Quarterback Now You Sports Radio If I'm nine two eight
oh twenty two eighty seven Nice great crowd out here today.
Thank you for coming out. I wondered with the cold
and all that, but everybody still comes wild eggs here
in Hamburg. They just brought out the food. This is
some good food. This is breakfast lasagna. This is what
(01:20):
has been his favorite potato head cast role. They got
tots ruben. This is some great looking food out here.
I don't know how we're gonna eat it all, but
we're gonna try sh in it.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
We just have to. It's we just have to look
at it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Now.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
We can't eat and talk at the same time, so
we just stare at it.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
We might, we might if it if it stays out here.
If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,
couple open lines, so give us a shout. Let's go
over a couple of things here, Ryan, before we get
back to the uh uh. To the phone yesterday, the
coaches yelling conversation. I was getting messages all day. First
of all, it was nice to see I have more
(01:57):
support from the coaches. Act like lunatics thing. Usually that's
a Usually I give that an opinion and that's unpopular
and people go, Matt, people need to toughen up. Kids.
In my day would would go and you could punch
them right in the face and they'd be fine with it.
And people say that, and I actually get it. Feels
like every year I get more and more people on
my side on the coaches should stop acting like, uh
(02:18):
like lunatics. Here's what I didn't realize. The lind Camp
story has gotten a lot of attention. But there are
these stories everywhere, Like I think parents maybe or kids
are more like, hey, stop yelling at us. People send
me stories all over the place of this happening. I
don't know why the lind Camp one went so viral,
but apparently there are a lot of others.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I don't know if you listen to. But I grew
up around coaches.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I've heard that.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
My dad was a high school career and I had
some lot of coaches. Yesterday said this in this instant
just from the video. He said, the one thing that
crossed the line.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
No, there was there was, there was a line.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And he said the one word too many times he
goes usually.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So how many times is enough? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I don't know, but he said the fact he kept
saying over and over every other word, and he said
that one phrase.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, that one phrase, which didn't make the video that's
gone viral. You might watch and go, well, that was
a lot of times to say that word, but it
doesn't seem that bad. There's another part of it where
he says something that's a blank to a blank that's
a little bit more, and I think that was probably
a big part of it too.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I think that's the one that got him. And also
just not saying they should do it or shouldn't do it.
But if you got forty kids on your football team
in your locker room, you got forty potential cameras looking
at you, and his stuff is just gonna get out
more and more if it's going on, and it.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Now holds coaches accountable, right that everybody's got the ability
to pulo out a phone and video whatever's going on.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You think they'll come a time. I mean, like Mark
Pope is not really a yeller. But you may remember, well,
is it twenty fourteen or ting on? It was like
twenty twelve, twenty thirteen when John Caliperry there was that
close up video of him calling Terrence Jones. Yes, Do
you remember that it became a big or what do
you think that would be thought of? Different. That was
(04:02):
what twenty twelve? Do you think that would be thought
of differently now twelve years later? Ryan?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Probably a little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I mean he got up in his thing and said
you stupid blankety blink.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I think it probably would carry a little more weight
in today's world, to today's society than it did in
twenty twelve.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
At college though, is it different though than high school?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Well? I think it is different. I think it's certainly different.
The question is how different is it? Right if we
walk in.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
At halftime of a UK football game. Oh, I bet
Kentucky's getting their butt camp. I'm sure there's a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Of that going on. But I think that it would
just be interesting. I let's say that Mark stoops or
just pick your coach, that their halftime speech was recorded.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Oh, there'd be a lot of people upset. But the
pig in the locker room don't care.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah. Max Duffey on the pregame, Well, I mean you
say they don't care, but do we know they don't
care or they just say they don't care, Like.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I mean halftime of an SEC football game. Those people
don't care that he's cussing. They're probably cussing with it.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I don't know, depends on what he's saying and with
a video, Yeah, there's a difference to me. Okay, so
that Lynn Camp coach, well, I still don't think he
should have said that he wasn't calling his players' names.
To me, that's different than getting in a kid's face
and saying you blankety blank blankety blank blankety blank. I
think that that, to me is much worse. Actually, yeah,
(05:27):
this thing with Kala we're talking about in twenty ten,
I he was a one line but like that kind
of thing, I think would be a.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Lot harder it would. It'd be on PTI.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, it was then be debated on all the sports
talk shows and everything. And the thing about this this
dude at Lynn Camp, the coach brought this up. He goes,
that wasn't the first time that the of course.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Not already he knew it was coming.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I mean, if it happened, if you say it that
many times, then you say it a lot. I mean,
I think that's uh, that's probably true. I also read
an interesting story Drew that's in The Athletic today, which
is about the college football playoff. So the college football playoff,
I just found that like logistics as somebody who puts
on events, I think the difference between a successful event
(06:10):
and an unsuccessful event is often logistics, Right, we talk
about that. I think like with the Blue White Game,
like it was like sixty percent good, but there were
some logistics that needed to be worked on. So think
about the college football Playoff. They're having to put the
logistics on of planning a game which could be at
(06:30):
a million different stadiums, and you don't know where it's
going to be, and so how do you prepare? So
I read this article the college Football Playoff. People they
went to ninemy colleges that they thought might in theory
have to host a game, basically all the power schools
and the secondary schools that in theory could do it.
(06:54):
So they last summer, Drew had to book a block
of hotel rooms in all of those cities, including Lexington,
right enough for a team media like two hundred and
fifty rooms for the other team. So in every city
in college football they had to book those rooms. Then
(07:16):
as the season's gone on and teams have gotten eliminated,
they have called and canceled. So at some point they
called some hotel here in Lexington and canceled a block
of rooms. But there's a lot more to it than that.
Most schools, the students are out of school that weekend,
(07:38):
So at like Alabama and Georgia, they save like twenty
thousand seats for students, but they don't know if twenty
thousand students are gonna come yeah, and they don't know
whether to save them twenty thousand tickets or not. Now,
we're used to in pro sports, teams make you buy
your playoff tickets two or three months ahead even if
(07:59):
you don't go, But in college they've never done that.
So colleges are sitting here and decide thinking, should we
offer our season ticket holders the tickets? Now? Does that
make us look presumptuous? Does that make us look like
we don't think we're gonna win our conference? Because if
we win our conference, we don't have to host a
game then. And this is the one that the NCAA
(08:21):
or the College Football Playoffs says they're the most worried about.
How do you get to the people to work in
the stadium. Those are part time jobs. You're not gonna
know until two weeks before the game whether or not
you have a game. Those people, by their very nature
may have booked other work that day.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, probably a lot of them did, and a.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Lot they said, a lot of these schools are worried
about they need maybe two thousand employees, and they're like,
what if we can't get two thousand employees to come
work the day of the game, And even if we can,
we might have to use people that have never worked
in the stadium before. So like, you don't think about
those logistics. But the guy that they interviewed was like,
(09:06):
I'm up at night every night worried about the logistics
for these four home games. That's interesting.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
We think about how exciting it's gonna be to have
these on a home campus, but they've never had to
host something like this before at those times, And depending
on the school, could be a small town that's gonna
be taken on.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
You mentioned the media.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I want to add that could be a huge group
depending on the game, not your true teams.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And normally for a regular home game in Lexington, Kentucky
has six months to prepare for it. They're gonna have
two weeks to prepare for it. And unlike the NCAA tournament,
where you know the site's years in advance, they don't.
They will not know until two weeks before whether or
not they're gonna have one hundred thousand people show up
(09:49):
in their city on a given day.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
You don't think about things like that.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You don't. But isn't that interesting?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Very like the employees you said, these part time employees,
they are, they're not gonna wait around.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
They got other jobs. They're gonna go ahead and take
something else.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
That's what they said. So like, for instance, they interviewed
the guy at Georgia. He said, we have to make
a decision, go ahead and hire these people for an
event that might not happen, might not even happen or not,
and have to train two thousand new people for a
(10:23):
game because they may have booked work to do something else.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
If you're one of the top teams, I think you
can go ahead and just go ahead and book everything, right.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But no, you can't because okay, let's say you're let's
just say you're Texas A and M. If you're Texas
A and M and you make the SEC Championship game
and win, yeah you're not gonna host a game. You
skip that round. But if you make the SEC Championship
game and lose, you're probably gonna be hosting a playoff game, that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You really got a big challenge and a big challenge.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
And then they said, if we don't offer it to
our season ticket holders in advance, if we wait till
the day of and sell it, what's to keep the
other team from coming and buying all our tickets. It's true,
so actually just an interesting thing. I hadn't really thought
about the about the mouth.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Said about the students. I han't thought about that they're
not even going to be around.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
They said, they have no idea what to do about
the students. Do we give these students tickets? Do we
not give them tickets? What if we give them twenty
thousand tickets and everybody goes home and only five thousand
people come, don't show up? No, who's up next? Jason
is up next? Jason? Go ahead, Jason.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Hey, maybe Bob Costas could fill in from one of
those jobs. That'd be good.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Well, Shannon doesn't think you can do any.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Of it, No list to do it. In silence.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
I know, wow, I.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
That there's no way you can. There's no way you
can experience sports in the last forty years without thinking
about Bob Costas. But I thought I would give you
guys a challenge. How about the Mount Rushmore of broadcasters
as a good discussion.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, I mean there's many different generations, so like, I mean,
I don't remember guys from you know, the thirties and forties.
So Lebryan, let's just do this, like, let's just do
our lifetime, our lifetime. The four biggest sports announcers of
our lifetime. I'm just gonna go off the top of
my head. John Madden, for me, is probably gonna be
(12:22):
in that list, just because when I think NFL, I
think of John Madden. I mean, if you just look
at how many sports he does, big events, don't you
have to throw Joe Buck in there just because he
does the biggest baseball And I don't even like the
guy really, but he does the biggest baseball, he does
the biggest football. What else? Well, for me in the seventies,
(12:45):
it was Howard Cosell, But that's not really I mean,
That's why I'm saying our lifetime, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
What is my lifetime? He's a little older.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Okay, well I met the show with general. But okay,
if you want to make it just yours, that's fine,
I'll do it.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Howard Cosell, Obcostas, Vin Scully, then Scully's good and the
fourth one. I'm kind of torn.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
It was a pretty old guys.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Well they're the legends. Yeah, you gotta be old to
be a legend.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I turned on TV now and the guy who's doing
play by play, I've never heard of this guy before
in my life.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Most of the time. Yeah, I mean, I think you're right.
It is tougher now. There are very few guys who
do multiple sports like they did when we were a kid,
like people tend to like. I turned on the Celtics
and Pacers. I don't know if you heard this two
nights ago, and Jay Billis was calling the game, and
it threw me off. I'm like, what are you doing? Like, Jay,
this is this is this is NBA. You're a college guy.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I still have that with Kirk doing NFL.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Now, Yeah, Kirk Herbstreet, would you put Dick vitew I.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Was about to say that.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
I know it's just college basketball, but when you think
college basketball announcers, you think Dick Vitel.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I think Dick Vitale has got to be I mean,
who's done it longer than him.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
He's got to be in the conversation because they're for
a stretch about ten years, every big game by Towel
was there calling the game.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
That's a good question, sir. I appreciate the call. I'm
kind of with you, though, Bob cost has got to
be on the list. I don't care what Sha said.
I feel like he's got to be on the list
somewhere right.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
He doesn't get him out, he gets a little hill
about five too.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Loo's up next? Tom is up next? Tom? Go ahead, Tom?
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Okay, mattuh I got two like Madison, I got two things.
One i'd like to ask you about, uh, your your
view on the electoral college. I want to elaborate on
that after I get off the phone.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
I want to hear your take on just asked me
that during the break, Okay.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
And the other thing I want to mention is, I
think a lot of coaches back when I played was
in high school football, a lot of our coaches, many
of them came out of the military, and they saw
how effective that was in the military. You know, we
probably have the best military on earth, and that's the
way they're treated as in fees.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Okay, that's probably a really good point that they they
used that military training and thought, that's how you coach.
I think that's a good point.
Speaker 8 (15:10):
And other than that, that's it.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, I consider the military a little different, Like I
feel like the military gets a little more leeway to
do what they need to do. Like I don't what
I feel. I appreciate the call what I feel about coaches,
I don't feel about the military. My quick take on
the electoral college because Basher said it should go away. Uh.
I used to believe that the electoral college was a
(15:34):
decent idea because the idea was it makes all the
states important, and in theory, I think that could be true.
But here's the problem. Forty five of the states are
already decided every election. Kentucky doesn't matter, California doesn't matter,
Alabama doesn't matter. It seems a little weird to me
(15:54):
that the same four states decide who our president is
every year. Seems a little weird than a this big Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
and Georgia are basically going to decide who our president
is for the next twenty years. That just doesn't seem
right to me. I feel like if everybody, if it
was equal, candidates would have an incentive to go to Kentucky,
(16:16):
in California and New York, and people say, well, they'll
only go to the big states. I actually don't know
if that's true. I think they'll go where their people are, right,
They'll go where they're where their people are. What I'd
like to see happen sometime is for the Republicans to
win the popular vote and Democrats to win the electoral
College so that we could all unite and say maybe
we ought to do something different, because I just feel like,
(16:38):
you know, I heard the Prime Minister of France or
whatever he goes, the security of France can't come down
to what the people of Wisconsin think every four years,
and I was like, well, if I was in France,
I would certainly think that. But it also seems weird
to me that Harrison Trump only visit Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Feels like that's not how it should be.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's just my And you know, that was quite a
patriotic little speel you did right there. Maybe you want
to stand up and sing God you are standing up.
I want to sing God bless America.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Ahead, feel free, go ahead, Okay, all right, let's go.
Let's take a break and be right back. The scars
are welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. By the way,
my scenario I mentioned before the break where I could
see a world where Trump won the popular vote and
lost the electoral College this year, that actually could happen.
(17:29):
I don't think it will. I think it's more likely
to be the other way around. But it could, and
then maybe that would change people's mind.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Did what happened with Hillary and Trump?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
A couple Hillary wonts have won the popular vote like
every election except four since like ninety two, so but
I don't think that will necessarily always be the case.
A five nine, two, eight, oh, twenty two eighty seven.
Here's some people we missed. Jim Nance, how do we
miss that one? How do we miss that one?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
For sure?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Al Michaels going yeah, uh, Keith Jackson, Keith Jackson, I
like a lot of people giving the shout out to
Vern Lundquist.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I thought about Vern. I didn't say him, but I
was thinking about that.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Al Michaels and Jim Nance are two that like, if
you're talking just about our lifetimes, Ryan, those are two
pretty good ones.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
That's all I'm going going. Howard Cosell, Bob Costa is
Jim Nance and Al Michaels. I'm bumping Vin Scully one.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
That's no but a little under the radar. But we
used to see him all the way all the time
at Keenland. Drew dick Enburg. Oh yeah, we ran into
Dickenburgh over there. We used to see him, used to
be on everything, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Patty mentioned Tom Hammond.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
He's from Hammon right here in Lexington. Yeah, he did
all he would do, a ton of stuff. Uh a
f nine twenty two eighty seven. Tell me about Stockton Morton.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Oh, here we go, Stockton Mortgan.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
You know there's a lot of lunatics that we're running
around last night scaring kids. But your home buying season
doesn't have to be scary, matter of.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Fact, just as a chat transition.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Well, well then I can think of real quick. Jad
said his experience was doctor Mortgage.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Everyone tells you all the horror stories of buying a
home for the first time.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That couldn't be further from the truth. Changed doctor Mortgage.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
He's a home buyer and he got he didn't get
scared by some lunatic running around with a mask on
last night. So he bought a house and had a
great experience doctor Morgan, He says, truly has gone above
and beyond to make the process as easy and as
efforless as possible.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Let them show you just how real professionals do it.
Stocktor Mortgage and MLS eight two five nine equal healsing Lender.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
All right, I have a question for you guys. Somebody
asked me this a couple of days ago, and we
haven't gotten to it yet. Mark Pope. All right, two questions.
Question One, give me the number of years he will
be the coach at the University of Kentucky, and it
can be for whatever reason you think. How many years
(19:43):
does Mark Poach Pope coach at Kentucky?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Ryan lenvon Gosh Kyle was here fourteen, so I'll say fifteen.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Wow, that would make him the second longest tenured coach
in the history of the school.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Fifteen fifteen?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
All right, well, all these daughters are married and have kids,
and he wants to be grandpa.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
He'll ride it out.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Fifteen Why does he have to wait thiose daughters get
married to.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Be they're gonna have kids, you know, get married, have.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
To be able to be a grandpa. Okay, all right,
what's already married? Fifteen years?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
From now.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
That's that's on down the road. I'm going sixteen though,
I think it's gonna work. Where else is he gonna go?
If it's working, he loves it here. It's not like
another job's gonna call him pull him away. So as
long as he's successful, and I believe he will be,
I think he'll have a good run here.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Long run.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
These are two lot of long numbers.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
No, that is a good point because this is his
dream job at Kentucky. So I don't think that he
would leave to go to another school.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
How old is he? He's forty's fifties, low fifties. Okay,
I'm going to give him ten years.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
I think he has some good seasons, maybe hit some
bumps in the road. I mean we've seen this with
past coaches, you know, even Tubby he won a national championship. Eventually,
uh just kind of trend it down. So I think
eventually he'll be probably let go.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Ten years. That was a good run though, right, eventually
ten years a good run.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah, I was. I mean that's exactly the number I
was gonna say. It's ten. I mean, I just think
this is a job that it just wears on you.
Wouldn't wear or the other like I think, you know,
Cal stayed what four years too long? And so that
was ten. You go back to Joeby Hall, there'll be
people who say, probably stayed one or two years too long,
(21:23):
that was ten? Right, Patino was here what nine? Tubby
was here ten. I mean that's I think that's kind
of the I think that's kind of the frame is like,
it's a ten year job. So I'm gonna say I
was gonna say ten. But that's a guess. But you
are right, this is his dream job in a way,
(21:44):
maybe for some of those other coaches that wasn't.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Do you think, let's say he has a great ten years,
do you think he would leave to go to the
NBA like Patino.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I don't think he would either.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
So that means he would either have to retire on
his own, which I feel like he's got more than
ten years in him, or he would be fired.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, there's three different someone would leave this job, Ryan
get fired, go to another one, or retire. I don't
think he's going to another one. Do you agree with that?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
I don't think he'll go to another one.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I think he'll run it out, have a great success
here and then after fifteen years of coaching, I think
he'll go into like the athletic administration.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
He's fifty fifty years old. He's a little over fifty
fifty one.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Patty thought maybe fifty ten. I'm going we can look
it up.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
So let's say there is the right answer to this,
so he's fifty one or fifty two. I also think,
you know, with the money these guys make, now, it's
a lot of money coaching at these schools, you don't
need to coach until you're seventy five years old like
people maybe did before. Who's up next? Got Jacob Dex Jake,
I got thirty seconds, go for it?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Okay, where would you place the Where would you place
Marty Brenneman.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
In your in your Mount Rushmore? People love people love
him locally, but I don't know that he would be
known nationally, but locally he would I mean he would serve.
I mean he'd be known, but he wouldn't be in
the top four. But locally for sure, Thank you. There
you go, Jake there. You never know what Jake's gonna say.
We'll take a break. If I'm nine tighty sevens kso
(23:23):
welcome back. It is Conducky Sports Radio. Beautiful Friday started
to warm up a lot. And here at Wild Eggs
where you can get great breakfast lunch. It's an awesome
place here in Hamburg. Got one up there close to
KS Bar, speaking a ksbar. We will have the game,
all the games, all day tomorrow and then of course
Kentucky Tennessee at night. Just some for some planning in
(23:47):
the future. Monday, of course, is the opening game, and
we hope you will come in before you head off
to Mark Pope's first regular season game. And remember, put
on your calendars. We're having our Kentucky Basketball Pope Era
party for Kentucky and Duke on November twelfth. We're all
gonna be there watching the game. Might even commit Shannon
to drive up uh for a big the big opener
(24:10):
on the twelfth.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Big big party night tip off not toil what nine thirty.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh yeah, you're it's gonna be late, so you can uh,
but you can come and join. Well, it'll be a
good way to to kick off the season. Eight fi
nine to two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Let's
do our draft Kings KSR parlay. We are three of five,
we've won three to the last five weeks. If you've
been backing with us this, you have made a lot
of money. Same rules. You got to pick a seven
(24:35):
point favorite or less to win. Also can pick an underdog.
I'm going first. I've had a lot of success making
this team. By lock of the week. Nebraska, that's what
I was looking at.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Boy boy, no, I was looking at.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I got. This one's a good, This one's a lot.
Nebraska is at home seven point favorite to u C.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
L A.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
They are not losing to UCLA, who's terrible at home.
I feel very good about this one. Not gonna put
the lock status on it, but I will make my
pick for the parlay. Uh, Nebraska, what about you?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Somehow Minnesota is a three point favorite at Illinois.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
That was gonna be my other one. I don't understand
how that is.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
So I'm taking the Illinois plus three.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
So Illinois. Yeah, so you're taking ill So we got
Illinois plus three. But again, this is they gotta win.
That was the one I was gonna pick.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Actually, that's my pick. Let's do it Illinois. No, he
already did it know I'm saying, but that was gonna
be mine.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I love it, So I like that one too.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
So now I got a backup.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I'm good. What is yours?
Speaker 4 (25:34):
We just talked about him. A and M has to
win out to achieve their dreams. They've been special. They're
at South Carolina. I think it's a three point spread.
A and M's favorite, but they're gonna win that one.
South Carolina has struggled with teams that run the ball.
Old miss killed them that way. A and M's just
gonna run all over South Carolina'll be a little bit close.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
But A and M will win it. I'm nervous about
that one, but I'm alright with it. All right. So
A and M Illinois, Nebraska and Shannon.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
We were talking how we're gonna get our fourth We
were talking during the break.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I really wanted to pick Vandy, but you guys kind
of poop poo with that idea. They're a seven and
a half point dog at all A lot. How do
you guys feel about Ohio State beating Penn State. I
feel good about Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
James Franklin rarely wins a big one.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, he's not gonna win this one. I think we're state.
I'm I'm taking Ohio State on the road.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
All right. There, he goes, who got Ohio State, Illinois, Nebraska,
and A and M. Three big ten games are part
of the KSR parlay. We'll get it up this afternoon
and join us. We just keep winning. So if you're
not playing, that's on you. All right. My second part
of my Mark Pope question, I just asked you how
long he'd be here? You you and I said ten years. Yep,
(26:40):
you said fifteen. You said sixteen?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Getting crazy?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I know what's how many? How many A national championships?
I knew it, B final fours, C SEC titles? All right, Shannon,
You've got him here ten years? Yeah, so in ten years,
what's it gonna be.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I feel like, first of all, Mark Pope is gonna
put a big emphasis on winning SEC titles.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
We're talking about regular season.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Titles or regular season titles. I'm gonna say he gets four,
four out of ten, four out of ten, Okay, I
feel like that's a pretty good percentage.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Final fours. I'm gonna go three, three, okay, National title one?
All right? Let me go, since I also have tenures, O,
every coach that stays here ten years wins a title.
So I'm gonna say one national championship You and I
are very similar on this. I'm gonna say three final
fours in ten years, wanna say four? Gonna say three,
(27:38):
and I'm gonna say four. I have the exact same
answers you do. Four SEC regular season championships, and I
think he's gonna put a huge emphasis on the SEC
tournament because he knows how much it means to us.
So I'm gonna say five SEC turnaments. I think we
win one out of two SEC tournaments during the Mark
Pope era, maybe not this year, but that starts next year. Uh,
(28:02):
you said fifteen years, Ryan, what's he doing fifteen years?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I was gonna go five SEC championships in in fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
So he wins one out of three SEC league.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Titles because even like you said, he's gonna put more
emphasis on it, the other teams in the SEC are
a lot better than in recent years.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I'll go five final fours. I'm gonna go four, four
and fifteen years years. But national times, I'm just gonna
say one.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I mean, so you think he's here fifteen years and
wins one and everybody's cool.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I mean, Cal just won one, Tubby, just one.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
One, and then we ran him off yep. Said yeah,
well just for just for the record, Cal Tubby Joe
b all won one title, so by the end they
pretty much won all of them to go.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I'm just I'm saying one, all right, one, all right?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
What about you?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
That's good company. By the way, too, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Mean it's good company. But remember we're fickle. By the
end of those runs. Was ready for all those guys
still gotta win at the.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
End of the day.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
With the longest tenure, I still only have one title.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
But I'm just say.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Four final fours, five SEC regular season and seven SEC tournaments. Okay,
because of the advantage Kentucky gets in that tournament, he'll
win more of those than regular So we all have
a similar general view.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Here's what's interesting about the job. This really just occurred
to me. I want you to think about the Kentucky
basketball job historically. Go back to rup. You could make
a strong argument that Rick Patino is the only dude
that Kentucky fans weren't ready to go at the end,
(29:41):
which is kind of amazing. Yeah, pretty much every coach
we had we were kind of ready to get out,
except Rick Patino.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
He left before he could wear out us. Welcome.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah, so you do. It does make you think that, like,
this is a job that when you get there, you
almost have to acce they're gonna be ready for you
to go.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
At the end, it's hard to imagine they were ready
to get rid of d Off for up, but you've
at ready he was gone.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
He was forced to retire, right. People don't like to remember,
but that's true. He was forced to retire. As beloved
as Joe B was, people were ready for him to go.
Eddie and Billy, Tubby, Tubby and Cow. I mean it's
we're we're the best fan base, but Drew, we're also
a harsh one.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
You know.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
I didn't live through most of those. I can only
speak about the recent one. I mean, it's not like
we just made the stuff up out of thin air
because we were tired of it. I mean, he was
not all the way in, it seemed to and then
had the bad losses. So I don't like thinking that
the fan base was ready. I think we would have
been fine with it if it just won some games.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
The hard part about the job is you have to
have early success to have that longevity to begin with, right,
So then once you get there, if you don't maintain
that if there's a drop off from your early success,
the fans are ready to get rid.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Of you with that.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
That's not blame the fans.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Let's blame the records win the game.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I'm in no way blaming the fans. I do think
it is important to understand, though.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Like there's an expectation we every single coach.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
This fan base has been ready to tell BI, every
single one of them except for Rick Mattino, and so
you know, at least you got to know what you're
getting into. I do think I'll remind you of the
comment I had when I talked with Mark Pope. I'm
sitting there talking to him and he's telling me, I
want you to be hard. I want you to come
after me if we lose. I want you to do this,
(31:35):
I want you to do that. And he said, I said, well, listen, man,
you've hit every note right, You're doing great. Fans love you,
And he goes, they ain't gonna love.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Me if I don't win. Right, He's right about that.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I mean, he knew, like he's not under any delusions Ryan,
he knows he has to win.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
He said, how many tell me? Heard him saying he
understands the assignment. He knows exactly what's at stake. You
gotta get w's, you gotta get banners.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yes, if you're a business owner or an HR manager
looking for ways to attract and retain top talent. Kentucky
Chamber of Commerce knows childcare is a large concern. That's
why they've created the Every Childcare Assistance Partnership. Though, I'll
be able to offer your employees access to high quality
childcare and invest in childcare solutions. Learn to go to
ky chamber dot com slash childcare to learn more about
(32:24):
how you can make a difference for you and your company.
We're gonna come back pick Kentucky Tennessee. Hopefully it's a victory.
A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
This is k is.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Working back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Ay fi've nine
two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. A little slow
on the phones today. I think the uh, the same
feeling that Mark Stoops had has to do with the callers.
We have been a little slow getting ready for Kentucky Tennessee.
Maybe though will win either way. I'm just telling you all,
I'm gonna be up at twelve thirty at night Saturday
(32:58):
night doing the Kentucky Tennessee post game show. If we
get blown out, just call and we'll talk to Billy
and I about whatever, because I kind of I'm a
little nervous about that one Billy in the middle of
the night if we lose by fifty or whatever forty
A little worried that'd be like those old Joker Phillips
postgame shows where people just call in and ask me
about their relationships or something like that. We could end
(33:21):
up with one of those. We didn't. Somebody made the point.
The women's team also opens on Monday. Yes, the women's
basketball team plays at five, and then you have at
seven the game the UK men's game, So both of
them are are the same night.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, they're gonna do play. The women are gonna play
My Moral Colseum at five, and then of course the
men at rub ninety eight point five. That's where the
women's game will be if you want to listen on radio,
and then of course on the UK network will be
all the men's game.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
So the women's team, I feel like, did you see
the women sold out their full season tickets this year,
which is the first time in a number of years
they've done that. So Kenny Brook has got the excitement going.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
I love what he said too. He goes, I'm not surprised.
I expected that. That's why I took this job, because
the fan excitement for this program.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
All right, A Caden Lewis makes his decision on Saturday.
The young woman I kept, sorry keep forget her name?
What's the woman at Sacred Heart? The young girl Zach Johnson.
I hear she's probably going to LSU, by the way,
just that's that's not scoop, that's scuttle butt. But that's
kind of where I've heard. Hope I'm wrong, Hope she
ends up going to Kentucky. But you came out and
(34:31):
put the Ryan Lemon scoop seal on A Caden Lewis
to Kentucky Saturday. Are you sticking by it? This is
tomorrow big decision, chance for Poke to get his first
really big top recruit from outside of Kentucky. You think
it happens tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
He is committing to Kentucky tomorrow, And it's not a
coincidence they're doing it tomorrow while the Wilson kid is
visiting Arkansas. That is not a coincidence that is on
purpose to make his announcement, while the Wilson kids making.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
It one of the sort of recruiting insiders. To the
extent those still exist on online. A lot of people,
I think claim to be but art, but a couple
of them have been very adamant that you don't know
what you're talking about, saying Caleb Wilson to Arkansas. They've
they've even gone so far as to say Ryan is
making things up.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
I said, Caleb Wilson's between Arkansas and Kentucky. It's quite
a battle you and c He's in there, but it's
down between Kentucky and Arkansas.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Yesterday you were.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I don't think that's what he said. I think you
said we knew down cleaning Arkansas. So you said the
scuttle boat was that Arkansas was the favorite. Are you
sticking with that?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Yeah, I think at the moment, Arkansas leads. I didn't
say he's gonna commit there yet. I think that it's
a raise. Kentucky is still trying to get him, and
now they think we're getting Lewis tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
That's gonna help because.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
You're saying Louis to Kentucky, lock it up. More than
Nebraska beating in the end. Yes, put it in our parlor.
Were put it in the farlow at the parloy All right,
well we'll see. I hope you're right. That would be
a get. He would have basically ensure Mark Pope a
top five class next year in his first full recruiting class,
which would really be awesome. Who's up next? Jay Rock?
(36:09):
Is up next? Jay Rock? Ahead? Go ahead?
Speaker 6 (36:14):
Hey, what's up y'all?
Speaker 9 (36:15):
Matthew, I just will give you an opportunity a system.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
The phones were dead. Why don't you just ask Jay
Rock a question one time?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
You know what? I well, I don't know that you
have an answer. What's happened to your Louisville Cardinals this year?
You all were supposed to make the playoffs?
Speaker 9 (36:30):
Well, Matt I was raised in a middle class home,
and my mom raised us in a middle class home.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Holl I like that. I'm not gonna lie. So he's
really funny, and he's always tried to take political digs
at me, and I that one I will say. I
will say that was funny. What's next? She does say
that too much? And I like her branding.
Speaker 9 (36:57):
Go ahead, Hey, y'all need to listen. I know I
like y'all Pope predictions and everything, but y'all need to listen. No,
Brandon domas Man. He says that he's gonna be there
at least twelve years. He's gonna be become a doctor
while he's working here. He'll eventually be doctor Mark Pope.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (37:15):
Yeah, Yeah, he's he's gonna complete it, and he's gonna
win multiple championships.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Well, I'd love it. I mean, listen, I'd love for
him to win multiple. It's hard to win a title though,
I mean, Drew, it's hard. You gotta win six games
in a row. Three of them are usually toss up games.
But great, we've had one, two, three, four, five coaches
win a national championship. I think it's a positive to
say he'll be the sixth.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Yeah, I mean I had him here sixteen years and
only winning one title because it's so hard. I just
think they'll be good enough every year that we're still happy,
even though that trophy's hard to grasp.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
What what year do you think will be his first
Final four?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Oh, that's a great question, because you know Tubby won
in his first year, but he had the kind of
the play a lot of the players were already there
waiting for him to take over. If Pope continues to
recruit at this level, if he's getting Jasper Johnson and
he's getting Malachymri know, and he's gonna get Lewis tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
If he continues to cruit this level, I give him
four years.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
You can take four years. So I was gonna say
it's third year. I don't think he makes it this
year and the next year, you know, we're gonna lose
all these players from this year, or most of them.
So I think that third year is the year Drew
he finds the balance and we make a final four run. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
I agree, he's gonna get one within the first four years.
It's just so random predict I mean, I won't count
him out this year. I'm not expecting it, but I
think it won't take long for him to get a
taste of one.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
I like four years as well.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
But let's say he gets two national titles here, you
rank him ahead Caliperry, ahead of Tubby.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Yeahd a. Rick depends on the whole.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
And if he were to get two here, he would
be better than anything we've.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Had the last what's the whole Yukon. Think like Yu
Khan doesn't make a lot of final fours, but when
they do, they win, right, Like you know we had
yu Khan has what five titles? Six having titles that five? Yeah,
they're on like the last Yeah, they have like five titles,
I think, but they've only made like seven final four us.
It's just when they make it, they win it, and
(39:10):
that's that. That's so it all. You know, it just
depends on what your record is in those games. Who's next?
Darryl is next, Darryl? Go ahead, Darryl.
Speaker 7 (39:20):
Okay, thanks for having my call. Just got true voting
to let everybody know where out there it is highly
active at the voting polls for early vote. What real quick?
Speaker 9 (39:32):

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Henderson?
Speaker 7 (39:36):

a football note, Matt, I think you're right. I think
tomorrow is broout City and your post game show you're
gonna have to find a way to get through it because.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
We're gonna have to talk about something fun because I'm
worried about it. I'm not gonna lie to you to

seven forty five, Shannon, give me the score in your MVP.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
I think Kentucky actually not only hangs with Tennessee in
the first half. I think we're going to halftime Kentucky's
winning the game, but I think really, but I think
that at the end of the game, unfortunately, I think
it's gonna unravel and fall apart for us. So I'm
gonna go Tennessee thirty one Kentucky twenty, and I'm gonna
say will Cox is gonna be the MVP.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Willcox Okay, uh Ryan.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
I don't know Kentucky can get it in the end zone,
but I think they'll kick a couple of field goals that.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Have to miss.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Wow, I do think they cover, So I'll say twenty
four to nine.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Twenty four field goals. Okay, twenty four to nine. Who's
your MVP? Not dank Key.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
I can't pick Dankey looks like Alex Rayner. The three
field goals is the MVP.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Alex Rayder. Right, I'll go next. I'll say Kentucky Tennessee
twenty seven, Kentucky ten, And I'm gonna go do miss
Johnson again again. I'm gonna try to get him to
try to get him to finally win one. Twenty seven
(41:35):
to ten, Drew, I'll let you finish. What do you got?
Speaker 4 (41:37):
Well, I've already written my prediction for the website, and
you all it's like you read it. I had twenty
seven to nine. I think Alex Rayder gets three field goals.
We keep Tennessee out of the end zone for a half,
but they pull away in the second half to cover
that spread by about half a point.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
I will say this, I think tomorrow win or lose.
If we're talking about Mark Stoops in his future and
kind of whether he's gonna stay, they can't go lay
an egg. They can't come out there and just get
absolutely pumbled. If they do, I think it's gonna be
hard to keep this fan base ingay. I'll be honest
(42:11):
with you, if they get pounded tomorrow, this fan base
is just moving on from football. They'll come back to
watch the Louisville game, but there's so much exciting with
Mark Pope first basketball game Monday. If this football team
is gonna make people still care, they got to show
up tomorrow, and whether they do will ultimately be up
to them. Thank you folks here at Wild Eggs, we
(42:33):
appreciate it very much. Our pregame show tomorrow is at
four point thirty, just one hour tomorrow, and then a
big day on Monday. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio.
Come watch the game tomorrow at tomorrow

some good food. This is breakfast lasagna. This is what
(01:20):
has been his favorite potato head cast role. They got
tots ruben. This is some great looking food out here.
I don't know how we're gonna eat it all, but
we're gonna try sh in it.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
We just have to. It's we just have to look
at it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Now.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
We can't eat and talk at the same time, so
we just stare at it.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
We might, we might if it if it stays out here.
If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,
couple open lines, so give us a shout. Let's go
over a couple of things here, Ryan, before we get
back to the uh uh. To the phone yesterday, the
coaches yelling conversation. I was getting messages all day. First
of all, it was nice to see I have more
(01:57):
support from the coaches. Act like lunatics thing. Usually that's
a Usually I give that an opinion and that's unpopular
and people go, Matt, people need to toughen up. Kids.
In my day would would go and you could punch
them right in the face and they'd be fine with it.
And people say that, and I actually get it. Feels
like every year I get more and more people on
my side on the coaches should stop acting like, uh
(02:18):
like lunatics. Here's what I didn't realize. The lind Camp
story has gotten a lot of attention. But there are
these stories everywhere, Like I think parents maybe or kids
are more like, hey, stop yelling at us. People send
me stories all over the place of this happening. I
don't know why the lind Camp one went so viral,
but apparently there are a lot of others.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I don't know if you listen to. But I grew
up around coaches.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I've heard that.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
My dad was a high school career and I had
some lot of coaches. Yesterday said this in this instant
just from the video. He said, the one thing that
crossed the line.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
No, there was there was, there was a line.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And he said the one word too many times he
goes usually.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So how many times is enough? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I don't know, but he said the fact he kept
saying over and over every other word, and he said
that one phrase.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, that one phrase, which didn't make the video that's
gone viral. You might watch and go, well, that was
a lot of times to say that word, but it
doesn't seem that bad. There's another part of it where
he says something that's a blank to a blank that's
a little bit more, and I think that was probably
a big part of it too.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I think that's the one that got him. And also
just not saying they should do it or shouldn't do it.
But if you got forty kids on your football team
in your locker room, you got forty potential cameras looking
at you, and his stuff is just gonna get out
more and more if it's going on, and it.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Now holds coaches accountable, right that everybody's got the ability
to pulo out a phone and video whatever's going on.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You think they'll come a time. I mean, like Mark
Pope is not really a yeller. But you may remember, well,
is it twenty fourteen or ting on? It was like
twenty twelve, twenty thirteen when John Caliperry there was that
close up video of him calling Terrence Jones. Yes, Do
you remember that it became a big or what do
you think that would be thought of? Different. That was
(04:02):
what twenty twelve? Do you think that would be thought
of differently now twelve years later? Ryan?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Probably a little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I mean he got up in his thing and said
you stupid blankety blink.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I think it probably would carry a little more weight
in today's world, to today's society than it did in
twenty twelve.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
At college though, is it different though than high school?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Well? I think it is different. I think it's certainly different.
The question is how different is it? Right if we
walk in.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
At halftime of a UK football game. Oh, I bet
Kentucky's getting their butt camp. I'm sure there's a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Of that going on. But I think that it would
just be interesting. I let's say that Mark stoops or
just pick your coach, that their halftime speech was recorded.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Oh, there'd be a lot of people upset. But the
pig in the locker room don't care.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah. Max Duffey on the pregame, Well, I mean you
say they don't care, but do we know they don't
care or they just say they don't care, Like.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I mean halftime of an SEC football game. Those people
don't care that he's cussing. They're probably cussing with it.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I don't know, depends on what he's saying and with
a video, Yeah, there's a difference to me. Okay, so
that Lynn Camp coach, well, I still don't think he
should have said that he wasn't calling his players' names.
To me, that's different than getting in a kid's face
and saying you blankety blank blankety blank blankety blank. I
think that that, to me is much worse. Actually, yeah,
(05:27):
this thing with Kala we're talking about in twenty ten,
I he was a one line but like that kind
of thing, I think would be a.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Lot harder it would. It'd be on PTI.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, it was then be debated on all the sports
talk shows and everything. And the thing about this this
dude at Lynn Camp, the coach brought this up. He goes,
that wasn't the first time that the of course.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Not already he knew it was coming.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I mean, if it happened, if you say it that
many times, then you say it a lot. I mean,
I think that's uh, that's probably true. I also read
an interesting story Drew that's in The Athletic today, which
is about the college football playoff. So the college football playoff,
I just found that like logistics as somebody who puts
on events, I think the difference between a successful event
(06:10):
and an unsuccessful event is often logistics, Right, we talk
about that. I think like with the Blue White Game,
like it was like sixty percent good, but there were
some logistics that needed to be worked on. So think
about the college football Playoff. They're having to put the
logistics on of planning a game which could be at
(06:30):
a million different stadiums, and you don't know where it's
going to be, and so how do you prepare? So
I read this article the college Football Playoff. People they
went to ninemy colleges that they thought might in theory
have to host a game, basically all the power schools
and the secondary schools that in theory could do it.
(06:54):
So they last summer, Drew had to book a block
of hotel rooms in all of those cities, including Lexington,
right enough for a team media like two hundred and
fifty rooms for the other team. So in every city
in college football they had to book those rooms. Then
(07:16):
as the season's gone on and teams have gotten eliminated,
they have called and canceled. So at some point they
called some hotel here in Lexington and canceled a block
of rooms. But there's a lot more to it than that.
Most schools, the students are out of school that weekend,
(07:38):
So at like Alabama and Georgia, they save like twenty
thousand seats for students, but they don't know if twenty
thousand students are gonna come yeah, and they don't know
whether to save them twenty thousand tickets or not. Now,
we're used to in pro sports, teams make you buy
your playoff tickets two or three months ahead even if
(07:59):
you don't go, But in college they've never done that.
So colleges are sitting here and decide thinking, should we
offer our season ticket holders the tickets? Now? Does that
make us look presumptuous? Does that make us look like
we don't think we're gonna win our conference? Because if
we win our conference, we don't have to host a
game then. And this is the one that the NCAA
(08:21):
or the College Football Playoffs says they're the most worried about.
How do you get to the people to work in
the stadium. Those are part time jobs. You're not gonna
know until two weeks before the game whether or not
you have a game. Those people, by their very nature
may have booked other work that day.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, probably a lot of them did, and a.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Lot they said, a lot of these schools are worried
about they need maybe two thousand employees, and they're like,
what if we can't get two thousand employees to come
work the day of the game, And even if we can,
we might have to use people that have never worked
in the stadium before. So like, you don't think about
those logistics. But the guy that they interviewed was like,
(09:06):
I'm up at night every night worried about the logistics
for these four home games. That's interesting.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
We think about how exciting it's gonna be to have
these on a home campus, but they've never had to
host something like this before at those times, And depending
on the school, could be a small town that's gonna
be taken on.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
You mentioned the media.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I want to add that could be a huge group
depending on the game, not your true teams.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And normally for a regular home game in Lexington, Kentucky
has six months to prepare for it. They're gonna have
two weeks to prepare for it. And unlike the NCAA tournament,
where you know the site's years in advance, they don't.
They will not know until two weeks before whether or
not they're gonna have one hundred thousand people show up
(09:49):
in their city on a given day.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
You don't think about things like that.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You don't. But isn't that interesting?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Very like the employees you said, these part time employees,
they are, they're not gonna wait around.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
They got other jobs. They're gonna go ahead and take
something else.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
That's what they said. So like, for instance, they interviewed
the guy at Georgia. He said, we have to make
a decision, go ahead and hire these people for an
event that might not happen, might not even happen or not,
and have to train two thousand new people for a
(10:23):
game because they may have booked work to do something else.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
If you're one of the top teams, I think you
can go ahead and just go ahead and book everything, right.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But no, you can't because okay, let's say you're let's
just say you're Texas A and M. If you're Texas
A and M and you make the SEC Championship game
and win, yeah you're not gonna host a game. You
skip that round. But if you make the SEC Championship
game and lose, you're probably gonna be hosting a playoff game, that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You really got a big challenge and a big challenge.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
And then they said, if we don't offer it to
our season ticket holders in advance, if we wait till
the day of and sell it, what's to keep the
other team from coming and buying all our tickets. It's true,
so actually just an interesting thing. I hadn't really thought
about the about the mouth.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Said about the students. I han't thought about that they're
not even going to be around.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
They said, they have no idea what to do about
the students. Do we give these students tickets? Do we
not give them tickets? What if we give them twenty
thousand tickets and everybody goes home and only five thousand
people come, don't show up? No, who's up next? Jason
is up next? Jason? Go ahead, Jason.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Hey, maybe Bob Costas could fill in from one of
those jobs. That'd be good.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Well, Shannon doesn't think you can do any.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Of it, No list to do it. In silence.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
I know, wow, I.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
That there's no way you can. There's no way you
can experience sports in the last forty years without thinking
about Bob Costas. But I thought I would give you
guys a challenge. How about the Mount Rushmore of broadcasters
as a good discussion.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, I mean there's many different generations, so like, I mean,
I don't remember guys from you know, the thirties and forties.
So Lebryan, let's just do this, like, let's just do
our lifetime, our lifetime. The four biggest sports announcers of
our lifetime. I'm just gonna go off the top of
my head. John Madden, for me, is probably gonna be
(12:22):
in that list, just because when I think NFL, I
think of John Madden. I mean, if you just look
at how many sports he does, big events, don't you
have to throw Joe Buck in there just because he
does the biggest baseball And I don't even like the
guy really, but he does the biggest baseball, he does
the biggest football. What else? Well, for me in the seventies,
(12:45):
it was Howard Cosell, But that's not really I mean,
That's why I'm saying our lifetime, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
What is my lifetime? He's a little older.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Okay, well I met the show with general. But okay,
if you want to make it just yours, that's fine,
I'll do it.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Howard Cosell, Obcostas, Vin Scully, then Scully's good and the
fourth one. I'm kind of torn.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
It was a pretty old guys.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Well they're the legends. Yeah, you gotta be old to
be a legend.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I turned on TV now and the guy who's doing
play by play, I've never heard of this guy before
in my life.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Most of the time. Yeah, I mean, I think you're right.
It is tougher now. There are very few guys who
do multiple sports like they did when we were a kid,
like people tend to like. I turned on the Celtics
and Pacers. I don't know if you heard this two
nights ago, and Jay Billis was calling the game, and
it threw me off. I'm like, what are you doing? Like, Jay,
this is this is this is NBA. You're a college guy.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I still have that with Kirk doing NFL.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Now, Yeah, Kirk Herbstreet, would you put Dick vitew I.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Was about to say that.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
I know it's just college basketball, but when you think
college basketball announcers, you think Dick Vitel.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I think Dick Vitale has got to be I mean,
who's done it longer than him.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
He's got to be in the conversation because they're for
a stretch about ten years, every big game by Towel
was there calling the game.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
That's a good question, sir. I appreciate the call. I'm
kind of with you, though, Bob cost has got to
be on the list. I don't care what Sha said.
I feel like he's got to be on the list
somewhere right.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
He doesn't get him out, he gets a little hill
about five too.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Loo's up next? Tom is up next? Tom? Go ahead, Tom?
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Okay, mattuh I got two like Madison, I got two things.
One i'd like to ask you about, uh, your your
view on the electoral college. I want to elaborate on
that after I get off the phone.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
I want to hear your take on just asked me
that during the break, Okay.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
And the other thing I want to mention is, I
think a lot of coaches back when I played was
in high school football, a lot of our coaches, many
of them came out of the military, and they saw
how effective that was in the military. You know, we
probably have the best military on earth, and that's the
way they're treated as in fees.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Okay, that's probably a really good point that they they
used that military training and thought, that's how you coach.
I think that's a good point.
Speaker 8 (15:10):
And other than that, that's it.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, I consider the military a little different, Like I
feel like the military gets a little more leeway to
do what they need to do. Like I don't what
I feel. I appreciate the call what I feel about coaches,
I don't feel about the military. My quick take on
the electoral college because Basher said it should go away. Uh.
I used to believe that the electoral college was a
(15:34):
decent idea because the idea was it makes all the
states important, and in theory, I think that could be true.
But here's the problem. Forty five of the states are
already decided every election. Kentucky doesn't matter, California doesn't matter,
Alabama doesn't matter. It seems a little weird to me
(15:54):
that the same four states decide who our president is
every year. Seems a little weird than a this big Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
and Georgia are basically going to decide who our president
is for the next twenty years. That just doesn't seem
right to me. I feel like if everybody, if it
was equal, candidates would have an incentive to go to Kentucky,
(16:16):
in California and New York, and people say, well, they'll
only go to the big states. I actually don't know
if that's true. I think they'll go where their people are, right,
They'll go where they're where their people are. What I'd
like to see happen sometime is for the Republicans to
win the popular vote and Democrats to win the electoral
College so that we could all unite and say maybe
we ought to do something different, because I just feel like,
(16:38):
you know, I heard the Prime Minister of France or
whatever he goes, the security of France can't come down
to what the people of Wisconsin think every four years,
and I was like, well, if I was in France,
I would certainly think that. But it also seems weird
to me that Harrison Trump only visit Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Feels like that's not how it should be.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's just my And you know, that was quite a
patriotic little speel you did right there. Maybe you want
to stand up and sing God you are standing up.
I want to sing God bless America.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Ahead, feel free, go ahead, Okay, all right, let's go.
Let's take a break and be right back. The scars
are welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. By the way,
my scenario I mentioned before the break where I could
see a world where Trump won the popular vote and
lost the electoral College this year, that actually could happen.
(17:29):
I don't think it will. I think it's more likely
to be the other way around. But it could, and
then maybe that would change people's mind.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Did what happened with Hillary and Trump?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
A couple Hillary wonts have won the popular vote like
every election except four since like ninety two, so but
I don't think that will necessarily always be the case.
A five nine, two, eight, oh, twenty two eighty seven.
Here's some people we missed. Jim Nance, how do we
miss that one? How do we miss that one?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
For sure?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Al Michaels going yeah, uh, Keith Jackson, Keith Jackson, I
like a lot of people giving the shout out to
Vern Lundquist.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I thought about Vern. I didn't say him, but I
was thinking about that.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Al Michaels and Jim Nance are two that like, if
you're talking just about our lifetimes, Ryan, those are two
pretty good ones.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
That's all I'm going going. Howard Cosell, Bob Costa is
Jim Nance and Al Michaels. I'm bumping Vin Scully one.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
That's no but a little under the radar. But we
used to see him all the way all the time
at Keenland. Drew dick Enburg. Oh yeah, we ran into
Dickenburgh over there. We used to see him, used to
be on everything, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Patty mentioned Tom Hammond.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
He's from Hammon right here in Lexington. Yeah, he did
all he would do, a ton of stuff. Uh a
f nine twenty two eighty seven. Tell me about Stockton Morton.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Oh, here we go, Stockton Mortgan.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
You know there's a lot of lunatics that we're running
around last night scaring kids. But your home buying season
doesn't have to be scary, matter of.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Fact, just as a chat transition.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Well, well then I can think of real quick. Jad
said his experience was doctor Mortgage.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Everyone tells you all the horror stories of buying a
home for the first time.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That couldn't be further from the truth. Changed doctor Mortgage.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
He's a home buyer and he got he didn't get
scared by some lunatic running around with a mask on
last night. So he bought a house and had a
great experience doctor Morgan, He says, truly has gone above
and beyond to make the process as easy and as
efforless as possible.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Let them show you just how real professionals do it.
Stocktor Mortgage and MLS eight two five nine equal healsing Lender.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
All right, I have a question for you guys. Somebody
asked me this a couple of days ago, and we
haven't gotten to it yet. Mark Pope. All right, two questions.
Question One, give me the number of years he will
be the coach at the University of Kentucky, and it
can be for whatever reason you think. How many years
(19:43):
does Mark Poach Pope coach at Kentucky?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Ryan lenvon Gosh Kyle was here fourteen, so I'll say fifteen.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Wow, that would make him the second longest tenured coach
in the history of the school.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Fifteen fifteen?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
All right, well, all these daughters are married and have kids,
and he wants to be grandpa.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
He'll ride it out.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Fifteen Why does he have to wait thiose daughters get
married to.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Be they're gonna have kids, you know, get married, have.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
To be able to be a grandpa. Okay, all right,
what's already married? Fifteen years?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
From now.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
That's that's on down the road. I'm going sixteen though,
I think it's gonna work. Where else is he gonna go?
If it's working, he loves it here. It's not like
another job's gonna call him pull him away. So as
long as he's successful, and I believe he will be,
I think he'll have a good run here.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Long run.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
These are two lot of long numbers.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
No, that is a good point because this is his
dream job at Kentucky. So I don't think that he
would leave to go to another school.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
How old is he? He's forty's fifties, low fifties. Okay,
I'm going to give him ten years.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
I think he has some good seasons, maybe hit some
bumps in the road. I mean we've seen this with
past coaches, you know, even Tubby he won a national championship. Eventually,
uh just kind of trend it down. So I think
eventually he'll be probably let go.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Ten years. That was a good run though, right, eventually
ten years a good run.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah, I was. I mean that's exactly the number I
was gonna say. It's ten. I mean, I just think
this is a job that it just wears on you.
Wouldn't wear or the other like I think, you know,
Cal stayed what four years too long? And so that
was ten. You go back to Joeby Hall, there'll be
people who say, probably stayed one or two years too long,
(21:23):
that was ten? Right, Patino was here what nine? Tubby
was here ten. I mean that's I think that's kind
of the I think that's kind of the frame is like,
it's a ten year job. So I'm gonna say I
was gonna say ten. But that's a guess. But you
are right, this is his dream job in a way,
(21:44):
maybe for some of those other coaches that wasn't.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Do you think, let's say he has a great ten years,
do you think he would leave to go to the
NBA like Patino.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I don't think he would either.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
So that means he would either have to retire on
his own, which I feel like he's got more than
ten years in him, or he would be fired.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, there's three different someone would leave this job, Ryan
get fired, go to another one, or retire. I don't
think he's going to another one. Do you agree with that?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
I don't think he'll go to another one.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I think he'll run it out, have a great success
here and then after fifteen years of coaching, I think
he'll go into like the athletic administration.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
He's fifty fifty years old. He's a little over fifty
fifty one.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Patty thought maybe fifty ten. I'm going we can look
it up.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
So let's say there is the right answer to this,
so he's fifty one or fifty two. I also think,
you know, with the money these guys make, now, it's
a lot of money coaching at these schools, you don't
need to coach until you're seventy five years old like
people maybe did before. Who's up next? Got Jacob Dex Jake,
I got thirty seconds, go for it?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Okay, where would you place the Where would you place
Marty Brenneman.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
In your in your Mount Rushmore? People love people love
him locally, but I don't know that he would be
known nationally, but locally he would I mean he would serve.

the top four. But locally for sure, Thank you. There
you go, Jake there. You never know what Jake's gonna say.
We'll take a break. If I'm nine tighty sevens kso
(23:23):

place here in Hamburg. Got one up there close to
KS Bar, speaking a ksbar. We will have the game,

Kentucky Tennessee at night. Just some for some planning in
(23:47):

to Mark Pope's first regular season game. And remember, put
on your calendars. We're having our Kentucky Basketball Pope Era
party for Kentucky and Duke on November twelfth. We're all
gonna be there watching the game. Might even commit Shannon
to drive up uh for a big the big opener
(24:10):
on the twelfth.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Big big party night tip off not toil what nine thirty.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh yeah, you're it's gonna be late, so you can uh,
but you can come and join. Well, it'll be a
good way to to kick off the season. Eight fi
nine to two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Let's
do our draft Kings KSR parlay. We are three of five,
we've won three to the last five weeks. If you've
been backing with us this, you have made a lot
of money. Same rules. You got to pick a seven
(24:35):
point favorite or less to win. Also can pick an underdog.
I'm going first. I've had a lot of success making
this team. By lock of the week. Nebraska, that's what
I was looking at.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Boy boy, no, I was looking at.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I got. This one's a good, This one's a lot.
Nebraska is at home seven point favorite to u C.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
L A.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
They are not losing to UCLA, who's terrible at home.
I feel very good about this one. Not gonna put
the lock status on it, but I will make my
pick for the parlay. Uh, Nebraska, what about you?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Somehow Minnesota is a three point favorite at Illinois.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
That was gonna be my other one. I don't understand
how that is.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
So I'm taking the Illinois plus three.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
So Illinois. Yeah, so you're taking ill So we got
Illinois plus three. But again, this is they gotta win.
That was the one I was gonna pick.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Actually, that's my pick. Let's do it Illinois. No, he
already did it know I'm saying, but that was gonna
be mine.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I love it, So I like that one too.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
So now I got a backup.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
I'm good. What is yours?
Speaker 4 (25:34):
We just talked about him. A and M has to
win out to achieve their dreams. They've been special. They're
at South Carolina. I think it's a three point spread.
A and M's favorite, but they're gonna win that one.
South Carolina has struggled with teams that run the ball.
Old miss killed them that way. A and M's just
gonna run all over South Carolina'll be a little bit close.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
But A and M will win it. I'm nervous about
that one, but I'm alright with it. All right. So
A and M Illinois, Nebraska and Shannon.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
We were talking how we're gonna get our fourth We
were talking during the break.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I really wanted to pick Vandy, but you guys kind
of poop poo with that idea. They're a seven and
a half point dog at all A lot. How do
you guys feel about Ohio State beating Penn State. I
feel good about Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
James Franklin rarely wins a big one.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, he's not gonna win this one. I think we're state.
I'm I'm taking Ohio State on the road.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
All right. There, he goes, who got Ohio State, Illinois, Nebraska,
and A and M. Three big ten games are part
of the KSR parlay. We'll get it up this afternoon
and join us. We just keep winning. So if you're
not playing, that's on you. All right. My second part
of my Mark Pope question, I just asked you how
long he'd be here? You you and I said ten years. Yep,
(26:40):
you said fifteen. You said sixteen?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Getting crazy?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I know what's how many? How many A national championships?
I knew it, B final fours, C SEC titles? All right, Shannon,
You've got him here ten years? Yeah, so in ten years,
what's it gonna be.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I feel like, first of all, Mark Pope is gonna
put a big emphasis on winning SEC titles.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
We're talking about regular season.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Titles or regular season titles. I'm gonna say he gets four,
four out of ten, four out of ten, Okay, I
feel like that's a pretty good percentage.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Final fours. I'm gonna go three, three, okay, National title one?
All right? Let me go, since I also have tenures, O,
every coach that stays here ten years wins a title.
So I'm gonna say one national championship You and I
are very similar on this. I'm gonna say three final
fours in ten years, wanna say four? Gonna say three,
(27:38):
and I'm gonna say four. I have the exact same
answers you do. Four SEC regular season championships, and I
think he's gonna put a huge emphasis on the SEC
tournament because he knows how much it means to us.
So I'm gonna say five SEC turnaments. I think we
win one out of two SEC tournaments during the Mark
Pope era, maybe not this year, but that starts next year. Uh,
(28:02):
you said fifteen years, Ryan, what's he doing fifteen years?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I was gonna go five SEC championships in in fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
So he wins one out of three SEC league.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Titles because even like you said, he's gonna put more
emphasis on it, the other teams in the SEC are
a lot better than in recent years.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I'll go five final fours. I'm gonna go four, four
and fifteen years years. But national times, I'm just gonna
say one.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I mean, so you think he's here fifteen years and
wins one and everybody's cool.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I mean, Cal just won one, Tubby, just one.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
One, and then we ran him off yep. Said yeah,
well just for just for the record, Cal Tubby Joe
b all won one title, so by the end they
pretty much won all of them to go.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I'm just I'm saying one, all right, one, all right?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
What about you?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
That's good company. By the way, too, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Mean it's good company. But remember we're fickle. By the
end of those runs. Was ready for all those guys
still gotta win at the.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
End of the day.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
With the longest tenure, I still only have one title.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
But I'm just say.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Four final fours, five SEC regular season and seven SEC tournaments. Okay,
because of the advantage Kentucky gets in that tournament, he'll
win more of those than regular So we all have
a similar general view.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Here's what's interesting about the job. This really just occurred
to me. I want you to think about the Kentucky
basketball job historically. Go back to rup. You could make
a strong argument that Rick Patino is the only dude
that Kentucky fans weren't ready to go at the end,
(29:41):
which is kind of amazing. Yeah, pretty much every coach
we had we were kind of ready to get out,
except Rick Patino.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
He left before he could wear out us. Welcome.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah, so you do. It does make you think that, like,
this is a job that when you get there, you
almost have to acce they're gonna be ready for you
to go.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
At the end, it's hard to imagine they were ready
to get rid of d Off for up, but you've
at ready he was gone.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
He was forced to retire, right. People don't like to remember,
but that's true. He was forced to retire. As beloved
as Joe B was, people were ready for him to go.
Eddie and Billy, Tubby, Tubby and Cow. I mean it's
we're we're the best fan base, but Drew, we're also
a harsh one.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
You know.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
I didn't live through most of those. I can only
speak about the recent one. I mean, it's not like
we just made the stuff up out of thin air
because we were tired of it. I mean, he was
not all the way in, it seemed to and then
had the bad losses. So I don't like thinking that
the fan base was ready. I think we would have
been fine with it if it just won some games.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
The hard part about the job is you have to
have early success to have that longevity to begin with, right,
So then once you get there, if you don't maintain
that if there's a drop off from your early success,
the fans are ready to get rid.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Of you with that.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
That's not blame the fans.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Let's blame the records win the game.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I'm in no way blaming the fans. I do think
it is important to understand, though.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Like there's an expectation we every single coach.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
This fan base has been ready to tell BI, every
single one of them except for Rick Mattino, and so
you know, at least you got to know what you're
getting into. I do think I'll remind you of the
comment I had when I talked with Mark Pope. I'm
sitting there talking to him and he's telling me, I
want you to be hard. I want you to come
after me if we lose. I want you to do this,
(31:35):
I want you to do that. And he said, I said, well, listen, man,
you've hit every note right, You're doing great. Fans love you,
And he goes, they ain't gonna love.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Me if I don't win. Right, He's right about that.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I mean, he knew, like he's not under any delusions Ryan,
he knows he has to win.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
He said, how many tell me? Heard him saying he
understands the assignment. He knows exactly what's at stake. You
gotta get w's, you gotta get banners.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yes, if you're a business owner or an HR manager
looking for ways to attract and retain top talent. Kentucky
Chamber of Commerce knows childcare is a large concern. That's
why they've created the Every Childcare Assistance Partnership. Though, I'll
be able to offer your employees access to high quality
childcare and invest in childcare solutions. Learn to go to
ky chamber dot com slash childcare to learn more about
(32:24):
how you can make a difference for you and your company.
We're gonna come back pick Kentucky Tennessee. Hopefully it's a victory.
A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
This is k is.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Working back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Ay fi've nine
two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. A little slow
on the phones today. I think the uh, the same
feeling that Mark Stoops had has to do with the callers.
We have been a little slow getting ready for Kentucky Tennessee.
Maybe though will win either way. I'm just telling you all,
I'm gonna be up at twelve thirty at night Saturday
(32:58):
night doing the Kentucky Tennessee post game show. If we
get blown out, just call and we'll talk to Billy
and I about whatever, because I kind of I'm a
little nervous about that one Billy in the middle of
the night if we lose by fifty or whatever forty
A little worried that'd be like those old Joker Phillips
postgame shows where people just call in and ask me
about their relationships or something like that. We could end
(33:21):
up with one of those. We didn't. Somebody made the point.
The women's team also opens on Monday. Yes, the women's
basketball team plays at five, and then you have at
seven the game the UK men's game, So both of
them are are the same night.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, they're gonna do play. The women are gonna play
My Moral Colseum at five, and then of course the
men at rub ninety eight point five. That's where the
women's game will be if you want to listen on radio,
and then of course on the UK network will be
all the men's game.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
So the women's team, I feel like, did you see
the women sold out their full season tickets this year,
which is the first time in a number of years
they've done that. So Kenny Brook has got the excitement going.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
I love what he said too. He goes, I'm not surprised.
I expected that. That's why I took this job, because
the fan excitement for this program.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
All right, A Caden Lewis makes his decision on Saturday.
The young woman I kept, sorry keep forget her name?
What's the woman at Sacred Heart? The young girl Zach Johnson.
I hear she's probably going to LSU, by the way,
just that's that's not scoop, that's scuttle butt. But that's
kind of where I've heard. Hope I'm wrong, Hope she
ends up going to Kentucky. But you came out and
(34:31):
put the Ryan Lemon scoop seal on A Caden Lewis
to Kentucky Saturday. Are you sticking by it? This is
tomorrow big decision, chance for Poke to get his first
really big top recruit from outside of Kentucky. You think
it happens tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
He is committing to Kentucky tomorrow, And it's not a
coincidence they're doing it tomorrow while the Wilson kid is
visiting Arkansas. That is not a coincidence that is on
purpose to make his announcement, while the Wilson kids making.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
It one of the sort of recruiting insiders. To the
extent those still exist on online. A lot of people,
I think claim to be but art, but a couple
of them have been very adamant that you don't know
what you're talking about, saying Caleb Wilson to Arkansas. They've
they've even gone so far as to say Ryan is
making things up.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
I said, Caleb Wilson's between Arkansas and Kentucky. It's quite
a battle you and c He's in there, but it's
down between Kentucky and Arkansas.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Yesterday you were.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I don't think that's what he said. I think you
said we knew down cleaning Arkansas. So you said the
scuttle boat was that Arkansas was the favorite. Are you
sticking with that?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Yeah, I think at the moment, Arkansas leads. I didn't
say he's gonna commit there yet. I think that it's
a raise. Kentucky is still trying to get him, and
now they think we're getting Lewis tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
That's gonna help because.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
You're saying Louis to Kentucky, lock it up. More than
Nebraska beating in the end. Yes, put it in our parlor.
Were put it in the farlow at the parloy All right,
well we'll see. I hope you're right. That would be
a get. He would have basically ensure Mark Pope a
top five class next year in his first full recruiting class,
which would really be awesome. Who's up next? Jay Rock?
(36:09):
Is up next? Jay Rock? Ahead? Go ahead?
Speaker 6 (36:14):
Hey, what's up y'all?
Speaker 9 (36:15):
Matthew, I just will give you an opportunity a system.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
The phones were dead. Why don't you just ask Jay
Rock a question one time?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
You know what? I well, I don't know that you
have an answer. What's happened to your Louisville Cardinals this year?
You all were supposed to make the playoffs?
Speaker 9 (36:30):
Well, Matt I was raised in a middle class home,
and my mom raised us in a middle class home.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Holl I like that. I'm not gonna lie. So he's
really funny, and he's always tried to take political digs
at me, and I that one I will say. I
will say that was funny. What's next? She does say
that too much? And I like her branding.
Speaker 9 (36:57):
Go ahead, Hey, y'all need to listen. I know I
like y'all Pope predictions and everything, but y'all need to listen. No,
Brandon domas Man. He says that he's gonna be there
at least twelve years. He's gonna be become a doctor
while he's working here. He'll eventually be doctor Mark Pope.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (37:15):
Yeah, Yeah, he's he's gonna complete it, and he's gonna
win multiple championships.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Well, I'd love it. I mean, listen, I'd love for
him to win multiple. It's hard to win a title though,
I mean, Drew, it's hard. You gotta win six games
in a row. Three of them are usually toss up games.
But great, we've had one, two, three, four, five coaches
win a national championship. I think it's a positive to
say he'll be the sixth.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Yeah, I mean I had him here sixteen years and
only winning one title because it's so hard. I just
think they'll be good enough every year that we're still happy,
even though that trophy's hard to grasp.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
What what year do you think will be his first
Final four?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Oh, that's a great question, because you know Tubby won
in his first year, but he had the kind of
the play a lot of the players were already there
waiting for him to take over. If Pope continues to
recruit at this level, if he's getting Jasper Johnson and
he's getting Malachymri know, and he's gonna get Lewis tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
If he continues to cruit this level, I give him
four years.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
You can take four years. So I was gonna say
it's third year. I don't think he makes it this
year and the next year, you know, we're gonna lose
all these players from this year, or most of them.
So I think that third year is the year Drew
he finds the balance and we make a final four run. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
I agree, he's gonna get one within the first four years.
It's just so random predict I mean, I won't count
him out this year. I'm not expecting it, but I
think it won't take long for him to get a
taste of one.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
I like four years as well.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
But let's say he gets two national titles here, you
rank him ahead Caliperry, ahead of Tubby.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Yeahd a. Rick depends on the whole.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
And if he were to get two here, he would
be better than anything we've.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Had the last what's the whole Yukon. Think like Yu
Khan doesn't make a lot of final fours, but when
they do, they win, right, Like you know we had
yu Khan has what five titles? Six having titles that five? Yeah,
they're on like the last Yeah, they have like five titles,
I think, but they've only made like seven final four us.
It's just when they make it, they win it, and
(39:10):
that's that. That's so it all. You know, it just
depends on what your record is in those games. Who's next?
Darryl is next, Darryl? Go ahead, Darryl.
Speaker 7 (39:20):
Okay, thanks for having my call. Just got true voting
to let everybody know where out there it is highly
active at the voting polls for early vote. What real quick?
Speaker 9 (39:32):
What city are you Henderson?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Henderson?
Speaker 7 (39:36):
Yeah, yes, sir, And it has been very busy. On
a football note, Matt, I think you're right. I think
tomorrow is broout City and your post game show you're
gonna have to find a way to get through it because.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
We're gonna have to talk about something fun because I'm
worried about it. I'm not gonna lie to you to
thank you. That's I know you will. I appreciate cornbredthimp
dot com. If you like to rest and relax, we'll
get an extra hour sleep. Yeah, this weekend. We fall
back this weekend, so put your you just boot it.
Who hates an extra hour sleep? Go to cornbredthimp dot
(40:12):
com full spectrum flour only Hemp, CBD fallbacks my favorite
time of the year. Use cornbread himp. It'll be even better.
Promo code KSR it is cornbread Hemp Cats in Tennessee
seven forty five, Shannon, give me the score in your MVP.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
I think Kentucky actually not only hangs with Tennessee in
the first half. I think we're going to halftime Kentucky's
winning the game, but I think really, but I think
that at the end of the game, unfortunately, I think
it's gonna unravel and fall apart for us. So I'm
gonna go Tennessee thirty one Kentucky twenty, and I'm gonna
say will Cox is gonna be the MVP.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Willcox Okay, uh Ryan.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
I don't know Kentucky can get it in the end zone,
but I think they'll kick a couple of field goals that.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Have to miss.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Wow, I do think they cover, So I'll say twenty
four to nine.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Twenty four field goals. Okay, twenty four to nine. Who's
your MVP? Not dank Key.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
I can't pick Dankey looks like Alex Rayner. The three
field goals is the MVP.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Alex Rayder. Right, I'll go next. I'll say Kentucky Tennessee
twenty seven, Kentucky ten, And I'm gonna go do miss
Johnson again again. I'm gonna try to get him to
try to get him to finally win one. Twenty seven
(41:35):
to ten, Drew, I'll let you finish. What do you got?
Speaker 4 (41:37):
Well, I've already written my prediction for the website, and
you all it's like you read it. I had twenty
seven to nine. I think Alex Rayder gets three field goals.
We keep Tennessee out of the end zone for a half,
but they pull away in the second half to cover
that spread by about half a point.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
I will say this, I think tomorrow win or lose.
If we're talking about Mark Stoops in his future and
kind of whether he's gonna stay, they can't go lay
an egg. They can't come out there and just get
absolutely pumbled. If they do, I think it's gonna be
hard to keep this fan base ingay. I'll be honest
(42:11):
with you, if they get pounded tomorrow, this fan base
is just moving on from football. They'll come back to
watch the Louisville game, but there's so much exciting with
Mark Pope first basketball game Monday. If this football team
is gonna make people still care, they got to show
up tomorrow, and whether they do will ultimately be up
to them. Thank you folks here at Wild Eggs, we
(42:33):
appreciate it very much. Our pregame show tomorrow is at
four point thirty, just one hour tomorrow, and then a
big day on Monday. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio.
Come watch the game tomorrow at tomorrow
