00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,759

00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,920

34
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: the Lakers and the Pelicans.

35
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 5: Very confusing, It's not that confusing.

36
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 4: It's pretty easy. So did you know that was going on?

37
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 4: I knew it was happening.

38
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 6: Well, I admit this is about the time I start

39
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 6: to pay attention to the NBA.

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 4: Like I watched the.

41
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 6: Standings and I know who's good. But as far as

42
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 6: sitting down and watching NBA, this is about when I

43
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 6: actually get into it.

44
00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

45
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: I was very excited last night. I was like, I'm

46
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: gonna sit down, you know, take my mind off of

47
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: everything UK basketball. Watch the Reds first three batters, three

48
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: runs for the Mariners, and we were pretty much over

49
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: right there, it was over. There's a new kind of

50
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: bet though, they have at DraftKings. I like this one, Shannon,

51
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: which is you can bet a team to win and

52
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: if they ever get up by two runs, you win

53
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 3: the bet.

54
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: Really, ye's a good bet.

55
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 3: So you know, I emotionally hedge and bet against the Reds. Yeah,

56
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 3: I won within five minutes.

57
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: Really it was run. It was two and hold games over,

58
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 4: you know. So then so then I can like, you

59
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 4: can double up.

60
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: That's actually the best because I'm emotionally hedging with the bet.

61
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: But then if I've already won, then I can fully

62
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: be like, now the Reds win two, that's a great Shannon.

63
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 4: That's a double dip of happiness.

64
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 2: Being a Reds fan. If you win too, that's a streak, baby,

65
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: that is.

66
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: And by the way, I will talk about later. I

67
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: have my favorite bet maybe I've ever made. Is for

68
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: today baseball today, No, no, no, something else. Okay, you'll see

69
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 3: I'll talk about it. But we gotta start with UK basketball, right,

70
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 3: So let's go over a lot of news since the

71
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: last time we've been on the air. Probably more things

72
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: have happened since the last time we got on the

73
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: air than anything. Let's talk roster first of all, the

74
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: guys that were on the team and are not on

75
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 3: the team.

76
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: Let's go through it.

77
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: Big Z transferring to Arkansas on all of these, I

78
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: want you to give me your five second thoughts.

79
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 4: Big Z to Arkansas.

80
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 5: I'm surprised. I thought you talking to Mark Pope. He's

81
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 5: perfect for my Pope's system. I thought it might convince

82
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 5: him to stay here.

83
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 6: I'm not surprised with Cal getting him over here at all.

84
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 6: He did to get him able to play last year.

85
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 6: I assumed he'd stay loyal to him if he stayed

86
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 6: in college.

87
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am not surprised. Little disappointed at the same time, though,

88
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: if he's the one that brought you over here, you

89
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: can see why you would end up going to Arkansas.

90
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 4: We have to live in Arkansas, though, that's the hope.

91
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: I have better food down there in Arkansas.

92
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 4: He didn't. He didn't love that, right. Yeah, he gets sick.

93
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: Luck gets sick a lot when he was here, all right,

94
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: Ugo to the draft.

95
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 5: That surprises me and not coming back, not coming back,

96
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 5: that's that's the biggest shocker, the biggest surprise of anything

97
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 5: that happened to me yesterday, Ugo.

98
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 6: I knew he wasn't coming back to Kentucky, but I

99
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 6: thought he'd go to the Portal and find another home

100
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 6: in college. I'm I'm pretty surprised that he said he

101
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 6: is staying in the draft.

102
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I wish him the best, Like this

103
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: is not the time for him to go to the NBA,

104
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 3: just in terms of.

105
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 4: Style of play, like it's gonna be an uphill road.

106
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: But I hope he makes it. And I knew he

107
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: wasn't going to stay here as well, But I'm surprised

108
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 3: draft and no consideration of anything else.

109
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: What about you, shit, I'm with you.

110
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: That was a shocker for me. A little bit of

111
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: a head scratcher. He's a guy that you know, provided

112
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: a good defense for Kentucky. But was he did I

113
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: hear that he's billing himself to the scouts as an

114
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: offensive powerhouse. Nobody's firing that.

115
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: Well, how do you yourself to this?

116
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: That's what Billy was telling me that.

117
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

118
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: I guess the communication was that he has a great

119
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 2: off sensive game, and I'm thinking.

120
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: But I mean, when you say that communication was Billy, Like,

121
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 3: who is he talking to?

122
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 4: Would Billy have people on the phone put that out?

123
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: Maybe that was maybe that was from his scouts.

124
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: Okay, Billy has scouts. I didn't know Billy had agents.

125
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: Billy r scouts? Is that what is all right? So

126
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 4: they were those?

127
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 3: Then Boogie Flann this morning is asking out of his

128
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: letter of intent.

129
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 4: This is just further what I said.

130
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: The moment Cal left, which is assume none of these

131
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: people are coming back. And I don't think any of

132
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: them are. I think it's going to be Travis Perry

133
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 3: and a bunch of new guys.

134
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, what we've seen so far, I'm not surprised at

135
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 6: all of the guys on the last team. We also

136
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 6: had Bradshaw going to Hoigo State.

137
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 4: He's one.

138
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 6: I also not surprised he went to a different school.

139
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 6: I didn't know that it'd be Ohio State though.

140
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: But we will play against him next year.

141
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 6: And Joel Justice will be his coach. Oh is Joel

142
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 6: Justice going on? So will Joel Justice be with Aaron

143
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 6: Bradshaw on Draft Night?

144
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 4: Next? We will get Joel Justice and Aaron Bradshaw next year.

145
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: Hope Bradshaw plays well he's the one guy on the

146
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: team that I think is a lot better than what

147
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: we saw for whatever reason.

148
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I you know, is he an NBA player.

149
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 3: We'll see, But I do think he's the one player

150
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 3: that we did not see nearly to meet Ryan what

151
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: he can beat.

152
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, he started out, he had the foot surgery in

153
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 5: the summer, and it just seemed to never get back

154
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 5: to where we thought he was going to be all season,

155
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 5: Like it isn't.

156
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I'll say from my view watching that kid,

157
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 6: he had a great attitude. Going back to last summer

158
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 6: when he was injured, people compared him to Shade Sharp

159
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 6: just because that was still kind of fresh. What Sharp did.

160
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 6: Aaron Bradshaw seemed like a great teammate from start to

161
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 6: finish when he lost his minutes now player, So I

162
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 6: hope everyone roots for him.

163
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: Even when he played very little, he was a guy

164
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: that was very into the team. So I wrote, I'm

165
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: pulling for that kid to do well. So so now

166
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 3: let's talk about the staff sources TELKSR. Today's a big

167
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: day for the staff, okay, one way or the other,

168
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 3: So you know, cross your fingers, but they are They're

169
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 3: going after a pretty big staff member. I think we'll

170
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: know very soon, if not today, tomorrow, but it wouldn't

171
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: shot me if it was today, but it'll be very soon.

172
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: And then I think there's still one or two positions

173
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: that there's a lot of different things they're looking at.

174
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: There's at least one potential staff member that if he comes,

175
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: I think a couple of guys come with him, so

176
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: you'll start to fill out the roster a little bit.

177
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: So I think the next forty eight hours are big

178
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: for the staff players. Kentucky gets their first Mark Pope

179
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: commitment this morning. Colin Chandler number thirty five in America

180
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: two years ago, and then he went on a Mormon

181
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: mission to Sierra Leone for the last two years. There's

182
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: a sentence we haven't said about UK basketball players before.

183
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 3: He was probably one of the two or three fastest

184
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: rising players in that high school class. He was like

185
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: ranked out of the top one hundred, and then the

186
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: final one was number thirty three and people said, maybe

187
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: should have made the McDonald's game. Then he's gone, so

188
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: he hasn't played basketball in two years, at least on

189
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 3: an organized scale.

190
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 4: I'm sure he picked one up when he was down there.

191
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: He went to.

192
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: Sierra Leone, So I don't think he's gonna be scared

193
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: of a road game in Knoxville when you go to

194
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: Sierra Leone for your mission. The kid is modern basketball

195
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 3: in a nutshell. And what I mean by that is

196
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: he can score every way. He can score at the basket,

197
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: he can shoot threes, he is he's got a good

198
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: mid range. Like he really is a great score. His

199
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 3: defense will still have to see. But this is the

200
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: kind of kid that you've probably wondered, why don't we

201
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 3: ever get like a kid of with size who can

202
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: really shoot and be versatile. Ryan, Now you're gonna have one.

203
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 3: I think this is a huge commitment for Kentucky and

204
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: for Pope to get started in the right direct.

205
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it sounds like it's perfect for the Pope system

206
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 5: that you know guy can do that. So now we

207
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 5: have a roster of one. We have one guy.

208
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 4: To to Truerry Harry, we have two, let's go.

209
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 6: I I noticed that it's going viral. There's a rule

210
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 6: that on your missions you can play half court but

211
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 6: not full court.

212
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 4: That's a rule. Yeah, that's not a rule. I mean,

213
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I'm learning all.

214
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: This is Mormans say, you know they only play basketball

215
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: in the half court.

216
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 6: I worry a little bit about endurance and getting up

217
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 6: and down the court, But it sounds like he has

218
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 6: been playing in Sierra.

219
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: I need you to look up and see.

220
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 3: If there cannot be a rule the mission you can

221
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: only play half court?

222
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: What would be.

223
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 5: That?

224
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 3: Is a lot everything you can find, because I don't

225
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: I don't believe that there's a rule you could only

226
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 3: play half court.

227
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 4: But maybe he only played half court for space reasons.

228
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 5: Maybe they only had half court, but I don't know that.

229
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 3: But seriously, a kid that spent two years in Sierra Leone,

230
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 3: where I know for a lot of the last few

231
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: years there's been civil war.

232
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if there is right now, but I

233
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 4: know there has been a lot.

234
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure we're gonna get a tough kid twenty years

235
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: old who's gonna be ready to do whatever.

236
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 6: There's also a clip he played against Reed Shepherd when

237
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 6: before he went on his mission. He gets a steal

238
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 6: and goes up for a big two handed dunk. So

239
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 6: just seeing those two on the court together, you know,

240
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 6: maybe Read, even though Pope had that connection, maybe Read

241
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 6: could offer a little more too.

242
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 4: If he knows a last Yeah, I'm.

243
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: Gonna say I found it here. This is on Reddit

244
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: taking tour with here. Mormon missionaries can play half court

245
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 2: but not full court basketball and cannot swim.

246
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 5: That's rule.

247
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: I don't believe that's six and fifty nine.

248
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 4: I don't believe that.

249
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: I think you two have fallen for a Reddit conspiracy.

250
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: There is no way that there is a rule you

251
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: can only play half court I'm and then not swim.

252
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: I don't believe that either. But actually I believe that

253
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: more than the half court and full court, because half

254
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: court full court doesn't make any logical sense.

255
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 4: No, I'm taking all this in. This is new to

256
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: me too. I like you too. What's your source? Red

257
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 4: it get my.

258
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 6: Alien updates and Mormon missionary basketball court.

259
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: It's on red it. It was in the Facebook comment section.

260
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: I've also got on Enzo's quote of him saying, Okay,

261
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: what was UGO's quote? He says, I'm excited to show

262
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: people my ability to shoot, put the ball on the

263
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: floor and create for myself.

264
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: All right, Well, I'm excited to see it too.

265
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see it last year.

266
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 4: I have a new source.

267
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 6: Do you believe NPR dot Org I do believe in

268
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 6: pr Basketball is one of the few sports that Mormon

269
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 6: missionaries are allowed to play. But if they decide to

270
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 6: play basketball, they should not allow the situation to become

271
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 6: too intense or competitive, and should only play half court.

272
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: Are you serious that you believe it? Okay?

273
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: Now, okay, now we gotta get even shape. If he's

274
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: only been playing half court, all right, that's it.

275
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 4: I didn't. I mean, I could still play half court.

276
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: It's the full court that it starts to get a little,

277
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 4: I get a little tiring. At least we know he's

278
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 4: still playing or has been playing basketball. So that's interesting.

279
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 3: So the Mormons don't want them to be competitive on

280
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: their mission. They want them to, like I guess, reach

281
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 3: out and be be non competitive and save their save

282
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: their strength. No swimming, no sports except half court basketball,

283
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: and no sex. Well, but that's given, of course that

284
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 3: would be what you would say. Well anyway, all right,

285
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: yatzi again, why do I Why do I challenge reddit?

286
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 4: Of course you go, wouldn't it be true? All right?

287
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 3: So then, uh Matt Jones of Kentucky.

288
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 4: Sports Radio, I've heard of him.

289
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: He reported last night that Liam McNeely, who's the last

290
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 3: great uncommitted McDonald's All America from this year, so like

291
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: he's the one guy that is uncommitted. Had his first

292
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 3: conversation with Mark Pope last night.

293
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 4: I hear it went very well.

294
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 3: He's choosing between Yukon, Alabama, Michigan, and now Kentucky. And

295
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 3: now Kentucky is trying very hard to get him in

296
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 3: for a visit, and we should know that's gonna happen

297
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 3: probably later today.

298
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 4: But apparently Pope made a.

299
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 3: From sources who tell Matt Jones he made a very

300
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: good impression. Now I don't expect them to probably be

301
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 3: able to get him just because they're light coming in,

302
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: et cetera. But if you could, if you could go

303
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 3: steal Liam McNeely from the defending two time defending national

304
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 3: champs Drew, that would be quite a statement. And he's

305
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: another guy like Colin Chandler that is perfect for Mark

306
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: Pope's system.

307
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 6: McNeely was already posting some positive uk things before Cal

308
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 6: even went to Arkansas. He was kind of one of

309
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 6: the late editions they were trying to add. So it's

310
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 6: a matter of what was in his brain. Was he

311
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 6: looking at Kentucky or looking at Cal But it was

312
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 6: already had in that direction a little bit before everything changed.

313
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 6: It's just a matter of can Pope pick up some

314
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 6: relationships that were already there and keep them going, So

315
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 6: we'll see what happens there.

316
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,040

355
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 4: Commitment. That's right.

356
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: Someone who will go the distance. We might have a

357
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: might have an ability to have a player for more

358
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: than a year. They'll go a distance.

359
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: A lot of this song.

360
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: We're gonna be playing a lot of this That's exactly

361
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: right over the next couple of weeks.

362
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 4: I hope it was.

363
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: So there's a big debate on the text machine about

364
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: this half court rule. Okay, one person right, Matt, I

365
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: was an LDS missionary. We did only play half court.

366
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if it was an official rule, but

367
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 3: it was understood that that was what we were allowed

368
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 3: to do.

369
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: So what if you just broke out a full court game?

370
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: What would happen?

371
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's like any sin, Like it's a sin.

372
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean like you're gonna be like people

373
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 3: kicked out. Yeah, people's sin. I mean we all we're

374
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 3: all sinners. That's what the Lord says.

375
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: Played a lot of full court?

376
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 4: You have played a lot of Well, that's the least

377
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 4: of your worries. What what was the story that you read?

378
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 6: You know, it's always imported to your research. Found A

379
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 6: second source is the La Times Good for you dot com?

380
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 6: Are you familiar with that website?

381
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 4: La Times? Yeah, it is a story from nineteen ninety two.

382
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 7: Okay, so it might be little dated, but it says

383
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 7: George Bush, it's about missions and sports, okay, And it

384
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 7: says other rules include no full court basketball, and then parentheses,

385
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 7: it says missionaries are considered more prone to injuries playing

386
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 7: anything beyond half court and no swimming.

387
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 6: Wow, I don't know about the injuries beyond half it's

388
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 6: a little weird, but yeah, well time so we just

389
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 6: read it.

390
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 4: We just gotta make sure he stays in shape. That's

391
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: the key.

392
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: He's gonna he's gonna be I don't know when he

393
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 3: comes back, but he's gonna be here all summer. I

394
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: also know you know he was in Sierra Leone. Ryan,

395
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: there's a horse named Sierra Leone in the derby.

396
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 4: Oh what do we think you? Here? We go, there

397
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 4: we go.

398
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: There's gonna be some synergy. If Sierra Leone wins the Derby, then,

399
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 3: like we know, he's gonna be grind we win a title.

400
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 3: It's gonna be to close the program down in Fayetteville.

401
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 4: I think that's all gonna happen.

402
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 6: Maybe he comes out onto the track meets might be

403
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 6: against the stuff, but I'm not even kidding.

404
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 3: You spent two years in Sierra Leone. I am not

405
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 3: worried about that kid's toughness. You gotta have like to

406
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 3: go to because again, I don't know what it's like now,

407
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 3: But wasn't that Isn't that the country in Blood Diamond?

408
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 4: Yeah? I only know it from Kanye Yes, and then

409
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: Sierra Leone. I know they were in civil war for.

410
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: A long time. I don't They may not be now,

411
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 3: but I know they were for a long time. So uh,

412
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: I think he'll he'll be good. And now we gotta

413
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 3: keep adding players. Do you want to say one thing

414
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: about players? I know we said this earlier, still true.

415
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: Now you gotta stop judging whoever we get by the

416
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: standards we use during the cal era, Cow was looking

417
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: for something else. We'll talk more about what Pope said

418
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 3: he was looking for in a minute. But Col was

419
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 3: looking for something else. Col was looking for raw talent superstars.

420
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 3: We are not going to get the commitments that we

421
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: got last time. But the question is, are these guys

422
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 3: who can win in this system? I still think you

423
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: need one or two big time talents, But like the

424
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 3: days of us getting five of the top twelve, that's

425
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 3: not gonna happen. But Ryan, I would argue recently it

426
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: didn't do anything for us anyway.

427
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 5: So well, what's your feeling about the transfers guys that

428
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 5: are coming in to talk to him this weekend? They

429
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 5: Kentucky out They're in a good position with any of

430
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 5: those guys.

431
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 3: Oh, I think from what I've heard, they have kind

432
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: of This is kind of how Mark Pope's gonna work.

433
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 3: He has like fifteen guys and he kind of has

434
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: them in an order. So what is that order? I

435
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: do not know. But they got the kid from Drexel

436
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: coming in. I know they want him, right they got

437
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 3: I think they want at least two guys from BYU,

438
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 3: one of them I don't think is into portal yet,

439
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 3: and then there'll be a bunch of others. But you're

440
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: also gonna have dudes who just you have to fill

441
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 3: up with a roster, right, Like I mean, like there's

442
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 3: let me just give any example the guys that left.

443
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 3: I was looking at Andy Katz's list or not any cats,

444
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: ESPN's list of the top transfers. Okay, so they had

445
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 3: like Ugo orcuse me, They had like Ugo was now

446
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 3: not on the list because he's leaving. So they had

447
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 3: like Dialla a due excuse me, a dude at like

448
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 3: thirty eighth, and then they had Bradshaw at like thirty nine. Okay,

449
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 3: So it may hurt us that they go, but that

450
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 3: means there's thirty seven players out there better and the

451
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 3: Drexel kid is ranked like eleven. So according to ESPN,

452
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: if you get the kid from Drexel. That's better than

453
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 3: these guys we just saw leave, right, So I do

454
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: think that's important to remember when you're judging this stuff.

455
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 3: Just cause you don't know the guy that went to

456
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: Pepperdine doesn't mean he's not better durer than the guys

457
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 3: that were here.

458
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 6: There were guys all over the country. Last year Kentucky

459
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 6: played against several of them where they were out of

460
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 6: mid major and just took up a step and didn't

461
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 6: really lose a step in basketball. But Florida was full

462
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 6: of mid major guys and we saw them come into

463
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 6: roup and winning game.

464
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 3: Adu Thiero is a perfect example. We all liked it

465
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 3: do right, would we all have liked to do to stay?

466
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 4: Yeah? Sure. But I think there's a hundred of dues

467
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 4: out there in the country. I do.

468
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 3: I think there's a hundred of those guys. Now, there's

469
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 3: not one hundred DJ Wagners, but there's one hundred of

470
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: do Theerro's, And so we might lose a Do Thuerro,

471
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 3: but we'll go find it different to do Theuerro. He

472
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 3: just maybe played last year at Oregon State. You know,

473
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: we just didn't know who he was. Who's next court

474
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: court go ahead, court.

475
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 8: Hey, Matt, how you guys doing. I was just, uh,

476
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 8: y'all were talking yesterday about how y'all were you know

477
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 8: or Matt said he was surprised at the applause he

478
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,239
Speaker 8: got a repperena. But I was thinking about this, and

479
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 8: I gotta tell y'all, I think you all don't realize

480
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 8: how much you all need to the BBN. Like you

481
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 8: all are such a I mean, you all are like

482
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 8: a sitcom every day like and people love you all.

483
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 8: I mean you all just so that doesn't surprise me

484
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 8: one bit.

485
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: Well, thank you, I appreciate it.

486
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 8: And then I was gonna say another thing about here.

487
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 8: Mark Pope talked so sophisticated about offense and defense.

488
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: That's a nice hey, dude, I thought during the and

489
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: I appreciate the call.

490
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 4: That was very kind of you, sir.

491
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 3: I thought during the Coaching show last night, I was

492
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: sitting there listening to him, and I was like, I

493
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: can't believe I'm listening to this. It's like I'm listening

494
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: to a different thing. I'm gonna go through some of

495
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 3: these statements. Feel free to chime in on what you

496
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: think about him, but I just want to go through.

497
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 3: I tweeted what I thought were his most important comments.

498
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 3: He said, we aren't gonna go out just to get

499
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 3: the most raw talent possible. We're gonna find the pieces

500
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: that come together together to make the best team.

501
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 5: I thought that was the most interesting thing he said

502
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 5: all night. I think the raw talent was definitely a

503
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 5: shot at our former coach.

504
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 4: I don't know if it was a shot. I just

505
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 4: think it's a different philosophy.

506
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 3: I mean, Col's philosophy is get the best talent, it'll

507
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 3: work itself out. Mark's Pope philosophy is get the players

508
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: that fit my system and it'll work itself out.

509
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 6: That's what you were just saying. Like Pope his big man,

510
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 6: he brings him out to the high post and they pass.

511
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 6: He might not not what the number one center. If

512
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 6: it's just a bruiser that you would that throws off

513
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 6: what he's doing.

514
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 3: Ugo would not help. It would be a hindrance to

515
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: what Pope. Yes, now there are teams that Ugo would

516
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 3: be very helpful for, but a Mark Pope team, you

517
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 3: couldn't play ugo like it just wouldn't work. Then he

518
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: said his offense will have a ton of motion. Guys

519
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: will cut and stay constantly on the move. We are

520
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: trying to create space and make teams pay for switching.

521
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 3: Our goal is to keep defenses working by moving the

522
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 3: entire shot clock again, exact opposite of what we saw

523
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 3: last year, which the idea was to create individual driving

524
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: lanes and then either kick out or get to the basket.

525
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: They're gonna move again. Go watch that video of their offense.

526
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 3: They will move NonStop. It will be basketball like, to

527
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: use a phrase some people use the old heads used

528
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 3: to use. Now, is that what we're gonna like? We

529
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 3: will if it works, but it's going to be completely

530
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: different from what we're used to. We'll take a break

531
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 3: talk more about Pope's comments.

532
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 4: After this.

533
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 3: TJ Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ He'll make them pay.

534
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

535
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,000

538
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 2: I would actually like to see that show.

539
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: I would love to see that show. Problem is I'm gone.

00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 3: people need in the nowadays.

543
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 5: That's nice. That's the next one.

544
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 4: What is the next your fellowship?

545
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 3: Yes, it's the week it was. It's the week before

546
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 3: the first game of the football season. So I'm actually

547
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 3: gonna be gone that week.

548
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 4: I have to.

549
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 3: It's an Aspen though, so I'm not It's not like

550
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 3: I'm going, you know, it'll be nice, but I'm I'm

551
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 3: going to that.

552
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 5: You go from Montgomery, Alabama was the first one right then?

553
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 4: As Yeah. One. It's crazy.

554
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 3: All those people I were in that with, they are

555
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 3: all like every time I turn on, I feel like

556
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 3: somebody I was in that fellowship with is doing something awesome.

557
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 4: Like a woman just had a book come out. She

558
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 4: was on MPR this week.

559
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 3: One of the dudes I was in it with, just

560
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 3: one a big lawsuit against Carrie Lake, the woman who

561
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 3: were in for governor from Arizona. He just won a

562
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: big lawsuit against her because she defamed him. Another guy

563
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: I saw just got a pointed to this big international

564
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: board and then I'm.

565
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 4: Like, we got a new coach. Did any of them

566
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 4: get cheered in Reperina?

567
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right, that's true.

568
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 4: I guess that's a good point.

569
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 3: Somebody just asked me here real quick about NIL and

570
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 3: kind of how it worked, and it's still crazy, but

571
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 3: I did it did make me think about something. You know,

572
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 3: they're gonna create federal legislation at some point to govern NIL.

573
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 3: And here's a little interesting factoid. Probably the person that

574
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 3: will be one of the two or three main drafters

575
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 3: is the person who kind of wrote the Kentucky Rule

576
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: and is now in Congress and is a Kentucky KSR fan.

577
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: So Morgan McGarvey, who I started with at Frost Brown

578
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 3: Todd in two thousand and five. He was in my

579
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: starting class and he's a friend of mine, is likely

580
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 3: going to be one of, if not the head drafters

581
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 3: of the NIL legislation. And he has called me thirty

582
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: five times in the last two weeks to ask me

583
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 3: about who's going to be the coach. So I just

584
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: think that's really interesting. The Big Blue Nation, the laws

585
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 3: that are going to probably govern all of college athletics

586
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 3: for the next twenty five years are very likely to

587
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: be written through by a Kentucky fan who was in

588
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 3: this bar three weeks ago.

589
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 6: Well, when this country was founded, I'm sure that's what

590
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 6: they wanted all of our basketball decisions should be made

591
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 6: by Kentuckians. It's better than not having a Kentucky and

592
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 6: do it. So I trust he'll do the right thing,

593
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 6: keeping a Kentucky in mind. But I just also as

594
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 6: not forget he has the amazing dad jokes.

595
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 4: Yes, he's the one. Yes, just so you all know

596
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 4: who he is.

597
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: You remember at the SEC tournament we talked about his absolutely

598
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: horrific dad jokes.

599
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 4: They were so awful and we.

600
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 3: And we told them and everyone groaned, that is your ni.

601
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 5: That's a guy. Yes, obviously, I guess what he wrote

602
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 5: for the Kentucky the state of Kentucky was that something that's.

603
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: Our law was one of the first state laws in

604
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 3: the country, and he and I believe Max Wise wrote it.

605
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 3: So Morgan's a Democrat, Max Repoblica. I believe they were

606
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 3: the two that wrote it. Maybe somebody else was involved too.

607
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 3: And now on the federal level, because he did it

608
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 3: on the state level, I think they're kind of assigning.

609
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 4: To him on the federal level.

610
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, who would have thought the dude I ate at

611
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: Skyline with twice a week and he'd go, we gotta

612
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 3: get rid of Billy Gillespie.

613
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 4: This is absolutely ridiculous. Who would have thought that guy.

614
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: Is now going to be the one to UH to

615
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 3: do it? Twenty two seven. Let me read you a

616
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 3: couple more Mark Pope quotes real quick. He then says,

617
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 3: and of course I lost it.

618
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 4: In his eye. I have one that stood out here,

619
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 4: go for it. Which one stood out for you?

620
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 6: I was very worried because there's evidence of him telling

621
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 6: UH fans not to do the horns down, that he

622
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 6: would kind of tell us not to el's down. But

623
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 6: someone asked last night and he said, I'm not touching that.

624
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 6: I'm not telling Big Blue Nation what he said.

625
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 3: I will not tell Big Blue Nation what to do

626
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 3: on ells down, which means we're keeping the I was

627
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 3: keeping the els down regardless, Mark.

628
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 4: But yes, that was my biggest takeaway.

629
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: He I love this quote, and you were talking about

630
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 3: if you want to read these as changes from the

631
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 3: last coaching staff, you can, He says. I used to

632
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 3: play defense as with my team the same way. But

633
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 3: then I realized that once I read the data, it

634
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: became clear that changing defenses occasionally forces the most turnovers.

635
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 3: We chart how many possessions of game deviating and changing

636
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 3: defenses will distract teams, and we try to do it

637
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 3: that amount to create turnovers.

638
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 5: How many times have we heard that over the cal era?

639
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 5: Do you know, just mix it up just a little

640
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 5: bit to throw the other team off. I mean we've

641
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 5: heard Mike Pratt, Jack Gibbons, these guys are know a

642
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 5: lot more basketball than we do, kind of even say something.

643
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 3: And then he talked about data. Yeah, He's like, if

644
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 3: you listened, it was all about data. He said every

645
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: game he gets his coaches together and they look not

646
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 3: just at the film, but at the data to decide

647
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 3: what they need to change. I say this with all

648
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: due respect, John cal Perry didn't do that one time.

649
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 4: In I mean he didn't.

650
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean he didn't look at game tape, but

651
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 3: they didn't look at data and say, oh, the efficiency

652
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 3: is here, and that we've got a science nerd as

653
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: a coach. But I'm glad because here's a little secret.

654
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: Nerds start taking over everything. Like nerds run the world,

655
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: except at the presidency level, but at every other level,

656
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 3: nerds run the world. And I actually think the best

657
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: basketball coaches in the next twenty five years are gonna

658
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 3: be nerds.

659
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 6: I mean, NATO it's just went to a final four.

660
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 6: He was in nerd on the list. He was a

661
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 6: math high school math teacher a decade ago. And I

662
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 6: noticed the press conference in Janny Hurley, his second in command,

663
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 6: is a nerd. But before Natoates went off about how

664
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 6: great Kentucky looked in Big Z when he talks about

665
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 6: his own team, he wouldn't even talk about the game

666
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 6: until someone handed him a box score and some analytics,

667
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 6: and he was just rolling off all kinds of numbers.

668
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 6: And it was like half his press conference was math.

669
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 6: And it was just so different than what we had heard.

670
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 6: When Coleich speak about what Kentucky would.

671
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: Do, Pope said the numb quote, the numbers don't lie.

672
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: We do an autopsy after every game so we can

673
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 3: grade ourselves and what we do. The goal is to

674
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 3: make sure we're always doing what is most efficient and

675
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 3: that way we can get better. I mean those are

676
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 3: one efficiency. I mean those are like just that makes

677
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 3: me happy because I think there was a time in

678
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 3: basketball that you could win by motivation and all that

679
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 3: and that still matters. But nerds are now go look

680
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 3: at take a take some time during the NBA playoffs

681
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: and go look at the dudes standing on the sidelines,

682
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 3: with the exception of a couple like Steve Kerr, none

683
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 3: of them look like they can play basketball, even if

684
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 3: they can, because that's not what you do anymore.

685
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 5: Right, modern basketball. And when I heard the things he

686
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 5: was saying, you know, they they do scout the other team,

687
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 5: they do game prep, they do game plan, try to

688
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 5: make for their opponent. Where I think are in the past,

689
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 5: it was just like, hey, we just worry about ourselves.

690
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 5: We don't even you know, study game film or progate

691
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 5: have a game.

692
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: Well that story, which he told as like bragging, but

693
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,479
Speaker 3: he told that story about the Auburn game where Welch

694
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: wrote a game plan up on the board and he

695
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: came in and turned it over and just said fight

696
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: and he was cal was bragging about that. Well, I

697
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 3: know they won that game, but I don't know that

698
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 3: that's the way I would There was a substitution.

699
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 6: I can't remember if you put big z in or

700
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 6: move someone over. And he was asking the press conference

701
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 6: and he was like cut fielding, Okay.

702
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 9: All right, who's neck, Chip Chip, go ahead, Chip Matt,

703
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 9: first time, long time?

704
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 4: Who what?

705
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: Hey?

706
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 9: I just want to say I haven't been this excited

707
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 9: about Kentucky basketball since I watched them win the title

708
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 9: and held in Province, Afghanistan in twenty twelve, one of

709
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 9: the one of the highest points in my life, even

710
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 9: though it was a horrible deployment.

711
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question about that.

712
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 3: You watched the twenty twelve title game in Afghanistan?

713
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 4: Were you by your set? Like, were there other Kentucky

714
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 4: fans there?

715
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 9: Uh No, not around me at the moment.

716
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 4: But did you watch it by yourself?

717
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

718
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 9: They they knew I was passionate enough about this program

719
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 9: and they could see it in my eyes. They were

720
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 9: gonna they were gonna be there for me and.

721
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 4: Support watch it.

722
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 3: And so so like you're in Afghanistan, you win the title,

723
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: we win the title, and then.

724
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 4: What do you do, Like, how do you celebrate?

725
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 9: I don't know.

726
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 4: You just you just the air and go for it. Well? Good,

727
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 4: all right? What else you got? Yeah?

728
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 9: I just wanted to say to everything you got the

729
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 9: other day as far as recognition during the press conference,

730
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 9: you deserve it. I love KSR. I love the way

731
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 9: you guys keep us all connected. I haven't lived to

732
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 9: Kentucky now for close to twenty years, So thank you

733
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 9: for all that you guys do, and I appreciate you

734
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 9: taking my call.

735
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 4: Well God bless you, Thank you very much, sir. That

736
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 4: would be crazy.

737
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think, where's the biggest game in the

738
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 3: oddest place that I've watched. I did watch US win

739
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 3: the National Championship in the parking lot of the super

740
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: Dome on a I watched it in a parking lot,

741
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 3: looking through a gap in the parking lot through a

742
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 3: window into a bar.

743
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 5: It because I was nervous in Indianapolis. You watched a

744
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 5: game you were in like a small Indianapolis.

745
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 3: I watched this beat Louisville in an exercise in a gym,

746
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 3: in a hotel in Dallas. I listened to US beat

747
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 3: Wisconsin in the Final four in my car driving down

748
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: the interstate because I was so nervous. Couple crave A. Yeah,

749
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 3: it's all it's it's usually random places. I could tell, though,

750
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: I mean, this sounds silly, but I could tell I'd

751
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 3: kind of become to resign to us losing with the

752
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 3: fact that I sit there and watch that whole Oakland

753
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 3: game on press row.

754
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 4: I mean I did.

755
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 3: I just kind of become resigned, like we're gonna lose this,

756
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 3: So I'm not even gonna get nervous.

757
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 5: About even the Texas A and M game in National.

758
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 4: Both of them. We all stay there.

759
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't leave. Drew kept looking at me, going,

760
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 3: are you gonna leave? And I was like, yeah, I

761
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 3: think we're just gonna lose. Thank you saying it is.

762
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 4: What it is. Yeah, there's a big difference from earlier.

763
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 4: Big difference, Connor, go ahead, Connor, Hey, man, how's it

Speaker 4: careful going back to Fateville. I appreciate it, and good

786
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 4: luck dealing with all that. I appreciate it.

787
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 10: Love you guys, man, Yeah, you man.

788
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 3: I do think it is a refuel. I think that's

789
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 3: a good way to say it. It's like new energy

790
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 3: has been injected into the program. You know, they're still

791
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 3: gonna have to win, right like, I mean, we're This

792
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 3: will only get you so far, but it is a

793
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: good start.

794
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 5: I gotta admit. After they lost to Oakland, I thought

795
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 5: we're gonna have a couple months of a lot of down,

796
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 5: depressing shows, trying to talk about where we go from here,

797
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 5: And just like that, a week later, I'm ready for

798
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 5: them to start playing right now. I wish we could

799
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 5: play the season. Well, maybe with more than two players.

800
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 5: Let's get a roster, then we'll start playing.

801
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 4: I didn't know how we were gonna honestly, I didn't

802
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 4: know how we were gonna do the show.

803
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 5: I was worried about it.

804
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 3: I was thinking to myself, you know, I'm not gonna

805
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 3: be here in June, in July, but I don't even

806
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 3: know if I can get to June. No, I'm in

807
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 3: it cause, like I knew people didn't want to hear

808
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: me be angry and upset the whole time. But I

809
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 3: didn't know what to say, Like how could I get excited?

810
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 4: You know?

811
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 3: I was just thinking, well, maybe when football gets here

812
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 3: it'll be different. But I it gave me new energy.

813
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 3: I felt like a huge weight had been lifted.

814
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was the main reason I wanted to split

815
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 6: after the Oakland game. I just didn't see a way

816
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 6: the Kentucky fan base could be at one hundred percent

817
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 6: with that same formula. And now that the change has

818
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 6: been made, we're seeing I mean, it's uncomfortable with the

819
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 6: uncertainty and you know, only having two people on the roster,

820
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 6: but there's also a little bit of an excitement of

821
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 6: that uncertainty. We're hearing new things about our new coach.

822
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 6: We're learning who could be an assistant. It's like the

823
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 6: research gives you so many things to look forward to,

824
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 6: because everything got very repetitive under cal even though it

825
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,959
Speaker 6: was players were changing, messaging was the same.

826
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 4: Now it's like, what's next. We get something to be

827
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 4: excited about.

Speaker 3: Sports Radio. Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. White nerdy. You

844
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 3: don't have to be white. You just have to be nerdy.

845
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 3: That's all you gotta do. Uh one person, right man.

846
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 3: I always told my daughter Mary a nerd yes like

847
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 3: being smart and nerdy doesn't ensure you'll be successful, but

848
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 3: you got a better chance. Look at Mike McDaniel, the

849
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 3: coach of the of the Miami Dolphins, Sean McVay. You know,

850
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 3: Andy Reid's kind of an old school guy, but if

851
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 3: you listen to him, I heard right after they won

852
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. I heard my homes he pointed to

853
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: some dude who looked like he'd just gotten you know,

854
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 3: his snot was frozen on his nose, and he was like,

855
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 3: that's the guy that tells us what we should do

856
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 3: mathematically all the time. I mean, they all they have

857
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 3: those guys. You know, everything I do, Everything I do

858
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 3: is driven by either a entertainment or B numbers. Right,

859
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 3: So I look and see what back when I was

860
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 3: on the website all the time, what posts work work right?

861
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 3: What the engagement is on social media? Like everything's got

862
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 3: a it's nerds rule. And so Mark Pope's a nerd,

863
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 3: You're a nerd. I didn't say that, but Mark pops and.

864
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 4: Now of course I am.

865
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's what you uh, I think that's what

866
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 3: you what you want. We do need to talk for

867
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 3: just saying about what's happened at U. Of l seven

868
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 3: players transferred today, and there are rumblings that maybe some

869
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 3: of the Nile promises haven't happened.

870
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 4: Now. I don't know if that's true. Let me be

871
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 4: very clear, I don't know.

872
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 3: But you lose seven players in one day, all of

873
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 3: them are offensive linemen or defensive linemen, and you do

874
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 3: start to wonder, Drew why, And all of them were

875
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 3: guys who had just transferred.

876
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 4: It, So you gotta think.

877
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 6: It might be something to one of the schools. I

878
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 6: was making lots of nil promises so I could believe that.

879
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 6: I don't know what's going on there, But today is

880
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 6: the first day of the portal for football.

881
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have to. They have two weeks to make moves,

882
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 4: so you might see news on the Kentucky front.

883
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 6: I don't know anything in there. I'm just saying that

884
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 6: it can start now. But uh, the portal opened and

885
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 6: had a lot of Louisville folks look in that direction.

886
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 3: A lot of Louisville guys at once. I'm sure we'll

887
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 3: probably hear a couple of Kentucky guys too. We haven't yet,

888
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 3: but I'm sure that'll happen, and they'll probably add a

889
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: couple just two weeks of it, considering the way that

890
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 3: it goes A nine two eight h twenty two. But

891
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 3: you think something's happening there, a Louisville Shannon, Maybe something

892
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 3: going on.

893
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 2: So I get yeah, you got that many guys jumping

894
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 2: in the portal, probably some empty promises that they were giving.

895
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 4: Me some checks that didn't quite clear. What's what's going on?

896
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 4: It sounds like, you know, speaking of checks.

897
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 3: By the way, I went to the bank yesterday and

898
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 3: I said, hey, can I have some checks? And they're like,

899
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 3: you can get forty for fifteen dollars. I was like

900
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 3: it's pretty expensive and they're like, yeah, nobody uses checks

901
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 3: and I was like nobody and they said nobody and

902
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 3: that was I mean. I don't write checks very often,

903
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 3: but I had to write yesterday. I had to write

904
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 3: checks to the irs, and like who knew? Like now

905
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 3: checks are like you just the people know?

906
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 4: What have checks? Do you have a check?

907
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 5: Two of the four of us write checks daily on

908
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 5: this show.

909
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 4: Who are you writing checks too? Daily?

910
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 5: Water company daily?

911
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 3: You pay the by the night mart, you're ready to

912
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 3: write to check? Thirty two cents for Monday, thirty eight

913
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 3: cents for Tuesday.

914
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 5: Shannon and I are two of the dudes. That's still

915
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 5: right check?

916
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 2: No, No, I've modernized. Oh I'm electronic now. I did

917
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 2: write a check to the irs.

918
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 3: I the irs is the only thing I write checks for,

919
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 3: So I guess I can write forty years worth of

920
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 3: well the state too, so twenty years worth of tax payments.

921
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 4: I not buy taxes.

922
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 6: And most of the time that it took was me

923
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 6: looking for my checkbook because I don't think I've used

924
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 6: it since last Agro fifteen.

925
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 4: I am exactly the same. I don't know where it is.

926
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 3: So, but I didn't realize checks had gone away so

927
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 3: quickly that they're like, yeah, it's kind of like gold.

928
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 4: We just don't have them. So I'm good.

929
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 6: I still have a lot of them, got an old
