Speaker 4: machine is seven seven two seven four five two five four.

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 4: I do have one piece of information. I've gotten multiple

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 4: texts from people I assume Drew that are listening who

27
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 4: say that the South administer is a UK fan. Okay, good, good, good.

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 4: There are people, there are people not following the rule

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 4: and listening, and I don't want to call him a

30
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 4: U of L fan if he's not. No, it's a

31
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 4: horrible accusation. That's like the worst thing you can do that.

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 4: You cannot call somebody a UFL fan. It's not that

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 4: that's a UK fan. They're struggling, by the way U

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 4: of L.

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 5: It just fell out of the top twenty five, the.

36
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: Top twenty five first time all year there.

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 4: M Kelsey only has one win in the two years

38
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 4: he's been there, over a team that was in the

39
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 4: top thirty in the net. Now, unfortunately that was US,

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 4: So you can't talk too much trash about it. But

41
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 4: they can't beat anybody good. They play Syracuse at home tonight,

42
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 4: they'll crush them. Then they go to Miami Saturday, might

43
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 4: lose another one. So, uh, you know, a lot of

44
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 4: UFL fans work in this building very upset. Drew like

45
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: they they in some ways seem almost more upset than

46
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 4: Kentucky fans were at Pope because I don't think they

47
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 4: have that connection with Kelsey where like they want him

48
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 4: to succeed because he's one of them, like we do

49
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 4: with Pope. That in Pope at least has several you know,

50
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 4: top ap wins, where Kelsey that's one of the problems

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 4: is he's not winning those games. Also a less last

52
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 4: press conference, he didn't have his glasses on. I didn't

53
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 4: really know who I was looking at. He looked all sad.

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: It's just fallen so far from when he was popping

55
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: the cafeteria getting all the fans when he first got

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: there for a long time and now I don't know.

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: So we'll see. The tournament can change a lot of stuff.

58
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 4: Tyron Stokes has is according to is it Fraan for Shill?

59
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 4: Is that who said that? Who was it m about

60
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: taking another trip about Tyron Stokes coming to Kentucky. I

61
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: think it came from his coach to someone of ESPN. Yeah,

62
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 4: his coach told uh Fran for Scilla that Tyron Stokes

63
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: has not only not made his decision, He's going to

64
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: visit Kentucky one more time. What do we make of

65
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 4: this news?

66
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: I mean encouraging, because it sounded like before he had

67
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: kind of eliminated Kentucky at least the door still cracked

68
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: a little bit, that he wants to come back for

69
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: another visit and entertain the thought of maybe committee.

70
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 4: At one point he told Paul being Cardi, Stokes is

71
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: planning another visit to UK after the season. Okay, so

72
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 4: clearly we want him, right, clearly. You know Pope sees

73
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 4: the value in high school recruiting, which I like. There

74
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 4: are people who tried to make the argument when we

75
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 4: don't get these guys, Oh, that's kind of because that's

76
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: not what Pope does. Pope wants this guy. At this point.

77
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: You still want this kid, right.

78
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: He's an number one player in the country. Absolutely. I don't,

79
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: like I said earlier, if you're not, I don't care

80
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: if you're a third choice, fourth choice, fifth choice. If

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: he picks you, you want him.

82
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 4: Are you worried at all about this whole question of attitude?

83
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: I mean that's been something we've heard for years with

84
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: this kid, and then Kansas had to kind of deal

85
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 4: with whatever they've been dealing with Darren Peterson. So there's

86
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: some people saying, well, they don't want to they don't

87
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: want to deal with that. Again, Drew, I think he's

88
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 4: the teen. When you get the number one player in

89
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: the country, I think you take the risk. It doesn't work,

90
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: it doesn't work, but I think you have to take

91
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: the risk. Right. Yeah, there's some stories about him with

92
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 4: some locker room stuff. You know, you don't love that,

93
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: But Kentucky's kind of in desperation mode. I mean I

94
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: would take him regardless of ee if you had a class,

95
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 4: But right now, you got to get bodies for next year,

96
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: and if the number one recruit in America wants to

97
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: be a part of that, you absolutely have to take him. Also,

98
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: it seems Kansas pretty much had this locked up. It

99
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 4: just keeps trickling and trickling and trickling. So now I

100
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: could tell you he gets a visit. If Kansas doesn't

101
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 4: close soon, maybe maybe you're back in the mix more

102
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: than we thought we had it locked. This may just

103
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 4: be a guy, you know. That's when they're in a relationship.

104
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 4: At the end. Shannon and They're like, I just can't commit. Yeah, yeah,

105
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 4: you wouldn't know anything about it.

106
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: Oh of course No, No, no, you wouldn't either.

107
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: No, So yeah, I mean that might be. That might

108
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 4: be what it is. Do you agree with me, Shannon,

109
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: and you take this kid no matter what?

110
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 3: You know he's the top rated guy, So I think

111
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: you take them no matter what. Unfortunately, it could work

112
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 3: out to where you have a situation with Peterson at

113
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: Kansas and you've got a guy that has an attitude

114
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: problem and it's hard to manage that.

115
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 4: But that we think we would be better. I guess

116
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: my question Ryan is do you think we'd be better

117
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 4: without him? Because if you don't, then you'd give it

118
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 4: a shot unless you can convince me there's somebody out

119
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 4: there we can get that would be better than getting him.

120
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 4: I'm taking him, and yeah, it might not work out,

121
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 4: but you know what, there are other guys people get

122
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 4: that don't work out.

123
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: You know, Mark, Mark Pope needs this as nothing else

124
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: for perception purposes, that I can go out and recruit

125
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: the time and get them to come to Kentucky. He

126
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: needs that more than anything.

127
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 4: In earlier this year, we weren't exactly leading the country

128
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 4: in positive attitudes on the team either. So I mean

129
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 4: proud that you're started. I mean if Okay might have

130
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 4: another locker room situation coming in and maybe to play chess,

131
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 4: they can get along. You know, it feels like that's

132
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: that's a big part is maybe they play chess and

133
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 4: everybody will everybody will be happy. Now, Kentucky, the SEC

134
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: Women's Tournament starts tomorrowmorrow morning, So let me just go

00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: have the Women's Game on while we're doing the show,

157
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 4: and it is WSFC. Actually, just yesterday Gus sent an

158
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 4: updated affiliate list that I put on KSR every morning,

159
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: so if you get lost, you can go find that

160
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 4: too and find what's close to you WSFC, And so

161
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: if you're in Lexing tomorrow you can come watch the show.

162
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 4: We will also have the game and they'll both be

163
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: going on, and so that's an exciting morning. Let's go

164
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 4: to Chase. Go ahead, Chase.

165
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 6: Bard and gentlemen, Shannon, got quick thing?

166
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 5: Are you saying I'm not a gentleman?

167
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: A gentleman, ained shaneon. Go ahead.

168
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 6: I would never disparage the good name of Cannon to dude,

169
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 6: but the prospect of certain announcements on the horizon. I'm

170
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 6: wondering about our eighties departments approach to coaching and in

171
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 6: game of environments. Do you think that a new ad,

172
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 6: maybe by a sort of a little lower may have less

173
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 6: concern with more superiority, more concerned with winning and a

174
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 6: better home game advantage. And along those line, let's stopping

175
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 6: us from coaching that was in charge of the in

176
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 6: game environment at South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, any of these

177
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 6: places that are just electric. Why can't we get any

178
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 6: of those people?

179
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 4: Well, I I think I appreciate the call. If there

180
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 4: were to be a transition at the top of UK athletics,

181
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 4: I think, without question, the question is going to be

182
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 4: what's next and what is the philosophy. I'm of the

183
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 4: belo that college sports are so fundamentally different today than

184
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 4: they were even four years ago, that you have to

185
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 4: hire somebody who's eager to embrace that change. Whoever that is, Okay,

186
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 4: whoever that is. You know, it's sort of like saying

187
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: if you are I don't know, if you're a computer

188
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: person and you don't like AI, then you probably shouldn't

189
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 4: hire that person to run your AI department, right you

190
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 4: should hire someone who understands and probably embraces the technology

191
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 4: to run your AI department. Even if I don't so like,

192
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be who you should hire because I don't

193
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 4: like AI. If you're somebody that doesn't like what's happening

194
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: in college sports, then don't hire that person to be

195
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 4: in charge of college sports. So I think it's gonna

196
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 4: be very important for Kentucky whenever that job or to

197
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 4: come open, to hire someone who embraces the future and

198
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 4: who says, whatever the future is, we at Kentucky will

199
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 4: be at the front. That's what I want to hear

200
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 4: ryan from whoever ends up with that job whenever it

201
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 4: comes open.

202
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's it's ultimately a business. They're trying to

203
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: make money, and you can't be afraid to spend money

204
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: to make money. You know, everybody's anything competent for the

205
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: entertainment dollar. You want to make your product good enough

206
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: where they want to come and spend their money and

207
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: watch your Internet.

208
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: What your problem? You can't have any hesitation about the sport. Correct.

209
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 4: If you don't like college sports, that is totally fine.

210
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 4: But my view has been for years. If you don't

211
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 4: like college sports as it is that you're right, then

212
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 4: you need to not be in it. It's that simple

213
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: because just look around the country. Just look at college basketball.

214
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 4: Look at the coaches that are succeeding all right, Dusty May,

215
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 4: John Shire, Nate Oates, Todd Golden, Danny Hurley. You don't

216
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: hear Drew those coaches on TV going. I don't like

217
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: what's happening with college basketball. They just go win, right,

218
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 4: they just go win, And that's what I want in

219
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 4: the jobs at Kentucky. Will Stein did that. He came in.

220
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 4: He was like, look, whatever the rules are, we'll make

221
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: them work. That's what we need. Yeah, you just know that.

222
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: That's what's so excited about will Stein. He even said

223
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 4: exactly that as press conference, like, if you want to

224
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 4: complain about how this job is now, you're gonna get

225
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: left behind the rules and what's in front of us.

226
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 4: It is what it is, So jump in and embrace

227
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: it and love it, or you're not gonna be able

228
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 4: to succeed. It's why I mean he showed up with

229
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 4: two GMS. He's an example of a young guy that's

230
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: ready for what's next in the future, and hopefully the

231
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 4: rest of the athletic department kind of we see more

232
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 4: of that youthful and the exciting movement coming in. And

233
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 4: it's not criticism. If you don't want to do it,

234
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 4: just don't do it. Give it to somebody who wants

235
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 4: to Dan, go ahead, Dan.

236
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, hey man, can I talk football?

237
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 4: Yeah?

238
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 7: Look, standing from Rocky Mount. I got a tour through

239
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 7: the Joe Craft Athletic Center a couple of weeks ago

240
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 7: on a Saturday. Let me tell you, me and my buddies,

241
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 7: we had such a positive vibe, man. We were so

242
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 7: excited when we left there. We got to meet a

243
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 7: lot of the football players. Courtney Love is the one

244
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 7: who took us through there. He won the War for

245
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 7: award back in twenty seventeen something like that. But we

246
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 7: got to walk they were practicing. A quarter of the

247
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 7: team was practicing, you know, on the indoor facility. And

248
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 7: I'll tell you every time we met these players then

249
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 7: they were also cordial. I am so pumped up about

250
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 7: UK football this year.

251
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 8: I tell you everybody should be.

252
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 7: Will Stein has just changed the whole vibe.

253
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 9: Man.

254
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 8: It was just a fantastic tour.

255
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 4: Were good. I'm glad. I appreciate you letting me know.

256
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 4: And nice to hear from you. Yep, appreciate the call.

257
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 4: I we hope to have will Stein Ryan on the

258
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 4: show on Monday, just for people to.

259
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's kind of making the round talking to some

260
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: people getting ready for the spring football season to start.

261
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: You could tell his his energetic level is going to

262
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: be infectious on everybody else. They're excited to get out.

263
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 4: There, Shannon, his energetic level is going to be infectious.

264
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: It's true.

265
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 5: We know what Ryan means. We've been around so long.

266
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 3: Like you wouldn't want to read that from the transcript

267
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: for the people at the church.

268
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 4: Infectious. Yeah, not a word righteous, infectious that too. His

269
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 4: energetic levels were infectious.

270
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 5: Put that on a T shirt.

271
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 4: That's right, Jacob, Go ahead, Jacob.

272
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 10: Hey Man, just one of the talk two things. One

273
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 10: the the new ad whoever, whenever that time comes. I

274
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 10: think that respectfully, they need to kind of, like what

275
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 10: you were saying, embrace you know, modern you know, the

276
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 10: modern college sports. I think specifically we need to really

277
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 10: be mindful of somebody who really understands college basketball, as

278
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 10: you know, as the athletic director for the University of Kentucky,

279
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 10: I think that you know, basketball is definitely our flagship

280
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 10: program when it comes to sports, and they need to

281
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 10: approach basketball with modern eyes. And I think that that

282
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 10: means that it can't be a Mitch two point zero.

283
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 10: All right, We can't. We can't have just a repeat

284
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 10: of what we have had. I know that Mitch has

285
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 10: done a lot of good things, and I'll appreciate that,

286
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 10: but but we can't have him, you know.

287
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 4: Again, Well, that's gonna be I mean, that's gonna be

288
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 4: the conversation. And I think I'm not saying that. I

289
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 4: don't think the person who can be the next one

290
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: can't have a connection to him. But in my opinion,

291
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 4: they can't have his view that has pervaded the last

292
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 4: five years about what college sports is because it's not

293
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 4: that anymore. If Cats fans, if you haven't checked out

294
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 4: the Kentucky Sports Factory, now's the time that it's a

295
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 4: ninety two thousand square foot indoor sports factory in Madisonville.

296
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 4: We were just there Friday, amazing six basketball courts, twelve

297
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 4: volleyball courts, twenty two pickleball courts, sixty yard indoor turf field.

298
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 4: They got a great restaurant which had awesome food sponsorship opportunities.

299
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 4: You can go play a game there. You can rent

300
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 4: it out for an event. It's great. It's in Madisonville.

301
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 4: I think it's the best facility in the state. The

302
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 4: Kentucky Sports Factory or Kentucky Sportsfactory dot Com really was

303
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 4: an impressive place to be. We'll take a break, be

Speaker 4: you got Kentucky playing, and in all these smaller tournaments,

310
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 4: I love watching them. ESPN plus has them all, and

311
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 4: then you get the big games going into the you know,

312
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 4: the championships. Are you a fan of I guess they

313
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 4: call it madness Week?

314
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 11: Oh?

315
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Today, not as much because every SEC game except

316
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 4: one is tonight. There's one Wednesday game in the restaurant.

317
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: I'll loaded into tonight, so I'll be locked in our conference.

318
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 4: But tomorrow I love like at noon you just sit

319
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 4: down and watch a little a sun I'll admit mostly yeah,

320
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 4: I'm mostly tuned in for the gambling, I won't lie,

321
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 4: But of course you watch basketball in the middle of

322
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 4: the day while you're working. Of course, I'm excited about

323
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: all of them. Yeah, I wish I try to go

324
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 4: to one of those most years, although I don't think

325
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: it's gonna happen this year, but I I I do

326
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 4: really enjoy the.

327
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 5: Sun Belt goes on for like a week.

328
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. What do you think of those tournaments where all right,

329
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 4: you know, there's the regular way conferences can do a

330
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 4: bracket the way the SEC does, but they have these

331
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 4: tournaments where they're trying to protect their top seeds. So

332
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 4: it's like nine plays twelve, ten plays eleven, and then

333
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 4: the winners play eight and seven, and then the winners

334
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 4: play six and five. Do you like it like that? Shannon?

335
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 4: Or to give the to give the best teams a

336
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 4: little bit of an advance.

337
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: It's a lot of weight on the regular season because

338
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: the bottom four have to win seven games and seven

339
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: days to win the title, and it starts today and

340
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 3: doesn't end until next Monday.

341
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I get it, though, don't you. I mean,

342
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 4: I get you're trying to protect you're one.

343
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 3: Of your best team to represent your league in the

344
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: turn in the NCAA tournament, you.

345
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 4: Have the best chance to get a seed where you

346
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 4: could pull off an upset.

347
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, But man, I kind of pull for those

348
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 3: bottom board teams to run the gauntlet though.

349
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 5: That would be really cool to see.

350
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 4: Which one do you prefer if you were running a conference, Ryan,

351
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 4: and you're doing a regular tournament, you're doing a gauntlet.

352
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: I think you gotta do this way. For like, Miami

353
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: Ohio is a perfect example this year, and you.

354
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 4: Know, and they're a regular bracket, so they're like they're

355
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 4: getting no advantage Miami of Ohio.

356
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: I think you want to you'd want to modify the

357
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 2: bracket to kind of protect them a little bit to

358
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: kind of get them in the tournament. But I'm a Shannon.

359
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 2: I would pull for one of those underdog guys to

360
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 2: kind of win four or five six games in a

361
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: row and maybe make this Cinderella run and get into

362
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: the tournament that way.

363
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 4: Speaking about Miami Oha, what do you think about Bruce

364
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 4: Pearl versus Miami OHI. Bruce Pearl is starting like holding

365
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 4: the ground of if they lose, they're out, they're not

366
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 4: and and he went as far as to say that

367
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 4: if they were in the Big East, they would come

368
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 4: in last place.

369
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 5: Those are strong words.

370
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 4: By the way, I don't think he's wrong. Yeah, I

371
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 4: don't think he's wrong. First of all, somebody gave I

372
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 4: think Miami Ohio if they go undefeated, I think it

373
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 4: would be cool to see him in the tournament. But

374
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 4: I also think they would come in last in the sees.

375
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 4: I do now.

376
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 3: I want to see them make the tournament and actually

377
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 3: beat somebody.

378
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 4: But that's a one game scenario, and maybe they will.

379
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 4: Maybe they'll lose by twenty five. But if they had

380
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: to play home and away in the first of all,

381
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 4: Miami OHIW would win no games on the road. Can

382
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 4: we agree on that? In the SEC, I think that's

383
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 4: fair oh and nine. Now, could they pull off one

384
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 4: or two in their home arena, maybe, But Drew, I

385
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 4: think they go. If they're in the SEC, I think

386
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 4: they go two and sixteen. I think they'll lose every

387
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 4: game in the SEC. I mean, they just played like

388
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 4: the two hundred and ninety eighth team and needed a

389
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 4: lay up at the buzzer to win it. Their conference,

390
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 4: they barely have any teams in the top two hundred.

391
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 4: I'm completely with Bruce Pearl for me, it's very simple.

392
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 4: If they win their conference tournament, they went undefeated, so

393
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 4: they're in. Anyway, if they don't win their conference tournament,

394
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 4: they lost. Everyone shut up, they're not undefeated, they don't

395
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 4: get in. Yeah, that's how I am. And by the way,

396
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 4: did you see the Miami of Ohio coach Ryan Did

397
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 4: you see him kick the speaker over.

398
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: Without what's the speaker do to him? Man?

399
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 4: Take it out of the saw this right, Drew Shannon?

400
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 4: You saw?

401
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 11: Yeah?

402
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 8: Right?

403
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 4: So he broke the speaker for Western Michigan. But here's

404
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: what we just learned on ESPN. Learned the speaker was

405
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 4: actually not Western Michigan's. It was their halftime entertainment, the

406
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 4: most Incredible DJ Chuck. Okay, so it was DJ Chuck's speaker.

407
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 4: And by the way, he doesn't just call himself DJ Chuck,

408
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 4: he calls himself the most Incredible Djschuck Chuck.

409
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 5: The speaker's blown out.

410
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 4: Kids speaker caused DJ Chuck three thousand dollars worth of damage.

411
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 4: Miami of Ohio has agreed to reimburse DJ Chuck.

412
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: As they should for his speaker. So did DJ Chuck

413
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: not get to perform at halftime?

414
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 4: Then DJ Chuck was not able to perform it halftime?

415
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 5: What's an easy payday for him?

416
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 4: And he's incredible?

417
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 5: His speaker just got chucked.

418
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, poor DJ Chuck, I didn't know that was part

419
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: of the halftime entertainment speaker.

420
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 4: And first I now share. I want to go hear

421
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 4: the most Can you think you could get him to

422
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 4: open for you at Tien Maroon?

423
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 3: Most incredible DJ, Well, maybe we should open for him

424
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: if he is that incredible.

425
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 4: I don't know you all are not the most incredible.

426
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 3: I mean, if somebody what's giving in chuck our equipment

427
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: and pay us and give us new equipment, be all right, No,

428
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: you have to play, don't get paid.

429
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 4: Let's go to John John, Jerry, are you all doing

430
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 4: doing good?

431
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 8: You think we're gonna win or not?

432
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 4: Well, I mean our picks are at the end of

433
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 4: the show. What do you what do you think?

434
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 8: I think we do.

435
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 11: I think we go down there and win about fifteen.

436
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 11: I think the way we've been playing, if we play

437
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 11: like we did against Vanderbilt, I think I think we win.

438
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 4: Well. I hope you're right. I appreciate the call. We

439
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 4: got a minute here is that right? Cherry? Go ahead?

440
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 6: Cherry Hi, this is just a funny.

441
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 12: You wanted somebody funny, So here you go. Why does

442
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 12: Ryan woman take his clothes off all the time?

443
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 5: I've been wondering the same thing for years.

444
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 4: Is this a joke or an actual question?

445
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 12: No, no, Matt, it's an actual question. Every time I come,

446
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 12: y'all does something? He takes that shirt off?

447
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 5: Why the newdy?

448
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 4: That's right, that's a good question Ryan. And actually, don't

449
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 4: ask Ryan. He'll try to be funny. Why does he

450
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 4: do it?

451
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 8: He'll save a com for lovers.

452
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think the reason, Sherry is he's kind of

453
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 4: got like, he's kind of funny looking, and I think

454
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 4: when he takes his clothes off, it's it's kind of

455
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 4: like a comedy thing, right, Like it's like, oh, look, Ryan,

456
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 4: there he is.

457
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 2: I just love him, and so I just wonder.

458
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 11: But you know, I love all y'all, but it's so funny.

459
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 12: He was just rubbing his chest on them women at

460
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 12: that one place.

461
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't encourage that. I thought that was I

462
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 4: didn't think so, Yeah, I didn't encourage that. I appreciate

463
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 4: you. You couldn't know that I would not do that. I

464
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 4: appreciate it. Yeah, I will not be taking.

465
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: I think Sherry was thirsty.

466
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 4: Drew, I'm not there. This is supposed to be your responsibility.

467
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 4: He's beyond controlling at this point. Remember he's the one

468
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 4: that's almost sixty eight five nine, two eighty seven. We'll

469
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 4: take a break. Very back TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney

470
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 4: called TJ. He'll make them pay.

Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

472
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 5: Here's Matt Jones.

473
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 4: Welcome back to Kentucky Sports Radio. We have breaking news running.

474
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 10: No No.

475
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 4: I hinted at this earlier today and it has now

476
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 4: also been reported by Pete thay Mool of ESPN. Mitch

477
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 4: Barnhardt is expected to retire as soon as today, but

478
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 4: likely this week. After twenty four years the athletic director,

479
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 4: Mitch Barnhardt is expected to retire. So I've heard it's

480
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 4: going to be today, but I don't. I think if

481
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: it's not today, it will be this week. Conversations have

482
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 4: been ongoing in the last four or five days over

483
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 4: the weekend with folks that make decisions in the university,

484
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 4: both boards, board of trustees, etc. And this is where

485
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 4: they ended up. I think, Mitch, I'm gonna give you

486
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 4: my quick take, and then we'll go around around. I

487
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 4: think Mitch Is twenty four years has been a tremendous

488
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 4: athletic director who you could make a pretty strong argument

489
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 4: that virtually every sport was better after he was AD

490
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 4: than it was before. A lot of really good hires

491
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 4: in major sports. Some that come to mind, you know,

492
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 4: Rich Brooks, Mark Stoop's see what happens with will Stein. Obviously,

493
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 4: John cal Perry, We'll see what happens with Mark Pope.

494
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 4: On the women's side, Matthew Mitchell, Kenny Brooks, Nick Minngione, volleyball,

495
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 4: Craig Skinner, They've had a lot of success in softball, track,

496
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 4: you name it. He I think sort of took UK

497
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 4: Athletics from a school that was good at basketball and

498
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 4: occasionally to be good at something else, to really a

499
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: great athletic department across the board, and in the process

500
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 4: helped make the University of Kentucky a much better place

501
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 4: than when he got there. From an athletic standpoint, twenty

502
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 4: four years, longest serving AD in the history of UK athletics,

503
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 4: and now we'll retire. No word on what happens next

504
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 4: or when. If you remember we talked in the fall

505
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 4: his contract allowed him to be paid a certain amount

506
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 4: of year if he got through Christmas. And I said

507
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 4: back in the fall, I expected him to retire this spring,

508
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 4: and he will now, and I think he leaves this

509
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 4: legacy as a great athletic director for the University of

510
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 4: Kentucky who is stepping away at a time that I

511
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 4: think is correct for him to do, leading into the

512
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: next generation. Ryan, what do you think it's.

513
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: A loss, man, You're right, you hit all the highlights.

514
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: It's a it's a big chair of filth what he

515
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: did here at the University of Kentucky. But if he's

516
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: not the kind of guy that wants to adapt to

517
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: the changing college athletic world, maybe it is the right

518
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: time for him to step down and get a breath

519
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 2: or fresh air in there. But just outstanding work he

520
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: did at the University Kentucky. She will always like him

521
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: or not. Of course, he made some decisions a lot

522
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: of people weren't happy with. Overall, he was a great

523
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: improvement for the University of Kentucky.

524
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, twenty four years, you're gonna make decisions

525
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 4: that people don't like. And I was on a personal level,

526
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 4: like I don't know that he ever particularly loved us.

527
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 4: But I will say this almost without fail, always kind

528
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 4: a couple of times in my life, did really really

529
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 4: kind things at times that were important. I think he's

530
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 4: a really good man who who you know, just on

531
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 4: a personal level people should really appreciate. Was head of

532
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 4: this school for so long. T Yeah, you listened to

533
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 4: his accomplishments. I'll add internally some people in the building

534
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 4: speak really highly of him and working for him, people

535
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 4: I know well, including like during COVID when a lot

536
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 4: of athletic departments were having to you know, cut bait

537
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 4: with some people. He did a good job and making

538
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 4: sure UK didn't have to do that and has kept

539
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 4: UK in the green for a long time. So I know,

540
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 4: you know, we know it was like his accomplishments in

541
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: sports and all the secondary stuff you listed, but I

542
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 4: know behind the scenes a lot of people liked working

543
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 4: for him, very loyal person who produced a lot of

544
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 4: over the years. You know a lot of people that

545
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 4: worked at UK are running other athletic departartments around the country,

546
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 4: and I think Drew's right like a person who really

547
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 4: stuck by his people, And you know, I think there's

548
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 4: a lot to say about that. I you know, if

549
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 4: you were going to give the pros. I think he

550
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 4: is very good at managing people. A con he was

551
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: very difficult with dissent. Doesn't like to never particularly like

552
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 4: to be told that people had different opinions than him.

553
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 4: Had a oddly quit temper sometimes. But you know, when

554
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 4: you talk about hiring coaches, hiring cow when he did

555
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 4: that went against probably what he normally would have done,

556
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 4: but he did it and obviously that had a ton

557
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 4: of success. Stuck with rich Brooks when it wasn't popular

558
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 4: and that ended up being successful. Took basically an unknown

559
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 4: mark stoops and had success. Now you also had Billy Gillespie.

560
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 4: You also had Joker Phillips. Y'all say, Kyra Lz, I

561
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 4: mean like they he had mistakes, so but I think

562
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 4: overall a hiring record Ryan, that's that's pretty good.

563
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 2: And usually for athletic directors that that's your legacy. Who

564
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 2: did you hire, who did you set the program up with?

565
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 2: And overall you know you mentioned three misses, the rest

566
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: of them have been home runs, Grand slams, and you

567
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: also mentioned his you're talking about a coaches tree, his

568
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: ad three Scott Strickland, Greg Byrne Dwayne Peevey, John Cohen,

569
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: Rob Mullins.

570
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want you to think about where the people

571
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 4: that started here are. The ad at Florida, Alabama, Oregon

572
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 4: all came from here, Yeah, DePaul Uh.

573
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: Where Dohn Cohen was Atssissippi.

574
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 4: State, Mississippi State. I mean just think about Florida, Alabama.

575
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: And Orgon three pretty big time power power.

576
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 4: Players programs and their ads came from here over the years.

577
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 4: So I wish Mitch the best, Uh, I think it'll

578
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 4: be the The big question is what's next? You know,

579
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 4: we should take a second everybody to sell I break

580
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 4: his tenure because I do think it was very positive.

581
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 4: But what's next is the most important thing and will

582
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 4: dominate the discussion. And will U K hire someone internal?

583
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 4: Do they already have the person picked? Or will they

584
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 4: do a nationwide search and kind of open it up

585
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 4: and go outside the family. These are the questions. You know,

586
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 4: you hear the names people here. I think you have

587
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 4: two different ways to go. Eric Monday is a name

588
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 4: you've heard a lot. Does he switch from working under

589
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 4: the president to the athletic director. Does Mark Hill, who's

590
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 4: second command to Mitch, does he take the job? Do

591
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 4: you bring back Dwayne Peevee, who's at DePaul to take

592
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 4: the job, or do you say we're not going in

593
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 4: that direction at all. We're gonna get someone none of

594
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,959
Speaker 4: us know that to me will be the question that

595
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 4: we figure out here over the next week or ten days,

596
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 4: And it'll be interesting to see Eli Capuludo. I don't

597
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 4: know how much longer he's going to be the president,

598
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 4: so is he going to be making the decision. There's

599
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 4: still a lot of questions to me that are up

600
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 4: in the air that we'll find out here soon. Let's

601
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 4: go to flower Power. Go ahead, how you doing doing good?

602
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 8: Listen? That change over tomorrow is station twelve forty.

603
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 4: Am, twelve forty all right.

604
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 8: It's a Somerset station twelve forty am. And I have

605
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 8: a statement I want you to reply off of it

606
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 8: on Quainton's But we played Georgia and that surreal kid

607
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 8: he tore us up. If we'd had quaintance in there,

608
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 8: I don't think he had done that.

609
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 4: No, I agree with you. That would have been a game.

610
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 4: That would have been a game where he would have

611
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 4: been very useful.

612
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 8: You're right, yeah, But we're going to meet up on

613
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 8: a big in the n C double a. Well, we're

614
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:56,719
Speaker 8: probably needing you know.

615
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 4: That's true. No, that's I think that's a very valid point.

616
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 4: There would be a game. Yeah, no, I agree with that.

617
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 4: I appreciate the call that I think is a very

618
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,480

647
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 4: Center dot com. One person rights Matt. I think Mitch

648
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 4: did a good job, but if you're going to talk

649
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 4: about his legacy, I think you can't skip over the

650
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 4: contracts given to Calip Perry and to Mark Stoops that

651
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 4: put us in a bond with both of them. He

652
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 4: kind of lucked out on the cow one, but we

653
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 4: ended up having to pay the Stoops when I don't

654
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 4: think you can skip over that, Drew, do you agree? Uh?

655
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 4: The cal Hires weird for me with the credit to Mitch,

656
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 4: because I mean, he did hire him, but you know,

657
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 4: it was always reported that he didn't really want to,

658
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 4: and then when Cal was here, they didn't talk. So

659
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 4: when I'm looking at Mitch's legacy the Caliperi era of basketball,

660
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 4: I don't know how much credit to give him. But

661
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 4: he did make that hire and ended up with a banner,

662
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 4: so I guess he's good there. It was just weird

663
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 4: that they never really had a connection when they worked

664
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 4: together for so many years. You really give him credit

665
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 4: for the hire because while I do think I think

666
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 4: it's easy sometimes to go well, you know, when he

667
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 4: gets a bad hire, it's on him, But when he

668
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 4: gets a good hire, it was Mike Pratt or it

669
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 4: was it was like Mike Prepp was part of it,

670
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 4: but Mitch still made the decision. Mitch still had to

671
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 4: be the one to do it, and his initial inclination

672
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 4: was no. I think he initially wanted to hire Tom

673
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 4: is ooh, but Cal won him over because of Cal's charm,

674
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 4: and Mitch made the higher so Ryan I do still

675
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 4: give him credit for that. Now, the fact that their

676
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 4: relationship was bad I actually think is on both of them.

677
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 4: You know, they both could be Stubb and I think

678
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 4: they just didn't connect.

679
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 2: I think Mitche was smart enough to include a guy

680
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 2: like Mike Pratt in that search, and when he hired

681
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 2: Mark Stoops, he was smart enough to include a guy

682
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 2: like Tim Couch, you know, in that search and you

683
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: get that research.

684
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 4: Tim Stein included Jacob Tammy. I mean he always did that.

685
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 4: He always felt like having that connection to a former

686
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 4: player was part of it.

687
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 2: And I feel like I can almost give him a

688
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 2: slide for the cow lifetime contract because you could not

689
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 2: let col go at that time to U C.

690
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 10: L A.

691
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you had to lock him up somehow, And

692
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: I don't I don't thought as much of that one

693
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 2: as I do the Stoops. Now that the Stoops contract

694
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: was a little different.

695
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 4: It was a mistake, but you know what, at the

696
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 4: time they didn't think it. But yes, I do think

697
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 4: that that gets noted. Now this is Scott. Is this

698
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 4: the minister at Southland? Is that what you said?

699
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 13: Yeah, all right, I can I can buy a big

700
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 13: called a lot of things, but a Louisville fan. I

701
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 13: have to clear my name on that one.

702
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 4: We did. We did clear it. We heard that that

703
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 4: was incorrect information.

704
00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 8: So I agree with you.

705
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 13: My phone's been blowing up, but.

706
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 4: We cannot call you a Louisville fan. I appreciate you

707
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 4: calling in. So I saw the thing you posted at

708
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 4: the church about what to tune out? Did you mean CHSR?

709
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 13: I did not. I think that's important to UH to

710
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 13: point out there's nothing about sports on there. Now you

711
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 13: can interpret some of those to where it might apply

712
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 13: to you guys, but there's nothing about radio or sports.

713
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 13: But you did say podcasts that were about Ducky sports radio.

714
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 4: You did say podcasts that were not about Jesus. We're

715
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 4: not about Jesus.

716
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 13: It's true, but I wasn't thinking of you guys as

717
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 13: a podcast only you're called Kentucky Sports Radio.

718
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 4: Okay, A good deal.

719
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 13: It's not a legalistic thing. So as it is obvious

720
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 13: because my phone's been blown up today, we have a

721
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 13: whole bunch of people who are still listening to also.

722
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 4: Well, I mean we talked about it initially yesterday. Did

723
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 4: you hear about it?

724
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 13: Then I started hearing rumblings, and then today I don't

725
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 13: know what set it off, but my phone just started

726
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 13: going nuts. I don't think if I had confirmation.

727
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 4: I don't think people would have to admit that they

728
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 4: were listening, because that would be exactly So explain real quick.

729
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 4: I've got like just a minute what your goal with

730
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 4: the challenge was or is.

731
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I think you guys would probably agree

732
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 13: with this. Like, we just have so many voices, so

733
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 13: much of our algorithm is shaped around creating like an

734
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 13: echo chamber. We were just trying to reshape people people's algorithms.

735
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 13: So what if we just took a little time and

736
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 13: just said, hey, let's just tune into one voice and

737
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 13: see if that would maybe bring down the anxiety level

738
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 13: that we all experience and many other things. So that

739
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 13: was the goal.

740
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 4: We we're good. Well, first of all, I appreciate you

741
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 4: calling in way to be a good sport really and

742
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 4: you listen, the couple people I heard from about it,

743
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 4: we're doing it, so they were doing your challenge. They

744
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 4: were just saying to me that they missed the show.

745
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 4: So clearly I think people have been following.

746
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 13: There you go, there you go, And if people think

747
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 13: that's what they need to tune out for a little while,

748
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 13: that's their deal. But we're not trying to be legalistic

749
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 13: with it. And hey, in all seriousness, all good fun.

750
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 4: Great to hear from you, guys, gat to hear from you.

751
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 4: And give my guy James tall Rico another chance. Scott,

752
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 4: you have you have a good day, a right?

753
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,080

Speaker 11: I'm old, and uh, this has been one of the

762
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 11: most exciting seasons that I can remember. I mean, just

763
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 11: you know, everybody's got such high expectations.

764
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 4: And and what what's made it so exciting for you?

765
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 4: Is it just because you don't know what's gonna happen

766
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 4: game to game.

767
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 11: You never know, man, what you're gonna get. And it's

00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 4: And you certainly don't know what you think you're going

774
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 4: to happen. That's exactly right. No appreciate to calling you.

775
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 4: Certainly don't know what you're gonna get I don't know

776
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 4: what we're gonna get tonight, Marcia, go ahead, Marcia. Well

777
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 4: hello there there.

778
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 12: I just wanted to comment on you.

779
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 9: Telling the guy that they might beat the players tonight,

780
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 9: and I hope they do. But I want to tell

781
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 9: you I went to South Carolina and they run us

782
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 9: out of the gym.

783
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 4: Did they really?

784
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 9: Yes?

785
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 6: They did.

786
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 9: I was sied up.

787
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 12: I was looking forward to seeing poping them and we

788
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 12: were went over there and uh, I mean and all

789
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 12: that there was nobody South Carolina people left. None of

790
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 12: their players came out at it, but worse staying and none.

791
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 12: If you do not have a blue band on, you

792
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 12: must leave, and that only included.

793
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 4: I wonder why that doesn't usually happen at these road games.

794
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 4: Maybe South Carolina was just particularly frustrated.

795
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, they run us out, and Tommy happened to have

796
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 9: a blue band on, so he snapped down there and

797
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 9: he got to meet the Noah's and they were nice

798
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 9: to him, and he said, only Noah and Malachi came out.

799
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 11: And that was it they run us out there.

800
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sorry, and I went to.

801
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 9: Oh it's okay, I'll have another time.

802
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 4: Sometimes I hate to cut you out, but I gotta

803
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 4: finish this. I appreciate it. Nice to hear from you.

804
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 4: All right, Let's do a little DraftKings bet five. You

805
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 4: can win up to two hundred dollars and bonus bets.

806
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: Get yourself ready for March Madness. Big games coming this

807
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 4: weekend and conference tournament week. Let's take our Let's take

808
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 4: our pick tonight. I'll start with you, you, Drew, we

809
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 4: are a two and a half point underdog at A

810
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 4: and M. What are you thinking? I like the Cats

811
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 4: tonight obviously got a lot of momentum going with how

812
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 4: well they played against Vanderbilt. I know it's a road game,

813
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 4: but they've played well on a lot of road games

814
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,479
Speaker 4: this year. One of the season. I think the Cats

815
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 4: get it done and take advantage of A and M

816
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 4: collapsing in on a late slide here. So no Bucky

817
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 4: ball for Drew Shannon.

818
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 3: I'll go Kentucky steals one on the road, seventy seven

819
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 3: to seventy six.

820
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 5: I think Colin Chandler is going to continue to be hot.

821
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 4: You think we hit like a shot at the buzzer

822
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 4: or something like that.

823
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 5: No, I just think it's just a really really close game.

824
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 5: So yeah, about like a one point game.

825
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 4: All right, let's Ryan.

826
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I with Shannon. I think it's gonna be really

827
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 2: close game because it means that this game means a

828
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 2: lot for Texas A and M for their NCAA tournament life.

829
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 2: So I think Kentucky gets it those seventy nine seventy seven.

830
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: I think it is. I think it's a rock fight

831
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 2: for most of the game. I'll go, oh way, he's

832
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 2: been this, you can't go against him anymore.

833
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take Kentucky eighty two eighty. I think it'll

834
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 4: be a tough battle. I say, oh way, we need

835
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 4: to have him with the game winning shot down the stretch.

836
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 4: I think he gets an a N one light that

837
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 4: gives Kentucky the win. Now do they announce the Mitch

838
00:41:55,120 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 4: retirement officially by twelve thirty? Were they until this show ends?

839
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 4: So yes, yes, yes, always happens any minute now.

840
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 3: They didn't want that the leak out. Probably we announced

841
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 3: it first. They didn't want the.

842
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 4: Well that will be the bed of the day. Because

843
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 4: I think I said when the show started twelve oh five,

844
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 4: didn't I yes, If this comes out in the next

845
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 4: thirty five minutes, that will really make me laugh. We'll see.

846
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 4: Right now, it's just Pete thay Moore reporting it. But

847
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 4: I do think it's gonna come out today. We'll see

848
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 4: if it happens in the next thirty five minutes. We'll

849
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 4: be back four thirty for the pregame show. You can
