66
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: But with the TVT tournament coming up, you know, tickets

67
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,440

Speaker 2: This way they do it to get people to go

69
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,160

149
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,960

150
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 6: what really gets you is the pride of Kentucky. Once

151
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 6: these guys come back and they see that crowd and

152
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,039

153
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,600

154
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 6: last year didn't know how relevant they are because you know,

155

156
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,000

158
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 6: year and still get that type of you know, gratification

159
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 6: and that love. It was an eye opener for them,

160
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 6: and I told them, you know, uh, you know, I

161
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 6: know we were just you know, this is a little deal.

162
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,559
Speaker 6: We were playing for a million dollars, but it's bigger

163
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 6: than that, you know. It's is still whenever you put

164
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 6: blue and white on and you're playing around, you're playing

165
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 6: in the Commonwealth. It's like playing again when you're in school.

166
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 6: And you never be more relevant than you are at

167
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 6: the Universe of Kentucky. I don't care where you played

168
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 6: professionally at. You know, I told Tyler, I said, Phoenix

169
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 6: Suns don't remember you. I told Willie Kolinstein, the Sacramento

170
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 6: Kings don't remember you. You know, but you're always going

171
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 6: to be relevant for the rest of your life here

172
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 6: at the Universe of Kentucky. So why not whenever you

173
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 6: have a chance to represent this give it. You're all

174
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 6: like you used to. I think that's why it was

175
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 6: such a success last summer.

176
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: In fact, what you said, these guys came back felt

177
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: the pride of putting that Kentucky jersey on, and the

178
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: fans loved come in the Kentucky Jersey when.

179
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 6: They went to the game, no doubt about it, and

180
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 6: they witnessed that. And then after the first game I

181
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 6: told them, I said, hey, man, we're gonna stand out

182
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 6: here and we're gonna sign every autograph until everybody leaves.

183
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 6: And that's when it started to get back in their souls. Man,

184
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 6: we are back at Kentucky.

185
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 4: Man.

186
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 6: I didn't know it was really really like this because

187
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 6: when those guys came here, they didn't have the University

188
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 6: of Kentucky basketball tradition on their mind. They had this.

189
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 6: They came in as a stepping stone. This is where

190
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 6: I needed to go play for cow because he's going

191
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 6: to have it give me an opportunity to play in

192
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 6: the NBA. It wasn't about the sole impact of what

193
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 6: they were giving people in the Commonwealth. It wasn't and

194
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 6: as a young kid and you're not and that's not

195
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 6: going through your souls, not being taught every day. They

196
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 6: didn't get that, right, They didn't. They didn't, you know,

197
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 6: they were trying to Oh my gosh, you know what

198
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 6: I'm saying. And it was very surprising, but it was

199
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 6: eye opening to me that not only is this a

200
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 6: new generation Okay, But when we came here, and everybody

201
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 6: up until then came here, it was about playing for Kentucky.

202
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 6: I got an opportunity to play for Kentucky. Now, as

203
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 6: you see, it's turn in full circle. Even though these

204
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 6: kids are transferring in. Every last one of these kids

205
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 6: didn't get recruited by Kentucky, but they wanted to. Now

206
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 6: that they have an opportunity to play for Kentucky after

207
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 6: going someplace else, it's like, Wow, I get my opportunity

208
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 6: to play at Kentucky. You don't understand what I'm saying. Yeah,

209
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 6: oh yeah, they're not freshmen. They're already seasoned as college athletics,

210
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 6: I mean college athletes and college basketball players. They're better,

211
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 6: they have more experience. But man, there's still a pride

212
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 6: about there is. Wow, I'm playing at Kentucky now, you

213
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. These guys didn't even recruit me

214
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 6: coming out of high school. But man, now I get

215
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 6: a chance to play at Kentucky. Oh my goodness. It's

216
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 6: it's twofold now and we're getting some cads that you

217
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 6: know that that are humbled enough to be so excited

218
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 6: to put that uniform on. And now they're searching for

219
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 6: the pride and the history and things like that, and

220
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 6: you can't beat it in this day's society because of transferring.

221
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 6: And I al, there's no pride nowhere, but the only

222
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 6: place that you can get that pride from is right here.

223
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's probably why Willy Harrison Twins want

224
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: to come back and play again this year, no.

225
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: Doubt about it.

226
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 6: I think, hey, WILLI wants to move here now, you know,

227
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 6: because he you know he But but Willy for the

228
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 6: most part, spent more time here than most of those guys.

229
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 6: He did three years, remember, so he has more time

230
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 6: of and more experience living here, becoming more appreciative of

231
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 6: who he was as a University Kentucky athlete more so

232
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 6: than those other guys.

233
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: And that plays a difference.

234
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: Now, the last year the games were at rough moving

235
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: the games memorial costume this year, and if I'm not mistaken,

236
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: there's four games on Friday the eighteenth, and thank you,

237
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: guys may play the Blast one the last.

238
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 4: So there's eight teams in this region.

239
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: You feel pretty good about getting out of the region

240
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: and maybe enough people come by the tickets we can

241
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: host the regional.

242
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 6: Then after that, well, I think so you know what

243
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 6: I mean. And the good thing is we do have

244
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 6: home court advantage. You never know because we don't know

245
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 6: who the other rosters just yet of the other teams,

246
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 6: But when do.

247
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 4: They have to be turned in?

248
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 6: Y doesn't have to be turned in for a little bit,

249
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 6: so you know it's hard to do.

250
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 4: You got a good other guys added to your roster.

251
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 7: You think we may have one one more.

252
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 6: Really we may have one more.

253
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 4: Really they had one more.

254
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 6: So that that telling you what, man, twenty Beckham is

255
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 6: the best. And I'm not saying this just because we're

256
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 6: working together right now. Twenty Beckham is a really smart

257
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 6: individual and I think he really would be good in

258
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 6: the NBA and the front office for somebody. That that's

259
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 6: how much I think of this young man. Well, everybody

260
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 6: was here last year. They said the reason they were

261
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 6: here was because of twenty twenty. Convinced me that this, well,

262
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 6: I would have fun.

263
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: We get a good competitive team, because you don't want

264
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: to come down here and not have you have a

265
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: competitive group of guys exactly. But even the roster you

266
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: just laid out, do you kind of know in your

267
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: mind who you're starting five is probably gonna be already

268
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: that's kind of tough.

269
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 6: But you know what, I'll tell you this. I got

270
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 6: a bunch of toys in this Christmas time, and I'm

271
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 6: gonna play with every last one of them.

272
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: I promise you that they do the battery right there now,

273
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: not the thing that the batteries don't last very long

274
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: in these guys. You know, guys are geting a little

275
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: older now, exactly.

276
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 6: So you know last year when when they sustained left,

277
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 6: that was a big blow. Yeah, because not only was

278
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 6: he the best player on our team, he was the

279
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 6: best locker room guy. He was everything for us, and

280
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 6: when he left, it kind of killed him a rale going.

281
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 4: Out to Philadelphia. Yeah, but who's your locker room guy

282
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 4: this year? Out of your roster? You think, who's that guy?

283
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: I don't know yet.

284
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 6: I don't know. I have no idea, you know, because

285
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 6: you gotta remember, now, besides the guys that I coached

286
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 6: last year have coached last year, I don't know these guys.

287
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 6: These guys are a lot younger than me, that's true. But

288
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 6: that's the gratification that I'm getting because I get to

289
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 6: meet these young guys and I get to hear their

290
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 6: stories or their experience at the University Kentucky for the

291
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 6: little time that they were here, and they get to

292
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 6: hear mine, you know what I mean from from I mean,

293
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 6: it's it's hard to say, and it's hard for me

294
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 6: to swallow, but I am an older statesman. Now you're

295
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 6: compared to these guys, the guys, so my history is

296
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 6: enough to where they could capture their attention. And not

297
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 6: only that, show my appreciation for those guys.

298
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,200

325
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: TBT coach, which I can't leave you. Guys don't even

326
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: start practicing until the eleven and then you play one

327
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 2: week later.

328
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 4: On the eighteenth. I guess you could have three practices

329
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 4: a day though, if you want to. Oh yeah, we're uh,

330
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 4: we're gonna get after that problem. Shod that.

331
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: So your other job you picked up this summer, you

332
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: were named the head basketball coach at Scott County high School.

333
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 4: So I've really not seen you since the congratulation. Appreciate it,

334
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 4: Appreciate it.

335
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: You know, Billy Hicks was a living langend out there

336
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: at Scott County. Every time I can Scott County High

337
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: School basketball, I think of Billy.

338
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 4: Sicks, know that about it. Did a great job.

339
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 6: You know, is one of the top coaches in all

340
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 6: of Kentucky high school basketball and and created a tradition,

341
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 6: uh and and an aura of you know at Scott

342
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 6: County that that's unpeccable, especially in the state. I mean,

343
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 6: you know, when you speak of Kentucky high school basketball,

344
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 6: you gotta you gotta put Scott no doubt, no doubt.

345
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 6: And he he created that and and you know it's

346
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 6: I got some shoes to you know, some pig shoes

347
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 6: to feel.

348
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 4: But I'm looking forward to it because you always, as

349
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: a coach, want to.

350
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 6: Go somewhere where basketball is important and and you got backing,

351
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 6: you got support. It's hard to go to a place

352
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 6: where and be successful at a place that nobody really

353
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 6: cares and turn that deal around. So I'm stepping into

354
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 6: a great situation. I'm looking, you know, looking forward to it.

355
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 6: You know, they haven't you know, been as successful as

356
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 6: they have been the last three four years, but you know,

357
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 6: the buzzes out and the excitement started, and I'm looking

358
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 6: forward to it.

359
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: You're right, Scott County. They're in the late nineties, early

360
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: two thousand run. They were in the state finals every year,

361
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: won the state championship. Last couple of years, it hasn't

362
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: been quite what Scott County basketball expects, So I guess

363
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: that's a big part of what you're trying to do.

364
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: Bring that love and tradition back to the fan base

365
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: of Scott County basketball.

366
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 6: Well, Scott County, Scott County, you know what I mean,

367
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 6: And that's the history of Scott County. You know, they

368
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 6: got a new school which we all know, you know,

369
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 6: Great Crossing, who had a generational talent in Malicy Marino,

370
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 6: you know who. It was kind of weird how it happened,

371
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 6: you know, coach Hicks retired. The coach there now was

372
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 6: the middle school coach who had those kids, and it

373
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 6: was almost like a natural feeder to him because he

374
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 6: had the relationship with those kids growing up and they

375
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 6: all went with him to Great Crossing. Then he did

376
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 6: a great job at Great Crossings, really taking advantage of

377
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 6: the talent that he that he had, especially with you know, Malachymarno,

378
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 6: And when you have a seven footer like that, who

379
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 6: doesn't want to be involved and join that type of

380
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 6: team because you know he's gonna get recruited by everybody

381
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 6: in the country. So if he's getting recruited by everybody

382
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 6: in the country, shoot, I just want his leftovers from

383
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 6: the colleges that he's not going to consider that come

384
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 6: look at me.

385
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 4: So it was timing big time.

386
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: Well, best of luck to you over in Scott County

387
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: as well as TVT. But before you go out, we

388
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: got to talk to UK. I mean, you know, you

389
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: did some basketball pregame shows with us. You know you

390
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: were still kind of involved with watching the team. Was

391
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: what was the one thing you left most impressed about

392
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: what happened with last year Mark Pope's first year at UK.

393
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 6: He solidified what Kentucky basketball is all about. He made

394
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 6: Kentucky basketball fun for the Commonwealth again. He gave our

395
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 6: team back to the Commonwealth and that's what that what

396
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 6: has made Kentucky what Kentucky is. You know, you can't

397
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 6: go away from the Commonwealth being at Universe Kentucky.

398
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 4: This is the Commonwealth's team.

399
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 6: This is what makes it Kentucky unlike any other place

400
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 6: in America. And he brought that back. Not only that,

401
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 6: you know, his first year. You know, no matter if

402
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 6: you're a former player or not, no matter how good

403
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 6: you are, you're still nervous because you're you're coming into

404
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 6: the best place in all the collage sports to be

405
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 6: the head. Even though you were a player here, you know,

406
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 6: and you've been to BYU, you've been to the Utah Valley,

407
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 6: but this is Kentucky. And I thought he learned on

408
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 6: the fly, and he made adjustments on the fly. And

409
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 6: I thought he maximized that team as much as he

410
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 6: could given the circumstances.

411
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 4: I thought they were pretty good. I thought he had

412
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 4: silent guys.

413
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 6: I thought he had solid personnel guys, and you gotta

414
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 6: have that. I thought he had the right chemistry at

415
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 6: the right time for his first year. You know, he

416
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 6: didn't have any prima donnas. He had guys that were

417
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 6: hungry and excited and really appreciative of putting that uniform on.

418
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 6: And I thought he got everything out of them. I

419
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 6: think he learned now that you got to teach defense,

420
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 6: you know. And I think that's what he went and

421
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 6: did this year. He got some guys not only that

422
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 6: can run his system and can shoot the basketball, he

423
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 6: got some tough guys that are defensive minded, that came

424
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 6: from tough teams that defense was a fixture of their deal.

425
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 6: And now, you know, I went over there one day

426
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 6: last week and it was a different type of aura.

427
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 4: Really, it's a toughness era.

428
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 6: I thought last year was really just good old guys,

429
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 6: won't shoot the basketball. You know, seventy five percent of

430
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 6: your practices are really just shooting offense. And he really

431
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 6: hangs his hat on, you know, their offensive system. But

432
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 6: he realized this is the SEC, and it's a grinding conference,

433
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 6: and if you don't play defense, I don't care how

434
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 6: much how many points you score. Because you know, at

435
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 6: the beginning they were scoring a lot of points, but

436
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 6: once they got into the deep the think of things

437
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 6: in the SEC, those ninety point games were not that

438
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. They came down to defensive

439
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 6: possession things like that. So he made sure that that

440
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 6: wasn't gonna be the case this year. He's playing defense

441
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 6: more this year. Part of his summer this year is

442
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 6: really implementing toughness on defense, how you play defense. They

443
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 6: worked on that a lot, and that's who I am.

444
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 6: So that's very, very refreshing to me to see these

445
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 6: guys really really getting after from a physical standpoint. And

446
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 6: you got some competitors. Last year, everybody wanted to be

447
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 6: friends with each other. This year, this is getting pretty chippy.

448
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 6: It's competitive situation. Ready, it's competitive, and these guys want

449
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 6: to play. And he brought in some dudes, and he

450
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 6: brought us some competitive dudes, so you know, and the

451
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 6: biggest thing and God works some mysterious ways. Alway is

452
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 6: going to be a twelve year pro. I think, I

453
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 6: really do think that. I think he's going to I

454
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 6: think because of who he is is work cat. I

455
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 6: think he's a great locker room guy, and he's gonna

456
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 6: be like a Keith Bogan's uh type type of kid

457
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 6: uh that can that can just last in the NBA

458
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 6: because the shot is gonna get better. But I think

459
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 6: he's he's got all the other intangibles from as far

460
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 6: as winning. He's tough, he defends, he offense, rebound, he'll

461
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 6: guard the other team's toughest best player. And once he

462
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 6: gets making that open jump shot, because in the NBA,

463
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 6: you ain't got a breakdown no more. You know, you

464
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 6: got to be good at one of two things. He's

465
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 6: never gonna be the guy out there dancing with it,

466
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 6: creating for others. He's gonna be the guy who's sitting

467
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 6: there waiting on the shot and then guarding the other

468
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 6: team's best player. He's gonna be the modern day Bruce Bowen.

469
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 6: Remember Bruce bowing for the San Antonio Spurs. That's who

470
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 6: I see that Totaga, that's Totega. Get a couple of minutes.

471
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 6: But fans, are you know we're crazy?

472
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 4: Anyway?

473
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 2: Is this a roster that most fans believe can get

474
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: to the Final four?

475
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 6: If he can get to the Sweet sixteen throughout injuries

476
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 6: last year, yeah, okay, And if they can shoot the

477
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 6: ball seventy five percent just as good as they did

478
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 6: last year, I think they can. This team has the

479
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 6: making to get to a Final four simply because I

480
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 6: think they'll be tougher defensively, okay, which they can match

481
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 6: the Houston's and the Saint John's and.

482
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 4: The people like that.

483
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 6: You know, at that level, that Ectly, that elper echeline

484
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 6: level to the Connecticut's.

485
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 4: I think we'll be able to compete with him. From

486
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 4: a physical and defensive.

487
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 6: Standpoint, I think his offense is going to take care

488
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 6: of itself, and I think he's got a point guard

489
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 6: that's a really good playmaker that doesn't.

490
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 4: He's got to be good, right, Low has to be good.

491
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I know Lowe's dad.

492
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 6: I've been knowing low since he's a little bit of

493
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 6: kid because they come from the John Lucas Tree in Houston.

494
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 6: If low can sustain and be the guy that we

495
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 6: want him to be, he's got to be tougher. Though

496
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 6: defensively okay, there's questions about him. But if he can

497
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 6: be that guy, the the straw that stirs the coffee

498
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 6: with what he brings, he's a He's a pick and

499
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 6: roll jewel. If he can stay healthy and stay tough

500
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 6: and match everybody's intensity. From a defensive standpoint, Kentucky is

501
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 6: a player and has the potential just as much as

502
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 6: anybody else to get to the final four.

503
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:11,840

Speaker 7: Coach Jerry Clayburn was his first class that actually went

00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 2: that man.

594
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 8: Well, let me phrase it the best way you can.

595
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 8: When you're seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty, he got on on

596
00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 8: the herbs.

597
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 7: Okay, that's okay. But once once.

598
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 8: You realized and you got older, you realized that he

599
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 8: was teaching you for not for seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty,

600
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 8: he was teaching you for being a man twenty one

601
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 8: on the whatever age that God blesses you to hand

602
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 8: that with.

603
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 4: So let's talk about UK football. Please.

604
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: I want you to talk as a former player and

605
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 2: a fan. First, we'll talk to you about a dad

606
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: here in a minute. Okay, As a former player and

607
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: a fan goes to the games, what do you think

608
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: what was the problem last year?

609
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 8: Well, as I looked at as a fan and having

610
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 8: my tickets and I'm setting now I've been there before

611
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 8: my son got there. To go back to that real quick,

612
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 8: it was like pleasing, as I said, as a fan

613
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 8: and a coach, and it looked like they were trying

614
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 8: to do this, that and that, and there was no identity.

615
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 8: And I mean that not negative toward anybody, but as

616
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 8: a as a big time football program, you got to

617
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 8: have an identity. Now, all the receivers at Alabama, not

618
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 8: doing the comparison, but all the receivers that Alabama guy

619
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 8: had in the NFL, they were a running team. There

620
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 8: was no doubt they don't run the football. They had

621
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 8: some guys that could do it. And I just thought

622
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 8: that that that was different. And I thought that a

623
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 8: lot of times it didn't geil together as a unit

624
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 8: because if you play for the name in front and

625
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 8: you a stud, you're going to get accolades. There's no

626
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 8: question about it from my mind. And I looked at

627
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 8: it from that perspective because we had some guys back

628
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 8: in the eighties. I mean, you had a backfield with

629
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 8: George Adams, Mark Higgs, Mark Logan, average o'hunter, NFL, the

630
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 8: NFL all at the same time. So why did it

631
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 8: all get along? Because everybody understood their role and you

632
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 8: can't get four studs like that. And then you had

633
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 8: myself as a receiver, Joker Phillips as a receiver, Cornell

634
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 8: Burbrite as a receiver, h you know, Oliver White as

635
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 8: a tied end I mean, and Eric Pitts also.

636
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 7: As a receiver.

637
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 8: You just have to jail, and you got to realize

638
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 8: we're all good and we're all going to get paid

639
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 8: sooner or later.

640
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 4: Do you agree or disagree with the thought that a

641
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 4: lot of people feel like the culture slipped a little

642
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 4: bit in the locker room and the program and maybe

643
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 4: that's led to a lot of the issues on the field.

644
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 8: Yeah's actually that's a great question. It's actually a yes

645
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 8: and no question. Culture, sometimes players.

646
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 7: Has got to make it. They got to make it happen.

647
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 4: Yeah.

648
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 6: Uh.

649
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 8: You know, people look at coaches and I say that

650
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 8: biasedly because I'm a coach, But players make plays, players

651
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 8: may play.

652
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 4: Sure.

653
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 8: Uh, there's not one coach that I've ever known in

654
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 8: my life that said I'm going to college play because

655
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 8: I know it ain't gonna work. Every play that you call,

656
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 8: you think it's going to work. So with that said,

657
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 8: I just think that that right there was the biggest

658
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 8: thing is yes and no in situations. I don't think

659
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 8: it happened like all the time one way or the other.

660
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 8: It just sometime it would happen in situation. Their culture

661
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 8: is like Alabama, just keep going to Alabama because we're

662
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 8: very familiar with their success. Sure Alabama to me is

663
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 8: they get down to it. What is the biggest thing

664
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 8: that Nick Saban used to do? He will Nick Saban

665
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 8: his offensive coordinator, he will nick sable him, He'll go ring,

666
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 8: yell at him.

667
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, right, we're running the ball.

668
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 8: I think sometimes you have to say this is our culture,

669
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 8: this is what we're going to do, and we'll go

670
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 8: for now.

671
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: Do you think with the roster that's like I think

672
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 2: Phil Still just predicted Kentucky to finished fifteenth out of

673
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: the sixteen the SEC team.

674
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 7: I disagree.

675
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 4: So do you feel like there's more talent on this

676
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 4: team and the rosters better than we're giving them credit for.

677
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 7: I do. And I said this on a previous show.

678
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 8: I said, when I go and I watch their practices,

679
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 8: and I've been to quite a bit before they have

680
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 8: the break, it was nice.

681
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 7: It was yes, sir, No.

682
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 4: Sir, this is just this year.

683
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 7: This year. It was amazing.

684
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 8: It wasn't any negative emotion going on, you know, because

685
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 8: you know, I'm gonna walk around and and and they

686
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 8: they they allowed me.

687
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 7: I say that, I appreciate that.

688
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 8: Coach students, and I'm walking around, but I ain't saying nothing.

689
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 8: I'm just taking all all in. And I just saw

690
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 8: a lot of hustle, a lot of full speed. Not

691
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 8: I didn't see Holly. I didn't see anyone.

692
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

693
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 8: Second guess in the coach. Second guess in what it

694
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 8: was called offensive, defensively or special team.

695
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 7: And I think that's that's football. Winning football should say.

696
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: How is the Vince Merrill departure gonna affect the team?

697
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 4: You know?

698
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 7: Again? Second great question, Leomon, that's why you get paid.

699
00:30:54,720 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 4: But outdoor dashing in the evening. That makes some money.

700
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 8: But I think that's a little different. I think people

701
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 8: took it the wrong way. To me, there's a big

702
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 8: difference if your OC been here twelve or thirteen years

703
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 8: and he leaves, or your DC been here at twelve

704
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 8: to thirteen he leaves. I think keeping that in cores

705
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 8: is not as big as Vince leave. Vince leaving is

706
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 8: a big deal, but it doesn't truly affect their offense

707
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 8: or defense or special team because he wasn't a coordinator.

708
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 8: And to me, people got to look at that. That

709
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,479
Speaker 8: makes the big difference. If White would have left, that

710
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 8: would have been a problem. Yeah, because now you got

711
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 8: to learn a whole new system. Now you got to

712
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 8: learn a whole new scheme, which.

713
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: Is kind of the offense went through. They had, yes,

714
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,479
Speaker 2: Liam Cohen, you know, they had some different the offensive

715
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 2: coordinator three or four years in a row.

716
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 8: It seemed like, yeah, you can't be successful unless you

717
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 8: have a success system. And all you have somebody's coming

718
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 8: up behind you that's running your system. And that helped,

719
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 8: Like I'm a forty nine, forty nine ers defense has

720
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 8: been awesome because each when the one defensive coordinator left

721
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 8: the next one was the linebacker coach. Okay, yeah, he's

722
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 8: with the we got far from the Jetz. The other

723
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 8: one that's with Texas Texan excuse me. And and what

724
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 8: that said is this past year has been tough because

725
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 8: he was an outsider coming in running the defense. So

726
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 8: going back to the Vince statement, it does affect because

727
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 8: I'm a miss seeing him. Great guy, fantastic person, But

728
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 8: it doesn't affect as much on the field based on offense,

729
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 8: you know, offense and defensive coordinators.

730
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 4: Were you surprised I was shot? I was shocked. I

731
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 4: was shining of It was kind of odd to me.

732
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 8: Thiman was very odd and the toiman could have a

733
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 8: little bit adding onto your question, Lemon, the timing could

734
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 8: have been worse for the kids who are embedded into him,

735
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 8: who loves him.

736
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 7: Yes, I think.

737
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 8: That's what bothered me, because you know, you bring a

738
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 8: kid to here and you set in the parents family.

739
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 8: I've done that and I had that done, and all

740
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 8: of a sudden, the person that brought you there is

741
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 8: not there. Yeah, makes a difference, makes it. It does

742
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 8: make a difference. Yeah, all right, we're gonna take our break.

00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 7: Thank you.

787
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 8: Well, I appreciate that. Uh, it's it's surreal, it really is.

788
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 8: And I I'm I think the biggest part before he

789
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 8: did as his freshman year and when he came in

790
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 8: and he got on the field and I said in

791
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 8: the same section for the last six years before he

792
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 8: came and uh and my my wife, his stepmom, Terry,

793
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 8: made it crystal clear to people around them, watch your

794
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 8: mouth on fourteen because you know, when people get a

795
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 8: little grown full strengths in him, they get a little

796
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 8: to forget that's somebody's child.

797
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 7: And uh, so it's been very good, uh.

798
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 8: Just watching his development, watch his strength, watch his knowledge.

799
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 8: But he's always had that and uh because he was

800
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 8: you know, me being a coach taught that to him

801
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 8: at a very young age and how to watch film

802
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 8: and not just look at the film of watching how

803
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 8: to break them down. So he embedded that when he

804
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 8: came up to the University Kentucky and and then coach

805
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 8: White and coach Pafano, they both saw that.

806
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I've got to watch him growing up

807
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 2: over the years playing as well with Dane and you

808
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 2: know you guys playing summer ball, baseball.

809
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 4: He's a good baseball player.

810
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 2: Yes, he's become a great leader, and I expect he's

811
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: going to be the leader of definitely the secondary, maybe

812
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: the defense this year.

813
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 8: Well, I think so being a leader also knows you

814
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 8: got to do what it takes on and off the field.

815
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 8: You gotta and academically as well, because the leader has

816
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 8: to lead in all three categories. And you know, he's

817
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 8: got a four point zero gpa academics as well. And

818
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 8: he's just uh, he just wants it and he wants

819
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 8: to win for the University of Kentucky, not just for himself.

820
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 8: So and no other kids see that. Other young kids

821
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 8: see that.

822
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 4: Now.

823
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 2: He came on KSR in April with Drew Franklin, right,

824
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 2: everybody was just raving about what he had to say,

825
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 2: how he handled himself. I know that has to make

826
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 2: you feel proud as a dad. Yeah, he's a great athlete,

827
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: but he's also a very respectful young man.

828
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, he very much so is when he was young.

829
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 8: And I tell people this all the time. When he

830
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 8: was young, every time we used to practice doing interviews

831
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 8: when he was like five, six and seven years of age,

832
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 8: and every time he would say, you know, and Jerry

833
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 8: clay Worn used to say if they knew, they wouldn't

834
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 8: ask the question. So I remember that. So we used

835
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 8: to have to run for that for saying, you know,

836
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 8: so I did the same thing. He had to do

837
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 8: push ups. So every time when I would talk to

838
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 8: him about an interview, and he got that down and

839
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 8: know you knows, you know, just Paul's and uh and

840
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 8: so and his major is in telecommunication. So he wants

841
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 8: to be a broadcaster. He wants to be.

842
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 2: He's gonna have He's gonna take our job someday. He's

845
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 8: Yes, well, I think a lot of it to me

846
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 8: has had a lot to do with uh with him

847
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 8: is finishing, finishing what he's uh, what he's doing.

848
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 7: And here at the University of Kentucky on.

849
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 4: I got a couple of minutes. Why do you used

850
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 4: to holler yankee at him? Yankee Yankee?

851
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 8: Yankee, Okay okay yankee is if you remember that, I

852
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 8: remember that I stood do. Yankee is a name that

853
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 8: a friend of mine as a US marshall, and he said,

854
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 8: when Tye was a little he said, you need to

855
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 8: let Ty say a certain name. Okay, he needs to

856
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 8: say something, so if somebody grabs him, you will automatically

857
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 8: go and get him. Everybody, says Dad. And the example

858
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 8: he gave. The example he gave was when a car

859
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 8: alarm goes off, people just look first. By that time

860
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 8: your child's gone. You need to react. So Yankee. He

861
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 8: used to watch this show called Yankee Doodo. It was

862
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 8: a baseball bat and that was his show. But Yankee

863
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 8: is in Lexington. Nobody thinks of the Yankees. So if

864
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 8: he says Yankee to me, I'm running. If I say Yankee, that.

865
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 7: Means right now.

866
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 8: So even today at twenty if I text him and

867
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 8: I say Yankee, he knows I need to speak with

868
00:38:58,640 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 8: him right now.

869
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 4: It's urgent. Sorry, Dad needs to talk to you to

870
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 4: say something. Yeah.

871
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 7: So so here, I.

872
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 4: Remember seeing you on the sidelines, Yankee, Yankee, Yankee.

873
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 2: He'd immediately looked right at you and you're pointing out

874
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 2: something to have him do or coach coaching on the sideline.

875
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, quite often, quite often, but you know, and

876
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 8: and feeling up on the question you said, it's been

877
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 8: very fun. I'm looking forward to him moving around on

878
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 8: the defensive side of the ball and showing his talent.

879
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 8: He's he's very talented. He's very aware of what's going

880
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 8: on in the coach White's defense.

881
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 2: I really think he's due for a breakout year. I

882
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 2: think he's the guy in the secondary. He's due for

904
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 2: calls the pre show calls a KSR involved in a

905
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 2: really bad traffic accident. He's apparently, Billy, he's doing okay,

906
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: but he's he's banged up pretty bad.

907
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's going to be a long road to recovery.

908
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 5: They had to use the jaws of life to get

909
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 5: him out of a car accident. But I think he

910
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 5: is doing better now. So sending our thoughts and prayers

911
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 5: to Peanut and his family.

912
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 2: Shout out to Peanut. Absolutely, hang in there. I kind

913
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 2: of when he calls you, guys, you can't hear him.

914
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 2: He's usually on some heavy machinery. He's trying to call in,

915
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 2: you can't hear him. But he's become a good caller.

916
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 2: And I know a lot of people down there worried

917
