Speaker 2: excited to be on the road.

44
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: First of all, the season flew by. I can't believe

45
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: it's already March madness in time for the postseason by.

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: I go back to there's so much optimism and excitement

47
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: about this year compared to where we were this time

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: last year.

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 4: It's a different look.

50
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: We were going through the brackets and I'm thinking last

51
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: year I didn't think Kentucky would have.

52
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 4: Much of a chance.

53
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: But this year, there's so much excitement going into the tournament.

54
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 3: This year, everybody's got that optimism.

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 5: I remember thinking they're gonna make it run. Last year,

56
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 5: I think I even picked them to win it. But

57
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 5: then I remember Nashville that night after the loss. It

58
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 5: was just utter shock and I remember a lot of

59
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 5: people saying, I'm not doing this again. I cannot come back.

60
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: That was the maddest in person crowd I ever remember

61
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: in a UK basketball game. I don't think I've ever

62
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: seen a crowd. And it was bad the next week

63
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh too, but it was worse here. Yes, I

64
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 2: think the fact that like everybody was here and it

65
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: was at night and everybody been drinking, and like when

66
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: we lost to Texas and him, because that game was

67
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 2: like never closed, like we were down most of the game,

68
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 2: the crowd was just they were just done, and it

69
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: was almost like that was a moment where you go, Okay,

70
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: well this isn't gonna work. Take that to this year,

71
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: where I think we're gonna have Shannon one of the

72
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: best crowds we've ever had in Nashville. It reminds me

73
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: of in twenty ten on Cow's first year, how like

74
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: everybody just seemed to want to be there for that tournament.

75
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: We're not necessarily as good as we were that year,

76
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: but I do think you're gonna have a similar crowd

77
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: in nash year.

78
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 6: I'm looking for Nashville to just be craz Yeah. I

79
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 6: think that the level of excitement is probably going to

80
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 6: be at a level that it hasn't been since COVID,

81
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 6: maybe since twenty nine.

82
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: This is gonna be the best tournament for the SEC.

83
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: For Kentucky fans, now, we need to win games, but

84
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: for fans that probably you've had since COVID.

85
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 6: You know, just just went one game first of all right,

86
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 6: let's just go day to day. When that first game,

87
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 6: if you do, it'd be the first win since twenty

88
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 6: twenty two, which I can't even believe.

89
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: That's a freazing thing, pretty amazing.

90
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: So all right, let me give you. Let me give

91
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: you some facts here that I thought of last night.

92
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: So for this is, if not my favorite week of

93
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: the year, it's one of my favorite weeks, and it

94
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: goes back my entire life. The SEC tournament has been

95
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: one of my favorite things to do. So I want

96
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 2: to give you some numbers that I just realized my grandfather.

97
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: I started going to the SEC tournament because my grandfather

98
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: and his best friends would go. The first SEC tournament

99
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: they went to was nineteen eighty five, which is forty

100
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: years ago this weekend. I think one of the last

101
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: members of that group passed away in the last year

102
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 2: and they went forty years ago as their anniversary. I

103
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: went and counted up. This is my thirtieth WOW SEC tournament,

104
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: so their fortieth, my thirtieth. We started KSR the website

105
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: twenty years ago. This year we start to KSR the

106
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: radio show fifteen years ago. This year the twenty fifteen team.

107
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: This will be the one basketball part my opinion, maybe

108
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: the best team of my lifetime ten years ago. And

109
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: then it was here today, five years ago that the

110
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: SEC tournament and NCAA tournament were canceled. Five years ago

111
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: to this day, So a lot of anniversaries for me

112
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: personally this year fortieth that this became something in our

113
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: family's lives. Thirtieth tournament for me, So Ran, I'm very

114
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: excited about this.

115
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: You know, just you mentioned what happened here five years

116
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: ago on this day just kind of blows my mind.

117
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: Because it was today, five years ago they canceled the tournament. Today,

118
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: yesterday was the anniversary of all the you know, stuff

119
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: happened in the night before, but the official we were

120
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: sitting in a conference room five years ago today with

121
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: the athletic directors meeting in the room next to us,

122
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: deciding what they were gonna do. And then while we

123
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: were on the air, if you remember, Ryan, they canceled

124
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: the tournament.

125
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 3: Didn't Shanny go still a big bottle of handsands just.

126
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 4: Trying to protect you guys. I mean, I didn't know

127
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 4: what was going on.

128
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: We were a lot more than that. We always talk

129
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: about that. There was a lot more crazy stuff than that.

130
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: I mean the athletic directors were meeting next door. Mitch

131
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: Barnhart was outside trying to figure out how to get

132
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: the UK softball team home from Florida. They were stuck

133
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: in Florida with no flights and he didn't know exactly

134
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 2: how to get him back. They were trying to decide

135
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: what they were gonna do with all, with everything. You

136
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: remember the governor called in. That was when he kind

137
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: of wanted to give a message to the state of Hey,

138
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: this is serious. I mean, it was just a whole thing.

139
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: And now five years later, Drew, I do think this

140
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: is the most excited this fan base has been for

141
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: an SEC tournament probably since then.

142
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, unfortunately it has not been good since then. Shannon

143
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 5: mentions the one win. We haven't even won a game

144
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 5: in Nashville since before COVID. We beat a ten seed Alabama.

145
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 5: That was our last win in Bridgestone Arena. So Kentucky's

146
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 5: do and even though you're a six seed and really

147
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 5: not expected to make much of a run. I agree

148
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 5: that there Big Blue is gonna be everywhere on Broadway

149
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 5: just to be a part of what might happen.

150
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: So I think it is gonna be a pretty a

151
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: pretty great week. Now. Kentucky, of course plays tomorrow night

152
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: at nine thirty. I still will use the Eastern times,

153
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: even though we're gonna be in the Central time zone.

154
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: But you know, tournament stars, Cal Perry's playing in the

155
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: first game today here at one o'clock against South Carolina.

156
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: You know, I was on a podcast with like these

157
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: guys in Boston, it's like gambling podcast a couple days ago,

158
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: and they asked me the question, is it harder to

159
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: win this year the SEC Tournament or the NCAA Tournament?

160
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: And that may seem like a stupid question in a

161
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: lot of years, but I don't know. I mean, I

162
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: don't know if it's a stupid question. I was sitting

163
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: here and looking at it, and I was thinking, Okay,

164
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: let's just say you're Kentucky, all right. Here are the

165
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: four games you would have to win to win the

166
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: SEC Tournament. Beat a Georgia team that's gonna be in

167
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: the NCAA Tournament, beat Alabama, beat Florida, beat off. There's

168
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: a decent chance that when you look at a team

169
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen to national title game path, they won't play

170
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: a harder group than that. There's a decent. You know,

171
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: there's a decent argument that that is the case. And

172
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: even if you were Alabama you get a double bye.

173
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: What if I told you to win the title with

174
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: the double bye, you had to beat Kentucky, Florida, and Opera.

175
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: That's a pretty hard run. Whoever wins this, I do

176
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: think will have the equivalent of an elite eight to

177
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: title run just to win the SEC tournament.

178
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: This may be the only year it ever happens, but

179
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: it's definitely true. This year the SEC Tournament is harder.

180
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 3: You mentioned Kentucky's path. Those are three teams that were

181
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 3: potential number one seeds for most of the year in Auburn,

182
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: Florida and Alabama that would run would never happen in

183
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: the NCAA tournament.

184
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 4: Have to go through there to get to the championship.

185
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 5: And if you just look at the odds, Kentucky's eight

186
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 5: to one to make the final four in nineteen to

187
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 5: one to.

188
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: Win the SECS. So is that right?

189
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 5: I mean almost more than double you know the probability there.

190
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: It just shows you how razy with gallant they have

191
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 2: in front of them.

192
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 5: There's a lot of debating on which would you rather do.

193
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 5: I'm go back and forth on win go to the

194
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 5: final four. But I mean a winning the SEC championship

195
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 5: this year, whatever you think of how much it means

196
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 5: in the big picture, that is a huge accomplishment.

197
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 2: I think it's I do think it's a big deal.

198
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 2: I mean it's interesting the younger coaches in the league,

199
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: or at least the coaches that are on I heard.

200
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: I saw Mark Pope, Bruce Pearl, Nate Oates, and Todd

201
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: Golden all say in the last two days winning this

202
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 2: SEC tournament is a huge deal for us. There's another

203
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: coach on the other side who took the opposite view,

204
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: But I do think this will be you know, look,

205
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: only one team's gonna win the national championship, So if

206
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: you're not gonna do that, you might. I mean, this

207
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: is like this. Auburn won it last year's first time

208
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: they ever won it, the first time they won since

209
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: like the eighties. They were into it. I think that

210
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: we should be too.

211
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 6: No matter what path you end up getting in the

212
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 6: NCAA tournament, I think you've already and I made this

213
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 6: point last week, I don't think that you're gonna be

214
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 6: playing any tougher teams than what you've already played in

215
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 6: the SEC, so I think at this point you're not

216
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 6: afraid of anybody, regardless of what your situation is.

217
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: So we also have some other things on the line here.

218
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: First of all, Shannon the dude has been credential for

219
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: the first time ever at the SEC. You're gonna walk

220
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: in now listen, if you'all gonna sit here, then you

221
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: have to clap claps and get a free show and

222
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 2: watch like it's a movie. I've been participate.

223
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 4: I've been denied for ten straight years. Give it up

224
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 4: for my credential.

225
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, seriously, I mean you're so like you're gonna walk

226
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 2: in here this afternoon. Yeah, I mean, this is like

227
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: gonna be your Your eye is gonna be big. They

228
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: finally they've turned you down ten straight years and then

229
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: decided that this year you were good.

230
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 6: I expect to be sitting right next to Jay Billis.

231
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 6: I want a headset so I can chime in on

232
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 6: the broadcast.

233
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: I want to make you need to get on cameraight now. Mario,

234
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: first time he's ever applied, actually got credential. He got

235
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: in one, so this will be his first time to

236
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: so kind of a new era. Ryan of them credentialing

237
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: the new guard.

238
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: I just want to see Shannon's credential because he apparently

239
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: he submitted a headshot of him wearing his gold ov

240
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: W jacket.

241
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: That's gonna be credentials so the SEC tournament for me

242
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: that don't know. They denied his head shot because he's

243
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: sending in an OVW picture.

244
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 4: No no, no, no no.

245
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 6: I sent in a picture of KSR with a headset on,

246
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 6: and they said we need another headshot, so I sent

247
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 6: them the OVW picture with the gold jackets.

248
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 4: So we'll see if that one maybe gets approved.

249
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: I kind of doubt it will. I think you're gonna

250
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: you're probably gonna have to take one.

251
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 6: Not gonna look like the Facebook profile before you add

252
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 6: your profile.

253
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 4: It's just like the outline of somebody's head.

254
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 6: It's gonna look like, uh but but who do you

255
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 6: think got bumped? You know, if they approved me, is

256
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 6: somebody had to get bumped?

257
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: Question? I know, I understand how you didn't get in

258
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: because they everyone else on earth was. It seemed to

259
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: allowed him.

260
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 4: I mean, they were letting people off the streets. You

261
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 4: let me.

262
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: I got credential for the SEC tournament before even UK

263
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 2: would credential me for the games like it was. It

264
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: was easier.

265
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 6: So what they always told me was you don't go

266
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 6: to enough home games. But then there are other people

267
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 6: like I don't know you like what the.

268
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 2: Only game I went to was the Archita game this year,

269
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 2: so exactly. Well, but so that'll be fun. Now tomorrow

270
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: we will do our show at ten roof. It is

271
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: nine o'clock Central. Shannon's pre show will be at eight

272
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,599
Speaker 2: o'clock Central. There will open I think they're opening the

273
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: doors at seven. Is that right? Seven o'clock. They're gonna

274
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: open it at seven, So we hope to see you

275
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: all at ten roof. It should be the start of

276
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: a long, fun day in Nashville where I think Blue

277
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: will be, uh will be everywhere.

278
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 5: That's my favorite show of the year with KSR. This

279
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 5: is my favorite week of the year with Kentucky basketball.

280
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 5: I'm just hoping we make it a little longer into

281
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 5: the weekend because it's it's been a real gut punch

282
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 5: the last couple of years, getting so excited to only

283
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 5: turn around and come straight back home.

284
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, So so that that's gonna be our our thing

285
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: for the week. I do want to before we go

286
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: to break here because I want this to be a fun,

287
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: exciting show. But I do think we need to note

288
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: the passing of Louisville's Junior Bridgeman before we go to break.

289
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: For people who don't know, Junior Bridgeman's one of the

290
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: more amazing stories really ever in sports, and he went

291
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: to University of Louisville, one of their best players of

292
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 2: all time, was really on their first really great team

293
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: in the seventies, played in the NBA for ten years,

294
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: eight years from Milwaukee Bucks. Back then, his average salary

295
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: was two hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. He became

296
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: literally a billionaire after playing basketball. He owned something like

297
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: five hundred windys we were reading today. He owned one

298
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five chilis. He owned like he basically

299
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: started a restaurant conglomerate. But more importantly, he was like

300
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: the beacon of the city of Louisville. He helped the city.

301
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: He was a big part of the Muhammad Ali Center

302
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: coming in. In many ways, he was the soul of

303
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: Louisville basketball as a program, as a player, as a

304
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: member of the board, as a donor, but also as

305
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: an amazing success story. I saw Charles Barkley last night say,

306
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: one time I looked at the who are the richest

307
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: basketball players of all time? And it was Michael Jordan,

308
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 2: Magic Johnson, and Junior Bridgeman, And I didn't even know

309
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: who Junior Bridgeman was. Well, that's a testament to his success,

310
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: but it's also a testament he was a pillar of

311
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: the Louisville community, like gave back for generations, and he

312
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: passed away yesterday. Louisville is our rival, but also as

313
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: a human being and a member of this you know,

314
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: a citizen of the state of Kentucky, Junior Bridgeman is

315
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: what you would hope your child becomes. He's a really

316
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: a great American success story who never forgot where he's from,

317
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: who always gave back, and who everyone around him said

318
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: was a very humble successful man. So I want to

319
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: pass on my prayers to the Junior Bridgeman family, and

320
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: I hope all Kentucky fans will do the same. I mean,

321
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: it's almost as if the he's almost the equivalent of

322
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: if you know, Dan Issel and Joe Kraft were the

323
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: same part, and that's kind of what it is for Louisville.

324
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: So God bless him and his family, and I know

325
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: you guys join me in saying we wish them nothing

326
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: but the best.

327
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I regret I never got to meet him, because

328
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: all you hear is nothing but fantastic things about that

329
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: man went from nothing to a billionaire, and it just

330
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: what a great ambassador for the university and for the city.

331
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: And a lot of people I'm really close to. We're

332
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: very good friends with him, Craig Greenberg, mayor Louisville. Larry Bench,

333
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: who it's one of our owners of O BW. Parron

334
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: is very close with him as well that you've heard

335
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: on this show. So prayers out to Junior Bridgeman and

336
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: everybody who's a Louisville basketball fan on his passing. We're

Speaker 2: some of some of our texters seven seven two seven

348
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,240

Speaker 2: to start. Can I read you the first two textas

350
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,320

Speaker 2: excited he let me let me read you the first

352
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: two texts I saw. One's from a guy named JR. Matt.

353
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: I can't get excited about the SEC Tournament. I can't

354
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: see the Cats winning any game. Cal messed it up

355
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: for me. Here's hoping I'm wrong? Shut up, JR? What

356
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: do you mean Cow's gone on another team? Like? What

357
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: do you mean? Can't? And then this one? This wee

358
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: you want to talk about a Debbie downer, Shannon Matt.

359
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,479
Speaker 2: Let's play pray there's not a repeat of the tornado

360
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: game during the tournament in two thousand and eight. I

361
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: always worry about the weather.

362
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 4: What does that have to do with it? The weather's

363
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 4: gonna be perfect down there.

364
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: How many times do you think the how many times

365
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: do you think a tornado is gonna hit the SEC Tournament?

366
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: It happened once in history, and how does.

367
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 4: That thought even come to your mind?

368
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 2: Do you really go outside of your house and go, well,

369
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: it doesn't have a tornado today the day you we're

370
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: at the n SCC. I mean, those are the two

371
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: most DeBie Downer quotes I've ever heard. So I need

372
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: the text machine to have some uplift seven seven four

373
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: five two five four.

374
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 5: I don't want to back that texture. But Saturday's weather

375
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 5: is supposed to be terrib Okay.

376
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: Why did you say? Why are you backing the text?

377
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 5: I'm not saying we're gonna recreate Georgia back, no, no,

378
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 5: but what the weather is supposed to be horrible on

379
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 5: Saturday for the day we all want to be on buss.

380
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: You want to note? Is it supposed to be I'm

381
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: still excited you have to turn on me. I'm just

382
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: noting the weather.

383
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 5: On Saturday is supposed to be war I'm not saying

384
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 5: it's the Georgia Dome all over again.

385
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: Exactly right. Let's see if we win on Thursday before

386
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: we start worrying about the weather on Saturday.

387
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: I can say I hope we're they're playing still playing

388
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: on Saturday.

389
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 4: That'd be a good good achievement for me. In my book.

390
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 2: Maybe it was Drew that text.

391
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 6: It's gonna be a great week, all right, everybody be positive,

392
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 6: it's gonna.

393
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 5: Be I'm excited, but I can note that the weather's bad,

394
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 5: and everybody calm down.

395
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: I looked at the forecast man on Saturday, all right.

396
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: Beyond yes, last night the tournament added u NC Wilmington

397
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: Robert Morris. Yes, Bobby ended up making Bobby mo our

398
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 2: first round game. That would be kind of interesting. Saint

399
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 2: Francis of Pennsylvania, which you probably didn't even know was

400
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: a school. And then Gonzaga won in what I thought

401
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: was the worst basketball game I've ever seen in my life.

402
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: Final score fifty four to forty nine, and Gonzaga and

403
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: Saint Mary's combined Ryan to go one for twenty nine

404
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: from three point land. It's the worst shooting three point

405
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: game in the history of any conference tournament in college basketball.

406
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: I actually tried to watch them, and they're both NCAA

407
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: Tournament teams that played in it.

408
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 3: I watched it, and I saw Gonzaga was ahead like

409
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 3: my five. I thought that'd be gonna be a good

410
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: win for them, and then I just could not watch

411
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: it anymore.

412
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 4: It was awful.

413
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: It was. Honestly, we talk about how exciting and good

414
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: these see games have been this year, think of the

415
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 2: exact opposite. It was the worst basketball game I've ever seen.

416
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: And those are two good teams in theory.

417
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 5: I had it on kind of a background noise as

418
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 5: I was packing, but I would look up and even

419
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 5: the announcers were kind of talking about what a horrible

420
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 5: product it was for two teams. That and also this

421
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 5: time you hear those teams usually put on an entertaining

422
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 5: game in that conference. That was not much fun to

423
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 5: watch last night.

424
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 6: You could take the five of us, we could go

425
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 6: one for twenty nine. I am confident we could get

426
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 6: one out of twenty nine.

427
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 2: One out of twenty nine. Who do you think Ryan

428
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: is the most important player for Kentucky to succeed over

429
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: the next few days.

430
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 3: Well, I think we've seen Otega kind of take over.

431
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: He's got to be that guy. Without Jackson Robinson, you

432
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: need somebody who can go depend on the it's gonna

433
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 3: go get you sixteen, eighteen to twenty points a game.

434
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: I think, so Otega is that guy. He's got to

435
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 3: do that.

436
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: It's a boy, answer Drew, But I know it's probably

437
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 2: one you agree with. A lot of Kentucky's success this

438
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: year has been does Kobe Bray hit shot? And Kobe

439
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: Bray hit shots, We're good. If he doesn't hit shots,

440
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: we're usually not.

441
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 5: You'll have to have both of them. But I'm not

442
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 5: going with either one of those for my answer. I mean,

443
00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 5: I'm going Lamont Butler.

444
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: There's a chick. It's in your first game.

445
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 5: You got Oklahoma with Fears in the back court, who

446
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 5: carved up down there. Even though he still won that game,

447
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 5: you could advance have Mark Sears again, I know we're

448
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 5: gonna need defense there, so I think they're gonna make

449
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 5: a run. Butler's defense on some of the best guards

450
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 5: in the conference will be the difference maker.

451
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 2: I actually like that that call because with Fears and

452
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 2: Seers back to back, you know, we did not have

453
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: Butler when we played Seers last We did have him,

454
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: but only like fourteen minutes when we played against Fears,

455
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 2: So I actually think that's.

456
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 5: A pretty Walter Clayton after that, if you beat Alabama,

457
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 5: it's a long run of great point guards.

458
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 4: In the one out.

459
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 6: Throwing up Mary Williams as well, who I think has

460
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 6: been very impressive in the second half of the season.

461
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 6: So if he's able to have a good game, I

462
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 6: think Kentucky has a chance to roll it.

463
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: They just picked every starter except the dude who's played

464
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: the best last two games, Andrew Carry. I mean, he's

465
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: been probably our best player in these last two games.

466
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 3: And if if they end up playing Alabama, he's gonna be.

467
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 4: Key because he got rocked. Yes, he wasn't.

468
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: Roy and got rocked. He's got to show up and

469
00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 3: play good.

470
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 2: And that he got rocked first time, and then he

471
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: was barely moving in the second one. So it'd be

472
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 2: interesting to see how he does when he's at full speed.

473
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: Because that you go watch that first game, we actually

474
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: outplayed them. It's just Grant Nelson had a crazy game

475
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 2: twenty four and eleven. If I'm not mistaken, that's exactly right.

476
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: Who's up first, John, Joseph, Joseph, go ahead, Joseph.

477
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 7: I ain't made a ben sense football suits that I

478
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 7: talked to you, but anyway, I just want to ask you.

479
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 8: How do you think we'll do a naught?

480
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 7: You think we win two three games there at How

481
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 7: do you think we're doing.

482
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 2: The n C A turkey? All right? Thank you, Joseph, Well,

483
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 2: I'll say the same thing that I said when the

484
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: show started, which is I think Kentucky. Listen, they could

485
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 2: lose this first game. They could make it to the finals.

486
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you play Oklahoma or Georgia. We lost to Georgia.

487
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 2: We beat Oklahoma by one point. We play Alabama, I

488
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 2: think we can win. We play Florida, We've already beaten them.

489
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: Auburn be tougher, but who knows they could even lose.

490
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: I mean, but so like, I have no idea. This

491
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: is the first SEC tournament ever that I would say

492
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 2: you could win any of the four games. You can

493
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 2: lose any of them.

494
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 6: I feel very confident winning Thursday. Keep in mind you

495
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 6: because you play Georgia and Oklahoma on the road, and

496
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 6: this game tomorrow is going to be basically a home game,

497
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 6: though it's that's what I'm saying.

498
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: It will be a home game. The good thing is

499
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: you look at the bracket. Let's just see what the

500
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 2: bracket would be tomorrow night. Mississippi State, Missouri. Let's say

501
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 2: Georgia or Oklahoma, Kentucky. Those teams don't bring fan bases,

502
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 2: so that that arena tomorrow night is gonna be eighty

503
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 2: to ninety percent Kentucky fans, if not more, because those

504
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: teams don't bring fan bases. So it's gonna be wild

505
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: in there.

506
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 3: And be a home field court, Adventage and.

507
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 2: Be a home field court. Evan, it's gonna be a

508
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: home We'll take a break right back to Kentucky sports radio.

509
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: People are riding in with their own reasons to be

510
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: excited or having a hard time being excited about the tournament. Yeah,

511
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 2: one person writes, Matt, I can't get excited about the

512
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 2: SEC tournament. The Greek island of Santorini had an earthquake.

513
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: I can't watch the game. I'm sorry about that wish

514
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 2: for those people. But yes, Santorini's of like very luxurious island.

515
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 2: You know, it's like it's where all the people go

516
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: on their honeymoons, you know, like they have the is

517
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: that the one that has the blue the blue house, right,

518
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 2: bluish blue and white. Yeah, it's like a very it's

519
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: like an Instagram place.

520
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 3: You should go there, right, So what the next location

521
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 3: for white Lotus?

522
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 4: Maybe something like that.

523
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably a little too like it's probably a

524
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: little too touristy, like they tried to go somewhere a

525
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: little off the beaten path.

526
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 6: But yeah, does it cost more than Nashville, because Nashville

527
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 6: is absolutely probably, although it's not that I'm out, I

528
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 6: can't afford.

529
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: It to Yeah, probably a little bit if I'm nine

530
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. One person writes, Matt,

531
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 2: you you said that game last night was awful, and

532
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: it will. But Saint Francis beat Central Connecticut State forty

533
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 2: six forty three in that Championship of the tournament. Those

534
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 2: are two really bad games for championship week.

535
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 5: Otherwise, March has been pretty exciting. Those two were a

536
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 5: couple of duds, but I've enjoyed watching some of the

537
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 5: conference tournaments in the lead up to this. Before we

538
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 5: get dialed in on the main one, another.

539
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 2: Person writes, Matt, let's all say a prayer. Excuse me.

540
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: One person rights, let's say a prayer for Matt. He

541
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,239
Speaker 2: thinks seven o'clock is early. Most of us are already up.

542
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: Then you think most people are already up at seven?

543
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 4: Probably so anybody's got a job.

544
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 3: Parents that have kids, getting people have kids.

545
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well no, not everybody that has a job gets

546
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 2: up at seven.

547
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 6: No, those who work on like third shift, don't get

548
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 6: up at seven. They're going to bed at seven. Everybody

549
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 6: else goes.

550
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: I work at nine. Who might sleep till seven? I

551
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: grant you, I sleep later, but I stay up later

552
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: than people. Ryan, I don't go to bed till like

553
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: one dude.

554
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 4: And still we've talked about this before.

555
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 3: You don't send an alarm clock, but somehow you wake

556
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 3: up every day that the right time for you to

557
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 3: GI go to the radio show.

558
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: Uh, there's a story that Drew I knew Ryan would like,

559
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 2: which I thought I had to bring up. This is

560
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 2: one of those maybe we ought to mute as microphone,

561
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 2: but nevertheless is especially there are new Major League Baseball hats.

562
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 2: So have you seen these hats? Yeah, so they have that.

563
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: You know you were part of the reason one team

564
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: sold out. Uh, they they're new hats. And they take

565
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: the normal team logo, but then they take the main

566
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: letter for a team for each team and just stick

567
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: them in the middle, so like it'll say like Cincinnati

568
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 2: spelled out, but then with a C right in the

569
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: middle and it covers up a few of the letters, right.

570
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 2: So they do that for every team. So for instance, Philadelphia,

571
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 2: it says like Phillies, but then has a pe right

572
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: in the middle, et cetera. Well, they made a little

573
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 2: bit of a mistake at least when uh when talking

574
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: about two teams, the Tech Texas Rangers and the Anaheigh Angels.

575
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: First of all, Anaheim it says a N and then

576
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: the G is covered up by an A and it

577
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: says E L S. You can do the spelling there,

578
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 2: but thankfully there is an E or else it would

579
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: be significantly worse. But then Texas spells out T e

580
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: X A S, but the T covers up the X,

581
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 2: and you probably think, well, that's okay, who cares. But

582
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: you might not be bilingual because if you're Spanish, if

583
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 2: you speak Spanish, T E T A S has a

584
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: meaning and I'll let you all google it. I won't

585
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: say what it is, but just google what T E

586
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: T A S is in Spanish. And because of that

587
00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: Hispanic people, they sold out within moments. You can't even

588
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 2: get one. Major League Baseball has actually now apologized and

589
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: said we didn't mean to put that on a hat

590
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 2: that will become a very expensive hat. Did they not

591
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: have one person that spoke Spanish drew on the staff,

592
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: or maybe did tatus. I think I can say that

593
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 2: it's what was on the hat. Josiah speaks Spanish, clearly,

594
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: maybe a mistake. You know.

595
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 5: Normally I say that someone should be in the room

596
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 5: just as an outsider to raise their hand. He'd be like,

597
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 5: what are we doing? We have to think about the

598
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 5: reaction to this. But this one, I think it was intentional.

599
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 5: I think they saw it and realized, oh, this is

600
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 5: gonna sell out.

601
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 2: But you know, there's a lot of people now who

602
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 2: criticize the idea of diversity in the workplace. This is

603
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: why you need it. It's for things like this. So

604
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 2: somebody could go maybe.

605
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 6: Not if you're the angels, you could have slid the

606
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 6: a over maybe one way or another. I don't know

607
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 6: if you saw the Oakland a's, but there's spells as

608
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 6: a's and then the atic the other s, the analytics.

609
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 6: So they didn't do themselves any favor either. Yeah, I'm

610
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 6: with you, like, somebody should look at that and go,

611
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 6: you should.

612
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 2: Maybe we don't put that on these.

613
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 5: When I first saw these, I just saw the graphics

614
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: on Twitter. I didn't I thought they were like photoshopped,

615
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 5: like this would be funny. Then I saw it's an

616
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 5: actual MLB dot Com get it at the MLB store.

617
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. And they could have put like

618
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: like instead of Texas Rangers. That would have worked, Yeah.

619
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 5: Because they did Angels and they did a lot of

620
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 5: the you know, the.

621
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 2: Mass Texas is right there. So now I know what

622
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 2: I'm getting Ryan for Christmas, and you and and you

623
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: would be very happy.

624
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 3: The whole point is to what sell product. They knew

625
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 3: what they were doing. The Texas and the Rangers is

626
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 3: the perfect example. They've made it that way try on purpose.

627
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 3: I think somebody figured it out, like, oh, we're going

628
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 3: to sell a lot of these, let's push it.

629
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 2: They sold them out within like five minutes. You absolutely

630
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: they were. They were gone. Who's up first, Jake and Florida?

631
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 4: Jake?

632
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 2: How are you? Jake?

633
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 8: Good morning, gentlemen.

634
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: How's it gone? Doing good?

635
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 4: So shout out to my hops, Jeff.

636
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 8: I'm finding Cincinnati and then we're just in Nashville on Friday.

637
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 8: Hopefully the Cats can make it. My buddy had a surgery,

638
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 8: so he's on some crazy drugs right now, and he

639
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 8: thinks he's a fortune teller and his prediction is that

640
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 8: Kobe Bray is gonna have a Carson Edwards experience in

641
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 8: this tournament. Wanted to know y'all thoughts on that.

642
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: Uh, I hope he plays well. I mean Kobe Brayan. Look,

643
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: he's he hit a bunch of shots against Missouri. It's

644
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: kind of been drew in these last few games. He'll

645
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: get like one half where he gets hot, you know.

646
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: Against Florida's really the only time this year he's had

647
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: two abs and he finished with seven. But he had

648
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: three threes against Missouri in the first half. Kind of

649
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: kept him going when they otherwise weren't playing great.

650
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 4: Uh.

651
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: If you told me I could get three to four

652
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 2: threes from Brey a game, I'd probably take it if

653
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 2: you gave it to me right now, because when we's

654
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: had zero or one, that's when we've lost. So I'd

655
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 2: like to see Braya. If he gets three or four game,

656
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 2: I'll take it.

657
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, throwing out Missouri because he played well there if

658
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 5: you looked at his splits. But before that game he

659
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 5: was horrible on the road and great at home. I'm

660
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 5: wondering going to Nashville, is it Rupperina specifically or having

661
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 5: home fans with him, because he could treat Nashville like

662
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 5: a home game and shoot well. But whether he shoots

663
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 5: well or not, he's also stepped up defensively, rebounding, He's

664
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 5: been driving a little more than he was before. He's

665
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 5: become a more well rounded players. The season's gone on.

666
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 2: When this crowd is good in Nashville, which it hasn't

667
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: necessarily been. It actually wasn't bad last year. We just

668
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: never were in the game. But when it's been good,

669
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: like the ten years prior to COVID, this is a

670
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,479
Speaker 2: better home court advans than rough. I've always believed that

671
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: at the SEC Tournament when it's good because it's a

672
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: loud crowd, it's people who have decided I'm going to

673
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: take the time to come down there and Ryan, Like,

674
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: I think about the twenty ten game against Tennessee the

675
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: Wall year, that's one of the loudest crowds I've ever

676
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: been to associated with the UK game, the Mississippi State

677
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: game that year where Cousins gets the put back, I

678
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: mean that was wild. I think about the anname that

679
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: one year, the Tyler Eulss year where it was in

680
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 2: that comeback. We came back in the second half, and

681
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: I don't know that I've ever been in an arena

682
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: as loud as that. When it is loud at the

683
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: SEC Tournament, it's the best of the Kentucky crowd.

684
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: You're right, The SEC Tournament crowded is just different. These

685
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: are people that often take their vacation, you know, save

686
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: up them all year for this one week. And they're starving,

687
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 3: starving to have some success and success here since they

688
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 3: haven't had a win in this town since twenty nineteen.

689
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 2: And then you throw in the game being at nine

690
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: thirty and people having a chance to party all day.

691
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: I just think it could be really rowdy in there.

692
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 6: As long as they can make it into the arena,

693
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 6: as well as they can stumble to their seat, it

694
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 6: is going to be the best atmosphere that it can

695
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 6: be down there.

696
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 2: Now. No, there's one or two people that gave and

697
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: I they may have to help me get into the

698
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 2: arena from our group, considering how late it's gonna make yourself.

699
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 2: That's right, you know who I'm talking about. He's driving

00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of a mayor cans are up before

721
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: seven am. You're the one that's ridiculous. I don't believe that.

722
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: All right, how many people in this room are up

723
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: before seven am? Raise their hand? All right, so about

724
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: half of this room, So fifty percent. I'll accept fifty percent,

725
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: not accepting ninety five percent.

726
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 6: I'ven't worked by seven am. What are you talking about?

727
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 6: You're not even waking up to listen.

728
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: I have a lot of respect for people who do it,

729
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: like people who work to night shift. People work factory jobs.

730
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: They have to get there five six am, Like, I

731
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: have a ton of respect. You guys are working harder

732
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: than I ever could. With that said, I ain't getting

733
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,479
Speaker 2: up at seven am, like I've already thought about this.

734
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: If ESPN offered me the National Morning Show, can't do it?

735
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 4: Oh come on, yeah, you will know I'm not.

736
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: Do you know what, Timmy, You've I've done that show.

737
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: You have to get up at like four thirty every morning.

738
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: I'm not adjusting my life at this point in my life.

739
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 2: I'm not getting up at four thirty more. If it

740
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: had been ten years ago, yeah maybe, But if they

741
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: would liked me enough to give me the morning show,

742
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: I'd say give me the afternoon show. I'm not getting

743
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: up before thirty in the morning.

744
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 3: I respect these people that get up at four thirty

745
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 3: and go work out for an hour or two before

746
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 3: they even go to work.

747
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 2: Who does that?

748
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 3: But I think they're a little crazy.

749
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 2: But who are those people?

750
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 4: I used to do that?

751
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: I've done them before too.

752
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. I used to get up in like five first

753
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 4: thing you do is get up in exercise. Yep.

754
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 5: I used to go that title boxing three times a week,

755
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 5: six am class.

756
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: That sounds awful.

757
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 5: One thing I noticed this morning. I I'm usually up

758
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 5: by seven, but not out of my house. On my

759
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 5: way to Marios to meet him at six thirty, I

760
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 5: saw a bunch of school buses with kids. I didn't

761
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 5: know kids run buses that early. Maybe I'm just out

762
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 5: of touch, but that's way too early for going to school.

763
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: That's part of why some people want to get rid

764
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 2: of or whatever. I can't remember which is whitch daylight

765
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 2: saving times or the other, but like it leads to

766
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 2: kids going to school in the dark. Intact, it was

767
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: pitch black outside. I didn't know it started that. The

768
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: amount of text messages that I got yesterday about Pulaski Southwest.

769
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 2: So okay, look, let me just say to that you've

770
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: people that have any connection to Pulaski Southwestern. This ain't

771
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 2: me talk, all right. I don't know you all. You've

772
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 2: probably been to our show at mister Daddy's. I'm sure

773
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: you're wonderful people. But the amount of people from all

774
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 2: over the state who have said unequivocally that the meanest

775
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: and craziest fans of Pulaski Southwestern is unbelievable to me.

776
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 2: I probably had fifty text message. Unless there's a concerted

777
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: campaign to go after Blast, unless Elon has decided to

778
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 2: go after Pulaski Southwestern, there has to be something to it.

779
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: I mean, the amount of messages I got, and then

780
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: when I put that video on Twitter last night, and

781
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: then that got a whole new round of people talking

782
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: about Southwestern. What is happening at Southwestern? That's not that

783
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: far from here?

784
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 4: What's going on?

785
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, the video didn't help their argument much, did it last?

786
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 3: But I've never heard that. But boy, we've got enough

787
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 3: messages to kind of support it that that's a kind

788
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 3: of a general consensus.

789
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 4: We need to go by there and see if these

790
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 4: people are really that mean.

791
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 6: I don't believe it. I think that we're on some

792
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 6: sort of smear campaign.

793
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: There's a soccer team in England that's like Division two

794
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 2: or three. Like they're not in the top division. They're

795
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: called Millwall, Okay, and they are basically known. Their whole

796
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 2: reason they're known is that their fans are Huligans. Like

797
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 2: that's the whole thing. Like if you say Millwall, everybody's like, yeah,

798
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 2: they're fans. Is Drew Pulaski Southwestern the mill Wall of Kentucky.

799
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 5: Based on reactions to that video, like I heard from

800
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 5: a bunch of people too, had some people from that

801
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 5: area like, please don't call it Pulaski Southwestern.

802
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 2: We don't even want Pulaski associated that just South Southwestern,

803
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: so that you don't even make Pulaski County.

804
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I hate to crown someone as maybe one of

805
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 5: the worst fan base in the state, but I've never

806
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 5: been there.

807
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of Matt said, a lot.

808
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 5: Of messages out about how bad it is, and that's

809
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 5: just that's.

810
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 2: How it goes.

811
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, Again, I think we need to

812
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 4: go to a game. I think we need to go.

813
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 4: We need to go.

814
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 6: I mean, we're making these people sound like they're the

815
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 6: Philadelphia Eagles.

816
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 4: Fans of high school.

817
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 2: Basketball booed Santa Claus. They flipped him off and called

818
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: him a dah Yeah, I think that's what they did.

819
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw a screenshot last night. I think it

820
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 5: was a reply to your video of the ref's face

821
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 5: when she was acting like that. I didn't see that

822
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 5: in the original video. But the ref is just appalled

823
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 5: by what's going on in the crowd.

824
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 4: They escorted.

825
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 2: They escorted the woman out.

826
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 4: They also escorted.

827
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 2: A coach out. The police had to escort a coach out.

828
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: That doesn't happen a lot.

829
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 3: And if thought we stepped, somebody told us that was

830
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 3: his mother in law at the coach.

831
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 6: The coaches think they're the most exciting fan base in

832
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 6: Kentucky got the meanest.

833
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 2: I'm not the one saying that. I'm just saying if

834
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: you were to take a poll in the state, if

835
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 2: you go buy the text machine, that would be.

836
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 6: What Middlesborough would never Madisonville would know.

837
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 2: Politest fans in Middlesborough. They'll take you down to Shades

838
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: and the Cracker Barrel. It will be wonderful. Chain Rock.

839
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 4: Oh, who doesn't love a good chain rock?

840
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: Who's up next, Corey? Corey? How are you Corey? Hey?

841
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 7: What's going on, guys, I'm actually uh, I'm delivering all right,

842
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 7: well selling country Boy and Bowling Green today. So on

843
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 7: your way out to see the country Boy truck in.

844
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 3: Me a wave.

845
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 2: But we will need you, guys.

846
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 7: I needed you guys to settle a debate with a

847
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 7: buddy of mine that we're having. And the winner of

848
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 7: the debate, Uh well, the loser of the debate has

849
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 7: to buy big Blue Madness tickets for this up the

850
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 7: next year.

851
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 2: For the way, Blue Madness tickets are free. So that's

852
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 2: not much, but it's but either way.

853
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 7: Go ahead those third party tickets rather but anyway. Uh So,

854
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 7: his side of the argument is we've seen peak Pope.

855
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 7: It's not gonna get any better because we have so

856
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 7: much experience, so on and so forth, or as my

857
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 7: side of the argument says, we have five of these

858
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 7: guys coming back, we have probably gonna get some transfers,

859
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 7: and then we have the recruiting class that are the

860
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 7: dogs that we were missing this year.

861
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: Well, he's insane, Your friend is insane, and you're gonna win.

862
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 2: I mean, you're gonna win the tickets. The idea appreciate

863
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: the call that we've seen peak Pope this year and

864
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 2: it'll only be worse is ludicrous. I mean, first of all,

865
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: I think there's a decent chance that this is the

866
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 2: worst talent in the broad perspective that Pope will have. Now.

867
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be a worst team necessarily

868
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 2: because I think he's gotten a lot out of these guys.

869
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: But if he was able to get all these players

870
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: drew having not coached here at all in four weeks,

871
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 2: imagine what he can do Otherwise. I expect us to

872
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: do even better in the portal this year than we

873
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: did last year freshman. He still needs to go get

874
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 2: an elite recruit not from Kentucky. We need to wait

875
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 2: and see if he can do that. I don't know

876
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 2: why he can't, but we need to see it. But

877
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 2: I think we'll do just as well on the portal

878
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 2: this year, if not better than last year. So I

879
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: think it's ludicrous to say that. I mean, you're trying

880
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: to tell me you think the best team Mark Pope

881
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 2: will have here is a ten lost team. I just

882
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 2: don't believe that. No.

883
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 5: I think his friend's been drinking some of that country

884
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 5: boy he's passed around bowling Green right now, How can

885
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 5: you say he's peaked, yet he had a full year

886
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 5: here to do anything. This time of year ago, Pope

887
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 5: was building his next class for BYU and getting ready

888
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 5: for tournament's ready for the Big twelve tournament, with no

889
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 5: idea he'd be coaching Kentucky. Then he threw this together

890
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 5: on the fly. If you want to say it after

891
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 5: next season, maybe when he's had a full year and

892
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 5: you know, fair circumstances to have a season, then maybe

893
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 5: you can have that opinion. But I think it's crazy

894
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 5: to say that this early in Pope's time at Kentucky.

895
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 6: He put this team together in two weeks. He's dealt

896
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 6: with injuries throughout the season, and in the best conference

897
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 6: that we've ever seen in our lifetime.

898
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 4: I think he's done a hell of the job.

899
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 2: The injury's part of it is huge, best SEC ever,

900
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 2: and he had injuries the whole time. I mean, Alabama

901
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: has a chance to be a one seed. They have

902
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: five conference losses. We have eight, like we have three

903
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 2: more than a team that could be a one seed

904
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 2: in the turn.

905
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 3: You would think that it was probably harder this year

906
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 3: because nobody had nothing to base it on. Now he

907
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 3: can go out in the transfer portal next year. Look

908
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 3: what we did. I think it'll be an easier sell

909
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 3: from here on out.

910
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 2: I had a national college Basketball rider I talk about

911
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 2: Pope with me about a week ago, and he said,

912
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 2: I still need to be proved. It needs to be

913
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 2: proven to me that he can go get a top

914
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 2: ten recruit not from Kentucky. Fair enough, he said, But

915
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: I think Pope has arguably the best story to sell

916
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 2: in the portal of anybody. He took a bunch of dudes,

917
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: almost none of which were even ranked at the top

918
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 2: of the transfer class, and he took them to the top.

919
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: That's another thing we don't think about. A lot of

920
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 2: these guys were ranked like thirty fifth in the portal fortieth, like,

921
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 2: we didn't even really get a top ten portal guy,

922
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 2: and yet we're still going to be a three seed

923
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 2: in the NCAA Tournament. I think it's ridiculous to say

924
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 2: that's the best he can do.

925
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 5: He wouldn't got Oklahoma's sixth man and made him one

926
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 5: of the best players in the conference. Imagine him going

927
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 5: out and get another team's best.

928
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 2: Player, exactly right. I think that's a great point. We

929
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: will take a break come back our number two here

930
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 2: in bowling green. This is KSR
