A shocking chain 25 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 3: of events, but one that I think ultimately can be 26 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: a positive for Kentucky. A lot of folks are writing 27 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 3: in for questions, and I want to hear what the 28 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 3: general public thinks. And we're going to open up the 29 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 3: phones here in just a minute. Let's talk about this. 30 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 3: Just yes or no answer? Is Kentucky? Was this a 31 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,919 Speaker 3: good thing to happen for Kentucky long term? 32 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 4: See I'm in the boat that My answer is yes. 33 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 4: I just think the timing was right. It was, like 34 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 4: I said, time for cal to get a fresh start, 35 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 4: and time for Big Blue Nation to get a fresh 36 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 4: start in the program, to get a fresh start. So 37 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 4: it's like, I think the timing is probably right. 38 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 3: So I go, yes, do you think it's like with Tubby? Yes, 39 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 3: that was the right That was certainly the right time 40 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: for that. 41 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 4: And it's so early familiar where Tubby's you know, early 42 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 4: years were so good and then kind of tapered off 43 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 4: at the end. A school comes out of nowhere at 44 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 4: courts him and boom just like that, super quick and 45 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 4: half a day he's gone. 46 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 3: It's also worth noting, though they got turned down by 47 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: Chris Beard and Jerome Tang before they went to Cal, 48 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 3: which is a really strange chain of abits. Was the 49 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 3: Arkansas Little Rock No, I mean, their other contender was 50 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 3: Arkansas Little Rock and Will Wade. Those were the two 51 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: that they were looking at. Was Arkansas Little Rock guy 52 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 3: and Will Wade. 53 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: What do you think, Yes, I do. 54 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 5: I think it was inevitable Cal was gonna run this 55 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 5: next season back with the same things that he's been 56 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 5: doing the last four or five years, and we would 57 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 5: have just been in the same situation a year from now. 58 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 5: So it saves Kentucky thirty four million dollars and now 59 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 5: Kentucky can jump in that pool and find somebody else. 60 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: So let's go back to my optimistic view. 61 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 3: All right, Okay, So first of all, this next year, 62 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: if you were ever going to lose Cow first, we 63 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: always knew, all of us knew the year Col left, 64 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 3: the next year we would lose all of our players. 65 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: We all knew that, right, That's part of the that's 66 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: part of the Cow wager. 67 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 3: You get good immediately, but then you collapse when it's over. 68 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: But now you don't have to collapse because of the 69 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 3: transfer portal. We can put a good team on the 70 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: floor next year. I mean, there are teams right now 71 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: that went to the Sweet sixteen or Elite eight that 72 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: had a completely different roster than they had this year. 73 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 3: South Carolina's women just won the national championship with a 74 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 3: completely different roster than the roster they won the national championship. 75 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: With last year. Like, you can go and do it. 76 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: So if there was ever gonna be a time for 77 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: him to leave, Ryan, this is as good as it 78 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 3: was gonna be. 79 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 6: So you know, they couldn't. 80 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 4: The new coach, whoever it might be, has that advantage 81 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 4: that other coach had not had it because they can 82 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 4: go rebuild with the transfer portal immediately. 83 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 3: Will we have any player on the roster now stay 84 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 3: or any of the freshmen coming in? Travis Perry, right, 85 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 3: he'd might Travis Perry, maybe Reed Shepherd pipe dream, but 86 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 3: maybe everyone else gone. 87 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: Assume that's happening. 88 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: Just assume we won't get any of the None of 89 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 3: the recruits will be here, none of the players currently 90 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: on the team. I think between me and you there 91 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: was only like two currently on the team that even 92 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: had a shot to come back anyway. I think DJ 93 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 3: Wagner might have come back, and I think Z might 94 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: have come back. 95 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 2: The rest of them, I think we're gone. 96 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 6: We assume that they're all gonna follow him to Arkansas also. 97 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 3: So I think some of them will, but I think 98 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 3: some of them might not. I mean, I think, you know, 99 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: you gotta want to live in Arkansas. Now, I do 100 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 3: think most of them will, maybe they all will. But 101 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 3: here's the thing. What made us think this was gonna 102 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 3: be any better next year? Like what made us think 103 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 3: relying on freshman next year was gonna be better than 104 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 3: relying on freshman this year? 105 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 6: We probably would have seen a lot of the same. 106 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: Been a lot of the same. 107 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it would have been probably a lot of the same. 108 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 3: Kentucky Basketball. Now, there are some things we've accepted for 109 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 3: ten years that are gonna change in a positive way. 110 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 3: Our ad is gonna have a relationship with the new coach. 111 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: Think about that. 112 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: Our football and basketball coaches are not gonna hate each other. 113 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 3: The football and basketball coaches despised each other for the 114 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 3: last three years, Like don't over they despised each other. 115 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 3: That's gone now right, Right, You're gonna have a coach 116 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 3: who talks to the local media. You're gonna have a 117 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: coach who does his pregame show. 118 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 6: How about that. 119 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 3: You're gonna have a coach that doesn't like run away 120 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 3: from being in public with folks like You're gonna have 121 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 3: a coach that's like cow was the first few years. 122 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 2: We haven't had that in a decade. 123 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 5: I get some players whose sole focus is on Kentucky 124 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 5: and not going to the NBA. 125 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 6: You're gonna get some. 126 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 3: Players who stay here for a little while. Yeah, I mean, now, 127 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 3: what are we gonna lose. We're gonna lose being the 128 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: guy that on draft night our coaches up there watching 129 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: all the dudes get picked, And while that was cool, 130 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 3: I'd like to be the one playing the night. 131 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 2: Right, How many of those good dudes for Purdue are 132 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:17,679 Speaker 2: gonna be drafted? 133 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 3: One, one, maybe three from Yukon? Would you rather be 134 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 3: playing tonight? 135 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 6: Yeah? 136 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 3: For sure, that's what we're gonna have. I think we'll 137 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 3: be back to that. I genuinely do. Somebody writes who's 138 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: gonna be in a Final four again? First cal or Kentucky? 139 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 5: Well, you know, kind of like you said, Matt, you 140 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 5: could just rebuild immediately. 141 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 3: Now you get the right coach, we'll be good next year. Now, 142 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: I think it would be unrealistic to say we're gonna 143 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 3: win a title. Good, But let me just let's go 144 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 3: say you get NATO's You don't think he can put 145 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 3: a team team together next year? 146 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 6: Certainly he did it this year. 147 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 2: He did it this year. 148 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 3: Their starting lineup is completely different than it was last year, 149 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: and he got him in the final four. 150 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 5: I mean, Cal may have to play his own in 151 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 5: the tournament. I mean the preparations on a different level 152 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 5: with some of the teams that we've seen in the 153 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 5: find You don't think on. 154 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 3: The transfer portal. Every single person out there now sees 155 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 3: that one of the maybe the best program in the 156 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 3: country has a lot of playing time available, need some players, 157 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: and need some players, right, I mean, I I just 158 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: see it as an opportunity. We're gonna lose Boogie Flann 159 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: and Jaden Qua. We're gonna lose those guys, and that stinks. 160 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 3: You know, I'd love to have them, But Ryan, this 161 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,679 Speaker 3: was coming one day anyway. Now it's just here now. 162 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 4: And buve we We've said fifteen times already. The timing 163 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 4: just seems to be best for all parties involved, including Cal. 164 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 4: It time for him to move on and get a 165 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 4: fresh start. I hate the fact it's in an sec rival, 166 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 4: but that's where he wants to go. 167 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 6: That's what the decision he made. 168 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 2: What go ahead. 169 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask you this because IVE had a couple 170 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 4: of people text me this. I'm just gonna they said basically, 171 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 4: they feel like a little bit of a fool from 172 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 4: that press conference there. 173 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: They should have never believed it to begin with. Again, 174 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 3: if you watched that press conference, if you watched that 175 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: meeting with Barnhart and Cal and thought that that meant 176 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 3: all was good, that's on you, man, Like you gotta 177 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 3: be like, remember what my reaction was after that. You 178 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 3: weren't here, I don't think, but you remember what my 179 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: reaction was after I saw that what. I'm glad they 180 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 3: did it, but it changed nothing for me because I 181 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 3: feel bad by the way. You guys can have a 182 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: seat wherever you want. I feel bad because like I'm 183 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 3: not trying to be but I want to say to 184 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 3: people I've been telling you guys, you cannot believe you 185 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 3: can believe what is told to you by public figures, 186 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 3: or you can just accept reality. 187 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 2: Those two guys did not like each other. 188 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 3: And them sitting there and doing a press conference or 189 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: doing an interview did not change that for me one bit. 190 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 4: Ryan did it, you know, because we knew, we knew 191 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 4: the behind the scenes. But I think a lot of people, 192 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 4: I think took it at their word. 193 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 3: But everybody's been telling people. They just didn't want to 194 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 3: believe it, you know. For all the Matt was like, angry, 195 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 3: what about Kyle Tucker? Why would he write all that 196 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 3: he was he was Cayle's guy for two years? Yeah, 197 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 3: why would TJ Bisner leave? 198 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 2: Why would j Lucas? Like the signs were there, you 199 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: just didn't want to hear some people. 200 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 6: Yeah. 201 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 2: So no, I don't feel like a fool because I 202 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: never thought it'd be anything anyway. But you didn't either. 203 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 4: No, but I think, you know, like one guy said, man, 204 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 4: and when Cal looked right in the camera and said 205 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 4: this is where I want to be. I want to 206 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 4: be here, he said. I believed him when he said that, 207 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 4: And now we find out he was talking to Ohio 208 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 4: State in February. 209 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 2: I did, I mean, I didn't believe him. 210 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 5: It was the same talking points from the radio show. 211 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think cal is a dishonest 212 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 3: or a bad person. 213 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 2: But have we not learned? 214 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 3: You couldn't believe what he said, the like Severe Wheeler's 215 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 3: coming back. 216 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 2: I mean like. 217 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 3: This was out for people to see. So no, I 218 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 3: was the only thing. Here's the only things I'm surprised about. 219 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 3: I'm surprised he went in conference and he's gonna have 220 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 3: to play here at RUP. That's the only thing I'm 221 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 3: surprised about. I thought it was possibly take another job. 222 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 3: I'm surprised he chose to take one where he's gonna 223 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 3: have to walk in here next year. 224 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 6: Did he also talk to USC? I saw that Florida 225 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 6: around some. 226 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 2: And that's the one I always thought he was gonna. 227 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 6: Tell I can see that that's the. 228 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: One I thought he was gonna take. But you know, 229 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 3: this is this is going to be the right thing. 230 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 3: It just is that John cal Perry had a great 231 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: legacy here, but this was falling apart behind the scenes. 232 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: The the n Aisle thing they put up and asked 233 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 3: for a million dollars and they had fifty thousand. 234 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 2: They were shocked. You know who wasn't shocked? 235 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 4: Me? 236 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 2: I knew that was gonna happen. 237 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 3: They had no they had no idea where this fan 238 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 3: base was. That's the biggest, the biggest telling point is 239 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 3: this Caliperry and his folks had no idea how deep 240 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 3: the fan base was frustrated because they had cut themselves 241 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 3: off from the fan base. So when the Oakland game hit, 242 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 3: I've talked about this, you could feel it in the building. Yeah, 243 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 3: it were any of you there. When he walked off 244 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 3: the court, Drew and I looked at each other. 245 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: Game was over. 246 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: I think you know they were fouled at the end 247 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 3: a little bit, and we were about to walk off, 248 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 3: and I said, Drew, hang on, I want to watch 249 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 3: the last minute because I think this might be the 250 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 3: last time we ever see cow. And there's a video 251 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 3: I posted last night. It's kind of eerie actually of 252 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 3: him walking off the court. CBS like doesn't talk and 253 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 3: just lets the sound run. It was great directing by 254 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 3: whoever did that. And as you walk off in the building, 255 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 3: you could just feel it was different. You could just 256 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 3: feel this fan base it's not gonna work. 257 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: You could feel it in there. 258 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a fan leading on with a railing 259 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 4: as he walked off, said Cal, is this the gold standard? 260 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 4: Is this the gold standard? 261 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 2: Cal? 262 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 6: He just you know, yelling at him as he walked off. 263 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 6: That the floor of that time. 264 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: So what about the report from John Fanta that cal 265 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 3: Perry said he didn't feel wanted or supported. 266 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 5: Well, it goes back to winning. I think that would 267 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 5: change if he was winning actual games. But you know 268 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 5: what was telling for me is when that store owner 269 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 5: called KSR that wanted to give money for Nil and 270 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 5: couldn't do it. I mean, it seems like cal has 271 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 5: absolutely checked out in several different aspects of coaching, and 272 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 5: now it reinvigorates both sides. 273 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 3: Last night I couldn't sleep, so I was trying to 274 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 3: think of like what today was gonna be like, and 275 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 3: I decided I am going to write a post today. 276 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 3: I made a commitment to ours, to myself, and here 277 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: it's here. I'm gonna give you the gist of it. 278 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 3: Cal Perry's not the coach here anymore, in large part 279 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 3: because he lost three guys Dwayne Peevee, Kenny Payne and 280 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 3: John Ropick that represented the three parts of his personality 281 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 3: that were a little weak, but they made up for it. 282 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 3: And then when he lost those three. He never replaced it, 283 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 3: and that's why he's not the coach here anymore. With Dwayne, 284 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 3: he lost the connection to the fans and the administration. 285 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 3: A guy who Dwayne felt the pulse of Big Blue Nation. 286 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 3: He understood it. He understood what the fans thought, and 287 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 3: he understood how Mitch thought. And he was able to 288 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 3: communicate callisms to Mitch and the fans and they trusted him, 289 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 3: rusted him. 290 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: It worked. 291 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 3: With Kenny Payne, he lost the guy who understood how 292 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 3: to deal with these players. Cow's a lot and Kenny 293 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 3: Payne was the player whisper. I know he didn't succeed 294 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 3: at Louisville, but what Kenny Payne would show up at 295 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 3: the gym and two in the morning and work these 296 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 3: players out. And when Cal was screaming at people and 297 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 3: they were like, I can't deal with this anymore, they'd 298 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 3: go to Cal, or go to Kenny Payne and he 299 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 3: would help them. And then with Robic, they lost the 300 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 3: basketball mind. They lost the X and O guy who goes, 301 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: all right, we're playing Florida this week, what's their weakness? 302 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 3: How do we exploit it? And Cal would listen to him. 303 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 3: They lost all three of those guys in one year 304 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 3: from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty, and it was never 305 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 3: the same. No, it was never the same those three. 306 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 3: If you want to say, at the end of the day, 307 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 3: what did it end losing those three guys back to 308 00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: back to back. 309 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 2: To me, he is ultimately what did end the callier? 310 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, because they kind of all just left it round 311 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 4: the same time. That's a big void to fill now 312 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 4: going into this season. This time last week talking about 313 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 4: Kol's got to get some shooters, he's got to get 314 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 4: a game prep guy. 315 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 6: He's got to make some staff change. 316 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 3: They were gonna make no changes. They were gonna make 317 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: no staff changes. When I heard that, I could not 318 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: believe it. I could not believe but that that's what 319 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: was gonna happen. He's gonna you've already seen the reports. 320 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 3: He's putting Brad on the staff at Arkansas. 321 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 2: He wanted to do that here. I'm not sure that 322 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: UK was gonna let him or not. I don't know, 323 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: but he wanted to. 324 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 3: And I'll note Tubby Smith when he left, what was 325 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: one of the issues Saul. 326 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: He wanted to put Saul on the staff. Yeah. 327 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 3: Time is a circle. I mean, like time is a circle. 328 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 3: Sometimes it repeats itself. We'll take a break, We're gonna 329 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: open the phones A five nine two eighty seven. What 330 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 3: do you think about all this? This is Kazonger. I 331 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 3: like this song. It ends with him saying he won't 332 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 3: go back to Arkansas. I don't think I'm gonna go 333 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 3: back to Arkansas either, although Bobby Bones is gonna join 334 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 3: us at ten thirty. He'll kind of tell us how 335 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 3: he thinks it went down on the Arkansas side, which 336 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: I'm actually fascinated, Like how did it all play out 337 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 3: for Arkansas? 338 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: You know? 339 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, whether you know the old story was when they 340 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 4: Kentucky hired Eddie Sutton from Arkansas. Eddie said something like 341 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,359 Speaker 4: I'd crawled to Lexington to take that job from Arkansas. 342 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 2: Well, unless you've been Totville, you ain't crawling. 343 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 3: There's gonna be you getting broken glass on the side 344 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 3: of the road if you do that, So you better 345 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 3: be careful. It's gonna be it'll be interesting, remember it, 346 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 3: like that's that's a good job. But they're gonna have 347 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 3: expectations now. I mean they've been to the Elite eight 348 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 3: two in the last four years. They haven't been terrible. 349 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 5: And they had two coaches turned them down before Cal 350 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 5: and Chris Beard and Drumtown. 351 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 3: And also remember Andy Enfield. Enfield of USC goes to 352 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 3: s MU. Yeah, when I heard that, I thought that 353 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 3: it's weird. Why is the coach at USC going to SMU, 354 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 3: which leads to Muscleman going to USC, which leads to 355 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 3: Cal to Arkansas. It's amazing how the dominoes end up working. 356 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 3: One person writes, Matt, what do you think he meant? 357 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 3: Mitch mint or excuse me? Cal meant when he said 358 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 3: he didn't have support here? I think he meant two things, 359 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 3: fan support and in ile. I think the anile thing. 360 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 3: I think they just I think he expected, well, I 361 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 3: know he expected. He expected all the people that have 362 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 3: been giving to football. Football has killed it with the Anniles. 363 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: Now. 364 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 3: I mean, they still got to do better. They got 365 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 3: their own nil issues in terms of money raising, but 366 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 3: they've done a lot better than I think anybody thought. 367 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 2: And I think Cal was like, where's the basketball? But 368 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 2: here's the thing. 369 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 3: People who give that kind of money, you gotta treat 370 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 3: him a certain kind of way, you know what I mean, 371 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 3: Like it's their money, and Cal. 372 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 2: Just has kind of done his own thing for a long. 373 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 4: Time, and those big money people with a new coach 374 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 4: probably will be more. 375 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 6: Inclined to donate more money. 376 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 3: Mark Stoops wins a big game, all right, Let's say 377 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 3: Mark Stoops wins a big game. 378 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 2: You know what he does. 379 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 3: He has the biggest donors and Nile boosters to his 380 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 3: house and he hosts them for a celebration. You think 381 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 3: John cal Perry does that, No, And that makes a 382 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 3: difference people. How you treat people matters to people, and 383 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 3: I think I think that's been a huge thing. Mark 384 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 3: Stoops and Vince Merriw have individually cultivated football donors in 385 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 3: a way. 386 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 2: That cal has not in basketball. 387 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 3: And I think he thought UK would take care of itself, 388 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 3: and it does with kids out of high school, but 389 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 3: I don't think it does with the transfer portal. 390 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: And I think that's where they were surprised. All right, 391 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 2: who's up first? John, Nate? Nate? What do you think? 392 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: Nate wowing? 393 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 7: Like being the first call on this type of a day, 394 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 7: no pressure, having an eclipse today and all this other craziness. 395 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 2: Going on in the world.

If this happened two 440 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 3: years ago, Mitch would not have hired a coach like 441 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 3: Cal He'd have gone and hired Scott Drew this time. 442 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 3: I think everybody's on the table. He knows it's an 443 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 3: inflection point. I think everybody's on the table, and it's 444 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 3: just a question of the money won't be an issue though. 445 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 3: We'll take a break. Come back, Bobby Bones is going 446 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 3: to join us. We'll take your calls. This is KSR. 447 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: Welcome back Tekey Sports Radio. 448 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 3: All right, Bobby Bones, iHeartRadio personality on every television show 449 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 3: in America. And a friend of mine is here with us, 450 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 3: and Bobby's a huge Arkansas fan. So let's just start 451 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 3: with this. Bobby cal Perry, coach Arkansas. Did it make 452 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 3: you happy? 453 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 8: Yes, it makes me very happy. But I think what 454 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 8: makes me extremely happy is the money that they've committed 455 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 8: to nil with John Calipari. I mean, if we get 456 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 8: cal that's awesome. We wanted to splash higher. Obviously it's 457 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 8: all about splash. Then it's you know, substance after splash. 458 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 8: But the fact that they've committed so much money to 459 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 8: NIL with a guy who obviously you know better than anyone, 460 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 8: can use that money in amazing ways. Like I'm super 461 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 8: pumped today. I mean, Matt and I were talking last 462 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 8: night and I said, hey, don't say anything I'm saying. 463 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 8: I started to not get texts back about midday yesterday, 464 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 8: which means not that people don't like me, but I 465 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 8: have a pretty good little system up there. I will 466 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 8: just say the high the big dollars, or the people 467 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 8: making decisions. And it's when I stop hearing texts back. 468 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 8: It means they can't tell me for a while more 469 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 8: than they don't want to tell me. And that's when 470 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 8: I figured that the Cal stuff was starting to really 471 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 8: come to a head one way or the other. 472 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 2: So that's mid afternoon. 473 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 3: So like now that you've had this morning, I know 474 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 3: you had your show, but like, how do you think 475 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 3: it went down? I mean, I know you don't know 476 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 3: for sure, but on the Arkansas side, how do you 477 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 3: think it went down? How'd they end up with Cal? Well? 478 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 8: I think we aimed for Chris Beard because we felt 479 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 8: like we were getting Chris Beard, and I think every 480 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 8: indication was Chris Beard was coming to Arkansas and last 481 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 8: minute ole miss listen. That program has been using their 482 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 8: money very wisely. They've done it in football and basketball. 483 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 8: They made Beard a really great offer and he felt 484 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 8: that he would stay. So then we didn't have Beard, 485 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 8: And I can say that you know some of the 486 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 8: other candidates that they were talking to, and I'll just 487 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 8: name them in order, so I'm not associating myself with 488 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 8: any of them, but Will Wade or Jans or you 489 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 8: can go down. I was in a bit of conversation 490 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 8: with at least one of them, and it was going 491 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 8: pretty good where everyone kind of thought that one of 492 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 8: those options was going to be it. And my feeling 493 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 8: is that mister t who has a great relationship with 494 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 8: Coach Cal obviously and so to his sons, my feeling 495 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 8: is that for the first time in a while, mister 496 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 8: Tyson said, you know, I'm happy to inject some money 497 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 8: into the situation and did and you know, and listen, 498 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 8: Cal probably wanted to get out of Kentucky as much 499 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 8: as Kentucky wanted to get out of Cal. 500 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 2: Right, I feel like you think the Tyson Chicken guys. 501 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 8: Absolutely absolutely Arkansas, the I think Hunter, you're achech did 502 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 8: a great job of feeling after the Listen. This is 503 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 8: all speculation, right, speculation from like three different people that 504 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 8: are semi connected, because again, they stopped texting with me, 505 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 8: So I think that that was the closer I think 506 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 8: that is a lot of the money. I think that 507 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 8: is at least the backing of if you need it, 508 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,959 Speaker 8: I'm here, and that more than has been in the 509 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 8: past with mister Tyson and his sons. 510 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 3: Ever, so that's a big part of it too, right, 511 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 3: is that the Tyson Chicken family, who has not really 512 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 3: been donating in the current Arkansas era, has said, if 513 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 3: you get Cal, we'll start donating. 514 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 2: Is that kind of Is that correct? 515 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 8: I can't say that it's absolutely correct, because again I'm 516 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 8: not in those If I were recreating though that, if 517 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 8: I were rewriting the movie, I would say, yes, that 518 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 8: was that would be a scene that I would write 519 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 8: in going I would go to Cal party and listen. 520 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 8: I don't know, but Coach Cal probably let somebody know, hey, 521 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 8: I'm over here, because I know they started talking on 522 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 8: Friday last week.

It's like me being an Arkansas fan, 551 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 8: like I hate the Texas Longhorns, but it's because they're 552 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 8: the big brother in football like that, I hate Kentucky 553 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 8: as a basketball team, but not because I hate the 554 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 8: people in it, but because for years and years, you 555 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 8: guys have pounded us the same reason I hate Cal. 556 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 8: We'd love to see him.

And as I've said many times, I started 595 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 3: KSR before Cal, but he was a big, huge part 596 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 3: of taking it to the next level. 597 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 2: I will always owe him for that. 598 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 3: Things changed in the last four years not just with 599 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 3: me and him, just in general.

Another national championship Natos 626 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 8: would be awesome. 627 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 3: I'm rooting for Purdue tonight.

But as 721 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 10: far as I'm concerned, I'm a Cat fan, not a 722 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 10: Cow fan. I think Cow is a snake and I 723 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 10: think he's a fraud. I'll pay any amount of money 724 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 10: it takes to be enroupt to boo him out of 725 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 10: the building next season, and I hope he loses every. 726 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 3: Game he plays. All Right, Well, that's a harsh binion. 727 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 3: I appreciate the call. How much of the fan base 728 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 3: do you think has that view? So that's not the 729 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 3: view I have, But how many how much of the 730 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 3: fan base do you think has that harsh of an opinion? 731 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 6: I bet it's about fifteen percent? 732 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 2: Maybe, Yeah, what do you think, Bill? 733 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 5: I was gonna go higher. I was thinking twenty five percent. 734 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 3: You're I mean, you're the harsh And now we haven't 735 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 3: heard from Drew and Shannon. 736 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 2: I'll be interested. 737 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be interested what Drew's take is because I 738 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 3: can say that Drew's at the Masters. What a day 739 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 3: to miss. But the Masters is a good excuse. Drew 740 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 3: was more done than I was. I mean, if you're 741 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 3: ranking the KSR people and how done they were, I 742 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 3: think it's fair to say Drew was the most. 743 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 2: Number one, would you agree, Yes. 744 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 3: Tyler was pretty done too. Drew and Tyler were pretty done. 745 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 3: I think like, I'm the one that takes the public arrows, 746 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 3: but Drew was a lot more done than me. 747 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 2: Where were you? You think you were more or less 748 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 2: done than me? 749 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 4: I when the game ended, I was convinced there needs 750 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 4: to be a change, and then I kind of had 751 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 4: to let myself suck back into all right, well you 752 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 4: believe that. 753 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 6: I believe one more year, let's go. 754 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 2: But see, in some ways you are. 755 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 3: I think a lot of fans after it was over, 756 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 3: you're like, I'm done, and then you. 757 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 2: Saw him and you go, okay, one more time. 758 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 6: Look how much Look how friendly they are with each other. 759 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 6: They're big friends. 760 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 3: You're the reason we have political advertisements in this country. 761 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 2: It's you. We'll always go. Who is it that these 762 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 2: advertisements work on? 763 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 9: One? 764 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 2: Lemon is the answer to that question? Who's next? Cynthia? Cynthia, 765 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 2: go ahead. 766 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 9: I actually feel a sense of relief, but cal has 767 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 9: gone instead of the dread. I was feeling like it 768 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,879 Speaker 9: because I felt like next season was gonna be much 769 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 9: of the same. So my question is, do you feel 770 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 9: any sense of relief that he's gone since you didn't 771 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 9: have a relationship with him, and can you describe how 772 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 9: or if you'll attempt to build a close relationship with 773 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 9: the new incoming coach. 774 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 3: That's a good question. Let me put it like this, 775 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 3: and I appreciate the call. I Uh, this isn't about me, okay, 776 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 3: this is about UK. As I've said over and over, 777 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 3: if Kentucky wins, not only am I happy personally, it's 778 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 3: good for everything we do. So I would rather have 779 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 3: a coach that doesn't want anything to do with me 780 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 3: and we win, than a coach that is my friend 781 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 3: and we lose. I'm gonna be honest with you about that. 782 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 3: With that said, I was dreading next year a lot 783 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 3: because I thought it was gonna be unbelievably toxic all year. 784 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 3: I was dreading what happened this year, which is every 785 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 3: time Kentucky won a game, people are like, eat it, 786 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 3: Matt Jones, throw it yeah, John cal Perry up your face, 787 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 3: and like, I didn't enjoy that. And then I also 788 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 3: didn't like when we lost. If I said anything, people 789 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 3: will go, You're so unfair to cal your distraction. So yeah, 790 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,439 Speaker 3: it's stunk, and I was ready for that to be over. 791 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 3: I was now part of it will happen When Arkansas 792 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 3: wins games, people are gonna go run over Like I 793 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 3: didn't run anybody off. Cal ran himself off. With that said, 794 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,399 Speaker 3: I think a fresh start was needed. I do think 795 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 3: it's important to realize we won't be as good next 796 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 3: year as we hope. 797 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 2: Probably probably not, But I think we can be good. 798 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 6: Oh. Absolutely. The transfer pearl gives us that edge. 799 00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 5: Can we lose to Oakland in the first round? 800 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 3: That's see, that's my point for all this stuff of 801 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 3: who can we get to replace Cal. There's a lot 802 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 3: of people that can lose to Oakland. Everybody in this 803 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 3: bar can lose to Oakland. The question is who can win? 804 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 3: And there will be somebody out there. And I will 805 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 3: say this, whoever we hire, even if we don't like 806 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 3: the hire, we owe it to them to give them 807 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 3: a chance because once they're the coach, we need them 808 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 3: to succeed. Yes, whoever it is the worst, most self 809 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 3: destructive act is to hire a coach and then not 810 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 3: be happy before it even starts. 811 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 6: Right, So when the new coach come in, will have 812 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:41,760 Speaker 6: him on the show. 813 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 3: No, we'll have him on. Yeah, we'll have him on. 814 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 3: And I there's no way the relationship could get worse. 815 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 3: So you know we'll have him on Who's Next? Mark Anthony, 816 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:54,839 Speaker 3: Mark Anthony, go. 817 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 11: Ahead, Hey man, Hey Ram Bailey, Matthew, I was getting 818 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 11: a cup cafed one of my wife holler, cow's going 819 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 11: to Arkansas. So after I cleaned up my miss. It 820 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 11: was a sudden shock, but not a surprise. And I 821 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 11: wonder if the little meeting between him and Mitch was 822 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 11: a beard that they both knew he was going.
