Speaker 2: be blue because of Kentucky.
Speaker 3: To have this black and green, I think that's a.
Speaker 6: Very good It's not just a green, it's almost like
Speaker 6: a neon type of green. I don't know what you
Speaker 6: would call that color. No, it's it's it's sharp looking.

Speaker 2: to those games. I've been to those games. Like when
Speaker 2: it gets it can be. It's a really great atmosphere.
Speaker 5: This stadium, like it holds like seventy five hundred people,
Speaker 5: So how awesome would it be? To come out here
Speaker 5: and pack it.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna try to fill it up for their opening
Speaker 5: opening match a week from tomorrow.
Speaker 6: It's like the soccer like fan. The etiquette's a little
Speaker 6: bit different too when it comes to being a that's right, yeah, babies,
Speaker 6: any babies? Ryan at soccer matches like this, Yeah, there should.
Speaker 2: Be Well not according to Ryan, but I think this
Speaker 2: is a This is a great family sport to come to.
Speaker 5: So they gotta have a pitch out here for kids.
Speaker 5: You run up by, look at this. Yeah, how did
Speaker 5: you know?
Speaker 6: Pitch?
Speaker 5: That's what they called it when I took the tour
Speaker 5: and said we had a little pitch over here for
Speaker 5: the kids.
Speaker 6: Terminology you were you knew not.
Speaker 3: I thought you would say field, you knew not just
Speaker 3: you knew to say pitch.
Speaker 5: I probably would have called it field, But they called
Speaker 5: it a pitch to me, So it's a pitch out there.
Speaker 3: It's a pitch out there.
Speaker 2: So again, Lex Sporting dot Com Promo co k Sr
Speaker 2: Will be out here all day. And that merchandise shop
Speaker 2: is that open like just regular? That is a really
Speaker 2: nice merchandise shop. I'm a big merch guy, so it
Speaker 2: looks it looks Great Cats tomorrow, ready for three games
Speaker 2: left in the season. This is I mean, the number
Speaker 2: one team in America's coming in here, right, probably the
Speaker 2: favorites to win the national Championship, coming into Rupperita at
Speaker 2: one o'clock.
Speaker 3: I think we're all.
Speaker 2: Still so excited after the Oklahoma win that I don't
Speaker 2: know if everybody's processing the best team in the country's
Speaker 2: coming in here tomorrow one o'clock on ABC.
Speaker 3: I think I said the other night, when's the last
Speaker 3: time we played on ABC? It turns out it wasn't
Speaker 3: that long ago.
Speaker 2: We played when we played in London, England against Michigan.
Speaker 3: That game was on ABC. But before that, would.
Speaker 2: You like to know the last regular season game we
Speaker 2: played on ABC?
Speaker 5: I can't think it was. Well, it's gotta be a
Speaker 5: long time.
Speaker 2: It was the final game of the White Chocolate Era
Speaker 2: at Florida when he came in here and lit us
Speaker 2: up and they got kicked off the team a couple
Speaker 2: days later.
Speaker 5: Do you remember that, Oh, that's the Cameron Mills game.
Speaker 5: Cameron had like twenty seven, but Jason Williams had like
Speaker 5: thirty three.
Speaker 2: Yes, Jason Williams was one of the best games against
Speaker 2: Kentucky ever, but we will play tomorrow on ABC.
Speaker 3: It might be the first college.
Speaker 2: But well game they've won of only couple they've shown
Speaker 2: this year. Kentucky and Auburn, how you feeling it?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 5: We said this when they went down and played at Alabama.
Speaker 5: I think feel like Kentucky Toayon, won't. They're comp playing
Speaker 5: with house money. You know, nobody's expecting them to win
Speaker 5: this game. Auburn is really really good, so you can
Speaker 5: go out there and play loose. Maybe you don't surprise them.
Speaker 5: You get hot, you can surprise somebody.
Speaker 2: I actually think, Drew, we have a better chance of
Speaker 2: winning this game than I thought we had at Alabama.
Speaker 2: The different even though I think Auburn's a better team,
Speaker 2: you were on the road. That makes it much harder.
Speaker 2: You were without two starters, whereas in theory you might
Speaker 2: play with those guys tomorrow.
Speaker 3: And there is a rough advantage.
Speaker 2: There's going to be an advantage too, especially if Kentucky
Speaker 2: gets up, gets going early.
Speaker 3: That crowd will be buzzing and it'll be ready to go.
Speaker 2: So I think what we were a twelve and a
Speaker 2: half point underdog at Alabama, I think that number is
Speaker 2: gonna be much lower tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, at Auburn obviously very good. What they've done and
Speaker 4: maybe the best conference ever this year is amazing. There
Speaker 4: are only two losses or the duke in Florida, who
Speaker 4: I'll add Kentucky beat.
Speaker 3: Both of those.
Speaker 4: But I'm not at all surrendering this game. I think
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a great game. I think it's gonna
Speaker 4: come down to the end. Like you said, the crowd
Speaker 4: will be a factor, but having Butler back appears to
Speaker 4: be good enough to you know, go full speed as
Speaker 4: long the stand of foul, trouble and whatever you get
Speaker 4: out of Robinson. I like Kentucky to keep it close,
Speaker 4: maybe and win this game. Broom's probably the best player
Speaker 4: in college basketball, but Kentucky's one of only a few
Speaker 4: sec rosters where if you have any form of what
Speaker 4: you had of Garrison the other night, he and Williams
Speaker 4: might be able to contend with him in a Cardwell.
Speaker 2: Inside, my worry about the game is honestly a depth worry.
Speaker 2: Auburn goes nine or ten deep, and when they bring
Speaker 2: them in, you know, they don't have a huge drop off,
Speaker 2: like guys come in off the bench and they're still good.
Speaker 3: They come at you in waves. Broom is the most famous,
Speaker 3: but they got eight nine guys that can play.
Speaker 2: So I actually worry about I always worry about our
Speaker 2: line changes shit, but I especially worry about him in
Speaker 2: this game because he get our second best against their
Speaker 2: second best. Could be a really ugly thing. So I
Speaker 2: think that's gonna be The key is weathering the waves
Speaker 2: that Auburn can bring you.
Speaker 6: That is one hundred percent at the waves. They just
Speaker 6: keep hitting you, and you know, like you said, you
Speaker 6: go to the bench, there's no drop off at all.
Speaker 6: Do we know what Jackson Robinson's situation is, because I'm
Speaker 6: kind of concerned about whether or not he's healthy enough
Speaker 6: to play.
Speaker 3: I have no This is with no inside right, this
Speaker 3: is just a guess.
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll get a text message tonight that'll say
Speaker 2: one way or the other.
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't shot me if he sits out.
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that he, you know, had to
Speaker 2: leave in the second half this game being what it is.
Speaker 2: Mark Pope's a smart guy. He knows we gotta beat
Speaker 2: LSU Tuesday, right, and like, so you got to make
Speaker 2: sure you do that. I could see Ryan him taking
Speaker 2: this game off, but if you're Jackson Robinson man, you
Speaker 2: came to college to play in a game like this,
Speaker 2: so it may be going.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm playing the number one team in the country.
Speaker 3: I want to.
Speaker 6: Play see that.
Speaker 5: That was gonna be my point. I think that they
Speaker 5: kind of talking old Jackson. He's gonna want to play
Speaker 5: number one team in the country. You already beat Florida
Speaker 5: at home in Tennessee at home. They're thinking they can
Speaker 5: beat Auburn at home. So I think he'll probably do
Speaker 5: everything he can try to go on the court, at
Speaker 5: least a little bit.
Speaker 4: I think so too. Second to last home game, respectfully,
Speaker 4: elis you really the last one with a whole lot
Speaker 4: of juice that I think the guys have had circled
Speaker 4: on the calendar for a while. So if he's able,
Speaker 4: I don't see any scenario or he would want to
Speaker 4: rest for you know, LSU and Missouri when you have
Speaker 4: the number one team in the country in front of what.
Speaker 6: We can have it though, is he coming and you know,
Speaker 6: get that hand aggravated again and then you have them
Speaker 6: out longer into the tournament. I think it's more important
Speaker 6: to rest him tomorrow and have them ready to go
Speaker 6: from March than it is.
Speaker 3: I don't know that. I mean, that can happen at
Speaker 3: any point.
Speaker 6: Sure, but it's more likely to happen, you know what
Speaker 6: I mean. I'm just saying the more you play on
Speaker 6: the more likely it is to happen for him to
Speaker 6: reaggravate that. I would rather that happen, you know, maybe
Speaker 6: in March instead of before we get to the tournament.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen his diagnosis, so I mean, like I
Speaker 2: don't I'm sure they're doing whatever they think is best
Speaker 2: for him.
Speaker 3: I do see.
Speaker 2: Drew's point is that, like you don't get to playing
Speaker 2: games such as.
Speaker 3: This very often, you don't get a lot of number
Speaker 3: one action.
Speaker 2: The other thing is this game is if you could win,
Speaker 2: is a lot at stake for Kentucky. I mean, if
Speaker 2: you win, then you take all possibility of you playing
Speaker 2: on Wednesday out of the way. If you win, you're
Speaker 2: gonna probably have a really good chance of playing your
Speaker 2: way out of the eight seed.
Speaker 3: You can move to the five, six, or seven so
Speaker 3: that you don't.
Speaker 2: Have to play Auburn maybe until the finals of the
Speaker 2: SEC tournament. If you were to make it, and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you have a path that looks more
Speaker 2: manageable in the SEC tournament.
Speaker 3: If you win, I think you're as sure to four seed.
Speaker 2: And maybe a three seed, and maybe you're playing for
Speaker 2: a two seed, Drew. If you win, I mean you
Speaker 2: if you beat Auburn, and you add that to the list.
Speaker 3: So let's just imagine we were to beat Auburn. Let's
Speaker 3: look at our resume.
Speaker 2: We were beating Auburn, Duke, and Florida, three of the
Speaker 2: five favorites to win the national championship, and we would
Speaker 2: have beaten three of them, right, and we would.
Speaker 3: Have been up ten on the road against the fourth one.
Speaker 2: So you all of a sudden are looking at maybe
Speaker 2: a two seed in the NCAA tournament. So you win
Speaker 2: this game, there's a whole bunch of doors that open up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you add another to Pope's record of beating top
Speaker 4: fifteen teams, which is already crazy this year that he's
Speaker 4: won so many of those. And at that point, when
Speaker 4: you do get the NCAA bracket, everyone will be a
Speaker 4: team you're afraid of because you're gonna have beaten most
Speaker 4: of the top seeds outside of Alabama. You've played all
Speaker 4: of them well, even going to Tennessee, who you've swept,
Speaker 4: Who's gonna be one of the top, you know, maybe
Speaker 4: a two to three seed, depending how they finish. It's
Speaker 4: just you'll you'll have so much confidence knowing that you've
Speaker 4: already done it and they're able to do it again.
Speaker 2: I was asked by radio show Ryan to you know,
Speaker 2: I I've kind of like I always picked one of
Speaker 2: these five will win the title. Yeah, and sort of guarantee.
Speaker 2: I was trying to think who my five are. I
Speaker 2: know Auburn's gonna be one. I know Duke's gonna be one.
Speaker 2: I know Houston's gonna be one. Like, those three are
Speaker 2: definitely gonna be on my list. I'm probably gonna put
Speaker 2: Alabama as one too, even though their defensive metrics are
Speaker 2: lower than most titled contender are. But then I'm sitting
Speaker 2: there trying to think about the fifth, and you look
Speaker 2: at the contenders for the fifth Florida, we've played, Tennessee,
Speaker 2: we've played you know, you start to go, wait a minute,
Speaker 2: outside of Houston, all these teams that can win the
Speaker 2: national championship, we've already played them, So we shouldn't really
Speaker 2: be scared of anybody out there because we've played the
Speaker 2: best teams in America.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the other like potential two seeds Wisconsin, Michigan,
Speaker 5: Iowa State.
Speaker 3: They I mean, I'm not scared of you any of those.
Speaker 2: I honestly, if you told me Kentucky plays Wisconsin or
Speaker 2: Iowa State and we're healthy, I'd pick us on.
Speaker 3: A neutral court.
Speaker 2: I think i'd pick us over Michigan, to be honest
Speaker 2: with you, on a neutral court. So it's gonna be
Speaker 2: weird going into the tournament because we've been up and down.
Speaker 3: But for the first time in.
Speaker 2: My life, unless we see Auburn in our bracket, I
Speaker 2: don't know that I'm gonna be scared of any.
Speaker 3: Of these teams. I'm not even scared of Auburn. I
Speaker 3: just would rather not play them.
Speaker 4: Also, Kentucky's losses have been in true road rons. You've
Speaker 4: only have Missouri of that left. Then it's too neutrals,
Speaker 4: where Kentucky will probably have the best crowd at most places.
Speaker 4: So you put that aspect aside too, And I just
Speaker 4: I'm feeling good about tomorrow, to be honest. Maybe they
Speaker 4: don't win it, maybe they won't. I think they're gonna
Speaker 4: be in it. And as I said, if you just
Speaker 4: if they are able to pull that off, you won't
Speaker 4: be afraid of anyone moving forward.
Speaker 2: For anyway, before sec plates started, if you had told
Speaker 2: me we were full of healthy, I thought we'd win tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 2: I thought that's the kind of game that we get
Speaker 2: in rup with the crowd. Now we're not fully healthy,
Speaker 2: so I'm not and they're probably a little better than
Speaker 2: I thought they were gonna be. But still I think
Speaker 2: we have a great chance. I thought we had no
Speaker 2: chance last week against Alabama. I actually think we have
Speaker 2: a great chance of winning tomorrow. If I'm nine two
Speaker 2: eight zero twenty two eighty seven, the text machine is
Speaker 2: seven seven two seven to seven four five two five four.
Speaker 3: We are here at Lexington Sporting What's the name.

Speaker 3: Did you write this song?
Speaker 6: I did. We actually wrote this song fifteen years ago
Speaker 6: and just got around to recording it last year. So
Speaker 6: this is something that I wrote when I was in
Speaker 6: my twentiesh wait, till long ago.
Speaker 3: That's kind of cool. I just got it. So you
Speaker 3: wrote this when you were in your twenties. What's it about?
Speaker 6: I'd rather not say. I want, you know, I want
Speaker 6: there to be some mystique about it, so you you
Speaker 6: can look at the lyrics and you can tell me
Speaker 6: what you think it's about. And whatever you think it is,
Speaker 6: that's what it's about.
Speaker 3: That like, is that the cool singor thing to do?
Speaker 3: Not say?
Speaker 6: Well, well, you know, like you know, I don't ever
Speaker 6: like my songs to be ruined like songs that I
Speaker 6: grew up listening to. I wo'd rather not know what
Speaker 6: they're about and have my own kind of version of
Speaker 6: what I think it is.
Speaker 3: So you wrote it fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2: When you went back to it, did you still feel
Speaker 2: the things that you felt fifteen years ago or were
Speaker 2: you like looking at a different person?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think I probably felt some of
Speaker 6: the same same things that I did back then, and
Speaker 6: then going back and re recording it, you know, we
Speaker 6: had like a really crappy recording of it.
Speaker 3: OK.
Speaker 6: So then we went to an actual professional studio to
Speaker 6: record this one. So it was it was really cool going.
Speaker 3: On your first original song.
Speaker 6: That we recorded, Yes for you right awesome around h Yeah,
Speaker 6: that is cool. So seeing it on iTunes this morning
Speaker 6: was really cool.

Speaker 2: December fifth, so Kentucky will play. I hear this is
Speaker 2: gonna be potentially an ABC Network Friday night game where
Speaker 2: Kentucky plays Gonzaga in prime time on a Friday night.
Speaker 3: The thought I was thinking though, is having a game
Speaker 3: in Nashville.
Speaker 2: I mean having a Marque opponent in Nashville in the
Speaker 2: regular season. When's the last time that happened? We've played
Speaker 2: in Nashville, But has it been a Marquee opponent.
Speaker 4: I mean only Vandy trips, and even those until this
Speaker 4: year weren't even on a weekend.
Speaker 3: Nashville non conference opponent.
Speaker 5: No, I can't.
Speaker 3: I think, by the way you, I think that's gonna
Speaker 3: be an amazing atmosphere.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, like you're gonna get like a non rough crowd,
Speaker 2: but close enough where everyone can go on a Friday night.
Speaker 2: I think, Drew, that's got a chance to be a
Speaker 2: wild atmosphere next year.
Speaker 4: Well, you already know my opinion on that. That's on
Speaker 4: the calendar. I got my rooms yesterday, tickets going sell Friday.
Speaker 4: I'll be first in.
Speaker 3: Line for that.
Speaker 4: Tickets going sell Friday in next Friday, March what is
Speaker 4: that seventh le Yeah? Uh at ten o'clock, so I
Speaker 4: might be on my phone during the show to get them.
Speaker 4: But no, I'm so fired up, Like I said, already
Speaker 4: booked it, already got friends, booked it, already counting down
Speaker 4: even though it's next December.
Speaker 3: I have no idea how good. We'll be Ryan.
Speaker 2: I don't have any idea how good Gonzaga will be,
Speaker 2: but just having that game and having it, I think
Speaker 2: that's a great date to have it on a Friday
Speaker 2: night because that'll be the Friday night before conference championship
Speaker 2: weekend the next weekend. So like, you don't want to
Speaker 2: play on Saturday because everybody ignores it, but on Friday
Speaker 2: night you can maybe get an audience there and that
Speaker 2: would be good.
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be an awesome weekend. Have that
Speaker 5: game Friday night that people spend the night and then
Speaker 5: hang out all day and they're blue on Saturday watching
Speaker 5: the football games. You know, Gonzaga beat us at RUP
Speaker 5: and then we beat them at Seattle, so this is
Speaker 5: the rubber game there.
Speaker 3: They beat us twice.
Speaker 5: They beat Oh I forgot about that game, so it's
Speaker 5: not really We.
Speaker 4: Can also wake up drive straight to Atlanta in case
Speaker 4: Kentucky's in the SEC championship. You know, it cuts out
Speaker 4: on the drive to get to Atlanta.
Speaker 3: Week that might have I don't.
Speaker 4: Have high hopes this season for football, but if they
Speaker 4: were to surprise us, we're we're already on our way down.
Speaker 3: So if we were to play for the SEC Championship.
Speaker 3: They'll be there. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I'll be driving anywhere on that Saturday,
Speaker 4: but if someone wants to take me, I'll go.
Speaker 2: Also shout out to the guy in the crowd who
Speaker 2: bought me off Shandon off of TikTok a sweatshirt that
Speaker 2: says I need a diet coch.
Speaker 6: I love that. What a great hoodie. What a great
Speaker 6: hoodie that is off of TikTok. Is that like a
Speaker 6: thing that's trending on there, that's big on TikTok?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but there are many times when I'm grumpy.
Speaker 2: This would be a good show too. Who's up next?
Speaker 3: Matt is up next?
Speaker 2: Matt, go ahead, Matt Hey, Matt.
Speaker 7: Longtime listener called back in twenty thirteen. I just wanted
Speaker 7: to say sorry about walking by talking about breath. This
Speaker 7: season has been just so much fun to share with.
Speaker 7: My son grew up in Likington. Y'all actually talked about
Speaker 7: in a while ago. My dad was the mascot back
Speaker 7: in the seventies. He was on stilts, he was big
Speaker 7: BLUEY did a story about him on to Be a
Speaker 7: Kyt a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did talk about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the guy that was on st was that was
Speaker 2: a different time in UK athletics. Well, I'm glad to
Speaker 2: hear that was your dad.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just and so like you know, the Oklahoma
Speaker 7: oh Way is my son's favorite player, Burden, So he
Speaker 7: had to go to bed as he's he's young. But
Speaker 7: I got him up the next morning and watched the
Speaker 7: last twelve minutes together and just watching him, you know,
Speaker 7: get excited about the inn onet, donk at the game,
Speaker 7: win a shot. Obviously, it's just been real special. I
Speaker 7: don't have any somebody's already got my tickets for the
Speaker 7: Auburn game, but I have Champions Club passes and a
Speaker 7: parking pass I'd love to share with somebody who's going
Speaker 7: to the game. So it'd be like, well, you.
Speaker 3: Can send them to me if you want.
Speaker 2: Matt dot Jones at Kentucky Sports Radio dot com. I'll
Speaker 2: give away any and everything that people send.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: I appreciate the call.
Speaker 2: I haven't gotten a lot because I don't think a
Speaker 2: lot of people are giving away.
Speaker 3: UK All tickets, but if you do, if you want to, I.
Speaker 2: Will certainly give them away to everybody else. We'll take
Speaker 2: a break and come back here Lexi's Party club.
Speaker 3: It's Ksr'm back.
Speaker 2: It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live at Lexington Sporting Club.
Speaker 2: The women's team here is plays on Tomorrow night. Yes,
Speaker 2: so like the men's team play next Saturday, the women's
Speaker 2: team tomorrow night opens up there and well they've already
Speaker 2: played a couple of games here, but they will play
Speaker 2: against Brooklyn FC and they'll be free match posters the
Speaker 2: first three hundred fans their spring home match tomorrow against
Speaker 2: It's it's seven o'clock, so again another time you can
Speaker 2: watch the game.
Speaker 3: During the day and then do that at night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was pretty cool when we had them at
Speaker 4: the at the bar a few months ago. Met some
Speaker 4: of the women's team. They're really nice and excited.
Speaker 3: Okay, they shut out the TJ. Hey, Rick, where how
Speaker 3: thing's going this morning? What are you doing in there?
Speaker 3: Sorry about that? All right? On the one yet? Are you? Yeah? Rick?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: Now we didn't you cut off before I could get there.
Speaker 2: That was Shannon's song. So I'll tell you what I
Speaker 2: let's let's do it again at ten forty and then
Speaker 2: let it play a little bit Rick, Okay, because I
Speaker 2: want people to get to hear all right, sure, all right,
Speaker 2: and then and then Droid do the TJ Smith drop
Speaker 2: right there too. One person writes, Matt leave Rick alone.
Speaker 2: He did not make any caller cry like Billy did,
Speaker 2: so he's already met.
Speaker 5: That's still got a life of its own.
Speaker 2: People are still you know, Billy, I feel like it's
Speaker 2: gonna it's gonna linger a little while.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: You know, I want to put you on the air
Speaker 2: on the show to to to make it better, but
Speaker 2: I don't think you will make it better, which is
Speaker 2: partially why I I I, uh, I'm not gonna do it,
Speaker 2: because you know, we might address it on the postgame
Speaker 2: show Saturday after the after the Auburn game a little bit,
Speaker 2: but uh, it has taken a life of its own.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 2: Yesterday got brought up to me quite a bit, including
Speaker 2: people who don't talk to me about the show, were like, so,
Speaker 2: what was up with Billy?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: And also I looked on Apple iTunes at one point
Speaker 2: we were the number ten episode in the country, which
Speaker 2: doesn't ever happen.
Speaker 3: I mean, that doesn't ever like it's.
Speaker 6: Part of Billy, Yeah, part of the jump. You're just
Speaker 6: doing it for the show.
Speaker 2: Part of it was I think it was a late
Speaker 2: night postgame, so a lot of people went to bed,
Speaker 2: so they wanted to hear it the next day.
Speaker 3: And then we had beatn Oklahoma, so it was a
Speaker 3: good win.
Speaker 2: And I think part of it might have been people going,
Speaker 2: what what happened with Billy and this?
Speaker 3: So I think this is gonna linger.
Speaker 5: So what side of you on should Heather call Saturday?
Speaker 5: And should Billy?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's up to Heather. I would love
Speaker 2: for Heather to call. I want Heather to call. She
Speaker 2: got a lot of good feedback I think from the
Speaker 2: from Twitter Twitter she said a thing. You know, I
Speaker 2: would just suggest as a recommendation to young Billy that
Speaker 2: if she calls, I would be overly nice if I
Speaker 2: were him Shannon if she did, because it's probably this
Speaker 2: is not one you want to linger.
Speaker 6: I think the best thing that could happen for Billy
Speaker 6: is Heather actually calls in and we make it right
Speaker 6: this time.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 6: Sometimes you just grew up, you can you have an
Speaker 6: opportunity to make it right. Now. She doesn't call back in,
Speaker 6: then it might linger a little long.
Speaker 3: I would say, though, at some point she'll call.
Speaker 6: Back yes, it's in her hands.
Speaker 2: And when she does, she think it'd be really nice
Speaker 2: for Billy to be sort of nice.
Speaker 3: I think that would be helpful.
Speaker 5: And her post that she put out, you know, she
Speaker 5: said she started calling to help kind of therapy for
Speaker 5: the floods, little relief from the floods, and she wanted
Speaker 5: to give a shout out to her ninety five year
Speaker 5: old grandmother. Yeah, and Billy Wax she calls in.
Speaker 3: She said.
Speaker 2: She called in the postgame show to help with flood
Speaker 2: recovery her ninety five year old grandmother, which certainly helps
Speaker 2: Billy's case.
Speaker 3: A lot drew when we learned those facts too.
Speaker 4: I'm afraid to even look at you right now because
Speaker 4: the lot Billy's given you is making me uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: Staring time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't get you get mad at me, Ricky, Bobby,
Speaker 2: I ain't the one who did it. And if you remember,
Speaker 2: I tried to save you in the moment at one
Speaker 2: forty am. I know what fan reaction is gonna be,
Speaker 2: like shit.
Speaker 6: He did not apologize, or actually he did apologize on
Speaker 6: the pre show, but he will not take responsibilities now.
Speaker 6: He's flipped from where he was before.
Speaker 2: Since we are here at Lexington Sporting. I want to
Speaker 2: tell you a soccer story that Uh did you see
Speaker 2: what happened in the German League four Bundesliga game?
Speaker 5: Man, I guess I missed that one.
Speaker 2: Tell me about it between f C Terry two and
Speaker 2: write weiss marham Marheim three.
Speaker 3: You probably didn't watch.
Speaker 5: This game battle for the agent?
Speaker 3: You know why you didn't watch the game? No?
Speaker 2: Because he got postponed during warm ups? Would you like
Speaker 2: to know why?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 3: You know how when you watch soccer games, I don't
Speaker 3: know do they do this here? Do you like? Do
Speaker 3: little kids walk out during Okay?
Speaker 2: So it's always an interesting thing about soccer is that
Speaker 2: little kids will like walk out with the with the team,
Speaker 2: the old hands with them, and then everybody else shake hands.
Speaker 2: It kind of gotta be a cool moment for the
Speaker 2: little kids that do it.
Speaker 3: So, uh, f C.
Speaker 2: Tari two and write weiss Mannheim three are playing each other,
Speaker 2: kids walk out with the referee is standing in the middle,
Speaker 2: comes in. All the kids are going to walk by
Speaker 2: and shake hands with the referee and one of the
Speaker 2: kids just punches the.
Speaker 3: Referee in his crotch.
Speaker 2: And then he bends over and the kid bites his testicle.
Speaker 2: What and he ends up having to go to the
Speaker 2: hospital and they don't have a makeup referee and they
Speaker 2: end up canceling.
Speaker 3: They have to cancel the match.
Speaker 2: A German professional soccer match ended because of an assault
Speaker 2: by an eight year old on the referee.
Speaker 5: Uh before the game start, you could have asked me
Speaker 5: fifteen reasons why that match got canceled and I wouldn't
Speaker 5: have thought some of a testicle.
Speaker 2: Got hope it was more than fifteen. I thought, I
Speaker 2: hope it was gonna be like a million.
Speaker 6: Wow. I feel like a punch would have been enough.
Speaker 6: But to go back and bite its insult to injury.
Speaker 6: At that point, you're just piling on.
Speaker 3: He ended up having to go to the hospital, like
Speaker 3: look like hell yeah?
Speaker 2: And uh so that match, Uh, by the way, has
Speaker 2: been rescheduled. I don't know if they have the kids
Speaker 2: walk on the pitch for that one, but.
Speaker 3: Uh, an interesting moment.
Speaker 4: How do you even handle that with the kid? I
Speaker 4: mean you can't.
Speaker 2: I think you got to put them in trouble. I
Speaker 2: think you have to see some Yeah you can't, you can't.
Speaker 2: I think that you have to you have to say
Speaker 2: that's not you can't do that.
Speaker 6: Please tell me, please, some of there's video really seeing.
Speaker 2: The video, but uh, I don't expect that will happen
Speaker 2: next Saturday on Opening Night. I think they'll they will
Speaker 2: protect our referees. Who's up next?
Speaker 6: Got Josh?
Speaker 3: Up next? Josh? Go ahead, Josh.
Speaker 8: Hey man, I'm not gonna wait your time asking how
Speaker 8: you're doing. That bugs me when people do that, but
Speaker 8: I'm going already get it, so go ahead, shut out.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So I was gonna give a shout to Heather and Pikeville,
Speaker 8: but you guys just covered her. I did want to
Speaker 8: say that I won tickets to the Auburn game for Saturday.
Speaker 8: I want a VIP experience, and they actually invited me
Speaker 8: to the practice today. So I left a little before
Speaker 8: six o'clock this morning from Western Kentucky. I'm just now
Speaker 8: pulling up the the arena for practice, and I just
Speaker 8: want to ask you what what the heck experience?
Speaker 2: Who did you win that from? Hang on, who did
Speaker 2: you win that from? That's a big experience.
Speaker 8: Okay, Well, let me let me disclose a little information.
Speaker 8: My wife doesn't know I won the tickets, but I
Speaker 8: want them to do Coaches versus Cancer auction.
Speaker 2: You paid for the experience. Yeah, okay, so different. Second,
Speaker 2: there's a differ.
Speaker 3: There's a difference between winning and pay Now, I think
Speaker 3: it'll be worth it. That's a little different than winning
Speaker 3: the experience.
Speaker 2: I won.
Speaker 3: I won the bed.
Speaker 8: It said you won.
Speaker 3: You won because you spent the most money. That's how
Speaker 3: an auction works.
Speaker 8: Well, anyways, what can I expect at the practice or anything?
Speaker 8: You think I should uh look forward to better my experience.
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like you got the kind of money
Speaker 2: you don't need to worry about the experience.
Speaker 3: But I appreciate the call. Uh.
Speaker 4: He could send us a Jackson Robinson report if he
Speaker 4: wants to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that would be interesting to see how much
Speaker 2: Jackson Robinson and Lama Butler play. I have not been
Speaker 2: because during the summer I was gone, So I have
Speaker 2: not been to a full Mark Pope practice beyond the
Speaker 2: one that the whole media went to.
Speaker 3: So I haven't.
Speaker 2: You know, when coaches do media practices, I always think
Speaker 2: they're a little bit careful what they do because all
Speaker 2: the media is there. In the earlier years of col
Speaker 2: I would go to a couple of practices every year,
Speaker 2: and you kind of got a sense of what it
Speaker 2: was gonna be like, So I have the point being
Speaker 2: I haven't really seen Mark Pope coach a team yet,
Speaker 2: so I do think Ryan that would be interesting because
Speaker 2: you do learn about a coach based on behind the scenes.
Speaker 3: I used to say about Cow, people be like, oh, Cow.
Speaker 2: Doesn't coach, Well, you haven't been to practice, because he
Speaker 2: he would coach in practice.
Speaker 3: It'd be interesting to see Pope new ones too.
Speaker 5: I would love love to go to a practice sometimes
Speaker 5: because you hear like Jack Gibbons or Cameron Mills, those
Speaker 5: guys that go to practice a lot. They talk about
Speaker 5: how Mark is like always uplifting, always encouraging, always trying
Speaker 5: to push guys, you know, to be a better player.
Speaker 5: It's not a lot of screaming and hollering and getting
Speaker 5: on somebody. It's more support from coming from coach Pope.
Speaker 4: Also today, as he noted, they're practicing and Rough. I
Speaker 4: know for many years we wanted them to do that
Speaker 4: more often. Pope's done that. Uh he's got a press
Speaker 4: conference right after the show ends and instead of doing
Speaker 4: at the usual spot, you got to go to Rough
Speaker 4: to see it. So that's one thing I think he's
Speaker 4: we've bought. Every fan has wanted, you know, going back,
Speaker 4: maybe over decades, to do more practices there, and.
Speaker 6: He can't do it.
Speaker 3: I've never understood why we didn't do that shit.
Speaker 2: I mean, I you know, like every other team in
Speaker 2: the country, literally every other team in the country gets
Speaker 2: to practice in the arena they play it, unless you're
Speaker 2: Saint John's playing in Madison Square Garden. Pretty much everyone
Speaker 2: else practices. I mean Cameron fog Allen Field House, even
Speaker 2: the Dean Smith like, they practice there and we haven't
Speaker 2: been able to do that. So I'm glad that has
Speaker 2: started to become a team.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's nice to have that practice facility. But yeah,
Speaker 6: I mean if you're going to play there, I don't
Speaker 6: know why you wouldn't, Like, what's the argument against that.
Speaker 3: Well, they don't have acts, i mean roperena charges. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so I got sure. I'm sure you can.
Speaker 6: So they actually have to pay to practice at Rupperina.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they may have done some sort of
Speaker 2: deal with them where they can now get it the
Speaker 2: day before, but generally speaking, you know, UK.
Speaker 3: Is that facility is owned by the city.
Speaker 2: The UK is like renting it somehow, So I'm sure
Speaker 2: that's why. I mean you couldn't have practiced their Thursday
Speaker 2: because of Blake Shelton concert.
Speaker 6: That's true, right, Yeah, But either way, even if you
Speaker 6: do have to pay, I think that would be money
Speaker 6: worth spent, worth worth spending. That was a Ryan Lemon
Speaker 6: worth spending.
Speaker 3: That is, that was money worth spend.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: When you have your money worth spent, how about using
Speaker 2: it in a high yield savings account.
Speaker 3: From UK Federal credit Well, tell me more, Matthew, about
Speaker 3: that transition.
Speaker 2: As high as four percent APY on your savings upgrade
Speaker 2: your piggy bank by and earning almost ten times the
Speaker 2: national average savings rate. Four percent APY from the Official
Speaker 2: Credit Union of the University of Kentucky. Annual percentage yield
Speaker 2: is four percent. Minimum one thousand dollars to open up
Speaker 2: the account. Membership eligibility required go to UKFCU dot org.
Speaker 2: Federally insured by n c U A. The UK women
Speaker 2: got a massive victory last night, the biggest in the
Speaker 2: history of school.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about it right after this. Look at that
Speaker 3: shit out.
Speaker 2: I love it with Alice blue gown helios.
Speaker 3: Appreciate yes, listen to that voice, that power.

Speaker 2: you some things.
Speaker 3: Be careful what you said. And you already are telling
Speaker 3: smelly and stinky to a city where we have thousands.
Speaker 5: Of listeners for their soccer team.
Speaker 2: I'm not asking you about their team, I'm asking you
Speaker 2: about the city. Oh okay, because you don't know anything
Speaker 2: about any of these Okay, I'm gonna give you one read.
Speaker 3: Here you go, and it's a it's smelly and stinky.
Speaker 2: It's not it's not a Birmingham. I don't have to
Speaker 2: be made fun of. Just what do you know about
Speaker 2: these cities?
Speaker 5: Birmingham, it's in Alabama, it's state capitol, and I guess
Speaker 5: they in the middle of the state. Charleston, Charleston, West Virginia,
Speaker 5: and Charleston, South Carolina.
Speaker 3: South Carolina.
Speaker 5: Beautiful city. One of the most beautiful cities on the
Speaker 5: East coast.
Speaker 3: Colorado Springs play the Switchbacks.
Speaker 5: Been there, Air Force Academy, beautiful, right on the edge
Speaker 5: of the mountains.
Speaker 3: Detroit City FC.
Speaker 5: Gonna be cold if you go up there this time
Speaker 5: of year.
Speaker 3: Detroit Passo Locomotive.
Speaker 5: Oh, that's gonna be hot. We go down now past
Speaker 5: to Texas getting weather reports now.
Speaker 3: Our opening game against the Hartford Athletics.
Speaker 5: Hartford, they don't play soccer up there.
Speaker 3: They play hockey, so they don't. They lost their team.
Speaker 2: Oh damn, Leesburg Virginia Loudon United.
Speaker 3: I know absolutely nothing about Leeds even though where Leesburg, Virginia.
Speaker 5: Is it's in Virginia.
Speaker 3: Okay, terrible at this game.
Speaker 6: You'd be bad, but probably didn't say Darius Rutger for Charleston,
Speaker 6: South Carolina.
Speaker 3: You know drew the fifteenth region controversy.
Speaker 4: I don't, but I like controversial fifteenth region.
Speaker 2: The district tournaments are going on right now, so let
Speaker 2: me give you a little backdrop. I learned all this
Speaker 2: from a woman who made a TikTok video that I
Speaker 2: saw this morning while I was getting ready, and she
Speaker 2: talked for about forty five minutes about this. I liked
Speaker 2: your info, lady, but maybe make it a little shorter,
Speaker 2: But anyway, I wanted to hear it because it was
Speaker 2: fifteenth region, so apparently in every other region in the state.
Speaker 2: You have the district tournament, right, you play the first
Speaker 2: round games.
Speaker 3: If you lose, you're out. If you win the district
Speaker 3: you go.
Speaker 2: If you win or you play lose in the finals,
Speaker 2: you play in the region the next year.
Speaker 3: Right in the fifteenth region.
Speaker 2: I guess they've had some issues in the last few
Speaker 2: years where the favorites have gotten upset in the district
Speaker 2: first round. So now they have something where if you
Speaker 2: win the district, you make it, but then they have
Speaker 2: a bonus if you lose in the district, and everybody
Speaker 2: plays off against each other. It's like double elimination in
Speaker 2: the district. It's been very controversial in the fifteenth region.
Speaker 2: This woman who was on my TikTok very upset about it,
Speaker 2: like she talked to if she was very angry. So
Speaker 2: I guess they had a game between Betsy Lane and Preston.
Speaker 2: I didn't know Betsy Lane was still a school. I
Speaker 2: thought that had come Fall school, but Betsy Lane in Pressensburg.
Speaker 3: There's video of this online.
Speaker 2: I guess it's one of these playing games where a
Speaker 2: team had already lost and had to play again.
Speaker 3: There ends up being a little fight.
Speaker 2: The players are mad at each other and it culminates
Speaker 2: in the scorekeeper who's running the book, just flips off
Speaker 2: two of the players.
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: Now, wow, I don't know what led to it.
Speaker 2: I saw the video. The announcers were outraged. They're like,
Speaker 2: how does the.
Speaker 3: Guy run in the score flip off our player? And
Speaker 3: he was very angry. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 2: Then there was questions of can he be impartial when
Speaker 2: he's flipping off the players? But he is only running
Speaker 2: the score book.
Speaker 3: So what do you think of this?
Speaker 2: I've learned that the fifteenth region is a hot a
Speaker 2: cauldron of difficulty right now.
Speaker 5: Why I assume the scorekeeper was probably for the home
Speaker 5: team is not probably.
Speaker 2: Hard to tell. But I did see him flip the birds.
Speaker 2: Is that clearly was part of what happened.
Speaker 5: I'd say he's not gonna be invited back. I'd say
Speaker 5: he needs to look for another job. But during basketball season.
Speaker 2: How would you feel during the game Doug Shows just
Speaker 2: flipped off Jackson Robbins.
Speaker 6: I think that would be awesome. I'm encouraging that to happen.
Speaker 6: But we know if you do that a rapperena, you
Speaker 6: are not invited by shout out to blue coat Doug.
Speaker 4: This is this is pretty outrageous. I don't know everything
Speaker 4: the person keeping the book supposed to do, but I
Speaker 4: know one thing they shouldn't do, and that's go double
Speaker 4: birds to the amateurs playing sports in front of.
Speaker 6: Stone cult Steve Austin on a.
Speaker 2: High school kid. I want to know, though, what happened
Speaker 2: that made him that matter?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What could what could the high school kid have been
Speaker 2: so upset with the guy running the book score kid?
Speaker 2: He wasn't even like, he's not even doing the scoreclock.
Speaker 2: He's doing the book, which I thought, how could you
Speaker 2: even be mad at the guy doing.
Speaker 5: He They must have thought he screwed up the score,
Speaker 5: because you know, the official score not necessarily what's on
Speaker 5: the scoreboard, it's what's in his book.
Speaker 3: Well, he certainly thought he didn't based on the reaction.
Speaker 5: I wanted to hear the radio call because remember a
Speaker 5: couple of years ago, after we got six oh six,
Speaker 5: by god, I think that was the fifte The.
Speaker 2: Other sort of controversy is the fifteenth region tournament is
Speaker 2: always in a gym that's got like seven thousand people,
Speaker 2: and it's a neutral gym.
Speaker 3: Problem is they had the floods, FEMA is now using
Speaker 3: the gym.
Speaker 2: FEMA is operating at the gym, so they can't have
Speaker 2: it in the gym, and now there's a huge fight
Speaker 2: about where are you gonna play it. Everybody's like, well,
Speaker 2: I wanted it at my school, and I want it
Speaker 2: in my school. And apparently I don't know if they
Speaker 2: still know where they're gonna lik yet, And so that
Speaker 2: was part of what this woman was complaining about on
Speaker 2: TikTok too.
Speaker 4: Hope they don't fight too much over that. I mean,
Speaker 4: I think they should all understand unique circumstances there. Maybe
Speaker 4: do a random drawing or something.
Speaker 2: You can just kick FEMA out of the gym like
Speaker 2: they're doing some important work.
Speaker 6: Let's just take it to a city park and have
Speaker 6: an outdoor game, you know, just so well.
Speaker 3: Just fifteenth region, a lot of emotion. Who's next?
Speaker 6: Michael is up next?
Speaker 3: Michael? Go ahead, Michael.
Speaker 9: I feel like.
Speaker 3: Yesterday, well, Shannon's not in studio, so go ahead.
Speaker 9: Okay, okay, okay. Hypothetically they're making all for you all.
Speaker 9: If the season ended the day, where do you all
Speaker 9: see any of our players that they're able to make
Speaker 9: the NBA draft or be drafted.
Speaker 3: I don't think any ways. Yeah, even when those of.
Speaker 2: Our guys are gonna get drafted, no, I mean, always
Speaker 2: is probably going to come back. So if he were
Speaker 2: to come back and then had like an amazing year.
Speaker 3: Maybe, but the.
Speaker 2: Only person on the team I think that has any
Speaker 2: chance of ever getting drafted is Brandon Garrison, but I
Speaker 2: doubt that happens at least unless he.
Speaker 3: Improves a lot.
Speaker 2: I mean, oh way, there's a world where Oway came back.
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call average twenty points a game, and
Speaker 2: then was drafted the next year in the second round.
Speaker 2: But this is not drew a team of NBA players.
Speaker 2: It's just not No.
Speaker 4: Maybe a late second round someone takes a flyer on
Speaker 4: Kobe Bray, I thinking he's a lights out shooter, but
Speaker 4: I still worry his his defense just isn't quite up
Speaker 4: to speedch for making the NBA. Maybe Amari someone takes
Speaker 4: a chance, But none of them are really projected to
Speaker 4: be in that conversation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I they just all they all have
Speaker 2: a weakness that I think makes it very difficult to
Speaker 2: play in the NBA. Oway and Garrison I think have
Speaker 2: the athleticism, but.
Speaker 3: I just would be surprised.
Speaker 9: Shot.
Speaker 2: That's why if he comes back and he like starts
Speaker 2: shooting threes like Jackson Robinson, then maybe there's a world
Speaker 2: where he plays in the NBA. We'll take a break,
Speaker 2: come back. I remember two. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
