No, the hedges. 22 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:06,279 Speaker 1: Georgia. 23 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 5: We own them, well, they won the last fifteen in 24 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 5: a row. Yeah, but we own them condo. Okay, I 25 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 5: think we own them. Covering that has gone well. We 26 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 5: have been a good covering team. So eat that dogs, 27 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 5: eat it dogs, it's time to cover. 28 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: The script is awful too, because at this early morning 29 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: game on a Saturday, you're playing a Georgia team that 30 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 2: just lost Alabama. And if you get embarrassed today, there's 31 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: a bye next week when Midnight Madness starts. It's just horrible, 32 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: a horrible script for the UK football program. 33 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 4: Well, we're gonna we're gonna preview the game. I mean, 34 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 4: I think breaking down the. 35 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: X's and o's, that's our specialty. 36 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 4: Well, I also just think it's going to lead to 37 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 4: a result of we don't have a lot of matchups 38 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 4: in our favor today. 39 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: I think we maybe have a better punter. I did 40 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: my homework. 41 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 4: I can share some stats throughout the Do you do 42 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 4: you think there's any position we have a we have 43 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 4: a better situation. 44 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: Unlikely outside of specialty. 45 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 4: I think we've got a better putter. This is like 46 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 4: I would say, a better kicker. He's not missed in 47 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 4: his career. Okay, so this is like classic UK football. Well, 48 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 4: they got a good putter. By the way, this week 49 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 4: was very much taking up for Stoops. He was like, 50 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 4: I hope Kentucky fans appreciate what they have. It kind 51 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 4: of felt like to me when Cali Perry used to 52 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 4: say how good Mark Fox was. Do you think that 53 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 4: there was and by the way, he's now on the staff, Yeah, 54 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 4: do you think there was ever a little bit of that? 55 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: Yes, that's a great comparison because every time we played Georgia. 56 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: Here Kyle talking about they got a great coat down there. 57 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: He's one of the best thing in the game of 58 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: the game right now, and Kirby's trying to spin it 59 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: with the same thing with because their buddies, you know, 60 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: they they play golf together, their buddies. 61 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. 62 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 4: And I mean if you if Kirby only watched Kentucky 63 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 4: play one game a year, we played pretty well. 64 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: Again, that's true. 65 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 4: So if you if you only watched us play against Georgia, 66 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 4: you might be like, it's pretty impressive, you know, cover streak. 67 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they've been one of the best teams 68 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: in college football in the last five years, but Kentucky's 69 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: played him close every time. But once I think it's 70 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, we gave him. 71 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 4: The best game that they got the year they were dominant, 72 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 4: won the national anybody, Yeah, and then last year. But 73 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 4: but well, we'll talk about today. I think the thing 74 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 4: a five nine twenty two eighty seven. We didn't take 75 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 4: any calls yesterday because it was my first day back. 76 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 4: We will take some, uh today because we got an hour. 77 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 4: I'll be on for the postgame show whatever time that 78 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 4: ends with Billy.

I don't really 158 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 4: understand the timing of that now, nine ten months after 159 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 4: it happens. So people have asked me all the adult 160 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 4: night since that last night, is that true? And here's 161 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 4: my answer to that. No, well yes, but no, I 162 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 4: mean yes. Do I think Mark Stoops and Mitch Bardart 163 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 4: had a conversation about their future? Yes, it was put 164 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 4: to me, and I think this is the correct way 165 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 4: to put it that Mark Stoops basically said, look, if 166 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 4: you don't want me to be here, you can buy 167 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 4: me out. If you want to fire me, essentially, you 168 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 4: can buy me out. It wasn't like a angry thing. 169 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 4: It was in the conversation. Mark Stoops is different than 170 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 4: say John cal Perry was in that he is stubborn 171 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 4: in his own way, but like he feels the criticism rue, 172 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like he kind of gets 173 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 4: he has a sense of the pulse of the fan base. 174 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 4: Do you agree with that? He is not delusional about 175 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 4: what fans think. And I think he knew at the 176 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 4: end of last year people were upset and he was 177 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 4: just like, look, if you don't think this is going 178 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 4: to work, I'll help you come to a resolution. And 179 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 4: I think that resolution was Mark wanted, if not all 180 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 4: of his money, the vast majority of money. I don't 181 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 4: think it was a perfect I know he didn't go 182 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 4: to him and say I want out. He basically said, 183 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 4: if you don't want me here, we can figure out 184 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 4: a path to me not being here. But I'd like 185 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 4: but then Stoops wanted to be here. So that's what 186 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 4: it is. That's been out for a long time. I mean, 187 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 4: if you if you've if you've read, I mean, we've 188 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 4: talked about it on KSR in a in maybe not 189 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 4: that direct way, but that that's so that's how I 190 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 4: believe the whole thing occurred. I do not believe Stoop 191 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 4: said I want to leave by me out. I mean, 192 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 4: I'm almost certainty. I mean, I am certain he didn't 193 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 4: say that. Is that what you think? 194 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know that. I can't remember exact timeline 195 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: of Tennessee game, whatever game, but I know at one 196 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: point someone had told me that Stoops would listen and 197 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: if Barnhart could get close to the buyout. But then 198 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: like Barnhart couldn't even get close to the buy out, 199 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: and that was like the extent of the conversation. So 200 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: maybe Stoops would have taken a. 201 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 4: Million and went to him and said I want to go, 202 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 4: not directly like that. 203 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: Is what I remember, is just that Stoops would be 204 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,239 Speaker 1: willing to take a little bit lesser of that insane 205 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: buyout if they could meet somewhere. But they were just 206 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: so far apart at the beginning of the conversation when 207 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: he didn't really have a conversation. 208 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: You know, I worked with color for twelve years. He 209 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 2: would not put that out there unless he was one 210 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 2: hundred percent certain of his sources. I mean, he just wouldn't. 211 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: He's a he's a really good reporter, so I think 212 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: there's a lot of truth in it, and I kind 213 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 2: of agree with Drew. I think once they got the 214 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: they started negotiating, they realized how far apart they were, 215 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 2: did everything just stop right there? 216 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 4: So, so you do think that he would that Stoops 217 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 4: went to Bitch Barnhart and said I want to leave. 218 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 2: I think they had that conversation. 219 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 4: But that there's a difference between having the conversation, which 220 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 4: I think there's actually no disagreement from people having the conversation. Yeah, 221 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 4: and that Stoops wanted to leave. I think they wanted 222 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 4: to leave. I don't think that's true. But let's say, 223 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 4: if you think that's true, that's a strong statement. 224 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: Do you know or are you no? 225 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. I just okay, I trust Cutlers reporting. 226 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 2: I don't think I said, I don't think he put 227 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 2: it out the unless he had it from one hundred percent. 228 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: I don't know who when you. 229 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 2: Put stuff out, I trust you one hundred percent. 230 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: But we're putting different things out. 231 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like they probably just had 232 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: a conversation, they talked about a buyout. It was they 233 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 2: were too far apart and the talk stopped right there. 234 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 4: Well, I would agree with all of those sentences, except 235 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 4: I don't agree with the sentence, and I'm very confident 236 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 4: I don't agree with the sentence that Mark Stoops wanted out. 237 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: I think Mark. 238 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 4: Stoops was like, if you want to fire me, don't 239 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 4: let it be that it's just the money. If you 240 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 4: want me out, we'll we'll we can talk about a way. 241 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 4: And then I think we all agreed that that number 242 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 4: was very I mean, the reality is Mark is not 243 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 4: going to take a significant amount less than what he's owed. 244 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: He's just not. 245 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 4: And my question, and even know at the end of 246 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 4: the year we may all agree a party needs to happen. 247 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 4: I'd like to know how many people out there would 248 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 4: take I used to say this about cow Who's going 249 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 4: Who out there has owed forty million, fifty million dollars 250 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 4: and they'll say, yeah, I just give you know, I 251 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 4: don't need it. 252 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: I said this on Thursday Show.

Why should he?

If you want me out, 348 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: buy me out. 349 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: But that's what I said. 350 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's what I think. 351 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: Things happen. That's different than what That's different than what 352 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: he say. 353 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: Things in quotes I think includes what stuff what you said, 354 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 2: and stuff what Alan said. 355 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 4: But Alan said, Alan said he went to him and said, 356 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 4: I want to leave. 357 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 2: I think that that's different. I think that came up 358 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 2: in the conversation. It was one of those things. 359 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: It's not Alan said. 360 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 4: He went to him to say that that's not the 361 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 4: same as it came up in a conversation. 362 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 2: I think that was one of the things in the conversation. 363 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 2: It was a thing. 364 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: This is making my head hurt. Alarm dot cop Alarm 365 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: dot com. 366 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 2: Baby, my dogs love their doggy toys, by the way, 367 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 2: love them. 368 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: God, someone profited from this, a bag of doggy treats. 369 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 4: The one person that got something out of a person. 370 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 4: Oh if I'm not twenty seven. You were saying during 371 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 4: the break, the worst scenario today is exactly what's gonna happen, 372 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 4: which is like we're gonna lose by like eleven, and 373 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,239 Speaker 4: it be moderately competitive, but with no chance for us 374 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 4: ever to win. 375 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 7: Yeah. 376 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: Ryan and I were talking about something. He's like, yeah, 377 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: for after a blowout today. I was like, no, I'm 378 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 1: fully prepared this. I am conditioned to watch them keep 379 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: it within a touchdown today. I'm not gonna predict that, 380 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: but that's kind of what Mark Soups would do in 381 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: this scenario. I mean, last year, people were very upset 382 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: before the Old Miss game. He goes down there and 383 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: throws a bomb on fourth down and wins it. You know, 384 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,719 Speaker 1: I don't think the gonna win today. But if they 385 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: go out there and you know, put up a fight 386 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: in they're in it late in the game, won't. 387 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 4: Be the least that would be exactly what You're exactly right, 388 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 4: that would be exactly what they would do. 389 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: I feel like this is a good pregame show. 390 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 4: It's early in the warning and it's a game that 391 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 4: nobody wants to wants to watch, so I feel like 392 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 4: it's not going to be one of the most listened 393 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 4: to shows. But I think those first twenty minutes were 394 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 4: really funny and freik people are not going to get 395 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 4: to hear it. 396 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: But that's all right. Let's go to Jerry. What's up? Jerry? 397 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 8: Hey, guys. First off, what you're talking about with the 398 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 8: stoops in the about and although I will say is 399 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 8: what Ray croct the founder of McDonald's told the McDonald's 400 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 8: brothers contracts like hearts, they may to be broken. So 401 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 8: we'll see what happens with that as far as the game. 402 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 4: But now, when you're Jimmy Sexton and not when your Mark, 403 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 4: I mean, like, remember Jimmy Sexton was Jimbo Fisher's Jimbo 404 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 4: Fisher's agent, and Jimbo Fisher ended up getting his money. 405 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: They fired him. Yeah, he got his money. 406 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 8: Wouldn't he in his contract Tennessee. 407 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 4: But his contract was not as bad as ours. Even 408 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 4: though his contract is like eighty million, it was paid out. 409 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 4: He's still being paid. It was paid out over the 410 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 4: course of a number of years. Mark's contract is you 411 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 4: have to pay me within fourteen days of being fired. 412 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 8: I said, I, you know, we'll see what. I'm not 413 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 8: saying they're gonna be able to fire him. I'm just 414 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 8: saying we're looking at three wins if that happened. 415 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 1: I don't think he disagrees with that, although I might. 416 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 8: Say four it if that happens, you know, they've got 417 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 8: to get people in that stadium next year and with 418 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 8: that schedule, and we'll see. I don't know, we'll see it. 419 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 8: But as far as the game today goes, I'm hoping 420 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 8: that they keep it respectable. Like you guys are saying, 421 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 8: but say about these next three games that all three 422 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 8: of these teams have offenses that can hang sixty on you, 423 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 8: and they all have defenses that can shut down our offense. 424 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 8: The thing about our defenses, and that's what word me 425 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 8: calling of the season, is it they might be pretty 426 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 8: good if they were out and as the offense doing 427 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 8: nothing but three and out. 428 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: No, you're right. 429 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 4: I appreciate the call, Jerry. I think our defense is okay, 430 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 4: but you can't have them out there the whole game. 431 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 4: They'll just they're gonna end up breaking. You can't help it. 432 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they've got some things they need to fix, 433 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: they have some holes, but overall, I'd say they're even 434 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: a good defense. Especially the defensive line has been awesome. 435 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: Last week you had Leonora Sellers dead to rights a 436 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: couple of times, and he just showed why he's an 437 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: NFL talent. He broke out of tackles, turned it to 438 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: a game. But otherwise the front's been really good and 439 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: I think they're going to keep them in it. But 440 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you go back to even the home games here, 441 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: the defense sets the offense up in great spots and 442 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: still don't do much with it. So they can only 443 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: do so much. By the way KSR Parlay is up. 444 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, if you want to get there, A thousand people 445 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 4: have met it, including us, so so get ready.

Some good news. It is basketball, but it's 522 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 4: good news. Tyron Stokes number one player in America. We 523 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 4: the last time we got the number one player in 524 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 4: America a Kentucky was what Carl Town's sco scal that's 525 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 4: always forget that scale is number one. Well, Tyron Stokes 526 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 4: number one player in America. And last night a lot 527 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 4: of the recruiting, uh you know, Benny's all the people 528 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 4: that follow it put in picks for Tyron Stokes to 529 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 4: Kentucky last night. Yeah, he signed with Nike yesterday, huh, 530 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,239 Speaker 4: which is a good sign. There was a time he 531 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 4: was thought to definitely be going to Louisville, and then 532 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 4: there was a time that I mean, there have been 533 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 4: other schools Organs on EAM there others, but lots of 534 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 4: picks for Kentucky. It would be massive for Mark Pope 535 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 4: to get the number one player in the country when 536 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 4: he still had I mean, he's gotten a lot of 537 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 4: great players, but he hadn't gotten that elite non Kentucky recruit. 538 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 4: This one would be just a game changer, right, Yeah, 539 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 4: And there's so many good angles to this. 540 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: I mean, Louisville thought they had him for a long time. 541 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: Looking like with the Nike update, that's probably gonna push 542 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 1: them and anyone else out of the picture. That's not 543 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: a Nike School and then just you know, not all 544 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: number one players are the same. He's one of those 545 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: true number ones, one of those dudes that don't come 546 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: around very often. Like you know, no one's a surefire thing, 547 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: but he's pretty dang close to being a guy that 548 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: you know is gonna be a one and done and 549 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: pan out for you right away. So hopefully they get 550 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: it done and Pope could answer a lot of questions 551 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: and concerns about being able to recruit top guys. 552 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 4: We'll wait and see, but that's some good news from 553 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 4: last night. That would be just be massive because he's 554 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 4: a real deal. I look into the camera and say, 555 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 4: you mark this down. This kid ends up at Kentucky, 556 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 4: he will be a superstar superstar. If he goes to 557 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 4: organ see in the draft, we won't even know you played. 558 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 4: But if he comes to Kentucky, superstar. 559 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: Better Oregon than the alternatives cards. 560 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 4: Family, Listen, I wanted to come here as long as 561 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 4: you didn't go to Louisville because the Louisville fans are 562 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 4: gonna be really sad if he doesn't go, and that 563 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 4: will be entertaining. All right, let's go to Matt. What's up, Matt? 564 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 8: Oh, what's up, guys. 565 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 7: I'm sitting out here in my garden barefooted, been meditating, 566 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 7: and I have a strong feeling the Cats are going 567 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 7: to do something amazing today. Oh really, And I gotta 568 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 7: know I do. I've got a strong feeling. I mean, 569 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 7: our defense looks really good. Their defense is kind of weak, 570 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 7: you know, in the in the backfield, and and their 571 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 7: linebackers are not really that strong. As long as we 572 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 7: don't turn the ball over, I feel like the Cat's. 573 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big thing, all right. I like it. 574 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 4: Matt, appreciate the call. I like your positive energy. We've 575 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 4: got the meditation going. 576 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: To his point, it is weird you think of Georgia 577 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: just being a dominant defense and they have the roster, 578 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: but they've only had five sacks this season. They're like 579 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: towards the bottom of the country in sacks and getting 580 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: pressure on quarterbacks. I mean, Alabama's quarterback had a clean 581 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: pocket all day. So it's crazy to say that about Georgia. 582 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 1: But Bowie, yeah, I mean they've. 583 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 4: Had thirteen guys go in the top three picks in 584 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,479 Speaker 4: the last or top three rounds in the last three 585 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 4: years off their defense. This that ain't happening with this group. 586 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 4: They've got one or two guys, but this is not 587 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 4: the defense that they've had the last few years. Let's 588 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 4: go to another mat. What's up matt. 589 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 10: Hey, morning, guys. 590 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 11: You know, kind of just a big picture question. It 591 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 11: seems like for a long time, and I'm not from 592 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 11: Kentucky but sort of watching it from afar, that Kentucky 593 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 11: football has sort of been a low investment, low return proposition. 594 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 11: They didn't win a lot, but also it was accessible 595 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 11: for fans. Parking was good, and probably it didn't cost 596 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 11: as much to go to Kentucky football as did other 597 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 11: SEC schools if. 598 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 4: We're being honest, certainly that was definitely true until a 599 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 4: decade ago. For sure, Like until a decade ago. I 600 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 4: think that would be a perfect analysis of it. 601 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 11: So this is so so for most of the past decade, 602 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 11: the you know, they ratchet up the requirement from the fans, 603 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 11: but it was met with winning. And now the sort 604 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 11: of the bottom is falling off of that second half 605 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 11: of that equation, And and and is there anything the 606 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 11: athletic department can do other than lower the prices and 607 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 11: basically charge people what they're getting, which we know they're 608 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 11: not gonna do that can sort. 609 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: Of get the fan base back on great question. 610 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 4: I think that's that's it. And sometimes it takes and 611 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 4: I appreciate the call, Matt. It takes an outsider to 612 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 4: note that this was my worry. I think I said 613 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,479 Speaker 4: this Ryan a decade ago when they went into the 614 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 4: push of Okay, now we're winning. Now we can start 615 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 4: doing stuff right now. We can get rid of the 616 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 4: parking right now, we can start renovating, especially the luxury suites, 617 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 4: like now, we can start doing all these things. As 618 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 4: soon as they did that, I said, you know, all 619 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 4: those things are fine, but you better hope you keep winning, 620 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 4: because if you're gonna start treating this program not like 621 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 4: the fans sort of love affair that it was when 622 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 4: we stunk, you can do that, but then you have 623 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 4: to win. Because when you stop winning and then it's 624 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 4: not affordable and it's not accessible, and you stop having 625 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 4: fan and Fan Day, and you stop doing the Spring Game, 626 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 4: you stop doing the women's clinic, and you stop having 627 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 4: any connection with the fans, well you better win. It's 628 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 4: like people will go to their mom and pop restaurant 629 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 4: because they like mom and pop, and if they go 630 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 4: one time, the food's not great. They still like mom 631 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 4: and pop. But if you're McDonald's, you better be good 632 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 4: because there's no connection to those people. 633 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: You better be good. 634 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 4: And I think we have moved from mom and pop 635 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 4: Kentucky football to I wouldn't say we're McDonald's. 636 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: Were like Long John's, the new Long John's, trying to 637 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: be good. Well, you better be good. Do you agree 638 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: with that? 639 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. So u K took away some 640 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 2: of the basic elements that these loyal, diehard football fans 641 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 2: that have been coming to games when we for years 642 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: and years and years, and those fans have not forgiven 643 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 2: them you talked about that took away from their tailgate areas, 644 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 2: rearranged their seat, took them to their seats away they've 645 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 2: except with the same people for ten fifteen years. They 646 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 2: took that away. I think those folks have not fully 647 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 2: come back yet because they don't feel appreciated. 648 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 4: To the extent they did come back, it was because 649 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 4: they were winning. Because they were winning. Now when you lose, 650 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 4: well then that's a harder case. 651 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. And I know sometimes I know for a fact 652 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: they play this up as you know radio, those guys 653 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: whining again. But we just had yesterday and his name 654 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: escapes me. But a listener came up during a break. 655 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: What do you say, I'm like a twenty two year 656 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: season ticket holders like I think I'm out Like those 657 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: are real people that have been doing this for a 658 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: long time. I love the people at UK, A lot 659 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: of them. 660 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 4: The same people have been here since we started, and 661 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 4: I love them and they're nice people like the people 662 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 4: that work at UK and athletics are almost universally kind, 663 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 4: sweet people. I don't want to listen to anybody involved 664 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 4: in athletics tell me y'all are whining too much because 665 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 4: we are more connected to the fans than the administration. 666 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 4: It's just the case, you know. I will listen to 667 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 4: Mitch Barnhart or anyone in athletics say Matt, you don't 668 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 4: understand this economic reality or this, and I will listen 669 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 4: to it and I will incorporate it into my opinions 670 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 4: because they do know more about that stuff than I do. 671 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 4: But you cannot tell me what the fans think. And 672 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 4: you think you know better because you all don't interact 673 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,239 Speaker 4: with the fans. R Mitch Barnhart has no interaction with 674 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 4: the small fan. He has interaction with boosters. That's just 675 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 4: the nature of the job. 676 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: But he's not. I mean, we had one hundred. 677 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 4: And fifty people at Shady Races, thirty of them came 678 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 4: up to talk about UK football. When's the last time 679 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 4: you think Mitch Bellnhardt has taken thirty random citizens of 680 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 4: Louisville and talked to them that didn't pay money to 681 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 4: be in a building with him. 682 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: Can't name it, Tom, I'm just being honest. 683 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 4: He might have been there for the UK Alumni Club, 684 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 4: but that ticket costs what one hundred bucks to get 685 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 4: in or one hundred and fifty to go to that differ. 686 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 4: These are just thirty fans that could come from any 687 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 4: walk of life. The only common nominator they have is 688 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 4: a radio show, and we hear from them and they don't. 689 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 4: And so like I do think we have a sense 690 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 4: of the fans, and the fans are out. 691 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: You were standing there when that guy was like I've 692 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: had tay, I think he said twenty two years the fans. 693 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. 694 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 4: And so it's up to you if you want to 695 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 4: fix it. But I can tell you the one thing 696 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 4: that will not fix it is denying. There's a problem right, right. 697 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 2: And They totally won't accept the fact that this little 698 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 2: things like the spring game or the women's clinic. That 699 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 2: means a lot of fans. 700 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,719 Speaker 4: Clear they haven't had a women's clinic Apparently in six years. 701 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 4: Two different women were like, I used to go That's 702 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 4: where I learned to care about the play. 703 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 2: That's exactly right. 704 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: Their exact word yesterday was, we don't feel a connection 705 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: to these players at all. 706 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 4: That's You've got to fix that, and denying it is 707 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 4: the worst way to fix it. Mark Pope, one of 708 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 4: the things he did great here is when he got here, 709 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 4: he knew we had to win, but he also realized 710 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 4: there are little day to day things that matter, so 711 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 4: that if you lose. Our basketball team lost in the 712 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 4: sweet sixteen last year to Tennessee. Do you ever hear 713 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 4: anybody bring that up. 714 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 2: No, you really don't. 715 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 4: If you had told me we'd lose in the tournament 716 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 4: to Tennessee and everybody be okay with it. 717 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: You know. Part of the reason they're okay with it 718 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: because they really like Mark Poe. 719 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's gone the other way now, and you gotta 720 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 4: fix it. 721 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: Let's go to land what's up, Landed? 722 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 6: What's up? 723 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 10: Matt uh me and my dad here were actually headed 724 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 10: to the Athens, Georgia for the game today. This is 725 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 10: the first time I can say in a long time 726 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 10: that we have our Kentucky gear on and when the 727 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 10: Georgia fans says something to us or bark something to us, 728 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 10: we have nothing to say back. I mean, they beat 729 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 10: us in Athens last year in basketball and football team 730 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 10: not much hope this year. Normally people are kind of 731 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 10: scared a little bit. But that'll bring me. That'll bring 732 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 10: me to my question. If Mark Steuch was to get fired, 733 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 10: what's your top three top three coaches that we might 734 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 10: go get well. 735 00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,479 Speaker 1: I mean that's a whole you know. I appreciate the call. 736 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 4: I don't like doing that when people are still here, 737 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 4: and I don't think firing is happening yet. With that said, 738 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 4: the reality is Kentucky will initially try to get John 739 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 4: some wrong. I think there was a time that Brad 740 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 4: White would have been one of the contenders. I think 741 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 4: if you end up in a situation where you feel 742 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 4: like you have to let Mark Stops go, then Brad 743 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 4: White's not gonna be a contender at that point. And 744 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 4: then if that doesn't work out, you're just it's gonna 745 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 4: end up. It'll probably be somebody like Mark Stoops said, 746 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 4: we don't think about it, and we can sit here 747 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 4: and talk about all the big names you want, but 748 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 4: the reality is it'll probably be. 749 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: And honestly, it probably should be. 750 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 4: I can't think of a name out there that you 751 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 4: would go, yeah, go get that guy. 752 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: Because I like will Stein at Oregon. He's in my 753 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: summer he'd be great. 754 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 4: But to be fair, the reason we know will Stein 755 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 4: is because he played at Louisville. Right, That's why we 756 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 4: know him. There are other will Stein's out there we 757 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,439 Speaker 4: just might not know because we you know what I mean, 758 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 4: There's there could be another dude like will Stein at 759 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 4: a school. We just don't know his name because he 760 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 4: didn't play at Louisville. 761 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 1: Well, I put him on the summer raw thing because 762 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: because he went here. Well, no, will Stein's dad would hear, 763 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: and people like he has family here. There's a word 764 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: that he wants to live in. Like I'm saying, those 765 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 1: are two coaches that actually want to. 766 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 4: But I'm saying to you, like, let's say, for whatever 767 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 4: reason you didn't get will Stein, there's another will Stein 768 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 4: out there. He just has no connection to Lexington, like 769 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 4: Memphis may end up in the playoffs. I don't know 770 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 4: who their who their coach is, right, but that might 771 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 4: he might be great because we don't I just don't 772 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 4: know who he is. Who's winning at South Florida right now? 773 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 4: You know who's that. 774 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: I don't know the goky Goku whatever his name is. 775 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 6: Me. 776 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 4: I just I don't know who they are, so so 777 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 4: to pick who it is. I didn't know who Mark 778 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 4: Stoops was and he ended up being a great hire right, 779 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 4: So uh, I think you just have to see how 780 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 4: it plays it. 781 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: I just think those two are unique because they connection 782 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: to Lexington. 783 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 12: Yeah, go ahead, Reese, Hey, Matt, My question is kind 784 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 12: of on the buyout thing. So last year the conversation 785 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 12: was kind of it's not worth having because of the buyout? 786 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 12: Is it a change of opinion on your end? Or 787 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 12: is it a change of circumstances on u K? 788 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 10: And that now it is worth having. 789 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 4: It's work because things are worse than I thought they were. 790 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 4: I expected this could go bad, but I didn't expect 791 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 4: you would get You know, towards the end of cal 792 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 4: there was still a loud minority of people who really 793 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 4: wanted Cal here right, I mean, you know, I believe me, 794 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 4: just could check my messages for two years, like there 795 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 4: was a loud minority, and there were there were a 796 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 4: loud minority of people who were very important to the program, 797 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 4: whether it be Boosters or that that still wanted him here, 798 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,439 Speaker 4: and then right at the end that number went down 799 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 4: quite a bit. 800 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:44,439 Speaker 6: Right. 801 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: Now, here's the problem. 802 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 4: I don't know who the people are that are like, 803 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 4: who is the who are the people who want stoops? 804 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: I don't know. 805 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 4: And even the boosters who were his close friends, they 806 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 4: still love him, they wouldn't call for him to leave, 807 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 4: but I don't think they're really rhyme to put up 808 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 4: the fight they were a year or two ago. 809 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 2: And it seems like the feeling has gone from we 810 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 2: got to get make a change.

Is that what you want? 825 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 4: What if you replace Mark Stoops, Brad White becomes a coach, 826 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 4: we beat Texas, we beat Auburn, and Bandy bring him in? 827 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: Exactly what do you want to do that? 828 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 2: He wouldn't be the worst choice. 829 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: I guess no. 830 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,800 Speaker 4: But do you think that You think the ticket sales 831 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 4: and everybody the momentum is gonna go up next year 832 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 4: on a Brad White regime. 833 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 1: Probably not, That's what I'm saying. So I don't that 834 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: to me. 835 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 4: There's no reason to make a change mid year in football, 836 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 4: back really in any sport in college. 837 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: It just doesn't make sense. You're not gonna change your 838 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: four I mean, what, what what are we gonna do? 839 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 7: Like? 840 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: Are we gonna play off if we make a change? Like, 841 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: what's the point before I fired Stoops mid year? I 842 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: would give him the opportunity to let him and he 843 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: deserves a chance. 844 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 4: Now, if you if we come out and score zero 845 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,479 Speaker 4: points and you said Mark's gonna make a change at OC. 846 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying now. That, to me is not 847 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 4: a ridiculous thing. I think you do that before. I 848 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 4: think you give him. I think he deserves a chance. 849 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 4: So what's the thing that could turn us around? Beat Texas, 850 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 4: then beat Vandy, then beat Alburn, or beat Louisville, Vandy 851 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 4: and Auburn. Yeah, right, that's the chance if you're Mark Stoops. 852 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 4: If you're Mark Stoops, let's be positive here for a 853 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,240 Speaker 4: second before I take a break. If you're Mark Stoops 854 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 4: and you say, how do you want to save this job? Right, 855 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 4: here's the path of saving the job. Beat Auburn, beat Bandy, 856 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 4: beat Louisville. That's not impossible. 857 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: No Florida at home. That is not impossible. 858 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:09,879 Speaker 2: To get you into a bowl game, that. 859 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: Is not likely, but it's not impossible. 860 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 4: I think you owe Mark Stoops to give him that shot, agreed, 861 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 4: And not to give Brad White that shot? 862 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:20,800 Speaker 2: Yep? 863 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: Is that fair? 864 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 6: Yeah? 865 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 4: And if Mark Stoops wants to have that shot, and 866 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 4: he wants to say I got two weeks here, I'm 867 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 4: changing the OC, I think you give him the shot. 868 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: Now. 869 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 4: I don't know who who's this? Who on staff would 870 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,240 Speaker 4: even be it. Yeah, there's a lot of new pieces 871 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 4: around him. I don't I don't even know, But I 872 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 4: don't think it's fair to Mark Stoops, who would be 873 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 4: the greatest coach, in my opinion, in modern UK history. 874 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 1: I think that's I don't even think that's contrabarding debate. 875 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: I don't. 876 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 4: I think you owe it to him to give him 877 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 4: the shot. Now, you don't owe it to him to 878 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 4: give him another year, but you owe it to him 879 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 4: to finish the year. 880 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: Wilford, that's who he gives it to, the fire buddy. 881 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 4: Can you imagine how it and people would be for that. 882 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 4: We'll take a break right back.

I was asking the UK South Carolina Jame. 926 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 6: And my biggest takeaway is historically those road fans are 927 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 6: the most optimistic fans. Yeah, they're not anymore. I was 928 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 6: gonna talk a bunch of negative stuff, but forget it. 929 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,959 Speaker 6: I'm not.

Good to hear from you, Jay, appreciate it. 935 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 4: The could that change over the course of that?
