Speaker 1: It's time for coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick coffee.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get it started. Hour number two here
Speaker 2: on a Monday afternoon coffee and company fuel about Thornton's
Speaker 2: here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Hopefully you had yourselves
Speaker 2: a good weekend. I know I did. Busy weekend went
Speaker 2: by really really fast. But that you know that that's
Speaker 2: usually a good thing. That means I was staying active,
Speaker 2: staying busy.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And Saturday, we went to the the annual Black and
Speaker 2: Yellow Ball. It's part of the Molly Johnson Foundation, one
Speaker 2: of their one of their annual events they have to
Speaker 2: help raise money for families of special needs children. And uh,
Speaker 2: first of all, it's it's an awesome event in the
Speaker 2: organization is uh, you know, it's the first time I've
Speaker 2: really gotten to I mean, I've been to different events
Speaker 2: that are in place to help raise money for great
Speaker 2: causes and all that stuff's great. And I mean, like
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes even if people are out there doing
Speaker 2: things because they want to be able to show, hey,
Speaker 2: look at me, I'm doing all this and I'll for
Speaker 2: you know, to help like either way because I choose
Speaker 2: to believe that there are people who maybe wouldn't be
Speaker 2: out here donating money for certain things and helping great
Speaker 2: causes if they didn't have the ability to have somebody
Speaker 2: film them doing it or post on social media about it.
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: If they're still doing it and donating money and giving
Speaker 2: up their time and helping for great causes, that's a
Speaker 2: great thing. But this is the one that really had
Speaker 2: you know, I'm very close to the foundation here, and
Speaker 2: it worked out where I think it was probably about
Speaker 2: six to seven years ago, maybe a little bit longer
Speaker 2: than that, maybe eight was. I ended up going to
Speaker 2: the event for the first time just because I have
Speaker 2: some friends who are close with the family that started
Speaker 2: the organization, Jojo and Robin, who lost their daughter Molly
Speaker 2: many years ago when she was young, and since then
Speaker 2: they've just they've they've created a foundation that has really
Speaker 2: grown over the years, and they raised so much money
Speaker 2: to help families who have special needs children when there's
Speaker 2: things that come up that insurance isn't going to cover,
Speaker 2: or you know, maybe maybe you we could get you
Speaker 2: a wheelchair ramp that could help make life a little
Speaker 2: easy for you getting in and out of the house
Speaker 2: with your child and things like that. And you know,
Speaker 2: at the time, I mean I remember really just kind
Speaker 2: of hearing their story, hearing Jojo talk about Molly and
Speaker 2: the event itself. I mean, they each and every year
Speaker 2: they kind of highlight all that they do, which which
Speaker 2: is great, and it really, you know, it hit me
Speaker 2: and I at the time, I had a daughter. My
Speaker 2: daughter was a baby, very young. If anything, she might
Speaker 2: have been too, but I don't even think she was
Speaker 2: that old. And I had no clue at the time
Speaker 2: where I that I was going to be the father
Speaker 2: of a special needs child and that my daughter would have,
Speaker 2: you know, have her diagnosis intellectually disabled and severely autistic.
Speaker 2: So to kind of have the realization that that was
Speaker 2: going to be our life and and and you know
Speaker 2: that that's that's what it is, you know, not not easy,
Speaker 2: but to kind of have already had kind of that
Speaker 2: experience being around people who who also had a special
Speaker 2: needs child and unfortunately they lost their daughter, but to
Speaker 2: see all the great things they've done and and just
Speaker 2: to kind of, I guess, more than anything, be around
Speaker 2: the special needs community, those that have special needs brothers,
Speaker 2: sisters or children, you know it. I think a lot
Speaker 2: of things in life are about timing. In fact, it's everything.
Speaker 2: It's kind of how I view the world, good bad,
Speaker 2: you know, you chalk it up to timing wasn't right
Speaker 2: or man timing couldn't have worked out better. That's just
Speaker 2: kind of how I've It's kind of how I viewed things,
Speaker 2: and I feel like meeting them when I did, and
Speaker 2: things kind of playing out for me the way they
Speaker 2: did like that. I don't think that's by coincidence. I
Speaker 2: don't think that's random. So we had the event on
Speaker 2: set Saturday and a great turnout, a lot of money raised,
Speaker 2: and was was a was a really really good time.
Speaker 2: In fact, such a good time that I was telling
Speaker 2: Austin before the show started today, like kind I kind
Speaker 2: of feel like I'm riding a two day hangover. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm not hungover as we speak, and usually once once
Speaker 2: the show gets going, uh and the energies there, I'm
Speaker 2: good and I'm good now. And it would be an
Speaker 2: exaggeration to say that I was hungover for two days.
Speaker 2: But you know, the brain fog didn't really fade today.
Speaker 2: Yesterday was a day of kind of just you know, recovering,
Speaker 2: watching football, kind of laying low. And this morning I
Speaker 2: got up and I had to had to get the
Speaker 2: kids out of the house, had to take my daughter
Speaker 2: Maya to speech therapy and take Moose to daycare, and
Speaker 2: you know, I was up and at it, but man,
Speaker 2: I hit a wall around lunchtime. Like man, I think
Speaker 2: I'm still kind of recovering from from a from a
Speaker 2: long but awesome night of party and having a good
Speaker 2: time and right all for all for a good cause.
Speaker 2: And we got to dress up. I don't really dress
Speaker 2: up often because dude, you look sharp, thank you. And
Speaker 2: the Mercedes too. Yep, we uh we. It's a really
Speaker 2: easy event to to find clothes that work, at least
Speaker 2: I believe it is because it's it's called the Black
Speaker 2: and Yellow Bil. Therefore everybody there wears black and yellow
Speaker 2: and most people just have like a black suit or
Speaker 2: you know, but I have a yellow shirt that that
Speaker 2: complimented my shoes really well. So this year was easy.
Speaker 2: I just wore my suit but it had a yellow
Speaker 2: had a yellow shirt to wear with it, and I
Speaker 2: went with the the black and yellow Nike dunks, which
Speaker 2: which compliment which worked perfect. You know, wearing tennis shoes
Speaker 2: with a with the suit kind of felt weird, but
Speaker 2: you know, off, yeah, other people were doing it too,
Speaker 2: and I kind of feel like, you know, there are
Speaker 2: it's I don't know when when it switched, and I
Speaker 2: would be the last person to talk style with anybody,
Speaker 2: but that is kind of now a thing, you know,
Speaker 2: because I thought to myself, hey, that'll look ridiculous wearing
Speaker 2: tennis shoes with it. But like if you I guess
Speaker 2: it really depends on sort of the event, Like if
Speaker 2: I would say, like wedding, funeral, like you're probably rarely
Speaker 2: going to see anybody throwing on tennis shoes with the suit.
Speaker 2: But if you watch like TV now like style in
Speaker 2: that way, like people who are on set for ESPN
Speaker 2: or five, like more often than not they're wearing athletic
Speaker 2: shoes with their suit. And that became, you know, first
Speaker 2: of all, way more comfortable than wearing dress shoes because
Speaker 2: those are the most uncomfortable things ever.
Speaker 4: But yeah, you put the fun back in fundraiser.
Speaker 2: I like being able to like Derby, and that event
Speaker 2: is when I really actually you know, dress up. Now
Speaker 2: if I go to a wedding, I don't wear a
Speaker 2: suit necessarily, but usually I got to wear something pretty
Speaker 2: formal for a wedding. But I don't go to that
Speaker 2: many weddings, So if it's just two times a year
Speaker 2: where I got to find something nice to wear, I
Speaker 2: actually think that's actually enjoy that. In fact, I ran
Speaker 2: into you where was it we were getting ready for
Speaker 2: Derby Il. Yeah, that's right, randomly ran into austin it
Speaker 2: Coles as we're both kind of scrambling, and I think
Speaker 2: we were both looked day before. We were both looking
Speaker 2: for one specific random thing to like compliment our outfit
Speaker 2: that makes sense.
Speaker 4: Tie it all together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it it worked out, but yeah, good weekend.
Speaker 4: I forgot.
Speaker 2: I'm paying for it. It was random as hell because
Speaker 2: because it was it was the cold that's over by
Speaker 2: Oxmore Mall, which I never ever go there. In fact,
Speaker 2: I think it's the only time I've ever been there,
Speaker 2: and it's got an upstairs and sure enough, there you were,
Speaker 2: I've ran into you.
Speaker 5: Coles has a great return policy too, Yes they do.
Speaker 5: I always have fun with that. Yeah, I mean you
Speaker 5: don't need to own the suit, ain't know, No, don't
Speaker 5: even necessarily need the receipt.
Speaker 4: My people like Coal's they gotcha. They do.
Speaker 2: So I don't buy club mean again, like I usually
Speaker 2: Birthday and Christmas mostly like mostly Christmas. Like my wife
Speaker 2: will know what I would like as far as like
Speaker 2: what to wear, like she's she's got me. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm pretty easy to figure out right, like hoodies, jeans,
Speaker 2: like I don't have some big crazy wardrobe. But I
Speaker 2: oftentimes don't buy myself clothes like I will when I
Speaker 2: feel like I need something or if I see something
Speaker 2: online that I like, like I'll buy clothes, but I
Speaker 2: guess I just never really pay attention to price. And
Speaker 2: it's not because you know, I got money falling up
Speaker 2: my rear in but I just you know, I don't
Speaker 2: buy clothes enough to really know what's considered expensive or
Speaker 2: what's not. And there's certain stores where like where I
Speaker 2: go in there, like if I'm going to Macy's, I
Speaker 2: kind of know I'm probably going to be looking at
Speaker 2: at a steeper price than maybe what I would see
Speaker 2: at a place like Coal's or something. Right, but one
Speaker 2: place that I just could not but like I was,
Speaker 2: I never go there, but I randomly ended up there
Speaker 2: just because I needed to stop. It was it was
Speaker 2: near me. It was Meyer. I went to Meyer to
Speaker 2: get something totally random. Oh yeah, and I saw the
Speaker 2: men's clothes selection and I thought, you know, like I
Speaker 2: would never think to get close here, but man, like this,
Speaker 2: they got a pretty decent selection for dudes. But I
Speaker 2: couldn't believe the price. I'm like, do you realize this
Speaker 2: is Meyer? Like what this?
Speaker 4: That's true?
Speaker 2: This hoodie is fifty nine to ninety nine?
Speaker 4: Like that's true?
Speaker 5: I mean, so walk in there thinking like this is
Speaker 5: a place so you can probably kind of get a discount. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and no, not I mean there.
Speaker 2: I mean I feel like I could go to like
Speaker 2: an actual store, meaning like you know, a store at
Speaker 2: the outlet malls that that you know they only specifically
Speaker 2: sell their brand, and it's a pretty decent brand that
Speaker 2: you know is not going to be like super cheap.
Speaker 2: Like I feel like I could get stuff at a
Speaker 2: place like that cheaper than what I was seeing on
Speaker 2: the racket Mere. Again, maybe it's good quality, but I
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe it's one of those things where everything
Speaker 2: seems to be a lot more expensive than it needs
Speaker 2: to be. I mean that that seems to be where
Speaker 2: we are with the economy. But there's always things that
Speaker 2: randomly I'll purchase and I'll be like, wait a second,
Speaker 2: Like I had no clue rugs were expensive. Oh dude, pillows, yeah,
Speaker 2: trash can. My wife bought a new rug for our
Speaker 2: living room and it's really nice and I like it.
Speaker 2: It's it's a little bigger than the one that we had,
Speaker 2: it's a slightly different color. It complements the floor really
Speaker 2: really well, and you know, I liked it. And she
Speaker 2: was like, well, wouldn't believe what it costs. And I
Speaker 2: was like what And she told me and I was
Speaker 2: like what wows Like, yeah, that's kind of and I'm like,
Speaker 2: wait a second, did you You probably bought some fancy
Speaker 2: food food, Like you probably bought a nice rug that
Speaker 2: we didn't really need. You could have gone cheaper, and
Speaker 2: I didn't. You know, I didn't pick a fight with her,
Speaker 2: but I've then looked it up online of like the
Speaker 2: regular price for any standard rug, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: she wouldn't Kidding's right, rugs, rugs, and blinds, like what,
Speaker 2: like again for what I would have? No, I've never
Speaker 2: purchased them before. Probably won't, you know, because thankfully i've
Speaker 2: you know, usually where I live with my mother, she
Speaker 2: purchased that whenever. You know, when I got married, my
Speaker 2: wife's buying all that kind of stuff. But it's just
Speaker 2: when you have when I have zero experienced buying certain things,
Speaker 2: I guess I really don't know what to expect. But man,
Speaker 2: there's certain random things. I'm like, why would that cost
Speaker 2: that much?
Speaker 5: Now, when Tiffany buys stuff, like if she goes out
Speaker 5: and buys a rug, or if she were to go
Speaker 5: buy like new curtains or something, is she self sustaining?
Speaker 4: Does she do that herself? The oh?
Speaker 5: Or is she the buyer and then she's you take
Speaker 5: care of it since you're the guy.
Speaker 2: No, she she's very much do it herself. She'll I mean,
Speaker 2: in fact, uh, she sitting you here there. Sometimes she
Speaker 2: buys stuff that like I probably would have told her
Speaker 2: we don't need to buy that. And sometimes I'm like,
Speaker 2: because I don't want to like go through the work
Speaker 2: of replacing what she's But but if she's got a
Speaker 2: good radar meeting, if she knows that like I'm gonna
Speaker 2: maybe bitch about having to, you know, pull up the
Speaker 2: couch and move everything in the round so we can
Speaker 2: replace the rugs, She'll just find a way to do
Speaker 2: it herself interesting because she you know, she knows me
Speaker 2: well uh and you know, I'm not a hard gut
Speaker 2: to figure out.
Speaker 5: To be honest, I'll sometimes come home to like a
Speaker 5: new uh uh, like a dresser or like a shoe
Speaker 5: rack or something that's like still in the box, and
Speaker 5: it's like.
Speaker 4: Guess what you get to do today?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: That And gotta be honest, man, that would that wouldn't
Speaker 2: be fun.
Speaker 5: There's like a million screws and there's like, uh, there's
Speaker 5: instructions and I'm like, for for a shoe rack, and
Speaker 5: but I'm just lazy. I'm not a hands on guy ever.
Speaker 5: It never been a hands on guy. Never been a
Speaker 5: fix it guy.
Speaker 4: Never been.
Speaker 5: I've always worked on the buddy system, Like yeah, I'll
Speaker 5: get a buddy to come over and we'll do that.
Speaker 2: I think you and I are probably alike where if
Speaker 2: we did purchase something that wasn't like you know, hey
Speaker 2: this broke, so we need to replace it. If we
Speaker 2: just we knew eventually we were gonna like, for example,
Speaker 2: if we got a rug and this is what we did.
Speaker 2: She got a new rug just because she wanted to
Speaker 2: like ours was a little bit older, but it wasn't
Speaker 2: something like that we needed to replace, right, But like
Speaker 2: if I would have purchased it, it would have just
Speaker 2: set there for like six months not being replaced, because
Speaker 2: you know, I got a parlay to build, honey, Like yeah,
Speaker 2: like come on, like where like you know where my
Speaker 2: priorities are.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to look at the l I U spread
Speaker 5: and you want me to put something important in this house?
Speaker 4: That's a no.
Speaker 2: So you did mention parlays or I mentioned Parlay. You
Speaker 2: told me beforehand you had a good weekend gambling, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5: I had had a fun weekend. Let me, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: find out exactly what it was. And I know, I
Speaker 5: know this is what everybody tunes into the show for.
Speaker 5: But it's uh because I was texting our other body, Billy,
Speaker 5: about this. So I was watching the uh oh, it
Speaker 5: was Washington State and Saint Mary's, Saint Mary's was Saint
Speaker 5: Mary's was favor or yeah, Saint Mary's was favored by six,
Speaker 5: but I took the Washington State spread. But what's even
Speaker 5: crazier is I'm watching that game unfold and Saint Mary's
Speaker 5: is up like five with nineteen seconds ago. Then Washington
Speaker 5: State on the inbounds just throws it away with like
Speaker 5: nineteen seconds. So Saint Mary's gets a ball back, hits
Speaker 5: the free throws and then are up by seven and
Speaker 5: there's like six seconds left, So there's six seconds left
Speaker 5: on the clock, and they just let Washington State just
Speaker 5: kind of like blow by them for the layup for
Speaker 5: the last second cover And that's what ended up getting
Speaker 5: me at that point. And no, that's I ended up
Speaker 5: winning off of that. So they after they hit those
Speaker 5: free throws, I'm like, oh great, they went they went
Speaker 5: up seven, and then h Washington Skate gets the ball back,
Speaker 5: Saint Mary's just kind of lets him go down there
Speaker 5: and cover the spread.
Speaker 2: So something like that, all right, I think that kind
Speaker 2: of the opposite of a bad beat, and it's like
Speaker 2: a good beat, yeah, but somebody, like somebody had a
Speaker 2: bad beat and you benefited from it, right, So like
Speaker 2: if you if that if that meaningless bucket would have
Speaker 2: lost you your wagers, certainly, I think that would qualify
Speaker 2: for the bad beat. But the bad beat kind of
Speaker 2: went your way. Yes, Now, when that happens, and it's
Speaker 2: happened to me before, like I've ended up having a
Speaker 2: bet come through a parlay or maybe just a straight
Speaker 2: bet to where I absolutely realized that there was luck
Speaker 2: involved and that that keeps me humble, meaning like I
Speaker 2: don't get more greedy. I don't find myself you know,
Speaker 2: thinking I'm I'm great at this. I think for me,
Speaker 2: you know, the bad losses and the law and the
Speaker 2: wins that come with luck, that's what's made it to
Speaker 2: where it's just fun. It's not like I'm out here
Speaker 2: doing it trying to you know, have a new career
Speaker 2: and and you know, supplement my income or anything like that.
Speaker 2: But I've had in fact, I feel like more often
Speaker 2: than not, if and honestly, if you if you hit
Speaker 2: a four plus leg parlay, just what I build anymore,
Speaker 2: I feel like there's a good sen there's a good
Speaker 2: chance that if it wins, more often than not, you're
Speaker 2: going to realize you did, in fact have some luck
Speaker 2: go your way, right, Like, at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: you got it right. So I'm not saying you only
Speaker 2: win those things based off luck, but you know, there's
Speaker 2: a reason you get there's a reason you get paid
Speaker 2: a lot of money when those things come through. Because
Speaker 2: it's very very difficult, very difficult.
Speaker 5: To me, this to happen this dap and this one
Speaker 5: and last one. Yesterday it was the it was the
Speaker 5: Illinois in Northwestern game, and Illinois was seven and a
Speaker 5: half point favorites, and they were up by like double
Speaker 5: digits almost the whole game, and then I think they
Speaker 5: ended up going They ended up winning by nine. But
Speaker 5: right as soon as right Illinois is coming up with
Speaker 5: the ball, they're up nine, and they're just kind of
Speaker 5: letting the clock run out ten nine, eight, and the
Speaker 5: point guard just like lets the ball go and it's
Speaker 5: just like dribbling and remaining to lose its bounce at
Speaker 5: half court line while the point guards just going and
Speaker 5: dapping up everybody. Meanwhile, the clock's still taking down ten
Speaker 5: seconds left, and I'm sitting there praying, please, no one
Speaker 5: picked that up and go the other way just because
Speaker 5: you want to play until the final horn.
Speaker 4: But thank goodness, that's.
Speaker 2: What we're going.
Speaker 4: But it worked out perfectly.
Speaker 5: But I'm sitting there watching the guy just pull up
Speaker 5: all right, just run these seconds off, and then he
Speaker 5: just drops the ball and just goes and starts dapping
Speaker 5: up everybody, Like thank goodness that there wasn't a try
Speaker 5: hard out there that wanted to go do that, and
Speaker 5: then that happened a couple of years ago with like Kansas,
Speaker 5: Kansas where they just ended up coming down and dunking,
Speaker 5: and dude thought he was all that.
Speaker 2: And it was Kansas and Monmouth.
Speaker 4: That's right, That's right.
Speaker 2: And the only reason I remember it is because of
Speaker 2: what you said. How the guy. I don't I believe
Speaker 2: the player that he had no clue that like what
Speaker 2: he did was gonna either win people a lot of
Speaker 2: money or lose them a lot of money depending on
Speaker 2: what they did. But I mean that was early in
Speaker 2: the stages of gambling. Not only I mean that was
Speaker 2: right around the time it clearly wasn't legal here yet.
Speaker 2: But I mean, gambling's been a thing for a long
Speaker 2: time now as far as like you know, society, but
Speaker 2: it being legalized in so many states is what really
Speaker 2: really has been in your face, which is why we
Speaker 2: talked about a couple of weeks ago, the announcers that
Speaker 2: want to do the cutesie thing about like they got
Speaker 2: to hide what they're talking about, Like that's so lame.
Speaker 3: It's just I mean, oh, that basket help some people,
Speaker 3: although there's some people waiting to see you know what
Speaker 3: this you know, whenever there's a bucket that you know,
Speaker 3: this is like their their go to.
Speaker 2: If there's a bucket scored at any point late in
Speaker 2: a game that has no impact on the game itself,
Speaker 2: but it does in fact put somebody over the over
Speaker 2: or spread. That's when they get cute and like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, it just seems it'd be different if it
Speaker 2: was still some this underworld thing that you really had
Speaker 2: to go off shore to do, or you know, you
Speaker 2: had to go to Vegas. But man, like it's it's
Speaker 2: pretty much legal almost everywhere. I mean not everywhere, but
Speaker 2: close to it.
Speaker 5: No, I'm gonna need like Tony Romo at the next
Speaker 5: one to be like, nah, I don't know, Jim, Jam Jim,
Speaker 5: you'll go right here, hits the over gym, Jim Jim.
Speaker 4: They were spread was six Jim.
Speaker 2: I went from thinking he was such a breath of
Speaker 2: fresh air as a broadcaster to now I'm just annoyed
Speaker 2: by Romo.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, he's a couple of years of moved from
Speaker 4: the game.
Speaker 2: When he first got got rom fatigue.
Speaker 5: He knew Romo fatigue, well, he knew he's so far
Speaker 5: removed from playing, and he knew like a lot of
Speaker 5: people and all the game has just evolved in that
Speaker 5: he's just sort of lost it because he's so far removed.
Speaker 5: That's why Tom Brady's starting to get.
Speaker 4: A little bit better.
Speaker 2: And I didn't realize it at the time, but like
Speaker 2: it is annoying every play for you to predict it
Speaker 2: and tell us what's gonna happen, Like it might be
Speaker 2: impressive every now and then, and that's what really made it,
Speaker 2: Like this guy knows everything. And then now it's like, okay,
Speaker 2: just just call the action, man. We don't need you
Speaker 2: to flor Jim Aunt, Jim quick break. We'll talk some
Speaker 2: college hoops on the other side right here on Sports
Speaker 2: Talk seven.
Speaker 1: Ninety Now back to coffee and company, fueled by Thornton's
Speaker 1: on Sports Talk seven nine.
Speaker 6: Day, there's a wild stat that probably won't surprise you
Speaker 6: given what Patrick Mahomes has been able to do in
Speaker 6: his young NFL career.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not young, but he's certainly not old.
Speaker 2: He's not thirty yet, and he's potentially about to get
Speaker 2: his fourth super Bowl. And I don't I think I've
Speaker 2: made it pretty clear. I'm tired of it, but hard
Speaker 2: not to respect that he's I mean, he's he's a
Speaker 2: legend already. He benefits from, you know, a great organization
Speaker 2: behind him, great great head coach. Jones is probably the
Speaker 2: biggest unsung hero for the Chiefs in the last you know,
Speaker 2: four or five years, because I mean he's been dominant,
Speaker 2: and yet think about how distant he is when you
Speaker 2: talk about the Chiefs and how great they are, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's Mahomes, Kelsey, Taylor Swift, maybe then Andy Reid,
Speaker 2: and then you know, then they might bring up Chris Jones,
Speaker 2: who of course is great on defense. But this is
Speaker 2: the Mahome stat went down one to eight points in
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter or ot of NFL playoff games. Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes again, fourth quarter or overtime when his team is
Speaker 2: down between one and eight points. This is his stat
Speaker 2: line forty to fifty six for five hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: two passing yards, five passing touchdowns, zero interceptions, one rushing touchdown,
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty two point two passer rating, and
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have scored on thirteen or fourteen drives in
Speaker 2: those situations. Again, I mean, he plays, he's his best
Speaker 2: football in situations like that. He's he's clutch and sometimes
Speaker 2: he hasn't even really needed to be because they've just
Speaker 2: been that good. But at times, whenever they're trailing or
Speaker 2: it's tied, I mean, even if it's just a close game,
Speaker 2: I mean, he'll he'll find a way to make a play.
Speaker 2: And I don't see that changing anytime soon. But be nice,
Speaker 2: I mean, the Eagles winning would not I mean, I
Speaker 2: think what's happened here is that the fact that the
Speaker 2: Chiefs are even in the Super Bowl. Any't talk if
Speaker 2: their like dynasty slipping away because they potentially lose this
Speaker 2: game to the Eagles. I mean, that'll probably just be
Speaker 2: wishful thinking by a lot of people. And look, even
Speaker 2: if they would have lost to the uh, you know,
Speaker 2: to the to the to the Bills yesterday, or maybe
Speaker 2: lost their first I mean, I mean highly doubt that,
Speaker 2: you know, it was very unprobable. But regardless, let's say
Speaker 2: they missed the playoffs this year, in all aspects, like
Speaker 2: it wouldn't have meant that they are never going to
Speaker 2: be good again. But I guess what I'm getting at
Speaker 2: is like, if you're somebody that is that is tied
Speaker 2: tired of this whole thing, I don't think it's stopping
Speaker 2: anytime soon. I really don't. So whatever way you got
Speaker 2: to find, whatever way you need to find, you know,
Speaker 2: to be able to better, to be able to better
Speaker 2: deal with it. Everybody's different, right Like for me, I
Speaker 2: don't really know what I've done in the last twenty
Speaker 2: four hours. I suppose is kind of think, Okay, should
Speaker 2: I maybe like embrace them more and just accept that, Yeah,
Speaker 2: despite not liking the Chiefs and wanting them to lose,
Speaker 2: like they're going to probably be here for a while,
Speaker 2: so I should just you know, view them differently. But
Speaker 2: I can't do it. Like last night, I mean, when
Speaker 2: the game was coming to an end, I just turned
Speaker 2: it off because I didn't want to see them celebrate,
Speaker 2: Like it's the last thing I wanted to see. And
Speaker 2: I'm such a hater, and I don't want to be
Speaker 2: a hater, but I am. But it does make me
Speaker 2: feel good to know that I am.
Speaker 4: I'm not alone.
Speaker 2: I also know that I'm not alone when it comes
Speaker 2: to just enjoying this Louisvel basketball season. And we did
Speaker 2: not get to enjoy this team play over the weekend.
Speaker 2: They had the week off and that wasn't fun. But
Speaker 2: I don't feel like the momentum at least, you know,
Speaker 2: the fans or feeling the energy from the fan base
Speaker 2: right now in regards to the program. Even despite no
Speaker 2: game over the weekend, it's still really really high. I
Speaker 2: mean it's just nice to be out and about and
Speaker 2: just to you know, wanting to talk Louisville basketball with
Speaker 2: people again, like going out. You know, I'm not going
Speaker 2: door to door talking to strangers. Hey have you seen
Speaker 2: how good the Louisville basketball teams played?
Speaker 4: But like you want to talk about our Lord and
Speaker 4: savior Patkelsey.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he is our savior. And look, it's
Speaker 2: not like I get stopped all the time. But for
Speaker 2: a couple of years, if somebody was going to talk
Speaker 2: lois of basketball and they were like, hey, listen to
Speaker 2: the show, or hey, you know, what do you think
Speaker 2: about this? And that, I mean it was it wasn't
Speaker 2: a fun conversation, you know, it was it was depressing.
Speaker 2: But now you know, it's much different, and I want
Speaker 2: to I want to watch him play every night. Like
Speaker 2: I wish they had a game every day. I know
Speaker 2: that's not realistic and whatnot, but the week off I've
Speaker 2: been fiening for some Louisville hoops and we'll get to
Speaker 2: see him on tomorrow night actually when they take on
Speaker 2: wake Forest and we've got we got tomorrow to kind
Speaker 2: of get into that matchup and whatnot. But over the weekend,
Speaker 2: you're continue to see things that just remind you that
Speaker 2: this group is different. And I mean, I don't know
Speaker 2: any of these guys personally. In fact, I would say
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of our audience doesn't. I mean unless
Speaker 2: you have some type of relationship with them and you've
Speaker 2: gotten to know them or something like that. But they've
Speaker 2: just been a nice reminder that, look, winning is what
Speaker 2: fans care the most about, right, and you want to
Speaker 2: win at a high level. But what I said a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, I think it even seems more
Speaker 2: like I feel more confident in this now, just with
Speaker 2: the way these guys have kind of carried themselves. And
Speaker 2: you had Saturday or was it half your team showed
Speaker 2: up to see Pat Kelsey's son play in his game.
Speaker 2: Johnny Kelsey has had a little league and maybe it
Speaker 2: was a school game, but half the team showed up
Speaker 2: to support him. And then you see that they go
Speaker 2: to the Louisville hockey game at least a couple of
Speaker 2: them did and like that. Maybe you know, the grand
Speaker 2: scheme of things, that's not some huge deal, but you know,
Speaker 2: these what I said a few weeks ago that I
Speaker 2: was going to bring up again, We'll never be able
Speaker 2: to I'll never be able to prove it. And maybe
Speaker 2: you know, maybe you disagree, and that's fine, But I
Speaker 2: do think that this group, everybody from top to bottom,
Speaker 2: and I'm talking Kelsey, his staff, his players, it just
Speaker 2: seems like everybody that's here and is a part of
Speaker 2: the ride that you know wasn't here previously. Because it's
Speaker 2: all brand new, they have a real level of like
Speaker 2: appreciating what Louisville basketball is and can be. And I
Speaker 2: think that's one of the reasons as to why they
Speaker 2: put in so much work and why this thing is
Speaker 2: working so far. I mean, it's just the first year
Speaker 2: and I'm not even really thinking about long term or
Speaker 2: even really I mean, I'm not even thinking about the
Speaker 2: tournament just yet, because I, like many I'm just enjoying
Speaker 2: the ride. It's been a lot of fun. But I
Speaker 2: think you could have the same record. This is what
Speaker 2: I was getting at. I think you could have the
Speaker 2: same record, be in the same position top twenty five,
Speaker 2: And if the players kind of didn't carry themselves the
Speaker 2: way that they do, and Pat Kelsey wasn't the coach,
Speaker 2: and you weren't doing this despite losing some key guys
Speaker 2: to injury, it wouldn't be as enjoyable. And at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, if the results of their results,
Speaker 2: that's what it is. And maybe there are some of
Speaker 2: you that are listening here, like Nick, I don't give
Speaker 2: it damn about any of that stuff.
Speaker 4: Just go win.
Speaker 2: I don't care what they're doing off the field or
Speaker 2: off the court. I don't care that they seem likable
Speaker 2: or anything like that. I just want them to win.
Speaker 2: And that's the way you see it.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 2: But like I think things have lined up here in
Speaker 2: the timing has made it to where not only is
Speaker 2: Louisville looking like a surefire tournament team right now, they're
Speaker 2: back into the top twenty five, they're now up to
Speaker 2: number twenty one. I mean, all that's great, but I
Speaker 2: think the other things has has done a bigger has
Speaker 2: done a better job, and I guess the healing process.
Speaker 2: And that sounds dramatic because at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: Louisville having a couple really I guess a few really
Speaker 2: bad basketball seasons. I mean, that's not good for anybody,
Speaker 2: But you know, it's not like it's the end of
Speaker 2: the world. It's not. I mean, I never felt like
Speaker 2: Louisville basketball would never get back, But I also don't
Speaker 2: know if I could have realistically told you that a
Speaker 2: year ago said they would be in the position they
Speaker 2: are now. And I don't necessarily just mean this record
Speaker 2: and being in the top twenty five. It wouldn't have
Speaker 2: it wouldn't have floored me. But I think what's really
Speaker 2: been an eye opener is just to see how enjoyable
Speaker 2: every aspect of this has been for fans. And I
Speaker 2: shouldn't be surprised, I guess, because I mean, I'm well
Speaker 2: aware of how much Louisville basketball means to people, and
Speaker 2: the awful, awful years that you had recently. That's a
Speaker 2: reminder of it, But that's a reminder of it, like
Speaker 2: in a sad way, like right, I didn't know how
Speaker 2: much joy I'd be losing by having a team that
Speaker 2: was in a situation like this, But there's certain things
Speaker 2: you don't really know and learn until you know you
Speaker 2: go through these experiences. And we had an experience that
Speaker 2: was awful for a few years, and now, you know,
Speaker 2: we'll see how things finish. I have no reason to
Speaker 2: think they won't keep winning. I'm not sure if they're
Speaker 2: going to go undefeated the rest of the way in
Speaker 2: the regular season, but just to know that that's like
Speaker 2: a realistic thing because of their schedule and of course
Speaker 2: how well they've played up to this point and the
Speaker 2: kind of run that they're on right now, I mean,
Speaker 2: that's just exciting. It really is. And even though I was,
Speaker 2: you know, feeding for some Louisville hoops and not wanting
Speaker 2: them to have a full week off, to know how
Speaker 2: much I missed it and to know that I wasn't alone,
Speaker 2: It's just, man, it's a fun ride. And I've been
Speaker 2: so repetitive when it comes to talking about this team
Speaker 2: in this season because we really have been doing kind
Speaker 2: of the same show when it comes to Louisville basketball
Speaker 2: for weeks now, right They keep going out there and
Speaker 2: playing at a really high level. And I mean, I
Speaker 2: wasn't worried about SMU, but I kept thinking to myself,
Speaker 2: like should I be worried? You know, maybe this SMU
Speaker 2: team is in fact a lot better than people realize, Well,
Speaker 2: then Louisville goes out there and they were up thirty
Speaker 2: for a good chunk of that game, won it by
Speaker 2: twenty five. And by the way, SMU then went on
Speaker 2: the road and beat NC State, which NC State's not
Speaker 2: having a great year, but I mean SMU will probably
Speaker 2: still end up finishing in the top five of the ACC,
Speaker 2: which again probably says more about the ACC than anything else.
Speaker 2: But that's another example of how timing is is kind
Speaker 2: of you know, it's on our side, I suppose. And
Speaker 2: what I mean by that is in previous years, I
Speaker 2: think I would have, like, you know, if Louisville was
Speaker 2: in this position and it wasn't year one of Pat Kelce,
Speaker 2: they weren't coming off of a four win season and
Speaker 2: an eight win season, but yet they were still right
Speaker 2: here looking like the second best team in the ACC,
Speaker 2: looking like a Serfire tournament team, and they're in the
Speaker 2: top twenty one. Because they're up to twenty one down
Speaker 2: the Ape pole, I feel like I would have been
Speaker 2: a little triggered and bothered by the ACC being as
Speaker 2: bad as it is. I would have been triggered by
Speaker 2: talking heads, meaning, you know, asking if Louisville is actually
Speaker 2: any good at all because the ACC is so down.
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like I probably, I mean, there's
Speaker 2: nothing I would have been able to do about it.
Speaker 2: It's not like I wouldn't have enjoyed it, but like,
Speaker 2: I just so don't care about any of that right now,
Speaker 2: just because again, I'm enjoying the ride that they've been on. Really,
Speaker 2: I mean, since Pat Kelsey got here, there's been some
Speaker 2: real enthusiasm that he's injected into the program. That's been great,
Speaker 2: it's been what we've needed. But this run they've been
Speaker 2: on since January, I mean, this has been I mean,
Speaker 2: if they win tomorrow, that'll that'll put them Let me
Speaker 2: pull up the schedule here, because they've got tomorrow night
Speaker 2: wake for US, which they're currently projected to win by
Speaker 2: ten according to kin Pom here, and their next game
Speaker 2: is Saturday, which is February first. So I mean, let's
Speaker 2: say they win, and let's say they win by the
Speaker 2: projected score here from the ken Pom formula, they win
Speaker 2: seventy four to sixty four. I mean, you're going to
Speaker 2: cap off a month that was I mean, absolutely phenomenal basketball.
Speaker 2: Your closest game would have been the win at Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: But other than that, I mean you're talking. You beat
Speaker 2: Carolina about thirteen, beat Virginia by twenty, beat Clemson by ten.
Speaker 2: Again I mentioned pitt that was a four point win
Speaker 2: for you on the road. You beat Syracuse by twenty four,
Speaker 2: you beat Virginia by fourteen, you beat SMU by twenty five.
Speaker 2: And again, I know, as I say this, there's many
Speaker 2: of you thinking, well, yeah, what do you expect? The
Speaker 2: ACC sucks? Well, I don't care. Again, I'm not saying
Speaker 2: you're wrong. The league is down in a major way,
Speaker 2: and I guess that's a nice way of saying that
Speaker 2: the league kind of sucks this year. But I'd be
Speaker 2: a liar if I said I cared at all, because
Speaker 2: it's not just like and I think you can and
Speaker 2: I could be wrong here, but you've seen teams that
Speaker 2: you know aren't great or aren't playing well, and they're
Speaker 2: able to beat a team you know that is just
Speaker 2: worse than them. But Louisville's playing really good basketball regardless
Speaker 2: of the competition. And I'm sure if they were playing
Speaker 2: an SEC schedule during January, not an ACC schedule, would
Speaker 2: they be undefeated. Surely not. But both things can be true,
Speaker 2: Louisll's playing really good basketball, and also you know they're
Speaker 2: taking advantage of a league that's that's not what it
Speaker 2: usually is. Which we'll get to this on the other side,
Speaker 2: because wait, Forest, I mean, I guess I'm resetting this
Speaker 2: from last week, but I'm telling you, man, like they
Speaker 2: played Duke competitively. They lost that game by seven points.
Speaker 2: It was real close late and I don't know how
Speaker 2: good Wake is, but if they just didn't schedule the
Speaker 2: way they did, they would safely be in the tournament
Speaker 2: right now. And I happen to think that they almost
Speaker 2: are in. I mean, I think they're in a position
Speaker 2: where I shouldn't say they have no chance of making it.
Speaker 2: But look, it's the end of January. Here, they're at
Speaker 2: seventy three in the kin Palm, and I think right
Speaker 2: around there in the net. I mean, I'm just mad
Speaker 2: at them because I think tomorrow a win for Louisville
Speaker 2: actually would be a pretty impressive win because of how
Speaker 2: well Wake is played, But the numbers aren't going to
Speaker 2: tell you that, and it's just it all could have
Speaker 2: been avoided. I mean, I'm looking at it from the
Speaker 2: Louisville perspective, like, hey, you should you should have better numbers.
Speaker 2: Want we want more credit when we beat you, if,
Speaker 2: of course we do beat you. But like if I'm
Speaker 2: a wake Forest fan, whoever puts your schedule together, like
Speaker 2: they should be held accountable because it's a big factor
Speaker 2: in why you're probably not going to go to the tournament.
Speaker 2: I quick break will come back and wrap up the
Speaker 2: four o'clock hour. On the other side, it's coffee and company.
Speaker 2: Felbout Thornon right here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1: Now back to Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on
Speaker 1: Sports Talk seven nine day.
Speaker 2: I've neglected the text line today and I'll I'll apologize.
Speaker 2: Five two six five three zero seven ninety is the
Speaker 2: Ellen n Federal Credit Union text line. If you guys
Speaker 2: want to text in, we don't have much time left here,
Speaker 2: but if you want to give us a call, we'll
Speaker 2: we'll certainly get to your calls on the five o'clock
Speaker 2: hour five o two, five to seven to one seventy
Speaker 2: nine hundred. But this text came in earlier and says Nick,
Speaker 2: am I the only one watching Kentucky and realizing we
Speaker 2: should have beat them, and if we'd have played him
Speaker 2: now it might be a different game, might be. I mean,
Speaker 2: Kentucky losing to Vandy over the weekend isn't like some
Speaker 2: huge surprise because I mean they were on the road. Vandy,
Speaker 2: I mean, is Vandy rank now, I wouldn't be shocked
Speaker 2: if they are. It is their second top ten team
Speaker 2: that they beat, right yeah, up to number twenty four.
Speaker 2: And look, we talked about it last week, Vandy. If
Speaker 2: that's one of the worst teams in the SEC, that
Speaker 2: speaks to how good the SEC is. But I'm not
Speaker 2: sure they're one of the worst teams honestly looking at
Speaker 2: I mean, i'd say South Carolina and Arkansas and LSU
Speaker 2: and you probably have to throw Georgia and Oklahoma in there. Honestly,
Speaker 2: which Oklahoma be being you know, I guess. I mean,
Speaker 2: Oklahoma's still fifteen and four, but they're two and four
Speaker 2: in league play, and I mean it doesn't matter in
Speaker 2: the grand scheme of things, but that's a team that
Speaker 2: Louisville lost to. Therefore, if they do well and stay
Speaker 2: in the top fifty, it'll be a quad one. But yeah, Vandy,
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, Vandy right now is four and
Speaker 2: three in the league, alongside Tennessee, Texas A and m
Speaker 2: Mississippi State, and yeah, that's it. So with Vandy beating
Speaker 2: Kentucky and Tennessee, I mean, I think it's clear they're
Speaker 2: not one of the worst teams in that league, and
Speaker 2: they're actually pretty good. In Kentucky bad, I mean, they
Speaker 2: weren't they did. It was weird how Kentucky ended up
Speaker 2: kind of getting really not not blown out, but I
Speaker 2: mean it was getting away from him at the end
Speaker 2: of the half. I mean, I don't remember what it
Speaker 2: was half as far as the score, but they were
Speaker 2: down I think it was nearly fifteen. Well, Kentucky clawed
Speaker 2: all the way back, took the lead, got up like
Speaker 2: seven or eight, and then it kind of just, you know,
Speaker 2: it slipped away from him. So Kentucky I think they
Speaker 2: did well. They didn't have Andrew Carr and that that's
Speaker 2: that's an issue. I mean, he obviously is somebody that
Speaker 2: is valuable to them, and without him, they're just not
Speaker 2: as good. I mean, they got to play guys who
Speaker 2: you know, probably they wouldn't play as many minutes if
Speaker 2: if if Andrew Carr was healthy. So it doesn't sound
Speaker 2: like he's gonna be back this week. Maybe even longer.
Speaker 2: Pope was kind of vague, but it sounds like they're
Speaker 2: gonna kind of let him heel up, and maybe he's
Speaker 2: been playing hurt for weeks now and now they're gonna
Speaker 2: let him rest and clearly try to make it to
Speaker 2: where he's as healthy as can be. When you get
Speaker 2: to later in the season, whenever, you know it matters more.
Speaker 2: But to answer your question, yeah, I mean I think
Speaker 2: Louisville played Kentucky on a neutral floor right now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean I think they could win. I don't know
Speaker 2: if they would, but I mean, look, they could have
Speaker 2: beat him in rough they did, and Kentucky deserves credit
Speaker 2: for winning, and you know they were better that night
Speaker 2: and wouldn't be shocked if they played again and Kentucky won,
Speaker 2: just because again, Kentucky's a good team. And I wish
Speaker 2: I could take more joy in their losses in SEC play.
Speaker 2: I mean, I did enjoy it Saturday. I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: lie because you know, I like when the rival loses.
Speaker 2: But I also don't think that they're a bad team
Speaker 2: by any means, Like, I don't think they're falling apart.
Speaker 2: I just think they're gonna be one of those teams
Speaker 2: in the SEC that ends up with a pretty you know,
Speaker 2: mid record and league play. But yet the resume their numbers, right,
Speaker 2: the net ranking is probably gonna be pretty strong to
Speaker 2: where they're gonna get a good seed. I mean, I
Speaker 2: heard Matt bring it up on KSR today asking if
Speaker 2: he felt like he has any worry that Kentucky's gonna
Speaker 2: make the tournament, and I thought, that's insane, Like, I
Speaker 2: don't know how they could miss the tournament, but I
Speaker 2: guess if the losses just start to really pile up,
Speaker 2: maybe that's a conversation. But I'm telling you they're gonna
Speaker 2: lose games and not fall at all in the net. Now,
Speaker 2: the net is not the end all be all, but
Speaker 2: of course is what the NC double. It's what the
Speaker 2: committee uses to I mean, they use that number more
Speaker 2: than any other number. They also, you would think, use
Speaker 2: their eyeballs, and they're aware not every quad one win
Speaker 2: is the same value that kind of stuff, so it matters.
Speaker 2: But I mean, they're fourteen, and I guess if you
Speaker 2: are worried that they're not gonna make the tournament, if
Speaker 2: you're a Kentucky fan, it would just be that you
Speaker 2: realize you've now lost to at least one team, maybe
Speaker 2: two teams in your league that you know aren't going
Speaker 2: to be like, be honest, the Oklahoma I'm sorry, not Oklahoma,
Speaker 2: but Georgia. That loss doesn't look very good now. I
Speaker 2: mean it's probably, But again with that said, as long
Speaker 2: as Georgia stays in the top, you know, well, I
Speaker 2: guess a quad one loss is on the at somebody
Speaker 2: who was a quater one loss is when you play
Speaker 2: somebody at their place and they're in the top seventy five.
Speaker 2: I mean, Georgia could keep losing and not fall that far,
Speaker 2: because again, you're playing some of the best teams in
Speaker 2: the country night in a night out, So any conversation
Speaker 2: about them not making the tournament, I have a hard
Speaker 2: time seeing that happen. But I don't know. Again, you
Speaker 2: still have to play Tennessee, who you traveled to Knoxville
Speaker 2: to play them tomorrow. They're clearly one of the best
Speaker 2: teams in the country. You did beat Florida, but you're
Speaker 2: gonna have to play them again at their place. You
Speaker 2: will play at Alabama, who got you at home just
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. But look, they still have
Speaker 2: South Carolina, Arkansas LSU, Oklahoma Texas. I mean, those are
Speaker 2: games that Kentucky should win, regardless if they're at home
Speaker 2: or on the road. However, doesn't mean they're going to
Speaker 2: right like they should have beat Bandy. If they play
Speaker 2: Vandy ten times, they probably win seven or eight, maybe
Speaker 2: even more, I don't know, maybe they get nine and
Speaker 2: the only loss that they would take is the one
Speaker 2: that they just suffered. So I just I think Kentucky's
Speaker 2: been a really easy team to figure out. When they
Speaker 2: end up getting the game played at their style, the
Speaker 2: way they want to play fast, then they can find
Speaker 2: themselves in a situation where they can beat anybody. I mean,
Speaker 2: they were right there and just couldn't outlast Alabama. They
Speaker 2: beat Florida, They have wins against a Gonzaga and Duke,
Speaker 2: which again, those are really valuable. So they're clearly as
Speaker 2: dangerous as maybe anybody when things are going well for
Speaker 2: them and they're making shots and they're playing at their pace.
Speaker 2: But they're also vulnerable in a way that you wouldn't
Speaker 2: like a team that can be as good as they are,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't expect him to be as vulnerable as they
Speaker 2: are at times where a game is not played really fast,
Speaker 2: it's slow. The team knows, hey, we're just going to
Speaker 2: be really physical and kind of rough them up. Like
Speaker 2: that makes it to where they can mess around and
Speaker 2: not lose to anybody necessarily. But you know, they can
Speaker 2: lose to Georgia, who at this point doesn't look like,
Speaker 2: you know, a very good team. You know, their Ohio
Speaker 2: State loss doesn't really look like that good of a
Speaker 2: loss right now, Clemson. Clemson's taking advantage of the ACC
Speaker 2: being what it is, just like Louisville is, so that
Speaker 2: loss doesn't look terrible it was at their place. But
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know. I just I wish I
Speaker 2: could lie to you if you're a Louisville fan and
Speaker 2: like you know, you were taking great enjoyment in Kentucky struggling.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm with you on that, like I'd like
Speaker 2: to see them lose, but I can't sit In fact,
Speaker 2: I guess what's really hard for me to say is
Speaker 2: the more I watch them play games like they do,
Speaker 2: like they played against Andy on Saturday and they lost,
Speaker 2: the more I realize from a personnel standpoint, I don't
Speaker 2: think this team should be nearly as good as they are,
Speaker 2: as far as their resume in the record. I think
Speaker 2: they're having a really good season because of Mark Pope.
Speaker 2: He's got some good pieces to work with. I'm not
Speaker 2: acting like he's out here coaching a bunch of walk Ons,
Speaker 2: but you know, I think Mark Pope's doing a good
Speaker 2: job with what he has. But if they don't have
Speaker 2: Andrew Carr like for the foreseeable future, that could change
Speaker 2: things clearly. All right, quick break, We got the five
Speaker 2: o'clock hour coming up. Stick around right here on Sports
Speaker 2: Talk seven ninety
