1
00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's nit coffee.

3
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:18.440
<v Speaker 2>All right? Better late than never? Here as we get.

4
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.199
<v Speaker 2>The third hour started today five to ten, not quite

5
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:26.839
<v Speaker 2>when we usually start the five o'clock hour, but two

6
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>hours of seemingly no issues with the quality of the

7
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 2>broadcast considering the connection we're using today. And then I

8
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I guess I got I got a little

9
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.159
<v Speaker 2>too comfortable. I didn't do anything, John didn't do anything.

10
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.079
<v Speaker 1>But I will take some responsibility though, just because we

11
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 1>were having obviously those weird issues during the last segment,

12
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>and I thought it would be a smart idea to

13
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>disconnect and reconnect, and that's where we had some problems.

14
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and to be fair, you know, we were having problems.

15
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 2>So a simple disconnect reconnect usually it helps it, you know,

16
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 2>it gets a squared away. But for some reason that

17
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 2>led to us not being able to get reconnected. So anyways,

18
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>can you I gotta know, because it'll be it'll consume

19
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 2>me if if I don't at least know. Are we

20
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:10.120
<v Speaker 2>back to where we've been the majority of the show

21
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:11.879
<v Speaker 2>or are we sounded like we sounded in the last segment.

22
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>No, we sound like the majority of the show. We're

23
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>back and we're in tip top shape.

24
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.719
<v Speaker 2>Good, good, well, I'm happy, happy to hear that. Even

25
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 2>and even if you're lying to me, which I don't

26
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:22.840
<v Speaker 2>think you are, I'm glad you said what you said,

27
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:24.879
<v Speaker 2>because if you told me we sounded awful, I would

28
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:26.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, it would just you know, it would, it

29
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 2>would consume me. So anyways, again it's coffee and company.

30
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.359
<v Speaker 2>We are few about Thorton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

31
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate you hanging out with us. Those first couple of

32
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 2>hours went about really, really quick, which I usually think

33
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>is a good thing. So if you are just not

34
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>joining us, we did talk about the schedule conversation among

35
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Louisville fans and Kentucky fans, and what I mean is

36
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.799
<v Speaker 2>the sprink of schedule because it's been I feel like

37
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>a talking point way more in the last six seven

38
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.640
<v Speaker 2>years than it ever was before for a variety of reasons.

39
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 2>One is that we don't we don't get a chance

40
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 2>to actually say on the field until the end of

41
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 2>the year. So whenever you have a tough time really

42
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 2>knowing who I mean, I think last year I know

43
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:10.039
<v Speaker 2>it looked like a fool at the end of the

44
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.120
<v Speaker 2>year when they lost to them, But like, objectively speaking,

45
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Louisville had a better season, and I feel like you

46
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 2>can you can say that they were a better team

47
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 2>based off results, but when they did play head to head,

48
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Louisville loss. So therefore Kentucky is not at all wrong

49
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.479
<v Speaker 2>and saying we were better than Louisville last year pains

50
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>me to know that. But like, you know, back to

51
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.520
<v Speaker 2>my original point, which is, whenever you can't settle it

52
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 2>until the end of the year and you want to

53
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 2>go back and forth with your rival, not even during

54
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 2>the season, but also off season in the summer like

55
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 2>we do around here, it's just well, you know, you

56
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.479
<v Speaker 2>ain't play nobody, And it's mostly Kentucky fans that say that,

57
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>and then Louisville fans get involved because you know, as

58
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>a fan, I feel like it's normal. It's natural to

59
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>have the instincts to like chirp back at the rival

60
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.680
<v Speaker 2>when they're claiming that you had ten wins acc championship appearance,

61
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.520
<v Speaker 2>but you know that didn't mean anything. You got stink,

62
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.960
<v Speaker 2>And I think you know, both things can be true.

63
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky plays a better schedule in conference every year than Louisville.

64
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Because of the conference affiliation, the SEC is a better

65
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.159
<v Speaker 2>league than the ACC. Anybody arguing differently is just wrong.

66
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.120
<v Speaker 2>But what it comes down to is does the does

67
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>the non conference balance it out enough? Like let me

68
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>give you an example. I think it was back in

69
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>two thousand, two thousand. What year was it where Kentucky

70
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>came back from in back? Yea it was. I think

71
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 2>it was Kentucky in twenty twenty two when Louisville and

72
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky played two years ago. I guess it was sadderfields

73
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 2>last year that Kentucky team. They underachieved in a major way.

74
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.759
<v Speaker 2>They were coming off of a ten win season. They

75
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 2>went three and five in the SEC, and I don't

76
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>think they beat a team with a winning record other

77
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>than Louisville. So with that, you know, going into that game,

78
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 2>despite Louisville playing in the ACC and Kentucky playing in

79
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>the SEC, because of just how like some teams are

80
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>so good and some teams are so bad that it's

81
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 2>going to fluctuate how your overall schedule is ranked. So

82
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>with all that said, Louisville lost the game. In fact,

83
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.879
<v Speaker 2>they lost twenty six thirteen and really wasn't that close, right,

84
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 2>And you know, in that season, Kentucky actually played a

85
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 2>weaker schedule, and Kentucky fans can't process that. They think

86
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>there's just no scenario. Louisville might as well be playing

87
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>a high school schedule. We play in the Almighty sec. Well,

88
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 2>you also played Miami, Ohio, Youngstown State, Northern Illinois, all

89
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 2>though three of those teams are terrible, and you played

90
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Florida and beat them. But that Florida team in twenty

91
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 2>twenty two, I'm pretty sure went on to have Yeah,

92
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 2>they were three and five. Like that win was big

93
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.120
<v Speaker 2>when you got it, it meant nothing in the grand

94
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 2>scheme of things. And at the end of the year,

95
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 2>when you play Louisville in the last game of the season,

96
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.319
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't benefit your strength to schedule. It doesn't kill it,

97
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 2>but it's not looked at as a top twenty type win.

98
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Then they played Ole Miss and All Miss was pretty

99
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>good that year, right, I mean that was Lane Kiffin.

100
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 2>Was that his first year, second year, I think it

101
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 2>might have been his second year, and that team went

102
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 2>eight and five, and that was a good year for

103
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Lane Kiffin. Then you played South Carolina and lost to them.

104
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 2>That South Carolina team, they went four and four in

105
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 2>the SEC, but it was a loss. Then you played

106
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:37.079
<v Speaker 2>in Mississippi State, I believe at that point it looked

107
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:38.399
<v Speaker 2>like it might be and that was a decent win.

108
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 2>That was a nine and four Mississippi State team, so

109
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 2>that was a decent win for him. Then they played Tennessee.

110
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Then they played Missouri and beat Missouri and if I'm

111
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 2>not mistaken, that Missouri team, yeah, they were bad, three

112
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and five in the SEC. Then they played Georgia number one,

113
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 2>and then Louisville, who, by the way, at that time

114
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:59.240
<v Speaker 2>was ranked twenty fifth in the country. So overall, like

115
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>because you do play eight games against teams that are

116
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.879
<v Speaker 2>typically better than the eight teams Louisville plays, what it

117
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>comes down to is like if Kentucky's strength they schedule

118
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 2>ever ends up being weaker, it's just because they played

119
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Vandy and a bad SEC team and they are non conference,

120
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.120
<v Speaker 2>and with Louisville, you know, they play like they're gonna

121
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 2>play eight games in conference play this year. Two of

122
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 2>them are against Florida State and Miami who are ranked

123
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 2>in the top twenty five, and then they're gonna play

124
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame, who's the top ten team. That's a non

125
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 2>conference game that counts towards your schedule. So the gap

126
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:37.240
<v Speaker 2>is usually not as why is Kentucky fans might make

127
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:42.759
<v Speaker 2>you think. However, you know, at the end of the day,

128
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>it really doesn't matter. Like That's why I've asked myself

129
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:49.920
<v Speaker 2>the question why do I get triggered? Because the reason

130
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.040
<v Speaker 2>this whole thing came up is because today when I

131
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.959
<v Speaker 2>popped open Twitter and you go to the four U

132
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:57.319
<v Speaker 2>section of the platform where it just shows you things

133
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 2>that they think you're interested in. If it's not like

134
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.079
<v Speaker 2>stuff which I don't ever seek out political content effort.

135
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't look for it, I don't consume it. But

136
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 2>yet it's unavoidable when you get to an election year

137
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.839
<v Speaker 2>on an app owned by Elon Musk. So the other

138
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 2>stuff I see, it's people I don't follow, but it's

139
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Louisville fans and Kentucky fans fighting with each other about

140
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.000
<v Speaker 2>the strengthen schedule. And you know, Matt talked about it

141
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.839
<v Speaker 2>on KSR a couple days ago, and you know there

142
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.000
<v Speaker 2>are people that just think Louisville might as well be

143
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 2>a high school team. And yeah, they've had some accomplishments

144
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.839
<v Speaker 2>over the course of their time as a program, but

145
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 2>none of it meant anything because I mean they play

146
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.439
<v Speaker 2>high school teams. I mean two BCS Bowl wins, a

147
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.839
<v Speaker 2>trip to a Power five conference championship game, a Heisman

148
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Trophy winner. I mean since they stopped playing football with

149
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.959
<v Speaker 2>leather helmets, Louisville's been a better program. I mean that's

150
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.079
<v Speaker 2>not because they're great, it's because Kentucky before Mark Stoops

151
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>was I feel like, maybe not historically a joke, but

152
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.639
<v Speaker 2>like they did not have the sustained success they've had

153
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:54.920
<v Speaker 2>now under Stoops. And it's not like he's winning ten

154
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Speaker 2>games every year, but he's at least done it twice

155
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 2>and their bottom, their floor is not what it wants.

156
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Was two and ten, three and nine seasons at Kentucky.

157
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel like they were probably still pretty rare, but

158
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>they weren't like, Wow, what happened to Kentucky? They're two

159
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 2>and ten, three and nine, Like it wasn't that big

160
00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.439
<v Speaker 2>of a surprise because for about a four decade stretch,

161
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 2>it kind of felt like, more often than not they're

162
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.279
<v Speaker 2>going to be closer to being really bad than being

163
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:25.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, above average, So you know, if I'm a

164
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 2>Louisville fan and I need to take my own advice

165
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.199
<v Speaker 2>here because again I mentioned I'm a little triggered by

166
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 2>this as well, because I don't know why at the

167
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:35.879
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, Louisville's going to play who's on

168
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 2>their schedule, Kentucky's going to play who's on their schedule,

169
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.600
<v Speaker 2>And I think for Louisville, you know, when you do

170
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:45.120
<v Speaker 2>have success, you don't want your rival yap until you

171
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.080
<v Speaker 2>about it meaning nothing, and then whenever you do end

172
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.480
<v Speaker 2>up facing them, like last year when they weren't good,

173
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>did not have a good year by their standard even

174
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.240
<v Speaker 2>and didn't like their team, didn't have much confidence in

175
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.360
<v Speaker 2>that game, and you won ten games and had already

176
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 2>secured a spot in the ACC title game. Like that

177
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.840
<v Speaker 2>makes it to where everything they say that we I

178
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 2>think no is nonsense. They can at least say it

179
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>and not sound crazy because they've got a victory over

180
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.720
<v Speaker 2>you in the head to head. Like for example, Kentucky

181
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:18.080
<v Speaker 2>being ranked were they I don't know what they were ranked,

182
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 2>but they didn't receive near the votes that Louisville did,

183
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.159
<v Speaker 2>and the A people and none of that matters. But

184
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.639
<v Speaker 2>in the preseason, a people. Louisville was the first team unranked,

185
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.679
<v Speaker 2>so technically twenty sixth. And by the way, this is

186
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:32.039
<v Speaker 2>this is something that I'm nitpicking here. But you know

187
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>how I talked about a couple of weeks ago, John

188
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.120
<v Speaker 2>about how when when sideline reporters or just reporters in general,

189
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 2>when reporting on an injury, they'll say such and such

190
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:44.639
<v Speaker 2>is out with a knee, he's leaving with his shoulder,

191
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:46.679
<v Speaker 2>whether he steals somebody's shoulder like that. I don't know

192
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 2>why that pisses me off. It shouldn't I shouldn't care,

193
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.480
<v Speaker 2>but it does. Another thing that irritates me is when

194
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:56.720
<v Speaker 2>people say Louisville's ranked twenty six they're not because they

195
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.360
<v Speaker 2>received votes. It's a it's a top twenty five ranking. Therefore,

196
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 2>if you're not in the top twenty five, you know

197
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.879
<v Speaker 2>what you are not you're not ranked. It sounds like

198
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm crushing Louisville, Like you can't claim your rank, you

199
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.679
<v Speaker 2>guys suck. It's not about Louislle. Could be anybody could

200
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:12.600
<v Speaker 2>be Indiana there, if that makes sense, Like do you

201
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 2>Clearly I'm worked up about it and it doesn't matter.

202
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.320
<v Speaker 2>But overall the premise of what I'm saying, like, that's true. Correct,

203
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 2>If you're not in the top twenty five, you were

204
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:21.960
<v Speaker 2>not ranked.

205
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it's I guess one way that they could

206
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.159
<v Speaker 1>eliminate that issue altogether is just by not showing who

207
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.159
<v Speaker 1>who else is receiving votes, right.

208
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think actually, I think it's good to

209
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 2>see who's receiving votes because it shows where you stand. Yeah,

210
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>but again, like it doesn't mean you're ranked. Like so

211
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.720
<v Speaker 2>when people say, well, technically they be ranked thirty second,

212
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.480
<v Speaker 2>you can say they would come in at thirty second

213
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.320
<v Speaker 2>because that's where they fall among everybody who got a vote.

214
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 2>But when you're if you're not in the top twenty five, again,

215
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.799
<v Speaker 2>you know what you're not, you're not ranked. Anyways, moving on,

216
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm in a weird mental space today. I'm sorry, But anyways,

217
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Louisville received more votes than Kentuck and I don't know

218
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 2>if that's what triggered Matt talking about on his show.

219
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Didn't I didn't hear it, but I know it became

220
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.440
<v Speaker 2>a big thing on Twitter when he was claiming that

221
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.399
<v Speaker 2>Louisville doesn't play Clemson and doesn't play Miami, and they

222
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.039
<v Speaker 2>don't play any of the good teams in the ACC

223
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:12.639
<v Speaker 2>if he even said they are any good teams in

224
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:17.960
<v Speaker 2>the ACC. And you know it, Kentucky claiming they deserve

225
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 2>to be ranked ahead of Louisville this upcoming season would

226
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.799
<v Speaker 2>be based off what the fact that they've beat him

227
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:29.240
<v Speaker 2>the last five years and the fact that they won recently,

228
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.840
<v Speaker 2>which was just last season. Like that that doesn't like,

229
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.000
<v Speaker 2>That's one of the things I just can't like. So

230
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.200
<v Speaker 2>that means that technically, you know, Michigan should be ranked

231
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.480
<v Speaker 2>ahead of Ohio State this year, and that you know,

232
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Alabama should be ranked ahead of Georgia because Alabama made

233
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.360
<v Speaker 2>the playoff and Georgia didn't. Like, you know, I just

234
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:53.799
<v Speaker 2>it's one of those things that I just like. It's

235
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:55.879
<v Speaker 2>bad enough that Kentucky's been able to extend the streak

236
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 2>as long as they have, but when brom came here,

237
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:01.000
<v Speaker 2>like when you hold that over our head that you

238
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:04.639
<v Speaker 2>beat us as many times consecutively as you had, I

239
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.480
<v Speaker 2>can't claim you shouldn't do that because I'd do the

240
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:08.240
<v Speaker 2>same thing if I was a Kentucky fan, right, because

241
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:10.600
<v Speaker 2>that's what you do. It's bragging rights, it's scoreboard, it's

242
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:13.799
<v Speaker 2>a rivalry. But like they even know deep down, they're

243
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:17.159
<v Speaker 2>not facing the same Louisville as they did under Sadd White.

244
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean that guy kidding me he was scared of

245
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Mark Stoops. Mark Stoops was an alpha to him. Stoops,

246
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean he owned him. I mean when Sat went

247
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.559
<v Speaker 2>crying boohooing about L's down at midfield and the first

248
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 2>time they played each other, are you kidding me? Like,

249
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.840
<v Speaker 2>that's the weakest thing that's ever happened in this rivalry.

250
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.919
<v Speaker 2>Makes me sick to my stomach even thinking about it.

251
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 2>So with all that said, the one thing you can't

252
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>do when it's your first year with Brahm is win

253
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.200
<v Speaker 2>ten games and then lose to him again. And he

254
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.240
<v Speaker 2>did that, And I'm not saying he did it specifically,

255
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.639
<v Speaker 2>but like, I will never act as if that wasn't demoralizing.

256
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.000
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't change the fact that they had a hell

257
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 2>of a year and they're carrying momentum into this year

258
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:54.919
<v Speaker 2>with it being his second season. But man, I mean,

259
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.399
<v Speaker 2>they're not carrying momentum as far as, like you know, results,

260
00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:58.679
<v Speaker 2>because they struggled at the end of the year. But

261
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.600
<v Speaker 2>still they're coming off of a of a good season,

262
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>a really good season, to be honest with you, and

263
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 2>the fact that Kentucky got him is you know, it's painful.

264
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:10.320
<v Speaker 2>So here's advice I would give Louisville fans. Don't get

265
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.960
<v Speaker 2>worked up about them claiming that what you did means

266
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.240
<v Speaker 2>nothing because of who you played, because the trigger for

267
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.600
<v Speaker 2>them to do that is because they don't have anything

268
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.639
<v Speaker 2>to claim that they're good. Now they can have a

269
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.279
<v Speaker 2>ten win season, But even in their ten win seasons,

270
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:28.480
<v Speaker 2>were they a top five SEC team? Probably not. And

271
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't see ten win seasons happening for them now

272
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:34.559
<v Speaker 2>that their conference has gotten a lot better. So you know, Louisville, Yeah,

273
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 2>if they played in the SEC, would they have the

274
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.960
<v Speaker 2>BCS Bowl games? Would they have the Heisman Trophy winner?

275
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Probably not. I don't know. I mean maybe I think

276
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Bobby had some teams that would have not maybe won

277
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the SEC, but they certainly would have been competitive enough

278
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.919
<v Speaker 2>to be good. But we'll never know. So just understand

279
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.279
<v Speaker 2>that when they bring up you ain't played nobody, it's

280
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:57.000
<v Speaker 2>because they can have a seven and five, seven and

281
00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:01.000
<v Speaker 2>six season, beat you. It the only team they have

282
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.039
<v Speaker 2>against the whin they have against the team with the

283
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.919
<v Speaker 2>winning record b three and five or maybe four and

284
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.559
<v Speaker 2>four in their league with wins against nobodies and the

285
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:12.080
<v Speaker 2>nobody's of their league, and they you know, that's that's

286
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.159
<v Speaker 2>they have. You know, again, winning is winning and they

287
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:16.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't used to win, So like they should be happy

288
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:17.720
<v Speaker 2>with where they are, you know, especially if you're a

289
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.039
<v Speaker 2>fan that's like my age or older, because the Stoops

290
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.200
<v Speaker 2>era has been a much more successful football era than

291
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.120
<v Speaker 2>any that we've lived through again if you're in my

292
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.200
<v Speaker 2>age range. But you know, as far as like big picture,

293
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:33.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, Heisman Trophy, college football playoff ranking stuff like

294
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, conference championship stuff. Again, like it's not it's

295
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.240
<v Speaker 2>not again that that's why I say both things can

296
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.440
<v Speaker 2>be true. Yeah, Kentucky plays in a better league, there's

297
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.559
<v Speaker 2>no doubt about it. But when they yap about how

298
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:45.679
<v Speaker 2>bad louill because they said the same thing about Louisvill

299
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.440
<v Speaker 2>when they were in the Big East in the Conference USA,

300
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:49.200
<v Speaker 2>and it was legit then that they played in a

301
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.919
<v Speaker 2>better conference. But Louisville has gone to the ACC has

302
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:55.080
<v Speaker 2>still put together some you know, decent accomplishments in that time,

303
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.200
<v Speaker 2>including last year, and they don't have the ability to

304
00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:59.559
<v Speaker 2>do that. Was it just a week ago that I

305
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:01.320
<v Speaker 2>was talking about like if I was a Kentucky fan,

306
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:04.399
<v Speaker 2>it would I would I would be bummed knowing that

307
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.039
<v Speaker 2>like we could, we could take another step up here

308
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.960
<v Speaker 2>with Mark Stoops, and it probably not do a whole

309
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:14.240
<v Speaker 2>lot for our record wins and loss wise, because you're

310
00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 2>adding two teams that are going to be more often

311
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 2>than not a lot better than you in Oklahoma and

312
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Texas and also some of these teams that you've been

313
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:23.600
<v Speaker 2>able to beat. You can't control it, right, you know,

314
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 2>you play who's on your schedule. But Florida ain't gonna

315
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.559
<v Speaker 2>be down that long. They're gonna get rid of Jeremy

316
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.519
<v Speaker 2>what's his name, not Jeremy that's got fired at Tennessee

317
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:34.519
<v Speaker 2>BILLI Napier. Yeah, they're gonna get rid of Bill in

318
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.559
<v Speaker 2>a paper soon. And you think if Lane Kiffin comes

319
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.120
<v Speaker 2>into Gainesville takes over Florida, that you're gonna be a

320
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.320
<v Speaker 2>better program than them for years to come. I don't think.

321
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't see that happening. You know, South Carolina, I

322
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.639
<v Speaker 2>think they're a peer of you, but they're beating you

323
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:49.840
<v Speaker 2>now and they're not even good. You know, Tennessee, they've

324
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:52.159
<v Speaker 2>historically been better than you. You took advantage of the fact,

325
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:56.559
<v Speaker 2>they had Butch Jones and Jeremy Prewett and whoever else

326
00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:58.559
<v Speaker 2>was there in between Lane Kiffin, who I feel like

327
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:01.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm missing somebody. But now they've got Josh hipel and

328
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 2>they're not elite, but they're good. They're and they're better.

329
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.519
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I don't even bring this up to

330
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:09.440
<v Speaker 2>say like you all suck, You're going to be terrible

331
00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:11.720
<v Speaker 2>in your league. I mean, I'm looking, I'm talking to

332
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.120
<v Speaker 2>you from a Louisville fans perspective. That's like, you know what,

333
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.559
<v Speaker 2>life ain't so bad in a league that clearly is,

334
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:19.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, one of the top three four leagues. It's

335
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:21.919
<v Speaker 2>not the big ten of the SEC, but you can

336
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.639
<v Speaker 2>get to the playoff. You're considered a power conference, and

337
00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:27.679
<v Speaker 2>you know what, when you have a special season, you

338
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.320
<v Speaker 2>could see yourself winning your league. If Louisville had a

339
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:32.600
<v Speaker 2>super special season, like one of the best seasons that

340
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:35.759
<v Speaker 2>they've ever had in football, I'll be I'll be straight

341
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:37.480
<v Speaker 2>up with you, that didn't mean they'd win the SEC,

342
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:39.720
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean they'd even be a top three team, because again,

343
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>it's the best league in the country. I mean, if

344
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Texas keeps it rolling with Sark and this is sustainable Georgia, Bama, Texas.

345
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean, who knows what happens with Lane

346
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Kiffen if he goes to Florida, if that ends up happening.

347
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Like those are teams that Again, there are programs, there's

348
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:58.759
<v Speaker 2>food chains in this sport. We know that. But again

349
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:04.319
<v Speaker 2>the schedule stuff, I just think it's silly. But anyways,

350
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll take a break. I will get to what I

351
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:08.559
<v Speaker 2>was going to do at the start of the five

352
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.079
<v Speaker 2>o'clock hour until we had some technical issues. But on

353
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:16.880
<v Speaker 2>my four opinions about Louisville sports that I feel like

354
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:21.720
<v Speaker 2>would be very unpopular if I set it among other

355
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:24.839
<v Speaker 2>Louisville fans. And I'm stealing this from KSR after being

356
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:27.240
<v Speaker 2>accused of stealing from KSR and then being encouraged to

357
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.000
<v Speaker 2>steal from KSR. So tip of the cap to KSR

358
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.720
<v Speaker 2>inspiring us every day here on Coffee and Company fuel

359
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:34.240
<v Speaker 2>by Thornton's on Sportsbok seven ninety.

360
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.319
<v Speaker 1>That's right, Coffee and Company fueled by Thornton's right here

361
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.519
<v Speaker 1>on Sports Talk seven to ninety. And as the music

362
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 1>tells you, we're going to go into Nick segment about

363
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:46.640
<v Speaker 1>his unpopular opinions about Louisville basketball and football?

364
00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Is that correct? Nick? Just Louisville sports in general. I

365
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:55.000
<v Speaker 2>will I'll start with I'll start with setting it up

366
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.119
<v Speaker 2>as to how we got there. I know KSR does

367
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.400
<v Speaker 2>a unpopular opinion show every year, Matt does and and

368
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.160
<v Speaker 2>today they did it, some of them. The text line said,

369
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.279
<v Speaker 2>you steal enough from KSR on your show, why not

370
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:10.960
<v Speaker 2>do an unpopular opinion about Louisville sports like they did, which,

371
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:13.640
<v Speaker 2>again I feel like I was taking a straight there.

372
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:15.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't, you know, I don't know what I you know,

373
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:17.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what I would steal from KSR. I mean,

374
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.640
<v Speaker 2>this show is super successful. I'm sure we could learn

375
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:21.759
<v Speaker 2>a thing or two from from from what they do.

376
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.720
<v Speaker 2>But I don't, you know. I try not to. I

377
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:27.240
<v Speaker 2>mean this, I try not to listen and sample what's

378
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:31.599
<v Speaker 2>going on really anywhere else more than just enough, because

379
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be influenced to do content and

380
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.200
<v Speaker 2>talk about things that like it's just the expectation, you know,

381
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.240
<v Speaker 2>because I want to be original and sometimes it's hard

382
00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:42.119
<v Speaker 2>to do just whenever, you know, it's quite clear. Hey, Louisville,

383
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky hired a new basketball coach that's what we're going

384
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:45.559
<v Speaker 2>to talk about for like a month, Like you just

385
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:48.640
<v Speaker 2>sometimes that's just that's just how it plays out. But

386
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:50.400
<v Speaker 2>I do try to be original. And again, I like

387
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:52.519
<v Speaker 2>all those guys on KSR. KSR is a great show.

388
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.640
<v Speaker 2>It's funny, it's entertaining, you know, but I don't. I

389
00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>did feel a little offended that people claim I'm stealing

390
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:02.279
<v Speaker 2>from because I don't really know what that would even be.

391
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:05.200
<v Speaker 2>But I will steal after being encouraged to steal and

392
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:08.640
<v Speaker 2>give some unpopular opinions about Louisville sports. And again, let

393
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:10.920
<v Speaker 2>me set it up even more so as far as

394
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.640
<v Speaker 2>what this is. Imagine yourself being at work among your

395
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Louisville fans, or maybe being at L and N Cardinal

396
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Stadium tailgating, and you're among the family Louisville fans, right, like,

397
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.079
<v Speaker 2>this's a good chance that nine out of ten people

398
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:26.880
<v Speaker 2>that are tailgating with you for a louisvill football game

399
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.079
<v Speaker 2>or Louisville fans. So you share an opinion in regards

400
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:32.880
<v Speaker 2>to Louisville sports, and you know that it's unpopular among

401
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:36.039
<v Speaker 2>the majority that is there. You know that they may

402
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.039
<v Speaker 2>look at you kind of sideways. You may not get

403
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:41.440
<v Speaker 2>everybody to completely disagree with you, but you know by

404
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:44.519
<v Speaker 2>saying it, they're going to maybe even question if you're

405
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.079
<v Speaker 2>really a fan. Some of these I've said before, but

406
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how I ever presented it this way.

407
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll start with this one. L one C four was

408
00:19:55.039 --> 00:20:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the stupidest thing of all time, Louisville First Cards Forever.

409
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:06.599
<v Speaker 2>It was so corny it was, I mean, I thought it.

410
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't think there was ever any moment

411
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:10.079
<v Speaker 2>where I ever not that they need me to do

412
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:11.839
<v Speaker 2>anything to make it official. Clearly it was a big thing.

413
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.079
<v Speaker 2>It was all over the merchandise, it was all over everywhere.

414
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:16.279
<v Speaker 2>It was like the marketing slogan. And I don't know

415
00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:18.400
<v Speaker 2>who came up with it, and I don't, you know,

416
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:21.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to offend them. I just when that

417
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:25.839
<v Speaker 2>became like what Louisville's like, that's our tagline, l one

418
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.160
<v Speaker 2>C four Louisville First Cards forever, from the second I

419
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:33.079
<v Speaker 2>heard it until today at five point thirty six August fourteenth,

420
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.599
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four. I find it to be very, very,

421
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:39.200
<v Speaker 2>very corny, and I'm glad that it's kind of dead.

422
00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm sure you'll still find people hashtagging it.

423
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you'll find people wearing gear that says it.

424
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:47.480
<v Speaker 2>You may run into a fan that says it, and

425
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:49.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, it doesn't make me angry. It didn't make me,

426
00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:53.119
<v Speaker 2>didn't make me, you know, want to call them out

427
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:54.920
<v Speaker 2>and say, hey, don't you do that again. We killed that,

428
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:56.799
<v Speaker 2>we buried it. It's dead, don't bring it back. It

429
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.039
<v Speaker 2>was terrible, but like for me personally, it got to

430
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:01.839
<v Speaker 2>me because I'm a I mean, look, I'm Cardboy, right,

431
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm a Diard loisvill fan. Like anybody else you

432
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:06.880
<v Speaker 2>know that that is is among the family of Louisville

433
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:10.599
<v Speaker 2>fans that is really into it. So I felt bad, Like, man,

434
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I kind of hate that, but I shouldn't because I'm

435
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:15.119
<v Speaker 2>a Louisville fan. Like it was. It was healthy for

436
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.359
<v Speaker 2>me to learn at that point you can still be

437
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:20.119
<v Speaker 2>a big fan and just like know that there's certain

438
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:22.880
<v Speaker 2>things that like you just don't think are Like, for example,

439
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:25.599
<v Speaker 2>those uniforms we talked about last week, which by the way,

440
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:27.640
<v Speaker 2>you can buy those in stores now. The U of

441
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.160
<v Speaker 2>L uniforms that have yellow letters on them making them

442
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.680
<v Speaker 2>look like Ronald McDonald, those are hideous. Those are that's

443
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:36.079
<v Speaker 2>not even Louisville's colors. Doesn't mean I'm not a louisvill fan.

444
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:38.079
<v Speaker 2>If they wear them, I'm not going to be bothered.

445
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to not go to the game or

446
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:42.039
<v Speaker 2>watch because they're wearing them. But like I can tell

447
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:44.519
<v Speaker 2>you and no, deep down it doesn't have any impact

448
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:49.599
<v Speaker 2>on my fan that those uniforms are hideous. So there's that.

449
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:53.079
<v Speaker 2>Does that? Do you think that was strong? Is that?

450
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, I mean, I don't even know if

451
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.359
<v Speaker 2>you know or even care about l one C four,

452
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:00.400
<v Speaker 2>but like the so I feel like I feel like

453
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:01.200
<v Speaker 2>that would be unpopular.

454
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I was in high school when I believe that was

455
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:06.920
<v Speaker 1>like the big tagline for Louisville, and I mean people

456
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:09.000
<v Speaker 1>my age embraced it. I don't know if I ever

457
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:11.319
<v Speaker 1>really thought about it being corny. But now that I'm

458
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:13.720
<v Speaker 1>older and I guess have a bigger concept of things

459
00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:15.759
<v Speaker 1>like that being corny and cringe, I think I'm with

460
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:16.160
<v Speaker 1>you on that.

461
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Like, it doesn't it doesn't, it doesn't harm anything. It

462
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:23.519
<v Speaker 2>doesn't like, it's not detrimental to the brand of U

463
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:25.839
<v Speaker 2>of l Athletics because it's just it's just my opinion,

464
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:26.079
<v Speaker 2>you know what.

465
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:28.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like now, if they were coming out with

466
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:30.039
<v Speaker 1>a new tagline today, I don't think that would be it.

467
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:32.079
<v Speaker 1>I think there'd be a lot more self awareness with it.

468
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 2>Maybe. I just I just searched for hashtag l one

469
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:39.200
<v Speaker 2>C four on Twitter and went to the latest tab

470
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:40.920
<v Speaker 2>to where it shows you like the latest, and there's

471
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:43.119
<v Speaker 2>still people that use it. So you know, it's not

472
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:45.759
<v Speaker 2>what is It doesn't new? Is it? It just go cards?

473
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Is that what it is?

474
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Now? L's Up was a thing, so I guess it.

475
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:55.119
<v Speaker 2>Really that's a good question to maybe ask Josh Hurt.

476
00:22:55.160 --> 00:23:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Now he definitely lets his team in marketing and miss

477
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.519
<v Speaker 2>Stockwell and her group like they're marketing branding, like they

478
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.039
<v Speaker 2>do a really good job in that regard. So you know,

479
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Josh may tell you to ask them. But I know

480
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:10.519
<v Speaker 2>L one C four became a thing right around the

481
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:13.519
<v Speaker 2>Tom Lowell was joining the ACC, and I know Chris

482
00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Mack he had L's Up obviously. Right now, Pat Kelsey

483
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.759
<v Speaker 2>is revival. I mean brom squad, that's one I've always

484
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.839
<v Speaker 2>used with football. Maybe there's one that's you know, uh.

485
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.160
<v Speaker 2>And sometimes they'll create their own hashtag for like a

486
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:30.200
<v Speaker 2>new era of players with a like a recruiting class.

487
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.880
<v Speaker 2>So you know again, I share that just to know that,

488
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:36.000
<v Speaker 2>like a lot of people, if you come out and

489
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:38.559
<v Speaker 2>say L one C four is really corny and I

490
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:40.079
<v Speaker 2>wish they never used it, and I wish they wouldn't

491
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:41.519
<v Speaker 2>use it again, people would look at you like, what

492
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:43.839
<v Speaker 2>are you talking about? Like that's that's our that's our brand.

493
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:46.720
<v Speaker 2>So that's why I feel like it's unpopular maybe maybe

494
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:48.519
<v Speaker 2>more than anything. This should be labeled on my end

495
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.880
<v Speaker 2>instead of unpopular opinion, it should be insecurities as a fan, because.

496
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.119
<v Speaker 1>You know, India just introduced a new hashtag, never Daunted.

497
00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:57.279
<v Speaker 1>It's from the fight song.

498
00:23:57.640 --> 00:23:58.160
<v Speaker 2>I saw that.

499
00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel about it.

500
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:00.880
<v Speaker 2>But do you know who for tweeted that that. I

501
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:02.640
<v Speaker 2>realized what is this? And then I looked into it

502
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:03.480
<v Speaker 2>and found out what it was.

503
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Who was it?

504
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:08.119
<v Speaker 2>Rick Bosic? Oh okay, that doesn't tell you he's sigged up.

505
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:09.400
<v Speaker 1>He is sigged up.

506
00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Bosich. He's gonna be walking around. He

507
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:15.480
<v Speaker 2>can't smoke at press conferences, but he's gonna have a

508
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.480
<v Speaker 2>cigarette in his ear when he's waiting for Signette to

509
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:20.720
<v Speaker 2>get done with the game, and he's letting everybody know

510
00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:23.319
<v Speaker 2>that once he walks out of what's Indiana Stadium.

511
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Called Memorial Stadium.

512
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Once he walks out of Memorial Stadium, he's lighting up

513
00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:28.759
<v Speaker 2>for signette baby.

514
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Instead of the signature. Laugh, it'll be like a cough

515
00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:33.200
<v Speaker 1>in the background. Here we're posting the press conference.

516
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, there you go, dude. They should have you

517
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:39.400
<v Speaker 2>do that before the team runs on the field.

518
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I hope in the in the pregame hype video that

519
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:46.119
<v Speaker 1>there's someone lighting a cigarette or a cigar in the background.

520
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I doubt there will be, but I'd be all for that.

521
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:52.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, I got another I got another unpopular opinion

522
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>that you know, I think some time has passed therefore,

523
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:02.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's probably not going to be something that

524
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:09.000
<v Speaker 2>seems to be so unpopular. But I feel like Rick

525
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Patino should have been fired after the Minoriti Hall thing

526
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.960
<v Speaker 2>because it did it did a lot of damage to

527
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:21.640
<v Speaker 2>I think the brand of U of L. And I

528
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 2>don't mean just the fact that like that happened at

529
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:29.119
<v Speaker 2>Minorti Hall, because I mean I do actually believe that

530
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:31.319
<v Speaker 2>it's not some crazy like again, we don't need to

531
00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:32.920
<v Speaker 2>get into it today certainly not the day to do that,

532
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:41.240
<v Speaker 2>but I mean the timeline and the amount of money,

533
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:43.960
<v Speaker 2>And again I get uncomfortable and gross thinking about it,

534
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:46.160
<v Speaker 2>because the way if I don't, if even if I

535
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:48.680
<v Speaker 2>lay this out exactly the way I want it to

536
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:50.400
<v Speaker 2>want to lay it out, it's still going to sound,

537
00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:52.359
<v Speaker 2>at least to an extent, like I'm defending it like

538
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:54.160
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't awful and it wasn't a big deal. And

539
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I never want to do that because it's gross. But

540
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:59.839
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't some elaborate thing to where every weekend there

541
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:02.440
<v Speaker 2>or stripper parties and a ton of money was exchanging hands.

542
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:06.119
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about a handful of times over multiple years,

543
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:09.000
<v Speaker 2>and a very small amount of money doesn't make it

544
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:12.440
<v Speaker 2>okay at all. But what I'm saying is that makes

545
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:14.720
<v Speaker 2>it a little bit more plausible that Rick wouldn't know.

546
00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:18.839
<v Speaker 2>And anybody who thinks Rick Patino would know of this

547
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:21.480
<v Speaker 2>and encourage it to get players like he would never

548
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.759
<v Speaker 2>He would literally murder Andre McGee if he knew ahead

549
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:29.680
<v Speaker 2>of time what he was planning and doing, like anybody

550
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:32.680
<v Speaker 2>who knows Rick, who knows the ongoings of the program

551
00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:36.680
<v Speaker 2>at that time, like shady stuff I'm sure happened, because

552
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:38.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it happened everywhere to an extent, but like

553
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:41.880
<v Speaker 2>the fact that Patino was behind Katina Powell and her crew,

554
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:46.079
<v Speaker 2>like that's just nonsense. But again, it still happened. And

555
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:49.640
<v Speaker 2>I think when you have something of that magnitude happen

556
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:55.559
<v Speaker 2>and you, I mean, you don't know when you're the

557
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:57.799
<v Speaker 2>head coach and something like that went on, Like again,

558
00:26:58.519 --> 00:27:01.559
<v Speaker 2>you're still responsible for your pro and more than anything,

559
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:06.839
<v Speaker 2>nobody getting fired, not a single person losing their job

560
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:11.359
<v Speaker 2>at the University of Louisville after that scandal and them

561
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.960
<v Speaker 2>punishing themselves by taking away a tournament and then just

562
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:18.759
<v Speaker 2>assuming that because they did that that there'd be no

563
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:23.119
<v Speaker 2>further punishment, Like I think it damaged the brand to

564
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:27.200
<v Speaker 2>some to some extent in regards to that we don't

565
00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:30.160
<v Speaker 2>care about anything, you know what I mean, Like we're

566
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.799
<v Speaker 2>we're untouchable. Our coach is untouchable. He's Rick Patino, He's

567
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:36.160
<v Speaker 2>like it made it look as if Rick is in

568
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:38.880
<v Speaker 2>fact bigger than the program. And I think you can

569
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:40.839
<v Speaker 2>never you know, and you can never operate it that

570
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:45.480
<v Speaker 2>way ever, so I think had you and by the way,

571
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:46.720
<v Speaker 2>for those who think, well who did get no, he

572
00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:48.559
<v Speaker 2>got fired because of the Brian Bowen thing, which actually

573
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:50.599
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you, would have never happened if

574
00:27:50.599 --> 00:27:52.319
<v Speaker 2>he did get fired, because Louil wouldn't have been involved

575
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:54.359
<v Speaker 2>in that whole thing. But I think that he truly was,

576
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:56.839
<v Speaker 2>like completely like the one thing that did get him fired.

577
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:00.559
<v Speaker 2>I do think he was innocently just you know, it

578
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:01.960
<v Speaker 2>was just bad luck for him as far as how

579
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.000
<v Speaker 2>it played out, and because he's such a high profile coach,

580
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.319
<v Speaker 2>they they wanted to make an example out of him.

581
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:11.279
<v Speaker 2>All Right, this is probably not that unpopular, but I

582
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:13.240
<v Speaker 2>know at least some would disagree, And if you're younger,

583
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:15.160
<v Speaker 2>you may not disagree, but you may just not believe

584
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:17.480
<v Speaker 2>me because you're so young. But I believe that the

585
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:20.119
<v Speaker 2>Louisville football team from two thousand and four is the

586
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:23.839
<v Speaker 2>best Louisville football team we've ever had here. That team,

587
00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean just completely completely loaded. They ended up going

588
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:31.200
<v Speaker 2>eleven and one, eight and zero. Their only loss was

589
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:34.160
<v Speaker 2>at Miami, who of course had a gazillion NFL players

590
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:37.039
<v Speaker 2>on that team. They beat number ten Boise State, who

591
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:39.359
<v Speaker 2>was an undefeated team at that time in that bowl game.

592
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:43.640
<v Speaker 2>And man, that roster are that roster and that staff.

593
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:47.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Louisville was still in Conference USA at the time.

594
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Therefore it wasn't he just didn't get the same level

595
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:52.440
<v Speaker 2>of you know, it just didn't get the same You

596
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:55.119
<v Speaker 2>did not get the same notoriety that you would at

597
00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:56.640
<v Speaker 2>eleven and one if you were in the Big East.

598
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:59.119
<v Speaker 2>But I mean they were at roster, had some really

599
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:01.000
<v Speaker 2>good players, and I think, you know, it's hard to

600
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:03.200
<v Speaker 2>say that. I mean, there's no conversation with the best

601
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:06.000
<v Speaker 2>quarterback ever for Louisville because of Lamar Jackson coming here

602
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:09.000
<v Speaker 2>and doing what he did. But I think Stefan Lafour's

603
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:11.319
<v Speaker 2>to me in that season and really just his career.

604
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:13.039
<v Speaker 2>He only played two years as a starter because he

605
00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:16.880
<v Speaker 2>was behind Dave for going, but pre Lamar, I was

606
00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:19.759
<v Speaker 2>still willing to put Stefan as the best quarterback that

607
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.119
<v Speaker 2>I ever watched play here, ahead of Teddy, ahead of Brian.

608
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:24.000
<v Speaker 2>That's just how special that group was. So I don't

609
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:26.039
<v Speaker 2>know how controversial or unpopular that is, but I would

610
00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:28.519
<v Speaker 2>imagine most would not agree that that's the best LOOVL

611
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:30.480
<v Speaker 2>football team of all time. But that's what I think.

612
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Last one. This is more recent, and I made this

613
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:39.400
<v Speaker 2>pretty clear throughout, and you know, there's no sense in

614
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:41.400
<v Speaker 2>dwelling on it because it's in the past, and you know,

615
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:44.920
<v Speaker 2>things are good now, I believe, but I still believe

616
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:50.640
<v Speaker 2>that Kenny Payne, his situation at u of L was

617
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:53.079
<v Speaker 2>not handled correctly by the administration. What I mean by

618
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:56.920
<v Speaker 2>that is those that kept saying, well, what do you

619
00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:58.960
<v Speaker 2>want him to say? Like, I still think everything I

620
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.799
<v Speaker 2>said about Kenny about the administration, I still stand by.

621
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:04.279
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't mean you have to agree. And again it

622
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.759
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter now because it's over. But the silence and

623
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:11.799
<v Speaker 2>the blatant goofs that made the brand take hit after

624
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:14.640
<v Speaker 2>hit from this clown show of a staff, things that

625
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, not even like you don't even have to

626
00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:18.400
<v Speaker 2>be like the way the whole thing played out with

627
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Karan Davis and the two statements and the staff wearing

628
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Nikes in it. You know, when you have the biggest

629
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Adidas deal in the country and you know, not knowing

630
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 2>you need to hire refs for an inner squad red

631
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:34.319
<v Speaker 2>white scrimmage. Like, there were so many goofs that showed

632
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:36.160
<v Speaker 2>that this guy was just in comp take away wins

633
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:38.480
<v Speaker 2>and losses, take away the games, just he could not.

634
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:41.359
<v Speaker 2>He was embarrassing to this program in a way that

635
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I hope if we ever get even in the same

636
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:47.319
<v Speaker 2>planet as to that big of a debacle, which we

637
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:50.279
<v Speaker 2>never will if we tried. And I mean that someone

638
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:53.400
<v Speaker 2>needs to be out in front, and you know, there's

639
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:55.599
<v Speaker 2>no good thing to say when that's happening. There isn't.

640
00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:58.000
<v Speaker 2>But that's why that's a tough job. You know, many

641
00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:59.440
<v Speaker 2>times people have to get in front of a microphone

642
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:02.039
<v Speaker 2>and a camera to address the obvious thing that's going

643
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:03.839
<v Speaker 2>on when they know there's not a single thing they

644
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.279
<v Speaker 2>could say as far as words that's going to make

645
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:08.599
<v Speaker 2>anybody feel better, that's going to make it all go away.

646
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:13.519
<v Speaker 2>But the silence I feel like was a huge, huge miss.

647
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:15.960
<v Speaker 2>But again, Louisville fans are so passionate, they care so

648
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:20.160
<v Speaker 2>much that in the end, you know, in the end

649
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:22.519
<v Speaker 2>it probably won't matter because you've got to do a

650
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:23.880
<v Speaker 2>lot more to us. I mean, think about the little

651
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:26.640
<v Speaker 2>basketball fans have gone through in the last ten years collectively.

652
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:32.039
<v Speaker 2>We ain't going anywhere. We'll ride it out for hopes

653
00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:33.599
<v Speaker 2>of better days, which I do think those better days

654
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:35.480
<v Speaker 2>are here. So again, I know that's probably not the

655
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:38.440
<v Speaker 2>right time to say this with the vibes being so

656
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:41.400
<v Speaker 2>good for Louisville hoops, but I still think that the

657
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:43.839
<v Speaker 2>Year two could have been, you know, from a pr perspective,

658
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:45.799
<v Speaker 2>handled a lot better. But we're at a time quick break.

659
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:47.160
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back and wrap it up on the other side.

660
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Here wrap it up rising one more time from the

661
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:52.720
<v Speaker 1>pool zone. As we mentioned earlier, is Nick Coffee here

662
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:54.079
<v Speaker 1>in this final segment.

663
00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:59.799
<v Speaker 2>Just imagine me walking out of the pool with just water,

664
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.960
<v Speaker 2>listening off my rock hard, muscle filled body. I have

665
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:08.039
<v Speaker 2>no yeah, I have no hair. I was gonna be

666
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:09.839
<v Speaker 2>like doing some kind of like fabio thing to you know,

667
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:11.359
<v Speaker 2>dry my hair off, but I have none of that.

668
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:13.240
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, a good song to do that too. By

669
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:15.359
<v Speaker 1>the way, the one we just played, Yeah, I love

670
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:17.640
<v Speaker 1>eminem it. It's the Nick Coffee vibe.

671
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, so you know what that uh you

672
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.880
<v Speaker 2>know what that song reminds me of with that, not

673
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:24.960
<v Speaker 2>the minem, but the that's a sample of a song.

674
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:27.039
<v Speaker 2>But the Night at the Do you know what that is?

675
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:28.519
<v Speaker 1>The movie?

676
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, okay, you probably haven't seen it, you know, yeah,

677
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:34.240
<v Speaker 2>you don't need to watch it. It's old, but it

678
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:35.519
<v Speaker 2>would have made me sad if you didn't know what

679
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:37.640
<v Speaker 2>it was, because it's actually it's it's like early Will

680
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Ferrell and it's Chris Catan, who I feel like never

681
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:43.079
<v Speaker 2>gets it, never gets the love he deserves because he's

682
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:46.319
<v Speaker 2>he's really funny. But anyways, yes, no more water shows

683
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:49.839
<v Speaker 2>after today, so I'll be above water and uh and

684
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:53.559
<v Speaker 2>in good shape to you know, do the show normally,

685
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:56.440
<v Speaker 2>but actually think all things consider. Not to pat ourselves

686
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:58.519
<v Speaker 2>on the back here, but I feel like we made

687
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:00.799
<v Speaker 2>we made it work today. We had some we that's

688
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:02.640
<v Speaker 2>the day of the game. That's a show today, that's

689
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:04.720
<v Speaker 2>what we aim to do. So if you've missed any

690
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:06.279
<v Speaker 2>of the show, make sure you down on. The podcast

691
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:07.920
<v Speaker 2>will be up here soon and we will talk to

692

<v Speaker 2>you guys tomorrow. Have a go one. This has been

693
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:12.319
<v Speaker 2>Coffee and Company Field Matt Thornton's on Sports Talk seven

694
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:12.640
<v Speaker 2>ninety
