Speaker 1: The countries are screwing it up. Gold Play Inner.
Speaker 2: Murals, Brother, gold Play Inner Murals.
Speaker 1: They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not.
Speaker 1: Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here?

Speaker 1: Here's Nick Coffee?
Speaker 4: All right, let's get it started.
Speaker 5: Happy hump Day. Welcome in Coffee and company. We are
Speaker 5: fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate
Speaker 5: you hanging out with us as we get the party started.
Speaker 4: My name is Nick Coffee.
Speaker 5: Austin Montgomery, the travel chief alongside today Full Show. So
Speaker 5: the Bats already got their game out of the way.
Speaker 5: They played early this morning. And I don't remember having
Speaker 5: cool field trips when I was in school where we would,
Speaker 5: you know, miss a day of class to go to
Speaker 5: a Bats game.
Speaker 4: But that's the thing, and I'm jealous. So yeah, I
Speaker 4: was kids Day today.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hopefully the hopefully the kiddos enjoyed themselves some Louisville
Speaker 5: Bats baseball out there at Slugger Field.
Speaker 4: So did they win? Do you know? Or because I
Speaker 4: wasn't paying attention? Look at me? Oh yeah, No.
Speaker 5: I feel like more often than not when I do,
Speaker 5: you know, well, I when I do. When I see
Speaker 5: a result for the Bats, lately, I feel like it's
Speaker 5: been a win. But I you know, maybe that's just
Speaker 5: maybe that's just me paying more attention when they do
Speaker 5: get the dub.
Speaker 6: Yeah they won yesterday, and uh, they're they're kind of
Speaker 6: hanging around. Yes, they one today too, set six y
Speaker 6: five yep, six' five Guys omaha is really not all that.
Speaker 6: Great they're in our. Division but you, Know louisville is
Speaker 6: they're climbing back. UP i think they're like two or
Speaker 6: three games out of the lead right. Now they're kind
Speaker 6: of hanging around the five hundred. Area but that's. Good
Speaker 6: that's not what we're used to usually when we're Talking Louisville, bats.
Speaker 5: Exactly i've been talking out of my ass a lot
Speaker 5: lately because you, Know derby just.
Speaker 4: Happened i've been trying not.
Speaker 5: To but you know WHAT i really have a tough
Speaker 5: time with is WHEN i get out there and just
Speaker 5: start sharing, opinions and you, KNOW i guess in my own,
Speaker 5: HEAD i, realize you, know this is not Something i'm
Speaker 5: really knowledgeable.
Speaker 4: Of, oh you're horse, racing so that's how it. Is horse.
Speaker 5: Racing but With Louisville bat's, baseball that's kind of the
Speaker 5: same thing as, well just BECAUSE i don't keep up
Speaker 5: with them a, lot BUT i do feel comfortable in
Speaker 5: saying the fact that right now they have an eighteen
Speaker 5: and sixteen, record eight winning, record two games above five,
Speaker 5: hundred that feels really. RARE i, mean, again Maybe i'm wrong,
Speaker 5: here but they're winning more seemingly this year than they typically,
Speaker 5: do which is. GOOD i, mean could it be because
Speaker 5: they have their games back with us At Sports talk seven,
Speaker 5: NINETY i want to, SAY i, mean, look that's what everybody's.
Speaker 5: Saying we can't just ignore, it you know WHAT i.
Speaker 5: Mean if it's our job to talk about what the
Speaker 5: people are talking, about and that's what the people have
Speaker 5: been talking. About that and THE dj that's been bringing
Speaker 5: some winning vibes through the, speakers that's right.
Speaker 4: THERE i have such a blast doing.
Speaker 6: It and of course you have to and and and
Speaker 6: it's funny BECAUSE i, mean you, obviously like don't want
Speaker 6: to make fun of like the other.
Speaker 4: Team you want to keep it, respectful but we do
Speaker 4: HAVE i love, it that's What i'm.
Speaker 6: Saying but you, know the powers that be make us
Speaker 6: want to be Respect baseball is a game of like,
Speaker 6: respect right.
Speaker 4: Class it's it's very.
Speaker 6: Much class, gamesmanship kind of just like how when we
Speaker 6: talk about like horse racing.
Speaker 4: And uh what what's the other? Golf, yes so it's
Speaker 4: definitely a hint of you, know.
Speaker 5: Classy, UH i guess that's the best word to.
Speaker 4: Use you can say old, school, pure the purests of the.
Speaker 4: SPORT i get it.
Speaker 6: Totally there's some funny on the board over. There there's
Speaker 6: some funny sounder for when the opposing team messes, up you,
Speaker 6: know like The nelson ha ha when he's pointing out
Speaker 6: it's always a fun one when an error.
Speaker 4: Happens and and.
Speaker 6: That's that's a little bit lighthearted where everybody seems to
Speaker 6: get a kick out of. It BUT i have a good.
Speaker 6: Time bats are bats are. Rolling it's it's the vibes out,
Speaker 6: there so come see. Me put give me some request
Speaker 6: if you guys want to hear something at the bad, STAGE.
Speaker 5: I, mean you show off enough from three to six
Speaker 5: here with the tunes you bring us in and out
Speaker 5: to and then you and then you, know then some
Speaker 5: nights you're in, it you end up at slug or
Speaker 5: field doing the same.
Speaker 4: Thing, absolutely it's fun, time good, stuff all. Right so,
Speaker 4: look let's just get right to.
Speaker 5: It we are in Early may, here and yet we've
Speaker 5: got a big basketball thing to discuss. TODAY i, MEAN
Speaker 5: i wouldn't call it like a big story or a big,
Speaker 5: development but it's certainly a big deal around. Here and
Speaker 5: that's When louisville And kentucky play each other in. Basketball
Speaker 5: it is one of those days WHERE i feel like
Speaker 5: a lot of FOLKS i was going to say the,
Speaker 5: majority AND i feel like that's, true but Maybe i'm way.
Speaker 5: Off SOMETIMES i just get so wrapped up, in you,
Speaker 5: know my own. World BUT i know it's not just.
Speaker 5: ME a lot of people, are especially those that are
Speaker 5: probably listening to this right now rather it's live or on.
Speaker 5: Podcasts like you, know if you're a diehard, fan you
Speaker 5: know clearly you understand the rivalry and it's a big.
Speaker 5: Deal but you, know a lot of, Us i'll just
Speaker 5: say that the world kind of stops when these two
Speaker 5: teams playing.
Speaker 4: Basketball it's it's it's it's it's a big, day big.
Speaker 4: Game we all know.
Speaker 3: That so.
Speaker 5: To hear this morning that the game will take place
Speaker 5: this upcoming season On, Tuesday november, eleventh that has a
Speaker 5: lot of, PEOPLE i guess just. Feeling some are angry about.
Speaker 5: IT i, MEAN i haven't heard from, anybody And i'm
Speaker 5: sure if, we you, know if we we looked hard,
Speaker 5: enough we'd find somebody that does like it and prefer.
Speaker 4: It but it's just. Weird it's.
Speaker 5: Awkward it's the earliest that these two teams will have
Speaker 5: ever played each, other and in, fact it's only the
Speaker 5: second time they've played in the month Of. November they
Speaker 5: played in nineteen ninety three On november twenty. Seventh so you,
Speaker 5: know just knowing that the two teams are going to
Speaker 5: play in basketball before they play in football just doesn't feel.
Speaker 5: RIGHT i, mean it's going to feel. SURREAL i think
Speaker 5: the lead up is going to be. Awkward your work
Speaker 5: day might be really. Odd but here's WHAT i feel
Speaker 5: very confident in, saying they're gonna tip this thing off
Speaker 5: and nothing else will. Matter we'll all be completely consumed
Speaker 5: by the, moment because that's usually how it. WORKS i,
Speaker 5: mean they could play this thing at two am on A,
Speaker 5: wednesday and we'd watch and be completely locked in because
Speaker 5: that's just what this game. Does it kind of feels
Speaker 5: like everything else. STOPS i, MEAN i know there are
Speaker 5: people that truly don't, care meaning like there are people
Speaker 5: who aren't into the, rivalry that aren't really into, sports
Speaker 5: and they may know of the game happening because of
Speaker 5: coverage that you hear. ABOUT i, mean it's one of
Speaker 5: those things that even you, know the news stations in
Speaker 5: town rather it be our LOCAL tv stations or you,
Speaker 5: know like even news radio eight forty whs down the,
Speaker 5: hall obviously they cover, sports but like it'll be a
Speaker 5: heavy day of uku of l because like it's just
Speaker 5: it's what we do around.
Speaker 4: Here it's a big part of our. Culture so you, KNOW.
Speaker 5: I just Cannot and, again we'll get we'll get into
Speaker 5: the THE i guess pros cons of this early, meeting
Speaker 5: but LIKE i don't know many that THAT i would consider, acquaintance,
Speaker 5: FRIEND i, mean, colleague really just ANYBODY i know much
Speaker 5: any level that like isn't end to win this game.
Speaker 5: PLAYS i, mean, again it's probably me just being so
Speaker 5: consumed and wrapped in my own world and in my own.
Speaker 5: Bubble but that's a that's a random, day Right, Tuesday november,
Speaker 5: eleventh And i'm sure the game will be at either
Speaker 5: seven or, eight maybe nine, O'CLOCK i don't, know and
Speaker 5: it'll be on one of THE espn stations because in,
Speaker 5: FACT i think moving forward there are always going to
Speaker 5: be on one of those stations because of both schools
Speaker 5: conference affiliation WITH. Espn but, Yeah november, eleventh it'll there's
Speaker 5: probably people today that have decided to go ahead and
Speaker 5: put in a vacation day, request maybe SOME pto if
Speaker 5: you've got it for that, day or maybe the day.
Speaker 4: After so you, know WHEN i heard, IT i, thought,
Speaker 4: okay you, know not.
Speaker 5: Ideal IF i had to, CHOOSE i certainly wouldn't have Picked,
Speaker 5: Tuesday november the, Eleventh but it is what it. Is
Speaker 5: AND i, know, again AS i, mentioned doesn't matter anytime
Speaker 5: any place they schedule this. Game it's gonna be a
Speaker 5: big deal and we're going, to you, know probably be
Speaker 5: lunatics about. It, Austin i'm assuming you've heard you had
Speaker 5: heard that bye by, NOW i didn't break that news to, you, Right.
Speaker 4: No, no, NO i saw it like right as soon
Speaker 4: as it came. Out what was your first reaction gross
Speaker 4: or a little. Bit that's before the football.
Speaker 5: GAME i mean that that's again that's WHAT i said
Speaker 5: a moment ago THAT i genuinely like. That that's what
Speaker 5: just makes it seem so, surreal is that to know
Speaker 5: that they're going to play each other in.
Speaker 4: Basketball before they play in. Football it just feels. Weird
Speaker 4: but you, KNOW.
Speaker 5: I feel like there Are and AGAIN i keep, SAYING
Speaker 5: i keep throwing things out there as If i'm not
Speaker 5: just speaking for, myself when REALLY i can only speak
Speaker 5: for me my own. Self but when that game is
Speaker 5: competitive and it's and it's, close and you know you're
Speaker 5: ABOUT i don't know seventy five percent through, it and
Speaker 5: you really don't know which team's going to be able
Speaker 5: to get it done like that lead, up you could
Speaker 5: tell me it's nineteen forty, five AND i would believe,
Speaker 5: you just because Like i'm, so it's it's it just
Speaker 5: consumes me in a way that really can't be.
Speaker 4: HEALTHY i, mean it can't be something.
Speaker 5: That is that is good for my life, expectancy but
Speaker 5: it is what it.
Speaker 6: Is tell you, what, selfishly WHEN i first saw that
Speaker 6: that's coming out on when it's a literally middle Of
Speaker 6: november game was kind of relieved BECAUSE i was, Worried
Speaker 6: i'm going to be getting Married december, twentieth so like
Speaker 6: that's USUALLY i figured one hundred, PERCENT i thought we
Speaker 6: avoided all the football games and not want to get
Speaker 6: married on a college Football, saturday AND i completely forgot,
Speaker 6: About oh, gosh that's usually when LIKE u OF l
Speaker 6: AND uk, Play SO i was kind of worried about.
Speaker 6: That and looks, like looks LIKE i don't have to
Speaker 6: looks LIKE i don't have to put THE tv up
Speaker 6: at the.
Speaker 5: Wedding, now, YEAH I i, Mean i'm just trying to
Speaker 5: think about because this isn't the first time they've played
Speaker 5: on a. Weekday in, fact they've done that now, TWICE i.
Speaker 4: Believe, yeah they. Played last time we beat, them it
Speaker 4: was on a. Weekday yeah it was two. Thousand, well,
Speaker 4: no that wasn't the last.
Speaker 6: Time the last, Time yeah that Was Downovan, Mitchell dangandell yeah,
Speaker 6: Team and.
Speaker 5: That felt really weird because that was the first time
Speaker 5: THAT i can think, of like in my lifetime where
Speaker 5: they weren't playing on A. SATURDAY i think it was
Speaker 5: also on A. Tuesday it was also at the and
Speaker 5: those were two really good, teams by the, way and
Speaker 5: And rick his last year, here he got. It that
Speaker 5: was a that Was do you remember who was the star.
Speaker 4: Of that game for The Louisville Quentin. Snyder that's.
Speaker 5: Right put Bam otebaio on, skates and REALLY i don't
Speaker 5: REMEMBER q had his. Moment you, KNOW q had a
Speaker 5: really good career At, louisville certainly not like all time,
Speaker 5: great played for good, teams was a good player throughout
Speaker 5: his entire, career and again played for some good. Teams his,
Speaker 5: NUMBERS i, mean he a thousand point. Scorer but you,
Speaker 5: know let's be, REAL i think a lot of people
Speaker 5: when they think of, him they're probably gonna think about
Speaker 5: that moment because it, was you, know we we we.
Speaker 4: Hadn't had many. Wins let's just be.
Speaker 5: Real we haven't had many wins Against kentucky and, basketball
Speaker 5: and that was that was of course a big one
Speaker 5: and he had a, big big role in.
Speaker 6: It so he got like the little belt that they
Speaker 6: get from THE. Mvp, Right, yeah that's that's. Right and that.
Speaker 5: Team That kentucky, HAD i think that Was cal's last
Speaker 5: really really really good. TEAM i think if they don't
Speaker 5: lose To North carolina on that buzzer beater in the elate,
Speaker 5: eight they probably win it all, because, yeah that duo
Speaker 5: Of fox And monk was really really.
Speaker 6: Tough and Remember monk was just coming off like a
Speaker 6: forty point game against Like North. Carolina, yeah went, Nuts Malik.
Speaker 6: Monk me he's still in the.
Speaker 5: League he had a rough start then he kind of
Speaker 5: then he kind of got it rolling and AND i
Speaker 5: think he's on a decent deal now with The Sacramento.
Speaker 5: Kings but like he was insanely good AT uk like
Speaker 5: he was he was he was a. Killer, Yeah like
Speaker 5: he was one of those guys that like when he
Speaker 5: had the, BALL i just felt like we were in.
Speaker 5: Trouble and WHEN i say, WE i mean like anybody
Speaker 5: playing Against. Kentucky so, yeah we got him. Then and
Speaker 5: then obviously the last one was In coke was when
Speaker 5: they played in The Freedom hall when or not for Them,
Speaker 5: hall but the Um center whenever there was you, know
Speaker 5: twenty five hundred people, there THE covid game with Car
Speaker 5: league and those. Guys that was the Year kentucky was
Speaker 5: really really. Bad, yeah And louisville of course was the
Speaker 5: first team left out of the. Tournament so then they
Speaker 5: PLAYED i MEAN i guess that was the. First, yeah
Speaker 5: the first game of The kenny maybe was the second.
Speaker 5: GAME i genuinely don't, Remember, kay it was the. Second
Speaker 5: So kenny was here two. Years the first time they,
Speaker 5: PLAYED i think it was on A, saturday but it
Speaker 5: is a real. Blur and then when they played in
Speaker 5: that you, know it was also a weak. Night and
Speaker 5: that was when the lead up to, IT kp said
Speaker 5: that he hopes to just win by one, point despite
Speaker 5: Knowing cow wants to beat him by a. Billion he
Speaker 5: mocked and, laughed could not contain his laughter when somebody
Speaker 5: asked about how you Know louisville can take steps to
Speaker 5: maybe being competitive With, kentucky and you, know he acted
Speaker 5: as if that's just unheard of because nobody could ever do.
Speaker 4: THAT i, mean did you see those All americans out?
Speaker 5: There there are things that like it's not certainly not
Speaker 5: worth getting into today and probably never because who would
Speaker 5: want to do. It BUT i swear to you there
Speaker 5: are some things that if we did like a full
Speaker 5: like recap of just not the whole, thing but just
Speaker 5: moments where we were, like wait a, second is this?
Speaker 5: Real like did you wouldn't like looking, BACK i don't
Speaker 5: think we'd believe. It we would think that there's no
Speaker 5: way that actually, happened but it. Did so it's been
Speaker 5: a real blur in recent years just because you, Know
Speaker 5: louisville's been pretty. LIFELESS i, mean they didn't play them
Speaker 5: in the TWENTY i guess it Was max last. Year,
Speaker 5: yeah they didn't play, them and that was because OF covid.
Speaker 5: Tests and then after, that of course it was you
Speaker 5: KNOW kp twice and then you, know now P k
Speaker 5: gave him a good game In. LEXINGTON i, mean that
Speaker 5: was a pretty good showing against a good team on
Speaker 5: their home, floor and you, know that was one of
Speaker 5: those moments Where LOUISVILLE i think started to show despite the,
Speaker 5: record like they can compete with really good. Teams now
Speaker 5: winning against those good teams is a little bit more.
Speaker 5: Difficult but, yeah this, year and we'll get into this
Speaker 5: coming up on the other, side BECAUSE i think it's you,
Speaker 5: know it's tough to, know but.
Speaker 4: That's what we, do right talk college basketball year.
Speaker 5: Round and now we know the day those two teams
Speaker 5: are going to, play and we're just guessing at this, point,
Speaker 5: SPECULATING i should, say as far as who this might
Speaker 5: benefit more and who it might hurt more as far
Speaker 5: as this game being as early as it, is so
Speaker 5: we can get into that, also a loaded show throughout
Speaker 5: these next two hours and forty five.
Speaker 4: MINUTES i, mean how about My pacers last?
Speaker 5: Night that was, Insanity AND i think there are some
Speaker 5: numbers that will make you realize that if you watch that,
Speaker 5: live you witness something That And i'm not just saying
Speaker 5: this because it's My, pacers but like that was one
Speaker 5: of the craziest come from behind victories you'll ever see
Speaker 5: as far as like everything that took.
Speaker 4: Place, OH i turned it.
Speaker 5: Off, OH i MEAN i had just turned it on
Speaker 5: When Nie smith got the follow up dunk for The
Speaker 5: pacers and they reviewed it to see if it was.
Speaker 5: Goaltending so at that point they reviewed it counted the
Speaker 5: basket put him down. Seven SO i literally locked in
Speaker 5: as soon as the magic, happened AND i was in
Speaker 5: disbelief after the fact THAT i think everybody clearly In
Speaker 5: cleveland was as. WELL i, mean that was that was,
Speaker 5: Insane so we can get into that. ALSO i didn't realize.
Speaker 5: It this is A it's one of those things Where
Speaker 5: i'm just, happy very happy that my wife takes care of.
Speaker 5: Me kind of Like i'm you, know Like i'm her
Speaker 5: kid as far as just you, know grown up responsibilities
Speaker 5: THINGS i would procrastinate about she gets.
Speaker 4: Done i've been.
Speaker 5: Thinking, like all, right, WELL i GUESS i got to
Speaker 5: figure out WHAT i need to do to make an
Speaker 5: appointment to get one of these real. IDs WHEREAS i
Speaker 5: didn't know, it But i've actually had a REAL id
Speaker 5: for a while. Now oh, Wow SO i these things
Speaker 5: shouldn't fascinate me because you, know it's unfortunate that that
Speaker 5: it's been an inconvenience for, folks and that the state
Speaker 5: Of kentucky is having a tough time getting this, thing you,
Speaker 5: know get making it to where people can actually get this.
Speaker 5: Done everybody wants to get it, done and you, know
Speaker 5: it sounds as if it's just been a real train.
Speaker 5: Wreck BUT i do have some you, know somebody just
Speaker 5: want to get to a little bit later when it
Speaker 5: comes to that kind of. Stuff, also it sounds Like
Speaker 5: Tyler shuck like might just flat out be the starting
Speaker 5: quarterback for The saints this year Because Derek carr has confirmed,
Speaker 5: that like the whole season for him because of his
Speaker 5: shoulder is in. Jeopardy, now we'll see how it shakes,
Speaker 5: out but, like you don't draft a guy in the
Speaker 5: second round and sit him behind backups Like Spencer rattler
Speaker 5: and whoever else it, is knowing that those guys already
Speaker 5: had to play for it Injured Derek, carr and you
Speaker 5: didn't win any. GAMES i, MEAN i shouldn't say they
Speaker 5: didn't win any, games but like they know what they
Speaker 5: have on the roster Without shuck when cars, hurt and
Speaker 5: like it didn't the.
Speaker 4: Answer so that's exciting to.
Speaker 5: ME i, MEAN i, mean if that's the way it plays,
Speaker 5: out who knows how much success The saints And shuck,
Speaker 5: have but like that's the perfect scenario for him in
Speaker 5: this draft to have, fallen you, know but to a
Speaker 5: team that you know isn't terrible but like has some decent,
Speaker 5: pieces has a new head, coach so we can get into.
Speaker 5: That and Then James scott has picked a. School i'm
Speaker 5: not sure if you guys have seen. That it was
Speaker 5: not one that had been discussed a whole, lot but
Speaker 5: we'll certainly talk about. That and then last but not,
Speaker 5: LEAST i say that there's a lot of other things
Speaker 5: we'll get, into but as far as WHAT i want
Speaker 5: to at least throw out there here in our first,
Speaker 5: segment THE acc HAS i guess confirmed they're going to
Speaker 5: make it change to THE acc basketball, schedule meaning no
Speaker 5: longer having twenty games per conference. Schedule they're going to
Speaker 5: go to. Eighteen but in TYPICAL acc, fashion the decision
Speaker 5: they decided, to you, know to make as far as
Speaker 5: how they're gonna change it, up is really, really really
Speaker 5: stupid and it makes no. Sense BUT i, MEAN i
Speaker 5: don't feel like THE acc has done much recently in
Speaker 5: basketball as far as results and JUST i, guess you,
Speaker 5: know decisions that have that have been a good. Look
Speaker 5: but we can get into that in a lot. More
Speaker 5: if you want to take us with you wherever you,
Speaker 5: go you can certainly do. That listen live on The
Speaker 5: iHeart radio. App also listen live at seven to Ninety
Speaker 5: louisville dot. Com and if you want to join us
Speaker 5: on the, show you can ellen And Federal Credit union
Speaker 5: tex line five four three eight ninety seventy three and
Speaker 5: we will open up the phone. Lines i'm curious to
Speaker 5: get your. Thoughts you like, it do you hate? It
Speaker 5: are you in? Between do you think it favors your
Speaker 5: team or hurts your? Team And i'm talking about the
Speaker 5: change to The Louisville kentucky basketball.
Speaker 4: Game we found that earlier.
Speaker 5: Today it's set For november, eleventh which will likely make
Speaker 5: it the second or third game of the season for
Speaker 5: both these, teams which again is just kind of. Weird
Speaker 5: but they could play it tomorrow and when we get
Speaker 5: to tip, off we'll all just be completely consumed by
Speaker 5: it because we're lunatics for this rivalry. Game all, right
Speaker 5: keep it lock right. Here It's coffee And. Company phil
Speaker 5: About thorton's On Sports talk seven.
Speaker 2: Ninety now back To coffee And, company fueled By thornton's
Speaker 2: On Sports talk seven nine.
Speaker 5: Day coming up here at about three forty, Five we're
Speaker 5: gonna check in with our Man Jeff milby From Racing
Speaker 5: louisville And Louisville CITY. FC i know they've got themselves
Speaker 5: a big game coming up tonight and he'll join us
Speaker 5: to talk about. That lucid is Who i'm referring, to
Speaker 5: So jeff will join, us coming up here. Shortly it
Speaker 5: Is coffee And. Company we are fueled Bout thornton's here
Speaker 5: On Sports talk seven. Ninety don't forget plenty of reasons
Speaker 5: to stop in at one of the Many kentucky and
Speaker 5: At thornton's. Locations and one of those reasons is because
Speaker 5: right now you can get the five dollars meal, deal
Speaker 5: two hot, dogs and a thirty two ounce fountain drink
Speaker 5: for just five. Bucks, also you can get Three coca,
Speaker 5: colas so for five point fifty you can get three
Speaker 5: twenty Ounce Coca cola. Bottles so again that may not
Speaker 5: sound like a, big big, deal but again go compare
Speaker 5: the retail price the average retail price. Elsewhere they're they're
Speaker 5: hooking you, up so take. Advantage as, always we are
Speaker 5: fueled By. Thornton so the decision to move the game
Speaker 5: the annual Louis kentucky basketball game this early in the,
Speaker 5: season a couple of questions that came in on the
Speaker 5: text line really were the same question as.
Speaker 4: To why they would do.
Speaker 5: THIS i don't, know but there had been some rumors
Speaker 5: that this was under, consideration AND i, MEAN i think
Speaker 5: it's It's louisville's year to. Host, therefore maybe they are
Speaker 5: more so in the driver's seat as far as when it's.
Speaker 5: Played but you do have to kind of work with
Speaker 5: one another to make sure it's a date that works for, both,
Speaker 5: Right i'm sure maybe one of the reasons why it
Speaker 5: hasn't been on A saturday in years past was because
Speaker 5: it just they had to put it in a certain
Speaker 5: spot because of.
Speaker 4: Scheduling but, also you, know this, YEAR i will, say.
Speaker 5: And AGAIN i don't want to act Like i've been
Speaker 5: behind the scenes getting updates on the date they were looking.
Speaker 5: At but it didn't sound like this was forced because
Speaker 5: they had to do. IT i think it was something
Speaker 5: That louisville wanted to do and or at, least you,
Speaker 5: know was okay with. Doing AND i Guess kentucky was as.
Speaker 4: Well BUT i get.
Speaker 5: It you, know if you're somebody that it's a big
Speaker 5: day for you on A, saturday maybe you have a watch,
Speaker 5: party you, know maybe you don't like the thought of you,
Speaker 5: know like maybe you know you're going to be very
Speaker 5: unproductive at work that day because it's going to be
Speaker 5: on your. Mind LIKE i, Understand but AS i said,
Speaker 5: earlier AND i think if you give it some, thought
Speaker 5: you'd probably. Agree we all probably have certain dates times
Speaker 5: we would prefer this game to be. Played but whenever it's,
Speaker 5: played we're going to be we're gonna.
Speaker 4: Be ready to lock.
Speaker 5: In BECAUSE i don't think we know how not to
Speaker 5: be you, know overly into this game and just you,
Speaker 5: know completely absorbed by. It one thing THAT i just thought.
Speaker 4: Of that could have been a.
Speaker 5: Factor And i'm Again i'm just you, know speculating here
Speaker 5: the like maybe this is now when the game's going
Speaker 5: to be, played like every, year BECAUSE i think what
Speaker 5: you're going to see is moving forward when you get
Speaker 5: a little bit later Into, november like you, know really Around,
Speaker 5: thanksgiving a little bit Before, thanksgiving maybe right After, thanksgiving
Speaker 5: like that stretch of you, know because you get sometimes
Speaker 5: you can get some conference games that take place like In,
Speaker 5: december like THE acc in The Big, TEN i, know
Speaker 5: would have those two random games that take place before
Speaker 5: you To.
Speaker 4: January but that event that is going to.
Speaker 5: Take, PLACE i think for the first time this, year
Speaker 5: it's basically one of those multi team. Tournaments that IS i,
Speaker 5: mean it's not LIKE i can't think OF. Mte is
Speaker 5: that what they called a multi team? EVENT i guess
Speaker 5: because that's what you had to do whenever we were
Speaker 5: trying to get games on the schedule DURING. Covid but
Speaker 5: there's an nil event that's going to take place In.
Speaker 5: Vegas that has led to certain teams like opting out
Speaker 5: of The Maui, invitational The battle For, atlantis like these
Speaker 5: Prestigious thanksgiving time tournaments that usually feature loaded fields with you,
Speaker 5: know three straight days of you playing really really good.
Speaker 4: Teams there are certain teams.
Speaker 5: That have dropped out of those because they, realize you, know,
Speaker 5: hey if we can get into a tournament where there's
Speaker 5: direct inil money set for our players and even more
Speaker 5: if they, win that will help us get more players
Speaker 5: to come and play for, us like having you having
Speaker 5: a spot in that.
Speaker 4: Tournament And i'll get the name of.
Speaker 5: IT i just and this may, not this may not
Speaker 5: have anything to do with, it but What i'm getting
Speaker 5: at IS i think there'll be more of. THOSE i
Speaker 5: think you'll, see you'll see and who, knows maybe maybe
Speaker 5: the events Like battle For atlantis Or Maui, invitational or you,
Speaker 5: KNOW i feel like there's Others i'm blanking. On but either,
Speaker 5: way like The Baja mar which, is you, Know louisville
Speaker 5: won The Baja Mar classic The Baja. Bullies remember that
Speaker 5: that was a while, time.
Speaker 4: Right, at one of the coolest.
Speaker 5: Trophies so if you you, know maybe those events find
Speaker 5: a way to round up money to where there's an
Speaker 5: nil and centive for teams to, participate and of course
Speaker 5: a bigger nil and senate if you, win because if,
Speaker 5: not teams are going to try to get in those
Speaker 5: tournaments because it'll just give them another advantage when it
Speaker 5: comes to recruiting. Players, hey we've got this nil situation
Speaker 5: set up for. You here's how much money you're gonna.
Speaker 5: Make and, also we play in this, tournament that's going
Speaker 5: to give you an added, payday maybe even a bigger
Speaker 5: payday if if we. Win so Maybe kentucky And louisville
Speaker 5: meaning Mar pope And Pat, kelsey you, know they realize
Speaker 5: this game is always going to be. Played maybe they
Speaker 5: just want to get it out of the way and
Speaker 5: know that it's going to be early every year because.
Speaker 4: Once you get To.
Speaker 5: NOVEMBER i, mean, look you could see teams play in
Speaker 5: like two of, these, right because, again if it's a
Speaker 5: chance to get IN il, money that's that's that's what you.
Speaker 5: WANT i mean that that keeps you from having to
Speaker 5: round up the money. YOURSELF i, mean you do need
Speaker 5: to have enough home games in the non conference portion
Speaker 5: of your schedule because you know those are usually, paydays,
Speaker 5: Right those are games where you you know you open
Speaker 5: up your doors and you make. Money if you're playing
Speaker 5: a bunch of neutral site, games you know you're probably you,
Speaker 5: know there's no there's no tickets to be sold for a.
Speaker 5: Game so, again just real, quick there's really no way
Speaker 5: to know for sure who benefits and who. Doesn't more,
Speaker 5: so in this game being played as early as it,
Speaker 5: Is i'll start With. LOUISVILLE i, mean when it comes
Speaker 5: to a, POSITIVE i guess you could, say BUT i
Speaker 5: guess we start with home, court home court.
Speaker 4: Advantage, Right they're gonna be at, home so maybe it you.
Speaker 5: Know and also but when it comes to the, players
Speaker 5: it's probably gonna be like an annual thing where each
Speaker 5: side will have very few players that have any like
Speaker 5: experience in this rivalry because guys just don't stick around
Speaker 5: that long.
Speaker 4: ANYMORE i, mean for, example.
Speaker 5: You'll Have Javon hadley back For, Louisville Canai ru's Back
Speaker 5: cason although he didn't play in this, game he was
Speaker 5: here last. Year and then some guys who sat out
Speaker 5: that were hurt that you, know didn't, play Like kobe And,
Speaker 5: Khalifa so you know you'll have Some but LIKE i,
Speaker 5: think it being, early like as much as it feels
Speaker 5: weird to, us because as long as we've been, alive
Speaker 5: we just we just when we think of this game
Speaker 5: and we envision the next one coming up on the,
Speaker 5: schedule we just think about A, saturday.
Speaker 4: Right that's probably what we've always.
Speaker 5: Done other than the hand you, know the handful of
Speaker 5: games here and there that have been on a different.
Speaker 5: Day these players don't, care like they're not like this
Speaker 5: is all new to, Them like they're not going to
Speaker 5: be overly thinking. It but if they, were you, know
Speaker 5: maybe they'll be a little more comfortable because they're on
Speaker 5: their home. Floor AND i would say another positive For
Speaker 5: louisville is that they've got. VETERANS i, mean you've Got Jamon,
Speaker 5: hadley who's going to, BE i, believe a six year.
Speaker 5: Senior same thing For Cason. PRYOR i, mean two of
Speaker 5: the guys you bring in are certainly. Experienced McNeely From.
Speaker 5: Virginia and THEN i don't know WHY i keep forgetting
Speaker 5: the guard's name From, xavier who may end up Being
Speaker 5: louisville's best player this. Year for some, REASON i just Completely,
Speaker 5: ryan is It? Conwell, yes, yes it doesn't sound is that,
Speaker 5: right con, Yeah, Conwell, conwell, yeah always FOR i Know,
Speaker 5: ryan for some, REASON i just want to always want
Speaker 5: to instead Of. CONWELL i feel Like i've got his,
Speaker 5: name but Anytime i'm about to say, It i'm, like
Speaker 5: well that doesn't sound.
Speaker 4: RIGHT i always want to say Like cronwell for whatever.
Speaker 4: Reason so you know you've got experience, there.
Speaker 5: AND i guess you know you should still be, healthy,
Speaker 5: Right like you know you will only have played, one
Speaker 5: maybe two games to where you won't really have to
Speaker 5: worry about LIKE i, MEAN i guess it could, happen
Speaker 5: but like it's. Not you, know you won't have thirteen
Speaker 5: games under your belt to where you've had two guys
Speaker 5: get injured like you did last. YEAR i, MEAN i
Speaker 5: guess an injury could happen in any, moment and you
Speaker 5: do have guys coming off of an, injury But caseen
Speaker 5: will be if, anything may be, rusty but like he'll
Speaker 5: be one hundred. Percent Ali khalifa's been. HEALTHY i, mean in,
Speaker 5: fact you know he really benefited from sitting out the
Speaker 5: entire year BECAUSE i think he's actually probably BEEN i,
Speaker 5: mean the plan was always for him to sit out
Speaker 5: as long as he, did and if you've seen him,
Speaker 5: LATELY i think it's for good, reason because he's completely
Speaker 5: transformed his, body he's recovered from. Surgery so you know
Speaker 5: that those are the pros For, Louisville AND i guess
Speaker 5: like the cons that might have you concern is that
Speaker 5: you really don't know a lot about your team. Yet
Speaker 5: if You're Pat kelcey and every you, know you're still getting.
Speaker 5: Acclimated like WHEN i think of The tennessee game last,
Speaker 5: year Clearly louisville just you, know wasn't as good As
Speaker 5: tennessee when that game was. Played but a big factor
Speaker 5: in that was, that Like louisville was still clearly just
Speaker 5: trying to figure each other. Out so maybe that could
Speaker 5: be a potential. Concern but you also can say the
Speaker 5: same exact thing About. Kentucky, Right so like some of
Speaker 5: the issues that you would worry about For, LOUISVILLE i
Speaker 5: think you'd worry about the same thing if You're. Kentucky
Speaker 5: and the things that you feel good, about, Meaning, okay
Speaker 5: this isn't this is an ideal to have this big
Speaker 5: of a, challenge this big of a matchup early on
Speaker 5: in the, season but you, know at least we've got. Vets,
Speaker 5: well they can say the same THING i mean With
Speaker 5: oway coming, back AND i Mean, aberdeen who's a. VETERAN
Speaker 5: i mean he's played a bunch of, basketball although more
Speaker 5: so in a backup. Role he's still a. Veteran the
Speaker 5: young man From pittsburgh whose NAME i always. FORGET i
Speaker 5: Know i've said this here and there over the. Years
Speaker 5: i'm not kidding. You there's nothing THAT i have rapidly
Speaker 5: become really really bad at than remembering. Names AND i
Speaker 5: used to be good at, it LIKE i used to
Speaker 5: be considered a guy LIKE i would consider Myself i'll
Speaker 5: remember names better than the vast majority of. People NOW
Speaker 5: i blank on like. PEOPLE i know it's IT'S i
Speaker 5: don't know WHAT i don't know what's. HAPPENING i, MEAN
Speaker 5: i don't know what it. Is but, anyways is It Loale,
Speaker 5: llewell the guy who transferred from Pitt you're supposed to
Speaker 5: know this stuff WHEN i don't know At Austin.
Speaker 4: Low right Low, Low, Yes Jalen.
Speaker 5: Low you get Like i'm not LIKE I i've probably
Speaker 5: said that name fifty times in the last two, months
Speaker 5: and it just completely is completely wasn't there in my.
Speaker 5: BRAIN i don't know what's going, on and you get
Speaker 5: my head. Checked so he's also a. Veteran so, again
Speaker 5: when you when you think about like both both teams
Speaker 5: will be relying on freshman to a certain. Extent kentucky
Speaker 5: Has johnson And, moreno but honestly those, guys LIKE i
Speaker 5: Know kentucky Wants Jasper johnson is starred because he's a
Speaker 5: five star and he's From, kentucky but, like Don't Mark
Speaker 5: pope isn't going to force it if he's not the
Speaker 5: guy that makes them best right, Away he'll come off the,
Speaker 5: bench and that's.
Speaker 4: The way it should. Be So louisville will.
Speaker 5: Rely on, freshman BUT i guess more than, anything they'll
Speaker 5: mean their point. Guard so maybe maybe maybe that is
Speaker 5: another potential concern For louisville is that they may be
Speaker 5: a little bit more reliant upon a freshman that early
Speaker 5: Than kentucky because by all, Accounts Mickel Brown junior is
Speaker 5: gonna run the show for it you and be your point. Guard,
Speaker 5: NOW i guess one area Where kentucky would be concerned
Speaker 5: about this game being so, early where louisvill wouldn't have
Speaker 5: to be worried is the injury situation With Jaden quainton's
Speaker 5: because right, NOW i MEAN i don't think there's a
Speaker 5: scenario he's even cleared to play in that game at that.
Speaker 5: POINT i could be, wrong BUT i, mean he suffered
Speaker 5: a torn acl at the end Of february Early, march
Speaker 5: one of those, two so, LIKE i feel like he
Speaker 5: probably would just be getting around to LIKE i mean,
Speaker 5: again if he's able to, play it would probably be
Speaker 5: like day of they find. OUT i, mean and if
Speaker 5: he hadn't played, MUCH i, mean do you really want
Speaker 5: to throw him out?
Speaker 4: There so, AGAIN i think.
Speaker 5: The things you feel worried about about your, team the
Speaker 5: other team's probably in the same, situation and things that
Speaker 5: would make you feel confident about this type of matchup
Speaker 5: being so early in the, SEASON i think the other the,
Speaker 5: opponent would probably say the same thing as. Well so,
Speaker 5: AGAIN I i'm not surprised there's so much complaining about.
Speaker 5: IT i really am, not just because you, know it's not,
Speaker 5: ideal it's not what we're used, to and it's just
Speaker 5: gonna feel. Awkward BUT i, mean there's clearly no changing. It,
Speaker 5: therefore as soon AS i saw, it you, know within a,
Speaker 5: Second i'm, thinking, okay well.
Speaker 4: Whatever play.
Speaker 5: Whenever i'll be a lunatic And i'll Have i'll have
Speaker 5: a panic attack leading up to the, Game i'm, sure
Speaker 5: And i'll have to remind. Myself you, Know, nick you
Speaker 5: shouldn't be this insane about this. Stuff you, know it
Speaker 5: doesn't it shouldn't impact your you, know your well being the.
Speaker 4: Way that it.

Speaker 3: two dollars happy hour coming up at six o'clock against
Speaker 3: the seven point thirty when the gates, open two dollars,

Speaker 3: what you get some live soccer afterwards against AN mls.
Speaker 3: Team it's going to be a, really really memorable. Night
Speaker 3: should be a fun. Game LIKE i, Mentioned, minnesota a
Speaker 3: good team in THE. Mls, yeah Lou city obviously the
Speaker 3: best team in THE. Usl there the only undefeated team
Speaker 3: in THE. Usl and how about, This, nick here's a
Speaker 3: fun stat for. You there are ninety seven professional men's
Speaker 3: soccer teams in The United states Of. America ninety seven
Speaker 3: Between Major League, soccer THE Usl, CHAMPIONSHIP Usl League, one
Speaker 3: AND Mls Next, pro which is like THE mls reserve.
Speaker 3: Leaue ninety seven teams that are only two two in
Speaker 3: the entire country that have yet to take a loss
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five and Lou city is one of.
Speaker 3: Them Your Louisville city two out of ninety seven teams
Speaker 3: In america that has unbeaten to this point in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Five so it's a team worth coming out to see
Speaker 3: tonight as they take On.
Speaker 5: Minnesota so for those who are like myself That i'm
Speaker 5: so intrigued by the fact that you even have a
Speaker 5: chance to play AN mls, TEAM i know This with
Speaker 5: THIS Us Open, cup it gives you chances for these
Speaker 5: type of matchups to. Occur how often does it. Happen
Speaker 5: i'm assuming it's, rare BUT i know it has happened
Speaker 5: BEFORE mls teams losing two teams that, are you, know
Speaker 5: from a lower level.
Speaker 3: League it happens once or twice every year in this,
Speaker 3: tournament and Lou city's been able to do it one.
Speaker 3: Time this will be the eighth time that Lou city
Speaker 3: has played AN mls team in THIS Us Open, cup
Speaker 3: and they're one in six in their previous previous matchups WITH.
Speaker 3: Mls back in twenty, eighteen they beat The New England
Speaker 3: revolution three to. Two again that has played AT u
Speaker 3: Of Lvelyn stadium before Our Lynn Family stadium was. Built
Speaker 3: that's the one time the Lou city has been able
Speaker 3: to get the better of AN mls. Team they're relatively rare,
Speaker 3: upsets but they do happen in this, tournament which is
Speaker 3: what makes it so. Fun and a couple of years,
Speaker 3: ago twenty twenty, two we had A usl Team. Sacramento
Speaker 3: they made a run all the way to the title
Speaker 3: game of this tournament and lost To, orlando AN mls.
Speaker 3: Team so it's a tournament, that LIKE i told you
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks, ago it's got THAT ncaa tournament.
Speaker 3: Feel you got The david Versus goliath kind of matchup
Speaker 3: where A usl team in the second division can take
Speaker 3: on one of the big boys FROM. Mls and by the,
Speaker 3: way about this game, tonight it could be a trap
Speaker 3: game From. Minnesota i'll tell you why they're Playing miami
Speaker 3: on the. Weekend Lion O messi plays For. Miami you
Speaker 3: know they're focused on that. Game so they're gonna come
Speaker 3: here tonight potentially Overlooking Louisville. City and this is a
Speaker 3: low city team, that like everybody should know by, now
Speaker 3: is quality is really. Good they do nothing but, win
Speaker 3: and they'll be ready for this one. Tonight so they've
Speaker 3: got a real, OPPORTUNITY i think a golden opportunity tonight
Speaker 3: to pull off that upset against AN mls team for
Speaker 3: just a second time in team.
Speaker 5: History answered my next question a little bit BECAUSE i was,
Speaker 5: thinking if You're LOOSE cityfc and you're looking at the
Speaker 5: POTENTIAL mls teams you could. PLAY i, Mean, minnesota you
Speaker 5: know you can't take them, lightly but it looks as
Speaker 5: if one that is not super you know that you're
Speaker 5: super fearful. Of, however on The minnesota, side if they're
Speaker 5: looking at teams from THE, USL i, mean there's no
Speaker 5: way that THEY i, mean they wouldn't pick LOU cityfc
Speaker 5: if they had a, choice, RIGHT i mean they're facing
Speaker 5: one of the best teams in THE, usl and one
Speaker 5: that's been that good for many many years.
Speaker 4: Now, YEAH i.
Speaker 3: Mean Lou city is the top team in the, league
Speaker 3: right they. Haven't they've won the two. Titles they probably
Speaker 3: should have won the title last. Year it was an
Speaker 3: upset when they lost in the playoffs after they won
Speaker 3: the regular season. TITLE i mean last season's team for
Speaker 3: Lou city was one of the best teams IN usl.
Speaker 3: History they, scored they had over eighty points in the
Speaker 3: standings or over eighty, GOALS i should, say over the
Speaker 3: course of the. Season it was a, really really terrific
Speaker 3: team and they just they came up short in the
Speaker 3: playoffs in a in a really disappointing. Way but every,
Speaker 3: year this is a team that's a contender for their league.
Speaker 3: Title Louisville city every year they make a run on
Speaker 3: The every single, season we are spoiled every single. Season
Speaker 3: up until last, year they made it to at least
Speaker 3: The Eastern conference final in the playoffs nine straight years
Speaker 3: where they made a run to the conference. Final it's,
Speaker 3: unprecedented not only in, soccer BUT i, mean can you
Speaker 3: name a pro team that goes to their semi final
Speaker 3: of the playoffs every single? Year that's What Louisville city
Speaker 3: did up until last. Year so this is a winning.
Speaker 3: Organization this is a team that knows how to. Win Danny,
Speaker 3: cruz the head, coach is a. Winner AND i tell
Speaker 3: you one other thing to watch out for. Tonight it
Speaker 3: will be a really interesting coaching. Matchup Danny cruz is thirty.
Speaker 3: Five he's the second youngest coach in THE. Usl probably
Speaker 3: gonna head to THE mls one, day right with a
Speaker 3: bigger opportunity whenever that day. Comes but his opposite number
Speaker 3: tonight Is Eric ramsey From. Minnesota he's thirty. Three he's
Speaker 3: the youngest head coach IN mls. History so a couple
Speaker 3: of young coaches going ahead to head. Tonight so it'll
Speaker 3: be interesting to see which one comes out on. Top
Speaker 3: but it's two really good defensive, Teams i'll say as,
Speaker 3: Well Nick minnesota maybe the best defensive team and all
Speaker 3: Of Major League. Soccer and so far Lou city all season,
Speaker 3: long has given up just six goals in their nine.
Speaker 3: Games so two teams that know how to prevent the
Speaker 3: opponent from. Scoring but we'll see what, happened and it's
Speaker 3: going to be a really interesting one. Tonight AND i
Speaker 3: tell you Lou city has a, great great opportunity to
Speaker 3: pull off an upset and shock The american soccer world
Speaker 3: tonight and Beat minnesota at home at seven thirty At
Speaker 3: Lynn Family.
Speaker 5: Stadium Jeff milby's our guest joining us here On Sports
Speaker 5: talk seven. Ninety f they pull off the upset, tonight
Speaker 5: everybody in the soccer world will have no choice but
Speaker 5: to put some respect on the, name which they should.
Speaker 5: ALREADY i, mean we're talking LOU. Cityfc as we, know
Speaker 5: they've been. PHENOMENAL i think the racing lou is the
Speaker 5: one that really needs to start getting some. Respect but
Speaker 5: when it comes to this, event THE Us Open, cup
Speaker 5: this is the round of thirty two taking place yesterday and.
Speaker 4: Today so if.
Speaker 5: The win happens, tonight they would move to the round of,
Speaker 5: sixteen as would they continue to?
Speaker 4: Host how does that?
Speaker 3: Work they Will they're guaranteed to host their next round
Speaker 3: game Lou City is if they. Win that draw has
Speaker 3: already happened and there's the potential to host ANOTHER mls.
Speaker 3: Team if they, Win Saint louis takes On omaha and
Speaker 3: the other game that they're paired up. With omaha is
Speaker 3: from a league Below lucity AND Usl league, won But
Speaker 3: Saint louis is IN, Mls so if they Beat, minnesota
Speaker 3: you'd Expect Saint louis properly to go through Against. Omaha
Speaker 3: they'd have the chance to host ANOTHER mls team in
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks. Time may twentieth Or may twenty
Speaker 3: first is when that game will take. Place there will
Speaker 3: be a you, know have to sort the schedule out
Speaker 3: after this round of, games but it's an opportunity to
Speaker 3: shock the shock The American soccer world, tonight and then
Speaker 3: another chance to do it in a couple of weeks
Speaker 3: if they advanced. Tonight and, again this is a tournament
Speaker 3: with a lot of. History it's one hundred and ten
Speaker 3: year old. Tournament this is the one hundred Tenths Lamar
Speaker 3: HUNT Us Open cup goes back to the early nineteen,
Speaker 3: hundreds PREDATES, mlast predates every soccer league in THE us
