I mean 93 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: it lived with me all night get this. I went 94 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 2: to lunch immediately after the show, met my buddy Manny 95 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: downtown bluegra Or, a big blue deli. They got UK 96 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: stuff everywhere. I already have a little anxiety that I 97 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: forgot Fred Cowen and had to do it. After the 98 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: break I get to the rest of to pay for 99 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: my sandwich. He has a huge frame picture of Fred 100 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: Cowen there, and I just thought, this is going to 101 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: live me for a long time forgetting him yesterday. So 102 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: that's one part we missed on Union County. 103 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 4: You did have the Voice of the Wildcats Cherpy on it, 104 00:03:58,960 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 4: so I. 105 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: Understand many other people that that one. That one sticks 106 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: with me. But the thing that stuck the most from 107 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: Union County, what's up with his Long John Silvers having breakfast? 108 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: I got blown up with that. Yeah, have you heard 109 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: of it? 110 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 5: For breakfast? 111 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: They tell me it's not actually fish. They make you know, bacon, 112 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: sausage all that. But uh, most of the feedback from 113 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: yesterday outside of the Aaron Harrison contest was people talking 114 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: about the Long John Silver Uh. Yeah, I guess whatever 115 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: normal breakfast been at a fish restaurant. 116 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 3: Look, I love fish. 117 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 8: I'm a Seafood Guy originally from Tampa, Charlie Seafood and Lexington. 118 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 8: I think that's what it's called with the best fish 119 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 8: sandwich in Lexington. I was there yesterday, so obviously I'm 120 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 8: a fan, but breakfast is a little early for me. 121 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 8: It's kind of like when Taco Bell came out with 122 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 8: their breakfast. I know, Drew, you may be, you may 123 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 8: be in the different camp here as they talk about guy, 124 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 8: but I couldn't do it. You know, I'm I'm not 125 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 8: with I'm not with the breakfast Tacos there, So it 126 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 8: was a little shit. 127 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 5: Ask our Long John Silver's expert Freddie Mager if he's 128 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 5: had their breakfast. 129 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 2: I'm sure Freddy has.

It's very confusing we got a 139 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: radio division, a website division. Why don't you just present 140 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: the Tyler Thompson job description and what all you do 141 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: covering the Cats? 142 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 5: Well, it changes by the minute. 143 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 6: I feel like everything that's not KSR Radio I kind 144 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 6: of oversee.

We 176 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 6: kind of had, you know, a renaissance, a resurgence during 177 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 6: the coaching search, So yeah, shout out to Part of 178 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 6: my morning routine is getting questions on the board every day, 179 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 6: so kind of just like four icebreaker questions to get 180 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 6: the conversation rolling, not just about sports. So I had 181 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 6: to hand that duty over to you while I was 182 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 6: on vacation, and then this morning Nick Rausch was doing 183 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 6: it and I just filled out mine. So maybe a 184 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 6: little later we can look pretty good to it. 185 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: Luckett kills it with the football and football recruiting beat 186 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: for US, including yesterday. We had quite a big commitment. 187 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: You were on the scene. We tried to cover it. 188 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 2: We were doing our best billion hour in the middle 189 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: of talking about Copa America. We didn't have sound. We 190 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: just saw him put on a hat. So since you 191 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: were there, why don't you walk us through a little 192 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 2: bit of what went down in Frankfurt yesterday. 193 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 9: First things first, Stocked and Mortgage really went all out 194 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 9: for this thing. I mean, we had an ice cream truck, 195 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 9: Free ice cream, great ice cream. They had little footballs, 196 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 9: like the little stuff footballs. They had a big banner, 197 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 9: made it look really professional when he went live, had 198 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 9: a nice shaded area so we weren't out there baking 199 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 9: in the sun. So Stockton really kind of pimped this 200 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 9: thing out. And then we got to see Jamien Campbell 201 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 9: really kind of you know he was. It was kind 202 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 9: of interesting because I think he was just kind of 203 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 9: the process just seemed unexpected for him, and I think 204 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 9: the commitment was kind of unexpected. This is a guy 205 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 9: who at this time last year wasn't really I mean, 206 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 9: he was getting ready to play his first season of football. 207 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 9: A fast forward a year later, he's picking between Auburn, 208 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 9: Alabama and Miami, Kentucky, Nord Dame, Ohio State were also 209 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 9: recruiting him. Oregon was recruiting him. So you're talking about 210 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 9: in like a ten month time period, he became a 211 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 9: guy who wasn't on his high school football team to 212 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 9: one of the most highly decorated defensive line recruits in 213 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 9: this college football recruiting cycle. 214 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 3: And so there was there was like. 215 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 9: An incense almost with him that you know, he hadn't 216 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 9: been through the process that long, so he was kind 217 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 9: of fresh and new and it was just a big guy. 218 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 9: I think recruiting went for Kentucky, and you can tell 219 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 9: he's a guy who's excited about this opportunity. And he's 220 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 9: a significant win for Kentucky because we always hear about, 221 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 9: you know, secee line of screamers, gotta be big, to 222 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 9: a physical, will have a depth, all of this in 223 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 9: the defensive line. Kentucky's got a strong defensive line this year. 224 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 9: I think one of the things where probably people aren't 225 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 9: talking about or realize is Kentucky might have a top 226 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 9: ten defensive line this season now top ten in SEC, 227 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 9: top ten in the country. Like they have that potential 228 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 9: on paper. Games aren't playing on paper, but they have 229 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 9: that potential, and to make sure that doesn't go away, 230 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 9: you have to stack some recruiting wins. Kentucky's now starting 231 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 9: to do that with Brian Robinson last year, Gerrod Smith 232 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 9: last year. Now you get Javon Campbell to back that up. 233 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 9: There's a lot to light there moving forward. And again, 234 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 9: Vince Merrill's having a huge, huge, huge recruiting year, and 235 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 9: then this was another big win for him, and it 236 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 9: keeps the top two players in the state at home. 237 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 9: When you look at him and then Martel's carter, you 238 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 9: go to Frankfurt get him, you go to Western Kentucky 239 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 9: to get Marte's carter. It's another feather in his cap 240 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 9: and it's just got some momentum moving forward on the 241 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 9: recreen trail. Now this class like it has potential to 242 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 9: maybe be their highest ranked one ever now. So those 243 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 9: are kind of the big picture points from Javian Campil commitment. 244 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 2: We were hoping to get Campbell on the air, kind 245 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 2: of ran out of time, obviously, he was very busy 246 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 2: with the eleven thirty commitment. We had to be done 247 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,359 Speaker 2: at noon. But did he give is there any explanation 248 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 2: as to why he picked up the football or football 249 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,599 Speaker 2: helmet as being a prolific basketball player. I mean, we 250 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: talked about how he's the leading scorer in school history 251 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 2: in basketball. What made him Did he just look in 252 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: the mirror and realize, all right, I should probably be 253 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: playing football. 254 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 255 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 9: Western Hills got a new football coach last year, Simon Pool, 256 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 9: and he kind of went out and recruiting to play. 257 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 9: And then Western Hills basketball coach was kind of like, 258 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 9: you should really think about this, Javon, Like it's might 259 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 9: be a good idea, especially for your future. So that 260 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 9: was really kind of the push there. I mean, he 261 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 9: was a basketball first guy until that point. He's still 262 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 9: gonna play basketball, like he played this last year and 263 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 9: he's gonna play next year for Western Hills. But that 264 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 9: was kind of the push to get him into football. 265 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 9: And then once he did that, it was just an explosion. 266 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 9: It's pretty much, you know, like we just pointed out, 267 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 9: he went from new guy, here's here's a helmet and 268 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 9: some shoulder pads and some cleats. Let's teach you how 269 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 9: to line up to Alabama's like trying to get him 270 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 9: in their number, whether it's the number one recruiting class 271 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 9: right now or the most momentum, I think, or most 272 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 9: attention on the recruiting trails out what Alabama's doing, Like 273 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 9: they wanted him, and Olhao State wanted him, and it's 274 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 9: now he's going to Kentucky. It's a big time player 275 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 9: and a big time prospect at a very important position, 276 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 9: and so very that's nice. That's a nice development, especially 277 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 9: if you're Kentucky. When those kind of players arise, you 278 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 9: got to you gotta be able to land and close 279 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 9: on those guys. And I think it's a credit to 280 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 9: Kentucky's recruiting operation that they were able to get him 281 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 9: in the fold. 282 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think something that was really cool. 283 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 6: Jacob Polachek interviewed his high school coach, and you know, 284 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 6: the whole story is, obviously he picked up football last 285 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 6: year and his first varsity play, his first varsity. 286 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 5: Snap was a sack. 287 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 6: Like can you imagine just the first time you ever 288 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 6: played football in a varsity game coming in and getting 289 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 6: a sack. I think that's pretty incredible. 290 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 2: What's I gotta do for your confidence? I'll try this 291 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: sport out. Okay, I'm great at it. Yeah, Alabama's calling, 292 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 2: I'm going to the Army Bowl. 293 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 9: Right, And he joined us on eleven personnel after that, 294 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 9: and he mentioned that moment. I asked him when was then, 295 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 9: believe me or Raush asking, but when was the first 296 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 9: moment you were like, oh I can do this, Like 297 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 9: this is I might like go to college or whatever 298 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 9: play football? He was like that first time I got 299 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 9: a sack, it was like WHOA Like that was the 300 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 9: light bulb moment. 301 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think for him, I think a cool question 302 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 6: that or a comment that he had was or maybe 303 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 6: it was you or Roush was like, there are no 304 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 6: fouls in football. 305 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 5: It's like, what's different about basketball versus football? And there 306 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 5: are no fouls? I mean they're flags, but it's a 307 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 5: little different, a little more physical. 308 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: One more piece of news from yesterday happened on the 309 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: show Tyler. We got Aaron Harrison to rank his Aaron 310 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: Harrison shots. So I can't believe we're saying that out loud. 311 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 2: It was just great to hear from Aaron Harrison, an 312 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 2: all time legend from some of our fondest memories of 313 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 2: the Calipari era. What did you think about him hopping 314 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 2: on these airwaves and just sharing some memories from those times. 315 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 5: It was really cool. 316 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 6: I mean, I think we all hoped when Andrew joined 317 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 6: TBT to wap Amelia that Aaron would follow, but they 318 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 6: kind of drew it out and there was some some suspense, 319 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 6: and obviously I think Aaron was just recently playing overseas 320 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 6: in Portugal. 321 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 5: But yeah, I was really good to hear from him. 322 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 6: I was proud of all three of you for not 323 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 6: asking him a bunch of twin questions because during his 324 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 6: time at Kentucky, I feel like there was always one 325 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 6: or two in a press conference, and it's like, how 326 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 6: many times is that these have these poor kids been 327 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 6: asked what it's like to be a twin. It was 328 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 6: really cool to hear him rank the shots and kind 329 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 6: of sad to hear him talk about how the thing 330 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 6: he'll remember. 331 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 5: Most is that is the loss to Wisconsin. 332 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 333 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: Thanks Jack that up. 334 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 5: But you know that's kind. 335 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 6: Of depressing, but it gives you perspective about you know, 336 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 6: these guys we remember there are great moments, but for them, 337 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 6: probably the one that stands out is the saddest and 338 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 6: the most upsetting. And you know, it took me back 339 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 6: to being in that press conference room in Indianapolis in 340 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 6: twenty fifteen, right after they had lost and oh it was. 341 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 5: It was terrible. 342 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 6: So I'm really glad for him and all of the 343 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 6: that they'll have a chance to come back to RUP 344 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 6: and come together and do something special. 345 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's coming up July nineteenth.

Moving forward, let's address a little more 386 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: on news. Kentucky baseball took a hit to the roster yesterday. 387 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 2: Look at Nolan McCarthy, one of the absolute stars of 388 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 2: Kentucky's run to Omaha. I mean, he's most famous for 389 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 2: the Pete Rose slide for the end of the game 390 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 2: winning run that won the Super Regional against Oregon State. 391 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: He also hit a home run in the first game 392 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 2: in Omaha. I remember a web gym against Arkansas and 393 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: the SEC tournament where he robbed a home run. Just 394 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 2: it was on these airwaves. It was just a big 395 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: personality and great contribute to that team. Thought he'd be 396 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 2: back for a senior year, but he's hitting the portal. 397 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 3: Got to talk to Pete Rose too. 398 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, they got to talk to Pete Rose. 399 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 9: That was a cool little story leading into the Caudrol series. 400 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: I have this portal philosophy. 401 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 9: It's you know, when you evaluate the portal, don't get 402 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 9: caught up in the wrong numbers, get caught up in 403 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 9: the impact of the player, Like don't lose your good 404 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 9: players or your starting players. And then try to replace, 405 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 9: you know, guys that may have maybe not that you 406 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 9: lost starting with transfers. You never want to lose guys 407 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 9: that made a big impact and to go somewhere else, 408 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 9: And that is a that's a big loss, Like it's 409 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 9: not something you want to see from. 410 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 3: What year you just had. 411 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 9: And for a player like that, like that picture is 412 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 9: gonna be smacked on every wall I would imagine in 413 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 9: the facility in the stadium, Like that's something you're gonna 414 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 9: want to put everywhere. If you're gonna have billboards to promote, Hey, 415 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 9: by season tickets, you would put that picture on the billboard. 416 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 9: And so that that that that moment that that player 417 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 9: is transferring not I don't think long term it's a 418 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 9: huge deal, but in the short term, it's like, hey, 419 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 9: what's going on here, Like that's not someone you on 420 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 9: the surface you should be losing. And you have to 421 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 9: wonder if some of the staff turnover. They had Georgia Plucks, 422 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 9: a couple of assistants, Hey, what's going on here? And 423 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 9: so that is definitely a big story. Like to me, 424 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 9: that's one of probably the biggest story since them probably 425 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 9: making the College World Series, is that he's leaving a player, 426 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 9: a player like that, and that's a high school recruit 427 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 9: they had. It wasn't a transfer, Like, that's the guy 428 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 9: they got out of high school and they they've developed 429 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 9: for three years and now he's leaving. That's not something 430 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 9: in any sport you want to see, whether basketball, football, 431 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 9: or baseball or any Olympic sport. You don't want to 432 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 9: see a guy that you've developed for three years bounce 433 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 9: and he's probably gonna go on somewhere to another team 434 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 9: in your conference. It's not it's not a it's not 435 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 9: a good. 436 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 8: Deal, but he can come back, right Like, there's there's 437 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 8: still that option he could the I kind of look 438 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 8: at it like you know, NBA prospects going and getting 439 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,959 Speaker 8: tested before they make their decision whether they wanted they 440 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,719 Speaker 8: wanted to go to the draft or stay in college. 441 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 8: I mean, it would be foolish at times to not 442 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 8: get that feedback from evaluators. I almost think in the 443 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 8: transport area, it's foolish to not see what people would 444 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 8: be willing to pay you. I mean, there may be 445 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 8: a smaller school that'd be that would be willing to 446 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 8: pay him much more money than Kentucky. And if that's 447 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 8: what motivates him, then I can't blame him for that. 448 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 8: But if the option is still open to go back 449 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 8: to Kentucky, you know, there is always that chance. And 450 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 8: and like Adam said that, he's gonna be on posters 451 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 8: for forever here in Lexington with that Pete Rose slide, 452 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 8: so maybe that would appeal to him a little bit more. 453 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 9: My only rebuttal to that would be that goes on 454 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 9: even with when they're there. Yeah, when they're entering the portal, 455 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 9: that's more of Hey, I'm going from school, I'm going 456 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 9: from tech U to State. You I know where I'm 457 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 9: going if I'm going to the portal. Those conversations are 458 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 9: had when they're still on the roster at other places. 459 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 9: So yes, they can withdraw like a text saying them 460 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 9: they had a bunch of baseball players come back because 461 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 9: they promote to the pitching coach or the hitting coach, 462 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 9: whoever it was. But for the most part, when those 463 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 9: players enter the portal, they know where they're leaving. It's 464 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 9: rare to have like a Jordan Dingle who went into 465 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 9: the portal and then came back. That doesn't happen very often. 466 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 9: More times than not, heavy majority if they're entering the portal, 467 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 9: they already know where they're going, Especially a player like 468 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 9: McCarthy who's a multi year starter, who's approven center starting 469 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 9: centerfielder or the SEC. A guy like that is what 470 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 9: has has a lot of worth as a free agent. 471 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think we just have to kind of 472 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 6: reconcile this team. This baseball team is going to look 473 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 6: a lot different next year regardless. You know, Ryan Walschmidt 474 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 6: is going to get drafted. They say he could be 475 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 6: obviously a first round pick, but potentially top ten. 476 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 5: That's huge. 477 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 6: And I think that if Nick Mengi Oone has proved anything, 478 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 6: it's that he's very, very good in the transfer portal. 479 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 6: So I think he's built himself some goodwill to Yes, 480 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 6: he's losing some impact pieces potentially, but he can bring 481 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 6: some in. And they got some good news late yesterday. 482 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 6: It's not a transfer, but they're adding a former Texas commit, 483 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 6: Ryan Schwartz catch who decommitted from the Longhorns, So he's 484 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 6: coming in. 485 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 5: He could have a big impact next year. 486 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 6: So I'm willing to give Nick Mineone, you know, some 487 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 6: grace here considering what he just did. 488 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 2: They did get some good news as you said hours 489 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 2: after losing McCarthy and the freshman class is good, but man, 490 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 2: that a senior leader.

Of course 642 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,239 Speaker 7: it has to have a wildcat on the tire ends. 643 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 7: That keeps me a little bit there, but uh, for 644 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 7: most people who don't For most people who don't know, 645 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 7: I am a player director with the nfl PA, I 646 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 7: cover five different teams, the three Florida teams, Cincinnati, and Tennessee, 647 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 7: So it keeps me in the locker room a lot 648 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 7: during the season. I have. My responsibility is basically being 649 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 7: being being there for the guys union wise and talking. 650 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 7: So I spent a lot of time with Will out 651 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 7: there on the practice field and inside the locker room too, 652 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 7: so I get to get to see see his interactions 653 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 7: with the club, and I can say, man, he's uh, 654 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 7: he's taking that leadership role and running with it and uh. 655 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 7: And I think after after the season that he had 656 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 7: last year, him coming in stepping in for Tannehill and 657 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 7: just showing that locker room like, Hey, I'm gonna challenge 658 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 7: you guys to become a better player, better team. And 659 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 7: as you see, they brought in a new coach to 660 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 7: to basically cater around Will being being a better quarterback. 661 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 7: They brought they beached up the old lineman. So I 662 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 7: think the futures right in Tennessee for Will, especially for 663 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 7: the Titans. 664 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 2: Also, I've been a fan of that franchise since Jeff 665 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 2: Fisher was there when they first started, and I've never 666 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 2: known them to throw the ball. I don't know how 667 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 2: I'm gonna adjust in my brain that they're gonna be 668 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 2: a passing team moving forward. That's great for Will, and 669 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 2: you're a great guy to having the locker room as 670 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 2: a role model for them as a long time captain. 671 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 7: Thanks, thanks, go ahead. 672 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say you're also doing a lot 673 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 2: of things with sixteen Ways, which we want to talk 674 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: about here because you're coming to Lexon soon for your 675 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 2: charity golf scramble coming up on Friday July twelfth.

You have the floor? Yeah, let's 825 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 2: dand from Rocky mount Yeah. 826 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 10: Dan from Rocky Mounting. I got a question for Adam. Okay, 827 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 10: look you know uh our quarterback. Uh, he's gonna have Georgia. 828 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:47,839 Speaker 10: I'm just gonna tell you the teams. 829 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be really tough. 830 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 10: Georgia Ole Miss, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee in Texas. What, Adam, 831 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,479 Speaker 10: what's one of those teams are we gonna upset this year? 832 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question. 833 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 9: I think you look at Auburn and Florida, like I 834 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,240 Speaker 9: think there's a good chance Kentucky could be favored. 835 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 3: In those games. 836 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,439 Speaker 9: But the big thing you look at is there's four 837 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 9: big games where Kentucky's probably gonna be more than a 838 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 9: touchdown dog. You look at Old Miss, you look at Texas, 839 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 9: you look at Georgia, and that's that's the three big ones. 840 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 9: So like, where can they pick one off there? That 841 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,399 Speaker 9: that's hard, that's enough, that's hard. That's hard to say. 842 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 9: Like Georgia and Texas might be two of the best, 843 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 9: they might be the two best teams all this year 844 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 9: outside of I'll state maybe, but at least top five. 845 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 9: They project to be top five. So you look at 846 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 9: Old Miss, maybe maybe that's a team that Kentucky I 847 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 9: think has played really really close. I think you can 848 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 9: argue last time they went down there they should have won. 849 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 9: But then again, can will they get it be able 850 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 9: to get enough stops? Can they score? Can they win 851 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 9: a game where they have to score thirty one points. 852 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 9: I kind of point to Old miss is kind of 853 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 9: maybe the best one in Tennessee. I think it's the 854 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,359 Speaker 9: other one, but again, Tennessee might be the most likely 855 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 9: when you kind of if you just stack the rosters, 856 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 9: But Kentucky hasn't figured out that Josh Heypel puzzle yet. 857 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 9: So for me, yeah, I kind of would if I 858 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 9: had to give an answer, I would lean on miss 859 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,359 Speaker 9: as probably the best chance to get one of those. 860 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 9: But it's hard to say because again, three of those 861 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 9: are on the road, and so those are kind of 862 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 9: four games that you think, well, it's gonna be kind 863 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 9: of tough to win, and that kind of lowers the 864 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 9: ceiling so that that really is one of the bigger 865 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 9: storylines of the season. It's like, how many for sure 866 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 9: losses does Kentucky. 867 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 3: Have this year? 868 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 9: And if it's four, that makes it. That makes it tough, 869 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 9: and then it doesn't give you much wiggle room the 870 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:30,400 Speaker 9: rest of the schedule. 871 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 2: I appreciate the call, Dan, thanks for reaching out. We 872 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 2: also got some times on these games, not just the opponents. 873 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 2: What did you What are some of your takeaways from 874 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 2: that schedule. I'll start by saying, absolutely robbery that Old Miss. 875 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 2: It has now been fifteen years, we've been three times 876 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 2: in all three games are at eleven am local time, 877 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 2: just completely ruining the Old Miss experience. But there are 878 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 2: a lot other things to know. 879 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 6: If you think about it from an upset standpoint, maybe 880 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,800 Speaker 6: that makes it easier. You know, the Old Miss fans 881 00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,720 Speaker 6: don't have all day to get rowdy and get crazy. 882 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 6: But I'm bitter about that. 883 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 2: I was thank you more selfish grove experience for the 884 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 2: players on the field of Kentucky's chances. Absolutely, that's what 885 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 2: we want. But I'm selfish. 886 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 9: I will say from someone that went to the grove 887 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 9: for the Neon game, Uh, don't let that. 888 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 3: Be the reason you don't go. 889 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 2: Oh, I saw you the night before. I ran in 890 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 2: at that evening. 891 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 9: We still had a good there was still good times had, 892 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 9: and I saw people having plenty of good times at 893 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 9: nine thirty am out there at the Grove and then 894 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 9: even after. I think because you can still experience the 895 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 9: grove after the game when it's set up like that, 896 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 9: So don't let that be the reason you do not go. 897 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 9: I think from home ticket season ticket holder, you're a 898 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 9: big winner in this. Not only do you have a 899 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 9: lot of good games this year, but you get a 900 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 9: lot of good games outside of the noon window. You 901 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 9: get South Carolina at three thirty, you get Georgia at night, 902 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 9: you get Louisville out out of the new window, you 903 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 9: get Auburn, which should be a night game. I think 904 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 9: you should be very happy with how the home schedule 905 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 9: sets up here. And then you've got, if you want 906 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 9: to do the Keenland thing, you got two home games 907 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 9: that are probably not gonna be at noon. Vanberildt, I 908 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 9: don't believe that time has been announced, but those are 909 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 9: probably gonna be night games. So you've got you got 910 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 9: night games. And then I think Week one to me, 911 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 9: you never want the Week one game to be at 912 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 9: a nooner because you want to you want to like 913 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 9: test out the kinks, let's see what we need to 914 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 9: have for when the big games arrived. So you get that, 915 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 9: you get that little test eight Week one to get 916 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 9: Southern miss with a night kickoff, And I think overall, 917 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 9: just a home schedule, you get a lot of advantageous 918 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 9: opponents coming in in the games you want to see, 919 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 9: but you get them at good times, so you get 920 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 9: get the full tailgate experience. So I think the season. 921 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 9: Ticket holders for Krogerfield were the big winners in the 922 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 9: schedule time release. 923 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 8: Adam, let me ask you something quickly, sorry, Drew. Do 924 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 8: you look at that second game versus South Carolina as 925 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 8: the biggest game of the year. Yes, no doubt, no doubt, 926 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 8: no doubt. Yeah. I mean it sets the tone, right, 927 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,399 Speaker 8: I mean if you if you go in and beat 928 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 8: Shane Beemer, I mean I think you look at a 929 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 8: season that's maybe what eight win season, Ryan win. But 930 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 8: if you don't, then you're gonna be grasping for six 931 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:54,800 Speaker 8: or seven again. 932 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 9: Right again, because you have those games where you're a 933 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 9: clear dog and you play probably maybe two top four 934 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 9: teams that game at home, and a big part of 935 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 9: the season I think to me is turning the table 936 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,839 Speaker 9: at home. Kentucky is stunk at home in SEC games 937 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 9: in the last a couple. 938 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 4: Of years since Missouri last year. 939 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 9: Is still hurt two and seven, since Josh Heipel got 940 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 9: that win here twenty one when Tennessee prevented Kentucky from 941 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 9: going ten and two and twenty two one to one. 942 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 9: That started a two and seven stretch at home against 943 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 9: Power conference teams. And if you want to throw Louisville 944 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 9: in that they are three and seven against Power conference 945 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 9: teams in their last ten. 946 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 3: Games at home. 947 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 2: It's gotta change. 948 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 3: It should be seven to three. You gotta flip that. 949 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 9: That has to flip around, and we all know how 950 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,399 Speaker 9: tough Georgia is going to be, so South Carolina, that's 951 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 9: that's a huge game for Kentucky. 952 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 3: You've got to start winning that series. 953 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 9: You've felt like you let two get away here in 954 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 9: that series the last two seasons. You felt like you 955 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 9: probably had the better team both games, and you lost 956 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 9: both of those. So that's one I think for Kentucky 957 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 9: where they got that's a huge game for I don't 958 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 9: think there's a way you can you can look back 959 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 9: at Kentucky having a successful season with a loss of 960 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 9: that South carolin on a team, and you look at 961 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 9: how Kentucky has started that typically that's one of the 962 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 9: better games they play all year is that first big 963 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,799 Speaker 9: SE's the home game. Look at the Florida game last 964 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 9: year and that The list goes on and on, and 965 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 9: South Carolina has struggled out the gates against Beamer that 966 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 9: their best games have typically come in November. So you're 967 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 9: getting them at a great spot and you're getting historically 968 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 9: where Mark Stoops teams have performed better in so you 969 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 9: just got to win that game. You cannot, you cannot 970 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,320 Speaker 9: have a good season. I don't think without a win, there. 971 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,320 Speaker 2: No losing to Beamer. I like that extra forty five minutes. 972 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 2: We get the Ohio game to twelve forty five. Let's 973 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 2: go a long way for tailgames. But we'll be right back. 974 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,240 Speaker 2: This is KSR. Lots more football talk ahead and catching 975 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 2: up with Miss Tyler Thompson. We'll be right back.
