Speaker 3: I have to think, but you your sunglasses are like

57
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 3: a little I'm just modeling the product.

58
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, it's good, it's good. Okay, So let

59
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 4: me give you a couple of little bit of uh

60
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: news items.

61
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: First of all, if you've listened the last couple of weeks,

62
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: I've talked to you about how you know in Io

63
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: in Io. We got to figure out what's gonna happen

64
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: with in it. Well, they've made two big announcements on Nile.

65
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 3: The first one we talked about yesterday, which was they

66
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: are releasing they Can. The name of it is Kentucky

67
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 3: Blue Light. Kentucky Blue Light is a beer from Gravely

68
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: Brewing here in Louisville that all the proceeds from will

69
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: go to Kentucky and Ile. So it is literally like

70
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: it's basically when you buy one of the beers, you

71
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: will be funding for NIL. I think it's a really

72
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of some other schools have already

73
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: done this, but I think it's a great idea because

74
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: part of the difficulty about NIL is people go, well,

75
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: what do I get out of it? Right? So for

76
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: the beer part, you're gonna if you're a beer drinker,

77
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: you're gonna get it anyway, and then you get it

78
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: now they are gonna release it. It's going to be

79
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: released Monday. It will a couple questions I've gotten asked

80
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: it will not be at the Games. So the way

81
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: it will not be at the Games. I think they

82
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: probably want that eventually, but I just don't think it

83
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 3: got done in time. To be at the games this year.

84
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: I think it's it's going to be in like Kroger

85
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: and that kind of stuff, but then it'll also be

86
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: in some bars. We are actually debuting it on Monday

87
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: and next week. If you go to kas Bar anytime

88
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: between Monday and Sunday, you have to be inside. They

89
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: are giving as part of the in Aisle thing, they

90
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: are giving beer for a year to one person from

91
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 3: Monday to Sunday. Whoa beer for a year.

92
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: I've heard a lot of people. I get excited when

93
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: you said that.

94
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 3: Everybody. Sorry guys, But so from Monday to Sunday, as

95
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: we're debuting it, if you come in beer for a year,

96
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: we'll have a little sign up thing and that works.

97
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 5: I think it's absolutely brilliant.

98
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: I mean, especially even rhymes like like beer for a year.

99
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you think about like, Okay, you're not selling

100
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 5: it in the stadium, but everybody outside telligating it's going

101
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 5: to be drinking that beer. Everybody that's sitting at home

102
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 5: watching the game is going to be drinking that beer.

103
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 5: It's a great idea.

104
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: They're going to bring some of it in here. I

105
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 3: think in a little bit for Drew to tech to

106
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: Drew to try I'll sample so that he can he

107
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: can sample it. But either I think this is a

108
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: really great idea for the program. It's drew the kind

109
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: of creative stuff that I've really wanted them to do.

110
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: A lot of other schools have jumped on that.

111
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: A little earlier than we did, but we're jumping on

112
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 3: it now, and I actually think it will be a

113
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: really great way to to try to continue to raise

114
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: the money.

115
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 6: Absolutely, these are the creative things you have to do

116
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 6: in the NIL world. Not everybody is just gonna sit

117
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 6: down and write a check just to help out and

118
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 6: not get much in return.

119
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: But if you're telling fans you can have a.

120
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 6: Cold beard, a little bit of that will go help

121
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 6: the NIL up fundraising. I think it is a great idea,

122
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 6: and I think it's gonna be a huge success to

123
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be a huge set. Even just

124
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 6: having the can is like a cool thing to yeah.

125
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: Because it so that starts so that I'm glad to

126
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: hear that now. The second thing, and by the way,

127
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: the Nile money for that will go to all of

128
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 3: Kentucky's in aisles and not just not just basketball. But

129
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: then this just got announced this morning. This year, the

130
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: Blue White Game is going to be in Memorial Coliseum

131
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: and the money will all go to Nile, so rather

132
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: than the money going to the UK. These are the

133
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 3: kind of compromises schools are about to have to make,

134
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: which is used to be everything a school would do,

135
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 3: the profit would go to the school, which they would

136
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 3: then use for the athletic budget, coaches, et cetera. Schools

137
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 3: are going to have to start making these kind of compromises,

138
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: which is basically like because the schools cannot directly solicit

139
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: money to NIL, but they can kind of ryan secondarily solicit,

140
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: so they basically can take the Blue White Game and

141
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: give it to Club Blue and say this is yours

142
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: to go make money for. And they've made the decision

143
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 3: to put it Memorial Coliseum. Both the men and the

144
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 3: women's team will play, but it'll be games and it'll

145
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: be six thousand people, which is what that event has

146
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: needed as an atmosphere for a while because it never

147
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 3: would fill up a arena and it would kind of

148
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: feel dead. They included it as part of the season

149
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 3: tickets package. A lot of times people even want to go,

150
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 3: and so it would be this will get I think

151
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: a crowd Ryan that will be very into it. And

152
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: then you know, depending on what they put as the

153
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: ticket prices and all that. I mean, it could raise

154
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: over a million dollars in revenue for Nil.

155
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 7: Well, Drew said, you got to start being creative in

156
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 7: the NIL world. The beer and now this whole Big

157
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 7: Blue Blue White game is brilliant. And a lot of

158
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 7: guys maybe don't want to donate to Big Blue, I mean,

159
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 7: the Club Blue every month, but yet they want to

160
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 7: go to the game.

161
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: They say, hey, let's support them this way.

162
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 7: Let's go to the Blue White game and support Pope's

163
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 7: first debut as a coach and help support Club Blue.

164
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's it's gonna be awesome. I also

165
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: just put aside the NIL Park, it's just gonna be

166
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: fun to watch him in Memorial Colisseum. I mean, I've

167
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: wanted them, people want them to do regular games in

168
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: Memorial Coliseum. Honestly, that's probably just never gonna happen. But

169
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: I used to say, well, let's put Big Blue madness

170
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: in there. Okay, Well, if you're not gonna do that,

171
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: I do think Shannon having the Blue White game there

172
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 3: will give it some energy again in a way that

173
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: really it.

174
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 4: Has not had in a long long time.

175
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 3: So I like that ideal.

176
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 5: I think you're gonna get the most hardcore fans packed

177
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 5: into one spot.

178
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: Right.

179
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 5: Not to say if you put it in up aerena,

180
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 5: you're not gonna have hardcore fans, but it is like

181
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 5: the the fan base that's wanting it the most, that's

182
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 5: gonna be loud, It's gonna be energetic.

183
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: You know.

184
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 5: That's something we've talked about at R Repperina, the lack of

185
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 5: energy sometimes in rough you put it in memorial, it's

186
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 5: gonna be crazy.

187
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: No, it'll be great. Now, this is very good news

188
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 3: to me, both of these because my issue, we have

189
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: two nil issues, at least as I see it. Number

190
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 3: one is one that we're gonna have a very hard

191
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 3: time fixing, which is we just don't have a ton

192
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: of really big money donors. You know, you can go

193
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: back through history and sort of see how this developed.

194
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: Part of it is we don't have a zillion wealthy

195
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: Kentucky alumni. But the bigger issue is when we got

196
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 3: in trouble kind of in the in the in the nineties,

197
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 3: and Ryan you were around for this, A lot of

198
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: it was because of boosters out of control, and UK

199
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: made a concerted effort to kind of push them away.

200
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: Is that fair to say, very fair to say, hey,

201
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 3: guys in the back, just keep it down to a

202
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: dull roar back there, all right? They were, they kind

203
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 3: of pushed them away. And because they pushed them away,

204
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 3: then and it worked. And Cal was not a big

205
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: booster guy, right, he was just kind of like, I'm

206
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 3: gonna do my thing, but now they need him and

207
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: we don't have a whole lot cultivated. And then the

208
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 3: second issue is for me, was is Kentucky gonna be creative?

209
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: You remember Mitch used to say, we're gonna go slowly

210
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: on this. Yeah, right, He's more of a reactor than

211
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 3: being the first Yes, And so I was worried are

212
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 3: we gonna be behind on everything? I'm glad to see

213
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: this stuff. I heard a story about Louisville, and I

214
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 3: don't know if this is true, so let me be clear,

215
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: this may not be true, but it's the kind of

216
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: thing teams are gonna have to do. I heard a

217
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 3: story about how U of L had a guy who

218
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: bought season tickets like three or four years ago, and

219
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 3: as part of it agreed to give a ten year

220
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: donation to their equivalent of the K Fund, whatever that is.

221
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: And it was so much a year for how many years?

222
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 3: And then they've got he's got like six or seven

223
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 3: years to go. They called him and said, I'll tell

224
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 3: you what, rather than giving that money the K Fund,

225
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: will you donate that much to nil every year and

226
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 3: it'll count. Okay, that's the kind of thing that a

227
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 3: school is trying. That's a creative thing. Yeah, I gotta

228
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: make sure. I want to see Drew Kentucky do things

229
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: like that, and these are examples.

230
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 6: Of them doing that. Yeah, and we obviously know what

231
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 6: this fan base can do. So if you're gonna have

232
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 6: events like Blue White in the new memorial putting the

233
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 6: teams together, or you're gonna have a UK branded or

234
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 6: Club Blue branded beer, anything like that, I think you

235
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 6: can make up and cover some ground where you don't

236
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 6: have as many of the big donors as some of

237
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 6: the other schools. Because we know this fan base, they'll

238
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 6: do what they can and if they're getting someone in return,

239
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 6: they'll be very passionate about it.

240
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: Now, the last piece of news is we all kind

241
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 3: of had given up on Jasper Johnson, who is the

242
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: highest ranked player from Kentucky and who is a top

243
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 3: twenty depending on where you look, top twenty to twenty

244
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: five player around around the country. Everybody had basically said

245
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: he's down to Carolina and Bama. Now I think it's

246
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 3: almost certain it's Bama in Kentucky. And when this is over,

247
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: if we get them, I'll tell you what happened. But

248
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 3: everything changed in one night. I mean, I think Kentucky

249
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: went from out to end. I'm gonna pick him right

250
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: now now, I will reserve my right to change. He's

251
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: going to decide like birthdays a week. It's the end

252
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: of August. Now, decide in August twenty eighth, which is

253
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: my birthday. I think he's deciding that day. I think

254
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 3: it could still be Alabama, but I would put I

255
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 3: would put my money on Kentucky now. But again back

256
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: to the creativity thing, I think they actually in a

257
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 3: night kind of flipped the recruitment Ryan and now they

258
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 3: have a chance at Kentucky's tops Kit top Kit.

259
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 7: And I think malachim Reno today is no accident. I

260
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 7: think that they get malachim Reno today, that it helps

261
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 7: persuade Jasper Johnson's friends. They're they're they're they're close enough.

262
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: You know they're not.

263
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 3: Maybe what does that mean close enough?

264
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 7: I mean they'll go to the same school, they don't

265
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 7: plan the summer team, but yet they're friendly enough that

266
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 7: they're It's.

267
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 3: Like, isn't that one? Like didn't Obama say to Hillary

268
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: during the primary, you're likable enough? I feel like I

269
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: think I think he did. I think they're in a

270
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: primary and he said, you're likable enough, Hillary. I feel

271
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 3: like friendly enough is like a little bit like that.

272
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, But I I am a believer that this is

273
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 7: no accident that Malachi would jump his decision before Jasper,

274
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 7: because I think that'll help maybe influence Jasper, and then

275
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 7: they also pick Kentucky.

276
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 6: Adding to Ryan's point, it's not just their connection. If

277
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 6: Marino picks the Cats today, Jasper will see that reaction

278
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 6: and the importance. I'm sure there's gonna be a lot

279
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 6: of people at Great Crossings today that will even put

280
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 6: a little more pressure on Jasper Johnson to be like, look,

281
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 6: how much you're beloved here if you stay home. If

282
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 6: just two weeks before his decision, he sees another five

283
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 6: star player going through it and hopefully picking the Cats, So.

284
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 3: I think it's Kentucky or Alabama for the kid. Now,

285
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, things can change. They changed this week,

286
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: but if you had come up. I mean, I wasn't

287
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: negative necessarily about Kentucky basketball innil early in the week,

288
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: but I don't know that I was like overjoyed. It

289
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: was kind of going, you know, we gotta make sure

290
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: we kind of keep up. I feel so much better

291
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 3: at the end of the week with the combination because

292
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: I didn't even know about the beer until like Tuesday.

293
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: The combination of the beer the decision to make the

294
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 3: Blue White game part of this, and then kind of

295
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 3: some movement on the Jasper Johnson all of a sudden.

296
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: What I was worried is is UK basketball gonna be

297
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 3: UK basketball doing nil? I actually think that's gonna happen now.

298
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: And you know, football, to be fair to them, has

299
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 3: already been ahead of the curve a little bit again

300
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 3: because of Mark Stoops. So now I'm glad to see basketball.

301
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 3: We'll be heading in that direction too. If I'm nine

302
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 3: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, we are here

303
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 3: at Shady Rays coming out, We're going I'm giving away

304
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 3: what eight pairs of sunglasses during the course of these

305
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 3: two hours and.

306
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 5: Green Day tickets. Did you know you had green day tickets?

307
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 5: You got Green Day tickets.

308
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: I'm more excited about the Yeah, I'm more excited about.

309
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 5: The Sasihali pumpkins too.

310
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: Wow, it's like going back in time.

311
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, come on, don't don't sell it short.

312
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: I've told you my smashing Well, i'll tell you to

313
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: the break. I think we'll take a break right back.

314
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: This see is Kentucky Sports Radio. I'll listen to Rick.

315
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 5: The White Stripes.

316
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, water back, it is Kentucky Sports Radio.

317
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 4: Here live, it's Shady.

318
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: Ray's two eighty seven. I want to give a couple

319
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: of things right here real quick to because some things

320
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: people are saying to me. Now, I don't want you

321
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 3: to think I'm ignoring you. So a lot of you

322
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: that listen on podcasts have noted like they've added a

323
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: lot of commercials to the podcast, and they're getting mad

324
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: at me as if I physically insert those commercials.

325
00:14:58,760 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 5: Actually I do.

326
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 4: Why so you don't anymore. I don't know if you've

327
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 4: seen the new system.

328
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: So now, so long story short, our success has both

329
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: been used for us and against us. So because of it,

330
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 3: we're now in the national podcast thing. And so Shannon

331
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: puts in the brakes and they just like random podcast

332
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: go in and like wherever you are in the country,

333
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 3: it'll correspond to it. And they, in my opinion, maybe

334
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: they've put in too many. We're working on it, okay,

335
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 3: so like just so you know, hopefully it won't be

336
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: I mean, there's gonna be ads, but hopefully it won't

337
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: be because some people have said that, and I kind

338
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: of agree with you, like they're making it's out of

339
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: our hands now, but hopefully we can. We can change

340
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: it a little bit, because it went from like thirty

341
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: seconds or one minute to like full ad. So hopefully

342
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 3: we will be able. I mean, you're gonna you're gonna

343
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 3: have ads, but hopefully it won't be like it was.

344
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, we can't control that, but if you do want

345
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 6: to complain. Shannon certainly loves podcast concerns.

346
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: I did like when the podcast was late on Monday,

347
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: Shannon was on vacation and people were still writing, Now, we.

348
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 6: Could have used you on UPO your Opinion day when

349
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 6: need a little more speed on the on the board.

350
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 5: Six hundred dolls away? What do you want me to

351
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 5: do about it?

352
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: A number of people wanted that story so I'll just

353
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: tell you real quick. So, what's the name of the

354
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Bill Billy Corgan? So Billy Corgan

355
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 3: also owns a wrestling company, right, he owns See we

356
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: have a lot in common. He owns n w A.

357
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 3: And we were talking about doing some stuff this past summer,

358
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: right before I went to Europe, and I was at

359
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: my friend Tall's house and the phone rings. He he

360
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: was gonna call me, and the phone rings, and it

361
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,119
Speaker 3: pops up on my phone and it just says Smashing

362
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: Pumpkins in big letters, And I was like, this dude

363
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: has his phone programmed in as when he calls, Smashing

364
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: Pumpkins comes in. So before I answered, I screenshoted because

365
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: I wanted to have the screenshot of the Smashing Pumpkins

366
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: Ryan giving me a call.

367
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 7: I would do the same thing. Well not, it doesn't

368
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 7: happen every day that he's somebody like that's gonna call

369
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 7: you like.

370
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 5: A band phone or something like that.

371
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: I don't know it was his pert, it was him,

372
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: but it was a Smashing Pepkins funck. One person rights Matt.

373
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 3: If we get Jasper Johnson and Malachi Moreno, do you

374
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 3: still think we can get top guys because I would

375
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: assume Pope would want mostly portal guys. Well, I do

376
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: think if they get these two guys, we'll only add

377
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: Drew a couple more guys because I do think Pope's

378
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 3: always gonna be heavy in the portal.

379
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 4: You also gotta remember some of these guys we have

380
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 4: have more eligibility.

381
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: I don't think we need to assume like we did

382
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 3: with Cal, than everybody leaves every year. I think you're

383
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: gonna have guys who stay longer. There's at least six

384
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: or seven guys on this team that have an extra

385
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: year eligibility. So my assumption is this is gonna be different.

386
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: You know, we always looked at Cal's teams as it's

387
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 3: a new team every year. I'm not sure that will

388
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 3: be totally the case here.

389
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, Cal was great going up and loading up on

390
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 6: high school guys, but I think Pope's gonna prioritize people

391
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 6: on his own team and then take three or four

392
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 6: out of the to join a freshman class. One to

393
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 6: watch is Braylan Mullins from Indiana. We're talking about connections.

394
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 6: He actually played with Malacho Marino. We really want that guy.

395
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 6: He's Per for Pope system. It's Stilling, a guy from Indiana,

396
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 6: and as I said, he and Marino are close. I

397
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 6: think today can go a long way with adding him,

398
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 6: and he's someone that can play with Jasper Johnson. So

399
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 6: that's a name i'd watched for as a potential third

400
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 6: in there with our two homegrown talents.

401
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: But we also we all you're probably gonna hear us

402
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: say this one hundred times. We're all gonna have to

403
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: readjust our notion of what a recruiting class means, because

404
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 3: we are not going to recruit like we did with Cow.

405
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 3: We're just not gonna go get five of the top

406
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 3: twenty guys. It's just not gonna happen. Like that's just

407
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: not gonna happen. And so a good class is probably

408
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: gonna be different than what it meant when when Cow

409
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 3: was here, and we just have to kind of keep

410
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 3: that in mind. Let's talk football for just a second.

411
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 3: Preseason All American came out yesterday. Kentucky pretty well represent

412
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 3: Dion Walker first team preseason All American. He's almost unanimous.

413
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 3: There's still one yet to come out, but I think

414
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: he's been picked on all of them. That's amazing to

415
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 3: get a defensive tackle. When you look at the Georgia's

416
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 3: and the Alabamas and the defensive tackle is from Kentucky,

417
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 3: that's a pretty amazing thing. And a couple of the

418
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 3: preseason All Americans Barry and Brown is listed as a

419
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 3: kick returner. He's not on all of them, but he's

420
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 3: on some of them, so he is listed at least

421
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 3: third team, I think on all of them. Maxwell Harriston

422
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 3: makes a couple second and third team preseason All Americans,

423
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 3: and all of that is awesome. I mean, that's three

424
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 3: guys we have who may be some sort of preseason

425
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: All American. But let me ask you a question. Two

426
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 3: years ago, there was a dude from Georgia name what's

427
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: his name?

428
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 6: Johnson, the trans Johnson.

429
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 3: He didn't have his grade a year last year, but

430
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 3: he started and was like third on the team in

431
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 3: tackles for a national championship Georgia team. I don't see

432
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 3: him rated anywhere.

433
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 6: He was actually an All American at Georgia. He just

434
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 6: got injured and kind of slipped down their depth chart.

435
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 6: So he's even got that on his resk.

436
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: The former All American from Georgia.

437
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 4: Is he the dude Ryan that maybe we're forgetting a

438
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 4: little bit.

439
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 7: When Alyssa Lang was on with us this summer, that's

440
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 7: the one guy she highlighted. She it wasn't Maxwell Harriston,

441
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 7: it wasn't Dean Walker. It was Doomas Pop. Johnson called

442
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 7: him doom Us Pop.

443
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 4: Jos Dumas john Pop's his nickname. His last name is.

444
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 6: It's another hyphen. We like the hyphens. Doomis Johnson. Jamons

445
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 6: his real first name, but again.

446
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 3: Jam Doomis Johnson. He goes by pop. Okay, yeah, but

447
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: that's a guy. You know we talk about Brock vandergriff

448
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 3: was at Georgia. We're glad to have him.

449
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 6: Without experience, Doomis Johnson played on those national championship teams

450
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 6: in a star Yeah. I mean, he was a key

451
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 6: part of that defense until he suffered an injury and

452
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 6: then a younger guy came up and played well, and

453
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 6: they just decided to leave the younger guy in and

454
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 6: that's how we ended up with him. But that's not

455
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 6: some project we're waiting to see what happens. That's a

456
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 6: guy that's played real, real football for a national championship.

457
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 3: So what have you heard about him? Ryan? When you're

458
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 3: at your pool parties with all the players running around.

459
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 7: That Derek john Derek Jackson and now Doomis Johnson are

460
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 7: animals like they are studs.

461
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, we don't mention Dereck Jackson enough too. He's right

462
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 6: there in that linebacker group. Weaver back for a sixth year.

463
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 6: That was unexpected. That front seven is loaded studs.

464
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 3: We're gonna be We're gonna be really really good on defense.

465
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: I mean, the offense, you gotta hope it works out,

466
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 3: but the defense I think has a chance to be

467
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 3: absolutely great. If I'm nine two twenty two eighty seven,

468
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 3: who's up first? Caanan is up first?

469
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 4: Caanan, go ahead, Canaan.

Speaker 8: Oh, hello, guys for a time, foller, who are what's up?

Speaker 3: Okay?

Speaker 8: And that was my question.

482
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, that's illegal because where are you from?

483
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 4: Can you mind me asking?

484
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:47,880

Speaker 3: Okay? So Cincinnati. So how did you end up a

00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 8: I've lived in Ohio my entire life, and my dad

491
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 8: kind of just took up Ohio State football and so

492
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 8: it has kind of been part of my.

493
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 3: And I'm going to allow you to do it.

494
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: Brenda County helps him.

495
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 3: But well, because if you said to me, how can

496
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 3: you beat Kentucky and Ohio State, my answer would have

497
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 3: been you better live in Cincinnati. That's what I was

498
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: going to say, is you better live in Cincinnati? Which

499
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 3: you do? Do you cheer for Kentucky football? Yes? All right?

500
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 4: That was a hesitation pick one or the other.

501
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 3: Bro, No, I don't mind you cheer for both because

502
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: we're not really rivals. But you can't bandwagon and only

503
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 3: cheer for Kentucky basketball and Ohio State football. You need

504
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: to cheer Kentucky football and Ohio State basketball.

505
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 4: You got a cheer for the for the struggling ones too.

506
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 3: For sure.

507
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 8: Definitely, yes, all right.

508
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: We'll you're right back. Thank you man.

509
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 4: This is Kentucky Sports Radio quarterback Tucky Sports Radio.

510
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 3: Here lie a shady Rays, great crowd here of Kentucky fans.

511
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 4: Two weeks away.

512
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 3: We are two weeks away from the opening kickoff of

513
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 3: the UK football season. But there'll be football games in

514
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 3: six days week zero. There's games I think next Thursday,

515
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: and game from Ireland as well, week from Saturday. One

516
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 3: person rides Matt, your caller said he was from Cincinnati

517
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 3: and Breathett County. Did J d Vance just call you?

518
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 3: Maybe you're hight like that's his that's him too. Maybe

519
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 3: that was him just taking a little break from the

520
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 3: vice presidential trail and coming on. Another person rides Matt

521
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: tell Shannon to shut up. He literally said, you got

522
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 3: to pick one or the other, bro, and he cheers

523
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 3: for Vandy and Kentucky. Yeah, I get to do that.

524
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 5: That caller doesn't get too forever.

525
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 4: But Kentucky and Vandier at least arguably rivals. Yeah on

526
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 4: the schedule every year.

527
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, but Vandy sucks. I mean it's a sympathy

528
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 5: like I.

529
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 3: Wanted to wait for you to both of you to

530
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 3: be here about to see what you think about the

531
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 3: new Major League Baseball rule they're thinking about starting pitching.

532
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 3: Did you see this?

533
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 5: I don't know if I've seen this.

534
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: So they're considering that they would phase this in over

535
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 3: like four years, so they wouldn't they're gonna decide in

536
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: the offseason, but it wouldn't come in immediately. It would

537
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: start over time. But it would basically be every starting

538
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: pitcher in a Major League baseball game would have to

539
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 3: pitch at least six innings unless they gave up five

540
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 3: or more runs than you could take them out, so

541
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: they don't just have to sit there and get shelled.

542
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 3: But basically to kind of end the practice of bullpen games.

543
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 3: The idea would be every starter has to go six innings.

544
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 3: And the reason they would take it over four years

545
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: is the other They want accomplish two things. One is

546
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: to make starting pitching a bigger thing. But second, they

547
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 3: want guys to not throw their arms out. Basically, they

548
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 3: feel like there's been too many injuries and they want

549
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 3: to overtime get pitchers to learn I'm gonna have to

550
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 3: pitch for six innings, so I can't throw one hundred

551
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: and five miles an hour at the start. And that's

552
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 3: why it would take over years. They'd start in the miners,

553
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: and basically the next generation of pitchers would have to

554
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: learn how to pitch long rather than just throwing as

555
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 3: fast as they can every single time. Do you like

556
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 3: that idea?

557
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 2: I like it, I go first.

558
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 7: I like it because you're right, people don't know how

559
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 7: Bob Gibson and Nolan Ryan, these guys used to throw,

560
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 7: you know, all these pitches all these innings. It's because

561
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 7: they didn't have to come out and throw one hundred

562
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 7: miles an hour than in two innings and just.

563
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: Wear their arms out. They took better care of their arms.

564
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 2: So as far as that goes for the health of it,

565
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: I like it.

566
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 3: For the pitchers, what do you think.

567
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 5: I don't like it at all. I really don't. I mean,

568
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 5: they don't have to come out and throw one hundred

569
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 5: miles an hour if they don't want to. They could

570
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 5: still take that approach and still be able to make

571
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 5: it the same way, but that'd be required to do

572
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 5: it well.

573
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 3: But the theory, what baseball would say, is right now,

574
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 3: it's a smart thing to do. Take your starter out there,

575
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 3: throw four or five as hard as they can, then

576
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 3: take a man, put a bullpen tho as hard as

577
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 3: they can, and offense is way. Offense is down, and

578
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 3: so part of it would be this would help offense

579
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 3: go up, so the era's would probably go up, hitting

580
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 3: would go up. But also you would take away the

581
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 3: incentive that pitchers have now to just throw as hard

582
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 3: as they can if they knew they had to work

583
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 3: for a long time.

584
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 5: Don't we like seeing those hundred miles in hour pitches though,

585
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 5: we do, But I.

586
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 4: Think I've watched more baseball in the last couple of

587
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 4: years than I ever have.

588
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they don't give as me hits. I mean,

589
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 3: the reality is the batting average is the lowest it's

590
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 3: been in like twenty years, and I think so, I

591
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 3: think that's part of what they're thinking.

592
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 4: I like it, and I'll go one step farther.

593
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: Too bad.

594
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 4: If you get up five, you're standing for six.

595
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 3: You give it up twelve.

596
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 4: That's life. You're having a rough game, that's on you, Bud.

597
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 3: You say they have to stay in no matter no

598
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 3: matter what.

599
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 4: It could be fourteen to one, you're riding it out.

600
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 6: What if they're hurt, because I like the one on

601
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 6: well injuries, you know that might be hard to Yeah, injuries.

602
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 6: I guess we'll have to figure out. But I like

603
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 6: the head to head with pitchers like you go in.

604
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 6: No matter what, these two are playing six in.

605
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 5: This is ruinning the game. A guy could come out

606
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 5: and just be completely off. Now if this wouldn't happen,

607
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 5: but let's just say in theory play along, guy comes out,

608
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 5: cannot find the strike zone that has twelve walks. Yeah,

609
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 5: he's got to stay in the game to come on, man, that's.

610
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 4: Not They just keep shooting, you know, it's part of

611
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 4: the game. You had an off note.

612
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 3: Well, I mean they do have a when they give

613
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 3: up a certain amount of runs you can take them out.

614
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 3: Like so there is a I think it may it

615
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 3: was either four or five or and then if they

616
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 3: throw I think over one hundred pitches you can take them.

617
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 3: I mean, they are exceptions. But they don't want to

618
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 3: have what like the Reds do sometimes where they just

619
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 3: pitch a guy for an inning and then they pitch

620
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 3: another guy for an inning. They don't want to do that.

621
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 2: Retch just did that against the Cardinals. They did what worked.

622
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 3: And now it's become this thing where in the first

623
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 3: inning you pitch one of your best relievers because he's

624
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 3: going against the top of the lineup. Throw them as

625
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 3: hard as you can take him out, and then bring

626
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 3: your starter in the second d see, which they don't

627
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 3: want that to happen. Yeah, they're kind of like, we

628
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: don't want to have this situation where the guy that's

629
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 3: pitching the majority of the game doesn't come indo the

630
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 3: second or third is just.

631
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 5: Think you're taking a lot of strategy out of the

632
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 5: game when you do this, and baseball is all about strategy.

633
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 5: It's a chess match up.

634
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 3: I will say this.

635
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 4: I mean, we all were skeptical about the pitch clock.

636
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: I think it made it better. Okay, I was skeptical

637
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: about getting rid of the shift. I think it made

638
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 3: it better, So I think it's at least worth considering.

639
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 3: I'd never thought of it as something that you would

640
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 3: want to do, but I do think it's interesting. A

641
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: five nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven one

642
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: sex machine seven to seven two seven four five two

643
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 3: five four one person rights, Matt, Why am I getting

644
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 3: so nervous about the South Carolina football game?

645
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 4: They're no good, but I feel like the season ends

646
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 4: if we lose.

647
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 6: I don't know if the season ends, but it will

648
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 6: be very deflating to an exciting fing fan base. There's

649
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 6: no doubt about that. That's one of the most important

650
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 6: games home games in a long time. I'm still I

651
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 6: don't want to get carried away and do any KSR cursing.

652
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 6: I just think they're not very good this year, and

653
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 6: with how loaded and experienced Kentucky's defenses. South Carolina's rolling

654
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 6: out a quarterback that has like four pass attempts. He's

655
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 6: a red shirt freshman. Second game, first away game. I

656
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 6: think Kentucky should be in good shape even when Chip

657
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 6: Trainhum's injury, because what we've said about how loaded this

658
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 6: defense is and how much football they've already played.

659
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 3: I mean, if you think about it the last few years,

660
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 3: I mean, one of the criticisms of Kentucky has been, well,

661
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: they win four or five games in a row, and

662
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 3: then they'll win.

663
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 4: But what does happen Ran is our fan base stays.

664
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 3: Locked in all year, right because we win the first

665
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 3: four or five games, et cetera. I do worry if

666
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 3: they were to lose that first game. Now, if you

667
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 3: win that first game, you played Georgia the next week,

668
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 3: even if you lose, people will be fine. Then you're

669
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 3: gonna play Ohio, you'll win that. Then you play Old

670
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 3: Miss on the road. That's gonna be a top five

671
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 3: or six team on the road, and then you get

672
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: a bye.

673
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 4: So you still will have be engaged.

674
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: But if you were to lose to South Carolina and

675
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 3: then lose to Georgia and then lose to Old Miss

676
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 3: and go into the bye two and three, I do

677
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 3: think it will be harder because that's when Pope's basketball

678
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 3: will start. It'll be harder to keep this fan base

679
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 3: engaged if they were to lose that South Carolina game.

680
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 7: That's all we've been saying is since the schedule came out,

681
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 7: that South Carolina game is the most important game of

682
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 7: the season. For what you said and for perception purposes,

683
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 7: you can't South Carolina beat you three years in a

684
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 7: row when you used to own South Carolina.

685
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: And Phil still always does this thing. I mean, we

686
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 3: make fun of him, but he he does one thing

687
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 3: that's interesting. He takes every team and he creates what

688
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 3: they call their swing game. Right, So like in the

689
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 3: presidential race, Pennsylvania is the swing state. Whoever wins that

690
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 3: usually wins. He picks the game on your schedule that

691
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 3: basically defines whether or not you're gonna have a good year. Right,

692
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 3: If you win it, it'll be your good year. If

693
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: you lose it, it won't. For Kentucky, he has South

694
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 3: Carolina as like, you better already have won it. Our

695
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 3: swing game to him is Florida on the road. If

696
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: you win it, you'll have a good year. If you

697
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 3: lose it, it'll be disappointing. But he's already putting South

698
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: Carolina as a you better win that game on his thing.

699
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 4: I agree with him.

700
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 6: And you gave the kind of a worst case scenario.

701
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 6: What if you beat South Carolina, we'll call it Georgia loss,

702
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 6: but you steal that one at Old Miss when you're

703
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 6: not possible and you're going into the bye week at

704
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 6: four and one having only lost to Georgia.

705
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 4: I mean, if you got set you up for a

706
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 4: special year.

707
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's set that up. You beat South Carolina, you

708
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 3: lose to Georgia, beat Ohio, beat Ole Miss, you go

709
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: on the bye week four and one, you still have

710
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: on the back, and you immediately come back with Vandy

711
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 3: And now you're at five and you still have games

712
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 3: Auburn at home, which you can win, Florida on a

713
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 3: road which you can win, like you still have Louisville

714
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 3: on the at home, and all of a sudden you

715
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 3: got a schedule where you go, oh, wait a minute, Ryan,

716
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 3: we can do something. Yeah.

717
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 7: If South Caroline's most important game, I agree with you

718
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 7: that game at Florida is maybe the second most part

719
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 7: because that's a winnable game. You still win on the road.

720
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 7: Your other road games are tough, but you get that one. Yeah,

721
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 7: you're now you set yourself up for something special.

722
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 3: I mean our road games we got Drew and im Fade.

723
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: This went through all the schedules in the SEC. Our

724
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 3: road game list is about as tough as any I

725
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 3: mean we we probably have the toughest road game list

726
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: of I mean going to Texas, Old Miss Tennessee, and Florida.

727
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 3: There aren't too many teams that have a harder set

728
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,479
Speaker 3: of four road games than we do. Who's next?

729
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 4: Dan?

730
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: Is up next?

731
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 5: Dan?

732
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 3: Go ahead? Dan?

733
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 9: Hang guys, I want to go back real quick to

734
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 9: yesterday where you started the show with people kind of

735
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 9: losing their minds with that you saying the expectation or

736
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 9: for Kentucky fans should be somewhere between six and eight

737
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 9: wins I don't necessarily agree with or disagree with you

738
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 9: on that. I do think that that's the most likely

739
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 9: scenario of going into each year. I guess to give

740
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 9: the opposing view of where people you might lose some

741
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 9: people on that would be when you state that where

742
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 9: Kentucky is right now is the best we will ever be.

743
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 3: I mean, but again, I don't see that as a negative, okay,

744
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 3: because I think where we are is amazing. But when

745
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 3: you say, but give me something besides hope and like

746
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 3: you can do anything, young man, going that makes you

747
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: believe we can be as a program significantly better than

748
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 3: we've been.

749
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 9: Recently, well onion, I don't necessarily think that that's our

750
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 9: expectation for every year.

751
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 3: But to give me an example, though, you still you

752
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: gotta give me something besides we can do it.

753
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 4: What is a rational reason we can do it?

754
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 9: Well, just the fact that I mean, to me, if

755
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 9: you're saying it that way, man, if I get if

756
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 9: I can see that to you, then to me personally,

757
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 9: there's really no point in playing the games if you've.

758
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 4: Not there is I mean, no, but you because you

759
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 4: get you fired. Let me let's say you're.

760
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: A fan of Eastern Kentucky basketball. Okay, your season ticket

761
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 3: holder of Eastern and now, look, Kentucky basket fotball is

762
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 3: a lot better than Eastern Kentucky bastball, don't get me wrong. Well,

763
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 3: but let's put a different Let's say you're a fan

764
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: of Old Miss basketball. Do you expect to win the

765
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 3: national championship?

766
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 4: Ever? If you're an Old Miss basketball fan.

767
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 9: Well, the fact that, well, there's the difference. I wasn't

768
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 9: gonna bring up basketball because I thought you would make.

769
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 3: But I mean, it's asking again answer my question. Do

770
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 3: you would you, as an Old Miss basketball fan ever,

771
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 3: expect to win the national championship?

772
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 9: Well, with the way basketball set up and there being

773
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 9: a tournament where you get hot, then that is something

774
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 9: that's possible. But the way you say that Kentucky football will.

775
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: Butever, Okay, I mean, everything is possible in the eye

776
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: of the Lord. But what I'm saying is objectively, Old

777
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 3: Miss has probably been to the Elite eight once. So

778
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 3: if you're an Old Miss basketball fan, you probably sit

779
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 3: there and go, let's be real, We're never gonna win

780
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 3: a national championship. But you still get joy out of

781
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 3: the games. You still gonna have fun, You still want

782
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 3: them to be as good as they possibly can be.

783
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 3: You still get moments like Stevie got loose, beating LSU

784
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 3: when they're number one, winning the Citrus Bowl against You

785
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 3: still get these moments that are great. If you sit

786
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 3: there and say we as a program are not successful

787
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 3: until we win the SEC championship, you are just asking

788
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 3: to be miserable for the next eighty years.

789
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I agree. Like I said, I do

790
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 9: agree that the most logical expectation to have is somewhere

791
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 9: in that and maybe you get a ten win season.

792
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 9: But I do think it's a little dangerous, just a

793
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 9: little bit to say that where that is that line

794
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 9: that ten win every now and then is the best

795
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 9: you can ever be. That just to me, that just

796
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 9: sets a ceiling that you can't break through ever.

797
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I appreciate it's clost first, what I believe.

798
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 3: I mean, do I think they can make ryan one

799
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 3: year where they win or not ten games? When we've

800
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 3: won nine so clearly we can do that. Do I

801
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 3: think there's a year where we could win ten, make

802
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 3: the playoffs, maybe upset a team or two. Yes, in general,

803
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 3: if we win seven or eight, I'm gonna be happy,

804
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 3: and I think people who say it's time for us

805
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 3: to take the next step, I just don't know how

806
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 3: you can think that when we do not have and

807
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: I don't know that we will ever have the systematic

808
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 3: stuff ring to make that happen. If we weren't in

809
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 3: the SEC, it's a different conversation. If we were in

810
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 3: the ACC like Louisville, Yes you could win ten. They

811
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 3: won ten last year and they stunk. But it's different

812
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 3: when you're in the SEC.

813
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 7: At the nature of the beast, you play that SEC schedule,

814
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 7: it's never gonna get any easier. SEC football is just

815
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 7: gonna get better and better. And that's your schedule every

816
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 7: single year.

817
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 3: You're a Vandy fan when Vandy plays football, yeah, and

818
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 3: you know they're never good. They barely have a winning season.

819
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 5: I'm just there for the beer and the hot dogs.

820
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 3: Yes, we're not like that. My view is that season

821
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 3: Missouri had last year. Our goal should be let's be

822
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 3: like Missouri was last year about once every four years.

823
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: And then you to me that would be great.

824
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 6: And as we learned yesterday, I fade this and I'm

825
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 6: gonna go listen to it. There can be a season

826
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 6: where the schedule is a gift. Missouri schedule this year.

827
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 6: If we had that, yes we're talking about a ten

828
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 6: win season, but uh can don't look a lot more difficult.

829
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 6: And it's just it's gonna be very and what the

830
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 6: SEC puts in front of you each season.

831
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 3: Go look at Missouri schedule this year. If we had

832
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 3: a really good team and we got Missouri, Like, look

833
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 3: at Missouri schedule this year, we could win nine or

834
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 3: ten games with Missouri schedule.

835
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 4: I'd be disappointed.

836
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 3: We all play Missouri schedule. We play our schedule. And

837
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 3: they just brought some of this Kentucky Blue Light beer

838
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 3: in here, and I was just.

839
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 5: Saying, I'm just here for the beer on the hot

840
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 5: dogs or it's the hot dogs.

841
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. We'll take a break.

842
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 3: They're gonna taste it during the break, and we'll tell

843
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 3: you how it is right after. This is good sports radio.

00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: we like it.

850
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 6: I give it a ten out of ten, actually eleven

851
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 6: out of ten, a bonus point for being able to

852
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 6: help UK get better can. I really think the can's

853
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 6: gonna help it sell even more. I mean that's a

854
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 6: cool thing, just.

855
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 5: To have presentations nice, like you said, cool label, taste,

856
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 5: good taste like a good light beer.

861
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 3: know on the show Monday what stores it's in and

862
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: where cool. I think it'll take a while for it

863
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 3: to roll out everywhere, and it'll be in a lot

864
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 3: of bars, but I don't know which ones win. But

865
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 3: we do know we will have it at Ksbar Monday

866
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 3: through Sunday, and somebody will win for a year if

867
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 3: you come in at some point during that time.

868
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 6: Adam Lucky just reminded me, remember Stops quote last year

869
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 6: pound some Beersta.

870
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 4: They gotta bring that back.

871
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 3: That's exactly right, right, Ryan, you're kind of our resident historian.

872
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 3: Although these aren't old players. But the UK Hall of

873
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 3: Fame class was announced, we didn't really get to go

874
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 3: over it. Let's go over real quick. Jody Meeks superstar man.

875
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 2: You know he was a superstar.

876
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we most points in a game. Jody

877
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 3: deserves a round him. Applause. That's great.

878
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 7: I love the fact that too, that after his playing days,

879
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 7: Robby came back to Kentucky finished his degree. Just one

880
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 7: of those guys. I think it's just not just a

881
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 7: great player, but a really good person.

882
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 4: From right here in Louisville, Kentucky. Corey Peters football player,

883
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's the.

884
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 6: Uh had a class with Corey Peters. I actually got

885
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 6: aggravated with film. You know, athletes, there's kind of a

886
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 6: stereotype that dude's set in the front of the class.

887
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 4: He'd be the guy like sir, we forgot the quiz today?

888
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 4: Yes he did. I mean he was very studious.

889
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 6: That he got on my nerves because I wanted to

890
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 6: be in a fun class with the football players. But

891
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 6: he's up there asking questions, keeping us after class, and

892
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 6: then he's gone on and he had a great career

893
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 6: and did a lot with education.

894
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 3: Jill.

895
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 4: I think he had some kind of book clothes.

896
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 3: He played in the NFL for a long time. People

897
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 3: don't realize how long he played in the NFL. I

898
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 3: don't know how it was many years, wasn't it. Yeah,

899
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 3: Becky mud still be there.

900
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 7: Also, he can get he deserves credit for kind of

901
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 7: opening that door for Kentucky to recruit kids from Louisville.

902
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: You're exactly right. I mean, we've owned this city in

903
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 3: the last decade and he was one of the first

904
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 3: ones to break through that kind of like Winston Bennett

905
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 3: did in Louisville Mini Many for basketball. He kind of

906
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 3: broke through and Kentucky guys got people in Louisville. Two

907
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 3: track stars Sidney McLaughlin Lavarni and Jasmine Camacho Quinn, both

908
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 3: of whom won medals at the Olympics. I didn't think

909
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 3: they were old enough to be in the Hall of Fame,

910
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 3: but they're both in the UK Hall of Fame for.

911
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 4: Capitalizing on that moment.

912
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 3: That's it.

913
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 7: I think when you get a gold medal, they wave

914
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 7: off all the other requirements. So, yeah, you want to

915
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 7: gold medal, you're automatically eligible to be in the Hall

916
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 7: of Fame.

917
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 3: Maybe that may be true because they used to be

918
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 3: just like you had to be out of UK for

919
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 3: five years. But Congrats to both of them. They both

920
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 3: deserve it and easy picks. Do you know Henrik Larson

921
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 3: from the rifle rifle coach.

922
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 2: He was, he's the godfather of the rifle team.

923
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 7: I mean he started it. He's to have been the coach.

924
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 7: He that's his baby right there, So he deserves me

925
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 7: in the Hall of Fame.

926
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 4: And finally, John Crop, just.

927
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 7: Legendary administrator at UK. You know they named the John

928
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 7: Crop the softball complex is named in his honor. He's

929
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 7: just one of these mainstay guys that have been with

930
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 7: that university to get his heart and soul for just

931
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 7: twenty thirty years.

932
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 3: Congrats to all of those folks for making the UK

933
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 3: Athletics Hall of Fame. Who's next? Rick Hookaloona, Jared is

934
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 3: up there, Jared, go ahead, Jared.

935
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, a couple of thanks here. I think big

936
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 10: thaingous football schedulers down here, longtime, last two years. But

937
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 10: they're projected to be in the bottom.

938
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 3: Four just there.

939
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 10: So if we lose that so that three years in

940
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 10: a row, I think that's what makes us uneasy about

941
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 10: the future. To think like that, it seems like we're

942
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 10: kind of falling back and not even flat toely.

943
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 3: No, I think that's a very fair point. I mean,

944
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 3: if you're ranking, I appreciate the call. If you were

945
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 3: power ranking the SEC football this year, Shannon probably South

946
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 3: Carolina is fourteenth out of sixteen. It's probably Fandy sixteen,

947
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 3: Mississippi State fifteen. They're probably fourteen. So he can't lose

948
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 3: to them at home. He can't lose to the fourteenth

949
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 3: power ranked team in your homestate.

950
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you do lose that game, it doesn't end

951
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 5: your season, but definitely does something for you know what

952
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 5: doesn't do anything for fam morale. It makes it go down.

953
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 5: But later on in the schedule, you got to make

954
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 5: it up somewhere, right, you got to pull off an upset. Maybe,

955
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 5: you know, the Tennessee game, one of those games you

956
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 5: don't expect to win.

957
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 3: Mark Stoops built his program around really passing South Carolina

958
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 3: and Missouri on the food chain. We kind of passed

959
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 3: them and then we would alternate beating Mississippi State, and

960
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 3: that's kind of how we built the program in some ways.

961
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 3: Then we ended up passing Florida kind of took like

962
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 3: another little step. You don't want to regress backgrind to

963
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 3: where you were before.

964
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, when you're better than South Carolina, you have better team,

965
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 7: better players.

966
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 2: You got that game at home. You have to win

967
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 2: that game.

968
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 3: Yes, you do. A five, nine two eight h twenty

969
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 3: two eighty seven. We are here at Shady Rays. Malachimo

970
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 3: Reno makes a commitment in the second hour that more

971
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 3: will take a break and be right back. This is
