Speaker 1: I feel like I can trust the loyal listeners of
Speaker 1: this show. They wouldn't they wouldn't mess with me, they
Speaker 1: wouldn't mislead me just to see if you know, they
Speaker 1: can play a prank on the show here Coffee and Company.
Speaker 1: But I talked about it yesterday, how Louisville going one
Speaker 1: month over a month actually without a home game can't
Speaker 1: be normal in Power for Football, and it was because
Speaker 1: somebody had texted in saying, hey, who's to blame for this?
Speaker 1: Like how could this happen? And I don't know who
Speaker 1: to blame? I mean, maybe just bad luck. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: But somebody who texts in this show pretty regularly just
Speaker 1: sent this in earlier today that said that they looked
Speaker 1: it up and there's not a single Power for program
Speaker 1: other than Louisville that went as long as they are
Speaker 1: going to go without a home game. I'm just going
Speaker 1: to trust that you did the research. I don't think
Speaker 1: you need to cite your sources. I'm just gonna believe it.
Speaker 1: If somebody sent it in to the Ellen and Federal
Speaker 1: Credit Union X line, then it has to be true.
Speaker 1: I mean, think about that. That's not normal. I mean,
Speaker 1: we all know around here, like, Hey, why does it
Speaker 1: feel like it's been forever since Lowell had a home game.
Speaker 1: It's because it has been forever, and usually during a season,
Speaker 1: you don't go this long. So still not sure who
Speaker 1: to blame. I guess blame the acc But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I would not be shocked at all if Louisville is
Speaker 1: the only program. So therefore, I'm going to trust that
Speaker 1: this texter who's been texting the show for many years,
Speaker 1: and they've you know, they've never given me any indication
Speaker 1: that they would be one to try to, you know,
Speaker 1: try to pull a prank. And what I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: by that is maybe sending in something because some people
Speaker 1: have tried it and I've not been I've not fallen
Speaker 1: for it yet where I just get caught reading the
Speaker 1: text line rapidly and then you know, reading something that
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't have read on air. I've come close,
Speaker 1: but it's not it's not happened just yet. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like there's been a big loll
Speaker 1: here in the season.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: It's nice to have this downtime. Knowing the most recent
Speaker 1: performance that you saw from Louisville was the first time
Speaker 1: they ever beat Clemson. But yeah, just I'm sure basketball
Speaker 1: emerging getting so much attention last week with the big
Speaker 1: lead up to the Tennessee game. But yeah, it feels
Speaker 1: like I've been without Louisville football for far too long.
Speaker 1: But they are back in action on Saturday, taking on
Speaker 1: Stanford West Coast matchup, and you know, here's to hoping
Speaker 1: that they take care of business. Twenty point favorites right now,
Speaker 1: so we'll have you covered on game day. We will
Speaker 1: have our pregame show starting at two thirty, the Louisville
Speaker 1: Football Pregame Show presented by Pellow Windows and Doors of
Speaker 1: Central Kentucky and Jefferson Animal Hospital, and then as soon
Speaker 1: as it ends, we go live for the Louisville Football
Speaker 1: Postgame Show presented by Alex R. White Lawyers. Sue Distracted
Speaker 1: Driver dot Com. All right, so they announced the kickoff
Speaker 1: time for Louisville and Pittsburgh next week, and it's going
Speaker 1: to be either three thirty or four. It depends on
Speaker 1: which of the two ESPN networks that the game is
Speaker 1: going to be on. So relatively we know the time
Speaker 1: start just going to be three thirty or four, So
Speaker 1: that gives Louisville and you know, no night games this
Speaker 1: season at home. And Kelly Dicky, of course ul statistical guru,
Speaker 1: who you're not if you're on Twitter at all, be
Speaker 1: sure you're following real card game because he's always cranking
Speaker 1: out really interesting stats facts, trivia and honestly he doesn't
Speaker 1: know it, but he's helped me a lot with interesting
Speaker 1: things for this show, So thank you, Kelly Dicky. But
Speaker 1: he says Louisville will have no home night games this
Speaker 1: season for the first time since having none for three
Speaker 1: straight seasons between nineteen ninety six, ninety seven and ninety eight, which,
Speaker 1: of course louisll football was in a much different place
Speaker 1: at that time. They were not on any big television
Speaker 1: network or anything like that. So yeah, I mean that
Speaker 1: that sounds about right, and I can't really you know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure every fan within the fan base has their
Speaker 1: own feelings for it, but it does kind of feel
Speaker 1: like the season has kind of just flown by. It
Speaker 1: kind of felt like we never really, you know, had
Speaker 1: a moment. Now, we did on Saturday a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago and they won at Clemson. But usually when
Speaker 1: I think of previous seasons and the ride, that is
Speaker 1: a twelve game season. You know, I think of big
Speaker 1: moments for home games, and you know, Louisville this year,
Speaker 1: they just had to really mean, look, if you would
Speaker 1: have won against SMU at that point, it would have
Speaker 1: just felt like you were taking care of business, doing
Speaker 1: what you were supposed to do. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: but you want to get tot Miami. It would have
Speaker 1: been like the ultimate, Hey, we finally broke through and
Speaker 1: here we go, big game. Brom comes through again. So
Speaker 1: maybe that's why it kind of feels like it, but
Speaker 1: it feels like the season's gone by way too fast
Speaker 1: because in a way, I kind of feel like, wait,
Speaker 1: we haven't really gotten totally started yet. Now again, maybe
Speaker 1: that's just me, but there's no doubt the home schedule
Speaker 1: really just being what it was was kind of a letdown,
Speaker 1: and we knew that going in looking at this schedule
Speaker 1: on paper, and in fact we looked at a little
Speaker 1: bit because Miami ended up being a bigger matchup than
Speaker 1: we thought it would be. I mean, they were top
Speaker 1: five at the time, and then Pittsburgh they've since lost
Speaker 1: two in a row, but they're going to better than
Speaker 1: what you had anticipated. But other than that, I mean,
Speaker 1: we didn't know SMU was was good at the time,
Speaker 1: and they beat you. So, you know, I think it's
Speaker 1: a variety of things. One no night games, a month
Speaker 1: off between home games, which is just ridiculous, and you know,
Speaker 1: the whole flow has just been off. You had two
Speaker 1: nothing Burgers to start the season. I mean, you did
Speaker 1: all you could. You blew out Jacksonville State and Austin
Speaker 1: p But that to me didn't really feel like anything.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was nice to see guys putting them numbers.
Speaker 1: It was nice, you know, for the season to be here.
Speaker 1: But those games, I mean those I hate those games.
Speaker 1: Just me, but I hate them. And then you have
Speaker 1: your first real game against Georgia Tech. After that, you
Speaker 1: go on the road to Notre Dame and you know,
Speaker 1: you lose a frustrating one. And then from from Notre
Speaker 1: Dame on, it was really about a three to four
Speaker 1: week timeframe where you're thinking, like, all right, what's going on?
Speaker 3: Like are we any good?
Speaker 1: We keep playing good teams, closed can't get over the hump,
Speaker 1: making mistakes that you feel like you should you should avoid,
Speaker 1: and then you know you had the breakthrough again. But
Speaker 1: I guess, really the breakthrough for me was second half
Speaker 1: of Boston College, and then of course it carried over
Speaker 1: to Clemson, which was great. But yeah, the whole flow
Speaker 1: has been just off. But I will say this to
Speaker 1: say that there's no night home games this year, I
Speaker 1: kind of feel like that's not the truth, because if
Speaker 1: the game starts at four, by the end of the
Speaker 1: second quarter, it's going to be nighttime, right like it's
Speaker 1: it might be dark outside right now. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't believe that it is because it's four o'clock, four ten,
Speaker 1: I should say, but I mean it'll be Put it
Speaker 1: this way, if you tailgate for a long time, then yeah,
Speaker 1: the majority that's going to be taking place during the day.
Speaker 1: But even if you tailgate for night games, not a
Speaker 1: lot of your tailgate is actually done when it's dark outside,
Speaker 1: I would imagine. So you know, there's a good chance
Speaker 1: that the majority of your experience at Cardinal Stadium next
Speaker 1: Saturday will be when it's dark outside. So it's kind
Speaker 1: of something. I mean, I like night games like anybody else.
Speaker 1: They're fine, but you know, I think to know that
Speaker 1: the second half of next week will be at night,
Speaker 1: that's something, right. Yeah, maybe I'm reaching I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: It's gotta be worth something, all right. It's Coffee and Company.
Speaker 1: Hopefully that's worth something to you. We are fueled by
Speaker 1: Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven to ninety Nick Coffee.
Speaker 1: That's me Austin Montgomery alongside. We've got you till six o'clock.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be joined coming up here about twenty minutes
Speaker 1: by the one and only C. L. Brown. He is
Speaker 1: in Atlanta for the Champions Classic. Interested in getting CL's
Speaker 1: thoughts on really what he took away from the beat
Speaker 1: down Tennessee handed Louisville on Saturday. Obviously some big matchups
Speaker 1: tonight that he's going to be covering for the CJ
Speaker 1: Kentucky taken on Duke, Michigan State and Kansas. But Seal
Speaker 1: also wrote an article that I found to be pretty interesting,
Speaker 1: and I kind of agree with it, at least until
Speaker 1: you know it happens, and then I complain because it
Speaker 1: might be something that I don't like as a Louisville fan.
Speaker 1: But bringing back divisions is going to end up being
Speaker 1: something that I think a lot of college football fans
Speaker 1: end up wanting to happen, because what you now know
Speaker 1: is that because there's so many teams in this league.
Speaker 1: Your schedule one year could be super beneficial for you.
Speaker 1: Your schedule the next year could be completely terrible. You
Speaker 1: just don't know. So, you know, like last year, Louisville
Speaker 1: ended up getting a really, really manageable schedule. This year,
Speaker 1: they've played the toughest schedule in their conference, and it's
Speaker 1: not quite close now. Going into the season, I don't
Speaker 1: think anybody would have thought that because you had I mean,
Speaker 1: you didn't have Florida State on the schedule, and nobody
Speaker 1: knew they'd be the worst team in the league. But
Speaker 1: here we are. Nobody knew SMU was going to be
Speaker 1: the only undefeated team in the league, but here we are.
Speaker 1: Miami has lived up to the hype that they were
Speaker 1: getting preseason. In fact, I think even though they lost
Speaker 1: last week, I'd say that they've exceeded it, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you. Obviously, Clemson, they only have one loss
Speaker 1: in the league play, and that's the one that Louisville
Speaker 1: gave them. So when it comes to the best teams
Speaker 1: in the league, Louisvill's played all of them, so sometimes
Speaker 1: it you know, and if you have a division, I
Speaker 1: guess they could still play out that way. But what
Speaker 1: you're gonna see is, in the next few years, you'll
Speaker 1: see teams that are, I don't know, thirteenth fourteenth, fifteenth,
Speaker 1: sixteenth in the college Football's final playoff rankings, and they'll realize, well,
Speaker 1: they they didn't get an opportunity to play the best
Speaker 1: team in the league that would have given them a
Speaker 1: chance to jump up. And or maybe there's a team
Speaker 1: that's ahead of them and you know they're ahead of
Speaker 1: you just because the league gave them a more manageable schedule.
Speaker 1: There's never going to be a perfect scenario. There's never
Speaker 1: gonna be a perfect way to put twelve teams in,
Speaker 1: or put four teams in, or put eighteen teams in.
Speaker 1: There's always gonna be teams right outside that feel like
Speaker 1: there were some things outside their control that kept them
Speaker 1: from getting in. So with that said, no matter what
Speaker 1: you do, they're gonna always there's always gonna be people saying, well,
Speaker 1: they should do this, they should do because in the moment,
Speaker 1: that's a fan thinking well, we got screwed. This wasn't
Speaker 1: fair to us. But that's that's you know, that's never
Speaker 1: that's never going away. All right, Well, we'll talk to
Speaker 1: see you all again coming up here in about fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes or so. Let's go to the text line five
Speaker 1: oh two six five three zero seven nineties the number.
Speaker 1: If you guys want a text in the Ellen and
Speaker 1: Federal Credit Union text line. Members get more at Ellenn
Speaker 1: Federal Credit Union. You can learn more and open your
Speaker 1: account today at LNFCU dot com. This text says, Nick,
Speaker 1: you mentioned Kenny pain and I gotta say it. Noah
Speaker 1: Waterman keeping the price tag on his shoes while playing
Speaker 1: in a game bothered me more than I wanted it to,
Speaker 1: and it reminded me of something Kenny Payne's teams would do.
Speaker 1: What's up with that? I can't tell you what's up
Speaker 1: with that, but I can tell you that I saw that,
Speaker 1: and I mean I didn't I didn't care for it.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to understand that. Like, I'm not young anymore.
Speaker 1: So if that's like just a young thing, like wearing
Speaker 1: two different color shoes in a game, like to me,
Speaker 1: I feel like a boomer, Like this just shows you're
Speaker 1: not taking the job serious, you're not focused. Well maybe
Speaker 1: it's just like kids being kids and they're not really
Speaker 1: kids though. To be honest, these two because Cason wears
Speaker 1: two different shoes and somebody texts it about that on
Speaker 1: the postgame show. Why is he wearing two of the
Speaker 1: same shoes in different color. I mean, I guess it's
Speaker 1: the style, it's the look look good, play good. I
Speaker 1: mean I would never do that. I would never own
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I do actually own some shoes
Speaker 1: that are the same, just different color, but like, I
Speaker 1: would never think to do it. So it's kind of like,
Speaker 1: let me give you an example. In the locker room. Over
Speaker 1: the summer, Kentucky's basketball players kept doing like really cringe
Speaker 1: level like dancing TikTok videos. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: saw any of those, Austin, but like there were. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I had a tough time, you know. But again,
Speaker 1: I can't relate, like I would never do that. I don't.
Speaker 1: It's just not my generation, which is weird to say
Speaker 1: because usually I feel like I am the younger generation,
Speaker 1: but not anymore. I'm kind of in the middle. But
Speaker 1: like dancing on TikTok and looking kind of silly and
Speaker 1: kind of like wimpy, like that's just what people of
Speaker 1: that age do now doesn't mean that they're not taking
Speaker 1: it serious. So like they're just being being kids. I
Speaker 1: guess yeah, And it doesn't mean that like if you
Speaker 1: lose a game, that's why because they were dancing in
Speaker 1: the locker room because somebody left the price tag on
Speaker 1: their shoe. But it does give it, you know, it
Speaker 1: doesn't give the the look or the feel that you're
Speaker 1: you're really focused and locked in. To be honest, it
Speaker 1: probably has nothing to do with anything as far as
Speaker 1: what happens on the floor, but it is an easy
Speaker 1: thing for people to point to and say, what are
Speaker 1: you doing, you knucklehead while you goofing off. Let's take
Speaker 1: it serious. Let's let's tie our shoes and let's you know,
Speaker 1: not leave the price tag on them. Did you happen
Speaker 1: to see that at all, Austin?
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 4: Usually there there is like sort of fashion statement to
Speaker 4: deal with that, but it's more or less like on
Speaker 4: the Nike side, like if you've ever seen like some
Speaker 4: of their their off white branding, it's what it's called.
Speaker 4: They usually have like the tickers and the pull the
Speaker 4: stickers and the pool tag on them still and but
Speaker 4: not in this case. I would like to think other
Speaker 4: than just kind of being like at Doufist and just
Speaker 4: leaving it on and thinking that's cool. Like I would
Speaker 4: like to think that they probably get fresh shoes every
Speaker 4: game for Medida's right, and that's just kind of something
Speaker 4: that you kind of missing because you're pulling out like
Speaker 4: the inside stuffings or tying the shoe. Maybe the small,
Speaker 4: little generic tag was something he forgot to pull off.
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to give him the benefit of
Speaker 1: the doubt here and again, even if he did leave
Speaker 1: it there because he thought it looked cool whatever, Like
Speaker 1: you know, that's if that's a cool thing to do.
Speaker 1: Who am I to say it's cool or uncool, because
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not the police when it comes to
Speaker 1: that stuff, and in fact, I'm not qualified to know
Speaker 1: what's cool and what's not for kids that are in
Speaker 1: college this day and age. But I used to work
Speaker 1: at a shoe store. One of my first jobs was
Speaker 1: I worked at finish line. Where that tag is is
Speaker 1: not normal. So I'm I mean, I'll give him the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt that like maybe he didn't even
Speaker 1: know that it was there and he started tying his
Speaker 1: shoes and he pulled the tongue up and there it was.
Speaker 1: But like that's not typically where that would be like
Speaker 1: if that shoe was going to be on like display
Speaker 1: somewhere like that would never be where it was almost
Speaker 1: like it was placed there to just say, hey, look
Speaker 1: here's the price tag, which again I don't know what
Speaker 1: the benefit of doing that would be. But you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that somebody has texted about it. I
Speaker 1: thought about bringing it up on the postgame show, but
Speaker 1: I didn't want to sound like a boomer. But here
Speaker 1: I am again. I'd be a liar if I said.
Speaker 1: It really boiled my blood and I was angry and
Speaker 1: feel like that's a factor in why Louisville lost.
Speaker 3: But like.
Speaker 1: I don't even like when guys are out there playing
Speaker 1: with their shirts untucked. And I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: because I'm an old crotchety man. Now that's like, you know,
Speaker 1: you should be more presentable, but like to me, it
Speaker 1: just gives off the look that you're not locked in it. Probably,
Speaker 1: I mean, it probably doesn't have any factor in anything
Speaker 1: like that, but just just you know, just the way
Speaker 1: I see it.
Speaker 4: So you remember there as a fad and this is
Speaker 4: something I fell in two years ago. You said you
Speaker 4: used to work at a like a shoe store. That's
Speaker 4: why I usually like the foot locker and like the
Speaker 4: dicks and stuff and what foot action. That's where I
Speaker 4: used to I went through the tall tee phase where
Speaker 4: everyone wore like the really tall T shirts and they
Speaker 4: still had the sticker that said tall Te's on them.
Speaker 4: I would a rocket with the stickers still on, or
Speaker 4: like with the hat, the new era hats where they
Speaker 4: still have like all the price tags.
Speaker 3: And all that boy on it. That used to be me, brother.
Speaker 1: That was a wild time. I remember that time well,
Speaker 1: remember it well.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's still the thing though, But
Speaker 4: like I said, I know, I know that the price
Speaker 4: tag and the poll tag on the shoes is more
Speaker 4: like a like a Nike thing. But I would to
Speaker 4: give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe just sort
Speaker 4: of forgot about it because it wasn't a weird place.
Speaker 4: Wasn't that Like the front, like where the laces.
Speaker 1: Are, and that's what I'm saying, like that wouldn't even
Speaker 1: be there. It would be on like the it would
Speaker 1: be on one of those holes where the laces go
Speaker 1: in or end right, or it would be like tucked
Speaker 1: underneath or something like that. Or honestly, This is what
Speaker 1: makes it even more unusual. These those shoes were not
Speaker 1: sent from a store. I mean they were manufactured by
Speaker 1: Adidas and sent to an Adida's partner school, which is
Speaker 1: U of L the where you wouldn't even think that
Speaker 1: they would need to put a price tag on them,
Speaker 1: just very And it might not even have been a
Speaker 1: price It might have just been something that just had
Speaker 1: the Adida's brand on it or something. I'm not sure,
Speaker 1: but it does remind me how bad I was working
Speaker 1: in retail from being an employee at Hollister for a
Speaker 1: very brief Oh. In fact, I think I only worked.
Speaker 1: I worked half a shift and then left and never
Speaker 1: went back. I think they still owe me a paycheck.
Speaker 1: By the way, whatever I was, whatever minimum wage was
Speaker 1: in an employee discount, that was my rate. But I
Speaker 1: worked two hours of a four hour shift and I
Speaker 1: got my break, and I called my mom and asked
Speaker 1: if I could leave, and I don't remember if she don't.
Speaker 3: So you were just done with it half the shift,
Speaker 3: Oh dude.
Speaker 1: I just had to fold an unfold close and then
Speaker 1: if people walked by, I had to say, have you
Speaker 1: heard how good our jeens fit? And that's just not
Speaker 1: something I was comfortable doing. Luckily, nobody ever actually took
Speaker 1: me up on it, like, well, actually, now that you say,
Speaker 1: I don't know, can you tell me, because I don't
Speaker 1: know what would have said. They didn't give me that part.
Speaker 1: They just wanted me to say, if you heard our
Speaker 1: gread our genes fit And it was really uncomfortable. I
Speaker 1: felt like a real d bag. So I went on
Speaker 1: my break and I got tumbleweed at the food court
Speaker 1: in the Saint Matthew's Mall, and I called my mom
Speaker 1: and I asked if I could get a different job,
Speaker 1: and she said yes, So I ended up going to UH.
Speaker 1: I went to finish line after that, and I actually
Speaker 1: worked there for you know, about six seven months, and
Speaker 1: I didn't mind the job because I you know, as
Speaker 1: far as retail, that wasn't fun. But you know, I
Speaker 1: worked with some friends, and you know, I was really
Speaker 1: into shoes at that time. And then I had a
Speaker 1: long break where I didn't care about shoes. I was
Speaker 1: like Fred Flunstone, I didn't care if I wore shoes.
Speaker 1: And now I'm kind of back on my on my
Speaker 1: shoe kick. Yes, but but I wasn't good at that
Speaker 1: job because you really can get incentivized by selling the extras,
Speaker 1: which you know, as somebody who buys shoes, I've never
Speaker 1: actually purchased what they're trying to hustle, the shoe cleaner,
Speaker 1: the laces, the insoles, like all that. They really, they
Speaker 1: really tell you when you sell a pair of shoes,
Speaker 1: if you can, if I remember correctly at the time,
Speaker 1: if you sold those extra add ons, you'd get like
Speaker 1: a you know, you get a commission of that, which
Speaker 1: you know always you know it always would go a
Speaker 1: long way. But two things that I was bad at.
Speaker 1: One time, I showed up wearing a pair of Nike
Speaker 1: Air Maxes that were probably my favorite shoes at the time,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know that they were Afoot Action Exclusive.
Speaker 1: So I'm on I'm on the floor at finish line
Speaker 1: and my boss comes over and was like giving me
Speaker 1: crap about my shoes, and I'm like, I thought these
Speaker 1: were Like thought, I'm trying to compete with you guys.
Speaker 1: You guys worked here a long time. You all got
Speaker 1: really really awesome shoes, some rare ones, expensive ones. I
Speaker 1: thought this was the best I had to offer. I'm
Speaker 1: getting crap about it. And then he told me, well,
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to wear shoes that are exclusively only
Speaker 1: available at a different store in the mall. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: how the hell was I supposed to know that?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 1: And then also had a really bad stretch there during
Speaker 1: Christmas season where I kept getting stuff stolen from me,
Speaker 1: like somebody would would want to come in and try on.
Speaker 1: I just was just gullible. I was seventeen years old.
Speaker 1: I remember like a kid would come in, like and
Speaker 1: I was a kid myself, but we're talking like an
Speaker 1: eleven twelve year old, like, hey, can I try these on?
Speaker 1: And he would come out and he got me once,
Speaker 1: and I thought I learned my lesson, but he basically said,
Speaker 1: you know, can I try these on? He tried them on,
Speaker 1: and he told me, yeah, I think these are a
Speaker 1: little bit small. Can you get a bigger size? Well
Speaker 1: he just left with the shoes on and left his
Speaker 1: old pair in the box, and you know, I realized, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess people are thieves, and like you heat, you
Speaker 1: need to be mindful of people stealing stuff. And then
Speaker 1: it happened again like a week later, and uh, I
Speaker 1: got I got. I don't know if I got written up,
Speaker 1: if that was the thing, but like they were trying
Speaker 1: to find something for me to do other than like,
Speaker 1: you know, being responsible for selling shoes. I think I
Speaker 1: then ended up folding stuff stock in the stock in
Speaker 1: the uh the.
Speaker 3: Backer area Jordan shirts.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So anyways, retail was not, uh was not was
Speaker 1: not good to me, But shout out to people who
Speaker 1: work in retail, because clearly it's a it's an important thing.
Speaker 4: I always thought that would have been the coolest first
Speaker 4: job because when I was in high school, I was
Speaker 4: the first to have a car, so I always wanted
Speaker 4: to be the first to have a job too. And
Speaker 4: me and the friends are the the goonies. Would always
Speaker 4: go to like the places with the snapbacks and then
Speaker 4: the hats with all the goofy stuff on the wall,
Speaker 4: like the like the foot actions, like the finish lines,
Speaker 4: and always thought that would have been the coolest job ever.
Speaker 3: But I never got that opportunity.
Speaker 4: And as I just kind of understand it's retail now
Speaker 4: and here some of the people's retail nightmares, I'm sort
Speaker 4: of glad I didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, retail was not was not lot of fun, But yes,
Speaker 1: at that age when you're young and you're looking for
Speaker 1: a first job, Like, that's the kind of thing you want.
Speaker 1: I never wanted to do like fast food or anything.
Speaker 1: So the finish line gig was I mean, for you know,
Speaker 1: it was work, but it was better than you know,
Speaker 1: some other alternatives. My buddy, I thought, had the coolest
Speaker 1: job first job. He's a little bit older than me,
Speaker 1: so he started working before any of my close friends did.
Speaker 1: But he ended up becoming the assistant manager of a Blockbuster.
Speaker 1: Oh and I just thought that was the coolest thing ever,
Speaker 1: because like I, you know, when I was young, I
Speaker 1: wanted to live in Blockbusters. I just thought that place
Speaker 1: was cool as hell. And then he got fired because
Speaker 1: he probably wasn't old enough to be an assistant manager.
Speaker 1: But he was working by himself, and there was like
Speaker 1: a big, a big party that like a lot of
Speaker 1: our friends were going to in the area where we
Speaker 1: grew up. It was kind of a big deal, and
Speaker 1: he had to work, and he was the only one
Speaker 1: working that night, and he just decided, I'm going to
Speaker 1: close up the store at six o'clock and just closed
Speaker 1: it early as if nobody would notice. And they noticed,
Speaker 1: and he got fired. But he had a hell of
Speaker 1: a time with the party. So it might have been
Speaker 1: worth that's all right, all right, quick break. CeAl Brown's
Speaker 1: going to join us, coming up here on the other side,
Speaker 1: so stick around. It's coffee and Company fuel Beth Thornton's
Speaker 1: right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 5: Now back to coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 5: Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 1: All right, So Mayor Greenberg just had a live update
Speaker 1: on probably all of the local news stations I was
Speaker 1: watching on WLKY in regards to the explosion that took
Speaker 1: place around three o'clock here in the Clifton area of Louisville.
Speaker 1: It sounds like they still there's thirteen I'm not sorry,
Speaker 1: not thirteen. Two people were I guess trapped after the
Speaker 1: explosion somewhere. They've been, they've been rescued, and there are
Speaker 1: a total of eleven people that were all I guess
Speaker 1: employees at this factory that have been transported to the hospital.
Speaker 1: It sounds like things were going on as normal at
Speaker 1: this at this factory whenever the explosion happened. So he
Speaker 1: did reiterate throughout the entire update, at least that I
Speaker 1: was listening to, that there aren't a whole lot of
Speaker 1: details yet but as far as those that were unaccounted
Speaker 1: for initially, they have been accounted for and they've sent
Speaker 1: some folks to the hospital. So scary, scary situation, no doubt.
Speaker 1: As there was a massive explosion. If you are just
Speaker 1: now jumping in your car, you're just now joining us.
Speaker 1: It happened right around three o'clock in the Clifton area,
Speaker 1: and it blew out windows of nearby businesses and homes.
Speaker 1: So scary situation, no doubt, he did say. Mary Greenberg
Speaker 1: did that. There'll be another update later on this evening
Speaker 1: as they get more information and gather more facts. All right,
Speaker 1: it's coffee and company. We are feel about Thornton's here
Speaker 1: on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you hanging out with us.
Speaker 1: We are now joined by the one and only Cel
Speaker 1: Brown or the Courier Journal, Cel. Before we get to
Speaker 1: tonight's matchup some big time college basketball games, I certainly
Speaker 1: want to discuss with you your takeaways from the Louisville,
Speaker 1: Tennessee game. Louisville really a wake up call, humbled, but
Speaker 1: you know it was going to happen at some point.
Speaker 1: I would assume Pat Kelsey and his guys are happy
Speaker 1: that they had it happen earlier rather than later.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought.
Speaker 6: It was a good game just to see where you're
Speaker 6: at early on in the season. It was certainly probably
Speaker 6: the final margin was was was bigger than I thought
Speaker 6: it would be. But you could see you could take
Speaker 6: some positives. You can see some of the things that
Speaker 6: they did well in that game, certainly getting twenty turnovers
Speaker 6: from from a team Tennessee led the SEC last year
Speaker 6: with the lowest turnover percentage, So.
Speaker 2: There there were some things you can.
Speaker 6: Take from that game as as yes, this can be
Speaker 6: built on, but you also look at it like there's
Speaker 6: there's just more work to be done. I thought. For me,
Speaker 6: I thought one of the things that I think Louisville
Speaker 6: is lacking is just kind of that that player who
Speaker 6: you give the ball to and you say, go get
Speaker 6: a bucket and and that helped stop a run or
Speaker 6: you know, just kind of give gives the team a
Speaker 6: confidence that that we're still in this and we can
Speaker 6: do this. And I felt like everybody is kind of
Speaker 6: on the same level on this team, and there's no
Speaker 6: real kind of alpha dog, so to speak. But that
Speaker 6: can develop too as the season goes on and as
Speaker 6: these games are played, but I just think right now
Speaker 6: they're still in this let's feel each other out and
Speaker 6: kind of see who emerges stage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one thing that I knew going in that as
Speaker 1: far as the way Rick Barnes teams play and his
Speaker 1: style as a coach, what he wants to put on
Speaker 1: the floor, I mean, it really is the exact kind
Speaker 1: of team that can take away and expose you. Like
Speaker 1: what we saw, and I still thought Louisville had a
Speaker 1: good chance to win. I mean, they were favored when
Speaker 1: that thing tipped off, and I think it's because Louisville
Speaker 1: does have some pretty good personnel. But Tennessee they look really,
Speaker 1: really good. I think they've made some really tough shots
Speaker 1: that Louisville defended pretty well. Obviously there were some other
Speaker 1: stretches of play where maybe the defense wasn't as good
Speaker 1: as you need it to be. But I was very,
Speaker 1: very impressed with Tennessee. And I couldn't agree with you
Speaker 1: more as far as just who's the guy that's gonna
Speaker 1: go get a bucket for Louisville? Who would two questions here?
Speaker 1: Who would you guess would end up being that guy
Speaker 1: down the line? If you can even again, it would
Speaker 1: be strictly a guess, but also I feel like Pat
Speaker 1: Kelsey's style offensively, it kind of makes it to where,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, they don't want to be in
Speaker 1: that situation, right, they want to They want to you know,
Speaker 1: five in, five out and spread it around to where
Speaker 1: it's not based so much off of what each individual
Speaker 1: player can do from a talent standpoint. It's really just
Speaker 1: about fitting a specific piece within what they want to do.
Speaker 1: But eventually you're gonna you're gonna play teams where they're
Speaker 1: gonna take you out of what you want to do,
Speaker 1: and you got to have a guy that can can create,
Speaker 1: can initiate something for either himself or others. And it
Speaker 1: looked right, you know, to me, it stood out really
Speaker 1: really it was obvious that they've they've never really been
Speaker 1: in a situation where they've even had to consider, Okay,
Speaker 1: who do we give the ball to and let them
Speaker 1: go to work?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think ideally, as you mentioned, I think ideally
Speaker 6: in pat system, they won't be dependent on one player.
Speaker 6: But I also think you got to have that guy,
Speaker 6: just one dude, at least one dude, you know who
Speaker 6: when things just aren't going well, when people are off,
Speaker 6: you have one guy who can get you what you need.
Speaker 6: I think, and I shouldn't even say just about being
Speaker 6: who gets you a basket. It's somebody who will make
Speaker 6: something happen. Because I thought for Tennessee, the kay Zegler
Speaker 6: was the guy who fit that role. He made some shots,
Speaker 6: but he also delivered the ball where it needed to
Speaker 6: get on a few posessions where you know, there are
Speaker 6: a few times in that game where it looked like
Speaker 6: Louisville was gonna crawl back into it and you know,
Speaker 6: make it interest and it's like every time that happened,
Speaker 6: Tennessee made a basket to you know, kind of deflate
Speaker 6: the crowd that was getting the noise, that was getting
Speaker 6: louder and everything like that. So I think with this
Speaker 6: Louisville team, I mean, I think Chucky Hepburn kind of
Speaker 6: has the resume to do it. Now. He's not, you know,
Speaker 6: what you would define as a shooter or necessarily a
Speaker 6: bucket getter, because you know, he's kind of cut his
Speaker 6: teeth on defense and just distributing the ball. But I
Speaker 6: think he has that in him to just make the
Speaker 6: play that needs to be played, to make the play
Speaker 6: that needs to be made to get Louisville over a hump,
Speaker 6: and right now I see a lot of kind of
Speaker 6: and it's just an unselfish team right now. Like I
Speaker 6: think there's a lot of deferring and a lot of
Speaker 6: guys who want to make the right play without thinking
Speaker 6: they're making a selfish play, if that makes sense. Like,
Speaker 6: I just think everybody is trying to trying to feel
Speaker 6: together and there's no one person who's like, you know,
Speaker 6: I have to take this on my shoulders.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you could have said it better.
Speaker 1: I think what happened right for everybody's eyes on Saturday
Speaker 1: was that they'd never been in any type of a
Speaker 1: situation where somebody was able to sew effectively really from
Speaker 1: start to finish, take them away from what they wanted
Speaker 1: to do. It was actually, I guess a good signed
Speaker 1: for Pat that man. He's installed that offense and they've
Speaker 1: got a style and they were trying to stick with it.
Speaker 1: It just it didn't work. Tennessee did a great job
Speaker 1: of taking them away from that. And you know, I
Speaker 1: think Chucky to me, he can run your team, he
Speaker 1: can initiate. He's not a guy that's just gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: be able to consistently put up a ton of points.
Speaker 1: Maybe he does every now and then, But who would
Speaker 1: you say? And again, I'm just asking you to guess here, man,
Speaker 1: I know it's tough to say with what we've seen
Speaker 1: and how we've seen these guys play at this point,
Speaker 1: but let's just say, regardless of style, you just know, Okay,
Speaker 1: what five guy line what five player lineup do you
Speaker 1: feel like would be considered Louisville's best case scenario most
Speaker 1: talented lineup, regardless of what style the game is being played.
Speaker 1: I know that's kind of a tough question, but I
Speaker 1: found myself asking myself that, Like, man, because we've only
Speaker 1: seen these guys kind of just fit roles that are
Speaker 1: specific to what the style is with what Pat wants
Speaker 1: to do. I mean, it's kind of like, you know,
Speaker 1: it could be many guys. I don't have a clue
Speaker 1: if there's much separation between like eight nine guys on
Speaker 1: this team.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, it's hard to tell right now. I feel like,
Speaker 6: but I would roll out Hepburn had lee Edwards prior,
Speaker 6: and I might even go Waterman because he's making threes
Speaker 6: that can open things up, you know, especially if it's
Speaker 6: a mismatch against a team who's playing kind of a
Speaker 6: traditional big at four, as someone who's not used to
Speaker 6: defending on the perimeter, that that could kind of tip
Speaker 6: the scale. And U of L's favorite because they're like
Speaker 6: Waterman is you know, gonna be one of their more
Speaker 6: consistent three point shooters. So I probably you know after
Speaker 6: two games that that's it.
Speaker 5: You know, check me later.
Speaker 6: I'll probably give you a different a different five, well
Speaker 6: at least a different two, because I think I think Hepburn, had.
Speaker 7: Lee and Edwards are kind of the core three that
Speaker 7: I would say you would build around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would imagine that if Louisville ends up putting
Speaker 1: together a pretty pretty good season to where they feel
Speaker 1: like they're, you know, in the mix for a spot
Speaker 1: in the field of sixty eight, I would imagine those
Speaker 1: those guys you mentioned, those three, they're likely going to
Speaker 1: be a big factor in that if, of course, that's
Speaker 1: that's how it ends up ends up playing out. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's switch gears to tonight's big games, the Champions Classic.
Speaker 1: I You've got Kansas, Michigan State, and then of course
Speaker 1: Kentucky and Duke. I love the Champions Classic because it
Speaker 1: gives us, you know, some big time games early on
Speaker 1: in the season. But I think college basketball junkies like ourselves,
Speaker 1: like we all know that these teams are going to
Speaker 1: look much different, maybe in a couple weeks, maybe in
Speaker 1: a month to where you really don't have a clue
Speaker 1: what to actually expect as far as the result, at least,
Speaker 1: I don't would what result of these two matchups would
Speaker 1: maybe shock you the most, if any, right, Like, would
Speaker 1: it be Kentucky beating this Cooper Flag team with Duke
Speaker 1: because he's you know, he's believed to be a superstar.
Speaker 1: Would it be Michigan State maybe taking down Kansas, who
Speaker 1: just knocked off North Carolina. Is there a potential result
Speaker 1: tonight that you would say, Wow, I never would have
Speaker 1: guessed that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think I see Michigan State winning, just
Speaker 6: because I feel like they tend to start slow every
Speaker 6: season anyway. And you know, Kansas already got tested at
Speaker 6: home against North Carolina coming off of that, and I
Speaker 6: think that I just think they're better right now at
Speaker 6: this point. But you know, Michigan State, obviously, Tom Izzo
Speaker 6: has built a career on making people wrong, of making
Speaker 6: people's predictions about his team wrong. So that that that
Speaker 6: would surprise me. I do think Kentucky has a has
Speaker 6: a tough hill to climb the night against Duke. I
Speaker 6: think Duke is coming in. I mean, if I'm raiding
Speaker 6: teams nationally, I probably have Duke in my top three.
Speaker 6: I just think they're they're gonna be tough all year.
Speaker 6: I think the lineups take the different combinations they can
Speaker 6: throw out on the floor, all with size, all with
Speaker 6: length and shooting ability.
Speaker 2: Uh, they're gonn They're gonn to be a tough out.
Speaker 6: But we'll see. I mean, the three point line obviously
Speaker 6: is a great equalizer, and Kentucky has started off shooting
Speaker 6: him at well. So so who knows what the result
Speaker 6: is going to be tonight.
Speaker 1: Let me let me rephrase the question, what's more likely
Speaker 1: Michigan State winning tonight or Michigan State eventually getting replaced
Speaker 1: in this event? It just kind of feels like they're
Speaker 1: not They're not, necessarily in recent years the same level
Speaker 1: of program as the other three. Like if I'm if
Speaker 1: I'm Yukon and they're a Nike school, Like, what do
Speaker 1: they gotta do to get in this.
Speaker 6: That's a good question. I don't know when when the
Speaker 6: contract for this series ends, but you.
Speaker 1: Know, cal at Arkansas is trying to get back in
Speaker 1: it too. I don't think that'll happen with you know
Speaker 1: he wants to say.
Speaker 6: I think he was kind of to me, he was
Speaker 6: kind of the brain shout behind it, or at least
Speaker 6: the one who pushed for it. So it's kind of
Speaker 6: like how this event without cal So, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean, Michigan State might be an easy target, but
Speaker 6: I also think it's still it's still tom though, it's
Speaker 6: still Michigan State, and they're still going to be respected.
Speaker 6: So I don't know how how they get pushed out,
Speaker 6: but I do think maybe it is time for refresher
Speaker 6: the same with the CBS Classic, with with Kentucky and Carolina,
Speaker 6: UCLA and Ohio State, you know, and again I go
Speaker 6: back to Cali Perry and these neutral site games and stuff.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't mind seeing these matchups and just return back
Speaker 6: to campus.
Speaker 1: I was literally getting ready to ask you that, because
Speaker 1: I've always said it would be a better it'd be
Speaker 1: a better probo for what college basketball can offer and
Speaker 1: for those who really don't experience it like we do
Speaker 1: around here or in the other areas of the country
Speaker 1: that love college hoops. I feel like you could make
Speaker 1: this still such a big deal, but just have it
Speaker 1: be rotating home games for teams, and it would still
Speaker 1: be a great television product. In fact, it'd be better
Speaker 1: because I think you'd have insane atmospheres. Like I don't
Speaker 1: really understand the true benefit of putting these games in
Speaker 1: these big cities. I mean, I think you could still
Speaker 1: have all the TV dollars that come with it, and
Speaker 1: you'd have a better atmosphere if you did them on campus.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I agree with that, and I feel
Speaker 6: like coaches kind of got away from it because it
Speaker 6: it's a little obviously it's tougher to win on the road,
Speaker 6: to take teams those places, and the ultimate argument being
Speaker 6: the NCAA is not played, you know, in a true
Speaker 6: road game. It's these neutral site games, or it's multiple
Speaker 6: teams and a lot going on, the crowd could go
Speaker 6: kind of anyway, So you know, I mean, I I
Speaker 6: see why they do it, But just for me and
Speaker 6: watching that Carolina and Kansas game and Allenfield House the
Speaker 6: first time they played there, and I think since nineteen
Speaker 6: sixty four or some something crazy like that, I mean,
Speaker 6: that was that was amazing to watch. And just think
Speaker 6: if Kentucky was playing this game in Cameron in door
Speaker 6: Stadium tonight, like and they probably haven't played there and
Speaker 6: as many years as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think it was early Tubby days
Speaker 1: when they played at Cameron last time. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it would just enhance the environment so much. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean again, you're right. I mean, and I always
Speaker 1: gave Kyle some credit for this because you know, he
Speaker 1: knew when he was at Kentucky that you know, he
Speaker 1: could avoid road games because you know, he when they
Speaker 1: play in the tournament, they typically they typically are are
Speaker 1: the home team no matter where they are because their
Speaker 1: fan base is just everywhere, and when you get to
Speaker 1: the games that matter, you're you're rarely ever going to
Speaker 1: be in like a road environment. Little did he know
Speaker 1: that in the early pods, when you've got a bunch
Speaker 1: of fan bases there, they're going to be really pulling
Speaker 1: for the little guy, right Saint Peter's and Oakland, those
Speaker 1: guys become the home teams because everybody there is rooting
Speaker 1: for a massive upset. But with this Kentucky team, if
Speaker 1: they were to like let me rephrase it, if Kentucky's
Speaker 1: giving Duke some problems tonight, and it looks like Kentucky's
Speaker 1: and you know, a pretty good spot to maybe win
Speaker 1: the game late, which certainly could happen. Is it because
Speaker 1: maybe they've been able to expose Duke's defense. I just
Speaker 1: feel like Kentucky is gonna win. It's certainly gonna be
Speaker 1: by just letting this game be a shootout, and maybe
Speaker 1: they just end up on top. I have a hard
Speaker 1: time because I don't even you know, I don't act
Speaker 1: like they don't emphasize defense for Mark Pope. They clearly do,
Speaker 1: but it's not their strength.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I definitely get what you're saying.
Speaker 7: And I do think Kentucky, at least at this point
Speaker 7: of the season, would be a team that has to
Speaker 7: outscore Duke to win, as opposed to shutting down Duke
Speaker 7: and muck, you know, muddying up the game defensively, because
Speaker 7: I mean Tennessee could do that, you know, physically speaking,
Speaker 7: the way they play defense.
Speaker 6: Kentucky, the way this roster is built, I don't see
Speaker 6: them being.
Speaker 7: Able to do that.
Speaker 6: But I do see them being able to shoot well
Speaker 6: enough to stay in this game, and you know, to
Speaker 6: compete from that respect. So so yeah, I'm just I'm
Speaker 6: excited to see Cooper Flag in person for myself to
Speaker 6: see if he matches what I think his hype should be.
Speaker 6: And yeah, we'll have some answers by the end.
Speaker 7: Of this night.
Speaker 1: Last question, these games have kind of become you know, well,
Speaker 1: as I started the conversation, everybody knows a loss here
Speaker 1: really doesn't do a whole lot to hurt you and
Speaker 1: young teams they usually get better by the end of
Speaker 1: the year. But with that said, if Mark Pope in
Speaker 1: his first big game against Duke, when they've got a
Speaker 1: superstar freshman in Cooper Flag more hype than anybody I
Speaker 1: can remember in recent years. I mean, in your line
Speaker 1: of work, those who cover college basketball, like that would
Speaker 1: be a huge statement from him, even if you know
Speaker 1: Duke's probably going to be better at the end of
Speaker 1: the year because of their ceiling. Like, I feel like
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for Pope that really sets up
Speaker 1: if he can get it done, of course, I can
Speaker 1: think it'd be massive for him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, when you think of coaches who have
Speaker 6: taken over some of the Bluepoog programs recently, no one
Speaker 6: that I can think of, John Shire when he took
Speaker 6: over at Duke, not Hubert at Carolina, not Red Autry
Speaker 6: at Syracuse. No one had kind of this marquee, a
Speaker 6: big marquee win early on like this, You know that
Speaker 6: that could kind of.
Speaker 1: I don't know, can I give you my best example,
Speaker 1: and this isn't a great example, but it's the closest
Speaker 1: thing I can think of. And he didn't take over
Speaker 1: for a guy that was a legend. But if you
Speaker 1: remember Juwan Howard went to the Battle for Atlantis in
Speaker 1: his first year unranked, won the whole thing, came back.
Speaker 1: I think he took out on for bee Line. That's
Speaker 1: closest thing I could think of, which again proves your
Speaker 1: point that you know that really hasn't been a guy
Speaker 1: that steps in this early that has that kind of
Speaker 1: a statement. But you remember when Howard looked like he
Speaker 1: was about to take over college basketball.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, seems like so long ago.
Speaker 1: It does things change.
Speaker 2: But yeah, this would be huge for for Mark Pope
Speaker 2: and UK just you know, for for guys to all
Speaker 2: be essentially be a team full of transfers who just
Speaker 2: got you.
Speaker 8: Who are just learning to play together and just learning
Speaker 8: to play under that Kentucky spotlight that that would you know,
Speaker 8: who knows how much of a boost they would get
Speaker 8: off of that, just mentally and from a confidence perspective
Speaker 8: moving forward on this season.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I don't see it happen.
Speaker 2: But it would be big.
Speaker 1: Same here, same here.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the town, brother, enjoy the games. We'll talk sooner,
Speaker 1: right man, all right, take care of Nick. All right
Speaker 1: that Cel Brown of the Courier Journal. We got to
Speaker 1: get out of here, quick break. We'll come back for
Speaker 1: a really quick segment five o'clock hour, is well, it's
Speaker 1: coming up soon. Stick with us.
Speaker 5: When it comes to UK sports talk in this town.
Speaker 5: He's the man. He knows the players and coaches, the
Speaker 5: strategies and game plans and stadium.
Speaker 1: Restrooms with the shortest locks.
Speaker 5: Kentucky Sports Radio with Matt Jones tomorrow at ten on
Speaker 5: Sports Talk seven to nine days Now back to coffee
Speaker 5: and company, fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 1: Super short segment here all my fault for again poor
Speaker 1: clock management there. I will say that I did hesitate
Speaker 1: to bring c all right in because I was addressing
Speaker 1: the scary situation going on here in Louisville. So it's
Speaker 1: not you know sometimes I mean, you probably have a
Speaker 1: little more sympathy for me if, in fact it wasn't
Speaker 1: a consistent thing, meaning you know my issues with managing
Speaker 1: the clock. But I'll try to get better at it.
Speaker 1: What I can tell you is that when it comes
Speaker 1: to keeping your pets healthy, keeping them safe, Jefferson HM
Speaker 1: Hospital is where you need to turn. They've been around
Speaker 1: for forty four years, right there on outer Loop. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've driven by their their location many many times
Speaker 1: and you've probably taken your p that's there for an
Speaker 1: emergency or maybe just that's where you go for checkups
Speaker 1: and to make sure that they're healthy, because that's the
Speaker 1: kind of reputation that they've established. You don't stick around
Speaker 1: for forty four years unless you're taking care of people's pets,
Speaker 1: and that's what they do at Jefferson Animal Hospital. So
Speaker 1: give them a call FABO two nine hundred pets. You
Speaker 1: can visit Jefferson Vets dot com and get more information
Speaker 1: twenty four hours at a three hundred and sixty five
Speaker 1: days a year. They've got a doctor on site in
Speaker 1: case of an emergency, so just keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: Emergencies are never expected They're not planned, obviously, but they happen,
Speaker 1: and it can be scary. You may panic and not
Speaker 1: know what to do. Well, they're here for you. Jefferson
Speaker 1: Animal Hospital again right there on outer Loop Jefferson Vetts
Speaker 1: dot COM's the website. All right, quick break, we'll come
Speaker 1: back finish strong here in the five o'clock hour. A
Speaker 1: lot more to get into, including some interesting piece, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of different stories within college football I want
Speaker 1: to get into. Also, college football playoff rankings come out
Speaker 1: tonight to give you a guess as to what I
Speaker 1: think happens. And of course we'll get into more of
Speaker 1: these big matchups in the Champions Classics o'clock hours next
Speaker 1: right here on Sports Talk seven ninety
Speaker 6: Mm hm
