1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It is the local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: It's late at night and it's a grumpy night around

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: the Big Blue Nation. We'll open up the phones. Uh,

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you. In a long day,

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: so it's probably not gonna be the longest postgame ever.

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: Excuse me, and I want to hear from you all

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: eight five ' nine two eight zho twenty two eighty seven.

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have frustration, so feel free to call

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: an air it. I think this may have been the

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the worst loss of the Stoops

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: ere I actually think that was two years ago to Vandy,

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: because I think that Vandy team two years ago wasn't

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: even good and this one is at least decent. But

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: I do think this is in terms of it's sort

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: of a culmination of a series of problems that we've

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: seen with Stoops teams for thirteen years. I think sort

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: of tonight was probably the worst performance wise that a

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: Stoops team has played. And the three things that I

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: think are the biggest problems with Stoops they all reared

20
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: themselves in this game. Number one is end of half.

21
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like We've talked about this on

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: this show twenty five times, but end of half management

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: it was it was awful. I mean I could break

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: down play by play where I think they screwed up.

25
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you start with the fact that you want

26
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: to clearly they wanted to do a drive at the

27
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: end of the first half, and you just let them

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: run thirty seconds off the clock without calling a timeout.

29
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: So if you didn't want to have a drive, you

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 1: screwed it up. But then when you got the ball

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: instead of as I thought the announcers, who did a

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: very good job tonight, Tom and Jordan Rodgers noted like,

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: instead of running the ball, which you're able to do

34
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: because of the new two minute warning, they throw it

35
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: three times. They make throws that are difficult throws. They

36
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: need at least one completion to require Vandy to call timeouts,

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: they don't get them, and they end up giving Vandy

38
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: the ball still though you get him in a third

39
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: and long and you have a chance to hold him

40
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: to a field goal, and you give up a twenty

41
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: two yard touchdown, which is you know, you just can't

42
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: have a worse result, and it's the difference in the game. Honestly,

43
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: honestly the end of the first half. And it's even

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: especially bad because they get the first ball in the

45
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: second half so consistently. During the Stoops era, clock management

46
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: and specifically end of the first half management has been

47
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: pretty much atrocious his entire time here. I think he

48
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: has a lot of strengths as a coach, but I

49
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: think he is just really really bad at clock management,

50
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: and it's never it's not gotten better during those during

51
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: these years. The second thing is disciplined, and well, actually,

52
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: let's say the second thing is penalties, which is kind

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: of an offset of discipline, but eleven penalties over one

54
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: hundred yards, As Tom Leech pointed out in his comments

55
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: when he was talking to Stoops, it's actually more than

56
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: one hundred yards when you consider the In the NFL,

57
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: oftentimes they'll they'll show you how long the play would

58
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: have been without the penalty. If you did that. For Kentucky,

59
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: it's probably one hundred and fifty to one hundred and

60
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: sixty yards in penalties. The offensive line, you know, I

61
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: sort of feel bad for Mensi and Cox because they're

62
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: just not good enough. And I clearly Kentucky doesn't feel

63
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: like they have other options because I mean the coaches

64
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: see that too. Between the two of them, five holding penalties,

65
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: five three of which were backbreaker penalties where if they

66
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: don't get the hold, it's a big play and just

67
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: just terrible penalties and they just get beat consistently. And

68
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: I you know, there's an old saying in foot, well

69
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: you could call a hold on every play. That's probably true,

70
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: but I'll be honest with you, they could call twice,

71
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: two times or three times as many on those guys.

72
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: They're just I think in Cox's case it's injury. I

73
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: feel bad for him, honestly. I think he's not really

74
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: healthy and doesn't have a lot of movement, but he

75
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: has to play, and then Menci has it's been an

76
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: issue since he's been here, So I mean, you just

77
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: I think Bush Hampden is sort of limited as a

78
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: play caller because he can't keep Brock in the pocket.

79
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: Brock has to roll around. He's not really great throwing

80
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: on the run, so and even when he rolls around,

81
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: there's a decent chance there's gonna be a hole because

82
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: they can't keep up with their men. So it's just

83
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: it's a disaster. So penalties, But what's more frustrating to

84
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: me than even the holding penalties are just the discipline penalties.

85
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: Dang key with a horrible penalty early in the game.

86
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't totally think the Doomus Johnson call was right,

87
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: but it still was an important penalty. The special teams penalty.

88
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if you don't get hold there number thirty

89
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: five and I don't even know who thirty five is,

90
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, but he had two. I mean,

91
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: how you only play on special teams plays? How do

92
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: you have two penalties for holding? And he did? You know,

93
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: that's that's awful. So double digit penalties, one hundred yards

94
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: and penalties huge problem. Discipline again has been an issue

95
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: often in the Stoops era, which is my number three thing.

96
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it is hard for me to not get

97
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: extremely frustrated at how a group who I'm not gonna

98
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: say they haven't had accomplishments. They have, but this current

99
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: group playing right now. I talked last year about undeserved

100
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: arrogance often during the year, and while they did beat

101
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: Old Miss, you know, you're coming off a bye and

102
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: you're playing a andy team and you're showcasing sort of

103
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: undeserved arrogance again, And when I say discipline, though I

104
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: don't just mean like acting in bad behavior, I mean

105
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: discipline of playing disciplined. Two snaps on special teams that

106
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: are you know, botched. I think one was probably more

107
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: on the holder, one was probably more on the snapper.

108
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: So actually Jordan Rodgers thought Alex Rainer should have kicked it.

109
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm not blaming that kick because he's been perfect this year,

110
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: but just in general, I mean, how do you have

111
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: two of those snap errors? I think had scored there

112
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: at the end, would you have even felt comfortable given

113
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: them the extra point kick there? I don't know. I

114
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: mean I was sitting there thinking because I always try

115
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: to think two or three plays ahead, like what are

116
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: they going to do if they score? I don't know

117
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: if you could have trusted him to kick a field

118
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: goal which is which is a disaster. And I think

119
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: if this is the second game like this in the

120
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: stoops there, I believe was it Old Miss Billy a

121
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: few years ago where we had the same problem We

122
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: couldn't snap, we couldn't hold the ball, and I think

123
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: we lost because of that. Maybe I think that was

124
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: the Coche. Yeah, I think that was the COVID year,

125
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: though I think we lost to Ole Miss solely because

126
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: of snapping. So you know, look, I listen to supers

127
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: of postgame comments. He does always take responsibility, but you

128
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: know he doesn't have answers as to why this stuff happens.

129
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: And Alpha bye week. Mark Stoops is five and eight,

130
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: and three of those wins are against really bad bandy teams.

131
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: So but now lost five and eight off of by

132
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: Kentucky is zero to six in their last six SEC

133
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: home games, two and ten in their last twelve. I mean,

134
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can say about that. Coaches get fired

135
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: for being two and ten in their last twelve SEC

136
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: home games. So, I mean, this has been a season

137
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: where if you just hold servant home against teams that

138
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: in theory you should be better than, you would be

139
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: five and one and instead now you are three and three.

140
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: You let's just assume you beat Murray State, so that's four.

141
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: You got to get two wins out of Florida, Auburn

142
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: and Louisville and just even be boweligible. I mean there's

143
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: a legitimate chance they won't even be Bowl eligible for

144
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: the first time since Mark Stoops what second third year,

145
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: and when you consider the resources that have been put

146
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: into the program, when you consider the way that Stoops

147
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: obviously famously said pony up, but also has admonished fans

148
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: to get there, show up, be loud. You know, these

149
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: performances are just they're just not acceptable. So you're at

150
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: the halfway point of the year. You're gonna play Florida

151
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: next week. Florida lost their store at the starting quarterback tonight,

152
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: but their backup might even be better. Who knows. I

153
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: think their backup will give us problems because he moves

154
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: around like Diego did. But you know, winning at Florida,

155
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: like Florida almost won at Tennessee tonight. So it's it's very,

156
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: very frustrating, and you know you're in a situation. I

157
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: know what they're to what people are going to say, Well,

158
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: you got to replace coach. First of all, we're halfway

159
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: through the year. There's still another second half. But also

160
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: for the same reasons in the conversation we talked about

161
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: cal even if you want to do that, you cannot financially.

162
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: So you're just in a tough spot. And I don't know,

163
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what they do right now. I will

164
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: say one of the things Stoops is good at is

165
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: after bad performances, they usually come back and play well.

166
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: So I actually expect expect Kentucky probably to play well

167
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: next week. But this you can't lose at home to

168
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: Vandy two straight times. Terrible performance and probably the most

169
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: undisciplined and disappointing one that Mark's had since the one

170
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: two years ago against Vandy eight five nine two eight

171
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: zero twenty two eighty seven. It's very late. I want

172
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: to hear what you all think. Let's take a break.

173
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: This is the Local Toy Dealers KSR post game show. Appreciate, uh,

174
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: I said, appreciate its call. Billy and I we're talking,

175
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: and I almost appreciated Billy. Billy asked me about uh, well,

176
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: actually you just ask on the air here. Well, we

177
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: would tell him what you asked me.

178
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: Well, I thought a lot of tonight was about the

179
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: penalty Stoops didn't accept. There was the one that Kentucky

180
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: got stopped on the goal line. There was an off

181
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: sides call that they could have taken.

182
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about that one first or.

183
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: A false start maybe it was it was.

184
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: Nose and offsides Kentucky. It was first and goal from

185
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: the six, they get to the one, it's off sides.

186
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: They declined the penalty, so it's second and goal, and

187
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: of course then we had the false start. He should

188
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: have taken the penalty because then they would get it.

189
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: Then it's first and goal at the three, but you

190
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: get an extra play. I think in that situation, the

191
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: extra play is more important than being on the goal line. Clearly,

192
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: in hindsight, if you have the false start, you want

193
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: to take it. But to be fair to him, he

194
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: didn't know there was going to be a false start.

195
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: But I still think I'm with you, Billy. I still

196
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: think you take it because you get four shots from

197
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: the three, right, so you want to do that. And

198
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: so yeah, I didn't understand that. I'm sure he thought, well,

199
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: we're at the goal line, we'll just punch it in.

200
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to back up to the three. But

201
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: then you the false start shows why you can't do that.

202
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, that false start. I was complaining

203
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: about Mensi and Cox on their holds, but it was

204
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: also Cox that got the false start, right or was

205
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: it Mensi? It was one of them, Like the fact

206
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: that they're not great blockers does not excuse a false start,

207
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: right there.

208
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, false start, then a bad throw and then I mean,

209
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: if plus they're.

210
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: Gonna be running through the middle like the tackles should

211
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: not be getting a false start. That's a huge mistake

212
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: by those guys. And then what was your second one?

213
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: Uh, the second one was after the key touchdown, there

214
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 2: was an off sides call. They could have gone for two,

215
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 2: and I don't.

216
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: Think you go for that. To your point, here's why

217
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: I don't. Okay, obviously he doesn't know they're gonna miss

218
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: the extra point. You go for two in that situation

219
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: if it's a fourteen point game, but if it's a

220
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: thirteen point game, you are assuming and you should assume

221
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna make the extra point. And so going for

222
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: two takes away the advantage of only being down thirteen

223
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: instead of fourteen.

224
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: But it allows them to allow a field goal on defense.

225
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're sitting there thinking you're gonna get a stop.

226
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: The analytics on that This happened in the NFL, I think,

227
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: not that long ago, on a thirteen point game and

228
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: they put up the analytics, and the analytics there says

229
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: kick the extra point. With if it's a fourteen point game,

230
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: the analytics say go for two. But in a thirteen

231
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: point game, because you assume you're gonna get a stop

232
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna score and you have a game

233
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: winning touchdown instead of a game time. Of course, when

234
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: you botch the snap, none of it matters anyway. So

235
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: all right, who's up first, Larry? Larry, go ahead, Larry, Hey, Matete, Yes,

236
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: what's up?

237
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 3: Just Colin say, you know, it's just another embarrassing loss.

238
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't use the call of these colling

239
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: shows that after leading to Bandy twice at home the

240
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: past two years, I mean, it's just another undisciplined Mark

241
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 3: Steps football team. I mean, I know in the post

242
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 3: game he said that, you know, you know I told

243
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: them all week we've got to be disciplined. So therefore

244
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: they go out and they be disciplined. That doesn't work

245
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: that way.

246
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, you're right. I mean he says that after

247
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: every undisciplined game, and at some point it's a pattern.

248
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: I mean, how many how many other coaches, Like there

249
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: are a lot of coaches who might have one undisciplined game, Larry,

250
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: every ten years, we have two or three a year.

251
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and you know the defense played well enough

252
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: to win the ball game. The offense, I mean, they

253
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: just they just shut themselves in their foot, That's all

254
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: you can say. And he's got to do something with

255
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 3: the discipline. I mean, you got to take players out,

256
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: put them on the sidelines. You're not going back in.

257
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: You put them back in for not disciplined enough, take

258
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: them back out again.

259
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: To your point about the defense in the offense, So

260
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: they what did they They scored twenty, we scored thirteen,

261
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: we scored thirty. I'm gonna give you a stat, Larry,

262
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: that'll drive you crazy, and it Vandy has not allowed

263
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,119
Speaker 1: this few points to an SEC team since twenty eighteen.

264
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: So we scored the fewest points against Vandy since any

265
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: SEC team since twenty eighteen. That's six seasons ago. So

266
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm with you. The defense was not great. This was

267
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: not the best, but it's good enough to win. You

268
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: gotta I think I said on the pregame show today

269
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: Van I think I literally said, Billy, Vandy's not gonna

270
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: score more than twenty, and they score exactly twenty. They

271
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: scored the high end. And I appreciate the call, Larry

272
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: for what I thought they could score. But you gotta

273
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: be able to score twenty one against Vandy. You certainly

274
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: can't just score thirteen.

275
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 4: Who's next, Sean, Sean, what's up?

276
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: Sean?

277
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 5: Hey, Matt just wanted to say, I'm more old school

278
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 5: than March two says, And after Dame Key gets that penalty,

279
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 5: he's not playing the rest of the night. I mean,

280
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 5: until the bench is the best motivator and it's a

281
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 5: way to get disciplined back. And I mean, and then

282
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 5: he had to fumble later, but I mean, I'm he's

283
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: not playing after that early in the game. Catch the

284
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 5: ball and get back to the huddle and let's do

285
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 5: it again.

286
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: Well, you know what I mean. We love Dame, but

287
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: Dame cost Kentucky six points tonight at least maybe more,

288
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: but certainly yeah, I mean, like he cost.

289
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 5: Me the fumbles the two that's what.

290
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm assuming, though I'm assuming they get three. They could

291
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: have gotten seven to your point, on both drives, so

292
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: it could have cost him fourteen. But at a minimum

293
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: in both situations, if he doesn't get the fumble and

294
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: the penalty, years you should get three. So he at

295
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: least cost him six. And it is him. And while

296
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: he is a great player and a great talent, like

297
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: that's just a reality, You're right, I mean, I don't

298
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: know that I would agree with you. He should he

299
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: should not play again. But those are two massive mistakes, right.

300
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 5: But I mean, we've got you talked about we got

301
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 5: to get disciplined. Well, the way you get disciplined is

302
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 5: consequences for your action, and that's true, and there doesn't

303
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 5: appear to be any consequence for bad actions.

304
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: I think that's a fair point. Appreciate the call. I

305
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: think that's a fair point, and I think that's been

306
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: If you listen to Max, he'll say one of the

307
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: reasons players love stoops is they can kind up be themselves.

308
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: They don't walk on eggs eggshells, and there's a positive

309
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: of that, but the negative may be what you're saying

310
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: right there. Who's next? Ryan? Ryan? Go ahead, right, y'all

311
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: doing tonight.

312
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 6: I know it's kind of tough, tough loss night, But

313
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 6: I'm like you all in the diehard blue fans, you know,

314
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 6: you when you're born into this when in Kentucky.

315
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 7: You're either blue or you're red.

316
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm blue.

317
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 6: You look in my veins, they're blue.

318
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 8: I blue blue. But I just got to say I'm

319
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 8: I called in after that George loss, and I said

320
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 8: that Kentucky needs to do something from the top down

321
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 8: because we're stuck in neutral with this.

322
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean, let's say you want to do that, the

323
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: conversation hang on a second, because there's some version of

324
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: this guy say, there'll be some version of this conversation, uh,

325
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: you know for the next few weeks. The same thing

326
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: I said when Cal was here. They can't do anything.

327
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: They don't have the money to pay a bye. So

328
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm interested in what people think they can do even

329
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: if they wanted to, which I'm not even saying is

330
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: a good idea. But let's say you wanted to. They

331
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: don't have the money to pay a bye.

332
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 6: So can I ask you this?

333
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 9: Then?

334
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 6: So Stupents has been here for what twelve years? Has

335
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,239
Speaker 6: been in the twelfth season, right, and Cal was here

336
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 6: for what fifteen? Yes, yes, something like that. Okay, So

337
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 6: Cal had his last three years were kind of like sour.

338
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: But we didn't fire, we didn't fight right, right, and

339
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: maybe Mark would decide to do that, but but.

340
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 6: We That's where I was getting to, right, So I went, all,

341
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 6: So here's my thing. So Stoope's had we've had with him,

342
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 6: we've had what he's been here for twelve seasons, He's

343
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 6: took us to a ball quite a few years. I

344
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 6: gave him that we've had uh what one ten win

345
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 6: season with him.

346
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: Or two two two?

347
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 6: Okay, to ten win seasons with him. But if you

348
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 6: think and look at his overall record, we've had a

349
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 6: sour it like it's been sour with our football. Like

350
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 6: why I said, we've kind of been stuck.

351
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm gonna have this. I'm glad to

352
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: have this conversation with you. And the stuck in neutral

353
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: I think is a fair point to say it's sour.

354
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: He's the winning this coach in the history this school,

355
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: and he's had more success. He's had more success than

356
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: any coach that hasn't cheated here since Bear Bryant. So

357
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: I do think, I do think you have to I

358
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: do think you have to have ballance now have it. So,

359
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: So I mean it's fine that the stuck in neutral comment.

360
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: I think is fair to act like, well, I don't know,

361
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: or do.

362
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 6: You think or do you think their program or do

363
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 6: you think they'll you know, because I'm like no, I'll

364
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 6: give him like if Kentucky goes and you know, let's

365
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 6: say we win next week against Florida, we win against Aubury,

366
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 6: you know, of course everybody's gonna have a different.

367
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: Mindset after that.

368
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 6: But then again, if we go on the next losing

369
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 6: streak and we don't win again into Marry State, you know,

370
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 6: then we're at au.

371
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: I totally agree. That's why I don't know that you

372
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: can say I appreciate it, Caul. I don't know what's

373
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: gonna happen. You know, we're halfway through the season. If

374
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: they beat Florida in Auburn, it looks different than if

375
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: they lose to Florida in Auburn. If they lose to Florida,

376
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, my view is if they lose to Florida

377
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: in Auburn and the only game they win for the

378
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: rest of the year is Murray State and they go

379
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: four and eight, which I don't think will be what happens,

380
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: but if it does, I don't think he'll want to

381
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: be here, to be honest with you. If they go

382
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: six and six, which I think might be the most

383
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: likely scenario at this point, then I don't know. I

384
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: think you're kind of in like a you're in a

385
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: weird situation. But I do think it's important to note

386
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: whatever happens at the end of the year will be

387
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: Mark Stoops's decision because of the nature of the contract.

388
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: Who's next.

389
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: He almost left this past off season.

390
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: He did, but he's not gonna have the opportunities he

391
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: had last season. Right like last season, A school like

392
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: A and M wanted him, you know, who knows. Everybody

393
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: has a different view of what happened that night, but

394
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: A and M clearly at some point wanted him, and

395
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: maybe wanted him till the very end. That's not gonna

396
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: happen again. Now, if Mark left, I do think he

397
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: could definitely get a job at a power school. But

398
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: he's not gonna get a school like A and M again,

399
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: especially if he doesn't have a good year, you know

400
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: what I mean. So I don't know, it won't be

401
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: like it was last year. But go ahead.

402
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and one of those ten win seasons is vacated.

403
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: Now we'll go to Casey.

404
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: That is true, but I but that's vacated. I mean,

405
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: to be fair, not filling out your expense report. Damn it,

406
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: it's I'm still counting that. Go ahead, Casey, Casey, Yes,

407
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: go ahead.

408
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 10: First time caller, who a long time listening. I was

409
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 10: just wondering. I understand about the buyout situations. There's just

410
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 10: why to talk on social media, you know about fire

411
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 10: and the stups.

412
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: Well, those people have to pay it, you know, it's

413
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: easy for people to say it if you don't have

414
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: to pay it.

415
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 10: I'm on your team, best coach you've ever had. But

416
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 10: assuming we keep him, and assuming we get rid of him,

417
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 10: how can we take from coming from you? How can

418
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 10: we take the next step?

419
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: Kind of like it's very difficult, Like that's the problem,

420
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: And we talked about this after the South Carolina game.

421
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: The problem is, let's say this season finishes five and

422
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: seven or six and six. You are to use the

423
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 1: other callers terms stuck in neutral, and I don't know

424
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: exactly how you get out of it. You know, like

425
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: Dion Walker will be gone. I think there's a good

426
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: chance Barrying Brown and Dang, he'll be gone. Vander Griff's

427
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: probably back, but your offensive line is still a disaster.

428
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to I mean, I think they have

429
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: five or six seniors on defense. Like you're gonna have

430
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: to rebuild your team and coming off a not so

431
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: great year in a New Nile world where you're competitive

432
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: but you're not at the top, it'll be very, very

433
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: difficult to be honest with you, and that is what

434
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: worries me. What worries me is like I don't know

435
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: what the next step is if this year doesn't go well,

436
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: and right now it's not really right.

437
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's what worries me too, But we gotta stay competitive,

438
00:22:59,200 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 10: do something.

439
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, appreciate the call. I mean, that's the thing, Like,

440
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: none of this is getting any easier. I mean, right

441
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: now in the SEC, with the exception of Mississippi State,

442
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: nobody's bad. And even Mississippi State played Texas competitively today

443
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: Texas George excuse me, Georgia competitively. I mean they weren't

444
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: going to win, but so nobody's bad. And that's and

445
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, Kentucky's schedule does not have like I don't

446
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: think they'll even play Vandy next year, and I and

447
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: and they, you know, I think, what what's next year's

448
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: schedule gonna be. It's gonna be like Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama.

449
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: You know, are you getting all the teams you didn't

450
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: play this year is up there?

451
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: Basically next year will get I think Tennessee, South Carolina

452
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: and all the teams you didn't play this year, I

453
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: think is how it is.

454
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 4: So who's next, Ethan, Go ahead, Ethan.

455
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 11: Hey, I just got a couple statements. I understand that

456
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 11: forty million is a lot of money, obviously not something

457
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 11: that's realistic. But I don't see how you can go

458
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 11: from fans actually wondering what that number is to dig

459
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 11: out of the hole because we just maybe had one

460
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 11: of Mark Stoop's best wins of his career, and yet

461
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 11: one week later, for one game later, we're still wondering,

462
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 11: you know, if that's even on the table. Obviously it's not.

463
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 11: I don't see how you dig out of that hole

464
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 11: after one of your biggest wins.

465
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard, and it's still it's hard. Yeah, and no,

466
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: it's I think that's a fair point. It is hard.

467
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: It's hard to see how you make that transition. Now.

468
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: At the same time, they could beat Florida and Auburn

469
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: beat Louisville, finished seven and five and kind of be

470
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: where they were last year, you know, so, but I

471
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna finish seven and five or eight

472
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: and four, and I was counting Vandy as a win.

473
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: So now like, you can't. You gotta win next week

474
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: against Florida, you gotta beat Auburn here and you gotta

475
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: beat Louisville. And you know, all three of those games

476
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: are losable games, you know, right, And.

477
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 11: That's the thing. It's like, if we get in the

478
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 11: same situation where we're coming up against Louisville, I mean,

479
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 11: potentially five wins going into Louisville.

480
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: By the way, that's what I think. Is that happened.

481
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what. This is just my prediction.

482
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna lose next week. I think we're

483
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: gonna beat Auburn. I think we're gonna lose to Tennessee,

484
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: beat Murray, lose to Texas, and we're gonna have to

485
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: play Louisville to make a ball And I actually think

486
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: we'll beat Louisville, as crazy as that sounds, because this

487
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: team just hates Louisville so much, But that is a

488
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: tough situation to be it. It really is, right.

489
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 11: And that's the thing. It's if we lose that game

490
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 11: in Louisville last year, I.

491
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: Mean, it's a different world.

492
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 12: It's a different world.

493
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: It is a different world if we I think, uh,

494
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the call. I think an interesting alternate history, Billy,

495
00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: is what does the world look like if we lose

496
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: to Louisville last year. So remember A and M was

497
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: in theory going to hire Stoops regardless, And it would

498
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: have been interesting to see if we lost to Louisville

499
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: and he took the job immediately, what would have happened?

500
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

501
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that that win saved the season in

502
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 2: hindsight for him. I mean, that was a top ten

503
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 2: road win, but it may have.

504
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 4: Saved the season and kept here at the A and

505
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 4: M job.

506
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, it's it's hard to know.

507
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: It's it's a different world. A five nine, twenty two

508
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: eighty seven. We will take a break, come back, take

509
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: more of your calls. It's a Local Toy Dealers KSR

510
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: post game show. Walker back, it is the Local Toy

511
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: Dealers KSR postgame show. Uh not surprisingly, I get something wrong.

512
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm told by multiple people, including Billy, that our schedule

513
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: next year is just this season with the home and

514
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: away flipped. So we will play all these same teams

515
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: just flipped. So we will at home play Old Miss

516
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: uh Tennessee, Florida and Texas, and we will go on

517
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: the road to Vandy, South Carolina, Georgia and uh who

518
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: am I missing here? Vandy, South Carolina, Georgia and Auburn,

519
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: which actually is a doable schedule if you have a

520
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: good team, because you get the good excuse me, you

521
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: get the good teams at the on the at home

522
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: and the bad teams on the road, with the exception

523
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: of Georgia, which means if you're good, you could take

524
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: advantage of them. But nobody's bad if you play like

525
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: we did tonight, where we could lose to any team

526
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: in the SEC, including at home to Vandy for the

527
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: second straight time.

528
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: Who's next, Travis?

529
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 13: Is that?

530
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: Travis? Go ahead?

531
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 12: Travis Hey, Matt Hey, just a couple of things, man,

532
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 12: uh the tend the corp or then a half from

533
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 12: Simon and play calls, clock management. To give up the

534
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 12: touchdown is just unacceptable, man. You know, time and time again.

535
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 12: We see it every.

536
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: Game, every game, Okay, it's almost every game. They actually

537
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: handled it decently well against Old Miss and I complimented

538
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: him because it was rare that that happened.

539
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 12: But going to our offensive line, man, I thought they

540
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 12: played a good game. There was a one or two

541
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 12: holding calls that was their fault.

542
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 1: One or two. There were five, No, there were.

543
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 12: Five but also you got Rock scrambling around in the

544
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 12: pocket holding onto that ball.

545
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 1: He did, he doesn't agreed to save his life. He

546
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: does hold it too long. He doesn't hold it too long.

547
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: And I thought Jordan Rodgers did a good job. You

548
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: remember that one play he pointed out that the ball

549
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: was supposed to just go out to burry On quickly,

550
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: and he held it and then nobody's.

551
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 12: Open, right, Yeah, he just runs the ball when he

552
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 12: doesn't need to, and when he needs to run the ball,

553
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:56,959
Speaker 12: he doesn't.

554
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

555
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 12: But another thing too, on stoops Man. Every time they

556
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 12: show Stoops on the on the TV man, he's sitting

557
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 12: there with his dumbfounded look on his face. He's not

558
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 12: talking to his team, he's not motivating them, he's not

559
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 12: giving them the brute, honest truth. And then the one

560
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 12: time they show him talking to a player, he's talking

561
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 12: to number thirty five on special teams.

562
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: Well, I did have two penalties a lecture.

563
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 12: This was before the second the last penalty on the

564
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 12: Berry and Brown return at the end of the game

565
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 12: there and uh, he was lecturing them before and then

566
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 12: he goes out there and makes the same call. But

567
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 12: you know, it's just like, what do we need. Why

568
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 12: isn't Stoops in our huddle, you know, talking to these kids, man,

569
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 12: and boosting them on and giving.

570
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: Them doing that. I mean, just because you don't see

571
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: it on television doesn't mean he's not doing it. But

572
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: but I think your point about and I appreciate the call.

573
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: Your other points I think are valid. I think they're

574
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: completely valid. And uh, Brock, this was not a good

575
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: game for Brock. I mean, Oh, what's weird though, is

576
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: Brock actually makes some good throws. That throw to berry On,

577
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: what was a great catch by berry On. I mean

578
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: he put it in the only spot he could put it.

579
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: But man, he makes some bad I think when he

580
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: makes the right read, he makes a good throw, but

581
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: he makes some bad reads. He hones on the ball

582
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: too long. I think all that's very very fair. Five

583
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: nine twenty two eighty seven. Billy, They the refs did

584
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: screw us out of twenty five seconds, didn't they? There

585
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: at the end? I mean I didn't matter, I don't think,

586
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 1: but they did right so because they ran the clock

587
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: down from three minutes to whatever it was right two

588
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: thirty five.

589
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: I missed this part of the game, but I did

590
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: hear the fans booing when they continued.

591
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: It could be wrong, but I think I think they

592
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: I think they messed up and ran the play clock

593
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: twice on a play and nobody. Maybe I'm wrong. I

594
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: didn't complain a lot in the moment because I actually

595
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: thought it helped us because it would make sure Old

596
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: Miss wouldn't get the ball back if we scored a touchdown.

597
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: But of course we didn't score touchdown, so it didn't matter.

598
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: Who's next?

599
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: Philip is next, Philip?

600
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Philip, Hello, Matt, Thank you's taking my car?

601
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 14: First time caller?

602
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: Who I Matt?

603
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 14: I have been a fan thirty two years and for

604
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 14: the first fifteen years of my life, we was able

605
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 14: to save up enough money to go to one football game,

606
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 14: and that was a Georgia game where Kentucky got beat

607
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 14: fifty six to six. And that I was becoming an

608
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 14: older man, been able to work and you know, get

609
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 14: season tickets for myself and for my son. It's hard

610
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 14: driving three hours to Lexington every Saturday to watch them

611
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 14: get beat over the same issue I worked in.

612
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: The mines for.

613
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 14: I worked in the mines for fifteen years, you know,

614
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 14: been injured, trying to provide for my son, give him

615
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 14: the life I didn't have, just to go and be

616
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 14: disappointed every Saturday by the Cats. No, and one thing

617
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 14: we love to do.

618
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: We love to watch the catwalk. He loves he's got

619
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: this white Nike football.

620
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 14: He loves getting autographs and for whatever reason, for four

621
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 14: weeks straight or four home games trade I'm sorry.

622
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 15: We've tried to get.

623
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 14: Rock Vandergriff, barry On Brown, dan Key, Anthony Brown Stevens

624
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 14: to sign his football and for whatever reason, they will not.

625
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 14: Is that part of like maybe they're Nio deals, is that, hey,

626
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 14: they can't sign for autographs.

627
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean I don't First of all, no, I don't

628
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: think so. I don't know why they haven't. And I'm

629
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: sure and you know they I'm sure they would. I

630
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: don't know the scenario, so I can't really answer that.

631
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: Let me let me go to your first point for

632
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: a second, though. What I love about UK football turn

633
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: your radio down just behind you because I can hear

634
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: my voice in the background. What I love about UK

635
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: football is that guys like you go, meaning like you know,

636
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: basketball tickets not everybody can get them, and to buy

637
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: a season is very is a lot, but you save

638
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: up your money to go and I bet you. I mean,

639
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: I would think you really treasure those trips with your son, right.

640
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 16: Oh, yeah, absolutely, And I understand, like I think oftentimes

641
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 16: people like people in athletics or whatever, they complain about

642
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 16: fan mindset sometimes, but.

643
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: A guy like you, you know, you're you're looking forward to

644
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: this and you deserve, I think, to feel like what

645
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: you're watching is putting in as much into it as

646
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: you are. Is that kind of what you're saying. Yeah?

647
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 14: Absolutely, And like one point too, is season football tickets.

648
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: That's it for us?

649
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 14: Season basketball tickets is not an option for the simple

650
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 14: fact well, obviously you know the price of them is

651
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 14: crazy at times, but logistically, for a blue collar worker

652
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 14: like me, it is not feasible for us to go

653
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 14: buy these season tickets, play all this money and might

654
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 14: be able to make it to thirty to forty percent

655
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 14: of the home games because we got to work nine

656
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 14: five dogs during.

657
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: The wet That no, I get it, And that's what

658
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 1: I love about UK football games. It's what you're saying,

659
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: but it also makes it disappointing. I mean, you've been

660
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: We're two and ten in the last twelve sec home game,

661
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: so I appreciate you calling and sharing that because I

662
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: do think it's a perspective it often gets forgotten. Be

663
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: careful going home.

664
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 14: Okay, thank you, Bat, I appreciate you taking my call.

665
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: Thank you. I think that's important to remember. There's a

666
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: lot of people that go to those football games that

667
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 1: are like that guy and that are listening right now

668
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: and their drives home, and you know, it's just important

669
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: for everybody involved, or remember who's next.

670
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 4: Noah, Noah, go ahead, Noah.

671
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 13: Hey guys, how y'all doing good? All right, that's good.

672
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 13: I want to, you know, not to piggyback off the

673
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 13: last guy, but I gotta I got a story to

674
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,479
Speaker 13: tell too. When I was seven years old, my dad,

675
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 13: uh he was the president of our youth football league,

676
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 13: and we finally had an open Saturday to go. And

677
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 13: it was back in twenty twelve. And the first and

678
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 13: up until last year, only game I.

679
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 17: Went to was when Vanderbilt beat the breaks off of Kentucky.

680
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 17: I think it was forty to zero.

681
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: That was your first game, Yeah, that was my game?

682
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, And I think I was the saying we

683
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 17: lost to Western Kentucky too.

684
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: That was a good year. It was, yeah, it was yeah.

685
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 17: But I feel like tonight's loss, and really just this

686
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 17: season in general. It might be a lower point than

687
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 17: that for what our expectations are, right, because we've got

688
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 17: this roster that is just I mean compared to yours past.

689
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 17: This roster is Alabama compared to what we had back then,

690
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 17: and we just we can't seem to get anything done.

691
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 17: I feel like there's a a level of complacency that

692
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 17: we've reached that is just unacceptable.

693
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: Well, there was a there was a sense of doom

694
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: for that game in particular, because we stunk and we

695
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: were like playing out in the string. Right. Yeah, I

696
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: will say this, like tonight, if Kentucky just plays disciplined

697
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: and plays the last two minutes of the first half better,

698
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: they win, and that that that's very frustrating. I actually

699
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: find that more frustrating than when the other team is

700
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: just better, you know, Like this game is more frustrating

701
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: because honestly, Vandy, outside of like Vanny didn't even really

702
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 1: play well in the second half. Pavia could barely walk,

703
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: and defense really couldn't stop us. We just stopped ourselves

704
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: for the most part. So I I kind of agree

705
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: with you in some ways, it's more frustrating that game

706
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: was more embarrassing the one you're talking about. But in

707
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: some ways I would agree with you. This is more frustrated.

708
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 17: Yeah, and I feel like the clock management this year

709
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 17: is just I mean, obviously Stoops has not been, you know,

710
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 17: notorious for good clock management, but the clock management this

711
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 17: year has just been abysmal compared to years past. I mean,

712
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 17: we saw what happened.

713
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, he's terrible at it. He's just terrible

714
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: at it. I mean, he's just terrible at it. I mean,

715
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: they're you know, and I appreciate the call. There are

716
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: things he's good at. I think he's put a good

717
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: defense on the field pretty much every single year he's

718
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: been here. I think they I think his team's pretty

719
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: much maximize their defensive ability almost every year, going back

720
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: to Matt House and Brad White and even before then,

721
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: the even when his teams were bad those first couple

722
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: of years, their defense, you know. But when it comes

723
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: to clock management, he is not good at it and

724
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: hasn't been good at it really since he's been here.

725
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: Who's next? What's up?

726
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 12: Edward?

727
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 15: Hey, Matt, how are you?

728
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: I'm good?

729
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:16,959
Speaker 13: Good?

730
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 15: Yeah, So, just just driving home from the game. On

731
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 15: the way back to Louisville here, and I don't mean

732
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 15: to pile on the Stoops train like I don't. I

733
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 15: don't want to crap on the guy at all. I

734
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 15: mean he liked the Last Caller. My earliest memories are

735
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 15: kind of the transition away from uh from Joker and

736
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 15: that forty oero band. He lost two Stoops and he's

737
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 15: done some great things. I asked the question in The

738
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 15: Athletic this week in a mail bag article. I'm not

739
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 15: going to read the response, but pretty much what I

740
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 15: asked was, has Stoops taken Kentucky as far as it

741
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 15: can go? And do you first see him looking at

742
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 15: other opportunities after this?

743
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: Have they taken him as far as they can go? Okay? So,

744
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: do I think Kentucky can win a national time? No?

745
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: Do I think Kentucky can win an SEC title? Probably not.

746
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: Do I think Kentucky one out of every five years

747
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: could have a real shot at a playoff in the

748
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: new format? Yeah? What worries me is these last two

749
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: years have not been encouraging. You could make a strong

750
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: argument that these last two years have been some of

751
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: the best talent he's had. And we were seven and

752
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: five and we'll see what happens this year. So I

753
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: do think there's a worry that it's kind of stuck

754
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: in neutral. Do I think he'll pursue other options? I

755
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 1: have to tell you, me and you talking, I've kind

756
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: of thought, no matter what, that was gonna happen. And

757
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: that's not inside knowledge. Okay. I honestly have not talked

758
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: to Stoops this entire season. I really haven't talked to

759
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: him since I got back from Europe. I talked to

760
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 1: him once, So I I don't know what's in his mind,

761
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: but I've kind of just always thought in the same

762
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: way that last year, I kind of thought it was

763
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: gonna be Col's last year, even before they struggled. I've

764
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: kind of thought this was gonna be Stoops's last year,

765
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,439
Speaker 1: just for no reason than just feeling. And I would

766
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: say to you nothing's happened to change that view, But

767
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: I can't say I know it's a guess.

768
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, no, no, sure, And I appreciate your insight. Like

769
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 15: I said, that kind of coincides with what the writer

770
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 15: in the Athletic wrote back to me in the article,

771
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 15: And like I said, you can you can find.

772
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: It pretty easily.

773
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 15: But yeah, I appreciate coach Stoops a lot. I think

774
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 15: he's elevated us and you know, we may be stalling

775
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 15: out now, but that's okay. I mean, all good stuff

776
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 15: has to come to an end. But to echo your point,

777
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 15: there's no reason every handful of years, especially when they

778
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 15: expand the playoff to sixteen, that we couldn't maybe claw.

779
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 1: Oh, I definitely, definitely. I mean, look, yeah we should.

780
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: And I appreciate the people sometimes online talk about expectations.

781
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: Matt Jones's expectation for UK football is you make a

782
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: Bowl almost every year, if not every year, like maybe

783
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: one in ten, you don't make it. You seven is

784
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: the base to be happy. You once every five years

785
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: have a shot at a playoff in the current format,

786
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: And I think if you look at Stoops's career, that's

787
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: kind of what it's been. Is exactly what I just said,

788
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: because I think the two years we won ten games,

789
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: if the playoff format existed, we would have either gotten

790
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: in or been one of the first two teams out.

791
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: But this year has not been like that, and I'm

792
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: worried this might be the first year he doesn't make

793
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: a Bowl since his second year or third year. He

794
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: if I'm nine two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. Let's

795
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: take a break. We'll do our final segment. This is

796
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: the Local Toy Dealers KSR Post Game Show looking back.

797
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame Show final

798
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: segment here on KSR. Thanks for standing up. I gotta

799
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: go to bed here in a minute, Billy, because I

800
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: gotta do the NFL show tomorrow. And I haven't even

801
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: looked to see who plays. Usually on Saturday night, I

802
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 1: try to see what's the big game? Yeah, Lines, Cowboys,

803
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: I guess. Now the point though, I can just say

804
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: something about all these teams. You know, I may not

805
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: know much, Like, just give me a team. I'll just

806
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: show you real quick. Just give me a team.

807
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 2: Okay, tell me about the Cowboys.

808
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: Oh, first, all that was easy. Dak Prescott. You know,

809
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. They got absolutely blown out at home twice,

810
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: but then bounce back the last couple of weeks and

811
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: get to win. This a big chance gets Detroit to

812
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: show that those fluke game games against the Saints at

813
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: home and the Ravens those were flukes, big time chance

814
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: for them to get a big victory to markets Detroit.

815
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 2: Hmm, that's right. I forgot you did all that dark

816
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 2: contract talk.

817
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: I've done so much years, could talk about Dak in

818
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: my sleep.

819
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 2: Who's next, Tyler's.

820
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: I will dream tonight. I'm sure I'm your text name, Tyler.

821
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Tyler.

822
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 7: Hey, thanks man, Thanks Billy for having me on.

823
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: Appreciate it.

824
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 7: I'm a New York Giants fan talking about football leading

825
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 7: in for Sunday. I'm a New York Giants fan too,

826
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 7: and a UK football.

827
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: Who do you all play tomorrow? Just to help me

828
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: get ready the Bengals. Oh, the big game for the Bengals.

829
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: Gotta win that one, must win seasons over.

830
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 7: Well, I'm like I said, I'm a New York Giants

831
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 7: fan and a UK football fan, so I'm a glutton

832
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 7: for punishment flash.

833
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

834
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 7: But now you know, some of your earlier callers were

835
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 7: talking and I kind of have mixed feelings as well

836
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 7: about the legacy of stoops. Like you know, I took

837
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 7: my twelve year old son with me tonight and he

838
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,760
Speaker 7: was at the game with me earlier in this season

839
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 7: with that South Carolina when we played them as well,

840
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 7: and you know, it's just one of those like the

841
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 7: South Carolina walls felt like an all systems failure, like

842
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 7: all the way around. This one didn't feel that way,

843
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 7: but it was probably more frustrating because you could just

844
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 7: see little things here or there that would have made

845
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 7: the difference in the game.

846
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: At the time. I totally agree with that. The South

847
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: Carolina game, we got dominated. This was a game. I

848
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: don't want to say we beat ourselves because they played well,

849
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: but we should have won. I mean, if we just

850
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: do what we're supposed to do, we win. Yeah.

851
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 7: I just think at the end of the day, you

852
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 7: know that we allowed them to sustain drives. We did

853
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 7: shoot ourselves in the foot. But after twelve years, and

854
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 7: this is why I think the legacy of Stoops is

855
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 7: kind of complicated, and it's kind of you know, you

856
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 7: hate to always compare the things with col but that's

857
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 7: kind of what you know most recent, so you kind

858
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 7: of see what happened there. The same thing. Mark Stoops

859
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 7: is responsible for a lot of people's great memories for

860
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 7: UK football. You know, I've been a fan since you know,

861
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 7: Bill Curry was here and he sucked and so you know,

862
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 7: but Mark suits was, you know, has been responsible for

863
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 7: some great memories for UK football fans. But I think

864
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 7: going back to the pony up comments. Now you're kind

865
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 7: of like, do we need a pony up for Vandy.

866
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 7: I mean, it's just there's these there's these little things

867
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 7: that just add it up over the last couple of

868
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 7: years and at the end, at the end of the day,

869
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 7: over you know, if you do this time and time again,

870
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 7: it feels like the discipline it's not just a discipline

871
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 7: and undisciplined problem, it's a cultural problem.

872
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: And yeah, I've often thought with Cal just because I

873
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: know you're right, it's it's just natural to do the difference.

874
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: I think Cal hit a lower low than Stoops has hit.

875
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 1: To be honest, Now, granted he got a higher high, right,

876
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: we won a national championship, but I also think we

877
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: got a lower low. I mean, for Kentucky basketball to

878
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: lose to Saint Peter's in Oakland is pretty terrible. But

879
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: I think in both situations there was a moment where

880
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: things changed. I think for Cal that moment was COVID, right,

881
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,439
Speaker 1: Like I think if you go back and you look

882
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: post COVID, he was a different coach and team. I

883
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: do wonder if when it's all over, to be honest

884
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: with you, Tyler, we'll say pony up was that moment

885
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: for Stoops. I mean, I don't know if it will be,

886
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 1: but it does feel like things have been different since

887
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 1: he since that happened.

888
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 7: I think that was just a reset moment for a

889
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 7: lot of fans because I think the expectations have been

890
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 7: so high and then to get that, get that statement,

891
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 7: and then not see those expectations and the attitude. I

892
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 7: think Stoops has instilled a gritty attitude with these guys,

893
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 7: but that attitude doesn't seem to be translating into success

894
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 7: on the field. Again, you can see all these undisciplined things.

895
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 7: The clock management stuff's still an issue. You know, if

896
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 7: you expect fans to step up, you've got to change

897
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 7: the way you do things in order to do it fair.

898
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: That's tollly fair. I appreciate the call. And remember after

899
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: the pony up statement. That was the Monday after the

900
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: Georgia game, a game where if you remember, they had

901
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: gotten blown out, and then they lost at home to

902
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: Missouri the next game, and it really that was a

903
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: that was a big loss. We're at fourteen to nothing

904
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: in the fake pun, I mean that was that was

905
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: a big turning point game in a lot of ways.

906
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 4: What's next, Matt's next, Matt, go ahead, Matt.

907
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 18: Hey, Matt. The losing to Vanderbilt twice in a row

908
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 18: at home is absolutely unacceptable. But let me just read

909
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,720
Speaker 18: you a couple of things here. First downs Kentucky twenty

910
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 18: three Van nineteen total yards three twenty two to two

911
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 18: eighty eight. We outrushed them. It's just penalties, twelve of

912
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 18: them for one hundred and five yards. It's unbelievable that

913
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 18: with a twelve year most tenured coach in the SEC,

914
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 18: we're having that many penalties and that many just costly mistakes.

915
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: I agree. That's why I say South Carolina we can

916
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: say we should have theoretically won, but we just got

917
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: completely whipped. So I should have won this game if

918
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: we had just done basic things. And that's really frustrating

919
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah.

920
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 18: Another thing I want to say is I'm not here

921
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 18: for any name King Slander. I know he had one

922
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 18: really bad penalty and he had a fumble where a

923
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 18: guy dove his helmet into the ball. But that kid,

924
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 18: for three straight weeks, three straight weeks, that kid has

925
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 18: caught every single thing.

926
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: But both of those things can be true, right, So, Like,

927
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't like when fans take a mentality that someone

928
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: is either great or they're terrible, and there's no middle ground.

929
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 1: Dane has been awesome these last three weeks. Awesome. Dane

930
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 1: cannot get that personal foul penalty. It costs us three points.

931
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: And I agree with you, that was a good play

932
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 1: the guy made. But you also can't fumble that both

933
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: those things can be true. You can say he's been

934
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: awesome and criticize him when it's not. My frustration over

935
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: the years has been this idea that everything has to

936
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: be they're awful or they're amazing. It can be both

937
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: and not. It can be in the middle. And Dane

938
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: has been awesome, but those those were huge mistakes he

939
00:48:59,280 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: made to.

940
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 18: Not I think it's fair to be frustrated with those

941
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 18: couple plays. But again, that kid has called everything that's

942
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 18: come his way, and I think when you're coming down

943
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 18: the stretch and you need a score at the end

944
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 18: of the game, I'm throwing everything I can to number six.

945
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: I agree. I totally agree with that. I appreciate the call.

946
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,919
Speaker 1: I don't think those two things are mutually exclusive. Let's

947
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: do three more Billy, and then I'm gonna try to

948
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: go to sleep. Who's next?

949
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: JR.

950
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: JR. Go ahead, JR. Interception Colorado? Wow, look at this?

951
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,880
Speaker 1: Are they gonna win this game? Oh? My goodness? Oh

952
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: he fell? Oh he fell? Wow? All right, go ahead JR.

953
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 9: Hey man, I'm gonna try it out to be overly negative. Okay,

954
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 9: a little frustrated this evening.

955
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: Go for it.

956
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 11: So so a couple questions and then just.

957
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 9: Kind of one point. Really, the biggest thing is is

958
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 9: everything that we love about Soups does it feel like

959
00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 9: it manifests itself in negative plays? Buyer? And do we

960
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 9: feel like Mark Soups might be the prime meridian of

961
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 9: college football?

962
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know what you you tell me what

963
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: you mean by the second one. I do think the

964
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: things that frustrated stuff about stoops do manifest itself in players.

965
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, like, how would you know everything a coach

966
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: does comes through their players? So yes, but what do

967
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: you mean by the prime meridian of football? I'm interested

968
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: in what that means?

969
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

970
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 9: So I'm a Bengals fayan. And when we had Andy Dalton,

971
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 9: I remember reading an article several years ago and somebody

972
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 9: wrote him and basically put him as the eighteenth overall

973
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 9: quarterback in the NFL, and said.

974
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 1: He was saying, like he's the median, okay, the prime marin. Yeah,

975
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean I think he's above average because I think

976
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: to win here is hard.

977
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 9: I mean, I get, how old are you, I'm thirty six.

978
00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: Okay, we sound younger, that's good. Uh yeah, I mean

979
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: like we haven't won to here my entire life until Stoops.

980
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,879
Speaker 1: So I think where you have to be on the

981
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 1: scale of coaches to win at Kentucky like he has

982
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: is above average, right. I think if you have an

983
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 1: average or below average coach here, they lose. So I

984
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: think he's above average. But is he, you know, top

985
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty. Probably not. I think when it comes

986
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: to recruiting, they're probably honestly top ten or top fifteen

987
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: when you consider what they do recruiting here. Uh but yeah,

988
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: I would put him above average because I just think

989
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: it's harder to win here than it meant at most

990
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: schools in America because of the conference, right, I appreciate,

991
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,919
Speaker 1: I think, or go ahead, go ahead real quick?

992
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I think that's That's the hardest thing is

993
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 9: Stups has always had an elite defense, and it always

994
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 9: feels like the common denominator has always come down to

995
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 9: quarterback play in the offense.

996
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. I appreciate the call when

997
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 1: we've had good we've had good quarterbacks. But as we've

998
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: talked about, look, we're in the SEC. I've got over

999
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: this many times. But no state in the SEC produces

1000
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: less talent than us than Kentucky, and so to win

1001
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: here is like even harder than it is in the

1002
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 1: other SEC school because you don't even produce homegrown town.

1003
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: And then when it comes to nil of the sixteen schools,

1004
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: we're probably like twelve maybe eleventh in anile. So like

1005
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: all of those things means if you can get a

1006
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: top half of the SEC program here, you're really doing well.

1007
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: But you shouldn't lose to Bandy twice and row at

1008
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: home Let's do too. Colorado takes the lead. Gosh, we're

1009
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna have it. The Colorado hip train is gonna start

1010
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 1: again in two more. Who's now? Hunter? Hunter? Go ahead? Hunter?

1011
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 19: Hey, how are you guys?

1012
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 1: Tonight? Good?

1013
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 19: So I've been thinking, like ever since the game's over,

1014
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 19: there's been a million different thoughts going through my head,

1015
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 19: and honestly, like I usually like to look at these

1016
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 19: games analytically, like what do we do wrong. Honestly came

1017
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 19: down to two things. It came down to o line.

1018
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 19: You know, they had the illegal formation problems with South

1019
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 19: Carolina and then these holdings just killed us. And then

1020
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 19: the other thing is stoops is stubbornness. I told my dad,

1021
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 19: and I joke with him. I said, I are you

1022
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 19: sure he's not from eastern Kentucky because of how stubborn

1023
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 19: he is and how stuck in the ways he is.

1024
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: That's not that's that's an unfair slide to eastern Kentucky.

1025
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: So okay, oh well if you okay, if you're from there,

1026
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: then then you can stay. Uh. Yeah, he is stubborn.

1027
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: It's interesting he's I think he he is stubborn and

1028
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 1: stuck in his ways, but then he also will change stuff.

1029
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 1: But the thing that he won't change is sometimes the

1030
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: thing that's the most frustrating about him. Like I think

1031
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: he's tried to be more flexible on offense, but like

1032
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 1: he's still pretty stubborn and not being able to manage

1033
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: the clock, you know, I mean, like, so you know,

1034
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:06,439
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1035
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 3: He is.

1036
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,720
Speaker 1: He's definitely, he's definitely stubborn. I appreciate the call he's stubborn.

1037
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: In a different way than Cal is like Cal was

1038
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: stubborn too, but in a different way. But no, he's

1039
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: he's certainly stubborn. But I don't think that's the issue

1040
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 1: so much. I think the discipline and sort of the

1041
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: clock management, to be honest with you, is the thing

1042
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 1: that drives me the most because it's so easily fixable.

1043
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone on that staff, every single person knows

1044
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: infinitely more about football than I do. But I do

1045
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: think Billy I could manage the clock at the end

1046
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: of the day.

1047
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 15: You can run.

1048
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: Not the plays, but just what they do from a

1049
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: time perspective, because it's just math, you know what I mean,

1050
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: It's just math. It's not football. It's math. And they

1051
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 1: just don't do the math. And any dork could do

1052
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: the math, and they just don't do it. And it

1053
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: drives me crazy. All right, last one, who's that?

1054
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 2: Kendall?

1055
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: Kendall? What's up? Kend Hey? Man?

1056
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 7: I guess what I was upset with the most is

1057
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 7: I mean, I I just don't understand some of the

1058
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 7: play calls.

1059
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we.

1060
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 9: Doing at the end here where they're just.

1061
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 13: I don't know.

1062
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 19: I'm just really disappointed tonight.

1063
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: Uh oh, what whoa, whoa, whoa whoa? Oh wait a minute,

1064
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: watching to say you were ahead of me? I was like,

1065
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: why is he going? Whoa? All right, I got you

1066
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: Kansas State with a big drive. Go ahead, you were

1067
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: ahead of you're ahead of me by a few seconds,

1068
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:48,720
Speaker 1: but go ahead.

1069
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, anyway, I was disappointed in uh comments.

1070
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 13: Did you listen to him?

1071
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: I did? I did, so, Like, all right, so I'm

1072
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: glad you said that. Let's let's talk about Stoops's common So, uh,

1073
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: Stoop said, I think you're talking about where He says, well,

1074
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: what which ones bothered you the most? You're talking about

1075
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: his comments with Tom Leech? Yes, yes, yes, absolutely so, yeah,

1076
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: Stoops go. Tom says something to the effect of, it

1077
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: was very frustrating out there.

1078
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 14: You know what did you I just lost by the way, Oh,

1079
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 14: there's flagging her ahead.

1080
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm about to hang up on you. I appreciate the call.

1081
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: You're ahead of me on the feet. I think you're

1082
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: talking about. Tom says something like, hey, what did you

1083
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: see out there? And he says something like, I don't

1084
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,919
Speaker 1: know right in that kind of what happened? Billy? What

1085
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: what were the words? Because the words were odd?

1086
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 2: He's very frustrated we had to use the dump button

1087
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 2: on him.

1088
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: And he well, you didn't dump him. I heard it.

1089
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 2: Well, were you connected on the comments?

1090
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: Oh so you did get those words? Yeah, okay, all right, gotcha,

1091
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: I'll read you what he said. Stoop said. Stoops was

1092
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: asked by Tom Lee, what's your assessment of what happened tonight?

1093
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: And he said, I wish I knew. It's extremely frustrating.

1094
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: I think what bothers people, at least online, was that

1095
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 1: I wish I knew Billy. That actually doesn't bother me

1096
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: as much because I think he's just being honest. I

1097
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: don't think he knows why. I don't think he knows

1098
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: why those guys make the errors they do. And I

1099
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:26,919
Speaker 1: don't know if that's good or bad. I just think

1100
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 1: he's being honest. You know.

1101
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's probably withholding judgment till he can watch the tape,

1102
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 2: and that's what a football coach should do.

1103
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: But it bother you that he said I wish I knew.

1104
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I thought he was extremely honest, to

1105
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 2: the point where I felt like he was blaming players

1106
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 2: more than he normally does.

1107
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: I think that's probably right. And then what you're talking

1108
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: about is, So I guess what I heard is not

1109
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: what went over the air.

1110
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 2: Correct, Yeah, okay, because I think you tweeted it out.

1111
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: I tweeted out exactly what he said. I thought it

1112
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: went over the air. I didn't realize I was getting

1113
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: the uncensored version he said. Believe me, I'm as frustrated

1114
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: as any fan out there. It is complete bull blank.

1115
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: I am as blanked off as anyone. But I know

1116
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: it's on me. Billy and I actually got to hear

1117
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: the actual words, but I guess you all didn't. I

1118
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 1: was a little shocked at his words, Billy, like I've

1119
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: never heard him cuss on the radio before.

1120
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, extremely frustrated, talked about the players not controlling their emotions.

1121
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, well now I want to see the end

1122
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: of this game, but you want to go home, so

1123
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,959
Speaker 1: I'll let you go home. Thank you all very much

1124
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,200
