Speaker 5: thing that was that was I'm going to talk about

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 5: that a little bit in the second hour. We'll talk

44
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 5: about a little bit of some of the stuff that

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 5: happened during the offset. I also had to do like

46
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 5: a photo shoot, which I have to talk about. While

47
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 5: I was making fun of Mario's photo shoot, you spent

48
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 5: that whole time before the to do one for a job.

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 5: He Mario was doing it for Instagram. Mario Mario's Instagram, Shannon.

50
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: I don't know if you ever go to it.

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 4: I need to follow him on there.

52
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 5: It's the funniest thing in the world because Mario will

53
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 5: like pose in like an abandoned street with one of

54
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 5: his buddies, and they'll be sitting there and he'll be

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 5: looking off in the sunset. He'll be like, follow you, yeah,

56
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 5: read me a caption of one of them.

57
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: Uh, were we go?

58
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 4: Let's see here, let me find a good one. No

59
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 4: one just says, take care.

60
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: See the lessons you learn and the growth that you

61
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: experience is never spontaneous.

62
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 5: That's exactly right. But Mario says things like that. They

63
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 5: cracked me up. He always has all these life after

64
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 5: mad it's never spontaneous, the life you grow. And then

65
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 5: it's like looking there and they're just two random guys.

66
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: I don't know who these people are. Mario has his

67
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 5: own posse. Mario is supposed to be our company, and

68
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 5: Mario has his own people.

69
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: They're looking good, thyough, they got their foot, they all

70
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: look great. You know, they smell good.

71
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 5: What you know, they smell good. Smelling people.

72
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: I can't help it smelling you walk smelling people.

73
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: Joe Biden stuff, rubbing off.

74
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 5: Yeah you're not Joe.

75
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 4: Taking one picture of Joe Biden. Then you go on

76
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: snapping people with a dog, don't you don't.

77
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 5: Kids telling people they smell good all the time? Eight

78
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 5: oh twenty to eighty seven. But this, I don't know.

79
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 5: I guess we should start. There's a lot of football news.

80
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 5: It'll probably take some set up because if you haven't been,

81
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 5: if you don't follow the internet on a minute by

82
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: minute basis, you probably wouldn't know all this. But let's

83
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 5: start with the basketball. I think, I mean, we lost

84
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 5: Alabama really bad performance. I mean, you know, after the

85
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 5: first five minutes, ten minutes, never really in the game.

86
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 5: It didn't feel like I don't know, man, Jyalen Lowe

87
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 5: played well, Away played pretty well, and then the rest

88
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 5: was just a disaster. I mean, I feel like it's

89
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 5: a broken record from the Gonzaga game and from the

90
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 5: you know, from the Michigan State game, and from even

91
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 5: the Louisville game of I don't understand the lineups. I

92
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 5: don't understand why we can't get any offense going. I

93
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 5: had people close the game tell me this team argues

94
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 5: with each other constantly off the court, like like in

95
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 5: the huddles and stuff like in a non good way.

96
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 5: It feels like some of the good vibes we had

97
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 5: after Indiana Saint John's, I don't know, did they all

98
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 5: go out the window.

99
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: Man. I've been thinking for two days what I'm gonna

100
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: say about this game today, because this is not you

101
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: can't just write this off as a one off thing.

102
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: There's been This is kind of a little bit of

103
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: a pattern. We've seen getting down early, down by twenty

104
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: to these good put players, and this is the first

105
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: time you're pretty much at full strength. You know, there

106
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: was no excuse for the second game of the year

107
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: at full strength, and you also had two weeks to

108
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: get ready for this team, and they looked like they

109
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: didn't know what was coming.

110
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 5: And it was a team that you could make an

111
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 5: argument you built this roster exactly for this game exactly.

112
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 5: I mean, I think there's a really good argument that

113
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 5: Mark Pope changed his entire roster building philosophy because of

114
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 5: what Alabama did to Kentucky three times last year.

115
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: You're exactly right, he said, Okay, if I want to

116
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: compete in the SEC, I got to do this, this,

117
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: and this because Alabama they had They were no match

118
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 2: for Alabama last year.

119
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 5: And we didn't play poorly last year in Alabama still,

120
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 5: so I mean, it was clear like he created this

121
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 5: entire team on the Okay, I have to build a

122
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 5: roster to be able to play against the Alabamas. Yes,

123
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 5: and you did just as poorly, maybe maybe worse, because

124
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 5: at least last year you would offensively be pretty efficient.

125
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 5: You just couldn't guard it. Now we can't score.

126
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 2: Like I said, you gotta start questioning the coach. You

127
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: guys start questioning. Is this team just not very good?

128
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: I mean, because I don't, like I said, this is

129
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: this is not just a one off thing. You can't

130
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: write it off. They just had an off night.

131
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 5: This is bad.

132
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: The frustrating part was you know exactly what they're going

133
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: to do and you still couldn't stop.

134
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 5: You can't stop, first of all, number one most important thing,

135
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 5: more than anything else. How in the world did we

136
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 5: go into that game and decide to let them shoot

137
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 5: open threes? How do we How did they think that

138
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 5: was the way to go? And how many do they

139
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 5: have to make before they decide closing off the three

140
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 5: is the number one most important thing? How many times

141
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 5: do they have to make a three before we stop

142
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 5: going underscreen?

143
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: Exactly?

144
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 5: How many times do they have to run a pick

145
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 5: and roll to where we do not leave it? Make

146
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 5: them beat us at the rim? We have like ten

147
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 5: seven footers on the team, make the if they make

148
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 5: if they beat us at the rim? Okay, but how

149
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 5: do we keep letting them shoot open threes? How?

150
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: And like I said, you had two weeks to get

151
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: ready for it. You knew that's how Alabama plays, That's

152
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: what they that's what their offensive design around the.

153
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 5: Change it at the end. And it's too late, you

154
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 5: way too late. How are you gonna wait thirty minutes?

155
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 5: If Colin Chandler runs under another screen, I'm gonna go

156
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: crazy and I will notice a couple of postgame callers

157
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 5: said they still had open shots in those last two minutes,

158
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 5: they just missed them. True, I mean that three point

159
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 5: defense is putrid.

160
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: And like Bill's kept pointing out Alabama's getting in the

161
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: lane whenever they want and then kick it out to

162
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: a wide open three pointer.

163
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 5: And then after the game's over, Oates makes a really

164
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 5: good point. Oates is like, we studied them, they don't pass. Yeah,

165
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 5: I mean he he basically said the coaches won't do that.

166
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 5: But he basically was, like, we study him, they don't pass.

167
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 5: When they throw it in the post, it ain't coming

168
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 5: out that number. And I'm just gonna assume he's right

169
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 5: because he said it. We only have seven assists by

170
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 5: our bigs when the ball goes into the post in

171
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 5: thirteen games.

172
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: I don't you gotta assume that's right.

173
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 5: And if that's right, that's horrendous, awful. I mean Alabama

174
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 5: probably had six or seven in that game. Yeah, really,

175
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 5: you know it is. Watching this team play is so frustrating.

176
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 5: And I have to tell you, if Jalen Low wasn't

177
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 5: on the team, I'm not sure we would ever score.

178
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 5: But he is the only person that can generate any offense.

179
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: Him and Otaga were the only offensive threats they had games.

180
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 5: And listen, we need Otega. But he's drawing files, yeah right,

181
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 5: Like he's going into the painting, but in terms of

182
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 5: generating ball movement, no one else even no one else

183
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 5: even attempts it.

184
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: The whole offense was Jalen Low trying to create something

185
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: and get us a bucket. That was the offense that

186
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 2: I feel like.

187
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 5: Remember I used to say at Pitt, I watched him

188
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 5: and he was so good, but he had to do

189
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 5: everything and he didn't have it. I feel like I'm

190
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 5: watching that this year. Yeah, I feel like he's having

191
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 5: to do the exact same thing this year where he did.

192
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: Saturday against Alabama. He was the offense. There was no

193
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: other offensive threat other than Otaga trying to why.

194
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 5: I mean, this team is clearly poorly constructed, but I'm

195
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 5: going to keep saying this. Yes it's poorly constructed, that

196
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 5: is obvious, but there's nothing you can do about that

197
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 5: at this moment. Can't Why are they so bad that?

198
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 5: Why can he not get something positive going out of

199
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 5: this group?

200
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: So I think guess why people were starting to question

201
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 2: is that the coach's responsibilities is the coach's fault or

202
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: is this team just not very good?

203
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 5: All of it is the coach's fault? Right? The roster

204
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 5: construction is the coach is fault. The way they play

205
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 5: is the coach's fault. They don't like each other. They

206
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 5: just don't. I mean you can tell. And I mean

207
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 5: I may see a clip where somebody says something nice.

208
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 5: That doesn't mean they like each other, right, you know.

209
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 5: I work with people at ESPN. They like, they'll say

210
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 5: nice things about each other, and in the moment somebody

211
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 5: goes away, they'll be like, gosh, that per No, I'm serious,

212
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 5: like like it, it's hilarious. That's one good thing is like,

213
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 5: you won't get that from me, Like if I don't

214
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 5: like you, you'll know we were past that then when

215
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 5: we're not. They argued the whole time. I had a

216
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 5: friend who who was who drove down there bought tickets

217
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 5: and was like, dude, I mean they just argue all

218
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 5: the time, just constant and that, and it's the best

219
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 5: players arguing with each other. Basically. It's like, well, I

220
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 5: don't want to divide the team into it, but there

221
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 5: is a divide of kind of like one certain you

222
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 5: could almost guess if I were to sit here and

223
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 5: tell you guess which you'd guess it. Yeah, so I

224
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 5: don't know what you do. And then I don't understand, pope.

225
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 5: I mean that interview with Tom Leach. I'm not gonna

226
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 5: play it again, but I played it on the post

227
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 5: game show. I mean, what, what what has happened to

228
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 5: him in these losses? Why? Why does he become like

229
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 5: a different person when we lose?

230
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's it's not a good look,

231
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: it's all horrible.

232
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 5: Look.

233
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta grow up and be a man and

234
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: look Tom Leech in the face and answer his questions.

235
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 5: And when people go, well, what do you expect him

236
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 5: to say? He just lost? I expect him to be

237
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 5: a grown up. This is a smart person, This is

238
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 5: not He is not a jerk, He is not an idiot.

239
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 5: He is smart. He knows what he's supposed to do,

240
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 5: and then he goes in and he becomes a different

241
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 5: human being. I expect him to be a grown up.

242
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 5: You judge people's character in a time of adversity. Anyone

243
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 5: can be good when you're winning. Well that's not true.

244
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 5: Some people are bad winners too, but most people are

245
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 5: pretty good when they're winning, and gracious. You judge how

246
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 5: you deal with adversity. Yeah, I'm saying, like Mario and

247
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 5: his Instagram.

248
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 4: Put that on your captions.

249
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 5: But I mean it's true, and I you know, go

250
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 5: back to Louisville when he says, you know, something happened

251
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 5: in the locker room. When you go back to Michigan

252
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 5: State where I've never seen a the Michigan's I'll never understand.

253
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 5: I mean, Rick Patino said, I called to him and said,

254
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 5: what is wrong with you? Good for Rick? Right to

255
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 5: Gonzaga where he said nothing. And now this, I don't

256
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 5: get it. And I've been told by the way, and

257
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 5: I'll say this, I've been told he's been spoken to

258
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 5: by folks at UK going you got to stop. And

259
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 5: then he did it again.

260
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: If you're a recruit sitting at home and you hear

261
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: your coach talk and act like that, and you is

262
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: that the guy you want to play for?

263
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know. I mean I am, I am

264
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 5: baffled by this. I said on the post game show.

265
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 5: When we hired Mark, I had a serious question about

266
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 5: ability to get talent, and that question still exists. Although

267
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 5: he's gotten some, the question still exists. So I knew

268
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 5: that would be an issue. The thing I thought was

269
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 5: a given was they would play smart. They'd played hard, right, Yeah,

270
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 5: they'd be well prepared. I was like, that's a given.

271
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 5: I don't know, doesn't feel like a given.

272
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: You're you're a coach, be a leader, Act like a leader.

273
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: You're a leader of young men. They're looking up to you.

274
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: They see you act like that, They're going to act

275
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: like that.

276
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 5: And then I don't understand our team. I really don't.

277
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 5: Colin Chandler looks scared to death. Denzel Aberdeen, you sit

278
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 5: there and go, what does he bring? And how did

279
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 5: that happen? I mean he was on a national championship

280
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 5: team last year. Yeah, so he's clearly good. Diabate is

281
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 5: yelling at everybody throughout the game.

282
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, how does Cam Williams not play hardy at all?

283
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 2: If he just had eight out of ten time?

284
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 5: How do you not play Cam Williams? How many threes

285
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 5: does a man have to hit to get time?

286
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 2: Eight out of ten in the last game out he

287
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 2: didn't get in to play like what six minutes in

288
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: the first half.

289
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 5: I mean, I sit and look at it. I don't

290
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 5: know what if Jayalen Lowe had not come back, they'd

291
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 5: gotten be by forty. I mean, would we score thirty

292
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 5: five points a game? I'd be pushing it so, I

293
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 5: mean they have a big week now. Missouri looked at

294
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 5: the beginning of the year like, Okay, that's easy. They

295
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 5: beat Florida's beat Florida, and they're coming in here Wednesday,

296
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 5: and you cannot lose.

297
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: No, you have to win these two.

298
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 5: You have to win these two home games coming back

299
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 5: to back. Have to So I don't know if I'm nine,

301
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 5: are we gonna have to start calling him Mark Mope?

302
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 5: I mean, after these games.

303
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: There's a little Mope be a leader man.

304
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 5: Am I wrong? Shannon? Is that unfair? No?

305
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 4: It's not.

306
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: And it all seems like it started with that Louisville

307
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 3: game and ever since then when they've lost that lot man.

308

00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 5: Night Live. Be right back.

313
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 6: Oh if I'm not eighth, the podcast has the music

314
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 6: in the podcast, He'll be great.

315
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 5: He's gonna be me making mowning noise.

316
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 3: This hall gloomed to sparing agony.

317
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 5: Where it makes sense if you do it. But again, no,

318
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 5: let's see, I've been off. You forget a while, and

319
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 5: I forget all right if I'm nine twenty two eighty seven.

320
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 5: We do have some breaking news.

321
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: Oh okay, running on.

322
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 5: A Baylor center Coleton Price has committed to Kentucky. Uh,

323
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 5: it's part from the transfer portal. Just so people know.

324
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 5: Center is not a sexy position, but as play will

325
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 5: tell you, it's important on the offensive line. This is

326
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 5: probably the biggest kit Kentucky's gotten so far. He started

327
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 5: thirty three straight games for Baylor, all Big twelve. He'll

328
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 5: be the center for the off for the UK offensive

329
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 5: line next year. This was a priority. Apparently. I've been

330
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 5: told for will Stein, his center does a lot of

331
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 5: the work snap and they wanted this guy and they

332
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 5: got him. So that's great.

333
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: You lose all five your offensive lineman, are you okay?

334
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: Got a little frog on my throat. I haven't talked

335
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: all weekend. You know you haven't been around.

336
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 5: You lost all talk in your private life.

337
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: I don't I just sit and watch study, do game

338
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: show prep.

339
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 7: Game show prep. Price is right, Yeah, I do this game?

340
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 7: What is game show prep? Game and show preps?

341
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 5: He does game show prep. Sounds like it. All right?

342
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: Anyway, go ahead, they lose all five offensive linemen. You

343
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: have to start with somebody you can kind of build around.

344
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: I think this is that guy. I think they went

345
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: out and got this guy and now they can kind

346
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: of build around, get their guards, get their tackles.

347
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 5: That's so, that's that is a big get. Well, we'll

348
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 5: update the portal just in general. But that just happened

349
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 5: here this morning. KSR breaks it congrants to Jacob pull

350
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 5: a check on that. All right, so back for a second.

351
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 5: Why doesn't Jay when low start?

352
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: I don't have an answer for you. I mean, you

353
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: wait until you're down to bring him in? What second half?

354
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: Like you put it out, there's a minute and a

355
00:16:58,600 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: half into the second half, then you bring him.

356
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 5: That one makes no sense to me. I mean his

357
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 5: reasoning for doing it is he says, well the analytics

358
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 5: say or we bought no analytics says, don't play for

359
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 5: a minute in twenty five seconds and then put and

360
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 5: then put him in. What analytic is going to say

361
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 5: that there is none?

362
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 2: There is none? You got He's your only offensive three,

363
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 2: he's your best player. He needs to be on the

364
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: floor as much as possible.

365
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 5: I always when Kyle did it with Reid and Rob

366
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 5: it was stubbornness or maybe promising DJ to Justin that

367
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 5: they would start. What is this, like, I'm.

368
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: Seriously, I don't have an answer for you. I don't.

369
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 5: It makes no sense to me. Like I can understand

370
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 5: the argument for quaintance while he's trying to get back

371
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 5: he hasn't played, but Jayn Lowe is out there, probably

372
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 5: shouldn't be playing, and he's playing to try to help

373
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 5: your team. Yep, why not just I mean, he can

374
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 5: get hurt in at any moment, so why not just

375
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 5: put him in at the start?

376
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 3: Might as well because they gave up nine straight at

377
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: the very beginning, in the first five minutes of the

378
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 3: game went you know.

379
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 5: They were up five to nothing, and then they gave

380
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 5: up no, Nine straight points and then they put him in.

381
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 5: By the way, somebody pointed out, Jaleno's played against four

382
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 5: good teams this year. When he's checked in the game,

383
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 5: we've been losing all four times.

384
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: That's a pattern.

385
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,239
Speaker 5: Why would you do that?

386
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

387
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 5: And the stats, these stats are so awful. Somebody gave

388
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 5: him the postgame show thirty four games against Power Conference teams.

389
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 5: Since Pope's been here, We've been down double digits in

390
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 5: seventeen of the thirty four half. We've been down twenty

391
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 5: in eight of the thirty four games.

392
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: And five of them are this year.

393
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 5: One fourth of the times we've played someone from a

394
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 5: major conference, one out of four we've been down twenty

395
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 5: in the game.

396
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: That is not Kentucky basketball that way, That is not

397
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: Kentucky basket.

398
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 5: And I'm not Look, I'm not giving up on Pope.

399
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 5: Some people are, I'm not. I still believe he can

400
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 5: do it. I still think there's almost nothing that could

401
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 5: happen this year with it would tell me he shouldn't

402
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 5: come back next year and give it a run. I

403
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 5: think last year was actually successful. I will note, however,

404
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 5: through his first fifty games, it's coach of Kentucky. He

405
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 5: has the same record Billy.

406
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: Gilespie Yeah, thirty three and fifty seventeen, right, exact same record, Billy.

407
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: I was saying, through the first fifty games.

408
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 5: That's troubling. Yep, I think that's I don't It is

409
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 5: not crazy to say that's not good.

410
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: And you know you just pointed out the Jalen Lowe.

411
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: You've pointed out to Cam Williams, these two guys that

412
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 2: you know, you think can help you in a situation,

413
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 2: because when you start the game with Aberdeen and your

414
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 2: point guard, you're getting down every single time. He's just

415
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 2: not a point guard. You need Jalen Low out there

416
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: to kind of run the offense for you.

417
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 5: He does have confidence, though, shit, he believes.

418
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: I'm Billy confident a little too much.

419
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 5: He's like Billy in a bar full of models.

420
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: Huh. Yep.

421
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 5: He thinks he's getting it all.

422
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: He thinks he's the number one option. He's going to

423
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: show you.

424
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 5: Let's go to Justin, Go ahead, Justin.

425
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 8: Hey, there's a lot of stuff that I was going

426
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 8: to say y'all talked about, but a lot of the

427
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 8: stuff that Pope like he's a smart guy, but like

428
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 8: the common sense stuff that think he looks past, like

429
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 8: for example, going underpicks, like at some point you got

430
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 8: to know to force them into the lane so they

431
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 8: don't shoot wide open threes and then don't help. And

432
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 8: then Cam Williams to me, would be built to play

433
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 8: more in this game because he can switch yes, basically

434
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 8: one through four, and yeah, somehow he don't play and

435
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 8: I don't know.

436
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 5: I don't understand that You're exactly right. Cam would be

437
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 5: the perfect person for this. I appreciate the call. I mean, listen,

438
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 5: there is when you play Jalen low you're going to

439
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 5: have a defensive issue, so you need to make up

440
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 5: for it by having long guys around them. Although I

441
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 5: would argue we were so bad Saturday, Jalen Lowe's defensive

442
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 5: issues don't even matter because everybody has a defensive issue.

443
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 5: You're right right, None of we had no one that

444
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 5: could guard anybody. No, probably the only guy that played

445
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 5: pretty good defense was our way on file On. Yeah,

446
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 5: that's the other thing. Alabama was out there without think

447
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 5: about this. Huh. They beat us like that. They're two

448
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 5: big guys starting big guys didn't even really play. One

449
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 5: of them was out the whole game. One of them

450
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 5: got out five minutes in. Yeah, and Filon had two

451
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 5: points at halftime and we were still getting crushed.

452
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: You tell me before the game, you hold Filon like

453
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: that and their big guy has to see out cause

454
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 2: they got hurt. You got a good chance to win

455
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: that game and still did not matter at.

456
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 5: All, didn't It weren't even competitive?

457
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 2: No, they brought off that seven foot off the bench

458
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: who has a career game against us.

459
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 5: They just find people on the street and we give

460
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 5: them wide open shots.

461
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 3: The play when Alabama was up the free throw line

462
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: and then they get the offensive rebound and then throw

463
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: it out door, wide open.

464
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 4: Three, and you give up a three off of a

465
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 4: free throw.

466
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, summed up the entire game, it did.

467
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 5: You're exactly right, Joe, go ahead, Joe.

468
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, man, I think you said it last year playing Alabama,

469
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 9: and obviously we were a lot back of last year.

470
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 9: But you know the thing with Alabama is they do

471
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 9: everything we want to do, or we told we're gonna

472
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 9: do pot yes better.

473
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 5: But I mean Alabama, no, alab Joe, You're with Alabama

474
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 5: is what I thought we were getting, didn't you? Isn't

475
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 5: that what you? I thought? That's what Mark was gonna do.

476
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 9: He said he built this team to compensate for what

477
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 9: happened against Alabama, and we we couldn't looked worse on

478
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 9: the offensive end or the defensive end.

479
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 5: Alabama, I appreciates, called Joe Alabama under natoats. It's what

480
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 5: I thought Mark Pope basketball was.

481
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 2: Gonna be not even close yet, But.

482
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 5: I mean, didn't that what you think? Spread the floor.

483
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 5: Everybody could shoot, share the ball, find your moments. You

484
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 5: give up points, but you know what, it's okay because

485
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 5: you can score a lot and we're not even close

486
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 5: to them, and we're not even competitive with that. Right now,

487
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 5: we'll take a break. Right back. It's KISR. TJ. Smith,

488
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 5: personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay.

489
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.

490
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 4: Here's Matt Jones.

491
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 5: All right, Shannon, this is my new Uh. I don't

492
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 5: want to say favorite song, but one of them, and

493
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 5: I'm like, I really like this artist. Just listen to

494
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 5: this chorus. All right, it's called Gary. What do you

495
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 5: think it's It's not bad.

496
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm kind of surprised you like it though.

497
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 5: I like it. It's like he calls himself half country,

498
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 5: half grunge. He has a version of that song Hunger Strike. Shannon,

499
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 5: play that at the next brok. Yeah, you know for

500
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 5: a Temple of the Dog.

501
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got to cover for that.

502
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 5: Okay. I really like this guy. Now. I know, like

503
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 5: some of these modern country people that don't like him,

504
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 5: but I've listened to a lot of his album and

505
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 5: it's all about like the decline of rural America. And

506
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 5: I think it's really good. Named Stephen Wilson. If you

507
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 5: look at him, he looks like he's from the Hollers.

508
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 3: Any song that's got the line they got the same

509
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 3: nicotine pouring out their pores exactly.

510
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 5: That's a great lie. And he says his point is

511
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 5: there's not a lot of people named Gary these days,

512
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 5: because Gary is a dude in your town who would

513
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 5: like fix everything. Yeah, and that's true. That give me

514
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 5: the youngest person you can think of named Gary.

515
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 2: Well, my dad's Gary.

516
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 5: Not you give me somebody under forty named Gary.

517
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 2: No, my childhood best friend was Gary.

518
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 5: Also not young. Stop acting like you're young. Anyone under forty?

519
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 5: Can you, all right? Anyone under forty named Debbie?

520
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 4: Hmmm?

521
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 5: His point is small towns used to be filled with

522
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 5: Gary's that would fix your car and stuff, Debbies that

523
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 5: would do your hair. Yep, But we're at it like

524
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 5: those people don't like our economies taking those people away.

525
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: We needed some more Gary.

526
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 5: What is this world's better with Gary's? If we need

527
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 5: more Gary, we don't have any more Garys. Would you

528
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 5: name your kid Gary? Now? No, would you name your

529
00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 5: kid Debbie.

530
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 4: Now no, does that it be called the pre show

531
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 4: a few minutes ago?

532
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: It's funny that you said, well, no, no, but I

533
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: bet she was over forty probably yeah, hope.

534
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 5: So what about all your Atlanta cool guys, Any Gary's,

535
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 5: any Debbies?

536
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 2: Every Gary I can think of is over forty.

537
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 5: We just at some point collectively decided we're not using

538
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 5: that name any.

539
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: But it's not a like an you're thinking like, It's.

540
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 5: Not like Ophelia, yeah, or Oga.

541
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: It's just a name that just kind of just goes away.

542
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 5: So I like that song, and I like him so far.

543
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 5: Now I saw he did a song with Hardy Shannon

544
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 5: that almost made me say I didn't like him anymore.

545
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 5: I think now, I think he did a song with

546
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 5: Shaboozie too, and I didn't like that. But he has

547
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 5: a song of like grunge covers, and then I do

548
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 5: like that song. All right?

549
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 4: Well his name again?

550
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 9: Uh?

551
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 5: Steven Wilson Junior okay A five nine two eighth twenty

552
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 5: two eighty seven. What person writes, Matt, What all your

553
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 5: callers are saying is Mark Boat just needs common sense.

554
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 5: He plays like a smart guy who's never actually watched

555
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 5: a game. However, Jalen Mo should play forty minutes, take

556
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 5: Oway should play forty minutes, and a lot of guys

557
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 5: we play shouldn't play at all. Do you agree with that?

558
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 2: I do agree with some of that. He goes by

559
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 2: the analytics where you know you make these substitute and

560
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: these mass substitutions. Midway through the first half, you try

561
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 2: to rest your legs so you're ready to be into

562
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: the game.

563
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 5: The most time we rest our legs, we're down fifteen.

564
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter how our legs are.

565
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: It's too late. You got to play your best players.

566
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: You can't afford to get down twenty again in the

567
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 2: first half.

568
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 5: Healthy though, for that second half when we're down twenty, yeah,

569
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 5: healthy legs.

570
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 2: So it is now out of the six, Like Power

571
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 2: five teams, we've been down by twenty in the first

572
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: half four four of the six games.

573
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 5: For it's seven four of the seven.

574
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: That's how can that be?

575
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 4: Man?

576
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: You're we're better than that. I think we're better than that.

577
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 5: I don't know if we're good, but we're not as

578
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 5: bad as we're playing.

579
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: Agree.

580
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 5: So what I would say is I think our roster build,

581
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 5: I thought this team could make a final four I

582
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 5: think our roster mistakes have made it to where that's

583
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 5: not gonna happen. That's on the building of the roster.

584
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 5: But losing these games and getting blown out is on

585
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 5: the coaches. Yeah, that's the way I look at it.

586
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 5: Maybe not being elite is on your decisions on who's

587
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 5: on the team. But we should be better than we are.

588
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 5: There's no excuse the way they're playing. There's just not Roy.

589
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 10: Go ahead, Roy, I can take them right quick. Well

590
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 10: I'm here. Uh, will Stein don't have to show those

591
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 10: people his dream. All they gotta do is watch Oregon

592
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 10: play and that shows them. Now. I got a comment

593
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 10: about Mark Pope. If he doesn't win too many games,

594
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 10: the money people will get tired of him and buy

595
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 10: him out. They bought out Stoops down Punts, and we'll

596
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 10: come back and make your Kentucky fans happy. We're not happy.

597
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 10: I'll get off your listens to appreciate it.

598
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they're not gonna I don't. I don't

599
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 5: see a scenario Popes not to coach next year. But

600
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 5: I will say this, the thing that made Billy Gillespie

601
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 5: not be the coach after two years was other stuff

602
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 5: besides losing Mark's not anywhere close to that stuff. But

603
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 5: I don't understand these interviews. The thing that Mark had

604
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 5: going for him was that.

605
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 7: You know, personaal charismatic exactly, Tom, So what did you

606
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 7: tell your team in the locker room?

607
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 5: A lot of things like, that's just a rude answer, Shane.

608
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 5: And that's just a rude answer, period. That's it. I

609
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 5: don't there's no there's nothing you can say to me

610
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 5: that doesn't say that's rude. And then the second thing, Uh,

611
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 5: what is it you need to improve on for the

612
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 5: next game. That's a long list. That's rude. That is

613
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 5: just rude. It's rude to Tom. It's also rude to

614
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 5: the Kentucky fans. They're sitting there listening to you, saying, hey, coach,

615
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 5: make us feel better about this, and you don't get

616
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 5: to then hide in a hole. Let me let me

617
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 5: give you an example. If your govern I nerve Kentucky.

618
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 5: You may have a bad day. Okay, you may be

619
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 5: mad about something, but then if something happens that's important,

620
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 5: you gotta suck it up and you gotta talk about it. Yep,

621
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 5: that's the job. This is not nearly as important as that,

622
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 5: but it's the same thing. You play thirty one games

623
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 5: a year. Mark, that's it, thirty one thirty one times

624
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 5: a year. You gotta look in that mirror, take a

625
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 5: deep breath and talk. That's not too much to ask

626
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 5: for five point six million dollars a year. And I

627
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 5: know you're upset. You lost. We're upset, but you owe it.

628
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 5: You gotta talk. That's that's the deal. And I said

629
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 5: this after the game, and I mean it. Go look

630
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 5: at the coaches when things have gone down. You can

631
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 5: always tell when things are falling apart by how they

632
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 5: act after the games. When things got bad for Tubby

633
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 5: what used to happen on his calling show. He stopped

634
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 5: taking call stopped taking calls, and former players would come in.

635
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: Uh huh.

636
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 5: That's kind of how you knew that Tubby air was

637
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 5: coming to it. What happened at the end of the

638
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 5: Billy era? After games he started being a jerk to people. Yeah,

639
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 5: he started saying, I'm not an ambassador for Kentucky, right.

640
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,959
Speaker 5: Janine Edwards and Jerry Tipton interviews You saw, yep, this

641
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 5: is in the University of Jody Meeks. What happened to

642
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 5: the end of colire He just started skipping didn't even

643
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 5: do it. He just started walking out and saying, I

644
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 5: ain't doing it now. I don't think we're at the

645
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 5: end of the Pope, Ara, I don't think of that.

646
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 5: But this the pattern of when things start getting bad

647
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 5: in the postgame interviews, it starts to be a pattern. Ryan,

648
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 5: How could you not see that right here?

649
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: You know, just what you just laid out is very

650
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: similar to what we've gone through. You know, in life

651
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: you face adversity, how you handle adversity, how you dictates

652
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: your legacy, and the way he's handling it right now.

653
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: Like I said earlier, why would guys want to come

654
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: play for a coach that acts like a little baby.

655
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's it's It sounds bad to say,

656
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 5: but Shannon mark Mope is a good I actually think

657
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 5: before the season you called him accidentally, Ryan park Mope did.

658
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 5: But maybe you.

659
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: Right now, I don't want it to fit. I don't

660
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: want this to be the situation where he is that.

661
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 3: We said we want our coach to hurt and to

662
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 3: feel that. I do, but but but it's on a

663
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 3: different level. I feel like, but you.

664
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 5: Don't get to do that right Like, you know, if

665
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 5: you have a family member in the hospital. You're very sad.

666
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 5: You might want to go out and cry, but you

667
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 5: got to be strong for that family member in the right.

668
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 5: They need you to be the strong one, right. Be

669
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 5: sad in your own time, you know, but be strong

670
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 5: for the person sitting there.

671
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 2: Even be strong for the rest of your family that's

672
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: sitting there.

673
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 5: That's exactly right now. This isn't nearly as serious as that.

674
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 5: But you are the one that has to be strong.

675
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 5: Your players might be sad, they're kids, Fans might be sad,

676
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 5: but you have to get up there and do the thing.

00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 2: And to all people. Do it with Tom Leach with

694
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,520

00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 5: you Yeah?

00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 4: I like this cover too.

697
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 5: I think this is a great cover. I listened to

698
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 5: it on my plane ride yesterday. This is like one

699
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 5: of the most underrated ninety songs in my opinion. Right,

700
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 5: I don't mind stealing bread from the mouths of decadence,

701
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 5: but I what is it? Don't want to steal from

702
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 5: people with nobody. I don't remember what the second one

703
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 5: that I don't mind seeing miles of decadades, but I well,

704
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 5: if I wasn't on the radio, we get it. But

705
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,959
Speaker 5: I think this is a great cover, don't you?

706
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah yeah. I haven't heard many people cover this song,

707
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 3: so it's a hard.

708
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 5: Song to cover. Do you sing it? This sounds like

709
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 5: the kind of thing you would.

710
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 3: Sing anything that's Chris Cornell, I'm probably not gonna sing it.

711
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 5: You just think you can't get it.

712
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 4: Well, his range is crazy, Yeah, so yeah, probably what.

713
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: Is he gonna be a real bird? Who is Stephen

714
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 2: Wilson Junior?

715
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 5: Well, if he is, i'mgoing that that can get me

716
00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 5: to real bird.

717
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

718
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 5: I wanted to go like, he's got shows for the

719
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 5: next three months, all all sold out because they're all

720
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 5: in like smaller venues.

721
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: I like this one better than the Gary song, well

722
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 2: because you've heard it before, because this is like an

723
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:11,479
Speaker 2: older song.

724
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 5: He if I'm nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven,

725
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 5: one person says. Mark Pope says that the guys hit

726
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 5: a wall two and a half minutes in, and that's

727
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 5: why he subs out two and a half minutes in

728
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 5: and we hit a wall? What is this hockey?

729
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: Do other teams just magically not hit a wall two

730
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: and a half minutes in.

731
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 3: That goes back to conditioning, which I did not think

732
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: would be a problem at all.

733
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he comes Patino school of conditioning. All right,

734
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 5: let's talk football. Cutter Bowley transfers. Were you upset?

735
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: I was? I hated to see it go. I mean

736
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 2: I kind of understand, but I hated to see it

737
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: because I thought he could be a really good quarterback

738
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 2: here and kind of help us build for the future.

739
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 5: So here's what I was told about what happened with

740
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 5: Cutter Bowley. He was offered basically numbers. To me, when

741
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 5: I see numbers, you know my view, I think they're

742
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 5: all exaggerated. Yeah, I think they're closer to the truth

743
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 5: now than they were a few years ago, because you

744
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 5: have rev share, right, But the thing you have to

745
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 5: remember is we evaluate this stuff. We're under a salary cap. Basically,

746
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 5: basically you're getting seventeen eighteen, nineteen million dollars. So not

747
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 5: only when you're talking about numbers. The only way you

748
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 5: can go over that is if you're in ale will

749
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 5: raise money for guys. So I think will Stein looks

750
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 5: at this roster. I don't think. I know. I've talked

751
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 5: to some folks around the program. They look at this

752
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 5: roster and they say, well, there's a lot of stuff

753
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 5: we got to get this year, and we also have

754
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 5: to build for the future. And that Cutter bowl Ley

755
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 5: they thought was good, but he wasn't good enough to

756
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,479
Speaker 5: give a huge percentage of the salary cap, right, right,

757
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 5: so they basically Cutter probably wanted. Was told Cutter got

758
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 5: offered two two and a half million dollars in Arizona State, Kentucky,

759
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 5: I think was willing to offer him a million. Cutter

760
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 5: base said can you get it closer? And they said no,

761
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 5: and that was that.

762
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 2: Couldn't get closer. And they're going to bring in other

763
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 2: quarterbacks to compet.

764
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 5: And they were going to bring in somebody else. Yeah,

765
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 5: So that combination, I think they may be thought, we

766
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 5: want to spend that on two guys. If you're going

767
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 5: to be one of them. Yes, I can see why

768
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 5: Cutter would say, I want to be the guy. Yeah,

769
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 5: But if will Stein doesn't want him to be the guy,

770
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 5: will Stein should get to pick his quarterback, don't you think.

771
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 2: I think he's proven that he can is a good

772
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 2: developer of quality quarterbacks. So if he's got somebody his

773
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: eye on somebody, you can't argue against that, I don't think. So.

774
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 7: I hate to see Cutter god to but.

775
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 5: But I understand.

776
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 2: I understand. I hate it, but I understand.

777
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 5: All right. So now, then Sam Levitt the number one

778
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 5: quarterback in the portal. They had to load their visits.

779
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 5: So I want to make sure, as people sort of

780
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 5: evaluate the portal. We had a ton of good guys

781
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 5: come the first day. I think there's a sense that

782
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 5: because those dudes haven't committed yet, some people are like, oh,

783
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 5: will Stein failed. No, he may or may not get

784
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 5: those guys. But they all came the first day because

785
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 5: it was the only time will Stein could do it

786
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 5: because he's got to go back to Oregon. Correct, So

787
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 5: normally these visits would be spaced out over two weeks.

788
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 5: He couldn't do that. Didn't do it. He had to

789
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,919
Speaker 5: do it at first because he's got to go put

790
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 5: Now that's the bummer of having a coach who's still

791
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 5: in the playoffs. But that's why it happened. Yeah, so

792
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 5: they're not losing. They just had to do this immediately.

793
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 5: They didn't have a choice. They basically took their top

794
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 5: choices and said you gotta come right now. Other people

795
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 5: will wait on will you can you come right now?

796
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 5: We'd like ten of you right now, and like four

797
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 5: of those guys have already committed.

798
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a pretty good success rate at it.

799
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 5: They actually have had a great success rate. They brought

800
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 5: in I think twelve or thirteen guys, and four of

801
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 5: them have committed and they still expect they'll get a

802
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 5: couple more. So that's pretty good success rate. Now, quarterbacks

803
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 5: the most important thing. Sam Levitt comes. Here's what I'm

804
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 5: told on Sam Levitt. I think this is good information. Okay.

805
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 5: They sam Levitt has expressed to them he wanted to

806
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 5: play for Willstein. They have said to him, we want

807
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 5: you to be here. It was between Kentucky and Texas Tech.

808
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 5: I think he comes here. If it's Kentucky and Texas Tech.

809
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 5: Texas Tech was offering twice as much money. He was

810
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 5: still giving indications he would come here, but he did

811
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 5: want to wait and see what the market gives. LSU

812
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 5: does not get their top choice. LSU's waiting to see

813
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 5: if someone gets in the portal. I've been told it's

814
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 5: Ty Simpson, that God Alabama. Until then LSU says, all right,

815
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 5: sam Levitt, now you come here, and so now LSU

816
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 5: wall for more money because they are better in Aisle

817
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 5: than we do. And it's LSU and it's Lane Kiffin.

818
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 5: Kentucky still thinks they have a very good shot at him.

819
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 5: He's visiting LSU today. We might lose him. I would

820
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 5: understand if we lost him. Its Lane Kiffin. It's LSU,

821
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 5: and they will offer him more money. Yeah, But the

822
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 5: fact that we're even in that, the fact we're even

823
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 5: in the contest when we've been terrible the last couple

824
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 5: of years. A new quarterback, a new coach who's never

825
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 5: coached before, and that's Lane Kiffin at LSU. Ryan, I'm

826
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 5: kind of amazed, and they're offering more money. I'm kind

827
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 5: of amazed we're even in the conversation, aren't you. Yeah.

828
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 2: I think Levitt just wanted to play for will Stein,

829
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: had Stein develop him as a quarterback more than anything.

830
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 2: Look what he did with bon Nix, and these guys

831
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 2: are Dante morning.

832
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 5: Understand if he takes the LSU get.

833
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 2: There's maybe just a couple other coaches he might pick

834
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: over will Stein at this point, and Lane Kiffin would

835
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 2: be one of them.

836
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 5: And if if Ty Simpson enters, the portal might be different. Yes,

837
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 5: the chamblist kid at Old Miss re signed with Old Miss.

838
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 5: I saw that this morning, So that's an option. I

839
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 5: think as she was interested in that goes away.

840
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: So Levitt did cancel his visit to Tech.

841
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 5: He did. I think if it was all, if it

842
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 5: was going to be Kentucky and Texas Tech. Kentucky was

843
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 5: going to get him, but now it's Kentucky and LSU

844
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 5: and we'll see. Let me also say they have backup options.

845
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 5: I've been told they have two, one of which they

846
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 5: feel really good about. But they specifically told me we

847
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 5: we can't know what we can't you can't know. So

848
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 5: there's an assumption sometimes that people go move on to

849
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 5: the next guy. They got it, they knew there was

850
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 5: a possibility they can lose this kid. But I, by

851
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:41,959
Speaker 5: the way, I will say, I don't think they've given

852
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 5: up on him.

853
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 2: So it is the reports that the visit with Levitt

854
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: here it went really well.

855
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 5: He was here until he was here from Friday night

856
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 5: till Sunday morning, throughout Sunday morning, including stayne after Stein left.

857
00:40:55,160 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 5: Stein already gone back to Oregon. He's stayed. So I

858
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 5: think he loved it. But also you could understand if

859
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 5: I'm offered a better program with a coach that has

860
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 5: more pedigree and more money.

861
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 2: Be tough to turn that down.

862
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 5: It's tough to turn that down. I will say this though,

863
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 5: if he does turn it down, then that means Will

864
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 5: Stein's a heck of a sales guy. If you can

865
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 5: turn to get him to turn down better program, better pedigree,

866
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 5: and more money.

867
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 2: More money that would be pretty amazing. Tells you what

868
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 2: Filevitt thinks of will Stein as a coach.

869
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 5: I've said this, I feel good about where things are

870
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 5: set up for next year, but when it comes to

871
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 5: we'll have to see about coaching. I've not seen him coach,

872
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 5: but for program building, I've gotten a sense this weekend

873
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 5: of how they're doing stuff. Remember how how much we

874
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 5: complained about unorganized the other group was, Yeah, this is

875
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 5: the exact opposite. We're running it like a pro franchise now,

876
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 5: which I like a lot. We'll take a break, come

877
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 5: back number two K. Sorry,
