9.26: Time to Veg - Hour 3

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is seven oh five here on a Friday morning
on news radio eight forty whas coffee and company with you.
We've got company here in studio. LMPD spokesman Dwight Mitchell
with us here and a big week for you guys
at LMPD. I know the new headquarters is officially opened
and there are a handful of you, in fact, many
of you that are already there. But eventually a big

(00:20):
group of folks from the department are going to be
in one central location. And I guess we'll go back
in time. Not to make you sound like an old man,
but when you started, where was the headquarters? Is that
the one that was recently torn down some years past?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well, I am an old man. I don't.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Oh you're a young stallion.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Well, I feel like I'm a fine wine. You get
better at aah just what I think. Well, just to
give you a little brief history, because there were two
separate police departments back then. Sure, and I was on
the Jefferson County Police Department back in those days. But
the headquarters that was torn down at seventh and Jefferson,
that was the city police headquarters. The one on Barrett

(01:03):
that just got torn down was the county last county
police headquarters there. So really those two buildings coming down
brings us to where we are today, and we're back
have our footprint back downtown where we need to be
running face forward in the community again. And in fact,
I was advised just yesterday by my supervisor that on Tuesday.

(01:24):
We actually moved in there on Monday, but on Tuesday,
just because officers were back down there, there was somebody
who broke out. I went doing a police car down there,
and one of the officers was already down there. Just
happened to be a party that to catch them in.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Right place, right time.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
So we're back. We're back where.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
We need to be, in the central part of the city, downtown,
and we're happy to be there.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
So once everything is complete and those that are expected
to be there full time are there, will this give
you as far as just a centralized location for the
department that really hasn't hasn't existed since.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
The merger well you know since the merger. Yes, we
always had a hip and it was the one that
was torn down. Of course, we have eight patrol divisions
that have their own own places like that, but it's
just like any team you know, you have a home base,
and that's of course, that's what our police headquarter is.
It's the hub of where everything essentially happens, when many

(02:16):
decisions were made. And for the last three years, because
we moved out of the old headquarters in twenty twenty two,
part of US world with the Edison Building over on
Arms being somewhere out at our training facility down on
Taylor Boulevard.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
So since twenty twenty two, it's kind of been scattered.
It is spread out, it is it has been.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
And now our executive staff and our Public Information Office
which I'm a part of, our human resources and our
performance division are occupying the fourth floor of the new
headquarters right now and it is gorgeous. It's nice and
it's great to be there.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
I mean not only having a nice new place that
you can be excited to go to because it's just
a good environment, but having a t I mean for
a team, for a workplaces. It's really healthy for camaraderie
and energy if there is a centralized place where not everyone,
of course, but a lot of people are there and

(03:12):
you're all coming from one location.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Oh yes, it's great. It's like anytime you get some
new digs, you know, yeah, of course fresh, renewed and revived,
and that's where we are. And you know, thanks to
Metro Government, the Mayor's Office, Metro Counsel, when all that
had all the resources to be able to get us there.
It's a special thank you to all of them having

(03:35):
the vision to get us back downtown.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
They got you a nice office.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
They better.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'm sure they hooked you up.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
I'm hooked. I can tell you it's all right.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
So when the merger took place, what year was that?

Speaker 3 (03:48):
That was in two thousand and three, when merger took
place in January of that year, and you know, it's
hard to believe that it's been, you know, twenty three
years since that happened.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
The lead up to that was that something that was
in the works for quite some time before it actually happened,
because somewhat, you know, I remember there being a different
a different department at that time, but I don't remember
the actual process of it actually happening. And now in
modern time, I can't imagine they're not just being LMPD.
But right, was there resistance for that? I'm sure there was, right.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Sure, yes, In course, you know, there were many votes
in terms of the county government and the city government.
Merging that family happened in two thousand and three, and
one of the first things that was merging before anything
else was the police departments and was done very quickly,
and I would say within probably six to seven years.

(04:43):
It was pretty seamless at that point of what happened
in terms of that, because I know up in Lexton Fase,
it took it like about twenty something years for that
to family phase out, and they did it in the
seventies before us. It happened pretty quick because the majority
of the officers are on h LMPD now came on

(05:04):
with the L and p D police farmers, not Minnie
County or old city officers around.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
How many OG's left, huh No, I.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Guess I'm holding up the blessed name.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Banner's a few of us that are still around, but uh,
you know, most of us have probably been LMPD more
than you were the former agencies you might have been
a part of. But it's all good. And moving into
new headquarters again brings us into a new.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Year, it can. I mean, we moved into this location
a couple of years back, and it was I mean
this is much more modern and new to where we
previously were. And I enjoyed where we were before, but
this is just again, it's the latest and greatest. It's
it's brand new essentially still is and it and it
did give me a little bit of a nice recharge,
and I'm sure you guys will experience that as well.
And just having every you know, not everybody, but a

(05:46):
lot of the core of the team together can can
go a long way. So recently there was a graduation
class some some new members to the to the t
LMPD that are that are that are brand new to
this world of being in law enforcement. We had a
listener earlier this week that asked me to ask you
what would be something that as you're just kind of
cutting your teeth, you're just getting started, that that may

(06:08):
be something in a learning curve, something that that may
just be in a you know, an early adjustment, something
that you know, despite all the training that you get,
you really don't know how you're going to react in
certain situations until that happens, right Like you can recreate
certain things. You know, you have extensive training to be
to be prepared, but you really don't know until you're
out there.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
You know, Nick, you just answered a good deal of
it because the things you learn in training are only simulated.
But when you actually get out there and you're confronted
with it, and most police officers are in this situation,
you only got a few seconds to make a great decision,
and that is because of the training that you did have.

(06:48):
So I think that's the biggest adjustment right there, is
taking what you learned in practicals and put it into
reality and help you react like that, and only that
comes to repetition. It's no different you and I use
a lot of sports analogies and I think it's appropriate
here is the fact that no matter how much you practice,

(07:08):
until you hit the court and the light comes on,
or you hit the field and the lights come on,
ultimately you'll know what it is.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
It's just like a tea bag. And I've used this
analogy before.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
You don't know what's in it until it's activated by
hot water to know what the real flavor is. And
that's what it is in any profession, in particularly law enforcement.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
So when it comes to the training, I would assume,
and I could be totally wrong here, that you just
need to be sure of yourself when you you know,
I feel like with you, with having such little time
to make to react to certain things, I mean, I
feel like whatever that reaction is, it's got to be
it's got to be direct. I could see myself as
somebody who who overthinks everything. I could just see myself thinking, yeah,

(07:49):
whatever this whenever this situation arises, here, here's the action
I'm going to take. But I would just put it
this way to it. I can see myself being a spaz.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
No.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
I gotta trust your instincts, right well.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, just like you as a parent. I mean, you know,
you thought you knew what it was, and then when
you get in it, you just do what comes natural.
And I think when you do something over and over again,
that's how it become in training. That's why so much
repetition in any training that you do is only because
you wanted to be muscle memory. You wanted to be

(08:21):
just the instinctive things.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
That you do.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
And then it's no different in law enforcement. And sometimes
you know the person you know, they'll show you. Well,
if you're doing something like hand to hand combaty someone
said well I'm gonna do this, so you'll be able
to do this. If they do that, well, it may
not happen. They might come right instead of left, and
you got to make that adjustment and you do it
more than you realize. It's just like I forget the

(08:43):
name movie one that appo karate Kid. I kept I'm
saying wax on, wax off, and he didn't know why
he was doing that. What it's those type of movements
and things you do in learning in any situation that
they become instinctive, and that's what it's all about. And
it may take many years for that to come. And
I'm very confident of the young men and women that

(09:03):
just joined our department that they're going to do the
good and that's what we always hope.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I tell you what, The human element always comes to
mind for me when we talk about law enforcement, because
there's so many people, myself included, that have never even
thought about certain things. But you don't You don't really
know until you know about a lot of things. It's
such a simple thing to say, but you really don't
know until you know about a lot of stuff. But also,
I think you will learn a lot about yourself as
an individual by doing what is asked of law enforcement

(09:32):
because it is a situation that in ninety nine percent
of other aspects of life, you'd never be in that situation.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Correct, And that's some It's a very well rewarding profession, Oh,
I guarantee it.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
And your call to that, just like your call to anything.
I guess everybody can't do it.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
And you know the importance of it. You know that
the challenges of it, you know the good days the
bad days that you know that make it such a
I mean, I could see self rewarding. I can see
that being a huge component to why those that do it.
That's got to be a big factor in it.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
It is, and I believe when you can go home
every night and you can reflect back on the day
that I do something to help somebody, at least for me,
that's the way I continually do it. Next well, next month, October,
the first forty one years that I've been with.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Forty one years.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yes, congratulations, it seems like yesterday in a lot of ways.
Of course, I haven't been in patrol in many years,
but obviously my profession has taken me to different levels
of the department. And I can tell you that there's
a few people around the department that I can look
at now and say, there goes my shadow. And that's
got to make you feel good, right, It makes it

(10:45):
makes me feel wonderful when I can do that and
see that, and that you live long enough to see.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
It, I can tell that's got to be one of
the most rewarding things for you. And what you do
is to see that. And we were talking about it
last week and even a little bit whenever Chief Humphrey
was on with us weeks ago. To there are those
that not only you saw come into the department, you
knew of them before they were even old enough to
have a job, and they follow law enforcement and they

(11:11):
not only pursue it, but they have success they grow
within that world, which again I'm sure that's a very
rewarding thing for you. I can imagine in forty one
years that's that's got to be one of the big
payoffs for you. So, patrolman, when it comes to the
new nine to one one operators having access to video,
we talked about that a little bit with the Mayor yesterday. Clearly,

(11:33):
those that field nine one one calls, they're the ones
who are going to be accessing the video. But as
someone who is communicating with the nine one operator on patrol.
I mean this could only help as far as just
getting the necessary information to respond and to clearly do
there would be to do what you're supposed to do
when you arrive.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Well, you know, it's just like I grew up with
the old Batman and the most important thing he ever
had was the utility Billy built always, Oh my god,
and that was the best one because everything he needed
is right now he needed it, it was right there.
And this is another component that we got another tool

(12:11):
the two built and I think it's wonderful. And we're ebobbing,
a society's ebobbing, and we need to reflect that and
this is one of those things.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
So what's the so the communication between someone on patrol
that it is like, actually, let's just let's just back up.
What is what is the the the chain of communication?
If someone picks up the phone to call on one
one and then of course they're responding and they know
law enforcement needs to be involved. It's not necessarily a
fire emass whatever it may be, but it's law enforcement.

(12:40):
Do they then do they then contact a dispatcher with
law enforcement that then gets to patrol. How does the
process work there? As far as just connecting to one another.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
When an initial call comes in from a citizen, they
may call nine on one, they may call our regular
line to get in that immediately goes to a dispatch,
and the dispatch is the most important person or patrol
or any part of the police department because that is
the communication, because they're communicating to the officer exactly what
the situation is, they know it to be, and what

(13:11):
they received and getting them to that location get into
them quickly.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
And the thing about it is a lot of dispatches.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Sometimes they are on with citizens that might be the
first responders that they don't realize that they are for
that moment, and they help guide the citizens before officers
can get there are ems or whatever happens. So it's
essential to have good people on there and we do.
And communication is all that. And I guess when you
just have a visual thing you can see the emotions

(13:41):
of the officer and all of those things that helps
enhance maybe the situation that come out the way we all.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Hope it does without even knowing it. It can impact
your instincts as far as what you're going to do
next in such an important but brief moment in time.
I mean, communication is key in life. It is, and
when it comes to being the person that is communicating quarterbacking,
you know, a very oftentimes if you're calling nine one one,
it's because of a very scary situation. So, uh, I'm
sure dispatchers appreciate you you saying that, because you're right.

(14:10):
What there's I mean, they are key to that entire process.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Right because they're the first line, you know, to gets
it to the next part of the first line, and
it flows. It's just like the veins in your body,
and when the blood is going through, it's got to
have a proper way to go through.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Good stuff, Dwight. As always, we appreciate you stopping in.
Always great to have you here in studio. Uh, card's
gonna win tomorrow. I need it, I need, I need,
I need an acc wind to get things. See you
asking me, Okay, he's confident. I'm confident.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
I like you.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Pitt's been a thorn on our side over the years,
but no more, right, no more, it's over, brother, Good stuff,
Thank you, whit. Let's get to a quick time out.
We've got trafficking weather on the way. Also, we'll hit
another sports update with Scott Fitzgerald right here on news
radioate forty w h AS. Thank you very much, John Shannon,
seven thirty five here at news Radio eight forty w
h AS. About an hour and a half left for
and then we are out of here. You'll be in

(15:02):
good hands, though, Tony and Dwight coming your way at
nine o'clock. They're going to be live at the Jefferson
Animal Hospital, and I'm sure they're going to be there
to promote the awesome event that is taking place tomorrow,
which I will encourage you guys to check it out
if you have not, because it's the second I want
to say second annual, but maybe I shouldn't say that
because I'm not sure if they're going to do it
every year, but this is the second year they're having

(15:23):
the Pints for Pausing People event. And it is not
only a great opportunity for you to get out of
the Jefferson Animal Hospital on outer loop and give blood
yourself donate to the American Red Cross, but you can
also have your dogs and cats if they qualify, they
can donate blood as well. And each time a pet
donates blood that can save up to four to six lives.

(15:46):
So four to six lives of pets can be saved
anytime a pet donates blood. I will admit ignorance. Did
not even know this was a thing until I got
to work with the folks at the Jefferson Animal Hospital
and they understand that I'm not the only one. I
guess it wasn't super familiar with it. And you may
have some hesitation because you know your your pet being

(16:07):
going through that process. You may have some questions, you
may be worried, and they understand that they'll put you
at ease. That's what tomorrow is about. They're going to
have some great food on hand, but you can talk
to the experts at the Jefferson Jefferson Animal Hospital and
understand what the process is and not only be put
at ease, but furthermore, understand how important it is to
have pets donate blood. It can go a long, long way.

(16:29):
So I know they're really excited about it, and I'm
hopeful that they'll get a really good crowd out there tomorrow. Again,
it's it's at the Jeffersonivial Hospital and Regional Emergency Center
on outer Loop four five zero four. Outer Loop is
the address. You can get more information at Pet Bloodbank
dot Com. Again, that's www dot Pet Bloodbank dot com.
Or you can give them a call fivebo to nine

(16:50):
hundred pets. Jeffersonentimal Hospital. They've been around for a long,
long time, forty five years they've been serving the Louisville
community and since nineteen eighty they have been open twenty
four hours a day, including all holidays. A doctor's on
site every night, including Christmas. And you never know when
an emergency is going to happen, because again that's what
it is, it's an emergency situation. And sometimes those emergencies

(17:11):
can involve your pet, which is a member of your family,
it's a loved one, and you can be worried not
know what to do. That's usually what happens when you
have a panic and there's an emergency. But you can
rely on them. They're going to be there for you.
And I'm sure there are many of you listening right
now that have been in that situation with your pet.
And you probably did exactly that. You went to the
Jefferson Animal Hospital, or maybe you didn't because you know

(17:31):
you were renew in town, didn't know. Well, now you
know they've been here a long time. You can trust them,
and I certainly appreciate their partnership with us here at
News Radio eight forty whas all right, so I believe
we're going to be catching up here in about seven
minutes with Tom Leach. We'll get his thoughts on this
big matchup for Kentucky tomorrow certainly sets up to be

(17:52):
a big opportunity because I guess beating South Carolina now
wouldn't have as much value as maybe you would have
thought before the season started. But still there aren't going
to be many wins to come in the SEC for
Kentucky because one, I'm not sure they're very good, but
also because the SEC's loaded. So this could really, I think,

(18:14):
shift the morale in one way, in one direction or
the other. Excuse me, I'm not getting choked up and
emotional talking about Kentucky football, I promise you. I just
I've got something in my throat and that that tends
to be an issue when you're on live radio and
you know you lose the ability to speak. But I
can assure you it's not me overcome with emotion for

(18:36):
this big game that Mark Stubs and his team has tomorrow.
And where is it?

Speaker 4 (18:42):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Columbia South Carolina. Am I making that up right? Okay?
So is it Columbia Missouri and Columbia South Carolina where
both those schools are That sounds yeah, I never realized that. Anyways.
I'm clearly emotional just thinking about it. But we'll talk
more with the Louisville situation a little later on because
I don't have a whole lot to add. But I

(19:04):
hope that these running backs aren't truly just that banged
up for the cards. But one's already out for sure
tomorrow against pitt That's Kewan Brown, who got a lot
of the carries last week because Duke Watson didn't play
and Isaac Brown was extremely limited. Now Duke Watson Isaac
Brown listed as questionable and Keiwan Brown is out. So
gonna be a gonna be a tall task if you're

(19:25):
short handed to go on the road and win it pitt.
I don't know how good pit actually is. However, they
have always given Louisville some trouble, So we'll see. We'll
see how it plays out tomorrow at noon up there
in Pittsburgh. All right, quick break traffic and weather updates
on the way. I'll try to, you know, regain my
composure here Again, it's not it's not that I'm getting
choked up. I just I think I swallowed a bug,

(19:46):
which again problematic as someone talking on live radio. It
is seven forty seven here a Kentucky in his morning
news coffee and company with you on news radio eight
forty whas we now bring in the voice of the
Kentucky Wildcats, it is Tom Leech here to chat with
us about tomorrow's big game on the road against South Carolina. Tom,
I'll start with us before we get to the matchup.

(20:06):
You've been in every SEC stadium, I believe, and I'm
sure those atmospheres are all great, but it seems as
if as someone who's never been there, that the atmosphere
at night at South Carolina is one of the best
atmosphere is one of the toughest environments she'll play in.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
Oh. Absolutely, Their fans really get loud and it will
be That's one of the big storylines for this game,
because Kentucky has a red shirt freshman quarterback making his
second start and his first one in an SEC road game.
So how will Cutter Bowley stand up to that? Friends
of mine on a text chain referred to him as

(20:44):
a surfer dude, so he seems to have a pretty
cool and calm demeanor. I can see that put to
the test down there.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah, and it seems like every time they play at
South Carolina it seems to be a game that takes
place very late. And I'm sure if you're Mark Stuobes.
In fact, I think a lot of coaches prefer I
they're on the get the game, let's get the game
started early and hopes that maybe people are still snoozing
a little bit.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
That and you don't have to sit at the hotel
all day with your team, with your players, just keep
trying to keep them busy with the meetings or whatever.
So but yeah, you're right, it is almost always at nine,
and it's you know, just like it isn't in Lexington.
For Kentucky games, the atmosphere is just a little more electric.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Night, no doubt about it. Cutter Bowley, as you mentioned,
getting his second career SEC start and going to be
a tough matchup, no doubt. But after the start against
Eastern Michigan, clearly it looks as if he showed that
he's got some ability. Obviously, the competition wasn't great, but
I also felt like the timing was was good for
him to get that game under his belt, not be

(21:43):
challenged in a way he's going to be the rest
of the SEC. Was the expectation for Stoops to go
in this direction and sort of hand the keys here
to a sophomore quarterback, not at this point.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
I think, you know, going into the season, I would
say because Cutter was a true freshman last year obviously,
and got to start the one game, which was the
Governor's Cup game against Louisville. It didn't go well. So
you had he played really well in that game, maybe
they would have gone all in on him to start

(22:15):
the season, but that didn't happen. So that was never
the plan for him to get the keys to the
car that early anyway. So they went out and found
a veteran quarterback, but Zach Calzada was struggling and also
got hurt, and so Cutter gets his chance. And yeah,
I'm like you, I think there was a good setup
to give him the best chance to have some success,

(22:36):
to have him go up against an inferior opponent and
then have an extra week of prep before you go
into the SEC. So that's about is well as you
could draw it up, so now we get to see
how he performs.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
On the other side at quarterback. Leonora's Sellers for South Carolina,
somebody who's believed to be a top draft pick coming
up whenever he does make his way to the NFL.
Really really talented guy. This South Carolina team, it's tough
to say just how good they're gonna end up being overall.
They do have a couple of losses, coming off of
two straight again against good SEC teams at that it's
kind of is it wrong to say? This is kind

(23:12):
of turned into a game for them where they really
I mean, you need every win you can get, especially
when you play in the SEC. But they they're going
to be extra motivated, extra hungry for this one, just
knowing that they need it. They've lost two in a
row here absolutely.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
I mean they have lost to Vanderbilt and Missouri, and
Vanderbilt beat them pretty handling that Sellers that had knocked
out of that game early in fairness, and then they
lost a fourth quarter lead last week at Missouri. So
they are in that, you know, back against the wall
mode for this game. It's ironic really that what happened

(23:48):
last year to Kentucky and South Carolina was a team
that did is exposed how big the issues were with
the offensive line. And then for South Carolina coming in,
I think rank as high as eleven, and what has
been discovered about them is issues in the offensive line.
They have struggled to perform at the high level they want,

(24:09):
plus they've had injury issues. And so Sellers is fantastic,
but he's getting hit a lot, the most sacks in
the SEC and tackles for loss, and you know, he
is a guy that is very effective running the ball,
but they haven't called as many designed runs for him.
It may be a little like you know, the way
Kentucky heddled Will Levis after he had a big first year,

(24:32):
they didn't run him as much the next year because
of you know, his NFL future. Maybe they're doing that
with Sellers as well, to where they're not using him
in as many design runs. That'll be interesting to see
in this game because you know that's an area where
he would have an opportunity to Their running game is struggling.
He might be their best running play.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
You may have answered my next question, which is just
going to be if there's a weakness that Kentucky could
potentially exploit for South Carolina. It may be the fact
that they've got seemingly the defense looks pretty solid for
Kentucky this year, and they could maybe take advantage of
that offensive line for the game Cocks that's not performing well.
I guess I'll reframe it here. What would be an
ideal recipe here as far as the gameplay, as far
as style, I'm assuming this won't be a shootout type

(25:14):
of game, but you really never know. But if it's
late fourth quarter and this is a close one and
Mark Stoop's team is in a good position to potentially
win it, how do you think we got there?

Speaker 4 (25:24):
Well? I think the defensive line. I think Kentucky would
love to see their front four guys. They'll have a
they play a three to four, but they have an
edge guy that's like a fourth defensive line and if
they can get pressure on Sellers with four, that will
be one thing to watch for early because that way
they have a better chance of containing him if he

(25:45):
decides to run. If they have to bring extra pressure,
you you like your chances of doing that against their
offensive line, but you are exposing yourself to some weaknesses
by bringing pressure. Playing more man coverage and with against
a quarterback who, as you said, could be the first

(26:06):
pick of the NFL draft. So you'd rather and not
have to do that frequently. So hopefully your front four
can get pressure on him, and then the other part
of the script for Kentucky would be running the ball.
They have not run the ball well in these last
three games that they've lost in this series. Typically when
they performed well in this series, they've had, you know,
close to or above two hundred yards rushing, and we'll

(26:28):
see if they can move the ball on the ground.
They've been much better this year in their O line
and running backs than they were a year ago, but
only one really stern test in that regard against Old
Miss Toledo's solid team. But you know, this is a
really good defensive front for South Carolina. So if Kentucky's
getting close to two hundred yards rushing somewhere north of

(26:51):
one fifty at least, and if they're getting pressure with four,
then you'd feel good going into that fourth quarter. If
you're a Kentucky fan.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Tom as always, we appreciate that's your time. Enjoy the
game tomorrow night, and of course you'll hear it right
here on News Radio eight forty WHS. Thanks again, Tom, you.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Are most welcome. Talk to you next week.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
All right, that's Tom leads to the voice in the Kentucky Wildcats.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
I cannot remember the last time Kentucky played South Carolina
on the road and it was not under the lights
in a really wild and seemingly awesome environment. Of course,
if it's your team playing, if you're out there as
the opponent, I'm sure it can get to you. All right,
let's get to a quick break trafficking weather updates on
the way, A sports update coming up with Scott Fitzgerald. Okay,
never mind, disregard we're gonna have to bypass sports. That's

(27:35):
because of my poor clock management. Apologies. Anyways, stick with
