Speaker 3: you know, the analytic mind, uh.

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 4: That was brought with Pope and be interesting to hear him,

31
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 4: hear him talk. You know.

32
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,040

37
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,640

38
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 4: What would what would yours be?

39
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,560

00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 4: You did the one over there?

42
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 5: Yeah?

43
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: Well, I mean a famous one.

44
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: You you did one for social media, which was just

45
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: you taking your shirt off. I know that's gonna surprise

46
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: you Shannon next to Bert Kreischer. This man takes his

47
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 3: shirt off more than any person in America.

48
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 4: What about you? Were you excited about Cody. I'm very

49
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 4: excited about Cody.

50
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 6: To your boom question, the Kenny Powers boom that Brandon

51
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 6: Garrison already use would be my boom. But I don't

52
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 6: like to hear from him. I want to hear more

53
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 6: about how they operate with that offense. We do a

54
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 6: lot of watching YouTube and trusted the internet to teach

55
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 6: just but it'll be nice to actually hear from one

56
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 6: of the men behind it.

57
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'd be nice to I mean, we talked to

58
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: Pope already, and there's kind of an introductory interview that

59
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: you have to do with people where you sort of

60
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: talk about what.

61
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 4: Made him come here, et cetera.

62
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Uh.

63
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll ask him at least a question about that.

64
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: But then I'm I'm with you, I'm sort of interested

65
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: in the basketball. Now we're gonna look like, what are

66
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: we gonna look like?

67
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 4: What's the what's the way we play, what's the way

68
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: we do.

69
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: That's really probably what I'm most interested in hearing him

70
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: talk about.

71
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it was when when Pope was on with you.

72
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 5: You know, he was talking about the roster construct action

73
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 5: and how okay we got this piece, we got to

74
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 5: do this piece, go get that piece. So it is

75
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 5: more definitely analytical. And you don't use the word algorithm

76
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 5: the things they put together to try to put this

77
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 5: team together.

78
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 4: Do you know what an algorithm is?

79
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 5: In math? An algorithm is like what like abe square

80
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 5: plus B squared equal C squared.

81
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 4: No, that's calculus.

82
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 5: Oh that's calculus. I was really good in calculatus.

83
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: I'm sure that's I'm sure that's true. So so Drew.

84
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: We we found out today or yesterday. The SEC opponents

85
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: yep for Kentucky and if you haven't heard Kentucky basketball.

86
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: This year, we'll play every team wants. The highlights are

87
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: every team wants except Arkansas, Tennessee, and Vandy. We play

88
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: excuse me, Alabama, Tennessee, and Vandy. We play twice. Arkansas

89
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: is at RUP, not down there. And then we go

90
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: to Oklahoma and Texas. Oklahoma and Texas do not come here.

91
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: We go there for their first time there. Auburn is

92
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: only here. So two of the harder road environments Auburn

93
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: and Arkansas, we only have to play here. But we

94
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 3: do go to Texas and Oklahoma. What did you think

95
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: of the schedule when it came out.

96
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 6: I think, like everyone, we were excited to get that

97
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 6: confirmation that Col's coming to UP. I think that's the

98
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 6: game everyone's looking forward to most on the entire schedule.

99
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 4: So it's good to see that.

100
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 6: Is now firm. Kind of like we're not giving them

101
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 6: the return trip. They don't get their Superman. You don't

102
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 6: need a T shirt game your free T shirt. The

103
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 6: other time I found indiestioning Alabama got the the doubleheader

104
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 6: with Kentucky. It's been Florida forever, so it just shows

105
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 6: that they.

106
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: They're changing the schedule.

107
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: It seems like if you look at what the other

108
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: team's got that in the future they're gonna do. You

109
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: have two teams you play every year, and for us

110
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: it's gonna be Tennessee and Vandy, it looks like, and

111
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: then one team will change every year you play twice.

112
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: And for Kentucky it's probably gonna be whoever the best

113
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: team is in the conference. You're gonna play them two yep.

114
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 3: So Alabama's predicted to be the best team, so we're

115
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 3: gonna play them.

116
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 6: That's why it's kind of the league. You know, given

117
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 6: Alabama their credit, they've been in recent years the best

118
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 6: team where they won the league twice, won the tournament twice.

119
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 6: It's gonna be weird not having two against Florida, but

120
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 6: it shows how good Alabama was.

121
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 4: When's the last time we haven't had two against Florida?

122
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: I mean the sixties? Is it with it? The sixties? Yeah? Sixties?

123
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: I mean we because you know, you played them in

124
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: the SEC East for a long time, and that was

125
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: before you played everybody twice. Then you played the SEC

126
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 3: East twice, and then we went to the three teams

127
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: twice and we always had Florida as one of them.

128
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: So this is weird. First time since the sixties won't

129
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: be playing Florida twice.

130
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 5: I think, like Drew said, not surprise Arkansas is at

131
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 5: rub not surprised they get Alabama twice because they're supposed

132
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 5: to be the best team in the conference. Also not

133
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 5: surprised they're sending us to Oklahoma and Texas. Kind of

134
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 5: they welcome to the SEC. We're gonna bring the big

135
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 5: show to your town this first season. So hard schedule

136
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 5: Oklahoma in Texas. I said, I'm sorry, would you say

137
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 5: I think, I said Tennessee.

138
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've been there before.

139
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: Yeah it is, it's a hard scanual, but I don't

140
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 3: think it's like I mean, we got a In my opinion,

141
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: the three hardest road environments in the SEC are probably Auburn, Arkansas,

142
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: and probably Tennessee. But we're gonna play them twice anyway,

143
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: So with Auburn and Arkansas, I think you can make

144
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: an argument we don't have to go to the two

145
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 3: hardest places to play Drew.

146
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: So in that respect, I don't think it's too awful difficult.

147
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, you dodge the emotional road game against Cal. I'm

148
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 6: interested to see. I don't know what Texas roster looks

149
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 6: like right now, haven't done as much research on the

150
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 6: rest of the league, but I think they'll be very

151
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 6: excited to host Kentucky.

152
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 4: I think there's must to be pretty good.

153
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 6: I think that'll be a wild atmosphere and a probably

154
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 6: a pretty good team as they've been in the past.

155
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 6: So I think that's one our first trip there, they'll

156
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 6: be fired up to host.

157
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: I was going to suggest if we took a little

158
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: mini basketball road trip if we're you know, if we're

159
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 3: gonna do football for Texas, maybe we go to Oklahoma, like,

160
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: there's no like, I mean, when have you? I was

161
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: thinking I met on on a plane when I was

162
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 3: sitting in Cincinnati or in Dallas delayed a metal woman

163
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: who went to Oklahoma. Yeah, and it made me realize

164
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: that might be the biggest school that you and I

165
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: have never been to. I've never been to Norman. I

166
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: was trying to think, you take Big twelve, Big.

167
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: Ten ACC schools.

168
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: I've been to almost all of them, but I don't

169
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: think I've been to Oklahoma, and so that might be

170
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: a good one to go to.

171
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: Right, And I was like, we're going.

172
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 5: Eventually the football team is going to play there in

173
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 5: the near future. So yeah, I think I'm a trip

174
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 5: to Oklahoma. I mean, what next year? Is it? Next year?

175
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: Well, I mean next year we're going to Technics. But

176
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: the year after that, I think isn't the way the

177
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: schedule goes, We'll go.

178
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 5: Everywhere everywhere over a course of a four years.

179
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: No, you're right, everywhere over four years, not everywhere over

180
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: over two years. So now that you know the schedule,

181
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: what's it going to be like when cow walks in here?

182
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: Now do we know what's gonna happen? First?

183
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: Of all, when do they play it? Is it a

184
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: Saturday night six o'clock.

185
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 4: It's gotta be Saturday.

186
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: Remember, CBS doesn't have sec basketball games anymore. So, and

187
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 3: by the way, this happens with football.

188
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 4: Two.

189
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: It got sort of hidden yesterday, but football made announcement

190
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: about schedules too.

191
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 4: Did you see this?

192
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: So football and basketball will be scheduling much different than

193
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: we've done. Let's start with basketball, since what we're talking about,

194
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: they will have games on Saturdays at twelve, two, four, six,

195
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 3: and sometimes eight. And those games quote unquote good games

196
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 3: could be on any of them because they're gonna try

197
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: to spread the good games out all day. So it

198
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: will be much harder to predict ryan win good games off.

199
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 4: Right.

200
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 3: So, like it used to be on a Saturday, you

201
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 3: were the four o'clock CBS game, absolutely, or the six

202
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: or eight o'clock ESPN game. Now they might put you anywhere,

203
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: especially during the NFL playoffs, right right, So, so we

204
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: really have no idea when they'll play, but I would say,

205
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: you want to get that place wild, you do it

206
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 3: at four or six something like that.

207
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 5: And they're gonna make this judgment before the season starts too.

208
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 5: The tip off times will be made.

209
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: Basketball times will all be before, and not every football time,

210
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 3: but most of the football times will be before too.

211
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: So one of the complaints fans have had is you

212
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 3: didn't know all two weeks before the game when it

213
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 3: would be. I think I don't think they're gonna do

214
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: all of them, but I think they're gonna do a

215
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 3: lot of them. They also announced no team will have

216
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: more than two noon home games for football, So that's good.

217
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: Alabama's complaining because they've had, for whatever reason, a ton

218
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: of noon games because whenever they play a bad team,

219
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: they put them at noon. Now, Drew, I think they

220
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: said almost every team will have two noon home games,

221
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 3: but nobody will have more than two, which is a difference.

222
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, forever, we've had in our mind how they pro games.

223
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 4: You know, it was out it was oh miss, that's

224
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 4: who always would happen to but go.

225
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 6: Ahead, Sorry, but yeah, you get in our head. Okay,

226
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 6: these two teams are gonna be the CBS game. They're

227
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 6: the best, and you just kind of went down the

228
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 6: order that's completely changed, completely changed. I mean, you might

229
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 6: have the best game at noon. For years, they just

230
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 6: currentered that time slot to the Big ten. But now

231
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 6: the SEC will try to put a Marque game there

232
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 6: as well.

233
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna put base in the In football, basically

234
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 3: noon three thirty and seven, they will take the three

235
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: best games and put one on each and then the

236
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: others will fill in behind it. So you could have

237
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: the third best game and be at noon. You could

238
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 3: have the seventh best game and be in prime time,

239
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: depending on how it goes.

240
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 5: For football, well, the the best game of the day

241
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 5: always be on.

242
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: But they're doing a lot of this in advance, so,

243
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: like you know, they used to two weeks out, go

244
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: all right, what's the best game of the game. Yeah,

245
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 3: three thirty second best game of the game, day seven o'clock.

246
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: Now a lot of it will be picked in advance.

247
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 4: I think I think the.

248
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: First seven or eight weeks of the season, Drew will

249
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: be picked in advance, which like a I don't think

250
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: that's ever ever happened.

251
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it used to matter so much, I guess for

252
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 6: that CBS slot the two Mondays before that's when they

253
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 6: denw this is our best game because you didn't want

254
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 6: to do it before the season. But now with it's

255
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 6: so scattered, it's not as important to have a specific

256
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 6: time slots. They're already filling him in ahead of time.

257
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: So go back now, Rick walk or see me Rick

258
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 3: Cow walking in this place. There's a lot of debate

259
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: when the schedule came out. What's gonna happen?

260
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 4: If you had asked me a week after he left,

261
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 4: I thought he's getting booted. I kind of don't know

262
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 4: if he will.

263
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be a huge movement amongst people

264
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: to not do it. So I think it'll end up

265
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: being people over cheering to compensate that they're worried people are.

266
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 4: Gonna boot That's my tech. Now again, this is months out.

267
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 4: What do you think is gonna happen?

268
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 5: I mean, he is at a conference rival and he's

269
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 5: coming in and probably what's gonna be an important game

270
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 5: for conduct to win. So I mean I can almost

271
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 5: see us applauding for a Do you know more? Will

272
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 5: they applaud for Cow? There'll be some that applaud, But

273
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 5: what will be the overall sentiment?

274
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: Of course there'll be some, But will it be more

275
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: boo will be forget about numbers. If you're standing on

276
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 3: the floor, will he hear booze or cheers predominantly?

277
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go boo all right, I think it's gonna

278
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 6: be pretty even divide, but I'm leaning boo. I think

279
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 6: when people get in the moment, people might even say

280
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 6: they're not gonna boo. But when you get in there

281
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 6: and that energy is in the building and he walks out,

282
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 6: there's a few booze.

283
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 4: I think some people won't be able to help himself.

284
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 4: What spirit of the game that day, It.

285
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: Will definitely be a mix, But I think the people

286
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: booing will be louder than the people cheering.

287
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 4: He will hear the booze, all right, Well.

288
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: He will hear the booze because I know that's just

289
00:12:53,040 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 3: how he And I'll give you a perfect example during

290
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: that press conference when they if you listened live, if

291
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: you listen to the tape, people were cheering when they

292
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 3: said my name.

293
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 4: But there were a.

294
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: Couple of people and I heard a cop and I

295
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 3: almost wanted to win up to him, go what do

296
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: you want something?

297
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna here. You want to race, I can beat

298
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: you in a race. He'll hear the booze. I'm gonna

299
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 4: beat I think you got Here's what I think it's

300
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 4: gonna happen.

301
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: Two weeks before the game, there's gonna be a somebody's

302
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: gonna get up and say, let's not boo this guy.

303
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 3: Mark's gonna say that. Don't you think Mark Pope will

304
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: say that. Mark Pope will say that. And I think

305
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 3: there'll be some peer pressure not to boo, and it

306
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 3: will keep some people from booth. I mean, let's be real,

307
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: there's three U three and there's four people sitting in

308
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 3: the thing. I'm not gonna say who says what? Turn

309
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 3: the camera off? Mark, turn it off? That's off, not

310
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: off off. How many of you you would if it

311
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 3: was anonymous boo? Six to one? Shant it boo?

312
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: Really wow?

313
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 3: And you wouldn't have guessed who was who? You wouldn't

314
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: have guessed. So maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there will be

315
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 3: more books. I think we'll reveal my Well, now you

316
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 3: can't really your bone, that's true. I mean it'd be

317
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 3: too obvious.

318
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 5: When he walks out of the tunnel, I can see

319
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 5: him maybe get a little moral applause. But when they

320
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 5: introduce him and head coach to the Arkansas Raised Backs

321
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 5: John Calo Perry, it will.

322
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 4: Boo if this makes it. I don't think it's gonna

323
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: be booing because they dislike cow.

324
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 6: I think it's just gonna be the energy of Arkansas's

325
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 6: on the court.

326
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 7: There he is.

327
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just you're booing him in that one moment.

328
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 6: It's not like I don't like you, I've forgotten what

329
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 6: you've done for us. It's just that you're right in

330
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 6: front of me, right before a big ravery game, probably

331
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 6: gonna let off a boo.

332
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 4: Uh well, we're not gonna open the phones yet.

333
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 3: So the text machine is seven seven two seven seven

337
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio.

Speaker 3: Text Machine seven seven two seven seven four five two

339

Speaker 3: five four One person rights Matt. In most things in life,

340
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: it seems like the most negative people are online. I

341
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: would agree with that, yes, but with cal Sometimes I

342
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: wonder if there are more positive people.

343
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 4: Online the negative.

344
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: No one I know in my life would do anything

345
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 3: than boom, But online everyone says we should cheer. What

346
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: do you think is the right What do you think

347
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 3: is the best example of the fan base. I don't

348
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: know the answer.

349
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,479
Speaker 4: To that. I tend to think.

350
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: There are more vocal cal So I look at the

351
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: fan base in like a multiple facet thing.

352
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 4: I think casual like Kentucky.

353
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: Fans like your grandma Right. I think I really like

354
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: right because they're I think those kind of people, the

355
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 3: people who wear the Kentucky sweaters, you know, and who

356
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 3: are very sweet, I think they're they're they're pro cow.

357
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 4: I think the male.

358
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 3: Part of the fan base is very negative for the

359
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 3: most part. Online I actually think it splits up age wise.

360
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: I think the younger fans tend to be more pro

361
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: cow than the older fans. But so it's weird in

362
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: the g Here's what I would say. I haven't met

363
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: a woman, and I don't mean to be like gender

364
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: based on this, but I really feel this. I have

365
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: not met a woman that comes to our shows that

366
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: doesn't like Cow, but I haven't met a lot of

367
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 3: men who weren't.

368
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 4: Done with him. But online, especially Twitter, is mostly a.

369
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 3: Male thing in terms of who host the most right

370
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 3: like about Kentucky Sports. The younger ones are much more

371
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 3: positive than the ones Drew's age and older.

372
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 4: Do you agree with that? And so I just find

373
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 4: it interesting.

374
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: Normally, I don't think opinions always focus demographically, or if

375
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 3: they do, it's because of politics.

376
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 4: In this one, it's kind of all over the board.

377
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: Depends on who you talk to, right, depends on what

378
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 3: form you're on. So I actually think that's why it's

379
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 3: hard for me to predict what will be in that arena,

380
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 3: which has also a different kind of fan base. The

381
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: arena is a little wealthier in general than the average

382
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 3: fan base, a little more for football. The football people

383
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: come from all over the state. The basketball people tend

384
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 3: to be more Lexington based.

385
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 4: Would you agree with that? So it's hard to know

386
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 4: what that's what that arena will do as opposed to

387
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 4: just the fan base is Yeah.

388
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 6: I wonder because a lot of the people that will

389
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 6: be in the REPP areena for that game, you kind

390
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 6: of wonder are they upset that they've spent so much

391
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 6: money on tournaments lately, because that's people that are spending

392
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 6: money and traveling too.

393
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 4: No doubt the SEC tournament crowd was very next.

394
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 6: Oh, lots of booing there, But also those are the

395
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 6: people if there's season ticket holders, they might have several

396
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 6: fond memories with Cal in that build.

397
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: It's true they do and a lot of those people

398
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: just by their very stature in life. Many of those

399
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: people have met cow over the end they want to

400
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 3: be but whatever, that's exactly right. So it's it's interesting.

401
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 3: It's just it's kind of all over the place. And

402
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: so that's why it's hard for me to predict what

403
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 3: will happen. And again there's a time element, what happens

404
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 3: over the next six months. Are they good when they

405
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 3: come here? Yes, Okay, if they're eleven and nine, he'll

406
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: get a better reception than if they're eighteen and thirty.

407
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 5: Oh, no doubt. You know what I mean, no doubt.

408
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 5: It's interesting to hear you kind of play it out.

409
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 5: Like the younger generation, they don't know any different. All

410
00:18:59,080 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 5: they know is cal.

411
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 4: Okay, let's use Mario.

412
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 3: The day col left, Mario was panicked like Kentucky basketball

413
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: is over.

414
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 4: Now he's all in on Pope.

415
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

416
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: So I do think the younger fan base over time

417
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: will go all in on Pope if they haven't already.

418
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, they have not had to go through that before.

419
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 5: This is their first time they've had to go from

420
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 5: one era to the next. And I agree with you

421
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 5: about the older fan You know, we get a little

422
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 5: more forgiving the older we get. So I think they're

423
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 5: a little more forgiving of cal and ready to welcome,

424
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 5: not welcoming back. They wouldn't maybe boo.

425
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 3: Him second time he comes here, it will be positive

426
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: unless he's won a national championship. Yeah, but the first

427
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 3: time is the one that I don't know what to say.

428
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: How about this NBA draft combine yesterday read Shepard the

429
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: highest vertical jump YEP.

430
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 4: Of anyone in the combine? Crazy?

431
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 3: I mean, first of all, for people who say I

432
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: don't know if he's athletic enough for the NBA, clearly,

433
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 3: that's not.

434
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 4: Clearly he is. But Drew that shocked me. The highest

435
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 4: of everyone.

436
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 6: And I want to say, I don't have that in

437
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 6: front of me. It was maybe like the twenty second

438
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 6: highest all time, forty two inches.

439
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: It was an inch and a half higher than anyone else,

440
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: white guy from London, Kentucky highest. But he doesn't he

441
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 3: doesn't play like that, No, you know what I mean,

442
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 3: He doesn't play way above the rim.

443
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 6: The way I like to look at it yesterday is

444
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 6: Jeff Shepherd's kid has a higher vertical than lebron James kid.

445
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 6: Because Bronnie was there and Reid got him by a

446
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 6: couple of inches, but Jeff played more above the rim.

447
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 6: You know, you think lebron James Kid's gonna be nothing

448
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 6: against Bronnie's shattering numbers. But no other kid from London,

449
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 6: Jeff's kids, the one that's out jumping every Reed is

450
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 6: going in the top seven.

451
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh like he is.

452
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 4: And I know they are still fans. I still have

453
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 4: people say to me, you know, in the end, do

454
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 4: you really think he's gonna Yeah, he is.

455
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 3: I mean when he when I saw him shooting threes

456
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 3: at that thing, just bam, bam, bam bam. I mean,

457
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 3: Broni made eleven straight threes in the in the combine

458
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 3: and people are like, wow, I feel like Reid could

459
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 3: make fifty straight.

460
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, and I think he's top four the

461
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 6: word does? The Spurs love him and their fourth so

462
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 6: I don't know if he gets past them.

463
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 3: If Reid or Rob goes to the Spurs, like they

464
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 3: become kind of the new Kentucky team, right, wouldn't you say?

465
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 3: There gonna be so much fun to watch and whoever

466
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 3: like so the Rockets have the third pick, they're actually

467
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: getting better, so whoever comes in might not immediately start.

468
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: Whichever those guys go to. The Spurs is playing for

469
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 4: moment one, yes, and he's playing a lot.

470
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: And I think our fans will really get into whoever.

471
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:52,479
Speaker 4: It is that is.

472
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 6: I think there's a chance they can go back to back.

473
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 6: Both those teams are looking at guards at three and four.

474
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 6: I don't know who would prefer which one, but whoever

475
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 6: ends up Wimby, that would be a fun young duo

476
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 6: to keep up with.

477
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 3: And it would be And what a perfect spot because

478
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: you're gonna get a spotlight on you because Wimby's gonna

479
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 3: have I mean, Wimmy's gonna be the best player in

480
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 3: the league in four or five years, and you have

481
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: a chance to be a teammate right of the best player.

482
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 4: In the league. Good culture, good coach.

483
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 3: Yes, you got Popovich, a legend who's coached legends over

484
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 3: the years. I'm such a great spot, yea. And you know,

485
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 3: even the Rockets people don't people they've been bad for

486
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 3: a long time.

487
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 4: They got a good young group. They got what Odulko,

488
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 4: I can't get it.

489
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: Right, but he the guy with the Celtics who was

490
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: great there and he's a good coach. So I think

491
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 3: wherever they go. I think they have a chance to succeed.

492
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you said, they can kind of grow together

493
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 5: if they Robber, Reed and Wimby just kind of watch

494
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 5: them grow and become superstars together.

495
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,040

00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,680

00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 3: he took the job.

509
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 7: Oh shoot, man, I appreciate you having me on today. Well,

510
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 7: I love Lexington so far. I've been here off non

511
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 7: for like the last three weeks. It's absolutely beautiful. Got

512
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 7: to go to the horse race the other day learning

513
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 7: more and more about this play. But been to Jeff Rubies,

514
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 7: a couple of times and some recruits around. It's been

515
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 7: It's been absolutely amazing so far. And the reason I

516
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 7: took the job is because it's Kentucky. You know, I

517
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 7: think of Kentucky as a top five basketball job in

518
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 7: any you know, whether it's Europe, whether it's NBA, I

519
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 7: think it's a top five job. And absolutely logus place.

520
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: Oh, I like that in all of basketball. That's that

521
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 3: we like to hear stuff like that. Well, Cody, I

522
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 3: you know, we talked to Mark a couple of weeks

523
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 3: ago about his philosophies, et cetera, and about recruiting. I

524
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 3: want to talk to you a little bit about just

525
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: the basketball side of it because I know you're heavily

526
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 3: involved in that. A lot of us at this point

527
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 3: have watched a lot of BYU games and sort of.

528
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 4: But how would you describe the staff and.

529
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 3: Mark Pope's philosophy when it comes to actually, you know, offense,

530
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: defense and the x's and oh's of basketball.

531
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 7: Yeah, So, I mean, how coach Pope likes to build

532
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 7: his program, his team. Just give these guys a Tommy

533
00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 7: confidence first and foremost. He wants them to play you know, fast,

534
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 7: free and fearless, you know, offensively where we're trying to

535
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 7: get up thirty five threes a game, and if you

536
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 7: turn down an open shot, you're coming to sit on

537
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 7: the bench. Like that's how he coaches. Wants to give

538
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 7: these guys tons of freedom and wants them to play

539
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 7: off their instincts. So that's a huge thing for us offensively,

540
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 7: just playing fast, playing the transition and let these guys

541
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 7: make plays and make reads. And then defensively, we like

542
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 7: to you know, our bases mana man, but well we'll

543
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 7: do a bunch of punches during the game, whether it's like,

544
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 7: you know, we'll trap a ball screen or come out

545
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 7: in a press or we'll change it up after timeouts

546
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 7: things like that, or or if we feel like we

547
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 7: can get one quick in the half court.

548
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: You know, when you look at the roster you've built,

549
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 3: you know you got three guys who were their conference

550
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 3: player of the year on defense, was that an intentional

551
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: goal to try to I mean, you got some guys

552
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: who could also fill it up, but to get guys

553
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 3: who can defend and strong one on one man to man.

554
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was something that we definitely talked about. Is

555
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 7: we want to be obviously, we want to get better defensively,

556
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 7: and then we also feel like we can help them

557
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 7: improve improve, you know, offensively and just different skills and

558
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 7: how we play. We just feel like with our freedom

559
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 7: and just help them with these guys make decisions offensively,

560
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 7: we feel like we can really help help them grow

561
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 7: that way.

562
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 5: Uh.

563
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 3: One of the guys we know little about because didn't

564
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: really watch him in high school and then he's been

565
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 3: on his mission is Colin Chandler. I'm sure you do.

566
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 3: You guys have high hopes. What's what's he like as

567
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 3: a player?

568
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 7: Oh, he is. Uh, he's a high level athlete, high Q. Kid,

569
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 7: makes the right play, unbelievable offensive player, can really shoot

570
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 7: the ball, and really good passer. Uh, great finisher on

571
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 7: the rim, you know. And then defensive man, he's got

572
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 7: a he's got a great sense for the passing lane

573
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 7: and feels like and things like that. He's a high

574
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 7: level basketball player. We're we're really excited to have him

575
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 7: here at Kentucky's.

576
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 3: Do you you know, looking at the roster as it's

577
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: been built, a lot there are a lot of guys

578
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: who've had college success but maybe haven't been the primary

579
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 3: score on their team, or maybe in one case, I

580
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 3: have but sometimes not. Do you feel like a couple

581
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 3: of those guys and if so, who can flourish or

582
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 3: do you think this will be a team next year

583
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: that really the points are distributed kind of widespread amongst

584
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 3: a bunch of guys.

585
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's kind of always the goal is the points

586
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 7: distributed a bunch around everybody, you know, you know, And

587
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 7: we feel like giving these guys more and more freedom

588
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 7: and more and more confidence that we're gonna have guys,

589
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 7: you know, build up and get more confidence that way

590
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 7: like we did it. We did it in previous years

591
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 7: with the other players where they weren't looked at as

592
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 7: a as a you know, high level scoring option, and

593
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 7: we turned a guy in like Alex Barcelo from somebody

594
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 7: who wasn't looked at anything like that into a you know,

595
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,239
Speaker 7: an All American for us at BYU. And and we

596
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 7: feel like just with our confidence and our development and

597
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 7: how we play, and we'll give you a ton of

598
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 7: freedom and we able to you know, develop into.

599
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 3: That you right now, have I believe ten guys on

600
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 3: the roster, do you how many do you all expect

601
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 3: to add? You think, I mean you can do thirteen scholarships?

602
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 3: Do you expect to fill all of them. Do you

603
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: expect when do you think the roster will be filled?

604
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, we're recruiting obsessed with this fan base.

605
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 3: Where tell folks where you think it's going in the

606
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 3: next few weeks.

607
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 7: You know, I think we'll close out to twelve here

608
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 7: in the next couple of weeks or so, and then

609
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 7: you know, maybe it could be thirteen. But we're definitely

610
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 7: to get thirteen. We're definitely gonna feel all thirteen scholarships,

611
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 7: but we're gonna feel you know, one and two and

612
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 7: then and then we'll keep this third unless we feel

613
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 7: like it's a no brainer and we got to have somebody.

614
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 7: But you know, we're gonna fill this roster. We're just

615
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 7: gonna take our time, probably in that thirteenth to one.

616
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 3: Okay, that makes in case something comes up later, because

617
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 3: I guess in today's world it always can.

618
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 7: Right, Something's always changing. I mean, look, just you know,

619
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 7: the Wyoming coaches want to be insisted at Texas Tech,

620
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 7: and you know, you never know what European kid's gonna

621
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 7: want to, you know, play college basketball late. I mean,

622
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 7: it's just things are so fluid and changing in this

623
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 7: college basketball environment.

624
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 4: Right now, it.

625
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 3: Looks like you're gonna have a team full of you know,

626
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: when I look at that roster, and depending on what

627
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 3: you add, it doesn't look like it looks to me

628
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 3: like all ten of those guys come and could say

629
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 3: I think I can get minutes, and maybe when you

630
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: add the other three they'd be the same way.

631
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 4: Do you expect? Is that what you guys want?

632
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 3: A big cop petition with people to try to actually

633
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: get minutes on the floor.

634
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah, we want these guys coming

635
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 7: in hungry and starving to play and competing for minutes,

636
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 7: right like at the end of the day, Like Coach

637
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 7: Pope can sell that better than anybody, right he was.

638
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 7: He came off the bench and won a championship in

639
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 7: ninety six and he was drafted. And that's the most

640
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 7: important thing is competition, and it's just going to breed

641
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 7: everyone to get better. And that's what we're all about,

642
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 7: getting these guys better.

643
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 3: Kentucky fans are obviously used to over the last you know,

644
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 3: fifteen years, going after top five, ten fifteen recruits, got

645
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 3: a ton of them. Well, you're alls recruiting style for

646
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 3: high school guys be to go get guys like that,

647
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 3: or to try or will it be a different type.

648
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people have wondered.

649
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 3: Filling this roster was one thing because you have to

650
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: do it quickly, but long term, what's your what is

651
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: your thought process on high school guys going forward?

652
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 7: You know, on high school guys going forward, We're just

653
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 7: going to kind of mesh it young guys with with

654
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 7: older guys for sure, Like we are for sure going

655
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 7: to go after the best players in the country that

656
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 7: are going to fit the way we want to play

657
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 7: and fit our style and fit like this program. Right,

658
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 7: So we're gonna We're gonna do both. We're gonna mesh

659
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 7: this together best we can and get guys that want

660
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 7: to win championships here.

661
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: So everybody now knows you as the guy who does

662
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,959
Speaker 3: the boom thing. Ryan Lemon already created his own one

663
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,239
Speaker 3: a minute ago. Uh So tell me how did that

664
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 3: come about? And is it true that you do actually

665
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 3: ask the kids which boom they want in order to

666
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 3: put it?

667
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 7: Yeah? Great question. So I mean this started. You know,

668
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 7: I've been you know, putting little gifts out when I

669
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 7: was at Utah Valley and BUYU anytime we'd get a

670
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 7: recruit and things like that. And also in this first one,

671
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 7: we had you know a bunch of different guys on campus.

672
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 7: You know, I think we had like what the seven

673
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 7: or cruits in five days something crazy like that. And

674
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 7: and uh, you know, just during one of it, I

675
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 7: just you know, dropped this boom gift. But it wasn't

676
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 7: meant to be just for specifically that, but it just

677
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 7: kind of turned into its own thing. And now I

678
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 7: gotta do the boom for every single one of them.

679
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 7: And and the last three it's it's kind of gone

680
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 7: to all right, which which one do you want?

681
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 4: That's awesome. That's a great tradition to start, though.

682
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 3: I mean, like, and you're scooping all the reporters, like

683
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: everybody's trying to break your break, the scoops on who

684
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 3: commits and Cody, you're beating everybody on it.

685
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, and and they you know a lot of people

686
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 7: are reaching out and different reports this and that, and

687
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 7: you know, I don't want to say who it is

688
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 7: or anything like that, because you know, I want the kids,

689
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,959
Speaker 7: I want it to be their moment, right, But I

690
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 7: just want to make sure I get I let our

691
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 7: fans know, like, hey, something good is about to happen,

692
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 7: this and that, and and I still want the kid

693
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 7: to be able to do it themselves. That's that's that's

694
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 7: It's been a lot of fun for the kids. Like

695
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 7: I got other recruits, parents and and all these people

696
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 7: hitting me up. They're like, oh man, this is awesome.

697
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 7: I love that you guys are doing that.

698
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great that's it's a great idea. I mean,

699
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 3: it's amazing to me. Maybe other coaches do it, but

700
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: I don't know of it. I think it's actually really

701
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: really smart.

702
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been it's been a lot of fun, and

703
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 7: the parents and the kids are really enjoying it. So

704
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 7: I guess I guess we're gonna stay with it.

705
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 4: You I guess I guess you have to. That's right.

706
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: One more thing, and then I want to talk about

707
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 3: the Club Blue part of this, you guys. You guys,

708
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 3: I think the media here and we're part of this

709
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 3: is probably a lot different than what you're used to

710
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 3: it BYU. And honestly, what's a most programs people trying

711
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 3: to find out everything at all times, and even and

712
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 3: in recruiting specifically, does that make it hard? Like the

713
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 3: media knows about some of your interest in somebody maybe

714
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 3: before you want them to. Is that ever something you

715
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 3: guys have to worry about.

716
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 7: I guess here and there, you know, you're kind of

717
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 7: are like, oh, man, like that get out already, just

718
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 7: because you want to. You want to protect the kids

719
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 7: at the end of the day. So I guess that's

720
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 7: the only thing that's kind of like, you know, I

721
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 7: love it, like that's what we want. We want a

722
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 7: fan base that really cares. We want people that really care.

723
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 7: But you also want to protect these kids at the

724
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 7: end of the day. So I guess that would that's

725
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 7: the That's the only time where I just kind of

726
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 7: have like, all right, let's let's take a break here

727
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 7: for these seventeen eighteen, you know, nineteen twenty year old

728
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 7: kids that that that trying to figure out their lives.

729
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 7: That's the only thing that I get kind of a

730
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 7: little you know, irritated about.

731
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 4: I guess, yeah, well I understand that. All right.

764
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,759

765
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 7: a top ten program, and it's like it's nothing compared

766
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 7: to Kentucky. This place is unbelievable. So we got a

767
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 7: lot of our players that are excited to meet these

768
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 7: friends and be a part of this deal.

769
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: Just between me and you, Cody, nobody's listening. Is that

770
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 3: Carr dude talk as much trash as it seems like.

771
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 3: He seems like the kind of guy his fan base

772
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 3: is gonna love.

773
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 7: Oh, it's it's all day every day. He was at

774
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 7: West Virginia, you know this last year. Yeah, he was

775
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 7: at West Virginia and I recruited him. I got an

776
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 7: unbelievable relationship with the kid. I recruit him at BYU

777
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 7: fifteen different times. It feels like and the whole game

778
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:18,000

800
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 5: and get basketball answers and basketball perspectives and playing the

801
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 5: game of basketball.

802
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 4: Probably the two news pieces.

803
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 3: They're gonna take two more spots and then leave the

804
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,560

807
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,680

Speaker 6: in the past and gonna be a deep bench. It

812
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 6: sounds like I'm looking forward to it to how things

813
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 6: look us.

814
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,359

815
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 3: what works and what does it. But it's clear completely

816
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 3: different mindset than what we had before, right, and it

817
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 3: will be interesting. I don't know that there's gonna be

818
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 3: very many cultural changes quicker than what we're gonna go

819
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 3: through over the next few months, I think.

820
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 5: So you know, we saw cal Cal preferred to only

821
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,839

822
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 5: with those guys. Well we say, even Pope and by

823
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 5: you man, they've had ten guys. Man, they rotate everybody in.

824
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 5: That's why they like to put these pieces together strategically

825
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 5: to make the roster.

826
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,560

881
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,319

882
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 3: if you remember the Ryder Cup teed off, it was

883
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 3: Anthony Kim versus Sergio in the first group. If you

884
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 3: remember Anthony Kim teed off, Sergio went in the water

885
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 3: and he took a questionable drop that and then Anthony

886
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 3: Kim was like, do what you want, bro, and they

887
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 3: were talking trash and I thought, man, I gotta get

888
