Speaker 3 (00:59):
We are here at ks R and Golf Scramble sponsored
by Clark's Pumping Shop and Corn bred him.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
He ain't good to see you like to like always
see him. Familiar faces out here. There's some people I
think who've played in this almost every year.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
We got I was waiting before I made this announcement,
but I think it's gonna happen at the forty six
Solutions Hole. You get to pick your own walk up
music and they're gonna play your walk up You did
you walk up to the to the t of the team.
You gotta be thinking about what.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
You're walking to walk up music.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yes, you tell them what you're what your walk up
music to be, and they'll play it a forty six
Solutions hole before you t off.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
I actually kind of like that.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah's a good idea.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
That's that's a really good idea. Forty six. I don't
see them on the list here.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I don't know what hole they got. They're coming, They're out,
they're coming.

Speaker 5 (01:41):
Out here, old fifteen. I got them right here.

Speaker 6 (01:42):
They got the hole there, they're on course.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
They're on the white course, all right, So get the
Rick Ross ready. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Eight eight oh twenty two eighty seven text Machine seven
seven two seven seven four five two five four Shannon,
I knew you'd like the story. The SEC is now
imposed a five hundred thousand dollars fine on all court
or field storming, no warnings, five hundred thousand dollars every
single time you do it. They say their goal is

(02:11):
to make it to where no one ever does it.
My question for you, good idea, bad idea, and do
you think anyone will still do it?

Speaker 7 (02:20):
Naive idea if you think that's actually going to stop
anybody from rushing the court or the field, Because again,
it's not our money.

Speaker 6 (02:26):
What do I care?

Speaker 7 (02:27):
So if I'm a fan of a team that just
upset a top ranked team, I'm not gonna go, oh yeah,
five hundred thousand dollars, That's not even gonna cross my mind.

Speaker 6 (02:35):
I'm gonna be on the field.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Do you think schools now Ryan will like encircle it
with security to make sure, like you know, I mean,
if you're if you're Mitch Barnhardt and Kentucky plays Old
Miss and the fourth corner starts and you're up ten,
are you like bringing the police force out to try
to keep the students off the field.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I think they'll probably do that, and they'll probably try that,
Like Shannon said, it's gonna be hard to up twenty
thousand people trying to rush the field and you got
five police officers down there.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
Yeah, so try it.

Speaker 7 (03:06):
You're gonna end up having a bigger problem when somebody
gets hurt because of police officers, you know, tasing somebody
or something like that.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
I think I like this because we see it more
happening in the UK. Basketball. Just happened last year, happens
to us every year, and now the new rule as
of last year as the other team gets to pocketed,
so sure, run up that that tab because the UK, right.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
I mean Vanderbilt, you remember when the when the athletic
director was trying to stop him. The way this rule
goes is you pay the team that you were playing against.
And for Kentucky basketball, I mean this is great. Yeah,
this is a chance to if you lose, have the
consolation prize of you know, you can go pay for

(03:51):
half a kid out of the portal if you lose
next year.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Because of how it works, that's exactly what's gonna happen.
And I hope they never go away with it because
some of my group best memories of going to Corkerfield
with my kids are storming the field. A couple of times.
I mean, I love that. I love this morningything.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
I still have a scar on my leg from storming
the field.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Probably the biggest scar on my body is my leg
from two thousand and seven storm in the field Kentucky
Louisville football.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
I got. I was bleeding profusely, and I love it.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Actually every minute of it.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
That's sick, you know, Drew or Mario.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
When I'm interviewing Mark Pope, if you go back and
look at that video, I start bleeding down my leg.
Have you have you seen Mario tries to frame it out.
No one seems to have noticed, So I can say
it now. If you go back and look at that video,
all of a sudden, I'm scratching my leg and I'm bleed.
Like the last thirty minutes Flair just blaeding during interviews.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
I didn't notice until it was over.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Mario was like, look at your leg, and I had
blood all the way down my leg. That was picking
at the of the scar of the two thousand and
seven UK Louisville football game. It sometimes scabs up, but
the thing is my bloody Mark Pope leg reminds me
of Stevie getting loose in two thousand and seven, so I.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
We don't get those interviews as much. If you're going
into the building and just bleeding everywhere.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
And the head coach your scar is like a badge
of honor.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Though it is kind of a badge of honor, So
I do I get why they do it, you know,
I mean DeMarcus Cousins one time almost knocked the dude
out at South Carolina. There have been a lot of
those situations, So I get why they do it, Drew,
but it is kind of a shame because it it
gives like this special thing in college sports.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
Yeah, it will be interesting to see how different teams
try to combat it, because you can. You know, you
spend one hundred thousand dollars to prevent it's still gonna
save money if you know it's coming. I don't know,
maybe you put up a barbire might be a little extreme,
but maybe some form.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Of barbar that might be jumping.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Lazy fans trying to build a wall around the Vanderbilt.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Maybe we'll get.

Speaker 5 (05:59):
To where have like hockey rinks. Yeah, the boards around there.

Speaker 7 (06:02):
It's just a way for the bad teams though, to
stay bad, and the good teams yet better.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
The College Football Hall of Fame changed their rules yesterday.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
I have mixed emotions about this. So they had a
rule that.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
In order to make the College Football Hall of Fame,
you had to have a sixty percent winning percentage sixty percent.
Mike Leach, who passed away just over a year ago,
Rest in peace.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Mike Leach had.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
A fifty nine point seven percent winning percentage, so by rule,
he was not going to be able to make the
College Football Hall of Fame by rule. College Football Hall
of Fame amended their rules yesterday to say you only
have to have a fifty nine point five.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Percent winning percentage.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
So they went from sixty percent to fifty nine point
five in a rule, in a change that's clearly meant
for Mike Leach. Ryan, I think there's a good argument
Mike Leech should be in the College Football Hall of Fame.
He revolutionized the way the passing game works. It happened
here at Kentucky. He's a great coach. He won in

(07:08):
places where you don't win, like Texas Tech, Washington State,
Kentucky is an offensive coordinator. With all that set and actually,
I think you can make an argument that you shouldn't
have a winning percentage.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
At all on the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 8 (07:22):
Go.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
But with all that set, you can't amend the rules
for one person to sixty to fifty nine point five.
They didn't even move it to fifty nine fifty nine
point five, right, I just feel like you can't do that, right.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
You know, I'm kind of a numbers guy, and I've
always been around up game.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
You're I'm around up. I always thought you didn't seem right.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, I'm always I'm always rounding up. So you know,
he's fifty nine point seven rounded up at sixty percent.
That's clearly to me, that's close enough. He did everything
that should be a rounding up, a round up, just
round up. Okay, that's why they put a fifty nine
point five rounded up to sixty.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Okay, I thought of that as a position.

Speaker 7 (08:01):
But all right, I thought, for sure, Matt, you and
I would disagree on this. I thought you would take
the opposite stance. But you're saying exactly what I think.
You can't start just bending the rules because of one person.
Wouldn't gonna do next time? When Okay, there's a guy
who we think belongs in the Hall of Fame, and
he got exactly so that if you keep moving it,
then you know why even have that number dep.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
If they make the decision, no requirement at all, that's it.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
If you want to do that, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
But to change it by point five just so happens
the one year a guy who's like fifty nine points in.

Speaker 7 (08:32):
I just and how do we know that Mike Leach
would even want that charity half a point? He may
not even want that if he were still with it,
We don't know.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
I'm all for it. You gotta get the powered in.
If it was anybody else, I might be against it,
but Mike Leach has gotta get I love changes, and
they're not just changing it for one person. Any coach
that's fifty nine point five above is now.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
No, it's just a coincidence. And there was this guy
who just died.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
I'm all. I liked them like Lane Kiffin and some
of his rival coaches even tweeted support of it. It's
just of all guys I can, I can do it.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
Because he was a nice, funny guy.

Speaker 6 (09:04):
That's what.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
It's a legitimate case to be in the Hall of Fame.
I do, but I don't think the legitimate cases. Let's
change the rules so he can make the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Major League Baseball, the NBA, the NFL. None of those
have a winning percentage requirement. So I'm fine with getting
rid of it. But I just don't think you can
change it from one guy to whatever, to.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Tye to today. Man, at any point, will you kick
your golf ball just a little bit from to get
out from behind the tree. That's kind of what we're
doing here with Mike Leaps. We're just giving it a
little nuice, Mike. We're just kind of being in the
rules just a little bit. You're saying he's kicking Mike
from behind the tree. You're talking about being honest and
sticking to the rules. I'm sure today you might be
just tean it up in the rough, is what you're saying. Yeah,

(09:46):
they're just he's a gimmey.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
We're coming out like I would.

Speaker 7 (09:49):
Man.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Probably two or three times in my career I've teed
it up in the rough, just just two or three
and that's it. And so all right, maybe maybe you're right.
It's up next, Nico, go ahead and go.

Speaker 9 (10:02):
Hey, I had a basketball question. If that's okay, go
for it. Who were okay? If you had to have
the top three Kentucky basketball players to do a wide
open three to save your life.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Well in UK history.

Speaker 9 (10:21):
Yeah, Mike number one, Toby Brea to Reach Shepherd, three,
Dante Allen.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
That's an interesting threesome. I don't know that I would have,
all right, So that's a good question. You got three
guys wide open that you gotta have to save your
life shoot threes, all right.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
I appreciate the call. I'm gonna go.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
If they're wide open, because I think it's a different
question if you're having like Jamal Murray was amazing coming
off the drib or whatever. But wide open, I'm gonna
go Kobe Breya, Darron Lamb.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
And Travis Ford.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Travis Ford wide open again, Travis Ford would took. His
career percentage is lower because that second year when Mashburne
was gone, he took a lot of contested shots because
he wasn't open all the time. But if you go
to the ninety three when he was getting a lot
of open looks, his percentage was different. My honorable mentions

(11:23):
would be Antonio Reeves, Jody Meeks. Those are my honorable mentions.
What about you if it was contested? My answer would
be Jamal Murray, Malik Monk and who Andrew Harrison in
the in the tournament? Yes, Amor, you're a dead man. Actually,

(11:49):
I'll say, if it's contested, like really contested, Murray meeks
and give me Rob Dillingham because when he was contested.

Speaker 6 (11:56):
He'd make a lot of your life on the line.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
No, but if you're talking.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Wide open, I'm taking Brea, I'm gonna take Lamb and
I'm gonna take Ford.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
I know Lamb's gonna be one of yours. Who's the
other two? I got lam Why don't we need the
other two? I'm good, I'm live. He's knocking it down.
I like your Travis Ford with the Madisonville connection. I'm
gonna go off the grid. He's probably not in anyone's mind,
but I trust toler you liss in that moment. Okay,
he could knock down the open three. He couldn't create
for himself more of the pressure. And I trust my

(12:25):
life when Tyler.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Give me what?

Speaker 3 (12:27):
So give me what do you like my contested ones
of Dillingham, Monk's a great one and Murray.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
As a kid, because those dudes could hit some contested shots.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
Yeah, all right, So I really like Antonio Reeves. He's
gonna be my thing. Antonio Antonio hit contested with two.
You're gonna take Reeves open? What about you?

Speaker 3 (12:44):
The question was if Tony Delk's good, although his percentage
isn't always as great.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
As you think it is, if you go back and look,
but go ahead.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
The caller said, if our life depended on it, if
there's one guy that hit the biggest shots that I've seen,
it's Andrew Harrison, I gotta pick him.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Andrew and.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Looks at the twins, picks the wrong twin and ends
up on death row.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Okay, so I'm taking Aaron Harrison, I'm taking Antonio Reeves,
one of the best three point shooters. I'm taking Reed Sheppard.
Those are my three shots.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
So you have three completely different ones and me. All right,
Prince Okay.

Speaker 7 (13:20):
I don't remember his percentage, but I feel like Keith
Bogan shot the Paul pretty well.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
He did, but he it was it was he'd be
more for me a contender in the contestant.

Speaker 6 (13:30):
What I think third would probably be Kobe Brea.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
See I will say Kobe Brey's percentage went down after
Jackson Robinson got hurt and he had to take more shots.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
But if you go back and watch the first.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Half of the year, when that team was healthy, when
that dude was open, it was it.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
I mean when he was open, it was it.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Now at the end of the year he had to
take more contested looks and it changed. But I I
felt like when he when at the beginning of the
year it was money.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah, and he became more of a complete player. Kings
were closing out on him, so he learned to get it.

Speaker 7 (14:02):
He did create his own shot just to summarize. Matt
Drew and myself for alive Ryan instead.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Yeah, put young guy, he said, Andrews, that's what you said. First.

Speaker 5 (14:13):
I feel safe with Devin Booker as long as it's
not the month of February and that when he had
his bad run.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yes, true, Devin.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
Devin had a heck of a conversation too.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah, that's actually very good.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
By the way, the final NBA UH draft mock like
top sixty players now has Kobe Bray and a Maury
Williams in it. By the way, what's once some of
those guys went back to college, so some people got
out of it. It has uh, Kobe Bray and a
Maury Williams in the top sixty.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
Mara going to the Knicks too, because they need a
little big man help.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
So that'd be awesome for a Mari if he finds
a way to the league after Direct Sol and all that,
who's next?

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Actually, you know what, keep him? I'll do it right
after this Shady Rays.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Hopefully the sun will come out and you'll need Shavy
Raise at least for part of this. Shady Raids sunglasses
promo code ks R. Are they out here? Yes they are.
They're out here on whole fourteen on the blue Course.
So you go to Shady Rays Shady Rays dot com
check them out. Best sunglasses used, ks are best protections.
That's all at Shady Rays one near you or online.
We'll take a break and be right back. This Kentucky

(15:15):
sports radio Ryan Saint Andrew Harrison makes me think he
would also say his favorite musician in Lexington is Dwight Perry,
which I think it's actually a really good line. I mean,
I was with you, the Dwight Perry man. Yeah, I
like you saying, Andrew, see you'll be the only person
with him.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Well, you know, by my life did depend on it.
So I think I got messed up, tells you where
my life's gonna go.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
One person.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Down the toilet.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Don't be so down it. Come on, Ryan, you got
you got your you got your household to yourself.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Now I got an empty nest syndrome kicking in. I
was so excited. Now tomorrow'll be like I'll be crying.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
No, don't leave this.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
One person writes, if it was in practice, I would
take Josh Carry or he never missed in practice.

Speaker 5 (15:59):
That's what they always used to say. Two best practice
players Kentucky's ever had or Josh Carry or Matt Pilgrim.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
Matt Pilgrim, that's right, he.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Was saw the old timer her texting me Derek Miller.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
He signed the lists.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah, yeah, he made a lot. Yes, took a lot
to uh as well. Jony Meeks. I had two lists,
neither of which had Jony Meeks. I feel like I
got to alter it because he does. He could get crazy.
I mean, Jony Meeks had two of the hottest games
I've ever seen in Kentucky. Player half the one again,
well three really. You had the game where he scored
all the points against Tennessee. You had the game against

(16:34):
Arkansas and then they he played something like Appalachian State
in Louisville and had like forty eight or something.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
In that game.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
When he got hot and he'd hit the shot, the
net wouldn't even move. I mean it was just right
down the middle.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
If you ever, if you ever liked me, and I
probably do this more than most people, and you just
go watch old UK highlights sometimes on YouTube. There is
no highlight mix better in Kentucky basketball history. Then someone
has a mix up of Jody Meeks's fifty four point
game and if you watch that mix, it's awesome because
he's awesome. And then they always flash to the Tennessee

(17:10):
Bitch and Bruce Pearl and those dudes are like, what
do we do?

Speaker 4 (17:15):
And you're right.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
The net does not nd in that game in Knoxville.
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
I watch a lot of old UK stuff on YouTube,
but that one comes up a lot. The bench shot.
I think it might be Wayne Chisholm aute, that's.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
Who it is.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah, if you're in terms of great the best set
of videos on about UK on the internet is Daniel
Hager has against some of our biggest rivals one basket
in every game we've played against them. Since like night,
he picks like the best basket against in every game
we played against Louisville and every game we played.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
Against Tennessee North Carolina. That's really awesome.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
And then the Meeks Tennessee and then the Monk North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
The highlights of that Monk North Carolina. Those are two awesome.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
I told you that North Carolina Kentucky game is the
best game I've seen in person, to see it live.
That was just a shootout that game.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
And one more, Antonio Reeves at Arkansas. If you go
look at that one, that's another crazy one when he
goes off down at Arkansas.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
Who's next? Rick d rent is up next, b Rent,
go ahead.

Speaker 10 (18:21):
And thanks for taking my call too quick football questions,
with this being like the least anticipated season I can
ever remember, how much of that do you think falls
on stoop in the staff?

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Well, I mean most of it, right.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Part of it's the performance of I mean I would
say eighty percent of it is last year, not just
going four and eight, but the way the season went,
the discipline issues, buying hot dogs in the crowd, I
mean all that, And then I do think twenty percent
of it is just the marketing of this they've done.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
They've made the conscious decision to not.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Really talk or promote during the year, to sort of,
quote unquote let their actions do the talking. And you know,
maybe they'll be valueing that, but it's led to there
being no excitement about the team for sure.

Speaker 11 (19:11):
Hey, second thing, everybody wants to know about Calazada, obviously,
but you know, since I can't remember a starter last
in the WHOST season, I want to know about Cutter
Bowley and how he's progressed.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
That's a great question.

Speaker 11 (19:22):
Do we know anything about him?

Speaker 10 (19:23):
Is he ready?

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Yeah? I appreciate the call.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
We have not had a starter play every game in
the season.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Since win we did Levis's first year.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
I don't think he did either. He last one.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Wow, Wow, it's been a minute.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Then, Yeah, when would it be like Andre Woodson?

Speaker 5 (19:46):
Surely it's not that far back. But I can't think
of what.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Might be if Lewis missed a game, then I think
it's Andre Woodson.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Quarterbacks get hit in the SEC and it's usually an
NFL lineman that's hitting you.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
So that's a fair question. What do we know about
Cutter Bowley because he's probably play.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Apparently he had a really good offseason, Like they were
really impressed with his work ethic and getting in the
film room and trying to become a better quarterback off
the field, those sort of things. So I think they
were really happy with what he did in the off season.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
This is the best two deep at quarterback they've had
a long time. I don't think it's gonna be a
competition at all. I think it's Kalzada's job through the fall.
But Cutter's not that far behind him, and if he
has to come in, I think you'd be more comfortable
with him than you've been with the backup coming in forever.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
Who's third?

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Even in the even though the spring scrimmage we couldn't
see a whole lot, they went to Cutter pretty quickly
with the ones and it wasn't a big drop off
at least in that one.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Who's the freshman Stone Saunders.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yeah, we have bo Allen still around. If you ever
go out.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Deep, yeah, yeah, I mean that's a great point by
the collar. Cutter Bowley's gonna play if you go through history,
because we always have our guy get hurt, So I
mean he's he is probably gonna play. So hopefully he's
improved there were moments in that Texas game where he looked,
you know, he had moments.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
He kind of grew. I think these time out there
grew a little bit more, and I thought, I think
this future is really bright. Is he may get it
this sparingly minutes this year?

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah? Who's next?

Speaker 6 (21:06):
Joe was up next?

Speaker 4 (21:07):
Joe? Go ahead, Joe. Guys.

Speaker 12 (21:10):
I got to follow the questions of that last call.
I get the saying, you know, John Caliper the last
couple of years, thank fantasy, what are you doing? But
with Mark Steups, I'm getting the fans for actually behind him,
the root for him to succeed. What do you guys
get drug you're saying.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Are you saying to me you think the fans are
we're waiting for Cal to fail and are rooting for
Stoops to succeed?

Speaker 4 (21:34):
Or was it the opposite your phone was breaking up?

Speaker 12 (21:37):
No, I think I think that they could care less
when Cal succeeding or not. They retired of this lip,
and I think for actually rooting for Stoops to succeed,
to get this across the finish line.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah, I mean, I think in general, I appreciate the call.
I think in general, if you asked our fan base,
do you like Mark Stoops is a person and as
a coach. I think most people's answers would be yes.
I see one person shaking their head no, but most
people's answers would be yes. So I do think they'd
like to see him succeed. But I just don't think

(22:08):
most of our fan base has the confidence, right.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
I do you agree with that?

Speaker 2 (22:11):
I think that's very fair me personally, I want him
to succeed. I want him to get back to where
we used to be. I just don't know if the
talent is there this year to do it.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
He's right, there were some people at the end of
the cal Era who were just done with cal I
don't get the sense that's the truth. I think this
is like the last year of Tubby, where people like
didn't think it was gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
They wanted him to like to Tubby, but they just
didn't think it would.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
Yeah. I think working against Stoops as there's a coach
out there, a lot of people want No. It's not
the majority of the fan base, but I think some
are ready to just go one and rip the band
aid off now and not miss out on a potential
alumni coming back.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
I love this place. This is probably terms of being
in Lexington. Come and play in a public course. I'm
not sure you can find a better situation.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
They used to play out here a lot when it
was the Players Club back in the day started as
a players to them they had two court, three courses.
I think out here at one point two nines and
an eighteen.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah, I think it's just a to eighteen.

Speaker 5 (23:03):

Speaker 5 (23:47):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Jack Harlow Shannon released his shoes.

Speaker 6 (23:50):
I saw that.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Did you see that?

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Where he has in this a map of the Highlands
in the insol I got to I saw my street
like he's just.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
He's got like I was good for your street. I
saw it on there, it's on there.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Yeah, I don't worry about that. You don't have to
do that.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
I mean people can figure it out, probably, but they
it's kind of neat to have that little triangle. I
didn't know, like apparently his parents lived on my street
at one a few streets over. But it's kind of cool.

Speaker 6 (24:19):
That's it is. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (24:20):
I mean how many people can say that their street
is on Jack harlow shoe or anybody or anybody's shoe
for that matter, going to get.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Them indoor soccer cleat So I don't know that I
would ever have any reason to wear it because I'm
not playing indoor soccer.

Speaker 7 (24:34):
If you go back to the we did a remote
with the soccer club, you try to get one.

Speaker 6 (24:39):
Past the goalie.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
For my Sunday Morning Matt Myron Show, they're bringing the
uh voice of Dupin Schmirts for Phineas and Firm. They're
gonna have us have a duf and Schmirtz all nice's brilliant.
So I'm going to try to sound like sound more
like Dufin Schmertz than the guy who does the duf

(25:04):
and Schmert's voice on Sunday Morning.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
They whe you agree to that.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Well, they made me record all this stuff where I
go pay the platypus.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
And I do.

Speaker 13 (25:15):
It.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
What's funny is I've never even seen that shows like
I don't even know.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
I just I guess I naturally sound like that guy.

Speaker 7 (25:21):
I had never even heard of it before. Then I
looked it up and I go, that does sound.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Well when they they had me listen to his yea
and then they had me do it, and I think
I sound more like him than he does.

Speaker 6 (25:33):
You better watch out. I mean you may take its
job one day.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
So that will happen on Sunday morning on Matt Myers.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Once you hear the guy on Phineas and Ferb.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
He does kind of sound like me did on you
can't hear it. I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Tyler Thompson wrote this morning. Uh, trying to give Mark
Pope a grade for.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
This year's off season?

Speaker 3 (25:52):
What great would you give Mark Pope for off season
twenty twenty five? Basically since the day we lost to
Tennessee to Now, what grade would you give it?

Speaker 5 (26:02):
Pretty high? Trying to think even where his uh, what
his strikes would be. I guess he missed on a
couple of transfer transfer portal targets, like Yaxl the first
guard they went after. Other than that, you throw in
just being in the community with London, some of the
other stuff he's done. I gotta go in a I mean,
I don't know how to take away points.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Yeah, I mean, you know, I try to think, are Yeah,
I mean trying to I'm sitting there trying to go
what could you nit pick? I mean, I guess you
could nitpick that he didn't get his top point guard option.
I think he wanted Donovan dant or you know, but
I mean that's he got a really good guy, and

(26:44):
then he added a bunch of dudes we didn't think
he'd have any chance of getting. He had had a
guy from Croatia. We didn't even know it was a
human being on earth.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
So I guess he loses a Caden Lewis and Travis Perry,
But whatever about.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
Losing to Cave Lewis.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
I mean, I'm sad to see Travis go, but I
think that was inevitable. So I don't know, I think
you gotta give him an A. I can't really think.
I can't really think of what I would complain about.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, I think you guys kind of laid it out there.
You can't give him an A plus because of just
a couple of little minor blemishes. Well, but overall it's
an A. I mean, I think it's definitely an A
what he's done this offseason.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
And you're the most pessimistic any way, you can would give.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Him less than an A.

Speaker 7 (27:25):
No, if you're being fair, you're being honest, you got
to say an A. You know, he's brought in good transfers,
a couple within the sec. You got more experience this year,
you got more athleticism this year, you brought back otego away.

Speaker 6 (27:38):
I don't know how you don't give them.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
And the other thing is part of this job now
is raising in Aile money.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
I mean, let's be real.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
Part of the job is you have to get in
ale money to come in and depending on who you ask,
we either have the first, second, or third most money
spent this year. Some people think Saint John's is first,
some people think Michigan is first.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
But either way, we're in the top three. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
I mean, and the depth, dude, And this fan base
is unified, yes, I mean, this is a fan base
that really hasn't been unified since twenty fifteen, and it's
been and it's unified.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
Even the people who were you know, there's some people
last yearly in the year. I don't know if he
can coach, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
By the time he won those games in the tournament,
then my question was can he recruit?

Speaker 4 (28:24):
He's been able to do that. I don't. I don't
really know what else you could complain of.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
He's added to the scale. I mean, we have you
for dot down and Saint John's. The Louisville game been
in November stinks, but he blamed Pat Kelsey for that.
I like that. That's all Louisvill's fault.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
And he doesn't seem to be at all stubborn to say, hey, fans,
you want this, and no I'm telling you to stop.
I mean, that got old at the end of the
Calira the we care about the SEC tournament, and then
Cow goes, you shouldn't.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
You know, we want to play these games. You shouldn't.
We would like to see some dudes stay more than
a year. You shouldn't.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
I mean there was a sense where it was there
was a lecture to everything. I don't Pope doesn't really
do that.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
No, the things he said this offseason had been great.
Some stuff he said to you on the only interview
with you was fantastic. What he said about Travis Perry
was kind of endearing, you know how he said he
was devastating when Travis.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
I'm glad that he's even popped into these NBA games
we've seen photos of.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Carl Roberts kept the connection with those guys out of.

Speaker 5 (29:20):
His way to bridge that gap. I'm talking to myself
into n A plus.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Here, And I will also say, just on a completely
personal level, I was able to ask him questions that
there was probably never a moment with cal that I
would have been able to like looking at him and saying,
why do you substitute out all the good players right
when we have a lead and put the other guys in?
I thought his answer was completely reasonable, But I would

(29:44):
not have felt comfortable asking John cal Perry that he'd
have probably gotten mad if I asked that.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Pope seemed to not care at all.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
No, Pope was all that answer he gave. I think
all of us want to know why do you do that?
And he explained it. He explained it, and I came
away with like, okay.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Now, he said, basically, sometimes I'm thinking two or three
substitutions ahead, and he's you know, he used last year's example.
Maybe I have to bring in Travis Perry early because
I know I'm going to bring in Kobe Brea, and
I need to get Butler back in to cover up
for Braves and that. Yep, I mean that makes some
sense to me. Makes so who's up next? Matthew is next, Matthew,

(30:22):
go ahead, Matthew.

Speaker 8 (30:24):
Hey, what's up, matt How you doing doing good?

Speaker 4 (30:28):
Good? Hey?

Speaker 8 (30:28):
Few other names I thought of when we were talking
about the three point thing. Second year Emmanuel quickly was
pretty automatic.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
Ade how did we click? Yeah? He could.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
I'd rather have him with a floater with my life.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
You're right, though, when he was in that second year,
he was pretty automatic.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
That's a good call.

Speaker 8 (30:48):
Yeah, and then I thought of Kyle Wilcher that first year.
It seemed like every year he came off the bench
and made wonder well.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
He was wide open most of the time, so with
with with the rest of that team, he got to
shoot wide open, So you're right, yeah.

Speaker 8 (31:00):
And then the last one was Tyger Hero. You know,
I had so many games he made big three towards
the end, especially against Houston.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
I mean, he was pretty it was a huge shot.
That's right. Well, I appreciate the call.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Carl gets a big win last night, Carl Towns goes
to Game six, they'll play Saturday night in Indiana.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
You gotta be happy for him, right.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
And you know he bounced back. He had that with
possible He bang knees. I don't know how health he
was gonna be last night. He looked good. You know,
their season ends, you know in Game six, it's gonna
end with the Pacers.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Well, so I have a question for you about that.
You're mister Pacers guy. There's a controversy within the Pacers
fan base. Oh so, I don't know if you saw.
Pat McAfee was given the microphone at the start of
the fourth quarter for Game four, and he got on
there and he pointed at Spike Lee and Timothy shallow
May and Ben Stiller, the guys that were like something like, hey, hey,

(31:52):
all you New Yorkers that came down to here in Indiana,
Let's get this victory and send all these son of
a blank's back home.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
I saw it.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
I thought it was a little much like to point
at the guys and have everybody boom. But then your
boy John Mellencamp, John Mellencamp tweeted out and said, I
don't know who that was, but that doesn't represent Indiana.
He should apologize. So are you on Pat McAfee Pacers
fan or John Mellencamp Pacers fans sign? You know it's

(32:27):
Mellencamp was like, look, you know we want the Knicks
to lose, but those dudes are big time stars who
came all the way here to Indiana. We shouldn't have
called him out by name and said get out of here.

Speaker 7 (32:40):
Can I just say something on those John Mellencamp has
no problem singling out people who paid money to come
see them and tells them to shut the blank up.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
Everybody, because like if they were talking.

Speaker 6 (32:51):
Well, it's funny though that he's calling out.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Are you team McAfee or are you team Mellencamp on this?

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Yes, Mellencamp has become a grumpy, grumpy, grumpy old man
this apocrisy. Yeah, who's I'm on his side? I mean yeah,
I don't think McAfee should have used that word for sure,
because now we got it goes back to New York.
They're gonna our guys are gonna be there.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
McAfee the next day, the next Yeah, because didn't they
hit him hash Pasture the next day? McAfee did say
I didn't mean any disrespect by it.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Like really, yeah, really, I mean.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
Son of a blank in the nicest way possible. What
do you think I.

Speaker 7 (33:32):
Don't like either one of them, Mellen Camp or mcaffee.
I think I like well, I like Mellen Camp a
little bit better than mcaffee.

Speaker 6 (33:38):
So I guess I'm gonna side with Mellencamp.

Speaker 5 (33:40):
And though everybody's being soft, I'm one hundred percent mcaffee.
Of course, you boo the Knicks fans in your arena.
They were yelling f the pacers and hitting people with trash.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
They didn't hear ties can get.

Speaker 5 (33:51):
Booed for six seconds in the arena. I even saw
I spent uh probably read one hundred comments and replied
to a PACER's post. Even Pacers fans were telling me
Camp to shut up. They're like, this is what we're
supposed to do.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
So my question, why did the Pacers go ahead and
sell those seats on the floor to the Knick celebrities.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
I mean, I think the Pacers probably want to have
Ben Steeller and Timothy Shallomey or whatever sitting on the
front I mean, that's good for the city of India
or Indianapolis, but.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
They're the opposing team. I don't want the opposing team city.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
Okay, so we're playing We're playing Arkansas and Bill Clinton's
sitting president and he wants to come.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
You're not gonna sell him a seat up? Maybe Ron
make him go to.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
The top, Yeah, sit up there in the nosebleed section
for all like here. If you're gonna root for Arkansas.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
So you're making you make him sit at the top.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, I want him on the floor, his feet on
the face.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
So let's say Tom Cruise is a North Carolina fan
and Tom Cruise wants to sit on the front row
of Rupperina and watch the game.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
You are not gonna sell him a ticket.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Tom, I gotta seat up here in the media. Pass
here in the I can get them to break.

Speaker 7 (34:59):
Okay, let's say we're playing South Carolina and Darius ruck.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
There you go. He wants to come.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Yeah, he wants to sing the national anthem at the
UK South Carolina game. But his only requirement is he
gets to sit in the front row. You're not selling
him a seat.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
As long as I can sit right beside him. I'm
selling that stuff and creep him out and creep him out. Hey, Darius,
what are you doing? Let what are you doing?

Speaker 6 (35:21):
Later?

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Let's go do something Darius, he look, get.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
Something to eat.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
You're so weird. We'll take a break and be right back.

I think you should be Uh, you should not let
them in and you should sell them all the way
at the top.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, I mean, I can get letting them come in
and watch the game and not sit on the floor
where the celebrity sit. You do that in New York,
you don't do it. But in the end, it doesn't
have any celebrities cooka melon camp.

Speaker 4 (37:04):
When he's out there yelling and everybody, what, don't.

Speaker 5 (37:06):
They just bottom with their money? What are you gonna
do about it?

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (37:09):
Yeah, that's probably what happened. I'm sure that's probably the
most likely scenario. Who's up next? Kendall is next, Kendall,
Go ahead, Kendall.

Speaker 13 (37:19):
Hey, Matt, I got a question if you guys we're
talking about Buddy Ryan this week, do you think that
we are done seeing all time leading scores at on
the college level? Like like it's like, Dan this little
record is gonna stand in Kentucky for the rest of
the time. With franch of Portal and.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
All that, Well, dan Issel's Record's probably gonna stand.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
But yeah, I mean I think it's actually it could transfer.
Portal's part of it. But I also think, you know,
dan Issel, if he played today, would have been a
one and done right, like he would have gone to
the draft right Just the way the draft is becoming,
it's almost becoming like the.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
College baseball draft.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
The guys are either going one and done or they're
staying four years. Like that's kind of what it's becoming.
Like if you go look at the NBA Mott Draft,
the top seventeen picks are one and done and then
eighteen through forty are all seniors. Like, you're not seeing
a lot of sophomores go in the draft. So do

(38:20):
I think there's a senior out there that could be
like Jody Meeks of four great years. Yes, but then
the question is would they stay all four years? I
think if there was a school where they could do it,
Drew Kentucky would be that school. I think it would
be very hard for a school like Xavier to get
their all time leading score, But could Kentucky do it?

Speaker 4 (38:43):
Probably not, but it's not crazy.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
Yeah, I don't know if like one school will have
a four year record, but like someone staying in college
that might say like a Walter Clayton that had two
great years that goes to Florida. You might see a
college player overall have four years that rank Cobb one
place might be getting difficulty.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
If Antonio reeves Ryan had come here out of high school,
that's the kind of guy who could have made a
run at a top five to top ten scorer of all time.
If he had been here all because he probably was
never gonna be good enough to be a first round pick,
would have always gotten nil money.

Speaker 4 (39:19):
But do I think that's likely to happen. Probably not.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
No, I've had this conversation with somebody, maybe in that
guy called in. I don't know if anybody else cracked
the top ten, let alone break Dan. This was real.
I don't know if anybody cracked the top ten.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
Appreciate it, Appreciate the call.

Speaker 5 (39:32):
I think we'll get to tell.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
I still think there's a top ten guy out there
that could happen one day. I think Mark Pope's system
is a perfect example. Like Mark Pope is gonna go
get a kid that might be really good in college,
but not necessarily a one and done Shannon, And if
we keep offering him three million dollars every year to
come back, then you could see him coming back then.

Speaker 6 (39:53):
I absolutely yeah.

Speaker 7 (39:54):
Guy just like Otaga Oway who's kind of you know,
in the second round, doesn't want to go in the
second round, try to play his way up to the
first round, comes back for three years.

Speaker 6 (40:03):
Maybe I could see that happen.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
I mean, if you look at the fifteen guys who
had a chance to return to college, who were the
best talents and not first round picks, all right, So
if you've put that in there, I think you could
make a strong argument.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
That like thirteen of the fifteen came back.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
The kid from Washington State that could have gone to
Duke he decided to stay in, and R. J. Lewis
from Saint John's he decided to stay in. But pretty
much everyone else came back to college.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
So I think that's what NIL.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Does, absolutely does that they realize these guys can make
more money playing it at your school or anything going
play in the G League somewhere. It's just I don't
know if there's gonna be a lot of those four
year guys. If they're good, they may be gone and
transferring to or they may go pro into.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
But I think at Kentucky you could keep them for
fur tuckies.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
A lot of schools where you might not be able
to keep them at four years, but at Kentucky will
by the way they're showing the National Spelling Bee. The
kid that won with Sassy Did you say that last
n He kind of smarted.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
Off at one point.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
He's like a little bit of a trash spelling trash talker.

Speaker 5 (41:02):
I like that. I was the fourth and fifth grade champion.
I had a little little assass in me too.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
Well, good, well, thank you to all the folks who
came out here to play. It's gonna be a fun day.
Suns come out.
