Speaker 2: by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington. And after a
Speaker 2: three day weekend, we are back. We are live here
Speaker 2: on a Tuesday where I am looking at a hopefully
Speaker 2: less grumpy Billy r Sports He was he had his
Speaker 2: grumpy pants on Friday at the Mountain Laurel Fest. I
Speaker 2: don't know what was going on with you, buddy, but
Speaker 2: you sound like you're in a little bit better mood today.
Speaker 3: All right, everything, Oh, I'm good man, I'm good.
Speaker 4: Everybody has those days stuck my foot in my mouth
Speaker 4: a little bit talking about engagement photos on Friday.
Speaker 3: So we're not getting into any of that today.
Speaker 4: But I could get used to four day workweek, Shannon.
Speaker 4: They want to give us more three day weekends. I'm
Speaker 4: here for it.
Speaker 1: What did you do on your time off? Anything fun?
Speaker 4: I did a little grilling on the gas grill. That
Speaker 4: thing is so easy to start that you just make
Speaker 4: a little chicken fajeta whenever you're feeling hungry. So I
Speaker 4: did a little bit of that, did some golf and
Speaker 4: shinn and actually played two rounds as I get ready
Speaker 4: to play Matt Jones on camera one of these days
Speaker 4: at the very nice TPC Tates Creek here in Lexington,
Speaker 4: and just kind of hung out Shannon. You know, sometimes
Speaker 4: the best times are when you don't have anything planned,
Speaker 4: and so just relaxed a little bit, watched the Crazy
Speaker 4: Indie five hundred.
Speaker 3: So did some fun stuff this weekend.
Speaker 2: What about you, man, Well, you know, I had to
Speaker 2: make it a tough choice. Either I sit at home
Speaker 2: and do nothing.
Speaker 1: Which sometimes with my schedule, that's the best thing to do.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, just sit home and.
Speaker 2: Do absolutely nothing. But I go, you know what, it's
Speaker 2: Memorial Day weekend. People are going to be traveling. I'm
Speaker 2: one of these people that have really bad fomo fear
Speaker 2: of missing out, you know I'm talking about so if
Speaker 2: I feel like other people are having fun, and I'm
Speaker 2: sitting at home.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't stand it, Billy. So I decided, you know what,
Speaker 2: We're gonna do a little quick road trip. We're gonna
Speaker 2: go to the place where dreams were made, Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Speaker 2: PROMPTU trip to gatlin You know all the talk about
Speaker 2: the Gatler, all the talk about Gatlinburg and Ryan getting
Speaker 2: married in a Gatlenburg chapel. I didn't want to get married,
Speaker 2: but I was like, you know what, let's go to Gatlinburg.
Speaker 2: It sounds like something that's not too far away and
Speaker 2: maybe we could have some fun.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't bad at all, Billy.
Speaker 2: I got thought that, you know, Gatlinburg Memorial Day weekend
Speaker 2: would be crazy. Wasn't actually that bad at all. Traffic
Speaker 2: wasn't that bad. The strip wasn't all that crazy with people.
Speaker 2: Actually ran into a listener on a trill while I
Speaker 2: was walking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I did.
Speaker 2: I got a selfie with them. So yeah, I had
Speaker 2: a good weekend. Man. You know, It's it's not all
Speaker 2: taffy and go karts down there. There's like some decent
Speaker 2: little restaurants you can go have dinner at. Had a
Speaker 2: nice steak dinner one night lift.
Speaker 4: And I didn't do the lift tub and your cabin, Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, didn't do it cabin. That was the other thing too.
Speaker 2: I was like, how are we going to book something
Speaker 2: that you know two days before?
Speaker 1: How are you going to book something?
Speaker 2: But we were able to find a nice little hotel
Speaker 2: right there on the strip, So I'm like, you know
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 1: I had a good time. Look, I know people give
Speaker 1: Gatlinburg a hard time. I actually enjoy it.
Speaker 2: I think it's you know, for a day or two,
Speaker 2: it's fine, but then after two days couldn't do it.
Speaker 1: I ran into a guy that was a local set
Speaker 1: there at the bar with him.
Speaker 2: It was like, man, how do you stand living in Gatlinburg, like,
Speaker 2: you know, being a local around here with all these
Speaker 2: people that were coming around? And his answer was, you
Speaker 2: know what, it's really cool because I get to talk
Speaker 2: to people from all over the world anytime I come
Speaker 2: in here. Because everybody's always on vacation, everybody's always having
Speaker 2: a good time, so I get to meet people from
Speaker 2: all over the world.
Speaker 1: He said.
Speaker 2: The only drawback is if I want to go to
Speaker 2: like a home depot, it's a four hour road road trip.
Speaker 2: It's like you know, because traffic is so bad. He's like,
Speaker 2: you know, if I got to go to home Depot,
Speaker 2: I got to leave like on a Tuesday at six
Speaker 2: am and get there and get back in a reasonable time.
Speaker 4: So that's great perspective to have living in a tourist
Speaker 4: trap and you get to see people from all walks
Speaker 4: of life.
Speaker 3: But you know, I'm kind of with you, Shannon. It
Speaker 3: gets a lot of hate, but you can have a good.
Speaker 4: Time in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I mean, you get
Speaker 4: me to the Moonshine Tasting of the Little Wine Tasting.
Speaker 2: We don't think we didn't that. Come on, don't think
Speaker 2: we didn't do that one, two, three times exactly three
Speaker 2: different times.
Speaker 3: That is so much fun.
Speaker 4: But speaking of drinks, I had some of the corn
Speaker 4: Bread Hemp seltzers. They were nice enough to send them
Speaker 4: over to me.
Speaker 3: Shannon. I don't know if you've had these yet.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had one over the weekend.
Speaker 3: It's really good, man, really good. Shout out to Cornbread
Speaker 3: Hemp and all the great things that they're doing.
Speaker 2: Yep, you can get those in liquor stores throughout Kentucky.
Speaker 2: So check that out.
Speaker 1: Billy.
Speaker 2: The big news for Kentucky. Kentucky baseball makes the NC
Speaker 2: Double A Tournament. That is three straight trips to the
Speaker 2: NC DOUBLEA Tournament, the first time in Kentucky baseball history.
Speaker 1: Billy.
Speaker 2: They've made three consecutive trips to the NC DOUBLEA Tournament,
Speaker 2: So a bit congratulations to Coachminge and the the Batcats.
Speaker 2: They'll be playing in the Clemson Region and they'll be
Speaker 2: playing West Virginia at noon on Friday on ESPNU. You
Speaker 2: might remember they played West Virginia just a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago in the NCAA tournament. So congratulations to Kentucky
Speaker 2: making the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 1: Billy.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think we're gonna get to see it though,
Speaker 2: because Friday at noon, we're gonna be out at the
Speaker 2: KSR Golf Scramble.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna be at the KSR Golf Scramble. If
Speaker 4: they pull me off the golf course to work that
Speaker 4: baseball game, Shannon, I'm gonna be livid, But I am
Speaker 4: happy that the baseball team made it, like you said,
Speaker 4: the third straight year, and that is such a great
Speaker 4: accomplishment and a necessary accomplishment to keep this momentum building, right, Shannon,
Speaker 4: I mean so much excitement off the back of making
Speaker 4: the College World Series and winning a game versus NC
Speaker 4: State and walk off fashion. But then you lose seven
Speaker 4: of your nine starters and you wonder if nickmn jone
Speaker 4: can go to the transfer portal and do this again.
Speaker 3: And with thirteen teams making.
Speaker 4: The NCAA Tournament field from the SEC and Kentucky only
Speaker 4: winning what less than half of their series this year,
Speaker 4: it was they were squarely on the bubble, but maybe
Speaker 4: a little safer than we thought. They weren't one of
Speaker 4: the last four teams in so it's great to see
Speaker 4: Kentucky will be competing in the Clemson Regional. They take
Speaker 4: on West Virginia and double elimination, so even if you
Speaker 4: drop one.
Speaker 3: You can still make some noise.
Speaker 4: I do want to shout out my Western Kentucky Hilltoppers
Speaker 4: as well. It's the first time in sixteen years that
Speaker 4: they bring AGAINCACA Tournament. I had to get it in Shannon,
Speaker 4: come on. Some congratulations to both teams Western and Kentucky.
Speaker 4: Also Murray I think is in the NCAA Tournament field,
Speaker 4: So Kentucky is representing very well. But excited to get
Speaker 4: this thing started. On Friday for UK Baseball.
Speaker 2: You mentioned that record in the SEC. Part of the
Speaker 2: reason why you can get into the NCAA Tournament with
Speaker 2: a record like that in the SEC is because, like
Speaker 2: you said, yet, what thirteen teams that made the NCAA Tournament.
Speaker 2: Your top four seeds overall are SEC schools. Vanderbilt, Texas, Arkansas,
Speaker 2: and Auburn all your top four seeds in the NCAA
Speaker 2: Tournament from the SEC.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be tough for Kentucky.
Speaker 2: West Virginia, a team that comes in at forty one
Speaker 2: and fourteen overall this year, Kentucky's gonna be the underdog
Speaker 2: going in. But like I said, it's double elimination. And
Speaker 2: when you get into pitching matchups, it all comes down
Speaker 2: to that you know the strategy right of pitching matchups
Speaker 2: because you watch you know some of these games, same
Speaker 2: two teams play, you get two completely different results. It
Speaker 2: all starts with who's on the hill.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I heard Darren talk a little bit about this morning
Speaker 4: on the Leach Report talking about West Virginia, how they
Speaker 4: they played so well to start and they've calling fallen off,
Speaker 4: maybe just a little bit lost in the Big twelve tournament,
Speaker 4: So maybe not playing their best.
Speaker 3: But you know, Shannon, we've seen this Kentucky team have.
Speaker 4: So many leads throughout the year and then it gets
Speaker 4: to the bullpen and it just kind of gets away
Speaker 4: from them. So, you know, and a lot of times
Speaker 4: we say a team blows a game, but sometimes you
Speaker 4: just got to tip your cap and say, you know,
Speaker 4: a good SEC team went out there and hit good pitches.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 3: Well, I mentioned those SEC series.
Speaker 4: Kentucky lost six of their ten SEC series this year
Speaker 4: and we're swept twice, but then you see them win big.
Speaker 3: Series versus Tennessee. They suite Oklahoma late, so it's definitely
Speaker 3: in them.
Speaker 4: But you know, you know baseball, Shannon, it's it's any
Speaker 4: given day, right Like you go out there and Ben
Speaker 4: Cleaver could go out there and throw you eight shout
Speaker 4: out innings. Another day you're gonna have to have a
Speaker 4: bullpen game. So it's I trust in Menjie and they've
Speaker 4: been there before.
Speaker 3: This is the.
Speaker 4: Standard to make the NCAA tournament. So now that they've
Speaker 4: made it, you know, you can kind of throw the
Speaker 4: records out.
Speaker 3: Anything can happen.
Speaker 2: I just don't know that I trust the bullpen. I mean,
Speaker 2: Kentucky coming out.
Speaker 3: On a gym, but not the bulls.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like you know, if I'm men, I'm
Speaker 2: trying to get every single out that I can out
Speaker 2: of my starting pitchers just because we've seen the bullpen
Speaker 2: shaky at best. I mean, we're coming in off of
Speaker 2: a four game losing streak, but three of those games
Speaker 2: that the entire series against Vandy, it could have swept Vandy,
Speaker 2: I know, yeah, you know, and it all came down
Speaker 2: to blowing leads and all three of those games and
Speaker 2: when he went to the bullpen, things just kind of
Speaker 2: fell apart. Now, speaking of Vanderbilt, they won the SEC Tournament,
Speaker 2: but I got a fair or foul I want to
Speaker 2: ask you about for Vanderbilt. Did you see I don't
Speaker 2: know if you watched any of the game, you probably did,
Speaker 2: and Vanderbilt ole miss in the championship game. But former
Speaker 2: Vandy football coach James Franklin was hanging out in the
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt dugout and he's buddies with Tim Corbyn, the Vanderbilt
Speaker 2: baseball head coach. But to make things even more awkward,
Speaker 2: Clark Lee, the current Vanderbilt football coach, is sitting out
Speaker 2: there in the stands while a former football coach is
Speaker 2: in the dugout during a championship game. I mean, I
Speaker 2: would think that would be a little bit distracting. It
Speaker 2: turned out not to be, but I mean bringing in
Speaker 2: a former coach into the dugout during.
Speaker 1: A championship game.
Speaker 2: Let's be like Kentucky, Let's say playing in the championship.
Speaker 1: Game and yeah, I don't know, like.
Speaker 2: I guess not Joker Phillips because it's been so long
Speaker 2: since Joker Phillips was the head coach. Let's say that
Speaker 2: Kentucky's playing in the championship game for baseball and John
Speaker 2: Caliperry's in the dugout with MinJe On.
Speaker 1: That would that be a little awkward?
Speaker 3: I mean maybe, But I mean I think we're all adults.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: I don't think Clark Lee and James Franklin are going
Speaker 4: to get in a cat fight about him being in
Speaker 4: the dugout and it's.
Speaker 1: The championship game.
Speaker 3: Maybe it maybe it would be served as a distraction.
Speaker 4: I would say more foul to have anybody in the
Speaker 4: dugout than it is to have James Franklin, specifically, because
Speaker 4: I'm fine with welcoming back older coaches, right, I mean
Speaker 4: we Kentucky fans welcome back Rick Patino to rep Arena recently.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you wanted to continue that example.
Speaker 1: Team, I was not sitting on the bench during a game.
Speaker 3: No, No, he's not.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm not saying he's you know, is
Speaker 2: it awkward for him to be at the game? No,
Speaker 2: of course not in the It's like the equivalent of
Speaker 2: a guy sitting on the bench in a basketball game,
Speaker 2: a former coach just showing up and just sitting there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess I'm not. I mean, I'm not angered
Speaker 4: by it by any means. I guess Tim Corbin, the
Speaker 4: baseball coach, and James Franklin had a good relationship back
Speaker 4: when James was back at Vandy. And look, James Franklin
Speaker 4: did a lot of great things for Vanderbilt. He should
Speaker 4: be remembered fondly there. So I think he comes back
Speaker 4: as a I don't know if conquers the right word channel,
Speaker 4: but somebody that should be revered, right, I mean, like,
Speaker 4: this is a guy that's actually done good things for
Speaker 4: the program. So it it didn't end badly, I'm okay
Speaker 4: with the situation. Did you look at it differently? Were
Speaker 4: you like get the hell out of that. So I'm like,
Speaker 4: why are you in here? Man?
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, it's not just a regular
Speaker 2: season game. We're talking about the SEC championship and this
Speaker 2: guy has to hang out into the dugout, Like, go
Speaker 2: back out there and sit with Clark Lee?
Speaker 1: What are you doing in this a little?
Speaker 3: Do you know who?
Speaker 1: I am?
Speaker 3: Like, I need to go see my guys.
Speaker 1: They were interviewing they were interviewing him on TV.
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is just weird, Like why are we
Speaker 2: making this about James Franklin and Pence Date in an
Speaker 2: SEC Baseball championship game?
Speaker 4: We were talking about pitching there for a second. I
Speaker 4: want to take you back. Let's go back to Lindsay
Speaker 4: Wilson or Bellerman. Is Shannon the dude coming out of
Speaker 4: the bullpen?
Speaker 3: Like? Is he a setup guy? Is he a closer?
Speaker 2: It was a mop up guy? What are you talking
Speaker 2: about when the game was fifteen to one?
Speaker 4: Well, no, that's like position players coming in to pitch.
Speaker 4: Is Shannon the dude coming in?
Speaker 1: Like, I'm just.
Speaker 2: I've just told you like I you know, like it
Speaker 2: at Lindsey Wilson, I think I started a few games,
Speaker 2: you know, like but we had a JV team. I
Speaker 2: think at that point we had a JV team. So
Speaker 2: I started some JV games at Lindsay Wilson and then
Speaker 2: my it was my sophomore year. I think I completely
Speaker 2: screwed up my shoulder and that was when I had like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that that sophomore year, I think I came in, you know,
Speaker 2: like sixth seventh inning type of.
Speaker 1: Reliever, like a middle reliever, a little setup guy, middle reliever. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then after that it was it was mop
Speaker 2: up because I had nothing left in my arm. I
Speaker 2: was a mop up of a player at that point.
Speaker 2: I was out there throwing you know, sixty miles. No,
Speaker 2: I wasn't throwing that slow, but it was it was bad,
Speaker 2: you know, So I was I was basically playing injured.
Speaker 2: Junior year, I didn't play at all. I was out
Speaker 2: injured the entire season. Senior year that had a.
Speaker 1: Zero e r A.
Speaker 4: But just had spot ending injuries kind of caught up
Speaker 4: with you near the end of it. But you know,
Speaker 4: those first couple of years, maybe sixth inning, seventh s guy. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I just like to think of you as Edwin Diaz
Speaker 4: coming out of the Bowl.
Speaker 2: Oh no, God, no, I didn't have that kind of
Speaker 2: that kind of arm. I was the type of pitcher
Speaker 2: where I had to like spot you know, like inside corner,
Speaker 2: outside corner, breaking ball, you know, like throw the junk stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and are you calling your own pitches or was
Speaker 4: that the coach is doing that back?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it was. It was a little of both.
Speaker 2: Like coach would give, you know, the signal to the
Speaker 2: the catcher. Catcher gives it to me and then I
Speaker 2: could shake it off if I wanted to.
Speaker 4: So if I wasn't filling that pitch, shake it off.
Speaker 4: I always thought that was a little bizarre. I read
Speaker 4: an MLB peacher set. MLB pitcher said that he never
Speaker 4: shook off a pitch. He just realized the pitch that
Speaker 4: was given by the coach was the best in the situation.
Speaker 2: Sometimes, you know, but you know how you're feeling like
Speaker 2: you know better than the coach. If that breaking ball
Speaker 2: is not breaking today and you're calling it and it's
Speaker 2: a three to two count with bases loaded, I need
Speaker 2: to throw something over the plate, right So I think
Speaker 2: now though they all have like these in ear pieces
Speaker 2: right where they can just be I guess told through
Speaker 2: the in air piece what pitched to call.
Speaker 4: Well, the catcher has that right, the catcher has the
Speaker 4: in air piece, and then he's able to give the
Speaker 4: single to the picture. I don't know if the pitcher
Speaker 4: has the in air piece yet. I think they do,
Speaker 4: because isn't there still like Stein stealing, Like if you're
Speaker 4: on second, you could still steal signs from the catcher
Speaker 4: if you're leading off.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought, I thought, like the pitcher
Speaker 1: actually has it in air.
Speaker 4: The game does not resemble that we played in our childhood, Shandon,
Speaker 4: So I think it's fair for us to not know
Speaker 4: what's going on to.
Speaker 3: A degree at least.
Speaker 2: Hey nine twenty two eighty seven will take your calls.
Speaker 2: Coming up next, and it is decision day for o
Speaker 2: tega Oway. Is he gonna go or is he gonna
Speaker 2: come back to Kentucky. I think he's coming back to Kentucky.
Speaker 3: But today?
Speaker 1: Is it today? Or tomorroworrow? Tomorrow? Tomorrow night at midnight,
Speaker 1: I think it is either.
Speaker 3: Today or Tomorrow's got to decide.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: If it's not today, it's coming soon, all right, Decision Day,
Speaker 2: D Day is coming up. We'll be right back on
Speaker 2: the KSR pre show. It is the KSR pre show eight, five, nine,
Speaker 2: two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. First of all, Billy, Yes,
Speaker 2: you're right, is tomorrow. I don't know what day it is.
Speaker 2: It's it's Tuesday, right, Yeah, the three day weekend is
Speaker 2: is throwing me off. I don't know what day it
Speaker 2: is anymore. So, yeah, that's tomorrow night for otega Oway.
Speaker 2: He's going to decide he's projected from what I've seen,
Speaker 2: Billy anywhere between like fiftieth and the fifty fifth pick,
Speaker 2: depending on which you know, which website you go to
Speaker 2: to look at for your draft information, your mock draft.
Speaker 2: So I mean, I think all signs point that he's
Speaker 2: coming back, but you know, the longer he waits, I
Speaker 2: think that builds up some anxiety for fans thinking that
Speaker 2: maybe he will stay in the draft.
Speaker 3: Uh. Yeah, I would doubt it though.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you were a late second round pick, Shannon,
Speaker 4: You're getting on the bus and going to a G
Speaker 4: League game, right, I mean, not a lot of guys
Speaker 4: drafted in that slot, you know, have these big guaranteed contracts,
Speaker 4: which I think otega Oway or any player would be
Speaker 4: looking for, especially when you can go back to college
Speaker 4: and make so much money with nil, so I would
Speaker 4: be shocked if he were to stay and get drafted
Speaker 4: late in the second round like that. I think he's
Speaker 4: got a pretty big role carved out for him back
Speaker 4: at Kentucky and could possibly be a preseason SEC first
Speaker 4: team player if he stays in college. So a lot
Speaker 4: of excitement still, and.
Speaker 2: I think he's a guy that can, without a doubt,
Speaker 2: improve his draft stock. Right, there's no doubt that this
Speaker 2: is a player that could, you know, maybe work his
Speaker 2: way up to a an early second round pick instead
Speaker 2: of on the fiftieth and fifty fifth range. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's no doubt that next year he can come back.
Speaker 2: If he can prove that he can knock down a
Speaker 2: three on a consistent basis, developed that three point shot,
Speaker 2: there's no doubt that he is going.
Speaker 1: To be picked up by somebody.
Speaker 2: And I think that he could even play himself into
Speaker 2: a late first round pick. So the pros and cons
Speaker 2: when you look at Okay, if I'm oh, wait, I
Speaker 2: can go to the NBA, like you said, be in
Speaker 2: the G League to start out, go into all these
Speaker 2: random cities and playing ball, or I could come back
Speaker 2: at Kentucky where life is pretty good. Let's be honest
Speaker 2: for away, life's pretty good being a Kentucky basketball player
Speaker 2: making good money here, more than you're going to make
Speaker 2: probably in the G League to begin with. You come back,
Speaker 2: you prove your stock, go to the draft next year.
Speaker 2: Who knows, maybe you're a first rounter and all of
Speaker 2: a sudden you're making it even more money in a
Speaker 2: much better position.
Speaker 1: And who knows, I don't know.
Speaker 2: You get a guaranteed contract, but at least you're in
Speaker 2: a much better position next year than you would be
Speaker 2: if you went ahead and jumped the gun and went
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just glad we don't do it like baseball,
Speaker 4: where high schoolers are drafted and then they decide if
Speaker 4: they want to go or not. What a bizarre system
Speaker 4: Where a guy like Tyler Bell, the shortstop for Kentucky,
Speaker 4: was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays. They're expecting him
Speaker 4: to come into the farm system and he says, hey,
Speaker 4: I just want to go play college, and then they
Speaker 4: don't have the draft rights to that kid anymore. Shannon,
Speaker 4: tell me how.
Speaker 3: That makes sense.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of bizarre, I've been watching on a loop
Speaker 2: since the last commercial break you sent me. This video
Speaker 2: of the is the French president getting like pie faced
Speaker 2: by his wife.
Speaker 1: Is that his wife in this video?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: So it's his wife, uh, Mark Marcone Mackren, Shannon, I
Speaker 4: don't know how to pronounce it, and I apologize, But
Speaker 4: he was coming off of a plane and like as
Speaker 4: the door's open, you briefly see his wife shove him.
Speaker 3: In the face.
Speaker 4: Like like hard, like it's it's I don't know if
Speaker 4: you call it a slap or a shove, but it's jarring,
Speaker 4: and he immediately kind of makes eye contact with the camera,
Speaker 4: realizes people are watching him and kind of has to
Speaker 4: give like an awkward wave.
Speaker 3: But Shannon, what is happening in that?
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I can't figure it out.
Speaker 2: I'm just sitting here watching this video on it is
Speaker 2: it's like the door opens to the plane, you see
Speaker 2: the president gonna get pushed in the face by an
Speaker 2: arm and then he looks around and gives a a
Speaker 2: very awkward wave and smile like Hey everybody, Like who
Speaker 2: knows what's going on behind the scenes? You got this video?
Speaker 2: That's it's very bizarre. Tweeter, have you tweeted that out?
Speaker 5: No? I can.
Speaker 4: I can retweet it though. At Billy Sports if you'd
Speaker 4: like to see it. People are surprised after this went viral.
Speaker 4: They're all looking into the background of the French president
Speaker 4: and they were surprised to find out that he met
Speaker 4: his wife when he was a teenager and she was
Speaker 4: thirty nine.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. So as much as we.
Speaker 4: Talked about Bill Belichick, I guess it was getting exposed
Speaker 4: a little bit that the French president's a little younger
Speaker 4: than his wife.
Speaker 3: But the slap, I don't know what would justify that slap.
Speaker 1: It's not really a slap.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like grabbing somebody underneath the chin and
Speaker 2: pushing them. So I don't know that that makes it
Speaker 2: any better, but it's not I don't I wouldn't call
Speaker 2: it a slap, but really a bizarre video. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: can see that on Billy's Twitter account. HEYI that must
Speaker 2: be in peanuts on the line.
Speaker 1: What's up, peanut sor right, what's up?
Speaker 5: I got a little I got a story about Vanderbilt
Speaker 5: all right, My childhood dude I grew up with across
Speaker 5: the street from me. Him and one of my other
Speaker 5: childhood best friend's sister got married and they moved to
Speaker 5: Tennessee and they had a son, and I've been following
Speaker 5: his baseball career pretty much his whole life. And he
Speaker 5: committed to Kentucky last year and then I haven't seen
Speaker 5: this guy for over thirty years either or so, but
Speaker 5: he committed to Kentucky and then he de committed and
Speaker 5: went to Vanderbilt because he's from Tennessee. That was his
Speaker 5: life while on dreen. So I went down to the
Speaker 5: Gainesville to the Florida and Vanderbilt game go meet him
Speaker 5: and watch him. And I hadn't seen the counts and years,
Speaker 5: and it was conveyed it was a real cool day.
Speaker 5: And he's a really good kid. And he said it
Speaker 5: was the hardest thing he ever had to do was
Speaker 5: decommit from me because he loved me a whole lot. So, yeah,
Speaker 5: but here's the thing, Yep, it was the key. It
Speaker 5: is that picture that hit was hit to hit our
Speaker 5: guy in the head.
Speaker 1: He was the he was the he was the picture.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a picture that beating our guy.
Speaker 1: I gotcha, Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: Well but he's really a good kid. I know. I
Speaker 5: didn't see the game. I had to listen to it,
Speaker 5: so I really don't know how what went down. Was
Speaker 5: there a stare down or something like that.
Speaker 1: But no, I think it just happened. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it just happened next to the cop.
Speaker 2: You know, we appreciate it, but yeah, you know, playing
Speaker 2: for Minji own, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: Look, minjiones a great dude.
Speaker 2: But I'm sure he's speaking of people, you know, behind
Speaker 2: the scenes that are a little fiery.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Minjijones got a little fire in them too.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's uh, you know, we've seen it before
Speaker 2: when he.
Speaker 3: Got half a little fire in his belly, would say so.
Speaker 5: Uh.

Speaker 2: It is Shan the Dude and Billy Rutledge here on
Speaker 2: the ks OUR pre Show. All right, welcome back, it
Speaker 2: is the KSR AP Pre Show.
Speaker 3: Who sings this?
Speaker 2: It's John Anderson, my favorite country artist of all time.
Speaker 1: Love Johnny.
Speaker 2: But we just went by Renfro Valley where they have
Speaker 2: all the old school country bands and guys that you
Speaker 2: have no idea about. Billy, but I think John Anderson's
Speaker 2: coming to Renfro Valley. As I was passing that exit,
Speaker 2: I'm going, you know what, I may be coming back
Speaker 2: here later this year to see some John Anderson good stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not a country guy. I do like his
Speaker 4: twang though. Oh yeah, somebody slap me eight.
Speaker 2: Five nine twenty two eighty seven. We'll go back to
Speaker 2: the phones in just a minute. One person on Twitter
Speaker 2: at Shannon the Dude says, when was the last time
Speaker 2: that Billy r sports watched a Major League Baseball game?
Speaker 2: The catcher and pitcher it both had PitchCom since it
Speaker 2: was implemented at least once. In most games, the game
Speaker 2: is stopped when PitchCom isn't working for the pitcher, So yeah,
Speaker 2: they don't have to, you know, do the signal between
Speaker 2: the legs if you're the catcher, because they all have
Speaker 2: those in ear pieces.
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, that's fair. I don't watch a ton of baseball.
Speaker 4: Did you get a robot ums anyway? And the miners too,
Speaker 4: that's right, yeah, And I don't know.
Speaker 2: I have mixed feelings about that, because you want to
Speaker 2: get the call right, but you're taking all the human
Speaker 2: element out of umpiring at that point, and you know,
Speaker 2: it is frustrating when your team gets a strike that
Speaker 2: you know it's highlighted too.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing about it.
Speaker 2: When you were watching baseball before they put that little
Speaker 2: box up there on the screen, you know you could
Speaker 2: sometimes tell IFILP was a striker or not. Now you
Speaker 2: definitely can because they've got that box, that little white
Speaker 2: box that's over the strike zone like you're playing a
Speaker 2: video game, and you can clearly see whether it's a
Speaker 2: ball or a strike.
Speaker 1: And some of those.
Speaker 2: Calls are you know, let's be real, if you're behind
Speaker 2: home plate, even if you're a professional major league umpire,
Speaker 2: you're gonna miss one every now and then. But now
Speaker 2: they got these that you're talking about. In the minor leagues,
Speaker 2: the umpires also have an ineer system that says ball
Speaker 2: or strike that calls it for them. So at that point,
Speaker 2: do we even need anybody behind the plate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess to sign.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just to figure head at that point. I've
Speaker 4: I've kind of done a reversal on this. I've been
Speaker 4: somebody that wants the right call made. But like you said,
Speaker 4: it's sacrificing the human element, and that is baseball.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: Framing a pitch is an art that I do not
Speaker 4: want to be lost because we're watching a square on
Speaker 4: a television screen tell us exactly where the strike zone is. Unfortunately,
Speaker 4: so hopefully, hopefully that that doesn't go too.
Speaker 2: Did you see my guy Cunya just came back from
Speaker 2: the tour acl.
Speaker 1: First pitch, very first.
Speaker 2: Pitch on Friday night that he saw home run unbelievable
Speaker 2: next to bat single. So then I think the next
Speaker 2: game after that, on Saturday, I think.
Speaker 4: He also homered and then he threw somebody out from
Speaker 4: right field.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, So talk about a guy that comes
Speaker 2: back and just wastes no time to make an immediate impact.
Speaker 1: Our guy, Ronald Chuon your junior. Good to have him back.
Speaker 4: I don't watch baseball, but I saw those highlights over
Speaker 4: the last couple of days. Did you see any of
Speaker 4: the Indy five hundred, Shannon, No, I did not watch that.
Speaker 1: That was not on my radar.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: It was bizarre, Shannon. There was a wreck before the
Speaker 4: race even started. You know how they like they kind
Speaker 4: of just do like a slow like lap or two
Speaker 4: before the race even starts. Somebody wrecked during the slow
Speaker 4: rap before the slow lap, before the race even saw.
Speaker 1: That would be me.
Speaker 4: There was a wreck on the first lap right after
Speaker 4: the person got cleaned up after wrecking. Before the race started.
Speaker 4: There was a wreck on the first lap, Shannon. There
Speaker 4: were people catching on fire in the pit lane. There
Speaker 4: was a car that ran into the pit crew in
Speaker 4: the pit lane at one point, and then the race
Speaker 4: ended in a crash in caution.
Speaker 3: So it was just a bizarre day for the Indie
Speaker 3: five hundreds.
Speaker 2: Normally, I one of these guys that just can't watch
Speaker 2: racing because we talk about certain sports being boring, and
Speaker 2: I tend to think that racing is just boring. It's
Speaker 2: a big left hand turn for five hours, and I
Speaker 2: can't watch it. I mean, yeah, it sounds like I
Speaker 2: missed I missed out on that.
Speaker 3: Just just go catch the highlights.
Speaker 4: I mean seeing the the these cars plowing too, the
Speaker 4: pit crew guys as they go in for more gas
Speaker 4: and new tires, or somebody catching on fire.
Speaker 3: It was bizarre.
Speaker 4: I hate that the best part of racing events is
Speaker 4: the crashes. I'm not watching for the crash as Shannon,
Speaker 4: But that's what makes the highlight reels afterwards, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, for sure? At Shannon the dude.
Speaker 2: One person writes in and says, if you're the French president,
Speaker 2: how do you come back from being publicly slapped by
Speaker 2: your wife?
Speaker 1: That's a great quease.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like, how do you explain that?
Speaker 1: Because you know you're gonna be asked that question? Right?
Speaker 2: Like let's say you know it's President Trump and he's
Speaker 2: coming off a plane and Malannia reaches out and pushes
Speaker 2: him in the face.
Speaker 1: That's caught on camera. It makes you look weak.
Speaker 2: I would think, first of all, if you're the leader
Speaker 2: of a country, I don't know how you do damage
Speaker 2: control for that.
Speaker 4: Now, it could be different if it happened to me
Speaker 4: or you. I mean it would take a while. We
Speaker 4: may never live it down, but like we're entertainers, we
Speaker 4: could It could be a part.
Speaker 3: Of the radio show. But you were the president of
Speaker 3: a country.
Speaker 4: I can't help but think the negative press by that,
Speaker 4: and even the thoughts of other countries would would come
Speaker 4: into that.
Speaker 3: Here we go talking about things we don't know. But
Speaker 3: but Jim, what do you do? Do you divorce your
Speaker 3: right then and there or what?
Speaker 4: I don't know because it don't even get me started
Speaker 4: if the roles were reversed.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh no, no, we can't. You can't even have
Speaker 2: that conversation.
Speaker 3: But no, no, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Man, that's a great question.
Speaker 4: Like it's got to be like a she comes out
Speaker 4: and says, oh, we do this little playful thing where
Speaker 4: he told me a joke and you.
Speaker 3: Completely lie about it.
Speaker 4: You've got nobody's believing that at all.
Speaker 1: Nobody is. Did you see this?
Speaker 2: So speaking of the uh we're talking and betting earlier
Speaker 2: with DraftKings, the NCAA is considering lifting a ban Billy
Speaker 2: that would prohibit college athletes and coaches from betting on
Speaker 2: pro sports.
Speaker 1: Do you think that if.
Speaker 2: You're a college athlete, obviously you can't bet on college athletics,
Speaker 2: But should you be allowed, in your opinion to bet
Speaker 2: on pro sports?
Speaker 3: Sure? Why not.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're not impacting the game, right, I completely
Speaker 4: understand about integrity when it comes to you betting on
Speaker 4: the sport that you play, But why not let somebody
Speaker 4: who is a college baseball player bet on Major League soccer? Shannon,
Speaker 4: I don't see the connection where that would be bad.
Speaker 4: I mean, can you play Devil's Advocate for a second, Like,
Speaker 4: why would that shouldn't be allowed? A college baseball player
Speaker 4: betting on Major League baseball games? Do you think that's
Speaker 4: looked at in a negative light?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean if you're going down that though, I
Speaker 2: mean you could also say I'm a player for Kentucky
Speaker 2: and why could not bet on ucla USC.
Speaker 1: I'm not in the game, I'm not impacting the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think the.
Speaker 3: Sport you play that's a little closer to home.
Speaker 2: But why does that matter. I'm not involved in the game.
Speaker 2: I'm not in the game itself, but.
Speaker 3: It's in the sport, it's in the same So you think.
Speaker 2: There's a difference between betting on pro sports and the instance.
Speaker 2: Now that's if I'm playing Devil's Advocate. I think that's
Speaker 2: where you would have the argument. Yeah, okay, so then
Speaker 2: what's just Okay, if I'm a college athlete, I can
Speaker 2: bet on, you know, the Pacers Knicks tonight, right, then
Speaker 2: why shouldn't I be able to bet on a college
Speaker 2: basketball game that I have nothing to do with.
Speaker 1: I'm not involved in the game.
Speaker 4: Well, I think essentially, like if you're a Kentucky player,
Speaker 4: like if you were Travis Perry and you wanted to
Speaker 4: bet on another SEC basketball game, that would feel weird.
Speaker 4: I feel like Travis Perry runs in circles where he
Speaker 4: could somehow impact the game. He knows a coach he
Speaker 4: could reach out to.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Shannon, This is a good argument.
Speaker 4: By you, because how do you not having any impact
Speaker 4: in this college game any different from you not having
Speaker 4: an impact in this professional game?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: Either way, you're not involved in it.
Speaker 2: But yet there's talk of them allowing college athletes to
Speaker 2: bet on pro sports.
Speaker 4: So would you rather have it so that where collegiate
Speaker 4: athletes can't bet at all? Or would you be okay
Speaker 4: with them betting on pro sports or college sports that
Speaker 4: they don't participate in. I would almost rather have them
Speaker 4: not bet at all if they're going to start betting
Speaker 4: on the games in which they partake in, the same conference.
Speaker 2: I got to think it would just be hard to govern,
Speaker 2: you know, like, Okay, now, once you're allowing college athletes
Speaker 2: to bet on pro sports, who's checking their DraftKings profile
Speaker 2: to make sure they're also not betting on college games?
Speaker 2: So you know, I don't know, it's an interesting question.
Speaker 2: I think that you know, if you're not betting on
Speaker 2: your team and you're not involved in the game itself,
Speaker 2: then you should be allowed to bet on it.
Speaker 3: I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.
Speaker 2: Right, But then again, it goes back to who's checking
Speaker 2: to make sure that you're not betting on your own team?
Speaker 1: So I think that's why there's these guardrails.
Speaker 2: Right now, if we just shut it down completely, you
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about checking each player individually to
Speaker 2: see they're betting on their team.
Speaker 1: You just aren't allowed to bet, period, point blank. That's it.
Speaker 4: And look, if you open these floodgates at all, there
Speaker 4: are going to be people that abuse it.
Speaker 3: There are going to be people that you know, do
Speaker 3: not do the right things.
Speaker 1: Hell was it?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 3: Was it Alabama's baseball coach calling.
Speaker 4: The guy at the casinos saying his starter wasn't gonna play,
Speaker 4: so you need to lay the money.
Speaker 3: On the other team. Things like that, Like it's I mean.
Speaker 4: If what do you you give them a little, they'll
Speaker 4: take a lot, and so you take them out.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: So I think that if you were to open this
Speaker 4: up to where college athletes can bet on professional sports,
Speaker 4: I'm sure you'd see many abuses of it.
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers has hinted Billy that he may end up
Speaker 2: being the quarterback for the Steelers next season. Coming out
Speaker 2: here this guy yeah, and so he was doing a
Speaker 2: like a Q and A with fans, and one fan asked, Hey, Aaron,
Speaker 2: would you consider signing with the New Orleans Saints and
Speaker 2: bringing us back? And he's like, no, absolutely not. He's
Speaker 2: so smug, you know, He's like, no, not going to happen.
Speaker 2: You're like, look, I'm old, I don't want to live
Speaker 2: in Louisiana.
Speaker 1: No offense.
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, talk about a guy that, Like,
Speaker 2: if you're a Saints fan, you didn't hate the guy already.
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm too old to be living. I don't
Speaker 1: want to live in Louisiana. But he did.
Speaker 2: He was asked if he would potentially sign with the
Speaker 2: Bears and he said something to the effect of, well,
Speaker 2: I believe there's a team that's going to be playing
Speaker 2: in Chicago this season, and you look at the Steelers schedule,
Speaker 2: they are playing in Chicago. So a lot of fans
Speaker 2: have sort of taken that as Okay, now he's hinting
Speaker 2: it that he will be the Steelers quarterback. Of course
Speaker 2: we've already heard, you know, rumors of that being true already.
Speaker 2: But Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh, it didn't quite work out
Speaker 2: as a jet.
Speaker 1: Any chance that it works out in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: Sure, I mean, he's just so such a talented player
Speaker 4: that he could make the people around him better. But
Speaker 4: smug is a good word for him, shann And because
Speaker 4: the Steelers are just waiting, right, I mean, they're just
Speaker 4: gonna They're trying to get on along with their season.
Speaker 3: They're trying to.
Speaker 4: Get ready for the next season, and they have to
Speaker 4: kind of sit with their hands tied and wait for
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers to make a decision.
Speaker 3: And the way Aaron talks has just been so disappointing.
Speaker 4: You know, Cal lost a lot of the fan base
Speaker 4: when he started talking down to the fans and his
Speaker 4: tone of voice, and I feel like Aaron Rodgers has
Speaker 4: done a lot of that, Shannon, whether it being he
Speaker 4: thinks that he knows better than you or saying crap
Speaker 4: like no.
Speaker 3: There's no way I'd play in New Orleans.
Speaker 4: I think it's funny in the moment, but also at
Speaker 4: times can turn people off in a lot of ways.
Speaker 4: And unfortunately, I have Aaron Rodgers fatigue. I don't know
Speaker 4: what it was. It may have been two years.
Speaker 3: Of us talking about ayahuasca and him.
Speaker 4: And the Jets and the McAfee show and the McAfee show,
Speaker 4: drama and things like that, and all him his drama
Speaker 4: getting out of the Packers. But you know, if he
Speaker 4: goes to Pittsburgh, I'm sure it will be a great
Speaker 4: match because Tomlin can do it with or without him.
Speaker 2: I didn't particularly love him as the Packers quarterback. I
Speaker 2: loved him because he was a great player, but I
Speaker 2: wasn't like, oh, yeah, there's Aaron Rodgers guy. He's such
Speaker 2: a great dude, you know, and neither you know who
Speaker 2: do we know? We don't know about Brett Farve either.
Speaker 2: If we go back and watch what I was talking
Speaker 2: about on Friday, you go and watch that Netflix show,
Speaker 2: You're like Yeah, I think I wasn't a great guy either,
Speaker 2: But you know, it just goes to show you you
Speaker 2: can be a smug a hole if you want to,
Speaker 2: in Aaron Rodgers case, but if you're a good quarterback,
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Right, people are going to overlook that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And and kind of Green Bay Packer quarterbacks are
Speaker 4: a little bit like you know, Kentucky basketball coaches. They
Speaker 4: just don't happen very often, right, I mean, besides Bart
Speaker 4: Starr and Brett Farv and Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love
Speaker 4: that's about it. And the Pittsburgh Steelers, you're kind of
Speaker 4: the same way when it comes to their head coaches.
Speaker 3: So continuity is a good thing. But Shannon, wasn't it weird?
Speaker 4: Like it was after sixteen years Farv left and he
Speaker 4: went to the Jets. Yep, after sixteen years Rogers left,
Speaker 4: he goes to the Jets, almost like he was fulfilling
Speaker 4: a prophecy there for a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think Aaron Rodgers will be going to.
Speaker 4: The vik He has to go to the Vikings, right
Speaker 4: and then win a playoff game?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, so A five nine twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 2: The Pickers, though, you talk about a team that has
Speaker 2: had great continuity of quarterbacks going all the way back
Speaker 2: to ninety two far of Rogers and Love. I don't
Speaker 2: know if there's any Is there another NFL team that's
Speaker 2: had that string of quarterbacks? I mean the Patriots. I
Speaker 2: guess right, if you go back, that's.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I mean, besides getting like a Peyton Manning that can
Speaker 4: take eighteen or fifteen years off of off of a
Speaker 4: shelf life, then no, it's it's tough to find continuity
Speaker 4: at that position.
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break. Come right back for our
Speaker 2: final segment. It is the KSRP pre Show. We'll be
Speaker 2: right back. That's good stuff right there, Billy. I don't
Speaker 2: care who you are more John Anderson. Oh, nobody's got
Speaker 2: a voice like John Anderson.
Speaker 5: Behind this.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you I know this song, don't you. I've
Speaker 3: heard of a seminole win swinging well.
Speaker 4: Working with you guys for this many years, I've definitely
Speaker 4: heard it in the past.
Speaker 2: Poke writes it on Twitter and says, Hey, Shannon, I'm
Speaker 2: a huge John Anderson fan as well. Do you know
Speaker 2: how he got to start? A producer heard his singing
Speaker 2: on the roof of the operay while he was working
Speaker 2: on it to put a new roof on. Imagine that
Speaker 2: you're a roofer. I don't know if that's true or not.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go ahead and assume that it is.
Speaker 2: Why would poke a lot to me on Twitter about
Speaker 2: it in a direct message? But imagine, Billy, you're a roofer.
Speaker 2: You're hammering nails, knocking, you know, hammering shingles onto a roof.
Speaker 2: You're singing out loud, and a producer goes, that sounds
Speaker 2: pretty good. Why don't you come out in here and
Speaker 2: get on the stage instead of on the roof.
Speaker 4: That is an unbelievable story. Do you think my guy's
Speaker 4: just belting on top of the rooftop?
Speaker 2: Hey, she made Kentucky Joe does it like in public
Speaker 2: restrooms at the Meyer allegedly.
Speaker 3: A radio show he's on. So why not? John Anderson,
Speaker 3: I love that story. I'm gonna I'm gonna choose to
Speaker 3: believe that.
Speaker 2: All right. So Mark Pope has, you know, talked in
Speaker 2: interviews about a couple of rule changes that he would
Speaker 2: like to see made in college basketball.
Speaker 4: Billy one, I agree with one. I hate Okay.
Speaker 1: So you've heard him talking about wanting to expand.
Speaker 2: The college basketball regular season games too.
Speaker 1: I think he said forty right, I'm for that.
Speaker 2: You know, if you look at the schedule, there are
Speaker 2: certain weeks where Kentucky only plays once, and why not
Speaker 2: add another game or two in there where you can
Speaker 2: and expand it to forty I think, more college basketball.
Speaker 1: Who's going to hate that? I love that?
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: I think I liked this one, reasoning that the guys
Speaker 4: actually have a better GPA when they are in the season,
Speaker 4: so maybe you can get these guys better grades if
Speaker 4: you expand the season.
Speaker 3: So I am on the surface level for that as well.
Speaker 2: Now the one that I don't like that I've spoken
Speaker 2: out again. I think I talked about this just last week.
Speaker 2: He says that in college basketball, he would like to
Speaker 2: see the ball be advanced to half court after a
Speaker 2: time out. And we were just talking about the NBA
Speaker 2: and watching the playoffs and how much I hate that
Speaker 2: rule where you get to advance the ball after a
Speaker 2: time out. Mark Pope would like to see that in
Speaker 2: college basketball. Billy, I'm obviously not a fan of it.
Speaker 2: Would you be in favor of time out? You're on
Speaker 2: the opposite end of the court, but you get to
Speaker 2: advance the ball to half court because you burn a
Speaker 2: time out.
Speaker 4: Well, I think of like the Butler half court shot
Speaker 4: in the National Championship game that almost went in, or
Speaker 4: was it the Gonzaga guy Sugs hitting a half court
Speaker 4: shot in the Final four. So it does create some
Speaker 4: exciting moments, But for the most part, if you were
Speaker 4: to advance the ball up the court, would you get
Speaker 4: more chances at those buzzer beaters? Shannon Like, is that
Speaker 4: what the reasoning behind mark posts sought? Is this is
Speaker 4: that you could have more exciting plays like that.
Speaker 2: I mean you still, yeah, if you advance the ball,
Speaker 2: obviously you could still have buzzer beaters. But it's going
Speaker 2: from a guy who's shooting a you know, shot half
Speaker 2: from behind half court to a guy who's.
Speaker 1: Shooting a three point shot at the buzzer. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just don't like that role at all. I didn't
Speaker 2: like it in I don't like it in the NBA.
Speaker 2: And I understand that college basketball is slowly becoming more
Speaker 2: and more like the pro game. You know, it's only
Speaker 2: a matter of time before they go to quarters, which
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that too. You want to talk about
Speaker 2: a rule that should be changed and every other aspect
Speaker 2: of basketball, I mean probably even down to little league.
Speaker 2: We have four quarters, you know in college in women's
Speaker 2: college basketball, it's four quarters. NBA obviously four quarters. I
Speaker 2: don't understand why they haven't moved that to four quarters.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the quarters thing, the trying to speed up these
Speaker 4: games in the final two minutes, whether it be making
Speaker 4: coaches have challenges or just speeding up the review process.
Speaker 4: I think those problems need to be handled much more
Speaker 4: than we do advancing the ball. But I can definitely
Speaker 4: get behind more games, Shannon, because that's that's more revenue
Speaker 4: for Kentucky if they're gonna add a couple of home games.
Speaker 2: So you didn't really take a stance. Are you pro
Speaker 2: or con moving the ball for.
Speaker 1: A time out?
Speaker 4: I guess I'm gonna go pro me. Okay, Yeah, I'm
