WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:09.359 Talk seven nine day, It's time for coffee and company, 2 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:13.919 fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven nine day. Now 3 00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:27.399 here's Nick Coffee. 4 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:32.119 You hear me say this pretty often that although I 5 00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:35.280 mentioned weather every now and then on the show, I 6 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:40.280 mean it's pretty normal, I would say in broadcasting. But 7 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:45.600 where we are I learn that really more so in 8 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.079 the afternoon, because I've been on the air in this 9 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.719 building where we are broadcasting, really in my own cave. 10 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:52.439 I was doing mornings here for a little while, and 11 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:54.520 then I've been in the afternoons for almost two years now. 12 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:56.840 But for some reason, in the afternoon, like you really 13 00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:58.799 see how different weather can be, and you know when 14 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:00.560 you haven't seen outside for you know, four and a 15 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.159 half five hours. So I'm meant to during the break 16 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:05.359 there go run and check and see if we have 17 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:06.200 snow coming down. 18 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:07.120 And then I realize where we are. 19 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:08.959 I wouldn't really be able to tell anyway, because we're 20 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.239 inside here at four Street Live. But I don't know 21 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:16.959 where everybody's listening, hopefully all across the world, but if 22 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.400 you're in the region, sounds like there's some snow north 23 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:22.519 of us, maybe even right now outside here in Louisville. 24 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.480 I don't think it's going to be anything crazy as 25 00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.560 far as the amount of snow, but winter is here again. 26 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.000 I can't tell you if it's snow and right now, 27 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.640 I can't tell you, you know, if it's sunny, or if 28 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.599 it's gloomy, or if it's dark. But I do know 29 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:36.280 that it's cold because I was outside today and I 30 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:37.799 talked about this at the beginning of the show. 31 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.400 Usually I'm ready for cold weather. 32 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.439 I mean, I don't like being brutally cold, but usually 33 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.159 I you know, I'm not somebody that just knows cold 34 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.319 weather's gonna be there and I'm gonna be miserable. But 35 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.319 today I'm like, man, if this is the first day 36 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.239 of cold weather, it's mid and is now late November, 37 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.519 I've gotten soft because I'm not built for the cold 38 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.599 weather like I once was, because hey, this is the fifties, 39 00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.799 this isn't that bad. And then I realized, oh, the 40 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.400 chills crazy. It felt like twenty two degrees at one 41 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.640 point earlier today, So yeah, the cold weather is here. 42 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:05.840 We had to turn on the heat in our house 43 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:06.439 for the first time. 44 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:07.200 You guys done that? 45 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.879 Really? Yes, it's always cold in our house. 46 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.080 Anyway, So I'm always turning the AC off, but I 47 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:13.560 had to turn on the heat this morning. 48 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.319 Yeah it was it was cold out there, man, So 49 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.280 stay warm, everybody. And you know, if you are somebody 50 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.639 that gets the seasonal depression, I get it. 51 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:21.319 It's a real thing. 52 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.520 I don't know if I get like depressed when the 53 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.080 good weather gets here in the spring. I think that 54 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.960 my like seasonal depression is more so off of sports 55 00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.680 season and not like seasons of the weather, because yeah, 56 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.199 once once really Derby's over, I realize. 57 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:37.400 What is my life? 58 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.240 Yeah, I mean, and I hate to say that, because, 59 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.000 like you know, I do have a life, and I'm 60 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.960 very fortunate, and there are things much bigger to me 61 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.159 in the world than sports. But I guess not that 62 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.599 many things, because it is like, what am I supposed 63 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.400 to do other than you know, the obvious things like, 64 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.400 you know, take care of my children and you know, 65 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.039 provide for my family. What am I supposed to do 66 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.280 when college basketball's over and football's over and the you know, 67 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.520 the Derby season is coming gone. So you guys are 68 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.879 probably really bummed that we're here. I'm actually really happy. 69 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.360 So yeah, my condolences to you. But I'll be I'll 70 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.560 be right there in your shoes before you know it. 71 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:12.879 Because I can't believe how quick everything goes by. How 72 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.319 is it almost five? I'm like saying, crazy, man. I 73 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:18.680 know I say that all the time and I'm a 74 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.400 broken record, but it's just the truth. That's what I'm 75 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.240 paid to do, is to tell you my honest opinions 76 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.599 and and things that you know come to mind. And 77 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.919 it comes to mind to me a lot that life 78 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.479 goes by way too fast. So let's enjoy what we can. 79 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:30.759 Right. 80 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.360 Does your car have because you do have the nice 81 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.520 Volkswagen and it is all finally fixed. Autism tried to 82 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.919 kill it, but on the biggest piece of what I 83 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:41.319 can find in this studio. 84 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.439 But does it I'm such a joke. We said we're 85 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.240 gonna be childish. Yeah the rest of the way. 86 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.199 Well, get your I mean your mind out of the gutterry. 87 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.280 Does your car have a push to start like or 88 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:52.680 not to go out and physically start it? 89 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:53.199 Okay? Yeah? 90 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.840 So I in fact I learned that during the UH 91 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.840 during the rental phase whenever I was using a Volkswagen 92 00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:02.520 vvehicle while they were fixing mine. Thanks to AutoZone, who 93 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.840 again tried to kill it. I realized that, like I would, 94 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:07.400 I would take a while for me to get used 95 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.960 to the keyless entry because I'm always programmed to just 96 00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:13.800 take my key out of my car and put it 97 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.639 in my pocket and then you know I have it. 98 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.399 But like I would get I wouldn't need to remove 99 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.600 the key because you know, I didn't have to put 100 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.120 it in anything to drive it, where I would just 101 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:23.839 get out and leave the key in there and feel 102 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.399 like I lost it, not remembering. So, you know, I 103 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.480 have a newer car, but for some reason, like I 104 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:31.680 don't know, it's almost like mine is. I guess it's 105 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.279 not that rare. Mine's a twenty twenty, and I feel 106 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.079 like most cars that range or newer, most of them 107 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.519 are pushed to start. But I'm fine with my old school. Baby, 108 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:40.040 Don't I like. 109 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:40.680 Cranking the key? 110 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.279 Oh yeah, putting it into the ignition right. 111 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.639 And so like I I mean, it was like you're 112 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.000 it feels like you're honestly like using your muscle to 113 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.639 start your car and not pushing a button. 114 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.920 Right, It's it just starts off pure. 115 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.040 Man American muscle. 116 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:54.439 Baby. 117 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.199 My, I mean, I've been without a car for a 118 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.639 minute now. Because you still don't have your volts wine. No, No, 119 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.160 that's it's it's done. No, I had to sell it, 120 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.120 so me and the girlfriend are kind of trading off 121 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.839 her car. She works from home like ninety five percent 122 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:13.040 of the time anyways, but she's got like a four Nissan, 123 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.360 so it's still the old school with like the key 124 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:17.120 that you put. 125 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:18.600 In actually into the ignition. 126 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.600 But I've been spoiled because my mom got a brand 127 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.199 new Nissan not that long ago, and it's just she 128 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.480 can literally start the car from like inside the house. 129 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:28.920 And when you're just talking. 130 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.839 About weather, it's it's it's that weather to where I 131 00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.439 have to run outside real quick, start the car, get 132 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.079 in the freezing car, then run back in. 133 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.560 I'll finish what I'm doing and then But. 134 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:41.079 I just envy everybody that has one of those push 135 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.920 to starts, or just the one from the key where 136 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.639 you could just start it up from from inside your house. 137 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.040 Cause and I'm pretty sure we talked about this in 138 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.399 the summer, doing the dog days of the ninety degree humidity, 139 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.920 I hate getting into a car when it's just been 140 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:57.279 any types of weather. 141 00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.399 Oh yeah, no, I was literally getting ready to say 142 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.879 that I've had our first house did not have a garage, 143 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.600 and the last two that we by the way, I 144 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.839 don't I don't own three houses. I've bought one, sold one, 145 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.439 and sold another, and my wife each time just made 146 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.480 a rational decision, Yeah we're moving, and then we did, 147 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.480 and I just do what she tells me. 148 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.439 So we got you know, we probably still live in 149 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:19.240 our first house. 150 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.040 If it was me that had to like initiate things 151 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:22.879 because I just you know, in my own world, in 152 00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:26.240 my own bubble. But getting a garage was awesome because one, 153 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:27.600 you know, I think people would prefer to have a 154 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.439 garage rather than not. But I never realized that the 155 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.079 biggest benefit of garage is not about space or storage 156 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.319 or you know, the look, because they can certainly make 157 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.800 a home look nice. Sure, it's because of what you 158 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.720 just mentioned. Like in the summer, my car, you know, 159 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.160 when it's one hundred degrees outside and I go in 160 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.360 the morning to get in my car or in the afternoon, 161 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.360 it's not cool in my car, but it's nowhere near 162 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.000 what it's like if it had been baking in the sun. 163 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:53.920 Yeah, it's shaded. 164 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.639 Yeah, and the in the winter time, again, I got 165 00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:58.319 to turn my heat on. But man, if my car 166 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.120 was out there in the hold, whether not in a garage, 167 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.519 I mean, depending on where I'm going, even my car, 168 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.560 which again is relatively newer, it would it would take 169 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.879 you know, I wouldn't be warm and comfortable until you know, 170 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.560 maybe what I maybe to the time I pulled in 171 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:14.560 the parking lot of wherever I was going. So yeah, 172 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.079 that's and when I think of like, man if I 173 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:18.680 didn't have a garage, what I would miss? I would 174 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:19.680 miss that more than anything. 175 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.040 And you also have the thing where everyone does, and 176 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.959 a pure procrastinator knows exactly what I'm talking about, where 177 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.000 they're either trying to get to work on time, so 178 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.920 they're like they have just where the whole windshield is 179 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:33.959 still has ice on it. Oh yeah, and then you 180 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.319 just got to carve out that little enough in the 181 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:37.360 tunnel where you can. 182 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.959 You've given you you've given yourself very little time to 183 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.199 where you literally just are gonna have time to carve 184 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.199 out one window, a little space to where you can 185 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:47.879 see something, to where you don't wreck and it's still 186 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.399 dangerous and you might even get pulled over if the 187 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.000 cops see you. But hey, shout out to the procrastinators 188 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.800 because I've been there before. That's right, I've done it. 189 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.480 In fact, I usually push it so close for for time, 190 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:02.120 and I look, I'm sure if my wife, if my 191 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.360 family they're listening, you know, they'll tell you you're full 192 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.879 of crap. You're late all the time, because I look, 193 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.519 I'm not the most punctual, but I have for the 194 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.000 most part managed like places I go, maybe not regularly, 195 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.560 but like like I know what kind of time I need, Like, 196 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.519 for example, whenever I leave the house to get my 197 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.920 daughter to school, she's got to be there by eight thirty. 198 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:25.000 If my wife is still at home and we leave 199 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.079 for school, she's like, or do I need. 200 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:28.639 To send a note? Do we need to check her in? 201 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.639 And I'm like, chill, like, you don't, don't you don't 202 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:33.200 know how I got this down, Like there's no way 203 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:34.759 we're gonna be like we're gonna get We're gonna walk 204 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:36.759 to that door at eight twenty nine and she's gonna 205 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.240 be right on time. Like so I usually am am 206 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.799 on time for the most part. But I do have 207 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.000 a story about, you know, pushing it close like I 208 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:46.960 always have, and it led to me getting pulled over. 209 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.879 But it wasn't because of ice, so whenever I was 210 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.960 in high school. I don't know why this became a thing. 211 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.399 Like I know that, you know, you're not as mature 212 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.200 when you're when you're a teenager as you are when 213 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.320 you're a grown adult like I am now, although some 214 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.200 people probably don't think of me as a grown adult, 215 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:06.320 but I am, uh, you know kind of. But we 216 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:08.679 would not, you know, I can't say that I didn't 217 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:10.799 do it myself a time or two, but I don't 218 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.000 know how it became a thing. But we would prank 219 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.639 our friends or just people we went to school with 220 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.600 there maybe sometimes even strangers because we were dumb idiots. 221 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.200 But doing that, you know, pranking people is not why 222 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.200 we were dumb. It's the prank that we did. It 223 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.960 was rather harmless, but it was so childish and immature, 224 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:27.840 and like why we thought it was funny, I don't know. 225 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.039 I can't say what we called it because you know, 226 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.840 it wouldn't be appropriate on the radio. But it rhymes 227 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.879 with my name but starts with a D. We would 228 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.960 call it that that in that in something like Hey 229 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.679 I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go that word somebody's car. 230 00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.279 It meant that you would take window chalk like that. 231 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.279 You would, you know, put on a car to put 232 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:52.919 a price tag on it or to you know, or congratulations, yeah, graduates. 233 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:54.240 We would we would draw. 234 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.840 Chefts, I mean, you know, and we just thought we 235 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.679 would just we would think it was funny that somebody 236 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.399 would come out to their car after work or after 237 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.919 school or maybe when they leave in the morning, and 238 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.679 there'd be a big, you know, a big male body 239 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.080 part on on their on their windshield or on their 240 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.519 driver's side, uh door like window. And again, why we 241 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.080 did it, I don't know, but it's funny. We thought 242 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.600 it was funny. We were childish, and all I was 243 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.120 I was really late one morning it was actually fall break. 244 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.720 Basketball practice had just started. We had practice during the 245 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.600 day because school was out, and I woke up late 246 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.360 already and I knew I had to be at the gym. 247 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:32.559 And I walked out and they got me, and I had, 248 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:33.440 you know, I had them everywhere. 249 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:33.879 I had one. 250 00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:35.759 I had one on the in the in the rear 251 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.799 view a window or the review window, and then I 252 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:41.320 had one on each side of each door, and then 253 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:42.279 one on the wind shield. 254 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:43.279 I mean, and you know what. 255 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.960 Wasn't much coverage, so I just wiped off like half 256 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.000 of it, uh where I could see out of the 257 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:49.720 wind shield and I could see because you know, they 258 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.000 didn't it didn't completely cover the entire window. 259 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:53.200 It wasn't like a block of ice. 260 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:55.440 But you know, I could see well enough, and I 261 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:57.360 wasn't worried about getting it cleaned up, and I wasn't 262 00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:59.960 worried about, you know, looking like a fool, because I 263 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.159 didn't want to be late to practice, you know, that's 264 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.159 the last thing I wanted. But by leaving these you know, 265 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.159 big penises drawn on the window of my car, I 266 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:09.840 got pulled over Bullet County. You know, you can't be 267 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.120 driving around like that, and I expect for the for 268 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.039 the Bullet County brass to cut you know, pull you 269 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.399 over and let you know that you know you can't 270 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:17.080 you can't do that. 271 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:19.200 Uh So I ended up being late anyway. 272 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.240 And then when I explained to my coach what happened, 273 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:23.320 you know, I mean, I'm sure he was like, what 274 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.639 is wrong with your generation? And he had a valid 275 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.240 question and I can't give you a good answer. So yeah, 276 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.360 that was a long win in way of me saying, yeah, 277 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.480 shout out to us procrastinators out there. Yeah, probably not 278 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.320 a good trait to have, but you know, we we 279 00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:37.240 make it work. 280 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.120 And shafted from the front and the back. 281 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.000 Yeah, I mean it was. It was everywhere, man, it was. 282 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.480 And again, many years later, I still wonder why we 283 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:44.679 thought that was so funny, but. 284 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:45.519 You know we did. 285 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:47.120 I think you're just giving me some ideas. 286 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:49.759 Yeah, you could get away with it, and yeah you're 287 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:51.279 an adult, but like you're younger than me. You know 288 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.799 you can, you know, you can get away with a 289 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.120 little more of the of the childish behavior and you know, 290 00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:59.360 probably not look as bad as me. 291 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.440 But it's fun, isn't it. I don't want to grow up? 292 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:02.919 You kidding me? Absolutely? 293 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.320 We used to get well, I guess this doesn't have 294 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.840 to do with uh, what partisables or anything like that. 295 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:10.559 You like that word. 296 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.360 The big words are being thrown at me here. 297 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.039 That's right, very big on this show. 298 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:16.559 But like we used to Uh my friend bought a 299 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:19.000 thing from Amazon and it was like a card that 300 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.600 says congratulations, you parked like an a hole. And then 301 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:25.279 just when people just were just like the slightest bit 302 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:27.200 off the line, they would just set those on the 303 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.000 windshield and that used to get people mad. 304 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:29.639 All the time. 305 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:32.759 Yeah, but like that's also something that maybe you could 306 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.080 chalk it up as childish behavior, but like I know 307 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.399 grown adults that are old enough to be my grandparents 308 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.320 that would do that if they could, because there's nothing 309 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.799 worse than something like now you're making me look even worse. 310 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.279 Mine was just childish, immature and gross. You know, you 311 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.080 and your buddies are you know, potentially doing something that 312 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.840 probably people are like, that's a damn good idea. I 313 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:51.960 need to get some of those cards because there's people 314 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:53.919 taking up two spots because they feel like their car 315 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.080 is more valuable than others. They don't want somebody touching it. 316 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:57.240 Those people are the worst, are they not? 317 00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:57.519 No? 318 00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:58.000 They are. 319 00:12:58.320 --> 00:12:58.519 Well. 320 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.639 When I worked at UPS, like we all shared the 321 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.519 same community parking lot, and sometimes I mean, I guess 322 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.519 there's people on our crew and in your group that 323 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.440 if you came out last or if you weren't walking 324 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.639 with the group, then they would set like a couple 325 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.799 of like parking cones on your car and then just 326 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:13.480 dump a bunch of trash on your car. 327 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.919 So that's that's kind of that's that's over the line. 328 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:19.279 That's me. That's over the line. I've done it a 329 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:20.240 few times. 330 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.679 Pouring trash on somebody's car. Yeah, and that's just well, 331 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.559 I mean, you know. 332 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:26.240 Like the someone's like McDonald's bag or like a coke 333 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:27.320 thing in there and just kind. 334 00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:27.840 Of propped it up. 335 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:29.039 It's not the worst thing. 336 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:31.639 I get you made sure. It's not the worst thing 337 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.919 missed off. No, I mean you mean like if somebody 338 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.600 did it to you, Yeah, yeah, to me, Oh my god, 339 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:38.480 yeah yeah, but you did it as well. But yeah, 340 00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.360 there's a good feeling about doing it for someone else. 341 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.639 You have to go with the penises next time. Yeah, 342 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.519 roll with that instead of the trash that was you know. 343 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.480 That's yeah, that probably won't make him as angry. They'll 344 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.279 probably be like, what whos did this? 345 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:53.120 Like this? What? 346 00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:53.360 What? 347 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:53.639 What? 348 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:54.919 What message are they sending me? 349 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:56.399 You may not want to get caught being the one 350 00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:57.879 who did that, because they may think that you might 351 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.679 have meant, you know, something else. But anyways, let's get 352 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:02.720 this thing back on the rails. Better late than never. 353 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.039 It is Coffee and Company, five o'clock hour here on 354 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.480 a Thursday afternoon. Appreciate you hanging out with us here 355 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.679 On Sports Talk seven ninety we did talk some high 356 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.159 school football recruiting, and typically that would not be something 357 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.639 you'd expect to hear on this show, and I wouldn't 358 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:17.639 really know how to make it a really entertaining topic. 359 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.320 So it wasn't about any players specifically in the recruiting ranks, 360 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.720 So it's more so just about Louisville's current situation with 361 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.200 high school recruits. So they lost to recruit today from 362 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:28.480 the twenty twenty five class, which drops them now to 363 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.720 eleven commitments in twenty twenty five. And even before this 364 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.159 commitment or this de commitment and another de commitment last week, 365 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.759 they were already ranked last in the ACC which there's 366 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:39.639 no way to say that and it not sound, I 367 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.919 mean look like that's something that you never want to 368 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.320 see and that's like's just hard for me to think 369 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.039 there's any scenario where that's not a really bad look. 370 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.759 You don't want to be last. So it's prettye opening. 371 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.679 But depending upon how these rankings are put together, it 372 00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:55.919 may actually not be as bad as you'd think, because 373 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.919 if it's rankings like they're typically put together based more 374 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:02.440 on quan quality or i'm sorry, quantity and quality, then 375 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:04.080 you know that's how you could end up. You could 376 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.600 have a good class with an average rating that's pretty solid. 377 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.320 But if you only have eleven and everybody in your 378 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.440 conference has twenty something, then you're probably going to be 379 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:14.000 towards the bottom. That's just how it works. So again, 380 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.639 doesn't look great, and I'm choosing to believe. I can't 381 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.720 prove it, but I'm choosing to believe that would happened 382 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.159 against Stanford. Maybe the most embarrassing loss as far as 383 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:27.200 how it happened is one of the worst losses ever 384 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.440 for Louisville fans. I mean, that's it's still something I 385 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:31.120 can't wrap my head around as far as it happening 386 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.240 the way it did. So that doesn't help when it 387 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.399 comes to the recruiting rankings being not good and then 388 00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:39.679 losing commitments. But if you consider where they're losing recruits 389 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.039 and who these guys are, it makes sense. And the 390 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:45.519 one today that decommitted as a running back, I mean 391 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.279 imagine seeing Duke Watson and Isaac Brown, one of the 392 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.799 best running backs in the country regardless of class. Like, 393 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.720 if you're committed to come to Louisville next season and 394 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:54.919 these two guys are killing it as true freshmen right now, 395 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:57.399 I would be concerned about your mental health if you 396 00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:58.120 didn't decommit. 397 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.279 I mean, I say that jokingly. 398 00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:03.840 But like you gotta really just love lot all that much, 399 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:05.679 or you have to be that confident in your game 400 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.840 to where you're not worried about, you know, playing time 401 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:09.480 when it comes to a guy coming back just a 402 00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:12.039 year ahead of you that is an All American caliber player, 403 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:14.639 so you know that. Again, Tommy's not great. I'm not 404 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.240 saying that losing a recruit is ever something you're happy about, 405 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.960 but I mean it makes sense that this kid would decommit. 406 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:23.120 And I think Jeff Brohm is going to always lean 407 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:28.159 more so on the biggest addition to his roster every 408 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.960 offseason will be from the portal rather than from the 409 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:34.000 high school recruiting ranks. Maybe there's years where it's not 410 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.279 the case, but I think he is good at using 411 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.919 the portal. He's proven that again louisll didn't lose to Stanford. 412 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.519 Like Louis those issues this year. I mean, maybe you 413 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.960 could chalk it up to where they're making mental mistakes 414 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:51.879 and they have shortfalls because they're all playing together for 415 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:55.000 the first time this season. Their experience is there, but 416 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:58.759 it's not together like it's all new maybe you could 417 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:01.120 claim that's the case, but I don't believe that. I mean, 418 00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:03.399 I can't prove that, but I don't think Louisville this 419 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.359 year is losing games the way they are because of 420 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.240 having too many guys in the from the portal, and 421 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:11.319 in fact, louis is good. Louisville is good, and you're 422 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.279 more frustrated about the season being where it is because 423 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:15.680 you know, they went to the portal and got really 424 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.279 good players like Jacry Brooks, who, by the way, is 425 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.240 a finalist for the Blinking Off Award. I think that's 426 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:23.359 the award that that I don't know now I got 427 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:25.119 to look it up. It's not even relevant because we 428 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.079 all know Jacory Brooks is great, but he is a 429 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:30.920 finalist for one of the awards that goes to the 430 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.400 best receivers in the countries, meaning he's now I think 431 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.799 one of you know by this bullet cast, is it yet, right? 432 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:37.079 Yeah? 433 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:38.480 I mean, I know that's an award, but I don't 434 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.200 know if it's for a receiver or not. I could 435 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.160 be wrong, but either way, it doesn't matter. He's up 436 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:43.680 for the big award that goes to the best receiver 437 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.319 in the country, meaning he's one of the best receivers 438 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.359 in the country. So you have him and Chuck and 439 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.680 you got him in the portal. I mean, Brooks may 440 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:51.519 be one of the most talented receivers we've ever had here. 441 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.519 Like that sounds crazy and it sounds like some recency bias, 442 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:57.319 but like you can tell he was a five star recruit. 443 00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:58.759 You can tell he was a really good player at 444 00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:00.640 Bama until he got hurt in law to spot because 445 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:01.680 they have other really good players. 446 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:03.119 It is a wide receiver reward. 447 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:05.960 Okay, God, should I just trusted my gut, But anyways, 448 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:09.480 like the portal has not been a problem for Louis 449 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:09.640 for the. 450 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:10.240 Last couple of years. 451 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.160 It's been a factor and why you've had good years 452 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:14.319 and this year is not as good as last year, 453 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.240 but it's not because of the portal. So you never 454 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:19.160 want to see your school in dead last in recruiting 455 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.160 rankings because recruiting still doesn't matter, but it's not the 456 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:25.359 end all, be all, and right now, I mean, I 457 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.279 think Jeff Brown would be fine with taking a really 458 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:29.920 small class every year if he can pull off getting 459 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.319 guys like Isaac Brown and Duke Watson. So you know, 460 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:35.440 I wasn't even thinking about it. But somebody made a 461 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:37.359 point that coaches will use it against you in recruiting 462 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:39.079 high school players, that hey, why would you go there? 463 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:42.079 He never even you never, He doesn't even emphasize freshmen. 464 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:43.920 He only goes to the portal. The majority of his 465 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:46.480 roster newcomers are going to be transfers that are you know, four, 466 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:48.440 four or five years older than you. Yeah, you can 467 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:50.880 use that against brom but BROMP can also say, yeah, 468 00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:54.519 but look at Isaac Isaac Brown and Duke Watson and oh, 469 00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:59.200 by the way, also, you know, look at the small 470 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:01.000 class that I bring in and know that we don't 471 00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:04.319 go after just anybody. We'll go after guys who we 472 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:06.279 know are ready to play, so come and play for us. 473 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.000 And that may not be the truth, like maybe it 474 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:10.200 will take these guys some time, but like you can, 475 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.680 you can spin it whichever way you want. So I 476 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:15.599 think you know two things as to why this has 477 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.799 become a legitimate talking point where fans are worried about recruiting. 478 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:21.960 One of those one of those reasons is because this 479 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.319 is still relatively new. We're not used to seeing recruiting 480 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:27.599 rankings and seeing them be this bad and thinking, oh 481 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:29.519 my god, we're gonna like we're gonna we're gonna suck. Well, no, 482 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:31.319 it doesn't mean it doesn't mean you're gonna suck at all. 483 00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:36.119 You could be really good. But another factor is because 484 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.839 of what happened on Saturday, you won't convince me otherwise. 485 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:40.680 All right, quick break, We'll talk about the college football 486 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:42.519 plaoff rankings coming up here on the other side, because 487 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:46.519 everybody's yelling about the same few teams Texas and Indiana 488 00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:50.160 making the case for teams like BYU and Boise State 489 00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:52.960 as well as SMU on my side, but there are 490 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:57.400 some teams that have some crazy stats and facts about 491 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:01.200 their resume as of now that I'm not saying these 492 00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.000 should be talked about more than the others, but I 493 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.559 think it'll let you know that because of this new 494 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:10.039 format and how they go about it, you're gonna have 495 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.400 all kinds of teams that are in contention that you 496 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:14.200 look at the resume top to bottom and you don't 497 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:16.559 feel like they're worthy of it because we're still used 498 00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:19.039 to it being four teams. They got up a twelve 499 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:20.640 in and there's gonna be a lot of teams fighting 500 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:23.160 for a handful of spots, and they got you know, 501 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:24.039 some people are gonna. 502 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:25.319 Get left out. All right, stick with us. 503 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:27.559 We'll finish strong here in the five o'clock hour. I 504 00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:29.400 had fun, though hopefully you guys didn't, you know, get 505 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:31.119 too turned off by our childish humor. 506 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:31.359 There. 507 00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:33.400 It was fun, and we like to have fun right 508 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:34.960 here on Sports Talk seven ninety. 509 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:38.759 Now back to coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on 510 00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:40.480 Sports Talk seven nine day. 511 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:43.480 All right, we'll go back to the text line before 512 00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:44.880 we get out of here. And also, I want to 513 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.200 revisit the college football playoff rankings, and really it isn't 514 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:50.119 about the rankings. It's just about a guess to the field, 515 00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:52.839 those that are still alive for a spot on this 516 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.519 twelve team playoff. There's some facts about teams that nobody's 517 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.200 talking about. That Again, I don't think it proves really anything. 518 00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:05.119 It's just that what you're doing with Miami, what you're 519 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:08.839 doing with Texas and Indiana, you know, you could do 520 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.000 the same thing with a lot of these teams. Maybe 521 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:12.680 not for the same reason, but there's things you could 522 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.799 pick apart that you'd be like, wait a second, that 523 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.039 doesn't add up. How are they ranked here? Whether it 524 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:19.759 be you think they're ranked too high or too low. 525 00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:22.799 All right, I was talking about how, you know, when 526 00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:24.440 I was really childish back in high school, a lot 527 00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:26.119 of my friends we would draw. 528 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:28.160 We would we would do it as a prank. 529 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.559 We would draw penises on windshields and like that was 530 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:32.480 really stupid, but we were dumb. And you know, I 531 00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:34.400 probably shouldn't eve admit that kind of stuff on on 532 00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:37.440 the radio, but I'm an open book. But as I mentioned, 533 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:39.720 I got pulled over when Tom because I think the 534 00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:42.680 officer he realized that they he not only does this 535 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:45.920 guy have some inappropriate things on his on his windows, 536 00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.240 they they're they're blue shoe level, you know what I'm saying. 537 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.039 Like they've been they've been enhanced. And that's what blue 538 00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:52.559 Chee can do for you fellas.

I mean, I 571 00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:22.279 don't know what you're thinking about me. When when you 572 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:24.279 realize I'm right, because actually that now could get weird. 573 00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:25.960 Now now we're now we're in our own heads here. 574 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:28.200 Now you're going to be thinking, Hey, the guy that'll 575 00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:29.960 listen to on the radio, he's the reason why I 576 00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.119 am trying this. Oh, and while you're realizing that it's working, 577 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:35.039 I may come to your mind. You do that, you 578 00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:37.480 do without what you want. You know, you know that's 579 00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:39.400 that's your call. We don't even have to talk about it. 580 00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:41.279 But I just can see that that might be, you know, 581 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:43.720 something that could happen to somebody, and if it does, 582 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:45.799 you know, get it out of the way. It's a 583 00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.319 one time thing, and then you'll be moving on. Maybe 584 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:50.279 maybe you realize you wanted to and you didn't really 585 00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:51.920 maybe you thought it'd be weird. Then you realize it's 586 00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:54.160 not that you're thinking about me, but you know, just 587 00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:56.359 know that it works and you'll be happy that you 588 00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:56.839 tried it. 589 00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:58.599 Young dumb and full of blue choo. 590 00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:00.279 That's right, that's right, good stuff, all right. 591 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:00.480 Cool. 592 00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:02.759 So before we get to the text line, I do 593 00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:05.440 want to share these numbers because you know, I feel 594 00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:06.799 like I've talked about it here and there to where 595 00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:09.680 maybe I've overplayed it to where it's not as interesting 596 00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:11.680 as I think it is. But when it comes to 597 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:14.680 teams that are still alive in the playoff, let's see here, 598 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:16.559 let me pull it up. By the way, this is 599 00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:19.759 a great I love finding information on Twitter. 600 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:19.920 For the show. 601 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:21.960 In fact, it's probably my biggest resource as far as 602 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:25.160 favoriting a tweet or sending it to myself into direct messages, 603 00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.440 because I want to make sure that I've got it 604 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:30.440 here to reference on the show. Well, this this account, 605 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.759 it is Vern dumb Quist, like a parody college football account, 606 00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:36.960 but they actually crank out some pretty good information and 607 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:39.400 of course it's hence the name of Verne Lundquist. 608 00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:40.759 In fact, I lied. 609 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:42.519 I just thought Vern dumb Quist was the name of 610 00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:44.240 a parody account that is the handle, but it's actually 611 00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:46.839 a guy named Chris Marler who I follow and I 612 00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:48.640 see as good content, but I didn't realize that he's 613 00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:51.440 actually he's a radio host himself. But he puts together 614 00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:54.680 graphics that are really cool in formative that you know, 615 00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:57.640 you know, that make it easier for me to prepare 616 00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:00.000 for my show. So thank you, mister vern dum quid 617 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:02.920 Chris Marler. But when you look at stats in facts 618 00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:05.880 of the contenders here for the college football playoff, so 619 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:08.160 this is something you probably did know because a lot 620 00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:13.000 of people have talked about Indiana. They've only played one 621 00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:16.319 team with a winning record all year, So take away 622 00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:20.359 the fact that they're not getting really really good wins 623 00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:22.960 and they don't have any To be honest with you, 624 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:25.799 but the teams they're beating aren't even like average. 625 00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:26.559 They're all bad. 626 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:30.799 Even the teams that were you know, nonpower comp like 627 00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:32.640 non Big ten games, like those teams are bad for 628 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:35.480 who they are. And it doesn't mean Indiana isn't good. 629 00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:39.440 It also isn't as convincing to believe that they're good 630 00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:42.160 knowing that, like they've beaten up on everybody and they're undefeated, 631 00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:45.079 but they hasn't let me again strength of schedule comes 632 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:49.799 up so often as if it proves anything, and it doesn't, because, 633 00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:52.480 in fact, Michigan is the best example. Michigan had the 634 00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:55.599 same type of schedule that Indiana did until the very 635 00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:57.880 end last year. Now, they ended up playing Penn State 636 00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:00.960 and then they played Ohio State, so therefore they did 637 00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:03.359 have two really good opponents. Indiana is only gonna have one, 638 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:06.039 and that's what High State this weekend. So but Michigan, 639 00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:08.480 everybody knew they were really good and thought they were 640 00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:10.759 championship contenders, and they won the whole thing, but nobody 641 00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:13.200 brought up the fact that their schedule was insanely light 642 00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:16.319 until the very end of the year. So string of 643 00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:18.839 the schedule doesn't prove, you know, it just it leaves 644 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.240 open the opportunity for people to question if your results 645 00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:24.839 are as impressive as the you know, as the numbers 646 00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:28.279 make them look. So again, Indiana has an awful schedule. 647 00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:30.680 That's not a debate, that's not a conversation. That's the facts. 648 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:36.920 Are they actually as good as you know? Some Indiana 649 00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:39.400 fans choose to believe they're gonna find out soon enough, 650 00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:41.799 But it is crazy to think that they didn't just 651 00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:45.440 get a light schedule they got. I mean it's in 652 00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:47.200 you know again, it's not their fault, doesn't mean they're 653 00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:50.640 not great, but like facts are facts. Also Notre Dame. 654 00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:52.559 I don't know why Notre Dame. We had somebody calling 655 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.519 yesterday and bring up like them being undeserving a team 656 00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:58.039 that's gonna end up getting in because they're not in 657 00:26:58.119 --> 00:26:59.440 a conference and they've got a really good record and 658 00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:01.119 their Notre Dame, but they don't have a shot of 659 00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:01.759 winning the whole thing. 660 00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:02.559 And I totally agree. 661 00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:05.160 But usually Notre Dame is the team everybody's complaining about 662 00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:08.839 because they would get in and steal a four team 663 00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:10.960 playoff spot, or they play for a national championship during 664 00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:13.400 the BCS era, and everybody would claim it's because they're 665 00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:14.640 you know, they're not in a conference. Why are we 666 00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:16.440 gonna do this? Anytime they get in the postseason at 667 00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:18.839 the high level, they get embarrassed. Are we doing this again? 668 00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:22.519 And now I think they're a target more than they've 669 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:24.799 ever been. But yet all I'm hearing is Big ten 670 00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:27.440 fans in SEC fans yelling at each other, or the 671 00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:31.240 conversation about you know, the most deserving G five. So 672 00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:34.640 you know, Notre Dame they're in, but like I think 673 00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:37.759 they could be discussed as maybe the biggest. Like again, 674 00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:39.160 I don't know how good they are. They do have 675 00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:43.119 some decent wins that, in my opinion, you know, have 676 00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:44.720 lost a little bit of their luster. But like when 677 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:46.720 they did have the NIU loss, when they beat Louisville, 678 00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:48.559 and Louisville ended up being a top twenty team, and 679 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:50.160 Texas A and M has been a top twenty team 680 00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:52.119 really all year. That made it to where you didn't 681 00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:55.160 focus as much on the NIU loss, But I mean 682 00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:59.319 Notre Dame. They haven't played a true road game since 683 00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:02.200 Week three when they want it one and nine perdue, 684 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:05.960 so you know, they have a you know, somewhat of 685 00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:10.319 a solid resume. But again, their best wins don't look 686 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:12.240 as good as they did two weeks ago, and they 687 00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:14.960 have a glaringly bad loss that nobody else ever has. 688 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.319 And yet again, I don't think people should claim that 689 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:19.640 the NIU loss is like proof that. 690 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:21.400 They shouldn't be in. But I'm surprised. 691 00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:23.839 It's not like I'm encouraging everybody to have this conversation, 692 00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:26.200 but I am surprised there hasn't been more people that 693 00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:29.200 realized if they played in a real league or any 694 00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:30.720 league in general. They don't play in a league at all, 695 00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:35.319 you'd have more like they'd have more opportunities to kind 696 00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:37.400 of really show if they're good or they're not. They're 697 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.079 not playing in a conference. There's no consistency within their schedule. 698 00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:42.599 They don't have that extra data point to potentially take 699 00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:45.480 a loss and lose out. Like again, there's legitimate worry 700 00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.119 that whoever loses the SEC championship game is going to 701 00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:50.119 just to be eliminated. And those coaches in the SEC, 702 00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:51.640 of course, don't feel like that should be held against 703 00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:53.960 him because you know, they're playing in the SEC Championship. 704 00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:57.400 Like Notre Dame shouldn't be given the treatment that they're 705 00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:58.119 given by. 706 00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.799 The committee. I get why they do, but like they 707 00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:04.960 should be in a legue like everybody else. But that's 708 00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:05.240 just me. 709 00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:06.559 I know it's not just me. 710 00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:08.279 But again, if they were gonna be forced to go 711 00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:10.319 into a league, it would have happened long ago. All right, 712 00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:12.359 Boise State, a lot of people talking about Bois Right, 713 00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.279 They're looking like they're in pretty good shape to represent 714 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:20.759 the g five. Six of their last eight games were 715 00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:24.319 against teams with four wins or less. So think about that. Now, 716 00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:28.160 they're not only you know, they're not only playing against 717 00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:31.640 teams that aren't very good, they're playing against teams that 718 00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:36.119 are terrible. And yet Boise again, we all know. Maybe 719 00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:37.960 the reason people are complaining about Bois as much is 720 00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.160 because you just know that they're probably gonna get take 721 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:43.680 care of business and get in and there's really no debate, 722 00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:48.160 like there's not like again, that level gets a spot anyway, 723 00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:52.119 meaning nonpower leagues. So that's probably why they're not being taught. Like, 724 00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:53.880 if anything, I hear more people saying that they should 725 00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:55.240 be getting more love. I don't know if I agree 726 00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:58.640 with that, but with Boise, you know, somebody's gonna get 727 00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:01.119 that spot, regardless if it's State or anybody else. Like, 728 00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:02.720 that's not a spot that's going to go to somebody 729 00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:04.920 when it's all said and done. That is in the 730 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:06.599 big ten of the sec of the acc of the 731 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:10.000 Big twelve. Texas I think has turned in. I don't 732 00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:11.240 know why it took this long. I feel like a 733 00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.319 couple of weeks ago when we saw where Texas was slotted, 734 00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:15.599 it hit me that, yeah, their one loss is not 735 00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:18.319 a bad one. It's to Georgia. Who's great, but it 736 00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:21.599 wasn't that close. It was in Austin, Texas, and Texas 737 00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:26.079 has no good wins. So Texas right now, the only 738 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.160 two teams that Texas has beat with a winning record 739 00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:33.519 Colorado State and Vandy. In Miami, I don't know if 740 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:38.480 it's because Miami, you know, Miami is is a team 741 00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:43.240 that people probably feel like has already eliminated themselves. They 742 00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:45.559 could get in, but like you know, I think Miami 743 00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:48.680 having so many near losses and then finally losing, I 744 00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:51.359 think people are just kind of writing them off. 745 00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:53.920 But I haven't heard a whole lot of like debate about. 746 00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:55.640 Where they are in the playoff rankings, if it's legit 747 00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:57.160 or if it's you know, if the ranked too high 748 00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:59.160 or too low. But they also again don't have it. 749 00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:01.519 I mean, they have two wins over teams with the 750 00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:04.359 winning with winning records, and their best win is now. 751 00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:07.880 This is sad for Louisville, but Miami's best win now 752 00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:12.480 is not Louisville. It's Duke, Who's seven and three where 753 00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:17.640 Louisville sits at six and four. Another thing when it 754 00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:21.559 comes to Texas, Texas six of Texas's eight SEC games 755 00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:24.079 this year, are against teams in the bottom seven of 756 00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:26.559 the SEC standings. I'm going to defend Texas like I'll 757 00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.519 defend Indiana. That's not a good look for Texas, Texas 758 00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:33.559 being ranked with AAR like but Texas, but again, these 759 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:36.519 are similar situations. It doesn't prove really much of anything. 760 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:40.480 But Texas is also gonna show us where they are 761 00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:42.319 when they take on Texas A and M in a 762 00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:44.200 couple of weeks, or if they lose to Kentucky. We'll 763 00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:46.680 find out on Saturday. Because that that happens, we know 764 00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:48.599 that they're not nearly as good as the rankings indicate. 765 00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:53.519 But it's not their fault that the seven, yeah, six 766 00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:55.480 of the eight teams they play in league player in 767 00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:57.359 the bottom seven of the conference. Like that doesn't mean 768 00:31:57.400 --> 00:31:59.480 they're bad. It's just, you know, hard for them to 769 00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:02.839 go out and prove that they're very good. 770 00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:04.519 Now. 771 00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:05.880 Georgia, of course, is. 772 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:10.160 A team that is still as dangerous as anybody like 773 00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:11.799 I wouldn't be shocked at all they win the whole thing, 774 00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:14.799 but you know, they have more losses than they typically 775 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.480 have this time of year. They have their loss to 776 00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:22.039 Ole Miss, they have their loss to Alabama, and is 777 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:24.720 that it I think that's it. But either way, they've 778 00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:27.720 played five games against current top twenty teams this year 779 00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:31.279 and only one of those was at home, So you know, 780 00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:34.000 Georgia has some losses, but man, they've played a damn 781 00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:37.759 tough schedule against really good teams. And this is really 782 00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:39.240 is It has nothing to do with the playoff, But like, 783 00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:41.880 if you want to know why people aren't giving Penn 784 00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:46.039 State the benefit of the doubt, because I look, Penn 785 00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:49.000 State always wins games they're supposed to win, never wins 786 00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:51.079 the tough game against a team that at the time 787 00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:55.240 they're believed to be like on par with. Like Penn 788 00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:57.319 State just feels like a wasted playoff spot because of 789 00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:03.480 James Franklin is now two and twelve against top twenty 790 00:33:03.519 --> 00:33:05.480 five teams on the road during his time at Penn State. 791 00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:08.599 Now top twenty five opponents on the road. Very few 792 00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:10.400 coaches are going to have a good record. But you're 793 00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:12.720 the coach of Penn State and you're two and twelve 794 00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:15.000 all time, Like you should be better than that. And 795 00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:16.759 that is why I think you've shown that you don't 796 00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:18.599 really deserve the benefit of the doubt to be expected 797 00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:21.880 to win those games in Penn State's resume is pretty 798 00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:24.119 lousy too, right, last one of them, we'll take our 799 00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:27.799 final break. Tennessee and Indiana have the two worst opponent 800 00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:32.079 win percentage of the entire power For Tennessee opponents rank 801 00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:36.039 one to seventeenth nationally with a forty two percent winning percentage, 802 00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:39.039 and Indiana ranks one hundred and twenty fifth when it 803 00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:43.400 comes to winning percentage. That is quite literally an example 804 00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:49.759 of brand and conference benefit of the doubt and biased 805 00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:52.640 Tennessee's Tennessee Joshippel has taken them to where they're now 806 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.119 way better than they were for a long stretch. And 807 00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:58.920 they don't you know, they're not you know they're there. 808 00:33:58.960 --> 00:33:59.960 They're good. 809 00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:01.519 Like I'm not saying that they're frauds, but like you 810 00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:03.759 could pick apart their resume as well. If people don't 811 00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:05.480 do it because they're in the SEC and their Tennessee, 812 00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.159 it's Indiana. When people are wondering, you know, they weren't 813 00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:09.639 paying close attention to the thinking to themselves how the 814 00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:12.280 Indiana and up the playoff conversation? Wait kidding, Indiana is 815 00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.599 a top five team in football. You then go look 816 00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.480 at the schedule and say, okay, well that explains it 817 00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:21.000 they didn't play nobody, which again is true, but clearly 818 00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:23.360 they're good. Now how good they are again, we will 819 00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:25.400 find out when they go to Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, 820 00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:27.719 which I have no clue what to expect out of that, 821 00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:29.559 but what I do know is that that's got to 822 00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:32.840 be the biggest Indian football game of all time and 823 00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:35.920 probably not much competition, to be honest with you, all right, 824 00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:37.559 quick break, we'll come back on the other side, wrap 825 00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:39.880 this thing up, get you out of here. Coffee and Company. 826 00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:41.960 Feel about Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety. 827 00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:47.800 Now back to Coffee and Company. Fueled by Thornton's on 828 00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:49.559 Sports Talk seven nine. 829 00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:53.880 Day, we are wrapping up the afternoon here, but tomorrow 830 00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:56.599 Friday good vibes of course, and also it's game day 831 00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:59.639 Louisville and Winthrop tomorrow night. So we didn't talk a 832 00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:01.760 whole lot about it in the five o'clock hour, but 833 00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:04.760 there was an Instagram post or I guess a story 834 00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:08.000 as technically what it was from Corain Johnson that has 835 00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:11.280 understandably made fans worry about him coming back sooner rather 836 00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:13.599 than later when it comes to that shoulder injury, and 837 00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:19.239 you know, I would imagine that, well, in fact, I 838 00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.360 would expect now just imagine that they'll He'll be asked 839 00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:25.280 that before the game, maybe by Paul Rodgers on the radio, 840 00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:28.800 or maybe after the game in the postgame press conference, 841 00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:31.079 or maybe Corn Johnson plays and like this is all 842 00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:33.559 for nothing. But he posted a picture that says and 843 00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:37.280 I wonder minor setback for a major comeback, which then 844 00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.719 he has like the praying emoji and says God's plan. 845 00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:42.920 So again, not an encouraging sign for somebody that has 846 00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.880 already injured and missed a game. And Pat Kelsey couldn't 847 00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:48.280 give us much of a timeline earlier this week. Maybe 848 00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:51.079 they got info that you know isn't good, but we 849 00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:57.039 won't know until we know, so you know, I'm not 850 00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:58.760 gonna act like this is good news. It's terrible news 851 00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:02.280 for everybody involved. And where I think you really one, 852 00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:04.760 you just lose, You lose an experienced guard, and you 853 00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:06.119 lose one of your guards that was going to play 854 00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:09.440 a lot of minutes regardless if he starts. But I 855 00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:11.760 think Koran, despite not really showing it a whole lot, 856 00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:14.360 I mean, he's shown it at times, but this is 857 00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:16.920 the PAC twelve Rookie of the Year or not Rookie Year, 858 00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:18.199 I'm sorry, PAC twelve six man of the Year. 859 00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:20.480 So you know, he's as proven. 860 00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:23.440 And again, I don't know if you can compare the 861 00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:27.400 careers of you know, Chucky Hepburn and Cooran Johnson, because 862 00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:30.480 you know, both have have played at the higher level, 863 00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:32.679 higher levels than the majority of this roster, and both 864 00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:35.480 were good but in different ways. So I'm not saying 865 00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:37.400 that one is better than the other. I'm just saying 866 00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:42.079 Korn is as proven at you know it, being the 867 00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:44.840 player he is at this level as Chucky, so losing. 868 00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:46.119 Him would be a real big bummer. 869 00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:47.639 I mean, there's no doubt and he's just when it 870 00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:51.639 comes to pure talent meaning and talent can mean a 871 00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:53.320 lot of different things for different people, So you know, 872 00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:55.639 I guess I'll try my best to explain what I 873 00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:57.880 mean when I say talent. I mean you can have 874 00:36:57.920 --> 00:36:59.960 good players that have talent, but like then, you can 875 00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:02.400 see guys who don't play a lot of minutes, but 876 00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:05.119 they're on a roster like Tennessee and they never have 877 00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:07.559 made a big impact, but they were highly ranked recruits 878 00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:09.679 because of talent. Because that's how you end up at 879 00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:11.800 a program like Tennessee. So you know, with that said, 880 00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:15.199 at times we're going to see guys on the Louisvels team, 881 00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:17.639 and we did against Tennessee. You realize, okay, yeah, that 882 00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:20.360 you know, I know why this guy probably had the 883 00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:22.480 numbers he had at the place he was that wasn't 884 00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:24.760 the same level of Tennessee. Corn is one of the 885 00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:26.480 guys you'd have to worry about that the least, not 886 00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:28.679 because he's a super talented guy that's going to play 887 00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:30.639 in the NBA, but because you know he's the former 888 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:31.639 four star recruit himself. 889 00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:34.239 So it's not good news. 890 00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:36.199 But I will say, if there's something that can be 891 00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:39.119 taken from this that could potentially be beneficial down the line, 892 00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:41.519 it is that Pat Kelsey's now going to you know, 893 00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:44.840 have a backcourt that'll have a little bit more rhythm 894 00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:46.920 of anything, because there's just not those minutes to give out, 895 00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:49.679 Like you're not handing off Cooran Johnson's minutes to one 896 00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:52.559 specific guy. What you're gonna do is you know, rely 897 00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:54.239 on the other three guards a little bit more than. 898 00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:57.480 You typically do. So we'll see. 899 00:37:57.559 --> 00:37:59.679 You know, I'm talking as if it's already like confirmed 900 00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:01.639 that it's terrible news, and you know I don't know that, but. 901 00:38:03.159 --> 00:38:03.480 Don't know. 902 00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:05.840 We'll see, all right, you guys, have a good night. 903 00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:08.760 Stay warm. It's cold and it might be snowing, so 904 00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:09.320 be careful. 905 00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:10.000 Have a good night.
