Speaker 5: We just have a guy sitting over here I just
Speaker 5: met a little Whilego's name Stanley, but people call him
Speaker 5: soul Train.
Speaker 2: Soul Train.
Speaker 5: I wish I had a nickname like Soultrae like I did.
Speaker 5: That's a good nickname to have and be like, hey,
Speaker 5: they're soul trained.
Speaker 2: You know you're cool if your name's SoulTrain.
Speaker 5: Nobody calls me soultrade. They just are like, hey, Matt Jones. Uh,
Speaker 5: that's it. But so now that would give you some
Speaker 5: respect right there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2: We can start with that. You know, you know, didn't
Speaker 2: like mj.
Speaker 5: I don't need to be sole Training. That's his name. Okay,
Speaker 5: I think that would be a weird nickname to give me.
Speaker 2: But I'm about coal train.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 5: I need you to stop and we just I'm just
Speaker 5: praising Stanley and his uh and his nickname.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 5: So we before we get the phones, we have a
Speaker 5: we have a good high school sports controversy.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right.
Speaker 5: So Cooper High School that's up in Northern Kentucky, it
Speaker 5: is they made the Sweet sixteen? Was it last year?
Speaker 5: It's been recent yeah, okay. They are one of the
Speaker 5: favorites to go this year. They're twelve and zero in
Speaker 5: the region. Okay, okay, so they are one of the
Speaker 5: favorites Cooper High School. And you're thinking, man, things are
Speaker 5: going well there at Cooper High School. You got a
Speaker 5: chance to win the region. Everybody's excited Northern Kentucky. Stand up,
Speaker 5: here comes Cooper High.
Speaker 6: Here we go.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, though, there's drama under the surface. The coach's wife.
Speaker 5: So I think the coach's name is Tim Sullivan, not
Speaker 5: the former career journal writer. But it differ at Tim Sullivan,
Speaker 5: the coach's wife post his posts on Facebook now and
Speaker 5: this is what I'm gonna summarize it now that it's
Speaker 5: out there. Here's what's going on with Tim and Cooper
Speaker 5: High School. On January twenty first, this season, Tim was
Speaker 5: requested a meeting with the ad.
Speaker 6: First of all, that's my mom's birthday.
Speaker 5: You shouldn't be doing controversial things like this, sure mom's
Speaker 5: birth Uh, Tim is the athletic. The principal informed him
Speaker 5: that the completion of this season, Tim would either have
Speaker 5: the choice to resign or not be renewed as the
Speaker 5: basketball coach at Cooper High School, citing he didn't have
Speaker 5: a sense of urgency to improve the culture of the program.
Speaker 2: But yet they just went to sweet six they went
Speaker 2: to sixteen.
Speaker 6: So so this I guess it got out this week.
Speaker 5: Okay, so now everybody knows Cooper is playing even though
Speaker 5: they're gonna lose their coach.
Speaker 6: So then, well, what happened? That's what everybody wants to know, right,
Speaker 6: what happened?
Speaker 5: It can't be a scandal or a two big one
Speaker 5: because the wouldn't let him keep coaching, right, like something's
Speaker 5: gonna what could it be?
Speaker 6: Well, his way, this is from his wife. We don't
Speaker 6: know is one side of the store. Right.
Speaker 5: Tim asked the principal if it was personal, and he
Speaker 5: shook his head no and said no, it's just time
Speaker 5: to replace him in the entire staff. Now that she
Speaker 5: then says that Tim has been mistreated, et cetera. So
Speaker 5: so then I posted on Twitter last night.
Speaker 6: Text machine starts filling up with stories behind the story.
Speaker 6: Now again, I don't know if any of this is true,
Speaker 6: all right, so let's be clear.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but you know, my bunch of people
Speaker 5: told the same story, right, so I could be true.
Speaker 2: There's nugget of truth in there. Maybe someone apparently.
Speaker 5: Last year this is the store, somebody on the some
Speaker 5: player there, their their dad was in the stands for
Speaker 5: Cooper and got started yelling at someone from another high school.
Speaker 5: I don't know if it was a player, if it
Speaker 5: was a dad, but there was a father something thing. Okay, Right,
Speaker 5: Then apparently the principal said, hey, father, you can't come
Speaker 5: to the games anymore. So then the kid, who was
Speaker 5: one of the best players for Cooper ended up going
Speaker 5: to the school where his dad was screaming at them,
Speaker 5: so he lost his player, and apparently the coach was
Speaker 5: very upset about that. It led to an argument between
Speaker 5: principal and coach and now here we are. Now, I'm
Speaker 5: not taking sides in this here kerfuffle, okay, I just
Speaker 5: like kerfuffles. And I also think as we get ready
Speaker 5: to start the regional tournament, a high school that's one
Speaker 5: of the favorites in their region, having a coach who's
Speaker 5: already been told you can't come back, and having this
Speaker 5: story come out makes whatever region Cooper's in. What region
Speaker 5: is that, eighth region, eighth region, I don't know whatever
Speaker 5: region it is. What an exciting Uh, what's gonna happen
Speaker 5: here with Cooper and the dad screaming at the other
Speaker 5: team and then sending his son to that team. That's
Speaker 5: some drama that I'm here for.
Speaker 2: I am really kind of torn in this because you
Speaker 2: don't want your parents to act like that.
Speaker 5: Well, we don't know what they acted like. True, True,
Speaker 5: we don't know how bad it was. We didn't know
Speaker 5: if it happened. But this is just what people are saying.
Speaker 6: True.
Speaker 2: I guess we had to say allegedly, yes, that that happened.
Speaker 2: So if the principal is just trying to why would
Speaker 2: you fire the coach for that? You don't, That's what
Speaker 2: I'm kind of torn. It's got nothing to do with
Speaker 2: the coach. That's a parent principal issue. But the coach
Speaker 2: got mad because the.
Speaker 6: Coach lost one of his players after the school because
Speaker 6: of it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, ninth three, he's the coach of the year ninth three.
Speaker 6: On top of that.
Speaker 7: You know, parents shouldn't go crazy, but I feel like
Speaker 7: that happens a lot of games.
Speaker 6: I go to every every everyone.
Speaker 7: We all remember that parent that growing up in our
Speaker 7: high school youth games, So it's kind of common, even
Speaker 7: though it shouldn't happen. And I don't think it should
Speaker 7: get to a point where a coach that's twelve and
Speaker 7: zero and just one Coach of the year should be
Speaker 7: getting pushed out over a situation.
Speaker 6: So are you rooting for Cooper?
Speaker 5: Apparently his wife who posted this is also the school's
Speaker 5: volleyball coach. So the school's volleyball coach posted about the
Speaker 5: principal of the school that she is the volleyball coach.
Speaker 7: For some turmoil in the Cooper athletics. I'm rooting for
Speaker 7: Cooper and coach Tim Sullivan. I believe you said was
Speaker 7: his name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're asking me if i'm rooting for him,
Speaker 2: I'm like, heck, yeah, I'm rooting for him.
Speaker 5: Now, well, I don't know who to root for it
Speaker 5: because I don't know, like if there's more to it,
Speaker 5: but I'm sure there is.
Speaker 2: I'm sure there is, and.
Speaker 5: I'm sure it's interesting. So when Cooper plays, you got
Speaker 5: to pick your regional tournaments.
Speaker 7: Okay, Saturday they play Highlands at NKU.
Speaker 6: Saturday they play Highlands at NKU.
Speaker 5: I'm going to be keeping up with how Cooper does
Speaker 5: because the regional tournaments are all this week. The girls
Speaker 5: regionals Sweet sixteen is next weekend. Yes, so the girls
Speaker 5: regionals finished this week. I think the boys are kind
Speaker 5: of going over two weeks so that they can get
Speaker 5: it done.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So the girls started their region play last night already.
Speaker 7: Yeah, tonight's the first big night. I think Region fifteen
Speaker 7: had a few games, but tonight's when they really started.
Speaker 6: Fifteen.
Speaker 5: You members where the woman made the TikTok Yes, about
Speaker 5: the about the four overtimes and Betsy Lane and Prestonsburg
Speaker 5: and the and the guy threw the birds up from
Speaker 5: the I love some good high school basket.
Speaker 7: I think it makes me excited. Archer Douglas Broncos playing tonight.
Speaker 2: They're playing tonight at Madison Central. They lost in the
Speaker 2: district and got a better drawl than the district winner.
Speaker 6: He's trying to say Madison Central's not good.
Speaker 2: Oh, they're good. But but Douglas is not in great.
Speaker 6: Crossings Shannon that he doesn't he doesn't respect Central.
Speaker 3: I think he's Madison.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think the quote was when he said Central couldn't
Speaker 5: beat me. That was the exact quote. If you want
Speaker 5: to hating that up in your locker room.
Speaker 4: Mattison, think I overheard that during the break he said that, right.
Speaker 2: I told you who the Massis Citil's best player was.
Speaker 2: Darren Feldhouse's son.
Speaker 5: Really Yes, Darren Feldhouse has a son that is already
Speaker 5: ready to be that good.
Speaker 2: Yes, he's really good.
Speaker 6: We're all old. Who's next?
Speaker 3: Will will go ahead?
Speaker 6: Will? Hey? Guys? First time? Long time? Who are.

Speaker 5: I had two I wanted to work in sports, which
Speaker 5: that happened, and I wanted to My other dream job
Speaker 5: was I wanted to be a host on QVC.
Speaker 3: We could make that happen.
Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, that's still a possibility.
Speaker 5: I wanted to, like, go look at this notebook, it
Speaker 5: is nineteen ninety nine. I wanted to be like the
Speaker 5: woman on hacks.
Speaker 2: So who used to watch it all the time that
Speaker 2: you had were forced to watch a kid, maybe like
Speaker 2: your grandma.
Speaker 6: My grandma though I've watched it, but me too. I
Speaker 6: liked it. I just thought it was like because.
Speaker 5: Back then now that I only sell women's clothing, but
Speaker 5: they used to sell like TVs and stuff that like
Speaker 5: we didn't have in Middlesbrough. You know, there was no
Speaker 5: store to go get some of that stuff. And I
Speaker 5: was like, wow, if I could be on TV selling
Speaker 5: these luxury items, have the phone number then the bottom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, were he like playing it out as a kid
Speaker 3: in your bedroom?
Speaker 5: Yeah, my goodness, yeah you're laughing.
Speaker 6: But not by myself.
Speaker 5: But there were my mom's friend Claudia, she had two daughters,
Speaker 5: Megan and Macy Andrews, and they would come to Middlesbrough
Speaker 5: sometimes to visit and we would be QVC.
Speaker 2: You would play QVC.
Speaker 5: That was Yeah, and you wonder why I didn't end
Speaker 5: up a better athlete.
Speaker 7: My grandmother watched so much QVC. When you changed the channel,
Speaker 7: if you squinted, you could still see the.
Speaker 2: Phone number burned.
Speaker 6: He was burned in the bottom.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like you could switch over to the Kentucky basketball
Speaker 7: game and the be a little faint little QVC number over.
Speaker 6: Me about QBC is that it's still on?
Speaker 2: No way, yes, it's still going.
Speaker 6: Who is I mean, who's watching that? Like?
Speaker 5: We you have a computer, like you can order anything
Speaker 5: that's on there, but there are it is still on.
Speaker 7: They're working so hard to not let their viewers find
Speaker 7: out about Amazon just a little longer.
Speaker 2: Well you get that great deal when time's running out,
Speaker 2: gonna drop the price and they're gonna jump on the price.
Speaker 5: I always totally bought it. Yeah, I always was like,
Speaker 5: well you better call some better call now. I mean
Speaker 5: you got thirty seconds. They will not take it.
Speaker 6: If you call after that like that, you will not
Speaker 6: be able to get it. What about you? What was
Speaker 6: your dream? Dog? Don't say played basketball for Bobby and
Speaker 6: Night in India.
Speaker 2: Well, I was gonna be the starting centerfielder and bat
Speaker 2: lead off for the Saint Louis Cardinals. That was my
Speaker 2: dream job. But I went to college. I told you this,
Speaker 2: I was gonna be a Kentucky State trooper. That was
Speaker 2: gonna be my.
Speaker 6: So you must have liked when we were at the academy.
Speaker 2: I loved it. Yes, I thought it was really cool.
Speaker 2: I still I think I can still do it.
Speaker 7: They're hiring, They are hiring.
Speaker 6: A minute, they are hiring. But do you think they
Speaker 6: would take you? No?
Speaker 5: Like no, But I mean, like you think, why wouldn't
Speaker 5: they want like a fifty five year old first time cop.
Speaker 2: I I couldn't pass the physical part of it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: driving record. I could be the guy that does all
Speaker 2: the paperwork in the in the office.
Speaker 6: The driving record.
Speaker 3: He's already yeah, out, who's next, Let's go to Nate.
Speaker 6: Nate, go ahead and Nate.
Speaker 10: Yeah man.
Speaker 11: But I'm not a big, super big wrestling fan, and
Speaker 11: I tune in every now and then, and I think
Speaker 11: that scene a hill turn was one of the biggest
Speaker 11: sports moment where I saw coming but was still surprised.
Speaker 11: Do you guys have any of those big sports moments
Speaker 11: where you see it coming but you're still surprised.
Speaker 5: With I appreciate the call. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know if I can think of one where
Speaker 5: I saw it. For me, the biggest surprising sports moment,
Speaker 5: I was very surprised. If you're just looking at Kentucky basketball,
Speaker 5: I was very surprised when we went on the run
Speaker 5: in twenty fourteen. I'd kind of left that team for dead.
Speaker 5: I thought we were gonna lose to Kansas.
Speaker 6: State in the first game. And then when we.
Speaker 5: Beat Wichita State, then beat Louisville, beat Michigan, and beat Wisconsin,
Speaker 5: that was a really surprising. And then on the negative,
Speaker 5: I just didn't see the Saint Peter's loss coming at all.
Speaker 4: But we did see the Oakland win coming because of
Speaker 4: the Saint Peter's game lost coming.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I genuinely thought we could lose to Oakland. I
Speaker 5: just did not see the Saint Peter lost coming. I
Speaker 5: kinda I know we had lost in the SEC tournament
Speaker 5: and it had been kind of embarrassing, but I I
Speaker 5: just kind of felt like I was already I was
Speaker 5: worried about the Murray State.
Speaker 6: Game in the second round, but I was not.
Speaker 5: Worried Drew about Saint Peter's and it just hit me
Speaker 5: from behind.
Speaker 7: Remember last year, I'm usually positive. I don't get the anxiety.
Speaker 7: On our pregame show at that hotel, I was like,
Speaker 7: this doesn't feel right for the Oakland game. And You're like,
Speaker 7: if you're worried, this is a bad sign. I was like,
Speaker 7: something doesn't feel right today, I'm worried about an upset.
Speaker 6: It did not feel right.
Speaker 5: It didn't feel right from the time the Saint Peter's
Speaker 5: band was playing at our pregame.
Speaker 6: Show and we couldn't get away from it.
Speaker 7: It just didn't RCU me Oaky, Yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 7: you're right about Saint Pimmits going into it just weren't
Speaker 7: very confident. A and M had just whooped them in
Speaker 7: Nashville for no reason. Ninety nine percent of the Kentucky crowd.
Speaker 7: Why am I bringing this up?
Speaker 2: I think you're right about Saint Peter. I think that
Speaker 2: did surprise us. Even going into overtime, I still thought, well,
Speaker 2: Kentucky's gonna win this at Saint Peter's. But you're right,
Speaker 2: the Oakland was different. About the second or third Jack
Speaker 2: Golkie three threw in. We're all like, oh, it's we're done.
Speaker 2: We're not. This is we saw it coming.
Speaker 5: I've said this before about the Saint Peter's game. Iron
Speaker 5: Eagle texted me an hour before the game and said,
Speaker 5: what's up with Cal? And I was like, what do
Speaker 5: you mean? He goes, you know, I've been around Cal
Speaker 5: for thirty years. I've never seen him this nervous. What's
Speaker 5: going on? And I was like, oh, I just you know,
Speaker 5: just being cow. Well, Iron Eagle saw something, miss. I mean,
Speaker 5: he said for moment one, something's up with him today.
Speaker 2: Well, you said that in the twenty fourteen championship game.
Speaker 2: You saw Julius Randall like I knew.
Speaker 5: I knew we were losing the twenty fourteen game. During
Speaker 5: warm ups, yep, I walked up and Julius Randall was
Speaker 5: standing there warming up and he was with I think
Speaker 5: he was with Alex and maybe James Young, and they
Speaker 5: looked terrified. And we had been with them on every
Speaker 5: spot on that trip and they were so loose and excited,
Speaker 5: and they just looked terrified. I think it was the
Speaker 5: first time they were the favorite and they just and
Speaker 5: I thought, I.
Speaker 6: Don't like this.
Speaker 7: We saw it most at the end of his are
Speaker 7: but whatever he was doing was putting way too much
Speaker 7: pressure on those guys, because I remember Saint Peter's game.
Speaker 7: That's the closest I've ever gotten to sit to the bench.
Speaker 7: And even when maybe Kentucky was leading early in the game,
Speaker 7: shee and Holloway looks so relaxed and his team looks
Speaker 7: so relaxed and cal just ten minutes into the game
Speaker 7: was already losing it. And it was like, this is Kentucky.
Speaker 7: They're supposed to be afraid of us, not the other
Speaker 7: way around.
Speaker 5: Yeah, five nine two twenty two eighty seven. It is
Speaker 5: ask anything Tuesday. We're gonna take a break. We haven't
Speaker 5: talked about a UK football player doing an historic performance
Speaker 5: at the Combine that I don't think anyone saw coming,
Speaker 5: at least I didn't.
Speaker 6: We'll be right back to KSR. Welcome back.
Speaker 5: It is Kentucky Sports Radio. I just saw a video
Speaker 5: speaking of high school high school sports contraras Warren East
Speaker 5: Metcalf County Girls Region tournament. Oh my, Metcalf County's up
Speaker 5: to Warren East. Player gets fouled two shots with one
Speaker 5: second left the time the game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she makes the first free throw, second free throw.
Speaker 5: She's shooting this. I'll show you the video. She's shooting this.
Speaker 5: This is to tie the tiet. This is to tie.
Speaker 5: She's dribbling here, she takes the shot. It is pure
Speaker 5: ref comes in, calls.
Speaker 6: Lane violation on her, no on the on.
Speaker 7: The woman in the block that looks like no three
Speaker 7: point behind the three point line?
Speaker 2: Runs did that?
Speaker 5: But he went in What a terrible way, what a
Speaker 5: terrible like what a ref getting involved for no reason?
Speaker 5: Like if if she got you know, these referees, just
Speaker 5: calm down. It's girls high school basketball. She made it
Speaker 5: so that if he did run in and who cares
Speaker 5: if she got in the rebound?
Speaker 2: I get it, but like, come on, sometimes you gotta
Speaker 2: read the room, I think, and you're in a regions
Speaker 2: are like high school girls basketball in Kentucky is not
Speaker 2: worth it?
Speaker 5: Yes, horriboy to lose, terrible boy, to lose, terror for
Speaker 5: for for Warnees. Alright, real quick for you other phones,
Speaker 5: Eli Cox, Well, let's go over quickly. The combine Dion Walker,
Speaker 5: bad combine. Yeah, would not run the forty.
Speaker 6: You can do that.
Speaker 5: If you're a top five pick, you can't do that.
Speaker 5: If you're a projected second round pick.
Speaker 6: Didn't run the forty. Bad decision.
Speaker 2: Already his stock was falling anyway.
Speaker 5: He actually looked like he was in pretty good shape
Speaker 5: when he got there, but then the things he did
Speaker 5: that were measurable is.
Speaker 6: Not very good.
Speaker 5: Dion Walker may have played himself from a top five
Speaker 5: to seven pick to maybe end of the second round,
Speaker 5: early third round.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 2: Never saw that coming. Really?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Uh?
Speaker 5: Now good Maxwell Harriston fastest cornerback in the draft.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess he made the comment for he left Lexington,
Speaker 2: I'm going up there and will be the fastest guy
Speaker 2: in camp. And he was, and he walked it up.
Speaker 5: He's gonna he may have played himself into a first
Speaker 5: round yes, yeah, so congrats some Max Weberson.
Speaker 6: But the story for me is Eli Cox from uh.
Speaker 5: From Nicholsville, Kentucky. Eli Cox comes to Kentucky as a
Speaker 5: three star, barely a three star. A lot of people
Speaker 5: were like, why are they recruiting him? He goes through
Speaker 5: the Combine as a center. He produces the third best
Speaker 5: overall combine numbers since nineteen eighty seven in the history
Speaker 5: of the Combine for a center.
Speaker 2: That's insane, third best for.
Speaker 6: A center since nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 5: Like just kills, it looked amazing, looked in better shape,
Speaker 5: than I ever remember him being in and then he
Speaker 5: performs this they said, maybe played his way from like
Speaker 5: fifth or sixth round pick to being one of, if
Speaker 5: not the highest centers taken in the draft.
Speaker 2: And his story is so crazy. He was a center here,
Speaker 2: then they moved him to guard and put Jagger at center.
Speaker 2: Then they moved him back to center like his you know,
Speaker 2: like I gotta go to the necessity. They moved him
Speaker 2: back there and ends up going to get a job
Speaker 2: in the NFL because of it.
Speaker 6: How crazy? Is that?
Speaker 7: Really unbelievable when you put it with the uh compared
Speaker 7: it to past centers. There's like six hundred and twenty
Speaker 7: five centers who have gone through the combine and he's
Speaker 7: third ever heard That is crazy. That is nuts.
Speaker 5: And the two guys that beat him didn't even end
Speaker 5: up playing center in the NFL. They moved like guard,
Speaker 5: So like when it comes to actual centers.
Speaker 2: He's the best now then he might be.
Speaker 5: Wow, good for Elis Nicholasville Kentucky going and getting it done.
Speaker 6: Who's up there, Steve, Steve, go ahead.
Speaker 10: Steve, Yeah, I'm I'm really excited about the direction that
Speaker 10: Kentucky's team has taken. Now I'm to be yeah. I
Speaker 10: mean not not just wins and os as the way
Speaker 10: some had some great wins. But I just think the
Speaker 10: future for Kentucky is really bright. And uh, Kentucky has
Speaker 10: always recruited kids from from Eastern Kentucky. I mean, did
Speaker 10: in fact rep used to say that.
Speaker 6: Was a long time ago. That was a long time.
Speaker 5: A lot of that time basketball was segregated, so like
Speaker 5: it's a different time.
Speaker 10: I no, but.
Speaker 6: Again, all right, well, I appreciate the call.
Speaker 5: Listen, we got we we need to we all need
Speaker 5: to have perspective about while this has been a great
Speaker 5: couple of years for Kentucky guys.
Speaker 6: Ree Sheppard was the third pick.
Speaker 5: In the draft, we don't get a lot of those
Speaker 5: guys coming out of Kentucky. These dudes this year have
Speaker 5: been good, but they're also a step behind the rest.
Speaker 6: Of the dudes in the SEC. Next year we have
Speaker 6: elite players coming out of Kentucky.
Speaker 5: But this is not normal and I do want us
Speaker 5: to lie well, I mean, everybody can think what they want,
Speaker 5: but this idea, we gotta go get dudes from Eastern
Speaker 5: Kentucky every year. I love that we have a dude
Speaker 5: from Eastern Kentucky.
Speaker 6: But no, we don't. Okay, no we don't.
Speaker 5: We got one that I think can be really successful,
Speaker 5: but we gotta get dudes that can win games.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 5: And and the bringing back to RUP. I mean, again,
Speaker 5: no disrespect, but until nineteen sixty six we were not
Speaker 5: even integrated, and that was most of Rupp's career. This
Speaker 5: is a different time when it comes to basketball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's a Kentucky basketball at a different level.
Speaker 2: I mean there's been some great players come out of
Speaker 2: Eastern Kentucky and some have had success at UK. John Pelfrey,
Speaker 2: for crying out, I was from Paintsville. Freddy Maggert was
Speaker 2: from Cumberland. But on a regular basis, it just doesn't
Speaker 2: happen very often.
Speaker 7: In the last two years of pretty uniqu three years
Speaker 7: with Reid are pretty unique. I mean, Travis Perry broke
Speaker 7: King Kelly Coleman's record. Yeah, that's the guy you gotta
Speaker 7: go get. Trent Noah was going to be in the conference,
Speaker 7: so you know, that's a little bit easier than to add.
Speaker 7: And then Marino and Jasper top thirty players. Hopefully that
Speaker 7: will continue, but that hasn't been the case for many
Speaker 7: years before just recently.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, this is a unique, exciting Kentucky basketball
Speaker 5: run of high school players, but you can't.
Speaker 6: You gotta go get really good players.
Speaker 5: And I look, I love Travis Perry, I love Trent Noah,
Speaker 5: but if they were our two best players, we would
Speaker 5: not win, Okay, So we have to go get really
Speaker 5: really good guys.
Speaker 7: I kind of like with the portal now, and they're
Speaker 7: probably gonna do it. Let the Kentucky guys go a
Speaker 7: Florida Gulf Coast or a Holy Cross or whatever. And
Speaker 7: if they blow up like some guys are doing, all right,
Speaker 7: you want to come back home, But to just to
Speaker 7: take them as true freshmen when they're not, what if
Speaker 7: they're not even top one hundred in the country out
Speaker 7: of high school.
Speaker 6: I actually love that plan.
Speaker 5: Perry Noah little different because of their unique circumstances and
Speaker 5: Pope being the first year, but in general, I actually
Speaker 5: think that's a pretty good plan. Do you feel I'm
Speaker 5: not asking you because it's always bad luck. Do you
Speaker 5: feel good about tonight against LSU?
Speaker 7: Do LSU really banged up when they have four guys
Speaker 7: on their injury report and a couple of them are probable?
Speaker 7: But I mean they have not been a good team.
Speaker 7: It's a good matchup. They recently switched to a four
Speaker 7: guard lineup. It helps them score, but they do not
Speaker 7: rebound at all. I mean, their rebounding has been atrocious lately,
Speaker 7: so it should be a good game. Where Kentucky has
Speaker 7: sometimes struggled on the glass giving up second chance points,
Speaker 7: LSU just doesn't do.
Speaker 6: That at all.
Speaker 7: Collins is there one big guy. He can protect the
Speaker 7: rim a little bit, but that's that's extentied on that.
Speaker 7: I hope people you know, I'm I'm cool with booing whoever,
Speaker 7: but everyone please remember his circumstances of why he left. Yeah,
Speaker 7: he went to be close to be home because his
Speaker 7: dad died when he was in Lexington. So I hope
Speaker 7: he gets a good reception tonight. Even though he's someone
Speaker 7: that hit the portal.
Speaker 6: He will. I bet he gets a good reception, don't
Speaker 6: you think.
Speaker 2: I think he's one of the few guys that this team.
Speaker 6: This for sure.
Speaker 2: Crowd definitely will.
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure. The crowd when they announced Damian Collins name,
Speaker 6: that kid went.
Speaker 5: Through a lot. Here give him a big round of applause.
Speaker 5: We'll take a break and be right back. This is KSR.
Speaker 3: TJ Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay.

Speaker 5: Brody won the Oscar for Best Actor. He gave the
Speaker 5: longest speech in the history of the Oscars. It was
Speaker 5: five and a half minutes long, but if you were
Speaker 5: watching it, it felt like forty five minutes and a
Speaker 5: half long.
Speaker 6: He just kept talking and talking and talking.
Speaker 5: There now people saying they think it was very rude
Speaker 5: of him to talk that long, A Ryan, do you
Speaker 5: think it was rude? B If you won an oscar,
Speaker 5: how long do you think you would talk?
Speaker 2: I was actually watching when he won and he went
Speaker 2: up and they started the music, you know, the wrap
Speaker 2: up music, like he goes you might as well stop that,
Speaker 2: because I said, ain't my first rodeo. I'm gonna keep going.
Speaker 2: T'll just stop it right now. Kind of got little.
Speaker 6: Did they stop it?
Speaker 2: No, yeah they did. They stopped it and they gave
Speaker 2: him another three or four a minute and then started
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 5: I had to sound mute, and every time I looked up,
Speaker 5: he was just still on. But but how long do
Speaker 5: you think you would go?
Speaker 2: I would I would probably run out of words pretty quickly,
Speaker 2: so I would say maybe two minutes tops.
Speaker 6: That would be I actually think you would be shorter
Speaker 6: than that.
Speaker 2: I think you get up there and.
Speaker 6: You'd be like you'd start. First of all, you would
Speaker 6: start crying.
Speaker 2: Yes, thank my mom and dad, than.
Speaker 5: I love you guys so much, And then you would
Speaker 5: forget somebody really important, yes, like you probably forget yoga
Speaker 5: girl or something and make and make her upset, and uh,
Speaker 5: then you would like run out of words, and you'd.
Speaker 2: Stuff because everybody comes up there now and they've already
Speaker 2: got their speech on a little piece of paper.
Speaker 6: You would do that too, though, don't you think? I
Speaker 6: don't know that.
Speaker 2: That's almost like I think you just got to be
Speaker 2: more natural.
Speaker 6: What about you?
Speaker 7: How long do you think you would like the off
Speaker 7: the cuff version of speech? See, having just watched this
Speaker 7: past one, they used the wrap it up box a lot,
Speaker 7: So I would go in knowing I don't want that music.
Speaker 7: I just feel like that's a bad look when they're
Speaker 7: trying to rush you off, like you're not important enough
Speaker 7: to keep talking. So I would try to make it
Speaker 7: pretty brief tonight, get hit with the box. I would
Speaker 7: have a maybe a good joke.
Speaker 6: I would definitely okay, yeah, all right, Chaton. What about you?
Speaker 6: How long you go?
Speaker 4: I would go as long as I possibly could. If
Speaker 4: I could go longer than five minutes, i'd go ten minutes.
Speaker 4: I don't know why they play the music. Why not
Speaker 4: just cut the mic off. That's a good way to
Speaker 4: get people to stop talking. Just turn the micro off.
Speaker 5: Sometimes it makes it hard because they might be saying
Speaker 5: something emotional, like about somebody that's died or in their lives.
Speaker 3: Okay, so but when they're not, then you cut it off.
Speaker 5: And yeah, it's just got to be careful you don't
Speaker 5: make the wrong decision. I think I would go, you know,
Speaker 5: for me, I've done this song, and if I can
Speaker 5: tell when you're losing an audience, right like I can
Speaker 5: tell when the audience is like, okay, I've had enough
Speaker 5: of you, and at that moment, I would wrap it up.
Speaker 3: We see, that would be my moment. It's not for
Speaker 3: the audience. It's for me.
Speaker 4: I'm the one that won that Oscar, all right. I
Speaker 4: don't care if everybody walks out. If I got stuff
Speaker 4: to say, I'm gonna keep going.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's as much about when you speak.
Speaker 5: It's a good lesson for public speaking. You know, Mario
Speaker 5: did an event at UK where he was public speaking.
Speaker 6: He was asking me for advice.
Speaker 5: If I it's about public speaking, It's really not about length, right.
Speaker 5: There can be a twenty minute speech that's fascinating and
Speaker 5: a ten minute speech that feels tedious and law. It's
Speaker 5: really just about how long can you say something that
Speaker 5: the audience is engaged in? If you you should figure
Speaker 5: out how much do I have that is interesting?
Speaker 6: And then that's it.
Speaker 5: Like I've heard a lot of people, they'll like have
Speaker 5: the first two minutes of interesting and then they should
Speaker 5: just stop. And then they keep going and they keep
Speaker 5: going and they see the good feedback from the audience
Speaker 5: and think, well, that means I need to keep going.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you need to be like George Constanza and say
Speaker 5: all right, I'm out.
Speaker 6: You know, I got one in.
Speaker 2: I'm done well on that point. These these winners at
Speaker 2: the Oscars, they all want to make their own political point.
Speaker 2: You know, that's what most of it is political. I understand.
Speaker 5: I get that, Like it's a heightened political time and
Speaker 5: you think, like I need to say something, but you don't.
Speaker 5: I mean you can make like you you don't, especially
Speaker 5: like in that room, like everybody there agrees with you.
Speaker 5: Like to me, if you want to really be passionate
Speaker 5: about a political point, go make it to a group
Speaker 5: of people that don't agree with you. Right. You want
Speaker 5: you want to have courage, go say like I think
Speaker 5: it would take courage to give a Maga speech at
Speaker 5: the Oscars, and I think it would take courage to
Speaker 5: give a liberal speech at a kid rock concert like
Speaker 5: that like, but when you just say it to a
Speaker 5: group of people that agree with you, like, that's not
Speaker 5: that big a deal. Just when the crowd popped there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, on the on the wrap it up box, I
Speaker 7: don't know. I was watching on Sunday these two women.
Speaker 7: One I don't know what they won. I guess I
Speaker 7: wouldn't paying that close attention. But one of them they
Speaker 7: played the music for her speech and she had to
Speaker 7: apologize to the other woman because she just had no
Speaker 7: time to talk, that she went way too far.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, they also though, do need to get these people
Speaker 5: to wrap it up? Yes, because you do want to
Speaker 5: be done before two o'clock in the week.
Speaker 2: Okay, So that brings up another point. Usually the oscars
Speaker 2: goes long after eleven.
Speaker 6: They started early?
Speaker 2: Is that why it ended early?
Speaker 5: They started at like there's something so that it would
Speaker 5: end before eleven.
Speaker 2: It ended at like ten forty five.
Speaker 6: Good for them, Well done? Who's next? Shit?
Speaker 3: Justin?
Speaker 6: Justin? Go ahead? Justin?
Speaker 9: Hey guys, interesting questions for you, and I was, I'll
Speaker 9: give my answer and I'll hang up. Who is your
Speaker 9: all's favorite player from Tennessee all time? In Louisvie all time?
Speaker 9: I know there are the biggest rivals for me? H
Speaker 9: Hepburn currently for Louisville.
Speaker 10: I don't know what it is about it.
Speaker 9: I think he's garden. I really love watching him play.
Speaker 9: And then I'm gonna give you a shout out, and
Speaker 9: I think rud of like this. Chris Lofton for Tennessee.
Speaker 9: I went and watched him in high school and thought
Speaker 9: he was going to be the next female I'm taking.
Speaker 6: I appreciate the call.
Speaker 5: Everybody would say Lofton because he's from Kentucky, so that
Speaker 5: for people here who couldn't hear the call, he asked,
Speaker 5: what's our favorite Louisville and Tennessee player of all time?
Speaker 6: How about also throwing Duke. Let's just go.
Speaker 5: Through all of them, three biggest rivals, all right, we
Speaker 5: obviously hate all their players, but if we had to
Speaker 5: pick one that we liked, and you can't pick Lofton
Speaker 5: because he's from Kentucky parent Johnson, and you can't pick
Speaker 5: Paring because we're friends with him, so you can't pick
Speaker 5: any one of those, here would be mine.
Speaker 6: Tennessee.
Speaker 5: Even when everybody hated him, I kind of liked Ron Slay.
Speaker 5: I just kind of thought he was I thought he
Speaker 5: was funny. I thought, even though he would eat us up,
Speaker 5: I thought the way he and Bogan's would talk trash
Speaker 5: to each other a lot.
Speaker 6: I kind of liked Ron Sligh Louisville, It's easy.
Speaker 5: I continued to be mesmerized by Russ Smith when he
Speaker 5: played basketball, Like I just thought, a kid like that
Speaker 5: being that good is pretty amazing. And even though he
Speaker 5: was on their national championship team and I wanted him
Speaker 5: to lose, I did think Russ Smith was something else.
Speaker 6: And then Duke.
Speaker 5: Boy, that's tough because I've really hated everyone that played
Speaker 5: at Duke. I guess Zion because I did kind of
Speaker 5: think Zion was a fun freak to watch, So I
Speaker 5: guess I would say Zion, all right, what about you?
Speaker 2: My duke was probably Grant Hill. I think he's a
Speaker 2: good guy, but he threw the past. I still think
Speaker 2: he's a decent human being. And like some of you
Speaker 2: dude guys, my Louisvill guy, I'm gonna go back to
Speaker 2: Darryl Griffith. I mean that's when Louisville was like badass.
Speaker 2: They were really good back then. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: Dryl Griffith.
Speaker 6: Oh were you and Darryl Griffith.
Speaker 2: I was in high school. Here were you born sixty six?
Speaker 2: He played in like the eighty eighty eight. He went
Speaker 2: back A yeah, And I guess for Tennessee this is hard.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to pick maybe Tony Harris the little point.
Speaker 6: To Harris, Tony Harris.
Speaker 2: Because I can't pick Clofton.
Speaker 6: He was the least likable of all.
Speaker 5: Tony Harris would be like number one on my hated list.
Speaker 2: I can't pick Lofton, I can't pick.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go to you don't want John Folkerson, No,
Speaker 7: my second one?
Speaker 6: Hear, that's the most disappointing thing you've ever seen? What
Speaker 6: about you? Well?
Speaker 7: I had Ron Slay and Russ Smith. He took those,
Speaker 7: so I'll go to my second options. Probably I didn't
Speaker 7: like him at the time, but Peyton's see, it seems
Speaker 7: like a guy that's just like we met him. We
Speaker 7: even sure with him doing the l's up. You know,
Speaker 7: still hates Its still hurts to say that out loud.
Speaker 7: And I guess maybe Scotti Hopinson, even though he's from Kentucky.
Speaker 7: Can I say him about Innessee Region two? If not him,
Speaker 7: maybe uh swiper boy? When does they have a rapper
Speaker 7: woolwich something.
Speaker 6: Did have swipe a boy? Good?
Speaker 7: So I guess I just hate all do it?
Speaker 6: Gotta pick one, can't pick Zion, can't pick.
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, the only Elton Burn.
Speaker 6: No Elton.
Speaker 7: I guess I'll go Elton Brand, Luke Canard because he
Speaker 7: grew up a Kentucky fan. No, actually no, he's he
Speaker 7: didn't pick us. I guess I'll go out and brand.
Speaker 7: That's not a fun game.
Speaker 3: I hate all Tennessee. I'll go Alan Houston all.
Speaker 4: Was I didn't like to Kentucky a little bit with Yeah,
Speaker 4: uh lovell.
Speaker 3: I guess Paron Johnson pick him?
Speaker 5: I said, can't pick Jerry Eves.
Speaker 6: Can't pick people that you know?
Speaker 3: How about that one? What's an early early for you? Dukes?
Speaker 3: So hard to pick? I guess maybe JJ Reddick you like?
Speaker 3: I don't like him. I don't like anybody.
Speaker 6: Like Jason Allen?
Speaker 3: I said, who you want me to pick? Grayson Allen.
Speaker 6: Shannon? First of all, you can't pick any white dude, dude.
Speaker 3: No, not one, I remember.
Speaker 6: Not one of them. They're all awful, all of them.
Speaker 7: What about j Bill? Was Shannon?
Speaker 3: I friend? But Jay's my friend, it's the same thing
Speaker 3: as picking parent Johnson.
Speaker 2: What's the difference.
Speaker 6: Tony Harris is the crazy one to me.
Speaker 2: I'm always I've always, you know, liked Tony Harris.
Speaker 5: The guy I think I want to make sure I'm
Speaker 5: the right guy is that the guy that had like
Speaker 5: his skin wasn't very good, but he would just kill it.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure about that. He played with Slagh They.
Speaker 6: Were like he killed us though, didn't he?
Speaker 2: I don't remember that. I remember he was a tough
Speaker 2: little dude.
Speaker 5: Okay, if he's who I'm thinking of, I really did
Speaker 5: like him.
Speaker 6: I think it was.
Speaker 7: I think it was to didn't Shannon who was the
Speaker 7: center that picked Duke because his mom instead of Kentucky
Speaker 7: not badly, but the one right before him.
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: What was the case?
Speaker 6: Shavlick Randolph. Randolph was the king.
Speaker 5: Who picked Duke whose mother and one of the funniest
Speaker 5: things that's ever happened. You remember he was choosing between Duke,
Speaker 5: Carolina and n C State and his mother was asked,
Speaker 5: why are these the three schools that you're choosing because
Speaker 5: they lived there?
Speaker 6: Like why not look at others?
Speaker 5: And she said, I don't want Shavelick to have to
Speaker 5: go very far from home. He's not comfortable with things
Speaker 5: like girls and making his own food.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, mom, Mom, she's still.
Speaker 5: There was a there was a profile of Shavleck Randolph
Speaker 5: where she where It said his mother would when he
Speaker 5: was home still cut his steak.
Speaker 6: This was a man in college didn't know the balls.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7: Well, Marcus Bolden's the one that like Kentucky, but mommy
Speaker 7: wouldn't let him go here.
Speaker 6: Yes, that's right, Shannon didn't like the mother was the said, mom.
Speaker 3: Your time is pat right, we wouldn't be my favorite.

Speaker 5: charged him double. Just trust me. Those dogs are. Those
Speaker 5: dogs are Ryan Lemon and dog Form. Before we get
Speaker 5: done here, last night, Thunder played the Rockets for the
Speaker 5: fourth time this year. Shay Alexander had over fifty points,
Speaker 5: but the bigger story might be Reed Shepherd, career high
Speaker 5: had twenty five points, scored seventeen in the third quarter,
Speaker 5: got really hot. Dwayne Wade was on the game doing
Speaker 5: the announcing. He was getting excited.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: Finally got to see a little bit that the Rockets
Speaker 5: had a ton of people injured, which is why Reid
Speaker 5: played so much.
Speaker 6: But he played really, really well. He did.
Speaker 7: It's kind of what we thought we'd see more of
Speaker 7: from Reied this season. But even though he was the
Speaker 7: third pick, he got to a team that's pretty good
Speaker 7: and has a crowded backcourt and even spent some time
Speaker 7: in the G League. I'm just glad he finally had
Speaker 7: that for some confidence for him and everybody around him,
Speaker 7: because we know it's in him. He just hasn't really
Speaker 7: had as many opportunities as he needs.
Speaker 2: Awesome, he had the big game. I assume he was
Speaker 2: Garden Shae though he had a big game and your
Speaker 2: guy gets fifty one with a gardener he was.
Speaker 6: I don't think Reid was garden Shack.
Speaker 5: They have on a couple plays, but Reid was kind
Speaker 5: of playing the two Okay.
Speaker 6: But he got a bunch of shots. Shay is unbelievable.
Speaker 6: I mean, Shae.
Speaker 5: Has there ever been a Kentucky player that ended up
Speaker 5: better in the pros versus what you thought he would
Speaker 5: be than Shay.
Speaker 2: It'd be hard to come up with. Somebody can be
Speaker 2: the MVP. They're gonna be Henry Jokic when he came
Speaker 2: here as a backup point guard to kwadd A Green
Speaker 2: and now he could be the m v P in
Speaker 2: the NBA.
Speaker 6: It's unbelievable. I mean Kwaddy Green started over him for
Speaker 6: like the first half of the season.
Speaker 7: Louisville game, that's when he broke out. We were at
Speaker 7: the Music City Bowl and watching the basketball game on
Speaker 7: TV from Nashville, and Shay just went absolutely off off
Speaker 7: on that team and it was just all uphill from there.
Speaker 5: I'll give you a good documentary to watch on Netflix
Speaker 5: that about the Olympics. Have you seen that about the
Speaker 5: Olympic basketball. I've seen it called like Court of Gold,
Speaker 5: Court of Gold, and they have behind the scenes cameras
Speaker 5: with the USA team, Canada, Serbia, and France and it's
Speaker 5: really good.
Speaker 6: And the Canada one has a lot of shape.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, the the USA one has a lot of
Speaker 5: bam and and and not as much Booker, but a
Speaker 5: lot of bam and Anthony Davis. And then Serbia. The
Speaker 5: Serbia coach just screams at Serbia all the time. And
Speaker 5: the fringe it's it's a it's just an interesting Uh.
Speaker 5: It's like behind the scenes the Olympics.
Speaker 2: I do want to see it. Even my son Josiah
Speaker 2: watched it said it was good. So when he watched
Speaker 2: it said it was good, I knew it had to
Speaker 2: be something I'd want to see.
Speaker 7: I'm surprised by Durant getting so emotional. He doesn't seem
Speaker 7: like a guy that's got a lot of feelings, but
Speaker 7: he cries in it talking about representing the US.
Speaker 6: He's probably well, he's the best Olympic basketball.
Speaker 2: Player of all time, d Durant.
Speaker 5: Yeah, as far as four gold medals, but also just
Speaker 5: what he does in the game.
Speaker 6: Uh huh. I don't think there's ever been anybody better
Speaker 6: in basketball in the Olympics.
Speaker 3: Who's next, Let's go to Nikki.
Speaker 5: Nikki, go ahead, Nicki, it's him and Kobe probably in Carmels.
Speaker 6: But he's the.
Speaker 8: Best long time first time.
Speaker 6: Who are.
Speaker 9: Thank you?
Speaker 8: I have a question about UK and KWC playing a
Speaker 8: game at the Sports Center in Owensborough.
Speaker 6: What about it? Do you want it to happen or what.
Speaker 8: It did happen? I just want you to confirm it
Speaker 8: in nineteen ninety eight, ninety nine.
Speaker 11: I was there.
Speaker 6: Well, I can't confirm it, but Ryan may have been there.
Speaker 2: That was not a game I think Kentucky did like
Speaker 2: a bar game. Yeah, like a barnstare.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, okay, yeah right, yes, but they did
Speaker 8: play because I was and I was there, but they
Speaker 8: both won their division championships that year.
Speaker 5: Okay, well, yeah, nice to talk to you. I appreciate
Speaker 5: appreciate the call. When I when I you know, I
Speaker 5: ran that Barnstorming tour one, Yes you did. That's a
Speaker 5: huge hassle, but I did it with Ramel and Joe
Speaker 5: and Kentucky played Marshall in a game in Huntington, West Virginia,
Speaker 5: and it was one of the most rocous atmospheres I've
Speaker 5: ever been to.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Basically Marshall filled it up with their fans and then
Speaker 5: we got all the money and we were like, okay,
Speaker 5: well that's good.
Speaker 2: We couldn't do it in the last fifteen years because
Speaker 2: if our guys were all going to the NBA.
Speaker 5: You could almost do it this year with these This year,
Speaker 5: I ain't doing it. Why not else can step in
Speaker 5: there and do that. I ain't doing it all right,
Speaker 5: Kentucky and LSU tonight pregame show starts at four thirty.
Speaker 6: Kats, what's what's the spread? What are we at?
Speaker 7: I haven't seen it today, but it opened at twelve
Speaker 7: and a half. Tell if there's been a new movement
Speaker 7: or not.
Speaker 6: Hat's a twelve and a half point favorite?
Speaker 2: At home?
Speaker 5: It is Senior Night. By the way, those ceremonies I
Speaker 5: think started like six forty.
Speaker 6: Is that right?
Speaker 7: It's usually about twenty minutes score.
Speaker 2: The UK's telling you be in your seats by six thirty.
Speaker 5: I think be in your seats by six thirty. So
Speaker 5: the pregame show, uh is it four thirty? But I
Speaker 5: would say get here early to make sure you can
Speaker 5: get there, to get to get there for Senior Night.
Speaker 6: Cats twelve and a half point favorite, Ryan. What do
Speaker 6: we need to do besides WI what.
Speaker 2: They need to do is take that video of the
Speaker 2: Auburn guys with the bell and put it on a
Speaker 2: loop in the locker room and make our guys watch
Speaker 2: it for fifty minutes leading up.
Speaker 5: To tiple videos everywhere. Now ESPN put it out like
Speaker 5: that video is everywhere.
Speaker 7: The caller asked Pope about it on a show last night.
Speaker 5: Hope's answer was different than Ryan's. Pope was like, Pope
Speaker 5: was with me and Shannon.
Speaker 6: Beat them. He's going to complain beat them.
Speaker 2: That's what I would do. I'd put that on a loop,
Speaker 2: fire them up, get out there, and then beat LSU
Speaker 2: by twenty.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: As I said, they're pretty small, and especially if another
Speaker 7: one of their guards stays out like he was on
Speaker 7: the injury port, just rebound. I think you score inside
Speaker 7: a lot. They have one player that can go off.
Speaker 7: Other than that, you know they're not a very good team.
Speaker 6: Shannon, you will not be here to make it pick tonight,
Speaker 6: so make it now.
Speaker 4: Kentucky wins eighty three sixty six, So I'll go with
Speaker 4: Kobe bred as my MVP.
Speaker 6: Eighty three sixty six. That would be a nice one.
Speaker 7: And cheer for Damian Collins.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say cheer for Damien Collins and everybody
Speaker 5: really take a second tonight in the in the Senior
Speaker 5: Day to really thank these guys.
Speaker 6: I mean they came.
Speaker 5: Here a little bit of a you know, a little
Speaker 5: bit of sort of leap of faith with a new
Speaker 5: coach and a new school, and I think they've really
Speaker 5: represented the uniform and have appreciated it well and have
Speaker 5: given us some great wins. And so I look forward
Speaker 5: to giving them a big salute. This men four point thirty,
Speaker 5: we will be here for pregame on all of these stations,
Speaker 5: and then I'll be back tonight for the post.
Speaker 6: This has been KSR. See you later.
