1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone. It is the local toy of dealers KSR

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: postgame show. The Cats get absolutely blown out tonight in

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: Gainesville forty eight to twenty and embarrassing loss. After a

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: number of wins against Florida in a row, this one

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: is pretty bad. Eight five, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven.

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: Will open up the phones. I originally was gonna have

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: Ryan do this one tonight, but then after I saw

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: how bad we lost, it felt like I needed to

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: come on. I think sometimes in uh in seasons, but

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: also in sort of ten years of coaches, you get

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: games that that feel kind of important, and I thought

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: the Vandy game last week felt important, and I think

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: this one kind of does two. You know, I there

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: was obviously a chance they could lose this game, and

15
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't think the game was as lopsided as the

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: final score showcases. But it also wasn't a game that

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: we should have won, and it was a game that

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: I think illustrates kind of the drop in performance of

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: the program. I mean over the years, over the last

20
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: few years, Kentucky has really kind of owned Florida. We've

21
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: sort of and even in the one or two games

22
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: we've lost, I mean, I think you can make an

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: argument going back to the last seven years when we've played

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: Florida that really accept one game, we were the better

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: team probably six of the seven times, I think we

26
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: won maybe four of them. Tonight that wasn't the case.

27
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: And Florida is not particularly better. I mean, well, they

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: are better, but then they've been the last two years,

29
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: but they're not good. And yet they kind of out

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: physicaled us and we're just kind of completely manhandled us

31
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: for a lot of the game. I mean, how many

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: games are you going to see in your life where

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback what completes what seven passes? Billy? Is that

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: how many play passes?

35
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: He completed seven fifty nine yards?

36
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, seven pass for two hundred and fifty nine yards.

37
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: I mean that means you gave up big play after

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: big play, which is the one thing that a Brad

39
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: White defense really doesn't do. I mean, that's one of

40
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: the strengths, and that was not the case. I think

41
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: even coming into this game, we were one of the

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: best teams in the country had not giving up big plays,

43
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: and they got absolutely crushed with big plays all night.

44
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: We could break down the myriad of things that went wrong,

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: but Ultimately, I think there's a bigger picture discussion to

46
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: be had, which is kind of a state of the program.

47
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there are five games left in the season.

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: You play your two biggest rivals in Tennessee and Louisville.

49
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: You play two teams that'll be in the top ten

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: in Tennessee and Texas. You play an Auburn team next

51
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: week that I think is probably the second worst team

52
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: in the conference, and if you lose, then you're the

53
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: second worst team in the conference. I only think Mississippi

54
00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: State is worse. So I mean, this is really a

55
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: huge step back for a program at a time in

56
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: kind of college football where I don't think you can

57
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: have a step back. You know, in the new Innile world,

58
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: this is a major time of transition. I think in

59
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: two years there's gonna be a new set of rules

60
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: for Inile and I think it's gonna kind of freeze

61
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: programs in time. Maybe sometime we'll talk about that later

62
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: in the year, but I do think these next couple

63
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: years are very important for a football program. And we're

64
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: kind of hitting a downslide at the worst time. And

65
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what you do. I mean,

66
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: I listened to Mark Stoops last week and this week

67
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: on the postgame show, and it's pretty clear. Man. He

68
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: one thing I like about him. He's pretty upfront and

69
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't have answers. I mean he kind of acknowledges that.

70
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: Last week he sounded completely baffled, and this week he

71
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: kind of sounded defeated to me. And I don't know, man,

72
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: it's hard to see. It's hard to see how this

73
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: it's a lot better. I think best case scenario for

74
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: the season now is six and six. I think a

75
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: more likely scenario is probably five and seven. I'm now

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: to the point I think maybe we beat Auburn, maybe

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: we beat Louisville, We'll beat Murray. I mean, you can

78
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: have this could be a four win team. You know,

79
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: a four win team after what seven eight years in

80
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: a row of making bowl games, you don't get that

81
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: extra practice. You know, you probably see a roster overhaul

82
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: after the season. You know, we've been pretty fortunate here

83
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: at Kentucky to kind of, even during this transfer portal era,

84
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: really keep our rosters intact more so than almost any

85
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: program in the country. I kind of don't think that's

86
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: gonna happen at the end of the year, and I

87
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: don't know, it just feels like a thing that has

88
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: really taken a major step back. And you know, online

89
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: people are are already talking about how there has to

90
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: be a coaching change. And you know, if you if

91
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: you listen to this show over the years, you know,

92
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: I say that that's like not something that I think

93
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: you really talk about until the years over, because they

94
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: got to keep playing regardless. But it is hard to

95
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: see kind of how this gets better in the short term.

96
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean almost kind of no matter what happens in

97
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: these last five games, it just feels like the program

98
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: is in a very stagnant and heading backwards place. And

99
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: it is highlighted today because you're you have now played

100
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks programs that you've kind of

101
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: owned during the prime of the Mark Stoops era, and

102
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: you lost them both, one of them at home, and

103
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: you got kind of demolished tonight. And I don't know

104
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: how that gets better in the in the short term.

105
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: I really don't. A lot of the same problems we've

106
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: seen occurred, not as many penalties, but you know, bazar

107
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: are play calling, inability to convert third and short situations,

108
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 1: giving up third and long on defense, it didn't really matter,

109
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: but once again, terrible clock management at the end of

110
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: the first half. You know, it's just the same stuff.

111
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: So it's hard to see how any of it really

112
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: really gets better. And the longer I've been doing this,

113
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: the less I say a lot. I think KSR is

114
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: a reflection of the fans opinion. It's not necessarily a driver. Well,

115
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: the fan base is a lot more negative than it's been,

116
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: and part of it is a victim of stoop success.

117
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of young fans out there

118
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: who don't remember the Kentucky that a lot of you

119
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: listening do, which is when we were terrible. But because

120
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: they've grown up accustomed to success. I mean, they believe

121
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: this program is in its lowest point, and whether that's

122
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: true or not, that's what they believe. And it just

123
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: feels like a program that is losing support at a

124
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: time that there's probably more excitement around the basketball program

125
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: than any time since pre COVID, So it is going

126
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: to be natural for people to just sort of walk

127
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: away a little bit from football. You know, we play

128
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: Auburn next week. Normally that would be a huge game,

129
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Auburn at night. Well, I think It'll be a fine crowd,

130
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's going to be a great one.

131
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: And then I think the Murray State game, it might

132
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: be friends and family at that game. I mean, there

133
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: might not be anybody there for that one. And then Louisville,

134
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: of course, the final one probably will have an okay crowd,

135
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: But like, it just doesn't feel like this fan base

136
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: is going to be excited for the rest of this season.

137
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: And I just don't know where we go from here.

138
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I've said over and over Mark

139
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: Stoops is not going to be fired, and that's just

140
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: not going to happen. And like, there will be people

141
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: who make that argument, and they can make it all

142
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: they want. It's it's it's a perfectly fine position to have,

143
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: but it's not grounded in reality of what the situation

144
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: will be. But I do wonder if at some point

145
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: there's going to be a decision that like this just

146
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: isn't what even Stoops wants to do, because it just

147
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like the same program it was even even

148
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: two years ago. In a lot of ways, if I'm

149
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: nine two eightho twenty two eighty seven, normally, you know,

150
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: when we do these late night when people are driving home.

151
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: Obviously this was a road game, so if you're awake

152
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: right now, you really care. So I want to hear

153
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: what the people who really care think about the game,

154
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: but also the program. I mean, this game sucked, by

155
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: the way, Billy, Has there ever been worse production from

156
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: a camera and game standpoint than the SEC Networks production too?

157
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: They must have been drunk. I don't know what the

158
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: camera guys were doing the third quarter.

159
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: I could have been like a high school football stream.

160
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it was the worst thing I've It was

161
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: the worst thing I've ever seen. And I still don't

162
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: know on that one play, how how did we get

163
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: a first down? I thought it was like fourth and

164
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: two and we just had a first down And I

165
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: still don't know what happened there at the end of

166
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: the third quarter.

167
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, not only that, there was a score for Florida

168
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: in the third quarter, which I'm I'm not sure he

169
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: ever broke the line on that play.

170
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: Well that was a ref's call, but part of why

171
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: it couldn't be overturned as it looked like they were

172
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: shooting it from an iPhone four and they didn't even

173
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: have an angle of the play. It was just it

174
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: was just a bizarrely terribly produced game, and our performance

175
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: pretty much matched it in uh negativity. So eight five

176
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven for those

177
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: of you that are up at twelve forty five at night,

178
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: we'll take your calls. Cats with embarrassing lost to go

179
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: to three and four in the conference. This is the

180
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: local toyty KSR postgame show. Looking back, it is the

181
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: local Toy Dealers KSR post game show. I'm looking at

182
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: the text machine and at Twitter seven to seven, two

183
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: se to seven four five two five for it. Some

184
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: comments that a few people have made that I just

185
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: have quick comments on when person writes, Matt, what do

186
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: you think is the biggest problem that the staff and

187
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: the program has right now? I think it's that our

188
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: last two quarterbacks haven't been great. I actually don't think

189
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: that's the problem. I don't think our last two quarterbacks.

190
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think Devin Leary was great. I'm

191
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: not sure that Brett Vand and Griff's great either. But

192
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: to me, it's the offensive line. I think the inability

193
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years to recruit and develop

194
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: really good offensive lineman is the biggest problem the programs

195
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: had because if you look at the years we were good,

196
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: the offensive line was really good. And I don't know

197
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: how many guys we had drafted five or six in

198
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: the last five or six years before these two previous

199
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: but they were like five or six seven Dick guys drafted,

200
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: and I think we'd only had like three or four

201
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: offensive lineman drafted in the history of the school. And

202
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: it's just been a huge regression. And if you had

203
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, maybe you get by that, but we

204
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: don't have a great one. But I don't really think

205
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks have been the problem. I think the problem,

206
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: to me is a lot more on the offensive line.

207
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: One person writes, Matt, do you think it all goes

208
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: back to pony Up? Well, I don't think the problems

209
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: with the program or him saying pony up, but I

210
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: think he lost a I think Mark Stoop's one of

211
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: his best qualities was he knew how to relate to

212
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: our fan base and he knew how to talk to him.

213
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: And in the end of the Caliperi era, whereas cal

214
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: kind of drifted from understanding, and it felt like Stoop

215
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: still did. And I just think that pony up comment

216
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: was so tone deaf, just so tone deaf, and it

217
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: sort of made fans question him in a way that

218
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: I don't think happened before that. It was just it

219
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: was Tony, especially when he said it and then we

220
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: lost to Missouri the next week, et cetera. Another person

221
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: along those lines says, Matt, do you think it's nil

222
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: has hurt this team the players care more about the

223
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: nil than the team? Well, no, but let's say that's true.

224
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: You still got to get around it. I mean, these

225
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: other teams are winning, like that's my thing to all

226
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: these coaches. You know, if every team's stunk, that would

227
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: be different. Indiana seven and oh with a new coach, right,

228
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: he's found a way to work the NIL stuff to

229
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: make it work for him. So if you can't do it,

230
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: then you can't coach. Like you can. You can complain

231
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: all you want about the system, but the system is

232
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: the system. It's gonna change in the next two or

233
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: three years and it's not gonna look like it does now.

234
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a lot more regulated. But you

235
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: know what, if you don't want to do it, it's like

236
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: I said with Tony Benny, you don't have to do it.

237
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: Somebody else will do it, but other schools are navigating it.

238
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: So no, I don't think an Aisle's the problem. I mean,

239
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: Baron Brown was crying on the sideline after game. You

240
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: think he doesn't care. I think he cares. But you gotta.

241
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: You can't wind as they say, there's no wining in

242
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: the yacht. Man. You gotta. You're making nine point one

243
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. You gotta figure out how to

244
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: navigate this system. All right, who's up first, Billy, Jimmy, Jimmy,

245
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: what's up, Jimmy?

246
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 3: Hey Man? I just wanted to say, Man, I was

247
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 3: looking so forward to this team this year, with the

248
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: wide receiver room and the quarterbacks and all the good

249
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 3: running backs and obviously the good defense. Like I'm forty

250
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 3: years old and I remember going to Commonwealth when there

251
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 3: was no one there and we absolutely sucked. But that

252
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 3: being said, I've had some wars with my buddies over

253
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 3: the last two years. I think stoops peaked about two

254
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: years ago. Just to be real with you, and I

255
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: just I don't understand.

256
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: Wars with your buddies. Do they agree with you or

257
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: disagree with you?

258
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 3: They agreed with me in the long run of things.

259
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: Just to be real with you, I think you probably

260
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: peaked too. I mean you probably peaked as well. I mean, look,

261
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: there's no doubt that it's gotten worse. What's frustrating to

262
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: me about this, and I don't know if you disagree,

263
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: but like when we were going twenty five years ago

264
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: or twenty years ago and looked awful, we had no talent.

265
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: We had no talent, right like now there is talent

266
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: on this team, you know, and and that I think

267
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: is what frustrates.

268
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: People, absolutely absolutely man and and and one last thing

269
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: on the the the buy out, And this has been

270
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 3: my question. It was morely understanding on the contract that

271
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 3: was it six seven wins Bowl games? My question is

272
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 3: I understand and the beginning why that added more time

273
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 3: and more money onto the contract. Why didn't they ever

274
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: usk that?

275
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: Okay, well you have to you have to go back

276
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: to I mean it's sort of like again, I feel

277
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: like we're having similar conversations. To win, Calvin John, you

278
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: have to go back to win. These contracts were revised

279
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: and redone. I mean, stoops. We won ten games two

280
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: years or three years ago, right, and I think that's

281
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: when the contract was redone and Stoops had a lot

282
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: of leverage then, man, I mean he had a lot

283
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: of leverage. He had just won ten games. If you

284
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: go back to after the season where we won ten

285
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: Will's first year we had and then won ten games

286
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: in two of the last four years, right, So for

287
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: Kentucky that's crazy. So if Mark Stoops's agent says, I

288
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: want more money and I want this, what is Mitch

289
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: Marnhart going to do? He has to do it, you know,

290
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: So I don't I you're right, but I think the

291
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: addition of years and stuff probably they had to do

292
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: that too, because what if after that next ten win

293
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: season he leaves and goes to a similar Kentucky type program,

294
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: not A and M. But like somebody on our scale,

295
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: our fan base would be furious.

296
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

297
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: I kind of It's kind of similar to the cow thing,

298
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: like are you really gonna let John Calbary walk? Where

299
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna really let a guy who won ten games

300
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: to the last four years walk? I just think it's tough.

301
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: It is.

302
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 3: It's very tough that I appreciate it.

303
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: Thanks, Yeah, I mean, you know, I understand how tough

304
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: that contract looks today, But it was a different situation then,

305
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: and I just we just have to I think we

306
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: just have to remember that who's next.

307
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: Keith is next, Keith, go ahead, Keith?

308
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 4: All right?

309
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 5: Kay? Excuse me, man, I don't I don't want to

310
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 5: be all negative. I got two points, ones about the game,

311
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 5: ones about the program. We had two Google line plays

312
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 5: that that went against us, right, you mean.

313
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: One when we got stopped and then when they scored,

314
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: and who knows if they scored or not? Is that

315
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: what you mean.

316
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 5: Exactly that those those those could be two game changers

317
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 5: right there.

318
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: They could.

319
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 5: They could we have a first we have a first down,

320
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 5: the one mont guard line, we stop a touchdown.

321
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: You're exactly right. I mean those plays go differently. Look

322
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: if this game had finished thirty four to twenty, I'm

323
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: with you, But he didn't, you know what I mean.

324
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: And and so while those plays frustrate me, they're not

325
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: going to be my excuse for a forty eight to

326
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: twenty game.

327
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 5: I get that. But but a lot of things could

328
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 5: happen when when when you don't score touchdown versus do

329
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 5: or verse give it up?

330
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. But I guess what I would

331
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: say is, you know, yes, I agree with that. But remember,

332
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: let's just put all that aside. It's thirty four to twenty.

333
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: We're driving. We get inside the thirty and we run

334
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: four of the worst plays I've ever seen, including a

335
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: tempet to sweep with barrying Brown on third down, and

336
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: we throw it on a fourth and six, we throw

337
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: it one yard five yards behind the line of scrimmage.

338
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: At some point when we do stuff like that, I

339
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: can't get too worried about whether or not that guy

340
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: was in or not. I mean, I didn't think he

341
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: was in at all watching it live. There is a picture,

342
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: a still framed picture that a photographer took from on

343
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: the Florida sites, and he's in on that one. Now.

344
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if his knee had been down before

345
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: or not. It's a still frame picture, but you know

346
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: it does exist.

347
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 5: And but and now I go to my to my

348
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 5: mind less negative is I feel like Stoops is Tony Bennett.

349
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 5: He is he hates the he hates what football is.

350
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 5: Right now he is writing out the contract.

351
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: I wonder if, Yeah, I don't if that's the case,

352
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's implausible. By the way, he

353
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: doesn't seem happy to me right now. I think it's

354
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: especially here and I don't know about you when he

355
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: talks to Tom Leach after the games. If that's what

356
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: it is, then he needs to not do it after

357
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: this year. I mean, I don't know that's what it is.

358
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: But if it is, because don't you agree with me,

359
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: man Like, if you can't do this, then you can't

360
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: do it, you know, right? But I mean, is not gonna.

361
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 5: Change nine million dollars a year. You're not gonna wait

362
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 5: for nine million dollars a year.

363
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: Though, I will say this about him though, I don't

364
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a dude who just stays here

365
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: just to take the check. I think if he doesn't

366
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: feel remember you know, he had he had his father die.

367
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 5: For a while, he might for a while. He might

368
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 5: for a while.

369
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe we'll see. I mean I hope not, because

370
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that's good for anybody. I wants for him.

371
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 5: I want to believe that too. I want to believe

372
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 5: that too. But you put yourself in the same would

373
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 5: you walk away from now?

374
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: That's that's a fair question, A fair question. Fair fair

375
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: question I appreciate to call. It's hard to just say

376
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: because there's a really good chance that if he goes

377
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: somewhere else now after this, he ain't getting the money

378
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: he'd get here. He's probably missed that time.

379
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 2: Right, that A and M job less?

380
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that ain't well. The A and M

381
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: job was different though. I mean he's he's not gonna

382
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: get offered again. He's not getting offered an A and

383
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: M kind of Now. Now, if he were to quit here,

384
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: I do believe somebody would hire him. I believe a

385
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: good like a school like Kentucky would hire But I

386
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: bet they wouldn't pay nine million dollars. He'd probably make

387
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: four or five million dollars. So you know, it is

388
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: what it is. And who's next, Ethan, Ethan, what's up? Ethan?

389
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 6: Hey, Matt, that's what I got a comment and a

390
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 6: question here. Uh So, I would just like to point

391
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 6: out that the potential best win in the Mark Stoops

392
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 6: era is what's now ranked eighteenth ole miss.

393
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 7: Notice, I don't think that's.

394
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: The best win in the market. I don't think that's

395
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: the best win, don't. I think we beat Penn State.

396
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: We beat Penn State and Citrus Bowl. We beat Louisville

397
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: that year with Lamar with him coming off the Heisman

398
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: on their home field. That Florida team we beat in

399
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen finished ten and three. I mean, I don't

400
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: I look, if Old Miss finishes eleven and it finishes

401
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: ten and two makes the playoff, then maybe they are.

402
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: But he's had good wins. He maybe hasn't had the

403
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: signature beat the number one team in the country, but

404
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: he's had good wins.

405
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 6: And I agree. And this to add on that that

406
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 6: I don't know if you realize that Penn State was

407
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 6: seventeen at the time too, But like I say, they were.

408
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: Seventeen after we beat them. They were seventeen after we

409
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: beat them. But remember if you go back and look

410
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: at if you go back and look at that game

411
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: and there was a twelve team playoff that year, there's

412
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: a really good chance that the two teams that would

413
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: have been fighting for the final birth were US in

414
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: Penn State. They probably would have picked Penn State. So

415
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: we then beat them. But so, I mean, those are

416
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: good wins. They're not maybe not world beater, but they're good.

417
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 6: Right, And I got a question here for you. So

418
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 6: I'm just thinking long term, whether it's football, baseball, basketball, soccer,

419
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 6: or whatever, is it something that can be put in

420
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 6: a coach's contract that they after their first two years

421
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 6: as head coach, if they fall below five hundred, their

422
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 6: buyout could go down.

423
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: It can.

424
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 6: Is that thing ever.

425
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: Happened to me? It can, but they've got to agree

426
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: to it. And what coach is going to agree to that,

427
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: especially when they've had success. I mean, well, it's a million,

428
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: it's like the comp But but what Mark Stoops would

429
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: probably say is I'll go somewhere else that offers me

430
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: nine million and doesn't have that in it, right. I mean,

431
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: it's ultimately all contract negotiation is just leverage. And the

432
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: reality is when Stoops renegotiated his contract, and then six

433
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: years ago when Cal renegotiated his, they had all the leverage,

434
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: so he didn't have any leverage.

435
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 6: But at that point, you're kind of betting on yourself.

436
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 6: So they may offer, you know, a million more, say

437
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 6: he'd get offered ten million. If he accepts, you know

438
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 6: that you're not going to lose.

439
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: It's easy to say now when we lost to Florida.

440
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: But remember, I mean, are you old enough to remember

441
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 1: when Guy Morris walked away from here to go to Baylor?

442
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: Do you remember that?

443
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 6: I'm twenty seven.

444
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: Okay, so God Morris many years ago and other people

445
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 1: would know this situation better than me. But Goy Morris

446
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: was coming off a decent year, left here to go

447
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: coach Baylor because we wouldn't pay him enough. Rid got

448
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: crushed for that. Well, I don't think you can do

449
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: that coming off a ten win season, right.

450
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 6: So, and I just have one last little question for you.

451
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 6: Do you say if it wasn't forty million, do you

452
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 6: think there is a number. Do you think if there

453
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 6: was ten million, he's smiling like ed or Dron headed

454
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 6: to the beach tomorrow.

455
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. It depends on how the season would end.

456
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I appreciate the call. I mean,

457
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: I think Mitch really appreciates Mark a lot. And I

458
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: think there's other stuff at play. I mean a lot

459
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: of it. We've talked about the show. Most of the

460
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: football donors were cultivated by Stoops. You know, if you

461
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: were to get rid of him and they didn't want that,

462
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 1: you'd have to start over again. I mean, there's a lot.

463
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot to it. It's not just so simple

464
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: as just write a check. But ten million is different

465
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: than forty million. But I also think it will depend

466
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: how the season is. There's a big difference between finish

467
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: with four wins and fishing with six. So I think

468
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: we got to wait and see what happens. Who's next, Lance, Lance,

469
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Lance?

470
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, man, there's I mean, there's all kinds of things

471
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 8: to say, including Stuke's contract, But one thing I want

472
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 8: to hit on is tell me why in what world

473
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 8: doesn't an offensive coordinator bring in a quarterback that everybody

474
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 8: knows it's either going to run or hand the ball

475
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 8: off on a crucial third and six in the third quarter.

476
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't like I didn't like that either. I

477
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: don't under I didn't understand. First of all, it felt

478
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: like to me, this was the best passing game Brocket had,

479
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: So I didn't understand it's a third and six passing

480
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: situation that the dude pass right and then you're exactly right,

481
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: I mean, Gavin is not gonna throw. And then I

482
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: still don't understand what our fascination with trying to get

483
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: bury on on the outside. We haven't been able to

484
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: do that all year. Like, Yeah, I'm with you. I

485
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: didn't understand that play all though.

486
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 8: Nobody did, and I just it just goes back. It

487
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 8: seems like the game planning. I don't know, it's just

488
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 8: nobody's in sync. It seems like to me.

489
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: I agree with that. It feels like, you know what,

490
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: there are people that know a lot more about football

491
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: than you or I that could break down the specifics.

492
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: But I think what you just said that it doesn't

493
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: feel like we're in sync is totally valid. Exactly.

494
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's all I have.

495
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: But all right, I appreciate it. If I'm nine to eighth,

496
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: twenty two eighty seven, Let's do one more before we

497
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: take a break. Who's next, Joe, Joe, go ahead, Joe.

498
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, thank you. Matt, I want to try you're one

499
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 9: of your points before the show started. Here and everything

500
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 9: come out the time management, Matt, I mean Buryan Brown

501
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 9: gave us life. This guy those ninety nine yards on

502
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 9: a kickoff. Now, earlier, coach Ster just blew a timeout.

503
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 9: He wanted to argue with the referees and we lost

504
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 9: a time out. But Matt, we still had two timeouts,

505
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 9: and he does not take that last time out. He

506
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 9: does us about fifteen seconds run off the clock. Now,

507
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 9: Matt hell Murray had a buzzer a field goal at

508
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 9: the bozzer would be used in this game if we

509
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 9: could have got the ball back.

510
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: But I don't Here's what I don't understand. He let

511
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: twenty seconds run off and then call timeout, So like,

512
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: if you're gonna let it run out, just let it

513
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: run out. I don't think. I think they make decisions

514
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: at the end of these halves just completely on the fly,

515
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, wait a minute, maybe we should try. Okay,

516
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: twenty seconds later they call time out. I'm with you

517
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: that I don't even care what bothers me about their

518
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: time management is not even that they choose differently than

519
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: I would. It's that their decisions have made no logical sense.

520
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 9: No, man, I'm seventy two. I've been around for a

521
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 9: long time and I've watched a lot of UK football.

522
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 9: But this time management with this head coach Mark Soups,

523
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 9: I just don't understand it. It's like, it's like, well,

524
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 9: we'll be okay in the second half. Well when you

525
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 9: left points on the field, yeah, let points on the field.

526
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: Second But what I don't get is he let twenty

527
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: seconds run off and then't called time out like that.

528
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

529
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 9: That's three that Stree play, that's three plays or maybe

530
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 9: even four if you if you play it right. Well,

531
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 9: that's what I just don't understand. I'm all for the guys.

532
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 9: I love UK football, but by gosh, you cannot. You

533
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 9: cannot win college football nowadays by giving up the leaping

534
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 9: points and not going far. And that's part I don't

535
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 9: understand about any Thanks a lot, So I agree with.

536
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: You, appreciate call. If I'm nine two eight h twenty

537
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:07,239
Speaker 1: two eighty seven, I accept that, like if there are

538
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: two choices to be made, and there's a case for both,

539
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: that someone else may choose differently than I do. But

540
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: but what I want is to have a coach or

541
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: anyone in leadership who, even if they choose differently than me,

542
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: at least the decision is logically done. What I don't

543
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: understand about Stoops at the end of these halves is

544
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: it seems like not only does he always choose differently

545
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: than what I would have done, but he doesn't even

546
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: execute his plan logically. And I don't get that, And

547
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: it has to be because there's no one figuring out

548
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: in those moments what to do. He If I'm nine

549
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: two eighth twenty two eighty seven, we will take a break,

550
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: take your calls. It's the Local Toy Dealers KSR Postgame

551
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: Show quarterback and is a Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame

552
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: Show eight if I'm nine two eight oh twenty two

553
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: eighty seven. One person writes, uh, this is uh. Bryce

554
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: says Matt. We didn't win ten games three years ago.

555
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: Mark Stoops wasn't worried enough about his program, and those

556
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: games got vacated. Yeah, I mean, you can blame a

557
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: lot of stuff on Mark Stoops. I don't think it's

558
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: Mark stoops responsibility to make sure Chris Rodriguez fills out

559
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: his time cards on his off campus job, you know,

560
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't put that on Mark Stoops. So

561
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: and also the concept of vacated games in twenty twenty four.

562
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: And I love making fun of Louisville Ford as much

563
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: as anybody, but the concept seems a little antiquated with

564
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: what with what what college sports is now. But but

565
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: if that bothers you, then that's fine. Who's up next?

566
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: Let's go to Matt.

567
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: Matt, what's up? Matt?

568
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 10: Hey, let me tug.

569
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 11: Obviously, Mark Stoops he can't be fired, and I don't

570
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 11: think he deserves to be fired. He can't fire your

571
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 11: all time winning as coach after one disappointing season. He

572
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 11: deserves the opportunity to write the ship if he wants to.

573
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: I sort of agree with that for the most part.

574
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: I do think well, first of all, I mean, again,

575
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: the theoretical talk of firing, like you said, is dumb.

576
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that anybody deserves to keep your job forever.

577
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: But what Here's what I worry about though. I just

578
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: think there are these times in college sports if you

579
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: look historically, where the whole genre shifts as to what

580
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: it is, and we are in one of those times

581
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: right now. In two or three years, college sports will

582
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: look completely different than it looks now, and that'll be

583
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: what it looks like for the next twenty five years.

584
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: And I worry that we are heading into that transition,

585
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: maybe at the lowest point we've been in fifteen years,

586
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: and it's the worst time to have it. And so

587
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: that's why the timing worries me so much.

588
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 5: Does that make sense, Yeah, I think it does.

589
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 11: I just think we have reached higher hides. I'm thirty

590
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 11: one years old.

591
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 10: We have reached higher.

592
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 11: Hides under Mark Stoops than we have and the rest

593
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 11: of my life. We went through I mean, obviously Probation

594
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 11: years and Richbrook years and Joker Phillips hears. We've reached

595
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 11: higher highs under Mark Stoops with a couple ten and

596
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 11: three seasons. I just think, if we can finish this

597
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 11: year six and six, beat Auburn, Murray, Louisville, get a

598
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 11: bowl game, we're good. If we don't, I think it

599
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 11: might be time for Stoops.

600
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you, an, I think six and

601
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: six and four and eight are two really different things.

602
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: I really do. Just just terms of overall vibes and

603
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: all that, I appreciate the call. Let me give an

604
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: example of what I'm talking about, just in terms of

605
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: like his like shifts in college athletics, Like ten years ago,

606
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: when conferences were starting to align as like mega powers,

607
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: that was the wrong time to not be good. There

608
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: are teams like Missouri that are in the SEC because

609
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: their football program wasn't that bad and adding them at

610
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: that time made sense. Like I don't know if Louisville's

611
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: in the ACC when they got in the ACC if

612
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't for the fact that Rick Patino actually had

613
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: that basketball program competitive and Bobby Petrino and Charlie Strong

614
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: had the football program competitive if their programs had been

615
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: where they were two or three years ago during realignment,

616
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: they mean, maybe like Memphis and left out. So I

617
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: think we're in one of those shifts right now in

618
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,959
Speaker 1: college football. We are moving more towards a semi professional model,

619
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: and I just think this is the worst time you

620
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: could be bad, because I think everything's about to change,

621
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: and it'd be real nice to be one of the

622
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: programs doing well when that change occurs.

623
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 2: But how is this possible? I mean, this was Stoops's

624
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: most talented roster to date.

625
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I think at its core,

626
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: our offensive line stinks. Yeah, I really believe. I believe

627
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: that's a huge part of it. I mean, all these

628
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 1: other things are important in their problems, and the defense,

629
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: you know, the secondary took a step back today. I mean,

630
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of little things you can say, but

631
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: at its core, our offensive line is terrible and that

632
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: causes problems with everything else.

633
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 2: Is the jury still out on Bush Hampden or have

634
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: we seen enough bad play calls?

635
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 1: Within the thought? I think that it's not been great,

636
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: But I also think he's hampered by the fact that

637
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: like things we took for granted, like running it on

638
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: third and one one and knowing we were gonna get

639
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: the first down, we can't do with this group. You know,

640
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: he can't do it.

641
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 2: He has too the sun we have to play, and

642
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 2: we have.

643
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: To play these tight ends and that because we can't block,

644
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: and then we have less receivers downfield, which give us

645
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: fewer options. You know, there's so I don't think he's

646
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: like blown me away, but I also think he's limited

647
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: by the fact that our offensive line is not good

648
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: and it's probably the worst it's been since Stoops first

649
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: or second years. Doing good, doing good? What's up, guys?

650
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 7: I wish I was doing good tonight, but I'm not.

651
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just.

652
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 7: A lot of things you can say, but I just

653
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 7: want to, you know, throw it out there that coach

654
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 7: Stops if the absolutely best coach we could have had

655
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 7: for our program for the last several years. It's bully

656
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 7: for him. What do you guys think that we could

657
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 7: do from a team standpoint to like make us overcome

658
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 7: like the obstacles in front of us?

659
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: You mean, how do we beat Louisville and Auburn? Really,

660
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about, right, I mean, I think

661
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: we certainly have that's the have That's I agree.

662
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 9: I think that's the only chance we have to uh,

663
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 9: you know, to to Robra Stephen.

664
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: We we have the players to beat to win those

665
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: two games, right, I mean, I think we have the

666
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: talent to do that. Uh. And but I think they've

667
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: got to clean up mistakes. I will say to you,

668
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to see some dramatic shift.

669
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think you can say, for instance,

670
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: take this guy out, put this guy in. I don't

671
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: know that there is any of that. I mean, I

672
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: really don't. We kind of you are what you are

673
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: at this point. So they just got to go win.

674
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: They got to go play better. I mean, we could

675
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: have beaten George, we could have beaten Vandy. We didn't, right,

676
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: so now we just have to kill me. Well we

677
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: could have. I mean I don't think you know, I mean,

678
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: we the South Carolina games.

679
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 9: Sorry, I'm not trying to talk to Elly.

680
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 7: I think that kills me and everybody else in this

681
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 7: fan base.

682
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 9: We could have done those things, and now we are

683
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 9: basically we're locked into two games for the year to

684
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 9: determine what we're going to end up and that.

685
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, did I appreciate the call? Doing good?

686
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, now somebody can also say, well,

687
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: we could have lost Ole Miss. So I mean, you know,

688
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: there's you could do that all day. You are what

689
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: your record is. But they can beat Auburn and Louisville,

690
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: they also can lose to Auburn and Louisville. So you know,

691
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: I thought I thought we'd win tonight, and instead we

692
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: lost by twenty eight. So I'm I'm kind of done predicting.

693
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: I have no idea what's going to happen next week,

694
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: but you may. I think there's let's say you win

695
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: next week, you're gonna come into that game against Louisville

696
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: where I think the fan base's perception of Mark Stoops

697
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: Billy could come down to that game. It kind of

698
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: did that last year and the last year. But I

699
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: don't think people last year were like, we've got to

700
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: make a change. If they had lost a little, we

701
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: still would have made a Bowl game, you know what

702
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Like you still would have You might get

703
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: there this year, And honestly, if you lose last week,

704
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: you're probably already there or she suld be lose next week. Talbor.

705
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: Who's next, Nate? Nate? What's up Nate?

706
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 5: Yeah?

707
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 12: Man, I got a point in a question. First point.

708
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 12: This is the first time in the Stoops There, I'm

709
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 12: sitting next to my girlfriend. I'm taking her to her

710
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 12: first UK game where or we live in Texas. We're

711
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 12: taking her to my her first UK game next week

712
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 12: in here wearing a Duke basketball shirt. And I thought

713
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 12: to myself watching this, I can't wait for basketball season.

714
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 12: This is the first time in the Stoops era. I

715
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 12: was watching that game and I thought to myself, please

716
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 12: let basketball season come.

717
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 1: Fay No. I mean it's a good thing in some ways.

718
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: It's probably a good thing for Stoops that basketball starts Wednesday,

719
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: because it will divert some attention.

720
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 12: And then my question, Matt is in the Stoops era,

721
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 12: we've only had one top seven finish in the SEC

722
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 12: and points per game in total offense, and that came

723
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 12: from an offensive coordinator who's leading the top five offense

724
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 12: in the NFL right now. So what that being said

725
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 12: is if this gets any worse. I granted, like Stups

726
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 12: isn't getting fired, You're right about that, but where's the

727
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 12: push to say, hey, let's.

728
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 5: Go grab that guy in New Orleans.

729
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: He's a top But what does that mean? I mean

730
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 1: when people when I continue to come back to what

731
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: does that mean when you say where's the push? What

732
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: would you like people to do? I mean, there's nothing

733
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: anyone can do, Like, nobody can force that to happen,

734
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: even if you think that's the right thing to do,

735
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: like tweet. You know, I think there's people who think

736
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: if they tweet really hard that that will happen. Like

737
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: the money is the money, so it's gonna be I mean,

738
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't care if we finish four and eight. It's

739
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: gonna be Mark Stoops's decision whether or not he's here

740
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: next year. You know what I mean?

741
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: Oh he hung up?

742
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: Okay. I mean it's just like like people wrote me

743
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: after the game and they go mad, When are you

744
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: gonna say what needs to be said? And remember like,

745
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: first of all, I don't know that it needs to

746
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: be said that he's gone yet. I'm not sure that

747
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: I'll even think that at the end of the year.

748
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: But even if I thought that, it's not gonna change anything.

749
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: Mark stoops is gonna decide whether he's the coach next year.

750
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 1: That's just the fact. So you know, that's what makes

751
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: it a little bit depressing because I don't really know

752
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: that there's anything. There's no pressure that can be put. Really,

753
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: as weird as that sounds, Let's do one more and

754
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: then we'll take a break. Who's next, Jordan, Jordan, what's up? Jordan?

755
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 13: Hey man? I just wonder who is in Mark Stoop's

756
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 13: ear when he's hiring an offensive coordinator because bush Handon

757
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 13: is awful and we're starting to see that.

758
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: And I don't know that I totally I don't know

759
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: that I totally agree with that. I mean, I don't

760
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: know that he's he's I don't think he's done great.

761
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 1: But you know, we thought me included. We thought Shannon

762
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: Dawson was I understand that. I understand that, but I

763
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 1: also think we have the worst offensive line in the SEC.

764
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: But we thought Shannon Dawson was awful, and he's now

765
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator for a team that's gonna make the

766
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: playoff in Miami. You know, there were people that were

767
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: ready to get rid of Liam Cohen last year, and

768
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,959
Speaker 1: now he's orchestrating the Tampa Bay offense that's top five

769
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Eddie Grand we all are ready for.

770
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: But Eddie Grand was good. We just didn't like the style.

771
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: But Eddie Grant's arguably our best team was with Eddie Grant,

772
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: the team that beat Penn State in the Citrus Bowl.

773
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: So I think at some point that's on stoops, like

774
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: we can only point to these offensive coordinators so long.

775
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 13: I don't feel like bush Hammon is a fit for

776
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 13: what we have at quarterback right now though.

777
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: Well maybe, but bush Hampden beat Ole Miss on the road.

778
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: Bush Hampden played Georgia, who just went and whipped Texas.

779
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: Bush Hampden played him to a one point game. Our

780
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: defense was a big part of it, but our offense control.

781
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we couldn't get in the end zone, but

782
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: we controlled the ball. I think we didn't we have

783
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: the ball for forty minutes of that game. So I

784
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. I'm just saying I'm not I'm not

785
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: saying bush Hampden's great, But you know, I feel like

786
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of these shows over the years

787
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: where people were like, well, Neil Brown's not what we

788
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: thought he was. Man, Shannon Dawson is this, and Eddie

789
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: gran Is is ancient in the way he calls things.

790
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen second time arounds not as good as the

791
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: first time around. I mean at some point, like it

792
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: can't always be their fault.

793
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 2: No, you're making sense. It was just four and five

794
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 2: and you throw the ball behind the line of That was.

795
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: A terrible calling. That was a terrible call. But I

796
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know that I'm ready to say

797
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't know what he's doing, but that I agree.

798
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: I thought that was a true Let's take a break,

799
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: we'll do final segment. AF. I'm nine two eight twenty

803
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks about voting in the president.

804
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: You I always talk about, I don't know an undecided voter.

805
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: You're the one, right Like, you're the guy the one

806
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 1: all these candidates Trump and Harris are chasing after you. Billy,

807
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: You're the one. You're the only person I know who

808
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: is undecided.

809
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 2: A big decision coming up though November. Maybe they should

810
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 2: send more of those texts my way, that is sending

811
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 2: it to you, but like, I don't.

812
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: Know another person who is undecided but you, And so

813
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: I'm got so when I when I hear people talk

814
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: about the undecided voter, I just picture Billy r Sports

815
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,959
Speaker 1: as the you are the face of the undecided voter.

816
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 1: Hey five, twenty two eighty seven. All right, who's up next?

817
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 2: Let's go to Josh.

818
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: Josh, Go ahead, Josh hey Man, first time? Long time?

819
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: Who are what's up?

820
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 14: I just wanted to talk about when that, Like, Like, I.

821
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: Don't get it.

822
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 14: Why we put him there just to run the ball? Hm,

823
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 14: it's it's you basically take up.

824
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:04,760
Speaker 1: Half of our offense.

825
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 14: At that point, it's gone, Like passing offense is gone.

826
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 14: So every defense in the country knows blitz Blit's that play.

827
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 3: He's not gonna throw it.

828
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a fair point. I also don't

829
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: understand why at the end they didn't play him instead

830
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: of Cutter Bowley, Like what a terrible situation to put

831
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: Cutter Bowlie in by the way for his first game

832
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: down twenty one at Florida, Like, and he throws a

833
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: pick six first play, Like if you want, if you

834
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: want Gavin wims It to throw, why not do it? Then?

835
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: To give him some run. I didn't really understand that either.

836
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, they let him throw the ball in the I

837
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 14: can't remember the team we played with, the team we

838
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 14: beat bad. They let him throw the ball in that one,

839
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 14: and he threw dimes. They just won't let him throw

840
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 14: the ball any other time.

841
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they need to, because you're right, he'll

842
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: be more effective. I also don't understand, though. It feels

843
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: like when he has a third and one or a

844
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: fourth and one, he always gets it right. So why

845
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: did we have two third and fourth and ones where

846
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: we ran a quarterback seek with Brock, Like, if he's

847
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: gonna why don't we keep letting him do it until

848
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't get it? You know? Uh, I don't know.

849
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not the one made to make the decisions,

850
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: but I appreciate the call. Derek says, Matt, I can

851
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: tell you pressure we could put on UK. What if

852
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: Kroger Field looked like it did when Joker played or

853
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: played Vandy. I mean, I think that would definitely be

854
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: a statement. Still a different situation. Though Joker was making

855
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: two million. Joker had like one year left on his contract,

856
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: so I think the school holding two million, not the same.

857
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's a big difference. Who's up next, Andrew, Andrew,

858
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: what's up Andrew?

859
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 9: Hey? You can hear me?

860
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: Yes?

861
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 4: Okay, A few things first. One thing that Buss does

862
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 4: it drives me crazy, is his personnel groupings are so bad.

863
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 4: So we were down two score there in the second half,

864
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 4: and he's constantly running new people out.

865
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 5: So what that was.

866
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 4: Doing was allowing Florida the seventh so we needed every

867
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 4: second we could get your down multiple scores. So he's

868
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 4: like changing Willie and Joshkatis constantly, which I personally don't

869
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 4: think there's much of a difference between any of our

870
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 4: tight ends, but that was allowing so much time off

871
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 4: because Florida was just walking players onto the field and

872
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 4: so we just constant time being run off second on

873
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 4: fourth and eleven. Your season's on the line, no, Dame Key,

874
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 4: no Barryon Brown?

875
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 10: Are you serious?

876
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? I didn't get. I think you are exactly right

877
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: about the personnel groupings. Okay, because not only that, you know,

878
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: the best drive we had, I think was when was

879
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: to start the second half, when we ran up tempo

880
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: the whole time, right coming out of halftime, and when

881
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: you change those personnel groupings, you can't go up tempo

882
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: because you're right. They let him sup so that I.

883
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 4: Could see some of Florida's coaches just walking those dudes

884
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 4: on this.

885
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: Of course they and that's what they should do. So

886
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: like our best drive of the game was the one

887
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: where we ran up tempo, and that was I think

888
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 1: the only time we did it. And then you're exactly

889
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: right on the fourth and I appreciate the call on

890
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: the fourth down to have neither Brown nor dang key

891
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: and makes negative sense to me. I cannot believe on

892
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: two fourth downs we targeted a player that has one

893
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: reception on the year, both of them. That's I don't

894
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: get that either. Let's do four more and we'll call

895
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: the knight. Who's next? Dog? Dog? How are you? Dog?

896
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 9: Hey, I'm doing good man. Well. I appreciate everything y'

897
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 9: all do for UK Sport. I'm a lung time ticket holder.

898
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 9: Also contribute to the nil, yes, and I'm really hurting

899
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 9: right now.

900
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 15: And let me ask you a question, dog on the

901
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 15: nil thing, Cause like when you make the decision.

902
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: To contribute on the nil, does like do you look

903
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: at this and say I'm less likely to do that

904
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: next year? Like I'm really kind of curious with people

905
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: who do that, what the success or failure of the team,

906
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: what it will lead you to do in the future.

907
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 9: I'm I'm right now, I'm I'm disgusted. You know that

908
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 9: may change here in a doe more weeks or a

909
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 9: month or next year, but right now, I just don't

910
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 9: think we'll get an investment on our quarterback. We're paying

911
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 9: him like over nine hundred thousand dollars and he's just

912
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 9: not We need a quarterback and our officeneive coordinator is

913
00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 9: out of his league and we'll de hurt my Now.

914
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I appreciate it, dog, and thank you for

915
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: the no I understand well you're entitled to it, and

916
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: thank you for the kind words there too. I do

917
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 1: you know? The new age of college sports is what

918
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: it is, and I think it is more, in my

919
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: personal opinion, more fair than what it was before. With

920
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: that said, nothing in life is free, and in exchange

921
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: for players getting money that I would argue they deserve,

922
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: the expectation of how they're looked at is going to

923
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: be different. If you're going to be paid like a pro,

924
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: people are going to judge you like a pro. And

925
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: I think It's going to be fascinating to see when

926
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:59,240
Speaker 1: people are giving money to pay players like a pro

927
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: if they don't get that performance, will they keep doing that?

928
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: I think programs all over the country are dealing with this,

929
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: and we are going to be one of those this year.

930
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 1: Three more Who's next?

931
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 2: Brandon?

932
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: Brandon?

933
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 9: Go ahead, Brandon, Yes, sir, How are y'all doing?

934
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: And that I'm doing good?

935
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 16: Well, what I'm calling in to say is is that

936
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 16: I don't Mark Stoops. It feels like he's living in

937
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,959
Speaker 16: the shadow of his bigger brother, Bob Stoops. He's trying

938
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 16: to chase that and he's just not ever going to

939
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 16: match it.

940
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: Why do you say that? I mean, what does what

941
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: does Mark Stoops having a bad season have to do

942
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: with his brother?

943
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 16: Well, I mean it's not necessarily that I mean, but

944
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 16: it's just like you know, I mean, you got a

945
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 16: bigger brother that does better on you. But in the

946
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 16: first half, but.

947
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: His big brother, it might be that his big brother

948
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: being successful is what drove him to have the success

949
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: he has now.

950
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 16: Yeah, but in the first half, we ran four straight

951
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 16: plays on the one yard line right up the gut,

952
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 16: and every single one of them got stopped. Instead of

953
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 16: running an RPO play and trying to fake it and

954
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 16: like fake a run and throw a flat run when

955
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 16: you could have you could have done that and faked

956
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 16: out the defense when they knew what was coming. He's

957
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 16: so predictable as a coach.

958
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,720
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I don't disagree with the play calling.

959
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: This is now back to back and I appreciate the call.

960
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: Back to back games where we've been right at the

961
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: goal line and get zero points. So I mean, that's

962
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: that's a disaster. I don't think that has anything to

963
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: do with his brother, but uh yeah, I mean we've

964
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: been inside the five now two straight games, uh, and

965
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: come away with zero points and you're not gonna win

966
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: like that. You're just you're just not gonna win. Two more.

967
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: Who's next, Joe, Joe, go ahead, Joe.

968
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 10: Hey, Matt Uh, I'm just I know he's a great guy,

969
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 10: a great kid. But I'm just curious why Jagger Burton

970
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 10: continues to start. I mean it looks like to me,

971
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 10: he has, you know, at least a penalty or with

972
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 10: the block every game and every time we put in

973
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 10: Dylan Ray. I mean he's not a you know, an

974
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 10: elite blocker, but he does his job, and so I

975
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 10: just I don't.

976
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I I think the their answer to that

977
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 1: question would be they don't feel like anyone's better. The

978
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: one position where I think that argument is tough is

979
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 1: exactly what you said. I mean, what we have seen

980
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 1: of Dylan Ray has been seemingly pretty serviceable and good.

981
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: So you might say, well, why don't you try it?

982
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 1: I will say, though, and I don't know. You may

983
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: you may have played offensive line or something. I don't

984
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: consider myself a great judge of interior offensive line play. Uh,

985
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: I think I you know, if can judge tackles a

986
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: little bit because you see it, but I don't. I

987
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 1: don't know. So I don't watch Jagger play by play

988
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: to be able to say, to be honest with you, yeah,

989
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: And that was what I used to rely on Freddy

990
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,399
Speaker 1: for that. Freddie was the dude who would break down

991
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: interior offensive line play for us. So it's hard for

992
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: me to say.

993
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

994
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 10: And then you know my second question is, I mean,

995
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 10: I know you have some some inside information, but can

996
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 10: Gavin Wimsett just not throw the ball or like.

997
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 14: I don't understand why he's not given more of an opportunity.

998
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they again, And I think this goes

999
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: back to the Rutgers days and just kind of the

1000
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: way he played there. I don't think they necessarily feel

1001
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: like his decision making in the passing game is all

1002
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 1: that great. Now, can he throw it downfield a little bit?

1003
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: Of course? And I it feels like to me, I mean,

1004
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: he seems like he does a pretty good job figuring

1005
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: out on the read option, like what what to do,

1006
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: So throwing into where he also had an option to pass,

1007
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 1: to me, doesn't seem like it'd be the worst thing

1008
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: in the world.

1009
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 10: I mean, why not give him at I mean, give

1010
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 10: him the time.

1011
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 9: It's the experience.

1012
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you. I feel like,

1013
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,720
Speaker 1: if you're gonna trust him enough to run the ball

1014
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: inside the ten, which is a pretty serious time of

1015
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: a game, then you should trust him enough to throw

1016
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 1: a pass during the game. So, uh, I agree with him.

1017
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. Let's do one more and we'll

1018
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,280
Speaker 1: call it a not Who's next.

1019
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 2: Or Cutter Bowley being put in that situation.

1020
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: I don't. I didn't. I don't understand that. Like what,

1021
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: I feel like, that's a terrible situation to put the

1022
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 1: kid in. I mean you want to get cutter bowlie

1023
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: reps do it against Murray State in a few weeks, Like,

1024
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,479
Speaker 1: I don't understand that. And now he's zero for six

1025
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: in his first game and he's and he throws it

1026
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: in a pick sick, Like I just wouldn't that have

1027
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: been a perfect time to see how you have? I mean,

1028
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: that feels like I don't. I didn't get that. I

1029
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: really didn't. But who's next? All right?

1030
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:05,760
Speaker 2: Final caller?

1031
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: Jake, Jake, go ahead, Jake.

1032
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 17: Hey, Matt, No, I was just I was on my

1033
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 17: way home from the game. I went to the game tonight, okay,

1034
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 17: and on the right before the fourth or eleven that

1035
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 17: you were talking about, it was weird. So there was

1036
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 17: a TV timeout. Mark Soops was completely away from the

1037
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 17: offense by himself, not sure what he was doing, but

1038
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 17: he wasn't talking to any of the players, not the

1039
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 17: other coaches, just standing over there by himself. But as

1040
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 17: I was driving home, I was just thinking it was

1041
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 17: like at the top of Mark Stoup's era at Kentucky,

1042
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 17: we finished second in what was the SEC East this season.

1043
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 17: If we were to finish in what would be the

1044
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 17: SEC East, we'd be last. So that's the progression that

1045
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 17: we had gone under the Mark soups era, and I

1046
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 17: don't see it getting any better. And at this point,

1047
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 17: if we don't make a change, the conversation definitely need

1048
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 17: to be getting started. Thanks, Matt, have a great night.

1049
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,720
Speaker 1: J Pet. I think that's man. I think that's fair.

1050
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you do have to remember that when he

1051
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: got here, we were last in the SECSED and I

1052
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: hadn't really thought about it like you're saying it, but

1053
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: you're right. There's a very good chance we finished last

1054
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:23,439
Speaker 1: in the SEC East this time, so you know, life

1055
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: comes full circle. And in some ways I think about

1056
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:33,439
Speaker 1: the basically back to back plays with barryon Brown where

1057
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: he lets the ball go through his hands which leads

1058
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: to a near pick six, and then immediately on the

1059
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: next play runs a ninety nine yard touchdown back like

1060
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: that's the Barry and Brown experience, and unfortunately it's kind

1061
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: of been the Kentucky football experience this year. But the

1062
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: problem is we're not getting enough ninety nine yard kick returns.

1063
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: We're having way too many drop through the hands for

1064
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 1: the other team to run it back, and that's unfortunate,

1065
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: but it is where we are, and I think next week.

1066
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: I really do believe. I think next week is a

1067
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: game that it's not gonna win. Everybody back over. But

1068
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: if you lose that game to Auburn and we go

1069
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: into a stretch Vandy, Florida Auburn where we thought we

1070
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: could win all three and play Tennessee in a game

1071
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: that would be one of the most important in UK

1072
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: and years. If instead we lose all three and we're

1073
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,480
