I think you've missed the show because 23 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.680 you were sick. Like maybe I think once, yeah, I 24 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.599 was gonna I remember there being one day or one time, 25 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:32.519 maybe it was more than one day, but like it 26 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.959 rarely happens, and you know, it's happened to me, you know, 27 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:38.680 probably a lot more than that, be honest with you. 28 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.120 But I think my mind's playing tricks on me because 29 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.400 I said this yesterday to John before the show started, 30 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.159 that I got we got some we got some sickness 31 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.719 within our home, the Coffee headquarters. Uh, my wife has 32 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.840 My wife has strep throat and she's home. She's I mean, 33 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.879 I hope she's okay. I mean she seems like she's 34 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.760 just you know, in an off full, awful state of mind. 35 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.680 I mean, she's just sleeping, she's she's coughing. She says 36 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.920 she's she get tested positive for striped throat. And I'm, 37 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:09.360 you know, being the worried husband, I'm like, you need 38 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.120 to go get looked at for something else because this 39 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.520 seems like you can't stop coughing, you can barely move. 40 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.840 And she's usually I mean, she rarely gets sick, but 41 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.159 she's usually you know, tougher than me when it comes 42 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.680 to illnesses. I feel like, but my mind's playing tricks 43 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.840 on me, John, because I don't feel ill. In fact, 44 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:27.680 I had a good morning. I went out and got 45 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.319 a good run in, and I'm but anytime I'm in 46 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.639 the home, and you know, even though she's kind of, 47 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.800 you know, off to herself in a bedroom, sleeping, you know, 48 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:37.919 trying to stay away from us as best she can. 49 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.360 I mean, it's inevitable when you live with somebody, like 50 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.280 if they're unless you want to send them to a 51 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.719 hotel for like a few days, Like it's gonna be 52 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.120 almost impossible to not be around something. I mean, you know, 53 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.800 she's got two young kids that don't care that she's sick. 54 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.319 They want to hug mommy, you know what i mean. 55 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.159 Like it's just it's it's inevitable that, like there's a 56 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.319 chance one of us, maybe all of us, end up 57 00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.759 getting what she has, and we're trying our best not 58 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.400 to have that happen. But again, my mind is playing 59 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:07.240 tricks on me because I'm starting to feel like I'm achy, 60 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:09.879 I've got the chills. I mean, you I went and 61 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.479 got a hoodie before the show today. 62 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:13.800 Yeah, and today is one of the warmer days of 63 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:14.719 the week that we've had. 64 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.080 I mean, I don't know, it's probably just my mind 65 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.159 and I don't have a great immune system, so therefore, 66 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.439 like if I'm around somebody that's sick, I'm likely going 67 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.919 to get sick. And depending on what you know sickness, 68 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.319 it is like you know, the one she has is 69 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:30.960 strip and if I was to get that again, it 70 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.240 could cost some issues for me because of some other 71 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.960 conditions that I have. So I'm going to let this 72 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.120 show just be a distraction because I've been worried about 73 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.759 it for the last twenty four hours. Like I don't 74 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.120 want to get sick, and I don't want to end up, 75 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.199 you know, like she is. So I hope you know, 76 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.439 I know she's not listening. I hope she gets well soon, 77 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.759 and you know, we can avoid anybody else in the 78 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:50.599 house getting sick. 79 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.800 Do you feel like you're a hypochondriac. I don't know 80 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:55.719 if we've had this conversation beow, but I feel like 81 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:56.360 I've asked you that. 82 00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:57.400 No, not at all. 83 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.400 I usually am more on the invincible side that like, 84 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.439 nothing's going to happen to me, nothing, like you know, 85 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.719 I mean, I'm a worrier at you know, in general, 86 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.400 like I am a paranoid person. I let my mind 87 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:12.680 get the best of me a lot as far as 88 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.680 worrying about things. But when it comes to health and whatnot, 89 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.680 it usually is never a thing for me. But this particular, 90 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.279 I mean, because of the other conditions that I have, 91 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.639 I just know what I'm in for if I get strapped, bro, 92 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.319 as we discussed yesterday, like me and you not on 93 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.519 the air, but like it'll be bad for me. And 94 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:30.519 that's what I'm worried about. 95 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:31.079 So now you know. 96 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.160 And I don't really have any symptoms, like I mean, 97 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.319 I mean other than kind of feeling like I got 98 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.720 the chills. You know, my nose is running, But I'm 99 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.839 just chalking that up to terrible allergies because you know, 100 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.680 we have terrible allergies in this area. Are you Are 101 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.600 you a hypochondriac because I would never I would never 102 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.079 know because you never get sick. 103 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:51.879 I think I'm along the same lines as you, as 104 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:53.920 I tend to worry that I'm going to get sick 105 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.360 quite often, but at the same time, when I actually 106 00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.279 do get sick, I tend to always commence myself that 107 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.199 whatever I have is not a big deal, and then 108 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:02.959 I'm just gonna shake it off, kind of what I 109 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.560 did last year the day that I ended up taking 110 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.680 a sick day. I woke up that morning and said, 111 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.800 you know what, I think I'll feel better in a 112 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.000 couple of hours and end up getting worse than a 113 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:12.839 couple of hours, which usually doesn't happen to me. 114 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:14.279 It's called growth, John. 115 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.720 Once you feel something coming along, you know, just say, look, 116 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.560 I gotta go see the doc because it may be 117 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.319 it is. There's a chance it might just you know, 118 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.000 go away on its own, or I might need to 119 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:24.600 get it looked at. 120 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:25.319 Yeah. 121 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.600 So I mean hopefully neither of us get sick anytime soon. 122 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.160 But yeah, I learned the hard way when I was 123 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:37.439 probably I guess about thirty thirty one or I started 124 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.399 to have some health issues and nothing crazy, nothing serious. 125 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.199 But you know, I just assume we'll head Snowpeaki, it'll go, 126 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.600 it'll work itself out, like everything is going to be fine. 127 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.160 I don't need to do this, do that, get lab 128 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:54.040 work done. You know, I just assumed, well, it'll it'll 129 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.040 run its course and I'll be fine. And then I realized, 130 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:57.839 oh no, you can't do that nick, You're gonna have 131 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.720 to be medicated for these things the rest of your 132 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.000 life and you just need to deal with it. And 133 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.040 if you don't stay up to date on my meds 134 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.240 and getting check ups and all that stuff that you 135 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.759 know comes with being an adult, I guess an adult 136 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.240 with some health issues, like, then it's gonna be even worse. 137 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:17.839 So one time I just stopped taking my medicine just 138 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.439 for no real reason, just being a dumb ass, honestly, 139 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.759 and it led to me having like about a six 140 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.680 week not scare, but like I wasn't in a good 141 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.360 place for a variety of reasons, and it was just 142 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:33.639 me being a dumb ass like just yeah, yeah, I'm 143 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.560 not gonna take it today, I won't take it tomorrow. 144 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.120 And like it was so stupid of me and in 145 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.240 my own fault, but also selfish to me because like 146 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.800 it was around the holidays, and I just remember being 147 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.360 very not well thinking to myself like all right, don't 148 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.720 be such an idiot like that that that was very avoidable, 149 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.879 and you you know, you couldn't let your stupidity. 150 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.240 That does suck to around. 151 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.319 So that's what that's what really made it like terrible, 152 00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:57.879 is like I was miserable at a time I didn't 153 00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.399 want to be miserable, and the only person I had 154 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.040 to blame was my So anyways, I'm I'm gonna believe 155 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.160 in the power of positivity and this show could cure 156 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.399 whatever illness has come in my way, and hopefully when 157 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.439 I leave here today, I feel like I'm a okay. 158 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.720 I keep hearing everybody has COVID, but then again, like, 159 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.000 are the symptoms of that now the same thing as 160 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.040 it was a few years ago? 161 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:19.959 Like, I have no idea. 162 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:22.360 I don't know anybody currently that has COVID, But again, 163 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.240 my circle of people is probably a lot different than your. 164 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.959 Yeah, Like I mean, it's apparently going around at schools 165 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.759 and stuff.

Gosh, can you believe that was almost 175 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:57.279 five years ago. 176 00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:58.920 Yeah, like this this. 177 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.319 March, I guess will be I mean, heck, it was 178 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.839 the world shut down in March. But it really started 179 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:09.000 to become like a big deal globally, like in January. 180 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.959 I remember when I went to Boston in January of 181 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.120 that year, twenty twenty for the Louisville Boston College basketball game. 182 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.839 I remember when we got back hearing that, like the 183 00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:21.439 airport I was just in had like the fifth case 184 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.279 that was on record in the United States, and I'm like, 185 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.720 oh my god, like this is this is getting crazy. 186 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:28.399 And then she, I mean god, she feels like that 187 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.959 was two bad years. Oh you were all gonna die? Yeah, 188 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.360 oh my god. Like I remember thinking like if somebody 189 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.440 that I, you know, love, gets it, like I'm probably 190 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.799 never gonna see them again, because they're gonna be dead soon, 191 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.440 and I don't want to be I can't be near 192 00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:44.240 them because then I'll get it and die like whenever 193 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.519 we don't. Like, the fear of the unknown was crazy, 194 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.240 and it is even more crazy thinking it is even 195 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.759 more crazy now looking back many years later. How you know, Well, Anyways, 196 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.440 I'll say those thoughts for a different day. Let's get 197 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.279 the party started, shall we, Because it's uh, it's another 198 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.960 week where we have an opponent that I can't lie 199 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:02.879 to you and say that I care a whole lot about. 200 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:04.720 I think we're going to be in for a very 201 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.840 similar game on Saturday as we were this past Saturday 202 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.600 against Austin p SO Jacksonville State. The most interesting thing 203 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.519 I can tell you about them is what you probably 204 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.080 already know, and that. 205 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.559 Is the fact that they are coached about Rich Rodriguez. 206 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.720 Other than that, I don't have a whole lot that 207 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:22.799 I can share with you that I think you'd be 208 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.519 interested in it all. They're coming off of a disappointing 209 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.360 season opening loss to Coastal Carolina. They at times have 210 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.720 been you know, viewed as a team that could potentially, 211 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.039 you know, be the ace I mean, rich Rodriguez being there. 212 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:42.000 Their success at the FCS level, I guess has made 213 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.600 them somewhat of an attractive a SUN program as far 214 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.120 as one that could really succeed, you know, in that level. 215 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.480 But they did not get off to a good start 216 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.600 on Saturday, whenever I guess, actually they might have played 217 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:56.720 last Thursday. Now that I think about it, maybe I'm 218 00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.240 wrong there, but either way, they're owing one and they 219 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:04.840 opened up as I believe, twenty one point underdogs to Louisville. 220 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:06.519 It's now at twenty eight and a half, so the 221 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:10.600 Cards are favored by twenty eight and a half. And 222 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:12.480 once we get past that game, then we have a 223 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.440 real game to focus on. And when I say a 224 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:16.960 real game, I mean, you know, it's a conference game 225 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.720 against a ranked opponent, so that you know, that's a 226 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.200 big difference than what we've had the last you know, 227 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.440 last week in this week. But hey, I'm not gonna 228 00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:27.600 I'm gonna try not to make it sound like I'm complaining, 229 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:29.960 because you know, football seasons here, this is what I've wanted. 230 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.399 It's just, you know, I could go without these games. 231 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.759 I'd rather Louisville play anybody than not play at all. 232 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.600 But I'm just eager to see what this team looks 233 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.559 like when they get to a more legitimate opponent, which 234 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:45.440 again Georgia Tech should be that next Saturday. However, if 235 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.440 Georgia Tech loses to Syracuse this weekend, that would like 236 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.600 take all the value. 237 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:52.039 In that win away. 238 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.440 If Louisville is able to beat Georgia Tech next Saturday. 239 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:57.879 And again for those thinking like, well, we can't get 240 00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.159 ahead of ourselves, No we can't. As fans, we can 241 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.879 get ahead of ourselves. We don't need to worry about 242 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.039 Jacksonville State because you know they're not They shouldn't be 243 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.200 a real challenge. And if they are, we got bigger problems. 244 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.120 Speaking of big problems, I know U of L has 245 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.120 with UH. I don't know who they reach out to, 246 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.840 if that's if it's the TV executives, if it's just 247 00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:21.159 somebody that's with the ACC. But with Bourbon and beyond. 248 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:25.440 Next Saturday, I mean, it's all. I mean, it's Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 249 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:27.759 I believe, is it? They're actually Thursday too? I think, yes, 250 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.279 Thursday through sund Yeah, Thursday through Sunday. And obviously it's 251 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:34.960 a humongous music festival. The lineup for the entire event 252 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.480 is amazing. But that's Saturday. I believe is Zach Bryan, who, 253 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:39.200 of course I believe is still one of the most 254 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:42.200 popular musicians on the planet right now. There's gonna be 255 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.799 so many people in Louisville for that event, and there's 256 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.559 gonna be so many people there on Saturday, which is 257 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:53.679 what you know, how far away is Cardinal Stadium from 258 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:57.080 that field where they have these shows. I mean it's 259 00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:58.840 not far at all, right, it's right, I mean it's 260 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.519 I mean, I want to say it's like within a mile, 261 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:03.960 but it's probably closer than that. 262 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.879 So it is on kind of the other side of 263 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.360 the Expo Center, I guess, adjacent from Kentucky Kingdom. 264 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.840 If you're thinking, yeah, we like so yeah, so you know, 265 00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.480 the Fairgrounds is close enough to Cardinal Stadium where like 266 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:19.080 people can walk. I mean, I don't know why you 267 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.639 would you would do that, but like it's not crazy 268 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:25.120 to walk from those two events, to be honest with you, 269 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:26.360 I mean it is kind of crazy. I don't know 270 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:27.799 why you would want to do that, but like you 271 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.799 could and it wouldn't be the hardest walk you've ever had. 272 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.279 But there's going to be so. 273 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:37.080 Many people all weekend in that general area, and then 274 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:40.200 you're going to try to, you know, get people there 275 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.559 for a four to five hour window for a football game, 276 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.440 and it's just gonna be I mean, they've requested to 277 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.440 have a noon game that way, they could, you know, 278 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.039 get that out of the way. I would imagine the 279 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:53.679 show probably I don't know what time does it start. 280 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:55.120 I feel like it's an all day thing. At these 281 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.399 music places, the early acts usually performing around noon, as 282 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.879 you just mentioned for the Louisville game. You know, most 283 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.279 people who are there for the big acts, those usually 284 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:04.759 don't happen till seven or eight o'clock. 285 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:06.399 Yeah, at the earliest. 286 00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:11.799 I would imagine that if this thing gets a noon kickoff, 287 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:17.679 that's probably best case scenario. But then again, I could 288 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:21.120 see it being an issue with people leaving, you know, 289 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.440 and I guess if people are on their way out 290 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:27.679 of Cardinal Stadium, whereas there's a lot of people on 291 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:29.799 their way to the festival, like maybe that would be 292 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.879 an ideal situation. But the biggest issue that I think 293 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:35.399 you'd run into is that if everybody's like trying to 294 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.440 get to ellen n Cardinal Stadium and the music festival 295 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.039 at like the exact same time, And I think that 296 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:42.919 would probably mean if that would probably be if you 297 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:44.639 had like a four o'clock kick, like a three thirty 298 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.399 kick like that, to me, I think would be the disastrous. 299 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.559 Yeah, time to do it, So we'll see. 300 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.080 I mean, I know U of L has requested it again, 301 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.000 not even sure who they request that through. It's got 302 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.000 to be somebody through the conference. But you know, the 303 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.919 people who are in charge of the TV slots and whatnot, 304 00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.519 they don't care about our traffic. I mean, they don't 305 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.039 care at all. So hopefully, you know, we just get 306 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.000 lucky and get a nooner. But you know, if they 307 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.399 get a night game, which I guess is probably still 308 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.320 on the table like that, I think that could also 309 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:12.159 be problematic. 310 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:13.000 But what I'm I. 311 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:15.879 Shouldn't say worried about because people are gonna do what 312 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.320 they're gonna do. But I know many Louisville fans that 313 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.879 are hoping that it's a neon game because if if forced, 314 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.559 they're gonna go to the concert and not go to 315 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:27.840 the game, which you know, do you know, people work 316 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.440 hard for their hard earned money. Therefore they can spend whatever, 317 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:32.720 spend it on whatever they want. I know, we only 318 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:35.639 get you know, six Louisville home games on average a season, 319 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.480 six or seven I guess, depending upon the season, which 320 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.000 season it is. But like this is a big time. 321 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:42.960 I mean, it's a big concert and if you paid 322 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.000 money for tickets, then you've probably paid a lot more 323 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:47.879 money than you pay for a football ticket, so you know, 324 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.279 I I don't. I mean, I hope we don't end 325 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.200 up in that situation. But you also got to wonder 326 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.639 if you're gonna lose some of your attendance to to 327 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:57.279 the festival. I mean, you probably will in general, but 328 00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.440 if they're if they're like, you know, roughly around the 329 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:03.080 same time, and you know you will. So anyways, that 330 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.080 tells you how much I'm really, you know, anticipating this 331 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.639 Jacksonville State game on Saturday. I just spent the last 332 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:14.200 five minutes talking about potential traffic nightmares and logistical issues 333 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:16.000 about a game next week or two. 334 00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:16.440 Weeks from now. 335 00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:19.279 Example, what was a bye week next week? And Bourbon 336 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:20.960 and beyond is the following week? 337 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.879 Okay, good good, Yeah that makes more. 338 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.679 Yeah, but it's still it's still it remains the same. 339 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:29.200 But yes, we do have a week off. Yeah, man, 340 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:30.440 I hate that. It's weird. 341 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:32.840 So that obviously you were aware of the double bye 342 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.879 weeks in this year of college football. 343 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.080 Yeah, I just I gotta be honest with you, I 344 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.759 knew they. I just to have these two opponents then 345 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:42.559 a bye week, like it kind of sucks. 346 00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:43.799 It does kind of suck. 347 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.279 I mean because because I'm I'm just eager to see 348 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:51.480 this team against you know, some legitimate competition. And look, 349 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:53.639 it'll be great once these two games are over because 350 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:57.159 there's nobody else on the schedule that is anything like 351 00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.840 what Jacksonville State in Austin p are. So again it 352 00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:00.960 is it's good to get it out of the way. 353 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:02.240 I mean, it would be a real kick to the 354 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:03.879 you know what if you played one of these teams 355 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:05.960 in like week seven or week eight or something like that, 356 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.000 So they'll get it out of the way, get one 357 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:09.879 of the bye weeks out of the way, and then 358 00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:13.080 you've got Then you've got Georgia Tech followed by Notre Dame, 359 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:18.039 which again, two big opportunities there. And I look, I 360 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.240 if Louisville ends up beating Georgia Tech next week or 361 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:22.840 I guess not next week whenever they play on the 362 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.440 twenty first, if Georgia Tech is still hovering around you 363 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.720 know the mid or you know, the the low twenties, 364 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.120 then Louisville beating them would probably knock them out of 365 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.840 the rankings. And then people would act as if well 366 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.840 that win really wasn't that impressive, but still, like I 367 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:39.720 just want to see you start collecting acc wins. And 368 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:41.159 I say that as if they've done something wrong. They 369 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:43.399 haven't played an ACC team yet. But look, we all 370 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.759 know the perception of the ACC, and it's out of 371 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.240 our I mean, it's out of everybody's control. People are 372 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:49.840 gonna say, they're gonna say about the AACC, so you 373 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.960 might as well if you're Louisville, you know, just look 374 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:54.679 at it as a chance to take advantage of a 375 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:56.320 league that is for the taking. I mean, I don't 376 00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:58.000 even know if that's the if that's the case or not, 377 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:00.519 but so far, these results that we've got in the 378 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.399 first you know, I guess two weeks if you consider 379 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:05.920 Week zero with Georgia Tech taking down Florida State, I mean, 380 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:06.960 who scares you in. 381 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.119 The ACC Florida State. 382 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:09.640 You don't even have to play them in the regular season, 383 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.279 and they put themselves in a position that they probably 384 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.480 are gonna have a really tough time getting to Charlotte. 385 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:21.480 So you know, Miami and I guess Clemson. I mean, yeah, 386 00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:22.880 Clemson is still a team you got to. I mean 387 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:25.200 I knew they were on the schedule, but if you 388 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:28.279 can get past Miami and Clemson or split those two 389 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:32.319 and then try, you know, avoid the head scratching loss 390 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.680 to teams you know you shouldn't lose to. I mean, 391 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:36.400 you're right there with a chance to play for the 392 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.200 a SEC Championship. And again they're one and oh they 393 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:43.960 got eleven more games to play. Yes, I'm totally getting 394 00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:47.680 ahead of myself here, But when you see the chaos, 395 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:50.759 if it's even accurate to call it chaos, I mean 396 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:53.720 Florida State starting zero to two, I guess that's chaos. 397 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.799 I mean it's it was unexpected. 398 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.839 And the reaction is chaos. The people wanted to eat 399 00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:59.440 poop out of the Red Solo Cup run. 400 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:01.680 Well, no, they didn't want to. They're not going to 401 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.440
