This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now
here's Matt Jones. Hi.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, grandpas and
grandma's aunts and uncles, and all you crazy people in
Big Blue Nation. It is the Thursday, May eighth edition
of Kentucky Sports Radio. As always tex Sports Radio sponsored
by the T J. Smith Low's called TJ and Shannon
make them pay. He'll make them pay. We'll have our
Clarks Puppishop phone number will be up and going all
day today. That's eight five nine two, eight oh two
(00:57):
two eighty seven. The Avision Glass Texas is my I
guess my cell phone today. If you know what's number
or not. If you don't have it, tough, I'm not
giving it out. I got it, It's okay, No, it's
all right, and then we'll have our whiskey thief call today.
So listen, guys. Black smoke over the Vatican this morning.
The cardinals have not elected a new pope, but there
(01:20):
was white smoke over the iHeart Building today. Oh, because
we have new hosts today. Well, the white smoke about
the equipment was on fire or something. Ryan Levan, Drew Franklin,
Shannon the Dude, Billy Relich, Mario Maitland. It takes five
of us, four of us to replace Matt Jones, who
understandably Drew is going to pass on the show today.
(01:41):
He's got a long day today, flies back from Phoenix,
Susie lands in Cincinnati, Mario's picking him up and then
they're driving three hours to Owensborough tonight. Long day, so
we kind of understand why he's, uh, load management, load management,
taking a pass today.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Pulling a sovereignty, sitting this one out to rest up
for the next week.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Go.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
We're at the Kentucky's Skin Cancer Center in Owensborough tomorrow
I'll go and shout that out now so we all
we all have a little bit of traveling to do
coming up. I'm still I'm still fulfilling the effects from Phoenix.
I need this coffee to kick in. And after your
intro you seem like you've had plenty of coffee. When
did you work on that smoke joke?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Was that? Is that off the coff or was that
on the drive over? Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
No, that's show prep, okay, because short notice is when
we figured this out here.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
My alarm goes off at seven fifteen to make sure
Josiah's up and going. I checked my phone and Matt
sent us a message at two thirty in the morning.
Our time, guys, I need to pass on the show.
It's gonna be a long day. I need to be
fresh for Friday's remote in Owensboro. So from seven to
fifteen on I've been up. I couldn't go back to
sleep because all of a sudden, my mind's working on like
what we're gonna talk about? There's nothing going on. Drew
(02:42):
and Shannon, Billy, we're all gonna be there. What are
we gonna talk about?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I was up early because I wrote the morning post
on KSR today. I was up a little before seven
to do that. But I get text to my computer
and you're the only person who don't doesn't come to
my computer because they're green. So even though Matt had
sent the message, I still do know this because I
hadn't looked at my phone until close to nine am.
So I trust that you did all of the show prep.
I'm just hearing my usual seat, ready to react to
(03:08):
whatever you brought for us.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Well, I've got my list of topics already used the
black smoke analogy. That's good though, that was really good.
Now what so you know the Cardinals went to went
into the Sistine Chapel. They're oh for one nothing elect
no new pope elected.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yesterday I took this as good news. It means Pizza
Ball is still alive. Still one night, I think it
would just gone to the favorite. But the longer it goes,
I think the better our got. Pizza Ball. It can
pull this off.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
And Shann like I said yesterday, if he wins, he
can't change his name. Get they changed their name to
Pope John Paul and Pope Francis. He's got to eat
Pope Pizza Bala, right, Well, he would right, I mean
that's his you're telling me they actually changed their last name.
Oh yeah, they've because they've they Francis wasn't really his
name wasn't Francis correct, I'm pretty sure its papal name Pappal.
(03:56):
Look at you. Wow, See this coffee's kicking in. I'm
gonna be I have to no idea.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I thought that Pope Francis was actually his name was Francis.
But yeah, Pizza Bala I feel like Pope Pizza Bala
would be Pizza bal is perfect. Is it a role
they have to do that or is it like you
have the option to, like, you know, have a radio
name if you want to.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Uh, well, we'll get into that maybe in the next segment.
We have a little more research. We want to go
through all of our knowledge. I want to go on
my show prep list already in the first segment. You know,
like a wrestling name or something. You know, Well, you
mean those wrestling names aren't real. You mean his real
name is not cash Flow, mister Spectacular, Reverend Ronnie. Those
(04:35):
aren't real names.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Well, some of them might be, but but no, not
all of them.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Your name's real.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, yeah, well, the first name is not the last
The dude is actually not my my last name, believe
it or not.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Right, No, Uh, you know, there's not a lot going on,
but I thought the one news topic that I guess
we should maybe lead with is our boy. Aaron Torres
did a post a podcast. Well hi, Billy, Yeah he doesn't.
He's not always on this.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I forget No, I'm here headphones on. He's on a microphone.
Good morning, Billy. How are you doing. I'm doing great.
Ryan here looks great. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
It must have been really tough for Matt and Drew
to go play a TPC course in Arizona and go
to the bet gala.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I got a lot of sympathy for you guys.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Warm out. Hey, I'm here, I'm I answered the bell.
The last day off was in like September, So I'm
just gonna keep showing up.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
And Ryan, you're right. Well, it's not strictly required. It
is custom for a newly elected pope to choose a
new papal.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Name, but they do. They have to, not a requirement.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
There you go, it's a tradition. We're keeping Pizza Bala.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I think Pizza Bala is his made up name. He's
getting in front of this knowing he's gonna win.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Uh, Billy, I know you and I both had a
little fomo. The guys are playing golf out there, and
we see him at the Big Bet Gala. Oh yeah,
going on.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Well yeah, when Matt brought me on the show to
say I could play TPC Tates Creek with him while
the guys went to Arizona, I had a little bit
of fomo, a little bit of different.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Nothing wrong with TPC Creek. That's my best round. Yeah,
but you got were looking great, especially Mario over there,
all right, uh Aeron Torres. We's a friend of ours,
friend of the show.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Former KSR writer Aaron wrote a book, one in Fun Fun,
one of the few books I've written read in the
last twenty years.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
He had Jaden Quaintan's on his podcast and Jayden Quainton's
had said something to Jack Pilgrim. How long ago do
you say that to Jack Pilgrim was.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Shortly after his commitment is Daring Drew Palouz. I believe
he came on Drew Paluza too. See he's been doing
he's been good at doing interviews since making the commitment.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well in the podcast, with Aaron Torres. He says, Look,
I'm not only gonna be ready by September, I'm gonna
be banging and pushing and shoving and doing my job.
I'm gonna be ready to go by September, which means
it's plenty of time before the practice starts. I mean,
if that's the case, Drew, if that's fact I've said,
I think Drew Jayden Quaints could be our best player,
(06:53):
may not be the leading scorer, but could be the
best player on the team next year. And if he's
healthy when the season starts, look out.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I don't know much about ACL injuries. I'm not a doctor.
He injured it in February. That seems like a very
optimistic timeline. I hope it's the case, and he's said
a couple of times that's what he's shooting for, But
that would be a pretty miraculous comeback to be at
full contact, as he said he wants to do by September.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Hopefully that's the case.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
And I don't he didn't clarify if it meant just
kind of back on the court, running, practicing, or actually
wants to play in the season opener. I think he
told Jack a while back his goals the season opener.
But if he can pull that off, that's an incredible
recovery time coming back from a serious injury just at
the end of last season.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Billy, If that's the fact this team went from a
good team to a Final four team with him healthy.
If he's healthy the whole year, that's how good I
think he is.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Yeah, this whole front court, it's been exciting to see
the depth that they have. But if you're telling me
Quaintance is going to be ready to go from the
start of the year, not only does that make me
more optimistic that they can win in the Champions Classic,
but also the Louisville game as it's before the Champions
Classic this year, so well.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I think Louisville is going to try to move the
game to August now because I think they put it
in November because he was Acuil. Everybody's kind of saying
mid December for Quaintance. I think they got to help
their chances. I mean, they've lost fourteen out of sixteen.
They got to go to some extreme measures here to
try to win this game. So I think they moved
it to November thinking Kentucky wouldn't have quaintance. An hour
after that news comes out and Quentin says he's shooting
(08:16):
for September. So I think Louisvill's gonna try to push
it back to August and do anything they can to
win this game.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Now, you're right, acls Are. They're a funny animal. Some
people do take eight ten months, but then I always
go back. Well, Derek Anderson ripped his ACL in January.
He was ready to go by the Final four, just
a couple months later. It may be individual healing process.
Maybe guys heal faster than others, But I'm telling you,
when I saw him say that that very confident. In
(08:41):
these comments to Aaron Torrez. I just think if you're
able to put him on the floor with Brandon Garritson
at the same time, the front court obviously very strong,
then you got Aberdeen and Otega and low Ryn at
you're starting five. I mean that's a team that can
win a lot of get when the whole thing really.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah, at first we thought it might even be se
played before you see him, which is so be great
to get him to that point. If he goes that early,
that's a difference maker. Also, just like hearing from this guy.
As you mentioned, we had him on UH when I
was hosting Jack's had him one eleven or not eleven.
Personnel sources say the interview with Torres, I really just
enjoy hearing from this kid. Some of these guys, especially
(09:18):
to be eighteen years old, they're not good at interviews.
It's a one word answer. It's clear they don't want
to be there. He's been a really fun interview, not
just on our shows, but hearing him on others, and
I just I like him a lot, not just what
he will bring to the basketball court eventually, but that
was a good interview with Torres yesterday, and.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
He has a lot to prove.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Sorry to interrupt you, I saw you, but I was
going to say, I mean, it kind of fell through
with Kentucky when Cal left, and it was a place
he wanted to be. So now he comes back and
with the first round grade and the next NBA draft,
I think he wants to prove people that he is
deserving of that and wants to play well for Big
Blue Nation.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Do you think he would be the best player like
I think he will be. I guess it may not.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
The leading score they always going to lock up our
I think he's got the best player spot, especially if
he even improved from last year. True, I think he's
looking at potential definitely all SEC, but maybe All American
season if he can continue or even take another step forward.
But Quaintans is the biggest NBA talent. He's projected as
a lottery pick right now, as long as he can
prove that he's back to full health.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
One of my friends did tell me this past weekend
he is he's fearful that one team is going to
tell Otega, we're going to take you in the second round.
You're working younger, you're going to get a guaranteed content.
We're going to take you in the second round, and
you're going to be have a guaranteed contract. Does that
still concern you?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
No?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I think he'd be crazy to take second round money
with whatever UK will pay him. I don't know exactly
what check UK will write, but I don't know that
a second round probably bounce around G League and back
to the NBA. That kind of set up. Why wouldn't
you put that off a year and go make a
at least a million or two at Kentucky.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Yeah, And I think the latest Bleach report mock draft.
He's the last pick of the second round, of the
last pick of the draft. And I think there's been
some reporting on KSR that he would only go if
he was guaranteed a first round spot.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
So and some guys are what they are, so they
just go.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
If he comes back and improves his three point shot,
that's go from second round to first round. Because he's
got a lot of other good tools, it's the three
point shot that hold him back. And if he has
a whole summer working on that, can fix that little
hitch in his jumper and shoot it a better clip.
Next year, the NBA check gets a lot bigger. And
you already made another year of a lot of money
at Kentucky and you in your second season here.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
That's it, man, he can make himself a lot of
money if he comes back and improves he's three point shot.
He's got the rest of the game. And it seemed
to me like when the season started last year, his
shot was a little smoother, and as the season went on,
that hitch got a little worse and a little worse
and little worse. Is that you can feel the same way.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Yeah, that'll be a priority this summer working on that.
Because I mean getting to the basket. We saw what
he can do there. What he have double figures in
every game but two or something crazy. Yeah, yeah, ball
handling could improve a little bit, but those are all
things that are fixable. Some guys you just can't get bigger,
you can't get quicker, you can't get stronger.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
They are what they are.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
But Otake always still has some stuff he can work
with and really improve his game with another year in college.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
It'll be odd because my expectations were pretty low for
him going into the year. I mean, coming from Oklahoma,
I didn't expect him to be the guy that scores
double figure through every game but two. So but so
now I think I go into the season, if he's
on the roster, is he is the best player on
the team. So it's gonna be It's gonna be definitely
a change of expectations for what we see from him.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
On the original point of Quaintons, if he comes back
to full strength and can can match the potential that
they've been saying he has since he's been Heck, he
played last year at seventeen, which is crazy. But you
know what they expect he can become. He will be
a huge difference maker, and we already have so much
depth agreed, it's almost like you don't need him. We'd
love to have him for the Louisville game in the
Champions Classic, but it's not the end of the world.
(12:35):
It's not like he's the only option there. So if
he does have to be a little more patient, that's fine.
As long as he's able to play it at a
high level at some point, he makes a big difference
for Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
We got a full house today, Drew Franklin, Shannon the dude,
Billy r Sports and he's hair and we're gonna take
your calls as well. Breaking news right before the show start.
We got to get to that little disappointing breaking news.
We'll get to that. And we're gonna have another one
of our our drafts, Shannon. You know, like Matt had
his draft, the All Caliperi team, then we did the
All Tubby team. We're gonna have a different kind of draft,
probably in the second hour today, Rick Patino's team. No, No,
(13:09):
it's a little just kind of a little little because
I think Matt still wants to do that with us.
It's gonna be just a little bit of a different.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
You're gonna give us like a heads up. We got
a propars draft. Well, maybe I'll tell you off the
air to get our picks together.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
All right, we gotta get in the green room, our
big board, our war room and get our boards together.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
And where's the where's the location? It seems like, Shannon,
what you told me to go to the hotel tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The wrong dress on the pre show. So, Billy, what
is the correct address?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
It's New Hartford Road, right, twenty nine fifteen, New Hartford Road.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Seeing on his brother, there's an old Hartford Road, and
obviously now there's a new Hartford Road there. We're at
the location at New Hartford Road. Pre show will be there.
Pre se'll be there. We're getting facials. Are you excited
for that?
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Ryan?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I've never had a facial. I don't even know what
they do in a facial?
Speaker 5 (14:15):
What what?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
What do they do when you have a facial? Well,
I don't want to spoil it, but I mean if
any any of us have had one, I guarantee it's you.
What do you mean by that, pampered baby?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I have a nice skincare routine. I wear a nice moisturizer,
sunscreen every day. But no, I've not had a facial.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Oh, you've not had a facial. I've never had I haven't, Shannon,
of you.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Not a professional one. I think I've put on some
of Sarah's like mask things that you can put on
at night.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Shannon's had a different facial eight five two to eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Talking about that, I'm talking about the uh you can
put like a I don't know, it's like a piece
of plastic thing that you put over like your your
face that's got like all these is that what we're
doing tomorrow? Moisture rising stuff. I think they're like scrubbing
your face and they may put like.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
A screen, get some dead skin, put some serum's on there.
Shannon and I think you were wearing a collagen mask
compared I had one on last week. I'm not shot
on my skincare routine.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
A college mask.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
That's what You've got to.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Take care of your body, Ryan, at your temple, getting older,
you got to make sure everything looks good. Sunscreen is
very important. That's that's your My advice to everyone listening.
Where your sunscreen?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
So were you and me and Matt are getting our
facials during the pre show? Yes, I have. I have
an eight forty five appointment.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I didn't know we had appointments. Oh yeah, that's actually
Central time. So well, Matt, Matt's not gonna make the time.
I can tell you that because he's going to be coming.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
What from Mario's driving driving. Yeah, yeah, I don't think.
What are you good? Are you doing yours during KSR?
Speaker 6 (15:49):
They Yeah, I'm gonna do it afterwards. We're gonna try
to do Shannon's during the pre show.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
But I don't know how good that.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
That's gonna be a train wreck, but we'll give it
a try and see what happens.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
We'll see, so we'll be there tomorrow. I'll get our
facials and try a new thing after we're sticking around
for some barbecue, right. It is the festival, the Barbecue
Festival in Owensburg.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I don't think i've been in twenty years. I used
to try to hit it every year. It probably went
four or five times consecutively. I'm looking forward to our show,
first facial and then hanging around a little bit and
eating every piece of barbecue in town.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I mean, we talk a lot about Hibilly Days and
Pikeville Court Days in Mount Sterling. The Barbecue Festival owns
Burro is right up there when it comes to people
watching and things. You don't think eating way too much food,
way too music, greasy, nasty food. Not nasty, but a
bat on your stomach food.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I won't call it the healthiest day I have. But
you know when you were at Wesleyan, did you have
some you all go tear up the barber Yes?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Every year, Oh my goodness, Yes absolutely, We've been there
many times. But I haven't been to the Barbecue Festival
in probably thirty years. Well, it's time, so it's time
to go back. Shannon. You're in for a tree if
you guys, you got to stick around to go down
and just kind of walk. But all the good people
watching will be like in the evening, you know, that's
when the people come out. Peopill come out. Uh, freaks out,
(17:09):
freaks come out at night.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, well I'll I'll stick around for some barbecue. I'm
down with that. I don't know that I'll be sticking
out for the stick around for the freaks coming out,
as you put.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
It later on in the night though. Eight five nine
two eight h two two eight seven. That's our Clars
Pumping Shop phone number. We did get this on the
a Vision Glass Tex machine because guy, I guess has
my cell phone number. A lot of times ACL recovery
depends on the severity of the tear and the health
and shape of the person. Someone active in good physical
health takes less time in most cases.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Well maybe I know, like Ronald Acuna Junior drew for
the Braves, he tore his ACL. I think it was
a year ago, and I don't think he's coming back
till July, so that would put it like fourteen months
for him. But to come back in seven months, that's
that's crazy. And you said, Derek, and you said Anderson
came back in two months.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Ryan, he the tear was in like January and he
was ready to go when the Cats were playing in
the final four. That's insane, it is unbelievable. And then Patino,
you know, famously did not play him right. Well, I
could say why he practiced that day full practice, but
they did not play him in the game for fear
of risking further injury and you know, damaging his NBA future.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Uh, Shannon, you mentioned the Braves. Matt didn't let us
talk about it. I know we lost last night, but
we won the series over summer of eli. Actually some
bad news. Hunter Green got hurt last night, won't We
won't celebrate that. We don't like injuries. But since he
wouldn't even let us say the results yesterday, we got
to work in that. Outside of last night, it was
a good series for Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Well, it's actually a four game series, so they got
we got another one, got back board tonight, so I
got ahead of myself in it's okay, we can make
it three games to one. But yeah, the Reds have
been banged up with this series. Their left field just
broke his forearm in Game one and that was a
I don't know if you saw that. That was crazy.
But Matt Olsen for the Braves ended up with an
inside the park home run. The left fielder, I think
(18:56):
it was Callahan, I think is his name, broke his
forum when he ran against the wall and just laid
there on the ground in pain. The balls right next
to him. Meanwhile, Matt Olson is just circling the bases.
Some of the Reds fans weren't too happy about that, Ryan,
But you know the play continues, right, just like in
football or basketball. Right, it's a live ball.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
You keep going.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
We saw a losing record, though. It's not fun as
a potential World Series team before the season began. It's
not fun to be in third in the division.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Well, going into last night, the Reds had lost five
in a row, and then last night they won, but
they lost Hunter maybe lost Hunter Green he left the game.
I will point out my Saint Louis Cardinals have won
five in a row. Okay, there we go, there we go, Oh,
there we go. But the baseball season for that division,
the Reds and the Cardinals are not doing well. Braves,
(19:46):
Your braves are not doing well. Who's your team, Billy?
The Rays?
Speaker 6 (19:49):
The Rays, and they're playing in that stupid minor league
ballpark because the roof got torn off when they had
that storm come, and it just doesn't feel like a
real season. I don't know, it just feels like exhibition games.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
But the Rays a in trouble. There's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Cardinals Reds are only three games back out of first,
so they're not doing that bad. It's just a terrible division.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Terrible division. Yeah, all right, eight five nine two eight
two two eight seven. That's the Clark's pumpishot phone Numerlet's

Well, i'm talking to the young guys.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Let us here, let us hear it. Yeah, i'd love it.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
A check out a Brasher's Little Nashville. It's downtown, okay.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Little Nashville, all right.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Yeah, at the it's a cool little bar. And uh,
the tavern.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
One couple spots Okay, appreciate it, Thank you, Brian, appreciate you.
Phone call. Where did a young Ron Liman hang out?
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
It was the Brass, the Brass, a saloon, Barnabys boiler room,
Taylor's tavern. Those were the hotspots and bar like you
were in college.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
You don't have to tell anything you don't want to tell.
But I bet r young Ron Lemon when he wasn't
still in bases and like to get after a little bit.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Well, Barnaby's was as big as any place in the Evansville, Ellensboro,
Henderson area. People would travel over from Evansville to go
to Barnaby's. They had it was crazy and the brass. Mmm,
maybe we shouldn't have asked you eight five N two
two eight seven. That's our phoneer if you want to
call and get on board. Uh, we have one minute
to the break. I don't want to have not enough
(22:03):
time to take this call, so we'll get retired ref
when we come back from from the break. We do
want to say the UK graduation is this weekend.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
UH.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
That details you a couple of things. Stay away from
downtown unless you have to do not drive through downtown.
But if you are coming up to the graduation, come
to Chaos Bar and Grill. We get a lot of
people with a lot of families to come out before
or after the graduation. So it's an all day event.
It's gonna be going on all weekend.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yeah, I mean, it just completely takes over downtown. Congratulations
everyone graduating. We're gonna have some I guess some of
the basketball players maybe go.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Through it and grad I'm sure they probably will.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
But we'll have pictures and all that on the website
of any of the athletes that go through. But it's
it's here for everyone graduating UK.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Stay away from downtown. We're right back. This is COATEEIC
Sports Radio, TJ Smith personal injury attorney call TJ. He'll
make them pay.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
All right, welcome back, Thank you Sports Radio. Ryan, Drew, Shannon,
Billy Mario, the whole group's here. I got this on
the Avision Glass text machine. This guy obviously has my
cell phone. My father was an orthopedic surgeon in Louisville.
He said Derek Anderson's injury had to be misdiagnosed. He
told me at the time he has never heard of
an athlete ready to compete in two months post surgery.
(23:17):
And we'll never see another athlete again coming back from
an acl ACL injury like that, So we can't count
on that for the Jaden Quaintance return.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Well, maybe Deren Anderson was just like a tiny tear.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'm just
trying to make sense of it. Coming back after two
months after an ACL tear. That's at That sounds crazy And.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Those stories are legendary. How they were in Indianapolis at
the Final four and it was on the Sunday they
beat on the Saturday, they played Arizona on Monday. Oh goodness,
I can't remember who they played on Saturday and one
Minnesota is that it? How do we not know this?
(23:57):
It's my favorite season and team. Okay, this is the
ninety seven team. Yeah, I don't know. I don't have it.
I can't remember. Why are you covering the team? I was, Yeah,
I was. That was thirty years ago. Yeah, I was eleven.
That's why my memories. Somebody to look it up. And
so they practiced on Sunday, a full practice. It was Minnesota.
There we go Minnesota, and uh, Derek Anderson practiced on
(24:20):
that Sunday in between the two games, full practice and
was the old Derrick Anderson like practice, lights out. And
then Patino still did not want to play him in
the Monday championship game, although if you remember, he did
let him go out and.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Shoot two free throws, shot free that made it worse.
I do remember that very well. My boy, he's in now,
where's he been the whole time?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah? I wish he was shooting the free throws that
Nazi Mohammad shot that night, because Nazy was zero of
six and they got beat by Arizona. Could have been
the rare college three peat, could have been a five
two seven. After Clarks publish out phone him all right,
I had some breaking news Shannon, right before the show
started today.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Do you want the sounder or shoot.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
The TBT? Tournament announced that they are not going to
be playing in Lexington this year. They will again be
playing back in Louisville because the ticket sales went a
lot more sold from the Louisville fans and they.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Got four thousand. I mean, we still host the games
of morel but this is the regional final. Regional final,
they're still lexinging games. But Louisville won the contest. Those
losers they care a lot more than any other team
in this because they don't have any other tournament success lately.
But we will be heading back to Louisville if it
gets to.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
That point, but the first two games again would be
here in Lexington.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Horriman is three. I don't have a three games. I
mean everything that's been promoted and sold, it's still memorial.
But there was a contest just for the regional frontal
whenever you just like last year, it was in Rop
for the whole first few rounds.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Then they had the one game in Louisville and they
base it on total ticket sales.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I want to say it was a race to four
thousand sold.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
And Louisville got it. Louisville one. A little disappointing. Billy
A little bit.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
But that means Kentucky will have a win in Freedom
Hall and then in the KFC Young Center in a
span of what a couple months, As long as Drew
doesn't get nucker punched on his way out, I think it.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Should be that's the main thing.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
We can. We wrap Drew and bubble wrap so he
doesn't get punched again.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I don't kidding.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, I don't think it hurt you too much, though
you kind of know sold them pretty well on that pot.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I can take a punch. I don't think they should
have been allowed. It's not just me getting hit. I
mean those losers were the biggest losers to ever lose
in that game. I mean, on Waku's spinning on Nate
Sustina fans winding everywhere.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
I mean, they showed their true.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Asses in a summer exhibition of guys were barely barely
young enough to still play basketball. So I think they
should have been banned. Of course, they sold more tickets
because they suck at the actual game. That's why they're
getting a host again. But I wish the tvt should
have said, no, you showed your asses last year, and
you're not allowed to host again. Reach it but I
will go back and I will do the exact same
thing I did last year. I will keep my l's
(26:46):
down for two hours and they can bring it again.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
You know they It ended up being kind of a
special win because you went, you beat Louisville on their
home court, and.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
They were so excited. They were so excited that they
were they talking so much, smack all the the you know,
the crowd majority of Louisville fans.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, it's when you went on an opponent's home floor,
it makes it a little special.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Yeah, and I had my run in with that weak
minded human, but the spitting who spits?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Who spits? Who spits?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
A grown man had a basketball game hawking a louis
on his opponent. Because they can't handle losing. They should
be good at losing, it's all they do. How have
they not learned how to be gracious losers?
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Yet?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Pope took the UK team with him all over there
to watch and support the guys.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Thank god they were up in a box. No telling
what would have happened to them around all those losers,
but they did win this contest. Congratulations on finally winning something.
I can't wait to see you there next summer losers
preach Drew. I'm wearing body armor.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
So it's it's it's set up. We're gonna happen again.
Kentucky takes care of business here at Memorial again, wins
those game. We're just gonna do it again. Beating Louisville
is what we do the Louisville the lexing games are
interrupt right.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Memorial Okay, and I announced that twenty seconds ago Memorial Coliseum. Sorry,
we got the Harrison Twins. They had the Harrison Twins,
so we got Drown Liggins, Harrison Twins, Willie several more
to come. I've heard a few rumors of who the why.
I don't want to say it, just in case they
have to bail. There's a lot of scheduling stuff, but
I know who they've targeted and had conversations with. We're
(28:18):
gonna be loaded again. But I'm glad the Twins are back.
It was a lot of fun watching them be a
part of it last year when they beat those losers
in Freedom Hall.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I hope Cstina's back too.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
I don't know if that's he should be the number
one pick if we can get him. He took it
so much more well they all took it seriously. I
don't want to minish the other guys, but he got
so into it and he played really well. You know,
he was on the Kentucky team that got robbed and
didn't have a tournament, so I think Nate was treating
that like his NCAA tournament.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
He was the best player on the TBT team.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
And Innis's little brother must bring him, bring him back.
He was the other star of the family. We got
Liggins with that lockdown d We'll go beat these losers
again in Freedom Hall.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
So even though the news is a little disappointing, it
still can make it just as sweet when you go
and win again this year. Yeah, it'll happen. It'll happen.
Marker callenders eight two two eight seven. Let's go to
the phone lines. We got Greg coming up next. Go ahead, Greg.
Speaker 8 (29:10):
Hey, guys, I thought i'd chip on on the JCLS.
I've torn mine, My two daughters are torn theirs, and.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
There's not a coach that's ever going to play a
player before.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
Six months is up.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
I mean, after two months you can jump around, walk
and run, but you put Derek Anderson. Anderson in there
at game speed, and he was going to ruin his
knee and if he could have played, if he was recovered,
Patina would have played him. But it's a six month
deal and somebody can prove me wrong. But I don't
think any players come out come back before six months.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Was out all I appreciate great thanks for the phone call. Yeah,
that's that. That kind of adds to the mystery of
that Derek Anderson incident. I mean they were the best
team and then with him they almost want it without him,
So with him, you got to think they would have
beat Arizona and Miles Simon and Mike Bibbie in that group.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
That is that the most famous UK injury that's cost him.
I know there's been some some big ones, but is
that that probably adds a title, a banner to the rafters.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
His injury doesn't happen because it happened in January. You know,
when they were making their big run. Was it three
when Keith Bogan's got hurt three? Yeah, right before that
springed ankle he got in the Elite eight in the
Sweet sixteen against Wisconsin. He tried to play against Marquette
in the Elite eight.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
I still think we have a banner of Alex Poythers
didn't hurt because Wisconsin doesn't, doesn't or we have someone
to guard uh Sam Decker in that bunch. This is
not a fun exercise.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
No, I mean the Newlands and Noel injury forwarded that season.
But it wasn't the championship run or anything they were
making at the time. They go to the tournament that year.
Not in the n I T losing to Robert Morris,
was it.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
PJ Washington had a thumb injury, played through it and
missed all those free throws.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Yes, PJ in the boot, that's what was at his
most I haven't seen him, haven't seen him. We were
getting I haven't seen him daily.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Uh. But the PJ the hits a couple those free throws.
They may went beat Kansas State and ed up in
the final four. That's another final four. They could have
had half of last year's roster, half of last year's roster.
That's also Kurk Crisa absolutely, Jackson Robinson, what if he
stays healthy the whole year. Last year you have Andrew
Carr for that big stretch to change things. That's a
(31:19):
fun game. Last year was probably the most injury prone
where it happened to more than one guy. You know,
you had it had three or four guys go go down.
Major players go down. It hurts when you got one guy.
But that team last year, man, they lost so many
key pieces.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Yeah, I mean losing Robinson. You don't have him to tournament.
That's one of the biggest. There's been other individual injuries,
but I can't think of a team that just had
as many across the board.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Eight five, nine, two, two two eight ten. We got
Paul up next, Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
Paul, Yeah, on the ACL tear. If they had him
doing hyperbaric oxygen treatments before and after surgery, he could
very well be up on it and playing. It would
increase the healing by probably four times.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
All right, did they have that kind of procedure in
nineteen ninety seven, Yes, Okay, well maybe that's what they did.
Speaker 7 (32:15):
It's just a Yeah, it's a chamber that you go
in one hundred percent oxygen that's compressed and it takes
your body's natural healing ability times a thousand. But to
get there, you'd have to do you know, twenty to
forty treatments, two hour treatments, and you do them consecutively.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
All right, Greg a phone call. Appreciate that. I mean,
they're the advances in medicine now, I'm sure has helped
Jaden Quainton's get ready. Is his terror as bad as
Derrick Cannerson's tear? I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Yeah, I mean, I love that he's shooting for mid
September for full contact, but I'm gonna I'm not gonna
write that down in sharply that he will be a
part of the team to start the year. That would
be pretty impressive.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
He sees to believe it, Billy. He's been telling every
that's the right attitude to have. It's right.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Yeah, And I'm sure that helps in the recovery process
as well. If you have an optimistic mindset, then you're
gonna do everything with one hundred and ten percent effort. Ryan,
I'm surprised you were such an athlete. You didn't tear
anything sliding into a base or never major injuries like that.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Well, it was a fine tuned athlete, you know. I was,
you know, the elite of the elite that don't get
hurt like that. I did break my finger, like during
my senior year of fall baseball. I'd missed the whole
fall season because I broke a bone in my throwing
hand and my coach made me run cross country. Are
you on the cross country team? I was a Kentucky
Wesleyan baseball player and cross country run.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Wait a minute, We've always known about these records you
have in baseball, but I didn't know you were a
two sports star.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
My baseball coach who just turned eighty years old, we
just went to see him Sunday. God bless him, Dinny Pots.
He was also the cross country coach for a couple
of years. If you got hurt during baseball season, guess
where your butt into day running on the cross country team.
Stay in shape, Solthough, like the handful of us running
cross country.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
For one year, it sound like you didn't have a
choice needed to keep you all condition, otherwise you would
have been at brasses every night or whatever you wrote too.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I think I ran in three meets and finished last
or next to last, and all three of them so
simply choke. Yeah, I was simply joking. You're so funny. Alright,
two A tip over right back, Ryan Drew, Shannon Billy.
This is connect Sports Radio. Welcome back, can Tekan Sports Radio.
This nickelback it is.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, this is back on the first album when they
were really popular.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Well, there's a documentary on Netflix we talked about during
the break about Nickelback. I think it came out maybe
a year or so ago, and I just saw it
just while you guys were off in Arizona. It's really
really good because it talks about how they were so
popular then people started hating them, and it talks about
how it affected those guys. You know, they were they
(34:48):
were as popular as anybody, and all of a sudden
it became a real hot trendy thing to not like Nickelback.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Well that's because they were writing songs like this that
were actually good to songs like this, and that's when
they started to get hated when they put out rock
Star and they put out Photograph.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
But I mean, that's still a good Sorry, that's what
I like.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Let's see, when you're Nickelback and you appealed to the
Rascal Flat fans. I think that's why they got hated
on Ryan is right here.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
He can hear you. Rascal Flats, that's your other band. Yeah, yeah,
I kind of falling off the Rascal Flats bandwagon because
they called it quits. But I've always liked Nickelback. I
never understood why they all that Nickelback eight that was
going on for soul.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
You're saying that's a good documentary. I should go watch
on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
It's really good because they really get personal with the guys,
how it affected them and their families. Their kids would
go to school and other kids would make fun of
their dads and Nickelback and stuff.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
You know.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Yeah, really, it's really good.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
So it all started with Creed. Creed was really popular.
They got this treatment first. Then it kind of spread
over to Nickelback after that. But now Creed's cool again.
Creed's cool with the TikTok crowd, the younger crowd, and
I I think Nickelback's cool again, aren't they. Well yeah,
I'll put it like this. We started playing Creed again
on QMF and we didn't plan for years. But now
we're back to playing Creed, but we're not playing Nickelback.
(36:08):
So I don't know if that changed.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
It.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Don't know if that says anything about either their popularity
or our programming.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
You know, Nickelback, don't you be of course?
Speaker 6 (36:16):
And I don't know if it's people that just want
free stuff. But when Shannon and I gave away Creed tickets,
I mean, you would have thought we were given away
free money.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Yeah, Beatles tickets or something that people, Yeah, knocking down
people trying to get through the lines.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Well, I was hoping to go see Creed this summer,
but now the Three Doors Down, who was not their opener.
I know if they're co headlining or before Creed, but
he announced yesterday of cancer diagnosis and Three Doors Downs
done touring, and I'm sure that will affect the the
Creed concert up.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Bad news for what's his name.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Shannon brad Arnold on the nicest guys you get ever,
but I've had a chance to interview him a couple
of times. Really good guy, and really it's sad to
see that come out stage stage four kidney cancer and
they've shut down the hoteur well for Three Doors Down.
I don't know if that see. I just assumed that
they were going to cancel the entire tour with Creed,
which meant Creed wasn't going to play Rupperina. But I
(37:08):
haven't heard officially if they're going to cancel Creed's part
of it and maybe pick up another opening band, I'm
not sure.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
There's like five or six bands I've read. Some have
already been canceled, but there might they're hopeful maybe slide
something in for three Doors Down as replacement.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
I'm not sure, but it just awesome news. Brad Arnold,
there you go. Alice Blue Gown can open up for him.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Ah, yeah, we play for sure. Yeah, we're gonna be
playing the Virginia. We just announced that KSR is going
to be coming to Summerset June the sixth at the Virginia,
which is this really nice old theater, and we're gonna
be playing there with the band that night.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah, so I'll be hanging out for the entire day
and night morning and uh and no, not a Winesboro,
that's Summerset. Yeah, Summerset, Summerset on June sixth.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Well, you played your new song earlier and when I
didn't catch it, can you play it again? Next hour?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Being to play it to set up this conversation we're
having now, and you completely ignored it.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
So no, no, I have adhd I forgot that one.
Speak of speaking of concerts, are real birds coming up
in Lexington into this month right May thirty, first June first, oh,
you're asking and you're telling, right, we have the parking
spots available for sale over at Chaos Bar and Grill.
(38:20):
So you all you gotta do is go to the
Chaos Bar and Grill social media accounts. They've got the
links there where you could buy a parking pass and
we're not gonna let you just go in and park
and walk over. You got to buy a pass to
park and walk over. It's the best parking you're going
to have. We got some good security out there, good security, Griff,
we had Griff. We had the OVW wrestlers out there
that one year.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
It's right, no offense of them. I thought Griff was
a little more organized. His guy's shirt organized. Guys had
shirts on, but that I had their security name on it.
Both were great though well.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Had spectacular and immaculate Joe Mack slapping people's cars because
they weren't going the right way. But yeah, that is
uh May thirty first, in June first, you did.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
So the parking is really good. That is good.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
I'm not just saying that as someone with Chaos Bar.
I've attended every Railbird and the one over Red Mile.
It was a very short walk and even just like
leaving to go get lunch and a few drinks and
get some air conditioning at Chaos Bar. Check on my car,
you know, whatever you need to do, then head back over.
It's very convenient, So.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Go to the Chaos Bar social media accounts. There's a
link there you can sign up by your pass. Before
we take our top of the hour break, I do
want to bring up there's a there's been a movement
in Kentucky where they're trying to get a one year
free transfer rule for high school athletes where you could
transfer from one school to another free, not have to
sit out a year. What's gonna be. It looks like
(39:39):
KHSA and the people are gonna shoot it down. They're
gonna stay kind of maintained with the rule they got. Now,
if you transfer to school, you will be investigated if
you can show proof of residents that you actually physically moved,
or if your parents split up and you moved, or
you know, there's some things you can do. But there
was a movement guys to try to get a one
year free transfer rule. Transfer anywhere you want for free
(40:01):
and not be investigated or losing you have to sit
out a year.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
You as the high school sports guy and the traditionalist.
I'm sure you're glad they're not letting them move around.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
I am glad about that. I mean, I understand the
world we live in and people are transferring, But if
the family physically moves to that school district, I don't
know what you can do. And it's happening all the time.
Maybe for football and basketball, you know, I think you
could transfer in tennis, golf, some of the minor sports
and not ever get investigated. But you do it in
(40:32):
football or basketball, you will get investigated by the KHSAA.
You have to prove proof of residency in that school district.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Was it Zion Harmon That seemed like he was at
a different high school every other month.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Yeah, there's been some kids around here who've played for
four different schools in five years or four years. So
what do you think about it? I agree with you
that I'm glad they're doing it well.
Speaker 6 (40:52):
It's no secret that private schools have an advantage over
public schools because they recruit to their sports, right, right,
do they still have to set out if a kid
goes to a private school.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
I don't think so. Okay, I think you go to
a private school, you don't have to have that sit
out rule. I don't think that's the case.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
Well, that doesn't seem fair for the public schools. So
this would be a way to even the playing field
a little bit. But are we incentivizing you just going
to the school that gives you the best chance to
win a championship? Do we need to be incentivizing that
in high school?
Speaker 3 (41:19):
You know, because they're you know, Saint X and Trinity
in Louisville, they get kids from Indiana. They recruit like,
let's not act like they don't.
Speaker 6 (41:26):
So it's like, do you want the public schools to
be able to get kids for maybe with the transfers
without sitting out a year. It seems like it's plausible,
but there's a lot of tradition that they'll have to
get over. There's a lot of movement for it because
the colleges now have it with a transfer portal, Right,
you can go from school to school.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
And not have to sit out. Trying to try to
translate that in Downe the high school though, but it
looks like the KHSAA is saying least right now, ain't happening.
Ain't happening right now. Maybe in the future, But ain't
happening right now? All right? That I'll do it for
our number one. We'll be back our number two eight
five nine two eight h two two eight seven. We
got a draft coming up, another ASR draft. This one's
a little off the walls. We'll take your calls as well.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, grandpas and
grandma's aunts and uncles, and all you crazy people in
Big Blue Nation. It is the Thursday, May eighth edition
of Kentucky Sports Radio. As always tex Sports Radio sponsored
by the T J. Smith Low's called TJ and Shannon
make them pay. He'll make them pay. We'll have our
Clarks Puppishop phone number will be up and going all

all right, and then we'll have our whiskey thief call today.
So listen, guys. Black smoke over the Vatican this morning.
The cardinals have not elected a new pope, but there
(01:20):
was white smoke over the iHeart Building today. Oh, because
we have new hosts today. Well, the white smoke about
the equipment was on fire or something. Ryan Levan, Drew Franklin,
Shannon the Dude, Billy Relich, Mario Maitland. It takes five
of us, four of us to replace Matt Jones, who
understandably Drew is going to pass on the show today.
(01:41):
He's got a long day today, flies back from Phoenix,
Susie lands in Cincinnati, Mario's picking him up and then
they're driving three hours to Owensborough tonight. Long day, so
we kind of understand why he's, uh, load management, load management,
taking a pass today.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Pulling a sovereignty, sitting this one out to rest up
for the next week.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Go.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
We're at the Kentucky's Skin Cancer Center in Owensborough tomorrow
I'll go and shout that out now so we all
we all have a little bit of traveling to do
coming up. I'm still I'm still fulfilling the effects from Phoenix.
I need this coffee to kick in. And after your
intro you seem like you've had plenty of coffee. When
did you work on that smoke joke?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Was that? Is that off the coff or was that
on the drive over? Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
No, that's show prep, okay, because short notice is when
we figured this out here.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
My alarm goes off at seven fifteen to make sure
Josiah's up and going. I checked my phone and Matt
sent us a message at two thirty in the morning.
Our time, guys, I need to pass on the show.
It's gonna be a long day. I need to be
fresh for Friday's remote in Owensboro. So from seven to
fifteen on I've been up. I couldn't go back to
sleep because all of a sudden, my mind's working on like
what we're gonna talk about? There's nothing going on. Drew
(02:42):
and Shannon, Billy, we're all gonna be there. What are
we gonna talk about?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I was up early because I wrote the morning post
on KSR today. I was up a little before seven
to do that. But I get text to my computer
and you're the only person who don't doesn't come to
my computer because they're green. So even though Matt had
sent the message, I still do know this because I
hadn't looked at my phone until close to nine am.
So I trust that you did all of the show prep.
I'm just hearing my usual seat, ready to react to
(03:08):
whatever you brought for us.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Well, I've got my list of topics already used the
black smoke analogy. That's good though, that was really good.
Now what so you know the Cardinals went to went
into the Sistine Chapel. They're oh for one nothing elect
no new pope elected.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yesterday I took this as good news. It means Pizza
Ball is still alive. Still one night, I think it
would just gone to the favorite. But the longer it goes,
I think the better our got. Pizza Ball. It can
pull this off.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
And Shann like I said yesterday, if he wins, he
can't change his name. Get they changed their name to
Pope John Paul and Pope Francis. He's got to eat
Pope Pizza Bala, right, Well, he would right, I mean
that's his you're telling me they actually changed their last name.
Oh yeah, they've because they've they Francis wasn't really his
name wasn't Francis correct, I'm pretty sure its papal name Pappal.
(03:56):
Look at you. Wow, See this coffee's kicking in. I'm
gonna be I have to no idea.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I thought that Pope Francis was actually his name was Francis.
But yeah, Pizza Bala I feel like Pope Pizza Bala
would be Pizza bal is perfect. Is it a role
they have to do that or is it like you
have the option to, like, you know, have a radio
name if you want to.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Uh, well, we'll get into that maybe in the next segment.
We have a little more research. We want to go
through all of our knowledge. I want to go on
my show prep list already in the first segment. You know,
like a wrestling name or something. You know, Well, you
mean those wrestling names aren't real. You mean his real
name is not cash Flow, mister Spectacular, Reverend Ronnie. Those
(04:35):
aren't real names.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Well, some of them might be, but but no, not
all of them.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Your name's real.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, yeah, well, the first name is not the last
The dude is actually not my my last name, believe
it or not.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Right, No, Uh, you know, there's not a lot going on,
but I thought the one news topic that I guess
we should maybe lead with is our boy. Aaron Torres
did a post a podcast. Well hi, Billy, Yeah he doesn't.
He's not always on this.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I forget No, I'm here headphones on. He's on a microphone.
Good morning, Billy. How are you doing. I'm doing great.
Ryan here looks great. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (05:11):
It must have been really tough for Matt and Drew
to go play a TPC course in Arizona and go
to the bet gala.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I got a lot of sympathy for you guys.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Warm out. Hey, I'm here, I'm I answered the bell.
The last day off was in like September, So I'm
just gonna keep showing up.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
And Ryan, you're right. Well, it's not strictly required. It
is custom for a newly elected pope to choose a
new papal.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Name, but they do. They have to, not a requirement.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
There you go, it's a tradition. We're keeping Pizza Bala.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I think Pizza Bala is his made up name. He's
getting in front of this knowing he's gonna win.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Uh, Billy, I know you and I both had a
little fomo. The guys are playing golf out there, and
we see him at the Big Bet Gala. Oh yeah,
going on.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Well yeah, when Matt brought me on the show to
say I could play TPC Tates Creek with him while
the guys went to Arizona, I had a little bit
of fomo, a little bit of different.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Nothing wrong with TPC Creek. That's my best round. Yeah,
but you got were looking great, especially Mario over there,
all right, uh Aeron Torres. We's a friend of ours,
friend of the show.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Former KSR writer Aaron wrote a book, one in Fun Fun,
one of the few books I've written read in the
last twenty years.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
He had Jaden Quaintan's on his podcast and Jayden Quainton's
had said something to Jack Pilgrim. How long ago do
you say that to Jack Pilgrim was.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Shortly after his commitment is Daring Drew Palouz. I believe
he came on Drew Paluza too. See he's been doing
he's been good at doing interviews since making the commitment.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well in the podcast, with Aaron Torres. He says, Look,
I'm not only gonna be ready by September, I'm gonna
be banging and pushing and shoving and doing my job.
I'm gonna be ready to go by September, which means
it's plenty of time before the practice starts. I mean,
if that's the case, Drew, if that's fact I've said,
I think Drew Jayden Quaints could be our best player,
(06:53):
may not be the leading scorer, but could be the
best player on the team next year. And if he's
healthy when the season starts, look out.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I don't know much about ACL injuries. I'm not a doctor.
He injured it in February. That seems like a very
optimistic timeline. I hope it's the case, and he's said
a couple of times that's what he's shooting for, But
that would be a pretty miraculous comeback to be at
full contact, as he said he wants to do by September.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Hopefully that's the case.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
And I don't he didn't clarify if it meant just
kind of back on the court, running, practicing, or actually
wants to play in the season opener. I think he
told Jack a while back his goals the season opener.
But if he can pull that off, that's an incredible
recovery time coming back from a serious injury just at
the end of last season.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Billy, If that's the fact this team went from a
good team to a Final four team with him healthy.
If he's healthy the whole year, that's how good I
think he is.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Yeah, this whole front court, it's been exciting to see
the depth that they have. But if you're telling me
Quaintance is going to be ready to go from the
start of the year, not only does that make me
more optimistic that they can win in the Champions Classic,
but also the Louisville game as it's before the Champions
Classic this year, so well.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I think Louisville is going to try to move the
game to August now because I think they put it
in November because he was Acuil. Everybody's kind of saying
mid December for Quaintance. I think they got to help
their chances. I mean, they've lost fourteen out of sixteen.
They got to go to some extreme measures here to
try to win this game. So I think they moved
it to November thinking Kentucky wouldn't have quaintance. An hour
after that news comes out and Quentin says he's shooting
(08:16):
for September. So I think Louisvill's gonna try to push
it back to August and do anything they can to
win this game.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Now, you're right, acls Are. They're a funny animal. Some
people do take eight ten months, but then I always
go back. Well, Derek Anderson ripped his ACL in January.
He was ready to go by the Final four, just
a couple months later. It may be individual healing process.
Maybe guys heal faster than others, But I'm telling you,
when I saw him say that that very confident. In
(08:41):
these comments to Aaron Torrez. I just think if you're
able to put him on the floor with Brandon Garritson
at the same time, the front court obviously very strong,
then you got Aberdeen and Otega and low Ryn at
you're starting five. I mean that's a team that can
win a lot of get when the whole thing really.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah, at first we thought it might even be se
played before you see him, which is so be great
to get him to that point. If he goes that early,
that's a difference maker. Also, just like hearing from this guy.
As you mentioned, we had him on UH when I
was hosting Jack's had him one eleven or not eleven.
Personnel sources say the interview with Torres, I really just
enjoy hearing from this kid. Some of these guys, especially
(09:18):
to be eighteen years old, they're not good at interviews.
It's a one word answer. It's clear they don't want
to be there. He's been a really fun interview, not
just on our shows, but hearing him on others, and
I just I like him a lot, not just what
he will bring to the basketball court eventually, but that
was a good interview with Torres yesterday, and.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
He has a lot to prove.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Sorry to interrupt you, I saw you, but I was
going to say, I mean, it kind of fell through
with Kentucky when Cal left, and it was a place
he wanted to be. So now he comes back and
with the first round grade and the next NBA draft,
I think he wants to prove people that he is
deserving of that and wants to play well for Big
Blue Nation.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Do you think he would be the best player like
I think he will be. I guess it may not.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
The leading score they always going to lock up our
I think he's got the best player spot, especially if
he even improved from last year. True, I think he's
looking at potential definitely all SEC, but maybe All American
season if he can continue or even take another step forward.
But Quaintans is the biggest NBA talent. He's projected as
a lottery pick right now, as long as he can
prove that he's back to full health.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
One of my friends did tell me this past weekend
he is he's fearful that one team is going to
tell Otega, we're going to take you in the second round.
You're working younger, you're going to get a guaranteed content.
We're going to take you in the second round, and
you're going to be have a guaranteed contract. Does that
still concern you?
Speaker 5 (10:27):
No?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I think he'd be crazy to take second round money
with whatever UK will pay him. I don't know exactly
what check UK will write, but I don't know that
a second round probably bounce around G League and back
to the NBA. That kind of set up. Why wouldn't
you put that off a year and go make a
at least a million or two at Kentucky.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Yeah, And I think the latest Bleach report mock draft.
He's the last pick of the second round, of the
last pick of the draft. And I think there's been
some reporting on KSR that he would only go if
he was guaranteed a first round spot.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
So and some guys are what they are, so they
just go.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
If he comes back and improves his three point shot,
that's go from second round to first round. Because he's
got a lot of other good tools, it's the three
point shot that hold him back. And if he has
a whole summer working on that, can fix that little
hitch in his jumper and shoot it a better clip.
Next year, the NBA check gets a lot bigger. And
you already made another year of a lot of money
at Kentucky and you in your second season here.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
That's it, man, he can make himself a lot of
money if he comes back and improves he's three point shot.
He's got the rest of the game. And it seemed
to me like when the season started last year, his
shot was a little smoother, and as the season went on,
that hitch got a little worse and a little worse
and little worse. Is that you can feel the same way.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Yeah, that'll be a priority this summer working on that.
Because I mean getting to the basket. We saw what
he can do there. What he have double figures in
every game but two or something crazy. Yeah, yeah, ball
handling could improve a little bit, but those are all
things that are fixable. Some guys you just can't get bigger,
you can't get quicker, you can't get stronger.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
They are what they are.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
But Otake always still has some stuff he can work
with and really improve his game with another year in college.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
It'll be odd because my expectations were pretty low for
him going into the year. I mean, coming from Oklahoma,
I didn't expect him to be the guy that scores
double figure through every game but two. So but so
now I think I go into the season, if he's
on the roster, is he is the best player on
the team. So it's gonna be It's gonna be definitely
a change of expectations for what we see from him.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
On the original point of Quaintons, if he comes back
to full strength and can can match the potential that
they've been saying he has since he's been Heck, he
played last year at seventeen, which is crazy. But you
know what they expect he can become. He will be
a huge difference maker, and we already have so much
depth agreed, it's almost like you don't need him. We'd
love to have him for the Louisville game in the
Champions Classic, but it's not the end of the world.
(12:35):
It's not like he's the only option there. So if
he does have to be a little more patient, that's fine.
As long as he's able to play it at a
high level at some point, he makes a big difference
for Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
We got a full house today, Drew Franklin, Shannon the dude,
Billy r Sports and he's hair and we're gonna take
your calls as well. Breaking news right before the show start.
We got to get to that little disappointing breaking news.
We'll get to that. And we're gonna have another one
of our our drafts, Shannon. You know, like Matt had
his draft, the All Caliperi team, then we did the
All Tubby team. We're gonna have a different kind of draft,
probably in the second hour today, Rick Patino's team. No, No,
(13:09):
it's a little just kind of a little little because
I think Matt still wants to do that with us.
It's gonna be just a little bit of a different.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
You're gonna give us like a heads up. We got
a propars draft. Well, maybe I'll tell you off the
air to get our picks together.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
All right, we gotta get in the green room, our
big board, our war room and get our boards together.
Speaker 5 (13:26):

what you told me to go to the hotel tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The wrong dress on the pre show. So, Billy, what
is the correct address?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
It's New Hartford Road, right, twenty nine fifteen, New Hartford Road.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Seeing on his brother, there's an old Hartford Road, and
obviously now there's a new Hartford Road there. We're at
the location at New Hartford Road. Pre show will be there.
Pre se'll be there. We're getting facials. Are you excited
for that?
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Ryan?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I've never had a facial. I don't even know what
they do in a facial?
Speaker 5 (14:15):
What what?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
What do they do when you have a facial? Well,
I don't want to spoil it, but I mean if
any any of us have had one, I guarantee it's you.
What do you mean by that, pampered baby?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I have a nice skincare routine. I wear a nice moisturizer,
sunscreen every day. But no, I've not had a facial.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Oh, you've not had a facial. I've never had I haven't, Shannon,
of you.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Not a professional one. I think I've put on some
of Sarah's like mask things that you can put on
at night.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Shannon's had a different facial eight five two to eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Talking about that, I'm talking about the uh you can
put like a I don't know, it's like a piece
of plastic thing that you put over like your your
face that's got like all these is that what we're
doing tomorrow? Moisture rising stuff. I think they're like scrubbing
your face and they may put like.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
A screen, get some dead skin, put some serum's on there.
Shannon and I think you were wearing a collagen mask
compared I had one on last week. I'm not shot
on my skincare routine.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
A college mask.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
That's what You've got to.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Take care of your body, Ryan, at your temple, getting older,
you got to make sure everything looks good. Sunscreen is
very important. That's that's your My advice to everyone listening.
Where your sunscreen?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
So were you and me and Matt are getting our
facials during the pre show? Yes, I have. I have
an eight forty five appointment.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I didn't know we had appointments. Oh yeah, that's actually
Central time. So well, Matt, Matt's not gonna make the time.
I can tell you that because he's going to be coming.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
What from Mario's driving driving. Yeah, yeah, I don't think.
What are you good? Are you doing yours during KSR?
Speaker 6 (15:49):
They Yeah, I'm gonna do it afterwards. We're gonna try
to do Shannon's during the pre show.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
But I don't know how good that.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
That's gonna be a train wreck, but we'll give it
a try and see what happens.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
We'll see, so we'll be there tomorrow. I'll get our
facials and try a new thing after we're sticking around
for some barbecue, right. It is the festival, the Barbecue
Festival in Owensburg.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I don't think i've been in twenty years. I used
to try to hit it every year. It probably went
four or five times consecutively. I'm looking forward to our show,
first facial and then hanging around a little bit and
eating every piece of barbecue in town.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I mean, we talk a lot about Hibilly Days and
Pikeville Court Days in Mount Sterling. The Barbecue Festival owns
Burro is right up there when it comes to people
watching and things. You don't think eating way too much food,
way too music, greasy, nasty food. Not nasty, but a
bat on your stomach food.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
I won't call it the healthiest day I have. But
you know when you were at Wesleyan, did you have
some you all go tear up the barber Yes?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Every year, Oh my goodness, Yes absolutely, We've been there
many times. But I haven't been to the Barbecue Festival
in probably thirty years. Well, it's time, so it's time
to go back. Shannon. You're in for a tree if
you guys, you got to stick around to go down
and just kind of walk. But all the good people
watching will be like in the evening, you know, that's
when the people come out. Peopill come out. Uh, freaks out,
(17:09):
freaks come out at night.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, well I'll I'll stick around for some barbecue. I'm
down with that. I don't know that I'll be sticking
out for the stick around for the freaks coming out,
as you put.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
It later on in the night though. Eight five nine
two eight h two two eight seven. That's our Clars
Pumping Shop phone number. We did get this on the
a Vision Glass Tex machine because guy, I guess has
my cell phone number. A lot of times ACL recovery
depends on the severity of the tear and the health
and shape of the person. Someone active in good physical
health takes less time in most cases.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Well maybe I know, like Ronald Acuna Junior drew for
the Braves, he tore his ACL. I think it was
a year ago, and I don't think he's coming back
till July, so that would put it like fourteen months
for him. But to come back in seven months, that's
that's crazy. And you said, Derek, and you said Anderson
came back in two months.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Ryan, he the tear was in like January and he
was ready to go when the Cats were playing in
the final four. That's insane, it is unbelievable. And then Patino,
you know, famously did not play him right. Well, I
could say why he practiced that day full practice, but
they did not play him in the game for fear
of risking further injury and you know, damaging his NBA future.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Uh, Shannon, you mentioned the Braves. Matt didn't let us
talk about it. I know we lost last night, but
we won the series over summer of eli. Actually some
bad news. Hunter Green got hurt last night, won't We
won't celebrate that. We don't like injuries. But since he
wouldn't even let us say the results yesterday, we got
to work in that. Outside of last night, it was
a good series for Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Well, it's actually a four game series, so they got
we got another one, got back board tonight, so I
got ahead of myself in it's okay, we can make
it three games to one. But yeah, the Reds have
been banged up with this series. Their left field just
broke his forearm in Game one and that was a
I don't know if you saw that. That was crazy.
But Matt Olsen for the Braves ended up with an
inside the park home run. The left fielder, I think
(18:56):
it was Callahan, I think is his name, broke his
forum when he ran against the wall and just laid
there on the ground in pain. The balls right next
to him. Meanwhile, Matt Olson is just circling the bases.
Some of the Reds fans weren't too happy about that, Ryan,
But you know the play continues, right, just like in
football or basketball. Right, it's a live ball.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
You keep going.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
We saw a losing record, though. It's not fun as
a potential World Series team before the season began. It's
not fun to be in third in the division.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Well, going into last night, the Reds had lost five
in a row, and then last night they won, but
they lost Hunter maybe lost Hunter Green he left the game.
I will point out my Saint Louis Cardinals have won
five in a row. Okay, there we go, there we go, Oh,
there we go. But the baseball season for that division,
the Reds and the Cardinals are not doing well. Braves,
(19:46):
Your braves are not doing well. Who's your team, Billy?
The Rays?
Speaker 6 (19:49):
The Rays, and they're playing in that stupid minor league
ballpark because the roof got torn off when they had
that storm come, and it just doesn't feel like a
real season. I don't know, it just feels like exhibition games.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
But the Rays a in trouble. There's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Cardinals Reds are only three games back out of first,
so they're not doing that bad. It's just a terrible division.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Terrible division. Yeah, all right, eight five nine two eight
two two eight seven. That's the Clark's pumpishot phone Numerlet's
get Brian. He's been our first call. Get ready to go? So, Hello, Brian,
how you doing?
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Uh, the young young Bucks may be getting out somewhere,
but not me. I'm coming in, gonna tuck in and
get a good night rest for the show tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Got you gotcha?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Can I give you some suggestions of some spots to hit?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Please again? It's my bad hit my bed.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Well, i'm talking to the young guys.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Let us here, let us hear it. Yeah, i'd love it.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
A check out a Brasher's Little Nashville. It's downtown, okay.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Little Nashville, all right.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Yeah, at the it's a cool little bar. And uh,
the tavern.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
One couple spots Okay, appreciate it, Thank you, Brian, appreciate you.
Phone call. Where did a young Ron Liman hang out?
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
It was the Brass, the Brass, a saloon, Barnabys boiler room,
Taylor's tavern. Those were the hotspots and bar like you
were in college.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
You don't have to tell anything you don't want to tell.
But I bet r young Ron Lemon when he wasn't
still in bases and like to get after a little bit.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Well, Barnaby's was as big as any place in the Evansville, Ellensboro,
Henderson area. People would travel over from Evansville to go
to Barnaby's. They had it was crazy and the brass. Mmm,
maybe we shouldn't have asked you eight five N two
two eight seven. That's our phoneer if you want to
call and get on board. Uh, we have one minute
to the break. I don't want to have not enough
(22:03):
time to take this call, so we'll get retired ref
when we come back from from the break. We do
want to say the UK graduation is this weekend.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
UH.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
That details you a couple of things. Stay away from
downtown unless you have to do not drive through downtown.
But if you are coming up to the graduation, come
to Chaos Bar and Grill. We get a lot of
people with a lot of families to come out before
or after the graduation. So it's an all day event.
It's gonna be going on all weekend.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Yeah, I mean, it just completely takes over downtown. Congratulations
everyone graduating. We're gonna have some I guess some of
the basketball players maybe go.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Through it and grad I'm sure they probably will.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
But we'll have pictures and all that on the website
of any of the athletes that go through. But it's
it's here for everyone graduating UK.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Stay away from downtown. We're right back. This is COATEEIC
Sports Radio, TJ Smith personal injury attorney call TJ. He'll
make them pay.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
All right, welcome back, Thank you Sports Radio. Ryan, Drew, Shannon,
Billy Mario, the whole group's here. I got this on
the Avision Glass text machine. This guy obviously has my
cell phone. My father was an orthopedic surgeon in Louisville.
He said Derek Anderson's injury had to be misdiagnosed. He
told me at the time he has never heard of
an athlete ready to compete in two months post surgery.
(23:17):
And we'll never see another athlete again coming back from
an acl ACL injury like that, So we can't count
on that for the Jaden Quaintance return.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Well, maybe Deren Anderson was just like a tiny tear.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'm just
trying to make sense of it. Coming back after two
months after an ACL tear. That's at That sounds crazy And.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Those stories are legendary. How they were in Indianapolis at
the Final four and it was on the Sunday they
beat on the Saturday, they played Arizona on Monday. Oh goodness,
I can't remember who they played on Saturday and one
Minnesota is that it? How do we not know this?
(23:57):
It's my favorite season and team. Okay, this is the
ninety seven team. Yeah, I don't know. I don't have it.
I can't remember. Why are you covering the team? I was, Yeah,
I was. That was thirty years ago. Yeah, I was eleven.
That's why my memories. Somebody to look it up. And
so they practiced on Sunday, a full practice. It was Minnesota.
There we go Minnesota, and uh, Derek Anderson practiced on
(24:20):
that Sunday in between the two games, full practice and
was the old Derrick Anderson like practice, lights out. And
then Patino still did not want to play him in
the Monday championship game, although if you remember, he did
let him go out and.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Shoot two free throws, shot free that made it worse.
I do remember that very well. My boy, he's in now,
where's he been the whole time?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah? I wish he was shooting the free throws that
Nazi Mohammad shot that night, because Nazy was zero of
six and they got beat by Arizona. Could have been
the rare college three peat, could have been a five
two seven. After Clarks publish out phone him all right,
I had some breaking news Shannon, right before the show
started today.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Do you want the sounder or shoot.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
The TBT? Tournament announced that they are not going to
be playing in Lexington this year. They will again be
playing back in Louisville because the ticket sales went a
lot more sold from the Louisville fans and they.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Got four thousand. I mean, we still host the games
of morel but this is the regional final. Regional final,
they're still lexinging games. But Louisville won the contest. Those
losers they care a lot more than any other team
in this because they don't have any other tournament success lately.
But we will be heading back to Louisville if it
gets to.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
That point, but the first two games again would be
here in Lexington.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Horriman is three. I don't have a three games. I
mean everything that's been promoted and sold, it's still memorial.
But there was a contest just for the regional frontal
whenever you just like last year, it was in Rop
for the whole first few rounds.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Then they had the one game in Louisville and they
base it on total ticket sales.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I want to say it was a race to four
thousand sold.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
And Louisville got it. Louisville one. A little disappointing. Billy
A little bit.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
But that means Kentucky will have a win in Freedom
Hall and then in the KFC Young Center in a
span of what a couple months, As long as Drew
doesn't get nucker punched on his way out, I think it.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Should be that's the main thing.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
We can. We wrap Drew and bubble wrap so he
doesn't get punched again.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I don't kidding.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, I don't think it hurt you too much, though
you kind of know sold them pretty well on that pot.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I can take a punch. I don't think they should
have been allowed. It's not just me getting hit. I
mean those losers were the biggest losers to ever lose
in that game. I mean, on Waku's spinning on Nate
Sustina fans winding everywhere.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
I mean, they showed their true.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Asses in a summer exhibition of guys were barely barely
young enough to still play basketball. So I think they
should have been banned. Of course, they sold more tickets
because they suck at the actual game. That's why they're
getting a host again. But I wish the tvt should
have said, no, you showed your asses last year, and
you're not allowed to host again. Reach it but I
will go back and I will do the exact same
thing I did last year. I will keep my l's
(26:46):
down for two hours and they can bring it again.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
You know they It ended up being kind of a
special win because you went, you beat Louisville on their
home court, and.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
They were so excited. They were so excited that they
were they talking so much, smack all the the you know,
the crowd majority of Louisville fans.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, it's when you went on an opponent's home floor,
it makes it a little special.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Yeah, and I had my run in with that weak
minded human, but the spitting who spits?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Who spits? Who spits?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
A grown man had a basketball game hawking a louis
on his opponent. Because they can't handle losing. They should
be good at losing, it's all they do. How have
they not learned how to be gracious losers?
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Yet?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Pope took the UK team with him all over there
to watch and support the guys.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Thank god they were up in a box. No telling
what would have happened to them around all those losers,
but they did win this contest. Congratulations on finally winning something.
I can't wait to see you there next summer losers
preach Drew. I'm wearing body armor.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
So it's it's it's set up. We're gonna happen again.
Kentucky takes care of business here at Memorial again, wins
those game. We're just gonna do it again. Beating Louisville
is what we do the Louisville the lexing games are
interrupt right.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Memorial Okay, and I announced that twenty seconds ago Memorial Coliseum. Sorry,
we got the Harrison Twins. They had the Harrison Twins,
so we got Drown Liggins, Harrison Twins, Willie several more
to come. I've heard a few rumors of who the why.
I don't want to say it, just in case they
have to bail. There's a lot of scheduling stuff, but
I know who they've targeted and had conversations with. We're
(28:18):
gonna be loaded again. But I'm glad the Twins are back.
It was a lot of fun watching them be a
part of it last year when they beat those losers
in Freedom Hall.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I hope Cstina's back too.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
I don't know if that's he should be the number
one pick if we can get him. He took it
so much more well they all took it seriously. I
don't want to minish the other guys, but he got
so into it and he played really well. You know,
he was on the Kentucky team that got robbed and
didn't have a tournament, so I think Nate was treating
that like his NCAA tournament.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
He was the best player on the TBT team.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
And Innis's little brother must bring him, bring him back.
He was the other star of the family. We got
Liggins with that lockdown d We'll go beat these losers
again in Freedom Hall.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
So even though the news is a little disappointing, it
still can make it just as sweet when you go
and win again this year. Yeah, it'll happen. It'll happen.
Marker callenders eight two two eight seven. Let's go to
the phone lines. We got Greg coming up next. Go ahead, Greg.
Speaker 8 (29:10):
Hey, guys, I thought i'd chip on on the JCLS.
I've torn mine, My two daughters are torn theirs, and.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
There's not a coach that's ever going to play a
player before.
Speaker 7 (29:21):
Six months is up.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
I mean, after two months you can jump around, walk
and run, but you put Derek Anderson. Anderson in there
at game speed, and he was going to ruin his
knee and if he could have played, if he was recovered,
Patina would have played him. But it's a six month
deal and somebody can prove me wrong. But I don't
think any players come out come back before six months.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Was out all I appreciate great thanks for the phone call. Yeah,
that's that. That kind of adds to the mystery of
that Derek Anderson incident. I mean they were the best
team and then with him they almost want it without him,
So with him, you got to think they would have
beat Arizona and Miles Simon and Mike Bibbie in that group.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
That is that the most famous UK injury that's cost him.
I know there's been some some big ones, but is
that that probably adds a title, a banner to the rafters.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
His injury doesn't happen because it happened in January. You know,
when they were making their big run. Was it three
when Keith Bogan's got hurt three? Yeah, right before that
springed ankle he got in the Elite eight in the
Sweet sixteen against Wisconsin. He tried to play against Marquette
in the Elite eight.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
I still think we have a banner of Alex Poythers
didn't hurt because Wisconsin doesn't, doesn't or we have someone
to guard uh Sam Decker in that bunch. This is
not a fun exercise.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
No, I mean the Newlands and Noel injury forwarded that season.
But it wasn't the championship run or anything they were
making at the time. They go to the tournament that year.
Not in the n I T losing to Robert Morris,
was it.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
PJ Washington had a thumb injury, played through it and
missed all those free throws.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Yes, PJ in the boot, that's what was at his
most I haven't seen him, haven't seen him. We were
getting I haven't seen him daily.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Uh. But the PJ the hits a couple those free throws.
They may went beat Kansas State and ed up in
the final four. That's another final four. They could have
had half of last year's roster, half of last year's roster.
That's also Kurk Crisa absolutely, Jackson Robinson, what if he
stays healthy the whole year. Last year you have Andrew
Carr for that big stretch to change things. That's a
(31:19):
fun game. Last year was probably the most injury prone
where it happened to more than one guy. You know,
you had it had three or four guys go go down.
Major players go down. It hurts when you got one guy.
But that team last year, man, they lost so many
key pieces.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Yeah, I mean losing Robinson. You don't have him to tournament.
That's one of the biggest. There's been other individual injuries,
but I can't think of a team that just had
as many across the board.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Eight five, nine, two, two two eight ten. We got
Paul up next, Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (31:45):
Paul, Yeah, on the ACL tear. If they had him
doing hyperbaric oxygen treatments before and after surgery, he could
very well be up on it and playing. It would
increase the healing by probably four times.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
All right, did they have that kind of procedure in
nineteen ninety seven, Yes, Okay, well maybe that's what they did.
Speaker 7 (32:15):
It's just a Yeah, it's a chamber that you go
in one hundred percent oxygen that's compressed and it takes
your body's natural healing ability times a thousand. But to
get there, you'd have to do you know, twenty to
forty treatments, two hour treatments, and you do them consecutively.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
All right, Greg a phone call. Appreciate that. I mean,
they're the advances in medicine now, I'm sure has helped
Jaden Quainton's get ready. Is his terror as bad as
Derrick Cannerson's tear? I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Yeah, I mean, I love that he's shooting for mid
September for full contact, but I'm gonna I'm not gonna
write that down in sharply that he will be a
part of the team to start the year. That would
be pretty impressive.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
He sees to believe it, Billy. He's been telling every
that's the right attitude to have. It's right.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Yeah, And I'm sure that helps in the recovery process
as well. If you have an optimistic mindset, then you're
gonna do everything with one hundred and ten percent effort. Ryan,
I'm surprised you were such an athlete. You didn't tear
anything sliding into a base or never major injuries like that.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Well, it was a fine tuned athlete, you know. I was,
you know, the elite of the elite that don't get
hurt like that. I did break my finger, like during
my senior year of fall baseball. I'd missed the whole
fall season because I broke a bone in my throwing
hand and my coach made me run cross country. Are
you on the cross country team? I was a Kentucky
Wesleyan baseball player and cross country run.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Wait a minute, We've always known about these records you
have in baseball, but I didn't know you were a
two sports star.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
My baseball coach who just turned eighty years old, we
just went to see him Sunday. God bless him, Dinny Pots.
He was also the cross country coach for a couple
of years. If you got hurt during baseball season, guess
where your butt into day running on the cross country team.
Stay in shape, Solthough, like the handful of us running
cross country.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
For one year, it sound like you didn't have a
choice needed to keep you all condition, otherwise you would
have been at brasses every night or whatever you wrote too.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I think I ran in three meets and finished last
or next to last, and all three of them so
simply choke. Yeah, I was simply joking. You're so funny. Alright,
two A tip over right back, Ryan Drew, Shannon Billy.
This is connect Sports Radio. Welcome back, can Tekan Sports Radio.
This nickelback it is.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, this is back on the first album when they
were really popular.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Well, there's a documentary on Netflix we talked about during
the break about Nickelback. I think it came out maybe
a year or so ago, and I just saw it
just while you guys were off in Arizona. It's really
really good because it talks about how they were so
popular then people started hating them, and it talks about
how it affected those guys. You know, they were they
(34:48):
were as popular as anybody, and all of a sudden
it became a real hot trendy thing to not like Nickelback.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Well that's because they were writing songs like this that
were actually good to songs like this, and that's when
they started to get hated when they put out rock
Star and they put out Photograph.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
But I mean, that's still a good Sorry, that's what
I like.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Let's see, when you're Nickelback and you appealed to the
Rascal Flat fans. I think that's why they got hated
on Ryan is right here.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
He can hear you. Rascal Flats, that's your other band. Yeah, yeah,
I kind of falling off the Rascal Flats bandwagon because
they called it quits. But I've always liked Nickelback. I
never understood why they all that Nickelback eight that was
going on for soul.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
You're saying that's a good documentary. I should go watch
on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
It's really good because they really get personal with the guys,
how it affected them and their families. Their kids would
go to school and other kids would make fun of
their dads and Nickelback and stuff.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
You know.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Yeah, really, it's really good.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
So it all started with Creed. Creed was really popular.
They got this treatment first. Then it kind of spread
over to Nickelback after that. But now Creed's cool again.
Creed's cool with the TikTok crowd, the younger crowd, and
I I think Nickelback's cool again, aren't they. Well yeah,
I'll put it like this. We started playing Creed again
on QMF and we didn't plan for years. But now
we're back to playing Creed, but we're not playing Nickelback.
(36:08):
So I don't know if that changed.
Speaker 6 (36:10):
It.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Don't know if that says anything about either their popularity
or our programming.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
You know, Nickelback, don't you be of course?
Speaker 6 (36:16):
And I don't know if it's people that just want
free stuff. But when Shannon and I gave away Creed tickets,
I mean, you would have thought we were given away
free money.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Yeah, Beatles tickets or something that people, Yeah, knocking down
people trying to get through the lines.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Well, I was hoping to go see Creed this summer,
but now the Three Doors Down, who was not their opener.
I know if they're co headlining or before Creed, but
he announced yesterday of cancer diagnosis and Three Doors Downs
done touring, and I'm sure that will affect the the
Creed concert up.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Bad news for what's his name.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Shannon brad Arnold on the nicest guys you get ever,
but I've had a chance to interview him a couple
of times. Really good guy, and really it's sad to
see that come out stage stage four kidney cancer and
they've shut down the hoteur well for Three Doors Down.
I don't know if that see. I just assumed that
they were going to cancel the entire tour with Creed,
which meant Creed wasn't going to play Rupperina. But I
(37:08):
haven't heard officially if they're going to cancel Creed's part
of it and maybe pick up another opening band, I'm
not sure.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
There's like five or six bands I've read. Some have
already been canceled, but there might they're hopeful maybe slide
something in for three Doors Down as replacement.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
I'm not sure, but it just awesome news. Brad Arnold,
there you go. Alice Blue Gown can open up for him.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Ah, yeah, we play for sure. Yeah, we're gonna be
playing the Virginia. We just announced that KSR is going
to be coming to Summerset June the sixth at the Virginia,
which is this really nice old theater, and we're gonna
be playing there with the band that night.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah, so I'll be hanging out for the entire day
and night morning and uh and no, not a Winesboro,
that's Summerset. Yeah, Summerset, Summerset on June sixth.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Well, you played your new song earlier and when I
didn't catch it, can you play it again? Next hour?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Being to play it to set up this conversation we're
having now, and you completely ignored it.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
So no, no, I have adhd I forgot that one.
Speak of speaking of concerts, are real birds coming up
in Lexington into this month right May thirty, first June first, oh,
you're asking and you're telling, right, we have the parking
spots available for sale over at Chaos Bar and Grill.
(38:20):
So you all you gotta do is go to the
Chaos Bar and Grill social media accounts. They've got the
links there where you could buy a parking pass and
we're not gonna let you just go in and park
and walk over. You got to buy a pass to
park and walk over. It's the best parking you're going
to have. We got some good security out there, good security, Griff,
we had Griff. We had the OVW wrestlers out there
that one year.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
It's right, no offense of them. I thought Griff was
a little more organized. His guy's shirt organized. Guys had
shirts on, but that I had their security name on it.
Both were great though well.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Had spectacular and immaculate Joe Mack slapping people's cars because
they weren't going the right way. But yeah, that is
uh May thirty first, in June first, you did.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
So the parking is really good. That is good.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
I'm not just saying that as someone with Chaos Bar.
I've attended every Railbird and the one over Red Mile.
It was a very short walk and even just like
leaving to go get lunch and a few drinks and
get some air conditioning at Chaos Bar. Check on my car,
you know, whatever you need to do, then head back over.
It's very convenient, So.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Go to the Chaos Bar social media accounts. There's a
link there you can sign up by your pass. Before
we take our top of the hour break, I do
want to bring up there's a there's been a movement
in Kentucky where they're trying to get a one year
free transfer rule for high school athletes where you could
transfer from one school to another free, not have to
sit out a year. What's gonna be. It looks like
(39:39):
KHSA and the people are gonna shoot it down. They're
gonna stay kind of maintained with the rule they got. Now,
if you transfer to school, you will be investigated if
you can show proof of residents that you actually physically moved,
or if your parents split up and you moved, or
you know, there's some things you can do. But there
was a movement guys to try to get a one
year free transfer rule. Transfer anywhere you want for free
(40:01):
and not be investigated or losing you have to sit
out a year.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
You as the high school sports guy and the traditionalist.
I'm sure you're glad they're not letting them move around.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
I am glad about that. I mean, I understand the
world we live in and people are transferring, But if
the family physically moves to that school district, I don't
know what you can do. And it's happening all the time.
Maybe for football and basketball, you know, I think you
could transfer in tennis, golf, some of the minor sports
and not ever get investigated. But you do it in
(40:32):
football or basketball, you will get investigated by the KHSAA.
You have to prove proof of residency in that school district.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Was it Zion Harmon That seemed like he was at
a different high school every other month.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Yeah, there's been some kids around here who've played for
four different schools in five years or four years. So
what do you think about it? I agree with you
that I'm glad they're doing it well.
Speaker 6 (40:52):
It's no secret that private schools have an advantage over
public schools because they recruit to their sports, right, right,
do they still have to set out if a kid
goes to a private school.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
I don't think so. Okay, I think you go to
a private school, you don't have to have that sit
out rule. I don't think that's the case.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
Well, that doesn't seem fair for the public schools. So
this would be a way to even the playing field
a little bit. But are we incentivizing you just going
to the school that gives you the best chance to
win a championship? Do we need to be incentivizing that
in high school?
Speaker 3 (41:19):
You know, because they're you know, Saint X and Trinity
in Louisville, they get kids from Indiana. They recruit like,
let's not act like they don't.
Speaker 6 (41:26):
So it's like, do you want the public schools to
be able to get kids for maybe with the transfers
without sitting out a year. It seems like it's plausible,
but there's a lot of tradition that they'll have to
get over. There's a lot of movement for it because
the colleges now have it with a transfer portal, Right,
you can go from school to school.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
And not have to sit out. Trying to try to
translate that in Downe the high school though, but it
looks like the KHSAA is saying least right now, ain't happening.
Ain't happening right now. Maybe in the future, But ain't
happening right now? All right? That I'll do it for
our number one. We'll be back our number two eight
five nine two eight h two two eight seven. We
got a draft coming up, another ASR draft. This one's
a little off the walls. We'll take your calls as well.
(42:04):
This is Ryan Drew, Shannon, Billy Mariol. This is Connecting

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
