Speaker 3: my tickets for? This is what this is the thing.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna tell you what I spend for the year.
Speaker 3: It's too much, but I still do it. But I
Speaker 3: get a big chunk of it, or at least, you know,
Speaker 3: a nice chunk of it back.
Speaker 4: Guess what those seats you've said in them? Guess what
Speaker 4: I sold them for for op.
Speaker 5: Man, I know how big Opening Day is up in Cincinnati,
Speaker 5: so I'm gonna say, you sold them for nine hundred piece.
Speaker 3: Any think I already know the answer unfortunately, So yeah,
Speaker 3: I sold them for six hundred and fifty dollars a piece.
Speaker 5: That's good.
Speaker 4: That's thirteen hundred dollars for one game.
Speaker 2: It's got to put a big dent in your in
Speaker 2: your season is It certainly helps.
Speaker 3: And then you know when the Yankees, you combine selling
Speaker 3: Opening Day with whenever the Red Sox and Yankees come,
Speaker 3: and then if at the end of the year the
Speaker 3: Cubs the Cardinals are in contention, you get you can
Speaker 3: get you can get a nice little chunk of it back,
Speaker 3: and then I just go watch them play the Diamondbacks
Speaker 3: like fifty times and then I'm good.
Speaker 5: Well, it should be an awesome day. The weather's supposed
Speaker 5: to be perfect for Opening Day up there, so I
Speaker 5: know it's.
Speaker 3: A field for people who haven't been it's an absolute circus.
Speaker 3: If you've never been open, you should go. I mean
Speaker 3: you don't even have to go to the game. It's kind
Speaker 3: of like Secville. It's just but it is a circus.
Speaker 3: You have a parade through town, and I mean they
Speaker 3: really do it up. It's hard to explain, Like think
Speaker 3: about Nashville, but you have like a fourth of the space,
Speaker 3: you know, I mean there's not even that much space,
Speaker 3: and it's just people everywhere and they're just sweat. So
Speaker 3: I'm making it sound miserable. It's it is actually fun
Speaker 3: and hopefully they'll win. I get to see Hunter Green
Speaker 3: pitch in Eli and today the Giants, Okay, I don't
Speaker 3: and I don't know who's on the Giants, Barry Bonds,
Speaker 3: Will Clark, I think, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know who.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do like the the optimism every year in
Speaker 2: the Red You know you have a losing record, yet
Speaker 2: you're you're in contention today.
Speaker 3: Well, Summer Valley, right, we've got Matt McLean's back. Yes,
Speaker 3: little Spencer Steer, Uh, you got Christian and Carson. You
Speaker 3: own strand. They brought a couple new guys in. Somebody
Speaker 3: named Lux, Somebody named singer. So uh, I think with that,
Speaker 3: how could you lose?
Speaker 5: We look forward to hear all your belly aching in
Speaker 5: the next month or so.
Speaker 4: I'll be done with him to it. If they lose,
Speaker 4: I'm out. I have a memory of a story.
Speaker 2: It is an opening day where you like ran over
Speaker 2: an old lady or an old lady ran over you walking.
Speaker 4: Something happened there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, tripped up. Yeah, there was an old lady.
Speaker 3: She kind of ran over me, which I thought was
Speaker 3: rude of her. Got her feet tangled. But it's okay.
Speaker 3: You know, I just have to What I have to
Speaker 3: do on today is it's the most crowded day of
Speaker 3: the year in there. I just have to accept this
Speaker 3: is not gonna go the way I want it to.
Speaker 3: So I just have to. You know, there's amongst them,
Speaker 3: there's people everywhere, and you just go from there.
Speaker 2: In a four o'clock game, you could stay to the
Speaker 2: end and still get home in plenty of time.
Speaker 4: Or will this be one stay at the end? Yeah?
Speaker 3: This is just more of a social gather. Okay, Hubby's coming.
Speaker 3: We'll be with Tall. Usually a Turkey under goes. He's
Speaker 3: not there this year. But it's more of a social gathering.
Speaker 3: Then it is a baseball game. Oh one year, Remember
Speaker 3: that guy almost got a fight. The guy started screaming
Speaker 3: at me. Remember he started yelling. That's what happens when you.
Speaker 4: Get out in the outfields.
Speaker 5: People start screaming when you get out amongst them.
Speaker 3: When you get out amongst them, make sure it's all
Speaker 3: has a snoopy shirt. Run whose phone is ringing? One
Speaker 3: of you has your phone ring?
Speaker 5: I think that's the restaurant phone.
Speaker 3: Oh, the restaurant phone. Okay, well you could come out
Speaker 3: to chs Bar.
Speaker 4: We're here.
Speaker 3: We had a great crowd here yesterday from Adair County.
Speaker 3: I can already tell Davis County's gonna have a good showing.
Speaker 3: We got Moco in the house for the first time.
Speaker 3: And what since twenty thirteen, since twenty thirteen, so should
Speaker 3: be good line upsets. Yesterday, Sweet sixteen preseason favorite, after
Speaker 3: we stole their internet shinnon sint.
Speaker 4: X gets knocked out. That's a huge They hadn't lost
Speaker 4: all year in the state of Kentucky.
Speaker 5: I think that really threw them off when we stole
Speaker 5: their internet cable. It just threw the whole team, radio
Speaker 5: crew off, the coaches off, the team off, But I
Speaker 5: only thought they would beat Jefersontown. I thought they'd win,
Speaker 5: like by twenty.
Speaker 4: Was a huge upset. The old Man line was nine
Speaker 4: and a half.
Speaker 3: Wow, and uh and Jaytown wins, So now you know,
Speaker 3: great Crossing is probably the favorite. But if they were
Speaker 3: to lose, the thing might be like totally up for grabs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all picked Saint X. That's pretty shocking. But
Speaker 2: what's up? Jay Town has a player that played for
Speaker 2: Huntington Prep this year and transferred a month ago. Can
Speaker 2: you switch teams midyear in high school?
Speaker 4: We don't. We don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: Okay, it looks great and good for them, It's unfortunate
Speaker 2: for the Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 4: Then the two biggest fan base.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know A Dare County brought a million
Speaker 3: people lost, Sat next had a ton of people lost,
Speaker 3: and uh, you know you guys, I think uh at
Speaker 3: Callaway County had a ton of people lost. So they've
Speaker 3: lost some of their big fan bases. But no private schools.
Speaker 3: All private schools are out. This is the this is
Speaker 3: fourteen are excuse me? Twelve public schools remain. That's never happened.
Speaker 3: There's it has been like twenty five years since they've
Speaker 3: gotten to the quarterfinals with no private schools.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Danvil Christian also lost all the two private schools
Speaker 5: that made it. Those kids now can go play soccers
Speaker 5: soccer if.
Speaker 4: They want to.
Speaker 5: But uh, you know, the public schools are making resurgence.
Speaker 5: Last year we had Harlan County, Lion County in the finals.
Speaker 5: Now it's all public school tournament, and I think a
Speaker 5: lot of people that's still kind of a big deal
Speaker 5: to them.
Speaker 2: Say next was the big story from yesterday. But that
Speaker 2: first game that we got to see was awesome and
Speaker 2: Dare Bowling Green.
Speaker 3: I watched all that at Dare Bowing Green game. That
Speaker 3: was a really really exciting game, ribbling.
Speaker 2: It out with like forty seconds and they waited to
Speaker 2: call it time.
Speaker 4: I don't know what they were doing.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they were doing at the end
Speaker 3: of regulation. That coach was for people who didn't see.
Speaker 3: They got the ball, it was tied with forty seconds
Speaker 3: left and he just held it and then call time
Speaker 3: out with three seconds.
Speaker 2: It feels like you should have given him so still
Speaker 2: had a good look and a good chance at the tip.
Speaker 2: In Bowling greended up winning Your Boy Duce Bailey with
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 5: He Bailey hit the game winner. Yeah, best athlete in
Speaker 5: the state right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, according to you.
Speaker 3: All right, So Kentucky, excuse me, Kentucky and Tennessee Sweet
Speaker 3: sixteen starts, Uh tonight, you got We'll do some picks
Speaker 3: later on and then Kentucky and Tennessee tomorrow night, seven
Speaker 3: thirty nine on TBA. I'm starting to think there's gonna
Speaker 3: be an overwhelming amount of blue. I mean I went
Speaker 3: ahead and got my parents their tickets last night. I just,
Speaker 3: you know, felt like it was time because the ticket
Speaker 3: prices are only going up, are they Yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: sometimes they bounce back down before they so far. No,
Speaker 3: they did release some more tickets. So if you, I
Speaker 3: would actually say, right now, if you're okay sitting in
Speaker 3: the rafters, if you go to the official ticket Master
Speaker 3: resale site, they released some more tickets yesterday, and so
Speaker 3: those tickets are like one hundred and fifty dollars. Now
Speaker 3: you're gonna need a like a mountain climbing suit to
Speaker 3: get up there.
Speaker 4: If you just want to go.
Speaker 3: Those tickets got released yesterday and I looked this morning
Speaker 3: they're still there. So there are there are some tickets
Speaker 3: up in the nosebleeds, go right now and get them.
Speaker 3: I bet they'll be gone soon. But the rest of
Speaker 3: it's going to be expensive. But I think, Drew, we're
Speaker 3: gonna have a huge fania.
Speaker 4: I think so too.
Speaker 2: I think of everyone I know is making the trip,
Speaker 2: and with the new tickets released, just you might not
Speaker 2: have the best vantage point, but just being in the
Speaker 2: building will go away long way for a lot of people.
Speaker 2: I know people that are just gonna drive up and
Speaker 2: not go to the game. So I think if you
Speaker 2: just want to get in the door, it's gotten too
Speaker 2: a place where you can afford a little bit.
Speaker 4: The energy for people.
Speaker 3: Again, you know, obviously we could lose, they're the favorites,
Speaker 3: but the energy for an NCAA tournament game, you know,
Speaker 3: even when I leave, there's something.
Speaker 4: To be said, Brian, for that energy right before the
Speaker 4: game starts.
Speaker 3: Yep, you know that those ten minutes before, like, it
Speaker 3: gets you, It gets you energized, and then when they win,
Speaker 3: it's just the best. I mean, when they win, I
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's tough when you're the first game
Speaker 3: because then the second game comes on and they make
Speaker 3: you get off the court, and so you don't get
Speaker 3: to celebrate quite as much.
Speaker 4: They had to.
Speaker 3: Really, they had to kick Mark Pope off the court
Speaker 3: from the game in round two. But it is there
Speaker 3: is something amazing about being in there, and then you
Speaker 3: throw in playing ten to see it's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 5: That ten minutes leading up the tip off is really
Speaker 5: some of the best times of the of the night.
Speaker 5: Totally agree with you, know, especially since Tennessee they're gonna
Speaker 5: have a ton of fans there. Also, there'll be a
Speaker 5: lot of booing. Will boo them, they'll boo us, So
Speaker 5: it'll be it'll be pretty exciting, and I hope you
Speaker 5: can force yourself to stay there a little while to
Speaker 5: enjoy it.
Speaker 4: So how do you feel? I can't. I can go
Speaker 4: ahead and tell you that, how do you feel about
Speaker 4: the game? Like, how are you are? Are you feeling
Speaker 4: good vibes about about winning?
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I'm feeling very good, which kind of scares me
Speaker 2: in itself. I add more nerves about Illinois right now
Speaker 2: than I do about the time.
Speaker 3: Sir, you got to turn this way. I can't look
Speaker 3: at your Yeah, I can't look at your back the
Speaker 3: whole show. Okay, this is a you're cee you got
Speaker 3: you there you go. I can't look I see your shirt,
Speaker 3: but I can't look at your back.
Speaker 4: That's that. That's that's okay, now go ahead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually thought i'd be a little more nervous,
Speaker 2: you know, being Tennessee should be, even though I think
Speaker 2: Kentucky has just as good a chance that Tennessee does
Speaker 2: to win this game. The the thought of losing to
Speaker 2: them should scare me more than it is right now.
Speaker 2: But I'm oddly very confident. I know people getting mad
Speaker 2: when I get too confident, because they're very confident. You've
Speaker 2: been very confident since like the matchup the Rick Barnes
Speaker 2: powered versus high powered offense like a bam urged or
Speaker 2: Kentucky just hadn't worked out well for him.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: They shot terribly in their first two games this season
Speaker 2: that Kentucky won. If they do that again, I think
Speaker 2: Kentucky really has a good chance. But just overall, they
Speaker 2: struggle to keep up with teams that can score a
Speaker 2: lot of points.
Speaker 3: I saw some dorky dude on TikTok, but a smart one.
Speaker 3: He was breaking down Kentucky's offense against Tennessee, and he
Speaker 3: basically broke down both games and said both games they
Speaker 3: got whatever shot they wanted and essentially argued we could
Speaker 3: have beaten them by more in the game in Lexington,
Speaker 3: we just missed a lot of open shots. But he
Speaker 3: showed possession after possession, and he's like, Kentucky gets whatever
Speaker 3: they want. Because the way Kentucky plays offense, Tennessee just
Speaker 3: cannot defend it. That high pick, they just cannot defend it.
Speaker 3: They're a step slow. Maybe they're not used to working
Speaker 3: on it. And he said, unless something's changed, Kentucky's just
Speaker 3: gonna do it again. They did it in Knoxville, Tennessee
Speaker 3: came to Lexington, they did it again and just got
Speaker 3: open shot after open shot after open shots.
Speaker 4: So I felt better after watching that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, especially that game down in Knoxville, Jackson, Robinson and
Speaker 5: Kobe Braya were just getting shots all other players and
Speaker 5: they hit him.
Speaker 4: But his point was against Lexington, we got the same shots.
Speaker 4: We just didn't make it.
Speaker 5: Didn't make them, so they got it. They got to
Speaker 5: hit the shots. I'm a little scared that Ziggler or Lanier,
Speaker 5: one of the two guys will get hot because they've
Speaker 5: been so shot so poorly against It's the first two
Speaker 5: first two games. One of those two guys I haven't
Speaker 5: just that's what scares me.
Speaker 3: But remember at Knoxville. Yes, those two guys shot poorly,
Speaker 3: but Gainey played great. And then the Egor or what
Speaker 3: is that his name? I always call you that.
Speaker 4: Igor guys had two great games against head.
Speaker 3: I mean, so you gotta think if people want to
Speaker 3: say Lanier and and Ziegor will play well, you gotta
Speaker 3: think those guys maybe take a step back.
Speaker 4: They've played great against us. Well.
Speaker 2: Ziegler usually plays pretty poorly. Been in rupp Arena. He
Speaker 2: had seventeen and went seventeen seven of ten from the field,
Speaker 2: and they still lost by eleven. So even when he
Speaker 2: has a big game, Kentucky's just able to put up
Speaker 2: a lot more points. They had like sixty four that game,
Speaker 2: still getting a lot from Ziegler and militip oll Y.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about what happens if we win, okay, because
Speaker 3: you know you like to dream. If we beat Tennessee
Speaker 3: in the Sweet sixteen in Mark Pope's first year to
Speaker 3: go to the Elite eight in Indianapolis, that has to
Speaker 3: rank as one of the great non final four wins
Speaker 3: in UK history.
Speaker 4: Don't you think?
Speaker 5: I think it does, and it's this guy in this
Speaker 5: team that came in just so underrated, undervalued, and if
Speaker 5: they are able to get to the Elite eight after
Speaker 5: you beat Tennessee for the third a Tennessee team that
Speaker 5: was number we forget they were number one in the
Speaker 5: country for a short time. That's amazing.
Speaker 3: I tend to think the twenty if you if you
Speaker 3: were to go in my lifetime non final four wins,
Speaker 3: you know in ninety three when we just blenched those
Speaker 3: teams Wake Forest and Florida State, then I think twenty
Speaker 3: fourteen beating beating Louisville in twenty fourteen might be number
Speaker 3: one for me. With in Louisville, excuse me, in Indianapolis
Speaker 3: beating Louisville, I think this one will get up there.
Speaker 3: If you were to beat Tennessee in a game like.
Speaker 2: This, oh absolutely, it'd be very high on my list.
Speaker 2: And the season as a whole will be one of
Speaker 2: my favorites. Because you're telling me Mark Popena his first year,
Speaker 2: beat Duke in the Champions Classics, something we haven't done
Speaker 2: in a long time. Louisville a very good Florida team
Speaker 2: and beat Tennessee three times, one of them in the
Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen, because that's that's up there with one of
Speaker 2: my favorite seasons ever. If he's able to pull it off,
Speaker 2: and even if they don't make it to the final four.
Speaker 4: Totally agree with you. Eight five nine two eight oh
Speaker 4: twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 3: We are at the Chaos Bar and grill I got
Speaker 3: my guy to flip around so I didn't have to
Speaker 3: look at his back. He was hosting his own talk
Speaker 3: show at the bar. But we're gonna take a break
Speaker 3: and we're gonna be here. Good Sweet sixteen crowd.
Speaker 4: Ready to go. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome Mack.
Speaker 3: It is Kentucky Sports Radio here at Chaos mar grill
Speaker 3: An Opening Day eight five nine two eight oh twenty
Speaker 3: two eighty seven.
Speaker 4: Text Machine seven seven two seven to seven four five
Speaker 4: two five four.
Speaker 3: We will have all the Sweet sixteen games here on
Speaker 3: the h on the big screen today. We'll also have
Speaker 3: the Reds on That game is at four o'clock. One
Speaker 3: person writes, man, I don't think you're a real Reds fan.
Speaker 3: It always annoys me when you talk about it because
Speaker 3: it's clear you're a casual and some of us have
Speaker 3: done it for life.
Speaker 4: Well that's fine, but I do give.
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like I pay for a fourth
Speaker 3: of Lie De la Cruz's salary. And then but also
Speaker 3: I don't claim to be an expert, but I can
Speaker 3: tell you their rotation Hunter Green, Nick Ladolo, Nick Martinez,
Speaker 3: Brady Singer, and Carson Spears.
Speaker 2: Seems like a fan of me. You go to a
Speaker 2: lot of games.
Speaker 4: I go.
Speaker 3: I bet I go to more games, and I watch
Speaker 3: not all of them, but I watch a ton of them.
Speaker 3: It's hard to watch them, by the way, now they're
Speaker 3: on you have to subscribe, like it's so complicated.
Speaker 5: Fan shame you you're a fan.
Speaker 3: Speaking of fan shaming, Matt, are you gonna leave the
Speaker 3: arena in Indianapolis with your parents in the building.
Speaker 5: Yes, they can take care of themselves. They're growing a dog.
Speaker 4: I mean I'm gonna get them to their seat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I'll make sure that when it's over,
Speaker 3: I help them go away. Not going away, but like it,
Speaker 3: get like leave the arena. But no, I mean, I
Speaker 3: you know, I bought them seats. I don't have a
Speaker 3: seat up there. I still have my media credentials.
Speaker 4: So have you.
Speaker 2: Scouted out the local banks, picked a good spot to
Speaker 2: pop in? And watch the game. Maybe a hotel lobby.
Speaker 4: How I'll see.
Speaker 3: Remember I remember the workout room in the hotel where
Speaker 3: I watched the twenty fourteen games.
Speaker 6: Okay you remember, Yeah, that's right. I will go back there, Yes,
Speaker 6: because I worked at fifteen. I tried to watch it
Speaker 6: in my hotel and we lost. I'm gonna go back
Speaker 6: to the original workout room. Although I worry now somebody's
Speaker 6: gonna coup looking and figure out which one it is.
Speaker 2: But they you gotta get a hotel key to get
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 5: You're gonna be staying there.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. I'll figure it out. I'll figure out. Now.
Speaker 3: I want to be in there until tips. I want
Speaker 3: to feel that energy, that energy before the game. And
Speaker 3: I would say, you know, our pregame show will be
Speaker 3: at five, it's over at six. If you're in Indianapolis,
Speaker 3: even if you don't go to the pregame show, get
Speaker 3: in there early so you can that energy leading up
Speaker 3: to the game is really, in my opinion, what it's
Speaker 3: kind of all about.
Speaker 5: And just soak it all up because this is pretty special.
Speaker 5: Like we said, you know, the Kentucky fans, we're we're
Speaker 5: we're more than just kind of happy to be there.
Speaker 5: I think all the pressures on Tennessee. They're the higher seed,
Speaker 5: they're the team that's you know, was supposed to make
Speaker 5: them a big run this year, and maybe Rick Barnes
Speaker 5: last season.
Speaker 4: You know that.
Speaker 3: You keep hearing the Rick Barnes thing. We'll figure out
Speaker 3: if that's uh, if that's it later on. Let's quickly
Speaker 3: go through from Draft Kings. Uh, you could bat five
Speaker 3: dollars get twohundred dollars in bonus bets if you're a
Speaker 3: new customer at Draft Kings promo code KSR. Let's look
Speaker 3: at the games tonight right a second, all right, you
Speaker 3: make your They start tonight? First game BYU Alabama. This
Speaker 3: is in Newark. Alabama is a five and a half
Speaker 3: point favorite, Mormons versus Tide.
Speaker 4: What do you got?
Speaker 2: I like the Mormons to at least cover the spread,
Speaker 2: and I don't know what the total is, but this
Speaker 2: game's going over.
Speaker 4: I think this is gonna be a one to seventy
Speaker 4: six point five.
Speaker 2: It's a big number. Uh maybe not Okay, regardless, I
Speaker 2: still like BYU to give him a good game, but
Speaker 2: Alabama squeaks it out in the end.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this could be one hundred to one hundred and five.
Speaker 5: But Alabama's gonna win roll tide.
Speaker 3: I think they win. I think b WYU is good,
Speaker 3: but this is a game. I feel like this game
Speaker 3: like I did Arkansas Saint John's b YU ain't seen
Speaker 3: dudes as athletic as this, right, and this is gonna
Speaker 3: This is a different level of athleticism. And while they're good,
Speaker 3: I kind of think Alabama's gonna do to be Why
Speaker 3: you what they do to us when they play us?
Speaker 3: You know how they just kinda we just can't keep
Speaker 3: up with them, dudes. I just think they got better dudes.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna take Alabama, Florida and Maryland. Derrick Queen
Speaker 3: has become the sort of star of the tournament with
Speaker 3: his how'd you get the guts to make that shot?
Speaker 4: And he said I'm from Baltimore. That was the end
Speaker 4: of which is a great answer Crab five versus the Gators.
Speaker 2: So did you see what Queen said when they asked
Speaker 2: him why he likes playing for Willard?
Speaker 4: Pays me, He pays me, That's why he like playing
Speaker 4: for will Willard.
Speaker 2: Put his hands in his uh, put his head in
Speaker 2: his hands, just looking down. He pays me, I feel
Speaker 2: like Florida's got another gear that they still haven't hit yet,
Speaker 2: and I think tonights tonight.
Speaker 3: This is not better than night. Florida runs them off
Speaker 3: and Willard seems to have a foot up six and
Speaker 3: a half. To me, this is the gimme of the night.
Speaker 3: Florida runs him off the court.
Speaker 5: Although I do like the nickname Crab five, great name,
Speaker 5: but I'm picking Florida.
Speaker 4: Arizona and Duke.
Speaker 3: Duke played earlier this year at Arizona and it was
Speaker 3: close game, but Duke won.
Speaker 4: Duke's a nine and a half point favorite. That's a lot.
Speaker 5: It's a lot of points.
Speaker 4: I think Arizona covers, but Duke wins. What do you think?
Speaker 5: I agree with you. I think Duke's gonna win it.
Speaker 5: But that nine, that's a lot of points for a
Speaker 5: team that's They're kind of Arizona's kind of hot right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't even have Duke in the tournament my
Speaker 2: bracket right here, So I'll go Arizona. Caleb Love has
Speaker 2: played Duke. I think they just covering the spread. Okay,
Speaker 2: that was a big number. Caleb Love's played Duke for
Speaker 2: fifteen years when he was at North Carolina. I think
Speaker 2: he'll be ready to have a big game.
Speaker 3: Tyler Hansboro said, if Caleb Love wins this game, they
Speaker 3: should retire his jersey at Carolina because he will not
Speaker 3: duke out of the tournament at two different times, which
Speaker 3: would be pretty good. And then finally, Cali Perry versus
Speaker 3: Texas Tech Texas Texas a five and a half point favorite.
Speaker 3: That's a lot. He's not gonna win this one, is he?
Speaker 3: Because I kind of think he is. I think I'm
Speaker 3: thinking in Arkansas. I think they get the right matchup
Speaker 3: for him again. I'm gonna tex tex Scott athletes now
Speaker 3: Texas Texas Arkansas gonna be able to out athlete them
Speaker 3: like they did Saint John's.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely betting on Arkansas to cover. They've been an
Speaker 2: underdog in both games so far, about five seven points.
Speaker 2: It's been easy money. I think they can win it too,
Speaker 2: but I'm definitely on the five and a half.
Speaker 3: Arkansas is like plus one ninety five to win. I
Speaker 3: can just tell you I'm emotionally hedging this bad because
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is a classic. I'm betting on Arkansas,
Speaker 3: so if they lose, I go, well, it's just money,
Speaker 3: and if they win, I go, thank you, Cal. At
Speaker 3: least I get money out of this. So that's why
Speaker 3: I'm betting Arkansas to win.
Speaker 5: Because of that, part of me feels like these of
Speaker 5: the games were cow choke. He wins the game he's
Speaker 5: not supposed to against Saint John's.
Speaker 4: And the historic right, historically right.
Speaker 5: So I'm going to Texas Tech.
Speaker 4: You are yep, Shanan, what about you?
Speaker 2: I'll take Texas Tech on that one as well.
Speaker 3: How many Let me ask the people here, because we
Speaker 3: got a good crowd here this morning, Let's be honest.
Speaker 3: How many were are root for Texas Tech? Raise your hand?
Speaker 3: How many of you rooting for Arkansas? Not one person
Speaker 3: is rooting for Why would you?
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm just saying, like Conference pride, I mean,
Speaker 7: we don't care about that.
Speaker 3: When they asked me on field of sixty eight, how
Speaker 3: do Kentucky fans feel about Cal? I said, I don't
Speaker 3: think we hate him, but we want him to lose.
Speaker 3: Do you think that's a good description. Yes, I think
Speaker 3: that's very fair.
Speaker 5: Deep down, there's no real hatred there, but we do
Speaker 5: not want him to succeed.
Speaker 4: There. I think that's the explanation.
Speaker 3: I mean even personally for all the stuff that I
Speaker 3: had going back and forth with I don't hate him,
Speaker 3: I don't hate anybody. But I had too many good
Speaker 3: memories with him to even severely dislike him.
Speaker 4: But I do want him to I mean, is that
Speaker 4: how you are? And it's not.
Speaker 2: Wrong to want him to lose because we are still
Speaker 2: in the middle of this breakup and you want Kentucky
Speaker 2: to win. And he says, I just moved headquarters. If
Speaker 2: it actually shows that it's working out, it kind of
Speaker 2: is a stain on Mark Pope, at least in going
Speaker 2: on recruiting.
Speaker 4: It's not a stain on Mark Pope, MARKO.
Speaker 2: I'm saying when he goes into a house in recruiting,
Speaker 2: we need Mark Pope. We need to Kentucky to still
Speaker 2: be Kentucky. I think he's already made it that far.
Speaker 2: But if kl keeps saying me, me, me, and I
Speaker 2: was Kentucky and then he goes to a final four,
Speaker 2: he has a little bit of I think.
Speaker 3: It helps him, and I think it helps that argument. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I don't think it has anything to do with
Speaker 3: Mark Pope. Mark Pope had three weeks to make a roster.
Speaker 3: He took most of his team with him. You know,
Speaker 3: he had a couple people, but he took all the recruits,
Speaker 3: and he took a lot that they.
Speaker 4: Weren't in the same situation.
Speaker 2: But going into a recruiting room and Cal says, Kentucky's
Speaker 2: just there out left it. It's me, me, me, and
Speaker 2: then he goes on has a great year. That does
Speaker 2: give I think Pope's already won the breakup, but that
Speaker 2: gives Cal a little bit that he can say to recruits.
Speaker 4: True. I mean, I think that's right. All right, we'll
Speaker 4: take your call.
Speaker 3: Say if I'm not two eight h twenty two eighty
Speaker 3: sent here at Kosbar, Kentucky Sports Radio, I'll feed him
Speaker 3: hog TJ.
Speaker 4: Smith, personal injury attorney, call TJ. He'll make them pay.
Speaker 5: No more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4: Here's Nott Jones.
Speaker 3: I hope it's not Texas Tech that feeds them hogs,
Speaker 3: because I mean, he can't get out and roam around
Speaker 3: like his old hunting dogs. Hopefully, tonight Texas Tech make
Speaker 3: sure that the hog feeding is over. I feel good
Speaker 3: that Florida'll beat him in the next round. But if
Speaker 3: Maryland were to somehow beat Florida and then Arkansas were
Speaker 3: to beat Texas Tech.
Speaker 4: I can't even like, come on, they can't.
Speaker 5: Have is a doue still out? He's not playing?
Speaker 3: They said, who do may play eight to ten minutes tonight.
Speaker 3: So shout out to Mario over there with the old
Speaker 3: apex UK jacket on. That's a cool old school the
Speaker 3: Wildcats scratch jacket, Drew.
Speaker 4: I didn't know where'd he get that?
Speaker 2: Oh apex? I think was even better than the converse dentim.
Speaker 2: I think that was our best we've ever had. Mario
Speaker 2: wasn't born yet when they wore the apex. That's a
Speaker 2: good time. I can't see the tongue on that, but
Speaker 2: it might even be the say oh does that have
Speaker 2: the tongue? I'm trying to get a good look, Mars
Speaker 2: a little too far away.
Speaker 4: Does it have the tongue? You go, look, oh it's
Speaker 4: got the tongue. Oh wow, man, that is a that
Speaker 4: is a high piece of value.
Speaker 3: Volunteers of America Mid States part of Volunteers of America,
Speaker 3: region's largest nonprofit provider of human services, including housing, veteran support,
Speaker 3: justice shelter, and more. There's a new building in Louisville
Speaker 3: and downtown the Community Care Campus.
Speaker 4: I just drove by it the other day. They do
Speaker 4: great work.
Speaker 3: Learn more at voamd dot org helping those that are
Speaker 3: less fortunate. It's voa mid dot org five oh two
Speaker 3: six three six seven seven to one voamid dot org
Speaker 3: before we go the phones. It's little bit of news
Speaker 3: that I think got lost in all this NCAA tournament news.
Speaker 3: The Players Festival has announced it starting not next season,
Speaker 3: but the year after that, They're gonna do a thirty
Speaker 3: two team tournament in November. Basically it will be March Madness,
Speaker 3: but in November they're gonna try to get the thirty
Speaker 3: two best teams going into the year and have them
Speaker 3: play each other in sort of a preseason tournament.
Speaker 4: It would be.
Speaker 3: Pool play, so they would like take the thirty two teams,
Speaker 3: put them in eight groups of four. You'd play three
Speaker 3: games against your teams, and then the eight teams that
Speaker 3: win their brackets would go to Vegas and play each
Speaker 3: other in a tournament. I love the idea. First prize
Speaker 3: would be a huge nil fund. If you look at
Speaker 3: the teams that have already signed up for it, it's
Speaker 3: basically every great team that's not a historic power. So Duke, Carolina, Kentucky,
Speaker 3: and Kansas haven't signed up for it, but Alabama, Auburn,
Speaker 3: you like, those teams are all in. So in my opinion,
Speaker 3: we got to get in. I mean, if they're giving
Speaker 3: away that level of nil money if you win, it's
Speaker 3: a tournament where the winners get money, so you know
Speaker 3: they're into it now.
Speaker 4: They did that earlier this year. I think Houston was
Speaker 4: in it.
Speaker 3: Alabama, but they're talking about doing a massive one.
Speaker 4: So that's part one of the story. Part two.
Speaker 3: In order to be able to do it, the NCA
Speaker 3: is now going to add starting next year, instead of
Speaker 3: thirty one games, we're gonna get to play thirty two games,
Speaker 3: So you're gonna get one more game during the regular season,
Speaker 3: which I like. Mark Pop says he thinks we should
Speaker 3: play a forty game regular season. I'm not sure if
Speaker 3: that'll ever happen, but thirty two is one more. I mean,
Speaker 3: just a few years ago it was only twenty eight.
Speaker 3: Now it's up to thirty two. I like both those developments.
Speaker 3: If they have a tournament like that, Drew, I feel
Speaker 3: like Kentucky has to be in it. Do you agree, dude? Also,
Speaker 3: you know when you're out trying to get players. You
Speaker 3: want to be a part of that, saying hey, you
Speaker 3: could win a lot of money early in the season
Speaker 3: before we even get focused on March mad It's just
Speaker 3: something else to add saying you're a part of that.
Speaker 3: And for as a fan, more meaningful basketball that earlier
Speaker 3: in the year, of course, I'm up for that. I mean,
Speaker 3: who's not gonna love they're basically talking about during Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3: You would play like when the Maui Invitational happens, You're
Speaker 3: playing in a basketball tournament, the finals of which you're
Speaker 3: in Vegas, but some of them will be home and home.
Speaker 4: So say we got paired.
Speaker 3: I think their idea is they take the four major
Speaker 3: conferences and we'd have one Big ten team, one Big
Speaker 3: twelve team, one ACC team, and let's say us and
Speaker 3: we get home and we get to play them in
Speaker 3: a hole Marinas, right like we would play a game
Speaker 3: at Rock we'd go there.
Speaker 4: I mean, Ryan, that sounds awesome to me, don't you,
Speaker 4: doesn't it you?
Speaker 5: I love everything about it. To play in an early
Speaker 5: season tournament like that will not only be huge for
Speaker 5: the fans, but like Drew said, huge for the players.
Speaker 5: I mean just a competitive edge. You'd rather do something
Speaker 5: like that than play Tooth State or somebody that comes
Speaker 5: into Ropperena.
Speaker 4: You love saying. You know what's funny. This is a
Speaker 4: true story, folks.
Speaker 3: I was sitting at the game yesterday when Adarek County
Speaker 3: was playing Bowling Green, and I was talking to one
Speaker 3: of my very good friends, one of my lifelong friends,
Speaker 3: and he literally said this yesterday, Shannon. He said to me,
Speaker 3: do you think Ryan could go a week without saying
Speaker 3: the word poop? And I said I think he could,
Speaker 3: And he said I don't think he could.
Speaker 4: And then we come in the next day and.
Speaker 2: Drew, he has already said it hasn't been twenty four hours. Like,
Speaker 2: I hope you took the under on the on that bet.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's exactly right, and you are fifty six
Speaker 3: years old.
Speaker 5: Of fifty eight. Really, I'll be fifty nine this summer
Speaker 5: pushing the Big six.
Speaker 2: Oh's another block party for sixty.
Speaker 4: You better believe I will unbelievable anyway. I love the
Speaker 4: idea too.
Speaker 3: I will say, if they keep having these power teams, though,
Speaker 3: Kentucky's got to get in.
Speaker 4: They have to like they have to get in.
Speaker 3: I mean no offense to the you know, the the
Speaker 3: stupid tournaments we have here, We've got we cannot allow
Speaker 3: these programs to have these big things in us not
Speaker 3: do it. And Duke and Carolina Kansas, one of these
Speaker 3: teams is going to break the seal and play in it,
Speaker 3: and once they do, we have to.
Speaker 2: It was nice winning the BBN Invitational this year, but
Speaker 2: the players and UK didn't even know that was going
Speaker 2: on when we were asking about it. So I think
Speaker 2: this tournam will be will be better and for us personally,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get selfish Ofvegas trip, maybe a ks R
Speaker 2: road trip.
Speaker 4: A Vegas trip during thanks I mean it would be
Speaker 4: it would be great. Who's up first? T O t
Speaker 4: O go ahead, t O.
Speaker 7: Magic? Then you're from coming in hot today. The big
Speaker 7: Blue Nation's got to hear this. First things First, Davy
Speaker 7: Crockett was half the man that Daniel Boone was. Couldn't
Speaker 7: have covered half the area that he did. All right,
Speaker 7: different about that.
Speaker 3: You're saying Daniel Boone is better than Davy Crockett, So
Speaker 3: Kentucky's that's right. He crossed the Comeling gap. He left
Speaker 3: Tennessee to come to Kentucky. If you'll remember.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm pretty sure most of Davy Crockett's legends are
Speaker 7: all just stole from Boone. Anyway, that's kind of a
Speaker 7: Tennessee thing. Okay, anyways, boys, when I was seven years old,
Speaker 7: I stood in front of Jamel Martinez and Jamal Mashburn
Speaker 7: in a stereo store in Fayette Mall and I got
Speaker 7: an autograph on the back of a banker seat, and
Speaker 7: I felt like the biggest superstar ever. And every Kentucky
Speaker 7: person that loves this team and is blue blood and
Speaker 7: has got the same experience, we all understood the assignment
Speaker 7: when we got it. Now that even wore pigs of Tennessee,
Speaker 7: your dad are in at Black Delico Mountain and our
Speaker 7: troops are gonna have to mount up. We're gonna have
Speaker 7: to send everybody we got to this game. We're gonna
Speaker 7: have to that area.
Speaker 3: We're gonna own the arena, and we're gon We're gonna
Speaker 3: own the arena. I think Purdue is gonna have a
Speaker 3: lot of people, but we're gonna I think it's just
Speaker 3: my opinion.
Speaker 4: We'll find out if I'm right.
Speaker 3: I think we'll have more fans there Ryan than than
Speaker 3: than both Purdue and certainly than Tennessee, but I think
Speaker 3: we'll have more than Purdue as well, even though it's
Speaker 3: in only an hour down the rope.
Speaker 5: And I think because like you said, we did it
Speaker 5: at the SEC Tournament, didn't do it much as Milwaukee.
Speaker 5: Cause think maybe a lot of people when they saw
Speaker 5: the brackets thought we'll just go to Indianapolis, and they
Speaker 5: make the Indianapolis will go there. I think we'll see
Speaker 5: a huge turnout of UK fans.
Speaker 2: Also being the first game, the people they'll linger, they'll
Speaker 2: be out eating, drinking, kind of waiting till their game starts.
Speaker 2: So you won't have all the other fans early maybe
Speaker 2: for the end of the game, but in the beginning
Speaker 2: they still won't be there yet.
Speaker 3: We let's talk about sort of the vibe in Indianapolis,
Speaker 3: all right. So we won those games in twenty fourteen there,
Speaker 3: but then we lost obviously in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 4: There and we lost to Saint Peter's.
Speaker 3: Now, somebody gave us some sage to burn on the
Speaker 3: pregame show tomorrow to try to get rid of the
Speaker 3: Indianapolis curse. I think we're gonna do that, just to
Speaker 3: be careful. If Ryan doesn't drop it. Shennon into the water.
Speaker 4: Like, don't let Ryan be responsible for this?
Speaker 3: But do you do you feel like you know Indianapolis?
Speaker 3: We remember the bad, but twenty fourteen was a heck
Speaker 3: of a run there. We won I think one year
Speaker 3: with Tubby. I think we won our first and second
Speaker 3: round games there. We played like Ooey pooey and somebody
Speaker 3: else and eku, that's right. Do you think Indianapolis is
Speaker 3: a curse or a blessing?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: Also, you know the ninety seven Final four we got
Speaker 5: to the championship game in indian lost to Arizona, So
Speaker 5: there are there are some hiccups in Indianapolis. For sure.
Speaker 2: We've lost four straight games there. If you throw in
Speaker 2: the Champions Classic, I don't love that. I'm staying in
Speaker 2: the same hotel as I was for Saint Peter's, so
Speaker 2: maybe we burned the stage in my room.
Speaker 4: Okay, they really get the all right, get.
Speaker 2: The reverse the curse there.
Speaker 3: I mean, I still like us being there because I
Speaker 3: like the fact that our fans. I mean, if it
Speaker 3: was in Newark or San Francisco, we wouldn't have the
Speaker 3: same fan base. Now they're also playing in Atlanta, which
Speaker 3: we could have. We would have probably packed too, But
Speaker 3: I I mean, I think there's a lot of people
Speaker 3: like my parents wouldn't have been able to go if
Speaker 3: it was in Newark or San Francisco. They're going because
Speaker 3: it's in Indy. I think there'll be a lot of
Speaker 3: people like that.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 2: I'm glad it's close. I'm kind of glad it's Indie.
Speaker 2: But if we were to lose, I think we just
Speaker 2: have to boycott that city forever. That would be twenty
Speaker 2: fifteen Wisconsin that I think broke it for everyone. Saint
Speaker 2: Peter's and then losing the balls, those would be three
Speaker 2: of the worst tournament losses ever, all in the same city.
Speaker 4: I do agree with decade. I do agree with the color.
Speaker 3: We don't get enough credit to Daniel Boone, like Davy
Speaker 3: Crockett gets all the songs. You know, Daniel Boone is
Speaker 3: the one that crossed the mountain, right, Daniel Boone went
Speaker 3: from the Cut through the Cumberland Gap. He doesn't get
Speaker 3: enough credit, and he intentionally left Tennessee to come to Kentucky.
Speaker 3: It's right, So that was a that was a conscientious
Speaker 3: choice that I think is positive.
Speaker 5: I mean, we've got the Daniel Boone House here just
Speaker 5: south of Lexington, the Daniel Boone Park. He I don't
Speaker 5: know if Davey Crockett has a house in election Boone County,
Speaker 5: Boone County, right, What else is Boone here?
Speaker 4: Boone's butcher Shop.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's the different Boon Maybe to send it,
Speaker 2: I don't know Boone's butcher shop was. I think Davey
Speaker 2: Crockett just had better marketing Boone. He was humble, he
Speaker 2: was just out, you know, exploring.
Speaker 4: He didn't he didn't need to be.
Speaker 2: Talked about for your call.
Speaker 4: He had a better pr F.
Speaker 2: Davy's trying to sell hats, still selling hats, allen Berg.
Speaker 4: What did Davy Crockett do?
Speaker 3: He went, he went to I thought every I thought
Speaker 3: he did everything in Texas.
Speaker 4: Would any like fighting the Alamo or something.
Speaker 5: That sounds right? We'll go with it, Yeah, stay with
Speaker 5: stay on that.
Speaker 3: I didn't pay attention those days, eight five, nine, twenty two,
Speaker 3: eighty seven.
Speaker 4: We're gonna take a break and come back.
Speaker 3: Sweet sixteen will do some more pre again, wide open
Speaker 3: now with Saint X out, anybody could win it.
Speaker 4: We'll take a break ary back. It's KISR.
Speaker 3: I didn't expect Daniel Boone to be getting this much
Speaker 3: publicity today. But he is Daniel. But we have Boonsborough.
Speaker 3: Is this lady right here? It's from Moco just said
Speaker 3: to me. You got Daniel Boone's buried in Frankfort apparently,
Speaker 3: although there's somebody that claims here that's not true, that
Speaker 3: it's actually in Missouri and it's a fake body in Frankfort.
Speaker 6: Oh, controversy, that's that's a conspiracy there, fake Daniel Boone body.
Speaker 5: I think he's a Kentucky guy. He's probably buried here
Speaker 5: in Kentucky.
Speaker 4: You got the Daniel Boone Festival in Barbara Ball.
Speaker 5: Oh, I've been there.
Speaker 4: You got the Daniel Boone Motel in Pikeville.
Speaker 5: Not been there.
Speaker 4: I've not been there.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine that's extremely nice, the Daniel Boom Motel.
Speaker 3: Maybe it is, but I'm I'm just have a hard
Speaker 3: time believing it.
Speaker 2: I'll stay in it. You place that might be haunted.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, yeah, about Daniel Boone.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I've got something I'm gonna stalk co about
Speaker 3: in the second hour. But I want to throw in
Speaker 3: here before I go back to phones. Did you see
Speaker 3: you probably didn't see, do you know who's going to
Speaker 3: be the graduation speaker at the University of Maryland this year.
Speaker 4: Don't say it, okay, So give.
Speaker 3: Me an example, Like, like, let's say you're University of
Speaker 3: Maryland and you're trying to figure out who do we
Speaker 3: get to be a graduation speaker? Okay, A lot of
Speaker 3: different ways you could go. I mean, they used to
Speaker 3: bring politicians. Now people are hesitant to do it because
Speaker 3: people get booed and all that. So you bring celebrities,
Speaker 3: maybe famous people. If you were at Maryland, who would
Speaker 3: bring Scott Vimpel.
Speaker 5: That's the only Maryland gradh CEO of.
Speaker 3: Under Armour, Yes, CEO Army. Let me tell you what
Speaker 3: Maryland decided. They went a little different direction. The graduation
Speaker 3: speaker for the graduates at the University of Maryland this
Speaker 3: year is Kermit the Frog.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, I didn't see that coming.
Speaker 3: Kermit the Frog is going to be the graduation speaker.
Speaker 3: They said, Kermit the Frog brings a message of hope
Speaker 3: and happiness, which I think is probably true true, But
Speaker 3: how does that work logistically?
Speaker 4: Shit? It?
Speaker 3: Like, how do you get Kermit the Frog up there without.
Speaker 4: It's not a real frog?
Speaker 3: So, like, I mean they're gonna have to have Kurt
Speaker 3: somebody with a hand and a hand.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: But so Kermit the Frog.
Speaker 3: If you went to the University of Maryland, would you
Speaker 3: be happy that your graduation speaker was Kermit the Frog?
Speaker 2: No, nothing, nothing against Kermit. But if I'm graduating from
Speaker 2: college and I'm sitting there in the arena and my
Speaker 2: parents in the crowd, and I got to sit and
Speaker 2: listen to a puppet, it seems like we're not taking
Speaker 2: it very much.
Speaker 5: Which want Gorm, we want Miss Piggy.
Speaker 4: But chances are it's gonna be really short. It's true, right,
Speaker 4: the chances are.
Speaker 3: I mean, Kermit doesn't have He's not gonna write the
Speaker 3: Gettysburg address like.
Speaker 4: He's probably gonna be something pretty short. So that's good.
Speaker 5: I have no memory whatsoever of whoever spoke at my
Speaker 5: Kentucky Weslen graduation, but I'll tell you what, if it
Speaker 5: was Kermit the Frog, I would definitely remember.
Speaker 4: This is a really good point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've told this story of bunch, but my graduation
Speaker 3: speaker almost was the best one ever.
Speaker 4: William T.
Speaker 3: Young when he said, uh that you know the number
Speaker 3: one thing he said, he got up and he said
Speaker 3: my graduation message to you is don't give up.
Speaker 4: And then he sat down.
Speaker 5: I would yes, great, And then.
Speaker 3: The president was like, no, you got to give a speech,
Speaker 3: you got to give a speech, and he kept saying no,
Speaker 3: and then he finally went up and he didn't have
Speaker 3: a written speech because all he was gonna say was
Speaker 3: don't give up, which led to no offense to William T.
Speaker 3: Young just rambling for twenty five minutes because he didn't
Speaker 3: have a speech written. They should have let him stop it.
Speaker 2: Don't give up, I think, don't don't give up be
Speaker 2: a great speech in an event that takes several hours.
Speaker 2: A big fan of his library.
Speaker 3: Too, Yes, uh he was, and he he funded my
Speaker 3: scholarship to Trancey.
Speaker 4: He did shout out to William T. Young. Who's up next, Brock?
Speaker 4: He's the he did Jeff peanut butter, Yes he did.
Speaker 3: That's so Jiff for those of Jiff peanut butter. That
Speaker 3: was created by mister mister Young. Okay, go ahead, Jeff.
Speaker 7: No, it's Brock.
Speaker 4: Okay, Brock, Jeff.
Speaker 3: I said, Jim peanut butter, which made me think that
Speaker 3: the caller was named Jeff.
Speaker 4: Go ahead.
Speaker 2: I'm on my way up from Georgia meeting cousins from
Speaker 2: Florida and Alabama coming up too.
Speaker 7: So I agree.
Speaker 5: I think we're gonna have a real good crowd there.
Speaker 2: I got two quick questions. Okay, First, Oh god, oh,
Speaker 2: are y'all doing the morning show?
Speaker 5: Sorry?
Speaker 2: Yeah, are y'all doing the morning show?
Speaker 4: Let me answer question one before we go to question two.
Speaker 3: So the morning show tomorrow will be here at ks
Speaker 3: Bar again. So if you are in Lexington and you
Speaker 3: want to come to KS Bar, restaurant opens at eleven,
Speaker 3: but we let people in here. Got a lot of
Speaker 3: people here right now at ten so they can do that.
Speaker 3: The pregame show, we're gonna get in the car right
Speaker 3: after and drive up will be at five pm at
Speaker 3: ten roof in Indy. So if you are in Indy,
Speaker 3: we're gonna they're gonna cut the bands off and let
Speaker 3: us go at five pm in Indy. And I can't
Speaker 3: wait to bring Larry Blondell into a tin roof at
Speaker 3: the age of eighty seven years old. That's gonna be
Speaker 3: a sight in and of itself. But we will be
Speaker 3: there at five o'clock tomorrow. So what's your second question?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 5: When KSR is overall have about six seven hours lest
Speaker 5: on the drive.
Speaker 2: Do you have any podcast recommendations to take up some
Speaker 2: time for me?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate the call. I mean, there's a lot
Speaker 3: of podcasts I like. It's hard to.
Speaker 4: I don't know what you're into, so I can't really say.
Speaker 3: I mean, I will say that if you go back
Speaker 3: and listen to the part of my take where they
Speaker 3: preview the NCAA tournament and give a fun fact about
Speaker 3: each school.
Speaker 4: We listened to that on the way to Milwaukee, and
Speaker 4: I thought it was.
Speaker 5: Great, fantastic job that plays to their strengths, and I
Speaker 5: would definitely recommend that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I would, I would. I would say that.
Speaker 3: Also want to note, you know, I lea I have
Speaker 3: I want Kentucky to win both games this weekend, but
Speaker 3: I also am scheduled to fly to Amsterdam a week
Speaker 3: from yesterday, and I have to tell you, Drew the
Speaker 3: idea of making the Final four and me not being
Speaker 3: able to go, he's really haunting my mind right now because.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll be thrilled we make it, but having
Speaker 3: to miss it and I can't get out of this trip.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was scheduled a year and a half ago,
Speaker 3: and it was scheduled when Cow was here, and I
Speaker 3: was like, well, Cow's not making the Final four, so
Speaker 3: that's fine.
Speaker 4: That will be tough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And if they were to make the final four,
Speaker 2: not just any final four, Pope's first year with this
Speaker 2: group we likes so much. They've just thrown together, having
Speaker 2: beaten Tennessee to get there, and all the fun we've
Speaker 2: had leading up to it. I know you're in this commitment.
Speaker 2: I might just have to say sorry.
Speaker 3: I mean, I can't though this is like a fellowship,
Speaker 3: it's a three and a half year thing.
Speaker 4: They're like, I can't just say no. I've already told
Speaker 4: them though.
Speaker 3: If we make the Final four, I'm gonna miss one
Speaker 3: of the meetings to do the pre and postgame show
Speaker 3: for the games. I'm not missing the pre and postgame
Speaker 3: show for the Final four, but if we were to
Speaker 3: make the National Championship, I was realizing that postgame show
Speaker 3: might start at like five am, and at the Final
Speaker 3: Four it might start at like three thirty am.
Speaker 2: For me, when's the last time you saw five am?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 2: Intentionally yeah, not just waking up the middle of the
Speaker 2: night when.
Speaker 3: I'm then I turned down things all, anything I have
Speaker 3: to do that I have to get up before six am.
Speaker 3: I just say no, anything, you're busy. Anything you could
Speaker 3: tell me, Matt, I'll fly you to the Masters. We're
Speaker 3: leaving at five. I'm like, I'll watch it home at
Speaker 3: that time.
Speaker 2: Of day is brutal. But what if we want a
Speaker 2: national championship?
Speaker 3: No, if we want a national championship, I'm gonna get
Speaker 3: up and do it. What I wonder is if we
Speaker 3: made the Final four is how do I even watch it?
Speaker 3: Do you think it's even on television there?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: You could probably find some UK fans nearby. One of
Speaker 2: my good friends lives there.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go and tell you.
Speaker 3: If you're in Amsterdam and we make the Final four,
Speaker 3: whoever's there, if they're a Kentucky fan.
Speaker 4: We have to watch it together somewhere.
Speaker 2: The two people I grew up with live there. One
Speaker 2: of them is Frank Ramsey's granddaughter. I'm sure they'll want to.
Speaker 3: Okay, Frank Ramsey's granddaughter, where gonn that be?
Speaker 4: Friends? If we make the Final four, because I can't watch.
Speaker 2: I bet you'd have a lot of UK fans show up.
Speaker 2: Just I mean some might take a train from far
Speaker 2: away to go be a part of that.
Speaker 3: It would be fun, even though that game would be
Speaker 3: at like three, and I mean, we got a ways
Speaker 3: to go to get to that, but it's just something
Speaker 3: that's been on my mind. We're gonna take a break
Speaker 3: and come back our number two. We are here at
Speaker 3: the KS Bar and Grill. It's sweet sixteen times. This
Speaker 3: is Kentucky Sports Radio.
