Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee.
Speaker 2: All right, five o'clock hour underway, as we are going
Speaker 2: to get as much in as we can before we
Speaker 2: hand it off to Nick Curran and the Louisville Bats
Speaker 2: as they're set for action this evening, which again you'll
Speaker 2: hear it right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Coffee
Speaker 2: and Company, that's us, and we are fueled by Thornton's
Speaker 2: save money at the pump every day, save twenty five
Speaker 2: cents once per week as a member of the Refreshing
Speaker 2: Awards program. So if you haven't signed up yet, you
Speaker 2: certainly should, and if you don't, I mean at your loss.
Speaker 3: It is your loss for sure. All right.
Speaker 2: A bit of busy, busy show so far today, A
Speaker 2: lot to kind of reset here before we at least
Speaker 2: attempt to finish strong. With the amount of time that
Speaker 2: we have, we should be out of here a little
Speaker 2: bit around five thirty.
Speaker 3: But I started the show just.
Speaker 2: Acknowledge the real momentum that Louisville football seems to have
Speaker 2: right now. And I don't mean that they're looked at
Speaker 2: as some dark horse to win a national championship. But obviously,
Speaker 2: I think after two years and as you get close
Speaker 2: to heading into year three, you're getting a good return
Speaker 2: on that investment and bringing Jeff Brom home and you
Speaker 2: clearly are in a better place now than you were
Speaker 2: prior to Jeff getting here. Kentucky, on the other hand,
Speaker 2: they've taken a real big step in the opposite direction,
Speaker 2: where they're coming off of a four and eight season,
Speaker 2: the most disappointing season Mark Stoops has had at Kentucky,
Speaker 2: I believe, just based off the fact that there were
Speaker 2: real expectations, right like you can't go I mean, I
Speaker 2: guess when they went two and ten or three and nine,
Speaker 2: whatever it was in his first few years, I mean,
Speaker 2: that was kind of the expectation because of what he inherited. Well,
Speaker 2: he set a standard that was not elite, but clearly
Speaker 2: better than what they were used to. Getting to Bowl
Speaker 2: games was obviously something that just became a very normal
Speaker 2: and regular thing. And you know, moving forward, I don't
Speaker 2: know if that's the case. They were four and eight
Speaker 2: last year. They had good players. All those players either
Speaker 2: left to go to the or transferred out. And we'll
Speaker 2: see if he's got a better squad on the field
Speaker 2: next year. But I would not be shocked at all
Speaker 2: if they are four and eight, three and nine once again.
Speaker 2: And you're seeing it with the decline and season ticket sales.
Speaker 2: That's where fans really some of them are probably you know,
Speaker 2: thinking to themselves, Yah, they ain't get my money with
Speaker 2: this train wreck that Stoops has right now and no
Speaker 2: real positive signed to point to as far as it's
Speaker 2: going to be okay and they're going to get back
Speaker 2: to where they want to be. But some are just
Speaker 2: like probably not even like they're just checked out because
Speaker 2: the product has been bad and they don't believe that
Speaker 2: it's going to be much better this year. According to
Speaker 2: the Hair Leader, through May twelfth, Kentucky sold more than
Speaker 2: twenty one thousand season ticket packages, but it's twenty five
Speaker 2: thousand viewer tickets sold than what they're used to. I mean,
Speaker 2: the forty thousand is I guess the maximum. And they've
Speaker 2: sold out season tickets last two years. Now they're down substantially,
Speaker 2: And again that's not a real surprise because I mean,
Speaker 2: let's consider the big drop they had last year, and
Speaker 2: I think fans are real real with themselves more often
Speaker 2: than maybe we realize because I don't think you know,
Speaker 2: many Kentucky fans would would tell you that they certainly
Speaker 2: believe that they're going to be better than they were
Speaker 2: a year ago. Like maybe they are better, but like
Speaker 2: the schedule is really tough, and I mean, I think
Speaker 2: if you're telling yourself that you have better personnel and
Speaker 2: you're going to be in a better place because you know,
Speaker 2: they made some massive roster update, I mean, maybe you'll
Speaker 2: end up being right, but I don't really know what
Speaker 2: evidence that you would have that could support that. So
Speaker 2: real opposite sides here, and the win total is another
Speaker 2: indicator of that. Louisville wind total set it eight and
Speaker 2: a half, which I mean a lot of that does
Speaker 2: have to do with the schedule. Kentucky's win total set
Speaker 2: it four and a half. A lot of that does
Speaker 2: have to also do with their schedule because it's really challenging. Obviously,
Speaker 2: the ACC schedule is not going to be as challenging
Speaker 2: as an SEC schedule. We all know that, but like
Speaker 2: you can't use that at this point, like, yeah, we're
Speaker 2: basically the same.
Speaker 3: It's just you know, we play in the SEC. No
Speaker 3: you're not.
Speaker 2: I mean that was pretty evident. Last year, and I
Speaker 2: do think that Kentucky would have a different win total
Speaker 2: and they would probably have a different record this upcoming
Speaker 2: season if they played in the ACC rather than the SEC.
Speaker 2: But if that's like, if that's the last thing you
Speaker 2: can cling to as far as not acknowledging, you know,
Speaker 2: kind of the mess that Stoops has created. I mean,
Speaker 2: God bless you. And look, he may end up making
Speaker 2: a big step forward because you know, crazier things have happened,
Speaker 2: I suppose, but it just seems like A and M
Speaker 2: pulling the plug at the last minute and not offering
Speaker 2: him the job. I mean, I think last year is
Speaker 2: almost as if he showed up for another season but
Speaker 2: really had not, hadn't planned on being there, and maybe
Speaker 2: really wasn't really quite there, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: But again, he'll have the opportunity to prove everybody wrong,
Speaker 2: and I think he's probably earned that.
Speaker 3: I mean, last year is the one real like outlier.
Speaker 2: But I feel like best case scenario for him would
Speaker 2: have been to really be out in front, letting fans know, hey,
Speaker 2: I understand the frustration. We did set a standard fell
Speaker 2: below that it's unacceptable. We're gonna get better. We're gonna
Speaker 2: get it done. We're going to work tirelessly to get
Speaker 2: this thing turned around. I mean that may not do
Speaker 2: a whole lot because it's just words, but you know,
Speaker 2: you might have been able to sell a few more
Speaker 2: season tickets, so we shall see. Football season will be
Speaker 2: here before you know it. And that has me excited,
Speaker 2: all right. We also let you hear some Pat Kelsey sound.
Speaker 2: He is at the ACC Spring meetings and he was
Speaker 2: on with Luke Hancock and Mark Packer of the ACC Network.
Speaker 2: Did a little twelve thirteen minute interview. We played a
Speaker 2: little snippet of it earlier. We'll play another coming up
Speaker 2: here before too long. And anytime we get a chance
Speaker 2: to hear Pat Kelsey talk about, you know, the program,
Speaker 2: I mean he's pretty good at that, right, pretty good
Speaker 2: at talking, and then we learned this past year he's
Speaker 2: also pretty good at winning too, So we'll let you guys,
Speaker 2: here's some more of that before we get out of here.
Speaker 3: We also talked a little bit about.
Speaker 2: The the college football Playoff, and we didn't really get
Speaker 2: into it. And that's kind of what I want to
Speaker 2: do right now because it's not a surprise probably to
Speaker 2: anybody to hear that there is as Ross Dellinger of
Speaker 2: Yahoo Sports reports that the future of the college football
Speaker 2: postseason is growing messy. The right up here that he
Speaker 2: has and he's done a great job of following all
Speaker 2: this potential changes to the college football playoffs. He's somebody
Speaker 2: that I don't really know if I would say he's
Speaker 2: like a big established name, like you know, the Brett McMurphy's.
Speaker 3: Or even like the hell's his name? I can't think
Speaker 3: of his name very he was just a Derby Herb
Speaker 3: Street Herbie.
Speaker 2: Like he's like those are guys that you know that,
Speaker 2: like you know visibly and just the name, like a
Speaker 2: lot of people know who they are. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: how many people know who Ross Ellinger is. But he
Speaker 2: is really really good. I encourage you follow him.
Speaker 3: He has.
Speaker 2: He's come on the show a couple of times, but
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like he's gotten too big for
Speaker 2: us now. But he's done a great job of covering
Speaker 2: a lot of this. And he claims that the discord
Speaker 2: lingers over the proposed sixteen team playoff granting the Big
Speaker 2: Ten twice as many automatic bids as the Big twelve
Speaker 2: in the ACC and I'm happy to hear this, because
Speaker 2: if you're you know, I don't really even know what
Speaker 2: power or control anybody has because again, who's in charge.
Speaker 2: You've got, you know, representatives from each league, right, the commissioners,
Speaker 2: Phillips from the ACC, Sankey from the SEC.
Speaker 3: I don't. I can. I can visualize that.
Speaker 4: I can.
Speaker 2: I can see the guy's face from the Big Twelve
Speaker 2: of your mac Brett, Yourmack of the Big Twelve, And
Speaker 2: I don't even know who the commission of the Big
Speaker 2: Ten is, to be honest with you, but like they're
Speaker 2: all supposed to specifically be looking out for the best
Speaker 2: interest of their league and not worrying about anybody else
Speaker 2: because that's their job. There needs to be somebody over
Speaker 2: top of the entire thing that is looking out for
Speaker 2: everyone's best interest. And there's not a conflict of interest.
Speaker 2: There's not you know, some favoritism going on. So I
Speaker 2: won't be surprised if we end up with exactly that
Speaker 2: a sixteen team playoff, that half of it is represented
Speaker 2: automatically by the Big Ten in the SEC and then
Speaker 2: the three at large spots. I mean, they'll probably go
Speaker 2: to an SEC school, at least one or two of them, right,
Speaker 2: Because that's just how it's gonna work out. And this
Speaker 2: is not a conversation about is the SEC the best? Yes,
Speaker 2: but you can't like locking in a postseason format that
Speaker 2: quite literally is gift is Positioning teams based off of
Speaker 2: what a conference has done in the past is idiotic
Speaker 2: and insane, and I don't know why more people don't see.
Speaker 3: It that way.
Speaker 2: I hate to get so worked up, but before any
Speaker 2: games are played in any season, you're gonna go ahead
Speaker 2: and say that this league in that league, and this
Speaker 2: league gets specific amount of spots guaranteed, Like there.
Speaker 3: Shouldn't be any guarantee. I don't think.
Speaker 2: I mean, if there is a guarantee, it should be
Speaker 2: based off of the G five because they would get
Speaker 2: left out about it, and I do think they at
Speaker 2: least needs to be some representation from them. But even
Speaker 2: that sets the president though of like we're gonna go
Speaker 2: ahead and automatically say that. But again, the G five
Speaker 2: is a whole level of football, Like it's not just
Speaker 2: one com mean the scenario, like the scenario where you
Speaker 2: would feel like there's not any team from the non
Speaker 2: Power four and Notre Dame, not a one from the
Speaker 2: outside group that wouldn't be worthy of one of the
Speaker 2: sixteen spots. Like again, you may have a down year
Speaker 2: in all G five as the rich get richer continuously
Speaker 2: with the portal and nil, but there'll be one team
Speaker 2: that you feel like, Okay, yeah, they you know, let's
Speaker 2: give them a chance to at least see what they
Speaker 2: can do. I mean last year it was Boise State, right,
Speaker 2: so you know, maybe Boise maybe I don't know, maybe
Speaker 2: a Memphis. Who else is kind of in that, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe app State just because And I only bring them
Speaker 2: up because they've typically been pretty good for for a
Speaker 2: G five program. So this is a little This is
Speaker 2: another little blurb from the ride up from Ross Dellinger,
Speaker 2: and he's talking about highlighting the contentious proposal for the playoff,
Speaker 2: which will start in twenty twenty six, with the Big
Speaker 2: ten in the SEC would each get four automatic qualifiers,
Speaker 2: the Big twelve and the ACC would only get two.
Speaker 3: And then it.
Speaker 2: Also says here in his article that political pressure is mounting,
Speaker 2: with the Pennsylvania Congressman publicly criticizing the SEC and the
Speaker 2: Big Ten for rigging the CFP, reflecting broader concerns about
Speaker 2: power imbalances in college football as the Big Ten and
Speaker 2: SEC leverage their dominance post.
Speaker 3: Pac twelve collapse. So look, if you truly are.
Speaker 2: The best two leagues, which I think you clearly are,
Speaker 2: why do you need the guarantee? Aren't you going to
Speaker 2: prove it? Like you're basically claiming that you are automatically
Speaker 2: guaranteed four because you've been great forever. Well, if you
Speaker 2: don't see that changing, why don't you continue to be
Speaker 2: great and just get those spots without automatic guarantees?
Speaker 3: Right, I don't think it's that.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's and again, it's not even realistic
Speaker 2: in any way to expect there not to be some
Speaker 2: major representation from the SEC and the Big Ten. But
Speaker 2: just to tell us that before a single team plays
Speaker 2: a game, it's absolutely tiptoeing a line, maybe crossing it
Speaker 2: as far as this being a popularity contest more than anything.
Speaker 2: When you start hearing about people throwing out viewership as
Speaker 2: part of the criteria for getting in, get the hell
Speaker 2: out of here with that, I mean, that is insanity
Speaker 2: and I don't know why it's not. Again, we could
Speaker 2: end up probably getting the same amount of teams from
Speaker 2: each conference, could be the same representation from each conference.
Speaker 2: Even if they don't give autobids. So again that's not
Speaker 2: what this is about, but just going ahead and saying,
Speaker 2: regardless of what happens, like let's say the SEC falls apart,
Speaker 2: it won't, but let's just live in a world.
Speaker 3: Where it did.
Speaker 2: They get four automatic spots. I mean, maybe the Big
Speaker 2: ten starts eating their lunch, because, by the way, the
Speaker 2: Big ten has a lot of potential too to be
Speaker 2: a bigger I mean, because again, nobody would argue that
Speaker 2: you're not dominant when it comes to history, alumni, base value,
Speaker 2: when it comes to like, you know, the amount of
Speaker 2: people who watch your games, but that should never in
Speaker 2: any way be a factor in you getting a chance
Speaker 2: to play in the college football postseason. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: it's crazy, and I'll move on because if not, I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna keep I'm gonna keep you apping about it,
Speaker 2: and I don't think you guys want to hear that anymore.
Speaker 2: But not a surprise, as Rosstellinger reports that there's already
Speaker 2: some growing, growing concerns that this is gonna get messy
Speaker 2: and they're not gonna be able to come to an
Speaker 2: agreement because again, you're foolish if you're making an agreement
Speaker 2: that is not looking out for your own league. They
Speaker 2: I don't know what leverage anybody in the or in
Speaker 2: the ACC or the Big twelve has, But like if
Speaker 2: you're Jim Billips and you're like, yeah, oh, thanks for
Speaker 2: giving us two spots. Oh we're so we're so grateful,
Speaker 2: Like you're not doing your job. You don't have to
Speaker 2: agree to this now. Again, if you don't agree, what happens.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but there should be somebody over top
Speaker 2: that just says, look, go earn it, and look, the
Speaker 2: SEC and the Big ten have always gotten the benefit
Speaker 2: of the doubt at times when they didn't deserve it.
Speaker 3: So why do you need these four guaranteed spots? Again?
Speaker 2: I promised this time I'll stop yapping, all right, real
Speaker 2: quick before we let you hear Pat Kelsey. When it
Speaker 2: comes to the playoffs, we talked just a moment ago
Speaker 2: about the great finish last night between the Thunder and
Speaker 2: the Nuggets, and that series has been phenomenal and I'm
Speaker 2: going to continue to watch it.
Speaker 3: I hope we get seven. I really do.
Speaker 2: But just a couple of things to add when it
Speaker 2: comes to last night's win from my Pacers, which ended
Speaker 2: the series and ended the season for Donovan.
Speaker 3: Mitchell and the Calves. The Calves are now.
Speaker 2: The first team in MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL history to
Speaker 2: start a season with a fifteen plus game unbeaten streak
Speaker 2: but then be eliminated from the playoffs prior to the
Speaker 2: championship round that year. I feel like that's from OPTA stats.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's picking on the Calves, Like that's
Speaker 2: a very to me cherry pig stat to let you
Speaker 2: know that they were really good but didn't get it
Speaker 2: done in the postseason. Also, so this is just a
Speaker 2: bad look for the Pacers, I guess more than a
Speaker 2: bad look for the Calves, but I guess more than anything,
Speaker 2: it's probably a really good look for uh, for for
Speaker 2: my for my for my Pacers. But Cleveland against the
Speaker 2: against the NBA at home other than Indianapolis. So when
Speaker 2: Cleveland's at home playing anybody in the league outside of Indiana,
Speaker 2: thirty six and five Cleveland against the Pacers at home
Speaker 2: this year, oh and five. I mean Indy just had
Speaker 2: their number really all year. And also this was uh
Speaker 2: Max Strus is a guy who, believe it or not,
Speaker 2: played it to Paul and has somehow worked that into
Speaker 2: an opportunity in the NBA, where he's played for a
Speaker 2: couple of different teams. I think he played for the
Speaker 2: Heat for a while and now he's with the Calves,
Speaker 2: and uh, this story, this was, this was this, this
Speaker 2: is I feel like I'm picking on this guy, but
Speaker 2: this is actually funny.
Speaker 5: Eight group text message was sent out to every single
Speaker 5: Cavalier player from Max Strus. Shrews said simply, if you
Speaker 5: don't believe, then don't show up for work. Shrew said
Speaker 5: this morning that he doesn't think this group is done.
Speaker 2: So that's a guy trying to rally his team, not
Speaker 2: sure he's in a position where he should be the
Speaker 2: guy sending out a group text and firing the team up.
Speaker 2: I would imagine that would probably be a role for
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell, not Max Streuce, but Max Drews. What did
Speaker 2: he do after sending out that fiery message if you
Speaker 2: don't believe, don't show up for work. Max showed up
Speaker 2: for work and didn't do any work. He went zero
Speaker 2: for nine, didn't score a point as the Cavs were eliminated.
Speaker 2: That's that's a tough l to hold for Max s Drews,
Speaker 2: but it happens.
Speaker 3: It happens. I real quick. We only have a few
Speaker 3: minutes left.
Speaker 2: But here's a little more from the conversation Pat Kelsey
Speaker 2: had with Mark Packer and Luke Hancock earlier today at
Speaker 2: the ACC Spring meetings.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, here you are at eighteen and two,
Speaker 6: but that fan and you've played it for that crowd. Now,
Speaker 6: Louisville basketball, when it's rocking, when it's kind of its
Speaker 6: a game, they're not going to take a back seat
Speaker 6: to anybody in the country.
Speaker 4: Pack You're right, I mean, it's one of the most
Speaker 4: powerful special story brands in all of collegiate basketball. You
Speaker 4: played for you'll go down as maybe the greatest of
Speaker 4: all time. And coach Patino, which you have, Danny Crumb
Speaker 4: or you kidding me. There's every once in while. It
Speaker 4: probably happens once a month, and I did it today.
Speaker 4: I'll send Josh Herd a text and I'll say, you know,
Speaker 4: just thank you, you know, just just having that sense
Speaker 4: of gratitude when I say I'm the head coach at
Speaker 4: the University of Louisville. It's still kind of crazy. Sometimes
Speaker 4: they have the type of season we had, you feel
Speaker 4: like you're in in your keep a little bit. But
Speaker 4: you know, you listen really close late at night, you
Speaker 4: can already hear that ball starting to bounce in the
Speaker 4: Young Center.
Speaker 6: So walk walked through the gym when it's empty, and
Speaker 6: you just kind of think about the ghost.
Speaker 4: If you were one hundred percent Yeah.
Speaker 6: Not to interrupt you, but I remember interviewing Bill self
Speaker 6: a long time ago. I was up with serious XM,
Speaker 6: and I said, you ever just walking you know, rock
Speaker 6: Chalk Jay Hawky just sit there and he goes pack.
Speaker 6: I hear the ghost, I see. You know, if you
Speaker 6: go to some of the great places, it doesn't have
Speaker 6: to be just hoop to be football, basketball, you pick.
Speaker 6: You could sit there in an empty stadium and you're like,
Speaker 6: you can hear the rules, you can remember the places.
Speaker 6: And to me, Louisville basketball kind of falls into that category.
Speaker 4: I do it all the time. I'm a I'm an
Speaker 4: early guy, especially during the season. Am I going to
Speaker 4: sleep crazy early?
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't require a lot of sleep.
Speaker 4: But now I'll get up four four thirty in the morning,
Speaker 4: and I'll you know, especially during the season we're practicing
Speaker 4: at them, I'll go down to them Center and the
Speaker 4: security's always there. And I always ask him to turn
Speaker 4: the lights on when I walk in. Literally every single day,
Speaker 4: I'll walk in there and sit in one of the
Speaker 4: seats and just look around and go get the work.
Speaker 3: So it's cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean does he does he know? He
Speaker 2: makes us fall in love with him all over again,
Speaker 2: Austin anytime he talks up the program like we needed
Speaker 2: it majorly in a major way, I should say, given
Speaker 2: the previous regime.
Speaker 3: But like, you know, put it this way, it's just work.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's probably a lot of people will be like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's just what he's supposed to say.
Speaker 3: He's he's he's great with words.
Speaker 2: He's you know, he's being the politician saying what a
Speaker 2: coach should say this and that, and maybe that's true.
Speaker 2: But I do know we as a fan base, because
Speaker 2: of how much we care about louis Basket.
Speaker 3: Like it it.
Speaker 2: It hits every time with us, right when he tells
Speaker 2: us what he says. I sometimes just text Josh Hurt
Speaker 2: and thank him because I'm the coach at Louisville. Like again,
Speaker 2: you got to win to keep this job.
Speaker 3: We all know that.
Speaker 2: But when you win and you say things like that,
Speaker 2: I mean That's why this guy is a fan favorite,
Speaker 2: to say the least. That's our guy, Austin. That's our
Speaker 2: coach right there, that's our that's our ball coach.
Speaker 7: It's so refreshing and such a breath of fresh air
Speaker 7: that every time you see him that he's he does
Speaker 7: the things that he do. It might have I don't
Speaker 7: know how it came off other casuals to start the season,
Speaker 7: but like I mean, I knew I was sold after
Speaker 7: his press conference show when he was getting everybody hyped
Speaker 7: up for that Tennessee game. There is that video of him,
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, going all around campus and getting everybody hyped up.
Speaker 7: Like I mean, I don't think that there's a lot
Speaker 7: of other coaches that's doing that. And he seems very
Speaker 7: happy to and very humble that he has a spotlight
Speaker 7: that he has and he knows the job, he knows
Speaker 7: the gravity of everything, and I find it refreshing that
Speaker 7: he kind of uh said something about, well, the situation
Speaker 7: that we came into, there was only only one way
Speaker 7: to go up, the only one way to go from here,
Speaker 7: and that was up. And that was something that we
Speaker 7: never got from the last ersho.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, it was all you know, blaming everybody.
Speaker 2: I mean, like that's that's what's crazy, is that we
Speaker 2: had a coach who had no excuse to be as
Speaker 2: terrible as he was, and all he did throughout the
Speaker 2: entire time was take no accountability and blame others, point fingers,
Speaker 2: and you know, this guy had an opportunity to to
Speaker 2: really at times emphasize, you know, we need to not
Speaker 2: try to be so succes. I mean, who would say that,
Speaker 2: but actually I know who would. Kenny Payne would like,
Speaker 2: so it is refreshing. You're right to have such a
Speaker 2: change of pace as far as what and what's great
Speaker 2: is that I don't think it's just lip service to
Speaker 2: make sure and do the opposite of what the guy
Speaker 2: did who got canned out of here pretty early. It's
Speaker 2: I think it's genuine, you know what I mean, And
Speaker 2: like the things he says, and it's just words. You
Speaker 2: gotta win, but you can tell when watching and another
Speaker 2: sounds corny, but like I think he appreciates being the
Speaker 2: coach here and his players play with that that same energy,
Speaker 2: same attitude, and that's I mean, that's what you want.
Speaker 2: We used to just expect that and probably take it
Speaker 2: for granted.
Speaker 3: Not anymore.
Speaker 2: I think we'll appreciate it more than we ever have,
Speaker 2: just because you know, the roller coaster that it's been.
Speaker 3: But we're out of time. We're gonna hand it off
Speaker 3: to Nick Curran as
Speaker 2: The Little Bats are set for a Wednesday night game
Speaker 2: right here on Sports Talk seven ninety
