Welcome to our two Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Now Here's Matt Jones welcome back.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
I remember two Tucky Sports Radio here live Lockridge Park
in Garrett County. There you go, those dudes, my man
in the OCWA sweatshirt back there, getting getting loud rowdy
for what's OCWA or GCW.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Garrett County Water. You're not on the clock, are you okay?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
I didn't want to call you out if it was
Garrett County Water Administration. We are here in Lockridge Park
and a place you can have with the rick House
Events Center. They got glamp glamorous camping which they call glamping.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Very cool place.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Another example of how there's stuff in Kentucky you can do.
Overlooking Lake Harrington. Peaceful, awesome set up here. Thank you
all the folks who are here at ky Y Sports
Radio eight five nine two eighty seven. Syndicate, who calls
the show a lot you hear, is over there making
barbecue and it is really good Dune's barbecue. His name
is Syndicate Done, and he's got it going over there
(02:05):
with the barbecue. It's called it's not barbecue unless it's done,
which I think is a good slogan.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Shit, very very good.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
We've been sampling it during the break and I would
highly suggest it a couple of things.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
First of all, so you know, I put out a
little tweet yesterday Ryan at eight in the morning that's
just highlights of the dude from Indiana State, you know, playing.
I say, I just I thought we all knew, like
we're all friends. Cream abdul Jabbar is what we called him.
Cream abdul Jabbar scores thirty five points. It ended up
(02:36):
last night. It now has seventeen and a half million views,
it has forty five thousand likes.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
It's got like.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Nine thousand or six thousand retweets like it's it's literally
it's literally the second most red tweet I've ever had
in my life. The first one is a video I
posted of January sixth, which still gets which was just
a random post that still gets brought up. But now
my little tweet that just said cream abdul Jabbar is everywhere.
(03:06):
It's been used like on highlight packages. People are acting
like I gave him the name. Just for the record,
I did not give him the name. It was in
the comments section of one of my posts one time.
But I guess I'll take credit for it even though
I didn't come up with it. I will say I
heard another good one though in my comment section, I
thought you would like Shannon, Yeah, dort Novitzky.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I like that one. I still think Larry NERD's the best.
But yeah, those are some good names for him.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
I'm pretty partial to Cream Abdul Jabar. But now, what's
funny is I've been doing this for fifteen years on Twitter.
Fourteen years on Twitter, tweeted about all kinds of different stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
And my two by far biggest tweets don't.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Have anything to do with Kentucky now and Cream Abdul
Jabbar forever will be my at least second.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I don't think it's gonna catch up to the first one,
but it'll be the second.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
I'm kind of glad because people need to know who
this kid is talking about. That's getting the word out.
They get to see his highlights, and now they are
catching on and like we said yesterday, he's gonna be
a he'll be a big hit if they can make it.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Got to make the tournament.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
They gotta make the tournament, because if they make the tournament,
he'll be big.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
Yeah, I mean that just the views on that shows
the interest people have in him. And that's that's just
a clip put him in an actual game playing against
maybe even a Blue Bullet, not US, but a good
team that's the country hates, and he'll be a star.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
He should be killing it in nil, right, there's gotta
be some good nil stop one.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
They need to make the tournament and win one n
C a tournament game when.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
One, and the dude's face will be absolent.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
But remember he's only a sophomore and it's not like
he's gonna go to the draft.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
So like he's going, he's got a chance.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
He's got a chance to be a dude who like
next year starting to get some nil stuff. I think
that dude could end up being the face of college basketball.
Know where he goes and plays, and he looks like
I did in eighth grade.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Well, like we said, he if he hears the transfer portal,
find the right school where he fits into their system,
he could blow up and be a big star.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
So congrats to Kareem Abdul Jabbar for his success. Now
you have you have to leave. You're going to like Houston,
So you're leaving after this segment, correct, correct, So it
is worth noting you. I mean, I knew things were
bad when I had one of my family friends write
me and say, I'm really upset about Ryan women and
(05:26):
what he said yesterday about those two women. Now they're here, Marsha,
Poe and Misty both came to the remote the first
of all. There's they're sitting. They're sitting on the front row.
One of them has brought a stick to hit you with.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Uh are you?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
She has a shirtnun that says kicking butt is our business,
and business is good. And I think Ryan, I mean,
I kind of know what you meant, but not really.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
So so well I do.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Unfortunately, I do know that my man has to do
better with women.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
And so here's your chance. We have women listening.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
You should apologize to these two women for calling them
out by name and saying that they couldn't host the
show as an example that no one could.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
I totally apologize. I went up to both of them today,
gave him a big hug. We had a group hug.
We hugged it out. But they're looking at you think
we're looking at it wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
This is not an apology.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
They are so popular that everybody knows you guys so much.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Let's start again. Let's start again. Nobody heard what you did.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Earlier.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Nobody wants to hear your joke. Okay, I apologize.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
I'm gonna say what I was gonna say. Yes, thank
you very much, and I appreciate it. I love you guys.
You know I love you. I reached out to you
both after the show. It was all in fun, and
you should take it the fact you guys are so
popped with I love you so much. We knew everybody
knew who you were talking about. I just threw some
two of my favorite names out there. They were you two.
I love you both and I would do anything for you.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
But you're not sorry.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
That was not an apology. I said I was sorry
fifteen times.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I must have missed it.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I must have missed it too.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
I think, I think I know you think you said
you were sorry right there.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Well you didn't, I saidcerely apologized. I did not mean
it that way.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
There we go. That's much better. It is. It is
very odd. It's very odd. We all have our streaks
and weaknesses.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
It is very odd how hard it is for Ryan
to apologize. He's always been like that, Like he is
the nicest human being I know, but it is really
really hard for him to say the words I'm sorry,
Drew you if you've noticed that over.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
The year, well, when he started, I was getting dizzy
with all that spinning he was doing trying to change
the story from yesterday. But I'm glad they seem to
have squashed the beef, although Missus still got that cane.
I'm not sure it's completely over here.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
That's a pool queue.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
She brought a pool Q to whoop me with.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Also, I would like to note, at the front row
of a sports radio show of nine people seven or women.
So if all the people you're picking on Ryan maybe
picked on the men's if everyone's not sitting, no other.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Sports radio in the show in the country have seven
to nine people on the front row women. Now, with
that said, I am still the person, I guess, along
with Drew, that believes in our fan.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Base to be able to host the show.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
I believe that we're going to have a winner from
the bracket contest. We're still gonna working on which one
we'll do. If we'll do the Chas bar doing no
one and remember, whoever wins gets to.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Host the show, not by themselves. We'll have guys here.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Maybe I'll be here, if not, they'll be here to
help you, and if you don't want to do it,
you can pick.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
The person to do it.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I do have a rule. They have to be at
least eighteen or six. I'm gonna say sixteen years old.
Your eight year old can't come up here and host
the host the sho that's just I'm sorry, that's just
not gonna work. If you have a precocious sixteen seventeen
eight junior, I'll let him, but like no kids.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
But I want to give a chance to somebody I
learned this. Do you.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
There's a guy whose show I go on a lot
called the Chuck Oliver Show.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Okay, yeah he does. He might eve know who that is.
He does college football, especially in like Georgia, Florida.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Basically, okay, he twenty years ago won a contest to
fill in, and now he moved from being a businessman
to being a lawyer or to being a sports.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Radio host just from having won a contest.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
You're telling me the next Chuck Oliver his own I.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Don't think Chuck Oliver's walking through that door for our contest.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
I did get a big response just yesterday after the show.
People either excited about this contest or think it's an
absolute worst. I actually had a KSR listener into my
home yesterday. Casey Clark came in, did some stuff from
my house, and all we've talked about in the beginning
was are you all really doing that contest? Yes, some
people think it's gonna be a disaster and some really
want to hear it.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
So, which brings me to the second thing I wanted
to say. So, I'll just announce this now and then
we'll you know, it'll be a little while before we
do it. Uh, I'm going to be taking some time
off this summer. I'm gonna do some traveling, and so
I'm taking a little bit more than I usually do
in the summer. I don't know the exact amount of time,
(10:26):
but I'm gonna be taking some time, an extended period
of time off for a while. And we were trying
to figure out what we're gonna do with the show.
So here's here's what we are going to do while
I'm gone. We will do some guest hosts, but it's
not gonna be like it's been in some years where
it's all guest host But what I decided to do
is these guys, these three guys, they're gonna take their
(10:47):
vacations during some of that too, but they're gonna be
here most of the time to keep the anchors of
the show. But three of the five days a week,
I'm going to bring in somebody that folks like to
host the show with them.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
So one of the five days a week, Tom Hart is.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Gonna host the show, which I think people will like.
You could do better than that for Tom Hardy's listening.
And then one of the five days a week, I
think Peter Burns is gonna host during that day as well, guys,
And then I'm working on the third one right now,
but it'll be a name of somebody you really know,
(11:24):
you know very well.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
And then in the.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Other two days, these guys are still gonna be on
every day, So when Tom Hart hosts, it'll be with them,
When Peter Burns hosts, it'll be with him.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
When the third person hosts, it will be with them.
And then the other.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Days, either these guys will host by themselves or they'll
be in charge and they'll bring in somebody to sit
with them. So I think the show will continue carrying on.
I'll be back a few weeks before the football season,
but I'm gonna stay here through Memorial Day and maybe
even a little bit longer and then be back. But
I just wanted folks to know that as they get
ready for the fall, and it'll be interesting to see.
(12:00):
You got Tom and Peter and a couple of guys,
and it's very awesome of them to do it. Oh yeah,
they're excited about it. They both they both agreed and
they're both very excited to do it.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Both the guys have hosted before. They're both really, really good.
I think the fan base really embraced both of them.
Everybody loves Tom Hart anyway. But so if you're gonna
be gone for a well, what's her name?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
There's no her You gotta stop with that. There is
no herb.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
But it's uh, it's you know, it's it's something that
I planned actually a few years back and is now
finally years So.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
Yeah, but I'm excited to have Tom and Peter. Yeah,
and we'll have I mean whole summer to talk about
this national championship we're about to win. The football season
you get excited about. There'll be playing material while you're
out that well, we'll be sure to weigh in on
who's up next.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Grandma Sarah Grandma Sarah, a third person that Ryan mentioned
as not being able to host the show.
Speaker 10 (12:56):
That's the only thing I want to say is just
like to run. Thanks for throwing me under.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
The bus yester, sweet Grandma Sarah. Right, I apologize to
her too.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
If you'll say the words, I'm.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Sorry, Grandma Sarah, I apologize to you also. It was
a bad thing I said. I should now I should
be punished, A very bad thing to say.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Okay, that's a little weird.
Speaker 10 (13:16):
Uh, your apology? Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Okay, good Sarah.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Were you surprised when you just got thrown in out
of nowhere?
Speaker 10 (13:25):
Yes, I'm just listening and all of a sudden I'm
making okay, run, how do you know?
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Come on, I think you would do an excellent job, Sarah.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Are we gonna win this weekend? Of course?
Speaker 10 (13:40):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Well there you go. That's all worried about. All right, Well,
thank you very much. Let's talk before Ryan gets gone.
He's got to take off to go to Houston. Drew,
what do you tell? What do you what's the worst
thing that could happen in the game Saturday? Obviously we lose,
but what is the scenario where the game's close? I mean,
Arkansas has some players and they can score. They've just
been a complete mess.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
If you talk to anyone around there, it seems like
Musselman's already got his foot out the door going somewhere.
So I guess the biggest fear would be they just
decide they want to show up and play together this
game because they are talented enough to meet with Kentucky.
I just think where Kentucky's turned a corner and they're
looking forward to what's next in March, and Arkansas's ready
for it to be over with Kentucky should be all
right in this one.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
All right, we'll make our picks at the end before
you have to get out of here. First of all,
tell me about Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Stockton Mortgage, the spring buying season is coming in hot.
I mean it's March first right now, when a lot
of buyers out there, a lot of listings hitting the market.
So you want to be ready, get pre approved before
you go out looking for that house. It doesn't matter
if it's thin, Garrett County, Danville, wherever. Stockton Mortgage can
help you. They're all across the state. They're in a
bunch of states. I forget the number but you can
call them. You can apply online. It's at Stockton dot com.
(14:46):
NMLS eight two five nine in MLS equalhausy Lender.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
MLS Major League Soccer.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Right, give me, give me your score and your MVP me.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
I hate to miss the game because I think Daniel
Musselman may be there, so I can really disappointment. We'll
get to see her. But Kentucky wins it. I almost
say ninety one seventy four. I mean, I think it's
the Royal ass kicking tomorrow. And Antonio Reeves has a
monster game every time he plays Arkansas, so I gotta
pick him.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
All right, Well, there you go. You just took mine
that I usually take it. Thank you very much, enjoy
your trip to here. Thank you to see your son
play football. We will take a break and be right back.
This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
To talk to Matt Jones and the crew called the
Clark's Pupping Shot full line at eight five nine two
eight oho twenty two eighty seven or one eight hundred
and six oh six forty two sixty three. You can
also text Matt on the a Vision Glass text machine
at seven seven two seven seven four five two five.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Four working back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Here live.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Lockridge part They have a putting green and restaurant here
with this information about Dix Damn. Dick's dam is right
over here and Harrington Lake. Great crowd, this place is
now full. Here at Lockridge. They got all kinds of
stuff going on, food stuff to for sale.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
If you're in the area, come see us.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
And remember we will be giving away two tickets to
the Food City five hundred here at the end of
the show to take a bus down and get to go.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
So that should be exciting.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven, before
I go to the phones, let me bring up an idea. Hey, everybody,
I got you over here. Here we go. I'm gonna
give up an idea and see what you think about it.
Joelnardi has said, you know, he's mister Brackett, right. Joelnardi
says that he believes the tournament should go from sixty
(16:38):
eight to eighty.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
But here's his case. Here's this case.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Before you say no again, when your visceral reaction is something,
at least here the best case for it. When the
tournament expanded to sixty four, there were only two hundred
and sixty teams in Division one. Now there's three hundred
and seventy five teams in Division one, so now there's
six more conferences than there were then, so there's six
(17:04):
more automatic bids. His argument is, sixty four of you know,
sixty four of two whatever is like, was like twenty
seven percent, and now sixty four of three sixty is
like seventeen percent. And he said if you got to eighty,
it would be a similar percentage of the entire country
(17:27):
as to what makes it now, he would like it
to see it go to eighty, but say that some
of those bids that are not automatic, but the you
know at large bids have to go to teams in
the mid majors or lower. And his argument basically is
Indiana State's twenty five and five. If they lose in
(17:47):
their conference tournament and get upset, they're not going to
the tournament. We should have a way for teams like
that that have had amazing regular seasons to still make
the tournament without taking away teams that can be good.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
So that's his argument for eighty.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
It would basically on the days of the Tuesday Wednesday,
instead of only having four games, you would have like
eight games ors whatever, twelve games that day instead of four.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
What do you make of that as an argument?
Speaker 8 (18:13):
I mean, I kind of agree with his argument. Even
though I want the tournament to stay as it is.
I'm worried about it in the long run, just with
everything happened with conferences and just the future of college athletics.
So if I can just take that eighty and what
he says there and that's the only thing we do
again for a long time, I would probably take it.
But I still just like it just as it is.
That at least doing the percentages makes sense as opposed
(18:36):
to just expanding and expanding and expanding. But I like
the format.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
The NCAA tournament, just so you know, takes a few
a lesser percentage of its teams than the NBA, the NFL,
Major League Baseball, and hockey. The only sport that takes
a fewer percentage in college basketball is college football. And
his argument is why do we take in college where
(19:02):
there are so many colleges all over the country and
actually take a lesser percentage of teams in the playoff
than professional sports, where in theory we should maybe make
it harder. Even though my initial reaction was don't expand
the tournament. When I heard that argument, I was like, well,
I mean, that's not a crazy argument to make to
(19:23):
say we were fine with sixty four when there's two
sixty teams, Why would we be against eighty when there's
three sixty teams?
Speaker 8 (19:31):
The conference tournament is as I see it before.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It was like that when it was sixty four to
two sixty.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
The tournament the way it is right now is the
greatest thing in all of sports. Better than the Super Bowl,
the World Series, NBA Finals, give me March Mads the
way to be worse.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Though, if there were more games on Tuesday Wednesday, that's what.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You're gonna throw in twelve teams that have no chance
of winning the tournament.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
No chance. Okay, so we're just playing games for the
sake of playing games.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
But you could argue we do that now.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
There hasn't been a a team lower than a seven
seed win the tournament since nineteen eighty three, So like
you could argue that over half the teams we put
in the tournament now have absolutely no chance of winning it,
no matter what, and yet.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
We still love it.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
So I don't I get what you're saying, but I
don't think that's an argument against it, because if you
really just want the teams that can win it, you
should only allow like sixteen teams. So, you know, I
do think there's a I mean, Norfolk State's not winning,
but we.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Want them in.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Yeah, so what's wrong with having Indiana State? Everybody wants
Indiana State in. They could lose and be out. Why
not have them in?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Because you're now having twelve other teams that you're adding
in that aren't playing top tier teams, right they playing.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Some big conference.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
He was just saying he didn't want there to be
twelve mediocre big conference schools. Yeah, he thought that at
least some should be put aside for the.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
Lower com I still think it's a bad idea. I
don't like it. What do you think? You like it
or not? Would you do it? If you had to vote?
Speaker 5 (20:57):
You had told me before I heard his case, I
would have said no. But when I heard his case,
he's adding only he's adding twelve teams instead of But
where do we stop?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Right there?
Speaker 6 (21:07):
He says, and twenty?
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Well no, his argument is, again there's an argument to this,
rather than just mocking it. His argument is make it
a percentage of how many teams there are, and then
that guarantees that we don't get too much figure out
because right now, if we had eighty it would be
almost the exact same percentage as when we expanded to
sixty four in nineteen eighty five. So his argument is
(21:31):
we just always try to keep that percentage. That's, by
the way, what they do in the other sports.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I don't know if you all realize.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
In the NCAAA and the other sports they try to
make it twenty percent of the schools every year.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
College basketball and college football are the only ones where
they don't do that. Now, I can't get the percentages.
I just I guess as much as I want to
see Larry Nerd in the tournament, I think it's very
I like those conference tournaments, you have to win it
to get to the big Dance. I don't really, as
much as i'd like him just giving at larges to
mid majors, like win your conference tournament.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
That's kind of their process is trying to apply to us.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
I mean, remember all these arguments you're making, You're and
Shannon are making, We're made against going.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
To sixty four to begin with, I mean, it does
apply to us. They just pick our at largest because
they're better than the mid major atlets.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Our dads in nineteen eighty three or eighty four, when
they went from forty eight to sixty four, said the
same thing we're saying. They go, well, these teams aren't
gonna win, why are we adding them? It's more fun
as it is. They made that same argument forty years ago.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Well, I mean Kentucky's getting in because they're playing a
much tougher schedule.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Yeah, playing tougher teams.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Well, those teams would like to play a tougher schedule.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
It's just they can't.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Well, I mean that's life. We'll playing for the championship.
Like when your conference tournament get in, I want them in,
But like just giving gifts to those conferences, I don't
think they should get.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
My final thought of it is I everything we're saying
was said forty years ago, and they went, we need
to do it, and the tournament got better.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
It's not crazy that it might get better again that
much time later. Who's next, doing good? Doing good? I
got about a minute. Great, that's been all I need
real quick.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Wanted to check and see if you were talking about
half a cow with nos Lindy or half of beef
for et cetera.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Because the beef is what's on the.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Store, the cow's what's in the field.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
So if there's only seventy five percent a quarter and
a half of the cow, that's.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
Gonna be a little easy to round up.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
So I just wanted to even clarify.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
That I have no idea three quarters of a cow.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Listen, you listen to this show long enough to know
I talk with intricacy about the law and numbers and
the bract But if you ask me about what I'm
talking about about a cow, you know I'm not the
guy to ask for that question. Let's be real. We'll
take a break and be right back here at Lockreach Park.
This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
TJ Smith Personal injury attorney.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Call TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
He'll make them pay.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Here's Not Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Walking back take you Sports Radio here at Lockreach Park,
Matt Jones, True Franklin, Shannon the Dude. Tomorrow Tomorrow, Drew
and I will be at ks Bar at eleven o'clock
for the pregame show for those of you going the game.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
The bar actually gonna open at ten.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
We're gonna open early because the game is at one thirty,
but our pregame show will be at eleven.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
For those of you that want to watch the game.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
The time to get there to watch the game kind
of creeps getting a little earlier.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Because we get more of a crab.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
But I would say if you get there at twelve
thirty twelve forty five for the one to thirty.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Game, you should be good.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
The game is on CBS, so we get another CBS
game there in Reperena. I don't know who's calling it,
but I think this will be we'll be on CBS
here and I think it's they were on next week
against Tesse, but this should be the I think it's
the last CBS game that will ever be at Ropperina.
We've had forty some years of games on CBS from Ropperina,
(24:49):
and I think this will be the final time that
CBS will broadcast a game from Roperena.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
I wonder if they'll give me that yellow banner that's
always in the corner over there on the brick wall,
they'll let me take that one on it is three
straight Saturdays with CBS. We like that and this is
the last Saturday and Roup until next season, so all
the reasons to get down there and cheer on the Cats.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
It's kind of.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Sad, shan and the last time. I mean I CBS
does such a better job of like giving the atmosphere.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
The music. I think that ties into it a lot,
you know that, the march music.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
I'll give you an example, just again in the hockey.
So I was at that arena last night. The last
three or four minutes were so tense, and the crowd
was wild and they were into it.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Then I got home, I was trying to go to sleep,
so I was like, I watched those three or four minutes.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Again and I put them on and it sounded like
no one was there, and I was sitting there thinking,
this is must this is the you know they kept
saying when we were at Mississippi State, this place is
going wild and you can't hear yourself, and I remember going,
it doesn't sound that loud. I just think it's the
way ESPN does the games. But I feel like when
CBS does the games, you can feel the crowds, you
(25:58):
can feel the energy, and I just don't think you
feel that on.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Esp The presentation for whatever reason, is a lot better
on CBS. And it's always a big game. It has
that big game feel when it's on CBS. And yeah,
it is kind of sad that it's going away. So
moving forward with all the games, just be on SEC
network or ESPN.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Or ABC or ABC.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
See so like ABC will start the games that we
have on CBS. The kind of big, big games will
now be on ABC. And actually I think maybe it's
just being on network over cable, but I think when
you listen to a game on ABC, it does sound
like you hear the crowd.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
More on there.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Maybe it's just like something about being on cable. I
don't Again, I'm not a tech guy. I don't know,
but maybe there's some.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
With CBS two nostalgia CBS. They're changing their stuff. It's
different people all the time, but CBS, I mean, I've
heard rafter as long as I've been a Kentucky fan,
and those logos and the music. Same with football. That
hurt even worse last fall, just saying about a CBS
Sports and Kentucky being together.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
So CBS will still have games, but it'll all be
the Big Ten. They're now taking over the Big Ten.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Contract.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
All right, two quick things for you go phones awesome
are weird? Shannon, I'll let you go first. Taylor Swift
made pop tarts for the entire Chiefs offensive line before
three of the games this year.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Awesome mad pop tarts.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I think it's awesome. I don't think there's anything weird
about that at all. That's it's no different than bacon
cookies or a cake.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
They said pop She herself made them, didn't have somebody
else made them. She made homemade, which I didn't know.
Does any do you all make homemade pop tarts? I
didn't know you could make homemade pope tarts? Oh you do,
Misty friend.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Yeah, Taylor gotta have frosting on it, toil.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Taylor Swift awesome.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Yeah, me, I'll call it awesome. It's just another thing
of her being normal that people get mad about. Like
if some other player's wife did that, you'd be like, oh,
that's nice. But because it's her, people.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Like out of here.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
I mean, she just made cookies for the team.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I think it's all right. This one makes a little
more controversial.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
A new podcast, a former teammate of Lebron said before
games Lebron in the playoffs will take his jersey and
shorts in the locker room and set them long out
on the floor before the game and let them sit
for thirty minutes, and no one is allowed to touch.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Them or you can't walk over them.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
You have to walk around them.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Awesome or weird?
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Not only there's anything awesome about that. That's strange. Yeah,
obviously a superstition that he has for whatever reason.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
Yeah, that's that's sort of bad to touch his jersey anywhere.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah, would you step over it?
Speaker 8 (28:41):
I mean it's Lebron, Yeah, gotta go around it.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
He'll probably have you kicked off the team.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Yeah, you're traded that after Yeah, yeah, I think you would.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
I think you have to respect it because he is
your teammate. But it is really strange.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
I think I put mine right next to him. I'm
in Yeah, everybody's touch on either.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
Yeah, that would be funny if like the worst guy
on the team have said, I'm with you, you can't
step over min.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
I used to do it for the first day of
school with whatever outfit I was gonna wear in first grade.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I mean maybe.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
Lebron just started then and hasn't changed.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
You think it's like a school out Oh, before.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
My first baseball game. I think I laid that thing
out too, you know, just fair enough. Make it as
far as Lebron I like it.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Who's up next, Jared? Jared? How are you? Jared?
Speaker 11 (29:26):
I'm good?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
How are you doing good?
Speaker 11 (29:30):
Two things? If I had the time, I travel a
lot for work and try to go to a game
wherever I'm at. And I was in Columbus last night
and ended up at the Ohio State Nebraska game. The
first thing is that place was maybe three quarters away
full and was louder and more energetic than any conference
game I've been at rough in the last five years.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Oh stop stop, I don't listen. I don't I'm not,
I know, respectfully, I don't believe you. I was at
the Kentucky Georgia game, which wasn't even like the Kentucky
Indiana or excuse me, the Kentucky Tennessee or Kentucky Alabama game,
and the Kentucky Georgia game was loud and like I
love you go to I haven't.
Speaker 8 (30:12):
Missed one this year. I don't have a single complaint
about Roperna. Maybe the very very very early games the
n zones up top weren't good, but the since SEC
players started, these high caliber opponents, it's been great and
they've been there early.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
I mean, are you really trying to tell me that
Ohio State Nebraska basketball was better environment than Kentucky Alabama.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Last Saturday as we was as we were whipping their tail?
You really believe that, sir?
Speaker 11 (30:40):
Well, to be fair, I haven't been to a game
this year.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
But thank you very much. Well, that's what I'm saying.
You've been to games the last three years we've stunk
and one year it was COVID Like that's different. I mean,
I did you.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Go in there was cardboard cutouts.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I understand, but you haven't been this year.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
I will. I mean, look, Kentucky's environment is not great
every game, but when it's good, you're never gonna convince
me Ohio State Nebraska basketball is better.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
I've been to Ohio State games. It is not like
RUP when it's rocket.
Speaker 11 (31:20):
Well, the second thing is they went up in with
under a minute left, so I put him Matt Jones
and was gonna try to beat some traffic and stopped
in the bathroom and they were talking about Jake Diebler,
the interim head coach, and there and one of the
guys said that they can't get rid of them, they
gotta hire them again, because that would be like hiring
(31:41):
Caw for half a season.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Well, yeah, I don't know if Jake dew I've never
even heard the name Jake Diebler, so I'm not sure
if that's at all like cow.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
But I appreciate. I appreciate the call.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
I understand Listen, Kentucky's environment in rup is not perfect,
but I agree with Mark's story that in making legitimate,
like you know, critiques, we have a group of fans. Again,
a lot of them are young who are just like,
this is the worst environment in the country.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
That is just not true. It's just not true.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
No, I've been at everyone this year. I've heard personal
stories and maybe like a person got told to sit down.
They were cheering. That exists throughout the arena, but just
being there, the overall atmosphere with the players are hearing.
It's been great. They've showed up, especially for the big ones.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
I've been to every great arena in the country and
a lot of them that aren't great. So have you often,
Drew went, We went to a lot of them together.
Kansas is the best, and it's the best by lot.
Duke's is very good, and then you get like Auburn's good.
They're like small ones that are good. But Kentucky's in
(32:48):
the top ten. And when Kentucky is loud, it's as
loud as any of them.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
It is.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Now, it's not that on a consistent basis, Shannon, but
when it's a good game, it's as.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Loud as any Yep, those Saturday Conference games, when it's
you know, capacity, and Kentucky's whipping up on somebody, it's, yeah,
it's really loud.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
I mean, you wouldn't say it's not a good atmosphere.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
You will to see a bad atmosphere, Go to UCLA, right,
go to North Carolina. North Carolina is a lot worse
atmosphere than us.
Speaker 8 (33:19):
Go to Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
I mean, Tennessee is not a great atmosphere.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Kansas is better. And if anybody tries to say they're not,
they're wrong. Duke's is better. But of the power programs, to.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Me, Drew, we're at least third.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
I agree, And I've said this a couple of times
this season already. It's it's not just the attendance and
the people there, whoever's doing it at rough the marketing team.
They're doing a great job of keeping the energy going
during timeouts. They're playing music. We've talked about the snack cam,
but the dance cam has been very active. Here's been
years in the past we put people on the screen,
they're just sitting there. They've really worked in a lot
of that stuff to keep the energy going during break
(33:52):
So it's it's kind of a you know, the whole game.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Who's up next, Chris, Chris, go ahead, Chris.
Speaker 9 (33:58):
Hey, guys, I'm calling on in the spirit of unity

hopefully to see everybody out there.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
You know, I get a picture of you every time
you're going and you sing with such a pain, like
your constipated face, And I love it because I said,
that's how you know he's rocking.
Speaker 6 (36:34):
You gotta feel it. You know you're covering songs, you
gotta you gotta be in the moment.
Speaker 7 (36:38):
That.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
By the way, this view right here over the lake
is historic. It was a scene in the movie April
Love in nineteen fifty four with the actor slash singer
Pat Boone as one of the Stars was filmed right here.
Speaker 8 (36:54):
Do you know who Pat Boone? I thought, I recognize
the scene. Have that on DVD?
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Bit you really?
Speaker 8 (37:01):
I don't remember pet Boone as well as the movie,
but it was a great movie.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Boone here, Well, no, I'll tell you how. He was
like a crooner right, Like he was kind of like
a crooner singer.
Speaker 5 (37:10):
But then I believe Shannon in like the nineties, he
started singing heavy metal.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
Really pet Boone?
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Am I right?
Speaker 5 (37:17):
I don't know, no, No, I am right. I'm telling
you he was like he was like a crooner. He
was like, oh, like that kind of singer. Yeah, and
then he like when he was old, he tried to
kind of get hip.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
He sang like Frank Sinatra joined Metallica.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
That's no, he created. It was like, be like Frank
Sinatra created Metallica.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Wow, that's what he did.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
Looking up, I listen to this guy on the way back.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
I'm certain I don't know if you I don't think
it was good or successful he did. He was up next,
we got Jeff and Lexington. Jeff and Lexington, how are
you hey, Matt?
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Real quick, I want to apologize for my hum last week.
Speaker 6 (37:58):
I called last week, you know, with three things I
hate about in that Jones.
Speaker 8 (38:02):
But I was just dont to do that as as
a champion humor.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
And I hope that did not offend you and been
very upset about it since.
Speaker 7 (38:10):
And one of your colleagues there, the one who isn't there,
advice not to do that.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
So I pull that back today, if you will.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
And also, Matt, I don't know how you get involved
in this contest, but I'm throwing my name into that,
my head into the ring for at a host of the.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
Show one day.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
All right, well, just win the bracket contest and you
will be uh and it will be able to do it.
I appreciate the call.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
I mean, it's not a talent show, and if it
was calling in and telling three things you don't like
about me would not have been the way to win
that talent show.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Who's up next? And Ed go ahead and.
Speaker 11 (38:43):
Hey guys, hey the field of eighty. I guess what
the way to handle that?
Speaker 3 (38:49):
It might be kind of fun.
Speaker 11 (38:50):
Actually, the more I think about it, just expand the
play in.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Well that's what it is. I mean, if they do
the field of eight, if they do the Field of.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
The theory is they take the nine, ten, eleven, and
twelve seeds or whatever, and you're playing for those seats.
The thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen stay, the top eight
stay and you're playing for those seats. It's like the
playing games in the NBA playoffs now's that's basically what
they would be talking about.
Speaker 11 (39:20):
But the beautiful part about the tournament is it doesn't
matter how.
Speaker 8 (39:23):
Many teams get in it.
Speaker 11 (39:25):
We always pick there's always a legitimate national champion. This
year it's gonna be the Kentucky Wildcat.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
Well, I hope you're right. Yeah, we were talking about that.
I appreciate the call during the break, Shannon, you go
through history. I've said this, I think a couple of
weeks ago, and this is something to remember as the
brackets come out. Twenty nine of the last thirty five years,
twenty nine in the last thirty five years, the national
champion has been a one or two seed. Twenty nine
in the last thirty five years. Three of the six
(39:53):
years they haven't, they were the number three seed. And
then only three other times has that not been the case,
and two of them were Yukon, So it's a different
you know, one and two seeds win the tournament all
the time. We're probably not gonna be a one or
two seed, but we could get to that three seed.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Yeah, and that is at least a plausible thing, you know,
with this team, even if they're a five seed, I
could see them making a run to the final four.
Speaker 6 (40:24):
I could see them losing in the second round.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
I don't know which team will show up from night
to night, So if they made a run to the
final four, I wouldn't be surprised regardless of their seed,
just because they can score so many points.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
CBS did a story that said, basically, if Kentucky will
play Reed Shepherd, Rob Dillingham and Antonio Reeves, they'll win
the title, and if they don't, they won't. That was
basically that was essentially what the story basically was saying.
We're if you look at our percentages, we're the best
team in the country when you play those three guys,
(40:56):
and when you don't play those three guys a lot,
or you don't play them together, we're just average.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
That's essentially what the story said. Do you agree with that?
Speaker 8 (41:05):
I think everyone who has seen Kentucky play basketball agrees
with that. I mean, there's some years where people have
their preference or you're debating who should be in. Like
I said yesterday, you have other coaches talking about, holy crap,
John Caliperry's five he just put against us. We have
no answer for Nate Oates said he found his lineup
against us. If other coaches are saying that out loud,
and you know you don't normally talk about another team,
(41:26):
they're even saying Cal's got to play those guests.
Speaker 5 (41:29):
Just to give you some numerical examples per hundred possessions,
So one hundred offensive possessions. When Reid, rob and Antonio
are in together, we outscore other points by our other
teams by thirty five points. When Reid is out, we lose.
(41:49):
We're losing by twelve. And when Reed and Antonio are
not in together, we're losing.
Speaker 6 (41:57):
So like.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Pretty clear, Shan, he's.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
All those debts to cow Maybe yeah, I mean, do
you think he knows that? Do you think he actually
breaks down the analytics of games. I don't see Cal
doing that, but he should know that.
Speaker 8 (42:09):
Though I want to say all on this Arkansas game
is when they went to Reeves and Reid in the
second half, it was tied and they went on like
a fifteen oh run in Faville.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
All right, he already took Antonio, So what do you got.
Speaker 8 (42:48):
Oh, let's blow him out. Ninety two to sixty eight.
My MVP is a homeless said Justin Edwards had to
catch himself, big Z. I think it's Justin Floor. I'm

in the OCWA sweatshirt back there, getting getting loud rowdy
for what's OCWA or GCW.
Speaker 3 (01:21):

Garrett County Water Administration. We are here in Lockridge Park
and a place you can have with the rick House
Events Center. They got glamp glamorous camping which they call glamping.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Very cool place.

all the folks who are here at ky Y Sports
Radio eight five nine two eighty seven. Syndicate, who calls
the show a lot you hear, is over there making
barbecue and it is really good Dune's barbecue. His name
is Syndicate Done, and he's got it going over there
(02:05):
with the barbecue. It's called it's not barbecue unless it's done,
which I think is a good slogan.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Shit, very very good.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
We've been sampling it during the break and I would
highly suggest it a couple of things.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
First of all, so you know, I put out a
little tweet yesterday Ryan at eight in the morning that's
just highlights of the dude from Indiana State, you know, playing.
I say, I just I thought we all knew, like
we're all friends. Cream abdul Jabbar is what we called him.
Cream abdul Jabbar scores thirty five points. It ended up
(02:36):
last night. It now has seventeen and a half million views,
it has forty five thousand likes.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
It's got like.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Nine thousand or six thousand retweets like it's it's literally
it's literally the second most red tweet I've ever had
in my life. The first one is a video I
posted of January sixth, which still gets which was just
a random post that still gets brought up. But now
my little tweet that just said cream abdul Jabbar is everywhere.
(03:06):
It's been used like on highlight packages. People are acting
like I gave him the name. Just for the record,
I did not give him the name. It was in
the comments section of one of my posts one time.
But I guess I'll take credit for it even though
I didn't come up with it. I will say I
heard another good one though in my comment section, I
thought you would like Shannon, Yeah, dort Novitzky.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I like that one. I still think Larry NERD's the best.
But yeah, those are some good names for him.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
I'm pretty partial to Cream Abdul Jabar. But now, what's
funny is I've been doing this for fifteen years on Twitter.
Fourteen years on Twitter, tweeted about all kinds of different stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
And my two by far biggest tweets don't.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Have anything to do with Kentucky now and Cream Abdul
Jabbar forever will be my at least second.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I don't think it's gonna catch up to the first one,
but it'll be the second.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
I'm kind of glad because people need to know who
this kid is talking about. That's getting the word out.
They get to see his highlights, and now they are
catching on and like we said yesterday, he's gonna be
a he'll be a big hit if they can make it.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Got to make the tournament.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
They gotta make the tournament, because if they make the tournament,
he'll be big.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
Yeah, I mean that just the views on that shows
the interest people have in him. And that's that's just
a clip put him in an actual game playing against
maybe even a Blue Bullet, not US, but a good
team that's the country hates, and he'll be a star.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
He should be killing it in nil, right, there's gotta
be some good nil stop one.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
They need to make the tournament and win one n
C a tournament game when.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
One, and the dude's face will be absolent.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
But remember he's only a sophomore and it's not like
he's gonna go to the draft.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
So like he's going, he's got a chance.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
He's got a chance to be a dude who like
next year starting to get some nil stuff. I think
that dude could end up being the face of college basketball.
Know where he goes and plays, and he looks like
I did in eighth grade.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Well, like we said, he if he hears the transfer portal,
find the right school where he fits into their system,
he could blow up and be a big star.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
So congrats to Kareem Abdul Jabbar for his success. Now
you have you have to leave. You're going to like Houston,
So you're leaving after this segment, correct, correct, So it
is worth noting you. I mean, I knew things were
bad when I had one of my family friends write
me and say, I'm really upset about Ryan women and
(05:26):
what he said yesterday about those two women. Now they're here, Marsha,
Poe and Misty both came to the remote the first
of all. There's they're sitting. They're sitting on the front row.
One of them has brought a stick to hit you with.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Uh are you?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
She has a shirtnun that says kicking butt is our business,
and business is good. And I think Ryan, I mean,
I kind of know what you meant, but not really.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
So so well I do.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Unfortunately, I do know that my man has to do
better with women.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
And so here's your chance. We have women listening.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
You should apologize to these two women for calling them
out by name and saying that they couldn't host the
show as an example that no one could.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
I totally apologize. I went up to both of them today,
gave him a big hug. We had a group hug.
We hugged it out. But they're looking at you think
we're looking at it wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
This is not an apology.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
They are so popular that everybody knows you guys so much.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Let's start again. Let's start again. Nobody heard what you did.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
Earlier.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Nobody wants to hear your joke. Okay, I apologize.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
I'm gonna say what I was gonna say. Yes, thank
you very much, and I appreciate it. I love you guys.
You know I love you. I reached out to you
both after the show. It was all in fun, and
you should take it the fact you guys are so
popped with I love you so much. We knew everybody
knew who you were talking about. I just threw some
two of my favorite names out there. They were you two.
I love you both and I would do anything for you.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
But you're not sorry.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
That was not an apology. I said I was sorry
fifteen times.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I must have missed it.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I must have missed it too.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
I think, I think I know you think you said
you were sorry right there.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Well you didn't, I saidcerely apologized. I did not mean
it that way.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
There we go. That's much better. It is. It is
very odd. It's very odd. We all have our streaks
and weaknesses.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
It is very odd how hard it is for Ryan
to apologize. He's always been like that, Like he is
the nicest human being I know, but it is really
really hard for him to say the words I'm sorry,
Drew you if you've noticed that over.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
The year, well, when he started, I was getting dizzy
with all that spinning he was doing trying to change
the story from yesterday. But I'm glad they seem to
have squashed the beef, although Missus still got that cane.
I'm not sure it's completely over here.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
That's a pool queue.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
She brought a pool Q to whoop me with.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Also, I would like to note, at the front row
of a sports radio show of nine people seven or women.
So if all the people you're picking on Ryan maybe
picked on the men's if everyone's not sitting, no other.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Sports radio in the show in the country have seven
to nine people on the front row women. Now, with
that said, I am still the person, I guess, along
with Drew, that believes in our fan.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Base to be able to host the show.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
I believe that we're going to have a winner from
the bracket contest. We're still gonna working on which one
we'll do. If we'll do the Chas bar doing no
one and remember, whoever wins gets to.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Host the show, not by themselves. We'll have guys here.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Maybe I'll be here, if not, they'll be here to
help you, and if you don't want to do it,
you can pick.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
The person to do it.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I do have a rule. They have to be at
least eighteen or six. I'm gonna say sixteen years old.
Your eight year old can't come up here and host
the host the sho that's just I'm sorry, that's just
not gonna work. If you have a precocious sixteen seventeen
eight junior, I'll let him, but like no kids.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
But I want to give a chance to somebody I
learned this. Do you.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
There's a guy whose show I go on a lot
called the Chuck Oliver Show.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Okay, yeah he does. He might eve know who that is.
He does college football, especially in like Georgia, Florida.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Basically, okay, he twenty years ago won a contest to
fill in, and now he moved from being a businessman
to being a lawyer or to being a sports.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Radio host just from having won a contest.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
You're telling me the next Chuck Oliver his own I.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Don't think Chuck Oliver's walking through that door for our contest.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
I did get a big response just yesterday after the show.
People either excited about this contest or think it's an
absolute worst. I actually had a KSR listener into my
home yesterday. Casey Clark came in, did some stuff from
my house, and all we've talked about in the beginning
was are you all really doing that contest? Yes, some
people think it's gonna be a disaster and some really
want to hear it.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
So, which brings me to the second thing I wanted
to say. So, I'll just announce this now and then
we'll you know, it'll be a little while before we
do it. Uh, I'm going to be taking some time
off this summer. I'm gonna do some traveling, and so
I'm taking a little bit more than I usually do
in the summer. I don't know the exact amount of time,
(10:26):
but I'm gonna be taking some time, an extended period
of time off for a while. And we were trying
to figure out what we're gonna do with the show.
So here's here's what we are going to do while
I'm gone. We will do some guest hosts, but it's
not gonna be like it's been in some years where
it's all guest host But what I decided to do
is these guys, these three guys, they're gonna take their
(10:47):
vacations during some of that too, but they're gonna be
here most of the time to keep the anchors of
the show. But three of the five days a week,
I'm going to bring in somebody that folks like to
host the show with them.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
So one of the five days a week, Tom Hart is.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Gonna host the show, which I think people will like.
You could do better than that for Tom Hardy's listening.
And then one of the five days a week, I
think Peter Burns is gonna host during that day as well, guys,
And then I'm working on the third one right now,
but it'll be a name of somebody you really know,
(11:24):
you know very well.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
And then in the.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Other two days, these guys are still gonna be on
every day, So when Tom Hart hosts, it'll be with them,
When Peter Burns hosts, it'll be with him.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
When the third person hosts, it will be with them.
And then the other.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Days, either these guys will host by themselves or they'll
be in charge and they'll bring in somebody to sit
with them. So I think the show will continue carrying on.
I'll be back a few weeks before the football season,
but I'm gonna stay here through Memorial Day and maybe
even a little bit longer and then be back. But
I just wanted folks to know that as they get
ready for the fall, and it'll be interesting to see.
(12:00):
You got Tom and Peter and a couple of guys,
and it's very awesome of them to do it. Oh yeah,
they're excited about it. They both they both agreed and
they're both very excited to do it.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Both the guys have hosted before. They're both really, really good.
I think the fan base really embraced both of them.
Everybody loves Tom Hart anyway. But so if you're gonna
be gone for a well, what's her name?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
There's no her You gotta stop with that. There is
no herb.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
But it's uh, it's you know, it's it's something that
I planned actually a few years back and is now
finally years So.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
Yeah, but I'm excited to have Tom and Peter. Yeah,
and we'll have I mean whole summer to talk about
this national championship we're about to win. The football season
you get excited about. There'll be playing material while you're
out that well, we'll be sure to weigh in on
who's up next.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Grandma Sarah Grandma Sarah, a third person that Ryan mentioned
as not being able to host the show.
Speaker 10 (12:56):
That's the only thing I want to say is just
like to run. Thanks for throwing me under.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
The bus yester, sweet Grandma Sarah. Right, I apologize to
her too.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
If you'll say the words, I'm.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Sorry, Grandma Sarah, I apologize to you also. It was
a bad thing I said. I should now I should
be punished, A very bad thing to say.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Okay, that's a little weird.
Speaker 10 (13:16):
Uh, your apology? Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Okay, good Sarah.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Were you surprised when you just got thrown in out
of nowhere?
Speaker 10 (13:25):
Yes, I'm just listening and all of a sudden I'm
making okay, run, how do you know?
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Come on, I think you would do an excellent job, Sarah.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Are we gonna win this weekend? Of course?
Speaker 10 (13:40):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Well there you go. That's all worried about. All right, Well,
thank you very much. Let's talk before Ryan gets gone.
He's got to take off to go to Houston. Drew,
what do you tell? What do you what's the worst
thing that could happen in the game Saturday? Obviously we lose,
but what is the scenario where the game's close? I mean,
Arkansas has some players and they can score. They've just
been a complete mess.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
If you talk to anyone around there, it seems like
Musselman's already got his foot out the door going somewhere.
So I guess the biggest fear would be they just
decide they want to show up and play together this
game because they are talented enough to meet with Kentucky.
I just think where Kentucky's turned a corner and they're
looking forward to what's next in March, and Arkansas's ready
for it to be over with Kentucky should be all
right in this one.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
All right, we'll make our picks at the end before
you have to get out of here. First of all,
tell me about Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Stockton Mortgage, the spring buying season is coming in hot.
I mean it's March first right now, when a lot
of buyers out there, a lot of listings hitting the market.
So you want to be ready, get pre approved before
you go out looking for that house. It doesn't matter
if it's thin, Garrett County, Danville, wherever. Stockton Mortgage can
help you. They're all across the state. They're in a
bunch of states. I forget the number but you can
call them. You can apply online. It's at Stockton dot com.

NMLS eight two five nine in MLS equalhausy Lender.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
MLS Major League Soccer.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Right, give me, give me your score and your MVP me.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
I hate to miss the game because I think Daniel
Musselman may be there, so I can really disappointment. We'll
get to see her. But Kentucky wins it. I almost
say ninety one seventy four. I mean, I think it's
the Royal ass kicking tomorrow. And Antonio Reeves has a
monster game every time he plays Arkansas, so I gotta
pick him.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
All right, Well, there you go. You just took mine
that I usually take it. Thank you very much, enjoy
your trip to here. Thank you to see your son
play football. We will take a break and be right back.
This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
To talk to Matt Jones and the crew called the
Clark's Pupping Shot full line at eight five nine two
eight oho twenty two eighty seven or one eight hundred
and six oh six forty two sixty three. You can
also text Matt on the a Vision Glass text machine
at seven seven two seven seven four five two five.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Four working back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Here live.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Lockridge part They have a putting green and restaurant here
with this information about Dix Damn. Dick's dam is right
over here and Harrington Lake. Great crowd, this place is
now full. Here at Lockridge. They got all kinds of
stuff going on, food stuff to for sale.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
If you're in the area, come see us.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
And remember we will be giving away two tickets to
the Food City five hundred here at the end of
the show to take a bus down and get to go.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
So that should be exciting.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven, before
I go to the phones, let me bring up an idea. Hey, everybody,
I got you over here. Here we go. I'm gonna
give up an idea and see what you think about it.
Joelnardi has said, you know, he's mister Brackett, right. Joelnardi
says that he believes the tournament should go from sixty
(16:38):
eight to eighty.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
But here's his case. Here's this case.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Before you say no again, when your visceral reaction is something,
at least here the best case for it. When the
tournament expanded to sixty four, there were only two hundred
and sixty teams in Division one. Now there's three hundred
and seventy five teams in Division one, so now there's
six more conferences than there were then, so there's six
(17:04):
more automatic bids. His argument is, sixty four of you know,
sixty four of two whatever is like, was like twenty
seven percent, and now sixty four of three sixty is
like seventeen percent. And he said if you got to eighty,
it would be a similar percentage of the entire country
(17:27):
as to what makes it now, he would like it
to see it go to eighty, but say that some
of those bids that are not automatic, but the you
know at large bids have to go to teams in
the mid majors or lower. And his argument basically is
Indiana State's twenty five and five. If they lose in
(17:47):
their conference tournament and get upset, they're not going to
the tournament. We should have a way for teams like
that that have had amazing regular seasons to still make
the tournament without taking away teams that can be good.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
So that's his argument for eighty.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
It would basically on the days of the Tuesday Wednesday,
instead of only having four games, you would have like
eight games ors whatever, twelve games that day instead of four.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
What do you make of that as an argument?
Speaker 8 (18:13):
I mean, I kind of agree with his argument. Even
though I want the tournament to stay as it is.
I'm worried about it in the long run, just with
everything happened with conferences and just the future of college athletics.
So if I can just take that eighty and what
he says there and that's the only thing we do
again for a long time, I would probably take it.
But I still just like it just as it is.
That at least doing the percentages makes sense as opposed
(18:36):
to just expanding and expanding and expanding. But I like
the format.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
The NCAA tournament, just so you know, takes a few
a lesser percentage of its teams than the NBA, the NFL,
Major League Baseball, and hockey. The only sport that takes
a fewer percentage in college basketball is college football. And
his argument is why do we take in college where
(19:02):
there are so many colleges all over the country and
actually take a lesser percentage of teams in the playoff
than professional sports, where in theory we should maybe make
it harder. Even though my initial reaction was don't expand
the tournament. When I heard that argument, I was like, well,
I mean, that's not a crazy argument to make to
(19:23):
say we were fine with sixty four when there's two
sixty teams, Why would we be against eighty when there's
three sixty teams?
Speaker 8 (19:31):
The conference tournament is as I see it before.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
It was like that when it was sixty four to
two sixty.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
The tournament the way it is right now is the
greatest thing in all of sports. Better than the Super Bowl,
the World Series, NBA Finals, give me March Mads the
way to be worse.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Though, if there were more games on Tuesday Wednesday, that's what.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You're gonna throw in twelve teams that have no chance
of winning the tournament.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
No chance. Okay, so we're just playing games for the
sake of playing games.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
But you could argue we do that now.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
There hasn't been a a team lower than a seven
seed win the tournament since nineteen eighty three, So like
you could argue that over half the teams we put
in the tournament now have absolutely no chance of winning it,
no matter what, and yet.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
We still love it.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
So I don't I get what you're saying, but I
don't think that's an argument against it, because if you
really just want the teams that can win it, you
should only allow like sixteen teams. So, you know, I
do think there's a I mean, Norfolk State's not winning,
but we.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Want them in.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Yeah, so what's wrong with having Indiana State? Everybody wants
Indiana State in. They could lose and be out. Why
not have them in?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Because you're now having twelve other teams that you're adding
in that aren't playing top tier teams, right they playing.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Some big conference.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
He was just saying he didn't want there to be
twelve mediocre big conference schools. Yeah, he thought that at
least some should be put aside for the.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
Lower com I still think it's a bad idea. I
don't like it. What do you think? You like it
or not? Would you do it? If you had to vote?
Speaker 5 (20:57):
You had told me before I heard his case, I
would have said no. But when I heard his case,
he's adding only he's adding twelve teams instead of But
where do we stop?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Right there?
Speaker 6 (21:07):
He says, and twenty?
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Well no, his argument is, again there's an argument to this,
rather than just mocking it. His argument is make it
a percentage of how many teams there are, and then
that guarantees that we don't get too much figure out
because right now, if we had eighty it would be
almost the exact same percentage as when we expanded to
sixty four in nineteen eighty five. So his argument is
(21:31):
we just always try to keep that percentage. That's, by
the way, what they do in the other sports.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I don't know if you all realize.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
In the NCAAA and the other sports they try to
make it twenty percent of the schools every year.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
College basketball and college football are the only ones where
they don't do that. Now, I can't get the percentages.
I just I guess as much as I want to
see Larry Nerd in the tournament, I think it's very
I like those conference tournaments, you have to win it
to get to the big Dance. I don't really, as
much as i'd like him just giving at larges to
mid majors, like win your conference tournament.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
That's kind of their process is trying to apply to us.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
I mean, remember all these arguments you're making, You're and
Shannon are making, We're made against going.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
To sixty four to begin with, I mean, it does
apply to us. They just pick our at largest because
they're better than the mid major atlets.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Our dads in nineteen eighty three or eighty four, when
they went from forty eight to sixty four, said the
same thing we're saying. They go, well, these teams aren't
gonna win, why are we adding them? It's more fun
as it is. They made that same argument forty years ago.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Well, I mean Kentucky's getting in because they're playing a
much tougher schedule.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Yeah, playing tougher teams.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Well, those teams would like to play a tougher schedule.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
It's just they can't.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Well, I mean that's life. We'll playing for the championship.
Like when your conference tournament get in, I want them in,
But like just giving gifts to those conferences, I don't
think they should get.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
My final thought of it is I everything we're saying
was said forty years ago, and they went, we need
to do it, and the tournament got better.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
It's not crazy that it might get better again that
much time later. Who's next, doing good? Doing good? I
got about a minute. Great, that's been all I need
real quick.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Wanted to check and see if you were talking about
half a cow with nos Lindy or half of beef
for et cetera.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Because the beef is what's on the.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Store, the cow's what's in the field.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
So if there's only seventy five percent a quarter and
a half of the cow, that's.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
Gonna be a little easy to round up.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
So I just wanted to even clarify.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
That I have no idea three quarters of a cow.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Listen, you listen to this show long enough to know
I talk with intricacy about the law and numbers and
the bract But if you ask me about what I'm
talking about about a cow, you know I'm not the
guy to ask for that question. Let's be real. We'll
take a break and be right back here at Lockreach Park.
This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
TJ Smith Personal injury attorney.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Call TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
He'll make them pay.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Here's Not Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Walking back take you Sports Radio here at Lockreach Park,
Matt Jones, True Franklin, Shannon the Dude. Tomorrow Tomorrow, Drew
and I will be at ks Bar at eleven o'clock
for the pregame show for those of you going the game.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
The bar actually gonna open at ten.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
We're gonna open early because the game is at one thirty,
but our pregame show will be at eleven.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
For those of you that want to watch the game.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
The time to get there to watch the game kind
of creeps getting a little earlier.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Because we get more of a crab.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
But I would say if you get there at twelve
thirty twelve forty five for the one to thirty.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Game, you should be good.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
The game is on CBS, so we get another CBS
game there in Reperena. I don't know who's calling it,
but I think this will be we'll be on CBS
here and I think it's they were on next week
against Tesse, but this should be the I think it's
the last CBS game that will ever be at Ropperina.
We've had forty some years of games on CBS from Ropperina,
(24:49):
and I think this will be the final time that
CBS will broadcast a game from Roperena.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
I wonder if they'll give me that yellow banner that's
always in the corner over there on the brick wall,
they'll let me take that one on it is three
straight Saturdays with CBS. We like that and this is
the last Saturday and Roup until next season, so all
the reasons to get down there and cheer on the Cats.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
It's kind of.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Sad, shan and the last time. I mean I CBS
does such a better job of like giving the atmosphere.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
The music. I think that ties into it a lot,
you know that, the march music.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
I'll give you an example, just again in the hockey.
So I was at that arena last night. The last
three or four minutes were so tense, and the crowd
was wild and they were into it.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Then I got home, I was trying to go to sleep,
so I was like, I watched those three or four minutes.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Again and I put them on and it sounded like
no one was there, and I was sitting there thinking,
this is must this is the you know they kept
saying when we were at Mississippi State, this place is
going wild and you can't hear yourself, and I remember going,
it doesn't sound that loud. I just think it's the
way ESPN does the games. But I feel like when
CBS does the games, you can feel the crowds, you
(25:58):
can feel the energy, and I just don't think you
feel that on.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Esp The presentation for whatever reason, is a lot better
on CBS. And it's always a big game. It has
that big game feel when it's on CBS. And yeah,
it is kind of sad that it's going away. So
moving forward with all the games, just be on SEC
network or ESPN.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Or ABC or ABC.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
See so like ABC will start the games that we
have on CBS. The kind of big, big games will
now be on ABC. And actually I think maybe it's
just being on network over cable, but I think when
you listen to a game on ABC, it does sound
like you hear the crowd.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
More on there.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Maybe it's just like something about being on cable. I
don't Again, I'm not a tech guy. I don't know,
but maybe there's some.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
With CBS two nostalgia CBS. They're changing their stuff. It's
different people all the time, but CBS, I mean, I've
heard rafter as long as I've been a Kentucky fan,
and those logos and the music. Same with football. That
hurt even worse last fall, just saying about a CBS
Sports and Kentucky being together.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
So CBS will still have games, but it'll all be
the Big Ten. They're now taking over the Big Ten.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Contract.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
All right, two quick things for you go phones awesome
are weird? Shannon, I'll let you go first. Taylor Swift
made pop tarts for the entire Chiefs offensive line before
three of the games this year.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Awesome mad pop tarts.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I think it's awesome. I don't think there's anything weird
about that at all. That's it's no different than bacon
cookies or a cake.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
They said pop She herself made them, didn't have somebody
else made them. She made homemade, which I didn't know.
Does any do you all make homemade pop tarts? I
didn't know you could make homemade pope tarts? Oh you do,
Misty friend.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
Yeah, Taylor gotta have frosting on it, toil.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Taylor Swift awesome.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Yeah, me, I'll call it awesome. It's just another thing
of her being normal that people get mad about. Like
if some other player's wife did that, you'd be like, oh,
that's nice. But because it's her, people.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Like out of here.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
I mean, she just made cookies for the team.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I think it's all right. This one makes a little
more controversial.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
A new podcast, a former teammate of Lebron said before
games Lebron in the playoffs will take his jersey and
shorts in the locker room and set them long out
on the floor before the game and let them sit
for thirty minutes, and no one is allowed to touch.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Them or you can't walk over them.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
You have to walk around them.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Awesome or weird?
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Not only there's anything awesome about that. That's strange. Yeah,
obviously a superstition that he has for whatever reason.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
Yeah, that's that's sort of bad to touch his jersey anywhere.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah, would you step over it?
Speaker 8 (28:41):
I mean it's Lebron, Yeah, gotta go around it.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
He'll probably have you kicked off the team.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Yeah, you're traded that after Yeah, yeah, I think you would.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
I think you have to respect it because he is
your teammate. But it is really strange.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
I think I put mine right next to him. I'm
in Yeah, everybody's touch on either.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
Yeah, that would be funny if like the worst guy
on the team have said, I'm with you, you can't
step over min.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
I used to do it for the first day of
school with whatever outfit I was gonna wear in first grade.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I mean maybe.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
Lebron just started then and hasn't changed.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
You think it's like a school out Oh, before.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
My first baseball game. I think I laid that thing
out too, you know, just fair enough. Make it as
far as Lebron I like it.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Who's up next, Jared? Jared? How are you? Jared?
Speaker 11 (29:26):
I'm good?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
How are you doing good?
Speaker 11 (29:30):
Two things? If I had the time, I travel a
lot for work and try to go to a game
wherever I'm at. And I was in Columbus last night
and ended up at the Ohio State Nebraska game. The
first thing is that place was maybe three quarters away
full and was louder and more energetic than any conference
game I've been at rough in the last five years.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Oh stop stop, I don't listen. I don't I'm not,
I know, respectfully, I don't believe you. I was at
the Kentucky Georgia game, which wasn't even like the Kentucky
Indiana or excuse me, the Kentucky Tennessee or Kentucky Alabama game,
and the Kentucky Georgia game was loud and like I
love you go to I haven't.
Speaker 8 (30:12):
Missed one this year. I don't have a single complaint
about Roperna. Maybe the very very very early games the
n zones up top weren't good, but the since SEC
players started, these high caliber opponents, it's been great and
they've been there early.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
I mean, are you really trying to tell me that
Ohio State Nebraska basketball was better environment than Kentucky Alabama.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Last Saturday as we was as we were whipping their tail?
You really believe that, sir?
Speaker 11 (30:40):
Well, to be fair, I haven't been to a game
this year.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
But thank you very much. Well, that's what I'm saying.
You've been to games the last three years we've stunk
and one year it was COVID Like that's different. I mean,
I did you.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Go in there was cardboard cutouts.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I understand, but you haven't been this year.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
I will. I mean, look, Kentucky's environment is not great
every game, but when it's good, you're never gonna convince
me Ohio State Nebraska basketball is better.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
I've been to Ohio State games. It is not like
RUP when it's rocket.
Speaker 11 (31:20):
Well, the second thing is they went up in with
under a minute left, so I put him Matt Jones
and was gonna try to beat some traffic and stopped
in the bathroom and they were talking about Jake Diebler,
the interim head coach, and there and one of the
guys said that they can't get rid of them, they
gotta hire them again, because that would be like hiring
(31:41):
Caw for half a season.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Well, yeah, I don't know if Jake dew I've never
even heard the name Jake Diebler, so I'm not sure
if that's at all like cow.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
But I appreciate. I appreciate the call.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
I understand Listen, Kentucky's environment in rup is not perfect,
but I agree with Mark's story that in making legitimate,
like you know, critiques, we have a group of fans. Again,
a lot of them are young who are just like,
this is the worst environment in the country.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
That is just not true. It's just not true.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
No, I've been at everyone this year. I've heard personal
stories and maybe like a person got told to sit down.
They were cheering. That exists throughout the arena, but just
being there, the overall atmosphere with the players are hearing.
It's been great. They've showed up, especially for the big ones.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
I've been to every great arena in the country and
a lot of them that aren't great. So have you often,
Drew went, We went to a lot of them together.
Kansas is the best, and it's the best by lot.
Duke's is very good, and then you get like Auburn's good.
They're like small ones that are good. But Kentucky's in
(32:48):
the top ten. And when Kentucky is loud, it's as
loud as any of them.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
It is.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Now, it's not that on a consistent basis, Shannon, but
when it's a good game, it's as.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Loud as any Yep, those Saturday Conference games, when it's
you know, capacity, and Kentucky's whipping up on somebody, it's, yeah,
it's really loud.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
I mean, you wouldn't say it's not a good atmosphere.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
You will to see a bad atmosphere, Go to UCLA, right,
go to North Carolina. North Carolina is a lot worse
atmosphere than us.
Speaker 8 (33:19):
Go to Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
I mean, Tennessee is not a great atmosphere.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
Kansas is better. And if anybody tries to say they're not,
they're wrong. Duke's is better. But of the power programs, to.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Me, Drew, we're at least third.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
I agree, And I've said this a couple of times
this season already. It's it's not just the attendance and
the people there, whoever's doing it at rough the marketing team.
They're doing a great job of keeping the energy going
during timeouts. They're playing music. We've talked about the snack cam,
but the dance cam has been very active. Here's been
years in the past we put people on the screen,
they're just sitting there. They've really worked in a lot
of that stuff to keep the energy going during break
(33:52):
So it's it's kind of a you know, the whole game.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Who's up next, Chris, Chris, go ahead, Chris.
Speaker 9 (33:58):
Hey, guys, I'm calling on in the spirit of unity

Speaker 5 (36:24):
You know, I get a picture of you every time
you're going and you sing with such a pain, like
your constipated face, And I love it because I said,
that's how you know he's rocking.
Speaker 6 (36:34):
You gotta feel it. You know you're covering songs, you
gotta you gotta be in the moment.
Speaker 7 (36:38):
That.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
By the way, this view right here over the lake
is historic. It was a scene in the movie April
Love in nineteen fifty four with the actor slash singer
Pat Boone as one of the Stars was filmed right here.
Speaker 8 (36:54):
Do you know who Pat Boone? I thought, I recognize
the scene. Have that on DVD?
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Bit you really?
Speaker 8 (37:01):
I don't remember pet Boone as well as the movie,
but it was a great movie.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Boone here, Well, no, I'll tell you how. He was
like a crooner right, Like he was kind of like
a crooner singer.
Speaker 5 (37:10):
But then I believe Shannon in like the nineties, he
started singing heavy metal.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
Really pet Boone?
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Am I right?
Speaker 5 (37:17):
I don't know, no, No, I am right. I'm telling
you he was like he was like a crooner. He
was like, oh, like that kind of singer. Yeah, and
then he like when he was old, he tried to
kind of get hip.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
He sang like Frank Sinatra joined Metallica.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
That's no, he created. It was like, be like Frank
Sinatra created Metallica.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Wow, that's what he did.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
Looking up, I listen to this guy on the way back.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
I'm certain I don't know if you I don't think
it was good or successful he did. He was up next,
we got Jeff and Lexington. Jeff and Lexington, how are
you hey, Matt?
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Real quick, I want to apologize for my hum last week.
Speaker 6 (37:58):
I called last week, you know, with three things I
hate about in that Jones.
Speaker 8 (38:02):
But I was just dont to do that as as
a champion humor.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
And I hope that did not offend you and been
very upset about it since.
Speaker 7 (38:10):
And one of your colleagues there, the one who isn't there,
advice not to do that.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
So I pull that back today, if you will.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
And also, Matt, I don't know how you get involved
in this contest, but I'm throwing my name into that,
my head into the ring for at a host of the.
Speaker 6 (38:24):
Show one day.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
All right, well, just win the bracket contest and you
will be uh and it will be able to do it.
I appreciate the call.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
I mean, it's not a talent show, and if it
was calling in and telling three things you don't like
about me would not have been the way to win
that talent show.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Who's up next? And Ed go ahead and.
Speaker 11 (38:43):
Hey guys, hey the field of eighty. I guess what
the way to handle that?
Speaker 3 (38:49):
It might be kind of fun.
Speaker 11 (38:50):
Actually, the more I think about it, just expand the
play in.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Well that's what it is. I mean, if they do
the field of eight, if they do the Field of.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
The theory is they take the nine, ten, eleven, and
twelve seeds or whatever, and you're playing for those seats.
The thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen stay, the top eight
stay and you're playing for those seats. It's like the
playing games in the NBA playoffs now's that's basically what
they would be talking about.
Speaker 11 (39:20):
But the beautiful part about the tournament is it doesn't
matter how.
Speaker 8 (39:23):
Many teams get in it.
Speaker 11 (39:25):
We always pick there's always a legitimate national champion. This
year it's gonna be the Kentucky Wildcat.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
Well, I hope you're right. Yeah, we were talking about that.
I appreciate the call during the break, Shannon, you go
through history. I've said this, I think a couple of
weeks ago, and this is something to remember as the
brackets come out. Twenty nine of the last thirty five years,
twenty nine in the last thirty five years, the national
champion has been a one or two seed. Twenty nine
in the last thirty five years. Three of the six
(39:53):
years they haven't, they were the number three seed. And
then only three other times has that not been the case,
and two of them were Yukon, So it's a different
you know, one and two seeds win the tournament all
the time. We're probably not gonna be a one or
two seed, but we could get to that three seed.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Yeah, and that is at least a plausible thing, you know,
with this team, even if they're a five seed, I
could see them making a run to the final four.
Speaker 6 (40:24):
I could see them losing in the second round.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
I don't know which team will show up from night
to night, So if they made a run to the
final four, I wouldn't be surprised regardless of their seed,
just because they can score so many points.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
CBS did a story that said, basically, if Kentucky will
play Reed Shepherd, Rob Dillingham and Antonio Reeves, they'll win
the title, and if they don't, they won't. That was
basically that was essentially what the story basically was saying.
We're if you look at our percentages, we're the best
team in the country when you play those three guys,
(40:56):
and when you don't play those three guys a lot,
or you don't play them together, we're just average.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
That's essentially what the story said. Do you agree with that?
Speaker 8 (41:05):
I think everyone who has seen Kentucky play basketball agrees
with that. I mean, there's some years where people have
their preference or you're debating who should be in. Like
I said yesterday, you have other coaches talking about, holy crap,
John Caliperry's five he just put against us. We have
no answer for Nate Oates said he found his lineup
against us. If other coaches are saying that out loud,
and you know you don't normally talk about another team,
(41:26):
they're even saying Cal's got to play those guests.
Speaker 5 (41:29):
Just to give you some numerical examples per hundred possessions,
So one hundred offensive possessions. When Reid, rob and Antonio
are in together, we outscore other points by our other
teams by thirty five points. When Reid is out, we lose.
(41:49):
We're losing by twelve. And when Reed and Antonio are
not in together, we're losing.
Speaker 6 (41:57):
So like.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Pretty clear, Shan, he's.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
All those debts to cow Maybe yeah, I mean, do
you think he knows that? Do you think he actually
breaks down the analytics of games. I don't see Cal
doing that, but he should know that.
Speaker 8 (42:09):
Though I want to say all on this Arkansas game
is when they went to Reeves and Reid in the
second half, it was tied and they went on like
a fifteen oh run in Faville.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
All right, So a couple of things here. First of all,
Don Franklin.

Pregame show tomorrow's at eleven. Kspar opens at ten. Shannon,
tell me the score and who's gonna win.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
Kentucky wins ninety five eighty three. I'll take Reach Shepherd
as my MVP.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
All right, he already took Antonio, So what do you got.
Speaker 8 (42:48):
Oh, let's blow him out. Ninety two to sixty eight.
My MVP is a homeless said Justin Edwards had to
catch himself, big Z. I think it's Justin Floor. I'm
not saying.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Ninety to seventy six.
Speaker 5 (43:02):
Rob Dillingham matches Reed Shepherd's thirty two points he had
last game, and we gets it this game. Thank you
all very much here at Lock Reach Park. We very
much appreciate it. We will see you later. This has
