00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:06.599
<v Speaker 1>It's time for coffee and company fueled by Thornton's on

2
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven nine day. Now, here's nit coffee.

3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get it started at the five o'clock

4
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:15.839
<v Speaker 2>hour here on a Tuesday afternoon.

5
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:17.239
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for hanging with us.

6
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 2>That is coffee and company and we are fueled by

7
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety two hours down

8
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:26.359
<v Speaker 2>with one more to go. Another reminder, make sure you

9
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:28.960
<v Speaker 2>sign up if you have not yet to become a

10
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 2>member of the Thornton's or Freshman Awards program. You'll save

11
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 2>money at the gas pump. And you know you have

12
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 2>to get gas, right unless I guess you have an

13
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 2>electric vehicle, and I know that those are becoming, you know,

14
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>more popular, but i'd stay. I would say the vast

15
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.159
<v Speaker 2>majority of vehicles on the road are still needing gasoline.

16
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.960
<v Speaker 2>So it's a trip you're gonna have to make again

17
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 2>unless you are one of those people with an electric vehicle.

18
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:51.920
<v Speaker 2>So if you could save money every time you get gas,

19
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 2>why wouldn't you make it a point to stop in

20
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.439
<v Speaker 2>at Thornton's where you're saving money, And that's likely going

21
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 2>to lead to you maybe going inside Thornton's after you

22
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 2>set the pump or maybe after you get gas, and

23
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>then you'll see all the great options they have when

24
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 2>it comes to food items and it's just the best.

25
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>So again, you download the app on your Android, your autphone,

26
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 2>if you have a smartphone, you can get the app.

27
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 2>It's free, and I think you will be happy that

<v Speaker 2>Union text line. So for those just now joining us,

39
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 2>I suppose some news that is worth sharing for those

40
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 2>of you that may not have seen this news just yet,

41
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>but Jeff Brohm appears to have landed his first addition

42
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 2>in the transfer portal, and this is somebody that he's

43
00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 2>certainly familiar with A former player.

44
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, well, I don't Yeah, I guess he would have.

45
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>He was at Purdue for three years, so he would

46
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>have played for Jeff at least at least once. But yeah,

47
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 2>they've landed the first transfer so far, and that is

48
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 2>a offensive lineman who comes from Purdue. The young man's

49
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 2>name is Mohammaane Mussa, again a three year starter on

50
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>the O line for Purdue. And then also we now

51
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.879
<v Speaker 2>know that Jacorey Brooks is going to be declaring for

52
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 2>the NFL Draft. It was one of those big graphics

53
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 2>that a lot of these guys put out with a statement,

54
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 2>and I didn't think he had any eligibility left, which

55
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>doesn't look like he does, but you never know. I

56
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 2>feel like if guys just I kind of feel like,

57
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>if guys just don't leave college and just hang out

58
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 2>and see if anybody notices, they might be able to

59
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.039
<v Speaker 2>get away with it. I mean not really, but like

60
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.639
<v Speaker 2>I kind of wouldn't be totally shocked if that did happen,

61
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>given the fact that, like the NAA seems to not

62
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 2>really be enforcing a whole lot, and anytime they do

63
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 2>try to you know, put their foot down and enforce

64
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 2>something it doesn't seem to go in their favor. But

65
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 2>he is going to go to the NFL draft, and

66
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I suppose by announcing that it's really more than anything,

67
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 2>a sign that he is not going to play in

68
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.039
<v Speaker 2>the bowl game. And I don't know that anybody really need,

69
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 2>like what is the protocol here? What is the expected

70
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>communication to the fans? And maybe we're not entitled to it,

71
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 2>but you know, Jeff did talk did a He had

72
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 2>a press conference after the bowl announcement and and said

73
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't have a clue who is and who is

74
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 2>not going to play in the bowl game, which I

75
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 2>believe him.

76
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:31.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

77
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine that they haven't had any real conversations

78
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 2>about that with the majority of the roster. But there

79
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 2>are guys that, like, I just don't expect to play

80
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.840
<v Speaker 2>because you know, I mean, if they want to play, great,

81
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>But if you are moving on and you want to

82
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 2>play in the NFL, I don't really see this as

83
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>a game for you to benefit, right, I mean I

84
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 2>guess you could claim, well, if they put out some

85
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 2>really good film and you know, in this bowl game

86
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 2>against Washington, that could really improve their draft stock, but

87
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't, I mean maybe, I mean, I guess there's

88
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 2>a chance that could happen, But I feel like, and

89
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 2>I you know, I wish guys would always I wish

90
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't even in anybody's mind and not play a

91
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 2>game when your team is in action. But I feel

92
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.439
<v Speaker 2>like Leonard Fournett when he was at LSU, was kind

93
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>of the first big name to just decide, yeah, I'm

94
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 2>not gonna I'm not gonna do that. And I think

95
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 2>it was against Yeah, it was a Louisville game. They

96
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 2>played Louisville in that twenty sixteen Bowl game down in Florida.

97
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, I now, you know, expect guys not

98
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 2>to play and don't blame them at all, and that's

99
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 2>just kind of where we are. So there are a

100
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 2>handful of guys on this team that have exhausted their eligibility,

101
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 2>like Quincy Riley and Tyler Shuck, and I think those

102
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 2>guys have a chance to play in the NFL. Obviously,

103
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.639
<v Speaker 2>Quincy Riley will be drafted. Tyler Shuck, I'm not sure,

104
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>but I wouldn't be shocked by any means if he

105
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 2>ends up being able to find an NFL home and

106
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 2>hang out for a little while there in the league.

107
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 2>But you know, is there going to be some type

108
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>of at some point, is there going to be some

109
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.920
<v Speaker 2>announcement that fans and I don't just mean Louisville fans,

110
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean college football fans, Like, is there some kind

111
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Speaker 2>of a protocol to see who in fact is playing

112
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>and who is not playing in the bowl game. I mean,

113
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe it can be an individual thing where the program

114
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 2>puts out a press release notifying people. It's just, you know,

115
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 2>it's become such an expectation for guys to sit out

116
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 2>bowl games, but is it really worthy of like a

117
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.160
<v Speaker 2>full on press release for certain guys. It's just, you know,

118
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.519
<v Speaker 2>it's it. I'm happy that that, you know, bowl games

119
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.680
<v Speaker 2>are still around. I'd rather have them than not. But

120
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 2>I get the sense that we are collectively college football

121
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 2>fans really across the country, if you're not somebody that

122
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.360
<v Speaker 2>is rooting for a team that's in the college football playoff,

123
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 2>like we think we kind of all are treating these

124
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.800
<v Speaker 2>things the same way, right, Like, it doesn't like a

125
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 2>win or a loss in a bowl game is no

126
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>longer viewed as something that really has a big impact

127
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.600
<v Speaker 2>on how you view your season because of obvious reasons.

128
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 3>You know, you're not you.

129
00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you get out, go out there and

130
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 2>get a big win, and then you know, hell yeah.

131
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 2>But you also kind of deep down know that you're

132
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 2>probably not playing an opponent that was at full strength

133
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 2>because they probably had guys that opted out. And if

134
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.800
<v Speaker 2>you go out in a bowl game and you don't

135
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 2>play well and you lose, it's not what you want.

136
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.040
<v Speaker 2>You're probably not happy about it, but like you probably

137
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 2>can't even fake the energy to be totally mad at

138
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.759
<v Speaker 2>your team because you're probably watching guys that didn't play

139
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 2>a ton of reps this year because you know they're

140
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.439
<v Speaker 2>now getting opportunities because the other guys chose not to play. So, look,

141
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna watch Louisvill's bowl game against Washington in the

142
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.199
<v Speaker 2>Sun Bowl, but I as of now have no clue

143
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>who's going to be playing, and you know, we'll have

144
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 2>to just have to just wait and see. All right,

145
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:43.680
<v Speaker 2>So this, Uh, I've been refreshing Twitter throughout the show.

146
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 2>I tend to do that, you know, every day, just

147
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 2>because that is where I get most of my information,

148
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 2>which probably isn't a good thing to tell to share

149
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 2>with you, guys, because not only are you probably well

150
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 2>aware of it, but you hear me say it often.

151
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Like Twitter is become like this platform that you really,

152
00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, even if you see something that is legit

153
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 2>and breaking news. At least for me, I'm kind of

154
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:06.000
<v Speaker 2>now programmed to just assume that it's prob that I

155
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 2>need to just triple check to see if this is real,

156
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.959
<v Speaker 2>because it's so easy for misinformation to be, you know,

157
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>to be spread on that platform. And there are people

158
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 2>who are you know, not to say they're super naive,

159
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>but I think you could. You can be someone that

160
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.439
<v Speaker 2>is not naive and completely get got in a way

161
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>that you didn't used to be able to. So the

162
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Bill Belichick stuff, well, there was a report earlier from

163
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 2>somebody that you know is a reputable reporter. I can't

164
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>think of exactly what his name is, but I'll pull

165
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:32.920
<v Speaker 2>it up here to see if I can see if

166
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 2>he's got any updates. But like the Bill Belichick to

167
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.519
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina, the fact that that's real, like that they're

168
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 2>literally considered in hiring him and he apparently is very

169
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.480
<v Speaker 2>interested in the job. I just still can't can't make

170
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.040
<v Speaker 2>any sense of it. Apparently he wants to show that

171
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.879
<v Speaker 2>he can be successful as a football coach, not at

172
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 2>the NFL level, and he wants to show that he

173
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.399
<v Speaker 2>can succeed without Tom Brady. I mean that that would

174
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.600
<v Speaker 2>make sense. But when we were talking earlier, was Zach

175
00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 2>Barnett a football scoop. I thought he made a really

176
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.160
<v Speaker 2>good point, and that was that if he can bring

177
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.680
<v Speaker 2>over his son to be the defensive coordinator and I'm

178
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.279
<v Speaker 2>not even sure where he's coaching now. I know his

179
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.639
<v Speaker 2>son is currently a DC at the college level somewhere,

180
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.160
<v Speaker 2>but wherever, like, bring him over, and then if Belichick

181
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 2>decides to move on and go to the NFL after

182
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>a few years or just you know, retire because he's

183
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 2>in his seventies, then he can hand the job off

184
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.920
<v Speaker 2>to his son. That's the first scenario that would make

185
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 2>sense as to why he wants to do this. Anything else, like,

186
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:28.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, the whole Brady thing, Like really, that's you

187
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:30.079
<v Speaker 2>think people are going to like, I.

188
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:31.800
<v Speaker 3>Don't even I don't know what Bill could.

189
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.399
<v Speaker 2>Do other than going to the NFL and winning multiple

190
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowls.

191
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what he could do to have people.

192
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:45.840
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't benefiting from Brady more than Brady was benefiting

193
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 2>from him. Now the reality is they both benefited from

194
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 2>each other. Both are phenomenal, but they split up. Tom

195
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.879
<v Speaker 2>Brady went to Tampa and won a Super Bowl. Bill

196
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Belichick fell apart, and the whole I mean, the Patriots

197
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.279
<v Speaker 2>really have missed I mean, they missed Tom, there's no

198
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.320
<v Speaker 2>doubt about that. But then, you know, even though it's

199
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.519
<v Speaker 2>his first year, like, the Patriots are in a terrible

200
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 2>place right now, and there's talk that they may get

201
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 2>rid of their coach after just one year if Robert

202
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.399
<v Speaker 2>Kraft is, you know, is not satisfied with with the

203
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 2>plan and the vision they have to get this thing

204
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.639
<v Speaker 2>turned around. So like, I just the whole Brady thing,

205
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:21.919
<v Speaker 2>I get it because you know, clearly those two guys

206
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.879
<v Speaker 2>are very prideful and and and right now there's no

207
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.200
<v Speaker 2>doubt Brady looks like he was you know, he was

208
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.600
<v Speaker 2>a bigger factor in their success than Belichick was. But

209
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 2>I just can't I can't imagine, Yeah, I'm gonna go

210
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.600
<v Speaker 2>take the job at North Carolina and coaching college football,

211
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.320
<v Speaker 2>something I've never done before, or at least not in

212
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.759
<v Speaker 2>the last forty years, and that'll that'll show people it

213
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.240
<v Speaker 2>wasn't just Tom, you know, I was a factor in it,

214
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.799
<v Speaker 2>Like it just it just sounds so not real, but

215
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.559
<v Speaker 2>again it is real, meaning that he's he's he's being

216
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:51.440
<v Speaker 2>considered for the job, and there was one report that

217
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:53.799
<v Speaker 2>said that it's gonna be him, but that's not been

218
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>confirmed and as of now, it doesn't look like there's

219
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.440
<v Speaker 2>anything official. So the new world of college athletics when

220
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 2>it comes to nil and managing your roster and trying

221
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 2>to make sure guys that you want to keep around

222
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.519
<v Speaker 2>don't hit the portal, work in the portal to go,

223
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.480
<v Speaker 2>try to get players to make you better. Like we

224
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.600
<v Speaker 2>talk about this all the time in between the lines

225
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:20.039
<v Speaker 2>when I watch football and basketball, because those are the

226
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.399
<v Speaker 2>sports when it comes to college athletics that I watch

227
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.320
<v Speaker 2>more than really anything. I mean, I know we're in

228
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.200
<v Speaker 2>a new world, but like it's not something that stands

229
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 2>out when I'm watching. Occasionally I'll see somebody and I'm like, oh, wow,

230
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:32.879
<v Speaker 2>I forgot that guy was still around in college. What

231
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>is this is third team in three years? Like those

232
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.639
<v Speaker 2>are moments when watching that make me realize, wow, this

233
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 2>is this is a different world. But outside of that,

234
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.879
<v Speaker 2>like the coverage of it, keeping up with it. It

235
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 2>is an entirely new world, a new ballgame, and coaches

236
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.519
<v Speaker 2>have made it quite clear that the job that they

237
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:53.720
<v Speaker 2>were hired to do, unless I guess you were hired,

238
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, unless you're like a new head coach, which,

239
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.919
<v Speaker 2>by the way, Kenny Dillingham at Arizona State, he seems

240
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>to be. Like I mean, first of all, he's one

241
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.200
<v Speaker 2>of the youngest guys out there in the game. He's

242
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.159
<v Speaker 2>got Arizona State in the playoff already, Like he's phenomenal,

243
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.799
<v Speaker 2>he's got all the momentum right now. But he's somebody that,

244
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 2>like when he became a head coach for the first time,

245
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.120
<v Speaker 2>we were already in this new world. Everybody else, like

246
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:15.600
<v Speaker 2>the job changed when you already had the gig. So

247
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, it is different, and they complain about it

248
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.159
<v Speaker 2>a lot, and I get it, like it is different.

249
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 2>I also don't have a lot of sympathy for them, because,

250
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.919
<v Speaker 2>as I've said many times, you know, these guys, some

251
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.159
<v Speaker 2>of them are the most are the highest paid employees

252
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.440
<v Speaker 2>in their state. Right, these coaches that make a ton

253
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:31.440
<v Speaker 2>of money, they could be terrible and lose games, they

254
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.559
<v Speaker 2>still don't have to worry about getting their paychecks because

255
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.679
<v Speaker 2>that's just how these contracts are put together. So you know,

256
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker 2>it is a new world and there are certain I

257
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:44.960
<v Speaker 2>think personality traits if you will, that can really benefit

258
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.799
<v Speaker 2>you in this new world because you can't just be

259
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.759
<v Speaker 2>a drill sergeant. You have to manage egos. It's really

260
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:54.759
<v Speaker 2>more so than ever about relationships. And I'm just sitting

261
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.039
<v Speaker 2>here thinking as North Carolina is looking to find a

262
00:11:58.039 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 2>new head coach because it didn't work out with me

263
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Mac Brown for a variety of reasons, but maybe one

264
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.480
<v Speaker 2>because you know, he's one hundred years old and it's

265
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.519
<v Speaker 2>hard for him to relate to college kids or high

266
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.399
<v Speaker 2>school kids these recruiting I have no clue if that's

267
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 2>really what went wrong with Mac Brown, but clearly he

268
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>was underwhelming. So to know how important all that is

269
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.480
<v Speaker 2>right now and go hire Bill Belichick who I'm not

270
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:22.360
<v Speaker 2>sure anybody Bill Belichick, who is he relatable to? He's

271
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 2>a football robot. Now he has shown a little bit

272
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:30.120
<v Speaker 2>of personality, and actually, no, I lied, I wouldn't call

273
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.240
<v Speaker 2>it personality. He has shown signs that like he's human,

274
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like a laugh or you know the fact

275
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.879
<v Speaker 2>that he's dating some chick that's twelve years younger than me.

276
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:44.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's like, that's what makes him seem I

277
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:45.720
<v Speaker 2>don't know if that makes him seem human, but you

278
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, Like he I find it hard

279
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:49.840
<v Speaker 2>to believe he'd be the guy that you think can

280
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:53.320
<v Speaker 2>really go out there and relate to young people and

281
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:55.720
<v Speaker 2>get them motivated to come and play for him. Now,

282
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:57.759
<v Speaker 2>he does have a lot of Super Bowl rings. He's

283
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Bill Belichick, but like, is that enough? I just think

284
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.399
<v Speaker 2>if I, if I was a fly, I would love

285
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:04.600
<v Speaker 2>to be a fly on the wall in these in

286
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:06.480
<v Speaker 2>these meeting rooms or whatever.

287
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:07.519
<v Speaker 3>You know, maybe it's a zoom call.

288
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the people that have say so at

289
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.600
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina, the people who have influence on this decision

290
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 2>as far as who is going to be their their

291
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.639
<v Speaker 2>head coach. I mean I feel like they're like, well,

292
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:20.480
<v Speaker 2>how could we not we have a chance to hire

293
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 2>Bill Belichick? Why in the world would we not do it?

294
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.720
<v Speaker 2>It's Bill Belichick. But also you're thinking to yourself, like,

295
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.799
<v Speaker 2>is this maybe the worst possible fit ever? Like, I

296
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.559
<v Speaker 2>don't know, it hasn't happened yet, it's not official, but

297
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:38.159
<v Speaker 2>it's something I refuse, like I refuse to believe is

298
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.080
<v Speaker 2>real until I see him on the sidelines coaching, or

299
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I guess, honestly probably see him at the press conference

300
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:48.080
<v Speaker 2>being introduced as the new head coach for North Carolina.

301
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's see real quick before we get to

302
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 2>our first break here in the five o'clock hour. This

303
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.919
<v Speaker 2>this had been rumored to be a real possibility for

304
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:58.879
<v Speaker 2>a while and then it actually happened today. And that

305
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.600
<v Speaker 2>is the number one record in America deciding he wants

306
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 2>to play his college basketball at BYU. Aj Da Bansta.

307
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm saying that correct. Again, he's the number

308
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.679
<v Speaker 2>one player in America. I don't know if he's got

309
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.240
<v Speaker 2>the same kind of like hype that you see with

310
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:19.000
<v Speaker 2>guys that you saw with guys like Cooper Flagg, because

311
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:21.240
<v Speaker 2>that was really kind of next level. But you know,

312
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.440
<v Speaker 2>he's somebody that could pick anywhere he wants to go

313
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:27.879
<v Speaker 2>to school. He chose BYU, and there are some reports

314
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:31.480
<v Speaker 2>that he got up to seven million dollars to go

315
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:33.679
<v Speaker 2>to BYU, And if that's the case, then you know

316
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.840
<v Speaker 2>it makes sense. I'm sure there's no other school that

317
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:40.279
<v Speaker 2>is willing to pay seven million dollars for one basketball

318
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 2>player who is clearly good is going to give you

319
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.440
<v Speaker 2>a nice brand bump because he chose your school, but

320
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.080
<v Speaker 2>like he's only going to be there one year, I

321
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.000
<v Speaker 2>would imagine, So, BYU, if they've got that money, then

322
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, good for them now. I also don't know

323
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.080
<v Speaker 2>if that number is real or not, because I think

324
00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:00.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot of these numbers you hear about recruits as

325
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.320
<v Speaker 2>far as what they're getting from nil or I think

326
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>it's exaggerated. But coaches that are pursuing a player of

327
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:13.200
<v Speaker 2>this caliber that usually does that usually has a pretty

328
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>good success rate, right the Dukes, the Kentucky's, the I

329
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.159
<v Speaker 2>guess the arkansass now, and I guess more than anything,

330
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:23.759
<v Speaker 2>it's Cali Perry Bill self. I mean, think about all

331
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>the think about the programs who always get really not

332
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:30.080
<v Speaker 2>anybody they want, but they don't miss often, right, and

333
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:32.480
<v Speaker 2>if they lose a player, it's usually to another one

334
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:35.480
<v Speaker 2>of those programs I just mentioned, because you typically see

335
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.360
<v Speaker 2>the best players in the country go to the same schools,

336
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:41.279
<v Speaker 2>not all the time. Certainly this isn't what happened here. BYU,

337
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean they're in the first year of their new

338
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:45.080
<v Speaker 2>head coach, which, by the way, he's a guy that

339
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.080
<v Speaker 2>apparently people think has a bright future. But you know

340
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.840
<v Speaker 2>this is random, right, so the money makes total sense.

341
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.440
<v Speaker 2>But if you are somebody like a Bill Self or

342
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.480
<v Speaker 2>a John Calipari or a John Shire, like, it makes

343
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.240
<v Speaker 2>sense for you to add a million to that number

344
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.000
<v Speaker 2>every time it comes up, because they'll make it make

345
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.279
<v Speaker 2>sense as to why you didn't lose a recruit. You

346
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.919
<v Speaker 2>just couldn't justify the money and nobody would pay that

347
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.960
<v Speaker 2>like that that's going to happen. And again, the nil

348
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:13.000
<v Speaker 2>world being such a mystery, it gives these coaches the

349
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.879
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to at times sort of spin it in whatever

350
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 2>way makes them look less bad. You know. For example,

351
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:22.759
<v Speaker 2>like when Mark Mark Stoops lost to Georgia last year

352
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:24.879
<v Speaker 2>by a billion, that's when he made the pony up

353
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 2>comment like, hey, if you guys don't like losing, why

354
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>don't you pony up and give us money? We can

355
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:30.440
<v Speaker 2>go get those kind of players. And now clearly that

356
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:34.200
<v Speaker 2>backfired on him. Is that's really snowball for him. But

357
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.919
<v Speaker 2>you know you can you can do that when it

358
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:42.039
<v Speaker 2>comes to a big time amount of money coming in

359
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:43.600
<v Speaker 2>from a certain school and if you lose them, you

360
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:45.120
<v Speaker 2>can say, well what are you gonna do? Maybe maybe

361
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you don't blame your fans, but you can just say, hey,

362
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.039
<v Speaker 2>we didn't lose them, we just we couldn't pay that.

363
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.320
<v Speaker 2>But then there's also some schools like Ryan Day at

364
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State. You know he is, he's somebody that there's

365
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:58.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it's all out there. They put every

366
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:01.639
<v Speaker 2>dime they could round up into building maybe their best

367
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:03.679
<v Speaker 2>roster they've ever had at Ohio State. They went out

368
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:05.960
<v Speaker 2>and hired Chip Kelly to be the OC. Ryan Day

369
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.599
<v Speaker 2>makes a ton of money as it is, and they

370
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.480
<v Speaker 2>don't have a lot to show for it right now.

371
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:13.640
<v Speaker 2>That's why I think if they end up losing in

372
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:15.799
<v Speaker 2>the first round of this college football playoff, like, I

373
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:16.920
<v Speaker 2>don't know how he survives.

374
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:17.640
<v Speaker 3>I really don't.

375
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.359
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, I bring up the big time recruit here

376
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:24.920
<v Speaker 2>going to Byu, the number one player in America. I

377
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:26.960
<v Speaker 2>think this is one of the few examples to where

378
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:32.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, you have a really unexpected, never before seen

379
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.359
<v Speaker 2>commitment from a kid and it's just because of money. Now,

380
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to act like, well, okay, I will.

381
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:44.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, let's say everybody has the same level of money.

382
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if Byu is getting this kid over

383
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:50.519
<v Speaker 2>other schools. Now, maybe I'm wrong because again the I

384
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:52.680
<v Speaker 2>think it's Kevin Young is the coach of BYU. He's

385
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I think a former assistant coach with the Phoenix Suns.

386
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Like he's got a lot of connections in the NBA.

387
00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:59.440
<v Speaker 2>That's where he came from. And you know, maybe he

388
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 2>does get it in there at BYU. But you know

389
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.799
<v Speaker 2>there are since since we've been in this new world

390
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.000
<v Speaker 2>where players can jump around from team to team and

391
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.319
<v Speaker 2>money clearly is a big factor and why they you know,

392
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.519
<v Speaker 2>why they decide to go to what school they decide

393
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:15.960
<v Speaker 2>to go to. I still don't know if we've seen

394
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:18.160
<v Speaker 2>like a big time result where you can say, well,

395
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:20.880
<v Speaker 2>here you go, that's what you get when it comes

396
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:24.359
<v Speaker 2>to NIL, like what school has landed? Like I know

397
00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee their young quarterback, like apparently he got an insane

398
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:29.200
<v Speaker 2>amount of money, But Tennessee's Tennessee, Like they're not what

399
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:29.880
<v Speaker 2>they once were.

400
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:32.400
<v Speaker 3>But it's not BYU. When it comes to basketball.

401
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, TCU they made the National Championship Game a

402
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.359
<v Speaker 2>couple of years ago, which still just doesn't seem real.

403
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:40.640
<v Speaker 2>But that had nothing to do with NIL, Like that

404
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:42.559
<v Speaker 2>was just or the poor I mean, I guess the

405
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:44.599
<v Speaker 2>portal did help them, but like that was just random.

406
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I still think Miami making the Final four with Larrenega,

407
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:50.839
<v Speaker 2>which certainly will be his last Final four as Miami

408
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:53.519
<v Speaker 2>stinks out loud this year again. But when they made

409
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:55.400
<v Speaker 2>the Final four and they went out and bought Nigel

410
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.319
<v Speaker 2>Pack and I can't think of the young man's name

411
00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:00.480
<v Speaker 2>who spent a couple of years at Miami and now

412
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:02.720
<v Speaker 2>he's a Baylor big guy who started his career at

413
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.279
<v Speaker 2>Arkansas State. Nor chatte Mere is his name. Like that

414
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.480
<v Speaker 2>to me is like the only result I can think. Okay, well, yeah,

415
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.240
<v Speaker 2>they had a big time in il Booster and he

416
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:14.480
<v Speaker 2>was I mean, he was the one putting out contracts

417
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:16.119
<v Speaker 2>as far as how much money these guys were making,

418
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.559
<v Speaker 2>putting it all out there for everybody to see. And

419
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:20.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, without those two players, it's hard to imagine

420
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:22.559
<v Speaker 2>them making a final four. So like they bought a

421
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:24.680
<v Speaker 2>duo that got them to a final four. Other than that,

422
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.799
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to, you know, the ultimate accomplishment in

423
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.599
<v Speaker 2>college sports, like winning national championships, making runs to the

424
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.119
<v Speaker 2>final four, making it to the college football Playoff, you know,

425
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.559
<v Speaker 2>I really don't know if we've seen somebody be able

426
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:40.799
<v Speaker 2>to use these new you know, these new ways to

427
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.400
<v Speaker 2>build your roster with guys being able to leave and

428
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.559
<v Speaker 2>have free agency and money. Like I don't know if

429
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.039
<v Speaker 2>we've had a huge payoff just yet for somebody, but again,

430
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.599
<v Speaker 2>I think the number one player in America choosing to

431
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.079
<v Speaker 2>go to BYU to play basketball. I think that's that's

432
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:55.960
<v Speaker 2>one of the few examples that we have at this point.

433
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break, we'll take a we'll come back

434
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:00.000
<v Speaker 2>on the other side, and not a whole lot of

435
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:01.519
<v Speaker 2>time left here before we wrap it up, but a

436
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:03.119
<v Speaker 2>lot I want to get into. We do have an

437
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:05.960
<v Speaker 2>opening spread here in this UTEP Louisville game tomorrow night,

438
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Louisville favored by fourteen and a half points. And also

439
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:13.640
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the to Louisville's roster for next

440
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:17.920
<v Speaker 2>year in football, I really do believe that you can

441
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.319
<v Speaker 2>go out and get really, really good players, and maybe

442
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:24.519
<v Speaker 2>you build a roster in the portal that is so

443
00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:27.720
<v Speaker 2>impressive that everybody's got your preseason top fifteen or something

444
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:29.319
<v Speaker 2>like that. I'm not saying that happens, but like it

445
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>could happen. But I still think there's no scenario where

446
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.279
<v Speaker 2>the biggest win for Louisville this offseason is not getting

447
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.839
<v Speaker 2>back Isaac Brown and Duke Watson and those guys, as

448
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:44.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, had really impressive freshman seasons. But I think

449
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.160
<v Speaker 2>there's some numbers here that may make you realize they

450
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:48.920
<v Speaker 2>were probably even more special than you realize.

451
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:49.680
<v Speaker 3>So well, get to all that.

452
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:52.079
<v Speaker 2>And on the Kentucky side, I know that they feel

453
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:54.640
<v Speaker 2>like flipping their roster in the portal is what's going

454
00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 2>to get them heading.

455
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:56.119
<v Speaker 3>In the right direction.

456
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.400
<v Speaker 2>But man, they're losing everybody, and I know they don't

457
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:02.720
<v Speaker 2>believe that all these guys were like a cancer to

458
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:05.000
<v Speaker 2>the locker room. So getting rid of talented players that

459
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:07.599
<v Speaker 2>other schools are going to want, Yeah, that's how Stoops

460
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.319
<v Speaker 2>is gonna get it fixed. I mean, I hope you

461
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:12.279
<v Speaker 2>can sense the starcass in there right quick break, don't

462
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:12.720
<v Speaker 2>go anywhere.

463
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Take it to six o'clock right here. Coffee company, feel

464
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:24.359
<v Speaker 3>my Thoorts on Sports Talk seven ninety.

465

<v Speaker 1>Your listing does coffee in company with Nick Coffee on

466
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 1>Sports Talk seven ninety.

467
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.160
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Coffee and company rolling along here on a

468
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:39.079
<v Speaker 2>gloomy in Chili Tuesday evening. I can never find my

469
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:43.359
<v Speaker 2>footing whenever it comes to unnecessarily telling you what time

470
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:44.640
<v Speaker 2>of the day it is. I don't know if it's

471
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:47.519
<v Speaker 2>just something that has been emphasized so much in live broadcasting,

472
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.799
<v Speaker 2>but like, you guys know what time of the day

473
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:48.960
<v Speaker 2>it is.

474
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:49.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't need to tell you.

475
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:51.720
<v Speaker 2>But yet I'm like, and it's it's a it's a

476
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:55.599
<v Speaker 2>Tuesday afternoon, but like it's dark outside and it's cold,

477
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:58.000
<v Speaker 2>and it doesn't feel like afternoon. It feels like evening,

478
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:01.920
<v Speaker 2>which we did get random warmer weather the last couple

479
00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:04.720
<v Speaker 2>of days, but it looks like the cooler temperatures are

480
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:08.160
<v Speaker 2>on the way, which is you know, is a sad

481
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:10.240
<v Speaker 2>thing for a lot of people because they hate cold weather.

482
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:14.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind cold weather as much as as others.

483
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:16.920
<v Speaker 2>But I guess I'm getting soft because I now find

484
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:19.920
<v Speaker 2>myself just being miserable. But a lot of it is

485
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:22.200
<v Speaker 2>because my heat in my car is not working well.

486
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.039
<v Speaker 2>It's working but not working well. I can't blame autos

487
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:26.640
<v Speaker 2>on for this one. This is something that I don't

488
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:28.960
<v Speaker 2>know what led to this, but I am taking it

489
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:31.359
<v Speaker 2>to get looked at on Thursday, so hopefully they get

490
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:34.000
<v Speaker 2>that they get that figured out for me. But anyways,

491
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:37.480
<v Speaker 2>it's Tuesday, it's five thirty four. If you did not know,

492
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.200
<v Speaker 2>now you do. Also, Fellas, if you did not know

493
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:43.200
<v Speaker 2>about bluetoo, let me tell you about bluecho because blue

494
00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Choo is something that cannot only make something that you

495
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:50.119
<v Speaker 2>probably already enjoy even better. And I'm talking about sex.

496
00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:51.079
<v Speaker 3>Sex.

497
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:54.920
<v Speaker 2>It's not just for those that you know might need

498
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:57.400
<v Speaker 2>a little extra off in the bedroom. It's also for

499
00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:59.279
<v Speaker 2>those who just want to have a better experience, not

500
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:02.440
<v Speaker 2>only for themselves but for their partner. And you don't

501
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 2>have to go to the doctor have that awkward conversation.

502
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:09.359
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to you know, it's it's totally discreet,

503
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:12.160
<v Speaker 2>and it's in it. I know there's a stigma. There's

504
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:18.000
<v Speaker 2>there's clearly a line that fellas are unwilling to cross

505
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:20.160
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to like acknowledging that they would take

506
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:22.759
<v Speaker 2>some kind of an enhancement thing when it comes to

507
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:25.720
<v Speaker 2>the bedroom, because they want people to know that they.

508
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Don't need any help.

509
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:29.160
<v Speaker 2>They're manly men, and like, I get it, I understand

510
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:31.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm a man to but don't think about it that way.

511
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Think about it as making the experience better for you

512
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:35.319
<v Speaker 2>and your partner, which again is I've been saying for

513
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:37.119
<v Speaker 2>months now it's going to lead to you likely getting

514
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.559
<v Speaker 2>more opportunities to you know, have the sex.

515
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:42.160
<v Speaker 3>So the Bluetoo product has.

516
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:44.440

00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:46.440
<v Speaker 2>get it at a fraction of the cost. All you

531
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:20.480
<v Speaker 2>not a quarterback for Louisville just yet. But the quarterback

532
00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:23.599
<v Speaker 2>that Louisville, I guess more than anything Jeff brom is

533
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.440
<v Speaker 2>pursuing in the transfer portal is Miller Moss We've talked

534
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:27.880
<v Speaker 2>about him here and there over the last couple of

535
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:30.359
<v Speaker 2>weeks because he hit the portal, you know, before it

536
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.039
<v Speaker 2>actually opened up, and it didn't take long for Louislle

537
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.000
<v Speaker 2>to be one of the schools that was reportedly involved.

538
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.079
<v Speaker 2>And he is going to be in town for a

539
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:42.880
<v Speaker 2>visit and it looks like it will start. It's actually

540
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:44.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he's here right now, but the

541
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 2>visit is expected to start at some point today. Maybe

542
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:48.680
<v Speaker 2>he's already here, maybe he's listening. If so, what's up,

543
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Miller Moss. I didn't have anything prepared to make a

544
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.200
<v Speaker 2>pitch for you, but hopefully you are enjoying yourself in Louisville.

545
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:57.200
<v Speaker 2>And if Jeff Brown thinks that you're good enough to

546
00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:59.240
<v Speaker 2>be the quarterback here a Louisville, then that's fine by me.

547
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.319
<v Speaker 2>But he he's going to be visiting until Friday. Uh

548
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.880
<v Speaker 2>and he also recently visited Early Missouri earlier this week,

549
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.119
<v Speaker 2>so you know, we'll see if, if, if Jeff can

550
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.119
<v Speaker 2>get the job done. And I know that he did

551
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:16.400
<v Speaker 2>get benched at and this is this is not I mean,

552
00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:18.200
<v Speaker 2>I wish I had something better here, but I just

553
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:20.480
<v Speaker 2>don't want to lie to you like, I understand looking

554
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:22.920
<v Speaker 2>at Miller Moss as a guy who couldn't you know,

555
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:26.200
<v Speaker 2>he didn't get on the field at USC until he

556
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:27.720
<v Speaker 2>played low fl in a bowl game last year. But

557
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:29.079
<v Speaker 2>it's because of the guys that were in front of him,

558
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:31.039
<v Speaker 2>and there were certain guys that transferred because they knew

559
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 2>he was up next, he was going to be after

560
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Caleb Williams. And this year, you know, he got benched,

561
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:37.759
<v Speaker 2>and that's never a good sign to go get a

562
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:40.279
<v Speaker 2>quarterback who couldn't keep the job for a guy like

563
00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Lincoln Riley, who's also known to be a very, very

564
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:45.799
<v Speaker 2>big time offensive mind when it comes to college football.

565
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:49.319
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, I trust Jeff bram If he thinks

566
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:50.920
<v Speaker 2>the guy is good enough and he's got the goods,

567
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:54.039
<v Speaker 2>then then that's fine by me. And last year I

568
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:59.119
<v Speaker 2>think fans, understandably so were a little hesitant to I

569
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:00.720
<v Speaker 2>don't want to say they were head tant to trust

570
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Brohm. But Jack Plumber, you know, he wasn't great,

571
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:09.039
<v Speaker 2>He was good enough, But I think Plumber was one

572
00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:10.839
<v Speaker 2>of the and this is there's no way to say

573
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.759
<v Speaker 2>this without its sounding mean, but it's just the truth.

574
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Jack Plumber was probably one of the weak links of

575
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:18.720
<v Speaker 2>the team. Now that team also went ten into in

576
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the regular season. It was pretty damn good. But like

577
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:23.119
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't great. Jeff brom won ten games in his

578
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:25.640
<v Speaker 2>first year and quarterback play was nowhere near one of

579
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:27.839
<v Speaker 2>the strings of the team. That's just not something people expected.

580
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:29.880
<v Speaker 2>So for him to go out and get Tyler Shuck,

581
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 2>a guy who also was a veteran, who had never

582
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:34.720
<v Speaker 2>really had a season where he looked great.

583
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:36.319
<v Speaker 3>Schuck was mostly due to injury.

584
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:38.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, we were just we were forced to trust

585
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Jeff and we did and sure enough, Tyler Schuck was

586
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:44.319
<v Speaker 2>pretty damn good. So, I mean, I trust him more

587
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:45.880
<v Speaker 2>so now than I did a year ago after what

588
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:47.839
<v Speaker 2>happened with Shuck. And you know, there may be a

589
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:49.519
<v Speaker 2>time where he goes through the portal and it doesn't

590
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:52.079
<v Speaker 2>work out. But until that happens, I'm going to assume

591
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:54.599
<v Speaker 2>that he's he's still got an eye for talent when

592
00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:56.960
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the quarterback position, and if he can

593
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.400
<v Speaker 2>get Miller Moss, then you know, I'm I'm I'm looking

594
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.799
<v Speaker 2>at that as a win. But yes, his visit has

595
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:08.200
<v Speaker 2>started and he'll be here until Friday.

596
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:11.839
<v Speaker 3>It's a long visit. But hey, that the longer he stays, maybe.

597
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:14.119
<v Speaker 2>The more, uh, the more he'll be in love with

598
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:15.720
<v Speaker 2>this place and want to and want to stick around

599
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:17.799
<v Speaker 2>for you know, however many years he's got loved to

600
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.640
<v Speaker 2>be eligibility Now. I said this before we went to break.

601
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:24.839
<v Speaker 2>No matter what you do in the portal, I'm not

602
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:27.680
<v Speaker 2>sure there's going to be anything in the off season

603
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.200
<v Speaker 2>as far as your roster that would be a bigger

604
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.960
<v Speaker 2>win for you than retaining and keeping around Duke Quadson

605
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:36.880
<v Speaker 2>and Isaac Brown. I've seen nothing that would indicate those

606
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:39.440
<v Speaker 2>guys are not going to be here next year. But

607
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:41.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm also not afraid to say, like, yeah, you know,

608
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:46.680
<v Speaker 2>anything can happen, anything can change. And you know, there

609
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:49.079
<v Speaker 2>were some people in the text line whenever I said

610
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:50.960
<v Speaker 2>that a couple of days ago, or maybe it was

611
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:54.920
<v Speaker 2>last week, that I'm going to take him at their word.

612
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:57.720
<v Speaker 2>But like, you know, I know that in any moment,

613
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:01.119
<v Speaker 2>these guys could could just may get an offer that

614
00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:03.920
<v Speaker 2>they couldn't refuse, or maybe just decide they want to

615
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:05.119
<v Speaker 2>be closer to home or.

616
00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Something like that.

617
00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:08.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I hope that doesn't happen, but a couple

618
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:09.559
<v Speaker 2>of bit on the text line We're like, well, why

619
00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:10.640
<v Speaker 2>won't you take them up their word?

620
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, I am.

621
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:13.160
<v Speaker 2>I just know that like people can change their mind,

622
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:17.960
<v Speaker 2>like it happens. So you know, I'm going to assume

623
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:21.359
<v Speaker 2>that they're here. But like there's a reason I'm saying,

624
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:24.759
<v Speaker 2>no matter what you do, continuing to try to keep

625
00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:26.920
<v Speaker 2>these guys happy. I mean, you don't want to like

626
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:29.759
<v Speaker 2>annoy them and pester them. But if it was me

627
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:32.119
<v Speaker 2>and I knew, if I was the head coach and

628
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:35.359
<v Speaker 2>I knew how special these two young running backs I had,

629
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:36.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it would be hard for me not to

630
00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:38.200
<v Speaker 2>every day say, hey, you good, you need anything, let

631
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:40.000
<v Speaker 2>me know, you know, any anything I can do for you,

632
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:42.440
<v Speaker 2>anything I can do to make you happier than you

633
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:45.039
<v Speaker 2>already are, because I value you. I mean, I'm sure

634
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:46.640
<v Speaker 2>that's not how it works, but if it did, it

635
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:48.519
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't shock me because that's how good these guys are.

636
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.359
<v Speaker 2>So keeping Duke Watson and Isaac Brown, you know, if

637
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:53.759
<v Speaker 2>that ends up happening, that's huge.

638
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:56.079
<v Speaker 3>It's absolutely huge.

639
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:59.839
<v Speaker 2>And we all watched those two guys and we watched

640
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:02.799
<v Speaker 2>how special they were, especially Isaac. Whenever you know, it

641
00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:04.640
<v Speaker 2>became clear they were going to rely on him, a

642
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:05.279
<v Speaker 2>lot more than.

643
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:06.039
<v Speaker 3>Really anybody else.

644
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:08.200
<v Speaker 2>But to see Duke Watson then emerge as a guy

645
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:11.079
<v Speaker 2>that was also really really effective, I mean, it was

646
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:13.680
<v Speaker 2>awesome to see. And Pro Football Focus, I'm sure some

647
00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:16.200
<v Speaker 2>of you're familiar with that. That's an analytic website that

648
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:20.240
<v Speaker 2>grades every single snap of football played at the college level,

649
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:24.480
<v Speaker 2>at the NFL level, and Isaac Brown, no surprise, graded

650
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:27.920
<v Speaker 2>out as the best true freshman running back in college football.

651
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:30.559
<v Speaker 2>In fact, there were only two players that graded out

652
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:34.119
<v Speaker 2>better than him, and one of them was a freshman

653
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:36.640
<v Speaker 2>at Texas. The other one was a freshman at Minnesota,

654
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:38.279
<v Speaker 2>and I believe both of those guys were a lineman,

655
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I believe, so not a surprise to see that he

656
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.279
<v Speaker 2>was graded at as the best running back in the country.

657
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.119
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to just analytics, I mean, the numbers

658
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:50.480
<v Speaker 2>tell you that as far in your eyeballs probably would

659
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 2>tell you that. But like, he was really really effective

660
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.000
<v Speaker 2>throughout ever, really every not to say he didn't make mistakes,

661
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:59.680
<v Speaker 2>but I mean he I mean he was from the jump.

662
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:01.839
<v Speaker 2>Was there ever a moment where you saw Isaac Brown

663
00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:05.200
<v Speaker 2>and thought, uh, oh, like guys got some upside. Maybe

664
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:07.039
<v Speaker 2>in a couple of years he'll be good, but right

665
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:09.359
<v Speaker 2>now we can't really rely on him because he's a freshman.

666
00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:11.759
<v Speaker 2>Even when he fumbled against Miami and the end zone,

667
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:14.079
<v Speaker 2>it didn't make me think that we shouldn't keep giving

668
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:18.200
<v Speaker 2>him the ball repeatedly. And then Duke Watson, this isn't

669
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:20.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is another really impressive stat that I

670
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:25.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know if people are aware of. He ranks number

671
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:29.640
<v Speaker 2>one in the nation in yards per carry at nine.

672
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:33.880
<v Speaker 2>So in twelve game regular season, he averaged nine point

673
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:37.039
<v Speaker 2>zero two yards per carry, which is number one in

674
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:38.720
<v Speaker 2>the country. And again you have to keep in mind

675
00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:43.599
<v Speaker 2>that is I mean, that's not I mean, he didn't

676
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:46.839
<v Speaker 2>get maybe the most mean, he clearly didn't get the

677
00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:49.440
<v Speaker 2>most carries, even on his own team, But you don't

678
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:52.160
<v Speaker 2>qualify for this stat unless you're getting, you know, a

679
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:54.799
<v Speaker 2>significant amount of carries. So you know, some will say

680
00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:57.319
<v Speaker 2>maybe that stat's a little misleading because the average is

681
00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:58.799
<v Speaker 2>skewed because he didn't get.

682
00:30:58.640 --> 00:30:59.400
<v Speaker 3>A ton of carries.

683
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he didn't, but he also got enough to

684
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:06.000
<v Speaker 2>where he still can qualify. And man, these guys are

685
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:08.839
<v Speaker 2>are special, really really special.

686
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:10.920
<v Speaker 3>And Louisville this year.

687
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:12.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm to the point now where I can look back

688
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:15.720
<v Speaker 2>at numbers and just think, Okay, we got some good

689
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:17.039
<v Speaker 2>momentum here.

690
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:18.079
<v Speaker 3>We're heading in the right direction.

691
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Man.

692
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Brohm entering year three, Maybe this is the Maybe

693
00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:23.480
<v Speaker 2>this is the really really special season. You know, there

694
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:24.519
<v Speaker 2>was a part of me that I thought if I

695
00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:26.240
<v Speaker 2>would go back and look at how good this team

696
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:29.960
<v Speaker 2>was and how much better the record probably should have been,

697
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:31.119
<v Speaker 2>that it would have given me, it would give me

698
00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:34.880
<v Speaker 2>like PTSD make me sad that's not happened. I mean, yes,

699
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:37.240
<v Speaker 2>we still should have never lost to Stanford, and you know,

700
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:39.480
<v Speaker 2>you had wins that were there for you against really

701
00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:42.359
<v Speaker 2>good teams, like we all know that. But I think

702
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:44.839
<v Speaker 2>more than anything, it just speaks to the momentum that

703
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:48.039
<v Speaker 2>you have and they'll learn from it. I mean, Jeff's

704
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:50.440
<v Speaker 2>still gonna make mistakes, He's gonna lose games, but I

705
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:52.519
<v Speaker 2>bet this was a really valuable year for Jeff Brohm

706
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.240
<v Speaker 2>as a head coach because there's nobody that is probably

707
00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:59.559
<v Speaker 2>bothered by these losses more than him. So right now, Louisville,

708
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:02.200
<v Speaker 2>they're the the longest active streak of scoring at least

709
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:04.920
<v Speaker 2>thirty points in a game. They are second with six

710
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:07.079
<v Speaker 2>straight games of doing that, with Notre Dame being at

711
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:11.000
<v Speaker 2>number one with eight or let's switch gears really quickly

712
00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:14.079
<v Speaker 2>to the Kentucky side of things, because they're losing guys

713
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:17.240
<v Speaker 2>left and right in the portal. And you know, you

714
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:19.640
<v Speaker 2>hear from from Mark Stoops at the end of the season,

715
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:21.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, at least towards the end of the season,

716
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:23.680
<v Speaker 2>and you got the sense that that's what he wanted,

717
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:26.119
<v Speaker 2>right because he wanted to kind of rebuild the roster

718
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:28.799
<v Speaker 2>and start over and really kind of do a culture

719
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:33.519
<v Speaker 2>reset with the program. But right now they have there's

720
00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:35.920
<v Speaker 2>only one program in the country that has or one

721
00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:37.799
<v Speaker 2>power for program in the country that has more guys

722
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:40.960
<v Speaker 2>in the portal than Kentucky. Kentucky has nineteen, in Arkansas

723
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:45.720
<v Speaker 2>has twenty one. And I mean, I'm not trying to

724
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:49.359
<v Speaker 2>pile on I mean, maybe I am, but I just

725
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:51.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know how Mark Stoops could.

726
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Pitch to his fans that.

727
00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:57.680
<v Speaker 2>The amount of guys they're losing, but more than anything

728
00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:59.720
<v Speaker 2>of who they're losing is like a good thing for

729
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:04.440
<v Speaker 2>the p I mean, you're losing Keyshawn Silver, a former

730
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:05.440
<v Speaker 2>five star player.

731
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:06.680
<v Speaker 3>We know you're.

732
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Losing Dane Key and Barrian Brown, talented receivers I mean,

733
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:15.319
<v Speaker 2>you're losing Jordan Dingle, a really good tight end. I mean,

734
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:17.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm just looking through the list here. Some of these

735
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:19.279
<v Speaker 2>guys I'm not super familiar with, but Chip train them

736
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:21.039
<v Speaker 2>a running back who came in from Ohio State who

737
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:22.599
<v Speaker 2>did not play a lot this year because of injury.

738
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:24.799
<v Speaker 2>But he's gonna have options to go a lot of places.

739
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:27.160
<v Speaker 2>So when you see all these guys leaving going to

740
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:30.359
<v Speaker 2>programs that, like, you know, are better than you, I

741
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:32.119
<v Speaker 2>just don't know how you're gonna be able to process

742
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:35.079
<v Speaker 2>this as we'll be better next year. Your schedule is

743
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:39.359
<v Speaker 2>going to be more difficult probably, and you're gonna have

744
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:43.440
<v Speaker 2>significantly less talent. And talent doesn't always win. Kentucky learned

745
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:45.160
<v Speaker 2>that this year they were a way more talented team

746
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:47.599
<v Speaker 2>than the one and seven record. They had an sec play,

747
00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:50.000
<v Speaker 2>but like, you still have to have some dudes. And

748
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:52.960
<v Speaker 2>when you see, you know who they've got coming into

749
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:54.759
<v Speaker 2>the portal, doesn't you know maybe they end up being

750
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:58.519
<v Speaker 2>perfect fits for Mark Stoops's culture and the style and whatnot.

751
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:02.880
<v Speaker 2>But you know, a football fan base that has been

752
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:07.240
<v Speaker 2>real loud and obnoxious about their success, and they've exaggerated

753
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:09.880
<v Speaker 2>substantially what that success level is. They've been doing that

754
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:11.360
<v Speaker 2>for a few years now. Louisville fans have had to

755
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:13.400
<v Speaker 2>sit back and listen to it. But I feel like

756
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:16.440
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna be real quiet about football for you know,

757
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:18.559
<v Speaker 2>at least for the foreseeable future, because I don't really

758
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:20.480
<v Speaker 2>know what they can point to that would make them

759
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:22.800
<v Speaker 2>think that they're gonna get this thing turned around under

760
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:26.239
<v Speaker 2>Mark Stoops, I just don't all right, quick break, we'll

761
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:27.679
<v Speaker 2>come back on the other side, wrap this thing up

762
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:29.320
<v Speaker 2>at his Coffee and Company and we are fuel bouth.

763
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

764
00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're listening to Coffee and Company with Nick Coffee

765
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:50.039
<v Speaker 1>on Sports Talk seven ninety.

766
00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:54.239
<v Speaker 2>Very little time left here before we get out of here.

767
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:59.039
<v Speaker 2>But some tough news that really doesn't relate to Louisville

768
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:05.239
<v Speaker 2>that much. But Tucker Devrees the West Virginia swingman, the

769
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:08.480
<v Speaker 2>guy who came to West Virginia with his father who

770
00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:12.920
<v Speaker 2>became the head coach, who left Drake he was Was

771
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:15.920
<v Speaker 2>it against Louisville or is it the game before he

772
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:19.159
<v Speaker 2>played Louisville where I remember him having a really big

773
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:20.880
<v Speaker 2>game in the Bahamas, But I don't remember if it

774
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:22.360
<v Speaker 2>was against Louisville, was against Gonzaga.

775
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:23.599
<v Speaker 3>Either way, he's a really good player.

776
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:27.480
<v Speaker 2>He's now out for the indefinite future, meaning like I

777
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:29.039
<v Speaker 2>don't know if he's gonna play again this year. And

778
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:30.599
<v Speaker 2>if you're wondering, you know, why in the hell do

779
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:32.960
<v Speaker 2>we care about that? Well, you know, Louisville has one

780
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:35.079
<v Speaker 2>quad one win right now, and it's against West Virginia

781
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:37.840
<v Speaker 2>and they need to stay where they are or maybe

782
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.199
<v Speaker 2>get better for you to feel comfortable that could still

783
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:41.599
<v Speaker 2>be a quad one win at the end of the year.

784
00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:45.559
<v Speaker 2>So not a good sign, but hey, you know, maybe

785
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:48.159
<v Speaker 2>West Virginia ends up being competitive and maybe Louisill ends

786
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:50.320
<v Speaker 2>up getting some more valuable wins the rest of the way.

787
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:52.480
<v Speaker 2>But that is one that I feel like had a

788
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:54.519
<v Speaker 2>chance to be a decent win, and without him, I

789
00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:56.559
<v Speaker 2>don't know anymore, but I do know. We're out of time.

790
00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Apologies for the real short segment here as we wrap

791
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:00.440
<v Speaker 2>it up, but we're back at it tomorrow and I

792
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:03.639
<v Speaker 2>hope you guys will join us. Enjoy your evening, and again,

793
00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:05.480

00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:15.079
