Speaker 3: Welcome to Hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by
Speaker 3: Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones welcome back.
Speaker 4: I remember two Kentucky Sports Radio eightf I'm nine two
Speaker 4: eight oh twenty two eighty seven Wingsday here at ks
Speaker 4: Bar and grill uh Dollar Wings all day, so all night.
Speaker 4: So come on by trivia tonight. I'm hosting my trivia
Speaker 4: next Tuesday.
Speaker 5: By the way, Next Tuesday.
Speaker 4: So next Tuesday, so get your teams. Next Tuesday, I'm
Speaker 4: hosting I got all the of This will be one
Speaker 4: of the last three qualifiers. But next Tuesday, I will
Speaker 4: be hosting trivia, So make sure to get get your
Speaker 4: team ready. The NCAA president Charlie Baker, by the way,
Speaker 4: just in an interview where he said the upcoming house settlement,
Speaker 4: which by the way, a judge will either affirm or deny,
Speaker 4: will in a couple of weeks, will be the biggest
Speaker 4: change in college sports in over fifty years. And I
Speaker 4: think he means the change that the last one was
Speaker 4: probably the integration of schools. For people, I know that
Speaker 4: we do the games and people are people are always
Speaker 4: confused about that because it is confusing.
Speaker 5: But I'll give you the basics of it.
Speaker 4: This house settlement, which would essentially transfer in ale to
Speaker 4: where schools are paying it basically instead of these third parties.
Speaker 4: When that happens, the NCAA believes they can then regulate
Speaker 4: to make sure there's not shady payments to players. I
Speaker 4: have some doubts if they can or not, But either way,
Speaker 4: it'll be such a significant sum of money that I
Speaker 4: do think it will probably eliminate a.
Speaker 5: Lot of the shadiness. But in talking and looking at it,
Speaker 5: here's what needs to happen. There's a judge.
Speaker 4: If the judge affirms the settlement, I think what's gonna
Speaker 4: happen is Congress is going to pass that settlement into law,
Speaker 4: all right, so they're gonna settle it, and then Congress
Speaker 4: is going to say this is the law now because
Speaker 4: the players agreed to it, because the schools agreed to it,
Speaker 4: and this twenty two million dollars a year will just
Speaker 4: become the budgets of all the colleges. And I think
Speaker 4: that's the future of college Athleantica. I think it'll actually
Speaker 4: be good. I'll say this, look at college basketball. Nil
Speaker 4: has made it a better product in my opinion, Ryan,
Speaker 4: I mean, the product is better.
Speaker 5: Players are older, they stay longer.
Speaker 4: The guys who in years past would have gone and
Speaker 4: been second round picks. They stay because they can get
Speaker 4: in ale deal. Like, tell you a guy like Johnny Brown.
Speaker 4: Last year, that kid's in the NBA. Yeah, Mark sears
Speaker 4: in the NBA. Now they have a reason to come back.
Speaker 4: I think that's good for the sport. So I actually
Speaker 4: think people said it. I think college football it's a
Speaker 4: little different because there's so many players. I think there's
Speaker 4: a lot of negatives. But for college basketball, I think
Speaker 4: it's actually been a huge positive.
Speaker 2: I think it's a great argument. It is the greatest
Speaker 2: innovation in college athletics since integration. I never thought i'd
Speaker 2: see to day that maybe the college athletes would get
Speaker 2: paid to go to school like that.
Speaker 5: But that's what they That's what it should be.
Speaker 4: It shouldn't they make a ton of money for the schools.
Speaker 4: I mean it's the right thing to do. You know,
Speaker 4: when when Trump won, it's now changed to where the
Speaker 4: title nine stuff may not be an issue when it
Speaker 4: comes to the money, at least not the way it
Speaker 4: probably would have been.
Speaker 5: The other way.
Speaker 4: People are gonna have an opinion where that's good or bad.
Speaker 5: It's just a fact.
Speaker 4: I think the question is just I mean Mark Stoops
Speaker 4: when he was in the other Day, Drew said, just
Speaker 4: depends on if the judge will prove it.
Speaker 5: Even the coaches know this.
Speaker 4: One judge I think is in California who's managed this
Speaker 4: case for three years. That judge will decide kind of
Speaker 4: the future of college sports. And I think it's gonna
Speaker 4: happen the week after the Final Four.
Speaker 6: It's all coming together. Finally, I agree with you on
Speaker 6: how it's helped college basketball. There are so many guys
Speaker 6: that would have just stayed in obscurity at you know,
Speaker 6: I'll use Dalton connect even though it's a Tennessee example,
Speaker 6: or Walter Clayton at Florida's from my own and heck,
Speaker 6: we got.
Speaker 5: Amari from Drexel.
Speaker 6: These guys never would have an opportunity to be on
Speaker 6: the big stage, and is made the sport so much better.
Speaker 4: Amari Williams. I mean, just look at our team. All
Speaker 4: these guys have gotten it to this kid from LMU, right, Like,
Speaker 4: I mean, there's they all have a chance to kind
Speaker 4: of make this dream happen.
Speaker 5: And I think that's good. Now, speaking of dreams, Mario's
Speaker 5: here's right, Mario, what's up, guys? I have a job
Speaker 5: for you.
Speaker 7: What's the job.
Speaker 5: It's a job that I feel like you can do.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, Unfortunately, because these games are in Lexington, Auburn, Tennessee,
Speaker 4: and Louisville fans are going to descend.
Speaker 5: Upon this right. Whether it's good or bad, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 5: They're here. I'm giving you a job.
Speaker 4: What's the job you're you don't seem excited about this
Speaker 4: job until I know what it is. Your job is
Speaker 4: to find a way to let Auburn, Louisville and Tennessee
Speaker 4: fans know that they should come watch the games at
Speaker 4: ks Bar. But you have to be creative how you
Speaker 4: do it. You have to like reach out to them.
Speaker 4: You need to find the versions of me at those
Speaker 4: schools to reach out to. You got to do something.
Speaker 4: You got this.
Speaker 5: Whole drive to Milwaukee to work on it. Do you
Speaker 5: think you can do it?
Speaker 7: I think I can. I'll reach out to a few
Speaker 7: media personalities.
Speaker 5: Who do you know? Who? Do I know? Yeah? I don't.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna have to look them up.
Speaker 5: Okay. Do you think you can get people in the
Speaker 5: UK fan base? Yes? The phone?
Speaker 4: Do you think you can? You you can use the
Speaker 4: UK fans. You think they'll help you.
Speaker 7: I don't think they'll help me out.
Speaker 5: Why wouldn't they help UK fans?
Speaker 7: Yeah they like you, Yeah they do.
Speaker 4: But so I'm gonna ask Monique standing over there, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna ask her to let me know how many of
Speaker 4: those people come, so that you will see how well
Speaker 4: you did on this because we know the Kentucky fans.
Speaker 7: Will show up. Kentucky fans will show up.
Speaker 5: But what about the rest? That's on you my job now, Okay,
Speaker 5: so come up.
Speaker 7: I'm up for the challenge.
Speaker 4: So give me some ideas of what you think you
Speaker 4: might do to reach Auburn Tesse or Creighton. I don't
Speaker 4: think there's gonna be you many Utah State or u
Speaker 4: c l A fans.
Speaker 5: I think there will be a lot of Creighton fans.
Speaker 7: The Creton's probably gonna be the easiest.
Speaker 5: Why it's crighton the easiest. What do you know about Creighton.
Speaker 8: Because obviously they were they were blue, and they're like
Speaker 8: they're going against Louisville arrivals.
Speaker 5: Because they wear blue, they're more likely to come.
Speaker 7: They're going against Louisville.
Speaker 5: So like we have you know whereon is.
Speaker 7: Is that in Nebraska?
Speaker 5: What do you not know about Creighton? Wow? What's their nickname?
Speaker 4: You're taking an interesting you're taking a very interesting strategy.
Speaker 4: You're looking at the Creighton angle. So you're gonna try
Speaker 4: to get in touch with Crate. They're my first options.
Speaker 5: I need you to also do Alabia, Tennessee. We're gonna
Speaker 5: get about this. Here's another one. Alabama State.
Speaker 4: There's gonna they're not gonna have a lot of people,
Speaker 4: but the people that come are gonna want to have fun.
Speaker 4: I think they will come at the Alabama. So maybe
Speaker 4: you reach out to Alabama State. Sleeper that is a
Speaker 4: sleeper pick.
Speaker 5: That's right? Who else? Who else am I missing? That's coming? Wafford,
Speaker 5: Wafford White Perry. We gotta take care of Wafford White Perry.
Speaker 2: There's a legendary high school football player from Lexington that
Speaker 2: at Watford Jones.
Speaker 5: The Baldy.
Speaker 4: Maybe you maybe you find the Wafford or Alabama State
Speaker 4: people and say, do you all want to come and
Speaker 4: have a little party?
Speaker 7: Now, Yeah, that's a good idea. I'm gonna cook up
Speaker 7: some stuff, cook up some stuff.
Speaker 2: What if what if like an opposing radio station, like
Speaker 2: even in Louisville, want to do their show.
Speaker 5: Here, Well, we were gonna have nick coffee here but
Speaker 5: he can't go.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people can't go because of
Speaker 4: the bridgeman, the junior bridgeman think so uh so anyway,
Speaker 4: But but this is your job.
Speaker 5: I want you to do a good job.
Speaker 4: Can you think you can hand I'm confident, So why
Speaker 4: don't you ask the UK fans out there to help you?
Speaker 4: Since Thursday and Friday and Saturday for here. Sunday will
Speaker 4: be fine because of Kentucky. But Thursday and Friday and
Speaker 4: Saturday to kind of make a nice little tournament crowd.
Speaker 5: Are they gonna help you?
Speaker 8: They're definitely gonna help me, all right, so ask them
Speaker 8: to help UK fans. I'm gonna need all the help
Speaker 8: I can get. And we're gonna try to fill this
Speaker 8: place up. Get Auburn and Louisville fans in Alabama state.
Speaker 8: I mean, everybody's gonna be in here. It's gonna be
Speaker 8: a good mix. It'll be a good mix. Good, it'll
Speaker 8: be like a big party.
Speaker 5: Yes it will. Okay, all right, that's your job. Can
Speaker 5: you handle it?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 5: I can't.
Speaker 4: All right, you know you don't seem too confident. We'll
Speaker 4: see first after you didn't get here in time. I
Speaker 4: did not impalegize for that, and you're gonna go pick
Speaker 4: up our cars? When do we drive it? Nice little minivan?
Speaker 5: Oh? Heck you a minivan? Nice? Okay? All right, automatic doors?
Speaker 5: Get our minivan? All right, thank you very much. Mark.
Speaker 6: Do we need sections like when you come in like
Speaker 6: you used to say smoking or non Do we need
Speaker 6: to say like Auburn or Tennessee or Louisville to keep
Speaker 6: everyone separated.
Speaker 2: Especially it's Tennessee and Auburn coming in here.
Speaker 4: Indiana hired a new coach. His name is like something
Speaker 4: Devin Debris. I think that's something like that comes from
Speaker 4: West Virginia. Greg Doyle this morning wrote, Indiana finally has
Speaker 4: their coach to turn the program around, which I feel
Speaker 4: like I've read that sentence for the last twenty five
Speaker 4: years and it's never happened.
Speaker 5: You're an Indiana guy. Do you like that they hired
Speaker 5: the West Virginia coach.
Speaker 2: A lot of my good friends, obviously are still Indiana fans.
Speaker 2: They're just still but hurt that they didn't get Dusty
Speaker 2: May who went to Michigan. That's the guy they should
Speaker 2: have gone out for used to be. Are you gonna
Speaker 2: get him? Why would yes? Teamate leave. No, was he
Speaker 2: Michigan hired him? Like what a year before? They should
Speaker 2: have made that move when he was available. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: he grew up in Indiana. He was an assistant manager
Speaker 2: under Bob Knight. That's the one they missed out on.
Speaker 2: So they're still swinging for the fences. Then, I don't
Speaker 2: know if they got did it with this guy either.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this dude, uh, people say is good, but like,
Speaker 4: who knows, didn't make the tournament this year?
Speaker 5: You know Indiana?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I guess you could also say, look
Speaker 4: when Kentucky hired Mark Pope, even though we love Mark Pope,
Speaker 4: that was a BYU coach who hadn't won a tournament game.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know why Indiana thought. I mean
Speaker 5: they thought they were.
Speaker 4: They kept saying they were gonna get Brad Stevens or
Speaker 4: what like, it's not gonna happen. You have to try
Speaker 4: to swing for one of these.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love a He's leaving in the middle of
Speaker 6: West Virginia's pity party in lawsuit. He's like, I'm out,
Speaker 6: I'm y'all gonna have this. But also, there were just
Speaker 6: so many names they were shooting for. Maybe this guy
Speaker 6: pans out. But if you're a fan, you had to
Speaker 6: have wanted Chris Beard or Bruce Pearl or they shot
Speaker 6: they were shooting for the stars and got a lot
Speaker 6: of nose, or at least didn't want to wait on
Speaker 6: some of those guys.
Speaker 4: The governor looked more stupid now that both the coach
Speaker 4: left and North Carolina won by thirty last night. The
Speaker 4: governor who filed the lawsuit, does he look Does that
Speaker 4: make it look dumber?
Speaker 2: I think it does a little bit, especially when North
Speaker 2: Carolina just rolled last night. They looked like they deserved
Speaker 2: to be in the tournament. They played so well.
Speaker 5: You got from devrye whatever his name is, Devys. I
Speaker 5: don't think he's from the DeVry he used to have.
Speaker 6: He pulled on Liam Cohen he had just gotten there
Speaker 6: and talked about how that's where he wanted to be
Speaker 6: and loves Morgantown and I'm here Rago Mountaineers, and then nobody.
Speaker 5: Morgantown, Bloomington, Morgantown, I don't know, Bloomington.
Speaker 4: You can at least get to Chicago if he doesn't
Speaker 4: work out.
Speaker 5: How many bad coaches can they hire before playing game?
Speaker 4: How many coaches have they had so they had Mike Davis,
Speaker 4: was Tom Crean.
Speaker 2: Next, Kelvin Sampson.
Speaker 5: I think, oh, that's.
Speaker 4: Right, Kelvin Sampson, then Tom Crean up. You skipped over
Speaker 4: a Dan Dakich.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's yes, that's right.
Speaker 6: Dan Dockicch was the coach for a few minutes before
Speaker 6: or did he step in for Sampson when.
Speaker 5: I think Sampson got fired, had to finish the season.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you about it.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's even more than I thought. So Mike Davis,
Speaker 4: Kelvin Sampson, Dan Dockitch, then Archie Miller, Archie Miller who
Speaker 4: had Bruiser Flynn on staff, Mike Woodson, and now the
Speaker 4: DeVry inst So how many times do they.
Speaker 5: Missed before you just you're dead. I don't think they
Speaker 5: missed with Kelvin Sampson. He just got in truck in trouble.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think Kelvin Sampson was a good hih
Speaker 4: he just got in trouble.
Speaker 5: But you can do it was also twenty years ago. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Besides that, though, I think they've all been missing.
Speaker 2: I honestly thought Archie Miller was the guy. I thought
Speaker 2: he was a guy who was going to have a
Speaker 2: great success there. He didn't just didn't happen.
Speaker 4: Well, everybody I knew Mike. I knew Mike Woodson wouldn't succeed,
Speaker 4: and everybody they all you know, they were the third
Speaker 4: biggest Nile team in the country.
Speaker 5: This year and still didn't make the turn.
Speaker 6: Their fans were fired up about woods and they can
Speaker 6: act like they weren't. But when they got him, they
Speaker 6: thought they'd figured it out. I thought they stood a
Speaker 6: chance if they got one of the bigger names. Maybe
Speaker 6: this guy works. But that can't be exciting for Hoo's
Speaker 6: yours fans.
Speaker 5: They can't. Who's up next year?
Speaker 9: Mason?
Speaker 5: Mason? How are you? Mason? Hey man? How are you
Speaker 5: doing today? Doing good? So? I have this running.
Speaker 10: Theory that if otaga Oway returns next year, that he
Speaker 10: will be a candidate for National Player of the Year.
Speaker 10: Do you think that's a little bit too over ex
Speaker 10: or do you think that's.
Speaker 4: I think he will be one of the people they
Speaker 4: mentioned in the preseason candidate for National Player of the Year.
Speaker 4: Do I think otega Oway would be the National Player
Speaker 4: of the Year next year? Probably not, But do I
Speaker 4: think they'll mention him as a candidate? I do because
Speaker 4: he's had a great year, and if he comes back,
Speaker 4: he'll be one that they mentioned.
Speaker 5: Even though I wouldn't say Ryan, I think he would win. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think he's a guy that you know, first team
Speaker 2: All SEC, preseason things like that. Ever, what he did
Speaker 2: this year, a guy that when none of us had
Speaker 2: in the starting lineup ended up being our leading scorer,
Speaker 2: scored double figures what every.
Speaker 5: Game but two? I mean, who saw that? Peters?
Speaker 2: I think he can do even better next year.
Speaker 6: I think though, that's what they'll be selling them on
Speaker 6: as being kind of a face of college basketball. I
Speaker 6: don't know if that'll lead to any awards, but if
Speaker 6: you look at the people ahead of him on All SEC,
Speaker 6: they're all, yeah, they're all thirty years old. So I
Speaker 6: think he'll be maybe the face of the SEC and bigger.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean in college basketball in terms of freshman next year,
Speaker 4: the most high profile profile probably be.
Speaker 5: The Boozer guys. Devon said, b Yu eight million dollars.
Speaker 5: E Yu can't be. It's not gonna be hip.
Speaker 4: No one's gonna see the game, So it's probably gonna
Speaker 4: be the Boozer brothers, and I think Otego will be
Speaker 4: one of the sort of faces of college basketball next year,
Speaker 4: So I definitely think they'll sell him on that to
Speaker 4: try to get him to come back.
Speaker 6: I expect he will come back, do you. I would
Speaker 6: be shocked if he's not back. He doesn't have the
Speaker 6: shot to go pro yet. Three pointers and then I mean,
Speaker 6: where else you gonna go at? You're Kentucky and they're
Speaker 6: gonna take good care of you and make your priorities.
Speaker 6: So he might enter the draft to go through the waters,
Speaker 6: or might even hear from people in the portal.
Speaker 5: But I'd be shocked if he's not back.
Speaker 4: And I think for Pope, he really needs him back
Speaker 4: because that's that is a centerpiece that you can go
Speaker 4: then build around. We had no centerpiece this year. We
Speaker 4: didn't even really get our quote unquote centerpiece until Jackson
Speaker 4: Robinson was the last guy. You can come in with
Speaker 4: that guy. I think that would be huge for Mark Pope.
Speaker 4: If I'm nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven, we're here,
Speaker 4: it's chaos. Bargill take a break at Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 4: A lot of Milwaukee songs, the song's about beer. Is
Speaker 4: there anything like what do you?
Speaker 5: I mean?
Speaker 4: Is there anything about Milwaukee that the average person knows
Speaker 4: except beer. I mean when you say Milwaukee, it's like beer.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, because they even Happy Days Arthur Fonzarelli of
Speaker 2: the Shots Brewery and was Happy Days in Milwaukee. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Lavernon Shirley, that was on Milwaukee.
Speaker 4: I didn't realize I knew him, Lavernon, but I guess
Speaker 4: that wasn't Lavernon Churry. Was that a spin off of Happyness?
Speaker 5: It was?
Speaker 2: I think there's a statue of the fawns that I
Speaker 2: want to go see Milwaukee. Touch the heck yeah yeaher
Speaker 2: and cheese.
Speaker 6: Got some good cheese up there? Oh, I bet there
Speaker 6: will be good cheese. Yeah, beer cheese, right, you can
Speaker 6: combine them. Although that's one Chester, Kentucky can't be giving
Speaker 6: that to walk.
Speaker 4: Scottie Scheffler won the Masters, so he gets to pick
Speaker 4: the Master's dinner and he just released the menu. Okay,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna read you the menu, Shandon, feel free to
Speaker 4: jump in.
Speaker 5: Is this a good menu for the Master? Remember that
Speaker 5: they could.
Speaker 4: Everybody's wearing jackets and the only people that get to
Speaker 4: go are the people that have won and their spouses.
Speaker 4: All Right, appetizers, cheeseburger sliders, serve Scottie style.
Speaker 5: What Scottie style in prison? Uh?
Speaker 4: Firecracker shrimp with sweet chied chili and saracha mayo. So
Speaker 4: Papa Scheffler's meat ball and ravioli bike. First course Texas
Speaker 4: style chili A lot of meat in this main course
Speaker 4: a wood fired cowboy ribbi or blackened redfish with Jalipino
Speaker 4: creamed corn.
Speaker 5: Sounds like a great deal so far. Dessert warm chocolate
Speaker 5: chip skillet cookie with a come in, let's go, I
Speaker 5: am seems like a pretty good menu to me. Great.
Speaker 6: I think that all sounds pretty heavy. I think he's
Speaker 6: gonna feed all everyone playing into that, and he's just
Speaker 6: gonna sit back, have a little soup, and then be
Speaker 6: ready to go.
Speaker 4: It is pretty heavy if you were to eat all that,
Speaker 4: if you were to eat the ravioli.
Speaker 6: The cheeseburger sliders as an appetizer is.
Speaker 4: A heck of an appetizer. If you're gonna have steak
Speaker 4: is your main course with a.
Speaker 5: Bullet chili is footballs? Is he from Texas? Yeah? Texas flavoring.
Speaker 5: So here's my question.
Speaker 4: You win the Masters, probably not gonna happen, but let's
Speaker 4: say you do, and you get to pick them in you,
Speaker 4: and remember you're picking them in you, and there'll be
Speaker 4: fancy chefs cooking whatever you ask for them. So what
Speaker 4: is your main course, Ryan gonna be at your Master's dinner?
Speaker 2: My main course, Uh, it's gotta be some sort of steak,
Speaker 2: probably from Rodney's.
Speaker 5: You mean you're.
Speaker 4: Gonna win the Masters and you're gonna bring the steak
Speaker 4: from Rodney? How about we? Well, first of all, you
Speaker 4: can't do that because it's at the Master's.
Speaker 9: Get it from Linda.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no cha, Linda, no chi, Linda steaks prepared like
Speaker 2: they do it Rodney's. Uh my mom's mashed potatoes, my
Speaker 2: mom's deviled eggs.
Speaker 5: Are you gonna make your mom cook them? Yes?
Speaker 2: Uh my grandma's apple pie recipe. She's not alive.
Speaker 5: So it's gonna be harder to do. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And you know how old ladies when they fix, they
Speaker 2: don't have anything written down. It's all, you know, a
Speaker 2: pinch here, scoop there, it's in some mess of stuff.
Speaker 2: But that's what I'm going with, steak, mashed potatoes, deviled eggs,
Speaker 2: apple pie.
Speaker 4: So that's like the most American generic meal you could have.
Speaker 5: I'm American.
Speaker 2: These colors don't run baby Patriot.
Speaker 4: You are like you kind of epitomize American in some ways.
Speaker 5: When Hedeki won a few years ago, his was all
Speaker 5: Japanese food, was it? So what would you put on yours?
Speaker 6: You you're you're usually a more creative Yes, definitely, lots
Speaker 6: of Mexican food. I feel like I have a high
Speaker 6: tolerance for that stuff, and I could absolutely just destroy
Speaker 6: the competition by give them the spicy stuff, several taco options.
Speaker 5: Uh, but that would I would go to mex absolutely.
Speaker 4: Shanon, I think I would throw Everyboddy off main course
Speaker 4: Skyline chill also destroying stomachs.
Speaker 9: I'll sign for that. I'll co sign on.
Speaker 5: Main course skyline chili.
Speaker 4: I would give appetizer or chaos bar, wingss bar cheese.
Speaker 2: Logs has got to put that on my back here.
Speaker 4: I'd have we'd have our folks come down there. But
Speaker 4: I do think it would throw people off if they
Speaker 4: had to eat sky Line chili is the main of course.
Speaker 4: I don't I think.
Speaker 9: Everybody walking around with chili all over their face.
Speaker 4: Exactly you want to talk about them it hurting them
Speaker 4: on the round the next day. If you if your
Speaker 4: stomach is not used to it, you get out there
Speaker 4: at Whole seven and there's no porta potty.
Speaker 5: Then there's other things. What we're playing the long game here?
Speaker 5: What about you ship?
Speaker 9: What about some sushi for like an appetizers, they're.
Speaker 3: Gonna go soushush, you know, like those little dumplings that
Speaker 3: you can get that.
Speaker 5: Good, old dude, I don't know what's next door here?
Speaker 5: Does those dumplings very good? Yep?
Speaker 3: Then I'm going kind of with Ryan on steak, baked potato,
Speaker 3: maybe some like asparagus for a side asparagus and then
Speaker 3: and then banana croquettes would be my banana croquettes from
Speaker 3: Bulla County.
Speaker 5: So there you go. That's uh, that's our that's our,
Speaker 5: our master's dinners. What would be your dessert?
Speaker 4: I tell you the skillet cookie is a good that's
Speaker 4: a really good call. I love a good skillet cookie.
Speaker 4: It makes you feel awful after because it makes you
Speaker 4: feel like you're getting really fat. But it is a
Speaker 4: skellet cookie is really really good.
Speaker 5: That's probably my favorite dessert. Yeah, make those at home
Speaker 5: a lot. I kind of agree with you. Who's up neck, Claude, Claude,
Speaker 5: how are you Claude?
Speaker 10: Doing great? Matt Good morning to guys. Listen, I took
Speaker 10: a golf trip to Wisconsin last summer. Spent about twenty
Speaker 10: four hours in Milwaukee, and I've got a couple of
Speaker 10: things to recommend for you guys and the Foenus traveling up. First,
Speaker 10: go to American Family Field, the home of the Brewers.
Speaker 10: They have restaurants that are open there year round and
Speaker 10: it's very easy access. You can drive right up to
Speaker 10: the enterance go in. They get the team shop and everything,
Speaker 10: but they also have a simulator golf in there. You
Speaker 10: can get appetizers, have a beer, and play simulator golf
Speaker 10: overlooking kind of at the club level the field and
Speaker 10: that field is awesome, and that stadium is awesome. It's retractable,
Speaker 10: you know, retractabory.
Speaker 5: It's a great what's the other one?
Speaker 10: Okay, So Wisconsin has a cultural phenomenon called supper clubs.
Speaker 10: Before you get too far afield what that could be,
Speaker 10: they're just restaurants, but sort of the hallmarks of Wisconsin
Speaker 10: supper clubs are they're meaning like they do fish fries
Speaker 10: on Friday.
Speaker 5: Serve yeah, Saturday, I'm not going to a fish fry.
Speaker 4: I mean, remember this, but I'm taking I'm taking these
Speaker 4: goobers with me. I'm not going to a supper club.
Speaker 4: Do you understand, like I mean, we're gonna I gotta
Speaker 4: go somewhere that will let these people in.
Speaker 10: Well that's so, That's what I was gonna say. Is
Speaker 10: their restaurants. You you you'll totally be at home there
Speaker 10: with your hoodie and your air Jordan's. But they have
Speaker 10: they have a broader menu than that, and they're they're
Speaker 10: the atmosphere is cool. They specialize in cocktails and unique
Speaker 10: atmosphere and appetizers, and it'll this sort of bridges the
Speaker 10: gap because they won't go to a uh, you know,
Speaker 10: a museum, but this gets you a culture of the guys.
Speaker 5: I know. I appreciate the suggestion.
Speaker 4: I appreciate the call, but they're not. First of all,
Speaker 4: they're not going to go to a supper club, and
Speaker 4: I'm not taking them to a supper club. My goal
Speaker 4: is to not be embarrassed on this trip anymore than
Speaker 4: we'll always do. I got our house, by the way,
Speaker 4: our our airbnb is the former home of the Wisconsin governors,
Speaker 4: is it really? It's two different Wisconsin governors have lived
Speaker 4: in the house that.
Speaker 5: We're staying in.
Speaker 4: Whoa how about that we splurged a little and got
Speaker 4: something kind of nice.
Speaker 5: Everyone gets their own bedroom.
Speaker 4: Slow down, you all gets your own bed.
Speaker 5: And now everyone gets their own bedroom. We're growing up.
Speaker 5: What an amazing move. We'll be right back. It must
Speaker 5: be pretty.
Speaker 7: TJ.
Speaker 9: Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.
Speaker 5: He'll make them pay.
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 9: Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 5: Now, who is this, Shane? I have no idea?
Speaker 9: Who is George Jones?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 5: Is this George Jones?
Speaker 9: Ear George Jones?
Speaker 5: Me a walk from Wow?
Speaker 4: That's why you could all go to old George Jones
Speaker 4: Milwaukee song.
Speaker 2: There's more Milwaukee songs than I ever thought they were INNY.
Speaker 5: I didn't think they were in either.
Speaker 4: He if I'm nine two eight, twenty two eighty seven
Speaker 4: Wings day here at Chaos Bar and Grill.
Speaker 5: Did you know the baseball season has started? The spring
Speaker 5: training games has started? Yeah? No, there's been two real games?
Speaker 5: Has there been two real games?
Speaker 4: Dodgers and the Cubs have already played two games. The
Speaker 4: Cubs are already owing.
Speaker 5: Two real games. Yes, real games. Gonna be the earliest
Speaker 5: start ever. They do this every year just nobody pays attention.
Speaker 4: They play in Japan Otani when he was on the Angels,
Speaker 4: the Angels play.
Speaker 5: Now he's on the Dodgers. They play, they get these.
Speaker 4: Massive crowds, like massive crowds, and the Dodgers are two
Speaker 4: and zero and the Cubs are owing two already the
Speaker 4: season has already started.
Speaker 6: So as like next week when you get your Reds
Speaker 6: Opening Day and all the games start over here.
Speaker 4: Or is that the games start? The opening day for
Speaker 4: the Reds is next Thursday. Okay, so getting to play
Speaker 4: at Indy by us getting to play in Indianapolis, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna get to go to opening Day, whereas I didn't
Speaker 4: think I would if we made the Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 5: So that's good.
Speaker 2: It's always kind of tricky for you because, yeah, you
Speaker 2: want Kentucky to still be alive in the tournament, yet
Speaker 2: you hate to miss opening Day, which usually kind of
Speaker 2: conflicts with them.
Speaker 4: All Right, we got to talk about Cooper Cooper High
Speaker 4: School here for just a second.
Speaker 5: Wait a minute, somebody say, yes, oh that was her.
Speaker 4: Cooper High School last you may remember, fired their head
Speaker 4: coach because they said he had a bad culture that
Speaker 4: made his players not want to play for him and
Speaker 4: that the whole thing was a bad place, but they
Speaker 4: were still really good and they fired him with like
Speaker 4: four or five weeks left in the season. His wife
Speaker 4: went on Facebook. She complained people it felt like the community.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it felt like the community was
Speaker 4: not happy about it. But then again, I don't live there,
Speaker 4: so maybe there were some people happy. I don't know,
Speaker 4: but there was certainly a controversy about them firing. They
Speaker 4: go to the regional last night was a reasonal championship,
Speaker 4: Cooper wins. They wont, So Cooper is now in the
Speaker 4: sweet sixteen. They'll be coming here to Lexington and the
Speaker 4: crowd it was a full crowd and they were chanting culture,
Speaker 4: culture or something like that. The players and the coach
Speaker 4: were dancing around. So this is now like the story
Speaker 4: of the Sweet sixteen as a coach who has already fired,
Speaker 4: has taken his team to the sweet sixteen and has
Speaker 4: been fired for poor performance even though they are going
Speaker 4: to the sweet sixteen.
Speaker 5: What do you make of that? Drew?
Speaker 6: If I'm not mistakeing, was was he the coach of
Speaker 6: the year in the region two before this?
Speaker 5: Maybe it wasn't.
Speaker 6: But regardless, if the fans and players are cheering culture
Speaker 6: and they've they're moving on. It seems like a terrible
Speaker 6: hire not knowing the specifics behind the scenes or firing
Speaker 6: but not on the pacifics. How do you let go
Speaker 6: a guy that has him such a great season?
Speaker 5: So do you flip it? So do you bring him back?
Speaker 5: I mean do you bring him back? Like wake?
Speaker 4: What does he have to do? Like if he were
Speaker 4: to win the state championship? Would they have to bring
Speaker 4: I mean you have to bring him.
Speaker 2: Back right almost up leaning now, you got to bring
Speaker 2: him back. Now you take that team to the sweet sixteen,
Speaker 2: I mean eighties and coaches we even had it here
Speaker 2: for a couple of years. They don't get along sometimes,
Speaker 2: but yet you still have for them and good to
Speaker 2: win games. Well the coach has done that, he's one
Speaker 2: game going to sweet sixteen. I think you got to
Speaker 2: bring him back.
Speaker 9: Now here's what you do. You bring him back and
Speaker 9: you fire the a D for firing.
Speaker 3: Them the dumbause in this city, that's a good question.
Speaker 5: Can you bring I mean, can the a D bring
Speaker 5: him back? And still no, couldn't be the same ad.
Speaker 6: I don't think so. I saw I wouldn't want to
Speaker 6: work for him. I wouldn't want to come back to him.
Speaker 5: If he let me go.
Speaker 4: See, I don't know if I would either, And chances
Speaker 4: are he'll get another.
Speaker 5: Job after this is over, probably a.
Speaker 4: Good one, but I mean there I think one of
Speaker 4: the great things about Kentucky, and this is true probably everywhere,
Speaker 4: but I see it more Kentucky. There are a lot
Speaker 4: of controversies that don't make the news. For instance, how
Speaker 4: many of you knew that Bria High School, like the students.
Speaker 5: Have walked out today? What's that about? I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just saw. I just got a message the students
Speaker 5: are walking out.
Speaker 4: In Maria, there was apparently some message like ten teachers
Speaker 4: lost their jobs and the superintendent who's retiring took took
Speaker 4: first class fly to whatever like it's fall. But little
Speaker 4: things like that they're a big deal in those communities,
Speaker 4: right like they may seem little every where else, but
Speaker 4: if you live there, that's a big deal. And that's
Speaker 4: kind of happening right now with Cooper.
Speaker 2: That's gotta be the number one story and for the
Speaker 2: whole region. The guy that they ady try to get
Speaker 2: rid of now leads them to the Sweet sixteen. To me,
Speaker 2: that's a big story.
Speaker 5: It's a big story. Now. We have not talked about
Speaker 5: this yet and that's on me. We should have.
Speaker 4: UK women have not only made the tournament, they are
Speaker 4: hosting the tournament. Friday, they play at noon against Liberty.
Speaker 4: Liberty and they and they are at noon. Now I
Speaker 4: would say, are like, go, okay, the first game obviously go,
Speaker 4: but then we would play probably Kansas State on Sunday.
Speaker 4: I really hope if the NCAA has any credibility, they
Speaker 4: can't put those games on at the same time. Like
Speaker 4: the Kentucky's men's game and women's game should not be
Speaker 4: at the same time.
Speaker 5: Or even really close to each other.
Speaker 4: If we're gonna host here, we need to be able
Speaker 4: to have our fans there. The women have suffered from
Speaker 4: the fact they've made them play at the same time
Speaker 4: as the men like three.
Speaker 5: Times this year. They cannot do it in the second
Speaker 5: round of the tournament if that.
Speaker 2: Happened, Do they consider that, like man, the.
Speaker 4: Men's game will be scheduled just because of television.
Speaker 5: Yes, so like the men's television will be on.
Speaker 4: So it's it's gonna be up to the NCAA with
Speaker 4: the women to because Kentucky Kansas state with the women
Speaker 4: will not be a huge TV draw, so they've got
Speaker 4: to make sure they schedule it around so that fans can.
Speaker 5: Go drough to that game.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Friday works out enough. You can watch them at
Speaker 6: noon and then get it geared up for the men's game.
Speaker 6: I hope they don't put them up against each other
Speaker 6: in the second round. You mentioned all these other fan
Speaker 6: bases taken over our bar, evenbody going to Memorial, and
Speaker 6: we could have a fun free party here for that
Speaker 6: group too well, So.
Speaker 4: If you if you come to, if you want to,
Speaker 4: we're gonna show the women's.
Speaker 5: Game here Friday day.
Speaker 4: We'll have all the men men's game as well, but
Speaker 4: we'll have the women's game with sound at noon from
Speaker 4: noon to two, and then all the men's games will
Speaker 4: be on, but the sound will be the women.
Speaker 6: And you know, they haven't been in this spot in
Speaker 6: a long time, but I'm fired up for it. You know,
Speaker 6: Kenny and Georgia have already been to a Final four,
Speaker 6: so they've got some experience. She's still my favorite player
Speaker 6: on campus, including the men's team. I know we're going
Speaker 6: to Milwaukee to follow the men, but I'm just as
Speaker 6: excited to track them too.
Speaker 5: Court Physical Therapy.
Speaker 4: If you need physical therapy, go to I haven't done
Speaker 4: this when yelp, go to court dot com. That's KRT
Speaker 4: dot com. No reason to be in pain. With court
Speaker 4: Physical Therapy over seventy locations around the state, there's one
Speaker 4: near you feel better. No reason to walk around hurt,
Speaker 4: and most insurance companies we'll pay for it. Go to
Speaker 4: court dot com. That's KRT dot com. When we come back,
Speaker 4: we'll preview the games tonight and get ready. We head
Speaker 4: off to Milwaukee at one o'clock.
Speaker 2: Are you packed? I am packed. That's got some dog, dude,
Speaker 2: I need to take care of her dogs out.
Speaker 5: What does this say? I'm gonna walk all over Where
Speaker 5: do you get these shirts? Sure? These don't look official.
Speaker 2: This is like from ninety five that says Kentucky Basketball,
Speaker 2: we just walked all over you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was there. That was their thing.
Speaker 2: That one you so that shirts from nineteen ninety So
Speaker 2: you've kept that.
Speaker 5: Shirt since nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2: I think somebody gave it to me.
Speaker 4: Well, it fits like it probably fit well in nineteen
Speaker 4: ninety five.
Speaker 5: What's on the back? They're walking all there's footprints. OK,
Speaker 5: I get it. We're walking all over.
Speaker 4: Actually, there would be a lot of people that would
Speaker 4: like that shirt road where that reminds me of the
Speaker 4: poem footprints.
Speaker 5: And we'll take a break.
Speaker 4: What was it, Gal said, I was walking and saw
Speaker 4: footprints in the sand and remind me of the poem
Speaker 4: footprints in the sand.
Speaker 5: That was now fairy tweets of all time. We'll take
Speaker 5: a break, right backscaz oh walk it.
Speaker 4: Welcome back, final segment here Kentucky Sports Radio. We take
Speaker 4: off on our trip to Milwaukee. On the way, if
Speaker 4: you have had like good restaurant recommendation, maybe an hour
Speaker 4: short of Chicago, that's probably when we'll be ready to
Speaker 4: eat dinner, all right, yeah, or like because we're going,
Speaker 4: we're gonna try to. We're not going into Chicago, so
Speaker 4: somewhere off the interstate on the way to Milwaukee, if
Speaker 4: you got it, don't tell me that sports bar in Lafia,
Speaker 4: Indiana's y'all always.
Speaker 5: Suggest because it was terrible.
Speaker 4: I mean there were there were people still smoking from
Speaker 4: the eighties in there. I'm not doing that again. Every
Speaker 4: time I drive that way, somebody tells me to eat there,
Speaker 4: and the food was good, but like literally I felt
Speaker 4: like I got lung cancer, just sitting in there for
Speaker 4: thirty for thirty.
Speaker 2: Minutes, you found us a good was it an Indian
Speaker 2: or a tie place in Seattle. We're gonna do one
Speaker 2: of those again while we're in Milwaukee.
Speaker 5: I think it was Drew that found that.
Speaker 9: No, it's good.
Speaker 4: Oh you mean the Indian place? Yeah, No, I Drew
Speaker 4: and I got the food. You let us handle that.
Speaker 4: You just we just need a place on the way
Speaker 4: the way on the way there. If I'm nine to
Speaker 4: twenty two eighty seven, I was saying to Drew, if
Speaker 4: I was in Lexington tomorrow night, I don't know if
Speaker 4: I would go to the Louisville in Tennessee game because
Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to deal with their fans. But I
Speaker 4: would definitely go to that ninety five you toss State
Speaker 4: Ucla game where it's gonna be empty.
Speaker 5: I think it would be awesome to be in there.
Speaker 5: You probably could sit.
Speaker 4: On the front row, because I mean, no one's gonna
Speaker 4: be there for that game you toss State in Ucla.
Speaker 5: But I would definitely go.
Speaker 4: I can't imagine two teams farther away but closer to
Speaker 4: each other that have to come across the country to
Speaker 4: play each other.
Speaker 6: If we weren't going to Milwaukee and I didn't have
Speaker 6: to follow Kentucky, I'd probably just sit there for all
Speaker 6: the games. Honestly, how often does the NSAA tournament come
Speaker 6: up to your backyard? I would have already gone on
Speaker 6: Amazon and got my Crton T shirt overnighted just in
Speaker 6: time to boo Louisville. I would have absolutely cheered on
Speaker 6: the teams playing our rivals.
Speaker 5: And if Louisville wins Saturday.
Speaker 4: If Louisville wins and on Saturday, you could buy a
Speaker 4: ticket to boo Louisville and boo Tennessee in the in
Speaker 4: the same session. I mean you could go cheer Auburn
Speaker 4: and cheer say Ucla and literally boo Louisville and Tennessee
Speaker 4: with one payment.
Speaker 5: Ryan. Of course, I would win a g.
Speaker 2: That's a good afternoon.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 2: You come here first, pregame, go there, boo, the two
Speaker 2: teams come back to the post game, watch us the
Speaker 2: next boom boo.
Speaker 5: That's a great day, boom out of the ring.
Speaker 4: I will say, if you get Auburn, Louisville, Tennessee and
Speaker 4: Ucla in a session, that's a pretty awesome set of teams.
Speaker 5: To be able to pay and watch play one game, right.
Speaker 5: Heck yeah, that's why.
Speaker 6: I know a lot of people that had tickets before
Speaker 6: the draw came out. They just wanted to go to
Speaker 6: up to watch tournament basketball, and that ended up being
Speaker 6: one of the better pods you can get.
Speaker 5: All right, let's go. It's time for DraftKings.
Speaker 4: If you go to DraftKings, it's now Bet five get
Speaker 4: two hundred dollars from Draft Kings. It's available. It is
Speaker 4: March time and nothing's for sure. Upsets, buzzer beaters, but
Speaker 4: DraftKings you can bet them all. Bet five get two
Speaker 4: undred dollars from Draft Kings. The code is KSR, The
Speaker 4: crown is yours KSR.
Speaker 5: Draft Kings.
Speaker 4: If you have a given problem called one hundred Gambler
Speaker 4: eighteen plus Kentucky only, helsber exply new customers only. Both
Speaker 4: expire one hundred and sixty eight hours of trade issues
Speaker 4: for additional terms Responsible Game and Resource DKG, dot CO
Speaker 4: slash audio. I don't know any number, except I can
Speaker 4: tell you that these bonus bets expire one hundred and
Speaker 4: sixty eight hours after issuance. I in my head, no,
Speaker 4: one hundred and six eight hours after issue. Let's make
Speaker 4: our picks for tonight. Mount Saint Mary's. Shannon plays American
Speaker 4: in the first four, Americans a two and a half
Speaker 4: point favorite. Before I tell you our friend Dwayne uh
Speaker 4: his wife is the assistant dean at American.
Speaker 3: If that makes a difference, I'm gonna pick American. I mean,
Speaker 3: why would you not pick American. We're all American, right.
Speaker 4: That's exactly what we all said, we are all Americans.
Speaker 4: So I will pick American to beat Mount Saint Mary's.
Speaker 5: What about you?
Speaker 6: I think I'm gonna go with Mount Saint Mary's because
Speaker 6: they have a player named Xavier Lipscomb, which are two
Speaker 6: tournament teams, and I just found that to be very interesting. So,
Speaker 6: I mean, just because that's the only thing I know
Speaker 6: about them, I'm chearing for Xavier Lipscomb.
Speaker 5: Interally, what it even so? His name Xavier Lipscomb?
Speaker 4: Yes, what other names could a player have that are
Speaker 4: two tournament teams?
Speaker 5: Drake? Drake?
Speaker 4: What's another tournament team that could be a Drake? And
Speaker 4: Lamar could have a little Lamar didn't make the tournament though,
Speaker 4: Robert Morris.
Speaker 5: That's true. That's just one name though.
Speaker 4: Is there another school you could combined with Drake to
Speaker 4: make a name Drake Kentucky.
Speaker 5: Mohan's coming to mind, Troy Troy Drake, Troy Drake. Yeah,
Speaker 5: is there Troy Drake out there? Who you got? Mount
Speaker 5: Saint Mary's are American?
Speaker 2: Just my loyalty to mister d Wayne. I'm going with American.
Speaker 5: Xavier in Texas.
Speaker 4: This is a game where we might end up playing
Speaker 4: the winner potentially in round two. Xavier is a three
Speaker 4: and a half point favored against the SEC. Does the
Speaker 4: SEC come out strong and show that it deserved fourteen bids?
Speaker 5: What do you got? I think so?
Speaker 6: I think Trey John's gonna be a difference maker. They
Speaker 6: finished slightly strong. I think they won three out of
Speaker 6: four or something in the year. So I'll go with
Speaker 6: Texas even though they're getting points.
Speaker 2: I mentioned this earlier. I've got Xavier, dave I McKnight Kentucky,
Speaker 2: mister basketball. He's like their best player. So I'm going
Speaker 2: Xavier to win this game tonight.
Speaker 4: I think these teams are pretty much even if the game.
Speaker 4: If the teams are even and you're giving me three
Speaker 4: and a half points, I'll take the three and a
Speaker 4: half points and I'll take Texas.
Speaker 3: What about you shan, Yeah, we're gonna put fourteen teams
Speaker 3: in for the conference.
Speaker 9: You gotta have some wins.
Speaker 3: Can't make us look bad Texas, So I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: with Texas tonight.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people now making the debate. Is
Speaker 4: Rick Patino the greatest coach of all time? I think
Speaker 4: the answer to that is no. I think the greatest
Speaker 4: two are in some order Skrzyzewski and wouldn't. But would
Speaker 4: you put Patino in what I call group two? Group
Speaker 4: two to me is like Dean Smith, Bobby Knight eightolf
Speaker 4: for up, maybe Roy Williams, but definitely Dean Smith eightolf
Speaker 4: for up and Bobby Knight. Would you put Rick Patino
Speaker 4: in group two?
Speaker 5: Right there? Just to give just to give you the numbers.
Speaker 4: He's gonna take his sixth team to the NCAA Tournament,
Speaker 4: first coach to ever do that. If they makes the
Speaker 4: Sweet sixteen, he'll be the fifth team he's taken the
Speaker 4: Sweet sixteen. No coach has ever done that. He's taken
Speaker 4: three teams to Final four, No coach has ever done that.
Speaker 4: So would you put Rick Patino as one of the
Speaker 4: six best coaches of all time?
Speaker 2: I would just even if Saint John's doesn't make it
Speaker 2: to the final four. I still think he deserves it.
Speaker 2: He's in that group.
Speaker 6: Yeah, without hesitation. I mean he even took Iona to
Speaker 6: the tournament twice in two years. There's a graphic going
Speaker 6: around that shows the record at every school when he
Speaker 6: took over, and then the record two years later, and
Speaker 6: it's pretty amazing the turnaround. He's done it every single job.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's what in there, that's what makes it
Speaker 3: so impressive. I mean, woodn't in Tchouzshwsky did it all
Speaker 3: at one school. Patino has done it everywhere he's gone.
Speaker 3: And if he's stayed at Kentucky, you know telling how
Speaker 3: many championships he would have had.
Speaker 4: Look, I've been one of Rick's harshest critics, but just
Speaker 4: break down his career, all right, goes to Providence, they
Speaker 4: were never good before and they've never been good since,
Speaker 4: and he.
Speaker 5: Takes him to the final four.
Speaker 4: Yep, people forget that with the Knicks, he actually had success,
Speaker 4: like they were good. He left, comes to Kentucky. We
Speaker 4: were at the lowest moment in our program's history. Scholarship restrictions,
Speaker 4: no players, two years, no television.
Speaker 5: Think about that.
Speaker 4: Two years, no television, and he ends up three years
Speaker 4: later putting this in maybe the greatest college basketball game
Speaker 4: of all time, which we almost beat, maybe one of
Speaker 4: the best college basketball teams of all time, ends up
Speaker 4: winning a national title.
Speaker 5: It's runner up the next year Louisville.
Speaker 4: Right, Louisville was I mean, we loved Denny Crumble was
Speaker 4: a legend, but he had it had fallen apart at
Speaker 4: the end. Takes him from nothing, wins the national championships. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there were prostitutes and other things, but you know what,
Speaker 4: he still he still went and won the national championship. Dude,
Speaker 4: coaches in Greece. He goes all the way across the world,
Speaker 4: coaches in a country that he can't even speak the language,
Speaker 4: and they win the title as well. And then he
Speaker 4: goes to Iona that hadn't been to the tournament in
Speaker 4: twenty five years. First year he gets there, they lose
Speaker 4: in the championship. Next two years they go to the tournament,
Speaker 4: and now Saint John's, which hadn't won the Big East
Speaker 4: in thirty years. In his second year, he wins the
Speaker 4: regular season and the conference championship. That's amazing. The only
Speaker 4: place he failed was with the Celtics. Everywhere else he
Speaker 4: went he was successful except the sum.
Speaker 2: What he's done here with with Saint John's has made
Speaker 2: them relevant again. They haven't been good in what twenty
Speaker 2: five years or so. He's got them now where they are.
Speaker 2: They got to be a dark horse to win it all.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're really, really good. They do
Speaker 2: the one thing you gotta do to win championships, and
Speaker 2: they play great defense, but.
Speaker 5: They don't shoot, so I don't think they're gonna win
Speaker 5: the title.
Speaker 2: But until they hit like thirteen in rowd the other
Speaker 2: in the championship game, did they Yeah?
Speaker 4: I just he he may not be like he may
Speaker 4: not be a great dude, but again, when you're talking
Speaker 4: about who's the best, like, that's really not I mean,
Speaker 4: Barry Bond's the best hitter.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying he's a great dude, but it doesn't make.
Speaker 4: Him not a great hitter. I don't know how you
Speaker 4: can't say it. And I think what he's done at
Speaker 4: Saint John's. He's seventy one years old, and the rules,
Speaker 4: the rules of basketball have completely changed. Like Tony Bennett,
Speaker 4: Jay Wright, Mike Krzyzewski, Jim laher Naga, all these dudes
Speaker 4: have failed because they're like, I can't handle this change
Speaker 4: and rip Patino has not only handled it, he's excelled
Speaker 4: at it.
Speaker 5: That's amazing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's several examples of coaches that couldn't adapt. I
Speaker 6: think there's some right now where learning aren't able to adapt.
Speaker 6: Some big names I think are gonna just keep fizzling out.
Speaker 6: We might have just had one recently, but Patino changed
Speaker 6: the rules on I'm throwing a three point line, throwing
Speaker 6: anil whatever. He's found a way to make it work
Speaker 6: everywhere he's been.
Speaker 4: He was the first coach to really embrace shooting the
Speaker 4: three at the college level, and he did that here.
Speaker 5: Now everybody does it.
Speaker 4: He was the first coach to press and for a
Speaker 4: while it worked amazingly. Now it's kind of falling out
Speaker 4: of favor, but he was the first one to do it.
Speaker 4: And now he's not the first person to do nil,
Speaker 4: but he's excelling at it. And he's also now the
Speaker 4: first coach to go I ain't recruiting high school guys,
Speaker 4: what's the point. I'm just gonna go get transfers. I
Speaker 4: hate to admit it, but he's not number one or two.
Speaker 4: That's Shryzchevskier would. But Shannon makes a good point. Ryan,
Speaker 4: he's had to do it at five different schools.
Speaker 2: And they're gonna be probably better even next year. You know,
Speaker 2: now that he's got this success under his belt, he's
Speaker 2: doing it with these guys he just got. Now they've
Speaker 2: got success, he can back it up, go out and
Speaker 2: be even better next year.
Speaker 4: And I was at that game. I was at his
Speaker 4: first game. I've told this before, but I was his
Speaker 4: first game at Saint John's. I just happened to be
Speaker 4: in New York City. I went out to Queen's and
Speaker 4: went to the game, and when I walked in, the
Speaker 4: first five rows of my section were all dudes that
Speaker 4: look like they could be extras in the Sopranos. They
Speaker 4: were all in suits and they had to slick back hair.
Speaker 4: And I said to myself, this dude's gonna win here
Speaker 4: like he has. He basically has the botty boom in
Speaker 4: the first five.
Speaker 5: Rows of this arena. They're gonna win. And he's ended
Speaker 5: up doing Ryan's right. They're gonna keep winning.
Speaker 6: That area is so fully yeah, so full of talent,
Speaker 6: But there hadn't been the teams to keep him home. Now,
Speaker 6: he can go to these kids, say you want to
Speaker 6: play in a sold out garden and in regular season games,
Speaker 6: and they also have an endless budget up there. I
Speaker 6: think he's just gonna keep making them even better.
Speaker 4: All right, So tomorrow we will be doing the show
Speaker 4: from Milwaukee. Watch on social media. We're gonna be posting
Speaker 4: content throughout our trip. Our boss has said, we're going
Speaker 4: to use this to show how our other shows how
Speaker 4: you do social media on a road trips.
