(00:21):
just speak to them. That's all. But welcome back. This
is Eve Sports Radio. I am the brand. The phone
number is five zero two, five seventy nine hundred. This
is Sports Talk seven ninety not Christmas Talk. Sports Talk
seven ninety KRD. We've got the one and only Shannon
behind the glass. And of course Wednesday we have the

(00:44):
same guys yesterday. He doesn't have a job, just don't
tell him. Let's welcome Scott back to the show. Hey Scott,
how was your job yesterday? Work hard? I worked very hard.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yesterday. I did work very hard.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
You said this is a sports show, not a Christmas show.
But I do have a Christmas question, since you are
so happily counting the days down to Christmas, yes, do
you still leave milk and cookies out for Sanna?

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Scott? Now, look, you're trying to get personal and everyone
is listening. You don't have to tell all my secrets.
I mean, we can keep some things in the family Jesus.
So I'm not gonna say. I'm not gonna answer that question.
I'm not gonna incriminate myself. I plead the fit. That's all, Scott.
I'm not gonna tell anybody. Chocolate milk, Scott, chocolate milk

(01:41):
and oh no, raisin Christians, not chocolate chip. Now they
know this secret, that's all. But yes, Santa gets what
Santa needs. That's all there is to it. So Scotty, look,
we've got a lot to get to today. Of course,
we did our scouting report about the game last night,
so if people were able to I'm glad that we
were able to do that so that people could I did. Oh, Scott,

(02:05):
I'm gonna send you some things during the break, Oh
oh boy, I had people just killing me. I had
them killing me. I'm gonna send you some of the
things they sent me, funny little social media things that
are comical. They were funny, and I'm gonna let you
see them. But mccartinals didn't farewell. It didn't surprise me
at all. I did not know yesterday that mcaw brown

(02:28):
would not be playing. I had no idea about that,
but I still think the game went the way I
thought it would go. I'm going to show improved to
people and style of play does mean things, and I'm
going to prove that to you sometime today when we
get into it. But I gotta start with this. Those guys, Okay,

(02:49):
everyone knows that, probably a month or so ago, Reverend
Cosby my boss. I don't have a boss on the radio
show other than Shannon. I don't have a boss. I'm
supposed to be frightened the shen he's a wrestler. Scott
and Shannon and I are going to lock up before
it's over. But my real job, it's Siman's college to
have a boss. His name's Reverend Coser. We've we've known

(03:11):
each other now in sixty six, probably fifty eight years,
I mean legitimately to where we've known each other in
fifty eight years. And he took his car, he's got
an old school car to a muffler shop, and a
gentleman lets him know that he listens to the sports radio,
and Reverend Cosby's like he's got a side gig. I'm
like Scott, they're snitching on me. They're telling my boss,

(03:34):
like about telling your wife you got a side piece.
I mean, it's like, don't do that. But you know,
it's a small world. Two days ago, Frankie, who you know,
my oldest son who owns a junkie donkey. Everyone here's
a commercial. He has got a dump truck. Well, he
just bought a second dump truck. Companies doing well, continue
to support him. Police, but his first dump truck's got

(03:58):
which is parked at the storage unit, gated and closed.
He got me, Scott, he gets his kind of the
converter stolen, I mean straight gone. His workers went to
his employees went to start it, to go do a job.
He said, it sounds like we've got a race car
over here. Cad of the converter gone clean, cut off

(04:19):
out of the storage us. So Scott, guess what he's
got to get it fixed. I mean he's got to
get it fixed. He has jobs. He takes it straight
back to one and only highway muffler. I mean the
guy takes him outside, he says, Frank goes in, introduces himself.

(04:40):
Of course he's right down the service contract and he
says his name He looks at him, takes him outside
behind it, behind the fence, and gets trade to whippy.
He says, your dad, Jerry E's fan said no, nope, nope, nope.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
I don't know hold.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Greg's going whipping so anyway highway muffler. I don't know
how everyone I know is going to you, but Scott,
everyone I know is going to so of course you
don't have to throw it in that. I've got a
twenty twenty five, twenty twelve Shelby Cobra I had hit him.
Frankie put him on the phone. I said, look, I've

(05:17):
got my regular muffler on it. Scott. You know my
Shelby is not loud, but I want to be able
to make it sound loud when I want to. He says,
you just wait till after Christmas. I'll tell you exactly
what to buy and I'll take care of you. So
I'm gonna take my car to this highway muffler too
and find out who this guy is that keeps snitching
on me. Scott. He's a snitch. And you know those

(05:38):
saying highway muffler snitches get stitches. That's all I'm gonna say, Scott.
I'm gonna leave it there. I'm gonna leave it there.
And Jimmy Beverley, I don't want to hear any threats
from you either. He worked at Bluegrass for forever, close
for him. He's a bullety s guy, and he tries
to threaten me too. So anyway, Scott snitches get stitches.
I just want everybody to know that Scott's crazy. But anyway,

(06:04):
he took care of Frankie, I mean pronto guid him
back on the road, so I appreciate Highway Mufflert. So Scott,
we got this contest. Money is on the line, I
mean true money is on the oh five hundred bucks.
Five hundred bucks is within five weeks in somebody's hands,
five hundred and it's close. I want you to pull

(06:25):
up my leader, Scott, as I talk about the games today,
I'm gonna give you a little time pulup which you
just sent me. My last leader group the Games, as
we well know, and I've got them rolling in now.
People are emailing me and I'm going to let you
know who their scores. But I've got Johnny Alabama twenty one,
Oklahoma seventeen, Adam Alabama twenty one, Oklahoma twenty eight. I

(06:48):
took the under on you. Adam Greg Oklahoma twenty four,
Alabama twenty two, Joe Oklahoma twenty seven, Alabama twenty four,
just sent me his. I don't even my phone is,
but Dwight sent to me his, and I know Dwight's
in the mix for the money also and the White's score,

(07:09):
so I can get d White has Oklahoma twenty seven.
I'm putting it down right now. Gods like keep them
in order when you send them to me, so that
if you matt someone else to score, I tell you,
but Dwhite has Oklahoma twenty seven, Alabama twenty oh, that
is taken. Dwight. You can't have that. You have to
change that. So Dwight, you must change your score. So anyway,

(07:34):
but the rest of yours I will put down. He's
got Texas A and m defeating Miami. He has got
of course, Ole Miss over Tulane. He's got Oregon over
James Madison, and he has got the Bears over the Packers.
That I'm glad that was a game. We chose Scott
because it is flip flopping every caller. It's almost different.

(07:56):
There's one more Chicago than pack but it's just that close.
So anyway, Dwight, you will have to get me a
new score. That score is taken. So I want everyone
to know phone numbers five zero, two, five, nine hundred.
We'll get our scores in. Gotta get those in and
tell me right now with the drum roll, what's going

(08:20):
on with the contest. Who's leading? Give me the top
five or six guys.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
We've got Martin at number one with fifty two wins,
Ron sitting in a second with fifty seven. Third at
forty nine. We have a three way tie for fourth
with Dwhite, Brandon, and this Pat at forty seven.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Okay, great, and I'm gonna be honest with you. Brandon
missed the entire week. That's why I told people, if
you don't get your scores in, no sob stories. He
didn't hit the inner button. He sent it to me
after says I did, but it just didn't go through.
But he did not whine if you don't get them in,
you don't get them in, or he would probably be

(09:06):
one behind Mark because he had four of them. Right.
So just to let you know, guys, it's just that close.
We've got five games. Five games. Then of course it
says to narrow it down, I'm always gonna have at
least three until the championship game and then we'll all
discuss the championship week. So that's what we've got. And Scot,

(09:28):
this is the best one I've ever done. The five
hundred dollars. Billy Hayes, thank you, Town and Country, Kamo
Off Dodge, Chuck kne Guys, I saw that they were
selling things at invoice. They were selling things at invoice,
Thank you Shannon. Last week I saw the commercial on television.
So Kamoo, Dodge and Town and Country. You need to

(09:49):
get out, guys. I'm telling you you just need to
go see them. Good people, great sales staff. Half of
them were basketball players in the city of Louisville to
seal staff. I'm telling you half of them. When I
go in, Scott, I never leave. I mean, all we
do is talk about O day sports, and that's the
truth half of them. So you'll be able to run

(10:10):
into some of your old heroes. They'll sell you a
car at the right price, they'll treat your right They're
really good people. That's all I can say. So Scott, David,
let's go to David. We've got our caller. I'm not
gonna hold him all. David, Welcome to the sports radio.
How are you.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
I'm doing good? How about you, David?

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Well, look, man, when you're sixty six and almost ten months,
which means I'm getting ready to start drawing myself security,
I'm doing good. I'm doing really good.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
I'm saving four drawing line and is still working.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Hey, Hey, they're gonna have to fire me. Don't tell Red.
I'm telling you what. Rev's gonna have to fire me.
That's im I've ever had. And I'm telling you I
don't make a lot of money, but I'm telling you
I make more than I deserve. I tell you that
he gonna have to fire me. I'll be working at
seventy four, just like you. This is just a cushion.
I'm in Simmons right now because my girls team leaves

(11:04):
early they play in Ashville, North Carolina, so I couldn't
get down from my basement in time, so I came
down this morning. But I'm with you. I think I'm
gonna just work till I die because I've never had
a job. Just don't tell anybody, David. Just keep that
between you and I.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
I've worked off I've worked off my life and I
just can't set around. I mean, I've tried. I just
can't do it.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
I don't even want to try. David. I like having
something to do. I do. And what were you gonna say, smart, Scott?
I know you had something smart to say.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
What you're snitching on yourself right now? Hey, you gotta
say you're the hardest working ad in the world.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Hard is man working man in show business. I didn't
work hard at a tea. I told you all, they're
stealing money, David, stealing money. We used to David, I'm
gonna be honest with you. It's gotta tell you. We
would traveling. I would always give my players a twenty
dollars bill and we'd make them pay for somebody's breakfast.
We would go out to eat because they'd all see.

(12:02):
Of course, I did it at Howard as an assistant.
I did it at a MT and we wouldn't tell them.
You would just see the smiles on their faces when
they found out their bill was taken care of us.
And we used to have our players do that because
you know, it just is what it is. We we're
eating for free. The university was paying for our food.
So we made kids do that just so they could

(12:24):
see what it did for people. Didn't we, Scott, didn't
we what it would do for families. And it's just
a great thing. Do something nice for somebody, that's all.
And don't let them know it's you. Just watch their reaction.
That's all. You can make somebody's day, that's all. I've
been doing it forever. And Scott, why aren't you sitting
there quiet? You know I did it.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
We went, yeah, No, you're right, you are absolutely right.
So you even even to this.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Day, even today, even well that's true. I mean, but no, Scott,
I paid for those girls because you put them in
the sun. That was pitiful. We're not gonna talk about that.
That was better for what you did anyway. David. Let's
get to your scores. Brother. You know that counts is
Alabama Oklahoma. D White has to change his. He had
the exact score that Joe had. So tell me your

(13:14):
score and I'll let you know.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
It's twenty four to seventeen Alabama.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Take it.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
No, you are good. Twenty four to seventeen is not
twenty four to seventeen Alabama. You have got it, David.
Let's go to Miami at Texas A and M that's
that game. Is everyone said you going with Texas. Nobody's
picking up city. Yeah, IAmA, Scott, do you think there's
a chance of an upset? David doesn't think it.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Think that could be the one. I mean, the PA
is going back and forth. But the Miami Tecta game,
if there's gonna be one, that could be the one
that that.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Could separate people. Can Miami handle Texas and the mobile quarterback?
That's the key, Scot.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
That's the question.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
If if if Carson back to if he can throw
the football like he did at Georgia, they got a shot.
But if he plays like he's been doing, you don't
get run out. He don't get run out.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
You're right about that. You're right about that. You never know.
Carson Beck is hot or cold. He's either a top
three quarterback in the draft or he's the twelfth quarterback.
It just depends with that kid Ta Layne and Ole, Miss.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
David oh, Miss.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
James Madison Oregon, Oregon.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
I don't think James Mason's got a prayer, got a prayer.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
I watched him play Louisville and they were okay. But no,
they have no chance, not in Oregon, not.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
With out not with what I've seen with Oregon Hall
year long.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
No, you're right, I don't.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
James Madison staying close.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, other than Indiana, the only loss they've had so
that at the Bears. This is another good game, Packers
at the Bears.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
I'm going with the Packers. I'll fall about the Bears,
but I'm gonna take the Packers.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Okay, David, I've got you. Appreciate you. Be safe out there. David.
I'm not gonna I.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
I don't want, I don't want question for you.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
What do you have?

Speaker 4 (15:25):
What had last right?

Speaker 1 (15:28):
I'm gonna talk about it, David Colly, David what what?

Speaker 4 (15:33):
What did they eat?

Speaker 1 (15:34):
What were they?

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Tiny shit trees? With the Brussel basket?

Speaker 1 (15:39):
They couldn't throw a beach ball in the ocean from
the shore. But I'm gonna no surprise, no, kidd, it
didn't surprise me, David. So we're gonna get to it.
But David, you know I had people Scott, everyone seen
Tom and Jerry. We all watched Tom and Jerry growing up.
They had the cat just whipped the cat was whipping
the mouse. But somebody sent it to me saying, does

(16:03):
this remind you of something tonight? I said, boy, you
know what they really they wore me out. They someone
sent me, Oh, Mike sent me good mister Brown, good
old Rocky Talk, Rocky Talk too.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
He really liked that.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
I said, I gotta take it, Gregg like a man. David,
We're gonna get the break. Appreciate you call brother.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
Yeah, y'all have a good week.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, you too, absolutely, best of luck. And Dwight has
changed his score, so you'll know. Dwight's score is Oklahoma
thirty five, Alabama twenty seven. You've got that thirty five
twenty seven. You've got it like it's seven twenty three. Scott.
We'll come back with national news after the break. Is

(16:51):
he sports Radio talk to you in a second. Welcome
back to the sports radio. I kind of like that
little intro rate this and they're like that, I don't
know what song it is, but I just kind of
got a nice little jingle. But anyway, phone numbers five zero, two, five, seven,
seventy nine hundred. Got Shannon doing his thing. I've got
Scott bul Wage. I don't know what he does. You

(17:14):
didn't answer my first question of the show. Scott, how
was your job yesterday? You never answered? You are Tommy
on the Martin Lawrence Show. Yeah, you worked hard, Donna
work really hard doing what? Thank you? That's all? Yeah,
thank you, That's all I needed to know. Thank Everyone understands.
So now we've got Steve on the line, and we're

(17:38):
gonna bring Steve on to get his scores in. Scott,
I was taking a beating. I've been taking a beating
since last night's game. But that's okay. I'm still telling
you all nine and to his a plus for Louisville season.
At this time, it's still too early. The cake hasn't
baked on anyone. All teams will change. I told you
all what would happen, but I thought would happen, and

(18:00):
it did. Louisville's Scott has to and we're gonna get
into it the last half of the show. Louisville must
find an interior game. They have to develop one. They
have to force one, even if they lose games. They
must force one to balance their offense out or they
have no chance of advancing. I'm telling Cardinal fans that
right this minute, I'm gonna prove it. I hate it

(18:23):
that the day announcers stole my glitter last night when
they talked about one dimensional balty clubs. And I'm gonna
tell people examples of that. But let me get Steven. Steve,
welcome to the show. How are you?

Speaker 3 (18:35):
I'm good? You're how you how? Scott?

Speaker 2 (18:38):
I'm doing great?

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Thanks Steve? You right, Steve, You are right there for
the money, this is Steve. This is the best one
I've ever done. I'm gonna do it. I think I'm
gonna double the money next year to a grand I
won't have enough time to get the calls here. And
I'm telling you, I'm telling you Martin's sitting at fifty two.
And let me tell you what Martin wanted me to
tell you. And and we all know we don't call

(19:01):
guys out on my show. Y'all call me out. But
he wasn't calling that anybody were all friends. He says,
he was trying to Debo. Do you know who Debo is?
Have you ever watched Friday Steve the show? Friday the movie?
Have you ever seen it? Okay, well, anyway, it's Chris Rock.
It is really funny. It's a comedy. And Deebo was

(19:21):
a bully and he would go around and just take
people's chains and take people's bikes. He was a bully.
He ended up getting beat up in the show at
the end, but Martin said that he's going to debo
the show. He says, the contest is over, no more games.
He wanted me to give him a five hundred dollars
so I told him. I told him straight up. I said,
it's just not gonna happen. That's all there is to it.

(19:44):
You know what he told me. Don't make me call
Mama Eves on you. I said, boy, you know they're
trying to go to the family, but you're owning Steve.
You're there, Ron's there, Martin's there, Dwight Brandon, and pat
which is pat E I want to run to note,
that's Patty. She's right there. Guys. Anybody could win this.
This thing is just that close. So let's get to

(20:06):
your score. Steeka, Alabama, Oklahoma and Oklahoma. Who you going with?

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah, I'm gonna take Oklahoma twenty one to twenty.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Okay, I got you. Well, I mean that's that's like
a Briars Patch score. But I know you're not gonna
get in the bars patch with me. So you're the
only one with that, But I mean, I don't know.
I still haven't picked the game right now. I'm leaning Alabama.
I just don't I think they'll want to show people
after the Georgia championsh ss A Championship game. In my opinion, now,

(20:41):
Oklahoma defensively, maybe other than Georgia may be the best
defense in it. I maybe. So we're gonna have to
wait and see. It's gonna be some great games. Miami
at Texas A and m that's up.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
I took a little bit of upset her. I wanna
take Miami, Okay.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I mean you you're gonna have people are gonna have
two guys. It's so close these games. If everybody picks
the same one, that's why. Honestly, I'm gonna get the closest.
See if you know, I don't want to look at spreads,
but I did Sunday and Coach Beard now we're talking
and just hey, the closer you get the game, the
harder it is to pick. I'm gonna find the closest spread.
I don't care who it is with the Pro Game,

(21:21):
and I'm gonna add it. So I think right now, Scott,
go check the Packers Bears for me. But it might
even be even. It might be a half one way
or the other. But it's just that close. Tulane Ole,
Miss who you going with to see? Oh?

Speaker 3 (21:35):
Miss?

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Okay, Yeah, that's that's I hate that we have two
of those teams in no brainer. James Madison Oregon Oregon.
Oh brainer, Packers at the Bears.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
That's gonna be a good one. I wanna take the Packers. Oh,
I know, I know Parkers is out for the rest
of the year, but ooh, that's right.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
I forgot about that. Parsons is out with an ACL
We're yeah, I mean, boy, are You're still taking the Packers.
I thought about that. Got you. That is a big
loss and one and a half.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
There's still favorite the Packers are.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Okay, that's why we chose the game. I'm gonna choose
the closest game I can find. I want to make
it hard. That's all there is to it down the stretch.
So Steve, we've got you in. What did you think
of last night's game basketball?

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Steve, Well, if you're gonna take that many threes, you
need to better than twenty percent, and they need to
work on getting the ball inside. Like you said, the
crew and I just way too many threes. I think
I think you get the ball inside. And I said,
y'all hit shot twenty percent last night. When they're making
their threes are good, but when they're not, they're bad.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Well, I'm gonna prove some, Steve. I'm gonna I'm gonna
prove it to you, but just not yet, but I want.
I'm glad you said that. Scott and I are watching
the game. We're on the phone together so that we
could really be together for today's show. Right. And they
threw the ball to Frew in the post, and Tennessee
had one of their better defenders on him and threw
put him in. Scott, what did Frew do when they

(23:09):
threw it to him, It's surprised both of us. Three dribbles,
spin baseline put him in the basket, threw it to him.
What time, Never threw it to him again, not again,
never threw it down there to him again. Well, the
announcer said it, and they were correct. There's never been
a team, not even the first really running gun running

(23:30):
gun was Las Vegas, Nevada. You are live, Steas, I'm
never young, yes, but you remember Reggie theaz sudden Sam,
not Larry Johnson. I'm talking about the original Las Vegas,
Nevada Jerry Tartanian ninety points a game, no three point line.
I want all these young kids to know, no three
point line, ninety points a game. But they couldn't win it.

(23:52):
They never won it. Got me, they never won it.
You have to have both. Vegas won it with Larry
Johnson Grandmama six seven, two point fifty low post player,
putting everybody in the basket, and they pressed and got
up and down. You have to have both. If Louisville
doesn't develop both, there'll be an early exit in the tournament.

(24:15):
People asked why Denny's teams are so good. We were balanced.
Now he fought the three, I was gone. He didn't
stop Daryl Griffith from shooting threes. He didn't stop me.
Everyone' zoned us. I shot more three Scott my junior
and senior season than lol llows deep shots. He z
owned the Scott. But the bottom line is we were balanced.

(24:35):
That's why we were so good in the tournament. You
had to prepare for low post, mid range, and we
shot the jump shots. That's what makes it team good,
a tournament team. So Steve appreciate it. I got you down, brother.

Speaker 5 (24:48):
All right, y'all have a goilty you too.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
So Scott looked, we are at what time is it coming?
It's se I'm thirty four. Let's go to break. When
we come back, we're gonna jump into the Cardinals. We're
supposed to hitting national news. We'll hit it at the end.
We're gonna jump into the Cardinal game. After the break
is the sports radio get your scores in five hundred
dollars is on the line. And I know Martin Dunbar

(25:11):
he's nervous. That plays hot. He's about to chill. He
about to fumble. Ron stee here about to fumble. Trust me,
Dwhite knows he's at the park. Dwhite, He's about to fumble.
We'll talk to you all after the break. Welcome back
to East Sports Radio. It's seven thirty eight. It's December seventeenth, Wednesday,
tomorrow will be one week away. Scott, bring up my

(25:35):
man Ron, who's sitting in second place in the contest
on the line. Before I bring him on, I gotta
throw this out here. I want people to know what
we spoke about yesterday and the exact same thing happened today.
Cincinnati at Cincinnati, University of Louisville won the game. They
shot thirty eight percent from the field. That's poor, guys.

(25:57):
They shot twenty nine percent from the three point line.
Got me, that's poor. They shot eighty six percent from
the free throw line. They were twenty four for twenty eight.
That's what beat Cincinnati was the free throw line. Arkansas game,
road game, true road game, though hostile environment. Forty one
percent from the field, twenty two percent from the three

(26:19):
point line, eight for thirty seven, fourteen for eighteen, eh,
free throw line. Got me. Scott still scored eighty. But
the numbers are there. I told you now. We wanted
to watch last night day. I hate that Brown did
not play, but it didn't change. Brown played in the
first two games. Guys, you got me. You played last night.

(26:42):
Thirty eight percent from the field for University of Louisville.
Got me. They average forty seven point eight at home, comfortable,
forty seven point eight, ten point difference, twenty one percent
from the three point line, seven for thirty four. Let's
go back to eight for thirty seven at Arkansas, which

(27:05):
is what I told you, Scott. You can't win big
games that way of course, last night they did mister
free Thursday eleven for eighteen sixty one percent. Even if
they would have hit sixteen of them, if they'd hit
five more, no difference in the game. But the stats
are and what they're telling people is that if Louisville
doesn't force the ball to the interior, even if they

(27:28):
make them are not, you're gonna have a hard time advance.
That's all they do. That's what I told you before,
Scott yesterday. I said, Tennessee is going to force them out,
force their bigs out, further, make them shoot a step further,
three contest shots. Louisville still had twelve offensive rebound Scott,
that they do. But the bottom line is, you can't

(27:50):
be consistent on the road if you don't have an
interior game. So let's get our caller on run what
you got today.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
Brother Moring. Gentlemen, Jerry Jerry, Jerry, Jerry Jerry. Did I
not tell you back in the fall, before basketball even started,
Lowell has a front line problem? Yes, they do, absolutely,
But I said I said that to you. Yeah. Now,

(28:20):
I just want to say something. You're talking about Louisville's
low post presence on offense. Did you watch, I know
you did. Those big guys were posting little on the
low block and it was like taking candy from a baby,
putting the ball in the basket.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Big, strong fiscal. Absolutely yeah, and I don't know strongs,
no question.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Well you know first first, big and strong. But that
the other guy, the forty nine year old guy that
y'all play in the pivot, I don't know what his name.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Is, what is he didn't play much last night?

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Three minutes and and well, yeah, that's all he could.
I mean, it was embarrassing. They had to get him
out before and then Case and Prior looks like a
fish out of water in a game like that too.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Absolutely, the game was too physical, which didn't surprise me. Absolutely,
And when tennessee control of the game like they did
early and play their way, they're very formidable.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
At the three best coaches that Louisvill's gone up against
this year cal Perry, Rick Barnes, and Bill self, and
they all three showed you how to defend Louville. In
my opinion, it's not rocket science, and I mean everybody

(29:47):
makes it so hard. Of course, my boy Hotty duty
down at Lexington, he had no clue and you know,
and then Louisville lit it up from behind the arc
last night. Rick Barnes made a decision to know these
are not going to be easy threes if you do
make them. And I want to point out one other

(30:09):
thing too, y'all need to stay out a grown man's conference.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
I knew you were and go to that.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
I know well, p K p K wanted six against
SEC teams.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Physicality, absolutely, the physicality of the SEC and the athleticism
Without Brown, Louis was a fish out of water there.
We just don't have the physically.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
Jerry the kid, I just want to say one thing
about that might have been worse if he played. He
shoots twenty six He's shooting twenty six percent behind the arc.
Did you realize that?

Speaker 1 (30:45):
You know? I did. I said it yesterday. And the
kid that the kid, because he's.

Speaker 5 (30:54):
The young the young man stepped up that started for
him and scored nineteen points. So yeah, I thought he
played well. Actually and then uh, but.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Adrian has played really well. He's done that, He's done
an admirable job. Even off the bench. He's played well.
The problem is this.

Speaker 5 (31:15):
Mc neely was a no show.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
But that has games. That's not even that.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
Yes, that has a lot to do with the people
defended him too, though not let not letting him set up.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Right now SEC right now has better athletes. They have
longer athletes. So the teams of the old days, Ryan,
we pressed people. We had six four sixty five guards,
Lancaster garden inspector, gadget long arms. It makes difference. Lyn
is important. People don't understand that lyng is important in sports. Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
Tennessee. Tennessee is a big physical team too. I mean,
I believe me, I'm not looking forward to Kentucky going
down there either.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Order Hey, hey, Scott, tell him about Hey that carry.
He's just a monster.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
God don't.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Would have won by forty if they kept throwing on
the ball, if.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
They just don't. Yes, when nineteen to nine they got
three point happy in the first quarter, it's got our
watching it. And they allowed Louisville back in the game
because they started to casting up three. If they would
just play inside out.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
All game, boy, he's and Tennessee Jared Tennessee. Tennessee can't
really shoot the ball at will at all.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
No, they hit shots in the second half. I want
everybody to know, because they got comfortable once they got
up twelve, when you hit, when you go up fifteen ron,
the basket gets big. Yeah, they were bad, it's hard.
They were terrible.

Speaker 5 (32:49):
Tone also yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
No question, that's not what they do. Not this year,
they're gonna be in. Bleskie is a decent shooter. Okay,
Gillespie is a decent shooter. Decent he was three for seven.
He can make some, but I do like, Oh, golly,
Edmont is going to be a really good Nate and
meant he's good. That kid's gotta be really good. Not
at Tennessee, but three years from now, people are going

(33:14):
to see him in the NBA. He's going to be
really good. Golly, he's got.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
I one one other message from Martin. Martin, you know
what you said about you was gonna de Bo. You're
gonna end up just like de Bo. When it's over,
You're gonna end up like Deebo.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Knocked out.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Don't look. Don't look behind you, Martin. Don't look behind you, Martin.
I'm right there. I'm right there, breathing down your neck
with the brick.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
In his hand.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
Yeah, don't don't go up, don't go out and spend
this money Christmas yet Okay, I'm just telling you.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
He's been trying to tell me I need an advance.
I'm telling you I need an advance of what. I
don't know what. You want to advance up? Love it, Ron,
appreciate you.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
You goys. Have a good day.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
I gotta get the break. Take us away, Shed and
we'll talk to him in a minute. Welcome back, seven
point fifty. Get to work, Do something productive for your employer.
Put a smell on his face. Do not stand at
the water cooler and speak about what was said on
E Sports Radio. Don't tell him anyway, Scott, I was
looking at ESPN in my office in downtown Simmons College,

(34:28):
one thousand South forth Street, and ESPN just threw up
the spreads, so I think I got them correctly. I
think it had Oklahoma's one and a half point favorite,
Case's a and m is a three point favorite over Miami,
close games, Ole Miss was a seventeen and a half
point favorite over Tulane, and Oregon was a twenty one

(34:51):
point five point favorite over James Madison. I think I
think you all I wrote him down correctly. Don't go
back on what I just said, but I think that
is what was posted, So anyways, guy that Alabima Oklahoma
one and a half can go either way. Texas A
and M three and they're saying pretty strongly they think
Texas and M will win. But anything can happen with

(35:12):
a three point spread. So that's what we have the
other two, like Steve said, straight no brainers. Now, I
just sent to you what I'm I promise you all
what Martin sent to me. I want you to read
what he said. That's all I want you to know.
You have to hit me tomorrow. Mike. What not true?

(35:34):
Not true? Mike Martin?

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Good, the contest is over and I won.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Oh, Mark, I don't know what he thinks he won.
What did he win? I don't know. This is We're
not even in the fourth quarter yet. That sounds like Martin.
It sounds like the pressure, like you said, made Geddy.
What do you think do you think he's feeling the
pressure already sitting at the top.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, he's trying to earn early so he could just
take the money and run.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Not going happen left. Oh, there's real weeks left. I
know we've got fourteen to fifteen games left to pick.
Anything that happened when you're within four fifteen games, and
now the games are gonna be hard to pick. Scott
next week, Scott, Oh, it'll be pick thems on all
of them. There will be no too easy ones. Everyone
has picked Ole Miss and Oregon. Or tell any game

(36:26):
from Adison next week that won't happen Scott next week.
This thing's gonna get dicey. I know, Early, Yes, so
more Louisville for the next few minutes. I want people
to understand. So I hate that Brown did not play
last night, but I gave you all the stats from

(36:47):
the first two true road games. Indiana was a road game,
but Louisville got out sixteen to nothing. And if you
remember what I told you all after that game that Monday.
After that, Indiana won the game, but Louisville was able
to jump on top of them with their style of
play hit shots, Early controlled the game. Okay, same thing.
Tennessee did the Louisville. But three out of four road

(37:09):
games true opponents louis Was played. Their percentage of shooting
the ball is thirty eight, forty one at Arkansas, thirty
eight at Tennessee. So, guys, it's very hard without an
interior game to be consistent all that I'm saying. Now,
you have to you got to go to the dance
with the ball, with the dance that you have. And

(37:32):
I can't do the cha Chov. I don't know how
to chat chav. So that means Louis was gonna have
to do a better job of uptempointing the game. Louis
was gonna have to do more pressing Scott pressing with
the trap intent to really open the game up because
if teams they're going to run into physical teams. We
knew it was going to happen. We knew that. And

(37:53):
if they saw the game down and play inside out
on Louisville, Louisville will have a very hard time with
the unit that they have as they get into the
open court. I think that Brown will help mcneelee.

Speaker 6 (38:05):
I think as the season goes on if he learns
and I heard that Coach Kelsey had to get after
him a little bit in the last game, which I
was so glad to hear that coach Kelsey is going
to coach the boy, which is what I expected.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
That his dribble penetration when he attacks the basket will
help mcneelee get shots when they play inside out with
Froom will help Neely get shots because you'll force rotations,
you'll force trappy, or you'll force dribble penetration which draws
the fenders, which you can get people into rotation to

(38:42):
get shooters perimeter shooter shots. But the first two games
Brown played, Cincinnati's not very good. The field goal percentages
are the same. You will so Cardinal fans. I'm telling
you they must today forward start practicing inside out. They
must start forcing the ball in the paint, off the pass,

(39:05):
allowing Froom to develop even if he misses shots. Khalifa cannot,
he's not a post player. That's not what he does.
But Froome can. He's gonna have to learn. They're gonna
have to throw it to Hatley when they can find mismatches.
They're gonna have to find miss You don't have to
be big to post up. I mean, Scott, how many
times you don't? Daryl Griffith, Jerry's Lancaster, Gordon got me,

(39:31):
Milt Wagner. We've always posted guards. Coach Crump, Alvin Simms.
I want to give people names. Coach Crumb always found
a mismatch to where he could play inside out. You
don't have to be huge. You do not and people
will say, well what okay, go ahead coach it.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
You have to run some sets. You can get your guys,
you can get those guys in the posts, but you
have to run some stuff.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Right Well, like they said, you're right right, Scot. They
said after timeout, coach Kilsey has seven plays. I agree
with you, and we spoke about it yesterday. Yes, he
needs to have seven post plays that he can call
and go to absolutely just like he has seven out
of bunce plays and they said it, they ran it,
three pointer bucket and Conwell, he's a little monster. He

(40:21):
plays so good. I'm proud of that kid. He plays
so hard. But the bottom line is you must Louisville
to be consistent. You must develop an inside out game.
It's got a great job, young man. I'll talk to
you next week. We will be on Christmas week, so
you have a great week. I'll talk to you in
a couple of days. As Eastworts Radio, I'll be back tomorrow.

(40:41):
I've got Jason Franks and Lee's starly and on tomorrow
