25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 4: with me. Ryan, Uh, North Carolina Central one time. I

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 4: think I've told the story a couple times on here

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: about when I spoke about the death penalty at North

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 4: Carolina Central many many years ago. Basically that's predominantly an

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 4: all African American college, and I got up and spoke

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 4: about it and proceeded to get peppered with questions for

31
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: an hour and a half. And that's my one interaction

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 4: with North Carolina Central and it was a positive one.

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: Hopefully tonight will be positive with basketball as well.

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 5: I remember you telling that story. I had no idea

35
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 5: it was North Carolina Central.

36
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: North Carolina Central. Yeah, we spoke.

37
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 4: I spoke at like four colleges around North Carolina and

38
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 4: there was somebody that would speak with me at all

39
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: of them, and then he skipped the one at North

40
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 4: Carolina Central and that was the one. They invited their

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 4: entire like freshman class too, So there were like two

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: thousand students in the room and.

43
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: That was it.

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 4: It was good, but it was quite intimidating as you

45
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: had to sit there and speak about a controversial issue

46
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: right in front of a mass crowd.

47
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 3: I don't think Kentucky will have that many much problem tonight.

48
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 5: So they asked questions for that long? Were they like

49
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 5: legit good questions?

50
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was this is not how I

51
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 4: thought we'd start to show, Drew, but it was.

52
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was talking about.

53
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: How I was against the death penalty, and I was

54
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: talking about my client's case. There were two people who

55
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 4: were going to be executed, the first two in North

56
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: Carolina in like twenty five years, and I was expressing

57
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 4: talking about their cases, and then while I was against

58
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: the death penalty, and then they just were asking questions,

59
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 4: most of which Drew were like hypotheticals of the same thing.

60
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 4: They'd be like, so this wasn't long after nine to eleven.

61
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: They'd be like, if somebody did nine to eleven, should

62
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 4: they get the death penalty? And it would just be

63
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 4: increasing difficult, like increasingly worse things than I'd have to go, well,

64
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: I'm still against a death penalty then too, And they

65
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 4: just asked me kind of the same thing over and over.

66
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 6: I didn't know you had this big connection to our

67
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 6: big opponent tonight. I remember that story but never replaced.

68
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 6: That was in C Central.

69
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 4: It's on ut schedule line of Central, so that's I

70
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: haven't thought about that school since then. But they'll come

71
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 4: in tonight, and Ryan, I think the Cats, I mean,

72
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: I don't know. There's really nothing they can do tonight

73
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 4: that's gonna change anything going forward.

74
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: Would you agree?

75
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 4: I guess it's Saturday will be their next chance to

76
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: do that.

77
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's absolutely not one thing I think they can

78
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 5: do tonight to improve the attitude of Big Blue Nation Saturday.

79
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: What if they come out like, don't miss a three drew,

80
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 4: they hit like twenty five in a row, would that help?

81
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 3: Well?

82
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 6: Actually, I wrote a blog post of what they need

83
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 6: to do tonight and it actually doesn't even involve a basketball.

84
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 6: I think fans just want to see them act like

85
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 6: they like each other, Like go out there, have fun,

86
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 6: celebrate your teammate, help them up off the floor if

87
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 6: God forbid, they dive on the floor, but just owe

88
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 6: some togetherness. I think that will because they need to

89
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 6: hit a reset, like after last Friday, there needs to

90
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 6: be a full reset. Maybe just have some fun tonight

91
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 6: and we'll go from there with Indiana on Saturday.

92
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: See what's the best way for them to act like

93
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: they like each other, like walk out hand in hands.

94
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I want to see them like hugging each other

95
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: like you.

96
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: Know, congo line. The thing, man, is this a nursing hall.

97
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 5: Where they're recreate the football picture?

98
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 7: You hold hands and jump up and kick your legs

99
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 7: up in the.

100
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 4: Work for the football team either though, that's what we

101
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 4: need together in the picture.

102
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: We took a little groof for that picture.

103
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 4: I think wondering about that picture was probably still uh

104
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: still fair. So yesterday it seemed to me the conversation

105
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 4: around Kentucky, uh, Kentucky world has been really two things.

106
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 4: One the question of is it acceptable to boo, which

107
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 4: we talked about a lot about yesterday, And it seems

108
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: like most fans almost right.

109
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 3: If you had told me ten.

110
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 4: Years ago that this fan base would be in a

111
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: place where I would see even little old ladies saying

112
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 4: yes you can boo, I would have been shocked. But

113
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: it seems like most of the fans believe that's okay.

114
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 4: We put we put a video up yesterday on social

115
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 4: media Mario did of our discussion, and surprisingly little pushback from.

116
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: People about it.

117
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: I think the new age of college sports, which I

118
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 4: think has a lot of positives. Also though, has led

119
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 4: to a viewpoint of fans with a professionalism of Okay,

120
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 4: that's what it is. So now, like the guy who

121
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: called Shannon and Billy show, it's like if I fired

122
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: my gardener, although I didn't realize he would go around

123
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 4: and boo his gardener, would I think, right, that's just

124
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 4: how it is now. Is that that's part of the

125
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 4: trade off of guys making money.

126
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 5: It is a different era, and now you're not necessarily

127
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 5: a college student athlete. You're a professionally trained, professionally paid

128
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 5: athlete now, and I think people would take that attitude.

129
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 5: I never thought I would ever see it that Kentucky

130
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 5: fans would boo their own team the way they did

131
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 5: in Nashville the other night.

132
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 7: But I think that's the age we live in.

133
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: But you took the view of the like you're becoming mister.

134
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 4: Old school. You're like, we shouldn't boo. But you kind

135
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 4: of got shouted down yesterday. Did you find a lot

136
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 4: of people after the show that agreed with you on that?

137
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 8: Very few?

138
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 7: I mean I got some very few, Okay, all right?

139
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 5: And like I said the other day, I understand while

140
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: they were booing. I just wouldn't do it myself. I

141
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 5: just think it's a it's a that's a bad look.

142
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 9: Now.

143
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 4: During the next part of the conversation, then went to

144
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 4: what is the cause of the problem. And on this point,

145
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 4: I don't think we're talking about the basketball cause.

146
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 3: Because I think there's a lot of basketball courses.

147
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: But people then go to what's the cause of the

148
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 4: of the team either not caring or not liking each other?

149
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 4: And there are two things that come up the most.

150
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 4: The first one is people want to point to some event,

151
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 4: and I mean, if you've been around this fan base

152
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 4: at all, everyone has I think I've said I've been

153
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: sent over a thousand times.

154
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: All right, Matt, don't get put this on me.

155
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: But my friend is related to and rubber butt, and

156
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: they all tell some version of, if not the same story,

157
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 4: some version of a story that I just have to

158
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: tell you. From my perspective, I think is likely not

159
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 4: the case. I think any time a story gets that

160
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 4: far out, it's likely not the case. But there is

161
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: this desire to find an event that caused it. Do

162
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: you think Drew, that there is an event or a

163
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: something that caused it? Whether it be in the Louisville

164
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 4: locker room or something before that, or do you think

165
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: it could just be you know, sometimes people just don't

166
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 4: get along and sometimes people just don't like each other.

167
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: What do you think is the more likely scenario.

168
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 6: I still struggle with this because if it was one event,

169
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 6: and we've heard plenty of room, that should only affect

170
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 6: a few people, the whole team is playing bad, like

171
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 6: not to just rag on everyone, but I feel like

172
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 6: some of these rumors we've heard, Okay, why does that

173
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 6: keep Brandon Garrison from jumping for a rebound? Or why

174
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 6: does they keep Trenton Noah from making a three?

175
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 8: So that's why.

176
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 6: Sure, maybe something happened, but that still doesn't explain why

177
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 6: the whole team looks bad to me, because if it

178
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 6: is a one off, you know, teammate versus teammate on

179
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 6: something that shouldn't affect everybody, and if it does, then

180
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 6: Pope needs to do a better job of getting that

181
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 6: out of the locker room and getting everybody on the

182
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 6: same page. So I'm still perplexed of how the whole

183
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 6: team is so bad if it was one uh one thing.

184
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 4: You know, there there's always been over the years and

185
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: sometimes in the Cal years this was me, and sometimes

186
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 4: it was Kyle Tucker. And then sometimes it would be

187
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 4: like with Cal, it might be like Mike the Corsi

188
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 4: or whatever. There's always somebody who when they say something,

189
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 4: you kind of know, okay, this is the message that

190
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 4: the staff wants to get out right. I don't think

191
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 4: Pope has that guy, meaning like, there's nobody that talks that.

192
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 3: I say for sure that came from Mark Pope.

193
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 4: Probably the closest one is is Matt Norlander and probably

194
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 4: Jeff Goodman, although even then I don't think it comes

195
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: from Pope. I think it comes from assistance. I don't

196
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 4: really think Pope talks to anybody. So because of that,

197
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: I keep waiting to see from Jeff Goodman or Matt

198
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 4: Norland or the signal of what's really going on, and

199
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 4: then nothing comes out right, which makes me even more confused,

200
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 4: because it does seem like.

201
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just that the coaches are perplexed.

202
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 4: And they have no idea why this is happening, which

203
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 4: is right in some ways, even worse than if we

204
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: had an explanation.

205
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 5: I am doing the both that something happened before that

206
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 5: Louisville game, because you know Pope is honest to a fault.

207
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 5: I don't think he would have even said that if

208
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 5: it's something something didn't happen on.

209
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: The you know, but he's trying to play that down.

210
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 3: You don't think that that matters.

211
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 7: No, I think something happened.

212
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

213
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 7: I guess I don't know what it was.

214
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 4: When you think something happened, because it's like logical deduction,

215
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 4: or do you like, is there a little Ryan Lemon's scoopyess?

216
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 5: No, no, no, scoop. I I'm basing at all on

217
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 5: what I feel about Mark Pope. I don't think he

218
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 5: would have said that if something didn't happen. So what

219
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 5: if it's a combination of the of both. Maybe something

220
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 5: did happen, and it's maybe something that some of these

221
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 5: guys just don't like each other.

222
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: It did look to me though, Okay, so the little

223
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 4: bit I was around the team, which included some of

224
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 4: those preseason practices, in media day and even some of

225
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: the preseason events drew I will say it looked to

226
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 4: me like they got along then, So I mean, you know,

227
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 4: I don't know, And maybe when adversity hit something, we

228
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: will always wonder what happened in that locker room. And

229
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 4: I think if you were going to point to a

230
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 4: singular event, I think that would be when it made

231
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 4: the most sense.

232
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: But now you know, I don't know.

233
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 6: It's been a month, like it really has, Like if

234
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 6: it truly was like a teammate on teammate thing figured

235
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 6: it out. It's been a month calling in your office,

236
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 6: throw the boxing gloves down and say, y'all work it out.

237
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 6: We got bigger goals than whatever you all have going on.

238
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 6: It has been a month since that locker room, and

239
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 6: it's just getting worse. If something like that happened, it

240
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 6: should linger a little while, get it out of their system,

241
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 6: and then let's go win some basketball games.

242
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 8: That's why you're here.

243
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: And we've seen y we've.

244
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 4: Seen Ryan lose it before, right, Yeah, he gets that

245
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 4: and then he gets he's sometimes fine later that day.

246
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then he holds a grudge against people too though, yeh, But.

247
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: He doesn't hold a grudge against us. He holds a

248
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 4: grudge against like two.

249
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: People, right, Well, maybe that's the two people that.

250
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 4: Makes it Ryan where you can't get over that, because

251
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 4: that has to be what this team is like.

252
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: They're holding the grudge, they can't get over.

253
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 5: Being disloyal, lying to my face that that that'll get

254
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 5: you on my black list.

255
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: Well he really, he always ring lifetime ban is a.

256
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: Lifetime ban, all right.

257
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 4: So then the second thing that people say is, Okay,

258
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 4: the problem is all these guys are.

259
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: Making money and so they don't care anymore.

260
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 4: Willie Cauley Stein Drew, of all people, of all people,

261
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 4: put out a post almost suggesting that this morning, saying, well,

262
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 4: now all these guys got cars and stuff, and so

263
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 4: they don't care as much. I find that funny considering

264
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 4: really calling time's time here? Would you agree with the

265
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: hat Drew that that's at least amusing coming from him.

266
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, trying to be careful.

267
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: Here, Yeah, that's what I'm saying, you gotta be careing.

268
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

269
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 8: I will say the cars have even improved since the Caliperi.

270
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: Cars have proved.

271
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 6: The carved Now it's even Maseratis. I think back then

272
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 6: it was just like a BMW. Now it's Maseratis.

273
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 4: But they weren't driving around Pinto's back then.

274
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 3: It's just the way they were still driving good cars.

275
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 4: But that doesn't explain, though, Drew, these other teams that

276
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 4: are making money and doing well, Like, if you want

277
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 4: to say it's cause of the money.

278
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 3: Then you have to explain to me why these other

279
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: teams do well.

280
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 4: More specifically, if you want to say it's because of

281
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: the money, how do you explain when these dudes in

282
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: the NBA, you know, throw their bodies on the line, Like,

283
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 4: it cannot be that it is just the money. Now,

284
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: some people don't react well to money, but some people

285
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 4: were selfish when they were getting nothing, Like human nature

286
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 4: can be selfish. So I personally do not blame the

287
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: money because there are others. I mean, Michigan's getting paid

288
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 4: more than anybody and they're playing great. I don't think

289
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 4: it's the money, Drew. I think it's the people, not

290
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 4: the money. Do you disagree.

291
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 6: I'm with you on that because there's schools that have

292
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 6: had some high paying athletes who are doing exactly what

293
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 6: they're paid to do. And also it like if you

294
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 6: got money, and like, oh, if I play well, I

295
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 6: get money, that would get you want to play more

296
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 6: to get more money. Like I look at the way

297
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 6: and people say, oh, his mind's on the NBA.

298
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

299
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 6: I'm watching him lose money by the second every time

300
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 6: he gets on the basketball court, because if I must say, yeah,

301
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 6: if I'm watching him pout and give no effort, I'm

302
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 6: not drafting. So if money was the motivation, I would

303
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 6: almost think they'd be they'd be selfish, but they'd at

304
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 6: least be playing hard.

305
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean might look shan.

306
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: I think there was a philosopher that said, MO, money,

307
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,599
Speaker 4: MO problem right if you but if you have it,

308
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: you're gonna keep trying. I just Ryan, I don't believe

309
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: the money thing at all, because I'll give you I

310
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: use example of Michigan. Let's use Texas Tech. Okay, Texas

311
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: Tech threw massive amounts of money in their football and

312
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 4: basketball program. They have that booster who does all those

313
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 4: stupid score Act commercials, and he's put all this money

314
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 4: into Texas Tech. And guess what, they're number four in

315
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 4: the football playoff rankings and they're in the top ten

316
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 4: in basketball. Why he went out and got dudes with

317
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: money and they wouldn't played hard. So that clearly worked

318
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 4: for him. It's not working here, and so I don't

319
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 4: blame the money. I blame us, our guys, our coaches.

320
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, if the money has is a factory. If whatever

321
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 5: happened and for the little games of factor. It all

322
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 5: comes down to that roster construction.

323
00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 7: Who you have on the.

324
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 5: Floor, and you're your your returning guy, You're two big

325
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 5: guys you were counting on. Garrison and Otega have have

326
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 5: done nothing really to help you much.

327
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 7: I do.

328
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's they're supposed to be your leaders, your stars,

329
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 5: your starters. But then you know you heard Pope last night,

330
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 5: He's coaching show. Oh take it just had the best

331
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 5: practice he's had in two years this week.

332
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 4: I have to say the room, the relentless positivity is

333
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: like would be like listening Shannon to ted Lasso after

334
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: a seven game losing streak. Like I love ted Lasso,

335
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 4: but sometimes I need you to like not tell me

336
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 4: things are positive.

337
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: No, not everything in life is beautiful. Sometimes there's some

338
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: ugly in there, and and we saw that, we've seen it.

339
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, Io the Coin show last night, what'd you say?

340
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 6: I booed the call in show last night, ed Kevin Greevy.

341
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 8: Stories.

342
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 4: When they start doing that, when they start bringing on

343
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 4: players and doing thirty minute interviews instead of taking calls,

344
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 4: you've already given it away right there where we are.

345
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about the good ol days only actually,

346
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: let's talk.

347
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 3: Let's let's talk about it.

348
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 4: I like Kevin Greevy, but when you bring on Kevin

349
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 4: Greevy right after a thirty five point loss, you are

350
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 4: saying that you don't want to talk about it, and

351
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 4: that's the worst way to do it with fans. I'm

352
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 4: just telling you they've never learned this lesson, going back

353
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 4: to Tubby Smith when he was broad on Jeff Shephard

354
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 4: right before he left. Like, you can't do it like that,

355
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 4: they still do it. They always make them the same

356
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 4: mistake and nobody ever learns a f nine two eighth

357
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 4: twenty two eighty seven. We'll take a break, be right back.

358
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 4: This is Kentucky Sports Radio speaking to somebody who ended

359
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 4: up with MO problems, Channon after their MO money, the

360
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: singer of this singer of this song.

361
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: Right, that's right, Yeah, it didn't work out too well.

362
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 3: Have you ever watched that documentary yet? I hear it's good.

363
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 6: I'm all the way through it already done, went straight

364
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 6: to it and beinged it. Oh. We used to have

365
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 6: rap song disses. They've just dissed each other with music.

366
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 6: Now we have full blown documentaries dissing each other. I

367
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 6: love it made this one bought the footage from Diddy's

368
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 6: people and then use it against.

369
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 4: Say, know that fifty bought the footage from Oh I

370
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 4: didn't know that company.

371
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, fifty swooped in and did it.

372
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 6: So it's kind of like a disk documentary on Netflix.

373
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: Is it on Netflix? Yeah?

374
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 6: It's not a great look for not that any of

375
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 6: this has been a great look for Diddy, but somehow

376
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 6: it gets much worse for him with this documentary.

377
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 3: Really.

378
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 4: All right, well, one person, So I've compiled Ryan just

379
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 4: a partial list of the various people who people have

380
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 4: texted the text machine and said they told them the

381
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 4: story of what's actually going on.

382
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 3: All right, So these are people.

383
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say what they said, Chandon, but these

384
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 4: are people who people have said have told them what's

385
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 4: really happened.

386
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 2: I don't believe it, don't believe any of it.

387
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I agree with you.

388
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 4: But let's the question is which of these people do

389
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 4: you think has the best chance of knowing? Okay, this

390
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 4: is just in the last twenty four hours. Kenny Walker,

391
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 4: do you think he would know.

392
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 8: He is everywhere?

393
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 7: Yeah?

394
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 3: All right, Jackson Robinson, do you think he would know?

395
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 7: I won't say, no, Where's caraving around? Is he right now?

396
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: Is he Linda Gordon's top aid?

397
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Drew's a big Linda Gordon fan.

398
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 3: You think Linda Gordon's top aid would know.

399
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 8: She's the top aids, the leader in the clubhouse.

400
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 4: So far of what you've said, all right, Robert Stivers,

401
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 4: stud the state Senator. And then finally my favorite, this

402
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 4: one just came this morning. Steve Bachman of Backman Chevrolet.

403
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 5: Not a sponsor. Now you said Paul Miller or Paul

404
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 5: Miller four Now he would be man, we had to

405
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 5: talk about it.

406
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 4: These are just the people who people have written the

407
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 4: text machine to say they know what's going on with

408
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 4: the players. I'm going to say, of all those, I'm

409
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 4: gonna say Steve Bachman and.

410
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: Bought Yeah, more so than Kenny Walker.

411
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 4: I mean, when it says it went well, Kenny's not

412
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 4: like he's not in practice, I mean, well, we don't.

413
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: Think the guy's like taking a break from selling cars

414
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: to go watch the practice and get in the locker room.

415
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I didn't even have Linda Gordon's top

416
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 4: aids name, So how am I supposed to believe that

417
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 4: they know?

418
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 8: Maybe they're operating the shadows.

419
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: Maybe the bagman guys selling them cars or something. I

420
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe maybe even you're onto something here.

421
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 6: Jackson Robinson's still around a lot. He has former teammates

422
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 6: that are on the team.

423
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 4: I thought Jackson Robinson would have seemed like, you know,

424
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 4: he would know that's exactly right.

425
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 3: There's right. Wouldn't Jackson Robinson know Ryan because he was

426
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: on the team.

427
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 6: And not just the current players that are back. You know,

428
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 6: they have forty grad assistants and managers over there.

429
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 8: He probably could still talk to.

430
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 3: Where is Jackson Robinson now? Is he in the G

431
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 3: League somewhere?

432
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 8: Not sure he was in the Cavs system. I don't

433
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 8: know if he's still a part of it.

434
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 3: I think I haven't heard about him in long time.

435
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 3: All right.

436
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 4: We also got yesterday Ryan the contract for will Side

437
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: YEP five point five million dollars for five years. Basically,

438
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 4: it's five point five and five point six and five

439
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 4: point seven, so it ended up averaging about five point

440
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 4: seven between five point seven and five point eight for

441
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 4: his career. If he gets fired during that time, he

442
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 4: gets seventy percent of the contract paid out in the

443
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 4: time frame.

444
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: It would be paid.

445
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: So we didn't make the mistake of doing the lump

446
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: sum due within sixty days. This has kind of become

447
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 4: the base pay ryan for new coaches with no experience.

448
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 4: I think a lot of these other guys, he'll be

449
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 4: now one of the lower paid coaches in the SEC,

450
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 4: but it's kind of commiserate with his experience. Seems like

451
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 4: to me a pretty good deal. The seventy percent is

452
00:20:54,680 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 4: kind of standard now across college football, so less than

453
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 4: the total, but still a significant amount of money. What

454
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 4: did you think of the will Stein deal?

455
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 5: Well, hear and you say, that's kind of standard. I

456
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 5: had no idea if that was a seventy percent, if

457
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 5: that was a kind of the standard buyout.

458
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 4: In big schools. That's become kind of the standard of

459
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 4: the big schools. If you don't have any leverage now

460
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 4: when you when you re sign they end up taking

461
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 4: that out. But for new coaches, that's kind of become standard.

462
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 5: So hearing all that, I absolutely having zero problem with it.

463
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 5: You know, Kentucky got a basketball coach and a football

464
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 5: coach at a much cheaper rate than they had the

465
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 5: previous two guys, So saving some money, I guess all

466
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 5: the way around.

467
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 6: Drew, Yeah, I immediately just went to the buyout situation

468
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 6: making sure we didn't get got again paid out monthly.

469
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 6: That's much better than sixty days. Stein actually owes a lot,

470
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 6: as you said, if he if he were to leave,

471
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 6: So that was the thing I went to first. Also

472
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 6: noticed that the the extension, you know, his incentives. He's

473
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 6: got to make the playoff, not just make a bowl

474
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 6: game as you know with stud win six games or

475
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 6: seven games. Stein's is and get to the playoff bracket.

476
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 4: He gets a big bonus, but it starts with the playoff,

477
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 4: so it's not just about making a bawl. Now, the

478
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 4: second part of that is Mark stoops. Mark stoops, it

479
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 4: turns out extended his deal, so rather than have to

480
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 4: pay it immediately, they paid him four million dollars immediately immediately,

481
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 4: and they will pay him over the next four years

482
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 4: one point seven million dollars every three months.

483
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: Shannon to not coach for the next four years.

484
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 2: That's a great deal. But it's also nice of him

485
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 2: to do what he did for Kentucky because he couldn't

486
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: tut you know, all that money. Think about the interest

487
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: he could have made if he had all that money

488
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 2: up front versus spreading out one.

489
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 4: Point seven million dollars every three months for the next

490
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 4: four years at totals the thirty seven million. But as

491
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 4: Shannon points out, he didn't have to do that. He

492
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 4: could have demanded it immediately, and instead he spread it

493
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 4: out like that.

494
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 3: So they gave him four.

495
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 4: Million dollars a day he did it, and then one

496
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: point seven every three months going forward. It's a lot

497
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 4: of money. It's especially a lot of money not to coach.

498
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 4: But at the same time, he didn't have to do that. Nope,

499
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 4: and oddly they will now end up paying him like

500
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 4: that one point seven. It will make it to where

501
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 4: financially it's not that bad for Kentucky and Stoops didn't

502
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 4: have to do that.

503
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: We'll take your calls right after this KSR. TJ.

504
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 8: Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.

505
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: He'll make them pay now. More of Kentucky Sports Radio

506
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

507
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 4: So, Shannon, guys, I need to just before we go

508
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 4: to calls, one little nerve wracking thing. All right, during

509
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 4: the break, I just got a text message from I

510
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 4: got at ESPN okay, and it says, Matt, do you

511
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 4: want to meet this afternoon to talk about the New

512
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 4: Orleans Bowl. So, by the way, I am doing the

513
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 4: ESPN radio broadcast ride for the New Orleans Bowl, which

514
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: is today.

515
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: Yep, two weeks from today.

516
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 4: And apparently I'm doing the play by play, which is

517
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 4: I've never done the play by play, so I mean,

518
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 4: of course, Drew. Perfect time to debut is on national

519
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 4: radio right to heavy postseason. When's the best time to

520
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 4: learn to do live play by play?

521
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 3: Then national radio with a bowl game.

522
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 5: Perfect time with somewhat of a local team playing. That'll

523
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 5: all be listening to my Sunday morning radio boss.

524
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 4: Say to me the other day, Shannon excited to listen

525
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 4: to you do the New Orleans bo.

526
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 3: Don't know how that's gonna go. That's exactly what he said.

527
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: He does realize you have never done this before, so

528
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 2: I would exc's gonna go. The bar is probably pretty low.

529
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 4: I don't think he's got but let me just say,

530
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 4: you know, play by play is a whole other thing.

531
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 2: It's not easy.

532
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 3: And so the game gets announced.

533
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 4: It's Western Kentucky and Southern miss I think Ryan pretty

534
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 4: good draw for me, right, Western Kentucky.

535
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 7: Couldn't have been any better for you, really to get.

536
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 4: Honestly, couldn't have been any better Southern Miss. As a

537
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 4: side note, one of the guys in my fellowship is

538
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 4: one of Southern Miss's biggest boosters. Oh, so I feel

539
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 4: like I can get some information on Southern Miss and

540
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 4: then Western's Western. So he writes me during the break

541
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 4: and he goes, I'm so and so I'm your producer

542
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 4: for ESPN for the.

543
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: New Orleans Bowl.

544
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 4: Do you know who your stats and spotter are yet?

545
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 4: I don't know what that means. I've been wondering. I've

546
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 4: been wondering why strangers have been writing me offering to

547
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 4: be my spotter, because I was like, Shannon, how do

548
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 4: these people know who I am?

549
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 3: Why do they keep writing me? How do they even know?

550
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 3: I need a.

551
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: Spot to get somebody with binoculars who can see the game.

552
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 4: Turns out of ESPN has a database where they say, hey, spotters,

553
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 4: here's who where we need them for.

554
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 3: So that's why people are writing me.

555
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 8: I've been wondering, should they provide the spotter? You shouldn't,

556
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 8: you're the terrible spotter.

557
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 4: Okay, apparently I get to pick because I get to

558
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 4: pick one i'm comfortable with.

559
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 3: Here's the problem.

560
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 4: I don't know any of these people, So how am

561
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 4: I going to be comfortable with any of them?

562
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: How do I pick?

563
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: This is a problem.

564
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 8: Who wants to be my spotterer? Like a contest?

565
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 4: So I've already decided my stat's guy I'm gonna pick.

566
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pick Billy.

567
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 3: Was he an option?

568
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 2: I don't think Billy was the list of may on

569
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 2: the list.

570
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 4: But he's gonna be on the list because he went

571
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 4: to Western, right, so he can handle.

572
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 3: That big deal.

573
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 4: Yes, and I'm comfortable with Billy. Billy knows how to

574
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 4: work with me now after the last couple of years.

575
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 4: But I don't think Billy can spot. So how do

576
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 4: I pick Drew? Who to spot?

577
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 6: I mean, you're just gonna have to to get some

578
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 6: one on one, some FaceTime with these people, get to

579
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 6: know them. Can we get about their families? You need

580
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 6: to trust this person. They're gonna be in the fox

581
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 6: with you.

582
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 2: You don't now if you can get Billy, you can

583
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 2: get Ryan as your spot.

584
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 4: But I need I need at least one person in

585
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 4: this operation to know what the hell they're doing.

586
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 5: I would definitely get sidetracked cool watching something else than

587
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 5: the game.

588
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: But Ryan has done like high school football, games is ti.

589
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 4: Rian Ryan is literally the worst choice for the exact

590
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 4: reason he just said he would.

591
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 6: A spotter has to see a number on a jersey

592
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 6: immediately know who that is.

593
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 4: Like, yes, exactly, they're in a you know, for eighty

594
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 4: one wide, Like you gotta do all that and you

595
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 4: know I don't know what any of that stuff means.

596
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 3: Shammon. Yeah, so that person I will be relying heavily.

597
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 2: Here's the great thing about doing radio. If you get

598
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: it wrong, nobody can call it.

599
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 3: So nobody's gonna know.

600
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: You're gonna be.

601
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 3: Fine, But the producers are gonna know.

602
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 2: Well, they don't have to tell anybody.

603
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: But this is like, this is two weeks from today.

604
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 2: Are you practicing? What are you doing to get ready?

605
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 4: I've practiced a little bit, but you know, I've I've

606
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 4: had some stuff come up, so I've been a little distracted.

607
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 4: Now I'm my plan is to watch, I asked. I

608
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 4: asked an ESPN person, I'm gonna talk to Tom Hark

609
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 4: this week.

610
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 3: What are you laughing at?

611
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: That might be a good start. Talk to somebody who

612
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 2: does this for a living, Tom Hart, Tom Lee.

613
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 4: And he said to me, Tom has written me about

614
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 4: it too. I'm gonna get I'm gonna rely on the Toms.

615
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 4: They said to me to watch like the last three

616
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 4: or four games of these teams. So I'm gonna watch

617
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 4: Western and Southern Miss what I've always wanted to do. Sure,

618
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 4: just watch Western and Southern Miss football.

619
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 3: Western. You know almost bet LSU a couple of weeks ago.

620
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: There's a good place.

621
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 4: That's the kind of fact I can say on the radio,

622
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 4: shiite Western almost bet LSU a couple of weeks ago.

623
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 2: Now you've got three more hours to fill.

624
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 4: Now, what time Kentucky plays that day Kentucky plays Bellerman?

625
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: I believe I've.

626
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 4: Looked at the time, Ryan, I believe the postgame show

627
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 4: will be ending right as this broadcast.

628
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: Comes on the air. Perfect. See see if that's correct.

00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: I'm not doing post games. Somebody else canna be doing that.

639
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 6: I got preparing Yeah, this is the anniversary of the

640
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 6: New Orleans Bowl?

641
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 8: Is it in any New Orleans Bowl?

642
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: This is twenty five New Orleans Bowl.

643
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 6: And you've been to Southern miss Yeah, you can talk about.

644
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: West.

645
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 4: I's talk about how Nick Rash got drunk and we

646
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 4: had to try to get him home at the end

647
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 4: of the night in Hattiesburg.

648
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: No, that's what the color commentator does. You're the playboy

649
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: play guy. You gotta stick to play by play. You

650
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: can't have personality. You got to be play by play.

651
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 6: I think we're gonna have a lot of color commentary

652
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 6: from this broadcast.

653
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: I think so no play, very little play by play,

654
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: just be telling stories. But guys, there's a game going on.

655
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 2: What's happening in the game.

656
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, this may be less play by play, more code

657
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 4: for most of the game.

658
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: So well, good luck.

659
00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, stats spotder you wait two weeks. I'm on need

Speaker 4: your all support though. I need you building me up,

661
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: all right. I already had my my boss look at

662
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 4: me and go well this will be interesting.

663
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 3: I need you all building me up, not bringing me.

664
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: Tom Leech has this big board that he puts together

665
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: with all these stats and everything. You need something like

666
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: that in front of you.

667
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's somebody that can do that.

668
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: You're spotder, Billy.

669
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 7: You know Corey Price does stats for the UK people.

670
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 4: He got my stats, I got, Billy. I need a

671
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 4: spotder and I need to figure out these people that

672
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 4: write me. I don't know how to pick which one.

673
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 3: Gets to get something. You shut up. It's gonna be good.

674
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: No, it's gonna be great.

675
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 4: It's just that may be a less traditional broadcast than

676
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 4: what they're used to in the New Orleans Bowl.

677
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 7: But people entertained how many people.

678
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 3: Are listening to the New Orleans Bowl on the ESPN radio.

679
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 3: You can't be It's gonna be more now.

680
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 4: I think that's why they put me, put us on,

681
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 4: because they think we can bring an audience and then

682
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 4: we'll hopefully not bomb completely.

683
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: Who's the first, Harold, Harold?

684
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 10: Go ahead, Harold, Yes, I was micro call is concerned

685
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 10: about yesterday. Kentucky several years ago got beat at Kansas

686
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 10: fifty points. Yes they did, Yes, so that was the

687
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 10: worst offs I was just asking you. I don't know

688
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 10: who the coach was.

689
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 3: It was Patino, it was it was Patino's first year.

690
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 4: I think they went down there wasn't am I right

691
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 4: about that Ryan. Wasn't it Patino's first year. They went

692
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 4: down there and just got obliterated.

693
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 5: And he kept pressing. He wasn't going to change his style.

694
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 5: He kept doing the same thing, and they just kept

695
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 5: getting the brains beat in that day.

696
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 10: Yes, yeah, okay, well, thinking about your dad, hope he

697
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 10: gets better.

698
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir. I appreciate it, appreciate the call. Yeah,

699
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 4: I believe that was that was the scenario.

700
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 5: So, yeah, they kept pressing, kept shooting threes. They didn't

701
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 5: change their style of play at all.

702
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wish I had the same I mean, that

703
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 4: was his first year. This is the second year, so

704
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 4: it is a little bit different. What's next, Dan, Daan,

705
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 4: go ahead, Daan.

706
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 11: Hey, guys, I think I'm the basketball front. It's a

707
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 11: little bit of a search for an emotional holy Grail

708
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 11: that's not going to be found, So I wanted to

709
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 11: use a different analogy. I think you four, Billy and

710
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 11: Mario make a really good team. And I think that

711
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 11: in the summer, you're all content's probably the best. Now,

712
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 11: imagine for two months, when the games get started, three

713
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 11: of you are out, and iHeartRadio executives are crapping their

714
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 11: pants because they're trying to get the same level of

715
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 11: quality that they would have had if three of you

716
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 11: are in And so they're finding some other people to

717
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 11: fill it, and they're expecting the same quality, the same pacing,

718
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 11: the same content, And I don't think that's a realistic thing.

719
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 11: That doesn't mean that those people aren't talented. That doesn't

720
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 11: mean that those people don't care. That doesn't mean that

721
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 11: those people aren't doing it for the money. It just

722
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 11: means that they aren't up to the talent of what

723
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 11: the OG team would be.

724
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 3: That's not, in the same way terrible analogy. But here's

725
00:32:59,320 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 3: what I would say.

726
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 4: That's not a terrible analogy, and I think you're I

727
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 4: think that's correct. However, at the center point of that is,

728
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 4: you know, you would have your main returner, right, like

729
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 4: your centerpiece of the whole thing it's built around, which

730
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 4: in this case might be me and in the basketball

731
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 4: case is Otaga. It's one thing if Otaga's not there,

732
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 4: but Otaga's there, right, and while it's never gonna be

733
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 4: as good without the full complementary of things if Otaga's there.

734
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 4: And let's say Ryan is Brandon Garrison because he's been

735
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 4: around for a long time and we're back, we should

736
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 4: be able to not produce a clunker every single big

737
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 4: show because at least the two returning Stallharts are there. Yeah,

738
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 4: we might not have Drew and Shannon and Mario and

739
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 4: we're gonna get them, but we at.

740
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 3: Least got those two. That was the whole centerpiece of

741
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 3: what we brought back.

742
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 4: And if that doesn't work, then I do think you

743
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 4: have to go, wait a minute, what's going on?

744
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 11: That's fair, but I mean, what if you had to

745
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 11: set up all the electronic stuff that Billy does.

746
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,240
Speaker 12: Well some of these that's a good point at some point,

747
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 12: Well at some point that be like a sacrificial nature

748
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 12: to it, right, and like it would be really frustrating,

749
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 12: and you wouldn't be your strengths wouldn't be at your highest.

750
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 11: So I think to expect Otega to, you know, to

751
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 11: to every game give one hundred and fifteen percent and

752
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 11: think that he's just going to be smooth, I think

753
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 11: it's a little bit short sighted.

754
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 4: Fair enough, I appreciate the call, and that might not

755
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 4: be nice Drew to call Ryan Brandon Garrison he's beat,

756
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 4: He's he's.

757
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 8: Been better than I see it a little bit.

758
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 7: And their strengths where we're similar in our size.

759
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 3: Okay, that's probably not.

760
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 5: Do you did you hear any of the scuttle butt

761
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 5: from the open practice they had yesterday from the.

762
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 3: Do you have some scuttle butt? Yes?

763
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 4: Okay, well let's say Ryan's scuttle butt. But how about

764

800
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,040

00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 4: I'm making this good no matter what, even if it

802
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 4: just has to be me and Myron taking calls during the.

803
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: I don't think it works that way.

804
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: Why not you just take it?

805
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:42,080

Speaker 2: Yeah, we just completely act like the game's not even

807
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,920

00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 3: I feel like that should be on there, don't you.

821
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: I mean, we need to know the cities. We need

833
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 9: originally from Owensboro. I went to go play soccer to

834

Speaker 9: Tney College in front Roll of Virginia and ended up

835
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 9: playing basketball there as well. Tiny school like five hundred undergred.

836
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 9: My junior year, we play at North Carolina Central and

837
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 9: we lose one hundred and sixteen to thirty eight, and.

838
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 3: Well, you're gonna be on the schedule next year.

839
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 4: Your team's gonna play Mark Pope's gonna play you guys

840
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 4: next year to make sure that we win.

841
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 9: I had two threes that game at in Durham, So

842
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 9: if they if the Cats need me tonight, I can

843
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 9: come by and probably toss.

844
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: Up a few.

845
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 4: Well, appreciate to call. Do we know anything, Drew? You're

846
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 4: pretty good about knowing these teams. What do we know

847
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 4: about North Carolina Central tonight?

848
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 8: What do I not know about North Carolina Central?

849
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 3: Map?

850
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 6: Okay, I actually got a little bit scared. I saw

851
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 6: they beat Carolina about one by forty points, one hundred

852
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 6: and nine to something. But I realize it's not North Carolina.

853
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 6: There's a school just called Carolina. Did you know that?

854
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 6: They don't even have a page on ESPN.

855
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 3: There's a school just called Carolina, not even which stay.

856
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 8: No, they in C Central.

857
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 3: Where is that?

858
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 4: Uh?

859
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 8: I think it's I'll have to look that up.

860
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 6: You can't even click on their on their page on

861
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 6: ESPN dot com.

862
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 4: Wow, I didn't, I mean I lived there. I didn't

863
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 4: know there was a school just called Caroline.

864
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 6: Beat him by forty five. It's our common opponent is

865
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 6: Winston Salem.

866
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 4: Yeh, I been driven through Winston Salem a thousand times.

867
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.

868
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 8: But go ahead really threw me off too.

869
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

870
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 6: They played UNC and lost by uh forty four. That's

871
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 6: our common opponent. They do have a star player, Gauge

872
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 6: Latimore I believe is his name, shooting like forty five

873
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 6: percent from three and getting twenty points a game. I

874
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 6: actually wonder, well, I was wondering if he could just

875
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 6: maybe come over to our team. I don't know, there's

876
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 6: not really rules anymore.

877
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 8: But he's a bucket.

878
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 3: He's just like we could use him.

879
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, they go as he goes. He's first time at

880
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 6: this level. He was at another school that doesn't even

881
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 6: have an ESPN page last year from like D three.

882
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 6: So he's the name to watch, but they're not good.

883
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 6: Amore Rake three hundred and fiftieth out of three hundred

884
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 6: and sixty five teams on Kim Pumpkins, we are a

885
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 6: forty five scheduled.

886
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 4: I mean, we have scheduled the lowest of the low

887
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 4: this year. We would be interesting to see Ryan, what

888
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 4: would happen if we played like Minnesota, right, I mean,

889
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 4: because all the teams we've played have been top twenty

890
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 4: or awful yep, Like we've not played because so it's

891
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 4: hard for me to know how are we gonna do

892
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 4: in the SEC against teams like Mississippi State because everybody

893
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 4: we've played is either really good or awful, And so

894
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 4: you know this is gonna be another like we're and

895
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 4: we're that's all we're playing until not until conference played.

896
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 3: So I know when we play Alabama we're gonna struggle.

897
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 4: But how are we gonna do against like Old miss

898
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 4: or how are we gonna do against Vandy?

899
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 3: That's the thing we don't know yet.

900
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 5: You're exactly right, and our sample size we have to

901
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 5: go on is not good. We the teams you're supposed

902
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 5: to beat, you're beating the bad the teams are that

903
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 5: are competitive.

904
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 7: You're getting drilled.

905
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 3: So the teams that we're getting drilled by are really good.

906
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 5: Teams mississips Michigan State ends up being fantastic, and we

907
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 5: thought that might be the easiest of the six games.

908
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 6: Remember and three of our five wins. They're ranked three

909
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 6: hundred and twentieth or worse. Like that's hard to.

910
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 3: Get a read on anything.

911
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 8: That Saturday they're aught to be a little bit of

912
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 8: a skid though.

913
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 6: They've had two bad losses and they're starting to get

914
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 6: me after a front start.

915
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 3: Saturday they did it will not be good if we don't.

916
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 4: Now, you've got a doctor's appointment here, right, so you're

917
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 4: leaving correct?

918
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 7: Correct?

919
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 3: Yeah?

920
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 5: They had Big Blue United in for an open practice yesterday.

921
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 5: I'll give you the quick three to three hits. One

922
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 5: you never could tell they don't like each other. They

923
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 5: seem like they one hundred percent liked each other and

924
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 5: got along well. Two Cam Williams and Trenton Noah did

925
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 5: not miss a shot the entire practice.

926
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 7: He did not miss.

927
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 5: And three Jaden Quainton's practice a lot against Rhese Potter

928
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 5: going one on one with him and he looks like

929
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 5: a man child.

930
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 3: I mean, those are all good things, but I don't

931
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 3: know is that encouraging. I wish they would make them

932
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 3: in the game for tonight, maybe so.

933
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 4: Pregame show starts at four point thirty four and Ryan,
