25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 4: it is, that's what they said.

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 5: Well, we are across the arch. We I didn't see west.

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 4: I didn't see any gardens though, like we went we

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 4: went by there. I saw no gardens, but we were here.

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 4: Kentucky is playing tomorrow, obviously, and until then we it's

30
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 4: media day for this subregional as Mario will be leaving

31
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 4: here in just a little bit because UK begins their

32
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: press conference. I believe that right as the show ends,

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 4: and then practice right after that. Uh and and Mario

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: is gonna go get all the scoop to put out there.

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 5: These open practices as used to be fun to go

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 5: to because all the local Kentucky fans wherever Kentucky was

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 5: playing would come to the open practice. And there's using

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 5: a lot of kids at Skip school and it's kind

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 5: of fun atmosphere to be there. I haven't been won

40
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 5: in forever.

41
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: See, it's it's less fun. When we first started, it

42
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: was fun, and now the coaches it depends, well, I

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 4: haven't seen Pope do one, so maybe Callathyan started just

44
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: treating it like as a joke, and so he didn't

45
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 4: really do anything. I don't know if Pope treats it

46
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 4: for real or not, so because I don't know that

47
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: I went last year, so he did.

48
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 5: An hour of fun drills.

49
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we'll see maybe he does. But but but

50
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 4: we're going to that. Santa Clara is up first. They

51
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: start here pretty soon, and then and then Kentucky and

52
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 4: then of course the games start everywhere else today. But

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: we arrived in Saint Louis. Uh, you know, Drew is

54
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: on is on baby Watch and so he was not

55
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 4: has not been able to come. So it's me, Drew

56
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: and Mario, just the three of us, you know. Uh,

57
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 4: the Bachelor's rolling rolling to Saint Louis.

58
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 5: Went to a cool area last night called it went

59
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 5: to the hill.

60
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 4: That everybody said to go to, which is nice. Didn't

61
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: seem to be on a hill, no that I could tell. Really,

62
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 4: I don't know why they call it, why they caught

63
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 4: the hill, because I was expecting a huge hill and

64
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 4: it didn't really seem like it was on I shared your.

65
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 5: Fun fact about the hill with Shannon this morning on

66
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 5: the pre show.

67
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, with Yogi Barrier and Joe Garrett Giola grew up

68
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 4: across the street from.

69
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 5: Each and then Jack Buck with just a couple of

70
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 5: blocks down the street. I think you said that.

71
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 4: Was a you think there's like baseball in the water there.

72
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 4: And we ate it a place called Mama's on the Hill,

73
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: which was one of the many places we've gotten recommended.

74
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: We have a great set of UH food options here

75
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: and we liked it. We thought it was we thought

76
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 4: it was good.

77
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 5: Mama's was fire, as Mario was saying, well, it.

78
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 4: Was perfect for you because it was, like Shannon all

79
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: stuff Ryan knows, so like their their specialty was like

80
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: spaghetti with a meatball. You know. I mean like if

81
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 4: you were saying, Okay, what's the highest version of what

82
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 4: Ryan likes to eat, Mamas would have it. Oh you

83
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: like fanacchini alfredo? I theok place for you.

84
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 5: I do need to admit something to everybody. Matt found

85
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 5: my driver's license.

86
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 4: Okay, Kenny did he talk about this on the pre show.

87
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 4: It was such a Ryan Lemon moment. All Right, We're

88
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: sitting at the bar eating and Ryan Lemon starts panicking

89
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: and you've seen this like he does. He wants to

90
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 4: act like everything's normal, but he's like a little dog

91
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: that's running around in circles at some points, and that's

92
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 4: exactly right. He stands up and he's patting his pockets,

93
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: he's patting the top of his little head, and he's like,

94
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: he's just moving around. And so finally I go, what

95
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: is wrong? Because you could tell something was wrong with him?

96
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 4: And he goes, I lost my driver's license. And I said, okay,

97
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: when was the last time you had it? And he

98
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: was like three minutes ago.

99
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: Okay, we couldn't have gone far.

100
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 4: And so we know it couldn't have gone far. He said,

101
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 4: I pulled it out because in Missouri to use DraftKings

102
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 4: you have to scan your ID. Right, He's like, I

103
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 4: pull it out to skam my ID. And I go,

104
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 4: what did you do? Did you just throw it in

105
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 4: the ocean after that? Like you did? You were just

106
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 4: standing right here and he's like, and he's he's throwing

107
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: he is, he's hyperventilating. We're at the bar. He's throwing plates,

108
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: he's pouring liquor out of bottles, trying to see where

109
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 4: it is.

110
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 5: I emptied my wallet, like twice, and that part of

111
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 5: the story.

112
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: It's so Shannon, I just had a feeling, you know,

113
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 4: I just had a feeling about Ryme. I go, it's

114
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 4: in your wallet, and he's like, I've emptied it four times,

115
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 4: can't be in my wallet. And I said, will you

116
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 4: hand me your wallet? He gives me his wallet. First

117
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: thing I opened, there are seven health insurance cars.

118
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's important at that age.

119
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 4: How many health insurances do you have?

120
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 5: One for Josiah, one for Gavin? Like I got yoga

121
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 5: girls car. Why do you have theirs? Like they're adults.

122
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 5: Why do you have Gavin's he's twenty six years old. Well,

123
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 5: casey ever gets in an accident, I need to, you know,

124
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 5: give some information for him. He can't speak.

125
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 4: So do you think they're gonna ask for his health

126
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 4: insurance card to you? Yeah?

127
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 5: They might, you know, is that what people do?

128
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 4: Do? People give their parents their health insurance cards at

129
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 4: twenty cents?

130
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: My parents had money.

131
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 4: I don't think my parents had money regardless. So I

132
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 4: pull out this stack of health insurance cards up to

133
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 4: the ceiling, right, Okay, not in there. Then I open

134
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 4: his credit cards up, not in there, and then I

135
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 4: see there's a pocket in the back of the wallet.

136
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 4: And before I even reach in there, shin, I know

137
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 4: it's in there, you know, reach in first thing comes

138
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 4: out of his diety. This man had torn the restaurant up.

139
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: He was about to ask to go back in the

140
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 4: kitchen because he thought he left it on his plate. Yes,

141
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 4: first of all, who puts their driver's license on a plate? Ryan, right,

142
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 4: I'll find it benched. Classic Ryan Lemon thing that he

143
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: loses his driver's license at his seat at dinner and

144
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 4: it's in his wallet and he can't find it in

145
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: his own wallet. But I did.

146
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: But he obviously put it in a pocket that normally.

147
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 5: He put the wrong slot.

148
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 4: It'd be the first thing that you should think of,

149
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 4: Like if I look in my credit cards and gone,

150
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 4: I'm like, I bet I put it behind my driver's

151
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: license accidentally. Nope, Ryan didn't think about it. He got it, thankfully,

152
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 4: he got it into DraftKings so he could place his bets.

153
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 5: And thank you found it because I was in a

154
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 5: full body sweat by that time by the time you

155
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 5: found it.

156
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: How many white Russians were you into?

157
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: Well that we we could talk about. I'm not going

158
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: to embarrass him. What's in his wallet, but we could

159
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 4: talk about I don't know to used uh like Kleanexes.

160
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: Wallet like a hanky.

161
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 4: I apologize to the children and all the people out there.

162
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 5: Gotty Town credit card.

163
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: Did you see the condom from nineteen sixty.

164
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that was.

165
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: So I mean, it was just it was just it

166
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 4: was so it's a great question. So so but anyway,

167
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 4: thankfully we got it.

168
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 5: Thankfully you found it because I was paying and we're

169
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 5: all panic found.

170
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 4: It and we're ready to go. So last night, for me,

171
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 4: the tournament got kicked off. Yes with that. Miami of all,

172
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: no doubt it.

173
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 6: Did you know?

174
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 4: We listen, we're gonna talk about Kentucky today and that's ultimately.

175
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 4: But I cannot think of the last time I've enjoyed

176
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 4: cheering a game like I did. Miami of all the

177
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 4: same we all did, all three of us, Miami of Ohio.

178
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 4: You know. I flipped on him about four three or

179
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 4: four weeks ago. First I was like, they shouldn't be

180
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 4: it because they come in last place in the SEC.

181
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 4: I'm out of that. Now they changed my mind that

182
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 4: they should be in, and now I'm going further. Why

183
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 4: we need more of these teams. Right, if they're going

184
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 4: to expand the tournament, which they are going to do it,

185
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: I don't want Auburns in the tournament right right? Who

186
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 4: wants that? Nobody wants that. That was fun. Random dudes

187
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 4: who all? They fell down every play, you know, they

188
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: fell down every play. It was a joyous sporting It's

189
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: what that game was why we love the NCAA term

190
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 4: SMU should have won. If SMU was smart, they'd have

191
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 4: scored every play every time they went inside. Miami of

192
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 4: Ohio had no chance, but they got away from it

193
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 4: and they they'd start shooting dumb shots. And then these

194
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 4: dudes who all. I'm sure if I knew the Miami

195
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 4: of Ohio players, I probably wouldn't like any of them.

196
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 4: They all look like they're like at a frat party.

197
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 4: But they were fun to watch. And it wasn't just

198
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 4: making threes, back door cuts, oh yeah, bounce passes, whoopedie

199
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 4: woos they did. They did a pass on a break

200
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: where he bounced the ball up in the air and

201
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: the other dude was not athletic enough to get it,

202
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 4: so he just touched it, tapped it and it went in.

203
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 4: It was like the and one tour, but for like

204
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: frat guys, and I thought it was so much fun.

205
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 5: That game last night is exactly why you put Miami

206
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 5: Ohio in the tournament, you know.

207
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 4: And would Simeu and Auburn have been anything like that? No, no, no,

208
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: that was much more fun.

209
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 5: And the three of us, you and me and Mario,

210
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 5: we were cheering and going crazy with every three.

211
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: That's the most excited I've gotten in a game that

212
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 4: didn't involve Kentucky. We watched the whole thing was from

213
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 4: tip to I can't remember the last time I've sat

214
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 4: and watched you know, I watched college games every night,

215
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 4: but I watched the second half or a little bit.

216
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 4: We watched the entire thing, and I was into it.

217
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: And then they brought those swimmers down. Okay, shit it

218
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,479
Speaker 4: I usually you know, who wants dudes walking around in speedos?

219
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 4: But that was hilario.

220
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 5: It was hilarious.

221
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 4: I don't think they were supposed to be there, because

222
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 4: they weren't there anymore. I just did it that one time.

223
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 4: I think they did it that one time. I think

224
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 4: they probably snuck in there and then got in trouble,

225
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 4: and then got in trouble and got sent back to

226
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 4: their seats because they came running and they weren't there again, No,

227
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 4: but they all came out. That one dude was painted

228
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,599
Speaker 4: all in red and he was like, ah, and I

229
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 4: loved it. That is that to me is what the

230
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 4: NCAA Tournament is about. Was that game last night. And

231
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 4: you know SMU hadn't won a game in the tournament

232
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 4: like thirty years, so it's not like they were a powerhouse.

233
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 4: But nevertheless, I I just I enjoyed it.

234
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 5: And the place was pack because mambablle house.

235
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 7: Yeah.

236
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 4: In fact, it was in Dayton yep, basically a home game. Yep.

237
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 4: Uh it was. It was excellent.

238
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 5: Tell you what, when head.

239
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, if I'm Tennessee, I'm a little nervous.

240
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 4: Tennessee, You're a little nervous. It's hard for teams like

241
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 4: that to do it twice in a row. I mean,

242
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: you know, Florida Gulf Coast did it that year May

243
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 4: its Sweet sixteen. But it is hard for teams to

244
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: do that twice in a row. But you know, if

245
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 4: you're Tennessee, who can struggle to score sometimes anyway you

246
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 4: do gotta be careful.

247
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 5: So what mamall end up shooting what like forty one

248
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 5: three pointers last night or something.

249
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 4: They should have shot seventy five. There was no reason

250
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 4: for them to ever shoot anything that. We're not a

251
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 4: back door cutter of three because when they tried something

252
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 4: else it didn't work.

253
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 5: But you they just want them to go to the

254
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 5: free throw line. We're like, look at him, it looks

255
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 5: like an accountant. Look at him, he looks like a nerd.

256
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 4: You know, it was so much fun. I enjoyed it,

257
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 4: and so here's the here's how I feel. Okay, because

258
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 4: they won, I made the decision this. I'm gonna be magnanimous.

259
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 4: I'm gonna let Bob and Jamestown go first today if

260
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 4: w well, that's where he went.

261
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 5: We should have called him last night. That's all.

262
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 4: I'll let you call him. I'll if he wants to

263
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 4: call in the show. If I'm nine to twenty two

264
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 4: eighty seven, I'll do the Only when no one else calls,

265
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 4: does Bob get to go first? And I'm gonna go

266
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 4: ahead and let him go first today since his team won,

267
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: I feel like that's the thing to do. Shannon, don't

268
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: you agree?

269
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean this would be unprecedented for the KSR Show.

270
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 4: To have him on first, but I mean he deserves it.

271
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 4: They won, They won the game, and I you know,

272
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 4: the tournament. All the first four games were good, Yeah

273
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 4: they were now last year. All the first four games

274
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 4: were good, and then the first and second round was

275
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: kind of blah. It got better after that started. The

276
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: tournament started getting good in the second weekend. I do wonder.

277
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 4: I mean, there's been a lot of chatter that maybe

278
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: mid majors in the transfer portal era, it's harder for

279
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: them to win these upset games. And you know, some

280
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: of the best mid major teams lost in their conference

281
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: tournament Belmont, UNC, Wilmington, So it may be the case

282
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 4: that we don't get a lot of shockers today. But

283
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 4: I do think that was a great kickoff to the tournament.

284
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 5: Well, the fact that they were just bombing them up

285
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 5: from everywhere and the crowd was a local crowd. We

286
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 5: got to know these this team that went thirty one,

287
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 5: and oh, Skaljack, Scaljack's our new favorite player.

288
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 4: Can I tell you what I really thought though, I

289
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 4: didn't Kentucky fans, whether this is fair or not, I

290
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: didn't Kentucky fans thought what we saw from Miami of

291
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: Ohio is what Pope's offense was gonna be.

292
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 5: Talking about that last night, Yeah, I do.

293
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 4: I think that's what I think our fan base thought

294
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 4: that that's what it was gonna be. Now Pope has

295
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 4: never played exactly that style, but I just think that

296
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 4: our fan base watching that, I think they were like, oh,

297
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 4: this is what we were gonna be like, but with

298
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 4: better players. And it hasn't really been like.

299
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 5: Remember they were gonna shoot thirty threes a game. That

300
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 5: was the goal going into the season. We're gonna shoot

301
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 5: thirty threes a game.

302
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that didn't really happen.

303
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 5: Games will shoot thirty threes in three games.

304
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 4: Well, it was a lot of fun. And now you

305
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 4: gotta hope that we Kentucky produced fun on that level.

306
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 4: And uh and you know, I think they should have

307
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 4: let the Speedo guys do. Why not. It's March madness,

308
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 4: you're in this supposed to be mad, supposed to be mad,

309
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 4: supposed to be mad.

310
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 5: Parent of those guys, those swimmers do it every home game. Yeah,

311
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 5: and so they snuck it into the Dayton Arena lake.

312
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 4: And then they were like, we like, get out. But

313
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 4: it was, by the way, that was the only free

314
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: throw they missed the whole night. Was it really smu?

315
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 4: I think that was at that point. It was the

316
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 4: first free throw they missed, and I'm not sure they

317
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 4: missed another one the whole night. They actually says, you

318
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 4: made a ton of free throws.

319
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 5: So if they go play Tennessee, I think they're playing

320
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 5: them in Philadelphia. Those guys have to go the swimmers.

321
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 4: If you're a Miami of Ohio person, you go wherever

322
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 4: this is, You're never gonna have a chance.

323
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 5: Let this again, Philly's not that far from Oxford, Mississippi?

324
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 4: Is it? Oxford, Ohio?

325
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 5: Oxford, Ohio?

326
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Miami of Ohio. Interesting enough in Ohio, that's right,

327
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: not in Mississippi. So it would be weird if they

328
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 4: might name the school Shannon Miami, Ohio and put it

329
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 4: in Mississippi.

330
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: It's aredy weird that it's Miami, Oho Miami.

331
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 4: I saw Miami was in Ohio before it was in Florida.

332
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: So the people of Miami, Ohio, the townspeople, the townspeople

333
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 4: feel like Miami in Florida stole their name, so it

334
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 4: should be Miami in Florida. Well that's what they say.

335
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 4: I don't know, but I'm just Uh, I'm just telling you.

00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 4: I got in my head. This is a great skin

00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 4: on Saturday Night Live. It's the well. It's hard to

00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: describe why skit is funny, but I think I find

00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 4: Machine a little slow today. Again, that's what happens when

350
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 4: you talk basketball. Seven seven to two seven seven four

351
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 4: five two five four. One person rights Matt is, we're

352
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 4: gonna shoot thirty three thirty threes, Pope's equivalent of Mark

353
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 4: Stoops saying we're gonna use the tight ends more. Yes,

354
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 4: we never used the tight ends more. They That was

355
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 4: something Mark Stoops would say every single year. Never happened.

356
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 5: You could go back to Tubby Smith we're gonna speed

357
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 5: it up and play play up.

358
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 4: Tubby never plays Tommy, never played up tempo, never did well.

359
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 4: Tubby played more up tempo than people give him credit for.

360
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 4: I mean that twenty three teen put up loads a point.

361
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that team did for sure. But you're right, Mark Stoups.

362
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 5: We're gonna use the tight ends. We're gonna spread it

363
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 5: out more of this year when.

364
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 4: Person rights, Matt, do you ever drop scoop anymore? You

365
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 4: haven't mentioned vacs from Providence or quinn Ellis. Both have

366
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 4: rumors to UK. Okay, so we need to talk about

367
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 4: this when it comes to portal. First of all, the

368
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 4: British kid quinn Ellis is on my list of things

369
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 4: to talk about. But you folks have to be very

370
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 4: careful that you don't just see an account that says

371
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 4: college basketball on it and assume that what it says

372
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 4: is Yes, that's becoming a huge problem, and maybe it's

373
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 4: a problem for every fan base, but it's definitely a

374
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 4: problem for our fan base. So I saw some random

375
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 4: account that's called college Basketball Transfer Portal, which I'm not

376
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 4: saying is not legitimate, but does anyone know where that

377
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 4: account is from? Is it? Is it real. Is it

378
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 4: a kid in his basement? Is it Bobby Krimins. I

379
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 4: don't know who it is, Bobby. It could be anybody.

380
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 4: But they put out yesterday that some kids transferm from

381
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 4: Providence and they predicted he'd go to Kentucky. Okay, maybe

382
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 4: he will. I have no idea, but what are like

383
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 4: all of a sudden in that And it was literally

384
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 4: a graphic on Twitter with an account that had third

385
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 4: teen hundred followers that became UK websites saying Kentucky was

386
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 4: the leader for this kid and they and they and

387
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, pop will reach with Matt

388
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 4: when you go talk about I mean a guy at

389
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 4: Mama's on the Hill told me that the Miami of

390
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 4: Ohio team was transferring. That doesn't make it a story.

391
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 4: And that's becoming that's happening more more, and in this

392
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 4: portal era where there's an infinite amount of players that

393
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 4: could transfer. I mean you can again, maybe this kid

394
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 4: ends up coming. I have no idea, but like I

395
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 4: need to hear it from somebody that's actually covering recruiting. Now.

396
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 4: The British kid is someone that now people are saying

397
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 4: Kentucky that is recruiting that actually reporters are. He's twenty

398
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 4: two years old. His name is Quinn Ellis. He's a

399
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 4: point guard. He plays for an Italian basketball pro team. Okay,

400
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 4: and there are people saying could be one of the

401
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 4: best players that will end up transferring into college basketball

402
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 4: next year. Duke is interested in him. Kentucky and Louisville,

403
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 4: would you like to have a good day tea and

404
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 4: Crumpet's British point guard next year?

405
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 5: Absolutely, because I you know, we kind of hinted yesterday.

406
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 5: I'm in the Canton. I don't think Low's gonna come back,

407
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 5: so I think they need to go out and get

408
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 5: a top quality, elite, elite, elite point guard. This guy

409
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 5: could be the guy.

410
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 4: There is a person who's a big donor to Kentucky

411
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 4: who's sending it to I think everyone that has a

412
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 4: text because I got this message, but so it seems

413
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 4: like other people did too that they do not think

414
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 4: Jalen Lowe's coming back for a variety of reasons. You know,

415
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: that person might know, but I mean, I don't know

416
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 4: for sure, but if so, and you have to get

417
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 4: a point guard, getting a twenty two year old professional

418
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 4: that's pretty good. I mean that's you feel good about it.

419
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 4: He only averages eight points a game, but he's in

420
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 4: the Italian League, which is a great league. Yeah, so

421
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 4: you know, I mean if Duke. My view is if

422
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 4: Duke wants even then we can win him too.

423
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 5: We learned well, I learned my lesson last year in

424
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 5: the transfer portal. Things can change overnight. And I think

425
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 5: until we hear Jacob Polachik or Jack Pilgrim or one

426
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,239
Speaker 5: of these guys reported about somebody, then you can take

427
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 5: it to the bank.

428
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 4: You you also, I think I was talking about this

429
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 4: on I think a caller called it is so much

430
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 4: harder to evaluate in some ways the portal guys because

431
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,719
Speaker 4: they come from such different environments. So if you were

432
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 4: to go look at the rankings last year for the portal,

433
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 4: the top twenty players in the portal, I don't think

434
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 4: it's anywhere close to who ended up being the top

435
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 4: twenty players high school recruits. It tends to be pretty close,

436
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 4: pretty close, But it seems like people still haven't gotten

437
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 4: the science of the portal down yet. Yeah, so it's

438
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: hard to know exactly who is gonna end up being.

439
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,719
Speaker 4: And then when you throw in a guy that's been

440
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 4: playing in Italy. Yeah, I mean who.

441
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 5: Knows, you know, you know, who would have known that

442
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 5: Dalton connect from what northern Colorado was gonna be the

443
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 5: player he was at Tennessee. And yet then there's a

444
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 5: player like Yaxel. Okay, you think this guy's gonna do

445
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 5: it well?

446
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 4: The kid that's playing at Yukon Silas Dimmerie who we

447
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 4: went after, Yeah, I think he was ranked what thirtieth

448
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 4: in the portal and he's ended up being awes awesome.

449
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 4: So you just you just never I you on some

450
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 4: level have to trust the coaches that they get the fit, right.

451
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 4: I mean there's a handful of guys you know will

452
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 4: be really good like Yaxel was. Yeah, but you know,

453
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 4: Donovan Dian was number one and he struggled most of

454
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: the year, although he's gotten better in the last few games,

455
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 4: but we'll see. My view is, if you can get

456
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 4: a twenty two year old British players, we've only had,

457
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 4: I mean British players, we only had one, right, I think,

458
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 4: Mauric Kenyo.

459
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 5: Will It's only what I can think of more.

460
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 4: Kenyo Williams, I think, is the only British player that

461
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: I can remember that we've had played because there's not

462
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 4: a lot of Brits that play basketball. I mean, I

463
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 4: can only think of a handful of British people period

464
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 4: that it played basketball. John Amachi, yes Ul dang Duke.

465
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 4: I don't think I can think of another one. British

466
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 4: people just aren't basketball players. And but basketball is not

467
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 4: a thing in Britain. Like if you like a lot

468
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 4: of Europe it is. Most of Europe it is, But

469
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 4: in Britain you can just people just don't play basketball.

470
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 5: So we have people players from London Kentucky.

471
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, but so yeah, I'm excited, but as far as

472
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 4: everyone else, I'm not gonna really get into a guy

473
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 4: coming here from the portal until Kentucky meets with him.

474
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 4: And even then we saw last year they met with

475
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 4: fifteen guys they didn't get right.

476
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 5: So changes quickly, just.

477
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 4: A random account saying this kid, you're gonna have to

478
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 4: give me or nah for me to believe it's gonna happen.

479
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 4: We'll take your calls if I'm nine to eight. Twenty

480
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 4: two eighty sevens Koshi TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

481
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 4: He'll make them pay.

482
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 3: No more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

483
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 4: Here's Matt Jones, that collective groan you heard from all

484
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 4: over the state. Where were people losing their minds that

485
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 4: I forgot about a Mariy Williams. Well they should Yeah,

486
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: that that was last year. That's that's a that's a.

487
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 5: Huge It was a lot of things have happened in twelve.

488
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean I should have because I think

489
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 4: twelve months ago when we got him, I was like,

490
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 4: we've never had a British play Like I think I

491
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 4: had that exact conversation one year ago. That was my friend.

492
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 4: That's right there. That was that was close. It'd be like,

493
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 4: we've never had a player named Lamont and you're like,

494
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 4: maybe twelve months ago he did. Yeah, so Amar obviously

495
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: would be. So Mark Pope's had success. Maybe we have

496
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 4: a British pipeline coming.

497
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 5: Well, is there an update to on dink Pate? Another

498
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 5: point guard? They were talking.

499
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 4: I don't have anything about but uh, this will all

500
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 4: really speed up whenever we lose. Yeah, I mean officially

501
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 4: you can't have conversations with people in the portal till

502
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 4: April first, but they are clearly conversations of course that

503
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 4: are occurring. But for Kentucky. You won't start to hear

504
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 4: leaked information until we lose. And then once we lose,

505
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 4: I think you're gonna start hearing it quite a bit.

506
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 4: First thing will be what our.

507
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 5: Players do right, and then because they'll have to enter

508
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 5: the portal.

509
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 4: Yesuick, well April first, but like you'll start to hear.

510
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 4: I think before what what what they're gonna what they're

511
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 4: gonna do if I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven,

512
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 4: before we go the phones, I do want to talk

513
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 4: just second about we listened Shannon. We were driving here

514
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 4: and then I remember that Eli Capaludo was doing an interview.

515
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, on A on A on another network and

516
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 4: another show. And you know, I'm a big believer in

517
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 4: try to be a big believer and don't punch down.

518
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 4: I don't always adhere to that, but I try, Okay,

519
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 4: punch up, not down. So I don't want to punch down.

520
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 4: I deleted a tweet I said because I don't want

521
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 4: to punch down the show. I don't know the two

522
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 4: people that host the show, so you know, it's fine.

523
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 4: I can't punch though a little bit. So Eli Cappoluto

524
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 4: was on If any of you ever thought that, like

525
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 4: Mitch Barnhardt, was too saucy and interesting. Go listen to

526
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: an Eli cappolluto. Okay, nice man. But we turned it

527
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 4: on halfway through and I had to turn it offtion

528
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 4: and I was gonna run off the road fall asleep.

529
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, nice man.

530
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: I didn't hear it.

531
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 4: But I see they're doing a filibuster in the Senate.

532
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 4: Just put Elie up there. You don't have to have

533
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 4: any money. And then the thing I found most interesting

534
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 4: is the hosts were not allowed to do the interview.

535
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 4: The guy who owned the station took over and did

536
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 4: the interview. Yeah, that was the guy. You remember that

537
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 4: Seventeen years ago I went to every station and said

538
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 4: I'll work for free, and he told me I would

539
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 4: never be in broadcasting because I didn't have any talent.

540
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 4: Do you remember that? Yeah?

541
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 5: I forgot that part of the story.

542
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 4: Yes, he met with me and he said, look, you

543
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 4: seem like a good guy, but you don't really have

544
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 4: a voice for radio, and I just don't think you'll

545
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 4: ever really be in broadcasting. He looked at me and

546
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 4: said that during lunch, and I remember thinking, all right,

547
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 4: we'll see that.

548
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 5: They dropped the Ball. They have Alan Cutler on their staff. Yeah,

549
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 5: Alan Cutler should have done that interview.

550
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 4: Well, if you wait it, I want you to think

551
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 4: about it. If you're hosting a show and Shannon like,

552
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 4: let's that's that would be like the CEO of iHeart

553
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 4: taking over KSR an interview.

554
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 5: And someone like Mitch come on that day.

555
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm gonna have Mitch on and they go, all right, Matt,

556
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 4: you're out, We're bringing in the CEO of iHeart, right,

557
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 4: are you kidding?

558
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: Men?

559
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 4: So he interviewed him. So the guy by the way

560
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 4: who said I had no talent snoozefest of an interview,

561
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 4: So it sounded very scripted.

562
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, probably have pre.

563
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 4: Really came out of it. Really, no news came out

564
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 4: of it, except there was maybe a half piece of news,

565
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 4: which was he did say that they would look national

566
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 4: for the ad, but then he said, but that doesn't

567
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 4: mean we won't hire somebody internal. So like, that's why

568
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 4: I say a half piece of news. He acknowledged that

569
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 4: they he said he was going on his listening tour.

570
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 4: He didn't say what that meant, but that he was

571
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 4: almost done with the listening tours. So a lot of

572
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 4: listening has already occurred, but otherwise it was thirty forty

573
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 4: minutes and there was no news. I'm just gonna tell

574
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 4: you though, if I hosted a show and my boss

575
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 4: told me to get out of way and let me

576
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 4: do the interview, stop it, well.

577
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 5: We were all kind of anxious to hear because this

578
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 5: was the first time Kapludhu had spoke since Mitch decided

579
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 5: to leave.

580
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 4: First words, there was really like nothing nothing.

581
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 5: That's why I think it was like the agreed upon

582
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 5: kind of a scripted interview.

583
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 4: What's the point of that. What's the point of saying

584
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 4: nothing like that? Didn't get that, It didn't help the situation.

585
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 4: Did not even ask or address the contract.

586
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 5: See, that's that's why you need to be like Cutler

587
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 5: and you to ask those questions.

588
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 2: I didn't even say that we addressed the media. That's that.

589
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 4: They didn't even address it. So I'm so the UK

590
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 4: did send me a statement. Okay, all right, So I

591
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 4: do want this is about I asked about the contract

592
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 4: and I want to pull up here their statement because

593
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 4: he they sent me a statement, and of course now

594
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 4: I can't find it. Okay, it's way too long for

595
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 4: me to read out. The first paragraphs about how successful

596
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 4: Mitche is. The second paragraph is about how much he

597
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 4: brings to university. Then this is what is said about

598
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 4: the contract. His compensation is in line with what comparable

599
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 4: institutions have paid for similar transitions, and the role itself

600
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 4: is more robust, more accountable, and more critical to the

601
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 4: Universe's mission. Importantly, this does not distract from the athletic

602
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 4: department's capacity in any way. Says nothing. No, I mean

603
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 4: it says nothing.

604
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

605
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 4: I asked why did he get two million more dollars?

606
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 4: And that was the answer.

607
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 5: They're trying to say other schools gives it.

608
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 4: Basically just says other schools do doesn't say which schools

609
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 4: do it.

610
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 5: I've never heard that other schools just give.

611
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 4: Two million dollars out of the kindness of their heart.

612
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 4: Somebody decides to move to a so you know, you

613
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:33,239
Speaker 4: can make of that what you want. But I do

614
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 4: not understand the pr strategy of a university that says, oh,

615
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 4: all these people are upset, We're gonna answer the questions

616
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 4: by putting someone on and having them talk when no

617
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 4: one's listening and saying nothing. Yeah, that doesn't do anything,

618
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 4: But that's what they decide to do. Who's up next?

619
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 2: We asked for Bob and Jamestown in Still we got Rob.

620
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: But by the way, Bob and Jamestown does not call today.

621
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 4: I texted him this is the one day that I'm up.

622
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 4: And then Shannon he it's classic Bob, or he would

623
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 4: have called and talked about the rest he's defining. I

624
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 4: guess I kind of respect that. All right, go ahead, Rob, Rob,

625
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 4: go ahead.

626
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 6: Hey guys, So it looks like Pope missed on another

627
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 6: recruit and they're reporting that it fell apart at the

628
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 6: ni L table. Are we seriously looking I know they

629
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 6: talked about the video game coordinator at some G League

630
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 6: team or not video game video coordinator? I mean we

631
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 6: are we seriously pursuing a GM here.

632
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 4: Well, we don't know what, but yeah, we don't know what.

633
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 4: We don't know. Really, we know they're hiring at least

634
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 4: two people in some sort of role, but we're not

635
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 4: sure what responsibilities they're being given. So it's hard to

636
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 4: be quite frank with you, it's hard to know if

637
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 4: whether they are or not. He was not. He was asked,

638
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 4: Eli was asked about that, and he goes, you'll have

639
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 4: to ask Mitch, so he completely punted on that too.

640
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 4: So so the short answer is they're hiring somebody to

641
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 4: help with this stuff. But whether or not they're actually

642
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 4: they have yet to make clear.

643
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 6: As long as they can close the deal at the table,

644
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 6: because that seems to be it's like we're number two

645
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 6: to everybody, and it's always reported that it's about nil,

646
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 6: And yeah, take that off of JMI because will Stein don't.

647
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 4: Seem to have it rub But remember, I want to

648
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 4: say this, I'm not I'm not blaming JMI, but will

649
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 4: Stein and football are different. The way you build a

650
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 4: football program through through NIL is different than basketball. In football,

651
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 4: you're taking money and you're distributing it amongst seventy guys,

652
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 4: and you really are only negotiating with one or two stars.

653
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 4: In basketball, all the people are stars. All the people

654
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 4: are asking for specialized deals. So in football, will Stein

655
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 4: basically had maybe two big deals to negotiate a couple

656
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 4: of the offensive linemen and the quarterback from Notre Dame.

657
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: And from what we've seen, JMI and that that has

658
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 4: been really successful in that world. But basketball is a

659
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 4: different world. Basketball you've got agents who are asking who

660
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 4: can The players are much more are stars, they have

661
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 4: their own brand deals. It's a different thing. So I'm

662
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 4: with you. Will Stein has shown that the JMI setup

663
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 4: for football seems to work. What the question is is

664
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 4: basketball it's not. It doesn't seem like it's working. But

665
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 4: now is that JMI Is that Mark Pope? We don't

666
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 4: know yet. I think we'll know a lot more at

667
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 4: the end of this portal cycle.

668
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 6: Could it be just relationships with agents?

669
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 4: It could be, It could be very well could be.

670
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 4: If you remember the original story, it was a two

671
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 4: part story. Everyone focuses on the first part, which was

672
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 4: the JMI part, but the second part was that Mark

673
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 4: Pope was not coming off great to these agents, right,

674
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 4: and that Mark Pope was kind of not connecting to people. So, Sir,

675
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 4: I think it's a fair question which one of those

676
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 4: is most important. I think as of this moment, I

677
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 4: don't know the answer to that.

678
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 6: Okay, thanks guys.

679
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 4: Appreciate the call. Do you agree with that?

680
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why it's crucial, we've said many times, and

681
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 5: he gets somebody that can handle talking to agents and

682
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 5: handle the money. The budget side of NIL World.

683
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 4: And football at Kentucky is different. Yes, it's different, and

684
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 4: it seems like we're doing that pretty well. But in basketball,

685
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 4: you got like nine guys, all of whom have nine agendas,

686
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 4: and that's a different It is rategy, it is. It's

687
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 4: just different.

688
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 5: They have AA coaches and agents and everybody else, kind

689
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 5: of to put it another way.

690
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 4: In football, we're not recruiting the top five guys. That's

691
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 4: a problem for Alabama Ohio State. But in basketball we

692
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 4: all we do and so that's a different it's a

693
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 4: different process and time. It's time to score big this

694
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 4: month at Don Franklin. She's from over six thousand new

696
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,760

699
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 4: big online or at the twenty eight dealerships. There's a

700
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 4: new one at Don Franklin. It's Don Franklinado, driven by family.

701
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 4: We'll take a break and beery backs KSR welcome back. Yeah,

702
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 4: we still have no news, but that's okay.

703
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 5: We'll get there to check with some of our reporter friends.

704
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 5: And Lex Denna and said, did he say anything at all.

705
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 5: Everybody totally blanket agree. No, no news came out.

706
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 4: Well that's the way it goes. A nine eighty seven.

707
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 4: Are we gonna win tomorrow?

708
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, we're gonna you know, let ourselves get scared

709
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 5: about Santa Clara, but just because we're gun shy from

710
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 5: Oakland and Saint Peter's. But yes, we will win tomorrow.

711
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 4: Objectively, we're better. Yes. Uh. People say, well, they shoot well,

712
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 4: that's true. They rebound pretty well, that's true. They're like

713
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 4: one of the worst defensive teams in the tournament. They

714
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 4: don't guard anybody. We don't want to. We don't want

715
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 4: to do what SMU did and try to get to

716
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 4: shootout right. But you know, we should be able to

717
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 4: score on them relatively easily. Are bigs like this is

718
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 4: your chance to showcase, like you should be able. They

719
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 4: have two the big guys, but one of them is

720
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 4: not very good. Uh. Now, the the forward that that

721
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 4: can step out and shoot threes, you got to stay

722
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 4: on him.

723
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 5: He's their best player.

724
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 4: But our guards should be better, So we should win.

725
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,479
Speaker 4: That doesn't mean we will, but we should.

726
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 5: I think Hermsink is a great coach. Herb Herb Herb

727
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 5: Syndick is a great coach, but our dudes are better

728
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 5: than their dudes. You're supposed to go out and wind.

729
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 4: Supposed to go win, So go win.

730
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 3: They've lost the three teams not in the tournament. They've

731
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 3: only beaten two teams in the tournament, McNees and stat St.

732
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 2: Mary's of the team.

733
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 4: McNees and Saint Mary's. So you know, we we have

734
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 4: only lost one game to a team not in the tournament,

735
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 4: and it was a team that was the next team in, right,

736
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 4: and we've beaten really good team.

737
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 5: Yep.

738
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 4: So go win the game and then give yourself a

739
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 4: chance against Iowa State. So I'm accepting no negative energy

740
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 4: from now until tomorrow.

741
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 5: At twelve fifteen, I was kind of impressed with the

742
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 5: way they came out opened up playing the SEC tournament.

743
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 5: You know, they played pretty well in their first game

744
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 5: and the second even their second game played pretty well. Yeah,

745
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 5: So I think there, You know, there is something about

746
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 5: turning it up for tournament time, and this guy seem

747
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 5: to do that.

748
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 4: We'll learn a lot. We're gonna learn a lot about

749
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 4: sort of how this whole thing went by, kind of

750
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 4: how you play tomorrow now. Games at twelve fifteen, it's

751
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 4: early for them, it's even earlier. So for them it's

752
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 4: at nine to fifteen.

753
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 5: So they're meeting with the media like any minute for

754
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 5: the first time since the Brackets came out UK. Yeah,

755
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 5: what do you think.

756
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 4: About Pope said that he wanted the reason he didn't

757
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 4: do the Bracket show was he wanted to have a

758
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 4: special moment with the team. I think people had guessed

759
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 4: it was because of that documentary. Apparently the documentary crew

760
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 4: was there, so that it was just he said, you know,

761
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 4: because the documentary crew had followed them around all year,

762
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 4: they had never been alone. That was basically what he said,

763
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 4: and here was our chance to be alone. What do

764
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 4: you think of that?

765
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 5: I think it smells like duck poop. I don't know

766
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 5: why he wanted to isolate everybody.

767
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 4: It's because but I mean, is that you that's plausible?

768
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 4: I mean you could make an argument that why do

769
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 4: we why did we have this documentary crew? You know,

770
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 4: the last time we had a documentary crew following us

771
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 4: around all year we met we made the n I T.

772
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 4: That was when ESPN followed us.

773
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 5: The season stunk.

774
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I mean you could argue maybe we just

775
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 4: aren't like the whole doing the documentary crew is not

776
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 4: the thing for us to do. But nevertheless, let's just

777
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 4: take it face value. What he said is true, which

778
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 4: is the crew's been around all year, so they're never alone.

779
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 4: For whatever reason, the crew was not gonna be there,

780
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 4: so they had a chance to be alone.

781
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 5: If this was a good idea, something that was you know, people,

782
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 5: that was a good idea. Did other teams do it?

783
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 5: Did other teams kind of be isolated? Could we want

784
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 5: a special moment by ourselves.

785
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 4: No, I'm not as upset about this as other people are,

786
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 4: I think though, But there are issues that I think

787
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 4: sometimes the media complains about, yes, that are legitimate, that

788
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 4: are not like legitimate issues, And then there are issues

789
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 4: that sometimes the media complains about that the media just

790
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 4: complains because it's.

791
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 5: Not it affects us, It affects the US.

792
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 4: I kind of lean towards this one being the second one.

793
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 4: So the fact that he didn't make any comment at

794
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 4: all before the game, right, I think that's a mistake

795
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 4: that to me is a number one complaint, which is

796
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 4: the fans want to hear what you have to say, yep,

797
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 4: say something. The fact that he didn't do the bracket

798
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 4: watch is kind of to me more of a number two. Now.

799
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 4: It has been a long tradition, and you could argue,

800
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 4: why do you in the tradition, But I'm more I

801
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 4: think number one is a legitimate clamplaint. Number two is

802
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 4: just kind of But then I never went to that,

803
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 4: so I don't really you know, I was always at

804
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 4: the SEC tournament, so I never made it. This is it?

805
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 5: Can you make it? Are you mean about the players

806
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 5: wanted to feel that part of getting an NCAA turn.

807
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 4: I bet the players don't care. I bet the players

808
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 4: don't care. I mean, I don't think the players care

809
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 4: whether there's people taking pictures of them or not. They

810
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 4: might even like it more if there's not, you know so,

811
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 4: But either way, his decision to not practice in Nashville,

812
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,959
Speaker 4: all that part of it just depends on how you play.

813
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 4: If you win, nobody's gonna care about any of this,

814
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 4: right right, No, nobody will care about anything if you win.

815
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 4: And that's why winning is the great cure for all

816
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 4: this stuff. Just go win. Who's next, Joseph, Joseph, Go ahead, Joseph,

817
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 4: And man, I think, Clara, but make it than what

818
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 4: it should be.

819
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 8: Pace of State points then that State. I think we'll

820
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 8: do what we usually do, be down by halftime, and

821
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 8: then I think I will Awa State pulls away in

822
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 8: the second half.

823
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 4: Well, way to be excited, Joseph, appreciate the basketball. Joseph Man,

824
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 4: nothing is gonna change his volume and tone.

825
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 2: Shannon, Right, yeah, first day of the tournament.

826
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,479
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm gonna get married tonight. I think it's

827
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 4: gonna go well, we.

828
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 5: Have cake, but tomorrow we're gonna get into a fight.

829
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 4: I love that about Joseph not he doesn't get rattled. No,

830
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 4: he's right where he's gonna be. Who's next, Tim, Tim?

831
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 4: Go ahead? Tim?

832
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 7: Hey, Matt, Hi, Ryan, Matt. I want to comment on

833
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 7: you kidding Ryan? About Miami and Miami of Ohio. They

834
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 7: have a ton of foreign athletes, and I know a

835
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 7: college swimmer was recruited by him, and then the recruitment

836
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 7: they had palm trees all over the letters. Apparently a

837
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 7: lot of these kids show up and they're surprised that

838
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 7: it's a middle Oh really.

839
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 4: That's interesting. So they just they don't say we're in Florida,

840
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 4: but they just let let people assume that that's where

841
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 4: they are.

842
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 7: They have palm trees all over their stuff. I like

843
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,680

Speaker 7: and I hope that after the end of this tournament

847
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 7: we can say the guy was a genius for the

848
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 7: things he's done. And I actually liked the idea that

849
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 7: he restricted the distractions with the media.

850
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate you call. Thank you and thank you

852
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 4: I like that. You know, Max Steffie told me that

853
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 4: when he was in Australia and they and the guys

854
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 4: the punters would get their college scholarship, He's like, we

855
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 4: don't have any idea where these schools are. He's like,

856
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 4: imagine you're an American high school student and you get

857
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 4: an offer from an Australian school and it's not in

858
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 4: Sydney or Melbourne. You're not gonna know anything.

859
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 5: About it nothing.

860
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 4: He's like, in Australia, we know New York, LA, Miami, Vegas.

861
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 4: So he's like deciding between Alabama and you know UNLV.

862
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 4: You're like, I want to go to UNLV in Vegas,

863
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 4: he said, so a lot of times we get here

864
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 4: and we don't even know where we are. That's kind

865
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 4: of people. We don't think like that. We'll be right

866
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 4: back our two ks rh
