Speaker 2 (01:29):
There was a bison joke in the Dad Jokes book
that I was reading that Marsha gave me.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Would you like to hear it?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yes? Would I like to hear your dad joke about bison? Sure?
Why not?

Speaker 3 (01:43):

Speaker 4 (01:44):
There you go? All right, it's a terrible joke.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Joke.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
It's terrible joke, but that's okay. I like terrible jokes. Uh. Well, tonight,
Kentucky and David uh Lips, whom they have played Arkansas
this year already, They have played Western this year already lost.
Both games were competitive. In the Arkansas game for about
thirty minutes and then kind of lost by a lot.
(02:09):
But then we're very competitive. Lost to Western there at
the end drew, So it should be a good, good contest.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Yeah, they've already played a lot of games. They've They
also played Belmont in the Battle of the Boulevard.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Are you very you brought that game up yesterday? Are
you had a big one? Do you know? They're not
good in the second half? They were up ten, blew it.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
They were within four against Arkansas ended up getting blown
out at the end of their other loss, so they
were up at halftime, end up losing. So they're not
a second half team.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
All right, Well, that's good to remember if it's if
it's close in the first half. I watched a little
bit of Arkansas last night. They played the three hundred
and fifty eighth ranked team in Kim Palm Pacific that
was oh to sixteen last year in the conference. It
was a five point game with eight minutes ago, and
then they and then they pulled away.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
So I got a text that it was within two
did they get Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Actually did get a little earlier, but they were within
two point having not that team had not won a
conference game only one one in two years.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Well, the main thing is it's a tournament like atmosphere
with the BBN tournament off the.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Condem It is the BBN Invitational tonight, one of the
historic tournaments in America. We with Western, Jackson State and Lipscomb. Yeah. Yeah,
you can keep your MAU Invitational, you know, you can
keep your Battle of the Atlantis, you can keep all that.
We got the BBN Invitational tonight. You can feel it,
(03:30):
you know, you really can't feel it.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Yeah, driving through town, I saw people going to work
at lofices and people on the corner on.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
The interstate truck. Yeah, there's just an energy in town.
There's just a lot, a lot going on, you know.
I I drove this morning from Louisville, and so on
my drive, you know, that gives you a chance to think. Sure,
I listened to, you know, part of the Bill Simmons podcast.
He's unbearable now, but I still I still listen on
Mondays with cut with cousin Sal And when that was over,
(03:59):
I had some time with and then I realized it's
like twelve days maybe actually more like ten days before
we get in a car and drive to UH to Seattle.
I mean it is. It's it's right here among us.
You know. I put on Twitter that the various stops
I think we're gonna make, although you know, depending on
(04:20):
a couple of things, a couple might change, but but
likely to stay the night in Iowa City, Iowa. So
do our show that Monday in Iowa City for all
the people that are Iowa City folks. Then Burk or
no Logan South Dakota, Logan South Dakota, a Burke, South Dakota.
It's one of those two times of the Dakota's. I
(04:40):
don't know which one it is, but it's one of them.
That's where my friend has his ranch, okay, which he
says he's invited us to. But also he doesn't communicate
a ton. I wonder if he's like realizing, maybe I
don't want these people at my ranch, but we're gonna
be in that town either way. Okay, you're really doing it.
He's like, oh that well, I mean it's a guy
I know like some he's in my he's in my Yeah,
(05:00):
he's a really interesting guy. He was like, uh he
ran for I think lieutenant governor of South Dakota. He
was a he was a rodeo guy, and it was
like a big time rodeo. He traveled around and did
the the you know, still make Chyenne rodeo and then
he got hurt and he ended up getting like paralyzed
on the waist down. So now he's in a wheelchair. Uh,
but he's still a leader in South Dakota, and like
(05:24):
he's a really really nice guy. And he said, you know,
I want you and your you to come to the
ranch and bring your show one day. And he said
it like offhand, you know, it's one of the things
you say when you live in a ranch in South Dakota,
like you should bring your your your show there. And
then I was like, you know what, we might actually
be going through South Dakota this year. And he's like, oh, yeah,
(05:46):
well how many of them there are? Yeah, oh, ok
so it's two weeks from now. Okay, but no, he said,
I talked to him yesterday. He's still he's still excited
to have it. So we're gonna go there and then
either laerm Mee or Shy in Wyoming, then Salt Lake.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
City never been. Marian and I were talking about that
for the Boise Back.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Boy Eugene, Oregon and then Seattle because we don't play
on that Saturday night until ten o'clock. So because we
play so late, I was like, we should just use
that extra day that Friday and go to Oregon. So
we're gonna be uh in Eugene, and that will then
cross off my fifty states. And I can say, like,
(06:31):
Johnny Cash, I've been everywhere.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
I know you You've addressed this, but people keep sending
me messages. Will there be some sort of pregame show
that people can come to that are out there for
the game?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I hope. So, I mean I haven't started locking down places,
but I would assume we'll pick a place in Seattle.
Games at tens, so it would be seven thirty Eastern,
four thirty Pacific. We'll probably find a place somewhere in
Seattle close to the arena arena to do it.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
I have a friend there, Jeff, who's offered to ask around, help.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Out somewhere close to the arena.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
You're a friend with the ranch. Does he know he's
up against another ranch on this trip because we're passing several.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
We're gonna pass pizza ranch. We're definitely gonna eat it
a pizza ranch. The Buffet South We love that, didn't we.
That's the kind of the Upper Midwest place.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, it's like the best pizza chain on the planet.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It's like if you want pizza uh and ranch, which,
by the way, I don't understand why more people don't
do that. I mean, does anyone dislike dipping your pizza
into ran but like it? It's awful for you. But
if you're just talking sheer taste, you.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Know, we did it. We're up in Green Bay. We
ate it one and my friend's like, all these great
restaurants up here, and you guys are gonna go eat
it a pizza ranch.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yes, it was excellent, and I think that was the
right choice. So all of those places, I don't know
if you all know things to do. I mean we've
we've been to Boise, But if you have recommendations for
Iowa City, uh, Burke, Laramie, or Salt Lake City or Eugene,
Organ we'll take him in. Then anything along the way.
We're gonna be driving through an Indian reservation. Right, there's
(08:04):
gonna be which I which I've never been to. There's
a lot of gonna be a lot of boring space.
But you know what, that's what that part of the
country is. So that's what we gotta do.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
That's when we get to talk and get to know
each other a little bit.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
But we don't talk for people who don't for people
who don't know how this trip goes. This is exactly
what happens. Can I tell you exactly? I mean, you
know I'm right about Okay, here are the car rides.
We get in for like twenty minutes. We talked to
each other, right like, we're very excited and we're like, hey,
you know we're going to river. Then Shannon is the
(08:36):
first one to check out. Shannon pulls out his iPad
watch the movie, and he no, you don't watch a movie.
You watch fifteen movies in a row, phones on and
has zero interest in communicating with us at all.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I don't want to distract the driver.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
If you just you have to distract you to distract me.
You know. It's just Shannon is in his own world
right right, Like he's not gonna talk to anyone until
the car stopped.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
No, but he's first one out. He's first want to
tap out, put your headphones in, starts act.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Like you wouldn't be too lemon if it were. If
you didn't have to be up there in those.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Drew is kind of in the middle. Drew reads some,
Drew watches movie some, but then he talks some. Drew's
kind of a middle communicator. Ryan usually sits up front.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Because he has to not about Joys.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I have to be there to when you want to
talk about Trump.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Or I'm done with that. I take it. I don't know.
I'm a week tell him about the captain. I'm a
week into it, and and I could get upset, but
you know what, I'm like, whatever, what's gonna happen? You
know it's fine. Let's just take more crazy people then.
And then now we have Mario to add. Yeah, so
we don't know what Mario. I think Mario's gonna be
(09:45):
talking a lot. Your job, Mario is to keep Shannon involved,
all right, Shannon is not involved. Don't He's saying, don't bother.
He wants you to bother. Don't want to talk to
him and get to know him a little bit.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
On the trip, we did discuss with Mario and Shannon
the sleeping arrangements because they were kind of don't neither
one wants to sleep with me. Who gets stuck with me?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Mario gets you. Shannon and Drew have paid their dues.
You get to stay with it. You get to stay
with Ryan. Now. He does snore a lot, and he.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Had Hopkinsville together.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
He snores a lot, and then he walks into the
bathroom and within moments makes it his own. And I'll
just let you realize that yourself, like within within moments.
So that's but it's a right of passage, Drew. Everybody's
done it. I did it first. Then you've done it, Drew,
and it's done it. So now it's Mario's time to
(10:39):
stay with it. Stay with you.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I've had many knights with Ryan Lemon. He's a great
roommate until lights out time. Then it feels like you're
sleeping in a construction site. He's just such a good
guy that you get through it.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Yeah, I think it's a good idea. Here's what you
gotta do. Go look around town and see if you
can find a place where they're using that machine in
the ground that goes and just lay next to it
and try to go to sleep in the after.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
But it at least has a little cadence. You can
fall over his He doesn't have a pattern. He's all
over the place.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
The thing is, Shannon and I have got it down
pat though, We've got a little routine.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Shannon gets Shannon Shandon, you'd rather stay with Drew, right,
So yeah, yeah, So Shannon gets to move don't don't
speak for him. Shannon gets to move on. He's graduating
to the next thing. And uh, congratulations, Mario, you get
to spend time with this lovely young man.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
And he says he stays up late. He stays up
to like two in the morning every night, so he's
gonna have to hear me.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Well, you know, usually Drew and Shannon are the night owls.
It's like usually you're the first one to go.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
To bed, first one tap out, then me and then.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I don't know when everybody else goes because because they
stay out. So that's that that all doing, Drew and
Shannon things doing, true and Shannon, it's only two the
only time you all talk to each other all year.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
And I'm gonna bring by a super Nintendo this year,
so it.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Should be a lot of fun.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
That One more question is Max going, Uh he.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Might go if Lexington Christian loses before the fire, see.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Gonna we gotta strap into the top.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
We have two rows yeah, we have Third Road ceating.
You know, Mario was our hookup, used to work at Enterprise.
Huh able tok. Mario got us the biggest already pulling
his weight, already pulling his weight, so should be a
lot of fun. The first show will be Monday in
Iowa City. So if you know someone in Iowa City
(12:23):
who would like to host, uh, that's gonna be our
our first show.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
It's been a couple of months and we've been to Iowa.
So we were in Iowa.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
We've been. I've never been to Iowa City.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
We popped in there on because that's how I learned
Iowa was there. We did we did a drive by.
We did do a drive by.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yes, we stayed.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
We had a little downtown with market lights.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
We stayed in Ames. We all stayed in Aimes on
one of our trips, and then we've stayed in the
morning a couple.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Of guy cities where mister Spectacular is from. We could
just shock up with him.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Oh that's right, mister Spectacular lives in Iowa City. There
we go, Shanon, you got we got we gotta get
him to come by.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Right right, Yeah, yeah, Staya's house.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Mister Spectacular lives in Ahwa City. So anyway, so that's
that's our schedule and I'm looking forward to to getting
on the road Kentucky and Lipscomb tonight. Is it seven?
Any reason? Drew you? You you think this game will
be closer than the other games like this have been.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Well, Matt, they played Belmont and I'm just kidding. They
have a very good player, like very very very good,
probably gonna be the player of the year in that conference.
He's already scored like thirty and twenty. He's six '
eight steps out shoots the three, so kind of like
Cooper Flag. I was actually gonna say they're a little
Cooper Flag ish. They have another All Conference player on
the wing. Kind of can be the the canipple there.
(13:39):
But otherwise, no, it shouldn't be an issue. Just don't
let one of those guys go crazy. You should be fine.
They shoot a lot of threes. We like that, but
I think they'll struggle with Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
You keep playing teams like that, you know, we mean,
we keep playing these teams that playoffs.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Agnavik, I'm not real great at the Asociation. Yes, he
missed all of last year after a great sophomore year
who's injured enter by wondering will he come back be good?
He's scored thirty right away, so he's he's tough.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
So Jacob Agna Civic is our guy to watch. A
good test for Andrew Carr and Jackson Robinson who who
and and even Brea took a little bit of the
defense against flag against Duke Ye.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Breya is not what Brea. It's not the greatest defender.
But he did okay on Cooper flag the other night.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
They didn't do very good. I mean they they they,
I mean they were abusing him.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Yeah. Well, like I said, he's not the greatest defender.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Neither is Car. Those two guys, No, they weren't. I
thought Car did better in the second half. Yeah, Brea,
they were picking him out every time. But Bray. But
Bray hit a huge shot, I mean and got a
huge rebound down the stretch.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
He was active with his hands, was trying to rebound.
He and Car both just lacked a little bit of
that lateral quickness.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Yeah, they just don't have a quickness for him. But
they got to spin. They're trying to spin, and we
were able to do it. If I'm nine two eight
oh twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven
two seven four five two five four are gonna take
a break, be right back, talk a little bit more
about the game. This is KSR. Welcome back. It is
(15:08):
Kentucky Sports Radio. I mean tell you driving out there,
Gonzaga is good. I watched him last night. I watched
them play the first half against San Diego State. They're good,
like I I don't know, you know, there were people
who said we're gonna take a step back. They're not.
They're good. They're their point guard can play, they get up.
I mean, they completely controlled San Diego State on their
home court last night. That's gonna be a tough game
(15:32):
that'll be. I'm not saying they're better than Duke or
worse than Duke. They're probably similar, but it's gonna be
a Duke level game. Aim. We're playing out there, So
that's gonna be a tough, tough test.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Yeah, I'm a fully expecting that one to be probably
the toughest non conference game that they'll play. They think
they are better than Duke.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Yeah, they're the big guy. They came in here and
when they won RUP last year. They still have nim
Hard's and Hickman's and the many battle transfer hard.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It's a team allowed to have.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
I feel like Nolan hick and we were recruiting him, recruited.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Him, Nolan Hickman here and decommitted. Yeah, I mean it's
it's been forever. One person writes, Matt, my husband graduated
from Iowa. Uh. There are must places to go, including
George's Buffet, and you know I like a good buffet,
especially with just a name Gabes. That's where Shannon will
like it's his kind of place. I don't know what
(16:25):
that means. And then Mickey's Irish Pub. Those are the
three places. So it sounds like three three possibilities. In Iowa,
we always have fun. And alway, do you know anybody
went to the Iowa Wrestling thing? How did that go
with Bellerman Shannon, that's your alma mater. Did they beat him?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I have not heard anything.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I would say no, yeah, probably not probably, you know
maybe so. By the way, we're ranked in the top ten, yeah,
number nine, number nine felt like uh. I think it
was the highest rise for a Kentucky team in a
rating in like ten years or something like a huge jump.
Nice to have a top ten team after there were
people earlier this year Didny Marncus in the preseason rankings
(17:05):
and now up to number nine.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yeah, very exciting. Kind of mentioned before the season how
this will be different. We won't start at the top
and fall. I even mentioned I'm kind of excited to
be nineteenth and kind of climb our way up. Didn't
expect a ten spots swing this early in the gates,
but that's what happens when you beat Dukes. Very exciting
to see Pope already up there in the top ten.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Great rise up the rankings ahead of Duke. You know,
now you got to verify the two games this week.
Shouldn't be too difficult. But you know, like the women's
team played last night and was down most of the
game after their big win. They ended up kind of
passing them and pulling away towards the end. But I
watched it. They came out slow, They were down eight
(17:47):
or ten the whole game. Is there any worry that
you think something like that could happen with the men's team.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
I think you know the fact that the women played
them just two days after they played that the big
emotional game against Louisville. It's been a week since this
Kentucky team has played, So I think that probably plays
into it. They're probably itching to get back out there
and play.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Well. Yeah, I kind I mean, it feels like it
feels like that Duke gave was a long time ago.
That does you know? I want to I'd like to
see us go ahead and get out there and go Uh.
The game tonight is on the computer. We will have
it here uh here at the at the bar. It's
the same thing like all of them. If you have
the SEC network, you will be able to get it.
But it is on the computer. And Travis Ford is
(18:25):
on the call. Yes, you know that, Like I didn't.
I've never heard him.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Do a game, have you No? And I heard him
mention in like a radio interview he's gonna call some
games this year. I didn't know if he's been in
Saint Louis, Kentucky where he'd be, but yeah, he's popping up.
I'm very excited to hear from the guy from Madisonville.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Yeah, it's been uh he ever done a basketball game
before that?
Speaker 6 (18:47):
You know, I don't think so, because he's been coaching
the whole time, you know, so they you know he
did Cameron Mills did one game. Robbie Moss did a game.
Nowobbie's doing a game.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
So they tried people out. I wonder if.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
They're yeah, or they're bringing in different players to sit
in that chair when they have a computer game.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah, well you know I I I think we talked
about I called a game with Robbie. By the way,
speaking of calling games, I practiced on a game this
weekend and you took a random ESPN Plus game that
was on replay, just picked it out. Uh, And I
(19:23):
practiced for like a quarter, just just the rhythms of
the play. But I hadn't done any research on anybody,
just the rhythms of trying to call. I would make
up people's last names because I didn't know all of them,
but I just made up the names. But I tried.
It's it's you know, it's hard because you don't know
how much to say. But it's actually easier, I think
in football than maybe in basketball and other sports, because
(19:45):
you know, you just the quarterback drops back and you know,
throws it to somebody or whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
About pre snap? Are you calling out the.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Formation and the movements and all that. I didn't say
that they were in you know, uh, cover two or
or or trips. I mean I didn't do any of that.
I tried to. I tried to just kind of ad
Myron handle it. Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna be more
basic when it comes to that stuff. I'm trying to
paint a picture more broadly in the in the listener's minds.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I think football is better because you know, you call
the play than the kind of the color guy can
break it down while you're thinking about, okay, what I'm
getting ready to set up the next player or something.
So football there is more time to kind of bounce
off each other like that.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
You're also just making up their names.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Well, I did was a game. No, you were a bench,
you were on the bitch. You were the backup quarterback.
No I did. I would. I'd say, like, you know,
Franklin drops back, looks over the middle. Oh, there's Jefferson
running round like I put my friends in there. But yes,
you were the backup.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Sounds like I was dialed in.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
You were quarterback for one of the two. I'm not
gonna say which too it was because I'm still working
on the game, but it was. It was. It was
a big Sky game, so it was that where going. Yeah,
it was out that way.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Could you're taking it seriously not procrastinating getting your practice
in early?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah, of course I do all this, and I sure
then they won't have me do it, but but just
in case, gotta be ready to go for my bowl assignment.
Who's up first?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Shit, Brian?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Brian? Go ahead, Brian A five nine eighty seven.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Well, you know you're gonna do great when you're making
statements like how many Nimrods do you need? That was
a classic while ago I did.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Did I say that nim nim brands?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Yeah, nim brands, that was a yeah, that was a
different thing. That's the name of the guy on the team. Yes,
but go ahead.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
I mean it might not be Tom Hart level, but
it's gonna be great for those of us to get
to listen to you to do it.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
So I actually got to I got a call back
on what's Mario going to do as far as the
periscope for us getting some video to see the road.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Mario will be taking video the whole trip. That's that's
explicitly why he's going. So I think you'll you'll get
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Looking forward to it. And then My last thing and
I'll jump off, is how long is it going to be?
What's the over under for Drew getting wet?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
That's right? Are you gonna Are you gonna urinate all
over the seat again like you did last time?
Speaker 5 (22:07):
I might have to get that checked out because that
was not fun on the last trip, just being wet
the whole time. I might need to see if my
doctor can get me in before Thanksgiving. You might want
to try to get for people that listen, that was
a big mystery. That's I began to actually wonder if
it was coming from me.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
But if you don't remember, he ended up sitting in
a bowl of water the entire trip and we never
figured out why.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Every morning we'd go to the car and that seat
would be soaked.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Just tagger it out.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Yeah, which you know, I'm wearing sweats because it's a
road trip. The whole time they're getting soaked. So yeahe Mario,
look what you have to look forward to. You're gonna
be excited about it. Brock vandergriff is the quarterback this week.
According to Mark Stoops, he will be the starter, says
Brock has earned his starting spot. His I think his
exact comment was, why would I switch it?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
We'll talk about if you like that. Plus he had
some very interesting comments about how he's approaching the off
season and where he might screwed up in the past.
We'll do that right after this. Kazar TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
He'll make them pay.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Welcome back to Kentucky Sports Radio. If I'm nine two
eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven
two seven seven four five two five four what presson rights? Matt,
I'm so tired of Kentucky basketball not being on TV
in the state of Kentucky. What are we doing? The future? Unfortunately? Yeah,
I mean the future is there are nine hundred different
platforms and you're gonna have to like, like I saw
(23:36):
the new Big twelve contract which begins next year, they
will have games on like six different platforms. They will
have games on ESPN and its platforms, Fox and its platforms, UH,
CBS and its platforms, T and T, Amazon, and Apple TV,
(23:59):
which on one hand and gives you a lot of exposure,
but on the other hand means you'll never really know
where a game is at any given point. Indiana was
playing the other night in basketball, and it was getting
somebody good, maybe like South Carolina or something like that,
and it was on like Peacock. And it would have
never even occurred to me to look to Peacock for
(24:19):
that game, like I would have. I mean, you might
as well have just told me it was on like
a radio station in Dubuque. I just would have never.
I would have never even thought to look there. I
think that's kind of what's what's happening now. For the
sec all of our stuff is on ESPN, But the
reality is they're trying to make it drew to where
everyone has to get ESPN. Plus, I think you're gonna
(24:41):
see five to seven starting next year, probably five to
seven college basketball games of Kentucky's just on the computer.
I think we're gonna get to a point that every
time we play a stinky team, it's only on the computer,
and that's just gonna be what it is.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Yeah, I believe Friday, we have one more after this.
I think that's the last one. We had five early
on in counting some of the exhibitions. Yeah, after Friday,
after Friday.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
It's not going anywhere.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
I mean, the next year will probably add a few more.
The NFL, they're so scattered this year, someone did the math.
It would cost like thirteen hundred dollars to watch every NFL.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Game, Which is why I know what we're headed to.
I've been saying this forever. We're gonna just get back
to cable. It's just gonna be like there'll be some
company that bundles all the streaming packages and you just
pay for that, and then you end up like the
same thing as cable. It just goes over the Internet
and is less reliable because the Internet goes out all
the time. Like that's where that's where we're headed. But
(25:35):
until then, like it just is what it is. The
other thing is, if you're under if you're Mario's age,
do you have cable sling? But again not cable, so
like like they don't even know what that is, Like
he's like sling they I mean.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Have you ever had a twist the thing in accord?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
And yeah, I mean like but they don't even like
people that age don't even look at television like we do.
All right, Like that's why part of why I continue
to make the joke about watching it on the computer
is people thirty and under, that's just what entertainment is.
It's not they don't even I don't even think they
think of TV like we do, Ryan, And that's just
the way it's gonna be.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
When do they start doing it, maybe for SEC football
that's what drives or you know, that's we.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Already have them. I mean we already have games on
there were the game Commert State game was on the computer.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
SEC games when we play other SEC teams, like.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
They won't do that because they because I mean, there's
still value to them on I mean, they still have
a ESPN channel and they still have an ABC channel,
and the SEC football games are the most valuable property
that they have. But the other games, especially basketball, you're
just I think you're gonna see more and more of
them as we go.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
I think before children like Mario are allowed to sign
into these apps, they should have to have one night
where they have to wait for the TV guide channel
to scroll to the channel they want. They cannot look
away and miss it, and they have to wait another
two minutes and then have to wait that thirty minutes
forty five minutes until your show actually comes on with commercials.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Yeah, or I mean to go even to mine and
Ryan's age, get a TV got oh yeah, yeah, get
an actual piece of paper to see what's gonna be
on there. But I would just say, you know, the
days of expecting you to be able to turn your
television on and see every game, they're just they're gone,
and I don't think they're I don't think they're coming back,
(27:26):
all right. So Stoop said, Brox quarterback, You good with it.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
I think he gives you the best chance to win.
You gotta go with the guy that thinks gives you
the best chance.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
To win in right now.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
But what we've seen, even though he hasn't had the
greatest season, he's our best chance to beat to the
Texas and Louisville. So yeah, I want him to be
my quarterback.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Yeah, I'd voted for Bowlie, but I'm all right with it.
He actually said one thing that made me feel a
little better. I thought he just really underthrew Gilmour on
that first ball that ended up being a touchdown. But
Gilmore ran the wrong route, he ran a go route,
So that made I guess that excuses Vandergriffs.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Throw a little bit it okay.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I thought his shoulder was something that just messed up
and he couldn't complete that throw, but it was a miscommunication.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I was wondering if he got if it got tipped
or something. It was so bad, so if it was.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
If it was, it made me feel a little better
about that because I was wondering just how healthy he is.
But no, I mean, Brock went into Old miss and
one had that beautiful ball to barry On that won
that game. So I'm hoping he can channel a little
more magic in Austin.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Now. Stoop's also said I think he I think Mark
thinks he's making a point when he does this, but
like I think he says it like he says it
on purpose hoping people like realize it, but I think
he doesn't realize, Like it's just what it is. He
likes to call it free agency, but I think he
does it kind of with scorn in his in his voice.
(28:42):
But it is free agency, Mark, like that's just what
it is. And he said we have to go into
free agency this year, and he acknowledged we have to
make better picks. He basically acknowledged they've screwed up on
some of the picks. Now what's interesting is I actually
think they've done a pretty good job at quote unquote
free agency. I mean, the biggest ones they've brought in
(29:03):
have all been pretty successful. But he he basically said
that as soon as the season ends, we have to
get you know, two weeks worth of free agents and
to basically rebuild our roster with it. And he's right,
You're right.
Speaker 6 (29:19):
You know, Will Levis, Ray Davis, Devin Larry. A lot
of our stars in recent years have been through the
transfer portal. And I think the offensive lineman they brought
in they really thought they were gonna be but they were.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
But he missed him. They dis missed it. I mean
especially no offense to him, but especially Menzi. I mean,
like Cox got hurt. I don't, I can't. I mean,
he's I can't really blame him. He's had he's hurt
both of his knees, and he was pretty good last year.
He's just he's just blown out his knees. But that
they missed on the kid from Tennessee. And I think
(29:51):
his point was we can't miss anymore.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Yeah, the currncern there is offensive line more than a position.
The portal just doesn't have many Nope. I mean you
can go find a skill player who wants more catches
or more carries, or you can go find a linebacker
like we David Dumas Johnson. He was a great addition.
But there's not just a bunch of linemen sitting around
on the portal. And if you find one, they're gonna
command a lot of money. So even they're gonna have
(30:15):
to shop there, but there might not be helped even find.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
No, that's a really good point. You may not have
that many options, and that's why it's so important to
use their phrase recruit and develop, and they just haven't
done it at that position in recent years. It's interesting
to listen to Stoops talk. I would encourage you to
go listen to his press conference. I can't quite put
my finger on what his tone of voice is. I
(30:40):
thought earlier this year it was kind of resignation, like
like he was just done. In the last couple of weeks,
I haven't felt like it's like that. I do almost
wonder if he's made up his mind yes I'm coming back,
and has like put some resolve. But there is like
an I don't want to say anger, but there is
(31:02):
like a kind of defiance in his voice. And I've
always thought he was kind of at his best when
he had a chip on his shoulder, So maybe that'll
be a positive. But I will say the last four
or five weeks of listening to the Stoops talk, he
has not sounded like the same person he sounded in
the last nine years. The first two or three weeks,
(31:25):
it sounded like a man Ray Leave. I haven't felt
that way in the last couple of weeks, but it
still doesn't really sound like him. Do you know what
I mean?
Speaker 6 (31:33):
I know what you mean. Do you think it's because
you know they lost four games in a row and
he just is this is he built this up to
where they were, you know, winning even ten games in
a season, and they go through a four game louty streak.
It eats at his pride.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
You think I think he's angry. No, I don't think
that's it. I think he thinks he's getting too much criticism.
That's how I read it. I think he thinks I
don't think he thinks they've played well. But I think
he kind of has a view of can y'all not
give me a year? Like, like, why is everybody so
angry at me. I do think that that's the team
the tone I hear from him. Now, I might be wrong,
(32:07):
but that's just kind of how I hear it.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
You know, I hear that too. He's very defensive in
every Collins show or press conference. It's like a bingo card.
We even text about it. In our group text. He says,
I don't want to make a headline. I don't want
to be quoted. It's like he's getting mad at stories
and things that are online, and he says, I don't
pay attention to anything on the internet.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
That's also a lie.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
But even last night, a sentence after saying that he's
he caught himself, he's like, I read that Oregon had
I mean, I didn't read someone sent me a newspaper.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Yeah, I but there. He is not col but there
are col tendencies coming out of his thing. I don't
ever want all media members E excuse me. All coaches
should be banned from saying I don't read her here.
That is a lie. It's a lie. When every single
one of them says it, they all care. And if
(32:54):
they don't care, they have somebody care for him. It's
part of the job. It's part of the job, and
by the way, they should care. But I don't believe
any of that. And you're starting to hear those kind
of lines of well, I don't want to make any headlines. Well,
if you don't read, how do you know that there
are headlines? You know? Like he knows and he should know,
but I don't. There's just like a little defiance that
(33:17):
I it's not like him, and that's what makes me.
These next two weeks I think are gonna be strange.
I was convinced, just so you know, I was convinced
that I thought he was done. I'm now having lots
of people who three or four weeks ago said they
didn't know tell me they now think he's coming back.
But I hope it's with the right attitude, and I
(33:40):
think a lot of it's gonna depend on what happens
these next two weeks. I think, you know, how we
play against Texas and whether we beat Louisville is going
to mean a lot to this fan base, and I
hope it means a lot in how his sort of
mindset is. Because I haven't loved what I've heard the
last few weeks. I'm just gonna be honest.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
I know, I'm with you ahead. Whatever happens, win or lose.
The moment that Louisville game ends, all hell's breaking loose.
Whether he's thinking about leaving, or he's going to the
portal and finding people or finding a staff. That is
gonna be a crazy week of UK football updates. Whether
it's him staying and add new players and new coaches
or him making the other decision.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
The week we're on the road, he's going to be
the most important week in UK football in a long time.
We're gonna find out what's happening with him, We're gonna
find out what's happened with his staff. We may lose
half our roster. It's signing week. Who I mean it
is going to be at That week is gonna be
a circus. While we're on the road, There'll be plenty
(34:37):
to talk up, to share it talk about cheering. Food
with family and friends during the holidays makes the best memories,
that's right, and so food can also make a great gift.
How about some no chelend of farms beef, Ribbi's filet mignon,
ground beef, it's all there, skirt steak, hangar steak, p
kanya pe Kanya pe Kanya. Yes, we talked about that.
(34:59):
It's good.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
It's delicious.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
No Jay lend the Farms, a Kentucky proud partner out
a Bourbon County sells dry aged home raised beef. It
is great now for the holidays. Write this deal, okay ready,
KSR ship free at checkout and you get free shipping
throughout Kentucky. Oh that's nice. It's good because that's heavy.
Yeah right, KSR ship free plus two hundred pounds or
(35:25):
two hundred pounds. That'd be a lot of meat. Free
local delivery of two hundred dollars or more of dry
twenty pounds dry age ground beef. Go to KSR ship
free and do it at no che Linda Farms. We'll
take a break and be right back. It's Kentucky Sports Radio.
Welcome back. Takey Sports Radio here at KS Bar and grill.
(35:48):
We will be here today pregame show at four point thirty.
Come on out if you're on the way of the game.
I have some tickets to give away that people have
given me to redistribute to the fans, so I'll do
that during the pregame show today. Probably sometime. One person writes, Matt,
your DraftKings commercial confuses me. You ask the Lakers are
gonna repeat? They haven't won a title since twenty twenty. Oh, contrere. Yeah,
(36:10):
that's right, contrere. They won the NBA Cup, right, they
like they won the They're going trying to repeat in
the Immirates NBA Cup, which I hope everyone has their
bracket filled out because it continues tonight.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
Put some respect on the Lakers. They were big time
champions last December. That's right, while we were on the
road trip.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
I think that's right, Shannon, and I have a question
for you if you think this is nice or not? Okay,
so you love Full House, right, yeah. Dave cool Yer
unfortunately has has cancer and so prayers to him in
his recovery. So he had to have chemotherapy and he
(36:49):
lost his hair. And you know sometimes people to show solidarity,
when they do that, their friends or their family will
will shave their head too. You've seen that before, right,
So John Stamos decided to do something to sort of
show solidarity and he and he did a video with
(37:11):
his head with a bald head, and everybody was like, wow,
that's nice. John Stamos a very handsome man to do
that for his friend. It turns out he was just
wearing a bald cap. Now is that nice almost the
thought nice? Or is that almost like oddly not nice?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
That's almost mocking him by putting on a bald cap, Like,
if you're going to show solidarity, you do the deed,
you shave your head. Putting on the bald cap is
just to me, making a mockery of it.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Yeah, to me, you either like you don't have to
do it right, you don't have to do it. But
I don't know. I don't think that landed the way
he wanted it to. I think it was almost like
I'm sure he was trying to be nice, but he
doesn't feel like that's nice.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
I agree with Shannon. It almost feels disrespectful. He's like, oh,
I would never actually shave my head. I'm sorry you're
dealing with that. I'm not shaving my head. Yeah, but
I'll put on this costume that looks like you for
a photo.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Let me order this bald cap from Amazon, and.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
Do you just give me a hug?
Speaker 5 (38:22):
Say thinking about you. It's almost unintentionally, but it's almost
like he's mocking it and saying that, well, I don't
want a bald head.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
I think his heart was probably in the right place.
But to that, that act tells me, Look, you're important
to me, Dave. I love you, but you're not as
important as my hair. My hair is more You're You're.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Kind of important. But I do have a look here, now,
I will go to Spirit Halloween for you.
Speaker 5 (38:46):
I feel that bad and get this bald cap.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
He does have awesome hair.
Speaker 6 (38:49):
John Stamos well, of course, and no one's expecting him
to shave his head. But if he did, what a
show of love.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Do that? But I'm kind of like, either don't do
it or do it. But you can't do that because
I think I kind of agree with Shannon. I don't
think it. I don't. I don't think it works. Who's
up next, Tyler, Tyler, go ahead, Tyler. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
The doing what John Damis did is literally like the
one thing you cannot do in a situation.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
I agree. It's like almost the worst thing you could
do in that scenario. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (39:22):
So, hey, I go to Salt Lake City for work
on some of a frequent basis. So you want some Salt
Lake City recommendations.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Well send them to me. Yeah, like, like send them
to me in a message or something.
Speaker 8 (39:30):
Sure, okay, cool, Yeah, I will be with you though
that I can make a case it is the most
beautiful city in America. This is how close the mountains are.
Like people think like Denver's a mountain city, but the
mountains are kind of far from Denver. They're like right there.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
In Salt Lake City. Yeah, no backdrop in America. You're right, sir.
For a major city is better than Salt Lake City. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (39:55):
Hey, going to the first game tonight at rough looking
forward to it, side to see kind of the new area.
Jane areno the Cats and did.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Good to appreciate the call. What do you expect Crawb
wise tonight.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
I think we're still riding high after the the pope
honeymoon and now the win over Duke. I think we'll
have a big crowd in here for pregame on a
Tuesday afternoon, and a big crowd at rup for the
game that I.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Think it's gonna be a great crowd at the game.
I just I think like people are kind of such
energy for that thing. I mean just the amount of
people that have given me tickets at this point, it's
normally like twelve to fifteen. It's four like we got
but I mean, like you can tell there's there's people
when they want to go understandable.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Yeah, I expect a good crowd. I assume people's after
watching that Duke game, decided they'd go after that. I
just want to go see this team in person. But
it's riding so high right now.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
I had a friend h Ryan call me, well, he
texted me, haven't talked to him probably seven or eight years, Like,
didn't check in during Yeah, you know what I mean.
I mean, which is fine, but like not it's special
when not close. Just texted me and said, hey, man,
(41:08):
you think you could get me some Kentucky Arkansas tickets?
I'm glad okay, bold enough, I'll gladly pay face for them.
Oh you think there's Kentucky Arkansas tickets out there for
face value? That just nobody wants that. They're just like
for Arkansas. He didn't say, like, hey, Jackson's Arkansas.
Speaker 5 (41:29):
It's one thing to say I pay whatever. I just
don't have the opportunity to even find them, but to say,
will you find them also, I'll yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
If you'll say, like, if you can find something, I'm
willing to pay whatever. I agree with you but like
this idea. First of all, never ask someone for tickets
if you haven't talked to them in years. I feel
like that's just a rule.
Speaker 5 (41:47):
Not even an Eric happy beata.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
I looked back two of my married Christmas texts not
responded to. When you get a when you get a
second married Christmas text and don't respond, I'm never sending
you another one. And I'm certainly not giving you Arkansas
tickets of all the games too.
Speaker 6 (42:07):
That's kind of your thing. On Christmas, we all get
this really nice text message from you.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
Will you get like a written one like where I
actually talk about Yeah, But most of them, I'm just like,
hey man, I haven't talked to you a while. Merry Christmas.
All you gotta do is say Merry Christmas back nothing.
But if you don't respond and then you ask me
for UK Arkansas tickets, deleted contact. We'll take a break.

tonight against the Lipscomb. What Bisons lip Iison's plural? Is
(00:57):
it plural? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (00:58):
We played the Bison last timing up. Now we have
the Bison.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
But I thought bison was plural just normal.

I thought fun fact. Both are acceptable. Both are exceptions
to be different.

know Bisn's was allowed as a as a turn there was.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
There was a bison joke in the Dad Jokes book
that I was reading that Marsha gave me.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Would you like to hear it?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Yes? Would I like to hear your dad joke about bison? Sure?
Why not?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
What did the buffalo say when he dropped his son off?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Buy something?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Bison?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
There you go? All right, it's a terrible joke.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Joke.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
It's terrible joke, but that's okay. I like terrible jokes. Uh. Well, tonight,
Kentucky and David uh Lips, whom they have played Arkansas
this year already, They have played Western this year already lost.
Both games were competitive. In the Arkansas game for about
thirty minutes and then kind of lost by a lot.
(02:09):
But then we're very competitive. Lost to Western there at
the end drew, So it should be a good, good contest.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Yeah, they've already played a lot of games. They've They
also played Belmont in the Battle of the Boulevard.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Are you very you brought that game up yesterday? Are
you had a big one? Do you know? They're not
good in the second half? They were up ten, blew it.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
They were within four against Arkansas ended up getting blown
out at the end of their other loss, so they
were up at halftime, end up losing. So they're not
a second half team.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
All right, Well, that's good to remember if it's if
it's close in the first half. I watched a little
bit of Arkansas last night. They played the three hundred
and fifty eighth ranked team in Kim Palm Pacific that
was oh to sixteen last year in the conference. It
was a five point game with eight minutes ago, and
then they and then they pulled away.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
So I got a text that it was within two
did they get Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Actually did get a little earlier, but they were within
two point having not that team had not won a
conference game only one one in two years.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Well, the main thing is it's a tournament like atmosphere
with the BBN tournament off the.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Condem It is the BBN Invitational tonight, one of the
historic tournaments in America. We with Western, Jackson State and Lipscomb. Yeah. Yeah,
you can keep your MAU Invitational, you know, you can
keep your Battle of the Atlantis, you can keep all that.
We got the BBN Invitational tonight. You can feel it,
(03:30):
you know, you really can't feel it.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Yeah, driving through town, I saw people going to work
at lofices and people on the corner on.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
The interstate truck. Yeah, there's just an energy in town.
There's just a lot, a lot going on, you know.
I I drove this morning from Louisville, and so on
my drive, you know, that gives you a chance to think. Sure,
I listened to, you know, part of the Bill Simmons podcast.
He's unbearable now, but I still I still listen on
Mondays with cut with cousin Sal And when that was over,
(03:59):
I had some time with and then I realized it's
like twelve days maybe actually more like ten days before
we get in a car and drive to UH to Seattle.
I mean it is. It's it's right here among us.
You know. I put on Twitter that the various stops
I think we're gonna make, although you know, depending on
(04:20):
a couple of things, a couple might change, but but
likely to stay the night in Iowa City, Iowa. So
do our show that Monday in Iowa City for all
the people that are Iowa City folks. Then Burk or
no Logan South Dakota, Logan South Dakota, a Burke, South Dakota.
It's one of those two times of the Dakota's. I
(04:40):
don't know which one it is, but it's one of them.
That's where my friend has his ranch, okay, which he
says he's invited us to. But also he doesn't communicate
a ton. I wonder if he's like realizing, maybe I
don't want these people at my ranch, but we're gonna
be in that town either way. Okay, you're really doing it.
He's like, oh that well, I mean it's a guy
I know like some he's in my he's in my Yeah,
(05:00):
he's a really interesting guy. He was like, uh he
ran for I think lieutenant governor of South Dakota. He
was a he was a rodeo guy, and it was
like a big time rodeo. He traveled around and did
the the you know, still make Chyenne rodeo and then
he got hurt and he ended up getting like paralyzed
on the waist down. So now he's in a wheelchair. Uh,
but he's still a leader in South Dakota, and like
(05:24):
he's a really really nice guy. And he said, you know,
I want you and your you to come to the
ranch and bring your show one day. And he said
it like offhand, you know, it's one of the things
you say when you live in a ranch in South Dakota,
like you should bring your your your show there. And
then I was like, you know what, we might actually
be going through South Dakota this year. And he's like, oh, yeah,
(05:46):
well how many of them there are? Yeah, oh, ok
so it's two weeks from now. Okay, but no, he said,
I talked to him yesterday. He's still he's still excited
to have it. So we're gonna go there and then
either laerm Mee or Shy in Wyoming, then Salt Lake.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
City never been. Marian and I were talking about that
for the Boise Back.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Boy Eugene, Oregon and then Seattle because we don't play
on that Saturday night until ten o'clock. So because we
play so late, I was like, we should just use
that extra day that Friday and go to Oregon. So
we're gonna be uh in Eugene, and that will then
cross off my fifty states. And I can say, like,
(06:31):
Johnny Cash, I've been everywhere.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
I know you You've addressed this, but people keep sending
me messages. Will there be some sort of pregame show
that people can come to that are out there for
the game?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I hope. So, I mean I haven't started locking down places,
but I would assume we'll pick a place in Seattle.
Games at tens, so it would be seven thirty Eastern,
four thirty Pacific. We'll probably find a place somewhere in
Seattle close to the arena arena to do it.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
I have a friend there, Jeff, who's offered to ask around, help.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Out somewhere close to the arena.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
You're a friend with the ranch. Does he know he's
up against another ranch on this trip because we're passing several.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
We're gonna pass pizza ranch. We're definitely gonna eat it
a pizza ranch. The Buffet South We love that, didn't we.
That's the kind of the Upper Midwest place.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, it's like the best pizza chain on the planet.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It's like if you want pizza uh and ranch, which,
by the way, I don't understand why more people don't
do that. I mean, does anyone dislike dipping your pizza
into ran but like it? It's awful for you. But
if you're just talking sheer taste, you.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Know, we did it. We're up in Green Bay. We
ate it one and my friend's like, all these great
restaurants up here, and you guys are gonna go eat
it a pizza ranch.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yes, it was excellent, and I think that was the
right choice. So all of those places, I don't know
if you all know things to do. I mean we've
we've been to Boise, But if you have recommendations for
Iowa City, uh, Burke, Laramie, or Salt Lake City or Eugene,
Organ we'll take him in. Then anything along the way.
We're gonna be driving through an Indian reservation. Right, there's
(08:04):
gonna be which I which I've never been to. There's
a lot of gonna be a lot of boring space.
But you know what, that's what that part of the
country is. So that's what we gotta do.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
That's when we get to talk and get to know
each other a little bit.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
But we don't talk for people who don't for people
who don't know how this trip goes. This is exactly
what happens. Can I tell you exactly? I mean, you
know I'm right about Okay, here are the car rides.
We get in for like twenty minutes. We talked to
each other, right like, we're very excited and we're like, hey,
you know we're going to river. Then Shannon is the
(08:36):
first one to check out. Shannon pulls out his iPad
watch the movie, and he no, you don't watch a movie.
You watch fifteen movies in a row, phones on and
has zero interest in communicating with us at all.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I don't want to distract the driver.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
If you just you have to distract you to distract me.
You know. It's just Shannon is in his own world
right right, Like he's not gonna talk to anyone until
the car stopped.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
No, but he's first one out. He's first want to
tap out, put your headphones in, starts act.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Like you wouldn't be too lemon if it were. If
you didn't have to be up there in those.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Drew is kind of in the middle. Drew reads some,
Drew watches movie some, but then he talks some. Drew's
kind of a middle communicator. Ryan usually sits up front.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Because he has to not about Joys.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I have to be there to when you want to
talk about Trump.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Or I'm done with that. I take it. I don't know.
I'm a week tell him about the captain. I'm a
week into it, and and I could get upset, but
you know what, I'm like, whatever, what's gonna happen? You
know it's fine. Let's just take more crazy people then.
And then now we have Mario to add. Yeah, so
we don't know what Mario. I think Mario's gonna be
(09:45):
talking a lot. Your job, Mario is to keep Shannon involved,
all right, Shannon is not involved. Don't He's saying, don't bother.
He wants you to bother. Don't want to talk to
him and get to know him a little bit.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
On the trip, we did discuss with Mario and Shannon
the sleeping arrangements because they were kind of don't neither
one wants to sleep with me. Who gets stuck with me?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Mario gets you. Shannon and Drew have paid their dues.
You get to stay with it. You get to stay
with Ryan. Now. He does snore a lot, and he.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Had Hopkinsville together.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
He snores a lot, and then he walks into the
bathroom and within moments makes it his own. And I'll
just let you realize that yourself, like within within moments.
So that's but it's a right of passage, Drew. Everybody's
done it. I did it first. Then you've done it, Drew,
and it's done it. So now it's Mario's time to
(10:39):
stay with it. Stay with you.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I've had many knights with Ryan Lemon. He's a great
roommate until lights out time. Then it feels like you're
sleeping in a construction site. He's just such a good
guy that you get through it.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Yeah, I think it's a good idea. Here's what you
gotta do. Go look around town and see if you
can find a place where they're using that machine in
the ground that goes and just lay next to it
and try to go to sleep in the after.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
But it at least has a little cadence. You can
fall over his He doesn't have a pattern. He's all
over the place.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
The thing is, Shannon and I have got it down
pat though, We've got a little routine.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Shannon gets Shannon Shandon, you'd rather stay with Drew, right,
So yeah, yeah, So Shannon gets to move don't don't
speak for him. Shannon gets to move on. He's graduating
to the next thing. And uh, congratulations, Mario, you get
to spend time with this lovely young man.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
And he says he stays up late. He stays up
to like two in the morning every night, so he's
gonna have to hear me.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Well, you know, usually Drew and Shannon are the night owls.
It's like usually you're the first one to go.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
To bed, first one tap out, then me and then.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I don't know when everybody else goes because because they
stay out. So that's that that all doing, Drew and
Shannon things doing, true and Shannon, it's only two the
only time you all talk to each other all year.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
And I'm gonna bring by a super Nintendo this year,
so it.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Should be a lot of fun.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
That One more question is Max going, Uh he.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Might go if Lexington Christian loses before the fire, see.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Gonna we gotta strap into the top.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
We have two rows yeah, we have Third Road ceating.
You know, Mario was our hookup, used to work at Enterprise.
Huh able tok. Mario got us the biggest already pulling
his weight, already pulling his weight, so should be a
lot of fun. The first show will be Monday in
Iowa City. So if you know someone in Iowa City
(12:23):
who would like to host, uh, that's gonna be our
our first show.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
It's been a couple of months and we've been to Iowa.
So we were in Iowa.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
We've been. I've never been to Iowa City.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
We popped in there on because that's how I learned
Iowa was there. We did we did a drive by.
We did do a drive by.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yes, we stayed.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
We had a little downtown with market lights.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
We stayed in Ames. We all stayed in Aimes on
one of our trips, and then we've stayed in the
morning a couple.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Of guy cities where mister Spectacular is from. We could
just shock up with him.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Oh that's right, mister Spectacular lives in Iowa City. There
we go, Shanon, you got we got we gotta get
him to come by.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Right right, Yeah, yeah, Staya's house.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Mister Spectacular lives in Ahwa City. So anyway, so that's
that's our schedule and I'm looking forward to to getting
on the road Kentucky and Lipscomb tonight. Is it seven?
Any reason? Drew you? You you think this game will
be closer than the other games like this have been.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Well, Matt, they played Belmont and I'm just kidding. They
have a very good player, like very very very good,
probably gonna be the player of the year in that conference.
He's already scored like thirty and twenty. He's six '
eight steps out shoots the three, so kind of like
Cooper Flag. I was actually gonna say they're a little
Cooper Flag ish. They have another All Conference player on
the wing. Kind of can be the the canipple there.
(13:39):
But otherwise, no, it shouldn't be an issue. Just don't
let one of those guys go crazy. You should be fine.
They shoot a lot of threes. We like that, but
I think they'll struggle with Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
You keep playing teams like that, you know, we mean,
we keep playing these teams that playoffs.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Agnavik, I'm not real great at the Asociation. Yes, he
missed all of last year after a great sophomore year
who's injured enter by wondering will he come back be good?
He's scored thirty right away, so he's he's tough.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
So Jacob Agna Civic is our guy to watch. A
good test for Andrew Carr and Jackson Robinson who who
and and even Brea took a little bit of the
defense against flag against Duke Ye.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Breya is not what Brea. It's not the greatest defender.
But he did okay on Cooper flag the other night.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
They didn't do very good. I mean they they they,
I mean they were abusing him.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Yeah. Well, like I said, he's not the greatest defender.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Neither is Car. Those two guys, No, they weren't. I
thought Car did better in the second half. Yeah, Brea,
they were picking him out every time. But Bray. But
Bray hit a huge shot, I mean and got a
huge rebound down the stretch.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
He was active with his hands, was trying to rebound.
He and Car both just lacked a little bit of
that lateral quickness.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Yeah, they just don't have a quickness for him. But
they got to spin. They're trying to spin, and we
were able to do it. If I'm nine two eight
oh twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven
two seven four five two five four are gonna take
a break, be right back, talk a little bit more
about the game. This is KSR. Welcome back. It is
(15:08):
Kentucky Sports Radio. I mean tell you driving out there,
Gonzaga is good. I watched him last night. I watched
them play the first half against San Diego State. They're good,
like I I don't know, you know, there were people
who said we're gonna take a step back. They're not.
They're good. They're their point guard can play, they get up.
I mean, they completely controlled San Diego State on their
home court last night. That's gonna be a tough game
(15:32):
that'll be. I'm not saying they're better than Duke or
worse than Duke. They're probably similar, but it's gonna be
a Duke level game. Aim. We're playing out there, So
that's gonna be a tough, tough test.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Yeah, I'm a fully expecting that one to be probably
the toughest non conference game that they'll play. They think
they are better than Duke.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Yeah, they're the big guy. They came in here and
when they won RUP last year. They still have nim
Hard's and Hickman's and the many battle transfer hard.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It's a team allowed to have.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
I feel like Nolan hick and we were recruiting him, recruited.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Him, Nolan Hickman here and decommitted. Yeah, I mean it's
it's been forever. One person writes, Matt, my husband graduated
from Iowa. Uh. There are must places to go, including
George's Buffet, and you know I like a good buffet,
especially with just a name Gabes. That's where Shannon will
like it's his kind of place. I don't know what
(16:25):
that means. And then Mickey's Irish Pub. Those are the
three places. So it sounds like three three possibilities. In Iowa,
we always have fun. And alway, do you know anybody
went to the Iowa Wrestling thing? How did that go
with Bellerman Shannon, that's your alma mater. Did they beat him?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I have not heard anything.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I would say no, yeah, probably not probably, you know
maybe so. By the way, we're ranked in the top ten, yeah,
number nine, number nine felt like uh. I think it
was the highest rise for a Kentucky team in a
rating in like ten years or something like a huge jump.
Nice to have a top ten team after there were
people earlier this year Didny Marncus in the preseason rankings
(17:05):
and now up to number nine.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yeah, very exciting. Kind of mentioned before the season how
this will be different. We won't start at the top
and fall. I even mentioned I'm kind of excited to
be nineteenth and kind of climb our way up. Didn't
expect a ten spots swing this early in the gates,
but that's what happens when you beat Dukes. Very exciting
to see Pope already up there in the top ten.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Great rise up the rankings ahead of Duke. You know,
now you got to verify the two games this week.
Shouldn't be too difficult. But you know, like the women's
team played last night and was down most of the
game after their big win. They ended up kind of
passing them and pulling away towards the end. But I
watched it. They came out slow, They were down eight
(17:47):
or ten the whole game. Is there any worry that
you think something like that could happen with the men's team.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
I think you know the fact that the women played
them just two days after they played that the big
emotional game against Louisville. It's been a week since this
Kentucky team has played, So I think that probably plays
into it. They're probably itching to get back out there
and play.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Well. Yeah, I kind I mean, it feels like it
feels like that Duke gave was a long time ago.
That does you know? I want to I'd like to
see us go ahead and get out there and go Uh.
The game tonight is on the computer. We will have
it here uh here at the at the bar. It's
the same thing like all of them. If you have
the SEC network, you will be able to get it.
But it is on the computer. And Travis Ford is
(18:25):
on the call. Yes, you know that, Like I didn't.
I've never heard him.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Do a game, have you No? And I heard him
mention in like a radio interview he's gonna call some
games this year. I didn't know if he's been in
Saint Louis, Kentucky where he'd be, but yeah, he's popping up.
I'm very excited to hear from the guy from Madisonville.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Yeah, it's been uh he ever done a basketball game
before that?
Speaker 6 (18:47):
You know, I don't think so, because he's been coaching
the whole time, you know, so they you know he
did Cameron Mills did one game. Robbie Moss did a game.
Nowobbie's doing a game.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
So they tried people out. I wonder if.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
They're yeah, or they're bringing in different players to sit
in that chair when they have a computer game.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah, well you know I I I think we talked
about I called a game with Robbie. By the way,
speaking of calling games, I practiced on a game this
weekend and you took a random ESPN Plus game that
was on replay, just picked it out. Uh, And I
(19:23):
practiced for like a quarter, just just the rhythms of
the play. But I hadn't done any research on anybody,
just the rhythms of trying to call. I would make
up people's last names because I didn't know all of them,
but I just made up the names. But I tried.
It's it's you know, it's hard because you don't know
how much to say. But it's actually easier, I think
in football than maybe in basketball and other sports, because
(19:45):
you know, you just the quarterback drops back and you know,
throws it to somebody or whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
About pre snap? Are you calling out the.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Formation and the movements and all that. I didn't say
that they were in you know, uh, cover two or
or or trips. I mean I didn't do any of that.
I tried to. I tried to just kind of ad
Myron handle it. Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna be more
basic when it comes to that stuff. I'm trying to
paint a picture more broadly in the in the listener's minds.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I think football is better because you know, you call
the play than the kind of the color guy can
break it down while you're thinking about, okay, what I'm
getting ready to set up the next player or something.
So football there is more time to kind of bounce
off each other like that.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
You're also just making up their names.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Well, I did was a game. No, you were a bench,
you were on the bitch. You were the backup quarterback.
No I did. I would. I'd say, like, you know,
Franklin drops back, looks over the middle. Oh, there's Jefferson
running round like I put my friends in there. But yes,
you were the backup.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Sounds like I was dialed in.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
You were quarterback for one of the two. I'm not
gonna say which too it was because I'm still working
on the game, but it was. It was. It was
a big Sky game, so it was that where going. Yeah,
it was out that way.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Could you're taking it seriously not procrastinating getting your practice
in early?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah, of course I do all this, and I sure
then they won't have me do it, but but just
in case, gotta be ready to go for my bowl assignment.
Who's up first?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Shit, Brian?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Brian? Go ahead, Brian A five nine eighty seven.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Well, you know you're gonna do great when you're making
statements like how many Nimrods do you need? That was
a classic while ago I did.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Did I say that nim nim brands?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Yeah, nim brands, that was a yeah, that was a
different thing. That's the name of the guy on the team. Yes,
but go ahead.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
I mean it might not be Tom Hart level, but
it's gonna be great for those of us to get
to listen to you to do it.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
So I actually got to I got a call back
on what's Mario going to do as far as the
periscope for us getting some video to see the road.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Mario will be taking video the whole trip. That's that's
explicitly why he's going. So I think you'll you'll get
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Looking forward to it. And then My last thing and
I'll jump off, is how long is it going to be?
What's the over under for Drew getting wet?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
That's right? Are you gonna Are you gonna urinate all
over the seat again like you did last time?
Speaker 5 (22:07):
I might have to get that checked out because that
was not fun on the last trip, just being wet
the whole time. I might need to see if my
doctor can get me in before Thanksgiving. You might want
to try to get for people that listen, that was
a big mystery. That's I began to actually wonder if
it was coming from me.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
But if you don't remember, he ended up sitting in
a bowl of water the entire trip and we never
figured out why.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Every morning we'd go to the car and that seat
would be soaked.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Just tagger it out.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Yeah, which you know, I'm wearing sweats because it's a
road trip. The whole time they're getting soaked. So yeahe Mario,
look what you have to look forward to. You're gonna
be excited about it. Brock vandergriff is the quarterback this week.
According to Mark Stoops, he will be the starter, says
Brock has earned his starting spot. His I think his
exact comment was, why would I switch it?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
We'll talk about if you like that. Plus he had
some very interesting comments about how he's approaching the off
season and where he might screwed up in the past.
We'll do that right after this. Kazar TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
He'll make them pay.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Welcome back to Kentucky Sports Radio. If I'm nine two
eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven
two seven seven four five two five four what presson rights? Matt,
I'm so tired of Kentucky basketball not being on TV
in the state of Kentucky. What are we doing? The future? Unfortunately? Yeah,
I mean the future is there are nine hundred different
platforms and you're gonna have to like, like I saw
(23:36):
the new Big twelve contract which begins next year, they
will have games on like six different platforms. They will
have games on ESPN and its platforms, Fox and its platforms, UH,
CBS and its platforms, T and T, Amazon, and Apple TV,
(23:59):
which on one hand and gives you a lot of exposure,
but on the other hand means you'll never really know
where a game is at any given point. Indiana was
playing the other night in basketball, and it was getting
somebody good, maybe like South Carolina or something like that,
and it was on like Peacock. And it would have
never even occurred to me to look to Peacock for
(24:19):
that game, like I would have. I mean, you might
as well have just told me it was on like
a radio station in Dubuque. I just would have never.
I would have never even thought to look there. I
think that's kind of what's what's happening now. For the
sec all of our stuff is on ESPN, But the
reality is they're trying to make it drew to where
everyone has to get ESPN. Plus, I think you're gonna
(24:41):
see five to seven starting next year, probably five to
seven college basketball games of Kentucky's just on the computer.
I think we're gonna get to a point that every
time we play a stinky team, it's only on the computer,
and that's just gonna be what it is.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Yeah, I believe Friday, we have one more after this.
I think that's the last one. We had five early
on in counting some of the exhibitions. Yeah, after Friday,
after Friday.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
It's not going anywhere.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
I mean, the next year will probably add a few more.
The NFL, they're so scattered this year, someone did the math.
It would cost like thirteen hundred dollars to watch every NFL.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Game, Which is why I know what we're headed to.
I've been saying this forever. We're gonna just get back
to cable. It's just gonna be like there'll be some
company that bundles all the streaming packages and you just
pay for that, and then you end up like the
same thing as cable. It just goes over the Internet
and is less reliable because the Internet goes out all
the time. Like that's where that's where we're headed. But
(25:35):
until then, like it just is what it is. The
other thing is, if you're under if you're Mario's age,
do you have cable sling? But again not cable, so
like like they don't even know what that is, Like
he's like sling they I mean.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Have you ever had a twist the thing in accord?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
And yeah, I mean like but they don't even like
people that age don't even look at television like we do.
All right, Like that's why part of why I continue
to make the joke about watching it on the computer
is people thirty and under, that's just what entertainment is.
It's not they don't even I don't even think they
think of TV like we do, Ryan, And that's just
the way it's gonna be.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
When do they start doing it, maybe for SEC football
that's what drives or you know, that's we.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Already have them. I mean we already have games on
there were the game Commert State game was on the computer.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
SEC games when we play other SEC teams, like.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
They won't do that because they because I mean, there's
still value to them on I mean, they still have
a ESPN channel and they still have an ABC channel,
and the SEC football games are the most valuable property
that they have. But the other games, especially basketball, you're
just I think you're gonna see more and more of
them as we go.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
I think before children like Mario are allowed to sign
into these apps, they should have to have one night
where they have to wait for the TV guide channel
to scroll to the channel they want. They cannot look
away and miss it, and they have to wait another
two minutes and then have to wait that thirty minutes
forty five minutes until your show actually comes on with commercials.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Yeah, or I mean to go even to mine and
Ryan's age, get a TV got oh yeah, yeah, get
an actual piece of paper to see what's gonna be
on there. But I would just say, you know, the
days of expecting you to be able to turn your
television on and see every game, they're just they're gone,
and I don't think they're I don't think they're coming back,
(27:26):
all right. So Stoop said, Brox quarterback, You good with it.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
I think he gives you the best chance to win.
You gotta go with the guy that thinks gives you
the best chance.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
To win in right now.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
But what we've seen, even though he hasn't had the
greatest season, he's our best chance to beat to the
Texas and Louisville. So yeah, I want him to be
my quarterback.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
Yeah, I'd voted for Bowlie, but I'm all right with it.
He actually said one thing that made me feel a
little better. I thought he just really underthrew Gilmour on
that first ball that ended up being a touchdown. But
Gilmore ran the wrong route, he ran a go route,
So that made I guess that excuses Vandergriffs.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Throw a little bit it okay.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I thought his shoulder was something that just messed up
and he couldn't complete that throw, but it was a miscommunication.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I was wondering if he got if it got tipped
or something. It was so bad, so if it was.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
If it was, it made me feel a little better
about that because I was wondering just how healthy he is.
But no, I mean, Brock went into Old miss and
one had that beautiful ball to barry On that won
that game. So I'm hoping he can channel a little
more magic in Austin.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Now. Stoop's also said I think he I think Mark
thinks he's making a point when he does this, but
like I think he says it like he says it
on purpose hoping people like realize it, but I think
he doesn't realize, Like it's just what it is. He
likes to call it free agency, but I think he
does it kind of with scorn in his in his voice.
(28:42):
But it is free agency, Mark, like that's just what
it is. And he said we have to go into
free agency this year, and he acknowledged we have to
make better picks. He basically acknowledged they've screwed up on
some of the picks. Now what's interesting is I actually
think they've done a pretty good job at quote unquote
free agency. I mean, the biggest ones they've brought in
(29:03):
have all been pretty successful. But he he basically said
that as soon as the season ends, we have to
get you know, two weeks worth of free agents and
to basically rebuild our roster with it. And he's right,
You're right.
Speaker 6 (29:19):
You know, Will Levis, Ray Davis, Devin Larry. A lot
of our stars in recent years have been through the
transfer portal. And I think the offensive lineman they brought
in they really thought they were gonna be but they were.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
But he missed him. They dis missed it. I mean
especially no offense to him, but especially Menzi. I mean,
like Cox got hurt. I don't, I can't. I mean,
he's I can't really blame him. He's had he's hurt
both of his knees, and he was pretty good last year.
He's just he's just blown out his knees. But that
they missed on the kid from Tennessee. And I think
(29:51):
his point was we can't miss anymore.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Yeah, the currncern there is offensive line more than a position.
The portal just doesn't have many Nope. I mean you
can go find a skill player who wants more catches
or more carries, or you can go find a linebacker
like we David Dumas Johnson. He was a great addition.
But there's not just a bunch of linemen sitting around
on the portal. And if you find one, they're gonna
command a lot of money. So even they're gonna have
(30:15):
to shop there, but there might not be helped even find.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
No, that's a really good point. You may not have
that many options, and that's why it's so important to
use their phrase recruit and develop, and they just haven't
done it at that position in recent years. It's interesting
to listen to Stoops talk. I would encourage you to
go listen to his press conference. I can't quite put
my finger on what his tone of voice is. I
(30:40):
thought earlier this year it was kind of resignation, like
like he was just done. In the last couple of weeks,
I haven't felt like it's like that. I do almost
wonder if he's made up his mind yes I'm coming back,
and has like put some resolve. But there is like
an I don't want to say anger, but there is
(31:02):
like a kind of defiance in his voice. And I've
always thought he was kind of at his best when
he had a chip on his shoulder, So maybe that'll
be a positive. But I will say the last four
or five weeks of listening to the Stoops talk, he
has not sounded like the same person he sounded in
the last nine years. The first two or three weeks,
(31:25):
it sounded like a man Ray Leave. I haven't felt
that way in the last couple of weeks, but it
still doesn't really sound like him. Do you know what
I mean?
Speaker 6 (31:33):
I know what you mean. Do you think it's because
you know they lost four games in a row and
he just is this is he built this up to
where they were, you know, winning even ten games in
a season, and they go through a four game louty streak.
It eats at his pride.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
You think I think he's angry. No, I don't think
that's it. I think he thinks he's getting too much criticism.
That's how I read it. I think he thinks I
don't think he thinks they've played well. But I think
he kind of has a view of can y'all not
give me a year? Like, like, why is everybody so
angry at me. I do think that that's the team
the tone I hear from him. Now, I might be wrong,
(32:07):
but that's just kind of how I hear it.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
You know, I hear that too. He's very defensive in
every Collins show or press conference. It's like a bingo card.
We even text about it. In our group text. He says,
I don't want to make a headline. I don't want
to be quoted. It's like he's getting mad at stories
and things that are online, and he says, I don't
pay attention to anything on the internet.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
That's also a lie.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
But even last night, a sentence after saying that he's
he caught himself, he's like, I read that Oregon had
I mean, I didn't read someone sent me a newspaper.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Yeah, I but there. He is not col but there
are col tendencies coming out of his thing. I don't
ever want all media members E excuse me. All coaches
should be banned from saying I don't read her here.
That is a lie. It's a lie. When every single
one of them says it, they all care. And if
(32:54):
they don't care, they have somebody care for him. It's
part of the job. It's part of the job, and
by the way, they should care. But I don't believe
any of that. And you're starting to hear those kind
of lines of well, I don't want to make any headlines. Well,
if you don't read, how do you know that there
are headlines? You know? Like he knows and he should know,
but I don't. There's just like a little defiance that
(33:17):
I it's not like him, and that's what makes me.
These next two weeks I think are gonna be strange.
I was convinced, just so you know, I was convinced
that I thought he was done. I'm now having lots
of people who three or four weeks ago said they
didn't know tell me they now think he's coming back.
But I hope it's with the right attitude, and I
(33:40):
think a lot of it's gonna depend on what happens
these next two weeks. I think, you know, how we
play against Texas and whether we beat Louisville is going
to mean a lot to this fan base, and I
hope it means a lot in how his sort of
mindset is. Because I haven't loved what I've heard the
last few weeks. I'm just gonna be honest.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
I know, I'm with you ahead. Whatever happens, win or lose.
The moment that Louisville game ends, all hell's breaking loose.
Whether he's thinking about leaving, or he's going to the
portal and finding people or finding a staff. That is
gonna be a crazy week of UK football updates. Whether
it's him staying and add new players and new coaches
or him making the other decision.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
The week we're on the road, he's going to be
the most important week in UK football in a long time.
We're gonna find out what's happening with him, We're gonna
find out what's happened with his staff. We may lose
half our roster. It's signing week. Who I mean it
is going to be at That week is gonna be
a circus. While we're on the road, There'll be plenty
(34:37):
to talk up, to share it talk about cheering. Food
with family and friends during the holidays makes the best memories,
that's right, and so food can also make a great gift.
How about some no chelend of farms beef, Ribbi's filet mignon,
ground beef, it's all there, skirt steak, hangar steak, p
kanya pe Kanya pe Kanya. Yes, we talked about that.
(34:59):
It's good.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
It's delicious.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
No Jay lend the Farms, a Kentucky proud partner out
a Bourbon County sells dry aged home raised beef. It
is great now for the holidays. Write this deal, okay ready,
KSR ship free at checkout and you get free shipping
throughout Kentucky. Oh that's nice. It's good because that's heavy.
Yeah right, KSR ship free plus two hundred pounds or
(35:25):
two hundred pounds. That'd be a lot of meat. Free
local delivery of two hundred dollars or more of dry
twenty pounds dry age ground beef. Go to KSR ship
free and do it at no che Linda Farms. We'll
take a break and be right back. It's Kentucky Sports Radio.
Welcome back. Takey Sports Radio here at KS Bar and grill.
(35:48):
We will be here today pregame show at four point thirty.
Come on out if you're on the way of the game.
I have some tickets to give away that people have
given me to redistribute to the fans, so I'll do
that during the pregame show today. Probably sometime. One person writes, Matt,
your DraftKings commercial confuses me. You ask the Lakers are
gonna repeat? They haven't won a title since twenty twenty. Oh, contrere. Yeah,
(36:10):
that's right, contrere. They won the NBA Cup, right, they
like they won the They're going trying to repeat in
the Immirates NBA Cup, which I hope everyone has their
bracket filled out because it continues tonight.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
Put some respect on the Lakers. They were big time
champions last December. That's right, while we were on the
road trip.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
I think that's right, Shannon, and I have a question
for you if you think this is nice or not? Okay,
so you love Full House, right, yeah. Dave cool Yer
unfortunately has has cancer and so prayers to him in
his recovery. So he had to have chemotherapy and he
(36:49):
lost his hair. And you know sometimes people to show solidarity,
when they do that, their friends or their family will
will shave their head too. You've seen that before, right,
So John Stamos decided to do something to sort of
show solidarity and he and he did a video with
(37:11):
his head with a bald head, and everybody was like, wow,
that's nice. John Stamos a very handsome man to do
that for his friend. It turns out he was just
wearing a bald cap. Now is that nice almost the
thought nice? Or is that almost like oddly not nice?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
That's almost mocking him by putting on a bald cap, Like,
if you're going to show solidarity, you do the deed,
you shave your head. Putting on the bald cap is
just to me, making a mockery of it.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Yeah, to me, you either like you don't have to
do it right, you don't have to do it. But
I don't know. I don't think that landed the way
he wanted it to. I think it was almost like
I'm sure he was trying to be nice, but he
doesn't feel like that's nice.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
I agree with Shannon. It almost feels disrespectful. He's like, oh,
I would never actually shave my head. I'm sorry you're
dealing with that. I'm not shaving my head. Yeah, but
I'll put on this costume that looks like you for
a photo.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Let me order this bald cap from Amazon, and.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
Do you just give me a hug?
Speaker 5 (38:22):
Say thinking about you. It's almost unintentionally, but it's almost
like he's mocking it and saying that, well, I don't
want a bald head.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
I think his heart was probably in the right place.
But to that, that act tells me, Look, you're important
to me, Dave. I love you, but you're not as
important as my hair. My hair is more You're You're.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Kind of important. But I do have a look here, now,
I will go to Spirit Halloween for you.
Speaker 5 (38:46):
I feel that bad and get this bald cap.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
He does have awesome hair.
Speaker 6 (38:49):
John Stamos well, of course, and no one's expecting him
to shave his head. But if he did, what a
show of love.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
Do that? But I'm kind of like, either don't do
it or do it. But you can't do that because
I think I kind of agree with Shannon. I don't
think it. I don't. I don't think it works. Who's
up next, Tyler, Tyler, go ahead, Tyler. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
The doing what John Damis did is literally like the
one thing you cannot do in a situation.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
I agree. It's like almost the worst thing you could
do in that scenario. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (39:22):
So, hey, I go to Salt Lake City for work
on some of a frequent basis. So you want some Salt
Lake City recommendations.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Well send them to me. Yeah, like, like send them
to me in a message or something.
Speaker 8 (39:30):
Sure, okay, cool, Yeah, I will be with you though
that I can make a case it is the most
beautiful city in America. This is how close the mountains are.
Like people think like Denver's a mountain city, but the
mountains are kind of far from Denver. They're like right there.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
In Salt Lake City. Yeah, no backdrop in America. You're right, sir.
For a major city is better than Salt Lake City. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (39:55):
Hey, going to the first game tonight at rough looking
forward to it, side to see kind of the new area.
Jane areno the Cats and did.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Good to appreciate the call. What do you expect Crawb
wise tonight.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
I think we're still riding high after the the pope
honeymoon and now the win over Duke. I think we'll
have a big crowd in here for pregame on a
Tuesday afternoon, and a big crowd at rup for the
game that I.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Think it's gonna be a great crowd at the game.
I just I think like people are kind of such
energy for that thing. I mean just the amount of
people that have given me tickets at this point, it's
normally like twelve to fifteen. It's four like we got
but I mean, like you can tell there's there's people
when they want to go understandable.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Yeah, I expect a good crowd. I assume people's after
watching that Duke game, decided they'd go after that. I
just want to go see this team in person. But
it's riding so high right now.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
I had a friend h Ryan call me, well, he
texted me, haven't talked to him probably seven or eight years, Like,
didn't check in during Yeah, you know what I mean.
I mean, which is fine, but like not it's special
when not close. Just texted me and said, hey, man,
(41:08):
you think you could get me some Kentucky Arkansas tickets?
I'm glad okay, bold enough, I'll gladly pay face for them.
Oh you think there's Kentucky Arkansas tickets out there for
face value? That just nobody wants that. They're just like
for Arkansas. He didn't say, like, hey, Jackson's Arkansas.
Speaker 5 (41:29):
It's one thing to say I pay whatever. I just
don't have the opportunity to even find them, but to say,
will you find them also, I'll yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
If you'll say, like, if you can find something, I'm
willing to pay whatever. I agree with you but like
this idea. First of all, never ask someone for tickets
if you haven't talked to them in years. I feel
like that's just a rule.
Speaker 5 (41:47):
Not even an Eric happy beata.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
I looked back two of my married Christmas texts not
responded to. When you get a when you get a
second married Christmas text and don't respond, I'm never sending
you another one. And I'm certainly not giving you Arkansas
tickets of all the games too.
Speaker 6 (42:07):
That's kind of your thing. On Christmas, we all get
this really nice text message from you.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
Will you get like a written one like where I
actually talk about Yeah, But most of them, I'm just like,
hey man, I haven't talked to you a while. Merry Christmas.
All you gotta do is say Merry Christmas back nothing.
But if you don't respond and then you ask me
for UK Arkansas tickets, deleted contact. We'll take a break.
Be right back to Kentucky Sports Radio.
