And as 45 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: we talk about all this, I don't want any of 46 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 3: this to see like a Cali Perry whatever, because it's 47 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: not really about him. He did a lot of really 48 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 3: great stuff here, but like yesterday, it felt like a 49 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: reigniting of the Big Blue nation that I grew up 50 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 3: watching right like where it felt like it was the 51 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: fan ownership of the team, and it was a lot 52 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: of people have compared it to a revival, and it was. 53 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 3: I will tell you, outside of a handful of times, 54 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 3: I'm not sure that I've enjoyed being part of something UK. 55 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 5: Basketball related more than yesterday. 56 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 3: Just everything about it, The randomness of a full house 57 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 3: for a press conference, the fact that it was definitely 58 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 3: a crowd that's not usually in Rupperina. I mean it 59 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: was you know, you open the doors, anybody can walk in. 60 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 3: You get the pure form of the fandom, right. The exhilaration. 61 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 3: I mean, you all saw on television the press conference 62 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 3: and it was awesome, but I would argue the thirty 63 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 3: minutes to an hour before were just as awesome. With 64 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: music playing and people dancing and cheering with nothing going on. 65 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 3: It was just like sheer exuberance. And then Mark Pope 66 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 3: comes out and he says everything you'd want to say, 67 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 3: all the former players are there. It just felt like 68 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 3: the Kentucky fandom at its purest sense, the thing that 69 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 3: makes the people in this state and with connections to 70 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 3: this state feel a love for this program that is 71 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 3: not matched anywhere else in the country. It got to 72 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 3: show itself yesterday without anybody telling them they needed to 73 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 3: calm down. They were like, we're just gonna be wild, 74 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 3: and they had a coach got up there and said 75 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 3: be even more wild because I'm wilder than you are. 76 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: And that was such glee and exuberance. And Ryan, I 77 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: loved it. I mean I absolutely loved it. All night 78 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 3: was like reading and looking about it and looking at 79 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 3: pictures and just it was perfect. 80 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 5: And I'm not sure this weekend could have gone any better. 81 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 4: I love the word you use, reawakening, because that's that's 82 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 4: kind of what it felt like. 83 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 5: You're right. 84 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 4: It was just one of those special special moments that 85 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 4: we're all gonna remember for the rest of our lives, because, 86 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 4: like you said, we felt like we got our program back. 87 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 4: It's no longer a player's first program. It is back 88 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 4: to a fans first program. And we loved it because 89 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 4: he's he's one of us.

I mean, 138 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 3: kudos to UK for setting it up. That's a risk, right, 139 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: like you put that in Rupperina and two thousand people 140 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 3: show up, that might not look good. 141 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 4: We honestly thought we're gonna have half of Upperena because 142 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 4: the way that the stage was. 143 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: Say they thought they would have six to eight thousand people.

It was actually a game we lost, 168 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 3: which was Kentucky Florida during the Tubby era when Game 169 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 3: Day was in town on a Saturday night in Florida, 170 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 3: was defending champions and they opened up the arena and 171 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: for an hour it was a massive party. We ended 172 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 3: up losing the game, so nobody remembers it. 173 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 5: Now. 174 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: There have been much louder environments during games, but I've 175 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 3: never been there when the arena just was buzzing like 176 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 3: that for a press conference, like for people to come 177 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,559 Speaker 3: and talk. But I do think there was a sense 178 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 3: of people. John Clay said this in the morning this 179 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: morning in The Herald, and I think he hit it 180 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 3: dead on. It felt like Kentucky fans felt like they 181 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: were getting their program back. 182 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 5: Yep. 183 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 3: Now it doesn't mean that it wasn't successful the other way, 184 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 3: but this was like the program the way they wanted it, 185 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 3: with the thing on the front, the name on the 186 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 3: front of the jersey, right, the it's okay for us 187 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 3: to be wild, right And look, Mark Pope said some 188 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 3: stuff that was clearly intentional. Oh yes he did. We're 189 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: going to win banners in Nashville at the end CC tournament, right, 190 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 3: that's when I cried, we're gonna play in the MAUI invitatious, 191 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 3: We're gonna play defense and switch up our defense like 192 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: he got maybe my favorite one. He clearly was saying 193 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 3: that on purpose, But there was a sense, I think 194 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: Ryan from a lot of fans, like this is the 195 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 3: Kentucky that I signed up for. 196 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 5: Yes, in some way. 197 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 4: This is why we love our Kentucky program. Like you said, 198 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 4: we got our program back. 199 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 5: I agree with you. 200 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 3: Guys. 201 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 4: You said about the the pre stuff. They played the 202 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 4: videos and edited in some Mark Pope shots into those videos. 203 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 4: We've seen even the music, like they played. 204 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 3: Money Money for the first time forever and people were 205 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 3: losing their I mean they were losing it. 206 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 4: It was crazy they you know, when they came off 207 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 4: the bus, they played that the Bulls intro music that 208 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 4: they used to play in ninety six when they'd introduced it. 209 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: DA got me right, you like that shit? 210 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 4: That was incredible, Like I got chills when I saw 211 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 4: the team coming off the bus and they played that song. 212 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 4: You remember the starting lineups at rough and how exciting. 213 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 3: That was from the nineties was awesome. I did wonder because, 214 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 3: like all of us, like, okay, so so drew as 215 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 3: a kid, I was like about to go to college. 216 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: You were working here during all that, and there was 217 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 3: a part of me that wondered, Okay, somebody Mario's age, 218 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: he didn't even know who Mark Pope was right, and 219 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 3: I'm not trying to be but you didn't know. And 220 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 3: I was like, now, what are they going to think 221 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 3: about it? Because that's not nostalgia for them. That's like 222 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 3: if this would have been like when I was at 223 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 3: twenty two watching videos of the reps runs, Right, you 224 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 3: loved it, didn't you? Yesterday? He said it was dope, like. 225 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 5: Like see ips dope. That's exactly right. 226 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 3: But I wondered what their reaction would be because all 227 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 3: they've known is Calperi, and they were into it everywhere. 228 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 3: I just I'm not sure it could have gone well better, 229 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 3: and I just want people to think about psychologists should 230 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 3: study the group, think change in twenty four hours. 231 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 5: There's no doubt. 232 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 3: Thursday night, that thing comes out at ten o'clock and 233 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 3: most everyone was negative, myself included Drew. I know you 234 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 3: were Ryan, you weren't on social media, but I'm sure 235 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 3: you weren't sure about it. And then I think we'll 236 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 3: look back at three things that I think flipped the 237 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 3: fan base in my opinion. 238 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 5: Okay. 239 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 3: Number one was the announcement early in the morning that 240 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 3: four million dollars of an aisle was going to be there, 241 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 3: because people, I think, overnight convince themselves well, Mark Pope 242 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 3: can certainly coach, but can he get players? Okay, and 243 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, with that announcement, you're like, Okay, 244 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: we'll get players. The second thing I think is Barnhart's. 245 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 5: Interview on it. 246 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it. 247 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 3: I think he even though he's not exactly the most 248 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 3: charismatic dude in the world, I think he kind of 249 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 3: sold it. 250 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 5: Well, yes he did. 251 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 3: And then I think the third thing was the Rick 252 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 3: Patino video. 253 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 4: I agree. 254 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 3: I think the Rick Patino video kinda you know, it's 255 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 3: been like I've been as hard on Rick as anybody, 256 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 3: there's no doubt, but secretly, deep in our hearts, we 257 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 3: did I love the guy, right, And it was like 258 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 3: that reignited that. Yeah, when he said mock Pope, it 259 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 3: was like back when he was talking about Ritchie and 260 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 3: those guys, right, And I think those three things together 261 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 3: drew by noon. By the time we got off the 262 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 3: air on Friday, it felt like everybody was like, you 263 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 3: know what, We're going to make it happen, right, you 264 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 3: know what, I'm getting behind this, and we're gonna make 265 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 3: this work. 266 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 5: And then I think that's what led to what you 267 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 5: saw someday. 268 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't speak for everyone that reacted negatively, but 269 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 2: I assume most of it wasn't Mark Pope. It was 270 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 2: how are we offering Dan Hurley the biggest bag in 271 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 2: the history of sports in the morning and then goes 272 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 2: straight to Pope? It was more of the process. Seemed 273 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 2: to be very quick. Was that instant reaction, But we 274 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: just needed to sleep a little bit, get some food 275 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: in our bellies, and then obviously everyone was on board. 276 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: The next day with Mitch and everything you just named. 277 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 3: By the way, Rick Patino has just said he accepts 278 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 3: Mark Pope's offer for a home and home scene. I 279 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 3: didn't hear an official offer, but uh, let's go to 280 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: the garden. 281 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 2: Let's know, I guess that might happen with ye I 282 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 2: was gonna say with the Patino connection. Afterwards, I talked 283 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: to some of the former players that are around, and 284 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to say any of them were anti cow. 285 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: I don't know what they thought of Cal, but there 286 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 2: was a genuine excitement and all those guys and it 287 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: wasn't just the ninety six boys, it was it was Richie, 288 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 2: it was Sam Malone. All the former players were excited 289 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 2: about the new era and how are they're all together? 290 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: I mean that bus that had how many people were 291 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: on that damn bus too? Those people was on a 292 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 2: circus bus, but it had players from every generation and 293 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 2: I know they all that meant a lot to them. 294 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 3: Let's say. I mean, I think that's fair to say 295 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 3: Scott Drew doesn't get that crowd. No he doesn't, No, 296 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 3: he doesn't. I mean, Scott Drew, people will be excited, 297 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 3: but he doesn't get that crowd. No, no, I mean 298 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 3: like it needed Mark Pope to get that crowd in 299 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 3: some ways. Don't you think Bruce Pearl doesn't get that crowd? 300 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 3: He just doesn't. 301 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 5: Like that was a unique thing to what Mark Pope did. 302 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 4: And it's like we've kind of alluded to because we 303 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 4: feel like he's one of us. He gets it like 304 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 4: we get it. He gets it, he understands what a 305 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 4: man means to be a UK basketball fan. And I 306 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 4: think that came across yesterday. 307 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 3: Well I loved it. I mean, now that'll rank up 308 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 3: there amongst my favorite memories. Yeah, I mean really well 309 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 3: that and if you were there, I feel bad for 310 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 3: the people that couldn't get in that. I do feel 311 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 3: bad for that if you came and couldn't get in, 312 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 3: But for everybody else that was perfect. And the amount 313 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 3: of people who said to me, this is my first 314 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 3: time in Rupperene, I mean, how cool, what a great time? 315 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: Well you picked a great time.

Yesterday 476 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 3: was the best recruiting video Kentucky could have ever made 477 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 3: for the new regime. I don't even do recruiting anymore. Okay, 478 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 3: I don't know.

Smith personal injury attorney called TJ. 512 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 3: He'll make them pay. 513 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 4: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage. 514 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones come back. Take you Sports Radio Text 515 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 3: Machine seventy seven two seven seven four five two five 516 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 3: four one person rights. Matt, I want you to be honest. 517 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 3: You copied your shoes after Mario yesterday. I'm sure you 518 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 3: had the same ones on. First of all, that was 519 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 3: a complete coincidence. He showed up at my house in 520 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 3: the same pair of shoes I did, and I almost changed, 521 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 3: but I said, you know what, I'm not letting this 522 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 3: twenty two year old tell me what I can wear. 523 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 5: But it did mean we were matching yesterday. 524 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 4: You've got three hundred pairs of shoes in your house. 525 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: But I was born Kentucky blue. I was trying to 526 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 3: do something. 527 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 4: You'll have any other blue and white ones? You want 528 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 4: to be like Mario? 529 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 3: Maybe so it needed to. That's just how it ended 530 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 3: up being. We have some breaking news. Shannon running on 531 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 3: AH within two minutes of each other. 532 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 5: Both of these announcements. 533 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 3: Boogie Flann has deep committed and is asking for his release, 534 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 3: and DJ Wagner to the portal. 535 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 5: Look, as I said, you just gotta assume everybody's gonna go. 536 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 3: Yes, this is going with the exception of Travis Perry, 537 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: I'm assuming it's a complete reset. If anybody stays, that's 538 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 3: the way it goes. I expect Wagner to go to Arkansas. 539 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 3: He should because he's very his dad, very close to 540 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,959 Speaker 3: cow that I would expect him to do that. Boogie 541 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 3: Flann same way. But it also is probably the case, Drew, 542 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 3: that those two things got announced at the same time. 543 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,239 Speaker 3: I would say that's probably intentional on the part of 544 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 3: our former coach after the events of yesterday. 545 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 2: That's a move going way back. If there's a little 546 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 2: bad news somewhere, maybe another school gets a commitment the 547 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 2: next day you have one announced. But you know we 548 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 2: expected that to happen. He's got his own thing going 549 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 2: on over there. They might follow him, but that doesn't 550 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 2: change the excitement around Lexton. And you know Pope's got 551 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 2: a meeting with big Z come out. I mean, for 552 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 2: style of play, big Z should really hear him out, 553 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 2: consider staying So. 554 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 3: By the way, UK is gonna have radio shows. Kenny Brooks, 555 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 3: the new women's coach, is doing a show at six. 556 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 3: Mark Pope is doing a show at seven, so he's 557 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 3: gonna do his official radio show, and then Nick minji 558 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 3: on at eight. And I got to mention Nick MinJe 559 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 3: O on they wept Auburn. They are now fourteen and one, 560 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 3: in sole possession of first place for the SEC, best 561 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 3: start in the SEC play in the history of the school. 562 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 3: And next weekend they're gonna host Tennessee. Right here, Tennessee 563 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 3: is fourth in the country. We are seventh in the country. 564 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 3: It'll be as big a series. And then in two 565 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 3: weeks we host the number one team in America, Arkansas. 566 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 3: So if you've ever wanted to go to a UK 567 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 3: baseball game, I think they're almost sold out. So if 568 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 3: you want to go this weekend, I would go ahead 569 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 3: and get those tickets. But maybe the biggest Kentucky baseball 570 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 3: series in a long long time this weekend against Tennessee. 571 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: They got bumped to third this morning by d one Baseball. 572 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: Third in the country. 573 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 5: Kentucky. 574 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 2: Yep, wow, I'll be over there a Kentucky proud, third 575 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 2: in the country.

Uh to me, Uh, the 587 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 3: cow era was great. 588 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 6: The cow Era was like buying a new para tennis shoes, 589 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 6: how they feel good and flashy. Uh, yesterday felt like 590 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 6: pulling your letterman jacket out from your high school years 591 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 6: and putting it on and just feeling that nostalgia and 592 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 6: how times were better. And I don't know it, just 593 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 6: it just gave me all the chills. I tried to 594 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 6: get in and call yesterday, but the postgame show was great. 595 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 5: I just, you know, wanted to put my two cents. No, 596 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 5: I agree with that, and look, they've got to win. 597 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 5: I appreciate the call. 598 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 3: Like all this great nostalgia won't matter if we stink, 599 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 3: but like if we win. In some ways, it feels 600 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 3: like it'll feel better to win like this with one 601 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 3: of our own. You know, Ali Tucker, who used to 602 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 3: write for KSR a long time ago, one of the 603 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: funniest people that I've ever known. She wrote this, and 604 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 3: I think this is a really good summary of it. 605 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 3: She said, it kind of feels like we traded being 606 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 3: cool for getting our soul back. And I'm okay with 607 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 3: that trade. And I kind of agree with you. You know 608 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 3: that happens actually when you get older, like you kind 609 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 3: of try to be cool and whatever, and then at 610 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 3: some point you go, well, I just am who I am, 611 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 3: and then you just are that person in a lot 612 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 3: of ways. I think this it was kind of Kentucky 613 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 3: getting their soul back. I think Drew that's a really 614 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 3: good way to put it. 615 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's you know, it's hard to have these 616 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 2: conversations and not be negative about what we had. 617 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 5: I really don't want to do that either. 618 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: H But like I kind of liked when he was 619 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 2: he brought up the NBA, as we have recently, but 620 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 2: he did it a little differently, and I liked he said, 621 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 2: I played in the league for ten years. You know 622 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 2: what we talked about in the locker room, our college 623 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: basketball teams. So he's making that NBA connection where you 624 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 2: can still use that at recruiting, but he's still keeping 625 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 2: it on Kentucky and college basketball. 626 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 5: Ran what about this line? This was for me. 627 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 3: Of all the lines he said the whole time, this 628 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 3: was the one that stood out the most. Players are 629 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 3: not doing the jerseys a favor by letting them clothe them. 630 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 3: Our guys will know, click quick, it's one of the 631 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 3: great honors of their life to wear that jersey. Now, 632 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 3: I mean objectively, that's the exact opposite opinion of cal 633 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 3: Cal's opinion is we are lucky to have these guys. 634 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 3: Mark's opinion is they are lucky to be here. That's 635 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 3: a completely different philosophy. But I also think it's probably 636 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 3: the philosophy that's more aligned with this fan base. 637 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 4: Yes it is. I loved it when you know, Mark 638 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 4: held up his jerseys and this is what I sweat, 639 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 4: blood and tears poured into this jersey. I know what 640 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 4: it means to put this jersey on, and he'll now 641 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 4: be able to relate that to the players that he 642 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 4: brings into this program. And that's what you know, Like 643 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 4: you guys said, we can't erase or forget what Cal 644 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 4: did for this program. It was awesome, It was fantastic. 645 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 4: It was But now we have a guy that that 646 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 4: is one of us. And that's why I think we're 647 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 4: so excited. 648 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 3: And I think we I think we have to show 649 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 3: these former players for Cal some grace. 650 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's gonna take them a little while to 651 00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 5: get used to this. Right. 652 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 3: They were kind of sold one thing when they came here, right, 653 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 3: and this is different, and so give them the grace 654 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 3: to kind of work through it. I know DeMarcus said 655 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 3: some stuff I put up. I disagreed with one of 656 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 3: his comments, and then I listened to full context and 657 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 3: he does still say we a lot. 658 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 5: I disagree. 659 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 3: Arkansas is not gonna be on TV more than us 660 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 3: like that that's not gonna happen. But with that said, 661 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 3: he has a right to that opinion. They'll come around. 662 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 3: As I said to somebody the other day, you know what, 663 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 3: some of them might make trips to Fayetteville in the 664 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 3: next three or four years, but in ten years they'll 665 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 3: be back here. 666 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 5: Like they're not gonna Fayetville. 667 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 3: Is not gonna be their long term home, even if 668 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 3: it's a short term pit stop. 669 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 5: What's next? Zach Zach. How are you Zach? Hey? 670 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 7: Amen, I'm good. How are you? 671 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 3: Man? 672 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 5: Doing good? So I heard him. 673 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 8: Say a quote something to the extent of like this 674 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 8: leads to depression and something it. 675 00:29:54,840 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 3: Really said, entitlement leads to depression and sorrow, gratitude leads 676 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 3: to joy. I've never heard that quote, and it applies 677 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 3: to a lot more than basketball, and I just thought that. 678 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 5: I actually thought that was a beautiful quote. 679 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 8: To be honest, Well, somebody put a picture of cal 680 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 8: It can really depress. It's that under it and it 681 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 8: really spoke life. But today's not about him. 682 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 5: Let's go forward. 683 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 8: The other thing was, with all this money we're getting 684 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 8: in from Inile, allegedly, with all these new donors and sponsors, 685 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 8: is there a legal sent to maybe investing that some 686 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 8: of it and making it a collective fund to replenish 687 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 8: next year. 688 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know whether I'm. 689 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 3: Not sure, Like when you say I don't know, and 690 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 3: I appreciate the call. The four million dollars upfront in 691 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 3: ale investment, that doesn't mean it's all going to get 692 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 3: spent this year. I mean, if you ask people, most 693 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 3: people believe that the most money spent on inisle last 694 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 3: year by collectives was between it was about three million dollars, 695 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 3: So it may not be the case they need to 696 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 3: spend it all this year. I trust the people whose 697 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 3: money it is will know how to spend their own money. 698 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 3: They don't need me to tell them. But what that 699 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 3: said to me, he drew, is that we're gonna be 700 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 3: able to get players. Now you still don't just overpay 701 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 3: for people, right, but that we will be able to 702 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 3: get players and make a very competitive roster this year. 703 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 2: And at least from my seat in the fan base 704 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 2: last week, that was my probably only concern with Mark Pope, 705 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: and it's a big concern. But as you said, the 706 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: moment they got that four million dollar pledge and then 707 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 2: seeing what we saw yesterday, I think Pope's gonna be 708 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 2: all right going out on that recruiting trail. Even if 709 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 2: he doesn't have a lot of experience all over the country, 710 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 2: it's mostly been in Utah. 711 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 5: He can go to. 712 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 2: About anyone with that video and then whatever check book 713 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: he has in his backpar. 714 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 3: So, now the question is staff, and here's what I'm 715 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 3: hearing on staff, So you can now technically have five 716 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 3: people on staff. I think four of them are assistant coaches, 717 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 3: and one of them is in some sort of operations. 718 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 3: As I understand it, he's bringing an assistant coach from 719 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 3: BYU that's been with him for a long time. I 720 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 3: don't know who that person is, but that's kind of 721 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 3: gonna be like his guy that he does x's and o's. 722 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 3: Then he has an analytics guy that's kind of his. 723 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 3: He's like a young dude. I saw a picture of 724 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 3: him and he's like the mathematical analytic savant. 725 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 5: So there's three spots. What I think they are going after. 726 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 5: One person that would be a heck of again and 727 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 5: I'll just leave it at that. 728 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 3: We'll see if it happens. But there's one person there 729 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 3: going after that would be and everybody would know who 730 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 3: it is. 731 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 5: That's a heck of again. 732 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 3: And then there's a couple where I think they're looking 733 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 3: for one elite young recruiter. And then I don't know 734 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 3: what they're gonna do with the other spot. I know 735 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 3: there is a desire for people at UK to have 736 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's in an assistant spot or 737 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 3: a grad assistant spot, but they would like to have 738 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 3: someone else with a UK connection, maybe even someone with 739 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 3: a COW connection. 740 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 5: Because they would like to keep that col thing going. 741 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 3: But I don't know if that will be as an 742 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 3: assistant or a grad assistant, but I do think you'll 743 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 3: see a desire to try to get one of those. 744 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 3: But I think the idea is Mark's got one that's his. 745 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 3: They're going after a big name. We'll see if it 746 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 3: happens an ACE recruiter and then somebody else. But remember 747 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 3: when Cal was here, we felt like we need to 748 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 3: go get an X and O coach. I think the 749 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 3: theory is Mark's are X and O coach Mark's and 750 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 3: the now we got to go find a recruiter because 751 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 3: the X and O is Mark and this dude he's 752 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 3: bringing Ryan from b Way. 753 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 4: Can you explain the tyler Ulis situation. 754 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 3: He cannot be he cannot be a grad assistant. You 755 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 3: could hire him as an assistant coach, but the role 756 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 3: he was in, which is grad assistant, which is what 757 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 3: he was in for the last two years, he could 758 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 3: only do that for two years. That would have been 759 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 3: true even if Cal had stayed. So he so like 760 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 3: he can't be in the same role. 761 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 2: Now there's a lot of UK coaches people would like 762 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 2: to see out there. If Pope goes that route you got. 763 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 2: Scott Paget was at Mississippi State. John Pelfrey's out there, 764 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 2: he's been a head coach. Didn't have a great run 765 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 2: here recently. In a name I'll throw out there. If 766 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 2: they ever create like a GM position, bring me Nazi 767 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 2: Muhammad to just oversee things with his NBA ties. Everyone 768 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 2: loves Nazzy. He has so many connections. Yeah, he's got 769 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 2: a son. That's a pretty high profile recruit. I'd love 770 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 2: to give Nazzy some. 771 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 5: Kind he wanted a GM. By the way. 772 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 3: The other thing is if you've graduated from UK, you 773 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 3: can be a graduate assistant, but if you have it, 774 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 3: you can't. So there's some guys being mentioned like man, 775 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 3: I'd love to have this guy. I'd love to have 776 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 3: this guy. You have to have your degree in order 777 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 3: to be a graduate assistant, so that's important to remember 778 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 3: guys who haven't yet gret like like for instance, I 779 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 3: think UK would love to have John Wall, but I 780 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 3: don't know that John Wall has his degree yet. If 781 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 3: he does, then I guess you could, but like you 782 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 3: can't just you still have to have that to get 783 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 3: those roles. 784 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 5: It's a graduate assistant. 785 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 4: I want to ask you one more thing. You mentioned 786 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 4: the nil money. You tweeted something out that after our 787 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 4: show Friday. 788 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, let me talk about that when we'll come back. 789 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 5: Remind me when we come back. 790 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 3: UK Federal Credit Union is the official credit union of 791 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 3: the University of Kentucky, Award winning Best place to Work, 792 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 3: serving the University of Kentucky for over one hundred and 793 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 3: eighty six years.

Membership eligibility required, it's federally ensured by NCUA. 795 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 3: It's banking only better at UK Federal Credit Union.

We had 803 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 3: the segment right after cal was gone, and it beats after. 804 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 5: The National Championship. Wow, most streamed segment of all time. 805 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 3: So that gives you a sense the Club Blue Nil, 806 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 3: which is the nil So I know the anile thing 807 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 3: is confusing you. You have the fifteen Club, which is 808 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 3: primarily the football one, and then you have Club Blue, 809 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 3: which is primarily the basketball one. Although they both do 810 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 3: stuff for the other sport, they kind of each have 811 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 3: their roles. Club Blue took five hundred new monthly subscribers 812 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,760 Speaker 3: in the twenty minutes after Barnhardt's interview. 813 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 4: That's amazing, that really happy face. 814 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 3: If those people stay for the entire year, that's one 815 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand dollars in twenty minute. Wow, that's 816 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 3: pretty good. And to be honest, their website wasn't ready 817 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 3: for it because it cracked, I mean giving a sense 818 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 3: of how exciting things were. To be honest with you, 819 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 3: this restaurant yesterday was not ready. We had its staff 820 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 3: for a normal Sunday, and all of a sudden, the 821 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 3: entire state came in here. So if you came, it 822 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 3: was very slow yesterday. We apologize, but I still our 823 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 3: servers and everybody worked as hard as they possibly could. 824 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 5: We were not staff for what happened yesterday because. 825 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 3: We only had two days notice that it was going 826 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 3: into But thank you for everyone that came, and I 827 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 3: heard the vast majority of you were patient, So thank 828 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 3: you for that. 829 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 5: The other thing is. 830 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 3: Everyone is coming out of the woodwork to try to 831 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 3: be a part of this meaning. But not just I 832 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 3: mentioned the players donors. You are going to see an 833 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 3: influx of donations, the likes of which you haven't before. 834 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna get into the cow donor situation. A 835 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 3: lot of stuff online that I've seen that has been 836 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 3: accepted as fact, it's just false. 837 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 5: I'm not gonna. I don't want to get into all that. 838 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter at this point, but safe to say this, 839 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 3: the issue was not just an issue with one group 840 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 3: of people. 841 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 5: It wouldn't you agree, Drew. 842 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 3: It was an issue with a lot of groups of people, 843 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 3: and those groups of people now feel back on board. 844 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 3: And I think you're gonna see it would not shot me. 845 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,280 Speaker 3: Within a few months we hear about a practice facility, 846 00:37:55,320 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 3: which probably would make Cal's head explode, but I probably 847 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 3: I think that will, But it wouldn't shot me. I'm 848 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 3: not saying that's definitely gonna happen, but it wouldn't. It 849 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 3: wouldn't shot me. Who's next, Richard? 850 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:08,720 Speaker 5: What's up? Richard? 851 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 7: Well, I'm glad to have one of us coaching Kentucky. 852 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 5: Yep. 853 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 7: If Pope is if Pope is half the coaches he 854 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 7: was a player, he'll win lead this team to a 855 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 7: national championship. I'm happy far him. I loved him as 856 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 7: a player. I loved that ninety six team. And I'm 857 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,439 Speaker 7: just so thrill fine. I'd like to see him pick 858 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 7: up one of these old Kentuckians to help him coach, 859 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 7: maybe be even maybe even Jeff Shepard. 860 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 3: And I don't think and I say this with respect 861 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 3: to old Kentuckians. Mark Pope can coach. He doesn't need 862 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 3: help for many old Kentuckians. The excellent. 863 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 7: What I mean is just for the looks. 864 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 3: You know what, well we got the looks. We got 865 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 3: our former player. We don't need, I mean, we don't 866 00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 3: want to. We need people who can now add to 867 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 3: the program. And I appreciate it. Richard, this this Mark 868 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 3: Pope is an X and O guy. Gotta be careful 869 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 3: how I say this, But Mark Pope is an X 870 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 3: and O guys. Is better than Col's an X and 871 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 3: O guy. Now. Is he as good a motivator, we'll see. 872 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 3: Is he as good a recruiter? Probably not, But when 873 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,399 Speaker 3: it comes to X and o's I'm good like he's 874 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 3: gonna be fine. The question for me is getting players 875 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 3: motivating and all the other stuff, because when it comes 876 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 3: to drawing plays. Go watch his offense. It's better than 877 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,959 Speaker 3: anything we've seen Ryan in a long time. 878 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,280 Speaker 4: And that's what we talked about briefly. It's almost perfect 879 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 4: for guys like big Z. You know, they play five out, 880 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,879 Speaker 4: a guy can step outside and shoot the basketball. It's 881 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 4: designed for guys like him. 882 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,839 Speaker 2: Also, like how he's I mean, here we go again, 883 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 2: but like he specifically said, in game adjustments, like that's 884 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do. We know that's been an issue recently. 885 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 2: And the analytics guy you mentioned, I read a story 886 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 2: about him. He paid his own way to show with 887 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 2: b YU and knock on the door with like stats 888 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 2: and stuff he'd already looked up and Pope just took 889 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,439 Speaker 2: him on to show the hard work and the fire 890 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 2: that guy has if that's the one he brings. So, 891 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 2: I mean, they definitely have the mindset to be a good, 892 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 2: excellent you're. 893 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 3: At all worried about X and o's, which I don't 894 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 3: think you should be, but if you are, Kelvin Sampson 895 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 3: is the best defensive coach in the country year in 896 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 3: and year out. Houston is defensively the best. Go watch 897 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:28,720 Speaker 3: Kelvin Samson talking about BYU's offense. He basically says, nobody 898 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 3: else does this in the country, and it is the 899 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 3: hardest thing to defend that we do. 900 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 4: That's a good endorsement. 901 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 3: That's a pretty good endorsement because you know, Kelvin Sampson's 902 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 3: offenses are shaky sometimes, but he always has an unbelievable 903 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 3: defense and has forever in his entire career of coaching. 904 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 5: Who's next, go to Tyler Tyler, Go ahead, Tyler. 905 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 9: Hey, matt Ron Shannon, Drew Shannon. I hope you and 906 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,399 Speaker 9: your family's doing good. Can somebody tell me has Drew 907 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 9: worked off five days? Since he's be on five days? 908 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 8: I swear. 909 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 9: I think he takes like three days off a week. 910 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 2: I would like for you to name those days, sir. 911 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,799 Speaker 2: I've taken two days off in months, to be fair, 912 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,359 Speaker 2: he went to the Masters for two days. I think 913 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,280 Speaker 2: he's worked pretty much every day consistently. 914 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 5: Besides that. 915 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 3: Now, if you want to time, if you want to 916 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 3: talk to Ryan, that might be different. But I think 917 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 3: Drew has done his thing. 918 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 9: The last thing is me and my wife and my 919 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 9: two year old went through rough yesterday. Man, you hit 920 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 9: the nail on the head all these people have it's 921 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 9: a grown man tears. But the most thing I'm proud 922 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:35,840 Speaker 9: of is the fact that whenever you ask your question, man, everybody. 923 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:36,359 Speaker 8: Started cheering for you. 924 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 9: Because you deserve it. Man. Everything you've sacrificed being from 925 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 9: southeast Kentucky and you deserve it, man, one hundred percent. 926 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 9: Everything everything that's went on, all the crap that's been 927 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 9: talked about you, if you deserve it, and if you 928 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 9: ever need anything, man, you come down to Lone in 929 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 9: Kentucky and we'll take care of you. 930 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 5: By God, that's very nice. Thank you very much. I 931 00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 5: appreciate it. 932 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 3: It. Did you know? That'll be one of those that 933 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 3: I'll remember for a long time. That didn't mean a lot, 934 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 3: and it's because I didn't see it coming. And then 935 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 3: Drew made fun of me the entire just sitting there 936 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 3: laughing at me the whole time. 937 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 5: While after this year. 938 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 3: We will take a break and we will come back 939 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,760 Speaker 3: our number two beautiful day here at Ksbar. 940 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 5: It's Kentucky Sports Radio.
