That fall weather is uh 31 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.079 is here, and you know, I enjoy it. I like it, 32 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.120 But I don't know, the last couple of days, I 33 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:46.840 kind of feel like I just haven't warmed up like 34 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.079 I've just been kind of you know, like freezing. 35 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.879 It didn't really ease us in the way that maybe 36 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.760 it does typically. And it is gonna warm up here 37 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.120 in the next few days. But the last couple days 38 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.599 have been a shock for some time. 39 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.640 Sure, Yeah, Yesterday, I mean, look it's fine because it's 40 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.480 gonna get a lot worse, and I don't really mind 41 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.760 cold weather, but like yesterday, you're right, it's I mean, 42 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.200 yesterday was a day where I just think, throughout the 43 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.840 entire day in this area, this region, it was just cold, 44 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.400 like even for October, like even this morning. 45 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.800 To go to the DMV and get my registration up 46 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:17.840 updated or whatever, you call that go you know, get 47 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:19.319 your tags in that type of stuff and not a 48 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:20.240 defrost in my car? 49 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:21.280 Did you really? Yeah? 50 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.199 Wow, it was thirty two degrees this morning. 51 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.960 Because I see like on I don't know why I 52 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.039 get it from. I guess I have the Amazon app 53 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.319 on my phone. I mean I do, I have it 54 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:33.759 as far as like you know, shopping on Amazon Prime. 55 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.000 But I guess that app. 56 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.520 Is is connected to one of those like speakers, the 57 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:39.520 Echo or. 58 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:40.759 Is that what they're called Echo? Yeah? 59 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.240 For Amazon. 60 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.039 Yeah, so we have one in the house that I 61 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.360 guess was set up through my phone and I get 62 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.000 those notifications when we've got weather that is, you know, 63 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:50.840 that we need to be aware of, and I got 64 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.439 a frost advisory, So I guess I guess it was 65 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.800 in fact that cold this morning, which yeah, I mean, 66 00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.800 like so Saturday, it's gonna be sunny, and I think 67 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.280 I checked the highest currently looks at right about seventy degrees. 68 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.560 But I feel like if that's the high and we're talking, 69 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:09.319 you know, all of the Tail game is gonna be 70 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.639 done before noon because obviously the game starts at noon. 71 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.639 Like I think for the game itself, that sun if 72 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:16.360 it's there it's gonna help, but it's gonna be I 73 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.400 think it's gonna be on the chillier side if it's twelve. 74 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.680 If the game goes from noon to three or three 75 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.000 thirty and it's nothing but sunny, it may be one 76 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:25.639 of the best games people attend this. 77 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.039 I think you're I mean, you got to keep in mind, 78 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.039 like people don't keep their house below seventy very often, 79 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.240 you know what I mean. So if it's in the sixties, 80 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:36.800 I feel like people are gonna be cold. I mean, 81 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.520 you know, you put a hoodie on your good Like 82 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:39.879 if you're out there in shorts and a T shirt, 83 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.479 then yeah, you're gonna be cold. But you know, I 84 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:44.560 in a weird way, I'm trying to think about, like, 85 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.439 you know, do I go, because I'm just thinking, if 86 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.759 it's sunny and it's you know, the highest seventy, I'm thinking, Okay, 87 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.919 I don't. I don't even need sleeves. But again, the 88 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.080 majority of the time that you know, I'm think of 89 00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.159 Tailgate more than anything, and that's where it's gonna be, 90 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.439 Like it'll probably be it will probably be hoodie weather, 91 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.360 which is perfect. And if the sun is shut, I 92 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:10.599 mean when it's in that range sixties, the high being seventy. 93 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.280 The sun is crucial because without the sun it's actually cold, 94 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:15.919 like not to the point where you got to, you know, 95 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:18.040 go get your winter code. Yeah, but like the sun 96 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.399 can make it to where if it's in the high sixties, 97 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.839 it's it's quite literally perfect. But and it does look 98 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.560 like it's gonna be sunny. In fact, we've got nothing 99 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.639 but sunshine as I look here on the on the 100 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.319 weather app, which is the weather app on my phone, 101 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.720 is that from the weather channel. I feel like it is, 102 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:34.720 but I don't know for certain. 103 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.000 It may depend I'll know what Apple uses. I think 104 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.439 mine is a Samsung specific thing. 105 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:39.920 I don't know that. 106 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.399 Oh okay, well yeah we've got uh yeah, we rely 107 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:43.839 on them. 108 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.079 High the high of the high seventy on Saturday is 109 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.360 what I'm looking at. And it looks like it's gonna 110 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.480 be sunny, so yeah, it should be should be awesome. 111 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:53.920 And actually I didn't even know this. 112 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.439 If you click on the actual date here on this 113 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.720 ten day forecast that I've got on this app, which 114 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:01.759 again it's just not something I downloaded, it's just the 115 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.920 weather app that comes on an iPhone. It actually shows you, 116 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.759 like per hour of that day, so like in between, 117 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:13.399 let's see here from like if you're tailgating from like 118 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.879 nine to let's say you'd get in there at eleven 119 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.079 o'clock and look, you're still outside it, so like you're 120 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.120 gonna in fact, there's probably a lot of shade and 121 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:23.959 you may not have that sun shining down on you. 122 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.000 But it looks as if temperatures are going to be 123 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:33.120 between like mid forties to mid fifties to sixty like 124 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.519 in that early morning range from like I don't know 125 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.600 up until eleven am. So come prepared. I mean, this 126 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.920 is the biggest game on the home schedule, which isn't 127 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.920 saying much because the home schedule this year was just 128 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:47.279 pretty is pretty bad, to be honestly, that's nobody's fault. 129 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.399 That's just kind of how it played out. But Miami 130 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.879 at this point is probably better than most expected. They're undefeated, 131 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.759 they're the number sixteam in the country, and it's a sellout. 132 00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.240 So you did tell me earlier this week, John, it's 133 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.160 going to be big game bram on Saturday, and I 134 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.160 believe it. But it has hit me really in the 135 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.120 last few hours as I'm continuing to because as you 136 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.480 get closer to a college football Saturday, you start to 137 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.319 see all those that you know cover the sport nationally 138 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.040 talking about some of the bigger matchups, and there's a 139 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:17.040 pretty good slate of. 140 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:17.879 Games this weekend. 141 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.120 But Miami being the number six team in the country, 142 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.240 and of course Louisville being a team that a lot 143 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.160 of people think could pull off an upset, I'm not 144 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.360 seeing a whole lot of people predicting it, but I'm 145 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:30.439 also not seeing many predictions for a blowout. So it's 146 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.480 one of the games many of the talking heads are 147 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.319 sharing their thoughts about, and it just reminded me, like 148 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.879 I need to I mean, maybe I've been a little 149 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.319 bit Dare I say delusional this week when it comes 150 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.120 to this game. I mean, I think I've been pretty 151 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.839 straightforward that hey, like, if they eliminate some of these 152 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.879 mistakes that you feel like are easy to avoid and 153 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:52.720 they play well, then they're going to have a chance 154 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.759 to win. And I mean all that, but I kind 155 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.560 of think to take it a step further, they're going 156 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.519 to have to be a different team and they've been 157 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.600 all year to win this game, unless Miami just comes 158 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:08.439 out and they lay an egg there, I mean, and 159 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.879 you have no clue how they're going to come out 160 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.079 off the buy. I mean it really depends on I 161 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.920 mean how their mindset is after avoiding two game two loss. 162 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:21.279 They avoided two losses that could have easily gone the 163 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.600 other way, but they held on to win. Then they 164 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:25.480 hit the bye week, so I feel like it's going 165 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.519 to be that they come out maybe a little bit flat, 166 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.519 and maybe that won't keep them from winning the game, 167 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.759 but I could see them potentially coming out flat off. 168 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:32.240 The bye week. 169 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.360 Hopefully there's a good atmosphere there to where they really 170 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.279 feel as if they're truly in a road environment, and 171 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.480 maybe Louisville could take advantage of that. That'd be ideal. 172 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:44.160 But they could also come out feeling refreshed because they 173 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:48.680 got through six games and got to that bye week unscathed, 174 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.079 no losses for them. So I'm getting more and more excited, 175 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:56.120 But I'm not going to a lot of myself and 176 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.240 obviously a lot of you guys that I just I 177 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.600 think if we see Louisville be the same team they've 178 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.879 been six games through, I don't think that they'll win 179 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.720 and they may get beat bad. I mean I don't 180 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.680 I'm not saying I predict that because I'm hopeful that 181 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.160 they do come ready to play. But this year has 182 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.879 just been you know, it's just it's been a real 183 00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:23.519 surprise for me because if they were before and two, 184 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.120 like if you'd have told me before the season started 185 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.360 they're going to be four and two, and let's just 186 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:32.919 say you literally told me, and I knew who they 187 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.440 lost to, and I knew the scores, with each of 188 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.600 the Notre Dame game in the SMU game being just 189 00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.120 you know, touchdown game. You know, I don't know what 190 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:42.759 I would have tried. I don't know what I would 191 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.840 have tried to assume happen to get those results, but 192 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.519 I probably would have guessed that it's just well, you 193 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:51.039 know what you brought in Tyler Shuck, and maybe he's 194 00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:54.360 just not that good. Or you know, oh, Quincy Riley 195 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.360 missed a couple of games. Yeah that's not ideal. Maybe 196 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:03.600 maybe you're really learned the hard way that you needed 197 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.960 Grindo and Jordan more than you ever realized, because now 198 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.799 you've got a group of veteran running backs, but none 199 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.679 of them are really that good. Like, you know, none 200 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.759 of that, none of what I have mentioned there in 201 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:16.639 the last I don't know thirty seconds. I think has 202 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.679 really been a huge factor and why they're for and 203 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.279 two it's because of things that you just you know, 204 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:25.080 wouldn't expect to happen. So no better time than now 205 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:29.120 for this group to get right and uh, you know, 206 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.480 play their best game of the season. And I think 207 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.240 they're gonna need to do that and it. You know, 208 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.039 I don't mean to start the show today acting as 209 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.159 if you know Louisville isn't the team that can beat 210 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.960 Miami and we should just expect a loss. I mean, 211 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.879 I'm not here telling you I expect to win. I'm 212 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:43.679 hopeful that they win. I think they can win. It 213 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:45.840 wouldn't be the biggest shocker in the world. But the 214 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.919 more I look at what we've seen six games in, 215 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.000 and that's all you can do, right six games in, 216 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:54.320 you have an identity and this team again, they're gonna 217 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.840 have to be a different version of themselves to beat 218 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.759 a team like Miami because of how good Miami is. 219 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.840 You know, we've been saying it really since Haines King 220 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.919 did it when Georgia Tech came to town what a 221 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:10.159 month ago, that quarterbacks that have the ability to take 222 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:12.799 off and make a play with their feet. They really 223 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.879 kind of feast against Louisville. Well, since we've been saying 224 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.799 that week in and week out, it's still happening. So 225 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.720 now you got cam Ward come into town and he's 226 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.480 a Heisman candidate. He is a high I mean right now, 227 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.799 he's in the mix to win, to win the Heisman Trophy. 228 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:33.879 I would say it's between him, the running back at 229 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.600 Boise State, and Travis Hunter. I mean, i'd say those 230 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.159 are the three most likely candidates at this point. So 231 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.000 I just, you know, can they scheme something together defensively 232 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.559 to keep cam Ward from having a huge impact on 233 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:51.840 the game. Sure they can, but I just can't. I 234 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:53.799 can't go there as far as saying they're gonna do 235 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:57.000 it and I expect it when I have seen nothing 236 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.559 that would make me believe that's going to start happen now. 237 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.519 But you know, to go back to this, this this 238 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.039 hope and belief that that that John gave me, it's 239 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.320 big game proms. So maybe that maybe that's when whenever 240 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.240 these things that haven't happen yet do in fact happen, 241 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.840 defense is well prepared. They come out ready to play. 242 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.120 They're not letting a quarterback get loose on the ground 243 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:25.720 and extend drives and offensively they're there. The old line 244 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.399 is is given them a little bit more time meeting 245 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:32.159 Tyler Shuck and you know they're not committing silly penalties 246 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:33.000 that will kill a drive. 247 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:34.360 Like maybe maybe. 248 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:38.159 All that comes together because of Big Game Bram in 249 00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:41.799 October Fingers crossed are We got a couple of guests 250 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:44.200 that are going to join us today. We'll talk with 251 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.559 Alex Kupper coming up here at three thirty get his 252 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.799 thoughts on this matchup. Also at four point thirty will 253 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.840 bring in Kent Spencer from w h AS eleven and 254 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.279 other than those two times three point thirty and four thirty, 255 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.080 you've got an open invitation to join us here on 256 00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.279 the show. You can give us a call five O 257 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.240 two five seven one seventy nine hundred. You can also 258 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.320 text in on the ln N Federal Credit Union text 259 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:08.759 line five OO two six five three zero seven ninety. 260 00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:10.879 And another reminder, you can take us with you wherever 261 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.000 you go, whatever you're doing, listen live right here on 262 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:18.000 the iHeartRadio app or at seven ninety Louisville dot Com. 263 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.279 As you know, we are with you until six o'clock. 264 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.440 I was I was at my daughter's gymnastics last night 265 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:27.080 and my stepdad was there and he'd mentioned something I 266 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.200 said on the show yesterday, and you know, I'm sure 267 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.440 it probably came across the way he took it, and 268 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.919 I just didn't realize it. Sometimes, you know, sometimes I 269 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.039 don't even realize that I misspeak or you know, just 270 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.919 get something wrong. It probably happens more often than I 271 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.279 would even know, which is a scary thing. But I 272 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.120 mentioned if you are somebody that is you know, if 273 00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:49.080 you're listening to this show from three to six and 274 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.879 you dedicate three hours of your of your time, you know, 275 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:53.919 thank you, and you know if you're not, you need 276 00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.639 to reevaluate some things. I may have misspoke. The people 277 00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:59.240 who aren't listening to this show for its entire three 278 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:03.639 hour schedule, those are the ones that need to reevaluate priorities. 279 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.679 It's not the other way around. I'm not judging you. 280 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.159 If you are somebody that does consume coffee and company 281 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:10.559 from three pm to six pm every single day, you're 282 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.759 living right. You're somebody that's that's got it figured out. 283 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.399 You're somebody that is living on the good side. And 284 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.120 if you're not, you still got time to you know, 285 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:25.360 to join those that consume us from start to finish. 286 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.080 But if you have things going on again, that's why 287 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.240 I always try to remind you, just just know that 288 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.320 if you're getting out of your car or I don't know, 289 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.080 I don't know where, should be listening to an old 290 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.240 terrestrial radio, but just know ourt radio apps always available 291 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.279 for you as well as seven ninety Louisville dot Com. 292 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.039 All right, So one of the things I try to do, 293 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.960 not every day, but pretty often is think of things 294 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.759 that you know, I know fans in this area, in 295 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:58.240 this city, in this region are are conversing about. And 296 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:03.840 it's silly, but there are countless things that these two 297 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.840 fan bases, Louisville fans and Kentucky fans have gone back 298 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:10.600 and forth about over the years that are beyond silly. 299 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.320 Like it's just what we do. And it's always a 300 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:16.679 reminder how crazy this rivalry is. But the team photo, 301 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.360 like that thing, you know, we talked about it yesterday 302 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.679 just because at that point, you know, it was a 303 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.080 big talking point. But not just like you know with 304 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:29.320 people who are trolls on Twitter, like you know, my 305 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.039 sister ran in her yesterday, what's. 306 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:33.720 Going on with the team photo? Is that actually the 307 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:34.879 team photo? What do we like? 308 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:36.759 I think there were some people that just you know, 309 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.000 believe whatever they see on the internet, like thinking that 310 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.360 that was the team photo where they were the Louisville 311 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:46.960 go like, hey, the photographers there, here we go on 312 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:48.799 the count of three, we're going to snap the picture, 313 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.120 and this is your team photo. Like, I think there 314 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:53.720 are a lot of people who saw what Matt mcgavii 315 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.519 put out, and then of course it really it became 316 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.759 a totally different type of thing whenever KSR got a 317 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.120 whole it. But like, there were people legitimately worried about 318 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:05.480 Louisville basketball because they saw that team photo, and you know, 319 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:07.559 it didn't exactly give you a whole lot of I mean, 320 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.039 it wasn't a good look. But imagine you having somebody 321 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.720 take your picture when nobody's looking and you're I mean, 322 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.000 it just it couldn't have been worse. But as silly 323 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.480 as it is, and I mean, it really is stupid, 324 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.720 to be honest with you, But again, there's an endless 325 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.600 list of things that I can't think of an example 326 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:33.039 of one that's like as silly as this, everybody talking 327 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.440 about a team photo that wasn't a real team photo. 328 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.080 I mean, it was a photo of the team, but 329 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:39.159 like that was what really got me is that after 330 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.519 the show yesterday, just talking to people that I know, 331 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.240 friends of mine, even family, I mentioned my sister, like 332 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:45.600 they thought that that was like if you go to 333 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:47.879 Uel's website, that was going to be the photo that 334 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:51.639 you see, which is just like, I mean, you got 335 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:54.039 to be pretty naive to think that. But also, like 336 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:57.960 Kentucky fans, maybe it's because Mark Pope, you know, he 337 00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.639 may be good, but he's kind of boring, like he's 338 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:03.159 not somebody that's going to like, you know, there wasn't 339 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:05.440 a whole lot to take away from his appearance at 340 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.559 the SEC basketball media days. They're football team's coming off 341 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.279 a loss to Vandy and they realize like they're gonna 342 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.320 be stuck with Stoops unless he just decides one day 343 00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:16.559 he doesn't want to coach there anymore. And again I 344 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:18.159 talked about this the other day. Maybe we get back 345 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:21.879 into it later, like Kentucky fans hoping that Stoops just 346 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:26.200 kind of decides to bow out and you know, walk 347 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.919 away and call it a career. Who's walking away from 348 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.200 nine million dollars a year, like he'll take you all 349 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.720 calling into his coaches shows, giving him crap about losing 350 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.360 to Vandy for nine million year because most people would. 351 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:42.519 But anyways, I think Kentucky fans were just bored because again, 352 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.240 Pope may be good, but he's boring compared to Call 353 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.759 as far as just you know what Cal brings to 354 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.840 the table. And on football, you know they lost to Vandy, 355 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.600 so I guess they. I mean, I'm a little I 356 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.879 guess flattered as a Louisville fan myself how much the 357 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:01.600 Louisville team photo was really more of a talking point 358 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.480 to Kentucky fans than it was anybody else. But the 359 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:07.079 reason I bring this whole thing up is because there 360 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.720 is a tweet that's gone, I don't know, semi viral. 361 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:14.519 It's got seven hundred thousand views, and it's from an 362 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.880 account probably an anonymous troll. Yeah, I mean, just looking 363 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:23.359 at the I mean, Kim English lover KENO Davis survivor 364 00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.720 Ed Cooley's biggest hater. That is the bio of this 365 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.039 person with three thousand followers on Twitter, who I assume 366 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:32.559 is a Providence basketball fan. And I think it's this 367 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:34.319 is one of those things that you put out there 368 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.200 just to get reaction, just because people who don't follow 369 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.200 your content may not get your sarcasm. You know, they're 370 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.160 going to be in your mentions just yelling at you, 371 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:44.039 telling you're an idiot. And at the end of the day, 372 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.839 if you get that kind of engagement, it's what you 373 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:49.559 want as a troll on the Internet, that's what they seek. 374 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:52.400 But it says, honestly, believe college basketball means more in 375 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.519 this red line than any other part in the country. Well, 376 00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.079 on this map, there's like a red He's got a 377 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:01.960 red circle around the map that shows the state of 378 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.839 Connecticut as well as Providence Rhode Island. And it's basically 379 00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:11.960 saying that Yukon and Providence fans, they collectively are ruling 380 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.119 the region of the country that they believe is college 381 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.759 basketball country. And it's clearly not the case. I mean 382 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.440 where we are, I mean TV ratings tell you that 383 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:24.920 we watch more college hoops than anybody. But even like 384 00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.440 in the Carolinas, I mean, it's a different world. But 385 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:31.279 you know, do you think there's other fan bases out there? 386 00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:35.480 You think Yukon and Providence fans are going back and 387 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.279 forth not only on Twitter and the toxic wasteland that 388 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.440 is now X. But like you know, there's people who 389 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:43.480 work at Ford on the assembly line, or people who 390 00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:45.359 work at GE or people who work in an office, 391 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:47.359 maybe they work at McDonald's, and one of them's a 392 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.480 Louisville fan, one of them is a Kentucky fan, and 393 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.680 they're probably going back and forth about a picture that 394 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:55.000 somebody took on their iPhone and posted on Twitter, like 395 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.240 we're nuts and I wouldn't have it any other way. 396 00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:01.759 And we'll see how both of these coaches end up doing. 397 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:05.440 But it does kind of feel like the rivalry is 398 00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:08.680 refreshed here, which on the Louisville side, God knows we 399 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.680 needed something new because Cal's just been you know, very 400 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.839 successful against Louisville to say the least. And I know 401 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.200
