9.12: Heavy Breathing - Hour 1

here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you hanging out with us, Nick Coffee, That is me the company man, mister John All on alongside today again for a Thursday edition of the show, and we're taking you up till six o'clock. Don't forget you can take us with you

wherever you go. Listen live at seven ninety Louisville dot com or listen live on the iHeartRadio app More Brooks and Done tickets to give away folks another pair today, another pair tomorrow, and we'll do that at five thirty, and I'm gonna tell you, guys, before we get to the end of the first segment here, I will tell you what we're gonna do today in order for you for you to be a potential winner of these two

tickets to see Brooks. And now we're gonna do something different today than what we've done throughout the week in regards to trivia. So stick around. I'll tell you that coming up here before too long, before too long, we're gonna have our first guest. So a rare three o'clock guess, but I think it makes sense. We've got Brian Edwards from Vegas Insider going to join us, coming up here at three point thirty to talk about not only tonight's

NFL Action, some other games. Obviously, Brian, he's in the sports gambling space and he's pretty good at it, a lot better than I am. So he'll tell us sort of some games, some picks that he's hot on. Coming up this weekend, we've got again, I mean, this is I mean, I'm complaining that it's not Friday. It's okay because today's the first day where the football weekend starts.

So people know what time it is. It's Texas State, the Bobcats. It's their time. Also, we've got Dolphins Bills, a pretty big time matchup. They do that to us in the NFL, folks. They'll give us some decent matchups to start off Thursday Night football first month or so, and then you get to like Thursday Night football later on in the year and you're like, oh, wow, yeah,

it makes sense why this is the matchup. So anyways, we've got that and Saturday a loaded day of college football, and I'm actually, you know, I'm bummed that Louisville's on a bye week and we don't get a chance to see this team in action and see them play a real team because they haven't done that just yet. But there's also some benefits to it. One, John, you and I don't have to work. That's it is true.

post game show. You know, whenever Louisville's on, I mean, even though they've played nobody's I still spend you know, ninety five percent of that window watching Louisville play, even when they're up four touchdowns, because you know, it's kind of what I do as a fan, and it's my job. I got to talk about it on the postgame show. But you know, tomorrow if Louisville was to play at three thirty like they are next week, you know, from three thirty to about eight o'clock, like I'm really locked

in on one game. Well tomorrow on Saturday, again I think it's Friday, Say tomorrow on Saturday, I can just go back and forth to whatever games I want, which, you know, let's that's a good way to experience college football. It's always better when you get to watch your team and you get to learn about them. But hey, we're getting one by week out of the way. We've already got the two bums on the schedule out of the way, and then from here on out, starting next week, it's

go time. We're going to see Louisville. Not against great teams every week, of course, but you know, teams that are better than who Louisville's played up to this point. And then Sunday, our second NFL Sunday of the season. So again, here I am. I've talked to myself into not being bummed that it feels like a Friday, but

it's not, because Thursday's a great day too. Thursday Thursday, I'm probably gonna eliminate some cold Bush lights tonight as well, try not to try not to drink any any Bruskis during the week but when you get to Thursday, I mean it's a weeknight, but it kind of isn't right. I mean, we're getting closer and closer to the weekend.

So anyways, three thirty Brian Edwards from Vegas Insider, we're talking about we'll talk some football and then at four thirty we're gonna be joined by doctor Larry beIN's of pro REEP Physical Therapy, and five thirty will be the giveaway. All right, So I want to start with a story

that is a big piece of news. I think it's a big development in the college sports landscape kind of maybe, like I think I was just telling Ian Vertries this John during in the hallway there before we started the show, because he was talking about the PAC twelve trying to

you know, come back to life. I think if there was any more like relevance in regards to these two teams that were the leftovers Oregon State, Washington State, and the other four members that are going to be joining the PAC twelve, they'd be getting made fun of more than they are because nobody really cares. You kind of

feel bad. I mean, honestly, Oregon State in Washington State, of all of the conference realignment, the musical chairs that has taken place, they got they're the ones they got screwed, like quite literally five six years ago the Power five, all the schools involved at that point, if there's two that are the ultimate losers, really really suffered kind of

a death blow, it's those two. So, I mean, I I don't have any I mean, I'm not losing sleep at night, I'm not crying, but like it would suck to be a fan of one of those fan one of those programs, and like now like you're you literally were the two that got left out. And by the way, like other schools that were not in the Power five now are like Cincinnati, uh TCU even is relatively new, Yeah, Central Florida, Houston. Yeah, So like you really got shafted.

Like you know, I don't think it's anybody's fault, but like you really got the short end of it, and I feel bad for you kind of. I'm to the point now where I just get older and I want to be really I want to be as transparent as possible. Can we stop, Like when you say you're sad for somebody you feel bad for him, wouldn't you agree? Nine out of ten times people are lying. It's just like a nice thing to say. It makes you seem courteous, but like we shouldn't lie to each other.

They did something in Vegas, which is actually kind of funny, but like, overall, you don't have a conference. There's two schools and anybody who actually had any real value as far as the PAC twelve brand, they're gone. They left, so like it's fraudulent for you to still claim that you know, the league exists, but you know, whatever, cope

the way you want to cope. But they had a scheduling agreement with the Mountain West where because this year I'm pretty sure that this is the one year they're doing it where Oregon State, Washington State, they play a lot of schools from the Mountain West. I mean are they are they kind of like technically in the league. I mean I think they are. So anyways, they could not come to a new agreement moving forward after this year.

So yeah, the Mountain West could not come to an agreement with and again they call it the PAC twelve. They couldn't come to an agreement with Oregon State and Washington State on a future scheduling model. There was a deadline in place. That deadline passed earlier this month, so that led to Oregon State and Washington State collectively just deciding we're just gonna try to start our own league. We're gonna call it the PAC twelve. You're not the

PAC twelve. Because there's the thing right now, here's what we know. Oregon State, Washington State are welcoming in Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, and San Diego State, and they're calling at the PAC twelve. It's the Mountain West one point zero. It's mean, that's what this is. And like anybody that sees it for anything else has just been fooled or not paying attention or honestly probably doesn't give

a damn. And I get it. So like, if this was a collection of schools that had more relevance, I think they'd be getting mocked. But I think people are like, hell, yeah, PAC twelve, keep fighting. No, the PAC twelve is dead. We can't bring it back to life. It's dead. It is gone. These two schools got left out. They're trying to flex as if they have like superior resources than

the rest of the Mountain West. When they don't like what, like, what does Oregon State and Washington State give the Mountain West nothing? You think that league has value because they've added those two teams to the schedule in some kind

of a hybrid format. No they could. I mean, in fact, keep playing your Mountain West teams and instead of playing one of these former Power fives that are now leftovers, go play a real Power four and you'll get more credit if you beat them, Like you have no value Oregon State in Washington State other than I guess by technicality, you can you can still claim you're the PAC twelve like it has a lead, Like there's somebody that is actually in charge of the PAC twelve conference even though

it doesn't really exist. So I mean in a you know, in a different in a different space, if you will, there'd be some like lawsuits as far as USC in Oregon and maybe Washington Arizona, maybe like filing a lawsuit. You can't still claim you're the PAC twelve. But you know what, the PAC twelve is dead. Nobody cares. It's sad that you're parading yourself around as if you're like, you know, your league disbanded and the two schools that got left out were the weakest schools you had, which

why again they were left out? So I mean, I it's news, I suppose. And the conference realignment stuff has always been a real interesting because again it's the one thing in the college sports space as far as talk shows, social media, the Internet in general, that people could throw out the craziest scenarios and people will run with it like it's a fantasy land. It is conference re alignment stuff.

So I think people feel bad for those that got left out, that they're not acknowledging this for what it is, which is no, you're the Mountain what you had a scheduling issue where you couldn't come to an agreement because the Mountain West is right, you need them more than they need you. Now they have gutted you and taken

four of your members, which is not ideal. But like the Mountain West was charging these two schools the PAC twelve to be a part of their schedule and they couldn't come to an agreement because these two schools didn't want to pay what the Mountain West wanted. And I think that's a good move on the Mountain West. Unlike whenever what's his name, the former commissioner of the ACC Swaffer that dumbass. I mean he had Notre Dame to

the fire. Notre Dame would not have had a season in twenty twenty, but they led him in the league. They only played a league schedule against the ACC, and they didn't mean that. If you were ever going to force them to join a league, that was the time to do it. And he didn't even try, according to reports, like he just said, Okay, they'll be all it'll be a revenue share when we have games on NBC, we're gonna get a bigger cut of that or something like that. So I don't know, I just I don't know why

I care. But calling this the PAC twelve is a lie. And again, if it's based off of technicality, you're kind of telling on yourself. If you're if your brands had real value, then you would start your own league with a new name. I think what they believe is that they're going to have some kind of a of a scenario here where they can get a seat at the table and then power in the power of power, I guess they want to be powered off. Yeah, prick, and

that ain't happening. Get in line with with with Tulane and Boise and James Madison like you no, you think you think? I mean, let's look at this on three sports put together a I guess a look at this is from Pete Nachos at on three sports schools to watch for expansion in the PAC twelve Memphis, Tulane, UTSA, Cal Stanford, UNLV, Air Force, Wyoming, and New Mexico. First of all, Colin Stanford ain't going nowhere because the ACC's

not gonna let him out. Not because they would be sad if they left, but because you let them out. You gotta let Florida State and Clemson. Now you're not doing that. And Colin Stanford, despite all the travel, they're gonna make way more money from the ACC than they would make if they stayed in If they stayed in the West Coast and join whatever they call this league. PAC twelve JV.

Now that's unfortunate, but like you don't have the I mean again, like, let's just say they added all those teams, what would make that new PAC twelve worthy of an auto bid with the ACC Big ten SEC in Big twelve nothing. You could make the case that there's other leagues that are more deserving than the new Mountain West.

you are? UAB, East Carolina, FAU Memphis, Charlotte, North Texas, Rice, South Florida, Temple, UTSA two lane Tulsa Wichita STATEA doesn't have a football program. So I would give the slight edge to the new Pac twelve slash Mountain West. But it's because of one school who has like a brand that has actually shaken some things up and made some noise historically in college football, and that's Boise State. That's it.

So like you know, it's all about sustainability. You know, if they can get some kind of a network deal and not be paying to play in the Mountain West, and that's where it makes sense from a financial standpoint, And if that's what it really comes down to, that's fun. But I also feel like this is not like this doesn't do anything for college sports. And here's what's crazy. The Mountain West is a pretty good basketball league too.

In fact, I'm I mean Oregon State in Washington State, they wouldn't even be a they wouldn't be top five basketball programs in the Mountain West. So anyways, it's I mean, it's it's getting a lot of attention that along with Shannon Sharp having sex on Instagram Live yesterday. I mean that story that that became a big story within the show yesterday. I mean not we didn't talk a whole lot about it, but it became the most talked about thing on the world wide web while we were on

the air, and I at least referenced it. But I mean, I'm just gonna say this, John, I listened to like ten seconds and then I realized, I don't. I don't need to listen to this. And I'm not like shaming anybody if they did listen. Do what you want, if you're into that kind of stuff whatever, like people, we

don't kink shame on this show. But there's something about just listening to man another man having intercourse that like I never want to hear again, Like hearing him hot, breathing, and like coaching up this woman named Michelle, like I felt like it was it might have been the it was probably the let me just say, it's the least heterosexual thing I've ever done in my life. I believe listening to Shannon Sharp and then realizing what are you doing?

Like again, like people watch adult com I mean, we don't, John, cause we're we just don't get into that smud. But like, apparently there's this big world within the Internet of pornography. I don't know anything about it, never seen it, but apparently it's a big deal. Like I get it if you watch it and there's there's there's a male and a female in what you're watching, like, I get it, no judgment, but like if there's no visual and you can just hear the man like that, you know, I'm

just gonna say this. I've heard. I know people have like played the sound on shows like we're not doing that. In fact, if I hear if I hear it, I'm running away. Oh. KSR had a full breakdown of it this morning. I'll give I'll give back credit. Matt did not know that it was just audio only. He just knew that, you know, he thought that something had leaked from Shannon Sharp on Instagram live and maybe there was

some visual of what he was doing. It was just audio, which means which honestly I think made it way more like this is real, Like this wasn't like he by the way, credit to Shannon Sharp. He did acknowledge he did not get hacked, like he just accidentally went live and there's no scenario you could say, well, he did it for publicity. No, this doesn't make him look good. I think I think the best look here from him

after the fact is that he did acknowledge that. Yeah, that's what you thought it was, and it was an accident. It wasn't me getting hacked. But like Shannon and Ryan were like talking about, they listened to the whole six minutes and I'm like, fellas again, do what you do, but like, why what do you? I mean, what do you Yeah, that's that's what she said. Well, I don't know if she would say that, but you know.

to see her in action. They've heard they they heard what she brought out of Shannon Sharp, if you know what I'm saying, And now they want to see it, they want a visual, They just they just don't want, you know, But I don't know, Like I I've just been really weirded out by that because again, I'm pretty comfortable in my own sexuality. And if you are batting for the other team, cool, I don't care. Love who you love. People are into what they're into. Again, we

don't kink. Shame on here we talk about butt stuff so exactly so, but like just with you know, Shannon Sharp's demo, for the most part, in everything he does is very male driven, right. He talks football, he talks sports on ESPN. Not to say he only has an audience of men. I'm sure there are plenty of female

listeners as well, but like, you know, like it. There's something about it only being audio and me hearing it feeling like I'm violating Shannon Sharp in a way that where if like if he decided he wanted to be you know, a porn star, a mattress actress, if you will, Like at that point, I mean, I'm not like I'm not tuning in to watch it, but like if it ended up on the screen in front of me, I wouldn't run the other way. If I hear him heavy breathing and humping and doing all that. I want to

ear muffs and run. That's what I do. And yet like it's still being shared all over the internet. Anyways, what a weird first segment we've had here. It is Coffee and Company and we are fueled by Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Appreciate you guys hanging out with us again.

Sorry Dillingham. We also got Thursday night football too, which I'm not sure if he's got to play on that. But I do. I'm all in on the bills. The bills are better without Stefan Diggs. I mean, all right, quick break, don't go anywhere. It's Cofee and Company you feel about. Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right, Coffee and company rolling along here on a Thursday afternoon. I mentioned that, I, you know, it feels like a Friday, but it's not, which is kind of

a you know, it's a negative vibe. But maybe Thursday is the new Friday when we've got football. We've got some college football tonight, NFL Action tonight, and then of course football for the next four days, which is awesome in my book. And joining us to talk to some football is the one the only Brian Edwards from Vegas Insider dot com. Brian, how we do today?

to make some adjustments after South Carolina dominated them. You got anything here? I mean it's a big number obviously, because Georgia looks like they're the best team in the country, not close. Kentucky look terrible against a bad South Carolina team? Is this one worth touching? You got anything you like here?

he was never gonna play there if he didn't. And I heard some some comments earlier from Kirby Smart about how much he still loves his young and they're still really close to this data where maybe they won't pummel them, but like they're gonna score points. And you know, I'm

with you. I think expecting Georgia to just score thirty five is not asking too much for them, and it wouldn't be shocked if they get in the forties, maybe even fifty, because this is one of those kind of games where I think Kentucky's got less momentum right now than I think they've ever had under Mark Stoops, other

than maybe his first couple of years. And if Georgia gets rolling, I mean, these guys could really start licking their wounds and just get completely I mean, heck, they could play good Brian and get hammered, because that's how

good George is. All right, let's look at this Memphis Florida State game, because Florida State, I mean, goodness gracious, terrible start owing to to lost to two teams that nobody would have ever I mean, the two teams that beat Florida State are there maybe the two best examples in the acc that Florida State would probably use as evidence, Hey, we are better than them, they are beneath us. We

need out of this conference. And then they beat you, and one of them did it in embarrassing fashion, and then they go into a bye week. So they've just been sitting there stewing on a terrible start to the season. Couldn't have worked out worse for him. Now they've got a pretty good Memphis team coming into town. What do you make of this one?

So FSU just looks horrible in the trenches. I mean, they couldn't run the ball against BC, who was the furthest thing from a nasty defense last year. Efcually ran for twenty one yards on sixteen attempts, and on the flip side, they give up two hundred and sixty three rushing yards on fifty two carries to BC. Nourvel's team lost a lot of talent and leadership to the draft. He got a big class of transfers and they clearly have not meshed yet. DJU has looked awful. We've definitely

got the quarterback advantage with Seth Hittegan. And last few times that Memphis has gone up to play Power five opponents, they beat.

I mean, I don't think it's crazy to say, maybe we'll see more from Georgia Tech to where they look pretty good, but like you can make the case this maybe. I mean, actually, I'll just ask you, is it crazy to say that Memphis at this point, three games in might be the best team that Florida State's played.

and fifty seven yards. Look, if you're giving up three to fifty seven pattent to Virginia, uh man, you better be worried about oh missus passing attack and the Rebels last eight is road favorite since the start.

their quarterback plays not great. Like I don't I can't sit here and tell you that I think South Carolina is a good team, But them getting seven at home against LSU, like, I mean, I feel like that's a pretty appealing pick. What do you like in this game?

Five star freshmen. He was beating triple teams consistently last week. And on the other side, they've got Kyle Kinnard in a transfer from Georgia Tech, who's already got four and a half tackles for lost, three and a half sacks, two forced fumbles.

the eighties late last season at LSU. But I mean, look, he still looks just as fast on an NFL filled scrambling around So I love that over fifty two.

up to fifty five, I would play it over. I'm also gonna go with the Colts minus three because I'm fading Malik Willis, who had zero career touchdown passes and three interceptions.

Enjoy the next four days. Of football and best of luck to you on those wagers, my man.

love this song. I no longer think of pounding beer when this song comes on because it's a drinking game song, which I've not participated in in a long long time and wouldn't Actually not that it's not that it's something to brag about as a as a father of two in his late thirties now, but like as I go over, I can chug beer better than I ever could. Like when I was a you know, degenerate bar hopping you know, young twenties guy that you know drank a lot more

than you know I do. Now I could put them away, but not quickly. Like I was not good at chugging. Did one keg stand during my college years and failed miserably and thought, Okay, let's not embarrass myself. Although I did a keg stand last year at the tailgate, might have been the momentum, the vibe. But like I did really well, even like not just for my standard, but for like, you know, I think a lot of people

would say that was a pretty impressive kegstand. How long you were up there, how much beer you put away. But now when I think of this song Thunderstruck, I think of Varsity Blues. There's a scene in that where they're just getting their ass kicked because they're hungover. And I watched Varsity Blues not that long ago, and when I hear Thunderstruck now, I just think of that scene. Good stuff.

They're just an ACDC cover band. It is insane how they sound just like them in their prime.

is very impressive. So what's crazy to me is that, like to your point, you could be you could sound good and be a popular band that people want to come and see because they love ac DC, but not sound exactly like him, because I don't know if there's many people that can and I'm not sure who the

singer is now. He replaced Dave Moody, who went on to do different things musically, And I mean I was blown away by like one, how great they sound, how great they were, But like I mean, I feel like if you do like a blind test, I mean I feel again, I'm probably gonna really offend some you know purists that are of the rock and roll genre, But like,

I don't know if I notice a difference. Like you know, I couldn't see what I was listening to, but I was listening to the Thunderstruck cover band and then ac DC, and they're I'm in the same setting, the same environment. I feel like I would not know the difference. But good stuff there.

They're gonna have a pet. They have a pet blood bank, which is pretty rare, and some people who have dogs, cats, pets, they may not even realize it, but your dog and cat can donate blood just like you do. And they want to encourage people to have their pets do exactly that because you can help save lives. So join the Jefferson Animal Hospital along with the American Red Cross on Saturday, October nineteenth, between ten am and two pm for their very first Pints for paws and people. It's going to

be a Jefferson Animal Hospital on outer Loop. Bring your pets, bring your family. They're gonna have food, live demonstrations on pet blood donations, and the opportunity for you to donate blood yourself to the American Red Cross. So Pints for pausing people October nineteenth from ten to two. All pets are welcome, All people are welcome from More information called FABO two nine hundred pets or visit pet Bloodbank dot

com Again. Jefferson Animal Hospital really appreciate them. They do great work.

an emergency. That's what it is. You're not planned for it. It just happens, and it's scary, and I'm not sure there's anything that can make you not scared when something's going on with your love when you're pet, but just know you can call and stop in at Jefferson Animal Hospital and they're gonna be there to help you. They've got a doctor on site every day, every night, even Christmas. So again, we appreciate them over there at Jefferson Animal

Hospital on outer Loop. All Right, we got two more hours to go and a lot more to get into. I want to talk more about it, but when we get to Thursday, John, that's kind of when it turns to what we start just talking about betting on games, right.

and company. Feel about Thornton's right here on Sports Talk seven ninety
