And then during the that Star single band 109 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 4: it was red, white and blue. 110 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 5: Did it work? 111 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 4: Yeah?

Like it? 112 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 5: Like it? 113 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 4: I think it executed well. 114 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 3: And theos for WrestleMania that year, you and I wet. 115 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 4: We did have theresia. That's right, because they turned the 116 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 4: lights off and you just see the It's a very 117 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 4: it's a cool little feature they did that senior day 118 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 4: was very nice. It was actually you know, it still 119 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 4: makes your heart, what is it palpitate during the during 120 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 4: the mild Kentucky home? Are you supposed to take your 121 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 4: hat off from my old Kentucky home? I was. 122 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 6: I had a moment where I looked around it because 123 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 6: I started to and no one else did. 124 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 4: The time was because you take it off for the 125 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 4: national anthem. But why don't we take it off from 126 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 4: my old Kentucky home. Is there a reason it. 127 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 5: Is the state song for the Kentucky. 128 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 4: Or is it like why first of all, why do 129 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 4: we take our hat off? I saw Trump didn't take 130 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 4: his hat off. That used to be a respectful thing 131 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 4: back in the day. Now I don't know that we did. 132 00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 3: Much like you wouldn't get at a dinner table with 133 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 3: that hat on. Back in the day. You had to 134 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: take the hat off. 135 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 4: But I feel like it takes it off for the 136 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 4: national anthem. This, oh, we still do that, but other 137 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 4: things in life. I am of the opinion we should 138 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 4: take our hat off for my old Kentucky home. And 139 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 4: as avowed, hat wear. I still think you you should 140 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 4: do it. Nevertheless, it was very pretty Marlene van Huss 141 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 4: that was great, and I'm thinking, Okay, here we go 142 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 4: eleven nothing, then we fight back. Yes, it's twenty to nineteen. 143 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 5: I think it's a ballgame. 144 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 4: It's on like Donkey Kong thirteen oh run in two minutes, yeah, 145 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 4: very fast, two minutes thirty three nineteen and then's over 146 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 4: all game is over. Kind of like the game down 147 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 4: there in the sense of we fought pretty well with 148 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 4: them from the vast majority of the game, but a 149 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 4: run just it was over. 150 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 6: The beginning killed you. Kentucky won like the last thirty 151 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 6: eight minutes of this game, but when you went down 152 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:58,799 Speaker 6: eleven zero and just never. 153 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 4: Had the lead, never took the lead, that was the key. 154 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 4: They never took the lead. 155 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 6: I know Florida's awesome and all that, and Kentucky's not there, 156 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 6: but Home Senior Day, at least lead at some point 157 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 6: with that kind of crowd and that energy and what's 158 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 6: at stake. 159 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 4: Eighty minutes against Florida this year haven't led one second. 160 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 4: That's bad. 161 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 5: Their dudes are better than our dude, so their. 162 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 4: Dudes are great. There's no shame in losing to Florida. 163 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 4: I do think there's a shame in being blown out. 164 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 4: I know the final score was seven, and we actually 165 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 4: ended up covering the opening line, which is one of 166 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 4: the craziest backdoor covers of all time. I don't think 167 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 4: we were within seven much, not at all, and then 168 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 4: we finished within seven. 169 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 5: This is twenty two because everything else prior to the 170 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 5: game kind of set up for us. You know, Arkansas 171 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 5: beat Missouri. 172 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 4: If we had won that game, we'd be the four seed. 173 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 4: That's crazy, and everything's set up. We'd be a for seat, 174 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 4: we'd have a double by, we'd be dancing. Instead, we 175 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 4: play the first game against I would argue the best 176 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 4: of the bad teams LSU. I think LSU. I don't 177 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 4: think we could have come out worse. Like even if 178 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 4: we'd been the ten seed, we would at least been 179 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 4: on the other side of the bracket from FOM. 180 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: We were down eighteen to that team in the game 181 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: they played in the regular season. 182 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 4: Yes, we're we were down eighteen to the sixteen. We 183 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 4: were down teams to the sixteen seed. So yeah, it 184 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 4: couldn't set up worse. And you know, I give Mark 185 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 4: Pope credit. He said we're going down there to win. 186 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 4: But so now we're nineteen and twelve on the year. 187 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 4: I said after the game, I give the season like 188 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 4: a C minus or a D plus. I'm kind of 189 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 4: still there. I can't give it an F because we're 190 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 4: gonna make the tournament and we have some really good wins. 191 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 4: We won at Arkansas, beat Tennessee twice, beat Vandy, beat 192 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 4: Saint John's, who's gonna be a probably a two seed 193 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 4: in the tournament, beat Indiana. So I can't give it 194 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 4: an ALF. I can't give it though, higher than like 195 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 4: a C minus because of the losses to all If 196 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 4: you want to know what was the problem with our season, 197 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 4: go look at the fact that all these teams tied 198 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 4: with the same record and we were last in the tiebreaker. 199 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 4: Why is that? Because we lost to mediocre teams all year. 200 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 4: We lost to George at home, we lost to Missouri 201 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 4: at home, We lost to A and M when we 202 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 4: should have won. That's the problem. The problem with this 203 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 4: year was not Saturday, even though we should never lose 204 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 4: by that amount. The problem was everything else that leads 205 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 4: to us playing at one o'clock on Wednesday? Do you agree, 206 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 4: completely agree? 207 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 6: I know the SEC is better, and I mean I 208 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 6: still say, well, Florida has figured it out. I don't 209 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 6: like that excuse, but it's not so good that Georgia 210 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 6: should be ahead of you and Missouri should be ahead 211 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 6: of you, and these teams that have been at the 212 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 6: bottom forever. You've lost your grip that much that you're 213 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 6: now in the bottom half of the standing. 214 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 4: He lost those teams at home. Yes, you got those 215 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,599 Speaker 4: games at home. That's that. The Missouri loss, which was 216 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 4: the second game of the SEC, and then the Georgia loss, 217 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 4: which was two weeks ago, that's those are the ones 218 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 4: that ultimately killed us. 219 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 5: I know you read Aaron Fleener's tweet on the Postgame Show, 220 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 5: but that's it. 221 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 4: Well, Aaron Fleeiner hit it. You know, he's caddies on 222 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 4: the PGA tour and then he makes good points. He's great. 223 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 4: He said, watching Florida is what we used to be. 224 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 4: I miss that. 225 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 5: I miss that. 226 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 4: That's it. That's a fair point, and you can put 227 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 4: everything else aside. That summarizes the point. Florida has done it. 228 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 4: There was a guy that called the Postgame Show and 229 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 4: he was like college basketball is different now, and he 230 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 4: was kind of using that to excuse it, and I 231 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 4: said sort of in the moment, and I agree. So 232 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 4: Dukes figured it out right, Florida's figured it out, Yukon's 233 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 4: figured it out, Houston's figured it out. Those teams are 234 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 4: good every year every year, and in the last couple 235 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 4: of years, Michigan's figured it out right. Alabama, why can't 236 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 4: Kentucky Kansas? So that's really not an excuse. The SEC 237 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 4: is better. But look at a team like Houston. Houston's 238 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 4: good every year, every year, and the Big Twelve is 239 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 4: this year the best conference and they're good every year 240 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 4: and it's Houston, So why can't we be And they 241 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 4: don't even spend money like we do. Why can't we 242 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 4: do it? 243 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 6: There's no doubt the sport's completely different and the SEC 244 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 6: teams are better, But we can't just be like, well, 245 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 6: everybody's better, let's go home. I guess we can't compete 246 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 6: now because it's changed. No figure it out and continue 247 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 6: to dominate. Maybe you won't be winning every single year 248 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 6: in the SEC like you were because teams are better, 249 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 6: but ninth. You can't just say it's changed, Well we're ninth, 250 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 6: everyone's better. That's the loser mentality. 251 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 4: So if you like college basketball history like I do, 252 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 4: you can look at college basketball as there are the 253 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 4: seismic shifts over history in the structure of the sport. 254 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 4: So you start when college basketball first starts, Kentucky starts 255 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 4: to take it seriously before everybody else, and that's why 256 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 4: we're so good in the forties and fifties. We take 257 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 4: the business of college basketball seriously before anybody else, and 258 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 4: we dominate early. Then integration is the next big change, 259 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 4: and Kentucky is slow on it, and UCLA specifically jumps 260 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 4: in and says and they treat recruiting as big business. 261 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 4: And then UCLA has a period of dominance. Then you 262 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 4: get to the late seventies and early eighties and recruiting 263 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 4: becomes national and kind of dirty, right, and some teams 264 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 4: jump on it Indiana, Georgetown, Kentucky, North Carolina, and they 265 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 4: then become the cream of the crop. And then it 266 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 4: switches and all the games end up on national television, 267 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 4: and it becomes a sport based on brands. And in 268 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 4: the nineties, if you're a brand, you matter, Duke, Kentucky, 269 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 4: North Carolina, there's your nineties. Then it kind of switches 270 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 4: again to the one and done world and we are 271 00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 4: at the forefront again. Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, North Carolina kind 272 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 4: of holds back on that and they slip. Well, now 273 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 4: we're in the next seismic change, which is inile and portal, 274 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 4: really post COVID, and for the first time maybe in history, 275 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 4: since integration, we were slow to integrate and it hurt us. 276 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 4: For ten years, we've been slow on this. We were 277 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 4: at the forefront when college basketball started the nationalization of 278 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 4: college basketball, the sort of blue blood era of every 279 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 4: game being on television and the one and done era, 280 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 4: Kentucky was at the forefront. We were not at integration 281 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 4: and it hurt us. So four eras we did it, 282 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 4: one we did not. And now this is era number 283 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 4: six and we've not been at the forefront. And because 284 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 4: of it, we're watching these their teams leap to the top. 285 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 4: And we're now doing what in history programs have done 286 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 4: when they haven't adapted. We're finding ourselves in the middle, 287 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 4: and we got to change it quick. You know. 288 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 5: Hearing you go through all that just makes me scratch 289 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 5: my head because this cooking staff when they came in, 290 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 5: I thought they were going to be way ahead of 291 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 5: the curve. Proactive they're smart, they know all about modern basketball, analytics, algorithms, everything, 292 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 5: and yet where it's going to happen hasn't happened. 293 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 4: So that's what worries me. There's a seismic shift and 294 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 4: you have to do it early or you get left behind. 295 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 4: It's early and we're getting left behind. We'll take a break. 296 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 4: Very back, KSR, welcome back. Take you Sports Radio five 297 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 4: nine twenty two eighty seven. One person rides to MAD. 298 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 4: I agree with your point that we should be more consistent, 299 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 4: but you com was an eight last year and lost 300 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 4: in the second round, but they were coming off back 301 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 4: to back titles. I mean, you're not You're not even 302 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 4: be good every year, but you got to be. 303 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 5: Good some year, and they're back good again this year. 304 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 4: There are six years since COVID. We've had one really 305 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 4: good regular season in six years, and we lost to 306 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 4: Saint Peter's in the tournament that year, so we've been 307 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 4: to the second weekend once. That was last year. But 308 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 4: it's subjectively. If you were to list post COVID would 309 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 4: have been the best programs and you were to just 310 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 4: blind resume it and not have the names on it, 311 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 4: I think we would struggle to be in the top twenty. 312 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 4: We would probably be somewhere between seventeen and twenty if 313 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 4: you're talking about consistent over those years. You know, in 314 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 4: the SEC during those years we would be behind Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, 315 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 4: and Holior. We would be probably be fifth in those years. 316 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 5: I don't think there's any debate about that. 317 00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 4: So you know that is what it is and why 318 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 4: it is is. I think a variety of things downfall 319 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 4: of cow and sort of how his years went, Kentucky 320 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 4: being slow on in IL and then Kentucky being once 321 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 4: they got the innisle where they needed to do, with 322 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 4: Pope being poor in its distribution. On this year's team, 323 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 4: I think last year's team pretty good all things consider. 324 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, And with the way things move now, for one 325 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 6: and your big picture thoughts, you can get left behind 326 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 6: faster than you would ten years ago. Teams can catch 327 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 6: up in just a couple of months in an offseason now. 328 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 6: Where he used to take a slo Hey Lucas at 329 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 6: Miami and one year he turns that around, Yeah that's 330 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 6: impossible ten years ago. Yeah, But the same like when 331 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 6: you hire a new coach and you have that excitement, 332 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 6: you need to capitalize on it. Those bucks that came in, 333 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 6: you know. 334 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 4: They might not keep going. You need to perform and 335 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 4: keep that energy going. 336 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 6: And if it dips, that's where you start to get 337 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 6: left behind a little bit. 338 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 4: Yeah, you or when you're having to hire, that's the 339 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 4: time to make your your move. It's like when you 340 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 4: when you meet a new significant a new woman, or 341 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 4: a new made If it's not sexy and hot at 342 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 4: the beginning, it ain't gonna get better.

And you watch those two 361 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 4: and they're exit up, like if you call time out, 362 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 4: you knew that play was cut will work coming out 363 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 4: of the timeout on both teams. You just knew it 364 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 4: was Michigan State's problem is they just got the same 365 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 4: lumbering dudes they've had for twenty five years. There after 366 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 4: the game said, I ain't Nobody's little brother.

But but I but you know, 373 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 4: and I thought Mark would do that and and he 374 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 4: can at moments, but he just hasn't gotten it done 375 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 4: with this group. 376 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 5: So you're right. We did have is sexy and hot 377 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 5: at the beginning. Why is it faded then? As the 378 00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 5: deal was not good? 379 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 6: But though it was good. So what hot. What Michigan 380 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 6: did in year one is hot. I mean we had 381 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 6: a good first year. I'm not downplaying that. It was 382 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 6: there two for him, but still, I mean we haven't 383 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 6: reached hot with Pope. We had a good first year, 384 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 6: but I mean they went straight. 385 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 4: Up, yeah, I mean they you know, after every loss 386 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 4: you get, you get this group of people online who 387 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 4: are like, you know, Matt Jones and ks R ran 388 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 4: off a Hall of fame coach. Put that to the side. 389 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: That's an absurd argument. And the hall of Fame coach 390 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 4: wasn't gonna work here anymore. But everyone listening knows that 391 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 4: this isn't right. Yes, everybody knows that. I mean at 392 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 4: the game Saturday, it was interesting. It wasn't anger. It 393 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 4: was like sadness. Did you get that sense? I should 394 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 4: have taken a picture. I couldn't believe how many people 395 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 4: were leaving at the seven and a half mark. Now, 396 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 4: the ones that stayed got into it and had some 397 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 4: belief there when they're trying to come back. But Mario, 398 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 4: you're there at seven and a half time out. 399 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 6: You could look up and the upper level steps had 400 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 6: a lot of people on their way out. 401 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 4: On scene to blame them. I mean, like, I don't 402 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 4: blame the fans because we have had so many games 403 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 4: this year where we've just been losing the whole game, 404 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 4: so I said on the postgame show, and I have 405 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 4: not checked this, so I'm gonna assume the person is correct, 406 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 4: but they could be wrong. But I said, I wish 407 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 4: somebody would add up the amount of minutes we've been 408 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 4: losing and we've been winning this year. Now we're nineteen 409 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 4: and twelve, and this includes games against bad teams, or 410 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 4: presumably we were winning almost the. 411 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 5: Entire game, but weren't. 412 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 4: Not always, but most of the time we were, we 413 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 4: were winning most of those games. We've still been losing 414 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 4: more minutes, oh yeah, than which we have a winning record. 415 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 4: So that does say we come back. But in Power 416 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 4: Conference play, sixty percent of the minutes we have played 417 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 4: in the Power Conference play, we've been losing sixty of 418 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 4: the minutes, which means fans have been watching us just 419 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 4: lose a lot and a lot. 420 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 6: You know something, they came back, but a lot of 421 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 6: us looking up at the scoreboard is in Rupperina and 422 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 6: you're losing to logos where you never see them winning 423 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 6: in Rupperena. Like bn Ozero and two against Georgia, Pope. 424 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 6: That's insane. Georgia has been a joke of the SEC 425 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 6: for as long as I can remember. 426 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 5: It wasn't that long ago. Ten lost Tubby. They were 427 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 5: rady to run him out of town. And if I'm 428 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 5: not mistaking, Billy Gillespie's two year record is not much 429 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 5: different than. 430 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 4: The Glassbie's two year record is two games worse than this, 431 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 4: two games worse. 432 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 5: We ran those two guys, are RADI to run him 433 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 5: out of town. 434 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,719 Speaker 4: I do think Billy would have been back if not 435 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 4: for the off court stuff. I think he would given 436 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 4: him a year, but he made it to where they couldn't. Now, 437 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 4: with all that said, we do have to talk about 438 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 4: the other part of this, which is Knucklehead Sports Radio. 439 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 4: That's next TJ Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. 440 00:22:59,320 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 3: He'll make them back. 441 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 2: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. 442 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones, Welcome. 443 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 4: Back Tekey Sports Radio A five nine two eight h 444 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 4: twenty two eighty seven, text machine seven seven two seven 445 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 4: four five two five four one person rights, Matt, you 446 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 4: say that cow wasn't gonna work here and we're supposed 447 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 4: to take it as fact that your opinion. I'm sure 448 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 4: it was gonna work out with Cal. Look at self 449 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 4: at KU. I was ready to say that until we 450 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 4: lost to Oakland and Saint Peter's two out of three years. Yep. 451 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 4: I mean, And I'll remind you Self did have a 452 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 4: lot of bad losses in the tournament in the early 453 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 4: part of his career, and there was some pressure on him, 454 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 4: like people were ready to run him off. The difference 455 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 4: was it was the early part of his career. This 456 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 4: was the late part of Cal's career, by the way. 457 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 4: But if you want to say it would have worked here, 458 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 4: that's fine. I will remind you that Arkansas last year 459 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 4: was the non seed in the SEC tournament. And by 460 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 4: the way, if you want to have confidence going into 461 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 4: the tournament, just say what look at Arkansas last year. 462 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 4: They were the nine seed, early lost that first game, 463 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 4: should have lost. South Carolina was ahead and had a 464 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 4: chance to win, and then Arkansas came back. They won. 465 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 4: They didn't lost their next game, but then they made 466 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 4: a run to the sweet sixteen in the tournament. So 467 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 4: you could say, well that could that beat Kentucky, could 468 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 4: we beat LSU lose to Missouri, go to the tournament 469 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 4: and win two games. 470 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 5: Yeah we could, Absolutely we could. 471 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 4: And that's so that's the confidence part. But you can't 472 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 4: sit there and look to me, look at me, and 473 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 4: go should have kept col If you're so mad about 474 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 4: this year, that's the year he had last year. They 475 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 4: started the conference one in six last year, so you know, 476 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 4: the disappointment in this program starts for me at COVID, 477 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 4: which spans two coaches. Yeah, right now, let's talk about 478 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 4: Mitch Barnard for a second. So Mitch Bartinard has his 479 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 4: going away press conference, which we were not able to, 480 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 4: uh to go to. I heard it was a nice affair. 481 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 4: There was a lot going on. It was a lot. 482 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 4: It's a big celebration, big celebration. A bunch of people talked, right. 483 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, well why in president you lost in a video? 484 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 6: And then Mitch talked for a long time. I'm not 485 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 6: gonna I may have had something to do. 486 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 4: I'm kind of surprised the president's not there, Like you 487 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 4: guys have been partners for a decade and you send 488 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 4: a video. I mean, you know, I would understand if 489 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 4: like the presidents send a video. But like he said, 490 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 4: he was quote President of the United States, the president University. 491 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 4: You would think would be there, but he was not. 492 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 4: What did he say. 493 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 5: They said he was out of town. 494 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 4: I think he's in Alabama. Okay, well, but out of town. 495 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 4: They got plans. So it's actually a fine affair. And 496 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 4: in classic mixed bart and heart, he can't quite get 497 00:25:54,960 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 4: through it without expressing grievances. And here is what he 498 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 4: had to say. 499 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 3: All I've ever done in my life is work. 500 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 7: So this notion that this golden parachute is falling from 501 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 7: the ceiling and I'm gonna sit in the rocking chair 502 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 7: and eat hey is ridiculous garbage. And that notion that's 503 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 7: started by some couple two or three knuckleheads needs to end. 504 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 7: I'm excited about working. I'm not done. 505 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 4: That's why I have many comments about this. Like literally, 506 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 4: I could take almost every word. Okay, is it a 507 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 4: golden parachute? 508 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 5: Yes, of course it is. 509 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 4: Of course it is. Even if he does everything that 510 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 4: the executive for the Commissioner of the Initiative of Sports 511 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 4: and Workforce done, it's still a golden parachute. Would they 512 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 4: hire someone off the street and pay them nine hundred 513 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 4: and fifty thousand dollars for that job to do the job. 514 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 5: It does absolutely not say and when they. 515 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 4: Hire someone for nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars to 516 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 4: be a career placement officer. 517 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 3: Not unless your name is Mitch Barnhardt. 518 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 4: No, I don't know what the career place officers that 519 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 4: you can't make, But it ain't nine hundred and fifty 520 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 4: thousand dollars. What is it? You think eighty hundred? Maybe? 521 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 7: So? 522 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 4: Yes, it's a golden parachute. Period. Now, some people may 523 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 4: deserve golden parachutes, maybe Mitch Barnhart does, but don't insult 524 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 4: me and say it's not a golden parachute it is. 525 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 4: Then he says, gonna sit in a rocking chair and 526 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 4: eat Hay. First of all, I don't even think you 527 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 4: eat hay. 528 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: Who eats horses? 529 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 4: Just chew on it? Did I ever any points suggest 530 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 4: he was going to eat Hey? I don't think anybody did. I. 531 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 4: I will go on record and say I do not 532 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 4: believe Mitch Barnhart's gonna eat Hay. Rocking chair maybe noir 533 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 4: a rocking chair. I like a good rocking chair. Some 534 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 4: people's problem with my problem with this is that not 535 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 4: that I don't think he's going to work. Sure, I'll 536 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 4: give you he's work. He's gonna work, Shannon, I'll give 537 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 4: you works forty hours a week. 538 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, on paper right. 539 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 5: Entering emails. 540 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 4: I don't think this is a job that is worth 541 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 4: nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. It's allegedly 542 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 4: in the academic department, but being paid by athletics. Why why. 543 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 4: I think it was originally gonna be paid by academics 544 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 4: and the school. And Linda Blackford wrote her article and 545 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 4: people are like, ooh, that's a bad look. If we're 546 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 4: sending out emails that says we're doing budget and staff 547 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 4: cuts and we're now paying this guy to come and 548 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 4: place people at Kodak, you know. 549 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 6: On the same day, on the same day, Kodak Kodak, 550 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 6: they're coming back. 551 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 4: So they were like, well, wait a minute, we'll put 552 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,959 Speaker 4: it back in athletics. What is this The UK athletic 553 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 4: people's problem is not that you're going to do nothing. 554 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 4: Here's a secret, mitche people are gonna be worried you're 555 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 4: gonna do something. They're worried you're gonna shout out a 556 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 4: new ad. Stick your nose to what people are worried about. 557 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 4: When people get mad at criticisms and then respond to 558 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,239 Speaker 4: the criticism that people are not making, it shows that 559 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 4: they don't really have an answer for the criticism they 560 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 4: are making. You cannot tell me he will have no 561 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 4: role in athletics and then pay him from athletics. If 562 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 4: you want to pay from academics and say he's over there, 563 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 4: that's fine, but then you have to deal with the 564 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 4: people who say, should we be paying this guy a 565 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 4: million dollars from academics? But if you're going to be 566 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 4: painting from athletics, then people are going to say, well, 567 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 4: now I'm worried he's going to be this. 568 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 3: The word sports is in his title. 569 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 4: Sports, so I don't I'm not saying he's going to 570 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 4: like put his nose into whoever the new idea is. 571 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 4: But you can understand why people would say that, especial 572 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 4: if it's somebody that has worked underneath him. Let's then 573 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 4: go to the nickels. Next sentence started by two or three. 574 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 5: Okay, hello knucklehead number one. 575 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 4: Just because I have a legitimate concern about this contract 576 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 4: that so far, no one from the university has publicly 577 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 4: made a statement about or taken one question that doesn't 578 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 4: make you a knucklehead. If it does, then I'll wear 579 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 4: a T shirt that says a hoodie that says knucklehead. 580 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 4: Is Linda Blackford a knucklehead? 581 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,479 Speaker 5: She's probably knucklehead? Number two is Drew is Ryan? 582 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 4: Okay? How about the amount of fans who have a question? 583 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 4: Are they all knuckleheads? 584 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 6: One of their biggest donors use the golden parachute word. 585 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 6: He called him a knuckle. 586 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 4: Censor's probably given the second or third most money to 587 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 4: UK athletics in the last twenty years. Is he a knucklehead? 588 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,239 Speaker 4: There's a lot of people that have these questions, and 589 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 4: what happens with these leaders at the end is they 590 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 4: just decide I am king and the mere fact you're 591 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 4: asking me a question makes you a knucklehead. I don't 592 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 4: care if you've got every maga hat in the world. 593 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 4: So you know that's what Trump does? You know it, 594 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 4: Cal did it, Mitch does it. Every question is like 595 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 4: I give credit, Pope doesn't do this. Every question is 596 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 4: like you are questioning my authority. 597 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 5: Great video. 598 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 4: You are allowed to ask questions and it doesn't make 599 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 4: you a knucklehead. If we get to the point in 600 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 4: society that it is not good to ask a question 601 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 4: of your leader. We become something completely different. This is 602 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 4: a public university, man. You get to ask questions. 603 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 5: You need to ask questions. 604 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 4: Now maybe there's a good answer, but answer it. Don't 605 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 4: say that the question is somehow a knucklehead, right, And 606 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 4: then finally he ends it by going needs to stop. 607 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 4: Why why? Why should we listen to you and ask 608 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 4: no question? Who made you king? You are an official 609 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 4: paid for by the people in this state. You get 610 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 4: to ask questions, and it doesn't get to stop just 611 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:41,959 Speaker 4: because you say so. It doesn't. Mitch Barnhardt is a 612 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 4: great man. He is. He does a million things for 613 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 4: this community. He's done a million things for UK athletics. 614 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 4: But he is not above questioning. And neither is President Capaluto, 615 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 4: Eric Monday, Andy Basher, Donald Trump, anybody. That's what we're 616 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 4: supposed to do. You ask questions, and what you should 617 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 4: do is answer it, not yell at people for asking 618 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 4: the question. That's what I'm tired of. And in all 619 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 4: that celebration Mitch, which he deserves, he deserves all of it, 620 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 4: you gotta end it by out the door, going pay 621 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 4: me a million dollars a year. And shut up, shut up. 622 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 4: And by the way, yeah, on my way out, they 623 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 4: gave me one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year 624 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 4: raise for four years. That's six hundred thousand dollars. They 625 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 4: gave me a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bonus, 626 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 4: that's eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars. And they added 627 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 4: another year to my contract, which is nine hundred and 628 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars, which means on the way out the door, 629 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 4: they added one point eight million dollars in salary that 630 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 4: the school was not required to pay me, and they 631 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 4: just did it and don't ask one question about it. 632 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 4: If that makes me a knucklehead, then I'm glad to 633 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 4: be the head knuckle We'll be right back, Welcome back, 634 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 4: take you sports radio. A lot of people have strong 635 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 4: opinions about my rent. 636 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 5: That's a good little rant you did right there. 637 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,720 Speaker 4: I'm not I'm I think I sounded angry. I'm not angry, 638 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 4: but I also am a big believer in when you 639 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 4: work for a public institution or a government job, they're like, 640 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 4: we have to put trust in you to do that right. 641 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 4: I don't think the general public should get to end 642 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 4: like at make every decision. Everything doesn't go up to 643 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 4: popular vote. But that also means it's imperative. If we're 644 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 4: going to as citizens, as UK fans put trust in you, 645 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 4: you have to expec to us what you're doing, right right. 646 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 4: I think that is completely fair. I think it's fair 647 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 4: for coaches, for everybody. 648 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 5: Like That's why journalists are so important. They need to 649 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 5: ask me. They're to ask these questions. 650 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 4: And fans have these questions too. It's easy just to 651 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 4: dismiss it, Drew as it's a handful of people. This 652 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 4: radio show is listened to by more people than any 653 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 4: radio show for a local sports team in America. If 654 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 4: they thought I was out of control and not positive 655 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 4: in all this, they wouldn't listen. People don't want to 656 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 4: listen to somebody just rail on the team. We want 657 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 4: them to win. And if I got too negative, the 658 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 4: fans would show me by tuning out. But they don't 659 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 4: because they feel the same way. Not all of them, 660 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 4: but most of them. 661 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 6: Would you agree with this, especially on this one? I 662 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 6: said recently, we can't agree on anything as a fan base. 663 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 6: We fight over if Poe should have called a timeout 664 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 6: or who should have taken a shot. But it seems 665 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 6: like on this we might be all one hundred percent 666 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 6: on all right, what's going on? 667 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 4: You may think he deserves this. I think I go 668 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 4: back and forth. But the one point eight million dollars 669 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 4: of extra money that we didn't owe him, that we 670 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 4: just all of a sudden gave him that sketch it is. 671 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,919 Speaker 4: We didn't even owe him that. We just gave it 672 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 4: to him. Why And those ten lifetime tickets aren't cheap, 673 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 4: that's book expect to one point eight million. Some of 674 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 4: this stuff we owed him in his previous contract, but 675 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 4: we did not owe him this one point. They just 676 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 4: added it and the board of trustees did not approve it. 677 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 4: Now they don't have to under the bylaws, but they 678 00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 4: only one person approved it the present, and he didn't 679 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 4: show up to the press conference. One person approved this 680 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 4: deal and he didn't even show up. Hello, does nobody 681 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 4: think that's weird? 682 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 5: Read between the lines? 683 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 4: Maybe? 684 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 6: And I mentioned this during the break, Mitch went, I'll 685 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 6: take a few questions, a few questions, and if I 686 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 6: don't like him. It was like, my god, you're always 687 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 6: telling on yourself. That's exactly right, you're telling on yourself. 688 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 6: He played off as joking. But I've seen a lot 689 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 6: of Mitch Barnart press conferences. This is what they are. 690 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 6: I hated the one when he set by Stoops. He 691 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 6: called us in on a Saturday to basically just yell 692 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 6: at us about the Stoops cow thing earlier or last fall, 693 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 6: whenever it was. I think it was John Hale's like, hey, 694 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 6: is the an Ale thing good enough? It's like, my goodness, 695 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 6: every time you talk, we're getting yelled. 696 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 4: At one time I had a conversation with Mitch that 697 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 4: was a positive conversation. Okay, it was not like a nag. 698 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 4: This was a few years back, and in it he 699 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 4: kind of started braiding me a little bit. Not in 700 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 4: a bad way. He was not like it was we 701 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 4: were and he said and at one point I said 702 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 4: to him, I say this respectfully, Mitch, I don't work 703 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 4: for you. Okay, we are talking because I want this 704 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 4: to be a good relationship, because I want you k 705 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 4: to win, But I don't work for you. I think 706 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 4: he thinks everyone the media works for him, and I 707 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 4: think he thinks in some ways the fans if not 708 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 4: work for him, like and I think that's a mistake. 709 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 4: And I I'm now switching a little bit. I'm not 710 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 4: so mad. Like if somebody said to me, Shannon, here's 711 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 4: two million dollars extra, do you want it? 712 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 5: You're gonna take it. 713 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,879 Speaker 3: You're gonna take it, of course you are. Anybody would. 714 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,839 Speaker 4: But why did they give it to him? And how 715 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 4: come the people that gave it to him are not speaking? 716 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 5: Yeah? Why I'm all for giving a guy a retirement 717 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 5: a watch, yeah, or or like Drew said, even just 718 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 5: the country club memberships. Maybe the some tickets. 719 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 4: I'm fine with that. Tickets don't bother a lot of 720 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 4: people the game brought up to me the tickets. The 721 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 4: tickets seem to get at people. It tends a lot oddly. 722 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 4: That doesn't bother me. But there are a lot of 723 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 4: people that have brought up the tickets. That doesn't bother 724 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 4: me as much. But I'd be okay with it. 725 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 5: Tickets, country club memberships a lot. 726 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 6: And those ain't cheap, and that's for life. Those could 727 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 6: be sold. Yeah, what about what you have a. 728 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 5: You know they gave like we brought up, they brought 729 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 5: bought to see him a house in the Bahamas? 730 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 4: Was that controversial at the time. That feels like that 731 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 4: would have been caught I'm gonna buy you a house 732 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 4: in the Bahamas. 733 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 5: Of course, you know this before social media, so it 734 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 5: didn't get as much run as it probably would have. 735 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 5: But that's not that's not as excessive, I think as 736 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 5: this is. 737 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 6: No this was more Yeah, sure, what I hate is 738 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,399 Speaker 6: this is money game now, even if he doesn't say 739 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 6: a word in the new Athletic Director. The new athletic 740 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 6: Director has nine hundred and fifty thousand on the books 741 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,919 Speaker 6: every year when fans go to donate money, we're gonna 742 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 6: have to get over that hump before start paying a 743 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 6: shooting guard like this is owed to him through athletics, 744 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 6: and they're going to be asking people to help with 745 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 6: their budget when no one wants to pay that. 746 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 4: And Andy Staples, who's a national college football reporter, he wrote, 747 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,919 Speaker 4: I don't think you're gonna get an AD that does 748 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,919 Speaker 4: not have a connection to Mitch Barnhart, because no AD 749 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 4: is going to want to come and have Mitch Barnhart 750 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:19,879 Speaker 4: in the building. 751 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 5: Fair point looking over your shoulder the whole time. 752 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know ads, so it's hard for 753 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 4: me to know that. But I think you know, if 754 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 4: you were doing betting nods, the chances you get a 755 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 4: person with no connection to the to the staff, I 756 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 4: think goes down mm hm. 757 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 6: You know, also, whose job was it to place people 758 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 6: in sports already? Because they just got their under the bus. 759 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 4: Bombs and then not only did they get bump shit 760 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 4: and they were like, look, you've done such a bad job. 761 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 4: We are quintupling the salary that we pay for this. 762 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 3: The whole situation just does not. 763 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,800 Speaker 4: And by the way, there might be I want to 764 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 4: be clear about this, there might be a reasonable explanation 765 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:05,760 Speaker 4: for all of this. Okay, there might be, and maybe 766 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:11,320 Speaker 4: one will show itself. But that's why you ask the question. 767 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 4: That's why the question is important. Right, you can have 768 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 4: an answer, but that's why the question is important. And 769 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:28,240 Speaker 4: you know, I I don't want to be down this path. 770 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 4: It puts me in a weird spot. It puts the 771 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 4: people that I get along with in UK in a 772 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 4: weird spot. It puts my employer in a weird spot. 773 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 4: But you know what, it'd be a lot easier for 774 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 4: me just to move on. But you know, some things 775 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 4: have to be brought up. Somebody's got to say it 776 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 4: because the fans think it at least a lot of 777 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 4: So that's where we are now. I do want to 778 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 4: completely switch gears because I am excited about football and 779 00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 4: I am excited about talking to will Stein. We haven't 780 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 4: talked to him since he got hired. He's going to 781 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 4: join us. Spring practice starts tomorrow, yes, and he's going 782 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 4: to join us. Cross your fingers on the technology because 783 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 4: there's a lot happening here. During the break, we'll be 784 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 4: right back to Kiazark
