00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: How do you know that?

49
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 4: And I just saw the memo that was sent to

50
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 4: all of us.

51
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 2: Yes, speaking of Scoop limit, you broke Andrew Carr's sister's

52
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: commitment to UK volleyball. I guess she had to put

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: it out because you screwed that up. Is there anybody

54
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: else's dream you'd like to end today? She probably had

55
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: a ceremony plan, had to cancel that and theody was like,

56
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: oh well, Ryan Lemon put it out. I guess we

57
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: need to say it.

58
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: I did mention that her teammate maybe following her.

59
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: Here here we go. Does that person have a name?

60
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 7: I think coach Skinner said it was Evelyn. I'm not

61
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 7: for sure about that, but it's Evellin first.

62
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 2: That doesn't sound like a that sounds like a grandmother Evelyn.

63
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: I have to research that, all right, So I do

64
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: want to make a memo to the coaches at UK.

65
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: Don't say anything to Ryan that you don't want him

66
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: to say, like, don't. I mean we learned that Will

67
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: Wolford yesterday had been contacted by you and se well,

68
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: Will Wolford did too. I mean they went through Will

69
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: to get to Eric. Yeah, they to Eric, but Eric

70
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: Wolford and now we've we've found out the volleyball commitments.

71
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: And I'm not sure Drew they wanted any of those things.

72
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 6: Said, well, I don't think they'll mind Evelyn getting out

73
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 6: because in front of me and there's not an Evely.

74
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: But it does sound like there's more in that brain. Okay,

75
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: actually pull up producer Roster. Do you think you would

76
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: recognize the first name if it said since you thought

77
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: it was Evelyn.

78
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 7: I thought the name that popped in my head was

79
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 7: Evelyn Hudson. But I don't know if that was anywhere.

80
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 6: I gotta give him credit. There is one very close

81
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 6: to that. There is an Eva Hudson.

82
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: I think that's it.

83
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: I think so you're going, so you're scooping Eva Hudson

84
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: to u K.

85
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 7: She is like a superstar volleyball player, you think, yep,

86
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 7: I'm going with Shannon.

87
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: Do we think Eva Hudson is coming to UK? Is Shannon.

88
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: Here are we on the air?

89
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 4: What's up?

90
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: I'm trying to answer calls?

91
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so do you already asking what I

92
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: was asking? If you think Ryan's right that Eva Hudson

93
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: is coming.

94
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: He's one for one in his volleyball scoop, So why

95
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 3: would I have any reason to doubt him?

96
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough? All right, So let's talk about a

97
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: couple of things. First of all, Kentucky got a wide

98
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 2: receiver commitment JJ Hester Hester Uh started at Missouri. Was

99
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: that Oklahoma? Uh? He's six ' four. He's clearly brought

100
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: in to be the Dane Key replacement.

101
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

102
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: As part of that, Ryan Lemon will become his godfather

103
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: when he gets on campus. Are I don't know much? Well,

104
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: I mean I'm going to say this about all these guys,

105
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: I don't know much about him. Should we be excited?

106
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: That's not a yes.

107
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 6: Well, it's respectfully to him in the entire operation adding

108
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 6: a wide receiver to Kentucky's offense. I mean, you know,

109
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 6: it's not exactly we're gonna throw. We'll we'll figure that

110
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 6: out on the road. But him specifically, he's just oklahoma

111
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 6: second leading receiver. Yeah, big guy, kind of a throw

112
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 6: it up to him. Guy in the end zone mentioned

113
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 6: kind of plays a little leg dame, but he's his

114
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 6: He averaged like twenty two yards of catch, so he's

115
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 6: a deep threat.

116
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 8: And again.

117
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: He has the longest touchdown pass in Oklahoma, like in

118
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: their home field history.

119
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 4: Really Yeah, didn't have.

120
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 6: A ton of receptions, but three hundred something yards second

121
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 6: on the team. He and Macklin were on the same

122
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 6: roster at Missouri, and bush Hampden was also on the

123
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 6: staff there, so there's a bush Hampden clearly, there's some

124
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 6: familiarity there.

125
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: But so here's my question for you. This, This is

126
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: why I bring this up because I'm seeing something that

127
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: dismays me a little bit, Ryan, and I want to

128
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: know if you agree with the dismay. Alright, So let's

129
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: just assume for sake of argument. Well, I'm not gonna say,

130
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean this is true. Mark Stoops is going to

131
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: be the coach here next year. Does anybody disagree with it? Statement?

132
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: Do not know? Anybody disagree? No, all right, And that's

133
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: happening whether any of our fans like it or not. Correct, correct,

134
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: all right. So because of that, there is it is

135
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: my view that there comes a point where I think

136
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: I said this about cal when it first looked like

137
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: he was going to come back, I was like, well,

138
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: if he's gonna come back now, we might as well

139
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: hope it works, right. I don't like that I see

140
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: when these transfers commit, because I actually think you can

141
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: make a strong argument that they've done really well so

142
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: far in the portal of their commitments, that the you know,

143
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: you got the linebacker from Marshall, You've gotten a couple

144
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: of really good offensive linemen. I think another one. Did

145
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: one commit yesterday as well? They added one yesterday. So

146
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: they have a guy from Bowling Green, I think, a

147
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: guy from Arkansas. The kid from New Mexico is like

148
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: nine hundred pounds, this big guy.

149
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 7: I think they're getting a kid from Western Kentucky soon too.

150
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 7: He's the center.

151
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: Look at this guy, I mean, how do you know that?

152
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: What else do you know? Like? Why don't you just.

153
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 4: Like did I just make that up? Or I think

154
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: there's a center from Western Kentucky?

155
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: I mean maybe, but are you like you're just saying things?

156
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: Is that true? You can't just say a position in

157
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: a school and say they're coming.

158
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say it's true. A center from Western Kentucky

159
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 7: is and what's his name?

160
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: I don't know.

161
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: Okay, So Evelyn from Western Kentucky is coming. Okay, so

162
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: let's just say, since you've been right on these, let's

163
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: say we have a center from West I know they're

164
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: getting four new offensive linemen. By by the way, Dylan Ray,

165
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: who played some last year, is entering the portal. But

166
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: my point is when all of these people commit I

167
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: see the same responses in the comments to the announcement,

168
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: which is who cares we anyway? Basically, and I wish

169
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: we would stop that. I mean, I know I'm not

170
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: going to be able to stop make it. To make

171
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: that stop, people are gonna say what they say. But

172
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: at some point I don't really think that's a good

173
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: welcome to these kids to the university. I mean, the

174
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: reality is, how many of you ever have any clue

175
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: what the offensive lineman we got from New Mexico yesterday,

176
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: whether or not he's good, no idea, nobody does none

177
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: of us have any idea. No do we have any

178
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: idea if the offensive lineman from Bowling Green is good?

179
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: No no idea. The wide receiver from Oklahoma, how many

180
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: of you could have picked him? Out of a lineup

181
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: before nobody the defensive lineman from USC Nope, the linebacker

182
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 2: from Marshall. Maybe if you live in Ashland you ran

183
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: into him sometime. But I really don't feel like it's

184
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 2: fair to these kids that they come. They're presumably a

185
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: money and our first reaction is at least away, I

186
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: wish we look Mark's coming, so we need to have

187
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: the best team we can. Am I wrong in sort

188
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: of being too Pollyanna and saying can we not just

189
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: at least feign excitement for these guys? Or do people

190
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: just want to be Do they just want to spend

191
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: every day for the next eight months want complaining?

192
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 6: I mean, I think we all knew this was coming

193
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 6: when the season ended. We've even said there's nothing he

194
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 6: can do between now and next year.

195
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: But isn't there a time to stop it, at least

196
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: as it pertains to other players? I mean, if you

197
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: want to criticize Stoops, he makes nine million dollars, go

198
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: for it. But is it fair to Wallace Umanda when

199
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: he commits that his entire comments section is we stink.

200
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 6: I agree with you on that, in person by person

201
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 6: we should be welcoming you. Certainly shouldn't be replying to

202
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 6: their commitment graphics or news stories about them where they're

203
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 6: seeing it. They're just kids getting here for the first time.

204
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 6: They had nothing to do with the culture and the problems.

205
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 6: So if you're on there complaining where they can see

206
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 6: it directly to them, that's outrageous. But I get if

207
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 6: you're not excited because we added a wide receiver. I

208
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 6: don't use wide receiver.

209
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: I'm not saying anybody needs to be excited, but there's

210
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: a difference between being excited and just being negative and

211
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: just being like, we are awful. I mean, it is

212
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: what it is. At this point. You can sit there

213
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 2: and say we should have gotten rid of stoops, and

214
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: you you have a right to that opinion, but like

215
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: that's not happening now, So what good does it do

216
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: to be just like just furious all year?

217
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 7: I love this argument, because you're right, we should be

218
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 7: celebrating these players that are coming in. But is it

219
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 7: we like you know, we're we're we're butt hurt because

220
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 7: of this last couple of years. Well that couldn't think

221
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 7: of a better word.

222
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: They were there, there's they're thesauruses, But go ahead.

223
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 7: Uh, we're butt hurt from the last two years, and

224
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 7: we know the season is gonna be even tougher next

225
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 7: the schedule, even though we've got these great players coming in.

226
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 7: It's a good discussion to have because we what's your opinion.

227
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 7: I think we're gonna have a really good team. I

228
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 7: really do. I don't know if it's gonna translate into

229
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 7: wins because of the schedule, but I think they're gonna

230
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 7: have a really good team.

231
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 4: You do, Yeah, really, I do?

232
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 7: Why because whether we get this kid who's quo incarnate word,

233
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 7: I'm all in on Cockcutter Bowlie.

234
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 4: I think he could be a.

235
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: Stret at all. Concerned about the Louisville game and that

236
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: it didn't seem well, he got.

237
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 7: Hurt, you know, he didn't get to get to play

238
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 7: the whole game. I think he's gonna be a star,

239
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 7: and I hope that well.

240
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: I'm not ready to say we're gonna be good. I

241
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: have no idea, to be honest with you. Somebody put

242
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: the projected starting lineup on offense last night on KS

243
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: board and I looked at it and I was like,

244
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: who are these people? I mean, just think about the

245
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: projected starting lineup if the season started tomorrow. There would

246
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: be three names, maybe no two names that you all

247
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 2: know in the projected starting lineup, Jamrion, Willcox and Macklin.

248
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: That's it. You wouldn't know any of the offensive and

249
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: Willie Rodrigans excuse me, Willie Rodriguez. You wouldn't know any

250
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 2: of the offensive linemen. You're not gonna know the quarterback.

251
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: You're probably not gonna know the backup running back. You're

252
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: not gonna know any of the receivers. Maybe hardly Gilmore

253
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: if he stays. But there is, it's gonna be completely new.

254
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 2: But I just I don't know. I felt bad. I

255
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: looked at one of those kids, I think it was Wallace,

256
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: the kid from New Mexico, and I'm like, this can't

257
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: be a welcome to Kentucky. The other thing is, I

258
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw the video of the Kansas

259
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: State basketball player, have you seen that? Kansas State has

260
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: probably been the biggest disappointment in college basketball. They spent

261
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: a ton of money on nil. They brought these kids

262
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 2: in and they stink right now. They've lost like six

263
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: games already or five games. And one of the kids

264
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: they brought in that was the biggest is a kid

265
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: from Illinois Coleman Hawkins. I think we looked at him

266
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: at one point. He ends up going to Kansas State.

267
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: He did a postgame interview after their loss the other

268
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: night and was like this stinks. He goes, I came here,

269
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: and he was like, all anybody ever writes me is

270
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: break your leg. You're terrible. Why did you come here?

271
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 2: And he goes, I thought these were supposed to be

272
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: our fans, and I thought, I kind of feel bad

273
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: about that for that guy.

274
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 6: I saw Jerome Tank sit up for him and said,

275
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 6: there's been unfair criticism this year because our nil is

276
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 6: so big. I didn't see the calm and video, but

277
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 6: I guess that's what he was.

278
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: But part of that is when you start paying people,

279
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: people are gonna complain like that. And Kansas State, Kansas

280
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: State paid a lot. They may have paid as much

281
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: as anybody, and they've been bad. But I just I

282
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe I'm just as softie, but I just

283
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: feel bad when these new kids commit here and so

284
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: you're never gonna be able to change the negative people.

285
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: But I hope we have fans now that the next

286
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: time you see a guy commit, say something positive. I mean,

287
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 2: you know, what I mean, like, Okay, Wallace, Umanda, none

288
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: of us know you, but go get them. Well, yeah,

289
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, what else? What else is it

290
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: gonna be?

291
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 7: You're right, you know these new kids you mentioned, the

292
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 7: young guys with Cutter and will Cox and Patterson and

293
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 7: Willie Rodriguez. You got mister football mon Tavin Quisenberry coming

294
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 7: in from Boyle County, who Vince has already said is

295
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 7: like a miniature Wandelle Robinson.

296
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 4: You know, he thinks he could be that kind of guy.

297
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 7: So you know, there are some reasons, I think, to

298
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 7: get excited if we can just get over what has

299
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 7: happened in the past.

300
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: Well, the rint is these dudes transferring in on the portal.

301
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: That's who's playing next year. I mean, they're not bringing

302
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: them in here to sit the bitch. They're bringing them

303
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: in here because they think they can play. So we

304
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: might as well at least not slam the door on

305
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: their face as there as they're coming in. If I'm

306
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, Texamachine is

307
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: seven seven two seven seven four five two five four

308
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: basketball Kentucky plays Ohio State and Madison Square Garden. I

309
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: want you to think about what are the best games

310
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: Kentucky's played in New York over the years. What are

311
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,600

312
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: very back here at the ksbar. Welcome back Kentucky Sports Radio.

313
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,

314
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: I have some verification of Ryan's Western Kentucky scoop, Shannon,

315
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: you want to hear to go? Uh. This is from

316
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: a girl, a woman on the text machine, who says, Matt,

317
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: I was running around with my friends at Santa Con

318
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati, and we found some friends in Covington, and

319
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: there were a group of college girls in Santa outfits

320
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: who were telling me that they have a friend who's

321
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: a center at Western who's coming to play at Canada. Oh,

322
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: Santa Con. Santa Con, Scooper reporting, now scare Santa kN

323
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: college student report. That's were you there? Is that? Why you?

324
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 7: That's where you got your thing? Well, we do know

325
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 7: you always want to trust the girl, the girlfriend. She

326
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 7: is usually right about these sort of things. Well, this

327
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,479
Speaker 7: may be the sinner's girlfriend.

328
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: They say, Shannon at Santa Con. So I don't know.

329
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: I've been into New York. I've been in New York

330
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: when Santa Con happens, absolute cluster. It's the worst. It's

331
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: the worst.

332
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: It was during the Kentucky Seaton Hall game.

333
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, it was everywhere, and then now they

334
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: do it. They might have always done it, but they

335
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 2: do it in Cincinnati, and it's just it's absolutely, absolutely wild.

336
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: I watched a lot of college basketball last night, and

337
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: I got it was really good. Did you see any

338
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: of it?

339
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 4: Well, I saw the highlights. Oklahoma, let's be really good.

340
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: Oklahoma is stillundefeated, one of only a handful of teams

341
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: still undefeated.

342
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 4: Talk about them in the SEC.

343
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: They got a kid named Jeremiah Fears who's a freshman,

344
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: and he will strike fear in our heart. He hit

345
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: some big shots. They came back and beat Michigan, then Yukon.

346
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley, I mean, maybe it's he says it's good

347
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: for college basketball, that he's the jerk. Maybe it is,

348
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: but he was out of control last night. Xavier should

349
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: have beaten Yukon at home. But here's a crazy story.

350
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: Since two thousand and ten, you're never gonna believe this stat.

351
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: You know how many conference openers Yukon is one Since

352
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: twenty ten, first game of their conference season, they've only

353
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: won five, which is the exact same amount of national

354
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: championships they won. Well, that's crazy. Is that not crazy?

355
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 4: It's crazy?

356
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: And they won last night. But then the game that

357
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: intrigued me the most is I turn on the TV

358
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: in Alabama or excuse me, Arkansas or no Alabama. Alabama

359
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: is playing at at North Dakota in the North Dakota

360
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: home gym, and I'm sitting.

361
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 4: There going why why?

362
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: And then I read that when Grant Nelson committed to Alabama,

363
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: he asked natoates, I'll commit here and play in the

364
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 2: transfer portal if you promise me we'll play one game

365
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: in my home state. Natos says yes, So they schedule

366
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: a road game at North Dakota. North Dakota's four and eight.

367
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: They play in a little cracker box gym. Game was

368
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 2: last night. First half, Alabam goes down ten. Really North

369
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: Dakota's four and eight. Alabama goes down ten with just

370
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: a few minutes to go. It's a two point game.

371
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 2: And I was sitting there thinking, if they lose this game,

372
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 2: Grant Nelson will have to walk back to Alabama. If

373
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: they flew all the way to North Dakota played in

374
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 2: this tiny gym, surely cost their program money and then

375
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: they lose. They ended up hanging on to win. Nelson

376
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: had like twenty three points. I think it's very cool

377
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: they did that. I kind of would like it if

378
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: we did that once every couple of years, just played

379
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: in a tiny gym somewhere. It's a cool atmosphere, but

380
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: you gotta win that game if you make your team

381
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: go all the way to North Dakota.

382
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 6: I had a few of those games. Remember we played

383
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 6: at Portland for Terrence Jones.

384
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 2: Yep, but we played in like the NBA gym. I

385
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: don't think when is the last time, not in like

386
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 2: the end we played in the NIT we played at Creighton.

387
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 2: When's the last time at Kentucky we've played in a

388
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: little gym in a regular season game on the r

389
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: That's a great question. When is that? Because like I'm

390
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: just thinking over the years, North Carolina has played at

391
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: College of Charleston a couple of times.

392
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 4: And played it, went to Evansville, played the University of Evansville.

393
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: North Carolina did huh because.

394
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 4: Tyler Zeller or Cody Zeller one of the Zelers.

395
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: So when is the last time Kentucky has ever played

396
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 2: a game like that. I have to tell you, I

397
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 2: can't remember Kentucky ever playing a game like that. You know,

398
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: obviously we played at Robert Moore or excuse me, we played, yeah,

399
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: at Robert Morris, but that was an n I game,

400
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: and that we didn't we didn't choose that.

401
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 6: Even in games that were kind of homecoming games like

402
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 6: the Penn game last year, they played in the.

403
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: They played in the big arena.

404
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 6: I can't think of going to just the local, smallest

405
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 6: Corey Price.

406
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: This is for you. When's the last time we played

407
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: a game like that? Because I don't remember us ever

408
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: doing it. I'm sure we did at some point, long,

409
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 2: long time ago.

410
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 6: But what I found interesting about Alabama is they went

411
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 6: back to North Dakota for Grant Nelson, but he played

412
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 6: at North Dakota State, so they didn't even play his

413
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 6: own school.

414
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: I guess they still got him home, that would be true,

415
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: but they went to the school.

416
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 6: That he didn't go to, and they went to their rival. Yeah,

417
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 6: that's kind of and he just wanted to beat them

418
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 6: one more time. He's like, you know what, I want.

419
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 2: To be all right, So let's talk about another Kentucky

420
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: History thing, Madison Square Guard play, Madison Square Garden play

421
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 2: Saturday against Ohio State. I'm starting to get fomo. I'm

422
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 2: staying here because my friends are all doing their Christmas

423
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: thing where I'm gonna watch the game here at the bar.

424
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: I've only done that a handful of times for basketball,

425
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna do it Saturday. But I do like

426
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: those games in Madison Square Garden, which got me to think,

427
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: all right, what are our the best memories in Madison

428
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 2: Square Guard. The ones that come to my head. The

429
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: biggest one John Wall against Yukon right, that was the

430
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 2: That was the Dick Ytel going, oh like he just

431
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: beating people off the dribble. I got punched at that game.

432
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: That's why you got punched at that game. I remember

433
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 2: that was when I were fighting everyone and well that

434
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 2: was when I was like, why did I hire this guy?

435
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 2: He's getting in fights at games? Tyrese Maxie. That was

436
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 2: the game where we did the game Maxie goes off.

437
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: That night, I get pulled off the radio couse of

438
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell and at two thirty am give my goodbye speech.

439
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: But it was still a great game.

440
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 4: It's Michigan State.

441
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 2: That's against Michigan State. That's one of the most memorable

442
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: nights in my life. Maxie goes off, but sheer beats

443
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 2: Bevan for governor. And I was watching the returns from

444
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: the Madison Square Garden press row celebrate because I didn't

445
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: like Bevin. Get home find out I'd lost my gig.

446
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 4: Wow, that's a that's a heck of a knight. That's

447
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 4: a heck of a knight.

448
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 2: Other ones, we beat Kansas the Anthony Davis year by

449
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: like a thousand in Madison Square Garden that.

450
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 6: Year Davis versus Robinson one verse two there.

451
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: That was in Madison Square Garden. Think of you have others?

452
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: We Seaton Hall hit that, we hit a half court

453
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: shot Kelton Johnson to send it to overtime, then lost

454
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: in overtime to Seaton Hall. That was in the garden.

455
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 6: I think I've been at every Garden game in the

456
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 6: last fifteen years, and unfortunately, I think we've lost three

457
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 6: out of four.

458
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: So what are the other ones? You remember? Oh?

459
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 4: I remember they beat was it Monmouth?

460
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? They killed and we went to Monmouth because they

461
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: switched the hockey game during the I was doing the

462
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 2: postgame show where they were flipping the arena from basketball

463
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: to a hockey game.

464
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 6: That night early in the Calier, He's winning them all.

465
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 6: Killed Kansas there, Uh, the Monmouth game. Beat Michigan State

466
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 6: another time, but then we got beat by UCLA and

467
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 6: the CBS sports.

468
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: Ah, that's right.

469
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 6: We stayed the next day and went to the Bronx

470
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 6: to see recruit and Cow was at the game and

471
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 6: he just stared at the floor, didn't watch.

472
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 2: The Is there you need like from back in the day.

473
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: Did they used to play their pre cow very much.

474
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, they played.

475
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 7: We played in the nineties and because I think there

476
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 7: was a point where they were undefeated in the garden

477
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,479
Speaker 7: like eleven and oh, twelve and oh and then they

478
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 7: got beat by somebody in the late nineties because color

479
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 7: was there. I can't remember what it was, but there

480
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 7: was a it was a big deal. The first loss,

481
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 7: was it Arizona?

482
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well so anyway, we we have a lot of

483
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 2: guard members. We gotta win Saturday. Though Ohio State's not good,

484
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: we need to beat them. Hopefully we will. We'll take

485
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: a break, take a calls very back. It's KSR. TJ. Smith,

486
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 2: personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay.

487
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

488
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones.

489
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 2: Walk come back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Cats in

490
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 2: New York this weekend A five nine two eight oh

491
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two seven

492
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: seven four five two five four. So the best we

493
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: can find is that in nineteen eighty five Kentucky played

494
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 2: at Shamanad and at Hawaii, not in the Maui Invitational,

495
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: but in an actual game. They played a road game

496
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 2: at Shamanad.

497
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 4: This is that's that's the arena in Ohio University.

498
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 2: So you're telling me it says nineteen ninety seven we

499
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: played at Ohio in Athens, Ohio.

500
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 4: And then in their Commications Center.

501
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: But that says it holds thirteen thousand. We were in

502
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: that arena. That arena didn't hurt hold thirteen thousand people.

503
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 6: It was a pretty big place, so we got you

504
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 6: got assume it was a sellout with Kentucky. So maybe

505
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 6: it's captain right at thirteen. All right, that's pretty big bold.

506
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 6: So so you're saying at Ohio.

507
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 7: At Ohio, I don't remember that game at all. Tubby

508
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 7: was a coach in ninety seven, and I don't remember

509
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 7: the ninety seven ninety eight season.

510
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, had fifteen. I got the box score. Nazi had fifteen.

511
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: People are saying other ones, but they're all games where

512
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 2: we played a team, but we were in the bigger

513
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: court in the game, Like we played Right State in Dayton,

514
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: but we played him in the big arena. We didn't

515
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: play them in their little home.

516
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

517
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: So so yeah, So what did we get a commitment

518
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: from a running back? Did that happen?

519
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 6: We lost a running back? I don't know if we've

520
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 6: added a running back.

521
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: See if we got a commitment from a running back

522
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 2: from Nebraska. We took a big loss to Missouri yesterday.

523
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: See if we got a commitment from a running back

524
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: from Nebraska. Don't be nagative and just tell me about

525
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 2: the loss.

526
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 6: I think, here we go, he's visiting as he committed.

527
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: Oh, he's visited. What's his name, Doubtell Dowdell. Yeah, all right,

528
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: we'll look at that. Dante Daldell.

529
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 7: Do you think people are down on Hudder or optimistic

530
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 7: about Cutter?

531
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 2: Because you know, I think people are down on stoops

532
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: and they're putting it on every single player on the team,

533
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: which I don't think is fair. I think people people

534
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: are very down on Stoops. I think Stoops has done

535
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: himself no favors. From a PR perspective. Stoops should have

536
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: already been on this show. Now. I know he had

537
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 2: to have like ankle surgery or something that's probably been

538
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: part of it. But I mean, I'm gonna be honest

539
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: with you. I told him that we were on the

540
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: funk when I had a long conversation with him on

541
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: my way to Seattle. So I guess that was what now,

542
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 2: two weeks ago? Yeah, when did we go to Seattle?

543
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: It feels like, matter of fact, it was two weeks

544
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 2: two weeks ago today. And I said, man, you got it.

545
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: You need to come on. You need to let me

546
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 2: ask you hard questions and you need to And he

547
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 2: hasn't done it yet, and he said he will. I

548
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: believe him. But like they they they haven't handled PR well.

549
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: This the UK football and I'm not saying anything today.

550
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: I didn't say directly to them, so I don't feel

551
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 2: like I'm speaking out of turn. I said this to

552
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: Mark Stoops, I've said this to the UK PR people.

553
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: I've said this to Evins. They have handled pr poorly

554
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: since the season. They need to be out giving people confidence,

555
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 2: and they're not saying a word. And that's a mistake.

556
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 2: It's a mistake. I used to say this during col

557
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 2: If you say nothing, silence will be filled by other

558
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: voices right side. You're never gonna get people to not talk.

559
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 2: So the question is do you want to fill it

560
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: with your voice or do you want to fill it

561
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: with somebody else's. Let me tell you who's really good

562
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 2: at this, Donald Trump. Donald Trump knows that like everyone's

563
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 2: gonna want to talk about the president, so he just

564
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: does all the talking and even if it's rambling, he

565
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: still gets to be the one to control the message.

566
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: Joe Biden did the opposite. He didn't say anything, and

567
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: then the void is filled with other people's voices who

568
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: are defining you as you sit silently. The other voices

569
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 2: tell everybody what to think. The UK football staff has

570
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 2: been silent since the Louisville game, except when Vince was

571
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 2: on here. And I love Vince, but I told him

572
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: yesterday that wasn't his finest work in the world or

573
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 2: during those ten minutes. They need to be out winning

574
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: people over. They're not doing that, and so the cutters

575
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: of the world are paying the price for it because

576
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: people are mad at the coaches, and thus they're taking

577
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: it out on the players. And I don't think that's fair,

578
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: but it's a natural reaction.

579
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 6: Not only are they not trying to get out in

580
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 6: front of anything. I mean, didn't he skip the last

581
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 6: radio show?

582
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: Radio show? He hasn't come on here, He hasn't done

583
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 2: a year in press conference, he hasn't done that. They

584
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: were like on the recruiting you know, the signing day thing.

585
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: He did it for like five minutes, Like, but again,

586
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: who does that remind you of what happened at the

587
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 2: end of the cal era. He skipped all his press

588
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 2: conce and says he stopped going on shows, and then

589
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 2: he wondered why people got upset. You have to be

590
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: out front making your message. If you don't define yourself,

591
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 2: somebody else Ryan is gonna do it.

592
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, cause you've got a little positive momentum right now

593
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 7: with these guys you're bringing in the portal.

594
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 4: You get your quarterback this week. He had two quarterbacks

595
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 4: on campus this week.

596
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 7: If you get one of those two guys, I think

597
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 7: it is time to get out in front of it

598
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 7: and kind of you know, push that positive momentum forward.

599
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: So, look, is he gonna be able to win all

600
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: people over? No, he probably won't be able to win

601
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: most people over. But there's a lot of people here

602
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 2: that may be like tired of stoops but would at

603
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: least like to feel good going into the season. He's

604
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: gonna have to be the one that does that. Who's

605
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: up first, Shin, let's go to Doug. Doug, go ahead, Doug.

606
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, man, I'm I'm gonna purpose this by saying that

607
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 8: I am a huge mark. Yes, but that right now

608
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 8: and michellin torn football is just like it was for

609
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 8: the last couple of years with Cal. It's hard for

610
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 8: me to get excited about and watch who's coming in

611
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 8: because I know next year is probably gonna be worse

612
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 8: than it was this year because the SEC is so

613
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 8: tough and our schedule is terrible, and I don't it's

614
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 8: just hard for me to get excited about what's going

615
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 8: on in football.

616
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: I totally get that, appreciate the call. I totally get

617
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: why people would have a hard time being excited. I

618
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 2: have a hard time being excited. Do I look at

619
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: that schedule and think Kentucky's gonna go eight and four. No,

620
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: do I want to make another video like the one

621
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: I did that went viral where I said they might

622
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: go to the playoff. No, and I ain't gonna do

623
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: it again. But you know what's the other choice? Just

624
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: sit here and go gloom, despair and agony on me,

625
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: deep dark depression is all I can see. I mean,

626
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: at some point you just you gotta at least go well.

627
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: I mean, this kid could be good. This is the

628
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: situation relation Stoops is in.

629
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 6: Until he wins a game, a home game, people are

630
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 6: just not gonna be fired up. But such a letdown.

631
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 6: Last year you won the transport portal. Last year, all

632
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 6: the story is written about you going to the season

633
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 6: where how Kentucky navigated the portal not many loss has

634
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 6: added big pieces, and then you don't win at home.

635
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 6: I just don't think there's anything he can do until

636
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 6: he wins the four.

637
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: I disagree with you on there's nothing he can do.

638
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 2: He is he gonna win everybody over, No, But there

639
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: are things he can do. He can go out. He

640
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: has to make his case for it. I mean, if

641
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: you don't believe there's anything he could do, then he

642
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: should say nothing. But I disagree with that, I think

643
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: you he can make it better than it is.

644
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 6: He can make it a little better but getting people

645
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 6: fired up.

646
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: But he's gotta try. He's gotta try.

647
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 4: He has to try.

648
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: If he doesn't try, then he should have just left.

649
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 2: He has to try, because if you don't, I mean,

650
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: just look at what all these other programs are doing.

651
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: Mike Gundhy stunk it up in Oklahoma State. He's doing

652
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: stuff to try. The worst is if you do nothing.

653
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 2: Because I can tell you this, if he does nothing, Ryan,

654
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: we know what the reaction will be going into the season.

655
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, And like I said, there are a lot of

656
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 7: fans who are really down on the program right now

657
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 7: for what's happened in the last ye years. If they didn't

658
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 7: beat Louisville two seasons to go at the end of

659
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 7: the year, we'd have two bad seasons in a roll.

660
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 4: The per if they.

661
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: Didn't beat Louisville two seasons ago, he wouldn't be the coaching.

662
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: I think there may be some truth to that.

663
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 2: Because I think if he had gone back to back

664
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: years without making a bawl yep, that would have been

665
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: a different situation. Who's up next? Go to Otis, Otis

666
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 2: Go ahead otis.

667
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 5: Morn and gentlemen, happy holidays to you all. Lord wasn't

668
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 5: great to help, But I want to say this all

669
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 5: the stoop bashing, Yeah last year and go perfect for it.

670
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 5: And you know we had higher expectation. Yeah, they killed

671
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 5: the transfer of porter and they came up short. But

672
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 5: I'm a stup loyal, I'm ryan with Stoup. He gonna

673
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 5: get this thing right. Yeah, last year didn't go according

674
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 5: to plan. But you know what, sometimes Lord gave you

675
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 5: some things that you need to see. And he opened

676
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 5: his eyes and told him that he maybe got too

677
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 5: high on the horse and lost his way and got

678
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 5: away from what made Kentucky Grayton. That was that big

679
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 5: boo wall. And you know they went out and got

680
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 5: a skilled players. But then don't translate if you're not

681
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 5: winning in the trenches. So that front that deepen the

682
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 5: line of the front line are the paaramount. So I

683
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 5: believe these guys are gonna get it together. I believe

684
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 5: last year was a gift of gifting the curse of Soups.

685
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 5: It's gonna work. It's gonna work out well for him.

686
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 5: He's refocused. He rein a jazz. You got to ride

687
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 5: with him. Stay loyal, stay down for the calls. Don't

688
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 5: drop y'all head, keep your head up, Thank you.

689
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 2: Thank you. There you go. That dude talks faster than

690
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: anyone on the planet.

691
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 4: He definitely gets a lot in and a short amount.

692
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: He does sort of understand, though, Shannon, that I will

693
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: stop you at some point, and he doesn't take a

694
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: breath for a minute.

695
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: In ks R history that you've never cut off.

696
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: You can't. You can't cut him off. How are you

697
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: gonna cut him off? What are you gonna do? I mean,

698
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: I feel like if I hit the button and turn him,

699
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: he just keep talking. It's like trying to jump on

700
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 2: a moving treadmill. He's going You can't. There's not gonna

701
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: be anything you can do. Shandon, and I have a

702
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: question for you. Okay, have you been following this thing

703
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 2: about Travis Hunter and his fiance?

704
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 3: Have you been following this at allship?

705
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: All right, So Travis Hunter is we won the Heisman

706
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: and his fiance has made a lot of news. Let's

707
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 2: go back after a game a few weeks ago. His

708
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: fiance was on the field and it looked like that

709
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 2: she got mad at him for talking to female fans

710
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 2: after the game. Is that right? She said something to

711
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 2: him like, don't you be talking to other girls? And

712
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 2: he was just in his uniform, like giving people high fives.

713
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: Then at the Heisman Trophy ceremony when he won, Dion

714
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: stands up Travis Hunters, somebody else stands up, and she

715
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: stays seated, and Dion looks at her and goes stand up,

716
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: And so people didn't like that. And then she did

717
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: an eight and a half minute video where she addressed

718
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 2: her critics that included at some point saying something like

719
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: we have a great relationship. I go to party with

720
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 2: my girls sometimes and I'll go inside and party and

721
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 2: he'll wait out on the steps until I'm gone and

722
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 2: then wait for me to walk me home, which made

723
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 2: him not look the best, like he just sits outside

724
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 2: while she goes and parties. You've seen it, Drew. What

725
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: do you think about Do you think there's too much

726
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter's fiance? Do you worry about him at all?

727
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 6: I don't worry about him, and I did see this

728
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 6: video is everywhere.

729
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 2: Her explanation. Her explanation is eight and a half minutes long.

730
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 6: I know I just as says a man who's about

731
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 6: to turn forty I could not bring myself to give

732
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 6: eight minutes of my life.

733
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 2: I didn't watch it either, but I saw that.

734
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 6: I've seen a lot of the news, things like he

735
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 6: doesn't take photos with female fans.

736
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 2: She says he's not allowed to take photos with female

737
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 2: fans unless she's there.

738
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 6: You got to understand Travis Hunter is going to be

739
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 6: asked for photos anywhere he goes for a long time.

740
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 6: That is a guy who's only getting more and more popular.

741
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 6: If you can't handle him just leaning in for his

742
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 6: selfie as he's walking through a hotel, it's gonna be long.

743
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: He's gonna be a top five pick in the NFL draft, shan,

744
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: and he's gonna be an NFL player. If you were him,

745
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 2: would you be cool with the you can't take pictures

746
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 2: with women unless I'm there?

747
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 3: No, I would have already broken up with her. He

748
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 3: can have probably just about any woman he wants, especially

749
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 3: when he gets to the NFL. Why is he hanging

750
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 3: around with her? But why is he sitting on the

751
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 3: front porch like a bomb?

752
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 4: Why wasn't he in there with a party?

753
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 2: I know he doesn't even get to go in the party, right,

754
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 2: he has to sit outside on the steps while she

755
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 2: goes and parties. He just has to sit there. He's

756
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: not even allowed to go in.

757
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,959
Speaker 7: I'm feeling very old at this point because I didn't

758
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 7: know anything about this story. I will not watch that video.

759
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 7: That guy better grow better, wake up. It ain't gonna

760
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 7: get any better. I just say that it will not

761
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 7: get better, It will only get worse.

762
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 4: He should step away now.

763
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,880

00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: of food, but you could buy You could probably buy

792

Speaker 2: the whole restaurant of meal if you wanted to do

793
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: that during this By the way, there's a great article

794
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 2: on KSR Kentucky Sports Radio dot com. Tyler Thompson did

795
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 2: a profile of Jackson Robinson, talked to his mother, talked

796
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: to Mark Pope, and in the profile ride he says

797
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: Mark Pope says that Jackson Robinson to be Why You

798
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 2: kind of a broken kid because he hadn't had success

799
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 2: at his first stop.

800
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 6: Was that something happened at Arkansas and Markleman he won't

801
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 6: even talk about it, but that was not a good

802
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 6: year forgot.

803
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 2: Seems like Musselman might have been a tough dude to

804
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 2: get along with. He's not the only kid, but that

805
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 2: somehow Musselman and he didn't work out that when he

806
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: came to be Why You had lost all his confidence

807
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: and he was like, now this kid you see today

808
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 2: is a completely different kid than you saw, and how

809
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 2: proud of him he was. It's a really good profile

810
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: of one of Kentucky's couple best players.

811
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 7: You can see the confidence growing already this season. You know,

812
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,240
Speaker 7: ten eleven games. End of the season, you see he's.

813
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 4: A better player.

814
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 7: And I think when they put him at the point guard,

815
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 7: the light bulb went on or something and we had

816
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 7: to kind of fill in out there at Gonzaga, but

817
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 7: he seemed to just be more confident with everything he's

818
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 7: been doing.

819
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 2: There's also a great clip which I encourage you to watch.

820
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 2: Mark Pope was on the Jim Rome Show. I always

821
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 2: like when that happened, so that I can remember that

822
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 2: Jim Rome is on the air, because I always forget

823
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 2: because I really liked Jim Rome when I was a kid,

824
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 2: and I never see him anymore. But he was on

825
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 2: the Gym Show and in it he said, and this

826
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 2: was really cool. He said, this is what I like

827
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 2: about Mark Drew. He embraces our weirdness about our fans.

828
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: So in the clip, you know on social media. I'll

829
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 2: set this up for you, Mario. Here is Mark Pope's clip.

830
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 2: Right there. You go. Now that's what we do for

831
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 2: social media. In the clip, though, he says that the

832
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 2: players at Kentucky kind of get an introduction to BBN

833
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 2: through the recruiting process. As soon as their name gets mentioned,

834
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 2: they get flooded with Kentucky fans online and that gives

835
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 2: them one hit. And then he said for the players

836
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: last year, when they would fly in here for their visit,

837
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,959
Speaker 2: they would get off the plane and people would say, hey,

838
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 2: Jackson Robinson's on the plane, and the player would say

839
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 2: that on the plane, the fans would talk to him

840
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 2: and say you're coming to Kentucky, right, and then you

841
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 2: would get big blue madness. And he said they slowly

842
00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: understand Kentucky basketball through the course of the recruiting process

843
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: and they feel what it's like. I thought that was

844
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: a really cool thing for Mark to say.

845
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, he mentioned, it's just an onslaught the moment they're

846
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 6: announced is visiting or even on the radar, they're filling

847
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 6: it before they even get to the airport to get

848
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 6: on the plane. And then of course UK fans are

849
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 6: everywhere rocking their gear and can spot any of these

850
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 6: guys in a crowd. So we all know it. But

851
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 6: it's good to hear a coach embracing it and telling

852
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 6: us that the players enjoy it. We're not weirding them

853
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 6: out a little bit.

854
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gotta be wild. Like say you're Annsley Almanor

855
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 2: and you went to fairly Dickinson, where even in the

856
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 2: town where you go and at the campus where you are,

857
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 2: no one knows who you are, right, And then all

858
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 2: of a sudden, overnight you get this offer from Kentucky

859
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: and this entire state of people know you and your

860
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 2: mentions are flooded, and your social media following doubles. That's

861
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 2: gotta be a crazy thing for these kids. It's one

862
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 2: thing for the kids that are stars out of high

863
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: school and that slowly get used to it, but for

864
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 2: a kid from Fairly Dickinson or Dayton, we're just overnight

865
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 2: it changes. That's gotta be insane.

866
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 7: And Pope was talking about Angley Almanor one time about

867
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 7: that exact same thing, and like he understood he was

868
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 7: coming here as a backup, but he wanted this to

869
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 7: be a part of that.

870
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 4: Phenomenon of Big Blue Nation.

871
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 7: He wanted to feel that and be a part of it,

872
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 7: even though knowing coming in he was gonna be a backup.

873
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 6: I think about when Pope was building the roster when

874
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 6: he first got here, and you know, I'm guilty of

875
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 6: it too. I was writing some of the stories, but

876
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 6: we were just stalking. I mean, they're seeing the malons

877
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 6: and people are tweeting about it. But the one that

878
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 6: stood out was Colin Chandler coming down that escalator at

879
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 6: midnight and there's twenty people down there and a greet him.

880
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 2: That is insane. I mean there were people, Yeah, we

881
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 2: were greeting them at the airport at midnight on a Tuesday.

882
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 6: He had two years off from basketball to go on

883
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 6: his mission. And the next thing you know, he's coming

884
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 6: down the escalator to posters.

885
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: And my man was on his mission. He was out

886
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 2: there knocking on doors going hello, my name is Elder Chandler.

887
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 2: Can I please give you teach you about the Church

888
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 2: of Latter Day Saints. And then all of a sudden

889
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 2: there's people at the airport saying, come to Kentucky. That's

890
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: got because he had just gotten off his mission, right.

891
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 6: I think he had gone maybe home for a little while,

892
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 6: but it was still had been very new and overwhelming

893
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 6: to him and all of them. Really, I mean, we

894
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 6: are crazy. It's good to hear that they like it.

895
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 2: No, I mean we are insane, but it's in a

896
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 2: good it's in a good way, all right. So when

897
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 2: we come back. I got a couple of things. One

898
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 2: about the playoff. There's one school that's not even going

899
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 2: to sell out their game. That's crazy and that's going

900
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 2: to be an embarrassment, I think for their program. And

901
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 2: somebody just logged a prediction for dang Key
