Speaker 1 (00:00):
I love the laugh. Welcoming back to Eve's Sports Radio.
I do love the laugh. It is Wednesday, September eighteenth,
twenty twenty four. I got that part correct. Don't hold
me to all my words today, because you can get anything.
Matt's got his hand on the dump bucket. Just so
you all know, we have a dump bucket and Matt
(00:21):
has his fingers on it. Because I told Matt anything
could come out. I am just hi's a kite full
of all these drugs. But I'm glad to be back.
It is the sports radio phone numbers five zero two,
five seven one seventy nine hundred. That's five zero two,
five seventy nine hundred. Of course, I've got my son,
Anthony Eves, and I've got my old assistant coach, got
(00:44):
bul Wage. We've been sitting in for me, doing a
fantastic job. I appreciate you, guys. Matt bring Anthony on
first and going on daughter.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Glad to see that you're bad taking my spot. It's
all right, you know.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah, they take you to but you know it's not
a problem. It'll work out, trust me, Anthony, It'll all
work out. You know, God's got a sense of humor.
We get old and we pass away, and then the
young people have it. That's the way of the world.
That's how it goes. So but I'm telling you what.
I'm trying to do all I can do to stay
as long as I can with quality healthcare. I'll tell
you that. Let's bring Scott bol Wage to the show.
(01:22):
Scott's heard a few four letter words from me all
too often for about thirteen years. But that's okay, Scott.
How are you.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
When I coach it. I'll tell you what, I've heard
a lot of those four letter words, and you weren't
jugged up. So I can't wait to come today, Scott.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It could be scary, I'm telling you. Guys, Oh my goodness.
Let me just tell you all. Of course, Monday, I
got to speak with you all briefly, George and Anthony
right before they put me under, and the funniest thing
in the world, Scott, my veins. My veins got scared.
They couldn't find a vein. I am telling you, I'm
(01:59):
back there. They brought three nurses trying to find a vein,
and honestly, I couldn't see you on myself. They were hiding.
They were like, no, no, no, Scott, No, no, I'm
telling you you all. It took thirty minutes. Usually book
they put drivy in. It's over. No thirty minutes. I'm
sitting back there going, oh gosh, they're gonna kill me.
They're gonna kill me. God. She listened there with me,
(02:22):
going and you'll be fine. She has been a superstar.
I'm telling you you all, good wives. You just don't understand.
They're the best thing in the world. She's been a
superstar through this whole ordeal. So Scott, finally, the anesthesiologists
and I talk about the spine blocker, which I had
one time done on my hip in Greensboro. You remember, Scott,
(02:42):
And I told him I didn't fill a leg for
five years. Guys, I didn't fill my leg for five years.
They bruised a little spot on your backbone. Didn't hurt me,
but they bruised it, and it took five years for
me to get total feeling back. So I talked to
him about that and he was like, well, i'll just
put you under then, Jerry, since you had that experience,
he says, I've never even heard of that jury. He says,
(03:02):
usually after six weeks, what you have is what you have.
It's got you know, you're with me. It took five
years and it all came back. So I told him
about that, and then I said, but what do you prefer?
He says, Jerry, I've been doing this blocker for a
million years. I said, okay, Doc from Cincinnati. It's so funny, Scott.
He says, I watched basketball, but I just remember the
left handers, he says, Rick Wilson. Jerry feel fine. I'm like,
(03:27):
how do you remember that? He says, I just do?
So he spoke, had a good little time, and he says,
you'll be fine. Put me to take me in there.
Scott hit me in the back. It was all good.
And Doc walked in said, well, take good care of you.
Next thing I know, I'm in the recovery room. Scott.
That's all. It was all said and done. And Doctor
Marconnie told me that I was going to have pain
(03:49):
day two and three, and I have some pain today.
But from what I've compared to what I've heard from
my friends, I've slept all night. Other than one I
have to take these drugs, I have slept all night.
I mean amazing. So I'm telling you if you gotta
get your knee replaced. Doctor Rcannie is the one. I mean,
I've it's just been amazing how smoothly this has gone
(04:11):
so far. So then yesterday, the second day, you know,
they give you no time to do anything. Doctor Rcannie said, Oh,
I said, well, what am I going to do? He says,
you're going to walk every fifteen minutes of every hour
that you're up. I said, I'm like, what did you
just say to me? This is day one? He said, exactly,
(04:31):
You're going to get up and walk fifteen minutes every hour.
And my wife has been like the greatest coach in
the world. Scotch She cracks the whip. It's fifteen minutes time,
let's go. So Scott, I've been walking from day one.
So yesterday Courts was good therapy comes. Everyone knows court
has been my sponsor forever. I mean, they're the best,
in my opinion, in the world. So they came in yesterday,
(04:55):
took my drainage plug out which cut down on the swelling,
and maybe do a exercises. But they're coming back today
at eight thirty to kill me. Scott. She said, I'm
just gonna be honest now when we come back tomorrow.
Just be ready. So I've already popped a pain peel.
I took a strong talent. I've got it sitting right
here by my computer because they're gonna be here at
eight thirty Scott, and I got to be ready. But
(05:16):
right now I'm happy with my progress. I'm not gonna
kitch it, even though I'm just high as I can be.
So that's the deal. Guys, with this knee surgery. They
are more extensive than hips. I mean, I take nine
different cocktails of drugs. It's crazy. But I'm gonna follow
the directions. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do
exactly what they told me to do. Period. So here
(05:40):
we go to Scott. Anthony. You know, I've had a
football contest, and Matt knows I've been giving people just
the blues because I beat everyone, Scott. So now I've
gotten a lot of the men are scared to gamble
against me because I beat them, Scott, and they say, oh,
you stack it against us, you get to pick second.
Of course, I'm giving away the money. Come on, man,
(06:01):
they put up nothing. I put them all the money,
but they want to change my rules. Come on, Scott.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Then they go to Dart always win exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
They go to Derby City, they have to put up
some of their own money. They put up no money.
They just have to have an opportunity call in win
some money. Well, Scott, I want everybody to know that.
And you were close, Scott Bowage, you were close. I'm
going to give everybody scores. I keep all the scores
so that you all know this is legitimate. If I lose,
I lose. So Anthony, you had the Kentucky Georgia score
(06:33):
forty to ten, fifty two total points, and we know
what was it, thirteen twelve something like that.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, I was etting close.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yes, you weren't close. Sheila, my wife had it Kentucky
fourteen Georgia twenty four thirty eight points. Okay, Scott, you
had Kentucky ten Georgia twenty seven thirty seven points. But
you lost t.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Twenty four twenty four to seven. You will my number
is down.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I'm wrong, Oh, get out of here. But still, if
you won all the game, Scott, you would have won
because nobody was below thirty seven. So see now you're
saying I Rochard scored that run. Hey, can't you believe
that an'tey, I'm gonna change it. You still wouldn't have won, Scott,
because you lost.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
We need to go back to the tick.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Scott, you lost, you picked, you lost, You picked Ucla.
You lost, Scott, Yes, you picked Ucla twenty one, Indiana seventeen. Yes,
I got all the scores, Scott. All my listeners know
I have all the scores. So people like Ron at
the Kentucky score Kentucky thirteen, Georgia thirty four. Okay, he
(07:36):
won a lot of games, but I think I got
him in the high school game. I think Mike had
Kentucky Georgia sixty three to ten, seventy three points. Of
course that wasn't a winner. Turn to pitch. I haven't
taught my other book that golly was my other pitches.
But everybody knows what their scores were. So you were
the only ones close, you and Sheila. Because Scott, you
(07:58):
saying twenty four, that would have been that's fine. If
you would have said that's got where you would get
that would have been thirty four points. If you would
not have lost the Ucla game, you would have won
because you beat the person that beat me. But there
was a person that beat me. And let me go.
This is crazy. I can't even find her dang scores.
(08:21):
And it was a female who beat me. I told
you my brain's gone. But the person went five and
oh the person picked Indiana to beat UCLA. Okay. The
person in the Ballard game, she had the ballad game
against me, she had the score correct. I took the over.
It was the under. Okay, she beat me. She went
(08:43):
five and oh. So there's a winner of Eve Sports Radio.
Guys for two hundred and fifty dollars, just want to
try to know that I am writing in the chick
to The winner was Patty exactly, not ac not blanded,
not run, not Steve, not Steve, not Sleepless, not all
(09:05):
my callers, not Marty, nobody. So Patty gets a check
for me Sports Radio, for Twitter, for Didas. I will
say this, Scott, Anthony, I think I'm on the only
show in the city that gives away money, real money.
So you know, the contest reboots again, Anthony, what are
the games? I don't even have the games, you all,
(09:26):
I'm out of it. What are the games for this?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Godam so the games for this week that we have
the first one we have on the list is Louisville
versus Georgia Tech. Then the second one we have is
Tennessee versus Oklahoma, and we have USC versus Michigan and
then Kentucky versus Ohio. So those are our contest games
this week.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And Louisville Yule is the tiebreaker, big game for University
of Louisville. We've got to talk a little bit about
first real opponent. But Georgia Tech still at home. But
it should be a good football game. Of course I'll
be watching it from my lazy boy, but should be
a really good game. So we'll talk about that one,
but you can call in. Those are the four games
(10:09):
Anthony has got. The high school game. You're still gambling
against me. If you want to go, you'll ask you.
He's going to give you the game. You give the score,
he'll send them to me and then make sure you
send me your email. But I don't know, but I'll
give you I will send back, or I'll post my
scores on EVE Sports Radio so that everybody can see them.
For the people that want to gamble against me, that's
(10:29):
probably the easiest way to do it. I'll post it
on EVE Sports Radio. So y'all can find me and
look at them. But that's how it goes this week.
So let's make sure that we start getting our calls
in for the games. Yes, the money has gone back now.
Men at fifty, if you bet against me one hundred,
women at seventy five, if you bet against me one
(10:50):
fifty guys, it's the easiest money, the easiest opportunity to
win money in the city of Louisville. You just have
to beat the king, that's all, Scott. Hard to do,
that's all, Scott. It's just hard to do, Scotty.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It sounds like they King was throw.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, no, no question. I was nipped on a ballad game, Scot.
I told Anthony on my bruins, I took them over.
Oh of all the games, I got beat on my
ballert team. I'm like, that's just disgraceful. I had to
do something with my bruins. I don't have to go
meet with them, Scott.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
So Gott talk to them before the game and let
them let them know money's on the line.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
It's got enough of that's going on right now, with
all this gambling on college games, and that's going on
right now. You all care what you say. Everyone is
talking to these players about what they have on the line. Everyone,
I just don't guys. I'm glad the players are getting paid,
but the gambling, I guess it's just everyone's going to
(11:51):
do it, so it is what it is. But I
just hope that the schools can insulate the players away
from it, and the players staff the social media is
as much so that they don't get all the craziness
that goes on is people's money. You know, when people
put money out there, they get crazy. They won't say
anything to you on social media, So I hope the
players understand that piece also to stay off social media.
(12:13):
That's the best thing to do. But guys, what y'all got?
What's been going on since I've been.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Going, Man, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
So the biggest thing that we saw and I talked
to I sent you yesterday about Tennessee increasing their ticket places.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
By ten percent to help pay for their student athletes.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
M h, you.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Know this is I guess they're the first ones to
do it, and I can see.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Everybody else on the line.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Because this is just an easier way to to make
sure those guys are getting paid. And you know, the
like I said, Tennessee is the first one. And don't
be surprised, you ruis Ope Entucky. You know, all these
big schools are falling in line. It's something that you know,
(13:07):
these players want their money and these schools, you know,
to get the best players. This is what they're doing.
So you know, what are your thoughts on this one post?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, well, you know it's seven nineteen. I'm going to
have Anthony. I'm going to read some of that to
our listeners so that they'll understand, and Scott, I'm going
to tell you all what is truly going on, what
has transpired in this college athletics, so that everybody will
know when they need to say no, it just is
what it is. So when we come back from break, Anthony,
(13:38):
I'm going to read some of the statement about what's
going on at Tennessee so that people will understand what
you're talking about, Scott, and then I'm gonna thought to
Anthony for a little of his interpretation. Then I'm going
to just tell everybody truly what's going on. So guys,
it's seven twenty. I'm back today. I will not be
back tomorrow. You all. I had to set my alarm twice.
Anthony had to call me. The drugs have to take.
(13:59):
They just have me loose. They just do So you're
going to give me some time, but to continue supporting
Scott and Anthony calling give you scores. You got a
chance to win some money. I just gave up two
hundred and fifty dollars and let me tell you what scotten, Anthony.
I'm telled this city is sick. You know what I've
already gotten. The check's going to bounce. I'm like, oh
my goodness, I've never had a check bounce. I ought
(14:21):
to be deal OUs with you all. I think I've
bought fourteen homes in my life everywhere. I've never had
a check bounce. I've never been turned down for credit.
Patty's check is good. They just kill me, Anthony, they
kill me. But it is true. I've dinosaur ORMs. I
don't give my money away. That's why I've got money
to give to Patty. It's just my sponsor's money. Anyway,
(14:42):
John Carney, you just gave some money. That's all you
gave money away. I'm glad. I'm just letting you know.
Giving you money away, John, I love it, But it's
the sports radio when we come back we're gonna read
what universities are doing to raise money for their athletic programs,
again putting it on the back of their fan base.
Talk to you in a minute. Welcome back to E
(15:04):
Sports Radio. It is seven five. Yes, I did just
get pleased for two hundred and fifty dollars. Patty is
the winner and I will call out all the scores
maybe on Friday, so everyone will know where they are.
I just can't even find them right now. And being
honest with you all, but Scott, here is the deal. Anthony.
(15:25):
Tennessee increases ticket prices Anthony by ten percent to help
pay student athletes. This is comical, you all, and what
is believed to be the first arrangement of its kind.
Tennessee fans for all sports will be charged to ten
percent talent fee on tickets to pay athletes. Is part
of the new revenue sharing plan set to begin in
(15:47):
twenty twenty five. That's the lawsuit n Cuba. You all
know in the lawsuit that they're going through. The university
shared the news with football season ticket holders via email Tuesday,
which included in passionate for a minute video from athletic
director Danny White telling fans that talent fee and other
strategies were part of an extensive plan to continue our
(16:07):
dominance in college athletics and build something and build something
like never seen before. In addition to the timbercent increase
on all ticket invoices, season ticket in single game purchases,
as well as donations for those seats, Tennessee will add
an average increase of four point five on all football tickets. Okay,
(16:30):
in this era of name, image and likeness, there's never
been as close a connection between resources and competitive success
as White, noting that Tennessee is captured the last three
sec all sports trophies. We want to be the leader
in college sports. That means we want to be the
leader in revenue share. Guys, I want to read this
(16:51):
to you. I'm going down a paragraph and then I'm
gonna thought to you Anthony and the most recent financial
data available, the Tennessee footbroll Crow turned seventy five million
dollar profit in twenty twenty three, after one hundred and
thirty four point nine million in revenue and fifty nine
point one million and expenses. We all know that college
football rules the roost, Guys, we do so, Anthony, what
(17:15):
do you think not just on the ticket prices, but
on the donations. For people to get the good seats,
they're gonna have to pay four point five percent. What
do you think any Do you agree with it?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
No, it's I see what they're trying to do when
they're talking about revenue sales and trying to boost to
help pay nils, Because one, it boosts the players that
they're able to get, which is a big factor that's
going on in college sports now, especially with football. At
the same time is if these fans are gonna pay
an extra timbercent in ticket sales, it might not be
a huge difference in the nosebleed seats, but you talk
(17:47):
about those seats that are close down to the field
where they're already paying, you know, twenty thirty thousand dollars
a season for tickets, they say, we're gonna bump you
up another five grand. If you go out there and
you don't produce and you don't win games, they're going
to be upset and they're not gonna want to pay that. Yes,
when you pay for when you pay for something you
want results. You know, you don't go to the grocery
(18:08):
store and pay extra for food. You know they try,
it's going to extually be an extra ten percent, Like why, oh,
it's gonna taste better, and then you get home and
it tastes the same. You're like, this is this is pointless.
I don't want I pay for it for it's the
same thing, Like I'm not I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna go to this. I'm not gonna go to the
grocery store and pay ten percent more for the same
tastes as I can get down the street. So it
(18:29):
plays a big factor to that. And then this money
is going to go into more aspects than just paying players.
It's going to go into the coaches too, And something
that I just wanted to pull up real quick because
I know we ain't even talked about yesterday, even two
days ago, and we were talking about if Florida State
and Florida coaches would have their job, that they continue
to keep losing games, Well, this is the payout for
(18:51):
Florida State. Would old Mike Norville sixty five million dollars
if they fired him right now, Florida would old billion.
Maybe Florida would old Billy maybe your twenty six million
dollars if he got fired today. Too, So you've got
to understand ten percent ticket sales. That means for state
has to come out of pocket sixty five million dollars
for a coach that really hasn't done much the last
(19:12):
three games that they probably want to get rid of
at the end of the season anyways. So if it's
not sixty five million dollars now, it's still going to
be probably in the high fifties by the end of
the season. So that's fifty million dollars that you're just
going tankfully i'd say kind of in negative equity, because
you're just paying someone to not be there. So you
have to put those little small factors, I said, in consideration, consideration.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Okay, Scott Anthony, here's what's going on. I've been telling
my listeners for a long time. When name, image and
likeness came out at the beginning, all they said to
the players is you can get a second job. Now.
We can't tell you you can't, okay. And it was
up to the players to go in solicit businesses and
(19:53):
try to find people that would sponsor them. But that's
all that the NCAA said. NCAA has not given up
one penny of their money. I want people to know,
and President Chuckswood University of Louisville announced this to all
the athletic directors and coaches probably six months ago, that
college athletics makes more than every professional sport other than
(20:16):
the cash cow. Come on, gods, the NFL. Let me
say it to you again. College athletics revenue makes more
than every professional sport other than the cash cow the NFL.
The NFL is the best at what they do. It's
not close. So knowing that what's going on now, well
people are telling them you have to pay. You can't
(20:37):
call them student athletes anymore. They can't get CTE. And
like I told you all, I want you to think
of this, how tragic it would be. Student athlete wide receivers,
student athlete cornerback runs into coach on the sideline. All
three of them have concussions, got all three of them
have issues, have to go to the hospital. Well, in school,
(21:00):
they'll be taken care of, so will the coach while
he's working there. But when the coach is fired and
moves on and it comes back, he's got something called
workmen's camp that the players do not have, but the
coach would. The coach would be taken care of. Just fact,
this is how bad. This is so knowing that what
(21:21):
they're doing now is they don't want to share they
the universities, any of their profits with the players, they're
now just putting it on the backs. They're trying to
tell you in a polite, nice way, you're gonna pay
for this, but we're not gonna share our revenues, and
they're not. Anthony, I'm so glad you brought up coaches salaries.
(21:43):
I'm still asking whoever science contracts it says they're gonna
pay somebody seventy five million. I think the whole school's cheating.
I think the lawyers that sign it are cheating. Are idiots.
There's no other way to put it. I think the
presidents are idiots. There's no other way to put it.
They'll leave, Let them leave. There's no way you can
pay a coach with they're paying. Just think about Jimbo
(22:03):
Fisher that Texas A and M last year. I mean,
his is just it was crazy. I'm gonna they have
to pay him to leave. Guys, Contracts like that should
never be written, but they have been because they've been
giving them money to all the coaches. Guys, that's that's
the facts, and all the athletic directors, and again you
all know I tell you all facts. Most of the
players African Americans, most of the coaches are white, especially
(22:27):
the predominantly powered schools in the States. And I've said
it for forever and I'm saying it to you again. No,
I'm not going to roll over on every police officer
was cheetah. But I'm going to tell you the facts
about the NCAA. They've paid the coaches, the athletic directors,
they're family members. All the money just facts. So now
(22:52):
it's going to be an epidemic. All the universities are
going to make the fans pay for the players money
because they don't want to share a dime. They still
want to make the same mistakes anthing that they've made
with these buyout for these coaches. They still want to
be able to do that. They want to be able
to hire every family member somewhere throughout the university. They
want to be able to do that. Guys, it's gone
(23:13):
too far. Now. People are sitting enough and they're upset
with the players. Don't be I've told you all forever
that's the problem. Don't be We've been duped for seventy years.
Walter Bowers wrote the game called them student athletes. Again,
listen to what I'm telling you all. A student athlete. Now,
if they get injured, I think they'll cover them for
(23:35):
five years. But what happens is a wide receiver you
all all understand football, a quarterback. There's a down and out.
A quarterback throws it down and out towards the sidelines.
Both players crash into the coach. Don't forget we had
a media guy here that was wanting to sue Trinity
because he got hurt on the sideline. Do you remember.
(23:55):
I'm not gonna call out his name, he's my man,
but you all do know that he was standing on
the sideline. He wanted to sue. He wanted compensation. So
what would happen fifteen years down the road when the
coach had a problem with that ankle that wrists that knee.
The coach gets workman's calm. Fifteen years down the road,
(24:16):
the players get nothing. You shold nothing, guys, listen to me,
absolutely positively nothing when you call them student athletes. So
this three card molly who c NCAA plays, They love
to play it and they do play it now. It's
just forthright. They're telling you all, we're keeping our money
(24:38):
and if you want a good program, you're gonna have
to pay for it. With all the money they've wasted
with all those coaches buyouts. Guys, don't get mad at
me because I'm telling you the truth. They listen to me.
My sponsors. I got the best sponsors in the world.
Mike Vine's daddy. But when Mike was a little big
kid wiping his nose, her Vine had Louisville Ticks right
behind the bench. He supported lit with cars. You got me.
(25:03):
Billy Hayes Towny Country, his dad did the same thing.
He and Denny Crumb played cards together. You got me the
exact same thing. Paid the fees to build the programs up.
If you look down court physical Therapy, all the people
that are part of the Young Center, Yes, and that
University of Louisville because the Young Center is a big attraction.
A lot of people have advertisement in there, Clark and Riggs,
(25:26):
all my restaurants. People they're vying off of University of Louisville,
and they're making them have to do well. So, guys,
when I've been telling you this, the universities have to
give up some money. The players should be paid. Don't
be mad at me because I'm telling you the truth.
Do not. It's just the facts. And for years they
(25:47):
paid the coaches the administrators crazy. Well, y'all heard it.
It's almost comical money. It's almost unbelievable that they'll pay
a football coach fifty million dollars to leave Anthony Scott
is almost unbelievable. Let's just be honest. I mean, it's
almost unbelieval. So what was Jerry? Those buyout?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Where pocket out?
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Well again, I'm gonna tell people. When I left ANT,
I made one hundred and forty five thousand dollars in
twenty twelve, and yes we did beat the Pauls and
all the big Power five teams. We did. But Scott
they fired me and I had fourteen months left on
my contract and my vacation day. Scott, I got about
eighteen months of pay, which I couldn't believe. At undred
(26:29):
forty five thousand dollars, they paid me every penny. I
love it ANT, but guys one hundred and forty five
and fifty million, it's drastically different. It's comical. So we
get to break when we come back again, and you
all got to get your calls in, gotta get for
this week. I'm sorry guys now these drugs have me
to where it just happens. But you've got to get
(26:49):
your scores in for the games, Anthony, Ward, are our
four games again before we go to our second break?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yep, So our games that we have.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
We have Louisville versus Georgia Tech, Tennessee versus Oklahoma, have
USC versus Michigan, and then Kentucky versus Ohio.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
There you go. Can tell you that's a must win
for Kentucky. I mean they must win. And when we
come back, guys, is Louisville's first true test and it's
a must win for them in this ACC conference because
the league's bad. It's just bad. Eastwarts Radio. Scott boways
and that knees and I'll be back after the break.
Welcome back to eas Sports Radio. It is seven forty.
(27:28):
I'll have to take a break, guys in about five minutes,
six minutes, so we'll have to keep the segment fairly short. Anthony,
You're first Louisville versus Georgia Tech at home. I want
people to know here's how the ACC stands Syracuse is won,
and O Boston College one and OH Virginia's one, and
oh Georgia Tech's one and one. Everyone else is oh
(27:50):
for they haven't played Wait Forces on one, Florida State
ish and two. This is Louisville's first conference game, so Louisville, Miami,
North Carolina, Pittsburgh Duke, and the Golden Barras and have
not played a conference again yet. What do you think
of the matchup, Anthony? Should you take lleuivelle.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be
fairly close. And the reason why I say that's because
I like Georgia Tech's quarterback. I like Haynes King. I
think he's got a lot of potential out there if
he has skill and veteran leadership for Georgia Tech. And
also I think Georgia Tech has played more, say more
more competitive teams than the U L has. And that's
something I said last show. I said I can't not
(28:31):
U of L and the players because the players don't
go out there and make the schedule, and they produced
in the first two games they won, put up seventy
two to one, game sixty six another. So I can't
go out there and be like, oh, they're playing bad teams. Well,
they're doing what they're supposed to do against these teams.
They're beating them by fifty sixty points, which you know,
we had the same thing a beginning of our schedules too.
You go out there and you play teams and just
(28:52):
trying to get a field, build some team chemistry. Since
you have a lot of new players and new quarterback,
you usually don't want to come right off the bat
and play some that could probably beat you, which is
you see what's happened with Florida State. I think even
if Florida State started off with a different team, or
even a team like Austin Peter Jacksonville State, they might
have been in a different situation than they are now.
I'm still gonna take I'm still gonna take U of
(29:13):
L in this game, just because we have a little
of momentum, we're at home. I think that plays a
big factory. But I do think it will be close, though.
I will say.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
That, Scott, what do you think? You know? We've got
Tyler Shuck, experienced quarterback, family man, He's been playing college
for quite a long time. Hasn't been moved off his spot.
I think one time some George told me that I
had left at halftime. But in one of the games
someone did at least knock him down once. But he's
never felt real pressure. So now that he's playing a
(29:42):
quality ACC team, what do you think happens?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I think he'll be fun.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
You know.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
The good thing with him is he's been on college
for almost a decade, so uh, you know, he's older,
he's experienced, and you know, he was playing at a
high level, you know, Oregon and Texas Tech, and you know,
it's just that experience for you know, playing high level
football for such a long time that gives them that experience.
(30:12):
And I think it'll be fine. I think Louisville, you know,
being at home is a definitely advantage for them, get
a home field. So you know, though, I have them
win in a close battle, but you'll definitely pull.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
It out, gotcha. Yeah, I know, guys, this is so hard.
I went to both of the Louisville games, and they
had the bye week last week, and I was supposed
to have gone to the Kentucky game, but my knee
was shot. I couldn't walk around the corner. So I said,
there's no reason we trying to do this because but
I wanted to see Kentucky Georgia, because I wanted to
see Georgia live in person. On the Field's got our
(30:49):
press passes, get us down on the field. I get
to see the sizes. Bring on Balale Powell, one of
the best running backs in Louisville history. Great guy played
for the New York Jets for nine year and we
were on the field just talking about the sizes. He
was telling me what to look at and why you
should look at them, and to see quality teams. And
when the first thing he says, interior lineman, he wants
(31:10):
to see some beef. If they've got beef at beef
and quickness, which means they're large and fast, he says,
you're in trouble. That's the bottom line. A lot of
teams have big guys, but they have no latter quickness.
So he says you can see that from some of
the drills when they come out to warm up. So
I would love for Saturday to be able to get
(31:30):
on the field at Louisville, which I can and watch
again just to see the difference in sizes. So I
could tell our fans and our listeners there is a
difference in size with these programs. I think something Louisville
didn't expect as they're running back course been better than
people expected. With Brown Watson, well, the two Browns have
(31:50):
been better than people expected. So that's been a good surprise.
We'll see if Louisville can create a running game against
Georgia Tech and see how that goes. Same thing with
Georgia Tech. Really nifty. Like Anthony said, quarterback is nifty,
They're running a different kind of offense. Love is gonna
have to be disciplined. They're gonna have to stay at home.
They're not gonna have their eyes, won't be able to
lie to them because if they over pursue, Georgia Tech
(32:12):
will burn them. But it's the first real test, so
it should be a great game. Do you know what
time that game starts at all? That game?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
That game? If I'm not wrong, I think it's at
three forty five.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
So let me see a year, right, three thirty afy, yep,
three thirty. That game starts, yes, three thirty, So that
is our key game. Guys. We're at seven forty six.
We're gonna get to break. So when we come back
to the sports radio, we got Scott Bolwage from Florida. Yes,
I'm going to his condo, that's one. I'm kicking him
out again. And Anthony Eves here in Louisville. We'll talk
(32:47):
to you all in a minute. Welcome back to sports radio.
I finally found them, guys. I told you all that
I've got too many drugs at me. I found all
the scores, so let me give it to you. Patty
was four and and Steve was four and O. Got me.
Those were the only two people that were four and
O in their scores. Steve had Kentucky Georgia forty eight
(33:10):
to ten fifty eight total points. Patty had Kentucky Georgia
thirty five ten forty five total points. So, Scott, if
you wouldn't have lost the UCLA game, and Sheila also,
you owe have won. But you all picked the UCLA game.
So you are three and one. Most people were three
and one. Mary, you were two and two. Sleepless you
(33:34):
were two and two. Blanding, you were awful two and two.
Steve was Steve My first caller was He didn't take
the high school game, but he had Kentucky Georgia forty
eight ten. That's why Patty beat him. Ac was two
and two and that was the contest. Mary two and
(33:58):
two and had Kentucky from forty eight to seven fifty
five points. So guys, that were the points. That's what happened.
Patty had UCLA twenty one, Indiana twenty four. A lot
of people went with UCLA and I would have also.
That was Scott's demise. She was demise. She had Wisconsin
Alabama thirty seven to ten. Alabama routed Wisconsin. She had
(34:20):
Notre Dame twenty four to seventeen over Purdue. We know
that was a blowout. And then she beat me in
the Ballard game against Brian's station. She went twenty four
to twenty. I went twenty five twenty and it was
the under. It was like twenty to ten was the
final score or no, it's seventeen ten was the final score.
So Patty beat me. So again, Patty wins the two fifty.
(34:43):
So I got everybody's score. So you've got two days
to get it in. You're not gambling, it's just sponsor's money.
You got a chance to win it, so try to
win it. But Patty congratulations. I'm glad. So the people
are knowing the check's not gonna bounce, Patty. They said
the checks are gonna bounce. It's not going to bounce, Patty.
That's all trusted me. So guys we're here. You know
(35:05):
we've gone through a lot this week. What are some
of the other hot topics I want to talk about
seven fifty two before week? Go Scott? What you have.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
I saw on the revenue side of things that you
know we talked about Tennessee increasing their prices, but also
you know the ACC is in off with Clemson and
Florida State about revenue distribution.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Yes, and you know, I think this is a bad
time for Florida State to be in those negotiations.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Yeah, they're both alling there. Clemson is not all but
still yeah they're not.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
They're not what they used to be for sure.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
So people understand what they're talking about is that they're
talking to Clemson in Florida State about the better teams
will get more of the revenue. The people that largest attendance,
the largest mart radio share, TV share, they're gonna pay
more to trying to influence them. So they're gonna pay
the Hals and they're not gonna pay the have notts.
That's what the ACC is going to do. Trying to
(36:11):
keep Florida State and Clemson. They need to improve their
product both teams, I really do. But that's all that
they're trying to do. And that's great for Louisville right
now though, guys, I really want to because Louisville is
one of the better teams in the ACC. So with
this is going on twenty twenty five, Louisville will get
more of the revenue, which is a plus. For the
University of Lovelle is a plus. So we've got a
(36:34):
large market here in Louisville, larger than a lot of
the schools. There's interest and if they can do well,
they'll get more of the money, which is a plus. Andy,
what do you have man?
Speaker 7 (36:43):
Before we get out here, I don't even know. You
don't even know, man, I don't I.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Don't brings lockdown.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
It is it is my brain is. My brain has
been getting scrambled the last couple of days. I'm running
the very little sleep.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
That's what you get for going to Denver. You got
to stay home, That's all I tell you. You get caught
trying to travel here's the deal. We've got some book
huge football games this weekend. We've got the Ravens and
my Cowboys in Dallas. The Cowboys got embarrassed, so I
mean both teams have to have the w that's a
(37:29):
big game. I want to see this Tennessee Oklahoma game.
That's what Tennessee looks like. Boy, they're looking strong as
can be. I want to see them. I'm interested. I
haven't watched them at all, not one time, but I
do want to watch them, see their style of play.
I just think this year it's completely up in the air.
When you look at the college football rankings. Guys, it's
(37:50):
just amazing how that Texas has now jump Georgia because
of the Kentucky game. So they pulled Georgia down, or
I'll say to it to an old Alabama's at ole
miss looks good at three, and oh, Tennessee's at three,
and o Missouri's at three, and oh there's Miami, thank
you acc at three, and oh Oregon big ten and
then Penn State. So guys, did you all hear me?
(38:13):
The SEC is going to get at least I think
five to six teams in the College football Playoffs, which
means the revenue that everybody's talking about, they will get
more revenue. It'll be very hard for the other conferences
to compete with Kentucky and the sec raking in all
the money, just the facts then have a very hard
time for them to compete. So that's why this money game,
(38:36):
it is a money game. Now it's just out front.
There's no more playing games, there's no more secret contracts,
people not wanting to you to know what they've been
paying these guys. I think that the slow there will
be a slowing down of the fifty million dollar buyouts. Guys,
everybody listening, that's just done stupid. If a person won't
come for a decent contract and a decent salary and
(38:59):
maybe a year and a hal half pay after that,
don't hire them. Trust me, there are no other gigs
in America that are doing this all there is to it.
But you know, we've got stupid administrators got stupid because
they had to spend the money. My only problem is
they still don't want to share their money. They're asking
for more money off the backs of their fans. And
(39:19):
that's what all the universities are going to do. And
I think that's truly disgraceful. They made more money than
the NBA Day college. They made more money than baseball
day college. Got me, they made more money. You will.
So it's just absolutely no reason why they can't find
a way to share the revenue they have. They don't
want to, that's all. They want to keep the money.
(39:41):
Don't get it twisted, Eve Sports Radio, Scott and Nanthy
will have it tomorrow. Get your scores in. Great job,
any great job, Scott. Matt's taking care of you all.
I won't be back hopefully next week. Guys. I'll feel
better this one did. It stressed me out just being
honest with you. My brain's in a fall, just trying
to remember when I said last So I hope I
(40:01):
was in bad today. Love youall. Esports Radio is out
h
I love the laugh. Welcoming back to Eve's Sports Radio.
I do love the laugh. It is Wednesday, September eighteenth,
twenty twenty four. I got that part correct. Don't hold
me to all my words today, because you can get anything.
Matt's got his hand on the dump bucket. Just so
you all know, we have a dump bucket and Matt
(00:21):
has his fingers on it. Because I told Matt anything
could come out. I am just hi's a kite full
of all these drugs. But I'm glad to be back.
It is the sports radio phone numbers five zero two,
five seven one seventy nine hundred. That's five zero two,
five seventy nine hundred. Of course, I've got my son,
Anthony Eves, and I've got my old assistant coach, got
(00:44):
bul Wage. We've been sitting in for me, doing a
fantastic job. I appreciate you, guys. Matt bring Anthony on
first and going on daughter.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Glad to see that you're bad taking my spot. It's
all right, you know.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah, they take you to but you know it's not
a problem. It'll work out, trust me, Anthony, It'll all
work out. You know, God's got a sense of humor.
We get old and we pass away, and then the
young people have it. That's the way of the world.
That's how it goes. So but I'm telling you what.
I'm trying to do all I can do to stay
as long as I can with quality healthcare. I'll tell
you that. Let's bring Scott bol Wage to the show.
(01:22):
Scott's heard a few four letter words from me all
too often for about thirteen years. But that's okay, Scott.
How are you.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
When I coach it. I'll tell you what, I've heard
a lot of those four letter words, and you weren't
jugged up. So I can't wait to come today, Scott.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It could be scary, I'm telling you. Guys, Oh my goodness.
Let me just tell you all. Of course, Monday, I
got to speak with you all briefly, George and Anthony
right before they put me under, and the funniest thing
in the world, Scott, my veins. My veins got scared.
They couldn't find a vein. I am telling you, I'm
(01:59):
back there. They brought three nurses trying to find a vein,
and honestly, I couldn't see you on myself. They were hiding.
They were like, no, no, no, Scott, No, no, I'm
telling you you all. It took thirty minutes. Usually book
they put drivy in. It's over. No thirty minutes. I'm
sitting back there going, oh gosh, they're gonna kill me.
They're gonna kill me. God. She listened there with me,
(02:22):
going and you'll be fine. She has been a superstar.
I'm telling you you all, good wives. You just don't understand.
They're the best thing in the world. She's been a
superstar through this whole ordeal. So Scott, finally, the anesthesiologists
and I talk about the spine blocker, which I had
one time done on my hip in Greensboro. You remember, Scott,
(02:42):
And I told him I didn't fill a leg for
five years. Guys, I didn't fill my leg for five years.
They bruised a little spot on your backbone. Didn't hurt me,
but they bruised it, and it took five years for
me to get total feeling back. So I talked to
him about that and he was like, well, i'll just
put you under then, Jerry, since you had that experience,
he says, I've never even heard of that jury. He says,
(03:02):
usually after six weeks, what you have is what you have.
It's got you know, you're with me. It took five
years and it all came back. So I told him
about that, and then I said, but what do you prefer?
He says, Jerry, I've been doing this blocker for a
million years. I said, okay, Doc from Cincinnati. It's so funny, Scott.
He says, I watched basketball, but I just remember the
left handers, he says, Rick Wilson. Jerry feel fine. I'm like,
(03:27):
how do you remember that? He says, I just do?
So he spoke, had a good little time, and he says,
you'll be fine. Put me to take me in there.
Scott hit me in the back. It was all good.
And Doc walked in said, well, take good care of you.
Next thing I know, I'm in the recovery room. Scott.
That's all. It was all said and done. And Doctor
Marconnie told me that I was going to have pain
(03:49):
day two and three, and I have some pain today.
But from what I've compared to what I've heard from
my friends, I've slept all night. Other than one I
have to take these drugs, I have slept all night.
I mean amazing. So I'm telling you if you gotta
get your knee replaced. Doctor Rcannie is the one. I mean,
I've it's just been amazing how smoothly this has gone
(04:11):
so far. So then yesterday, the second day, you know,
they give you no time to do anything. Doctor Rcannie said, Oh,
I said, well, what am I going to do? He says,
you're going to walk every fifteen minutes of every hour
that you're up. I said, I'm like, what did you
just say to me? This is day one? He said, exactly,
(04:31):
You're going to get up and walk fifteen minutes every hour.
And my wife has been like the greatest coach in
the world. Scotch She cracks the whip. It's fifteen minutes time,
let's go. So Scott, I've been walking from day one.
So yesterday Courts was good therapy comes. Everyone knows court
has been my sponsor forever. I mean, they're the best,
in my opinion, in the world. So they came in yesterday,
(04:55):
took my drainage plug out which cut down on the swelling,
and maybe do a exercises. But they're coming back today
at eight thirty to kill me. Scott. She said, I'm
just gonna be honest now when we come back tomorrow.
Just be ready. So I've already popped a pain peel.
I took a strong talent. I've got it sitting right
here by my computer because they're gonna be here at
eight thirty Scott, and I got to be ready. But
(05:16):
right now I'm happy with my progress. I'm not gonna
kitch it, even though I'm just high as I can be.
So that's the deal. Guys, with this knee surgery. They
are more extensive than hips. I mean, I take nine
different cocktails of drugs. It's crazy. But I'm gonna follow
the directions. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do
exactly what they told me to do. Period. So here
(05:40):
we go to Scott. Anthony. You know, I've had a
football contest, and Matt knows I've been giving people just
the blues because I beat everyone, Scott. So now I've
gotten a lot of the men are scared to gamble
against me because I beat them, Scott, and they say, oh,
you stack it against us, you get to pick second.
Of course, I'm giving away the money. Come on, man,
(06:01):
they put up nothing. I put them all the money,
but they want to change my rules. Come on, Scott.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Then they go to Dart always win exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
They go to Derby City, they have to put up
some of their own money. They put up no money.
They just have to have an opportunity call in win
some money. Well, Scott, I want everybody to know that.
And you were close, Scott Bowage, you were close. I'm
going to give everybody scores. I keep all the scores
so that you all know this is legitimate. If I lose,
I lose. So Anthony, you had the Kentucky Georgia score
(06:33):
forty to ten, fifty two total points, and we know
what was it, thirteen twelve something like that.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, I was etting close.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yes, you weren't close. Sheila, my wife had it Kentucky
fourteen Georgia twenty four thirty eight points. Okay, Scott, you
had Kentucky ten Georgia twenty seven thirty seven points. But
you lost t.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Twenty four twenty four to seven. You will my number
is down.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I'm wrong, Oh, get out of here. But still, if
you won all the game, Scott, you would have won
because nobody was below thirty seven. So see now you're
saying I Rochard scored that run. Hey, can't you believe
that an'tey, I'm gonna change it. You still wouldn't have won, Scott,
because you lost.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
We need to go back to the tick.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Scott, you lost, you picked, you lost, You picked Ucla.
You lost, Scott, Yes, you picked Ucla twenty one, Indiana seventeen. Yes,
I got all the scores, Scott. All my listeners know
I have all the scores. So people like Ron at
the Kentucky score Kentucky thirteen, Georgia thirty four. Okay, he
(07:36):
won a lot of games, but I think I got
him in the high school game. I think Mike had
Kentucky Georgia sixty three to ten, seventy three points. Of
course that wasn't a winner. Turn to pitch. I haven't
taught my other book that golly was my other pitches.
But everybody knows what their scores were. So you were
the only ones close, you and Sheila. Because Scott, you
(07:58):
saying twenty four, that would have been that's fine. If
you would have said that's got where you would get
that would have been thirty four points. If you would
not have lost the Ucla game, you would have won
because you beat the person that beat me. But there
was a person that beat me. And let me go.
This is crazy. I can't even find her dang scores.
(08:21):
And it was a female who beat me. I told
you my brain's gone. But the person went five and
oh the person picked Indiana to beat UCLA. Okay. The
person in the Ballard game, she had the ballad game
against me, she had the score correct. I took the over.
It was the under. Okay, she beat me. She went
(08:43):
five and oh. So there's a winner of Eve Sports Radio.
Guys for two hundred and fifty dollars, just want to
try to know that I am writing in the chick
to The winner was Patty exactly, not ac not blanded,
not run, not Steve, not Steve, not Sleepless, not all
(09:05):
my callers, not Marty, nobody. So Patty gets a check
for me Sports Radio, for Twitter, for Didas. I will
say this, Scott, Anthony, I think I'm on the only
show in the city that gives away money, real money.
So you know, the contest reboots again, Anthony, what are
the games? I don't even have the games, you all,
(09:26):
I'm out of it. What are the games for this?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Godam so the games for this week that we have
the first one we have on the list is Louisville
versus Georgia Tech. Then the second one we have is
Tennessee versus Oklahoma, and we have USC versus Michigan and
then Kentucky versus Ohio. So those are our contest games
this week.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And Louisville Yule is the tiebreaker, big game for University
of Louisville. We've got to talk a little bit about
first real opponent. But Georgia Tech still at home. But
it should be a good football game. Of course I'll
be watching it from my lazy boy, but should be
a really good game. So we'll talk about that one,
but you can call in. Those are the four games
(10:09):
Anthony has got. The high school game. You're still gambling
against me. If you want to go, you'll ask you.
He's going to give you the game. You give the score,
he'll send them to me and then make sure you
send me your email. But I don't know, but I'll
give you I will send back, or I'll post my
scores on EVE Sports Radio so that everybody can see them.
For the people that want to gamble against me, that's
(10:29):
probably the easiest way to do it. I'll post it
on EVE Sports Radio. So y'all can find me and
look at them. But that's how it goes this week.
So let's make sure that we start getting our calls
in for the games. Yes, the money has gone back now.
Men at fifty, if you bet against me one hundred,
women at seventy five, if you bet against me one
(10:50):
fifty guys, it's the easiest money, the easiest opportunity to
win money in the city of Louisville. You just have
to beat the king, that's all, Scott. Hard to do,
that's all, Scott. It's just hard to do, Scotty.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It sounds like they King was throw.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, no, no question. I was nipped on a ballad game, Scot.
I told Anthony on my bruins, I took them over.
Oh of all the games, I got beat on my
ballert team. I'm like, that's just disgraceful. I had to
do something with my bruins. I don't have to go
meet with them, Scott.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
So Gott talk to them before the game and let
them let them know money's on the line.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
It's got enough of that's going on right now, with
all this gambling on college games, and that's going on
right now. You all care what you say. Everyone is
talking to these players about what they have on the line. Everyone,
I just don't guys. I'm glad the players are getting paid,
but the gambling, I guess it's just everyone's going to
(11:51):
do it, so it is what it is. But I
just hope that the schools can insulate the players away
from it, and the players staff the social media is
as much so that they don't get all the craziness
that goes on is people's money. You know, when people
put money out there, they get crazy. They won't say
anything to you on social media, So I hope the
players understand that piece also to stay off social media.
(12:13):
That's the best thing to do. But guys, what y'all got?
What's been going on since I've been.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Going, Man, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
So the biggest thing that we saw and I talked
to I sent you yesterday about Tennessee increasing their ticket places.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
By ten percent to help pay for their student athletes.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
M h, you.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Know this is I guess they're the first ones to
do it, and I can see.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Everybody else on the line.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Because this is just an easier way to to make
sure those guys are getting paid. And you know, the
like I said, Tennessee is the first one. And don't
be surprised, you ruis Ope Entucky. You know, all these
big schools are falling in line. It's something that you know,
(13:07):
these players want their money and these schools, you know,
to get the best players. This is what they're doing.
So you know, what are your thoughts on this one post?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, well, you know it's seven nineteen. I'm going to
have Anthony. I'm going to read some of that to
our listeners so that they'll understand, and Scott, I'm going
to tell you all what is truly going on, what
has transpired in this college athletics, so that everybody will
know when they need to say no, it just is
what it is. So when we come back from break, Anthony,
(13:38):
I'm going to read some of the statement about what's
going on at Tennessee so that people will understand what
you're talking about, Scott, and then I'm gonna thought to
Anthony for a little of his interpretation. Then I'm going
to just tell everybody truly what's going on. So guys,
it's seven twenty. I'm back today. I will not be
back tomorrow. You all. I had to set my alarm twice.
Anthony had to call me. The drugs have to take.
(13:59):
They just have me loose. They just do So you're
going to give me some time, but to continue supporting
Scott and Anthony calling give you scores. You got a
chance to win some money. I just gave up two
hundred and fifty dollars and let me tell you what scotten, Anthony.
I'm telled this city is sick. You know what I've
already gotten. The check's going to bounce. I'm like, oh
my goodness, I've never had a check bounce. I ought
(14:21):
to be deal OUs with you all. I think I've
bought fourteen homes in my life everywhere. I've never had
a check bounce. I've never been turned down for credit.
Patty's check is good. They just kill me, Anthony, they
kill me. But it is true. I've dinosaur ORMs. I
don't give my money away. That's why I've got money
to give to Patty. It's just my sponsor's money. Anyway,
(14:42):
John Carney, you just gave some money. That's all you
gave money away. I'm glad. I'm just letting you know.
Giving you money away, John, I love it, But it's
the sports radio when we come back we're gonna read
what universities are doing to raise money for their athletic programs,
again putting it on the back of their fan base.
Talk to you in a minute. Welcome back to E
(15:04):
Sports Radio. It is seven five. Yes, I did just
get pleased for two hundred and fifty dollars. Patty is
the winner and I will call out all the scores
maybe on Friday, so everyone will know where they are.
I just can't even find them right now. And being
honest with you all, but Scott, here is the deal. Anthony.
(15:25):
Tennessee increases ticket prices Anthony by ten percent to help
pay student athletes. This is comical, you all, and what
is believed to be the first arrangement of its kind.
Tennessee fans for all sports will be charged to ten
percent talent fee on tickets to pay athletes. Is part
of the new revenue sharing plan set to begin in
(15:47):
twenty twenty five. That's the lawsuit n Cuba. You all
know in the lawsuit that they're going through. The university
shared the news with football season ticket holders via email Tuesday,
which included in passionate for a minute video from athletic
director Danny White telling fans that talent fee and other
strategies were part of an extensive plan to continue our
(16:07):
dominance in college athletics and build something and build something
like never seen before. In addition to the timbercent increase
on all ticket invoices, season ticket in single game purchases,
as well as donations for those seats, Tennessee will add
an average increase of four point five on all football tickets. Okay,
(16:30):
in this era of name, image and likeness, there's never
been as close a connection between resources and competitive success
as White, noting that Tennessee is captured the last three
sec all sports trophies. We want to be the leader
in college sports. That means we want to be the
leader in revenue share. Guys, I want to read this
(16:51):
to you. I'm going down a paragraph and then I'm
gonna thought to you Anthony and the most recent financial
data available, the Tennessee footbroll Crow turned seventy five million
dollar profit in twenty twenty three, after one hundred and
thirty four point nine million in revenue and fifty nine
point one million and expenses. We all know that college
football rules the roost, Guys, we do so, Anthony, what
(17:15):
do you think not just on the ticket prices, but
on the donations. For people to get the good seats,
they're gonna have to pay four point five percent. What
do you think any Do you agree with it?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
No, it's I see what they're trying to do when
they're talking about revenue sales and trying to boost to
help pay nils, Because one, it boosts the players that
they're able to get, which is a big factor that's
going on in college sports now, especially with football. At
the same time is if these fans are gonna pay
an extra timbercent in ticket sales, it might not be
a huge difference in the nosebleed seats, but you talk
(17:47):
about those seats that are close down to the field
where they're already paying, you know, twenty thirty thousand dollars
a season for tickets, they say, we're gonna bump you
up another five grand. If you go out there and
you don't produce and you don't win games, they're going
to be upset and they're not gonna want to pay that. Yes,
when you pay for when you pay for something you
want results. You know, you don't go to the grocery
(18:08):
store and pay extra for food. You know they try,
it's going to extually be an extra ten percent, Like why, oh,
it's gonna taste better, and then you get home and
it tastes the same. You're like, this is this is pointless.
I don't want I pay for it for it's the
same thing, Like I'm not I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna go to this. I'm not gonna go to the
grocery store and pay ten percent more for the same
tastes as I can get down the street. So it
(18:29):
plays a big factor to that. And then this money
is going to go into more aspects than just paying players.
It's going to go into the coaches too, And something
that I just wanted to pull up real quick because
I know we ain't even talked about yesterday, even two
days ago, and we were talking about if Florida State
and Florida coaches would have their job, that they continue
to keep losing games, Well, this is the payout for
(18:51):
Florida State. Would old Mike Norville sixty five million dollars
if they fired him right now, Florida would old billion.
Maybe Florida would old Billy maybe your twenty six million
dollars if he got fired today. Too, So you've got
to understand ten percent ticket sales. That means for state
has to come out of pocket sixty five million dollars
for a coach that really hasn't done much the last
(19:12):
three games that they probably want to get rid of
at the end of the season anyways. So if it's
not sixty five million dollars now, it's still going to
be probably in the high fifties by the end of
the season. So that's fifty million dollars that you're just
going tankfully i'd say kind of in negative equity, because
you're just paying someone to not be there. So you
have to put those little small factors, I said, in consideration, consideration.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Okay, Scott Anthony, here's what's going on. I've been telling
my listeners for a long time. When name, image and
likeness came out at the beginning, all they said to
the players is you can get a second job. Now.
We can't tell you you can't, okay. And it was
up to the players to go in solicit businesses and
(19:53):
try to find people that would sponsor them. But that's
all that the NCAA said. NCAA has not given up
one penny of their money. I want people to know,
and President Chuckswood University of Louisville announced this to all
the athletic directors and coaches probably six months ago, that
college athletics makes more than every professional sport other than
(20:16):
the cash cow. Come on, gods, the NFL. Let me
say it to you again. College athletics revenue makes more
than every professional sport other than the cash cow the NFL.
The NFL is the best at what they do. It's
not close. So knowing that what's going on now, well
people are telling them you have to pay. You can't
(20:37):
call them student athletes anymore. They can't get CTE. And
like I told you all, I want you to think
of this, how tragic it would be. Student athlete wide receivers,
student athlete cornerback runs into coach on the sideline. All
three of them have concussions, got all three of them
have issues, have to go to the hospital. Well, in school,
(21:00):
they'll be taken care of, so will the coach while
he's working there. But when the coach is fired and
moves on and it comes back, he's got something called
workmen's camp that the players do not have, but the
coach would. The coach would be taken care of. Just fact,
this is how bad. This is so knowing that what
(21:21):
they're doing now is they don't want to share they
the universities, any of their profits with the players, they're
now just putting it on the backs. They're trying to
tell you in a polite, nice way, you're gonna pay
for this, but we're not gonna share our revenues, and
they're not. Anthony, I'm so glad you brought up coaches salaries.
(21:43):
I'm still asking whoever science contracts it says they're gonna
pay somebody seventy five million. I think the whole school's cheating.
I think the lawyers that sign it are cheating. Are idiots.
There's no other way to put it. I think the
presidents are idiots. There's no other way to put it.
They'll leave, Let them leave. There's no way you can
pay a coach with they're paying. Just think about Jimbo
(22:03):
Fisher that Texas A and M last year. I mean,
his is just it was crazy. I'm gonna they have
to pay him to leave. Guys, Contracts like that should
never be written, but they have been because they've been
giving them money to all the coaches. Guys, that's that's
the facts, and all the athletic directors, and again you
all know I tell you all facts. Most of the
players African Americans, most of the coaches are white, especially
(22:27):
the predominantly powered schools in the States. And I've said
it for forever and I'm saying it to you again. No,
I'm not going to roll over on every police officer
was cheetah. But I'm going to tell you the facts
about the NCAA. They've paid the coaches, the athletic directors,
they're family members. All the money just facts. So now
(22:52):
it's going to be an epidemic. All the universities are
going to make the fans pay for the players money
because they don't want to share a dime. They still
want to make the same mistakes anthing that they've made
with these buyout for these coaches. They still want to
be able to do that. They want to be able
to hire every family member somewhere throughout the university. They
want to be able to do that. Guys, it's gone
(23:13):
too far. Now. People are sitting enough and they're upset
with the players. Don't be I've told you all forever
that's the problem. Don't be We've been duped for seventy years.
Walter Bowers wrote the game called them student athletes. Again,
listen to what I'm telling you all. A student athlete. Now,
if they get injured, I think they'll cover them for
(23:35):
five years. But what happens is a wide receiver you
all all understand football, a quarterback. There's a down and out.
A quarterback throws it down and out towards the sidelines.
Both players crash into the coach. Don't forget we had
a media guy here that was wanting to sue Trinity
because he got hurt on the sideline. Do you remember.
(23:55):
I'm not gonna call out his name, he's my man,
but you all do know that he was standing on
the sideline. He wanted to sue. He wanted compensation. So
what would happen fifteen years down the road when the
coach had a problem with that ankle that wrists that knee.
The coach gets workman's calm. Fifteen years down the road,
(24:16):
the players get nothing. You shold nothing, guys, listen to me,
absolutely positively nothing when you call them student athletes. So
this three card molly who c NCAA plays, They love
to play it and they do play it now. It's
just forthright. They're telling you all, we're keeping our money
(24:38):
and if you want a good program, you're gonna have
to pay for it. With all the money they've wasted
with all those coaches buyouts. Guys, don't get mad at
me because I'm telling you the truth. They listen to me.
My sponsors. I got the best sponsors in the world.
Mike Vine's daddy. But when Mike was a little big
kid wiping his nose, her Vine had Louisville Ticks right
behind the bench. He supported lit with cars. You got me.
(25:03):
Billy Hayes Towny Country, his dad did the same thing.
He and Denny Crumb played cards together. You got me the
exact same thing. Paid the fees to build the programs up.
If you look down court physical Therapy, all the people
that are part of the Young Center, Yes, and that
University of Louisville because the Young Center is a big attraction.
A lot of people have advertisement in there, Clark and Riggs,
(25:26):
all my restaurants. People they're vying off of University of Louisville,
and they're making them have to do well. So, guys,
when I've been telling you this, the universities have to
give up some money. The players should be paid. Don't
be mad at me because I'm telling you the truth.
Do not. It's just the facts. And for years they
(25:47):
paid the coaches the administrators crazy. Well, y'all heard it.
It's almost comical money. It's almost unbelievable that they'll pay
a football coach fifty million dollars to leave Anthony Scott
is almost unbelievable. Let's just be honest. I mean, it's
almost unbelieval. So what was Jerry? Those buyout?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Where pocket out?
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Well again, I'm gonna tell people. When I left ANT,
I made one hundred and forty five thousand dollars in
twenty twelve, and yes we did beat the Pauls and
all the big Power five teams. We did. But Scott
they fired me and I had fourteen months left on
my contract and my vacation day. Scott, I got about
eighteen months of pay, which I couldn't believe. At undred
(26:29):
forty five thousand dollars, they paid me every penny. I
love it ANT, but guys one hundred and forty five
and fifty million, it's drastically different. It's comical. So we
get to break when we come back again, and you
all got to get your calls in, gotta get for
this week. I'm sorry guys now these drugs have me
to where it just happens. But you've got to get
(26:49):
your scores in for the games, Anthony, Ward, are our
four games again before we go to our second break?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yep, So our games that we have.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
We have Louisville versus Georgia Tech, Tennessee versus Oklahoma, have
USC versus Michigan, and then Kentucky versus Ohio.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
There you go. Can tell you that's a must win
for Kentucky. I mean they must win. And when we
come back, guys, is Louisville's first true test and it's
a must win for them in this ACC conference because
the league's bad. It's just bad. Eastwarts Radio. Scott boways
and that knees and I'll be back after the break.
Welcome back to eas Sports Radio. It is seven forty.
(27:28):
I'll have to take a break, guys in about five minutes,
six minutes, so we'll have to keep the segment fairly short. Anthony,
You're first Louisville versus Georgia Tech at home. I want
people to know here's how the ACC stands Syracuse is won,
and O Boston College one and OH Virginia's one, and
oh Georgia Tech's one and one. Everyone else is oh
(27:50):
for they haven't played Wait Forces on one, Florida State
ish and two. This is Louisville's first conference game, so Louisville, Miami,
North Carolina, Pittsburgh Duke, and the Golden Barras and have
not played a conference again yet. What do you think
of the matchup, Anthony? Should you take lleuivelle.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be
fairly close. And the reason why I say that's because
I like Georgia Tech's quarterback. I like Haynes King. I
think he's got a lot of potential out there if
he has skill and veteran leadership for Georgia Tech. And
also I think Georgia Tech has played more, say more
more competitive teams than the U L has. And that's
something I said last show. I said I can't not
(28:31):
U of L and the players because the players don't
go out there and make the schedule, and they produced
in the first two games they won, put up seventy
two to one, game sixty six another. So I can't
go out there and be like, oh, they're playing bad teams. Well,
they're doing what they're supposed to do against these teams.
They're beating them by fifty sixty points, which you know,
we had the same thing a beginning of our schedules too.
You go out there and you play teams and just
(28:52):
trying to get a field, build some team chemistry. Since
you have a lot of new players and new quarterback,
you usually don't want to come right off the bat
and play some that could probably beat you, which is
you see what's happened with Florida State. I think even
if Florida State started off with a different team, or
even a team like Austin Peter Jacksonville State, they might
have been in a different situation than they are now.
I'm still gonna take I'm still gonna take U of
(29:13):
L in this game, just because we have a little
of momentum, we're at home. I think that plays a
big factory. But I do think it will be close, though.
I will say.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
That, Scott, what do you think? You know? We've got
Tyler Shuck, experienced quarterback, family man, He's been playing college
for quite a long time. Hasn't been moved off his spot.
I think one time some George told me that I
had left at halftime. But in one of the games
someone did at least knock him down once. But he's
never felt real pressure. So now that he's playing a
(29:42):
quality ACC team, what do you think happens?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I think he'll be fun.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
You know.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
The good thing with him is he's been on college
for almost a decade, so uh, you know, he's older,
he's experienced, and you know, he was playing at a
high level, you know, Oregon and Texas Tech, and you know,
it's just that experience for you know, playing high level
football for such a long time that gives them that experience.
(30:12):
And I think it'll be fine. I think Louisville, you know,
being at home is a definitely advantage for them, get
a home field. So you know, though, I have them
win in a close battle, but you'll definitely pull.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
It out, gotcha. Yeah, I know, guys, this is so hard.
I went to both of the Louisville games, and they
had the bye week last week, and I was supposed
to have gone to the Kentucky game, but my knee
was shot. I couldn't walk around the corner. So I said,
there's no reason we trying to do this because but
I wanted to see Kentucky Georgia, because I wanted to
see Georgia live in person. On the Field's got our
(30:49):
press passes, get us down on the field. I get
to see the sizes. Bring on Balale Powell, one of
the best running backs in Louisville history. Great guy played
for the New York Jets for nine year and we
were on the field just talking about the sizes. He
was telling me what to look at and why you
should look at them, and to see quality teams. And
when the first thing he says, interior lineman, he wants
(31:10):
to see some beef. If they've got beef at beef
and quickness, which means they're large and fast, he says,
you're in trouble. That's the bottom line. A lot of
teams have big guys, but they have no latter quickness.
So he says you can see that from some of
the drills when they come out to warm up. So
I would love for Saturday to be able to get
(31:30):
on the field at Louisville, which I can and watch
again just to see the difference in sizes. So I
could tell our fans and our listeners there is a
difference in size with these programs. I think something Louisville
didn't expect as they're running back course been better than
people expected. With Brown Watson, well, the two Browns have
(31:50):
been better than people expected. So that's been a good surprise.
We'll see if Louisville can create a running game against
Georgia Tech and see how that goes. Same thing with
Georgia Tech. Really nifty. Like Anthony said, quarterback is nifty,
They're running a different kind of offense. Love is gonna
have to be disciplined. They're gonna have to stay at home.
They're not gonna have their eyes, won't be able to
lie to them because if they over pursue, Georgia Tech
(32:12):
will burn them. But it's the first real test, so
it should be a great game. Do you know what
time that game starts at all? That game?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
That game? If I'm not wrong, I think it's at
three forty five.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
So let me see a year, right, three thirty afy, yep,
three thirty. That game starts, yes, three thirty, So that
is our key game. Guys. We're at seven forty six.
We're gonna get to break. So when we come back
to the sports radio, we got Scott Bolwage from Florida. Yes,
I'm going to his condo, that's one. I'm kicking him
out again. And Anthony Eves here in Louisville. We'll talk
(32:47):
to you all in a minute. Welcome back to sports radio.
I finally found them, guys. I told you all that
I've got too many drugs at me. I found all
the scores, so let me give it to you. Patty
was four and and Steve was four and O. Got me.
Those were the only two people that were four and
O in their scores. Steve had Kentucky Georgia forty eight
(33:10):
to ten fifty eight total points. Patty had Kentucky Georgia
thirty five ten forty five total points. So, Scott, if
you wouldn't have lost the UCLA game, and Sheila also,
you owe have won. But you all picked the UCLA game.
So you are three and one. Most people were three
and one. Mary, you were two and two. Sleepless you
(33:34):
were two and two. Blanding, you were awful two and two.
Steve was Steve My first caller was He didn't take
the high school game, but he had Kentucky Georgia forty
eight ten. That's why Patty beat him. Ac was two
and two and that was the contest. Mary two and
(33:58):
two and had Kentucky from forty eight to seven fifty
five points. So guys, that were the points. That's what happened.
Patty had UCLA twenty one, Indiana twenty four. A lot
of people went with UCLA and I would have also.
That was Scott's demise. She was demise. She had Wisconsin
Alabama thirty seven to ten. Alabama routed Wisconsin. She had
(34:20):
Notre Dame twenty four to seventeen over Purdue. We know
that was a blowout. And then she beat me in
the Ballard game against Brian's station. She went twenty four
to twenty. I went twenty five twenty and it was
the under. It was like twenty to ten was the
final score or no, it's seventeen ten was the final score.
So Patty beat me. So again, Patty wins the two fifty.
(34:43):
So I got everybody's score. So you've got two days
to get it in. You're not gambling, it's just sponsor's money.
You got a chance to win it, so try to
win it. But Patty congratulations. I'm glad. So the people
are knowing the check's not gonna bounce, Patty. They said
the checks are gonna bounce. It's not going to bounce, Patty.
That's all trusted me. So guys we're here. You know
(35:05):
we've gone through a lot this week. What are some
of the other hot topics I want to talk about
seven fifty two before week? Go Scott? What you have.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
I saw on the revenue side of things that you
know we talked about Tennessee increasing their prices, but also
you know the ACC is in off with Clemson and
Florida State about revenue distribution.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Yes, and you know, I think this is a bad
time for Florida State to be in those negotiations.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Yeah, they're both alling there. Clemson is not all but
still yeah they're not.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
They're not what they used to be for sure.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
So people understand what they're talking about is that they're
talking to Clemson in Florida State about the better teams
will get more of the revenue. The people that largest attendance,
the largest mart radio share, TV share, they're gonna pay
more to trying to influence them. So they're gonna pay
the Hals and they're not gonna pay the have notts.
That's what the ACC is going to do. Trying to
(36:11):
keep Florida State and Clemson. They need to improve their
product both teams, I really do. But that's all that
they're trying to do. And that's great for Louisville right
now though, guys, I really want to because Louisville is
one of the better teams in the ACC. So with
this is going on twenty twenty five, Louisville will get
more of the revenue, which is a plus. For the
University of Lovelle is a plus. So we've got a
(36:34):
large market here in Louisville, larger than a lot of
the schools. There's interest and if they can do well,
they'll get more of the money, which is a plus. Andy,
what do you have man?
Speaker 7 (36:43):
Before we get out here, I don't even know. You
don't even know, man, I don't I.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Don't brings lockdown.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
It is it is my brain is. My brain has
been getting scrambled the last couple of days. I'm running
the very little sleep.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
That's what you get for going to Denver. You got
to stay home, That's all I tell you. You get caught
trying to travel here's the deal. We've got some book
huge football games this weekend. We've got the Ravens and
my Cowboys in Dallas. The Cowboys got embarrassed, so I
mean both teams have to have the w that's a
(37:29):
big game. I want to see this Tennessee Oklahoma game.
That's what Tennessee looks like. Boy, they're looking strong as
can be. I want to see them. I'm interested. I
haven't watched them at all, not one time, but I
do want to watch them, see their style of play.
I just think this year it's completely up in the air.
When you look at the college football rankings. Guys, it's
(37:50):
just amazing how that Texas has now jump Georgia because
of the Kentucky game. So they pulled Georgia down, or
I'll say to it to an old Alabama's at ole
miss looks good at three, and oh, Tennessee's at three,
and o Missouri's at three, and oh there's Miami, thank
you acc at three, and oh Oregon big ten and
then Penn State. So guys, did you all hear me?
(38:13):
The SEC is going to get at least I think
five to six teams in the College football Playoffs, which
means the revenue that everybody's talking about, they will get
more revenue. It'll be very hard for the other conferences
to compete with Kentucky and the sec raking in all
the money, just the facts then have a very hard
time for them to compete. So that's why this money game,
(38:36):
it is a money game. Now it's just out front.
There's no more playing games, there's no more secret contracts,
people not wanting to you to know what they've been
paying these guys. I think that the slow there will
be a slowing down of the fifty million dollar buyouts. Guys,
everybody listening, that's just done stupid. If a person won't
come for a decent contract and a decent salary and
(38:59):
maybe a year and a hal half pay after that,
don't hire them. Trust me, there are no other gigs
in America that are doing this all there is to it.
But you know, we've got stupid administrators got stupid because
they had to spend the money. My only problem is
they still don't want to share their money. They're asking
for more money off the backs of their fans. And
(39:19):
that's what all the universities are going to do. And
I think that's truly disgraceful. They made more money than
the NBA Day college. They made more money than baseball
day college. Got me, they made more money. You will.
So it's just absolutely no reason why they can't find
a way to share the revenue they have. They don't
want to, that's all. They want to keep the money.
(39:41):
Don't get it twisted, Eve Sports Radio, Scott and Nanthy
will have it tomorrow. Get your scores in. Great job,
any great job, Scott. Matt's taking care of you all.
I won't be back hopefully next week. Guys. I'll feel
better this one did. It stressed me out just being
honest with you. My brain's in a fall, just trying
to remember when I said last So I hope I
(40:01):
was in bad today. Love youall. Esports Radio is out
