89
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: A lot of people Kentucky know this. My man played

90
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: varsity football when he was in the second grade.

91
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: True story.

92
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: He's in a second grade, his brother Derek's in the

93
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: third grade, and they're playing high school football at Harritsburg

94
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: High School. And I heard this one great story somebody

95
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: in your lockering with you with the Arizona Cardinals, like

96
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: they challenge you like there's no way, said I have

97
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: a second grade son, There's no way he could have

98
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: played high school football. And he then the second grade.

99
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 5: Absolutely no. It was funny, man. Once the guys found out,

100
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 5: and that was a year m and Alos came and

101
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 5: so once they found out, we'll probably go out to

102
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 5: practice one day and all the guys like stuck around,

103
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 5: was like dude, this can't this can't be true, and

104
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 5: them and them there was like, man, come on, man,

105
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 5: be I'm like, no, it's absolutely true. So they did

106
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 5: some research and they were like it was like a

107
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 5: topic of discussion for the whole years, Like every tithing

108
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 5: that seemed like dog ain't no way. I'm like, oh,

109
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 5: it's a way. We me and my brother rode our bikes.

110
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 5: Practice started, you know, it's when you had triple sessions.

111
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 5: Practice started at six oh one am. My dad would

112
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 5: leave at four to get down there. He's always an

113
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 5: earlier riser. So me and my brother ride our box

114
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 5: with our pads on, and if we were late, we

115
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 5: had to run. And so we had to do triple sessions.

116
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 5: No going to the city pool. We had practice again,

117
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 5: and then we had another practice and so yeahah that

118
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 5: was that was. That was a life in the Johnson

119
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 5: household as young kids. But we did we didn't only different,

120
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 5: so we just we went with it.

121
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 4: So I was like collecting Ninja turtles.

122
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 5: No cartoons for us, none of that.

123
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 4: What was it like for the other guys who are

124
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 4: much older than you and say you just put them

125
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: on their butt? Like how just demoralizing was that to

126
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: get hit by a second grader?

127
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 5: Well, for the most part was the other way around,

128
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 5: because he put up against the best guys and they

129
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 5: would knock our heads off and might just like get

130
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 5: up and don't be soft and be tougher and stuff.

131
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 5: So we we kind of had to go to the

132
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 5: hard way. He wouldn't put up against the guys who

133
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 5: probably could have matched up against. Most of the time,

134
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: we were the scout team guys versus the first team guys,

135
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 5: and we had to do everything we could have survived.

136
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 5: But you know, my dad had no he didn't take

137
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 5: any shorts, and it was always be tougher, be stronger,

138
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 5: be better, don't be you know, soft, And so that's

139
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 5: kind of how we grew up.

140
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 2: So because of you, the KHSAA implemented what I've always

141
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: called the Dennis and Derrek Johnson rule. Well, you can't

142
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: play varsity football until you get in high school, right absolutely,

143
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: it made the rule because of you, guys. And there's

144
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: some kids, you know, we have kids, man, who the

145
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: eighth grades want to play. I'm like, guys, I'm sorry,

146
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: we just you know, because.

147
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 5: Of my father, right God, kids who are kids are

148
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 5: now six seven and six seven, you've seen all. So

149
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 5: they got to play middle school until they get in

150
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 5: high school in the state of Kentucky.

151
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: For that's the first Dinnis Johnson story played me's in

152
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: the second grade for Harrisburg High School.

153
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: Now that you were just out there and this this

154
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: was a little more after second grade. But I mean,

155
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 4: you were getting a lot of attention at a young age,

156
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 4: leave aside just out there hitting people. What was that like,

157
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: having a spotlight on you when you're still truly just

158
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:21,520

162
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 5: guys coaches out there, and I remember him going in

163
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 5: before the game talking to my day. I was like,

164
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 5: you know, we like, we like the kid. You know,

Speaker 5: I was tall. He was like when I was like,

166
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 5: oh yeah, he's like in fourth grade, he was like,

167
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 5: what the what's going on? So, you know, and I'm

168
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 5: young at the time, so I'm like no, no, no,

169
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 5: I'm like I'm too young to go to college. Like, yeah,

170
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 5: what do you? What are you? What are your players

173
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 5: that's it. So it was, uh, now it's funny. But

174
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 5: now we had a good time. Waited. Like I said,

175
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 5: we were my brother and I had a chance has

176
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 5: been the spotlight for a long time, so it was

177
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 5: kind of became kind of, you know, common thread after

178
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 5: the while. But I always tell people with this now,

179
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 5: my dad was so hard on us. You remember ESPN's scholastics.

180
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 5: I remember they follow us around for like a whole week,

181
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 5: and I'm like, where are they follow us around? We're

182
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 5: not that good because my dad was just so hard

183
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 5: if you made twenty tackles, it was the three tackles

184
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 5: you did make or the three blocks you did man

185
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 5: that he would harp on. So even for a long time,

186
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't know all these people are like

187
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 5: follow us from because we're not really like we're not

188
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 5: that good, you know what I'm saying, Like we're not

189
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 5: that good. And the first time I kind ofnew, he

190
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 5: took us to a camp somewhere. It might've been in

Speaker 5: seven thousand people and all these guys constantly. I mean

260
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,560

262
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,840

Speaker 5: the hit the bypass and go to Lexing and spend

277
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,000

282
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,840

283
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: overnight and his announcement. Then Harrisburg is the next morning.

284
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: So Gary Johnson and I got on the car, get

285
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: in the car. The snow has not covered as has

286
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: not been removed from the road. You can't see if

287
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: you're on the road or not. We're watching the guardwear

288
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 2: garrel on the side of the road and make sure

289
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: we're still in the concrete. They closed the Bluegrass Parkway

290
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 2: while we were on the Bluegrass Parkway, but we're out.

291
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: We're on it already. So we kept going like ten

292
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: miles an hour and get the hairy bring. I remember

293
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: telling Gary Johnson, if that big SOB does Doc pick Kentucky,

294
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna smack him when I get there.

295
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell you a great story. So the night

296
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 5: before we played in South Laurel, I forgot the head

297
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 5: coach I signed a few weeks ago. So I'm taking

298
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 5: in this packed house right with Julius, and I say,

299
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 5: if we got a good team, And so it's packed

300
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 5: in there and I'm taking the battle bounds and this

301
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 5: guy gra Grass my jersey.

302
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: He's like this is during a basketball game.

303
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 5: Said if I need to know you're going so bad,

304
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 5: I'll give you five hundred dollars. I'm like what and

305
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 5: I'm like, you know, I'm a kid. I'm like throwing

306
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 5: the ball, like this guy's gonna, you know, detect me.

307
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 5: And then after the game, so many people surrounding me,

308
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 5: the bus leaves me. And so after going coaches often

309
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 5: he caused my dad because he had one of those

310
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 5: big old uh save by the bell of phones like

311
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,599
Speaker 5: uh uh you you left one of your players. It

312
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 5: was like, oh, like your son, you know. So he

313
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 5: had to come out and get me because I couldn't

314
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 5: get away like the bus had already gone. But that

315
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 5: was a crazy story, and it took us, I don't know,

316
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 5: three or four hours to get home. And then the

317
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 5: next morning we woke up and it was it was,

318
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 5: it was a madhouse.

319
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 2: I remember you saying that morning when you made the commitment,

320
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: and I believed you. You said you really didn't know

321
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: till you woke up that morning. And then when your

322
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: dad came in, Alvis comes in to get you up.

323
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: Your dad where my Kentucky had.

324
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 5: I was a huge Many fan and my favorite team

325
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 5: was always Notre Dame and so I always had probably

326
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 5: like a champion today, and so I had, you know,

327
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 5: I had like Edwin james On, I visited h MAMMI

328
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 5: so we had a great time. I had Javon Kersher.

329
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 5: I mean I had all the tops of the tops guys,

330
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 5: uh and so U. So it was a tough decision

331
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 5: because I wanted to go to one of those three schools.

332
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 5: And so just in my heart of heart, man, I

333
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 5: was a Kentucky threw and the through and that was

334
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 5: that's what made the decision.

335
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: Can only imagine that visit to the you probably got

336
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 4: to see the library and yeah, keep tutors. You know,

337
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: just how close realistically were you to to pick in

338
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 4: one of those other schools that you loved? Somebody was

339
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 4: was Ryan Ever in jeopardy of risking his life to

340
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 4: go to a commitment.

341
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: Soody slammed you if you didn' pick Kentucky.

342
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 5: That's why that's why I think Kentucky said Ryan limit right,

343
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 5: We're a good friend. So I didn't want to get

344
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 5: body slamed by Ryan. So you can't it was you can't?

345

397
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: Dennis has mentioned his dad, Alvis. Alvis is one of

398
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: the most great it's maybe one of the greatest football

399
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: coaches ever in this state ever, and very well respected.

400
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: And so you guys, I believe you're on the road

401
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: at Florida, yes, and it's game day and you guys

402
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: are stopped at the hotel room. Your dad says, come

403
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: into my room. So you and Derek go to the

404
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: hotel room and he started doing some coaching in the

405
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: hotel room and uses your mom as the offensive lineman.

406
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: Stand up Rosetta and you get showing you what to do,

407
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: get around it, offensive lineman, right, putting your hands on

408
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: your mama will not like that, but you know, like

409
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: just showing what to do.

410
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 5: She was she was a football tackling dummy for about

411
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 5: ten minutes and he had no regard. You know, he

412
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 5: was in football mode, and once he's in football mode,

413
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 5: he's in My dad was and now people know that

414
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 5: a lot of a few sides of my dad, but

415
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 5: he's probably one of the most competitive people, and he

416
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 5: he doesn't like error and he wants you to be

417
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 5: successful every single player. I don't think I had a

418
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 5: sack for a game or two, and he just was

419
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 5: getting pretty irritated. So he had to He had to

420
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 5: give me his sade of the coaching what he thought

421
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 5: I needed to do on me and my brother to

422
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 5: be successful. And so my mom was the only obstcut

423
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 5: of room. Thus, take off your your earrings real fast

424
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 5: and Rae put your hands traight out him. So he

425
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 5: just had to get his. He had to get it

426
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 5: off his chests before he walked out, before he walked

427
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 5: down went to the ro.

428
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: His dad had off, had put the coach hat offs

429
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: a little bit.

430
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 5: Yep, we got that a lot.

431
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: I got to ask if he changed a little bit,

432
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 4: because Tyler Thompson wrote a good story on Your Whole

433
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 4: Family for our website months ago, But it seemed Grandpa

434
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 4: might have been a little different than than Dad, because

435
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 4: Jasper was talking about him getting him shoes and look good,

436
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 4: play good, feel good. Did did you see a shift

437
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 4: in the attitude when he went from dad to Grandpa?

438
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 5: I mean a super duper duper shift, Like I was

439
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 5: just telling them from the stories of one of the

440
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 5: two times he really got on him, but the other

441
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 5: times he was. I mean, like he bought I mean

442
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 5: he bought Jasper so many pair of I'm like it was.

443
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 5: It was, I'm like, Dan, I would ask you for

444
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 5: a pair of my You're good, you got a pair

445
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 5: putting out on him, put ice on it, you know

446
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. I'm like, man, it was just but

447
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 5: it swiss man when he got the grandkids, man, he

448
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 5: switched Skylar and Skyler and Jasper could do no wrong

449
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 5: in his eyes. But no, no, but they had a

450
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: great relationship, and so they Jasper always said this Jasmine,

451
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 5: Skylar had a Jasper uh, and my granddad had just

452
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 5: had some kind of you know, real intimate bond, you

453
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. That bought them close together, and

454
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 5: they spent a lot of time together. So it was,

455
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 5: it was, it was definitely great.

456
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: Hey, als never missed a game, whether it was Skyler

457
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: playing or Jasper playing. Or when you and Derek were playing,

458
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: he never that's the game right for sure. You know,

459
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: I think I've always said you left UK as one

460
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 2: of the top defensive players. Ever, I think Art still

461
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 2: you and we got to put Josh Allen you. How

462
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: do you think when somebody puts that kind of praise

463
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: on you what you did at UK?

464
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 5: You know, I think it's part of the process. You know,

465
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 5: you're blessed to be able to be in that position.

466
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 5: And so when we went to the UK, like you know,

467
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 5: coach Mommy and that staff, Tim and those guys that

468
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 5: kind of move the needle, and so I wanted to

469
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 5: be a part of that man and so I just

470
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 5: wanted to try to do my part to to help

471
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 5: to help put UK where it is currently. And so

472
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 5: now it's definitely how praise those guys, I know, Art

473
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 5: and Josh, those were phenomenal players, and so just to

474
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 5: be mentioning with those guys, it's definitely something. But it

475
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 5: was great times there and so UK, you know, growing

476
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 5: from that stage of my life was great for me

477
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 5: and and and and made me into the men.

478
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 4: And today, you know, we have a lot of younger

479
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 4: listeners because Ryan Lemon, you know who brings in. So

480
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 4: what was just like the current stead of UK football

481
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 4: When you committed, you named all these powers that that

482
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 4: that you could have gone to. I assume Kentucky. The

483
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 4: records weren't quite what those were at the time, so

484
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 4: it's a big decision for you. What would you just

485
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 4: like when you made that.

486
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 5: Well, I think, first of all, you know, Craig was there,

487
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 5: how Mummy had brought this, you know, high powered offense,

488
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 5: some excitement the UK football. My brother was there, so

489
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 5: I knew a lot of the guys on the team,

490
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 5: George Man. Some of those guys to grow up there sometime,

491
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 5: and so I wanted to be a part of it.

492
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 5: Like it wouldn't the tradition, risk programs and one thing

493
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 5: my dad always told me before I made my commitment,

494
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 5: go somewhere you can get to play practice is one thing,

495
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 5: but you need to get game reps. If you want

496
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 5: to be a pro, you have to get game reps

497
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 5: and playing in the best conference in the country. Man,

498
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 5: I said, well, you know, got a lot going for me.

499
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 5: My dad was there, my brothers there, Craig was on

500
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 5: his way out. But I said, man, being a part

501
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 5: of that and being able to getting a chance to

502
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 5: go out and play earlier. I thought it was there

503
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 5: was it was a no brainer at the end of

504
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 5: the day, when I really put all the put everything

505
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 5: on the table. UK was just it was the best

506
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 5: decision for me. And like I said, we're gonna play

507
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 5: against the best every single Saturday, and so go somewhere

508
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 5: where when you leave you can come back and people

509
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 5: have respect for you. Can you know, you have some

510
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 5: ties and so that was very important.

511
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: And you're wearing the blue today, a blue hat on,

512
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: you got a blue pull over on. You're the head

513
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: coach at Whitford County High School, so you're obviously still

514
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 2: involved with the game. What do you see when you

515
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 2: see this Kentucky team right now?

516
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 5: No, I like him, I think, you know, I think offensively,

517
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 5: we had to figure some things out, and I think

518
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 5: I think I met Zach actually one of the first

519
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 5: that he was there. I was over there at the

520
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 5: at the facility when Vince was still there, and so

521
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 5: like him. But I just think Cutter, you got more time.

522
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 5: You know, he's a he's a his body, pro type body.

523
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna throw the ball, He's not afraid

524
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 5: to make a mistake, he's gonna throw the ball. So

525
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 5: I think he gives our long term. He gives our

526
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 5: offense the best chance to have some success. And we're

527
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 5: already going to the belly of the beast, you know

528
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. So you gotta be a you know,

529
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 5: I think our run games. You got a better offensive line.

530
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 5: I love the running back group, but I just it's

531
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 5: gonna be hard to run for one hundred fifty hundred

532
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 5: seventy five when we get into the heart of this

533
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 5: se plus, we gotta be able to throw the ball.

534
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 5: So I like him. Defensively, I think we're always solid.

535
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 5: I just think a lot of times we wore our

536
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 5: defense down, and so thirty four quarter we give up

537
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 5: some some players we probably wouldn't give up early on,

538
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,239
Speaker 5: if you know, offense could control the ball little bit

539
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 5: more so. No, you know, it's tough. Every year we're

540
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 5: in the toughest conference. And I always say, man, when

541
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 5: you when you add Oklahoma and Texas, Man, those are

542
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 5: two high school rich states, and maybe in years past

543
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 5: when they want SEC, we might be able to get

544
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 5: a few of those kids. Well now they can all

545
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 5: stay home and still playing SEC. So that makes it

546
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 5: even tougher on us, you know what I'm saying. And

547
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 5: so but now I like coach stops, I think it's

548
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 5: just like I said, it's tough, man, I said, but

549
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 5: we just gotta we got to get back to the

550
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 5: old school, grind out some games to try to win them.

551
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 5: At the end.

552
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 4: You have a couple of wins over South Carolina and

553
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 4: one was down there, yes, talk about just how tough

554
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 4: it is to go on the road, and did they

555
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 4: have the rooster crowing back then, and what that atmosphere was.

556
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 5: Like, absolutely, it was, it was, it was. It was

557
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 5: probably one of the louder environments I've been into our remember,

558
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 5: And it was funny. When I was playing for the Cardinals,

559
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 5: guy got cut and so they bought another guy and

560
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 5: there he's laying on one bed and I'm on another bed,

561
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 5: and he was like, I'm like, I know you. He

562
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 5: was a tackle from South Carolina when we played him,

563
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 5: and so but I just remember loud environment, crazy. It

564
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 5: was a day game, and so we were able to

565
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 5: win a game dinner. So we're definitely going to a hostyle,

566
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 5: which all the SEC's are, but just one of the

567
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 5: one of the louder ones. I can remember being into

568
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 5: on a twelve o'clock game, and so we got our

569
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 5: hands full it. So we've gotta be ready to go

570
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 5: down there and play. We cannot we just can't turn

571
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 5: the ball over. Man, we turn the ball, we think

572
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 5: it's that disaster for us. And so what they did

573
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 5: to us last year, I was at the game last

574
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 5: year and it was that was one of our better

575
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 5: performances and so we need we need to go to

576
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 5: there and get revenge.

577
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: Well, there's still a lot of football left with the schedule,

578
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: is you know, pretty tough for this team. What do

579
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: you think they need to do to kind of have

580
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: some success now from playing on out.

581
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 5: I think you, like you said, they hopefully they've given

582
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 5: Cutter of the keys to the like win, loser, draw

583
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 5: and get. You just got to give it to him

584
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 5: and let him go and then you you evaluate him

585
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 5: at the end of the year. So I think that's

586
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 5: one thing is I think he'll be able to galvanize

587
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,479
Speaker 5: the guys, get them all together and say they can

588
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 5: somebody they can trust him leaving offensively again. And I

589
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 5: think if you do that right, you're not it's not

590
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 5: going to be perfect, but I think you have to

591
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 5: you can't go back and forth. I think you got

592
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 5: to get some consistency. And so offensively, if we can

593
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 5: just if we can find a way right just to

594
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 5: ball control, uh, get the ball out quick, make some play.

595
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 5: I think it helps our defense a lot. And I'm

596
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 5: looking like I like the kid from Franklin. I'm looking

597
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 5: for fairy er to to step up. I think we

598
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 5: need wanted the receivers to really step up and and

599
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 5: be we need a one to two combination. And so

600
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 5: I like the kid I've got a chance to talk

601
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 5: to a few times. So I'm looking for that kid

602
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 5: to step up and and help us at a sec play.

603
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 4: It's the football breakdown from a football legend. We'll switch

604

Speaker 5: I always you know, I'm like, I'm kind of like,

680
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 5: I'm a big breakfast guy, so I like I like

00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 5: the I like steaks on the grill and the eggs.

682
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 5: Steak and eggs is good. Her homemade pizzas are really

683
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 5: really good. Puts a lot of a lot of meats

684
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 5: on there. So that's that was those two of my

685
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 5: favorite things.

686
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: Do you think it'd be good content for Mario that

687
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: she fixes big meal for all of us one day?

688
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 5: Come on, yah, we'll get some weight on you, Mario.

689
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 5: You might get it, you like Jasper might put twenty

690
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 5: on your.

691
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: You mentioned Jasper. Obviously that's a big topic around here.

692
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 2: And he grew up playing here, played it souther in

693
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 2: middle school, played Atoodford County before he went on to

694
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 2: bigger and better things. I think the city of Electionton is

695
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: so proud to see how he's developed as a player.

696
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: And I know you're proud as a dad. What are

697
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: your thoughts about him now where he is as a player,

698
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 2: as a freshman going.

699
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 5: Into the UK. No, I'm uh, you know, as a

700
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 5: dad definitely, you know, excited for him. You know, it's

701
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 5: been a long journey, right, a lot of long early mornings,

702
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 5: long nights in the gym, and then you know, once

703
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 5: he got to Agy, we sent them off to kind

704
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 5: of figure that itself, and so you know, once he

705
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 5: went to Lincoln Ot, I think it prepared him for

706
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 5: what he's going to go into now, and I was

707
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 5: I told the story before. You know. I think link

708
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 5: was probably the best thing for him because the first

709
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 5: two weeks she wanted to come home. You know. Bill

710
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 5: talk was like he was with Trey and Labarn and

711
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 5: all them guys, and He's just like, man, I'm not home.

712
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 5: Six five six shots, now enough for me, you know

713
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. I need to and Bill me and

714
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 5: Bill talked, and I love Bill Armstrong to this day.

715
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 5: And Bill kind of walked me through it. And I

716
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 5: went down there and just told him. I said, you're

717
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 5: in the right place when you need to be here.

718
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 5: And I think failure is good for all kids. Man,

719
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 5: they need to go through it and have to figure

720
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 5: that out. And so I didn't go to a game

721
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 5: until like they came. I think they played in the

722
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 5: Marshall County who Fest was like a January. So I

723
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 5: wanted to figure out hisself. And so I think that

724
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 5: was really really good for him to count And just

725
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 5: if you if you haven't hard time to go to

726
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 5: the gym, figure it out, you need to be by yourself.

727
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 5: If basketball is really then you'll figure it out. In

728
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 5: about January, Bill called me and I think he they

729
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 5: played in some time and he had like twenty five

730
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 5: or twenty six, and Bill was like, you know, he's

731
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 5: figured it out, and so saw you know, and that's

732
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 5: a good note. And I caught him and just now

733
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 5: my thing was like, you know, figure it out. You

734
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, Like you you're a basketball player.

735
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 5: I went as far as I could with you as

736
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 5: a dad to try to get you positions, and I now,

737
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 5: you got to figure some stuff out playing with a

738
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 5: lot of great players. And so everybody's out for in

739
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 5: that room, you know, with your and le burn and

740
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 5: all those guys. Man you had. I think him the

741
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 5: Igua dollars son was the only underclassmen on the team,

742
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 5: so everybody else was scenes who are who are ready

743
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 5: to sign? And so but it was good for him.

744
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 5: I think he had to compete in practice every day

745
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 5: and so it was a great experience. And then going

746
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 5: to overtime last year was another different experience. So I

747
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 5: just always a big believer and put him in uncomfortable

748
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 5: experience different, So we had to figure it out. And

749
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 5: he's done knocking on wo up at this point, he's

750
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 5: done a good job of figuring it out. Now this

751
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 5: is a different beast coming to college and so uh uh,

752
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 5: you know, routines and all that type stuff. What you

753
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 5: got to do to five minutes and so on. I'm

754
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 5: excited to see how he's gonna he's gonna transition and

755
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 5: what he's gonna do.

756
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 4: We were there for the commitment ceremony at the high school,

757
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 4: and uh, I'm pretty unexpected that there's a Dennis Johnson

758
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 4: jersey comes out basketball jersey. I should say, yes, yeah,

759
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 4: I mean we all we all know there's football jerseys.

760
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 4: But a nice twist there. How cool was that even

761
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 4: though you didn't get to officially uh play a lot

762
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 4: for Kentucky, but you did have a moment with the

763
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 4: basketball program and Jasper used that to make his.

764
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 5: Commitment absolutely and his old his old agent, Nate Conney

765
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 5: was the one that kind of put all that together,

766
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 5: so this would be cool to do this, and with

767
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 5: the Donano's and all that type stuff and Morgan and Morgan,

768
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 5: so it was cool man, just to kind of and

769
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 5: I'm not one of those people I might get about you,

770
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 5: but he wanted to do it. So I'm like, I'm

771
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 5: with if you want to do it, I'm cool with it,

772
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 5: but I never want to. I don't want to deflecting

773
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 5: the tension off famous as his time and doing his thing,

774
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 5: and so I'm excited to see him play, but no,

775
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 5: it was it was definitely a cool moment. So I'm sorry.

776
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 4: Well, just briefly explain how the basketball thing with you

777
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 4: worked where you're the football star and you ended up

778
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 4: with a basketball jersey.

779
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 5: So I used to go work out with him in

780
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 5: the summer, and so we had talked about it when

781
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 5: I was getting recruited. I could play football and basketball,

782
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 5: and so that was kind of the plan of accident.

783
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 5: And so in the summer I would work out in

784
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 5: the UK in the morning basketball, and then at night

785
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 5: time they ever go play, and then what's the Seaton Center?

786
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 5: I would go play. And so I did it up

787
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 5: until football was abroad to start, and so uh after

788
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 5: the outback ball people don't notice, but I flew right

789
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 5: home and started going in the morning. I was shooting

790
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 5: in the morning and working out and stuff. And probably

791
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 5: three or four days before I was going to probably

792
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 5: suit up to play, I was invited to work out

793
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 5: one morning. So how Mommy, tub me and my dad

794
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 5: was sitting at Memorial and I'm like, oh, this can't

795
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 5: be good, and so they wanted to have a conversation

796
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 5: and coach Moummy really wanted me. He's like, if you

797
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 5: want to be an NFL player, you know I had

798
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 5: some risk injury and some hand problems, Like you need

799
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 5: to get stronger and get bigger, and I kind of

800
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 5: want you to be a leader for the basketball or

801
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 5: for the football team. And so my dad was like,

802
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 5: or when you signed a football scholarship and if that's

803
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 5: your goal, then maybe we don't do it. And so

804
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 5: so we made a decision that day for me not

805
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 5: to play. And that was probably the one regret I

806
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 5: have as an adult, not being able to just go

807
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 5: out there. And because I was able to compete, Like

808
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,239
Speaker 5: I said, I was top hundred in the country, come

809
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 5: out of high school, played for son of a curl

810
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 5: a real did his team. We trailed over the country

811
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 5: and so knew a lot of the guys out that

812
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 5: we would have played against. But that was my one regret,

813
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 5: not getting a chance to get on the floor rough

814
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 5: areen and be able to play. But I'll get a

815
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 5: chance to be able to see my son, which is

816
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 5: probably even more special.

817
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned Jash for going to you know Lincoln

818
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: in ot when now he's right down the street. Yeah,

819
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,239
Speaker 2: he's too close. He's leaves just the lodge right down

820
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 2: the street. Is he's he been sneaking home? Was he's

821
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: closed at your house sneaking to mom's vitals? Or is

822
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: he you make any kind of Hey, you still need

823
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 2: to figure it out and stay over there.

824
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 5: I said, I told you before. Man the best thing

825
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 5: they got him, him and Scoular lived together. So they

826
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 5: got a little condo downtown and so the best thing

827
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 5: they did was they took the dog. So now I'm

828
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 5: for true emptynessa but now he actually when I came

829
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 5: home from Florida, uh, my wife im flew in early

830
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 5: that morning, and so I didn't get on to about

831
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 5: seven o'clock, and he was at home and she was

832
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 5: she was doing some stuff to his her. So every

833
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 5: once in a while we'll come back. But I know

834
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 5: what schedule is busy about it. So you know, I

835
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 5: try to preach him that battle routine. I think pros

836
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 5: have a routine means you got to get in a

837
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 5: routine every day. But every once somewhere he'll come want

838
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 5: to get a free meal or I bet take something

839
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 5: out of the pantry or take something from my mom myself,

840
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 5: or looking through stuff. I said, hey, you got your

841
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 5: own stuff. Now you know what I'm saying, you got

842
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 5: your own Another thing.

843
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 4: I ramped up practice there and it's still very early.

844
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 4: I mean yesterday it was first day. To even this week,

845
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 4: we can do twenty hours. But y'all ain't scooped for us.

846
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 4: Anything you've heard out of there, you've been watching.

847
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 5: Well, my buddy called me, text me, Now, I was

848
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 5: watching our golfers, Enrichmond and Ron Brown, who you know

849
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 5: Ron to He said, I'm sitting here with a Raison

850
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 5: and Tayson Washington. You're watching your son play and say

851
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 5: he's shooting it pretty well. And so that's kind of

852
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 5: insight I've got. And I haven't been to practice or anything,

853
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 5: and so I talked to Jeff, but just about you know,

854
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 5: just there are no magic pills to work. Just continue

855
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 5: to work hard and you'll get the resorts you want.

856
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 5: So I've kind of stayed out of it, but just

857
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 5: people from here and there kind of say, if they've

858
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 5: been to practice, I saw him do this or do that.

859
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 5: So I just say, you know, it'll time with Tale,

860
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 5: time with Tals. He's got to go out there and

861
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 5: you have a good time. And like I said, for

862
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 5: a lot of his kid it's it's a ton of pressure.

863
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 5: But you know what I'm saying. So I talked to

864
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 5: him a lot about the mental, mental part of it,

865
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 5: because it's, like I said, any of those kids, the

866
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 5: first time you go out there and lay egg Man

867
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 5: and the people on you. So you gotta be thick

868
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 5: skin and be mainly tough and just uh and just

869
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 5: and just believe in your work.

870
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 2: What do you think his role will be on the

871
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 2: team this year? And what do you want his role

872
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: to be on the team this year?

873
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 5: You know, I think you gotta you gotta go to

874
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 5: find your own practice every single day. I'm a coach

875
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 5: because I get it, you know, And I tell my parents,

876
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 5: every one of your kids is Lebron James and so

877
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 5: there's only one football and eighty five Gays. We're gonna

878
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 5: put the best eleven out there. So you know, whatever

879
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 5: you're doing practice is going to show in a game

880
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 5: and where they trust you to do. You know. But

881
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 5: I think he can he can play a little bit

882
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 5: on the point. I think he can shoot it off

883
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 5: the ball, and so uh, I think You'll be able

884
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 5: to do a lot of different things. I think that

885
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 5: one good thing about Jaspers, he's he knows how to

886
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 5: get people involved. You know, on his You team a

887
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 5: few years ago, he was playing up and so had

888
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 5: all those guys on the team. And the one thing

889
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 5: I like, he was able to find you know, everybody

890
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 5: wants the ball and sometimes you get those lips on

891
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 5: the forehead, like my granny just saying, he was able

892
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 5: to find those guys and get them touches and stuff,

893
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 5: and so so I think he has a Comellion type game,

894
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 5: and so I think he can adapt to whatever. But

895
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 5: like I said, you just got to go out there.

896
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 5: You're playing a in the toughest conference basketball conference in

897
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 5: the country. Man, she gotta go out and just like

898
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 5: you said, every day is a new day. It's a job, Benevident.

899
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 5: You gotta find way to get minutes.

900
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 4: I mean, he obviously played up going to Lincoln Ote,

901
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 4: but now, I mean the SEC's got some grown I mean,

902
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 4: SEC has some football players out there that should probably

903
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 4: be on their second job post college by now, but

904
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 4: they exist. Is he ready to make that big jump

905
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 4: in that challenge and have to get a little more physical.

906
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 5: Absolutely no, I think and like I said, and he

907
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 5: taught me when he came out from USA basketball. He said,

908
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 5: the first few days like, man, you know I was

909
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 5: it was, it was physical, you know what I'm saying,

910
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 5: Just trying to trying to fill itself out. He had

911
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 5: lost some weight when he went to Swiss nobody trying

912
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 5: to get his weight back up. But I just think

913
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 5: you gotta play it a lot, you know, play a lot.

914
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 5: And he valways even when he was young, actually taking

915
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 5: to the Wayne Harris Baray and play with the old

916
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 5: guys and get bumped and knocked around. This is different, right,

917
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 5: but you just gotta you gotta get used to it.

918
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 5: Like all things that you gotta used to it. I

919
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 5: had to get used to it as a freshman. I

920
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 5: was fast in college. But I'm like, man, I didn't

921
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 5: know this guy. These guys from Florida are different, these

922
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 5: guys from you know, Ohio University. In the first few games,

923
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,959
Speaker 5: which is which is not the truth. And so it'll

924
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 5: take some adjustment town for him. But once he once

925
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 5: he gets settle, don't think he'll be fine.

926

942
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 2: remember in elementary school playing the Mercer County All Star team,

943
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: which is basically their seventh and eighth graders, and they

944
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: killed us, and Dennis looks like one of the parents

945
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: got to put on the pads and go full speed.

946
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 5: No, I was telling somebody that I said, me and

947
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 5: my brother used to play youth middle school, freshman in

948
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 5: high school, all in the same week, you know what

949
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 5: I'm saying, and half the practice when you had a

950
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 5: few minutes. So we go from the high school across

951
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,160

956
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: blocked the kids so bad. I'm pretty sure the imprint

00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 2: of the ball is still on the wall over there,

958
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,200
