Speaker 3: bringing in an old quarterback. Dusty Bonner agreed to do

36
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: to the show today. Man, you picked a great day

37
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 3: to do a show after the Kentucky lost kind of

38
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: embarrassing at times thirty five to thirteen at South Carolina

39
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: on Saturday. First of all, great to have you on.

40
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: I think this may be your first time ever on

41
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: Kentucky Sports Radio.

42
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: It is I appreciate it having fun. Yeah, well, what

43
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 4: are your you stress the old art there for well

44
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: you there was an emphasis on that. He kind of

45
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: hung in there a little bit right.

46
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: Well, he admitted to me he's forty six years old. Ye,

47
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: that makes me feel like ancient when Dusty Bonner is

48
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: forty six years old. Well, just the other day you

49
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: were playing with the Lexting Horsemen in the UK. Seems

50
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: like a different life ago. Man, it does been a

51
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: long time. Let's get into it with you. That's we're

52
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: playing Monday morning quarterback. What uh, just what are your

53
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: thoughts about what you saw on Saturday? But we'll start

54
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: with that.

55
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 4: You know, I think everybody that's ever played has been

56
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 4: in those games where no matter how hard you try,

57
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 4: no matter what you do, it's like the wheels just

58
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 4: keep coming off. And it was just kind of one

59
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 4: of those games where it just felt like no matter

60
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 4: what they did, it just it just you know, the

61
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 4: wheels came off. Man. It was just just started out hot,

62
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: looked great, and then it was just things just started

63
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: just falling apart, you know. And you know part of

64
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 4: that is as you're playing a quarterback in South Carolina,

65
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 4: the seller's kid. He's a fantastic quarterback, very very difficult

66
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: to defend. Uh, probably one of the better players in

67
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 4: the country, So that that certainly is part of it.

68
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 4: But then their defense, you know, the way that we

69
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: had to play offensively, and you're trying to come back

70
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: and you've made some mistakes and give them the ball

71
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 4: and yeah scored. Now you've got to come back. And

72
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 4: those guys that their defensive style where they can pin

73
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 4: their ears would come after just what we had to

74
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 4: play into and didn't work out very well.

75
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 5: Tree Franklin, Yeah, I mean I was convinced it would

76
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 5: be a game in the fourth quarter. I picked South

77
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 5: Carolina to win before the season, so I stuck with

78
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 5: that in my final prediction. But I was shocked that

79
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 5: they came back with a thirty five thirteen loss. I mean,

80
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 5: it all happened right there in the second quarter with

81
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 5: those turnovers, completely inexcusable, but it was We knew it

82
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 5: was over from there. It's sometimes it just feels like

83
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 5: a comedy of errors with how Kentucky football loses. Not

84
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 5: to pick on Pete, but if you just fall on

85
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 5: that ball, yeah, and you punt and get out of there,

86
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 5: who knows it's a different game. But you know, they

87
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 5: went up seven oh, scored on the first drive for

88
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: the second time this year. Get a little bit of life,

89
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 5: and I think we have something. It just stinks the

90
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 5: way it got absolutely ripped away immediately was all downhill

91
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 5: from there, not really any hope after that first drive.

92
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: So let's let's let's start with that. They go down

93
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: March right down in the field and score on their

94
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: opening drive that ends up being their only touchdown of

95
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: the game. What what happened after that first drive that

96
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: was different?

97
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think some of it was just

98
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 4: our own mistakes and things that we did, you know,

99
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: not securing the football and then not protecting the quarterback

100
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: and some of those deals. But you know, at the

101
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 4: end of the day, our run game was really effective

102
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 4: and really strong in the beginning of that, and I

103
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: think South Carolina could just kind of pin their ears

104
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 4: a little bit and load the box and do some

105
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: things to take the run away from us. And then

106
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 4: whenever we did get into those those positions where you

107
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: get down to the third down and it's not third

108
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 4: and short where you can really you're really a threat

109
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 4: to run the ball, Like if you know, if it's

110
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 4: third nine. They don't have to load the box. They

111
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 4: can play play the pass, and they can still still

112
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 4: stop the run if you decide to do it. But

113
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 4: you know, you're getting those positions where you're behind the

114
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: chains a little bit. They know you got to pass

115
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 4: the ball, and they pin the ears and here they come.

116
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 4: And I think that was just you know, they talked

117
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: about it on the broadcast a little bit, but you're

118
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 4: really kind of playing in their hands with the defense

119
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 4: that they have, and the Stewart kid in particular, the

120
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: defensive end I call him defensive end outside linebacker. But

121
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 4: you know, when when it's when it's an obvious third

122
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: down situation where you're going to pass the ball, that's

123
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 4: that's one of the best guys in the country, right,

124
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 4: that's one of the best guys. And so but but

125
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 4: I but I do think, you know, like you said

126
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 4: on the when when Cutter got sacked and fumbled and

127
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: we didn't recover that ball, that that was the moment

128
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 4: that everything just kind of went downhill. And and and

129
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 4: that's what I was talking about, like when the wheels

130
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 4: fall off, you know, that was that was the first

131
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 4: sign that the wheels were something bad. Was gonna happen.

132
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 4: We needed something good to happen right away. And again

133
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 4: instead of that, something bad happened right away, and you know,

134
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 4: you just start digging that hole.

135
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 5: You can't get out of it to when they just

136
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 5: needed to run the ball, Cutter manage get out of

137
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 5: there with autum mistakes once they fell behind. When South

138
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 5: Carolina score like four straight touchdowns there for a stretch, Yeah,

139
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 5: once you get to that point and you can't just

140
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 5: lean on your run game and play field position, you're

141
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 5: actually trying to play from behind. That's that was just

142
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 5: too much task of that offense and Cutter Bowlie, especially

143
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 5: in that spot. And the fact that it's now, what's

144
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 5: the stat every Bush Hampden game SEC game, they haven't

145
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 5: scored more than two touchdowns. It's like ten and oh

146
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 5: or h to ten and to eleven, whatever it is.

147
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 5: I mean, it's the the cast is changing. But it's

148
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 5: now been a year and two more SEC games and

149
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 5: not even being able to score more than two touchdowns

150
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 5: in a game, it just gets frustrating. I didn't expect

151
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 5: this one to be high scoring, but when you turn

152
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 5: it over like that, you can't expect to win it all,

153
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 5: especially in Colombia.

154
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: Well, you know, another part of that is is what

155
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: you just ended with. South Carolina is a tough place

156
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: to play. Oh my goodness, that is rowdy play. It

157
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 4: was rowdy when I played, and they were like one

158
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: in ten, so they were terrible, and it was still rowdy,

159
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 4: you know, until everybody realized they were going to lose

160
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 4: in the left. But you know, so when those big

161
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: play type things happened that happened in that game early on,

162
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: just all the momentum and all the energies on the

163
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 4: South Carolina sideline and that that plays into it, and

164
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 4: I think it probably did in this game, and.

165
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 6: They already have energy.

166
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 5: But when you get back to back defensive touchdowns, yes, yeah,

167
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 5: the place is blowing up.

168
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 3: You got a scoopid score and a pick six and

169
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: then forty five seconds that just makes the roof blow

170
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 3: off the top of a place like that.

171
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 4: It does. Yep.

172
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 3: So Drew mentioned Bush Hampton. He's getting a lot of

173
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: a lot of pushback. Now, what what's your thoughts about

174
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: the game he called? Is he calling the right plays

175
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: to put Cutter in the best position we can succeed

176
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: or what are your thoughts?

177
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: Well, you know, for me, I'm you know, you remember

178
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 4: when I played, we threw a lot of short passes,

179
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: and we threw a lot of short passes and dinked

180
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 4: and dunked all over the field. And you know, that's

181
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: something that I would love to see in the Kentucky Arsenal.

182
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: Is more just simple pass plays, you know, instead of

183
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 4: instead of kind of some of the longer stuff where

184
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: you've got to hold hold the hold the ball for

185
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 4: a deeper drop and then you got to make a

186
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: great throw because in the sec if you're throwing a

187
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 4: fifteen yard out route or you're throwing a twenty yard dig,

188
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: there's not very much much margin for air when you're

189
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 4: when you're throwing those kind of those kind of big

190
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 4: you're asking a lot of your quarterback in those plays.

191
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 4: And I certainly think Cutter is capable. You know, I'm

192
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: very high on Cutter as a quarterback. But just some

193
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: of the just some of the little stuff, man, just

194
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: just you know, tighty in over the middle five yards,

195
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 4: ten yards, shallow routes, just this little stuff across the

196
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 4: middle of the field, just to help a little bit

197
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: get them outside the pocket. I think sometimes when you

198
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: have a younger quarterback and you know, you know, get

199
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: them outside of the pocket, just give them something easy

200
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 4: to start out with.

201
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

202
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 4: Again, the course of that game kind of kind of

203
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 4: kind of determined what happened. Right when you get behind

204
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: like that. Now, all of a sudden, you've you've gone

205
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 4: away from who your identity is, because I think their

206
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 4: identity wants to be let's pound the ball and let's

207
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 4: do enough in the passing game to win, play great defense. Well,

208
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: they took that identity away from you, and you had

209
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: to be something that you're not, which is now we

210
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: got to we've got to figure out a way to

211
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 4: move the ball down the field in the air, and

212
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 4: you know that's that's not our game plan.

213
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: What's your take on the Bush Hampden experience right now?

214
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 5: Okay, I mean I just said the fact that you

215
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 5: can't score two touchdowns. Also, I keep thinking about this season.

216
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 5: I go back to that safety against Toledo, that fake

217
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 5: pitch on fourth and whatever, when Bowdley first came in

218
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago, then what was it third

219
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 5: and five and they tried the little reverse to Gilmore.

220
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 5: You're in It's almost like you were settling for a

221
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 5: field goal. There very aggressive. You know, I'm not going

222
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 5: to sit here and start firing people. That's not my spot.

223
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 5: But it has been very disappointing, extremely disappointing. But it's

224
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 5: also consistent across this several years. It's not just been

225
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 5: on him, but he does not seem like he has

226
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 5: the answers either.

227
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 6: After two games this year.

228
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 5: I gave him a little bit of a break last

229
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 5: season because he came in February, wasn't his roster Cohen

230
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 5: kind of left him in a bad spot when he

231
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 5: left for the NFL. I thought maybe we'd see a

232
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 5: big jump. So far through four games, I haven't seen

233
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 5: any jump at all in the play call.

234
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: And that's the other thing too, is when when you

235
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 4: bring in a new offensive coordinator, or you bring any

236
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator, and we don't know all the behind the

237
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 4: scenes stuff. So last year, you don't know, as a

238
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 4: quarterback hurting a little bit, as a shoulder messed up.

239
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 4: Are they afraid that, hey, we can't really pass the

240
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 4: ball because we can't protect the guy. You know that

241
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. A lot of that plays into

242
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: it too, and a hamstrings an offensive coordinator. But to

243
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 4: your point, I think you know regardless of who, you know,

244
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: trying to blame who or whatever. The end result is

245
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: something's got to happen, something, something's got to change offensively

246
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 4: where we can we can move the ball through the air,

247
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 4: because I just don't think you can line up in

248
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 4: this conference and and we're gonna run. We're gonna run

249
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: the ball and we're gonna get away with winning. You know,

250
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: I think that was a model of years ago. But

251
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 4: it ebbs and flows and it's back to you gotta

252
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 4: be able to score a lot of points in this

253
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 4: league now. I think if you don't score twenty, if

254
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 4: you score twenty eight, you're in the game. You gotta

255
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 4: be able to score thirty five to win it, you know.

256
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: So at the end of the day, I think it's

257
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: something's got to be figured out.

258
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 6: So, you know, it's fun getting the tight ends involved.

259
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 5: For a couple of weeks, I was going now Catus

260
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 5: I don't think was targeted once. No Columbia, but Rodriguez

261
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 5: leading yards. If there's one thing that that has been

262
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 5: going to the offense, it's after years, you know, Kentucky

263
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 5: fans every season it's when we get the tight ends going,

264
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 5: they've at least gotten that going a little bit. It's

265
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 5: the only thing that's been working in the passing game

266
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 5: so far.

267
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: So you know where Rodriguez had that one long pass play.

268
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: Outside of that, they suck the tight ends away. I mean,

269
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 3: obviously the game tape, they know what clutter Bully likes

270
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 3: to do, so that means our receivers need to find

271
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 3: a way to get on. But they went to mic

272
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: many a couple of times. But the receivers as a group,

273
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 3: as a corps, have been kind of quiet already this season.

274
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 3: What's what's the problem.

275
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'd have to go back and look

276
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 4: at a lot of tape to determine that, because you know,

277
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 4: when you're watching it on TV, you kind of pick

278
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 4: out the one guy or you pick out the one

279
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 4: spot and you watch it. So you know, I think

280
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: that's hard to determine without really diving into film. But

281
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 4: I but but but to that point, there has been

282
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 4: times where you'll see the quarterback drop back and it

283
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 4: looks like they're waiting on somebody to get open. Now,

284
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 4: you know that could be something else too, Yeah, but

285
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 4: at the same time, it looks like they're waiting for

286
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: folks to get open, and you know, as we we

287
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 4: saw the other night in this league, if you're taking

288
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 4: a five step drop, you can't wait. You don't have

289
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: that kind of time. You know you people got to

290
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 4: get open. They got to get open now. And so

291
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 4: I do think that that is a little bit of

292
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 4: a concern. Is is as a group or a receiving corps.

293
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 4: You know, Law's doing a great job and he's getting

294
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: some action, but you can't get away with just one.

295
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 4: You got to have more guys than that, or else

296
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 4: they can take that away pretty easily. You get you

297
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 4: get somebody on both sides of the field that they're

298
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 4: worried about, and now all of a sudden, that opens

299
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 4: up everything, particularly in the middle, opens up your tight

300
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 4: ends more. But if they can just say if we

301
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 4: stop this guy outside, then we're good and we can

302
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 4: kind of hunker down and take care of the tight ends,

303
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: that puts you in a numbers game. That's that's not

304
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: beneficial for you.

305
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 5: And that one of Rodriguez's catch was absolute chaos when

306
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 5: they started lattering laterally, I didn't love that in the

307
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 5: first half of a game. That's something you do, is

308
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 5: the clocks ring at the end. That could have been

309
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 5: another touchdown. As reckless as they got, but it was good.

310
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 5: They got him going a little bit, but needed a

311
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 5: lot more.

312

Speaker 3: two weeto two to eight seven. We're playing Monday Morning Quarterback.

317
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 3: Kentucky now loses their last four games in a row

318
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: to South Carolina, all in four against South Carolina in

319
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 3: their last four games. Ouch, well, right back. This is

320
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: Kentucky's sports Radio. Welcome back to take a Sports Radio,

321
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 3: Ryan Drew and Shannon with Dusty Bonner here playing Monday

322
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 3: Morning Quarterback. Shan, I didn't ask you what was your

323
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: big takeaway from the game on Saturday.

324
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 2: Then it was over at halftime because when South Carolina

325
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: had twenty eight points, I had zero confidence that Kentucky's

326
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: offense could score that many points. I mean their last

327
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: nine possessions. I had this stat on the pre show.

328
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: The last nine possessions they averaged two yards per play,

329
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 2: zero points, four turnovers. And that's now eleven consecutive Power

330
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: Conference games without scoring more than two offensive touchdowns in

331
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: a game. So once they got to that twenty eight points, really,

332
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: once they got to twenty one, I thought, well, it's

333
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: probably over at this point.

334
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 4: Yeah.

335
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: That second quarter was ridiculous. Scoop and score pick six

336
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: South can I scores twenty one and answered like quick?

337
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 3: And that second quarter, I mean, I just you said,

338
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: at the wheels just completely fell off, and I think

339
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 3: we all knew his fans there wasn't no coming back.

340
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 3: It was over.

341
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's pretty tough, I think as a fan,

342
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 4: you know, it's more fun to lose thirty four to

343
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 4: thirty five, you know, if you got a chance. Yeah,

344
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 4: And but yeah, I mean that's the only way to say.

345
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: As the Wheels fault, you know, they just came off.

346
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 4: And look, it happens to to everybody. If you play

347
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 4: long enough, it happens to you. You know, you'll have

348
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 4: that game or those games where you know you just

349
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 4: kind of wish the ground would open up and you

350
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 4: could just hide, you know, because it's just it's it's bad,

351
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: and no matter what happens, it just gets a little

352
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 4: bit worse, you know, And you know, I've I've been there.

353
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: I've I've been in those spots for you know, Cutter

354
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: where you know you get hit you you know, and

355
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 4: that's sill of thing too, is like look at you

356
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 4: know on that on that scoop and score fumble. I mean,

357
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: you know, he took a shot, man, he did. He

358
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 4: took a big shot. And and you know, as a

359
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: quarterback coach, you always get you gonna tell your guy, hey,

360
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 4: you got to you gotta secure the ball. You gotta

361
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 4: do what you gotta do. And but sometimes you get

362
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 4: hit and the ball, the ball gets separated from you.

363
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: And I think it was one of those deals. And

364
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 4: you know, I've been there, done that. I got hit

365
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 4: one time, I got sacked out a Mississippi State and

366
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 4: have no idea where the ball went.

367
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you my Misissippi State story by Dusty Though.

368
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: I'm glad you said that.

369
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 5: You all said some stuff off there. I want to

370
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 5: hear some of these behind the scenes stories too. We

371
00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 5: everybody can talk a little South.

372
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 4: We may need to approve all this. But in between

373
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 4: the break here, but.

374
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: Kentucky was playing at Mississippi State on a Thursday night night. Yeah,

375
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: it was a big ESPN game on Thursday night. So

376
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: we went down there and got there with the team.

377
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: As they're walking on the field, Dusty walked the length

378
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: of the field, spit in the end zone. Walk the

379
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: length of the field the other way, spit in that

380
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 3: end zone. And I've always remembered there you were spitting

381
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: an the end zone, almost like hey, I'll be back,

382
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 3: don't worry.

383
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 4: So did I ever tell you why I didn't that? No,

384
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: so literally, and you know I was back in those days.

385
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 4: I was probably I'm not superstitious at all, but but

386
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 4: in those days, I was a little bit. But every

387
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 4: every pregame, that was my That's what I did every time,

388
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 4: was I'd walk. I'd walk all the way down going

389
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 4: to the end zone, walk all the way down, come

390
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 4: back to this end zone. In my mind, I was like, hey, look,

391
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 4: this is where we're going to be and I'm coming.

392
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: Back, so I'm got to find my way to get there.

393
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 4: Just go ahead and get our path lined out here

394
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 4: because this is what we're But it also had helped

395
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 4: remind me like, look, your your job as a quarterback

396
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 4: is to get there, Like that's your purpose is to

397
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 4: get in the end zone. And so that was that

398
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 4: was for me. That was That was kind of how

399
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 4: I did it, Like, Hey, I'm gonna go ahead and

400
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 4: do this now, and we're just gonna keep doing it

401
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 4: during the game.

402
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: Now you obviously you're a former Kentucky quarterback won the

403
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: Harlan Hill Trophy of Valdosta Quarterback. You know the game.

404
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 3: I know you're an LCA guy too. Cutters an LCA guy.

405
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: He's got got a lot of pushback after the game

406
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: Saturday night. Is it deserved or what are your what's

407
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: your thoughts about Cutter as the quarterback?

408
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 4: Well, first, you know, whether it's deserved or not, it's

409
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 4: just part of the deal. You know, that's just what happens.

410
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: You know, people give you that. But you know, I

411
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: remember before I ever saw him play in high school,

412
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 4: I talked to another guy that knows a couple of

413
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 4: things about quarterback couch and.

414
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: And and him Couch yeah, and he heard of him.

415
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 4: He yeah, yeah. And he told me, you know, he said, hey,

416
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 4: have you seen this Cutter kid. He's the real deal,

417
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 4: you know. And when he says that that that's that's

418
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 4: pretty good indicator. But then I wanted watched him play,

419
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 4: and I mean, you know, he is the real deal.

420
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 4: And I, And like I said, I'm high on him.

421
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 4: I think he's got a bright, bright future. I think

422
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 4: he's a guy that can play on Sundays. He's got

423
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 4: that kind of arm. But the other thing, you know,

424
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 4: I saw him in high school throwing throw an interception

425
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 4: that wasn't his fault, by the way. It got tipped

426
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 4: and he got intercepted, and I was watching the guy

427
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 4: return the return it and out of nowhere, you just

428
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 4: see this blur and this kid just drills him as

429
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 4: hard as he can. And it was Cutter, you know,

430
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 4: And that that's I think there's some things you learned

431
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 4: about Cutter on Saturday night that were for me. You know,

432
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 4: he took some shots, he got right back up. Every

433
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 4: single time he got right back up, things the wheels

434
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 4: fell off. I don't think he ever really looked flustered.

435
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 4: He never looked flustered to me. Frustrated, yeah, because you

436
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 4: can't not be frustrated in that situation, but he never

437
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 4: looked like flustered. He never looked like bright eyed, like

438
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 4: oh my goodness, this is too big of a moment

439
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 4: for me. He didn't look like that at all. And

440
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 4: so to me, you know, like I said, he's got

441
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 4: a tonne of talent. He's got the arm talent, but

442
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 4: he's got a little bit of vinegar in his veins too.

443
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 4: And by that, you know, he's just he's he's not like, hey,

444
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: I'm the quarterback, look at me. He's a guy that's like, hey,

445
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 4: I threw a pick and I'm fixing right over here

446
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 4: and try to knock somebody down. And I think the

447
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 4: other night one of the picks, like you couldn't see

448
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 4: it real well because it was kind of a kind

449
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 4: of a group of bodies, but I think he was

450
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,479
Speaker 4: one of the He was and you could see him.

451
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 4: He was full speed, but he didn't make to play,

452
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 4: but he was.

453
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 3: Blocked by our own guy.

454
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 4: And so like to me, like if I'm taking away

455
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 4: anything from that game on on Cutter, those are the

456
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 4: two things. Is number one, he got he took some

457
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 4: shots and he got sack what six times? Yeah, he

458
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 4: took some and he got hit more than that, But

459
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 4: he took some shots and he got right back up

460
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 4: and he never really looked like he lost his composure.

461
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 4: And so I think those are both really really good

462
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 4: signs for him. But again, talent wise, like I think

463
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 4: he's a guy that plays on Sundays, he's got that

464
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 4: kind of arm. But I think he's got that attitude

465
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 4: and that confidence. And like I said, I said vinegar

466
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 4: in the veins is kind of the way to express it.

467
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 4: He's just he's a competitor. So I think he's got

468
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 4: a bright future.

469
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 3: Where are you on Cutter?

470
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 5: Right as you mentioned him bouncing back after play, I mean,

471
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 5: he's gonna have to bounce back after an ugly Saturday

472
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 5: and getting some criticism. You think he's got that that

473
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 5: switch where he can I mean, of course it's Georgia

474
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 5: and your big underdog, but can he at least put

475
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 5: that behind him and try to put his best foot

476
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 5: forward for next Saturday.

477
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 4: So I think those things that I just talked about,

478
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 4: like where he never looked, you know, sometimes you can

479
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 4: see it in the guy's face when things are going

480
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 4: that bad, where they just kind of like the moments

481
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 4: too big for him and and and wasn't for him.

482
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 4: And so I think that that is like answers to

483
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 4: that question of like, yeah, I think I don't think

484
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 4: there's gonna be any problem with that. But but I

485
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: will say this, you know, when you're playing and it

486
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 4: was a completely different world when I was playing. I mean, like,

487
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 4: you know, information you had to go look for, you

488
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 4: had to go on the websites and stuff and look

489
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 4: what people were saying about you. And we used to

490
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 4: look at it, you know. You know Nolan DeVaughn, who

491
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 4: was my center, he'd be like, hey, bon or guess.

492
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 6: What they're saying about you?

493
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 4: Man, don't don't tell me. I don't want to know.

494
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 4: But you know, nowadays, with the way social media is,

495
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 4: I mean, these kids can't hide from it. But you're right, like, listen,

496
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 4: I don't I don't care. I don't care if you're

497
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 4: making money. I don't care if you're if you're the

498
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 4: best player on the team. That kind of stuff. You say, Hey,

499
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 4: don't let it bother you. It bothers you. I mean,

500
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 4: you know, so that's part of it now and it's

501
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 4: more so than ever. But I don't to me, he

502
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 4: doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that's gonna

503
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 4: get too bogged down and that I think he's gonna

504
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 4: be fun.

505
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 5: And right now, I think most fans are all behind

506
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 5: I mean, and you can be disappointing the game. There's

507
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 5: a little bit of that, but people still want him

508
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 5: to work out and be the future of being local.

509
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 5: They know the circumstances he was just put in. Yeah,

510
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 5: he expected to have a probably a full year behind

511
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 5: Calzada and next thing, you know what, you're going to Columbia.

512
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 5: So as far as the criticism he's getting, I think

513
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 5: most fans are still behind him and kind of aware

514
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 5: of the circumstances even though they wanted it to go better.

515
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 4: Listen, I mean, I think if if you can frame

516
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 4: it the right way, and I'm not trying to ride

517
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 4: off the rest of the season because we don't know

518
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 4: what's gonna happen. But but uh, you know, to me,

519
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 4: this year is about like, hey, let's let's let's let's

520
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 4: get him some experience, let's build him, and then next

521
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 4: year is kind of is kind of the year. I

522
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,239
Speaker 4: don't think that's a bad plan at all. I think

523
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 4: you gotta shift. Maybe you're shifting your expectations as a

524
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: fan a little bit, But to me, you know, I

525
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 4: thought he was in a good spot sitting behind a

526
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: quarterback getting that because I didn't I didn't start and

527
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 4: play until my third year. I was a rich shirt

528
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 4: sophomore and having those two years, man, it helps out

529
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 4: a lot, both phys physically and sure, and so I

530
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 4: don't think he was in a bad spot. But at

531
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 4: the same time, you know, now that he's playing, I

532
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 4: think you just I think it's you know, you just

533
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 4: you let him go out there and you realize there's

534
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 4: gonna be bumps on the roads, there's gonna be learning,

535
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 4: but you're building towards something else, and I think that's

536
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 4: the future. And I do think it's him. Drue.

537
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 3: You and I both got tons of messages about fire

538
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: Stoops now they need to have a clean clean the house.

539
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen. They're not gonna fire Stoops in

540
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 3: the middle of the season. The buyout is just too big,

541
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 3: and I don't think Mitch Barnhart would do that to

542
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 3: the program. What how do you respond to all these

543
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: people that want Stoops gone? Now?

544
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 5: Well, I hosted the postgame show, and I think Billy

545
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 5: could confirm. I think we batted a thousand on people

546
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 5: wanting them out, like not even me asking just the calls.

547
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 6: That's what they were saying.

548
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 3: It was just about are you on it?

549
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 4: Me?

550
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 5: Personally, I don't see this get any better. I mean,

551
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 5: I don't have a lot of faith. I don't think

552
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 5: you fired the guy now. I said this, and it

553
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 5: sounds like there's a lot of comparisons to basket with football.

554
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 5: You're not gonna get that hard lost to a fifteen

555
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 5: seed in your season, which is obvious. Yeah, it's these

556
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 5: gradual keep losing SEC game. There's not gonna be a

557
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 5: loss where you're just like, oh, that's cannot do it

558
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 5: anymore like we had with Cal, with Oakland Saint Peter's.

559
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 5: But I'll admit I don't see him winning an SEC

560
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 5: game the rest of this season, and I think you'll

561
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 5: have to have that conversation now. Now if they were

562
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 5: to do it, we all know it's like thirty eight

563
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 5: million got to be paid to sixty Day. You can't

564
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 5: do that either. So when it gets to that point,

565
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 5: I think they'll have to come to an agreement. Stoops

566
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 5: might have to look around and see that his legacy

567
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 5: and what he wants to be, and you'll have to

568
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 5: come up with something.

569
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,239
Speaker 6: But you know it's Matt always says, no point talk

570
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 6: about it. Can't afford it.

571
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 5: I really don't know how they would afford it if

572
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 5: they wanted to do it right now, but the fans

573
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 5: are definitely upset as if anyone heard Saturday night at

574
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 5: one am.

575
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 3: I wonder your thoughts on that team we come back.

Speaker 3: Shady Rais Sunglasses. All Right, Drew said his thoughts about

602
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 3: Mark Stoops the buyout coaching change. I want to give

603
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 3: you time to absorb it because I want to hear

604
00:23:58,800 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 3: what you have to say about it.

605
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 4: I think you know, first of all, when you talk

606
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 4: about we talk about where do we go from here

607
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 4: in the season, and you talk about wheels falling off

608
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 4: and this is a different world now, like the wo

609
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 4: would transfer portal and everything that's going on, Like you know,

610
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 4: you got to keep your team together, and when all

611
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 4: those whispers are out there about your coach and all

612
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 4: that kind of stuff is you'll see teams generally do

613
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 4: one or two things. They either come together as a

614
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 4: team and they all stick together and they rally behind

615
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 4: their coach, or they don't. And so I think that's

616
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 4: that's kind of what you'll see in the future. And

617
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 4: I expect them to rally around Stoops and you know,

618
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 4: the whole Stoops conversation about trying to get rid of

619
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 4: him or not. You know, at the end of the day,

620
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 4: I want to say this, you know, I think I

621
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 4: think Mark Stoops has done as good of a job

622
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 4: as anybody's ever done here as a head coach through

623
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 4: a period of time.

624
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 3: Charlie.

625
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 4: So I do think there's a there's a there is

626
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 4: a an amount of grace that he's probably he's earned

627
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 4: in my opinion. Uh. At the same time, I understand

628
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 4: the fact that in the last couple of years it's

629
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 4: it's not going in the direction everybody wants it to

630
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 4: go with. And I think, you know, particularly offensively, that's

631
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 4: where we struggled, and we've seeing the turnover and offensive coordinators,

632
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 4: and so I think something's going to have to happen,

633
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 4: whether it's this offense comes a line under Bush Hampden,

634
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 4: or there's gonna have to be a big move made

635
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,239
Speaker 4: on the offensive coordinator side. That that's that's that's what

636
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 4: I think, And what a big move. It's kind of

637
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 4: a kind of kind of maybe like something like Florida

638
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 4: State did with myles On. And I'm not saying that

639
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 4: they need to get rid of Hamden. I'm just saying

640
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 4: because I'm like you, I'm not in the firing business,

641
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 4: but I do think something's got to change there because

642
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 4: the SEC has changed a lot, you know, and when

643
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 4: Stoops was really doing well and winning here, there were

644
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 4: a lot of teams that focused on let's run the

645
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 4: ball and let's play defense, and we got really good

646
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 4: at it. If you'd have told me, hey, we're going

647
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 4: to be as good on the offensive and defensive lines

648
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 4: as everybody else we play, I'd have been like, that's

649
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 4: not a great plan here. That's what he did, yeah,

650
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 4: you know, And so you know, I think he's earned

651
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 4: some grace there. But at the same time, I totally

652
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 4: understand the factor, like, look this world, and we all

653
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 4: know it is what have you done for me lately?

654
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 4: You know, yesterday doesn't count. It's all about today and

655
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 4: and what you're giving me to today. So you know,

656
00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 4: and I think the other part of it too, And

657
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 4: I talked about this briefly on the break with you. You know,

658
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 4: where are we at in the nil world, and I

659
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 4: and I and I say this because I think that

660
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: the athletic directors are going to start being put more

661
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 4: in the spotlight for every team where it's a what

662
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 4: are they doing in the NIL world to make sure

663
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 4: their coaches have the resources to get the players that

664
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 4: they need and if they don't, then it's going to

665
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 4: shine back on them, and it should because that's just

666
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: the world that we're in right now. I don't love it.

667
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 4: I don't love the whole NIL world. I don't love

668
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 4: you know, all this stuff. But at the end of

669
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 4: the day, that's where we're at, and it's like, you know,

670
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 4: you got to have the money to go get the players.

671
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 4: Don't love that that's the way it is. But that's

672
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 4: the way it is. And so where are we at

673
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 4: there when you're looking at the rest of the SEC?

674
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 4: Where do we ranking that. I wish they would put

675
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 4: out standings every year in the SEC of NIL because

676
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: because at the bottom probably because at the end of

677
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 4: the day, I guarantee you, I guarantee you it'll line

678
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 4: up where you finish in the SEC.

679
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 5: I completely agree, And they said they're not going to

680
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 5: do it. I wish they would show how the revenue

681
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 5: is split up because it's not fair to a coach

682
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 5: if they're coaching and recruiting on one hand, by on

683
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 5: their back. Fans need to judge them and grade them

684
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 5: kind of based on the scenario they're in. So I

685
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 5: did wish we knew more about whenever you show up

686
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 5: at a stadium which side has the big bank roll,

687
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 5: because you would your expectations would be a little different,

688
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 5: and I would guess that in most games, Kentucky's is

689
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 5: gonna be a little lower. Now, I don't think that's

690
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 5: an excuse to lose, however many straight SEC.

691
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 4: Games or but you look at that, and you look

692
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 4: at you look at pro sports, and that's really what

693
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 4: this is all kind of turned into a little bit

694
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 4: more than before. Yeah, you know, the gms get looked

695
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 4: at a lot too. They get looked at a lot too.

696
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 4: So anytime there's dysfunctional team, they look at the coaches,

697
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 4: they look at the GMS, And I think that's gonna

698
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 4: be a trend moving forward in college football where the

699
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 4: GM's are gonna be looked at. They're gonna be looked

700
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 4: at pretty harshly too.

701
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 5: I look at GMS for the Titans because I want

702
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 5: all of them fired, including the new one.

703
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 6: I can name them all on me.

704
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: Take your UK hats off for just a minute. You

705
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 3: know you're wearing a UK pullover memorial golf tournament, So

706
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 3: take your UK stuff off. If you tell me your

707
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 3: your current coach has won three EI their last sixteen

708
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 3: SEC games, They're lost their last four to South Carolina

709
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 3: in a row. They're sixteenth out of sixteen in the SEC.

710
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 3: They're the worst team in the SEC right now? How

711
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 3: can you be supportive? I guess that's what the lot

712
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: of fans are saying right now.

713
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think that's a fair argument, and I totally

714
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 4: understand it. I would say this that that I think

715
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 4: I think in the last I think our defense has

716
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 4: been good enough to win a lot more games than

717
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 4: we've won. I think our offense is is where we

718
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 4: struggled at the Stoops is a defensive guy. Yeah, and

719
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 4: it's so I'm making the argument you asked me to make.

720
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 3: Yes.

721
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 4: The other part of it too is and I had

722
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 4: somebody mentioned this to me. You know, let's say, Okay,

723
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 4: you're gonna fire Stoops and you're gonna pay the thirty

724
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 4: something million dollars that's going to deplete whatever you that's

725
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 4: supposed to be going into your NIL. And so now

726
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 4: now we're in this world of college sports where it's like,

727
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 4: if you really want to pay the buy out, that's fine,

728
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 4: But where's the money gonna come from the nil? Because

729
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 4: you got to have that kinda have And so you know,

730
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 4: the flip side of it is, hey, instead of us

731
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 4: firing you and paying you thirty eight million dollars, we're

732
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 4: gonna give you ten million bucks next year for nil

733
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 4: and let's see what we can do with it. And

734
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 4: I don't know how that works, but I'm just saying

735
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 4: in this world, you know, if you go out and

736
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 4: you I mean, look at Old miss the quarterback they

737
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 4: got from the D two school that's doing so well. Yeah,

738
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 4: you go out and get the right player, you can

739
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 4: make a huge difference. But again, I understand from a

740
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 4: fan perspective, I understand like that things got to change,

741
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 4: Things got to get better one way or another. But

742
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 4: but they got to get better. That's we all agree

743
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 4: on that. It's just how you go about doing it.

744
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 5: I don't think they'll really fill it over at the

745
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 5: stadium until maybe the end of the year because the

746
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 5: schedule bails them out a little bit to actually see.

747
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 5: You know, if we played Eastern Michigan in a week,

748
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 5: I think you'd see a lot of bleachers. But you

749
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 5: have Georgia, then you have what Tennessee and Texas. I

750
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 5: think that'll be full, even if it's mostly orange and

751
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 5: burnt and orange. So you won't actually fill the fan

752
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 5: disappointment until you have Florida later in the year.

753
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 6: So they're bailed out a little bit.

754
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 5: If you had a Toledo or Tennessee Tech or one

755
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 5: of these games at noon coming up, I think the

756
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 5: fans would be sending a message coming up very soon.

757
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 5: But with those two be in the games Keenland season,

758
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 5: people have already playing weekends around that. I think they're

759
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 5: kind of lucky. They won't actually feel it over at

760
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 5: Kroger Field if it stays on this course still later

761
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 5: in the year.

762
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 4: That's a really good point.

763
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 3: So how do how can they save it? How can

764
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: they save the fan because basketball is coming up, people

765
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 3: are gonna switch to basketball. How do you save keep

766
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 3: the fans in in in interested in what's going on

767
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 3: on the football field.

768
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you gotta figure out you gotta fix

769
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 4: the offense because because you know to that point, the

770
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 4: fans are gonna show up for these games. Hey, if

771
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 4: you go out there and you lose to Georgia thirty

772
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 4: five to twenty eight, but we we're out there scoring

773
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 4: points and it's a great game. But the fans are in.

774
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 4: I think most of them are gonna be happy about that.

775
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna celebrate. And you got the fact

776
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 4: that like, hey, we got a young guy cutter, we're

777
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 4: rolling with him. We're gonna do some bumps and bruises,

778
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 4: but we're growing him for the future. But I think

779
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, what they have to do,

780
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 4: offense gotta start scoring some points. And they gotta and

781
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 4: I think they gotta. They gotta do that through the air,

782
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 4: and I don't I don't know all the ways and

783
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 4: how they're gonna do that, because I don't know what

784
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 4: their system is, but I think they got to. I

785
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 4: think they got to. The offense has to come alive.

786
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 4: And I think if the offense does come alive and

787
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 4: they can go out there and compete, I don't think

788
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 4: it's I think that's one of the more one of

789
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 4: the hardest things for the fan base is that it's

790
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 4: not that it's not that we've we've lost some of

791
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 4: these games against teams that are really tough. Is that

792
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 4: How competitive were we in some of these games? And

793
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: I think if we can go out there and compete

794
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 4: and listen, you know, we used to say that in

795
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 4: the Mummy days. You know, we won six games a

796
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 4: year and people were thrilled.

797
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 3: It's having parties naming streets after the man over there.

798
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 4: But but we could, but we could. You know, we

799
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 4: might lose, but it'd be forty to forty five, you know,

800
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 4: and that's a lot more fun for a fan in

801
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 4: a stadium than twenty eight seven.

802
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 5: And of all the teams to play next, I mean,

803
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 5: you have played Georgia close, Like, yeah, Georgia when you

804
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 5: lose by one last year, I think they lost by

805
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 5: two or three h three years before or two years

806
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 5: before that. You know, I don't know that I'll expect

807
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 5: that this year. I mean, you got Georgia coming off

808
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 5: of a loss, which is unique. They're going to be dialed.

809
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 3: In lost at home, and now you got hosting US.

810
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 5: And I don't know that a moral victory could save

811
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 5: anything right now, but it is so how do you say?

812
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 5: I hate saying george is a good matchup, but their

813
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 5: style of play can't allow you to at least not

814
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 5: get smoked in this game, which would which would might

815
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 5: have people hang on another week.

816
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 4: For whatever reason, we've always played Georgia will Yeah, that's

817
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 4: just one of the teams we've played well, and that's

818
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 4: South Carolina. For whatever reason, that's not the team that

819
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 4: we've played.

820
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 3: We did though for so long we won like, what

821
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 3: was it, eight out of nine, and now they've won

822
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 3: the last four in a row.

823
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 5: Turnovers flipped that and Stoops and Kirby are really close.

824
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 5: Not that Kirby's gonna let up, you know, he's trying

825
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 5: to win a national championship and they've lost, but that

826
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 5: might play into it a little bit. Style of plays

827
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 5: kind of similar. They're obviously on a complete other level

828
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 5: of talent, But uh, if Kentucky can hang in, I'm

829
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 5: in no way saying they're gonna win, but at least

830
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 5: play Georgia close like they have many times in the

831
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 5: past when they were a big underdog. Maybe you can

832
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 5: keep fans somewhat interested to see if Cutter can turn

833
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 5: it around.

834
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 4: Beyond that, I think you're I think you hit the

835
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 4: nail on the head when you talk about style of

836
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 4: play with Georgia, because a lot of times when Georgia

837
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 4: comes in here, it's in a colder month, the weather's

838
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 4: not good, and and they're just they run the ball

839
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 4: and play good defense, and once they get up by fourteen,

840
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 4: they're just trying to get the game over with, you know.

841
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 4: And so I think that style of play we match

842
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 4: up really well with because that's what we try to do,

843
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 4: is we try to run the ball and play good defense.

844
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 6: It's probably gonna want to kill us after losing that.

845
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 3: That's what I'm afraid of.

846
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 6: First needed Georgian and probably whin that mad.

847
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: As a hornet we walk in there on Saturday. You know,

848
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: this is I think it's the apathy is something that's

849
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 3: It's not just started. It's been going on for the

850
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: last couple of years. You know, they can't win an

851
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 3: SEC home game, the Georgia game last year, he didn't

852
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 3: going on fourth down. The Missouri game. Was that three

853
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 3: or four years ago. They're just kind of stuff's been

854
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 3: kind of building, this apathy and now it's all come

855
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 3: to a head. That's why I wanted to ask you guys,

856
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: how can they stop it? How can they save it?

857
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 3: And I like what you said about, well, fix the offense,

858
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: score some points, get us a little hopeful for Cutter

859
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 3: as our future quarterback.

860
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think at this point, I mean,

861
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 4: you got nothing to lose. You gotta let it rip,

862
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 4: you know, And I think that. But but again, you know,

863
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,479
Speaker 4: how how do they can can they can they do that?

864
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 4: Can they pull it off where they can go? Hell,

865
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 4: you know what, We're gonna go out there and score

866
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 4: thirty five points. That's just what we're gonna do. We're

867
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 4: gonna let it rip and we're gonna absolutely attack on offense.

868
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 4: And you know, you don't. You can't completely get away

869
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 4: from the run game because we're so good at it.

870
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 4: But I mean I would, I would go out there

871
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 4: and be like, hey, look this is you know, and

872
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 4: you gotta be careful too, because as a coach you can't.

873
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 4: I can say things on the radio that a coach

874
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 4: can't say in the locker room, Like you can't say, hey,

875
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 4: look this is about We're gonna go out here and

876
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,959
Speaker 4: we're just gonna attack. We're gonna score a bunch of points.

877
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,479
Speaker 4: We're gonna get Cutter really ready for next year. Can't

878
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 4: do that because a senior that's sitting there is going,

879
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 4: wait a minute, what about me? Yeah, you know, you

880
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 4: can't say that. And I don't think it's just that,

881
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 4: but I think at this point, what do you have

882
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: to lose? And I think that's the way you I mean,

883
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 4: you ask for the answer to the question of you know,

884
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 4: how can you get the fans to re engage? And

885
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 4: I think that's one way you can other than going

886
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 4: out and winning a bunch of ball games.

887
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 6: I know not everybody watching the Titans. In fact you shouldn't.

888
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm the only one, but there's so many comparisons

889
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 5: with them, every with Kentucky and the Titans, and like

890
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 5: this year, I'm watching the Titans. We have a rookie quarterback.

891
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 5: People want to see what we have for the future.

892
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 5: Nobody knows we're not making the playoffs. Okay, third and four,

893
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 5: why don't we just go for it? We get why not,

894
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 5: Let's see what we have, Let's have some fun. I

895
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 5: feel the same way about Kentucky. At this point, you

896
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 5: needed to beat Ole miss or South Carolina to really

897
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 5: want to get back to a Bowl game.

898
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 6: I think everyone can agree.

899
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 5: This isn't gonna be some special season that they're gonna

900
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 5: flip a switch. So moving forward, let's take some shots,

901
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 5: Let's gamble a little bit, let's see what we have.

902
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 5: We're all on the same page as it doesn't look

903
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 5: good right now. I know Stoops can't just abandon his

904
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 5: philosophy and get reckless. But let's play with a little

905
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 5: aggression and see what we have and at least give

906
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 5: Cutter a few more opportunities to prove that he can

907
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 5: be the guy on down the road.

908
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 6: Maybe they will.

909
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 3: We got one more segment with Dusty Bonner. He's been

910

Speaker 3: you some question, Dusty, So let's get to him real quick. Shannon,

934
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 3: who we got first?

935
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 6: All right, let's go to Mike.

936
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 3: Mike, go ahead, and you're own. Dusty Bonner, Good morning.

937
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 7: I really don't have a question. This statement. Two weeks

938
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 7: to prepare and this is what we get. We don't

939
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 7: even really have a chance to win the game. And

940
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 7: then if we look to compare to other schools, Stoops

941
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 7: has gather foundation here, he's been here a while two

942
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 7: years time. What Indiana has done and what little brother

943
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 7: has done. Are we being too hard. I don't blame

944
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 7: the quarter.

945
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 3: I appreciate it, Okay, appreciate what you think about that, Dusty.

946
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 4: I mean I understand that he's upset about it. I

947
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 4: mean I get it. I mean he's he's got a point.

948
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 4: It's not it's not going in the right direction. Yeah,

949
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 4: you know.

950
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 3: And it's when other schools seem to be going.

951
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 4: Seemed to be Yeah, And I think that makes it,

952
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 4: That makes it all the world. And so I think

953
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 4: it's at the end of the day, something something has

954
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 4: to change, and it's it's we'll see, it's gotta change, though, Shan.

955
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 3: Who's next. Let's go to j C. J C. Go ahead,

956
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 3: j C.

957
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, thanks, thanks.

958
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 8: Well. Uh, he forgot to mention Vanderbilt in too lane, And.

959
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 4: That's true.

960
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:53,760
Speaker 3: Other schools that turned it around.

961
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 4: Pretty quick, right.

962
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 8: Uh. I just don't understand, uh something. You can look

963
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 8: at them as several of them, particular the teams we

964
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 8: just mentioned as they all they have dual threat quarterbacks

965
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 8: and student's insistence on being a pro style offense. Being

966
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 8: a little Georgia ain't gonna work. I mean, I just

967
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 8: get sick, and it's like we have a good defense,

968
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 8: take care of the defense. Hire an exciting, explosive offensive

969
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 8: coordinator and let him do his job. It's likely when

970
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 8: mommy was coach is like, oh my gosh, offense is great.

971
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 8: Just hire a defensive coordinator and let him do his job.

972
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 8: I just get so frustrated. I appreciate your appreciate it.

973
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 3: Thank you.

974
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 4: JC so. So one of the downsides are one of

975
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 4: the knocks on like the mummy style air rai type offense,

976
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 4: and this is kind of throughout college football, is that

977
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 4: you know, it's great when it works, and it's really

978
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 4: bad for the defense when it doesn't. You know, when

979
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 4: you go three and out and the defense out there,

980
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 4: the defenses on the field the whole time, and so

981
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 4: a lot of these you know, if you look at

982
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 4: the some of the bigger coaches in the SEC, like

983
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 4: they really got away from that and they really went

984
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 4: more to kind of the run game, playing good defense.

985
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 4: Now those schools have opened up their offenses more because

986
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 4: they realized they had to. There came a point I

987
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 4: think Nick Saban kind of made some comments about this,

988
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 4: but you know where you had to change the style

989
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 4: of your offense because running the ball and scoring twenty

990
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 4: one points wasn't gonna want you couldn't. The offenses were

991
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 4: so good, the defenses couldn't hold them to twenty one

992
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 4: points anymore. And so you do have to adjust. I

993
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 4: don't think you have to go all the way to

994
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 4: the air RAI Hey, I'm a big fan of the

995
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 4: air raid. I like it a lot. Thet Yeah, and

996
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 4: I mean, and again from a fan perspective, I mean,

997
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 4: you know, if you're in every game you play, I

998
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 4: think that's what a lot of the fans want, you know,

999
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 4: they want to see that. But but uh, to the

1000
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 4: college point, I mean, you know, it's I think we've

1001
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 4: we've been hopeful on the different offense coordators that it

1002
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 4: was going to turn into something more than what it's been.

1003
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 4: But you know, it's something. Something's got to get better.

1004
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 4: They got to figure something out. And they know that.

1005
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 4: They don't need me to tell them that. But we've

1006
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 4: got to be able to pass them. You got to

1007
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 4: be able to do both. You got to be able

1008
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 4: to run the ball, but you got to be able

1009
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 4: to pass the ball. You got at the end of

1010
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 4: the day, in this in today's sec you gotta be

1011
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 4: you gotta be capable of score and score in thirty

1012
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 4: five points to have a chance to win most of

1013
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 4: your games.

1014
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 5: Will levis Is don't grow on trees. But we saw

1015
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 5: how fun it was when you had a guy that

1016
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 5: could do a both. Yeah, especially at WANDELL. If there's

1017
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 5: any of those laying around too, When God get more.

1018
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 4: Of those, those don't hurt, and the wandlle's don't hurt,

1019
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 4: you could get open.

1020
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 3: Let's get one more call before we go to the break, Shaan?

1021
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 3: Who we got?

1022
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 4: Andy?

1023
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 3: Andy, you got about a minute?

1024
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 9: Okay? If if we get finished three and nine, which

1025
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 9: it seems very likely, and Mitch does not pay the buyout,

1026
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 9: and that seems very likely, what does more stukes do?

1027
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 9: I mean, the schedule is going to get nothing but harder,

1028
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 9: going to nine games next year. I mean, how about

1029
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 9: where his mental health is even one sick with the

1030
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 9: fan base is checked out and has no faith in

1031
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 9: it for another year of this. I mean, I think

1032
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 9: that's a realistic question.

1033
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 4: Appreciate it, Andy, Yeah, you know, I think that's tough.

1034
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 4: I think you know that'd be hard as a head coach.

1035
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 4: And it's kind of something that's been created with the

1036
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 4: way these buyouts are on the way nil is now

1037
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 4: is where maybe they stay longer than what they normally

1038
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 4: would have. But you know, again, if it were me

1039
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 4: and this is this is not I'm not taking a

1040
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 4: shot at anybody. But if it were me and they

1041
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 4: were gonna sign me back up for next year, we

1042
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 4: finished three and nine, they're gonna sign me back up

1043
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 4: for next year, I'd have to. I'd probably go find

1044
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 4: that huge name offensive coordinator and then just recruit around

1045
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 4: that like crazy, from quarterbacks and receivers and playmaker type guys.

1046
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 4: And then I'd look at the athletic director and I'd

1047
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 4: say I need some money. I need some help, and

1048
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be silent if I don't get it.
