Welcome into the CC podcast, everybody. It is the late morning, early afternoon of Friday, November 7th.

Mike Rutherford's in Louisville, Kentucky, dancing art, back up in Dublin, Ohio. We're excited to be here.

I mean, this is one of those periods in time, man, when there's no college sports happening

or when college, your favorite team is playing poorly.

These are the moments in time that you dream about.

We've got Louisville football playing in another essentially playoff elimination game on

Saturday night in front of the home crowd against Cal.

Big spot for the cards, who we now know, are number 15 in the first college football

playoff rankings.

And we've got a 2-0 Louisville men's basketball team that now it feels weird.

It feels strange, but it doesn't matter.

It's coming anyway.

Is staring down a showdown with Kentucky, the hated rivals coming to the KFCM Center

in just four days, which feels remarkably weird.

We'll talk about all this stuff and we'll say hello to our good friend, Dan Snerd,

in just a second before we do, reminding you that our podcast is now powered by LG&E. LG&E and KU know that when the lights go out, it can feel like a

full core press. But staying in the know is an easy win. Update your phone number in the

LG&E and KU mobile app or in my account. If the power goes out, you'll get play by play text from the number

454-358. They'll give you outage updates, safety information, and time estimates for when your

power is going to come back on. If you can't text, no problem. They'll call the landline number

on your account with the same updates. so you're never left in the dark.

Because when you're in the dark, there's no defense.
