The countries are 5 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:17.559 screwing it up. 6 00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:20.879 Gold Play Inner Murals, Brother, gold Play Inner Murals. 7 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.000 They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not. 8 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.879 Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here? Are you 9 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:40.920 kidding me? Now? Here's Nick coffee? 10 00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.000 All right? You made it, ladies and gentlemen. It is 11 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.359 the weekend. I mean not yet maybe for some, but 12 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.960 it's a Friday, and we've got a big weekend on 13 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.759 hand here in Louisville, and I'm certainly excited about it. 14 00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:59.479 Another beautiful day. I'm not sure we've had. I mean, 15 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.920 I guess last week. Of course, it was terrible with 16 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.719 just a ton of rain that just never seemed to end, 17 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.959 that led to Louder than Life having basically a day off, 18 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.920 just a gross weekend. But yet we've we've kind of 19 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.840 bounced back here with the beautiful week of weather and 20 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.719 should be a beautiful day tomorrow. So the vibes are 21 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.400 strong as we get a Friday editions audition started here 22 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.680 at Disc Coffee and Company. We are fueled by Thornton's 23 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.920 here on Sports Talk seven ninety. I'm I'm a little 24 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.840 thrown off here. I made the mistake. I did literally 25 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.200 just walk in maybe four minutes ago. Not because you know, 26 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.120 I mean, we're ready to rock and roll today, but 27 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.560 I you know, I had some arionster run and whatnot, 28 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.599 so I got here not in time to check every 29 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.000 level of every you know, everything on this board in 30 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.040 front of me and my I mean, I don't know why. 31 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.760 It's one thing to listen to, like if you're talking John, 32 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.760 or if you're listening to sound or if it's a caller, 33 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:55.920 Like I get why you may want to have that 34 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.239 really loud. But what I don't get, And you have 35 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.200 the ability to control it too, by the way, those 36 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.200 who don't know, and you probably wouldn't unless you've you know, 37 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.560 worked on a worked in a studio like this, with 38 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.760 a board like this, I can hear there's there's one 39 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:14.360 specific I guess knob here that controls how loud I 40 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.840 am in my own headphones, and I like to keep 41 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:22.240 that just loud enough to where like I can hear it, 42 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.199 but I don't want it loud. Yes, that is how 43 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.080 I am. Yeah, because then it distracts me. It's like, 44 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.240 why are you yelling? Why do you you know? Like 45 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:32.759 it just it throws me off. But Scott Fitzgerald and 46 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.199 Shannon the dude, they they really like to hear themselves 47 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.759 up loud and it and it threw me off there. 48 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.240 I think everybody in the studio except us is maybe 49 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:43.000 legally deaf. 50 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.919 Yeah, could be, I mean, because it seems like we're 51 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.159 the only people who keep the boards quiet. 52 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:49.439 Yeah. 53 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.240 And it's not a lie either, I don't think. Yeah, 54 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.159 I mean, I the one person I know, and I 55 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.680 don't I've not I don't think I've ever followed him, 56 00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.639 meaning I come on after him. But Vanetti's like, and 57 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.080 he's he's got to have it full blast, and he 58 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.000 is I think. I mean again, I don't know if 59 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.919 he's got diagnosed, but I'm pretty sure he is deaf. 60 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.400 Shannon's probably close to it. Scott, I don't know, but 61 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.039 he was the last one in here and it was 62 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.199 it was up really loud. So now as we are 63 00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.080 three minutes in, I feel like I'm actually getting the 64 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.840 party started here. It's coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's 65 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.080 here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you guys hanging 66 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:24.840 out with us as we get you set for a 67 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.000 big weekend starts tonight Louisville Live. Really looking forward to 68 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.879 getting out there to the KFC. You'm center bringing the family, 69 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.400 Not that any of you care, but this is the 70 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:39.520 perfect event for little kids that don't quite have the 71 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.560 patience to like watch a full game, although my son 72 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.719 probably would, but you know, he'd be asking me questions 73 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.759 every five seconds. He probably will tonight. He's at that 74 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:53.120 stage where everything's a question, like why is that car 75 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.039 going that way? I don't know, son, And I've had 76 00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:00.840 so many moments where I'm like, I have to tell him, like, 77 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:02.560 you don't have to ask questions, but then I don't 78 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.280 have the heart to do that. But it tonight's not 79 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.840 about figuring out if louls any good or not right. 80 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.199 It's about just tipping the season off, the first event 81 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.360 really of the Pat Kelsey era, and I expect there 82 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:19.720 to be a pretty good crowd there. They're gonna do 83 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:21.720 not only a three point shootout, They're going to do 84 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.839 a dunk contest. They're also going to introduce all the 85 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.439 players who knows who knows who's going to be there. 86 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.519 As far as former players, I mean, I don't I 87 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.720 don't think we're expecting some surprise celebrity like Jack Harlow 88 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.160 or Donovan Mitchell who've made appearances before. But you really 89 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.439 never know when it comes to who may who may 90 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.839 show up. And then they're also going to do like 91 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.920 a three on three, but it'll be with some members 92 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.399 of the women's team and the men's team, which should 93 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.399 be kind of fun. So look, it's a party and 94 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.560 I'm looking forward to partying. So yeah, it starts to 95 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.560 day o'clock. But there has been a lot of talk 96 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.920 about the game the event because it's not a game, 97 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:59.120 but the event not being streamed live. And you know, 98 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.000 I don't usually go of my way to like because 99 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.600 I don't feel the need to, and I don't really 100 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:07.959 you know, like I'm not someone in a position now 101 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.480 where I feel like I need to defend the folks 102 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.560 that work for the U of l Athletic administration. There 103 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.279 was a time where it was kind of you know, 104 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:20.839 part of this, but I actually think it's insane with 105 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.759 some of the things that people complain about and like 106 00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.839 blame u of L for and this will be live 107 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.560 only in person, so like, if you want to watch 108 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.680 it live, you got to be there. It will be 109 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.120 available on ACC Network Extra, which of course is streaming, 110 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.959 which I believe it's been on ACC Network Extra before 111 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.560 in previous years live, but I don't know. I mean, 112 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.040 I don't know that for certain. I don't think when 113 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.399 they did it at Slugger was it was available to 114 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.519 watch live. But I really don't know. It's kind of 115 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:52.639 checked out then, as you could expect. But nonetheless, you 116 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.480 can watch it after the fact, and that's what everybody's 117 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.879 complaining about, Like u of L the official athletics department 118 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.720 Twitter account, the UFO men's basketball Twitter account, like when 119 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:05.800 you see them promoting it, you'll find at least a 120 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.560 few responses from mostly you know, anonymous trolls on the internet, 121 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:14.839 just bitching about it not being live to watch. And 122 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.360 I mean, I get it if you don't live here 123 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.879 and you don't have the ability to go, but you'll 124 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.759 still be able to watch it after the fact. And 125 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.759 of all things to complain about as far as it 126 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:31.079 not being on TV, what are you worried about missing live? 127 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.839 It's not a game you're not gonna You're not gonna 128 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.800 turn on the TV and oh man, I saw the score. 129 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:40.959 Now there's no there's no point in watching. I already 130 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:42.839 know who. Like, it's not a game, it's an event. 131 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.360 And even if you knew who won the dunk contest 132 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.560 or the three point shootout, I mean, I feel like 133 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.399 you still want to watch it because it's not about 134 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.839 like just winning, It's about how it looked, especially the 135 00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.480 dunk contest. So again, I'm not trying to be, you know, 136 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.199 a company man, because I have no official affiliation with 137 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:07.240 U of L in any way, we're no longer partners 138 00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.360 with them at all. But like that that is I mean, 139 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.639 you know, I think everybody at this day and age 140 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.560 understands that people are gonna complain about anything whenever they 141 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.040 get an opportunity. You're never gonna make everybody happy. But 142 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.319 like it just really it really irritated me to see, 143 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:24.319 you know, and it wasn't as if like the entire 144 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.879 but like people who I know that like live in 145 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.279 Louisville that like could go are bitching about how why 146 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.319 is it not live? Well, I mean and I don't 147 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.360 honestly know why it's not live. I mean I have 148 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.680 no clue. I don't know if it's because they don't 149 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:42.480 have like the like you got to keep in mind, 150 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:48.439 the ACC owns u of l's broadcast rights, so that's 151 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:50.639 why it's gonna be on the ACC Network Extra. So 152 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:53.000 that tells me that, like if they wanted to put 153 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.600 it on the field, uh not the field of sixty eight. 154 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.959 That's a That's why did I say that? Floyd Street 155 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.319 It's what is it? Floyd Street's Finest? 156 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:02.680 Is that? 157 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.839 No, that sounds like something. It's something Floyd Street, Floyd 158 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.879 Street Media. Yeah, Floyd Street Media. Floyd Street's Finest is 159 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:15.000 Jeff Career's old old podcast. But Floyd Street's Finest not 160 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.480 the name Floyd Street Media is the name apologies there. 161 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.920 That's the media company that is essentially part of five 162 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:22.920 O two Circle. If you remember, they're the ones who 163 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.199 did a live YouTube stream for the games in the Bahamas. 164 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.560 My guess is that one of two things, because this 165 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.639 is actually you know, part of this is an event 166 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:34.559 that is taking place at the KFC Young Center, and 167 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.480 it's you know, it's actually on the schedule that kind 168 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.759 of stuff. Like maybe they wouldn't have the ability to 169 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.960 do that because believe it or not. They are kind 170 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.559 of an outside I mean, they're affiliated, but they're not, 171 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:47.600 if you know what I mean. Right, Like five O 172 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:49.919 two Circle clearly is affiliated with u of L, but 173 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.000 like it's it's a different company essentially, So maybe they 174 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.919 didn't have the ability to do that, or they just realize, Hey, 175 00:08:55.960 --> 00:09:00.360 for what this is, we really need to make sure 176 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.600 that you know the broadcast quality, rather it be recording 177 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:07.559 it for broadcast or streaming it live, Like we need 178 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.279 to make sure we've got you know, we've got a 179 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.360 full crew that can make sure it looks good even 180 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:15.120 if it's for after the fact it's not live. 181 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.919 So again, like you also have to keep in mind 182 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.360 that they're also having a volleyball game tonight at ellen 183 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.759 And Arena on campus. And I'm sure when it comes 184 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:27.200 to people who work for Jeremy nos Crewe, who you know, 185 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:31.519 the u of L broadcast production team, you know that 186 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.000 that studio that was that was put in whenever u 187 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.320 of L joined the ACC part of a requirement, Like 188 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:38.519 they've got a big team that helps you know a 189 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:39.879 lot of the you know, a lot of the sports 190 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.000 that you don't watch. Probably you don't even realize it, 191 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.320 but they are on like ESPN Plus and or the 192 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.879 ACC Network Extra, and the people who you know work 193 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.879 the production to help make that available live, they they 194 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.200 work for U of L. So like, there's probably not 195 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.639 as many resources on hand tonight to get this thing 196 00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.600 live out there, But again, just go and if you 197 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:01.799 can't go, so I wouldn't be shocked if within an 198 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.879 hour after it's over. Don't quote me on this because 199 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.480 I have no clue, but like I bet this will 200 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.639 probably be up for you to watch relatively quickly after 201 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:09.120 it ends. 202 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.879 So it is kind of funny that it's called Louisville 203 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:13.799 Live and it won't be live. 204 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.279 Well Louisville Live. It's Louisville Live at the Yump Center, 205 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:17.559 So you've got to get your ask there to watch 206 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:17.919 it live. 207 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:19.320 I do get why they're doing it. 208 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.039 They want to lot didn't mean it's on TV. Love 209 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.840 just means it's live, like you know. So anyways, that'll 210 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:28.279 be tonight at eight o'clock, and then of course tomorrow, 211 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.919 I mean tomorrow is a is a big day and 212 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.360 I have absolutely I mean, I'm right on schedule when 213 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:40.200 it comes to game week Monday, I'm just bitter and 214 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:45.000 still just puzzled about what happened at South Bend more 215 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:47.480 so than any other laws just because sometimes you're losing. 216 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:48.879 You know, hey, we just we came out and we 217 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.240 played a team that's a lot better than us, and 218 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.840 that happens. We all know, we don't need to revisit it. 219 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.080 But Saturday was not that. Saturday was a game more 220 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.000 so where like, what the hell happened? Like we should 221 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.720 be like, can we just stop hurting ourselves and we 222 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.120 might win the game? So that lingered longer than it 223 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.720 usually does, so like by Tuesday, I was still kind 224 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.440 of bitter about it, but starting to turn the paged SMU, 225 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.440 realizing the momentum they have, realizing that they've really turned 226 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.000 their season around. And really that's probably an exaggeration to 227 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:22.080 say they turned their season around. They were unimpressive, but 228 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:25.000 yet they won against Nevada. Then they lost to BYU 229 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.519 in a really low scoring game. We now know BYU 230 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.320 is a certified top twenty team as we speak. I mean, 231 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:34.759 maybe they don't end up having that same status at 232 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:36.320 the end of the year, but I mean I think 233 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:37.960 BYU is looking like a team that could be one 234 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.759 of the best in the Big twelve. And then since then, 235 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.279 they made a quarterback change, and they've played well. They 236 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:47.120 embarrassed this Florida State team last week, which look, I 237 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.960 understand Florida State has been embarrassed really since the start 238 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.320 of the season every week. I mean, their only win 239 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.080 is a near loss to Cal But SMU beat them 240 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:59.279 in a way that like nobody else has, so they 241 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:05.639 again they have momentum. And Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday was 242 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:07.440 kind of like here we go, Like I'm not scared, 243 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.919 I'm not worried, but like realizing, hey, this is a 244 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.240 team that is good enough to beat you if you 245 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:15.840 don't play well. And now I'm to the point where 246 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.480 I'm well aware that, like they're good, they're gonna bring 247 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.879 more fans than I think people realize. I doubt you'll 248 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:22.360 see and in fact, you may not even be able 249 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.039 to notice because I'm not sure what color they're gonna wear. 250 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.840 I know they're wearing white uniforms, which, by the way, 251 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.279 I think we're gonna have back to back weeks where 252 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:32.919 Louisville football has just a beautiful game of uniforms on 253 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.279 the field. I mean, last week, Notre Dame that green. 254 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.799 It's unusual, but U of L's all Whites with that 255 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.720 Notre Dame and Green. I thought it looked beautiful. Of 256 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.320 course the result wasn't beautiful. But it's a big game tomorrow, 257 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:48.080 and it's not like I'm telling you that I'm now convinced, 258 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.879 no doubt about it, Louisville is gonna win. I think 259 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:51.960 they will, but I'm just ready to actually see what 260 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.519 happens here because this is this is a game where 261 00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.600 if you win it, it's what you're supposed to do. 262 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.000 We all know that it's certainly going to be great 263 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:06.480 to see this team respond coming off of a tough loss, 264 00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:09.519 being able to not let one loss gets you twice, 265 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:14.399 and that happens sometimes in football, and it'll be you 266 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.919 beating a team that you know, as we speak, appears 267 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.039 to be one of the better teams in the ACC, 268 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:20.840 although I don't even know if that's true, Like I 269 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.240 think they are, like from a talent perspective, like I 270 00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.960 think they've got some good players. I respect Red Ashley 271 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.320 as a coach. I think they'll end up being one 272 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.639 of the top five teams in the ACC when it's 273 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.480 all said and done. But when it comes to this 274 00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:36.120 game having such an impact on the ACC standings, let's 275 00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.960 be real it all, it's only because of the schedule. 276 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.960 Like SMU, They've got Louisville their last game against a 277 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.000 ranked team as we speak in Louisville's you know, ranked 278 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.320 twenty second, and then from for the rest of the season. 279 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.360 They could slip up and lose to a few teams. 280 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.039 They could lose to anybody, I suppose. But like they 281 00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.679 win this, they look at the rest of their schedule 282 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:59.000 and say, look, we've shown we're good enough to win 283 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:02.759 out beat Louisville. We can beat everybody else. And that 284 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:06.080 doesn't mean because Louisville's elite. It's because their schedule is 285 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:13.639 just very, very manageable, favorable, or as some people say, week. 286 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:18.000 So I'm anxious to get this thing started tomorrow, and 287 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.440 don't forget we've got you covered for game day. Louisville 288 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.000 Football pregame show will start at eleven, taking you up 289 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.799 till noon, presented by Pellow Windows and Doors of Central 290 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:29.799 Kentucky and Jefferson Animal Hospital, And as soon as the 291 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:31.799 game ends, we will go live once again right here 292 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:34.799 on Sports Talk seven ninety for the Louisville Football postgame show, 293 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.519 presented by Alex R. White, Sue Distracted Driver dot com. 294 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:40.559 So coming up in fifteen minutes, we'll bring an Alex Cupper, 295 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:43.399 former Louisville cardinal who joins us each and every week 296 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:49.120 to discuss the cards. And you know, I always try 297 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:51.960 to get his perspective on things that obviously most of us, 298 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:53.919 nearly all of us don't have, which is, you know, 299 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.360 a former player's perspective who you know, played football for 300 00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:00.519 UFL and had a lot of success. But like every 301 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:02.559 coach is different. But I'm just like, if you're Jeff 302 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:05.840 Brawn and you're preparing for this game, like you've probably 303 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:10.399 put this Notre Dame loss in the rear view, maybe 304 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:12.440 since you walked out of the locker room in South Bend. 305 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:14.519 I mean, I'm sure they watched film and that's part 306 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:16.720 of the process and all that, but like it's a 307 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:21.240 it's it's it's a punch to the gut for fans 308 00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.840 and certainly players and coaches to all know that, like 309 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.679 you came out with that loss, probably more so because 310 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:32.120 you just made dumb mistakes more than anything else. But 311 00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:34.240 there's also the other side of that, which is, hey, 312 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.240 if we can just tighten things up and not you know, 313 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.519 hurt ourselves and make an avoid these mistakes that are 314 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:45.039 easily avoidable. We're gonna be good. We're gonna be just fine. 315 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.240 But again we'll talk to Cup coming up here at 316 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.200 about three thirty. And then I just realized I've made 317 00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:55.399 a mistake here a double book, John, have we no? Well, 318 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.039 I just got to figure out how I'm gonna make 319 00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:00.159 the how I'm gonna how I'm going to stretch the 320 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.080 guests because we've got Jeff Greer coming on at some point, 321 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.279 I believe around four thirty. As he is, uh, he's 322 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.799 got a big weekend for uh, for for racing lou 323 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.279 And of course we always love catching up with Jef career. 324 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.559 He's our guy. And then also Brian Edwards from Vegas 325 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.039 Insider is gonna join us and get us set for 326 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:20.279 the weekend. Not a great weekend for college football as 327 00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:22.759 far as the big matchups, We've discussed that throughout the week. 328 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:28.679 But I have circled in on a few games that 329 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:31.879 I'm I'm like, I'm feeling confident about these bets. 330 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:34.679 John, Hey, I'm going back to back three and oh 331 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:36.519 parlay weeks. 332 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.879 Three and oh, I mean three straight weeks. You mean, 333 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:40.440 if you get this one it's impressive. 334 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.759 It'll be second straight week of hitting a parlor. 335 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:44.799 Oh I thought you meant three, like three, and. 336 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:46.919 Oh I say three, and oh I mean three for three. 337 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.720 It's probably the better way to put it. Okay, three 338 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.679 for three meeting, all of your picks come in, all 339 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:54.159 the yeah, yeah, yeah, well hey you've got you got more. 340 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:56.879 You got more momentum than I do. Speaking of that, 341 00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:59.080 like last night, a great Thursday night football game in 342 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.360 the NFL. We don't usually get that, but a pretty 343 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.359 exciting finish between the Falcons and the Buccaneers. And of 344 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:06.920 course I came out on the losing end of that. 345 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:09.319 But that's just what I've come to expect, not just 346 00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:12.039 with betting on football, but in life, so much so 347 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.920 that I'm now starting to really celebrate small victories in 348 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:20.160 everyday life. Like I got my kids to school in 349 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.319 daycare on time today and it looked like it might 350 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:25.359 not be the case. I'm like, man, celebrate it. You've 351 00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.720 not had many wins lately. Celebrate So I felt good 352 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:31.839 about that, And then I was sitting at a red 353 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:37.839 light right near John Harper Highway and my heart sank 354 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.519 as I felt like, oh am, I a criminal on 355 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.240 the run, and I just realized it. Remember jury dude, right, 356 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.000 I do? So I have to call a number every 357 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:53.400 so many days and hear the jury reporting line and 358 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.880 it's just a recorded message that tells you if in 359 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.720 fact jurors are needed, because I'm in the pool, and 360 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.000 then like, if your number is in this range, you're 361 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:08.119 somebody that is needed. So I called on Monday, which 362 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:12.200 was the was that the first day of Tuesday was 363 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.160 our cav So October first was the day I was. 364 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:18.079 Monday was the thirtieth, and you're supposed to call and 365 00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:19.880 they'll tell you. It'll it'll tell you. And it told 366 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.720 me that, you know, there's no like, you're good. But 367 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:27.839 then it said callback Thursday to see the schedule moving forward, 368 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.599 like not only for the fourth which is today, but 369 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.240 also next week and yesterday, you know, it being another 370 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:37.200 day where I'm just running around town like a chicken 371 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:38.759 with my head cut off, trying to figure out what 372 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:41.680 the hell's going on with my car, all due to AutoZone. 373 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:45.119 I totally forgot about it. So it's eight fifty eight 374 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:47.279 and I met this red light and I'm like, oh 375 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.920 my god, I bet I had there's just given my 376 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.400 luck given the way things have gone, there's no scenario 377 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:56.319 that I that I that I was not supposed to 378 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.960 be at the Judicial Center in Shepherdsville, Kentucky for you know, 379 00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:07.240 for jury. So I called the number and I was 380 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:09.880 very happy to learn that there was no nobody. They 381 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:11.960 didn't they didn't have a trial, So I'm good for 382 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:16.200 this week and next week. So but I just assumed, like, well, yeah, 383 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:19.319 now that there's probably there's probably a warrin out for 384 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.400 my arrest and they're looking for me right now. They 385 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.759 they may not find me though, because I'm not in 386 00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:27.039 a vehicle that is registered to me. I'm in a 387 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:30.720 loaner from a dealership because my If I missed jury 388 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.640 duty and they came after me, I would just tell 389 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:36.039 the officer who or however that works. I doubt they actually, 390 00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:37.880 you know, cuff you and stuff. You can take you 391 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:39.839 to jail because you missed jury duty. But I don't know. 392 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.039 If they wanted to make an example out of somebody, 393 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:43.960 it'd probably be me, just because of how things have 394 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.759 gone lately. But I would tell them, you need to 395 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:47.759 take this up with AutoZone. That's what you need to do. 396 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:50.440 They need to be the ones on trial here and 397 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:55.319 I'd love to be a juror deciding their fate. But again, 398 00:19:55.720 --> 00:20:01.000 I'm trying to to see the positives in life. And 399 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.759 I wouldn't say I got lucky, but I guess a 400 00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:05.039 break went my way. I didn't check. And if you 401 00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:08.160
