9.23: Work Those Zebras - Hour 1

with my vehicle, which we talked about Saturday. Just busy, busy, busy. I mean I was out at a four and five year old flag football game in the morning, then straight to tailgating, then inside and like a lot of you not sure I've ever swept that much in my life.

And I'm not blaming any meteorologists here, because I mean everybody said it was supposed to be hot, but like I didn't look at the temperature forecast like ahead of time or even when I would check my phone and be like, damn, is it the hottest day in the history of the world today, Like nothing would tell me it was hot, but nothing would tell me that, like this is next level, but man, it felt like it.

I don't know what it was. Probably a mixture of just very hot temperature and disgusting humidity, but man was it was sweaty. And then yesterday, well nobody probably cares about this, but yesterday was just a busy day we honored. Well, it was my nephew's birthday who passed away a couple of years ago, and just a big family day and that's just there's I don't know, I feel like today's one of those days where I need a day to

recover from the weekend. But I used to say that, and it was just about you know, like being a twenty something year old that would just drink too much and be an idiot. Now it's just because you know, life, you know, sometimes you just need, you know, a day to reset because life is just you know, not bad, just you know heavy. But I can already tell within the first two minutes of the show today this is what I needed.

I could describe it. And if you were out there in the heat, then you know, like no matter what, if you were just outside, you were just going to continuously drip sweat. And I know some people sweat differently, like I'm I'm probably like a mid level sweater. I'm not somebody who just you know, is all the time just dripping sweat. But like, I don't care if you're

somebody who rarely sweats. You were sweating your ass off on Saturday if you were outside, and it just felt like one of the I mean I heard people talking about it being one of the hottest days ever at at Cardinal Stadium for a Louisville game, and I mean I would believe that just because I was there, But again the numbers would surprise me. Like it wasn't like it was over one hundred degrees. It was like ninety one.

Ninety two I think was the high. But I think it was a reminder for us, and we talked about it all the time. John. It's that damn humidity that's what makes it just so unbearable at times.

on Saturday. And I'm just curious how many of those sixty thousand, I wonder, were there like from start to finish, because shout out to you here, I am complaining about how the heat was just a pain in the rear in But you know, I was at a football game for about an hour and a half in the morning when it really hadn't got that hot yet. Although it was hot early, I knew it was going to be

a brutal day. And then you know, I get in the car, ac run home, grab our cooler, drop my daughter off, and then myself and my wife and Moose went to the game. We tailgated. We were outside for probably I would say, I don't know, an hour and a half hour and forty five tailgating, and then we went into the game and you know, not indoors, we weren't in any kind of a suite by the way or anything like that. And then we left it half time because I had to get situated for the post

gum show. So it was miserable for me. But shout out to you if you were at Bourbon and Beyond all Day, because like, props to you for living. I feel like I would have died. I'm not built like you people who do the all day music festival. Shout out to those guys because like that, I mean, I hope you were hydrating.

so kind, they were so nice. We talked about that, just not that long ago. So anyways, it was it was a scorcher, and you know, I hope to never the rest of the way have a game where it's and I'm yeah, you mentioned the falls here. It's getting to the end of September, so I would imagine that that's probably the last super hot football game we're gonna have at Cardinal Stadium. But again, it is Coffee and Company. We are feel about Thornton's here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Appreciate you guys hanging out with us here today. I am still a blessed Nana as of right now, and I still have not heard a single thing since we started the show Friday, and I shared the story about what happened in my car, and I'm not going to get back into it right now, but the first text I saw was somebody asking for an update about my vehicle. And I am still a blessed Nana, thankfully, but I have I have not had any like The dealership has

been cool as hell. Shout out to them. I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about them, but I'm gonna make sure I find a way to get approval and maybe I can start talking about the dealership on this show, and you know, in a consistent way, because they've been great and nobody from AutoZone has reached out. I've left two messages talk to one person of like corporate, and they all took my info and like not nothing,

not nothing. So it stressed me out, John, I don't know if you can tell, but like I'm very I'm starting to get worried that I may like not have a vehicle for a long time. And even if in fact, like AutoZone did, like and they already have, like they've already admitted theirs a it's their fault by sending it to the dealership and it being built to them to fix, right, Like that's you can't dispute that you weren't fault here.

But like they got lawyers, Like if I tried to say, look, my car's ruined, you need to get me a new car, like you know how even if I won and I came out on the end where they had to in fact do exactly that, you know, long that probably take in the fact that they haven't offered to get me like a rental or anything like that. They're lucky. I'm a blessed nana because if not, then I'd be I mean, I'd be raising hell, which I probably should be. That's what's got me so, you know, worked up about it.

But we'll get to the car later. But I want to say this. Have you ever driven a car that is pushed to start? I have, but it was like, not my car. Yeah, well so I my car's not and my cars are twenty nineteen, like it's new. But obviously there's new cars made every year, so I don't have push to start. And I keep getting out of the vehicle with it running and shutting the door and walking away, and then people are like, uh, hey, your car's running. So happened this morning when I went to

the doctor with my daughter. Happened on Friday when I first started driving it. So I gotta I guess eventually you get used to it. But I've never I've never driven a vehicle, you know, other than maybe a rental for a day or two that is a push to start, and it's convenient, but like routine for me, is always like if I've got my if I've got the key in my pocket, then we're good because I'm you know, but that's not the case to keeping me in your pocket.

You can walk away. So anyways, let's talk about what happened on Saturday. And trust me, there's a lot to get into with Louisville football overall, and this week it's a huge week. You've got Notre Dame a top fifteen I guess top sixteen matchup. You're already in a really good spot as it stands right now, and a win

here would be huge. I don't care what it would mean about Notre and their season essentially kind of being because again Louisvill is gonna be the last ranked team that they're going to play at home, and they I mean, if Louisville is even close to the team that a lot of people think they are, Notre Dame, this is huge for them, Like you're gonna get their best game. And I got to tell you, and I don't. I don't think louisill was great on Saturday. I'm well aware

Notre Dame could win. I know that their favorites, but this is not even coming from like a cocky standpoint. It's just the truth. I'm not worried about Notre Dame. They can beat Louis well again, anybody can if little didn't come to play well, But I'm not worried about Marcus Freeman. I don't think he's that good of a coach. And their win at Texas A and m you know, to me, it's whatever they lost to Northern Illinois, who, by the way, I don't know if anybody paid attention

to what happened in the MAC. You probably didn't because why would you. But Northern Illinois, after beating Notre Dame, then lost to Buffalo, who was picked to finish tenth out of twelve in that league. I mean they won't their quarterback Riley Leonard. That's his name, right, is it? Okay? Was he at Duke? Yes, okay, I get him confused, man, But anyways, like he's he's not really looked good for them, and he's been injured. I mean he has one passing

touchdown on the season and two interceptions. You know, they only put up twenty eight points against Miami Ohio. Again, they lost to Northern Olinois on their home field. So this isn't to say like, Hey, Louisville's going to go in there and beat their ass. I just feel like Louisville is capable of playing well and winning and I'm not gonna beat Like it's not to me. This isn't You're going up to South Bend to pull off the unthinkable. You're a higher ranked team than them, so I'm excited

about that. But anyways, let's get to some quick quick hits here on Saturday's game. Like, I know, we do a postgame show. I think that's a different audience for the most part, and usually when the game just ends, you know, it's hard for me to have you know, I usually have an idea of where I want to go as far as how I want to start the show, which direction I want to go in, as far as initial takeaways. Then we hear from Coach Brown, we hear

from callers, and we kind of go from there. So you know, I love the postgame show and it's a lot of fun and I thank all of you who tune in. But usually by Monday, I've got some belated thoughts, as they say, and here they are. I'm kind of afraid to say it, John, but like I don't think they played very well, but they also didn't play like terrible. Like put it this way, it was not a clean game, and some teams can go ten eleven wins and not really be a clean football team. Right. You grind it out,

you went ugly. You know, you just happen to make the right plays at the right time that dictate who wins and who loses. So I want to give Georgia text him credit because I still think they're good. I was consistent last week. I think they've got a good

football team. I think they've got a good coach. And clearly he must be a real fan favorite of the a referee favorite, because the way he was granted that time out in the third quart, I mean, that was insane like that and if that would have been like the game changing play, I mean, again, it all worked out for Louisville, But like that was I yelled and screamed and cursed in a way that like, I haven't

watching Louisville sports in a long long time. I was lifeless with basketball, and then last year it was just such a honeymoon season. But I was angry, to my surprise as far as how angry I was when the refs gave Brent Key that time out after the play, after the ball was already snapped. But it also made me feel alive John like it was like, oh, this is It was a renewed type of energy exactly. And that's why I like last week I kept saying, I

kind of feel like the season hasn't started yet. I feel like this opener against Georgia Tech really is the opener, and that that moment where I, for the first time just completely lost my mind probably didn't look good again. My wife was upset at me. I mean not really, but like you know, put it this way, Moose heard some words he's never heard before. That's what it comes

down to, and that's not a good look. And he's so receptive, Like if he ends up cursing, it's gonna either be because he's around people we don't know that are dropping f bombs and whatnot, or it's gonna be his dad's fault. Like there's no way around that. So I just got to be mindful of it. But anyways, I respect Georgia Tech, I really do, and teams don't play clean against them, even when they beat him like

Georgia was. Georgia beat him by one score. Last year, they never lost consecutive games, and they still haven't under Brent Key. So I'm not here to tell you that beating Georgia Tech means that Louisville is legitimately a top fifteen team. I mean they are right now based off the rankings. But like that wasn't like, Okay, now we know this team is legitimate, Lealie. I still think they can be. I haven't really seen anything that tells me, oh, maybe we don't have as good of a team as

we thought we had. Haven't seen that yet. Now I don't like where we are from an injury standpoint, which I'll talk about here in just a moment. But you know, I give Georgia Tech credit, and I look when Louisville was able to take advantage of a really stupid decision by Haines King where he threw that ball. Don't know what the hell he was thinking. He went full will

Levice there in the first quarter. And you know, credit to Ramonte Pierre and the rest of the defense being ready and knowing that that was a live ball and they hopped on it scored. That's a defensive touchdown. So like some would say, that's luck. But no, like, if you stay locked in, you're a good football team, all coached, you're well prepared, you're disciplined. You make teams pay for doing dumb ass stuff. And that's exactly what you did

with Haynes King. Those aren't Those aren't plays that happen very often in games, right, pretty rare. You know what else is rare? A blocked field goal for a touchdown, But we got that one too. That's just you know, staying locked in and making a big play that can flip a game. It's huge, even that your Corey Brooks touchdown where he got caught up, they called pass interference and then he just spun around ball right where it needs to be. That's a score. I mean, that's a

talented player making a big time play. So I don't know if you'd call that luck. That's just having a dude that is better than their dude. But it speaks to this team. You know, someone say those are flukey type things and you can't bank on those things happening night in and night out. But if you stay locked in and you you know, you play, you put yourself in that situation. You just make you know, you make

people pay and adversity had kicked in. I mean, I think they knew that Brent Key was handed a timeout that you know, I don't want, I don't want to present it as if Louisville's being screwed by the reps.

But there were a couple of things that, like, even though the players are told to lock in and not worry about it and just hey, next play, stay focused, all that stuff you hear from coaches, like they're humans, they know that they just got screwed by a couple of calls, and yet they still were locked in and made made big plays. So, you know, I think because of how some of those scores happen. You look at the box score and you wonder how Louisville won, and

it's because again the specific types of scores. They got, a special team's touchdown and a defensive touchdown. Georgia Tech had more total yards than Louisville did, four ten to three twenty six. Neither team could run the ball, and that is a little concerning for me. I mean, you've got Maurice Turner who is out doesn't sound I don't, I don't. I think Jeff word for Words said not optimistic whenever he was talking about Maurice. So you know,

Cheney played but didn't didn't do a whole lot. And you know, I think Louisville's running game was, you know, was supposed to be, you know, best case scenario for your running backs this year, I think was that you clearly don't have a Jawar Jordan and you don't have an Isaac Garrindo, but you've got a stable of really solid running backs and a young freshman who might eventually be a superstar, and that should be good enough. Well, now you've got Donald Cheney, who it sounds like it's

still not one hundred percent, and Maurice Turner's out. So the run game, you know, we knew it was not going to be what it was last year, and my whole thought was that it didn't need to be. And sure enough, when the run game wasn't working, they were able to air it out. I mean, Tyler Shuck, you know, I think we learned about him in that game. Thirteen and nineteen, tw hundred and sixty nine yards, two touchdowns.

I mean, not perfect by any means, but like I think we got ourselves a pretty good quarterback that I feel confident in. It was surprising usually Jeff. Usually with Jeff, I feel like if the running game isn't like I just assume that if there's any sign that the running game might not be working and you might not be able to get things established, that he would happily abandon it and say, all right, here we go, let's air it out.

you know, that was just the team he had. You were going to be a good team offensively if you got the running backs going. So I'm a little worried about that. But you know, maybe Maurice Turner comes back healthy, and you know, maybe we see Isaac Isaac Brown become a phenom sooner rather than later. But yeah, you know, to see that You're leading rusher on the day was Cheney, who had just twenty three yards. I mean, that's it's not great, but hey, you still won, you still were

able to You're still able to win. And I love I mean, ja Corey Brooks, that's a guy that you know. Again, four catches, one hundred and twenty five yards a touchdown on five targets. I mean twenty eight yards after catch. I mean, he's really special. Chris Bell just two catches, but both were huge. Jayden Johnson played well and now he's out for the year, which is a real bummer. You know, when it comes to the tight ends. I still think you've got you gotta like what you have

with with Redmond and Jamari Johnson. So I feel good about this team. But I'm also fine with saying that they didn't play great. But it doesn't mean, oh I'm worried about the trip to Notre Dame. I just think Georgia Tech does a good job of uglying things up and I still think they're a pretty good team. And Louisville won the game by twelve points and cover the spread. So now you move on to Notre Dame and it's a big week folks like I don't need to tell

you that. I think you all know. I mean, we can make fun of Notre Dame for not being in a conference and not really being relevant in a long long time. Like I shouldn't say relevant. They are relevant. They're always gonna be relevant. Maybe, I mean that was the wrong way to word it. They've not legitimately like

done it. There's not anything on their resume that stands out in a long time for their standard that would make it, you know, they would make they would give them justification to feel the way they feel about themselves, if I'm making any sense here, right, Like Notre Dame, I mean, you ask their fans, they believe they are the premier program in college football, no questions asked. It's Notre Dame. It's the Irish Rudy all that, all that

lame stuff. Right, But they haven't won a national championship in how long you have a guest, John, I'm gonna look it up here, putting you on the spot here.

you still have the brand value? I mean again, the brand value is there, but you know, you gotta wonder if twenty years from now they don't win a title, that wouldn't they shouldn't be a shocker considering the fact that they haven't done it in thirty five, thirty six years, But like, well, they still have this same I guess image and brand.

They have a national fan base that even just if it's those people alone watching right, just the Notre Dame fans watching on NBC or Peacock, the numbers there still make it to where if we're gonna chalk up who in fact really moves the needle in college football, like they're always going to be there, but it definitely has changed. Louisville now is going up to South Bend for the third time in ten years. And it's not just because you know you've got a good team. It's not just

because you know you have one up there before. But like this is not viewed as oh, like, hey, we could play really great and still lose and we're gonna build from him. No, you go win the game. I don't know my always got so high. Mickey Mouse is here. Oh boy, there you go. Thank you. John Gotta sounded young man, not even like clearly that was me doing a Mickey voice, but like that, I feel like it was twenty years ago. So you need is a little magic.

We don't need the magic Mickey because me can just go play good, clean football and leave there with a victory. Good stuff, all right, real quick, before we get to our first break here injuries, Quincy Riley, you know, one of your best players, maybe your best player, depending upon you know, NFL draft people, nflgms, that kind of stuff.

He is listed as a game time decision, and I hope he plays, but I kind of feel like if he does play, it's hard to think he's gonna be fully healthy, and my gut tells me he won't play. I shouldn't even say that, and I already regret it after saying it, because I don't want anybody to think I've talked. I'm not talking. I've talked to anybody. I

have no clue. Although his mother on Twitter did act like he was going to be okay, which is good, but you know what she's supposed to say, right, So it's clearly not super serious to where it's like season ending. But it just didn't seem like Jeff felt good about having him available. And maybe I'm overthinking it, maybe I'm worried because obviously you don't have him. That's an issue. So that's the biggest one. Jayden Thompson a receiver who again was expected to be the guy that stepped in

in place of Colin Lacey. And he played, I mean he played well. I mean so far on the year. I mean, let me just pull up his numbers again. It's you know, two of your three games were against nobody's, but you know he had he's had six. He's got six catches on the season, averaging fourteen yards per reception. He's got two touchdowns. I mean he was a solid, serviceable receiver that you're now You're now you don't have him for the year, Colin Lacey. You know, they're still

saying he's a game time. But I'm gonna look at it as if he plays, it's a miracle. I just think it. You know, I don't know, maybe they're doing the ultra gamesmanship stuff here and that he's good and they just don't want people to know. I don't know. But you know, without Jayden Thompson, I mean I can't sit here and tell you that I'm now worried Louisville

can't win on Saturday up there in South Bend. But like, that's not ideal to lose a guy who was the starter because you lost the initial starter on first string in Colin Lacey. So yeah, not a not a great day when it comes to injuries, But that happens. That's part of football. It's part of football. All right, Let's get to a quick break. We got a lot to

get into when it comes to the NFL. Who's good, Like I don't know, I know early on there's always results that that you know, look a lot different when you revisit him. A couple of weeks later. But I'm not sure we've ever seen it like this where the Raiders win in Baltimore against the Ravens only to then, you know, lose to the Panthers, who were I was quite sure they weren't gonna win a game all year. I mean, Sam Arnold is the best quarterback in the

NFL right now statistically. What but I told you two years ago he'd be out of the league. You would not have argued. You would have said, yeah, that makes sense. So it's been crazy in the NFL. So again, we are Monday's, you know, the drill. It's a lot of reaction and we'll do exactly that the rest of the way. So stick with us right here. It's Coffee and Company. Feel about Thornton's on Sports Talk seven ninety. That's right,

coffee and Company here on a Monday afternoon. Thank you guys for hanging out with us here on Sports Talk seven ninety. We are fueled by Thornton, So I would appreciate it if you sign up to become a member of the Thornton's Refreshment Awards program.

The question that somebody asked a moment ago, I'm trying to kind of think here on the fly of an answer, and I think I think you're right. The question was, is it safe to say that Louisville is, without question the second biggest matchup this weekend on the college football schedule. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking here and I could be missing some games, but there's one game that is clearly better than any than all of them, and that's Alabama and Georgia.

I mean that's going to be I mean, that's that's a big time game, right. But outside of that, I mean, you got some ranked matchups with Oklahoma State and Kansas State, you know locally here. I know Kentucky fans are eager to see what their team does against ole Miss down there in Oxford, and ole Miss is a top top

six team. But I would say, when you've got number fifteen and number sixteen, yeah, I mean, to me, it feels like there is one game that really is it on its own planet, right, and that's this Alabama Georgia game that is set for seven thirty. And I am surprised that even though it's in Tuscaloosa, that George is only favored by a point and a half. I don't know, like has Kaitlin de boor DeBoer debordbor. I barely know her.

Such a lame dad joke. I'm sorry, but he's getting the Saban like he's getting the Sabin bump about with some stuff here. And maybe maybe it's because George. Look, Georgia fell from number one to number two because they lost a close game to Kentucky. But like I still think Georgia is without questioning, one of the best, I mean,

the best team in the country. And they've proven that, I think, despite that close call against and they've earned the benefit of that out for so long now that even though they did drop from number one to number two, and everybody was making the obvious observation that, wow, they shouldn't have been in that close of a game with that Kentucky team. But like, nobody's gonna try with a straight face to tell you that they're not as good as average, right So, I don't know.

Peacock game. For those who don't know, you will have to watch this game on Peacock. And I feel like this is the first time for Louisville football because we've had games before where you have to fire up. I mean, heck, when they played when they played Jacksonville State, you could only watch that on stream. So yeah, it's I mean, I guess we're still at a point where people say

the game is not even on TV. Well the computer. Yeah, But like I think those are people that probably still turn on Spectrum News one and see Lachlan McClain's handsome face every day and they still have like a box and that's to me, that's them, that's TV. And if it's not coming from that box that's underneath their you know box television and standard definition, then you know, then then it's it's streaming somewhere. It's on the computer. To get my laptop out, But like technically every game I

watch is online. You know why, because I'm streaming from YouTube TV. I'm a chord cutter. I'm an og. I'm one of the earlies or the early. I mean, i've been I've been cord free. Is that still? I haven't heard anybody mention that in a while, But like I know, at the time, are you cord cutter?

And it's gone up more than doubles since I first signed up, because I was early enough to where I was getting it for nineteen ninety nine a month for like three months, and then it bumped up to like, I don't know, thirty nine thirty nine nine in a month, so I got the introductory you know, discount for a few months I think it was, and now it is a lot more than that, but it's still worth it, and it's better than what I was paying for for

direct TV. So I'm gonna watch on Peacock. I mean, I'm sure everybody's gonna watch on Peacock, but you know they'll be it'll it'll still be viewed as appointment viewing for anybody who wants to watch it, which I assume is going to be Notedame fans and mobile fans, or just somebody who wants to keep up with this game. Maybe you bet on it, because if you're just wanting to consume a Saturday afternoon of college football on Saturday.

Even if you're a cord cutter, you still have like a dashboard right like where you can you know, not really channel surf if you know what I mean, but like you can go from channel to channel. Peacock's only gonna have one game and it's it's not within your streaming app. Actually, I don't know, do you know? I'm sorry. You have Hulu Live.

So like there are people who have no memberships. They just turn on their TV and again they got Spectrum News, one Weather, on the ones. Lochlan McClain, he's first thing you see when you turn it on, and that's not a bad thing. That's probably what's keeping Spectrum in business. To be honest with you, Lachlan is a legend phenomenal guy. Have I gasked him up enough? Love love love Lachlan McLain. So like, not only do you have to go find

it somewhere, you gotta pay for it. And that's where I feel like, people will either bitch and complain or they'll go somewhere and watch it, or maybe they'll do both. I don't know, but just be advised. Three thirty Peacock on the Cock. We are making our debut on the Cock on Saturday at three thirty, and I hope we move to one to zero on the Cock after what happened that.

I do. It's like, you know, if I couldn't watch the game, I wouldn't be qualified to do postgame show, right, I mean it's so so, but I just I don't know, like I'm gonna do what I what I'm gonna do, Meaning like they could tell me that I had to pay ninety nine dollars to watch this game, and I'd probably find a way to make that work. Like that

wouldn't be ideal, That's not a realistic scenario. So the people that are complaining, I still feel like they're going to find a way to watch it because you know, it's it's part of what we do. We're fans, all right, quick break we'll come back on the other side. Keep this party rolling along. We got this is how you know you're you're getting somewhere. John. We got a text that wants to wants me to give you a hard

time about your Hoosiers, and I'm not doing that. I'm not gonna do it, but I'll at least share what they had to say, because I'm loving this new life you've got as a Hoosier football fan, because Signette's got him, He's got them playing goodball. So don't go anywhere. It's coffee and company. We are fel about Thorton' right here on Sports Talk seven ninety. Love this song, Love this song.

right now, if you go to underdog. You can see the promos as soon as you get there. Twenty percent profit boost right now? Okay, I mean, did you hear me eight percent profit boost? So you know this is what I've got in mind right now. I'm going to go higher in receptions for Jamar Chase, higher than six and a half because I think he will bounce back. I think Burrow is gonna shine in this primetime spot.

I'm going to go over higher. I should say it's not over, it's higher, higher than one and a half passing touchdowns for Joe Burrow. And then I'm also going to go when it comes to the rushing yards for Jaden Daniels. Of course, he's the quarterback, the rookie for the Washington Commanders.

So and I don't think they did anything wrong, but the Indiana football Twitter account puts something out yesterday or Saturday, and it's a picture of the one and only Kurt Signetti, who is given this Hoosier fan base a shot in the arm like they've never received before when it comes to football. And like none of them that I've talked to actually think that they're like, you know, nobody's had her claim they're

gonna win the national championship. But they are four and oh for the first time ever, like not ever.

We're taking care of businesses, like you're not claiming we're Like, So what our texter mentioned and he was just having fun, he said, Indiana can't say all business when they do. I think I think what he actually said is they operate with bad business, backing out of their deal with Louisville with just a year's notice. So that's not Signette's fault. In fact, who's the a d I keep one to say, when's that Glass guy? How long has he been?

mix for one of those at large spots. I think they lose to Notre Dame, it's still gonna be really, really tough. But either way, like, there's nobody on their schedule that like I look at now and think, well, they just can't beat them. And if they and if it is Miami, well you know, maybe Miami's legit and that doesn't look at as a bad loss, and maybe you get to play them again in Charlotte in the

AEC championship game. So yeah, like Louisville, I'm not here to tell you that they're gonna be in the playoff. But like when you look at all the national folks that are putting together like their bracketology essentially, which I think is kind of cool. You know, some of them are mentioning Louisville is like a first full route or at least you know somebody that's that's sniffing close to it.

With Indiana, I've not seen that, But again, who on their schedule would you say, like, is is a real concern? I mean, obviously the Ohio State is.

really really, really really tough games. All right, quick break four o'clock hours coming up next right here on Sports Talk seven ninety
