Him to Hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio Present It
by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Now Here's Matt Jones walking back.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
It is Kentucky Sports Radio eight FIM nine two eighth
twenty two eighty seven Here in Shelby County at the
Little Crooked Creek safari enjoin.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
A hot day.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It's Kentucky Office, a Highway Safety KSR Safe Summer Driving.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Tour we have.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
This was our third location. We went to Kenton County.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
We were at a place in Lexington and now Shelby County,
and we just saw, uh, there's a zebra. They said,
the zebra is a loner, doesn't like to interact with
the other animals, but seemed to like Mario, so.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
That was nice. Yeah, I guess you gotta keep some
of these animals separated. My fight a little bit. Learned
a lot during the break.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah, I said, the zebra and the camel can't be
in the same place. Remember, our friend Chris Tomlin used
to write an article called Animal Friends. He could come
up here and write Animal Enemy. He would write. He
wrote for National Geographic for kids, and he would write
about animals that were friends with each other that that
you wouldn't think would be friends.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Not going to be the case with this cambel and ze.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
He could he could learn a lot here. I like
that Mario's getting along with the zebra. Did the zebra
have a name? Did we learn that?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
What's a zebra's name?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Zebra?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
You like zebra? Brody the zebra? That's it?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So do you do all these animals? You have names
for all of them? Oh? They lend themselves. So you
like look at him and go that camel looks like
a bob Okay, so what is like that one?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
What's that? What's that? That's poppy?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Okay? Well, if there's anything not named, I think we'd
be glad to name one of them if you want.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
If no, he's not, he's not into that. I think
he would have done it before I told him I
didn't vote for Trump.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I think that probably tried to unplug the equipment when
he's found that out.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Yeah, I think probably. I think that probably did it.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Was I saw he's not a regular listener, so I
think I could tell when I gave him that, he
was like, who how did?
Speaker 6 (02:59):
I like?
Speaker 5 (03:00):
These people are a bumble words, But.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
It's got to get the hell out of here. His
sun in laws once set it up.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Mackenzie Mackinsley conveniently didn't tell him that fact, which I
totally understand, I get it all right. Before I go
to the phones eight five, nine, two, eight, twenty two
to eighty seven, tell me about this quarterback.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
We have a forth Potatoski.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
We have a four star quarterback that is ranked number
nine in America, the ninth best quarterback in America that
multiple people are saying is going to pick Kentucky within
the next week. My guess is would pick Kentucky before
this July first thing. My guess is the idea that
they want to do it before these rules come into place.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't know that, but that's my gas.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Get to July first, then all of a sudden the
rev sharing rules apply, so potentially over the weekend or something,
would end up picking Kentucky. On paper, this seems amazing
and a little crazy that the ninth best quarterback would
pick us. Give me a little bit about him.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I'd be a huge get, could really pop pop any
moment he's really Kentucky and Oregon are the two finalists.
Oregon just got a commitment yesterday, which makes us Fell
even more comfortable. But Alabama was in his final mix.
Went to the Elite eleven camp earlier this week, and
really Shine won the MVP but was in the conversation
for it early. He's also a two sports star. I
(04:18):
think that's what's helped Kentucky so much is they've played
up the baseball aspect too. There's also a chance he
gets drafted really high and just goes to the baseball route.
But this would be one of the bigger commitments in
a long time. I know it's hard for people to
get excited about things on down the road with Kentucky
football when we have the season in front of us,
but this would be one of the biggest quarterback gets
that they've had.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I mean, the number nine ranked quarterback not from Kentucky.
When's the last time we've had a dude ranked this
high not from Kentucky commit as a quarterback.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Commit as a freshman's I don't know it's ever been
one top ten quarterback.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
When was the last time a freshman even I ended
up playing? Where was was Morgan Newton?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Top ten?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
He was pretty high. Yeah, I don't know if he.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
But I mean the fact that we can't we don't know.
I mean, this doesn't happen very much. I think the
baseball thing is.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Part of it.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, mine own and Stoops have kind of worked together.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
This is an interesting thing.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I wonder if we'll see this more often from what
I've been told, maybe pooling their rev share money and
saying you can get some of our baseball money and
you can get some of our football money, which might
lead to him being offered more than he could have
to play one sport at Oregon. Kind of creative. Yeah,
(05:36):
he's a very good baseball player. Kind of creative. If
I like that idea, What do you think about getting
a guy who, literally, I think is projected he could
be like a top three round.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Baseball player, like third or fourth round.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Getting both a top three or four round baseball player
and a quarterback that's top ten, that would be I
mean that's a huge thing for both UK football in baseball.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
I think if you're a place like Kentucky, you have
to do something creative like that. If you're gonna try
to get a top ten quarterback, play on. Let him
think that, you know, he could maybe play do both sports.
But I think the big fear is he's gonna get
drafted and not play college football or college baseball at all.
I mean, he's that good.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Well well, no, I mean the draft is coming up
here A couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I think the baseball draft Kentucky since Vince Merriw left
there on fire, has.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Gotten eight football commitments.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I mean when Vince left, we were down to two
and one of them decommitted, so really one and they've
gotten eight in the two weeks since he left. That's
clearly a message, Dury. They're clearly trying to get this done.
They're also focusing on Texas. Most of the players they're
getting are from Texas.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
What do you make of all that? It's pretty crazy.
When the official visit season started at the beginning of June,
they had one commitment and they were the only power
for school in any of the big conferences that only
had a single commitment at that point in next year's class.
Now they're already in double digits in Texas. They've cast
a wide net. Were used to seeing Kentucky and Ohio.
(07:03):
When you go down the list, it is everywhere. They
got another Michigan player, a tight end, got some out
of Georgia, double dipped in Texas. They got a Texas
defensive lineman yesterday. That's a good addition. It started a
little slow with some players where you're like, this is
really the caliber we want, but the last four or
five have been really big gets and Ponatowski could be
around the corner at any moment.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Well, you got to give you. I mean, we thought
recruiting was done with Vince gone. They've seemed to bounce
back and we're starting to see some other guys. That's good,
that's a positive.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Great marketing move on UK's part. As Vince Lee's boom.
Get all these guys to commit right now and the
boom one after the other after the other. Got to
get that momentum back that maybe they had lost when
Vince left.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And Ponitowski's interview he said he liked the culture at Kentucky.
What do we think about that? Really? Yea used to
sea word saying culture look good, or if they told
him to say, like hey break on our culture, say culture,
or maybe he really saw something, but that was.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Such an emphasis on it made an impression with him.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Hope it will listen. I'm excited.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
We are to the point and you're gonna hear me
say this a lot between now in September. We are
to the point that sort of complaining and being upset
will only do so much. We gotta get as excited
about this year as we can, cause it is what
it is. At this point, there's no reason to just
be miserable. I kind of feel like, I don't know,
if you saw the GM, the Myers guy was with
(08:22):
Steven A. Smith and Steven A. Smith was complaining about
the Knicks or whatever, and he said, look, this the
NBA Draft. Can we be positive about these guys since this,
since once they're picked, they're picked. I kind of agree
with him.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I sort of feel that way about UK football now,
like we might as well be positive.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
This is what we've got.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, and all the complaints have been fairer, But I
think you do have to give them credit for what
they're doing recruiting, especially if they land a stud quarterback
for the future whatever you think the future looks like.
You at least have to pat him on the back
for recruiting in June. Right now?
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yeah, who's up next?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Shit?
Speaker 8 (08:52):
Free bird?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Free bird?
Speaker 9 (08:54):
Go ahead, Hey guys, greetings from Trig Keunty. All right,
you were talking about earlier. I think about like the
games before Louisville, how disaster it would be that they
don't get crowded. Then why are they still changing the uh?
(09:19):
Rules for tailgating and pissing all the sands off. They
don't want to come to this, don't you think.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
It could be a start at that for a minute,
So they made some new rules about tailgating.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I appreciate the call. I read the rules. I mean,
what is the difference, just that they're making people put
their name tags on I feel like the only thing
I noticed, and I wasn't in the weeds of it,
but it looked like just tagging your tents and maybe
putting your date thought instead of just expected it to
be worse.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Me saying they were upset about the changes. But then
when I looked at the changes, I couldn't figure out
what they'd be upset about. It seemed like the only
rule was that you had to put your name, address
and phone number on your thing, which I mean, I
guess I don't feel like that's crazy to say, put
your name, address and phone number.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
If it blows away, they'll know who it is because
people already anything else about it. No, I mean, there's
changes coming that weren't part of what was written yesterday
about you know, they're bringing in some of those corporate
tends might move people around RV Lott has complaints. But
that story, I think Ross wrote it yesterday. I expected
there'd be more in it that people be mad about.
It didn't seem that bad.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Well, I mean, this year, you know, we've talked a
lot about how the tailgating culture and all that, how
bad it's gotten, or how much they've changed. This is
gonna be the year that will tell the tale of it,
because in the last few years we've either been good
enough or the opponents were good enough that people's kind
of got over it. This year, if the experience of
(10:50):
going to the game is not pleasant, people are not
gonna go.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I mean, I think that's just I think that's just
a fact.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
So we're going to see in these various games, when
we play Florida or when we play Tennessee, we're gonna
kind of see where people are. And at some point
UK has I feel like, I say this till I'm
blue in the face. UK has got to prioritize the
fan experience better.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
I think they did better.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
They're doing better than they did three years ago, but
it's still not.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
I don't think anybody sits there and says we'll be
put a different way. I feel like people at UK
take is a given that people are coming. Okay, they
take it's a given that people are coming, and then
adjust accordingly. I think they're gonna have to start doing
things to ensure that people want to come, period, right,
(11:45):
And I think that's something that really hasn't been their
mindset in the last decade.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
And it's gonna be more prevalent than in a season
like this season, when they're the not the wins aren't
on the field. They've got to make something for the fans.
I mean, season tickets are already down. I mean, so
what if they come out and they struggle, they lose
a couple or games. People are going They're gonna be
more orange in there for Tennessee and Texas than there
will be blue.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
A think, Oh I worry about that. You look at
the Tennessee and Texas game. I mean, just take Texas.
Texas has never been here. Okay, Texas has the richest fans.
There's no fan base that is richer in the SEC
than Texas. I'm not sure if people realize how wealthy
the Texas University of Texas is. They are probably the
(12:26):
wealthiest public school in America. With their alumni, they've never
been here. Lexington is a lot nicer of a place
to go than a lot of places you can go
in the SEC. Then throw in it's the middle of October,
it's during Keenland, which you know will get out there.
Then throw in that they're good enough to potentially win
a national championship this year. This might be the best
(12:49):
Texas team they've had since Vince Young put all that
in there. We are looking at a Texas takeover when
they come. If our team is not playing at a
left I mean, you could literally get a situation where
there's more Texas people than there are Kentucky people. That
is not a crazy scenario at all. We're getting the
Texas takeover. You mentioned Keenland.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
They still have that excitement about just being in the SEC,
even though it's already have a year under their belt.
It's all these new destinations they get to go. Lexington
has become a huge tourist place. I don't know if
y'all have noticed, but if you read any kind of
those magazines at rank places, Lexington has really shot up
the list of places to visit. So I think Texas
is coming in strong. That'll be a Matthew McConaughey game.
(13:31):
I'm sure we'll see him around town. You know, I
didn't eve think about that because his dad played here. Yeah,
so his dad played at Kentucky and he's a Texas fan.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
If you're Matthew mcconnaie, you're coming to that game.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Or Texas wants this trip bad, They're gonna completely take over.
It'll be burnt and orange everywhere.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Well, just like you went down to Texas last year.
Fans like to go to a place they've never been.
That's why I think it'll be a big Texas swarm
in the Kroger field on they play.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
By the way, the apparently the quarterback baseball player. Obviously,
I said the draft was in two or three weeks.
He's in the next year, so he will not be
got a little more high school. Yeah, he's got one
more year of high school. Listen, it would be good
for Stoops if he gets that commitment.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, not a lot of good news around Stoops if
they get that. I know the rules about signing and
how much you can play it up, but you gotta really,
if you're looking forward to the future past this season,
build around that kid, because that's you don't get many
quarterbacks like that. I know Stoops doesn't use them. When's
the last time we used a freshman commitment quarterback? But
that'll be a big GIF if they pull it off.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
One person rights Matt.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I've never had an argument in our family like the
argument about Drew's ketchup comment last night. My daughters are
mad about it. My wife is mad about it. For
what it's worth, I agree with Drew, but not eating
ketchup has caused major problems in our family.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I've got a lot of feedback about the ketchup. I
don't feel like I said anything wrong. I'm not taking
it back. He even set himself his daughters like ketchup.
I assume they're probably young, probably under the age of twelve.
Sorry to the wife, but I stand by it. I
had a few people on my side who there were
more than I thought I would have gotten, but I
did hear from a lot of people who had done. Mario,
you haven't you haven't eaten today?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
You said you don't eat till noon. Are you holding
out till our food thing at two thirty? So you're
gonna be really hungry?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Like here?
Speaker 5 (15:14):
You haven't you you haven't eaten at all? Yeah, all right.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Mario texted me about ketchup on the show. He was
in Louisville. He was upset. Yeah, did you get any
feedback from your unpopular opinion or no?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Nobody got mad at me. I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I'm not sure I know if the phone would ring
on that one or not.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
I will say this, I didn't get one.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
This is all the folks that UK need to know
every unpopular opinion that was said. Drew's ketchup one, Mario's
breakfast one, what was yours?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
TikTok one? Shannon?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
What was yours?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Kentucky's football six wins?
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Kentucky football six wins. All four of those got people
writing saying they disagreed. You know what, No one took
up for the UK pregame and post game shows. Not
one person wrote me and said, man, they are awesome.
Don't touch a thing, no one, And there are people
that will argue with anything.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I say.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Nothing on that one. Just say we'll take a break.
Be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Welcome back.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
It is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
A five nine two twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Couple open lines.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Let's get get some folks in here before I go
to the ones that we have. Did you hear the
story about Hugh Freeze and what they did at Auburn?
All right, so there's been some I don't know if
Hugh Freeze hasn't been recruiting well or but there's been
some fan discontent. So they looked up someone wrote on
a message board for Auburn, Hugh Freeze has been playing
(16:44):
golf every day and not working. And you know, it
got its own life. So like the way people sometimes
been giving Mark Stoop's a hard time, here, they were
doing with Hugh Freeze.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
So then somebody who did an ingenious thing. Do you
know what they did? Or do I saw this? They
are recording.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
They went on the USGA site to find the handicaps
for golf. And every time you play golf, if you
want to keep up your handicap, you report what your
score was. And they found that Hugh Freeze had played
golf ten times in fifteen days in June. And the
Auburn fans are now like, he's not working. He's played
(17:24):
eighteen holes of golf ten times in fifteen days.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
I'll note Mark Stoops no golf, it's.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Zero golf, zero golf. At June had played a little
bit in May.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
No golf in June, Hugh Freeze ten in fifteen days.
If you found out your coach played eighteen holes of
golf ten times in fifteen days, is that too much?
Speaker 7 (17:45):
It is too much because June is maybe one of
the most crucial months for football recruiting. It's a camp session,
it's makeing you make your visits, and June is like
huge when it comes to football recruiting. So you know,
I've got family members that are big Auburn fans. They
ain't happy with Hugh Freeze down there doing this.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Jaf Kay once said, you show me a man that's
good at golf, really good at golf, I'll show you
man that's neglecting something in his life, meaning either his
family or his work. I always thought that was an
interesting quote, Hugh Freeze. Would you be upset if you
found out our coach had done ten to fifteen days golf?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I would, First of all, I believe this was al
dot Com got to give them huge credit for this.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Let's pullshit worthy.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, because you can go into the the USGA system
and just look up golfers. Never would have thought to
look up college football coaches in the South, but they
had four or five that they found and reported on that.
As you mentioned, Stoops playing the least. But I could
see why fans would be all upset. There's some months
were Okay, my coach to go recharge. He's earned some golf.
But it's camp and visit season right now, Shannon upset if.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You're off the fan, Yeah, I mean, could you imagine
if Stoops were out there and we found out he
was golfing ten out of fourteen days or whatever it was.
It's not like Auburn's good either.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
What were they five or seven? Last year? There was
a game in the last couple of years where there
were rumors that Stoops had played that morning before the game,
someone leaked a photo where there was a tea time
under his name, which could have been him setting it up.
It turns out he was him setting it up for
a friend. But there were people very angry. We were
about to play.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
We had a game at night, and he had a
tea time at like nine am.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Someone had taken a picture.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
But it turned out that he was setting it up
for friends that were in town at his country club.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
But I I actually.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Think Auburn fans have a legitimate ten out of fifteen days,
like you said, Ryan, in June, which is big for
college football recruiting. June for college basketball kind of an
off time, but June for college football is big.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Yeah, if you'd made the final four, even the playoffs,
maybe we cut you a little slack. But man, when
you're struggling, you're fighting for your job almost you need
to be out there in the recruiting trail in the
month of golf, during the dead period. For cried out loud,
you can't golf during June like that.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I had a golf ten times in three years and
I just working home my pajamas and talk to you guys,
how is he able to do it?
Speaker 5 (19:53):
By the way, from now on, they'll just not report
their score.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Oh they're done. They'll use fake names in the handicaps.
And by the way, it's easy. Just pick up the
ball and don't report the score. It's much It's much
easier to do that. Who's up next, Scott, Scott, Go ahead, Scott.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
Hey.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
I think at the end of the year we're going
to have a really good UH football team. I think
the the wins may not stars. It started back at
matt Etlham and if you will look our best years,
he developed two and three stars. And I think he's
(20:30):
just better suited to be able to take some guys
that may be hungry and have something to prove. And
I actually think that there'll be an improvement this year
and that maybe next year when he gets his guys
back in there that he's comfortable with, I think that
the football team may turn around.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Okay, so that I appreciate the call again, if you
want to be optimistic A Shannon six Weeks, six wins
Shannon about football, you would say Mark Stoops has always
done the best when he has when he's kind of
being underplayed, when he's being dismissed, when he has guys
that sort of arnas you know, Arn is strong a players,
he usually coaches him up.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
I mean, is there an argument that that could happen
this year.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
There's probably a little bit to that. I completely agree
that Stoops is a guy who probably likes to play
from behind a little bit, whether than with the recruit
he's trying to develop or being told he can't do something.
That's usually when he's at his best is when his
backs against the wall and he's the underdogs motivate. Yeah,
when he's motivated. That's like right now when he put
his golf clubs in the attic for the year and
he's focused on recruiting. Yeah, you know, I agree. I
(21:33):
mean his some of his best players were completely under
the radar.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
I don't know if UK was listening to the show,
but UK put a picture right after we talked about
him being thin and like how cal looked like. They
put a picture out of him looking really thin, and
I thought that, first of all, they were listening when
they put that out. But he did look good. I mean,
stoops stoop puts on and loses weight a lot, and
he looks thin. He looks kind of like, I don't
(21:59):
want to use the but he looks like he's kind
of like ready to rocket.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
He swagger back a little bit.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Man.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
The whole season, to me, depends on Calzada. He's gotta
be good for this team to be good.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
You know.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Vandergriffkind struggled last year at the team struggle. Year before that,
Leary kind of struggle a little bit the team struggle.
If Kalzada is good, this team who maybe could pull
out some wins. We don't think they can.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I think he'll be an upgrade no matter what. Yeah,
I just worry about who he's throwing to Shannon.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
I'm a little upset at our friend Tony Venetti. Would
you like to know why what happened with you? I
hadn't seen him in a couple of months. Ran into
him yesterday and he came up to me and he goes, dude,
are you like take You're taking ozimpic, aren't you.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
No.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
I was like, I've just lost weight, and he was like, no,
you don't have to lie to me you've taken ozempic.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
I'm like, can't you just give me credit for losers?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Why you gotta say I'm taking ozimpic And he was like,
you're not, and he wouldn't believe me.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
And so people are saying the same thing about Mark Stoops.
They're like, oh, he's just taking OZIMPI I feel like
that's a bad thing about ozimpic, Like, I'm proud of myself.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I've lost way.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Don't be telling me I took ozempic Tony Venetti, and.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
I feel like Mark Stoops should say the same thing
unless he took ozempick, at which point then he can't say.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I don't think he's taking ozempic. He's in the lab.
They have all that exercise equipment over there. He's probably
doing three of days. And I don't like Tony, who
I heard was wearing a backwards hat yesterday, walking around
with his backwards hat telling me I'm taking ozimpick.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Turn your hat around, Tony, be.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Proud of who you sell.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
That's right. We'll take a break.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
I mean, if there's anything wrong with taking Ocempic, but
we'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
It's KSR. TJ.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay now.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's
Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Working back Tucky Sports Radio. Stop overpaying for sunglasses. If
you're tired of buying expensive sunglasses only to lose or break,
i'ma go to Shady Ray's, American owned company started right
here in Kentucky. They have the best lost and broken replacements.
I broke a pair of mine, took him in, got
another one.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
That's what they do. Shady Rays offers the best protection
program for you.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
And starting this Friday, stores are kicking off their Independence
Day sale early up to fifty percent off all shades
in store offers, including a free mystery pair when you
spend one hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
It is Shady Rays.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
There's one in Lexington, one in Louisville, and Shady Rays.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
Play right here in Shelby County too, right, yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Yeah, well that's where the company start. You drive by
it on the interstate. Now that big, amazing how much
they've grown. We've set and watched Shady Rays and Cornbread
hem yep, grow from like tiny companies to nationwide companies
pretty much solely by yes, I mean I remember, I'm
just kidding it go solely, but that, you know, big,
It's been fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I remember standing over them when they were putting the
last screw and the first pair of sunglasses they ever made.
And now they got this gigantic facility right over here.
You passed by same a cornbraad. We were in the
fields with cornbread when the concept came up with the concept,
and now look at them.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
What person writes is Vince leaving gonna be like Peev leaving.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
You're in Stoop's relationship.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
We'll get bad now that Vince left, like a basketball
did with Peev. No, I mean I have direct communication
with Mark. Not not a lot, but occasionally.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
No, I mean good, here's a good thing about Mark.
I think he listens to too much criticism. But he's
not the kind of guy who says, you can't criticize me.
That's a cal thing Mark Pope. Same way. Like, if
you're ranking the sensitivity scale of criticism, there's nobody that's
(25:29):
been at Kentucky who was more sensitive about criticism than
John cal Perry, which is why when cal Perry would
always do his I don't listen to what they say.
Even when I loved Cal, that was the most ridiculous
thing ever, because Cal would like there could be a writer.
I remember many years ago, when he first got here,
there was a publication called Basketball News. Does anybody even
(25:53):
remember that?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I'm going to guess that they had basketball news.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
I think it was called Basketball News.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
It was like a nation wide weekly newspaper or something
about basketball. Again, no one knows about it, but I
guess Cal had been reading it.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
All is live.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
So there was some columnist on there who occasionally would
criticize him for the whole you know, unfairly, the one
and done and all that stuff. And whenever it would
come in he would call me and Peevee and like
be livid and say, what should I tweet out about this?
And I would go, no one is reading this. The
(26:31):
only way anyone.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Will know it exists is if you tweet it out,
like don't amplify, no one will even know it's happening.
But he took.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Criticism so personally. And you know, now go to the
other end of the scale. There are guys who I
don't even think know when things.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Happen, right like Tubby.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Yeah, I don't know that Tubby ever knew what anyone
ever said about him about anything.
Speaker 7 (26:59):
I don't think so either.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
You know.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
I think for guys like Stoops and cal they they
try to rest on their laurels a lot of times,
so when the things do go south a little bit,
they get like, yeah, but remember when I did this? Yeah,
I remember when I did that.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Stoops does that. Stoops does the why don't people think
about this? But I've never had Stoops tell me like
Stoops has always said to me, I know, you got
to do your job, Like he has said that to
me probably thirty times before. He's then said, but but
he always says that, And I appreciate that because you
do have to do your job.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
But Cal never saw it like that really ever.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Well Cal also had like didn't he pay someone to
call into his radio shows in New Jersey? And like, well,
I mean that's been that's been cal'sm for a long time.
We'll see with Pope overtime, but I hope he's honest
and what he said to you, and what he said
openly about you know, I'm here to win. If I
don't win, have at it. You know, say what you
got to say, say what you're feeling, give your criticism.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Pope said that not only publicly, like I said, he
has said that to me privately.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
He says, if.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I mean, he looked at me it was so refreshing
and said, if you don't criticize me, this is not
Kentucky basketball. If we ever get to the point that
losing is okay, it's not Kentucky basketball.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
And we've got to that point in football where you know,
we've had some success, we've had some really good years,
so when things are not successful, we're going to criticize.
I mean, you gotta take the good with the bad.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
I guess I've never really figured out I don't know
how much like Mitch doesn't really speak directly to anyone,
so it's hard to know what he thinks about criticism.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I don't think he likes it, but he also doesn't
tell you not to do it, so I have no
clue what he thinks. I assume it's all of the email.
They'll never be somebody that's more involved in UK sports
that I will know less about as.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
A human being than I do. Mitch Parkarker.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I've never spoken to him. This is my sixteenth year.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
One time Mitch invited me out to his farm. He
has a farm out there in Midway right and he
invited me or between Lexington and Midway, and he invited
me to come out there, and he was very nice,
like a great host, and he took me around on.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
A golf court on a golf cart and showed me
his farm.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
He's very proud of it, like I don't think he
I don't think he's out there tilling the land, but
he he just like he's it's beautiful out there and
he was showing me all of it. And I was
there two hours and we talked and he couldn't have
been nicer. He gave like he served a ham sandwich
that was like a piece of ham and cheese and
white bread. Exactly what you think Rich Barnhardt eats for lunch.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
That's what he eats, like no condiments.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I see him pulling up to a little table with
two chairs far offrom the farm and there's a picture
of lemonade and two glasses there were. It was a
long table.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
He sat on one end and I said on the other,
like we were like an old British family.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
With that said, he couldn't have been nicer. It was wonderful.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
And then when I got back in the car, I
thought to myself driving I don't remember one thing we
said during those two.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Hours, Like that's just how he is. He just doesn't
reveal himself.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
I just felt like he does such a great job
on the athletic side of it. He's kind of out
of touch with the fans at times. One is important
to but he does a lot of things really well.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
I think he's a net positive overall. Who's next? Will
Will go ahead?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Will?
Speaker 10 (30:09):
Hey, Matt, I got a couple of things for you.
I know Kentucky has that sort of fake, fake tournament
they have at Reparina. One problem I think we have
is we have eight Division One teams in Kentucky and
they playing seven different conferences. Yeah, so I wish they
could play more because that's I think that's it would
(30:30):
be good for our state if they were all able
to play each other. And the second thing is there's
a freshman softball player for Brackett County. She's her name's
Kendall Johnson. Next week and starting tomorrow, she's playing in
the Team USA, playing with Team USA in the fifteen
under World Cup for softball. And she's over in Italy
(30:52):
now and she's playing for the World Cup. I wanted
to give her a shout out.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Well, congrats to her. I think you know, I appreciate
the call.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
I'm not gonna complain about our schedule because we have
so many good games this year in basketball, I will
say this, I'm little concern. One of the things that's
important about RPI. Tubby was good at this, Cal ended
up being pretty good at this. The stinky teams we
played were good enough to win their conference, so they
didn't kill our RPI. Just looking at the teams we
(31:19):
play next year, we play like three of the worst
teams in the country. Like I think we play I
think Southern was like the worst team in the country
last year, and we play them, So I am a
little worried that can hurt you more than good games
can help you. We're gonna play the team ranked like
three hundred and fiftieth next year, so some of our
(31:40):
steaky games, right drew maybe a little bit stinkier than
they need to be.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
And I don't know the answer. I think Pope did
that a little bit of BYU two, and he's done
that in the past. He I think he has a
method in why he does it. I don't know what
that would be, but if you look at his schedule,
or it could be because they do factor in margin
of victory, that's what it. Maybe he sees, you know,
he's a lot smarter than I am. Maybees a formula
where if you beat a team by fifty it can
help you.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
That's interesting, I hadn't you might be right about that.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Maybe there's maybe he's looked at the numbers and beating
but that means you got to beat him by fifty,
like you can't win by eight or whatever.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
There's one guy that has figured out a way to
use that to his advantage.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
His Pope. That would be interesting.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
I'd be interested to see, like if it maybe we'll ask.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
You, like, would I rather beat one team by fourteen?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
I'm gonna assume we're gonna win by fifty, but that
would be maybe you're right about that.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Who's next, Nancy? Nancy? Go ahead, Nancy.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
Hey, Matt, Okay, So I'm supporting you on the no
shot deal on losing weight. I lost twenty nine pounds
no shots, a lot of willpower, but it can be done.
And so everybody thinks that, you know, oh, I can't
wait unless I'm on those shots or something of that
kind of you know, weight loss meds. That's not true.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
So if you just walk, you.
Speaker 5 (32:53):
Just if you just I appreciate that, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
If you just walk, if you're not someone that walks regularly,
and you just walk, you'll lose.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Seven to ten pounds quickly, Like quickly.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Now I walk, Yeah, I'll walk in the morning.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
Yeah for an hour that.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Yeah, well, I appreciate the call. Then ten pounds are harder, oh,
ten pounds. If you're not someone that walks regularly, if
you just go do it, you'll get rid of that
first ten pounds pretty quickly.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
That is the Matt Jones.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Weight loss tip of the Week. Does that include your
walking where you stop and get skyline halfway? Is that
also part of the tip?
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Well, you want to know the madness behind the skyline?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Yeah, I would love to know it. If I walk
from my house to skyline, here's the way, here's the
math I do. The walk to skyline justifies the skyline. Okay,
the walk back is my exercise. Ahh okay, that makes sense.
Does that make sense?
Speaker 10 (33:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Just so, just make sure you double the exercise.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
It's double the exercise if you're gonna eat Skyline. Now,
if you want to eat normal food, you don't have.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
To double you.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
But if I I justify eating Skyline by saying, I'm
gonna walk all the way out there, and now I've
earned myself Skyline for the.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Walk back, I like that. What about the donuts and
the chocolate chip cook and we don't have to get.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Into all that. He's a great chocolate chip COOKI he's
ever made them. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
You don't have to. You don't have to do it
every day. I'm acting like I'm an expert. I'm just
telling you I didn't take a shot. That's all I'm saying. Uh, tomorrow.
We are Assured Partners seventeen ninety.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
Two, Ali Sheba Way or Hamburg in Lexington. Now here's
the thing.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
First seventy five people get free food from Drakes.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Yeah, that's pretty good food.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
Food truck out there.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
We're gonna have a Drake's food truck for the first
seventy five people at Assured Partners in Lexington seventeen ninety two,
Ali Sheiba Way.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
They're a good host, right, we've done this before. Yeah,
this one's maybe. I think we'll be outside and under
a tent.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Yeah. I remember a few years ago we went there.
They had food trucks. A great great host for the show.
Make sure you get out there. Close to my house
too big, kind of hot. I'm not gonna lie to you,
but you get free food, free food. It's close to
Billy's house. Maybe Billy'll bite over.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Yeah, if you want to do that, you could do
that as well.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
If I'm nine twenty two eighty seven, we will take
a break. Be right back here at the Little Crooked
Creek Safari in Shelby County. It's KSR. Welcome back, take
you sports Radio. I had some whispers from the basketball workouts,
but it's gonna be a longer thing. I'll leave with
that tomorrow. Let me give you one more thing with
assured Partners tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Darius Miller is gonna be there at eleven am. He's
coming to uh do a segment with us. So if
you come out, you can meet Darius Miller as well.
Love Darius, one of my favorites.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Hadn't seen him in a while, but he's uh, he's
local now after retirement. He's shuttled down around here.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Put him up seat, you're yeah, he's he's struggling out
here in the sun.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
All right, I got a question for you as a dad.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
All Right, My Carolina Hurricanes have a ton of cap
space and are trying to make a deal to get
like a star. They really of all the year they're
they've been good for like ten years, but they're missing
like one star and that's always been their issue. So
they saved up all this money. They now have the
money to get a star, so they're trying to get
a trade to do it. They have a lot of
people they can trade. They actually have a really good
(36:05):
farm system. But one of the people that they could
trade that other people would want is Rod Brenda Moor's
is the coach's kid who So the coach's kid is
one of the prospects that they could trade to go
get a star. So you're the GM. You know the
coach likes having his kid on the team. Can you
(36:27):
trade the coach's kid? And, by the way, the coach
usually signs off on it. Would you trade your kid
to get the star that would make your team potentially
be able to win a championship.
Speaker 7 (36:38):
I couldn't make myself do it. I couldn't trade my
kid for somebody else. I just couldn't do it, no
matter how good the other kid was.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
I would probably want you owe it to the team.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Yeah, don't you owe it to the city. Don't you
owe it to the hard working Carolina Hurricane fans that
have supported you for twenty years to tell your kid
get out.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
We need to GE's someone better than you.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
I love, but I love my kid. It's maybe not
the best.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Then we have to fire you.
Speaker 7 (37:07):
Oh I'm I'm taking the bullet for my kid.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
I so you would rather get fired than trade. It's
not like you're trading your kid to the goulog He
just goes and plays for a different team.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
Yeah, unless my kids signed off on it, I couldn't
do it.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
So we're firing Ryan. Would you trade your kid?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
If I'm the head coach, I walk into the gym's
office with my son, I set my son down and
we trade him right there together, and I say, up
here to win. I wanted to look him in the
eyes as I shipped him somewhere else to let you
know how serious I am about when.
Speaker 7 (37:35):
He's gonna be a little awkward.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
And you also teaching your kid a lesson? Yeah that,
like you know, this is business, this is we I
still love you.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
I'll see it Christmas. Yes, I will be No, he won't.
Speaker 7 (37:45):
He ain't coming around at Christmas.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Now, fine, then I won't see him Christmas. But I
love my sh know I'll fire. I'll fire him Christmas morning. Well,
I will get around the Christmas. Trade him? How serious?
Speaker 4 (37:57):
And trade your son? If it means helping your team
win a championship?
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Why are you asking me? You already know the answer
to this. I mean, there's business, there's family. The kid
has got to go. It is your job to put
the best team out there. I don't care if it's
your kid, your mom your grandma. You gotta trade them
off and get the best players.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Right.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
Let's look at it as a fan.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Let's say Mark Pope had a kid, okay, and we're
one player away from you know, there's now a hard
cap on players fifteen.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
We're one player away from getting a title.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
There's a dude out there in the portal that, if
he comes, is the missing piece to us winning a title.
But I'm sorry, Mark Pope's kid has to go, and
Mark says, I can't do it. I can't tell my kid. No,
the Kentucky fans are gonna lose their minds.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
This is easier for me. All he has to do
is scoop back one seat into the row behind him
from the bench. So with the Pope family it's like
he's on the team. But sorry, that's pot's gunn.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
Are you keeping your kid and then not winning a
title for the Big Blue Nation?
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (38:56):
Oh, my good blood is thicker than anything else.
Speaker 3 (38:59):
John, he did this. He did do this.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Employment line.
Speaker 7 (39:03):
Tubby Smith did this. You know, Hedd didn't sign some
other guys because Saul was the point Saw.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Could at least well yeah, I mean topic.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
But people didn't like it. People didn't like when he
did that with Saul.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
But this dude, son's obviously good enough to play in
the NHL. He's a good player. I can't do. It's
no way I can look my son in the eye
and said, dude, you're out. I gotta get somebody else.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
He's good enough that he's a good trade piece to
go get something better.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Brenda Moore and you have a chance to get a star.
You gotta tell your son, and I from what I
know of Brenda Moore, he would tell him.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
How long has he been there? I think that matter. See, yeah,
he's got to look out for the franchise.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
First, summer weather has arrived and it's the perfect time

That's a good inspired story to finish today.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Right, the two hundred and eight pounds, don't you forget
those eight pounds.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
Cost two hundred and eight pounds, which is what we're
gonna put on when we go to this kitchen here
in just a little bit to test the food.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
I'm nervous. I'm already sweating more than I thought I
was gonna sweat here today. I'll definitely be sweating when
we eat the food.

Speaker 7 (42:32):
He's got but on the hammock.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
It is Kentucky Sports Radio eight FIM nine two eighth
twenty two eighty seven Here in Shelby County at the
Little Crooked Creek safari enjoin.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
A hot day.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It's Kentucky Office, a Highway Safety KSR Safe Summer Driving.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Tour we have.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
This was our third location. We went to Kenton County.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
We were at a place in Lexington and now Shelby County,
and we just saw, uh, there's a zebra. They said,
the zebra is a loner, doesn't like to interact with
the other animals, but seemed to like Mario, so.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
That was nice. Yeah, I guess you gotta keep some
of these animals separated. My fight a little bit. Learned
a lot during the break.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah, I said, the zebra and the camel can't be
in the same place. Remember, our friend Chris Tomlin used
to write an article called Animal Friends. He could come
up here and write Animal Enemy. He would write. He
wrote for National Geographic for kids, and he would write
about animals that were friends with each other that that
you wouldn't think would be friends.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Not going to be the case with this cambel and ze.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
He could he could learn a lot here. I like
that Mario's getting along with the zebra. Did the zebra
have a name? Did we learn that?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
What's a zebra's name?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Zebra?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
You like zebra? Brody the zebra? That's it?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So do you do all these animals? You have names
for all of them? Oh? They lend themselves. So you
like look at him and go that camel looks like
a bob Okay, so what is like that one?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
What's that? What's that? That's poppy?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Okay? Well, if there's anything not named, I think we'd
be glad to name one of them if you want.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
If no, he's not, he's not into that. I think
he would have done it before I told him I
didn't vote for Trump.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I think that probably tried to unplug the equipment when
he's found that out.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Yeah, I think probably. I think that probably did it.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Was I saw he's not a regular listener, so I
think I could tell when I gave him that, he
was like, who how did?
Speaker 6 (02:59):
I like?
Speaker 5 (03:00):
These people are a bumble words, But.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
It's got to get the hell out of here. His
sun in laws once set it up.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Mackenzie Mackinsley conveniently didn't tell him that fact, which I
totally understand, I get it all right. Before I go
to the phones eight five, nine, two, eight, twenty two
to eighty seven, tell me about this quarterback.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
We have a forth Potatoski.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
We have a four star quarterback that is ranked number
nine in America, the ninth best quarterback in America that
multiple people are saying is going to pick Kentucky within
the next week. My guess is would pick Kentucky before
this July first thing. My guess is the idea that
they want to do it before these rules come into place.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I don't know that, but that's my gas.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Get to July first, then all of a sudden the
rev sharing rules apply, so potentially over the weekend or something,
would end up picking Kentucky. On paper, this seems amazing
and a little crazy that the ninth best quarterback would
pick us. Give me a little bit about him.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I'd be a huge get, could really pop pop any
moment he's really Kentucky and Oregon are the two finalists.
Oregon just got a commitment yesterday, which makes us Fell
even more comfortable. But Alabama was in his final mix.
Went to the Elite eleven camp earlier this week, and
really Shine won the MVP but was in the conversation
for it early. He's also a two sports star. I
(04:18):
think that's what's helped Kentucky so much is they've played
up the baseball aspect too. There's also a chance he
gets drafted really high and just goes to the baseball route.
But this would be one of the bigger commitments in
a long time. I know it's hard for people to
get excited about things on down the road with Kentucky
football when we have the season in front of us,
but this would be one of the biggest quarterback gets
that they've had.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I mean, the number nine ranked quarterback not from Kentucky.
When's the last time we've had a dude ranked this
high not from Kentucky commit as a quarterback.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Commit as a freshman's I don't know it's ever been
one top ten quarterback.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
When was the last time a freshman even I ended
up playing? Where was was Morgan Newton?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Top ten?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
He was pretty high. Yeah, I don't know if he.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
But I mean the fact that we can't we don't know.
I mean, this doesn't happen very much. I think the
baseball thing is.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Part of it.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, mine own and Stoops have kind of worked together.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
This is an interesting thing.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I wonder if we'll see this more often from what
I've been told, maybe pooling their rev share money and
saying you can get some of our baseball money and
you can get some of our football money, which might
lead to him being offered more than he could have
to play one sport at Oregon. Kind of creative. Yeah,
(05:36):
he's a very good baseball player. Kind of creative. If
I like that idea, What do you think about getting
a guy who, literally, I think is projected he could
be like a top three round.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Baseball player, like third or fourth round.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Getting both a top three or four round baseball player
and a quarterback that's top ten, that would be I
mean that's a huge thing for both UK football in baseball.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
I think if you're a place like Kentucky, you have
to do something creative like that. If you're gonna try
to get a top ten quarterback, play on. Let him
think that, you know, he could maybe play do both sports.
But I think the big fear is he's gonna get
drafted and not play college football or college baseball at all.
I mean, he's that good.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Well well, no, I mean the draft is coming up
here A couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I think the baseball draft Kentucky since Vince Merriw left
there on fire, has.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Gotten eight football commitments.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I mean when Vince left, we were down to two
and one of them decommitted, so really one and they've
gotten eight in the two weeks since he left. That's
clearly a message, Dury. They're clearly trying to get this done.
They're also focusing on Texas. Most of the players they're
getting are from Texas.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
What do you make of all that? It's pretty crazy.
When the official visit season started at the beginning of June,
they had one commitment and they were the only power
for school in any of the big conferences that only
had a single commitment at that point in next year's class.
Now they're already in double digits in Texas. They've cast
a wide net. Were used to seeing Kentucky and Ohio.
(07:03):
When you go down the list, it is everywhere. They
got another Michigan player, a tight end, got some out
of Georgia, double dipped in Texas. They got a Texas
defensive lineman yesterday. That's a good addition. It started a
little slow with some players where you're like, this is
really the caliber we want, but the last four or
five have been really big gets and Ponatowski could be
around the corner at any moment.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Well, you got to give you. I mean, we thought
recruiting was done with Vince gone. They've seemed to bounce
back and we're starting to see some other guys. That's good,
that's a positive.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Great marketing move on UK's part. As Vince Lee's boom.
Get all these guys to commit right now and the
boom one after the other after the other. Got to
get that momentum back that maybe they had lost when
Vince left.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And Ponitowski's interview he said he liked the culture at Kentucky.
What do we think about that? Really? Yea used to
sea word saying culture look good, or if they told
him to say, like hey break on our culture, say culture,
or maybe he really saw something, but that was.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Such an emphasis on it made an impression with him.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Hope it will listen. I'm excited.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
We are to the point and you're gonna hear me
say this a lot between now in September. We are
to the point that sort of complaining and being upset
will only do so much. We gotta get as excited
about this year as we can, cause it is what
it is. At this point, there's no reason to just
be miserable. I kind of feel like, I don't know,
if you saw the GM, the Myers guy was with
(08:22):
Steven A. Smith and Steven A. Smith was complaining about
the Knicks or whatever, and he said, look, this the
NBA Draft. Can we be positive about these guys since this,
since once they're picked, they're picked. I kind of agree
with him.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I sort of feel that way about UK football now,
like we might as well be positive.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
This is what we've got.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, and all the complaints have been fairer, But I
think you do have to give them credit for what
they're doing recruiting, especially if they land a stud quarterback
for the future whatever you think the future looks like.
You at least have to pat him on the back
for recruiting in June. Right now?
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yeah, who's up next?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Shit?
Speaker 8 (08:52):
Free bird?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Free bird?
Speaker 9 (08:54):
Go ahead, Hey guys, greetings from Trig Keunty. All right,
you were talking about earlier. I think about like the
games before Louisville, how disaster it would be that they
don't get crowded. Then why are they still changing the uh?
(09:19):
Rules for tailgating and pissing all the sands off. They
don't want to come to this, don't you think.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
It could be a start at that for a minute,
So they made some new rules about tailgating.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I appreciate the call. I read the rules. I mean,
what is the difference, just that they're making people put
their name tags on I feel like the only thing
I noticed, and I wasn't in the weeds of it,
but it looked like just tagging your tents and maybe
putting your date thought instead of just expected it to
be worse.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Me saying they were upset about the changes. But then
when I looked at the changes, I couldn't figure out
what they'd be upset about. It seemed like the only
rule was that you had to put your name, address
and phone number on your thing, which I mean, I
guess I don't feel like that's crazy to say, put
your name, address and phone number.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
If it blows away, they'll know who it is because
people already anything else about it. No, I mean, there's
changes coming that weren't part of what was written yesterday
about you know, they're bringing in some of those corporate
tends might move people around RV Lott has complaints. But
that story, I think Ross wrote it yesterday. I expected
there'd be more in it that people be mad about.
It didn't seem that bad.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Well, I mean, this year, you know, we've talked a
lot about how the tailgating culture and all that, how
bad it's gotten, or how much they've changed. This is
gonna be the year that will tell the tale of it,
because in the last few years we've either been good
enough or the opponents were good enough that people's kind
of got over it. This year, if the experience of
(10:50):
going to the game is not pleasant, people are not
gonna go.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I mean, I think that's just I think that's just
a fact.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
So we're going to see in these various games, when
we play Florida or when we play Tennessee, we're gonna
kind of see where people are. And at some point
UK has I feel like, I say this till I'm
blue in the face. UK has got to prioritize the
fan experience better.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
I think they did better.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
They're doing better than they did three years ago, but
it's still not.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
I don't think anybody sits there and says we'll be
put a different way. I feel like people at UK
take is a given that people are coming. Okay, they
take it's a given that people are coming, and then
adjust accordingly. I think they're gonna have to start doing
things to ensure that people want to come, period, right,
(11:45):
And I think that's something that really hasn't been their
mindset in the last decade.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
And it's gonna be more prevalent than in a season
like this season, when they're the not the wins aren't
on the field. They've got to make something for the fans.
I mean, season tickets are already down. I mean, so
what if they come out and they struggle, they lose
a couple or games. People are going They're gonna be
more orange in there for Tennessee and Texas than there
will be blue.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
A think, Oh I worry about that. You look at
the Tennessee and Texas game. I mean, just take Texas.
Texas has never been here. Okay, Texas has the richest fans.
There's no fan base that is richer in the SEC
than Texas. I'm not sure if people realize how wealthy
the Texas University of Texas is. They are probably the
(12:26):
wealthiest public school in America. With their alumni, they've never
been here. Lexington is a lot nicer of a place
to go than a lot of places you can go
in the SEC. Then throw in it's the middle of October,
it's during Keenland, which you know will get out there.
Then throw in that they're good enough to potentially win
a national championship this year. This might be the best
(12:49):
Texas team they've had since Vince Young put all that
in there. We are looking at a Texas takeover when
they come. If our team is not playing at a
left I mean, you could literally get a situation where
there's more Texas people than there are Kentucky people. That
is not a crazy scenario at all. We're getting the
Texas takeover. You mentioned Keenland.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
They still have that excitement about just being in the SEC,
even though it's already have a year under their belt.
It's all these new destinations they get to go. Lexington
has become a huge tourist place. I don't know if
y'all have noticed, but if you read any kind of
those magazines at rank places, Lexington has really shot up
the list of places to visit. So I think Texas
is coming in strong. That'll be a Matthew McConaughey game.
(13:31):
I'm sure we'll see him around town. You know, I
didn't eve think about that because his dad played here. Yeah,
so his dad played at Kentucky and he's a Texas fan.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
If you're Matthew mcconnaie, you're coming to that game.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Or Texas wants this trip bad, They're gonna completely take over.
It'll be burnt and orange everywhere.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Well, just like you went down to Texas last year.
Fans like to go to a place they've never been.
That's why I think it'll be a big Texas swarm
in the Kroger field on they play.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
By the way, the apparently the quarterback baseball player. Obviously,
I said the draft was in two or three weeks.
He's in the next year, so he will not be
got a little more high school. Yeah, he's got one
more year of high school. Listen, it would be good
for Stoops if he gets that commitment.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, not a lot of good news around Stoops if
they get that. I know the rules about signing and
how much you can play it up, but you gotta really,
if you're looking forward to the future past this season,
build around that kid, because that's you don't get many
quarterbacks like that. I know Stoops doesn't use them. When's
the last time we used a freshman commitment quarterback? But
that'll be a big GIF if they pull it off.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
One person rights Matt.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I've never had an argument in our family like the
argument about Drew's ketchup comment last night. My daughters are
mad about it. My wife is mad about it. For
what it's worth, I agree with Drew, but not eating
ketchup has caused major problems in our family.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I've got a lot of feedback about the ketchup. I
don't feel like I said anything wrong. I'm not taking
it back. He even set himself his daughters like ketchup.
I assume they're probably young, probably under the age of twelve.
Sorry to the wife, but I stand by it. I
had a few people on my side who there were
more than I thought I would have gotten, but I
did hear from a lot of people who had done. Mario,
you haven't you haven't eaten today?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
You said you don't eat till noon. Are you holding
out till our food thing at two thirty? So you're
gonna be really hungry?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Like here?
Speaker 5 (15:14):
You haven't you you haven't eaten at all? Yeah, all right.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Mario texted me about ketchup on the show. He was
in Louisville. He was upset. Yeah, did you get any
feedback from your unpopular opinion or no?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Nobody got mad at me. I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I'm not sure I know if the phone would ring
on that one or not.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
I will say this, I didn't get one.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
This is all the folks that UK need to know
every unpopular opinion that was said. Drew's ketchup one, Mario's
breakfast one, what was yours?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
TikTok one? Shannon?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
What was yours?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Kentucky's football six wins?
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Kentucky football six wins. All four of those got people
writing saying they disagreed. You know what, No one took
up for the UK pregame and post game shows. Not
one person wrote me and said, man, they are awesome.
Don't touch a thing, no one, And there are people
that will argue with anything.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I say.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Nothing on that one. Just say we'll take a break.
Be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Welcome back.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
It is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
A five nine two twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Couple open lines.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Let's get get some folks in here before I go
to the ones that we have. Did you hear the
story about Hugh Freeze and what they did at Auburn?
All right, so there's been some I don't know if
Hugh Freeze hasn't been recruiting well or but there's been
some fan discontent. So they looked up someone wrote on
a message board for Auburn, Hugh Freeze has been playing
(16:44):
golf every day and not working. And you know, it
got its own life. So like the way people sometimes
been giving Mark Stoop's a hard time, here, they were
doing with Hugh Freeze.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
So then somebody who did an ingenious thing. Do you
know what they did? Or do I saw this? They
are recording.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
They went on the USGA site to find the handicaps
for golf. And every time you play golf, if you
want to keep up your handicap, you report what your
score was. And they found that Hugh Freeze had played
golf ten times in fifteen days in June. And the
Auburn fans are now like, he's not working. He's played
(17:24):
eighteen holes of golf ten times in fifteen days.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
I'll note Mark Stoops no golf, it's.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Zero golf, zero golf. At June had played a little
bit in May.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
No golf in June, Hugh Freeze ten in fifteen days.
If you found out your coach played eighteen holes of
golf ten times in fifteen days, is that too much?
Speaker 7 (17:45):
It is too much because June is maybe one of
the most crucial months for football recruiting. It's a camp session,
it's makeing you make your visits, and June is like
huge when it comes to football recruiting. So you know,
I've got family members that are big Auburn fans. They
ain't happy with Hugh Freeze down there doing this.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Jaf Kay once said, you show me a man that's
good at golf, really good at golf, I'll show you
man that's neglecting something in his life, meaning either his
family or his work. I always thought that was an
interesting quote, Hugh Freeze. Would you be upset if you
found out our coach had done ten to fifteen days golf?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I would, First of all, I believe this was al
dot Com got to give them huge credit for this.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Let's pullshit worthy.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, because you can go into the the USGA system
and just look up golfers. Never would have thought to
look up college football coaches in the South, but they
had four or five that they found and reported on that.
As you mentioned, Stoops playing the least. But I could
see why fans would be all upset. There's some months
were Okay, my coach to go recharge. He's earned some golf.
But it's camp and visit season right now, Shannon upset if.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You're off the fan, Yeah, I mean, could you imagine
if Stoops were out there and we found out he
was golfing ten out of fourteen days or whatever it was.
It's not like Auburn's good either.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
What were they five or seven? Last year? There was
a game in the last couple of years where there
were rumors that Stoops had played that morning before the game,
someone leaked a photo where there was a tea time
under his name, which could have been him setting it up.
It turns out he was him setting it up for
a friend. But there were people very angry. We were
about to play.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
We had a game at night, and he had a
tea time at like nine am.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Someone had taken a picture.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
But it turned out that he was setting it up
for friends that were in town at his country club.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
But I I actually.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Think Auburn fans have a legitimate ten out of fifteen days,
like you said, Ryan, in June, which is big for
college football recruiting. June for college basketball kind of an
off time, but June for college football is big.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Yeah, if you'd made the final four, even the playoffs,
maybe we cut you a little slack. But man, when
you're struggling, you're fighting for your job almost you need
to be out there in the recruiting trail in the
month of golf, during the dead period. For cried out loud,
you can't golf during June like that.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I had a golf ten times in three years and
I just working home my pajamas and talk to you guys,
how is he able to do it?
Speaker 5 (19:53):
By the way, from now on, they'll just not report
their score.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Oh they're done. They'll use fake names in the handicaps.
And by the way, it's easy. Just pick up the
ball and don't report the score. It's much It's much
easier to do that. Who's up next, Scott, Scott, Go ahead, Scott.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
Hey.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
I think at the end of the year we're going
to have a really good UH football team. I think
the the wins may not stars. It started back at
matt Etlham and if you will look our best years,
he developed two and three stars. And I think he's
(20:30):
just better suited to be able to take some guys
that may be hungry and have something to prove. And
I actually think that there'll be an improvement this year
and that maybe next year when he gets his guys
back in there that he's comfortable with, I think that
the football team may turn around.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Okay, so that I appreciate the call again, if you
want to be optimistic A Shannon six Weeks, six wins
Shannon about football, you would say Mark Stoops has always
done the best when he has when he's kind of
being underplayed, when he's being dismissed, when he has guys
that sort of arnas you know, Arn is strong a players,
he usually coaches him up.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
I mean, is there an argument that that could happen
this year.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
There's probably a little bit to that. I completely agree
that Stoops is a guy who probably likes to play
from behind a little bit, whether than with the recruit
he's trying to develop or being told he can't do something.
That's usually when he's at his best is when his
backs against the wall and he's the underdogs motivate. Yeah,
when he's motivated. That's like right now when he put
his golf clubs in the attic for the year and
he's focused on recruiting. Yeah, you know, I agree. I
(21:33):
mean his some of his best players were completely under
the radar.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
I don't know if UK was listening to the show,
but UK put a picture right after we talked about
him being thin and like how cal looked like. They
put a picture out of him looking really thin, and
I thought that, first of all, they were listening when
they put that out. But he did look good. I mean,
stoops stoop puts on and loses weight a lot, and
he looks thin. He looks kind of like, I don't
(21:59):
want to use the but he looks like he's kind
of like ready to rocket.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
He swagger back a little bit.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Man.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
The whole season, to me, depends on Calzada. He's gotta
be good for this team to be good.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
You know.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Vandergriffkind struggled last year at the team struggle. Year before that,
Leary kind of struggle a little bit the team struggle.
If Kalzada is good, this team who maybe could pull
out some wins. We don't think they can.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I think he'll be an upgrade no matter what. Yeah,
I just worry about who he's throwing to Shannon.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
I'm a little upset at our friend Tony Venetti. Would
you like to know why what happened with you? I
hadn't seen him in a couple of months. Ran into
him yesterday and he came up to me and he goes, dude,
are you like take You're taking ozimpic, aren't you.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
No.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
I was like, I've just lost weight, and he was like, no,
you don't have to lie to me you've taken ozempic.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
I'm like, can't you just give me credit for losers?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Why you gotta say I'm taking ozimpic And he was like,
you're not, and he wouldn't believe me.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
And so people are saying the same thing about Mark Stoops.
They're like, oh, he's just taking OZIMPI I feel like
that's a bad thing about ozimpic, Like, I'm proud of myself.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I've lost way.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Don't be telling me I took ozempic Tony Venetti, and.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
I feel like Mark Stoops should say the same thing
unless he took ozempick, at which point then he can't say.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I don't think he's taking ozempic. He's in the lab.
They have all that exercise equipment over there. He's probably
doing three of days. And I don't like Tony, who
I heard was wearing a backwards hat yesterday, walking around
with his backwards hat telling me I'm taking ozimpick.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Turn your hat around, Tony, be.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Proud of who you sell.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
That's right. We'll take a break.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
I mean, if there's anything wrong with taking Ocempic, but
we'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
It's KSR. TJ.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay now.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's
Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Working back Tucky Sports Radio. Stop overpaying for sunglasses. If
you're tired of buying expensive sunglasses only to lose or break,
i'ma go to Shady Ray's, American owned company started right
here in Kentucky. They have the best lost and broken replacements.
I broke a pair of mine, took him in, got
another one.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
That's what they do. Shady Rays offers the best protection
program for you.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
And starting this Friday, stores are kicking off their Independence
Day sale early up to fifty percent off all shades
in store offers, including a free mystery pair when you
spend one hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
It is Shady Rays.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
There's one in Lexington, one in Louisville, and Shady Rays.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
Play right here in Shelby County too, right, yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Yeah, well that's where the company start. You drive by
it on the interstate. Now that big, amazing how much
they've grown. We've set and watched Shady Rays and Cornbread
hem yep, grow from like tiny companies to nationwide companies
pretty much solely by yes, I mean I remember, I'm
just kidding it go solely, but that, you know, big,
It's been fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I remember standing over them when they were putting the
last screw and the first pair of sunglasses they ever made.
And now they got this gigantic facility right over here.
You passed by same a cornbraad. We were in the
fields with cornbread when the concept came up with the concept,
and now look at them.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
What person writes is Vince leaving gonna be like Peev leaving.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
You're in Stoop's relationship.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
We'll get bad now that Vince left, like a basketball
did with Peev. No, I mean I have direct communication
with Mark. Not not a lot, but occasionally.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
No, I mean good, here's a good thing about Mark.
I think he listens to too much criticism. But he's
not the kind of guy who says, you can't criticize me.
That's a cal thing Mark Pope. Same way. Like, if
you're ranking the sensitivity scale of criticism, there's nobody that's
(25:29):
been at Kentucky who was more sensitive about criticism than
John cal Perry, which is why when cal Perry would
always do his I don't listen to what they say.
Even when I loved Cal, that was the most ridiculous
thing ever, because Cal would like there could be a writer.
I remember many years ago, when he first got here,
there was a publication called Basketball News. Does anybody even
(25:53):
remember that?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I'm going to guess that they had basketball news.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
I think it was called Basketball News.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
It was like a nation wide weekly newspaper or something
about basketball. Again, no one knows about it, but I
guess Cal had been reading it.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
All is live.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
So there was some columnist on there who occasionally would
criticize him for the whole you know, unfairly, the one
and done and all that stuff. And whenever it would
come in he would call me and Peevee and like
be livid and say, what should I tweet out about this?
And I would go, no one is reading this. The
(26:31):
only way anyone.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Will know it exists is if you tweet it out,
like don't amplify, no one will even know it's happening.
But he took.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Criticism so personally. And you know, now go to the
other end of the scale. There are guys who I
don't even think know when things.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Happen, right like Tubby.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Yeah, I don't know that Tubby ever knew what anyone
ever said about him about anything.
Speaker 7 (26:59):
I don't think so either.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
You know.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
I think for guys like Stoops and cal they they
try to rest on their laurels a lot of times,
so when the things do go south a little bit,
they get like, yeah, but remember when I did this? Yeah,
I remember when I did that.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Stoops does that. Stoops does the why don't people think
about this? But I've never had Stoops tell me like
Stoops has always said to me, I know, you got
to do your job, Like he has said that to
me probably thirty times before. He's then said, but but
he always says that, And I appreciate that because you
do have to do your job.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
But Cal never saw it like that really ever.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Well Cal also had like didn't he pay someone to
call into his radio shows in New Jersey? And like, well,
I mean that's been that's been cal'sm for a long time.
We'll see with Pope overtime, but I hope he's honest
and what he said to you, and what he said
openly about you know, I'm here to win. If I
don't win, have at it. You know, say what you
got to say, say what you're feeling, give your criticism.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Pope said that not only publicly, like I said, he
has said that to me privately.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
He says, if.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I mean, he looked at me it was so refreshing
and said, if you don't criticize me, this is not
Kentucky basketball. If we ever get to the point that
losing is okay, it's not Kentucky basketball.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
And we've got to that point in football where you know,
we've had some success, we've had some really good years,
so when things are not successful, we're going to criticize.
I mean, you gotta take the good with the bad.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
I guess I've never really figured out I don't know
how much like Mitch doesn't really speak directly to anyone,
so it's hard to know what he thinks about criticism.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I don't think he likes it, but he also doesn't
tell you not to do it, so I have no
clue what he thinks. I assume it's all of the email.
They'll never be somebody that's more involved in UK sports
that I will know less about as.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
A human being than I do. Mitch Parkarker.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I've never spoken to him. This is my sixteenth year.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
One time Mitch invited me out to his farm. He
has a farm out there in Midway right and he
invited me or between Lexington and Midway, and he invited
me to come out there, and he was very nice,
like a great host, and he took me around on.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
A golf court on a golf cart and showed me
his farm.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
He's very proud of it, like I don't think he
I don't think he's out there tilling the land, but
he he just like he's it's beautiful out there and
he was showing me all of it. And I was
there two hours and we talked and he couldn't have
been nicer. He gave like he served a ham sandwich
that was like a piece of ham and cheese and
white bread. Exactly what you think Rich Barnhardt eats for lunch.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
That's what he eats, like no condiments.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I see him pulling up to a little table with
two chairs far offrom the farm and there's a picture
of lemonade and two glasses there were. It was a
long table.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
He sat on one end and I said on the other,
like we were like an old British family.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
With that said, he couldn't have been nicer. It was wonderful.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
And then when I got back in the car, I
thought to myself driving I don't remember one thing we
said during those two.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Hours, Like that's just how he is. He just doesn't
reveal himself.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
I just felt like he does such a great job
on the athletic side of it. He's kind of out
of touch with the fans at times. One is important
to but he does a lot of things really well.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
I think he's a net positive overall. Who's next? Will
Will go ahead?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Will?
Speaker 10 (30:09):
Hey, Matt, I got a couple of things for you.
I know Kentucky has that sort of fake, fake tournament
they have at Reparina. One problem I think we have
is we have eight Division One teams in Kentucky and
they playing seven different conferences. Yeah, so I wish they
could play more because that's I think that's it would
(30:30):
be good for our state if they were all able
to play each other. And the second thing is there's
a freshman softball player for Brackett County. She's her name's
Kendall Johnson. Next week and starting tomorrow, she's playing in
the Team USA, playing with Team USA in the fifteen
under World Cup for softball. And she's over in Italy
(30:52):
now and she's playing for the World Cup. I wanted
to give her a shout out.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Well, congrats to her. I think you know, I appreciate
the call.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
I'm not gonna complain about our schedule because we have
so many good games this year in basketball, I will
say this, I'm little concern. One of the things that's
important about RPI. Tubby was good at this, Cal ended
up being pretty good at this. The stinky teams we
played were good enough to win their conference, so they
didn't kill our RPI. Just looking at the teams we
(31:19):
play next year, we play like three of the worst
teams in the country. Like I think we play I
think Southern was like the worst team in the country
last year, and we play them, So I am a
little worried that can hurt you more than good games
can help you. We're gonna play the team ranked like
three hundred and fiftieth next year, so some of our
(31:40):
steaky games, right drew maybe a little bit stinkier than
they need to be.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
And I don't know the answer. I think Pope did
that a little bit of BYU two, and he's done
that in the past. He I think he has a
method in why he does it. I don't know what
that would be, but if you look at his schedule,
or it could be because they do factor in margin
of victory, that's what it. Maybe he sees, you know,
he's a lot smarter than I am. Maybees a formula
where if you beat a team by fifty it can
help you.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
That's interesting, I hadn't you might be right about that.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Maybe there's maybe he's looked at the numbers and beating
but that means you got to beat him by fifty,
like you can't win by eight or whatever.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
There's one guy that has figured out a way to
use that to his advantage.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
His Pope. That would be interesting.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
I'd be interested to see, like if it maybe we'll ask.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
You, like, would I rather beat one team by fourteen?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
I'm gonna assume we're gonna win by fifty, but that
would be maybe you're right about that.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Who's next, Nancy? Nancy? Go ahead, Nancy.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
Hey, Matt, Okay, So I'm supporting you on the no
shot deal on losing weight. I lost twenty nine pounds
no shots, a lot of willpower, but it can be done.
And so everybody thinks that, you know, oh, I can't
wait unless I'm on those shots or something of that
kind of you know, weight loss meds. That's not true.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
So if you just walk, you.
Speaker 5 (32:53):
Just if you just I appreciate that, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
If you just walk, if you're not someone that walks regularly,
and you just walk, you'll lose.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Seven to ten pounds quickly, Like quickly.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Now I walk, Yeah, I'll walk in the morning.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
Yeah for an hour that.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Yeah, well, I appreciate the call. Then ten pounds are harder, oh,
ten pounds. If you're not someone that walks regularly, if
you just go do it, you'll get rid of that
first ten pounds pretty quickly.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
That is the Matt Jones.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Weight loss tip of the Week. Does that include your
walking where you stop and get skyline halfway? Is that
also part of the tip?
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Well, you want to know the madness behind the skyline?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Yeah, I would love to know it. If I walk
from my house to skyline, here's the way, here's the
math I do. The walk to skyline justifies the skyline. Okay,
the walk back is my exercise. Ahh okay, that makes sense.
Does that make sense?
Speaker 10 (33:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Just so, just make sure you double the exercise.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
It's double the exercise if you're gonna eat Skyline. Now,
if you want to eat normal food, you don't have.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
To double you.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
But if I I justify eating Skyline by saying, I'm
gonna walk all the way out there, and now I've
earned myself Skyline for the.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Walk back, I like that. What about the donuts and
the chocolate chip cook and we don't have to get.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Into all that. He's a great chocolate chip COOKI he's
ever made them. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
You don't have to. You don't have to do it
every day. I'm acting like I'm an expert. I'm just
telling you I didn't take a shot. That's all I'm saying. Uh, tomorrow.
We are Assured Partners seventeen ninety.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
Two, Ali Sheba Way or Hamburg in Lexington. Now here's
the thing.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
First seventy five people get free food from Drakes.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Yeah, that's pretty good food.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
Food truck out there.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
We're gonna have a Drake's food truck for the first
seventy five people at Assured Partners in Lexington seventeen ninety two,
Ali Sheiba Way.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
They're a good host, right, we've done this before. Yeah,
this one's maybe. I think we'll be outside and under
a tent.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Yeah. I remember a few years ago we went there.
They had food trucks. A great great host for the show.
Make sure you get out there. Close to my house
too big, kind of hot. I'm not gonna lie to you,
but you get free food, free food. It's close to
Billy's house. Maybe Billy'll bite over.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Yeah, if you want to do that, you could do
that as well.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
If I'm nine twenty two eighty seven, we will take
a break. Be right back here at the Little Crooked
Creek Safari in Shelby County. It's KSR. Welcome back, take
you sports Radio. I had some whispers from the basketball workouts,
but it's gonna be a longer thing. I'll leave with
that tomorrow. Let me give you one more thing with
assured Partners tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Darius Miller is gonna be there at eleven am. He's
coming to uh do a segment with us. So if
you come out, you can meet Darius Miller as well.
Love Darius, one of my favorites.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Hadn't seen him in a while, but he's uh, he's
local now after retirement. He's shuttled down around here.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Put him up seat, you're yeah, he's he's struggling out
here in the sun.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
All right, I got a question for you as a dad.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
All Right, My Carolina Hurricanes have a ton of cap
space and are trying to make a deal to get
like a star. They really of all the year they're
they've been good for like ten years, but they're missing
like one star and that's always been their issue. So
they saved up all this money. They now have the
money to get a star, so they're trying to get
a trade to do it. They have a lot of
people they can trade. They actually have a really good
(36:05):
farm system. But one of the people that they could
trade that other people would want is Rod Brenda Moor's
is the coach's kid who So the coach's kid is
one of the prospects that they could trade to go
get a star. So you're the GM. You know the
coach likes having his kid on the team. Can you
(36:27):
trade the coach's kid? And, by the way, the coach
usually signs off on it. Would you trade your kid
to get the star that would make your team potentially
be able to win a championship.
Speaker 7 (36:38):
I couldn't make myself do it. I couldn't trade my
kid for somebody else. I just couldn't do it, no
matter how good the other kid was.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
I would probably want you owe it to the team.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Yeah, don't you owe it to the city. Don't you
owe it to the hard working Carolina Hurricane fans that
have supported you for twenty years to tell your kid
get out.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
We need to GE's someone better than you.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
I love, but I love my kid. It's maybe not
the best.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Then we have to fire you.
Speaker 7 (37:07):
Oh I'm I'm taking the bullet for my kid.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
I so you would rather get fired than trade. It's
not like you're trading your kid to the goulog He
just goes and plays for a different team.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
Yeah, unless my kids signed off on it, I couldn't
do it.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
I couldn't.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
So we're firing Ryan. Would you trade your kid?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
If I'm the head coach, I walk into the gym's
office with my son, I set my son down and
we trade him right there together, and I say, up
here to win. I wanted to look him in the
eyes as I shipped him somewhere else to let you
know how serious I am about when.
Speaker 7 (37:35):
He's gonna be a little awkward.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
And you also teaching your kid a lesson? Yeah that,
like you know, this is business, this is we I
still love you.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
I'll see it Christmas. Yes, I will be No, he won't.
Speaker 7 (37:45):
He ain't coming around at Christmas.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Now, fine, then I won't see him Christmas. But I
love my sh know I'll fire. I'll fire him Christmas morning. Well,
I will get around the Christmas. Trade him? How serious?
Speaker 4 (37:57):
And trade your son? If it means helping your team
win a championship?
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Why are you asking me? You already know the answer
to this. I mean, there's business, there's family. The kid
has got to go. It is your job to put
the best team out there. I don't care if it's
your kid, your mom your grandma. You gotta trade them
off and get the best players.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Right.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
Let's look at it as a fan.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Let's say Mark Pope had a kid, okay, and we're
one player away from you know, there's now a hard
cap on players fifteen.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
We're one player away from getting a title.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
There's a dude out there in the portal that, if
he comes, is the missing piece to us winning a title.
But I'm sorry, Mark Pope's kid has to go, and
Mark says, I can't do it. I can't tell my kid. No,
the Kentucky fans are gonna lose their minds.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
This is easier for me. All he has to do
is scoop back one seat into the row behind him
from the bench. So with the Pope family it's like
he's on the team. But sorry, that's pot's gunn.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
Are you keeping your kid and then not winning a
title for the Big Blue Nation?
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Yes?

other guys because Saul was the point Saw.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Could at least well yeah, I mean topic.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
But people didn't like it. People didn't like when he
did that with Saul.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
But this dude, son's obviously good enough to play in
the NHL. He's a good player. I can't do. It's
no way I can look my son in the eye
and said, dude, you're out. I gotta get somebody else.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
He's good enough that he's a good trade piece to
go get something better.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Brenda Moore and you have a chance to get a star.
You gotta tell your son, and I from what I
know of Brenda Moore, he would tell him.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
How long has he been there? I think that matter. See, yeah,
he's got to look out for the franchise.

hangover free. Get a free four pack of Seltzers from
