WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.200 It's time for coffee and company. 2 00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:07.519 Fueled by Thornton's. 3 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:24.359 On Sports Talk seven nine day, Now here's Nick Coffee. 4 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.439 I feel like this is, you know, legitimately important breaking news. 5 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.719 But then again I kind of kind of question what 6 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.960 I just said after considering it. The SEC has made 7 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.439 it official that they are going to require schools to 8 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.880 submit injury reports before every game. That is, I mean, 9 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.240 that's something, But I feel like you're gonna be able 10 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.399 to You're gonna be able to, like still be very 11 00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:57.479 vague if you want, and get away with it. Because 12 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.600 if I list John as doubtful to be able to 13 00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.519 start a tight end for us because he's been dealing 14 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.239 with something like I can just tell everybody when he 15 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.159 starts and plays every snap, just a miraculous recovery. We 16 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.319 said a prayer before the before we went out there 17 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:13.959 on the field, and we got out there. It's a 18 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:15.640 power of God. You know, you gotta I got to 19 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.560 give the game ball to Jesus Christ because we prayed 20 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.439 over John's hurt knee and now he's out there catching touchdowns. 21 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:21.959 It's just an act of God. And you know, you 22 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.640 never doubt him. You can never question him if you 23 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.480 guys think there's any funny business going on, you take 24 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:27.519 it up with the man upstairs. 25 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:29.560 I mean, like, I feel like that's that quote came 26 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:30.959 straight out of Daboswiney's mouth. 27 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:33.760 I mean, I'm just riffing, but like I could see. 28 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.079 Like I mean again, like if somebody says, yeah, he 29 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.519 was hurting, now he's not, or uh, he was good 30 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.680 and you won't believe it. He had a flare up 31 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:42.719 in the in the uh in the locker room, Yeah, 32 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:44.359 comes out and yeah we got we got him in 33 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.480 a full body cast. He got hit by a car 34 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:48.760 in the parking lot this week, but then he was 35 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.719 ready to go and then it just flared up. So yeah, 36 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:52.159 that's why he's in a full bot. Like you could, 37 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.239 you could get away with it. Now if there's actually 38 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.159 like legitimate documentation, you've got to provide that, you know, 39 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.840 shows that you're track like you know. But I just 40 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.480 think if you really want to be vague about it, 41 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.040 you can. I think there's there's a lot of college 42 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.359 football coaches are consistent as far as how they handle things. 43 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.639 They're all kind of caddy wanting to be super secretive. 44 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.199 But I do think the injury stuff before a game. 45 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.759 It really is based on the coach's personality. There are 46 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:18.400 some coaches that do not care if you know about 47 00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.400 an injury. There are some coaches that are gonna do 48 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.719 whatever they can to play the gamesmanship card and keep 49 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.360 everything as super close to the best as they can. 50 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.639 So anyway, yeah, the SEC is going to require all 51 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.719 schools to submit injury reports before every game. All right, 52 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.719 it's coffee and company. Feel about Thornton's here on Sports 53 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.360 Talk seven ninety. Don't forget you could take us with 54 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.680 you wherever you go. Listen live on the radio app 55 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.560 Listen Live. It's seven ninety Louisville dot Com. It's our 56 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.639 number two and we now bring in a special guest. 57 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.120 It's mister Kendrick Haskins from Way three Sports. How we 58 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.599 doing today, Kendrick, I'm good. 59 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.199 I'm just sitting here and just looked up at the 60 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.039 monitor and it's said the current temperature outside is one 61 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:54.680 hundred and one. 62 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:55.960 I'm like, that's insane. 63 00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.919 He sure doesn't say swamp ass. You sure doesn't say that. 64 00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.319 Brother's go go outside. 65 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.080 Yeah, stay indoors where it's cool. If you have ac 66 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:10.479 I saw somebody today at a red light hot as hell. Outside, 67 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.159 and they had a new car. I'm talking like probably 68 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.520 twenty twenty one, twenty two or newer. I mean it's 69 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.840 a new car, new ish car, and you can have 70 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:19.840 a car that agent maybe the AC's out, but like 71 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.000 it looked like the person was choosing to not have 72 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.680 the AC on in their car. And again maybe it 73 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.560 didn't work, but like that psychopathic behavior. I think if 74 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.599 you have AC today and you choose not to use it, right. 75 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.879 Up there with the people who'll be he who are 76 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:35.199 in full blown hoodies. 77 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.159 Oh yeah, dude, well what's up with kids now? 78 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:40.879 Like it's the weirdest thing. 79 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.639 So I had a buddy from mine from Florida to say, 80 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.840 they do it down there because the ke's the heat 81 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:47.960 off their skin and i the sun off their skin. 82 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.400 And I'm like, I get that if you're wearing the 83 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.800 thin ones, but they're wearing the full blown, thick cotton 84 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.479 hoodies runner walking around in ninety ninety five degrees outside, I. 85 00:03:58.479 --> 00:03:59.879 Don't get it. I mean, I guess they're I guess 86 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.319 are built different. They're they're either really stupid or they're 87 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.120 just a lot tougher than our generation. Because I mean, like, yeah, 88 00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.560 because if you because like tomorrow night at the high 89 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.520 school football games, you will see a lot of kids 90 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.280 out there in excruciating heat wearing hoodies. And I'm like, 91 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:14.680 what do you like? 92 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:14.960 How? 93 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.519 How do I just don't get it? I don't, I don't. 94 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:18.279 I don't get it at. 95 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:22.360 All of that though, as you know, when it starts 96 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.959 when it's freezing outside and around November towards the. 97 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.160 End of the season, shorts, there will always. 98 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:28.639 Be football coaches out there in shorts. 99 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:29.920 Oh yeah, that makes look tough. 100 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.839 Yeah, oh yeah, it's It's just it's an image they 101 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:34.800 try to portray. I think if it's okay to admit 102 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:36.839 you might want to throw on some pants or that 103 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.879 you might, you know where, you know, wear short sleeves 104 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.439 because it's hot outside. I guess I'm I'm out on 105 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:44.879 the fat on the latest fashion stuff because it's it is. 106 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.519 I mean, I I'm glad you said something about that 107 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.480 because it's so true. I know, and I look at 108 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.480 people in question like this, maybe they've got like a 109 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.959 skin condition, because who would be wearing long sleeves right now? 110 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.720 It's one hundred degrees outside. It's it's crazy. 111 00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:57.560 All right. 112 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.199 So we've got football season around here. Actually, starts this 113 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.160 week and Week zero was a nice appetizer. But the 114 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.360 local teams are in action before we get into sort 115 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.360 of a potential thing you could see that might make 116 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.879 you feel pretty good, because these teams are coming here 117 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.319 to get a check and go home, hopefully not injured, 118 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.680 and you know their season ruined. That's just how this works. 119 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.040 But before we get into that. In your coverage over 120 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.519 the years, is there a game of this of this, 121 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.920 you know the bye games where teams can you think 122 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.120 of like the worst beat down ever or a team 123 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:27.959 you saw that came in that just kind of looked 124 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:29.839 the saddest and you were like, man, I'm sure they're 125 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.839 ready for that clock hit zero and they can get 126 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.720 out of here because they don't belong. The one that 127 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.720 comes to me is basketball. When Isaiah Thomas brought FIU 128 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.120 in here. Do you remember that years ago? 129 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.319 Yes, it was so funny. 130 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.399 He didn't get up off the bench. The whole game did. 131 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:48.839 Not between him and remember when Clyde Drexler was Oh yes, 132 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.120 and he'd never left the scorer's table and. 133 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.079 He looked as if like he just wanted to be 134 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.839 out there being Clyde the Glide and not really doing any. 135 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.920 Coaching or it looked like he read be anywhere else 136 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.120 but in the arena. 137 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:02.959 Yeah, that was bad. 138 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.040 That was a bad form as coaches have always been. 139 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.600 Remember I remember when Dad Marley was at Grand Canyon, yea, 140 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.040 and they came here, and I remember he actually did coach. 141 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.399 And I remember because we used to shoot down by 142 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:17.560 the opponent's bench at that. 143 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.519 Time, so his son was like sitting right by me, 144 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:22.639 so I was talking to him in timeouts and stuff. 145 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.560 Dude, some of these former players that get into coaching, 146 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.480 I mean, they like a lot of them don't need 147 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.040 to coach, you know what I mean. Like they they're 148 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.879 they're financially in a good spot. Like their legacy as 149 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.040 a player is pretty good. And like I guess if 150 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.560 you just want to be around basketball. But like you know, 151 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.079 like if I played the game and I was around 152 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:42.800 it a lot and I retired, like I have a 153 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.720 hard time thinking I would want to get into coaching 154 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.680 unless you know, I just had to for a way 155 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.279 to make money. But some of these dudes who do it, 156 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.279 like you know, like why did Magic Johnson feel the 157 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.000 need to be the GM of the Lakers? He got 158 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:53.240 eighteen other things. 159 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.120 Going on ego. 160 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:56.519 That's all that is. That's true. 161 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.519 I mean it's rarely that you see a great player 162 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:00.879 in the being a great coach. 163 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.240 Like Larry bird is won, he was a pretty he 164 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:04.920 was a good coach for the Pacers. 165 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.000 Shut out my Pacers. 166 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.680 I think when Rondo decides to actually start going into. 167 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.160 Coaching full time, I do think he's going to be 168 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:12.879 a great coach because he's so smart. 169 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.720 But for the most part, it's never great players that 170 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.160 go with that are good coaches. Yeah, they think. 171 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.959 Because everything came so easy for them because of their talent. 172 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.759 They're like, well, why can't you do this? Like does 173 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:24.720 your magic Johnson? 174 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.160 Yep. And I I mean most of the guys who 175 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.120 do coach and have great success were players, but they 176 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.120 were the guys who probably sat and observed a lot 177 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:35.360 because they weren't elite enough to be out there. That's 178 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.040 a good point. I mean, I know it's been it's 179 00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:38.959 it's kind of a trend before, but that's I mean, 180 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.240 even like Bill Belichick, I mean, a guy who some 181 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:43.160 would say is the best ever Popovich. I mean those 182 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.519 are guys who, again, they were around, they were exposed 183 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.480 to the sport, but it was never never because they 184 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:48.759 were elite as players. 185 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.480 Yeah, I think Belichick was like a lacrosse player or 186 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:52.480 something crazy like that. 187 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.000 Yeah, he volunteered. I think he volunteered to just be 188 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.040 on the sideline one year and you know, just kind 189 00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:58.959 of mean. To say he worked his way up would 190 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.680 be an understatement considering the career that does that he 191 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.800 put together. But Louisville and Austin p on Saturday again, 192 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.240 Louisville thirty six and a half point, favorite's likely going 193 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.079 to be a big beat down. I hate these games, 194 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.279 but also understand why they exist. And the reason I 195 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.279 hate him as a fan, specifically just as a fan 196 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.759 is that I like to figure out each week something 197 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.319 about my team, and that's almost impossible to do. Because 198 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.360 if Louisville was in a closer game to where they 199 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.839 won by twenty nine and didn't cover, some would say, 200 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:29.399 although that's concerning, they didn't cover. I would also say, well, 201 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:31.439 it's because they know. They didn't really have to turn 202 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.840 it on, because the human element kicks in when it 203 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.000 comes to sports, like you know who you're playing, and 204 00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.000 then if you do blow him out by eighty, that's great, 205 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.240 that's encouraging, but you also have to remind yourself of 206 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.919 who you played. Is there anything that you are you know, 207 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.879 if Louisville's looking to after one week feel like they're 208 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:49.320 on pace to be the team that they want to be. 209 00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:51.960 Is there one specific thing you could see Saturday that 210 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:53.080 you think would support that. 211 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.120 I think if the offense is moving the ball and 212 00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.960 it looks more like the brom offives that were accustomed to, 213 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:01.759 I think that would be a good sign. 214 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.000 I mean, yes, they should do that against Austin p 215 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:05.679 but you want to see that. 216 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.279 You want to see them move the ball up the 217 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.879 up and down the field like we're accustomed to seeing. 218 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.240 So I think that's one thing. And then on. 219 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.960 Defense, you want to see if the defense is as 220 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:16.519 good as hype. 221 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.759 Because I really do believe this defense is going to. 222 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.480 Have the has the chance to be one of the 223 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.279 best defenses that Louisvill's had in a very very long time. 224 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:25.919 When you look at the pieces and you look at 225 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:26.879 Julyatti over there. 226 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.080 And everything they have. So those are kind of things 227 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:29.679 you want to see. 228 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.120 And I feel like as a fan, you want them 229 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.559 to blow them out because like, if that game is close, 230 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.639 if they don't cover it's one thing because because I 231 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.360 hate I stay away from games like that because oh yeah, 232 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:46.399 they get up a late, right, But like if it's 233 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.279 one of those things where they're like in a nail 234 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.840 bier at halftime, then that you worry a little bit. 235 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:52.840 So as a fan, you kind of want to see 236 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.440 them go ahead and take care of business early. 237 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.559 Yeah, I'm with you on the defense, especially because and 238 00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:59.279 even if they do shut them out, I mean, it'll 239 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:00.799 be a good sign. You know, you'll know who you 240 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.600 did it as far as the opponent. But I'm starting 241 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.519 to sense that Brom's comments about the offense during those 242 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.440 fall camp scrimmages, I'm starting to get the sense that 243 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.799 those within the program are starting to let it out 244 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.320 that you know, maybe they now realize that the offense 245 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.320 had some struggles in camp because you know, what they 246 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.120 were going up against a really, really good defense, which 247 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:22.200 you know, there's probably not going to see that many Clemson, 248 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.320 of course, is always going to pack a great defense there, 249 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.279 and there'll be other teams that'll give you a great look. 250 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.200 But I mean, if Lowell's defense is as good as 251 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.080 advertised and these really high level players continue to play 252 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.399 at a high level, you know, Tyler Shuck may tell 253 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.000 us at the end of the year that fall camp 254 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:38.080 might have been some of the toughest toughest times for 255 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:39.639 him as far as going up against a really really 256 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.240 good defense, his own defense that you know, makes life 257 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:43.759 a little lazy for you if you're a quarterback, right 258 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:45.399 or the defense is great, you know, there's not as 259 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:47.320 much pressure for you as the QB to go out 260 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.919 there and just be you know, electric every night. I mean, 261 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:51.480 if you can, it'd be great, but there's just not 262 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.840 as much pressure there. It gives you a nice insurance policy, right, Right, You. 263 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.320 Don't feel like you have to score every time you 264 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:57.320 go out there. 265 00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.360 On the field because it's face that most times you're not. 266 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.440 And Jeff's teams that Purdue felt like that, right, Like 267 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.440 that's how in a Western Like if they didn't score 268 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:05.919 every time, you felt like you were in trouble. 269 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.159 Western still like that, Yeah. 270 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.919 That's true. Brand has has has been consistent, no doubt. Right. 271 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.759 So with Kentucky, you know, they're playing a team from 272 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.519 from the Sun Belt in Southern miss who has tradition 273 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.720 and clearly has had some great teams you know historically, 274 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:23.600 but they're really down expected to be one of the 275 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.679 worst teams in their in their conference, and Kentucky is 276 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.559 also big favorites here, a little bit of a step 277 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:30.919 up from Austin p considering again, this is Southern Miss. 278 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.279 But I mean, what could Kentucky put out there to 279 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:36.200 where you feel like they would you know, be able 280 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.000 to understand that it was level, that the result was 281 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.480 based off level of competition, and that it's tough to 282 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.600 really know, but like, what could be something they see 283 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.240 to make them kind of feel like they're on track 284 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.000 to where they want. 285 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.480 To be a Southern myths beat them? And though was 286 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:50.879 it twenty sixteen. 287 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:54.080 Oh yeah it was Shannon Dawson got canned by Mark 288 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.080 Stoops and ended up calling the place for Southern I 289 00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:57.879 forgot about that. 290 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:02.440 Yeah, and so but with that one, I think Southern Mississippi. 291 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.320 Southern Miss is one of those teams is always tricky because, 292 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:09.120 like you said, they do have great traditions, and they 293 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.559 have teams here and there they can sneak up and 294 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.639 get you like that team did in twenty sixteen. And 295 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.200 so I would like, I want to see how good 296 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:21.080 this quarterback really is and because you know he came 297 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.399 in there laid against Kentucky last year when they played 298 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.240 at Georgia, and so I really want to see how 299 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:29.759 good Brandon griff is. And so again with them, it's 300 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.240 can they move the ball? Because you know the defense 301 00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:34.720 is going to be there. Kentucky's defense is always. 302 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.799 Going to be good, and they bring back more starters 303 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.360 I think than anybody in the SEC on defense. Right. 304 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.679 I was stunned when JJ Weaver came back. 305 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.200 So he's one of those six year guys. 306 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.879 Yeah, and one of the nicest kids you've ever made. 307 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:48.480 I love JJ. 308 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.240 And so they're going to be tough on defense. With Kentucky, 309 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.279 it's always candy. Offense moved the ball in this face. 310 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.720 I mean they've had a different offensive coordinator now what 311 00:12:57.919 --> 00:12:59.919 five years in a row, something crazy like that. 312 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.759 So you want to see what this new offense is 313 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.200 going to do. 314 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.559 And be honest, it's Stoop gonna let the offense be 315 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.519 the offense and be electric because I can Stoops prefers 316 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:11.159 as to run the ball. 317 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:11.879 Let's be honest. 318 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.000 Oh, he's aroused if they win six to three, Kendrick. 319 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:17.399 Right exactly, and so are they. 320 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:20.120 Is he gonna let this offense turn loose if they 321 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.440 have the opportunity, because they definitely have the playmakers on 322 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:25.360 the outside with those receivers, So when we see that, 323 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:26.840 that's always a big question with UK. 324 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.720 Yeah, this guy may be a star, the play caller, 325 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:31.919 the guy they brought in from Boise, But I'm going 326 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.159 to tell you when you're in the sec and you 327 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:37.279 can pay what Kentucky can pay, and Stoops has clearly 328 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.039 put them in a much different situation than they were 329 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:40.759 in prior to him. To me, that was the kind 330 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:43.240 of higher that from an outsider's perspective and maybe a 331 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.360 little bit of a hater on my end, that's the 332 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:47.360 guy you hire so you can still control the offense. 333 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.519 I'm sorry, that's just the way I saw it, and. 334 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.399 I feel that's kind of what it's been. 335 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:53.639 Yeah. 336 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:59.039 Yeah, because they they've had teams like even last year. 337 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:00.480 I mean they've got weapons. 338 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:02.080 That's the craziest part about it. 339 00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:04.639 They do have weapons. There's no use of them. 340 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:11.120 Yeah, I mean those two receivers at any points if 341 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.039 I mean again, it's all it's going to come down 342 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.000 to their quarterback. You know, can can he get it done? 343 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:16.679 Can he make throws? And I know they had drops 344 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:18.919 last year and the hype was really unreal for both 345 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.799 Danky and Barran Brown. And I've said it a few 346 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.960 times during the summer. If those guys at any point 347 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.320 go off and put together a performance against anybody that 348 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.080 looks like it was, you know, one of the best 349 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.600 wide receiver performances you'll see on a college football Saturday, 350 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:32.399 I'm not going to be surprised because I think both 351 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:34.399 those guys are really, really talented. 352 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:36.879 Of course, they had their best game of the season 353 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:37.360 last year. 354 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.759 Oh I know, I know, they came on late, they 355 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.399 stopp dropping balls at uh at Elean and Cardinal Stadium. 356 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.399 Just how, just how it's just the football gods torturing 357 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:49.120 someone like myself. But uh yeah, that's thanks for reminding me, brother, 358 00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:49.720 Appreciate that. 359 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:49.960 Man. 360 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:55.200 All right, let's talk about your Cowboys. So obviously Ceedee 361 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.679 Lamb gets paid and that needed to happen. I mean, goodness, 362 00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:58.440 gracious that guys. 363 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:02.519 What's going to happen the whole time? Yeah, Dallas being. 364 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:06.960 Dallas, Dallas being Dallas, well, Dak Prescott, Like I think 365 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.200 Cowboys fans are so hot and cold on Dak, Like 366 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:12.519 there's some that they're to support him for life and 367 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.799 claim that you know, he's he's great and he's not bad. But, 368 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:19.399 like I think the best way to describe dak situation 369 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:22.799 with Dallas from an outsider's perspective, it just kind of 370 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:24.639 seems like it's run its course. It's not to say 371 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.039 that he's bad and then he's uncapable of being the guy. 372 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:28.440 But it kind of feels like if it was gonna 373 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:30.639 break through with him, it would have happened. But then again, 374 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.799 you know, there's not that many quarterbacks out there that 375 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:34.759 you know are better than him, right, he's not. He's 376 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:36.480 in that weird tier for me, Kendrick, Like, he's not 377 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:40.000 at the top tier, but he's better than most and 378 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:42.240 that can get you paid, that can keep you around 379 00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:45.000 a long time. Because no, even Dallas wouldn't acknowledge this 380 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.720 guy is as good as Mahomes or Alan or Lamar. 381 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.879 But you know what, like he's he's better than you know, 382 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.360 going and getting Jacoby Brisset, who's gonna start for the Patriots. 383 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:56.039 So from a Dallas Cowboys fans perspective, like yourself, like 384 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.279 what do you want to see them do here? 385 00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:01.960 With Dak, it's like I've been living the same It's 386 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.559 like groundhol day when it comes to quarterback, because Dak 387 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:05.759 is basically. 388 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:07.399 Romo two point zero. It's the same thing. 389 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:08.759 Yeah, it's a good point. 390 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.480 The only difference is that Romo would show up in 391 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.679 big games in the regular season, yeah, which Dak doesn't. 392 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:16.240 Do that Dak. 393 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.919 Dak is great against teams that are five hundred and below, 394 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:22.519 but soon as they as soon as the bright lights 395 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.399 come on against a big time opponent, that goes into 396 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:25.840 a shell. 397 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.759 But at least Romo in the regular season they would 398 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.080 show up. 399 00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:32.840 I mean they had a fourteen to two season one 400 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:35.559 year and then in the playoffs when Romo. 401 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:37.840
