Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to another edition of the KASR Pre Show.
Speaker 1: Today is Wednesday, January twenty ninth. I'm Billy Retluge along
Speaker 1: with Shanon the Dude. You can give us call on
Speaker 1: the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line. It's eight five nine
Speaker 1: two eight h two two eight seven, Texas at five
Speaker 1: oh two two six five six six five six and
Speaker 1: is always The KASR Pre Show is brought to you
Speaker 1: by ital X Fine Italian Dining right here in Lexington.
Speaker 1: I am in Lexington at the City Center. My co
Speaker 1: host Shannon the Dude, was asked to describe himself sell
Speaker 1: himself yesterday and he called himself the hardest working man
Speaker 1: on the planet. Good morning, hardest working man on the planet.
Speaker 2: How yah? I feel like that sometimes when the alarm
Speaker 2: goes off at five thirty in the morning and I
Speaker 2: gotta be here for one, two, three, four five six.
Speaker 2: How many shows do I do a day? I've already
Speaker 2: lost track.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, maybe you should give me that moniker
Speaker 1: this morning after I just hosted the Lee track.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, you came in and you
Speaker 3: did an extra hour.
Speaker 2: But you did, though, have to I guess, stay up
Speaker 2: late and be the producer for the postgame show last night,
Speaker 2: right for Ryan.
Speaker 1: Lemon, I did was Matt on it? Did he call in?
Speaker 1: Matt joined us for the first two segments. It was
Speaker 1: a fun, celebratory show as the Cats get it done
Speaker 1: down in Knoxville, the big win where nobody expected it.
Speaker 1: Yet again, Shannon Mario gets it done on the graphic.
Speaker 1: We look silly, the Cats without their two starting point
Speaker 1: guards and Andrew Carr only playing for a minute or so,
Speaker 1: A big, big win yesterday. We want to hear from
Speaker 1: you this morning. Eight five nine two two two eight seven.
Speaker 1: But Shannon, Man, what'd you think?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 1: It was a It was a good one.
Speaker 2: Last night for the cat First of all, I don't
Speaker 2: think that we looked silly. I think that Tennessee looked silly.
Speaker 2: What were they doing? They shot forty five three pointers.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that they were trying to take
Speaker 2: on Kentucky's personality and they were just they throw some
Speaker 2: ugly shots.
Speaker 3: I'm going like, what are you even doing? You know?
Speaker 2: With Andrew Carr out, My thought was Tennessee's going to
Speaker 2: exploit the big man off the bench for Kentucky and
Speaker 2: go inside more.
Speaker 3: I was shocked that they took that many three point shots.
Speaker 2: That was really my takeaway from the game, and also
Speaker 2: just how well that Kobe Brea played. Jackson Robinson I
Speaker 2: think filled in very nicely at the point, Ansley Alman
Speaker 2: or again off the bench coming in and scoring some
Speaker 2: big threes. Really just an all around impressive win. They
Speaker 2: had to do this similarly in Seattle when they played Gonzaga.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when Butler went out and or.
Speaker 2: No, Cresa was out right, and then I think Butler
Speaker 2: went out too in that game, did he not?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the game they didn't They had Robinson
Speaker 1: go to the point.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we've seen this before, so I don't guess
Speaker 2: it should come as a shock, but you know, that game.
Speaker 2: Gonzaga a great team too, but a little bit different.
Speaker 2: I feel like when you go on the road in
Speaker 2: the conference playing a team like Tennessee.
Speaker 3: It was a very impressive win.
Speaker 2: Tough atmosphere to play in, and it makes me feel
Speaker 2: a lot better about moving forward. You know, I honestly
Speaker 2: didn't feel too good about going into the game last night,
Speaker 2: but they pull off a very impressive victory last.
Speaker 1: On the road in conference against the number one defense
Speaker 1: in college basketball. You have five players that get to
Speaker 1: double figures, and you're now six in one versus the
Speaker 1: top fifteen, as well as being three to o versus Louisville,
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Duke. I mean, what more do you want, Shannon?
Speaker 1: I mean that you give me that before the season starts.
Speaker 1: It and I take it right. I mean, you take
Speaker 1: that ten times out of ten. With Mark Pope in
Speaker 1: his first year at the coach at Kentucky, you know,
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's signing autographs after the game, facetiming
Speaker 1: Grandma's once again. He just gets it, man, And what
Speaker 1: a coaching performance to do that with two starters on
Speaker 1: the bench. I mean, you're playing Travis Perry and Trent
Speaker 1: Noen some serious minutes in this game, and they proved
Speaker 1: us wrong.
Speaker 5: Again.
Speaker 1: You're right about those those shooting numbers though, Shannon. I
Speaker 1: mean Kentucky twelve of twenty four from three to twenty
Speaker 1: five of fifty from the field, fifty percent in both
Speaker 1: of those categories. Meanwhile, Tennessee, I mean they shoot seventy
Speaker 1: two shots in the game, seventy two shots. They threw
Speaker 1: up twenty five of seventy two for thirty four percent.
Speaker 1: And then eleven of forty five from three. Kentucky made
Speaker 1: more threes than Tennessee despite shooting what twenty one less threes.
Speaker 1: That is simply incredible and a testament to a guy
Speaker 1: like Kobe Brea, who Shannon, We've been missing. He hasn't
Speaker 1: played the best over the last few games. So for
Speaker 1: him to step up the way he did, Amari Williams
Speaker 1: on his birthday, Jackson Robinson does it once again, hit
Speaker 1: some big shots. These guys proved. You know that Thompson
Speaker 1: Bowling Arena is like Roup two point zero, right, I
Speaker 1: mean they've had a lot of success in that arena lately.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have, and like I said, that's a tough
Speaker 2: place to play. Kobe Brea last night just couldn't miss.
Speaker 2: That's why I said, even like in games where he
Speaker 2: starts off one for five, I don't think he should
Speaker 2: get discouraged.
Speaker 3: I think they should give him the ball even more.
Speaker 3: We know he's a great shooter.
Speaker 2: I feel like even if he starts off one for five,
Speaker 2: give him another five shots. Those next five very well
Speaker 2: could go down and next thing you know you're looking at,
Speaker 2: you know, a six for ten shooting night. So that's
Speaker 2: always been my gripe about Kobe Brea to shoot the
Speaker 2: ball more. But you know, we were saying yesterday on KSR,
Speaker 2: if I guaranteed you nine and nine in the conference,
Speaker 2: would you take that?
Speaker 3: Right now? I think yesterday we were all saying, yeah,
Speaker 3: it give me nine and nine.
Speaker 2: After last night, I don't know, like you know, I
Speaker 2: said eleven and seven. That still feels like a rule possibility.
Speaker 2: But you know, you also got a hold serve on
Speaker 2: Saturday with calin Arkansas coming to town or you know
Speaker 2: it kind of like, uh, I mean, it still matters
Speaker 2: that you beat Tennessee on the road, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 2: but you can't follow it up with a clunker at
Speaker 2: home against Arkansas. So that game coming up in just
Speaker 2: a few days is really important.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's been weird, right, I mean, you lose
Speaker 1: to Clemson, but you beat Gonzaga in the same week.
Speaker 1: You know, it's happened a couple times this year where
Speaker 1: like you'll win a game versus Florida, but then you
Speaker 1: drop one versus Georgia. You know, this team seems to
Speaker 1: respond very well. Maybe it's because they're so experienceding and
Speaker 1: these veterans can just move on to the next one
Speaker 1: and put a bad performance behind them. But like when
Speaker 1: you're getting four three's a night from Ansley Almanor, I'm
Speaker 1: really encouraged. I mean, when Kobe Brea gets seven free
Speaker 1: throw shots at the line when he had only had
Speaker 1: ten all the way up to the year, I'm encouraged.
Speaker 1: When when they embraced physicality as much as they did
Speaker 1: in this game, I'm encouraged, Shannon, And you know, that's
Speaker 1: the goal is to slowly improve as the year goes along,
Speaker 1: and I think we've we've seen this at times from
Speaker 1: this Kentucky team.
Speaker 2: So I would say even like going down to like
Speaker 2: the tenth guy on the you know, on the bench,
Speaker 2: Colin Chandler, he came in and gave you some good minutes.
Speaker 2: Though he didn't do, you know, something that was gonna
Speaker 2: fill the stat sheet. But I thought he came in,
Speaker 2: he played good defensively, you know, gave you some good
Speaker 2: minutes there and gave some of the other guys a breather.
Speaker 2: I'm just you know, after seeing last night and seeing
Speaker 2: the bench, they don't have to come in and light
Speaker 2: the world on fire, but just come in and give
Speaker 2: you some quality minutes. I think the bench did that
Speaker 2: last night for Kentucky.
Speaker 1: And play with confidence, right, And that's part of the
Speaker 1: getting better. As the year goes along, you get more
Speaker 1: comfortable and Mark Pope's system, a guy like Trent Nola
Speaker 1: goes out there, and you know, I'm I'm confident with
Speaker 1: Trent Noah out there, Shannon. I mean, as much as
Speaker 1: I've made fun of people talking about the Kentucky kids
Speaker 1: on the Mark Pope Show, that's a guy that played
Speaker 1: some good defense and hit some shots in some really
Speaker 1: important moments. Now, Travis Perry's got some room to improve,
Speaker 1: but Shannon, we can't all have a good night every night.
Speaker 1: But you know, Andrew Carr tried to give it a run.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 1: I felt bad for him. He had maybe like a
Speaker 1: one or two minute run there and got dunked on
Speaker 1: and decided to go out. That's a guy that I
Speaker 1: think is still very important to Kentucky's postseason aspirations. But
Speaker 1: you got to make do with what you got. You
Speaker 1: got no Kerkkrisa, no Lamont Butler, no Andrew Carr, and
Speaker 1: yet they beat the number one defense in college basketball.
Speaker 1: It's just impressive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2: And I give it up for Andrew Carr. At least
Speaker 2: going out there and trying. I mean, yeah, back trouble man.
Speaker 2: I think everybody has probably had, you know, back issues
Speaker 2: at some point or another, especially if if you're of
Speaker 2: a certain age, you know, and you get a little
Speaker 2: older man just getting out of bed, you got back problems.
Speaker 3: You know. He came in.
Speaker 2: He looked like he was cutting good, cutting well and quickly.
Speaker 2: But then he came in, he called for the ball,
Speaker 2: immediately turned it over I think right there on the
Speaker 2: first time he touched the ball, so you know, he
Speaker 2: gave it a good try. Fortunately they didn't need him
Speaker 2: last night, I said the I was off the bench,
Speaker 2: were filled in very nicely.
Speaker 1: Right and speaking of injuries, it was not very positive
Speaker 1: what Mark Pope said in the postgame press conference afterwards
Speaker 1: about Lamont Butler. He said there are multiple factors to
Speaker 1: his injury, and then he went on to say, if
Speaker 1: and when we get him back, we're going to be elated.
Speaker 1: I mean, Channon, I don't know if that sounds the
Speaker 1: same to you that it does to me, that we
Speaker 1: might not see him until SEC tournament time.
Speaker 2: Well, that one word if if if he said when
Speaker 2: when we get him back, I would feel a lot
Speaker 2: better about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Also, I don't think that means that this team can't
Speaker 2: make a good run if they don't have them.
Speaker 3: So I mean, obviously you want.
Speaker 2: Lamont Butler out there, you want Crisa, you want car
Speaker 2: But I mean, they just proved last night.
Speaker 3: Again, we're gonna keep harping on it.
Speaker 2: The number one defensive team when it comes to efficiency
Speaker 2: in college basketball, and they proved a game. It proved
Speaker 2: that they can win a game in the seventies. They
Speaker 2: don't have to win in the eighties and nineties and hundreds.
Speaker 2: They can, you know, muck it up sometimes if they
Speaker 2: have to and win a game in the seventies.
Speaker 1: Now do we think the final caller of the case
Speaker 1: our pre show yesterday had any change of heart after
Speaker 1: this one? Remember the guy that called in and said that,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, it's not really a rivalry when
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Kentucky play. I gave him the all time
Speaker 1: series record, and it's not much of a rivalry because
Speaker 1: Kentucky has had so much success. But I thought it
Speaker 1: was a little bit of blasphemy, Shannon, that give me
Speaker 1: a break. Tennessee doesn't care about Kentucky when it comes
Speaker 1: to that sport. Do you think he maybe has had
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bad morning?
Speaker 3: I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I think Kentucky, what is it the Food
Speaker 2: City tops and bowling arene in the city center, I
Speaker 2: think is what it is. It's almost as bad as
Speaker 2: Kroger filled foods. Yeah, so I think Kentucky owns Food City.
Speaker 2: We went to Food City, we bought all their oranges
Speaker 2: and threw them in the trash. That's what we did.
Speaker 2: Nothing such like a big We heard that quite a
Speaker 2: few times yesterday from callers. So yeah, I think that
Speaker 2: if you're a Tennessee fan and you're saying that it's
Speaker 2: not a big rivalry in basketball, that just tells me
Speaker 2: that the Tennessee fan base doesn't care about basketball. They
Speaker 2: just they put all of their oranges into one basket
Speaker 2: and all they think about is football. Because Kentucky. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think they own Tennessee right now. In basketball.
Speaker 1: There were no oranges thrown last night. But we did
Speaker 1: see a picture of the Tennessee student sections player info
Speaker 1: sheet last night. Did you happen to read any of that?
Speaker 3: No? No, no, read it to me? What is this?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: You know, the student section does research on the other
Speaker 1: team and tries to find dirt on them so they
Speaker 1: can get under their skin during the game. Yet, you
Speaker 1: got to remember, you know, if you're a student at Tennessee,
Speaker 1: you may not have the best researching skills. You may
Speaker 1: be worried about getting to dip in more than you
Speaker 1: are actually getting something creative written down. We got the
Speaker 1: research seat and it was really bad from Tennessee students
Speaker 1: last night. Just really not creative. Here's what they had
Speaker 1: for Jackson Robinson. Weird spelling of his name, owns a Mercedes. Wow,
Speaker 1: how are they gonna taunt him with that? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 1: Brandy Garrison to Mercedes branding Garrison Trader to Oklahoma State
Speaker 1: nil email in his bio begging for deals. No one
Speaker 1: knows him well.
Speaker 3: Tennessee fans know him today, don't they?
Speaker 1: I would say so, even though he didn't play great
Speaker 1: last night. LaMotte Butler Trader to SDSU low Kia Baller.
Speaker 1: I can't hate. I mean, how are you supposed to
Speaker 1: get into the heads of the other team when you
Speaker 1: have such crappy research like we saw from the Tennessee
Speaker 1: student section.
Speaker 3: Okay, whoever is the head of the student section needs
Speaker 3: to be fired. I mean, come on.
Speaker 2: You can't come up with any better put downs than that,
Speaker 2: and don't even bother printing the sheet.
Speaker 1: Travis Perry, Mister Kentucky basketball averaging one point six points
Speaker 1: a game in six minutes a game. What a falloff?
Speaker 1: Collaborated with Funky Rooster coffee probably tastes bad. It does
Speaker 1: not Bucky Rooster Coffee is great. To look at them
Speaker 1: getting a little plug in best peer scorer in the
Speaker 1: country and now doesn't play. I mean, just a poor
Speaker 1: effort by the Tennessee student section last night and a
Speaker 1: poor effort from their team as the Cats snap a
Speaker 1: two game losing streak, and now we look ahead to Arkansas.
Speaker 3: Shannon, Yeah, this is.
Speaker 2: The one that everybody's been just waiting for, right I mean,
Speaker 2: if we're being real about it, this has been the
Speaker 2: most anticipated game of the entire season. Not Duke, not Louisville,
Speaker 2: not Gonzaga, not even Tennessee on the road. It's this
Speaker 2: game coming up on Saturday. I can't wait for it.
Speaker 1: Maybe one of the most anticipated games in Kentucky men's
Speaker 1: basketball history in the last ten to fifteen years. Shannon,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I would.
Speaker 3: Say yeah, definitely in the last ten or fifteen years.
Speaker 1: I think at the final or the NCAA Tournament Final
Speaker 1: four game as one of them Kentucky Louisville.
Speaker 2: But I mean, if we're talking about, like, what, when's
Speaker 2: the last time that this level of excitement for a
Speaker 2: regular season home game has been at this level? I
Speaker 2: think it has to go back to probably Patino's first
Speaker 2: year at Lovell when it came to rupper Ina for
Speaker 2: the first time. You know, I think it's it's sort
Speaker 2: of on that level of excitement and a hard ticket
Speaker 2: to get just because you want to be there for
Speaker 2: that moment when Cali Perry walks through the visitor's tunnel
Speaker 2: and comes out there is probably gonna be wearing a
Speaker 2: you know, tabletop red apron for a coat, and he's
Speaker 2: gonna be sitting down in Arkansas red. I can't wait
Speaker 2: to see how fans are going to react. I have
Speaker 2: to think you gotta boo him, right, you gotta boo
Speaker 2: the guy. We've been talking about this all summer. He's
Speaker 2: gonna get booed.
Speaker 3: I can't wait.
Speaker 1: Well, see, you know, here's here's my thought on it.
Speaker 1: You know, Cal did Kentucky right in a lot of ways, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, you bring a national title to the school.
Speaker 1: You bring it out of the depths of what Billy
Speaker 1: g was and then even look at the last year,
Speaker 1: you save Kentucky millions of dollars by going to talk
Speaker 1: to the Chickenman. You leave the university and you open
Speaker 1: the door to allow Mark Pope to to come in
Speaker 1: and really reduce ate the fan base and stand for
Speaker 1: the values that a lot of people in BBN have.
Speaker 1: So I think there are a lot of positives. But
Speaker 1: here's the flip side. He went to a school in
Speaker 1: the same conference, and while it was not Louisville, is
Speaker 1: still somewhat of a rival Shannon. So I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a mixed bag. I don't think everybody's gonna boo.
Speaker 1: I kind of liked what I think Chris Fisher said
Speaker 1: this morning on the Leach Report. I think some people
Speaker 1: are gonna plan on booing, and then they don't. There's
Speaker 1: gonna people people that don't plan on booing, and they
Speaker 1: and they might and you know, hopefully he does get
Speaker 1: a nice reception. He has done a lot for the
Speaker 1: University of Kentucky. But then we put that to the
Speaker 1: side because we've got a game to play, right and
Speaker 1: you know, while Cal has done a lot, and maybe
Speaker 1: it'll be a game in the future where he gets
Speaker 1: a banner hung at rupp Arena and he gets all
Speaker 1: of his flowers, I still think there will be a
Speaker 1: lot of people cheering for Cal when he walks in
Speaker 1: on Saturn.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that. You act like you're gonna
Speaker 3: send him a thank you letter or something.
Speaker 1: Thank you for leaving. Maybe the thing you Oh.
Speaker 2: No, we'll see, we'll see. It may be a good mix,
Speaker 2: but I think it's gonna be mostly booze. M.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I think he should expect it. I
Speaker 1: think he's talked about it on his Coaches show just
Speaker 1: the other night that he is expecting that and expected
Speaker 1: it to be an emotional game for him.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll walk his dogs down Richmond Road, Shannon.
Speaker 3: You see, don't hang out with some old friends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hang out some old plans wheelers, go to that
Speaker 1: breakfast spot. Yeah, exactly what I was thinking of too.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Uh, I'm excited. We've got a few days to talk
Speaker 1: about that though, So if you'd like to talk about
Speaker 1: the Tennessee win tonight or really anything eight five nine
Speaker 1: two A two two eight seven Texas at five O
Speaker 1: two two six five six six, five six. We'll take
Speaker 1: a break here on this Wednesday edition of the KSR
Speaker 1: pre Show, and we'll be right back.
Speaker 3: Welcome back.
Speaker 1: It is the show before the show, the KSR pre
Speaker 1: Show Billy and the Dude eight five nine two A
Speaker 1: two two eight seven, where we already have loaded lines.
Speaker 1: That's a good indicator that Big Blue Nation is excited
Speaker 1: after that win last night. Before we get to the phones,
Speaker 1: some text five oh two two six five six six
Speaker 1: five six. One person says, Shannon, should cow come out
Speaker 1: to Vince McMahon's no chance in hell.
Speaker 2: That would be actually really cool if you did that.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: That would require whoever's running the sound for Rapperena to
Speaker 2: cooperate with that, But it would be he does have
Speaker 2: that Vince McMahon swagger, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Not a lot of opposing coaches get intro music at
Speaker 1: a different arena.
Speaker 3: But if it is not, it's not flattering.
Speaker 1: Ks board came up at a nuke nickname for Trent
Speaker 1: Noah that I think might stick Shannon. One person asks
Speaker 1: when will Kentucky Brandon start selling Mountain Mamba shirts for Trent. Noah,
Speaker 1: do you like the nickname Mountain Mamba?
Speaker 2: Mountain Mamba. It's almost too many syllables for.
Speaker 1: Me, too many syllables alliteration there, dude, you tell me
Speaker 1: Mountain Mamba. He's like Kobe Yeah, wear wearing the Kobe
Speaker 1: shoes at the mamba mentality. He's the Mountain Mamba from Harlan.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I like, no, I don't think that
Speaker 2: he needs to be uttered. His name needs to be
Speaker 2: uttered in the same breath as Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 1: Oh well, you would think so by the amount of
Speaker 1: how much Kentucky fans love him. And one final thing,
Speaker 1: Brandon Garrison went live on Instagram. In the locker room
Speaker 1: after the game, Lamont Butler is shown briefly where he
Speaker 1: says something to the effect of, hey, guys, I'll be
Speaker 1: back soon. Don't worry.
Speaker 3: So ok.
Speaker 1: I mean you don't hear it. You hear it from
Speaker 1: the horse's mouth, right, And so maybe that is encouraging
Speaker 1: as the season goes along. Regardless, Shannon, any Kentucky game
Speaker 1: in the future, I'm going to betting it on Draftking.
Speaker 2: Hey, you know, we all picked except for Mario, he
Speaker 2: picked Kentucky last night, right, and I saw everybody, Oh,
Speaker 2: Mario knows.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing about Mario.
Speaker 2: By the way, Mario gets all of our predictions individually
Speaker 2: through text.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 2: Yes, he doesn't send a group text to where we
Speaker 2: can all see like what each other picked. He texts me, Hey,
Speaker 2: what's your prediction? Hey, Billy, what's your prediction. He gets
Speaker 2: all of our pick and then at the end he
Speaker 2: gets to put his pick.
Speaker 1: In thank you.
Speaker 2: So when he sees that all of us picked Tennessee, yes,
Speaker 2: of course he's going to be the hero and go No,
Speaker 2: I'm picking Kentucky to win.
Speaker 3: But he was right, he was.
Speaker 1: Rose credit, he was right. It is rapping twice. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, he does get to pick line.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if I saw all of you guys
Speaker 2: and all of you picked Tennessee, maybe I would pick
Speaker 2: Kentucky to last night. But hey, you can bet on
Speaker 2: all the games on DraftKings sportsbook promo code KSR.
Speaker 3: We got Super Bowl fifty nine coming up. You can
Speaker 3: bet on that.
Speaker 2: Saying game parlays player props, Will Taylor Swift get proposed
Speaker 2: to after the game. I mean it's probably all going
Speaker 2: to be there for you on DraftKings. Can't wait for

Speaker 1: But you're telling me I can get odds on if
Speaker 1: Kelsey's gonna propose to Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know that that's officially going to be
Speaker 2: on DraftKings, but it should be. You get these weird
Speaker 2: prop bets that you know. I guess if you're in Vegas,
Speaker 2: you can go to a sports book there. I don't
Speaker 2: know if it's going to be available on the app,
Speaker 2: but it should be, And if it is, I might
Speaker 2: put some money on that because I think that it's
Speaker 2: gonna happen. It didn't happen last time, Billy, but I
Speaker 2: think this might be the year that.
Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey proposes to Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: It could be, but it had to be after a win, right,
Speaker 1: You don't lose and then and then still do that.
Speaker 3: Well, is there any doubt that Kansas City is going
Speaker 3: to win?
Speaker 1: I'll look at you, I mean, I mean them and
Speaker 1: the refs. You gonna win on that Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 1: You already know, you know, I have one gripe before
Speaker 1: we get to the phones, and we will. You know,
Speaker 1: why do they start showing Super Bowl commercials before the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Shannon, Like you can watch it online, They
Speaker 1: like show it now, Like I guess they're trying to
Speaker 1: get there's money, their money's worth. But it used to
Speaker 1: be a thing where we all saw the commercial for
Speaker 1: the first time to get during the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like they're trying to maximize the exposure.
Speaker 2: But you know, they used to do like just a
Speaker 2: little teaser like here is uh maybe a ten second
Speaker 2: or fifteen second clip of what a longer version of
Speaker 2: this commercial will be.
Speaker 3: You have to watch the Super Bowl to see it.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it's probably just them wanting to get more
Speaker 2: run instead of just on one night.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, to get you heard of it out there.
Speaker 1: We've heard how much it costs to get a thirty
Speaker 1: second spot on Super Bowl Sunday, upwards of five million dollars.
Speaker 1: I think at least last year. Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1: Who's up first today, dude, Let's talk to Brian. Hey, Brian,
Speaker 1: what's up?
Speaker 8: Alright?
Speaker 9: Great morning, guys, great win, great win. Last night, I
Speaker 9: was listening to a national podcast last night and one
Speaker 9: of the uh, one of the hosts there was kind
Speaker 9: of saying Kentucky's been lucky this year and some of
Speaker 9: their wins to where, do you know, miss some shots
Speaker 9: toward the end of the game Tennessee missed some shots
Speaker 9: and that sort of thing.
Speaker 10: But I think with this Kentucky team.
Speaker 9: They have that ability to go nuclear at any time,
Speaker 9: and I think that sets a pressure on these teams,
Speaker 9: so they know they have to make shots.
Speaker 10: They even keep up with swimming.
Speaker 9: With Kentucky, and I think they rush their shots and
Speaker 9: that's why they're missing. You know, last night, Tennessee missed
Speaker 9: a lot of open looks, and I just think it's
Speaker 9: called they were pressing, knowing that they had to keep
Speaker 9: up with Kentucky, and I think, you know, sometimes your
Speaker 9: best defense is an offense. And really really happy with
Speaker 9: this team and go Cats.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, Brian. I think there's a lot of
Speaker 1: truth in that Mark Pope making Tennessee try to beat
Speaker 1: them from the three point line. You know, Ryan said
Speaker 1: on the post game last night, I really agree. I
Speaker 1: thought those stat lines should have been flipped right going
Speaker 1: into the game. You think, Kentucky, let's shoot forty five
Speaker 1: threes in this game. Let's see what they can get done.
Speaker 1: But they only shoot twenty four, but they hit twelve
Speaker 1: of them, so highly efficient. But you know the three
Speaker 1: pointer is going to be definitely something important here late
Speaker 1: in the year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was really surprised. I mean, I knew they
Speaker 2: shot a lot, but I looked at the statue to
Speaker 2: go forty five. Yeah, there's no doubt going in if
Speaker 2: you said, Okay, one of these teams is gonna shoot
Speaker 2: forty five, which tea Kentucky.
Speaker 3: It's Kentucky, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: It's not which is weel missing tent of them with
Speaker 1: one of eleven, I know.
Speaker 2: Which confuses me, Like why they wouldn't go inside more
Speaker 2: with Andrey Carr being out. I mean they got they
Speaker 2: got some some big boys on Tennessee. You think they
Speaker 2: would go underneath and try to get some points.
Speaker 1: And Maria two fouls early too, I mean in the
Speaker 1: first half. So we'll take a break. Take more of
Speaker 1: your calls. Next here on the pre show Welcome Back.
Speaker 1: It is the KSR pre show where P happens. Billy
Speaker 1: Rutland's the dude.
Speaker 2: I don't know, like who all hears that? Is that
Speaker 2: a network commercial that runs or is that just a
Speaker 2: level thing? I'm not sure, you know, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I think LAP has different commercials than KRD, and with
Speaker 1: the show being based in KRD.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't understand it ran twice there.
Speaker 2: It's a happens P happens at work in the Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've never like been working out and peed my pants.
Speaker 1: Well you're getting a little older, Shannon, so you know,
Speaker 1: who knows what'll happen in the next five.
Speaker 3: Or ten years.
Speaker 2: I guess in New York City at Times Square, you know,
Speaker 2: like on on New Year's Eve, But other than that,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was, Yeah, you're right about Times Square, New York Man.
Speaker 1: That is that is ridiculous. Pe does happen there. That's
Speaker 1: why you wear an adult diaper. It's a little worried there.
Speaker 1: During the break, my microphone snapped off, Shannon, and then
Speaker 1: I remembered I connected a bidet to my waterline at home,
Speaker 1: so I can do anything. So you know what, we
Speaker 1: just screwed that thing back on and we're okay, we're
Speaker 1: ready to go.
Speaker 3: Try you're a handyman. Now.
Speaker 2: The question is do you think that Matt Jones would
Speaker 2: have been able to put that microphone back on the
Speaker 2: standard have fallen off during the show.
Speaker 1: I think that had been a that had been a
Speaker 1: real issue, we would have had to scan the QR
Speaker 1: code at that point.
Speaker 3: Dude, that's an joke for nobody understands that.
Speaker 1: Before we get back to the phones, and we've got
Speaker 1: some people on the line eight five nine two two
Speaker 1: two eight seven, what are the odds that our guy
Speaker 1: Ryan Lemon just happened to be at the Montgomery County
Speaker 1: versus Howell County game where there's not one, but two
Speaker 1: scuffles that lead to Powell County just walking off the
Speaker 1: court the other day. Shit, And that was a bizarre
Speaker 1: story and even a weirder video. But our guy, Scoop
Speaker 1: Lemon is court sided to give us all the details.
Speaker 2: I don't understand why you guys are shocked that Ryan
Speaker 2: Lemon would be at some random high school game. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm shocked that you guys are shocked. Yeah, you tell
Speaker 2: me that Ryan's at a game and it's some random
Speaker 2: high school and you know, it was a crazy thing
Speaker 2: that happened. When was it Powell County? Yeah, basketball team
Speaker 2: just said you know what we're done here. They walk off,
Speaker 2: and then apparently the official had to go to the
Speaker 2: rule book to go, gee, what do we do now? Like,
Speaker 2: I don't know a book out, I'm not a high
Speaker 2: school official, but I would say if the other team
Speaker 2: completely walked out of the building and went home, I
Speaker 2: would say they probably would have to forfeit.
Speaker 3: I don't think we need a rule book to tell
Speaker 3: us that.
Speaker 1: I had not seen anything like that before though, Like
Speaker 1: after that second scuffle, the coach had just had enough
Speaker 1: and they all just walked out, like they just walked
Speaker 1: right to the bus. After that, It was a bizarre scene.
Speaker 1: The announce series. You're like, I've never seen anything like
Speaker 1: this before in my life.
Speaker 3: It's an easy night for them, Right, you still get
Speaker 3: paid the.
Speaker 1: Same, that's right. Yeah, you're still getting paid the same.
Speaker 1: You're paid by the game, hopefully. But maybe maybe there's
Speaker 1: some truth to what you're saying. Maybe we shouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised Ryan is at these random.
Speaker 3: He's a man of the people. Would you ever go
Speaker 3: to them?
Speaker 1: Would you ever go to Montgomery County versus Powell County
Speaker 1: on a random Monday night?
Speaker 5: Me?
Speaker 2: Probably not, Like, you know, it's good to get me
Speaker 2: out to see my my Bullet's Chargers play a game,
Speaker 2: which I got to do by the way, that it's
Speaker 2: basketball season for them.
Speaker 1: But he's the mayor of Lexington right in your future Mayor,
Speaker 1: he's gotta he's got to get around. Yeah, shake hands
Speaker 1: and kids, babies, that's right.
Speaker 3: Let's take a call.
Speaker 2: Who's up next to you? All right, let's talk to
Speaker 2: Andrew in a cities. He's from Middlesborough.
Speaker 1: Oh, hey, Andrew, what's up?
Speaker 4: Good morning?
Speaker 8: Guys?
Speaker 3: Are you Are you a Bell County? Right now?
Speaker 11: I'm a Bell I'm actually working over in Harrogat this morning.
Speaker 11: But yeah, I live in Bell County.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, most of the time when people
Speaker 2: call in, it does say where they're from. Yours, says Andrew,
Speaker 2: and says Middlesborough underneath of it.
Speaker 3: So I just wanted to see, well that that's cool.
Speaker 11: Yeah, cool, all right, guys, Today is today, This the
Speaker 11: Lord has made and we're gonna rejoice. And we're rejoicing
Speaker 11: because last night we took the and we beat the
Speaker 11: Tennessee Balls in Knoxville, and that is so great. I
Speaker 11: didn't think we had a chance last night. Just being
Speaker 11: honest with you, and I'm really happy this morning. Now
Speaker 11: as far as cow goes, I can see what y'all
Speaker 11: are upset because he used to call her by basketball
Speaker 11: Bennies and all that stuff. But guy's listening.
Speaker 8: He gave us five or.
Speaker 11: Six, seven wonderful, wonderful years. So I think we don't
Speaker 11: need to boo, and I don't know we don't need
Speaker 11: to cheer either, but just showing him a little respect.
Speaker 11: That's my opinion on it. But again, I can understand
Speaker 11: people's other side and why they're upset with him. That's it, guys,
Speaker 11: Go Cats. I'm proud of this team. They could beat anybody.
Speaker 11: But they could also lose anybody with the rod. Have
Speaker 11: a great day, guys, go care all right.
Speaker 3: Man, thank you for the call.
Speaker 2: So it's nasty, he says, you shouldn't boo them, but
Speaker 2: you shouldn't cheer them. So we should just just give
Speaker 2: them the silent treatment. Everybody just turn their back.
Speaker 1: Somebody said that on the text line earlier. That could
Speaker 1: be it just dead silence when Cal comes out or
Speaker 1: when his name is announced. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Now, you're not gonna get twenty four thousand people to
Speaker 2: all get on the same page with that. It would
Speaker 2: be cool if everybody just turned their back and didn't
Speaker 2: say anything.
Speaker 1: It is a reaction though, Yeah, I mean it is.
Speaker 1: It is really fifty to fifty right now on the
Speaker 1: text line, And logically, yes, to that caller's point, you
Speaker 1: could beat anybody, You could lose to anybody, as we
Speaker 1: discussed that the other day, that's what has to happen, right.
Speaker 2: It's a great take. I mean, unless we're talking about
Speaker 2: hockey or soccer. I guess where you could technically tie. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: come on, get these ties out of America. Give me break.
Speaker 4: Ties.
Speaker 1: Who's next, dude?
Speaker 3: Ben?
Speaker 1: Hey?
Speaker 5: Ben?
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 8: Man, let's going guys, all right, I'm speaking of your pants.
Speaker 8: How funny was that stuff last night? Seeing go Big
Speaker 8: Blue Chants and uh Tannessee's arena.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were loud, they were loud.
Speaker 3: They were loud in Nashville too, I mean really loud
Speaker 3: in Nashville.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Man, it was so cool seeing Jackson Kobe kind of
Speaker 8: vibe into that. That was awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean that's why we got the greatest fan base
Speaker 2: in sports period, I think, you know, I mean, the
Speaker 2: fan base tra so well.
Speaker 8: And just one more quick thing. I'm on your side
Speaker 8: chaining about Boo and Cal. Let's boo him, but maybe
Speaker 8: we could uh kind of stay off the players, like
Speaker 8: not boo Zee, not Boo DJ, not not Boo a Doo,
Speaker 8: Like we don't need to boot those guys, but let's
Speaker 8: boo the crap out of cal Go cats.
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks for the call, Ben, we appreciate it.
Speaker 2: What do you think about booing the players at Arkansas?
Speaker 2: I mean they left too, they chose to leave.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but wasn't for it? Wasn't it for the best? Shannon, Like,
Speaker 1: aren't you happy with the situation that Kentucky's in? Now?
Speaker 1: You know, I went. Of course the fact, don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, but who doesn't come to Kentucky because the
Speaker 1: dude the aero state, right, And you know, I think
Speaker 1: this is a lot different if you know, Arkansas is
Speaker 1: having a ton of success in Kentucky, isn't right? I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's flip flopped. Kentucky's doing really well right now,
Speaker 1: Arkansas has one win in the SEC, I think, so
Speaker 1: I think that plays a factor in it all. You know,
Speaker 1: we've got well we'll talk about this for three days, Shannon.
Speaker 1: It's it's the game that we've circled for a while.
Speaker 1: And and rightly so that these ticket prices are what
Speaker 1: did you guys say on cas Are yesterday? Three hundred
Speaker 1: dollars for a single.
Speaker 2: No, No, I think it's more than that. I think
Speaker 2: it's more. I'd have to look it up and see.
Speaker 2: But like we're talking about secondary market at this point,
Speaker 2: because all the tickets have been sold out for a
Speaker 2: long time. So now if you're looking at Kentucky Arkansas tickets,
Speaker 2: you're going to be buying them secondhand, and those prices
Speaker 2: are just ridiculous, you know, like thousand dollars or something
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Well you'll remember this game, I mean, win or lose,
Speaker 1: this will be one that you can tell your grandkids
Speaker 1: about when Cal returned to Kentucky. I'm just going to
Speaker 1: pick a random one here, Yeah, give me a number here,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna.
Speaker 2: Go two tickets. Well, you know what, You're right, some
Speaker 2: of these aren't that crazy. This is one eighty one each.
Speaker 2: I thought it was higher than that.
Speaker 1: Okay, one any one? Your head's touching the ceiling with
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think Drew may have mentioned that yesterday on the
Speaker 1: Maybe it was the you know, they're media set up
Speaker 1: in the rafters now, so if you wanted a seat
Speaker 1: around there would be about three hundred bucks. Maybe I
Speaker 1: can afford that now after doing two hours of radio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you can't. Here, now here's something. You know,
Speaker 2: those that I just gave you were like all the
Speaker 2: way to the top. Now, if you're talking like really
Speaker 2: good seats, I'm just gonna go, like to the most
Speaker 2: expensive ones I can find. Section thirteen, Row F two
Speaker 2: tickets thirteen, four hundred and seventy eight dollars.
Speaker 1: Each each thirteen.
Speaker 2: You know this is on this is on seat geek,
Speaker 2: and this is the most expensive. All right, So yeah,
Speaker 2: you could get in. I guess the door for one
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty one dollars apiece. Still not a cheap ticket,
Speaker 2: but nowhere near thirteen thousand. Here's several other listed. You know,
Speaker 2: let's see floor seats five thousand dollars, fifty six hundred
Speaker 2: four thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: So they're kind of all over the place.
Speaker 2: But if you're talking about lower level, you are looking
Speaker 2: at a one thousand dollars a piece.
Speaker 3: Easy.
Speaker 1: Listen. The stars will be out on Saturday. Yeah, don't
Speaker 1: you know. They don't get it twisted. This will be
Speaker 1: a who's who, don't it.
Speaker 2: These are people that are going to be going to
Speaker 2: the game. But they're like, you know what, if you
Speaker 2: want to give me one thousand dollars apiece, I'll gladly
Speaker 2: not go to the game and take your two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Sell these tickets and pay for your season tickets. Right
Speaker 1: are pretty close to it. That is the demand for
Speaker 1: these right now. Let's keep it rolling. Who's up next?
Speaker 3: Joseph, Hey, Joseph Hey.
Speaker 6: I was just calling because I don't know how y'all
Speaker 6: feel as it comes to cow But I hated him
Speaker 6: for a little bit, but now I'm starting to feel
Speaker 6: really terrible for him because he seems like you defeated
Speaker 6: and depressed. So I don't know, I would like kaboo him,
Speaker 6: but now it is feels like you're kicking a horse
Speaker 6: as he's down, You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean so because Cal went to Arkansas and
Speaker 2: so far it has been a failure, you say we
Speaker 2: should just not pile on the guy and not boo him.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess maybe there is some truth to
Speaker 2: that for some people, you know, like the better you are,
Speaker 2: the more they hate you.
Speaker 3: I think that's true in sports, right.
Speaker 2: You look at the most hated people in sports, it's
Speaker 2: all of the teams. They're like the Chiefs or like
Speaker 2: you know, liked Lebron Tom Brady. Yeah, I mean, the
Speaker 2: list goes on. So I think there is some truth
Speaker 2: to that. The better you are, the more hate it
Speaker 2: you are. But I don't know, Man, Cali Gary left
Speaker 2: and look, the season's not over yet. I know they're struggling,
Speaker 2: but I don't know that that would change whether or
Speaker 2: not I would.
Speaker 3: Boo the guy. He's gonna be okay, he can take
Speaker 3: some booze.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's the wrong person. Joseph Shannon's been very
Speaker 1: strong about this take that he does not feel bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna give me not to boo the
Speaker 2: guy because he's won in six in the conference.
Speaker 6: Boo hoo, understood.
Speaker 4: That was good?
Speaker 1: Anything else, Joseph, Yeah.
Speaker 6: I was gonna say if Arkansas, I mean, you know,
Speaker 6: if it was a good year for them, then I
Speaker 6: would absolutely hate him too. I'd be like, yeah, let's
Speaker 6: let's fire out the boos at him. So I understand.
Speaker 2: It's been clear. I don't hate the guy personally. I'm
Speaker 2: just saying this is sports hate. This is nothing personal
Speaker 2: when it comes to like, I don't even know Calipari
Speaker 2: is a person, but yeah, sports hate. I think that's
Speaker 2: that's totally fine. If you're Kentucky. Thanks for the calle, Joseph.
Speaker 2: We appreciate it. Thank you, Joseph.
Speaker 1: Well, for me, it was him talking down to the
Speaker 1: fan base for so many years, the basketball Bennies, the
Speaker 1: way that he conducted himself in press conferences. You remember
Speaker 1: he'd win a game on the road and said, oh,
Speaker 1: you didn't expect that.
Speaker 3: See what I did there?
Speaker 1: See what I did there. That's been such a big
Speaker 1: change from this year to last year. Was like explaining
Speaker 1: what's happening in the game, why Kentucky's doing it, compared
Speaker 1: to somebody with a bit of an ego, Shannon trying
Speaker 1: to take credit for things that you know he did
Speaker 1: back in twenty twelve. Let's take a break though, we've
Speaker 1: got a couple more people on the line. We will
Speaker 1: wrap this Wednesday edition of the KSR pre show. Up next,
Speaker 1: it's Billy Rutligion, Shannon, the dude, keep it where you
Speaker 1: got it. Nothing sucks like a big orange. That was
Speaker 1: our theme of the show yesterday. And then the Cats
Speaker 1: get the win down in Knoxville. They've won three in
Speaker 1: a row there, what is it, five of the last six, Shannon.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable the success that the Cats have had down
Speaker 1: in Knoxville, and as a double digit underdog, count it
Speaker 1: out and they get it done once again. Eight five
Speaker 1: nine two two eight seven. Only a few minutes left,
Speaker 1: and we've got a ton of people on the phone,
Speaker 1: So let's just keep it rolling, dude.
Speaker 2: Let's just rip through rapid fire. Let's go to free Bird. Hey,
Speaker 2: free Bird, Hey free Bird. Oh no, it's with arms
Speaker 2: wad open, formerly known as free Bird. That's right, he
Speaker 2: got those creed tickets.
Speaker 10: Hey, speaking of I haven't received anything yet, but the
Speaker 10: U sing of cunning tone. I don't know why. This
Speaker 10: morning was Oh Johnny short, So you guys are great Americans.
Speaker 10: So we're gonna beat Arkansas. Let's say twelve. And what's
Speaker 10: up with Tom Square Billy and the Dude this morning?
Speaker 10: Are we happy? Because I tell you that team was
Speaker 10: resilient last night. That was one of the most fun
Speaker 10: games to watch, and I think if we could have
Speaker 10: read that it a little better, we would have maked
Speaker 10: him by fifteen or twenty points.
Speaker 3: Thanks for the call. Arms wide open. You will get
Speaker 3: your tickets.
Speaker 2: By the way, that the show's not till July, so
Speaker 2: usually they wait talk the week before the show before
Speaker 2: the tickets go out, so just just hang tight and
Speaker 2: be patient.
Speaker 1: Anybody that needs their tickets just call Shannon the Dude's
Speaker 1: phone number and ask them where your tickets.
Speaker 2: Luckily my phone number's not out there like Ryan. But no,
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're not happy after last night, you're
Speaker 2: just a miserable fan, Like I don't know, what the
Speaker 2: hell could you possibly not be happy after what you
Speaker 2: saw last night?
Speaker 1: No, I'm elated. I honestly didn't give him a chance
Speaker 1: to win this game. Not until I heard Drew Franklin's
Speaker 1: pep talk during the KSR pregame show. I missed that
Speaker 1: he brought the energy. There's no doubt about it. Let's
Speaker 1: keep it rolling. Who's next?
Speaker 3: Jeff, Hey, Jeff, what's up?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 7: Guys. I'm not a Caliperry fan, but I really do
Speaker 7: think if we sit there in front of the national
Speaker 7: audience and boo him after what he did for this university,
Speaker 7: you keep everybody forgets. Every time we had a disaster
Speaker 7: in this state, he was the first one opened to
Speaker 7: check book up and spend the time to the telethons
Speaker 7: to help the people in this state. So I think,
Speaker 7: at least on that account. And what do you think
Speaker 7: is his family is going to think when they're watching
Speaker 7: this on TV or there, that he's being booed. Kentucky
Speaker 7: crowdef make Kentucky press.
Speaker 3: Well, we're not booing Calipari. We're not booing cal Perry's character. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, he's done a lot of great things for the state.
Speaker 2: We're not booing that. It's sports booing, like we're booing
Speaker 2: him because he's at Arkansas now. It's not like you know,
Speaker 2: we want bad things to happen to John Calipari in life.
Speaker 3: It's just it's sports. That's why, it's why it's fun.
Speaker 3: It's in good nature.
Speaker 2: I think everybody would understand what we boot him.
Speaker 7: Now, we'll give give him, give him his family a
Speaker 7: big welcoming. Locally, they never forget when he comes out.
Speaker 7: You stand up and cheer. If you don't want to,
Speaker 7: you sit down and stay silent and protest. And it's
Speaker 7: something his family will always remember. And we'll beat them
Speaker 7: by twenty points and it'll be a great.
Speaker 3: Day, all right, Jeff, thank you for the kanky. I
Speaker 3: appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, man, it's a fresh wound. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're not five ten years removed from Cal's era at Kentucky.
Speaker 1: It's been one year. And he was really bad at
Speaker 1: these last couple of years in the NCAA tournament. It
Speaker 1: was frustrating, and he left four school in the same conference. Channon, Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not booing his support of Eastern Kentucky and what
Speaker 1: he's done for the state. I'm booing because he left
Speaker 1: for the other team and he's back at Rubb Aerna right.
Speaker 2: And it's Arkansas too. If he went to Georgia or
Speaker 2: South Carolina, that'd be a little different for you. I mean,
Speaker 2: maybe I've always hated Arkans, and maybe my hate for Arkansas,
Speaker 2: I guess goes back to when I was younger in
Speaker 2: the ninety nineties and the Nolan Richardson teams. I hate
Speaker 2: at those teams. Why did I hate them? Because they
Speaker 2: were so good?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you don't have bad teams right back to
Speaker 1: the Lebron James tom Brady.
Speaker 2: You don't even you don't even think about them. If
Speaker 2: they're bad, you just laugh at them. You don't, you
Speaker 2: don't hate them. So I think it's a little bit
Speaker 2: different going to Arkansas versus you know, another school in
Speaker 2: the SEC.
Speaker 1: Well, I think some fans are split because Arkansas is
Speaker 1: bad this year, like they're I mean, maybe I think
Speaker 1: it'd be different if they were undefeated in the SEC.
Speaker 3: And that is true.
Speaker 1: Now, you know Kentucky was struggling and maybe you thought,
Speaker 1: you know, cal the Cat's doing to do this thing
Speaker 1: in Arkansas. Who's next, dude, Let's go to David.
Speaker 5: Hey, David, Hey, guys, I got a couple of things
Speaker 5: I just want to say real quick. That was a
Speaker 5: great win.
Speaker 4: Last night.
Speaker 5: I'm super excited about that. But as far as the booing, man,
Speaker 5: if I was col I want to be booed. That's
Speaker 5: the greatest thing in a in a sports event that
Speaker 5: can happen to you, other than your hometown crowd cheering
Speaker 5: for you crazy, they like we're doing rough. But when
Speaker 5: you come in against your old competitor, you want to
Speaker 5: be booed. I think it's just respect to boo him.
Speaker 5: And then later on when he comes back after he's
Speaker 5: done coaching, and then we'll we'll put his name out
Speaker 5: in the rappers. So I have a great dubt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, let me look what we went
Speaker 2: through with Patino. I of course, one day Caliperi will
Speaker 2: come back and be cheered. Yeah, I mean, if we
Speaker 2: can cheer and love Patino again after all the stuff
Speaker 2: that we went through with him.
Speaker 1: He came back and flipped the fans off.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, well, definitely, sure, Cali Perry one day,
Speaker 2: but Saturday is not going to be the day.
Speaker 3: That's it, That's all there is to it.
Speaker 1: Shannon Ded definitely loves being booed.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't mind being booed.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think some people that may actually hurt
Speaker 2: their ego and Caliperi maybe one of those guys where
Speaker 2: it hurts him if he gets booed.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I embrace it music to my ears.
Speaker 1: I'll got to be able to take with the good
Speaker 1: with the bad. You know, coaches tell players, if you're
Speaker 1: going to read the things about you online, you need
Speaker 1: to read the negative too, because you can't just be
Speaker 1: pumping sunshine. Time for one more before we leave.
Speaker 3: I think, Dan, Hey, what's up? Dan Hey? Dan Hey?
Speaker 4: Yeah. Uh, I'm gonna talk fast, kind of lost to
Speaker 4: say real quick. First of all, I'm originally from Harlan.
Speaker 4: We lived down here in the middle of Tennessee now
Speaker 4: by ourself in Knoxville, and just man, I was dreading.
Speaker 4: I didn't think we were gonna win last night. I
Speaker 4: tickled to death that we did. But you know, the
Speaker 4: thing was cal when he first went to come to UK,
Speaker 4: it was all about Kentucky, all the greatest fans in
Speaker 4: the world, the smartest fans in the world. And then
Speaker 4: at the end we were being we were stupid, We
Speaker 4: didn't know what we were talking about. A him coach
Speaker 4: to sit there, stay on her hands and say nothing
Speaker 4: and pushed everybody away from him, wouldn't listen to nobody.
Speaker 4: Even Antique didn't go with him to Arkansas John Robick situation,
Speaker 4: which I won't get into that y'all know about that.
Speaker 4: Just even Welch Welch wasn't gonna stay with him Kentucky.
Speaker 4: So Cal pushed people away from him. If wasn't the fans.
Speaker 4: We know what we were talking about. We knew the
Speaker 4: three players that should have been playing on the court
Speaker 4: last year, shooting the ball, great to shooters in the
Speaker 4: SEC three point shooters, and they hardly ever played them together.
Speaker 4: So Cal deserves what he gets. That's all I've got
Speaker 4: to say. Thank you, guys. I appreciate you, go Cat.
