Brutal Welcome…. · JustIN Time

0:07
Welcome back to another just audition of the Just in Time
0:10
podcast. I'm your host and you go we'll
0:12
with us here today. How you doing?
0:14
Back and again. Back and again, brother.
0:17
Yes, Sir. We got Kentucky on the chopping
0:22
block today. Can.
0:24
Turkey can Turkey. And I was telling you before,
0:28
but I just feel so bad for those people.
0:31
Well, I didn't never seen that man.
0:33
That's just so funny, man. Joe Sloan, I think I saw, I
0:38
told, I told you this a couple weeks ago, I saw Kentucky based
0:42
article that said Joe Sloan, the revolutionary, revolutionary.
0:49
Where was he the last couple years of LSU?
0:52
What is this revolutionary? Finally trying to find himself,
0:56
brother. Because all he did was run the
0:59
ball up the gut. I hope y'all got some good
1:01
running backs and a good offensive lineman.
1:02
And man, for their sake, I mean listen, I want him to to find
1:06
himself at our expense. He can find himself at another
1:10
another week on the schedule. You know, and we're, that's an
1:14
away game for us, a second away game of the season on October
1:18
10th. Yeah.
1:22
But yeah, look, just Is that the only coaching change that they
1:25
made at Kentucky? Well, new head coach.
1:28
OK, they got a new head coach. That head coach must not must
1:32
have must have realized he's at Kentucky after he got hired and
1:36
said I got to get somebody I can get me in and I displaced quick
1:38
with a paycheck. Let me hire just long and.
1:43
Get some experience in there. Yeah, but looking at their
1:46
schedule, they've got Youngstown on September 5th at 1:00.
1:51
That should be a that's there. Actually.
1:54
That's not even a home game form.
1:55
That's an interesting. Never mind, it is a home.
1:58
Game form it's it's a yeah 1:00. Game I.
2:01
Assume this is Eastern times, but I.
2:03
Schedule is LSU puts that stuff when they put their schedule on
2:06
the website. Yeah, if LSU is the home team,
2:09
they put it on the other side. And right, right.
2:12
It makes sense, yeah. Yeah, they don't do that.
2:14
So that's why I said that's an away game.
2:16
But that September is rough. They got Bama in Week 2 and A&E
2:28
on week 3. College Station Now, thankfully
2:31
for their sake, they got three of the first four at the crib.
2:34
I know that A&M did College Station, but you know that.
2:37
And that is a brutal 2 weeks brother.
2:40
That's a brutal 2 weeks to break in a new coach.
2:44
Man. You get your hopes up.
2:47
You get your hopes up with a win on September 5th.
2:50
Did you go to Week 2 when you play Alabama and get probably
2:54
get Skull Drug. Then you go to A&M and get Skull
2:58
Drug and you come home to face South Alabama.
3:00
You get a little break. And they're like, you open
3:03
October with an interesting game against South Carolina.
3:06
Yeah. Then following.
3:07
You got us. You know you thought that.
3:11
You thought that September was rough.
3:13
You ain't seen nothing yet. Well, Oklahoma Ed Norman God
3:17
bless your soul. God bless your soul.
3:20
Then you got. Vandy.
3:23
Tennessee and Knox. Then you got Florida.
3:28
Florida at home, then. You get a little break with
3:31
Missouri. I think we go to, we go to Knox
3:34
for the two granted, but I mean. Yeah, we do go to Knoxville.
3:37
Yeah. But if you thought that
3:40
September was rough, man, Kentucky Bourbon sells is going
3:46
to be. Through the roof.
3:46
Hey, listen that that alcohol ain't going to help.
3:51
Speaking from experience, that doesn't help when you're trying
3:54
to forget your football season. We just saw on it to him.
3:57
Man listen, then the by alcohol can help you.
4:00
They they need the coach that can come in there and just set
4:03
the tone. And Speaking of Will Stein is
4:06
the name of the coach. He was from the University of
4:10
Oregon where he served at the office of coordinator and
4:12
quarterbacks coach most recently.
4:14
Well, that's good. Hopefully he can contract.
4:17
Hopefully he can reel Joe Sloane in and maybe he just put John
4:21
Stallone and named him as offensive coordinator as a, you
4:25
know. When you look at their recent
4:27
history, Morgan's always been steady with quarterbacks.
4:31
So as long as we've been watching, you know, most recent
4:32
Dante Moore, you know, Bo Nicks, I mean, they have A and Dylan
4:37
Gabriel, they just they have a steady recent history
4:40
specialist. If you, if you're looking at his
4:43
track record, I mean, it's a, it's a very respectable track
4:46
record. Yeah, but you know, Joe Sloan,
4:50
just you would think he's drunk when he made those decisions
4:54
when he was at LSU. You have the same echo, the same
4:56
center of a lot of other guys. I mean, you got a 30 and 25 and
5:00
you got your big, your big brilliant ideas.
5:03
We are running a gut, you know. But what a way to welcome the
5:08
new coach to the SEC. Them with silver soul.
5:11
Them in week 2A and M and week 3.
5:15
Then South Carolina is a sneaky team, you know.
5:18
That that's that's my point. And it's like The thing is like
5:21
they, they they will fight. You know, none of code Beamer
5:24
did. They are they are pesky.
5:26
They'll fight. Yeah, let's.
5:29
See, I'm not just, I know that's, I don't think that's
5:31
going to be no cakewalk or anybody for that matter.
5:35
No, Let me see. Let me, let me just do some do
5:38
some digging real quick. They play.
5:41
Yeah. So South Carolina normally turns
5:44
it on right after the Alabama game.
5:46
Yeah. And unfortunately for Kentucky,
5:49
that's who they play right after they play Bama.
5:53
And, you know, they don't have a bye week like I thought.
5:55
OK, so it goes straight from South Carolina and normally
5:58
plays their best football around the time they play Alabama and
6:02
after. Right.
6:04
They play Bama on the 26th and then go and then they play at
6:09
home against Kentucky on the 3rd.
6:12
So but to the point, just what a break in for a new coaching,
6:18
especially a new coach that's new to the SEC, you know?
6:21
Yeah. Is this, that's a great, well, I
6:24
wouldn't call it the greatest welcome.
6:27
Yeah, honeymoon phases over and then and then over already.
6:33
They're they're going. I don't know how crazy Kentucky
6:35
fans are about the football team.
6:39
It's it's been, I mean, listen, you know, Mark Sue's really was
6:42
their steadiest coach. I mean, he did an incredible job
6:45
considering it's a legendary basketball school, I think.
6:48
But I know it for a lot of people that run its course.
6:52
But you know, there's only to me, there's only so much you can
6:54
do in Kentucky, in my opinion, in football.
6:56
But. But look, if you'd gone into the
6:58
SEC at any other school, if you were at LSU and you were a new
7:02
coach, the only thing they say Brian Kelly from when his first
7:07
year from the honeymoon phase straight to the divorce phase in
7:13
the first year was when he. Beat Bama, Yeah.
7:15
I mean, they they like I always give him a credit.
7:17
I mean, he he's re stabilized the program because they had
7:20
just fought like the last previous two years before it was
7:23
a mess and like I didn't think they were going to get to the
7:27
title game in year 1, but they see title game.
7:29
That's incredible coaching job. But like, it didn't, it wasn't
7:33
sustained. We talked about at the beginning
7:35
of last season, is Brian Kelly the great stabilizer, but or not
7:40
to your point, he did stabilize the program, but he also
7:43
destabilized it towards the end. Yeah, yeah, no, no doubt.
7:46
I just saying like The thing is because you look at his, his
7:49
history about and I know we, we get off tandem, but just like he
7:54
has made every program he was respectable.
7:57
And if he had already, if those programs are already
7:59
historically great, he restabilized them and he
8:02
deserves credit for that. I just but like, will you have
8:05
like the the bad losses and like the bad units that he I always
8:09
go back to like the 2 units, elite units.
8:11
He wasted 2023 offense, 25 defense and like it's it's tough
8:15
to keep your job because like. Exactly.
8:18
Because you don't have to be that special on the other sides
8:21
when you have that elite units to carry you and he didn't take
8:24
advantage. Yeah.
8:26
And look, you know, it's just the fact that we're talking
8:29
about Brian Kelly just for the fact that that's our most recent
8:32
example for a coach who wasn't in the SEC.
8:36
You know, our last coach that didn't put coaching.
8:38
The last two coaches that we had that didn't coaching the SEC
8:41
beforehand had massive success and Nick Saban and then Les
8:47
Miles. Then we had Edo, who had great
8:51
success. Brian Kelly had went on a scale
8:54
of wing sauce wimpy to mild success.
8:58
Yeah, yeah, like just two Yeah, back-to-back ten win season to
9:01
start. I mean, that's a that's a like
9:03
unless Miles like he he let in his first year in O5HE led the
9:06
program to double digit wins and lost in the conference title
9:10
game. That was the that was the same
9:11
thing with what Brian Kelly did. But like you said it just after
9:16
23, it just it gradually just went down.
9:19
Yeah, like he had some on that wingsaw scale.
9:22
He had some moments that put him at that, almost to medium, yeah,
9:26
But it whimpered off at the back end and it went straight to
9:29
wimpy. If I had to raise four years at
9:32
LSU, I'd put it as a mild A mild encroaching on wimpy.
9:38
Vocabulary, brother, I love it. Primary school education,
9:42
brother, we love it. Yeah, but like, I'm going to
9:45
take a minute to give a quick shout out to Go Glove.
9:49
Works. That's right.
9:51
You know, let me pull it up again.
9:55
They are located in Denham Springs, right out of Baton
9:59
Rouge. Facebook is Go Gloveworks,
10:03
GGAUX, Glove UORX and then Instagram and TikTok is Go
10:10
Gloveworks 44 again. It's.
10:14
GAUXGLOVEUO RX-44. You know, just like, you know,
10:21
we we already talked about this previous episode, you know, just
10:24
like an upcoming like startup, I would say startup business, but
10:26
like this is relatively new, relatively small.
10:29
So just you know, obviously based on what the pictures that
10:33
just now I've seen so far, they do a really excellent job.
10:36
You know, just you know, I really just impressed, blown
10:38
away by what I've seen with like the improvements.
10:41
I talked about one of the previous episode we did recently
10:43
just, you know, with the glove, it was like out the the size of
10:46
glove just really out of whack. But after they did their touch,
10:50
put their touch on it, you know, obviously it's a seamless fit
10:53
and that's one of the many examples that they have on their
10:55
pages. So I'll be sure to check them
10:58
out. Hopefully I can bring in my dad
11:02
has AOA 2000 glove that needs some work.
11:05
Yeah. If we can find it, hopefully
11:09
I'll give you all the first hand example of the work they do.
11:13
I'll bring it to them and see what they can do with it.
11:16
If not, if I can't find it, then I can't find it.
11:20
But you know, maybe you're going to give y'all a first hand
11:24
experience on the work they do, you know?
11:28
That's it. That's right.
11:29
Back to Kentucky, I'll let you do this one.
11:31
Look at this schedule and give us their.
11:33
Right. So obviously, you know, they
11:34
already started the year off on a good note with the spring, you
11:38
know, in all seriousness, but this obviously young style
11:42
state, obviously, you know, that's the annual, you know,
11:44
Alabama, you know, rental win the start of the year.
11:48
I actually also with Ohio State, but you know, they're like the
11:51
rental win kings it with the young style state.
11:53
So obviously I feel like that's a win.
11:55
And then you go to get the unique challenge of playing the
11:59
Crimson Tide, the Apermenton Tide.
12:01
And I just want to point out, just like you said earlier,
12:05
anytime the game's on SEC Network Plus, you know it's
12:08
going to be a. I'm like, I'm so upset with the
12:12
with with just previously I said, yeah, they're not trying
12:15
to get you to watch the game. You you got you're a special
12:18
guy. If you really want to watch that
12:19
game outside of being a Kentucky fan, of course.
12:21
Yeah, you just got to be and you just got to be bored enough to
12:25
watch it. God bless you either way.
12:28
But so I so I got the schedules one and oh, with Youngstown
12:32
State, you got a unique challenge that.
12:33
Gets to tide. I'm going to say that's a loss.
12:35
You know, football legendary football pair power versus
12:38
legendary basketball power. I'm going to go with the
12:40
legendary football power. But one and one say C&M College
12:44
Station in the mid afternoon iconic SEC window.
12:47
I'm going to go with the loss right there.
12:49
So you won two South Alabama. I'm going to give you guys a win
12:53
at home. 1245 kicked off like I'm I'm assuming Kentucky's in
12:57
the Eastern Time zone. I'm not sure offhand because
13:00
like it's like a unique let's not that that's not that's
13:03
important in this conversation because I was looking at like
13:06
the the time 1:00 as a unique start time for college football
13:10
games. They are in Eastern.
13:13
Yeah. So that's about right.
13:14
OK. So yeah, that's about right
13:15
because I know like we're in central, so I know normal start
13:18
230 starts in the after early afternoon.
13:20
But anyway, that's they're not too important, so they're going
13:24
to, I'm a, I'm a giving them a win against South Alabama.
13:27
So they're going to finish September 2 and 2.
13:29
That's not bad considering. Yeah, the considering the
13:32
opponents, absolutely. Yeah, man, this, this is a, this
13:37
is such a tricky one, man. And Columbia, man, I'm going to
13:42
give them a loss. I'm going to go, I'm going to go
13:44
South Carolina, go and win that one.
13:46
All right, so that's two and three as you they playing us at
13:50
home. I'm still give us the edge.
13:54
So that's 24 you're going to Norman.
13:57
So is that two and four? I'm I'm the lost tracks are
13:59
1234560. Yeah, 242 and 4 going into
14:03
Norman. OK, that's another loss.
14:05
So I'll say 2:00 and 5:00, but go with Vandy.
14:09
I'm going to give them the win against Vandy.
14:11
It's going to be a home game. So I know Vandy's on the uptick,
14:15
you know, relative to their history in football, but I'm
14:19
still give Kentucky a narrow win.
14:20
That's be 3 and five, or three and six.
14:23
So you didn't shut them out in October?
14:25
Yeah, and then like basically so Ford Tennessee is a loss that's
14:31
going to be a no brainer loss. Florida is tricky to new coach,
14:37
new coach, right? Right the.
14:40
Same situation is them. It's.
14:42
All right, right. New to the?
14:44
Yeah. So I'm going to say that's a
14:47
win. I'm going to give them a win and
14:49
then I win against Missouri and I'll probably give them a win
14:54
against Louisville. So they that's what.
14:59
What is that, like 6 and six, Six and 6-7 and 5:00-ish?
15:02
Yeah. Yeah, let's see what you did.
15:05
Gave them the win 2 losses when they finished September 2 and
15:09
two loss, loss, loss. So two and two, That's five.
15:19
They'd be 3 and 5 going into. You gave him the edge of bandy.
15:22
Yeah. Three and five, three and six,
15:27
four and six. Because you gave him that edge
15:30
in Florida, right? Yeah.
15:32
Then you gave him a win at Missouri, Missouri.
15:35
So that's 5. I think I gave him the answer to
15:38
Louisville six and six. I think, I think that's, I think
15:43
that's respectable. I think that's fair given how
15:46
their season starts especially. But just like you said, I mean
15:49
those the thing and really, to be honest with you, like if they
15:52
didn't have those games at home, like that's what makes it
15:55
tricky. I think if they're because
15:56
they're at home, I give them a narrow edge.
15:58
I know, like I'm not, I'm not a game, but I'm not a better
16:01
person. I don't care about that stuff.
16:02
But I know you typically home games like they give the whole
16:05
team three points, but I again, I think just that alone, I think
16:11
it just give me like a 66. I think that's I think that's
16:15
very respectable and fair to the fan base.
16:18
And look, we also this is a way too early.
16:21
Yes, look at it. Yeah.
16:24
You know, we're not professionals by any means.
16:28
Right. But that's just a way too early
16:31
looking in it looking at it, you know, closing this out on a very
16:38
rare non sports related topic. They just passed a new bill and
16:45
the House, I think, is going to the Senate to get rid of
16:50
daylight savings. Come here.
16:54
So this ongoing topic, man. Let me read you.
16:58
Let me read you some of these sunset, sunrise and sunset times
17:04
for the summer and the winter under the new daylight savings.
17:08
No daylight savings time, OK all.
17:11
Right. Leaving it under permanent
17:13
daylight savings time like it wants or not changing it.
17:17
Leaving it to where it is right now.
17:20
The earliest summer sunrise is 6:00 AM.
17:25
The latest summer sunset is 8:15 PM.
17:28
Then when you go into the winter, the latest winter
17:31
sunrise 8 O 2:00 AM. OK.
17:33
And. Then the earliest winter sunset
17:37
would be 6 O 5:00 PM. That's not bad.
17:41
Yeah, but my goal, as long as I wake up to see it, I'm good.
17:44
It's. Going to be really strange going
17:48
into work and it'd be dark until 8:00 AM, but I don't have no
17:53
windows in my classroom anyway so real I really probably won't
17:55
notice. Amen.
17:59
Well, they see went out last year and one of the suggestions
18:03
that they gave before they could fix it was to open a window.
18:08
I looked around that classroom. He was like, what window?
18:11
Help me out brother. Help me out guy.
18:17
Yeah, so that's just going to say that 8:00 AM sunrise won't
18:23
affect me that much. You know, I probably won't even
18:29
notice it until I'm off for like Christmas break or something.
18:33
Like invest in the ACS brother. I got the next fat you know you
18:37
told me about you told me I was like a girl girl like an older
18:40
man than with the fans investing the cooling on your body.
18:45
Look that AC goes up during the winter.
18:49
I took a picture of my thermostat last year in my
18:51
classroom. It got up to 86°.
18:55
It is criminal bro. Yeah, I would buy every box fan,
18:59
oscillating fan, whatever. They call it.
19:01
Look, thank God it was when we had those freezes and the AC
19:05
wasn't really broken. It just the ambient air
19:08
temperature around those units. On those big units, like
19:12
outside, the ambient air temperature has to be about at
19:18
50°. So it didn't quite reach that.
19:20
That's why it cut off. Yeah, but still, if that ever
19:25
happens again, I'm going to come hit you up for them fans.
19:29
Hey brother. Like like it was funny.
19:31
I had just bought 2 fans for the truck.
19:33
It's a clip on fan that clips onto to like the windows, but I
19:37
didn't think it was that the fan was that big.
19:39
I'm still keeping them, but if like if I'm parked for a while
19:43
I'm waiting on something, I'll have to run that AC the whole
19:46
time. Yeah, but we'll see how that
19:48
goes. Yeah, but I think this is a good
19:52
place to leave off. So you got Kentucky going 6:00
19:56
and 6:00. As of right now, yes, I think
19:59
and and the strength of that largely because of like those
20:01
swing games at home. I think I feel like that's
20:05
that's what really helps them, but I think that's fair.
20:08
I don't think they should get mad at that personally.
20:10
That's but I mean it's still early.
20:11
So I mean. It's the home games look if you
20:14
make it through September. At 2:00 and. 2 with your
20:17
schedule. I think that's an incredible win
20:20
