Speaker 2: today are our big toe. Matthew Harper Jones as us.

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: He announced yesterday he's going to have a colonoscopy this afternoon.

29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: Thought he was going to try to, you know, make

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: it a go this morning, thought he could come in,

31
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: do the show and then have his colonoscopy, which is

32
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: this afternoon. We kind of raised the red flag, warned

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: him a little bit. That may be a little tough,

34
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: but uh but he he sent us all a text

35
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: this morning group texting, Hey, man, I'm okay, I'm just

36
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: not feeling the greatest. I think I want to tap out.

37
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: Totally get it, totally understand, don't you.

38
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you warned him, Try to warn him. He

39
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: was going to try to walk, you know, several blocks

40
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 4: downtown to be here. That I actually would have liked

41
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 4: to have seen that where he would have stopped along

42
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 4: the way over McCarthy's over there.

43
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: That's where I knew he couldn't do that, so I

44
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: was offering to come pick him up this morning. I said, Hey, man,

45
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: I just coming to pick you up because that walk

46
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: from his house to hear after you just took one

47
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: of those clean out pills. Yeah, it wasn't going to

48
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: be nice, Shannon.

49
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 5: Well, as Drew said, somebody tried to warn them, you know,

50
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 5: like you've done this before, you you know from experience.

51
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 5: Not a good idea, not going to work. But wait,

52
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 5: Matt Jones didn't listen to somebody. You're telling me come

53
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 5: on now, that's come on. He always takes your advice.

54
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 5: Ryan surprised he didn't listen.

55
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: Well, he's kind of in a he's just in a

56
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: real stinky situation right now. Oh here we go, we go.

57
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: We're gonna do this all day right as well?

58
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 3: Why not?

59
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: You know, he would like to be here, but there's

60
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: just a lot of movement in his world going on.

61
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, most of it's already behind him, hopefully.

62
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: Ah good good. So if you want to call with

63
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: your Matt Jones puns today for his klenoscophy, uh eight

64
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: five nine two tweets seven that's a phone ROMF you

65
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: want call, get a morning, Ryan, Drew and Shannon here,

66
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: we'll get you through today. As Kentucky, uh that that

67
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: Thursday in between games is always a slow day anyway.

68
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 2: Coming on the loss to Ole Miss, well, now they've

69
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: lost two in a row, they've lost four of their

70
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: last five, and they've got a home game against one

71
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: of the worst teams in the SEC and probably the

72
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 2: worst team in the SEC, South Carolina on Saturday. Do

73
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: It's almost like the perfect medicine. Kentucky needs a win,

74
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: they need a feel good win, and they've got the

75
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: worst team in the conference coming in on Saturday. Can

76
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: they pull it off?

77
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: Can I?

78
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: Can I crap on your medicine? An unintentional pun?

79
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: Then, is a crappy situation to be in.

80
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 4: South Carolina's won two in a row against Kentucky and

81
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: they won their last game in rep Arena. So and

82
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 4: those weren't good teams. Those were not I know that

83
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 4: was a different era, there's a different coach, there's different players.

84
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: But to have a two game losing streaks South Carolina

85
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: is kind of silly in itself. But that's that's what

86
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: we're staring at now. And they haven't won an SEC

87
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 4: game yet. They're in dead last. But if you look

88
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 4: at their results, they've lost by like three, two, one, three, five,

89
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: even played Auburn within a possession. So they've been very

90
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: close in just about all their games, just haven't been

91
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: on the right side. But you know it'll be it'll

92
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: be a test if Kentucky plays defense anything like it

93
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: or doesn't play defense anything like it didn't an Ole miss,

94
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 4: it could be another long day.

95
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 5: Shannon Well, I mean, you can't ever take a night

96
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 5: off in the SEC. So even though they haven't won

97
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 5: any games, you can't just take for granted that they're

98
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 5: going to win. I think, you know, if they hadn't

99
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 5: dropped four out of their last five, I don't.

100
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: Think there would be any pressure going into this game.

101
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 5: But I feel like there's a little bit of pressure,

102
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 5: a little bit of lingering pressure going into this game.

103
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: Even though it's a home game, you still feel good

104
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: about it. This is one of those.

105
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 5: Games you absolutely cannot drop, and I think it may

106
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 5: be a little bit tougher than what some people think

107
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 5: it's going to be.

108
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: I was Shannon, I think there's a little pressure on Kentucky.

109
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: You can't lose this one. You can't you have to

110
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: win this one, and you mentioned those two losses. South

111
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: Carolina bea Kentucky the last two years after maybe the

112
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: first one. We talked about how that gets Ferris. His

113
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: last coach Ferris is that his name is South Carolina

114
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: Pha R.

115
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: Paris.

116
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: Yes, like the city out.

117
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: Coached Cal Like we didn't even know who this guy was.

118
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: First time to play again Kentucky and he literally out

119
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: coached Kentucky that night. He's still there. I'm surprised they're

120
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: struggling as much as they are.

121
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, his first he's is he undefeated against Kentucky?

122
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: He might be in two years, he might be.

123
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: He's one of the last two. I mean they were

124
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: a nineteen and a half point underdog when they won

125
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 4: in Reparena two years ago. Paris was like in coach

126
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 4: of the year conversation in his first season. Obviously not

127
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 4: in that conversation this year without winning any games. But

128
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 4: he's been all right there. Just don't think he has

129
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 4: the horses this season. I have a little bit of

130
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 4: a soft spot for him. He went to my wife's

131
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: high school and I met him at the sec or

132
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: in CA tournament recently. We were like name dropping local

133
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 4: ice cream shops and stuff in Finley, So part of me,

134
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 4: I mean, I want him to lose by a million,

135
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 4: but I've rooted for him from afar as much as

136
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 4: one can being a Kentucky fan. But I hope Saturday

137
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 4: Mark Pope beats him by a million because Kentucky needs

138
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: to write this ship.

139
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: I do think he's a good coach. I've always thought

140
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: he's a good coach. And if you watched the SEC

141
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: last night, John Caliperry got his second win in a row,

142
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: went on the road to Texas. Yeah one at Texas

143
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: last night.

144
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 5: You think maybe there's a little bit of confidence that

145
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 5: the team got after winning at Kentucky over the weekend,

146
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 5: and you know there's still a chance that he can

147
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 5: turn this thing around.

148
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: They're three and six, but you know there's still a chance.

149
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 5: They could fight back and possibly finish at five hundred,

150
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 5: which if you get to five hundred, I think you're

151
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 5: in the NCAA tournament.

152
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 6: Yah.

153
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 4: You know, I gotta take the blame for last night.

154
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 4: That's all on me. Don't you all get excited about

155
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: Arkansas turned around? I bet on Texas. I am on

156
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 4: a historically cold run. It is unbelievable, unbelievable how bad

157
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: I am. And I wasn't gonna bet on Texas because

158
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 4: I knew that would just be an automatic Arkansas win.

159
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 4: Arkansas went up eight or something early and then the

160
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: line dropped to where Texas was plus money and I

161
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 4: couldn't help myself. And then they just continue to pummel them,

162
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 4: so more money down the drain from me. And I

163
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 4: really think my Jenks played a role in that.

164
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I've been on a very cold streak

165
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: on drafting, Like I have a dollar and sixteen cents

166
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: in my account right now. That's it. I gotta redeposit

167
00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: for the super Bowl this weekend.

168
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: Last Saturday, I bet on Florida at Tennessee before all

169
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 4: the Tennessee injuries came out, and I thought I had

170
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: beaten Vegas. I was so excited that I got in

171
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 4: before everything moved. No, Tennessee goes and bloils them out

172
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 4: unbelievably bad but too in all. Seriously, with Arkansas, it

173
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 4: looks like not that Boogie Flann wasn't doing well, but

174
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: it looks like that getting rid of that logjam in

175
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 4: the backcourt there has opened them up. And Davis has

176
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 4: been playing a lot better since he's been out.

177
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: Look, I got a text. We'll say it's the Avis

178
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: and Glass text machine. The guy said, Look, this was

179
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: typical col He's got his favorites, he plays his favorites.

180
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: Boogie Flann was one of his favorites. Kate everything around

181
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: him to keep him happy. He's now removed from the

182
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: lineup and he has to play the guys that deserved

183
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: to be playing in those spots. And look what's happening.

184
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: They're playing a lot better. Is there any buy into

185
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: that at all?

186
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: I mean, Boogie was the best on the team when

187
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: he was playing, so I don't think it was like

188
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 4: cow playing favorites, but I think it could have been

189
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 4: the case. Just with three guards that you like to

190
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 4: have the ball and like to create, they just had

191
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 4: too many people.

192
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: Uh huh.

193
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: I mean they're still very thin, but Davis has turned

194
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 4: it on since since boogiey Flan went out because he

195
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: had been pretty bad all year. He had eighteen last

196
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 4: night DJ had another big game. So yeah, I mean

197
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 4: Arkansas is still on the bubble and still heading towards

198
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 4: plan on Wednesday, but having won two in a row,

199
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 4: both road games, heavy underdogs in both, you do wonder

200
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 4: if it's another they had their back against the wall,

201
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 4: and here goes cal motivating them again.

202
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: You look at the SEC standing Shannon, Arkansas just one

203
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: game behind Kentucky in the SEC standings.

204
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: Isn't that scary? It just goes to show you.

205
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 5: I mean, one game could be the difference between being

206
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 5: in the top four and the bottom four of the SEC.

207
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 5: Matt and now we're just having that conversation a couple

208
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 5: of days ago. You know, if you beat Tennessee or

209
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 5: you beat Arkansas, excuse me, you could be in the

210
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 5: top four. You would have been in that situation they had,

211
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 5: you know, lost a game against Tennessee, then all of

212
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 5: a sudden you're in the bottom four. So one game

213
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 5: can have a big swing and where you end up

214
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 5: in the standings and what day you play in the

215
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 5: SEC tournament.

216
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 2: So right now, the Kentucky's tenth in the in the

217
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: SEC standings, which puts some plan on Wednesday.

218
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 4: Night, Well, if they we have they're they're actually the

219
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 4: eighth seed. We have a projected bracket on KS board.

220
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 4: Now everyone should do let's see it. Kentucky right now

221
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 4: would be the eight seed playing on Thursday. They would

222
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 4: get the winner of South Carolina and Mississippi State. Those

223
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 4: are the noon games, first game of the day. But

224
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 4: then if you beat Mississippi State or South Carolina, you

225
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 4: have Auburn on decks. It's not the best draw, it's

226
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 4: better than playing on Wednesday, but we'd still like to

227
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: move up a little bit.

228
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 7: Now.

229
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 4: That's that as Arkansas is the fourteen seat.

230
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: You know, it's something I think we got to keep

231
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: an eye on now and the way the season play

232
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: is gonna play out, and who Kentucky tells you yet

233
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: to play? You don't you want to stay away from

234
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: that Wednesday night game and try to get at least

235
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: first round by. I think the double buys now probably

236
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: is out of the question, but they can still. I

237
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 2: hope she'll get at least a one game by.

238
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 4: They'd have to get really hot to get the double

239
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: by beat Tennessee Alabama. The teams in front of I'm

240
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 4: just wondering what this tournament's gonna like. Are we gonna

241
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 4: go on Tuesday? Like, what are we doing shows? If

242
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 4: they happen to play on winds have to and if

243
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 4: they get knocked out, what do we do on Friday

244
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 4: for our big show at ten roof? This is just

245
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 4: the tournament's so different this year. I'm looking at the

246
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: bracket and there's looks like four good games on Wednesday.

247
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 4: I mean, you got Arkansas, Georgia, LSU, Texas, Van Day, Oklahoma,

248
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: South Carolina, Misissippi State. We're used to just seeing the

249
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 4: four bottom feeders ready to go home on that day.

250
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 4: It's just gonna be a whole different experience down there.

251
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 5: So wait, we've got a Friday. Is it still the

252
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 5: remote still on for Friday? Because that will be a

253
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 5: problem if you don't well.

254
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 4: I mean normally, Yeah, that's what I'm asking. What would

255
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 4: we do if they play on Wednesday? I hope they

256
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 4: hope they go.

257
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: Through them Wednesday Alice Bluegown Concert. Is it Thursday night? Yeah,

258
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 2: Thursday night. Yeah, there is a lot to consider it

259
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: all this.

260
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 4: Just so you, I mean, you needn think about being

261
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: on Wednesday in the past, really even on Thursday, and

262
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 4: if you did, it'd be a game you'd win. But that,

263
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 4: as we know, the conference is so loaded this year

264
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 4: in this new format, It's just it's gonna be completely different.

265
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: Be like this moving forward to that would be awful.

266
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: We have a show on tin roof on Friday, and

267
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: they lose on Thursday.

268
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 3: And Arkansas fans show up.

269
00:10:59,160 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: Awful.

270
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: Let's not speak that in the existence. How about they

271
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: how about they run through all of it. But right

272
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: now it's good to see them in the noon Thursday game.

273
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: So we got a lot to talk about. I also

274
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 2: want to talk to you guys about some things that

275
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: Mark Pope said last night on his Coaches Show. Found

276
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,600

277

Speaker 2: Coaches Show last from what he did in the locker room,

278
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 2: maybe at the Old Miss game, maybe a little blood involved.

279
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: So we'll talk about that and take your calls. Let's

280

Speaker 2: they saw blood on his hand coming out of halftime.

314
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: Do we think maybe some furniture got destroyed at halftime

315
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: in the Old Miss game?

316
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 4: According to Pope, it got completely destroyed. We don't know

317
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 4: what pieces of furniture. We don't know what got moved around,

318
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: We don't know what kind of bill they racked up

319
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: in the Old Miss visiting locker room. But even said

320
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 4: something about maybe some some replacements that will be made

321
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 4: in Old Miss's locker room. So whatever happened behind closed doors,

322
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 4: anyone that says Pope is too nice and he's ted Lasso,

323
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 4: that's been the case up until Ole Miss. But it

324
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: sounds like we got a little dark Pope behind the

325
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 4: scenes and he might have snapped on him a little bit.

326
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: He'll be good for him. They needed it after the

327
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 4: way they played in that game.

328
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: When you think about that, Shan.

329
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 5: It sounds like Ole Miss is gonna get a little

330
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 5: bit of furniture upgrade, right.

331
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: I think I would say, yeah, that chair was worth

332
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: five thousand.

333
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 5: Dollars, Give me an upgrade, like an insurance claim, you know,

334
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 5: Like I know another caller was asking like about him

335
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 5: being too soft, not stern enough and I'm sure there's

336
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 5: a lot of those moments that happened behind the scenes.

337
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 5: I just don't think Mark Pope is the type of

338
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 5: coach that's going to, you know, scream in a guy's

339
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 5: face in public, in front of everybody. So I'm sure

340
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 5: the players are getting that. I just don't think they're

341
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 5: getting it during the game. Of course, that's what we see,

342
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 5: and that leads to some of our fans thinking, well,

343
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 5: he's just being too soft.

344
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: I don't think that's the case at all.

345
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 4: His way in explaining it was very Mark Pope, though.

346
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 4: He said something like sometimes we have to run extremely

347
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 4: white hot. Yeah, and okay, if that's his way of

348
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 4: saying I snapped.

349
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: I think that, you know, he's come up with these phrases,

350
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: like one time he's talking about his cerebral cortex. One

351
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: day was it was his chest confidence championship, chess championship chest.

352
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: Last night it was burned white hot. I think that's

353
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: what he said that a couple of times. Explain that.

354
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not I'm assuming it just means he yelled

355
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 4: and really let into him something I don't think he's

356
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 4: had to do much in the past. He just kind

357
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: of said you know, sometimes it's got to get to

358
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: that point to get your message across. And he burned

359
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 4: white hot at Old Miss, maybe burned a few things else.

360
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

361
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: What do you think he broke in the locker room?

362
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 4: You got chairs in there.

363
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: Well, there's a whiteboard. There's a famous Guy Morris incident

364
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: when he was a head coach of Kentucky went into

365
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: halftime over there at CommonWell Stadium when it was Commonwealth,

366
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: punched a whiteboard, broke a bone in his hand. Like

367
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: he coached the second half with a broken bone in

368
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: his hand, and he's wrist or something. So it's it happens.

369
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: It's not the it's not the well. Yeah, I think

370
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: a lot of it's like your parents with your kids.

371
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: You do have to pick and choose your battles. You

372
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: can't just yell and scream and be burn white hot

373
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: every time they do something wrong. That's all you would

374
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: do all day. But if you pick the spot where

375
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: they really need some adjustments of some guidance, that's maybe

376
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: it may be more of a learning tool for him.

377
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: I think that's what Pope is trying to allude to.

378
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: And hopefully that carries over to South Carolina, and it

379
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 4: wasn't wasted in a blowout. You know, you don't want

380
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 4: to tear down the locker room and then just still

381
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 4: leads to a loss and nothing happened. And so hopefully

382
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 4: that team takes it with them and responds on Saturday.

383
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 4: And who knows, maybe we need a little more dark Pope.

384
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 5: I don't like this, but you know, if someone's constantly

385
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 5: screaming at you after a while, that wears you down.

386
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: And I think it does.

387
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 5: Pope was saying, you know, like you guys were saying there,

388
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 5: you got to kind of pick and choose those moments.

389
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 5: You don't want to be constantly screaming at your players.

390
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 5: There's a time and a place for everything. And I

391
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 5: think Pope really that.

392
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 4: I got the quote. He even said he said he

393
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 4: might have gone a little coach p maybe pulling Patino in.

394
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 4: He did say that it's got to be for a purpose.

395
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 4: It can't just be an emotional release. That's not the

396
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 4: productive thing. We try and make sure it's something that's

397
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 4: always really really personal and not just indulgent, like an

398
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 4: indulgent emotional outburst. It's not functional. That's such a nerdy

399
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 4: way to say. I broke something, but that's.

400
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: Pope well bringing coach p You know, the stories about

401
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: Coach Patino around here are famous. Like he went into

402
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: the locker room I think it was at Vanderbilt, I'm

403
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: not sure about that, took his shoe off and threw

404
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: it at Sean Wood's head. Oh yeah, bounced off the

405
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: wall in the locker room.

406
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 4: I've heard Sean tell that one fairly recently. I don't

407
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: know if it's with us on pregame or whatever, but yeah,

408
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 4: you've already got two of these. You got any more

409
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 4: in there in that brain of old UK memories.

410
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: Well there was I know, old coach p Patino got

411
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: on the team plane and walked the aisle of the

412
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: team plane and just took turned, chewing everybody. I just

413
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: went down the aisle and them out before they could

414
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: take off. This is like before they even left the airport.

415
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 4: That day the Kentucky Louisville game basketball in Indianapolis, the

416
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 4: Harrison shot you know, part of that big run Tyler Thompson.

417
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 4: And now I got to sit right behind the bench,

418
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 4: which is pretty rare. We're usually up on the moon.

419
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 4: But Aerobic broke a clipboard. I can't remember if it's

420
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 4: over his knee, or he just slammed it down. It

421
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 4: landed right in front of us, and we each took

422
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 4: half with us. They left it there, so got a

423
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 4: little souvenir of a broken John Robic clipboard.

424
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: You know, Shannon and I both played for a college

425
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: baseball coach that was kind of that way. But yet

426
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 2: it made me and a lot of our players mad.

427
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: We wanted to prove him wrong. I think maybe is

428
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 2: that the thought process when you get do that.

429
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 5: I feel like for us it made us play more timid,

430
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 5: like we were so afraid to make a mistake.

431
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 3: We were tight.

432
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 5: And you know, it depends like some players react differently.

433
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 5: You know, some players, if you get in their face

434
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 5: and you yell at them, they they play better. Other players,

435
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 5: I feel like, go into their shell. And I think

436
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 5: that's part of being a coach. You have to manage

437
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 5: those unique personalities for each per. You know, what may

438
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 5: make you Ryan play better may make me.

439
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: I totally agree with this. Yeah, yeah. My dad always

440
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 2: used to say he would yell at me instead of

441
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 2: yelling at the other guard because the other guard was

442
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: kind of emotional, so he'd yell at me so to

443
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 2: kind of get scare the other guard.

444
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 5: Right, some players just completely shut down and don't respond

445
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 5: to the you know, being screamed at all.

446
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 2: Well, here's the other half of Pope's quote. Pope says,

447
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: any staff are trying not to be emotionally belligerent. This

448
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: game begs you to lash out at your players, but

449
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: that has limited short term, short term returns. So I

450
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: think you know there is a I guess he's trying

451
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: to say, there's time to get mad, to motivate, but

452
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: it's not going to help you long term. It's just

453
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: to get them out of the funk or get snap

454
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 2: them into something at the moment. Right.

455
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 4: Is That's how I he doesn't believe in just screaming

456
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 4: all the time. He didn't say Hurley, but I'll use

457
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 4: Hurly as an example. A guy that just seems to

458
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 4: always be on fire. That's not Mark Pope. But it

459
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 4: is good to know that he has it in him

460
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: when necessary, because I think a lot of the fans

461
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 4: after Tuesday night were we're wondering if that's in him

462
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 4: because the team played a little soft and trickle down

463
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 4: effect from your coaching staff. It's good to know he

464
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 4: has that white hot fire when he needs it. Now,

465
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 4: let's see what that turns into.

466
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, because just me hearing this story that he got

467
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: upset at halftime justified the way they played in the

468
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 2: first half. If he's got a break whiteboard or a

469
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: chair or whatever happened in that locker room, the Fire's

470
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: team up. They did play better in the second.

471
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 3: Half, no doubt.

472
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 5: Whether they score fifty three fifty three points in the

473
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 5: second half, Ole.

474
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 4: Miss goot money too, They'll be fine. They can get

475
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 4: some new furniture. I just wish it had been in

476
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 4: a win. So those journey videos they put out, for

477
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 4: sure we might actually get video evidence of it, even

478
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: though it sounds like maybe a bit of a crime

479
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: of destructive property there, but it would be cool to

480
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 4: see what actually happened. That'll probably stay in house forever.

481
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: So I guess now that it's out there, do you

482
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 2: think it'll happen again? Or does that? With his personality,

483
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: almost have a hard time believing that's gonna be a

484
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: regular occurrence.

485
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, if it happens again, I worry what kind of

486
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 4: situation we're in.

487
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully he does kind of need to do it again.

488
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 4: Let's let's go beat South Carolina on Saturday by twenty

489
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 4: and move on to the next game. And but if

490
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 4: he needs to tap into it, it's.

491
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: There, Shannon, what do you think?

492
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I again, like for fans seeing Mark

493
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 5: Pope and not seeing him outraged, I feel like it's

494
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 5: easy for us on the outside looking in to go, well,

495
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 5: he's he's not showing a lot of passion, a lot

496
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 5: of emotion over there on the sideline, But as long

497
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 5: as he's getting the message across behind scenes.

498
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 3: I'm totally fine with it.

499
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 5: And like we said, obviously it worked because they came

500
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 5: out in the second half they look like a completely

501
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 5: different team than they did in the first.

502
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe there's some guys that can or will

503
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: respond to that kind of coaching. But with the things

504
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: that we've got a couple guys that are so quiet

505
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: in their own just their personality, you know, Jackson Robinson,

506
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: Kobe Braa, these guys are kind of quiet guys, you know.

507
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: Mari Mari.

508
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

509
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 4: I don't know if they're still doing it, but they've

510
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 4: they've been rotating who gives the pregame speech. Kirk was

511
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 4: a sign on him there for a while and it's

512
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 4: been a month or so, but Pope when it was

513
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 4: Amari's turn, his pregame speech was like two sentences. You know,

514
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 4: that's just his personality.

515
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned Lamar Butler, Pope said last night, he's well,

516
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 2: he was the heart and soul of our team. You

517
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: take that away, you can kind of see why you

518
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: may have some struggles when it comes to passion, emotion,

519
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: getting ready for a big game.

520
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm going all the way back to the summer.

521
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 4: When we were doing the first interviews, everyone talked about

522
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 4: Lamont being the on court leader, very vocal, kind of

523
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 4: hyping him up a bit. I think they're missing that

524
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 4: just as much as his actual play and defense out there,

525
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 4: because you know, I don't know if he would have

526
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 4: made a difference Tuesday that was a whooping. I don't

527
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 4: know if he could have changed the out come much,

528
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 4: but he might have gotten guys a little more dialed

529
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 4: in defensively and given him a chance.

530
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: I felt like he would have help probably a lot more.

531
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: At the Arkansas game, Yes, Garden DJ and Gardening the

532
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 2: preimter out there for sure, but the only miss game

533
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: that they were just hitting everything they were. You know,

534
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: we talked about how well they shot. They had some

535
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 2: wide open looks. They also hit shots with guys right

536
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 2: in her face.

537
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Pope has been a big thing is

538
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 4: he wants the guys who can't shoot to shoot. They're

539
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 4: allowing it. But this is two straight games with the

540
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 4: guys who can't shoot or lights out, So I don't

541
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 4: know if that strategy can keep going on. Maybe it's

542
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: the case these guys are seeing Kentucky and we all

543
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 4: know everybody plays their best when that Kentucky logos across

544
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 4: from him. But I'm a little done with just letting

545
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 4: the non shooters shoot willingly because they're knocking them down lately.

546
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 3: Well.

547
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: I don't want to pooh pooh on what punk Pope

548
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: did in the locker room, but I think it maybe

549
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 2: it worked. All Right, We'll take our break, we'll come back.

550
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 2: Don't feel where Kentucky branded on Friday Tomorrow? Gosh tomorrow

551
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: is Friday. Come out and see's out there always a

552
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: good show. And I've got I'm gonna ask you guys

553
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: a question. I want you to make a hot take

554
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 2: on the Kentucky basketball season. This year. The dude predicted

555
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: a triple double. Can you guys predict something else that's

556
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 2: gonna happen. We'll get your hot takes. We come back

557
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: here can take a sports radio. We've talked about this

558
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 2: song before. I can't believe that this is like the

559
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 2: early seventies. I can't believe they played that on the radio.

560
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,719
Speaker 2: I think a lot of stations refuse to play it.

561
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: Think about that in the early seventies and this song

562
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 2: comes out. Yeah, about being on the pill. That's little

563
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 2: that's pushing the envelope quite a bit.

564
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 5: I was planning for Matt Jones and his pill that

565
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 5: he's in today, a little bit different pill.

566
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: Speaking of Matt Jones, Textra calls in on the Avis

567
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 2: and Glass text Machine. I'm surprised Matt missed today as

568
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 2: antal as he is.

569
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 4: That's true. If he keeps missing, he'll have to slot

570
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 4: over to number two show.

571
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: I like this eight two to eight seven. That's our

572
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: Clark's pumpa Chop phone number. Before we go to the phones,

573
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: we'll get to you, I'll promise you. But I ask

574
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: you guys to come up with a hot take on

575
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: the basketball season for the rest of the year. Because

576
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 2: the reason I thought of this the guy that called

577
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: in the pregame show Tuesday night, Drew called the Amari

578
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: Williams triple double. That's a heck of a that's a

579
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: heck of a pool to call that out there. So

580
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're all gonna make ours right now in

581
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 2: case we hit something, you know, and we that guy

582
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: now will remember forever Mason I think was his name.

583
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: He'll be remembered forever for his hot takes, and am

584
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: Mari Williams are going to get a triple double in

585
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: the game. We all need to go on record right now. Mario,

586
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: we might get you to do one too. They got

587
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: hot take, Mario hot take of the UK basketball this year,

588
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: So though, if it happens, we can go back and

589
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 2: chant and can play it like have Do you remember

590
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 2: when you said that on that day Matt was out, Yeah, yeah,

591
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 2: so you got one.

592
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, We're gonna be Auburn.

593
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: That was gonna be mine. That was literally gonna be mine.

594
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 4: Let's just speak it into existence. I have some logic

595
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 4: behind it. We wasted our best effort in the Arkansas game.

596
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 4: Reperena was so good. The whole town was excited. Pope

597
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 4: Nosey dropped the ball in that one. We run it

598
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 4: back for number one. Auburn I'll throw in the game

599
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 4: days in town or wait, we're at Auburn, aren't we?

600
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 2: No, it's here.

601
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's right, Game Bay is coming here. Sorry,

602
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 4: I was getting confused. It yeah, Game day will be

603
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 4: in town. We redo our fastball at Rupperina and win

604
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 4: that game as a seven and a half point underdog.

605
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 5: All right, Shannon uh Okay, I made my take, I

606
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 5: guess back in November, but I'll double down on it.

607
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 5: I said, going into the SEC, Kentucky was gonna finish

608
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 5: eleven and seven. They're four and five right now. It

609
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 5: doesn't look like they're gonna be able to do that,

610
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 5: but I think they still will. I think they're gonna

611
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 5: get white hot, to use Mark Pope's phrase, and I

612
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 5: think there's still a world where they can get hot

613
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 5: and finish eleven and seven and finish in the top

614
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 5: five of the SEC standings.

615
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: All right, Drew Stole mind, just stick with just double down.

616
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: I like that one. That's what I was gonna pick.

617
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 4: I what was your reasoning? Did you have anything behind it?

618
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 4: Mine is just the crowd and a second chance at

619
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 4: a big, you know, Saturday game.

620
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 2: Mine was gonna be Yours is a lot better than mine.

621
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 2: My reasoning was, Pope teams, even at BYU, win the

622
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: games they're not necessarily supposed to. It seem like they

623
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 2: lose some games they should win. I think that's a

624
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: game everybody's gonna pick Auburn to win, and it's gonna

625
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: be a rough and like you said, it'll be a

626
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: crazy environment. Kentucky will win it.

627
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 4: And even though they just destroyed Oklahoma, they have they've

628
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 4: had two close games easily, they're gonna slip up somewhere

629
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 4: will just hopefully it's in Lexington.

630
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 2: They'll have an off shooting night. Those guys can, like

631
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 2: all five of them can shoot. They'll have a night

632
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 2: where somebody or their most of their team's off. So

633
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna go with this one because this

634
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: is one I kind of flirted with. Jackson Robinson is

635
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: about to go off. He's he's figured it out and

636
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 2: he will be an NBA draft pick. Everybody keeps saying

637
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 2: he's not. We have no NBA guys. Jackson Robbins's gonna

638
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: finish so strong, he's gonna play his way to being

639
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: an NBA draft pick. That's what I'm going with.

640
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 4: He's turned it on lately since that dud at Georgia,

641
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: he's been so good at that twenty seven at Mississippi State.

642
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 4: He's had four threes in just about every game at

643
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 4: SEC play. I think Vandy had three. But he's lighted up.

644
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 4: His problem is on the other end, we're losing him.

645
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 4: He's one of the guys that just aren't defending Will.

646
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 4: Early in the season he was good at getting deflections,

647
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 4: getting his hand in places. The last two games, he's

648
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 4: been guilty of being one of the fenders that is

649
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 4: just getting blown by play after play. You're coming over here, Mario.

650
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 2: All right, microph remember with the day we did this,

651
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 2: he's hot takes off one of them hit. We can

652
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: play it back and say, oh, remember look how smart

653
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 2: we were. All right, super Mario, what yours?

654
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 8: My hot take is going to be that Kentucky's gonna

655
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 8: meet up with Arkansas and the SEC tournament and we're

656
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 8: gonna win.

657
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 2: That's a good one. That's that's my hot take. Leaving

658
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 2: it on that, that's a good one. Yeah, there's very

659
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: strong possibility they could definitely meet and you know what,

660
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: and then in the NCAA tournament they're gonna play Saint

661
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 2: John's in the second round.

662
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: Now we're just trying to set up all the count

663
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 4: on that one, all the awkward things.

664
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 2: Uh, here's from Navis and Glass Tex Machine. I'm just

665
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: glad Matt is getting this klon oscar Bey, so now

666
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: you can put it all behind him. I think it's

667
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: fair fair to say, for to say, all right, eight

668
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: five nine two a oh two two eight seven, who's

669
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: our first collar? Shannon? Ted ted go ahead, Ted, Hey.

670
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 9: Good morning. First of all, Jesson's definitely an NBA prospect.

671
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 7: I agree with that.

672
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 9: You know what, guys, I want to make this clear.

673
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 9: Good athletes like elite athletes, and then you know, Kentucky,

674
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 9: any of these guys in this level, they want to

675
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 9: be coached hard. And then what I mean is they

676
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 9: want to be held accountable because they know if they're

677
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 9: gonna win and win championships, they need to be held

678
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 9: accountable and be coached. Now, I'm not saying Pope doesn't

679
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 9: coach them hard. I'm not watching practice, I'm not in

680
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 9: the locker room. But the talk that these guys want

681
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 9: to be treated with kid gloves is completely flawed. When

682
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 9: you're at this level, even and especially at the pro level,

683
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 9: these guys want to know that if they're held accountable

684
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 9: and their coach hard, they're gonna win. They're not there

685
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 9: to like take second place in third place. We just

686
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 9: went through this with our head coach for the Bear Fberflupes.

687
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 9: He was fired midseason. Heck of a nice guy, actually

688
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 9: a pretty good coach. He didn't hold anybody accountable. He

689
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 9: was way too soft on these guys. And as the

690
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 9: players kept speaking and speaking about him throughout the season,

691
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 9: the same things have coming out. He's too easy on people,

692
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 9: He's not holding guys accountable, and they knew they weren't

693
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 9: going to get to the next level. Now I'm not

694
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 9: saying Pope's not doing any of this, and I'm glad

695
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 9: to hear that maybe something went happened in the locker room,

696
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 9: but I just want everyone to know, and you guys

697
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 9: know this, the elite athletes want to be coached hard.

698
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 9: They don't want to treat it softly because they're that

699
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 9: good they can take it. They're not taking it personally,

700
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 9: and I think these guys on Kentucky are much better

701
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 9: than what we've been seeing the last two games. I'm

702
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 9: personally a little concerned, like what is going on behind

703
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 9: the scenes because I've seen them in some tough games

704
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 9: and maybe they've figured that out now. But hey, players

705
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 9: on this team, let's say they can put it together

706
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 9: as we get close to the tournament. That's really all

707
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 9: that matters.

708
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: Perfect, good call, Ted, Thank you appreciate your phone call.

709
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you said a lot of things

710
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: I agree with right there, and maybe Pope getting into

711
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 2: them a little bit will pay off for some of

712
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 2: these guys.

713
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with the caller. I mean, you can

714
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 4: only do the ada boy and we'll get them next

715
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 4: time and keep your head up so many times so

716
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 4: you got to light an actual fire under them.

717
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: Again.

718
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 4: A surprised it hasn't happened before, Old Miss. Maybe it has,

719
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 4: we didn't hear about it because there were some bad

720
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 4: losses before that. At least it finally happened. And to

721
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 4: his point about there's good players are still a good team.

722
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 4: I feel like a lot of our fans completely forgot December.

723
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 4: I'm seeing people just like it's just not working. It's like, yes,

724
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 4: and it has been bad, and I'm as mad at

725
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 4: Old Miss as anyone. That was a horrible game, But

726
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 4: I mean the wins did anyone have Mark Pope beating

727
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 4: Duke Gonzaga Louisville, Florida. I'm not trying to crown him

728
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 4: and say this is a great season because of those games.

729
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 4: But you can't just pile on the losses and not

730
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 4: at least give them credit for what they did earlier.

731
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 4: Now they need to get back to that. They're obviously

732
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 4: trending the wrong direction. You got guys regressing they shouldn't

733
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 4: be in the spot after starting so well. But we

734
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 4: do have to acknowledge that they have won those games.

735
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 4: They're capable of it. They just need to find out

736
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 4: how to do it again.

737
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: And Shannon, just a week ago they won at Tennessee.

738
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 2: They was shorthanded, they'd have car Butler in the Tennessee

739
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: Gaming going down there and beat a team that was

740
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: number one in the country for.

741
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 5: Several weeks, right, I mean for Mark Pope to come

742
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 5: in and build this team from the ground up with

743
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 5: all transfers and you know, some Kentucky guys, all new

744
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 5: coaching staff, I feel like he has still exceeded expectations.

745
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 5: If you say, going in, you know what Drew just

746
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 5: laid out there, you win all those games. I think

747
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 5: most of the fan base would probably be happy, wouldn't you.

748
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, what were your expectations going into

749
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 5: the season before we tipped off the first game?

750
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 2: Well, I'm with you. I think I picked eleven and

751
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: seven in the SEC.

752
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 5: Well, I just mean, in like just overall the entire season,

753
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 5: before we played the first regular season.

754
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: Game, I mean, I remember thinking, I think I think

755
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: we said on this show, I want him just to

756
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: get to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament and

757
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: play on Saturday in the SEC tournament and get to

758
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament's I wanted to

759
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 2: see this first year.

760
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 4: I feel like Kentucky fans forgot what we were saying

761
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 4: in April. I mean, people just wanted to win a

762
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 4: game in Nashville and win a game in the NCAA.

763
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 4: And now I'm seeing stuff like this team can't go

764
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 4: to the final four. He can't do it. It's like, well,

765
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 4: did you expect that in May? I mean, we're Kentucky.

766
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 4: We want to be there. But I'm not going to

767
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 4: beat him up for not going to the final four

768
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 4: this year. Now, if he goes on and doesn't win

769
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 4: a game in the SEC or n Cuba that's a

770
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 4: conversation we'll have. But right now, I'm not just throwing

771
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 4: this aside. They could still go on and run and

772
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 4: have a lot of fun moving forward. Heck, they could

773
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 4: make the final four. Someone just predicted their hot take.

774
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 4: They tweeted in they said, Kentucky men and women in

775
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 4: the final four this year.

776
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 2: I love that.

777
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 4: That's an extremely hot take. But that was the submission

778
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 4: here on Twitter.

779
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: The women are what now twenty and two, nineteen and two,

780
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 2: something like that. I think that's crazy. We really don't

781
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 2: talk about them as much as we should have because

782
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: they are. They got the best player on campus and

783
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: right now, they got the best team on campus, and

784
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 2: they deserve their flowers.

785
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

786
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 4: Earlier this week, Georgia was named Nate Smith Player of

787
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 4: the Week. She's a point Guard of the Year finalist

788
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 4: SEC Player of the Week. I mean, as you said it,

789
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 4: who's the best basketball player in Lexington right now? Georgia

790
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 4: amos exactly, And they are so fun to watch. I

791
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 4: hate that there's not a Thursday game tonight. They have

792
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 4: a full week off.

793
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: They don't play.

794
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 4: It's a Sunday or Monday. I'll be tuned in for

795
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 4: that one. But I can't wait for them to get

796
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 4: back to Memorial Coliseum and get over there and watch

797
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 4: them in person at LSU and Tennessee around the corner,

798
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 4: back to back.

799
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: Not easy. The SEC women's schedules as hard as the

800
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: SEC men's schedule every year. All right, let's take take

801
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 2: one more call, Shann who we got? All right, let's

802
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 2: go to Rob, Rob, Go ahead, Rob.

803
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 7: Yeah.

804
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 10: I just had a comment and then a question. A

805
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 10: comment was I was privileged enough to be in the

806
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 10: locker room for Coach Hall on the eighty three team

807
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 10: in the eighty fourteen, and the psychology of the players

808
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 10: is interesting. I'm not sure that. I'm not sure back

809
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 10: then that it was realized. You could tell Charlie Hurt,

810
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 10: get on him that he couldn't do something, and he

811
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 10: would run through a wall. If you got on Derek Cord,

812
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 10: Derek would believe you and he couldn't do it. Sam

813
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 10: just was to himself, and Sam had to motivate himself,

814
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 10: and what you said to him didn't matter. And Melvin

815
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 10: was just you know, Melvin sometimes didn't know who we

816
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 10: were playing, and that is a truth. Coach Hall one

817
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 10: time not really destroy anything, but hit something, and he

818
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 10: was at the chalkboard and there was a coke there,

819
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 10: and he took his program and went across and knocked

820
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 10: a coke across the room minute it landed in one

821
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 10: of the assistant coach's chest. And then my question was,

822
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 10: and I was talking to some people earlier, and I

823
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 10: know this was brought up on the Leach Report earlier.

824
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 10: First of all, what Pope has done is amazing, coming

825
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 10: in after the portal was partially full or taken and

826
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 10: come up with a team he has. My question is

827
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 10: he can teach great offense, but can he teach great

828
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 10: defense or is it just the fact that we don't

829
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 10: have Butler. I mean, getting me to one hundred and

830
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 10: six to one hundred by Alabama is just shouldn't happen.

831
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 10: So that's my question.

832
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 2: Thank you, Okay, all right, ro I appreciate that. We'll

833

862
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:10,399

00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 8: if he sees getting Oh lord, these procedures are these

Speaker 2: Once you hit farty like you are allowed.

873
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 3: You were allowing during the break like it was the

00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 3: funniest thing you had ever read in your life.

875
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: And that's the one I like.

876
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 3: Read them and they're not that good. The farty was

877
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 3: all right?

878
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: Remember that. That's the joke that guy told us we

879
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: were in New Hampshire. He said, why is there only

880
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty nine beans in this can of beans?

881
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: Because if there was one more, it'd be too foddy.

882
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: The silence is definitely eight five nine two two eight seven.

883
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phone lines. Who we got Shannon,

884
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 2: Jeff Jeff, Go ahead, Jeff, Jeff, are you there?

885
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 3: Didn't like your joke?

886
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 2: No, he must have hung up. All right, who's next,

887
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 2: Let's try Joe, Joe, go ahead, Joe.

888
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 7: You all got to leave him j alone. He totally

889
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 7: drained and needed the day off.

890
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is totally drained.

891
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 7: Uh have you all seen I think I thick think

892
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 7: it was Drew to tweet this out. Have you all

893
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 7: seen that Daniel Wolf kid at Michigan.

894
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 2: Oh?

895
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 4: Yes, he's my number one. Go get him, Pope, portal target.

896
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 7: Gotta get him, Gotta get him. He fits the system perfectly.

897
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 7: And uh, I think he'd be a great fit. But

898
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 7: that's the problem for for next year. I guess all.

899
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 2: Right, thank you appreciate the phone call. You know, next year,

900
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be interesting mix. He's already got

901
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 2: the freshman Jasper Johnson, Malchomarino and a Kaden Lewis. He's

902
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 2: gonna have at least three guys probably come back, Brandon Garrison,

903
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 2: Otaga and Kerr, and then he'll have another three or

904
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 2: four portal guys. It's like it's gonna be a mix

905
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 2: of everything. I think next year.

906
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 4: I want Danny Wolf. I know Garrison's coming back, probably

907
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 4: to take a Mari spot. But Danny Wolf's seven foot tall.

908
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 4: He shoots the three. Last night, I tweeted it or

909
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 4: retweeted it. He playing against Oregon. He just put this

910
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 4: dude in a blender and stepped back and hit a

911
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 4: three in his face. I mean, he looks like a

912
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 4: guy that was made to play for Mark Pope. He's

913
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 4: having a great year for Michigan. If anyone's watched them,

914
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 4: you know exactly who I'm talking about. And I know

915
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 4: they already have Garrison Marino. I don't feel that comfortable

916
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 4: with only those two going into next year. So when

917
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 4: it's time to go portaling, it's time to go shopping,

918
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 4: I hope he's on the list.

919
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 2: I failed to mention the three freshmen. So we have

920
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 2: three recruits, three freshmen, three returning players, and then three

921
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 2: or four portal guys. Probably, yeah, that would have to

922
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: have to.

923
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 4: Get some big portal guys. I mean, I like the

924
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 4: pieces he already has, But I just don't think Pope's

925
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 4: gonna need a good year. I don't think you can

926
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 4: trust the freshman coming in and just what you've already named,

927
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 4: he's got to go out and Land some big tar.

928
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 2: Who's next, Shannon Scott? Scott, go ahead, Scott.

929
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 6: I think, guys, I just got a comment about Coach

930
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 6: Pope and then I got a hot take for you.

931
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 6: I'm actually the guy that called originally in the Fall

932
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 6: and compared Coach Pope to Ted Lasso. Do you have

933
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 6: to disagree that Pope busting furniture makes it a little

934
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 6: less like ted Lasso?

935
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 4: You there, Yeah, ahead, it does hurt your argument.

936
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 6: Sorry, yeah, I mean I think, you know, if anything,

937
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 6: in my opinion, it kind of makes me more like

938
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 6: ted Lasso, and that, like I mean, kind of reminds

939
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 6: me of when a scene where ted Lasso got mad

940
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 6: and you know, I think one of the players not

941
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 6: coming out for practice and kind of lights of fire.

942
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,479
Speaker 6: But I think his calculated use of that emotion makes

943
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 6: it so much more popent when it actually does come out.

944
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 6: So that said, I kind of wish you would have

945
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 6: done it a little bit more during the first half.

946
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 6: You're a mississip, you're an old me excuse me, rather

947
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 6: than you know in halftime. But but anyway, that that's

948
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 6: just my take on it all.

949
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Go ahead, go ahead, Yeah, go ahead.

950
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 6: Go ahead. He take, Yeah, hot take. Lamon returns for

951
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 6: Alabama until we dominate and we beat Alabama on the road.

952
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 6: So love to see it happen.

953
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 2: All right, appreciate it, Rob. You know, Billy had a

954
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: little hot take about Lamont Butler on the pre show

955
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 2: this morning, Shannon.

956
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh he said.

957
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 5: I think he said next week he would expect Lamont

958
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 5: Butler to be back.

959
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 3: I have no idea what that's based off of.

960
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: But he kind of said it like confident, like he

961
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: knew something.

962
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but does he know something or is he just

963
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 3: saying things he does.

964
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 4: Billy's got some unbelievable confidence.

965
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I mean he might be right. I don't know.

966
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 5: I don't know anything more than apparently he knows more

967
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 5: than I do. If he knows this, give me back

968
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 5: next week. I think it was encouraging that he was.

969
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 2: He did the pregame shoot around and stuff with the

970
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 2: team had down in Oxford or Old Miss where he

971
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 2: was running up and down the field of the court

972
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 2: trying to get his conditioning back in order. I think

973
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 2: that's a huge positive step. Yeah.

974
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 4: I mean, Kentucky was down by twenty and so it

975
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 4: kind of skipped right over that. But Jimmy Dike saying

976
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 4: Lamont was not a full participant, but was very active

977
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 4: in shoot around, running intoing his own drills, doing as

978
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 4: much as he could. That's the first we've heard of that.

979
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 4: So that's that's a good step moving forward.

980
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: I think Matt predicted the twenty second February twenty second.

981
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 4: That's Alabama.

982
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 2: Alabama. Yeah, yeah, So I do think they'll have him

983
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 2: back from March when he comes back for regular season.

984
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, I think, but they want him, I

985
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 2: think as healthy as possible when they go into March.

986
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 2: Don't you think that's the plan?

987
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm to the point I expect him back

988
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 4: just with all the comments and you know, social media

989
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 4: and popping on that Brandon Garrison video, it's just a

990
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 4: matter of when. But we haven't seen the last one.

991
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 4: That's why. As bad as this is, it's like there's

992
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 4: a little light that we can hopefully get back to

993
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 4: everyone healthy. Outside of Kurr, he probably won't be back,

994
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 4: but at least have car and Butler back full in

995
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 4: the rotation and see what can happen.

996
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 2: Well, even with Kerr, he was out shooting around without

997
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 2: a boot on. I mean, you know, he's still a

998
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 2: long way away, but at least he's mobile enough. We

999
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 2: can shoot around a little bit in the shoot around things,

1000
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: so we'll see. All right, we'll take our break, come

1001
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 2: back hour number two. We'll take your phone calls and

1002
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 2: ask anything. Thursday eight five nine two eight h two

1003
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 2: two eight seven, Ryan, Drew and Shannon. Don't forget. We're

1004
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 2: Friday tomorrow. We're Kentucky branded out by the Mall. We'll

1005
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 2: be right back. This is Kentucky's Sports Radio.
