Now here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
All right, good morning, ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, Grandpa's
and grandma's, aunts and uncles. It is the Friday edition
of Kentucky Sports Radio. Friday, July eighteenth, Ry Lemon, Shannon
the Dude, Drew Franklin. Matt is his last day of
his vacation. Of course, there's some more vacation coming up,
I think in September from young Matthew Harper Jones.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
But he's off this week, Big one in September, Big
one in septembery Foundation.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You know, if only, if only, he would count the
vacation days he takes versus the vacation days at Shannon takes.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Oh, I could count them up right now. Who took
eight weeks of vacation? No, ten weeks of age?
Speaker 6 (01:10):
Not me? Not me?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
So Keeckyports Radio, sponsored as always by our good friend TJ. Smith,
called the TJ. Smith Office, and he'll watch Shannon. He'll
make them pay, make them pay. Our Clark's Puppy shop
phone numbers eight five nine two eight Oho two to
eight seven. It's eight five nine two eight o cats.
A vision glass text machine has been my cell phone
this week and it it blew up yesterday. We'll get
into that in a little bit, and then, of course
(01:34):
we'll have our whiskey thief call the day. So, guys, uh,
it's Friday. We're usually on remote location. We have a
rare studio show in the summer on a Friday, and
we walk in and Wild Eggs has loaded up with
breakfast stuff or there's all kinds of food out there
from Wild Eggs. Once again, Shannon's not here. Of course,
MAT's not here, Mario's not here, So it leaves it
(01:56):
all for Drew and Billy and I eat to eat
the rest of it.
Speaker 7 (01:57):
Today, when I was walking through the parking, my stomach
did a little rumble. I didn't eat breakfast and I thought,
oh man, I might not make it to noon. I'm hurting.
I had no idea I would go up that elevator.
So what is there like ten different meals over there?
The whole table's covered.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It's their summer menu, and they brought like every new
item on their summer menu for us to try.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
I'm working my way. I'm about a third of the
way through all of them. Maybe by the end of
the show, I'll have all of a down show.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
See like how many things from Wild Eggs Ryan can
eat in ten minutes?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
No, yeah, no, no, hush your mouth, cush your mouth.
But we do have a wild Eggs contest we're going
to talk about here in just a minute. I'm really
excited about it, so just just hang on for that.
But really, there's guys, there's there's two topics to open
the show, and you can pick which one you want
to talk about, Mark Stoops, UK football at SEC Media
Days or Archie Goodwin.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Those are the those are the two.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Stories, not the couple of the cold Play concert.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
We're going to get to that number one where.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
We're going to get to that on that one. But yeah,
okayah if I will say but I was just kidding.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Go say you you pick which which of those three
stories you want to start with, Drew.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
We'll save the astronomer, you know, build up anticipation.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
Uh, the story sweeping uh Sweeping America is uh, you
know TBT and Archie. That's good, but that's later tonight.
So let's start with what's already happened with Stoops yesterday
at MEETIA Days. Okay, let's just go ahead and get
get Mark out of the way.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
He spoke to uh some meet local media before he
went to the podium.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I didn't listen to anything said in the podium, but
I listened to we said in local media cause I
thought that's when we get the good stuff.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Oh, I listened to the podium and not the local media.
So if we put our brains together, it's like we
were there.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
So it looked like it was like Nick roush Adam Luckett,
John Hale, Dick Gabriel, probably some other local TV guys,
all the all the big stars.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
Stephen Peak, don't forget Steven p he's.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
One of his videotape and I think that we watched
the video.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Of hardest working crew in Atlanta this week.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
But I think, to me, as a fan, Stoops had
a little chip on his shoulder yesterday, and that's what
I want to see. I want to seem kind of mad,
kind of angry, kind of ticked off about this whole
motivated meme that's going around and everything. I heard some
things from him yesterday that as a fan I needed to do.
I needed to hear my coach ticked off. And I
(04:11):
think ticked off, Mark.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Like ticked off.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, I lean a little the other direction.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
He for the first time commented on the motivated talk.
It's been a meme since the spring. I was hoping
he would laugh it off and you know, be a
good sport. No, he does not seem to like that whatsoever.
Does not care for the motivated talk. In fact, Nick
Roush salute to Nick Roush, very first question in the
ballroom live on SEC Network, OMNI Atlanta, completely full of
(04:40):
people in media and I'm watching and I hear first question,
get a little mike little tap, Nick Roush, Kentucky Sports Radio.
Nice Mark, how motivated would you say you are Jesus nick.
I mean, you couldn't even wait three questions. But Stoops
made it clear he's not a huge fan of that.
In fact, I think he said the media is having
fun with it. Here's quote, Oh you got it dialed up?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I'll play along and let the media have their fun
and take their shots, and that's cool with me.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Sounds that's motivation right there. That sounds like a motivated
Mark stupients not. I think he's ticked off. But you know,
when you're motivated, you can't get ticked off easily. I
think that shows as a level of motivation. Drew.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
I don't like how he's blaming the media. Sure, I've
participated in it. I did a motivated mean yesterday. But
this started with the fan base on Twitter. Yes, it
went for months before we leaned into it at all,
just here recently. So yes, have I have I made
a motivated joke. I've made several. But it's not a
media thing. This is your whole fan base. You got
(05:39):
to pay attention to your audience. This is being said
by everyone, or at least the big online presence.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
So he followed that up. He says, maybe y'all just
looking for some AMMO. And he said it wasn't his
intention to lay low this offseason.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Yeah, he did say he's with motivation. It's what it's
been every year. Nothing's changed. Trying to silence our memes,
he said grateful a lot. So maybe we start the
grateful Stoops meaning.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
He did say he'd rather be grateful Mark Stoops the
motivated Mark.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
So I think yesterday was the turning of the page
from motivated Mark Stoops to grateful Mark Stoops. And then yeah,
he even though we all think he's laying low this offseason,
he said, no, this has been operation as usual. Nothing's changed.
We're just trying to get better. I know there's a
narrative out there that I'm kind of hiding from making
headlines and doing interviews, but he denied it.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I got said, Shan, I heard some things I need
to hear because it was like almost like a sense
of urgency with Stoops yesterday, Like he knows that last
year was unacceptable and he knows he mentioned several times
about the strength of the schedule so hard this year,
Yet he kind of came across as like a guy
that is kind of ticked off. At the world and
I'm gonna prove you wrong.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I think he said fourth and one mentality, So, you know,
I think that's good self awareness. You know, he realizes
that there's a lot of urgency going into the season.
Going back to the grateful Mark stoops though, like, how
do we do that meme? Do we do like praying
hands like a Mark students with the breaking hands?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
He's grateful, like grateful? Ye, how do we How do
we show.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
That brain hands throwing your hands in the air, hugging,
just being thankful.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, okay, I like that.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
But yeah, I don't know, though, Ryan, that I heard
anything that's going to change my mind on how I
think the season is going to go.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I mean, you did though, you think you.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Did well as far as the wins and losses. Maybe not.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
But I heard some things from him that make me
think that he ain't happy.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
And he's going to work his butt off to try
to keep it from being that beat like that.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I like that mentality.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
I do too.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
I wish I had those same glasses. I saw it
as similar to kind of cow with all the media,
the radio shows are saying this, but it's really this,
you know, they let them have their jokes. They're not
really fans. I'm starting to get more of the defensive
of just the headlines around him. That's more of the
vibe I got.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
One of the I think the biggest criticisms of coach
stops has been like things are haven't been great. But
he's like, yeah, but we won ten games. Yeah, but no,
Tennessee's you're right.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You got to go out there and you just got
to win the games. That's the only thing that's going
to flip this fan base.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
He also says he don't want headlines, but he cussed,
and if you cuss on the podium at SEC Media Days,
he said the S word, not scrimmage from yesterday, the
actual S word. And that's not a big deal. We're
all adults. But when you say it at the podium
at SEC Media Days on live TV, that's a headline.
And that went everywhere, not just with Kentucky people, all
media down there. So he wants to lay low, but
(08:23):
he said this blank's hard or something like that. And
when you throw that quote out there, you've that's a
headline that's not ks R or spiraling something. If you
say this blank is hard on the stage at SEC
media days. You've now made a headline.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Willie Kylie Stein said that word here yesterday on our
own shows.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It gets dumped here. But now, of course it's hard, though,
I mean, that's what you signed up for. That's why
you're making millions upon millions of dollars. You're not making
that salary to play in an easy conference.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
We all know it's hard. It's the SEC, but that's
what you signed up for.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
So already in two months and spring practice to now,
I already feel better about the team. And I know
by the time and kickoff the season starts, I'm going
to be back on board.
Speaker 8 (09:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Man, six wins, seven wins, let's go. I know I'm
going to talk myself into because I'm already halfway there.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
I feel like you're with Matt and the Reds. You're
Matt in the Reds with Kentucky Football. I feel like
one time there, we'll do predictions one week in your
your bowl game, and predictions another week maybe two wins.
Now now you're back, you're back on.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Back on After what I heard yesterday.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Grate foot stoops has you background.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
And the backpacks that had their digital numbers on the
back of the back.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
And started on these backpacks. What are we doing? What
are we doing?
Speaker 5 (09:31):
I've never seen anything like that.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
It felt very unserious to me.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
It almost seemed like, uh, something you would have for
your elementary school kids.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Yeah, like that, like I expect metle kids walking in
showing off their backpacks.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
My backpack, it's got my phone number, my address on
the digital street in the back.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Here's my emergency contact information in case I get lost,
you know that type of thing.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Though.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
At West Broadway Elementary School, I had a backpack. It
was a G Shannon. You would have loved it. You
like jeeps and like the it was the back though.
And then I had like a clear thing from my
windshield and you could see in my backpack. I could
also hit a button and turn on my brake lights.
I feel like that's what Kentucky football was doing yesterday.
But I was in first grade and they're at SEC
media Days.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Yeah, I think so. I think they're right.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
They would been a hit with the elementary school students,
not with maybe college athletes.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I have been a little critical of SEC media Days.
I will say Josh kattis really all of them, but
Katis especially did a good job of explaining how he
feels there's truly been a transition from all the problems
last year to accountability and having a better locker room.
And if anyone hadn't seen it yet, I can't remember
exactly what video. There's a ton of interviews yesterday. It
might have been with SEC Network.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
It's on Lane.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Yeah, okay, then there's SEC Network. We have it on
the website. But Josh Kattis did a really good job
speaking on behalf of the locker room. So I'm getting
my backpack jokes off. But there were good parts of
yesterday and I thought that was a highlight.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
And if there's two guys I think you can trust
off his football team, it's Josh Kattis and Ty Bryant,
who was on the show with you in April. They
both kind of said the same thing. Man, things are different.
They've changed some things and we're not going to have
maybe some issues we've had the last couple of years.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
And Jordan love It and Alex Safari, who were also
there yesterday, they also were speaking about it too. I
just thought Katus especially did a job of explaining how
he sees a difference him being a senior and he
saw the dip the last two years and he seems
to really believe things have changed behind the scenes. We
don't know how that'll translate onto wins and losses, but
it seems like they really did clean that up from
(11:29):
a year ago.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
So we've got a couple more football you know, we've
been so basketball heavy this week with the TBT tournament,
all the TBT guys, we brought in a lot of basketball.
We're going to kind of football heavy today. So we've
got Landon Young is going to join us at ten thirty.
Just found out he was in town.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Let's have him on. So he's going to come on.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
And then at eleven o'clock, Aiden Larros, the punter with
the zero toughness rating, is going to come on Drew
to defend himself. So it's a kind of a football
heavy show today.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to hearing from Aiden Laros. I've
I've played the game a little bit since they came out.
I don't feel like he's much tougher than they gave
him credit. I mean, then you see the.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Video UK put out, he's checking the balls off his chest.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I think we should.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Prove that he is a tough guy as a matter
of fact, Drew, you tell me if this is a
good idea or now it would be better if Mario
were here.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
But I think that.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Maybe you should arm rustle Aiden and let's see if
he can beat you in an arm wrestling contest, you know,
because we can show how much tougher he actually is
than what the video games get him credit for.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
I would happily do that, but it's my phone, right.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Yeah, he can't come in. He's got to call into.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
We can set that up though, Yeah, and then media
day coming up there. He looks like a kind of
a big tough guy, you know. He's now a little skinny,
little kicker punter. He's a kind of a He's Australian
or is a New Zealand, South Africa, South Africa.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Other part of the planet.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
So we can bring up since it's just verbal, you know,
we could bring up situations where you would need to
be tough and ask him what he would do in
this situation. There was no toughness test, no tougher punter
in the world than Glenn Pakalak. He would punt it
eighty yards and then go down and knock your jock off.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
If you tried to return to one of his punts
Mass day with like Asda, so would Max Duffy.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
I still take.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Glenn Pacalac over all of them. So so yeah, Landing
Young at ten thirty aid and Larros at eleven.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
And then like I said, we got to get some
really kind of some funny stuff about the the kiss Cam,
Kiss Cam.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
We got a game tonight, got a game tonight, got
to talk about Archie Goodwin. But we go back to
Wild egg before we go to the commercial break. My
son Josiah works for Wild Eggs. He's got a one
hundred dollars gift card in his pocket right now, and
he's working at wild Eggs right now. Oh okay, the
first person that can find Josiah at wild Eggs, he's
(13:38):
gonna give you that one hundred dollars gift card.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
I like this game.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I love this game. He's in on it, he knows it.
He's got the gift card in his pocket right now.
So if you want a one hundred dollar gift card
from Wild Eggs, go find my son Josiah.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
No hints, I'm not gonna tell you where he is.
I'm gonna tell you what he's doing. You gotta go
find him and you get a one hundred dollars gift card.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
And if he is in the act of carrying a
tray full of French toasters something, please at least let him,
you know, do his job.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Yeah, don't stick your hand down his pay don't tackle him.
Yeah what his pocket? Le'll stick your hand down his cricket.
He's got food, Why he's carrying food?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Hopefully, don't talk about ten roof Nashville.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Okay, that's true, So so go find your side. It's
find Josiah for a one hundred dollars Wild Day's gift card.
All right, we'll take our first break. Come back eight
five nine two A two to eight seven. It's eight
five nine two ao cats. It's grateful Mark Stoops not motivated,
Mark Stup.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Grateful memes. They're pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Okay, we'll get closing a lot more when we come
back on Kentucky's Sports Radio. All right, welcome back Kentucky's
Sports Radio. Freaky Friday edition of Kentucky Sports Radio. Ryan
Drew and Shannon here in the studio today after being
out at the Chas Bar last couple of days interviewing
some T and T guys already grateful Mark Stoops is
taking off. I mean I've got three or four memes
(14:50):
already about it. So I think Drew, that's gonna.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
That's gonna. I think our fan base will have a
little fun with that today this weekend.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
If he if his goal was to get the motivated
Mark Stoops to end, it works.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
It works. Just going to yeah, you said you had
an update on the backpack, I do.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Every one that went to SEC media days got a
backpack for showing up the three players from every team.
So it turns out they just threw Kentucky under the
bus by featuring them to show off the back back
backpacks because other fan bases, including Tennessee's message board other
fan bases, were making fun of Kentucky's backpacks. But it
turns out everyone there got one. Kentucky was just the
(15:28):
example they used.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
So let me get this right.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Kentucky is the very last team on the very last
day of se TU football media Day.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
They were third to last after okay, last day, last day.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I wait to the last day to show pictures of
student athletes in these backpacks, and it just happened to
be the Kentucky.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
I think the SEC's mocking us.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
I think so.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
I think they always showed my apologies to the three
young men wearing them Catus Afari and I love it.
I apologize. I thought it was a Kentucky only thing
and we were trying to distract with our backpacks. But no,
this was the SEC and they've they've thrown Kentucky under
the bus.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
So do we blame Tom Hart, Darry Noka and Peter
Burns that Who are going to blame here? Yep, Cole Kublick,
Chris Doran, Chris Doring, We're blaming them all? Well, listen, Lang, Paul,
Paul finebaumb So there you go.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Randall Cobb. I watched Randall Cobb on the COVERAG yesterday.
He's really good at that, and talking to him at Derby,
I don't know how far he wants to pursue it.
He enjoys doing it, but he's he's really good at
being an SEC network analyst.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
From him, I do want to mention.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Before the guys went to SEC Football Media Days, Coach
Stoops and several of the players went to beat meet
some special Olympic kids, spent the whole afternoon with them.
Had lunch with them, played games with them, and just
if you saw that, I mean it is warms your
heart when you see something like that. So I mean
we forget that these players are really eighteen, nineteen twenty
year old kids and to see them interact with some
(16:47):
special Olympians, and like I said, Stoops was there almost
all day eight lunch with him. It just made my
heart warm to see that and read about that what
they did with those kids.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Definitely, and they do so much of that that doesen't
get to social media never know about. You know, every
once in a while we'll see pictures of something or
a video, but that goes on constantly with most, if
not all players on the team. I know Caatus I
keep bringing him up. He's very active, been that way
his whole career. He even talked about that yesterday about
why he does it. But they do a good job
of giving back to the community where it's children, hospital,
(17:18):
special Olympics, ron On McDonald, whatever it is, they're very involved.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
One more give back kind of thing happened for UK football.
If you remember the name Scott Mitchell, he was a
receiver in like two thousand and four, two thousand and five.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Here Kentucky rich Brooks first recruiting class. Rich rich Brooks
first recruiting class.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
You're right, Juco Transfer.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
He made news, national news when he chased down an
arsonist out in California. I think him and his lady friend.
I don't know they're married or dating, but their lady friend,
they were down on a walk or maybe a jog
or something, and they saw hike a little hike and
they saw somebody, actually Shannon start a fire. After California
just had these devastating fires. This dude's up in the
(18:00):
in the canyon in the mountain and trying to start
a fire. Took off and Scott Mitchell chased him down
and kind of held him at bay till the police
came in and arrested the guy. A hero man, he
was a hero.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
I like that is a crazy story.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I mean, he could have potentially saved a lot of
people's lives and a lot of homes.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I mean, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I mean, just had this huge wildfire and this guy
is just trying to start a fire out out in
the middle of the woods.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Yeah, and just lit a dry tree out there in California.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
And then tried to take off and just let the fire,
you know, engulf the countryside again, and Scott Mitchell chased
him down and held him till the police came to
arrest the guy.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
I like, Mitchell said, the guy was about one hundred
and fifty yards away and he still caught him. And
his direct quote NBC was, I didn't know I still
had it. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Well he was.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I on the story I saw it was advertised as
a former University Kentucky football player.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
The headline X Kentucky football player chases down arsonists.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I know Coach Brooks tweeted about it, kind of congratulating him,
and you can see you could feel he felt like
a proud papa that one of his own did this
on the behalf of other people.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Yeah, and Mitchell was only here two years. I know
some people had mentioned online they didn't remember him. But
he played if he didn't start every game in those
two years, so he played a lot, played a lot,
had a touchdown in the Governor's Cup from Andre Woodson.
Three career touchdowns and then moves back home to California.
Is chasing down Arsness eight five nine.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Two o two two eighty seven. That's our Clark's pumping
shop phone number. Before we get to the calls and
the landing young to Obama the hour, we do need
to kind of hit on what Archie Goodwin said on
here yesterday.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
The text machine.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Blew up, my cell phone blew up, social media blew up,
and I think the general consensus, guys, I want both
of you to comment on it.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
You just had.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
He gave us a different perspective of what happened that
season from his point of view as an eighteen year
old kid.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
And you could see it. You could.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You could see he's sitting there, a thirty year old
man just being raw and open and sincere about feelings
he's been dealing with for twelve years. And drew you
and I saw him. You can see his body language
he as he opened up, you could tell it was
it still hurts him today.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
And he came across.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I think most people left the interview saying I am
now an Archie Goodwin fan for life.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
There's people online apologizing for being too critical back in
was it twenty twelve thirteen? Yeah, I said, the moment
it was over, that's the best interview we've had with
a player. And I don't even think it's close after
going back and listening to it, and during the break
he let out an excel and even told us, like,
I've waited since I played here to let that out
and tell my side, because at the time, you can't
(20:33):
just what you're doing an interview's post game. You can't
be like, I'm not playing the right position. You're kind
of controlled. But now twelve years later he's like, I
finally got to explain why it didn't work out the
way I wanted it to, why I did this what
I thought should have worked out, and just his explanation.
He's a very intelligent guy, and I just talked about
that team he went by, went through some colpoint guards
like everybody was downhill until you listen, but he was
(20:55):
crafty you get in the lane. But after that, cow
kind of got away from that, very knowledgeable of all things.
And then even during the break, we were talking about
DeMarcus and some incidents de Marcus had recently, and Archie's
getting into what why he thinks Demarcus's brain ticks the
way it does, and I'm just like, you were not
the eighteen year old that we were trying to get
anything out of when you're here for a year. But
(21:16):
I loved every minute of hearing from him, especially the
part the big takeaway everyone had about why his one
season didn't go the way he wanted.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
To Shannon, what was your takeaway sitting there listening to it.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, I mean, I agree with Drew.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I mean I think he was probably the best player
interview we've ever had on ks are very well spoken.
He went into a long explanation, you know, explaining his
side of things, and you know, it's probably something you
can't say when Calipari is the coach here. But now
that Calipari has moved on, I think we're gonna get
a lot more stories from behind the scenes and what
went on with players during that time. But I thought
(21:46):
he was great on the show.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
And he was trying to because he kept saying, I
might throw on call into the bus. That's up for
the listener to de side. But he really wasn't trying
to trash cal even though some of what he's saying
it kind of has a negative, you know, twist to
how cow was running the team.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
I couldn't help but feel for the guy. You could
hear the painting his voice, you could see his body language.
It really hurts him to this day that he couldn't
do for Big Blue Nation what he wanted to do
while he was here. And I think it was good
therapy for him to get that off his chest.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Definitely. I think they could lose by fifty tonight, which
isn't gonna happen, but they could be out tonight. And
this was a successful week for Archie good when just
interacting with the fans and telling his story.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I thought Khalil Whitney was good the day before that
talking about his troubles Archie yesterday, that one SoundBite went
six minutes long, and you and I just let him go.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Just let him go and works through some things. And
he was doing his own podcast.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
We were listening he was, and you could see he
would go, you know, walking through it.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
It was really an amazing kind of watch.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
I hated when he said Cal told him, well Ryan
has to be the point guard.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Oh, I didn't want to hear that.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Didn't have to do anything, all right, Well, take our break,
come back, big old Landing, young gonna join us talking
at the UK football in his career.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
We come back. I'll got back a sports.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
Radio TJ Smith Personal injury attorney called TJ He'll make
him pay.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
All right, welcome back, Matt Jones. Still off. This is
the last day of his week vacation before football starts.
Ryan Drew and Shannon here in studio today and journey
to say kind of how this happened. You and I
were working at kas Bar and Grill last week, kind
of going through some of the photos. We go up
in the attic and there's this monster poster of Landing Young, Like,
(23:26):
it's what three feet by four feet?
Speaker 5 (23:28):
I mean it's a big one.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Yeah, big poster.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
So I called it.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
It's Landing Young gotta be big.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
That's true. The man is big.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
So I called his dad, Randall, and I said, hey, man,
we got this great picture of landing. We've just been
sitting up here since we're nuns remodeling. Would you like it?
And he said sure? And then during the course conversation,
he goes, yeah, Land's here right now. I'm like, what said, Yeah,
he's been farming all summer he's here. Yeah, of course,
So I called him, got him to come on Landing
it's man, it's good to catch up with you. I
(23:54):
can't believe you're getting ready to strike your fifth year
in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints. But uh,
but uh, congratulations on a great career. You're a dad
now you got a second kid on the way. It
just blows my mind. Landing Young's a grown man now,
pushing what twenty seven years old or whatever.
Speaker 9 (24:11):
Yeah, I'll be twenty eight this year here in August.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Dude, that's crazy. Huh.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
But you've been with the Saints ever since you left
UK signed with them again, so I guess you like
what's happening down there.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Absolutely, And you know, obviously we had a rough patch
last year, but we got a new young coach in
from Philly and they obviously just got off a stellar season.
So we're excited to kind of see what he brings
to the program and the culture down there and try
to turn things around a little bit.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
Hey, land and Drew Franklin here, we want to hear
a little bit about your time with the Saints. But first,
just you being a good Kentucky boy. What's it like
being in Louisiana for so long?
Speaker 10 (24:47):
Now?
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Is that starting to feel like home. He gets to
do any farming down there or anything to feel like
you're back in the bluegrass.
Speaker 9 (24:54):
I get to get a little fishing in. That's about it.
To make me feel like I'm back in Kentucky. But
you know, we were scared to death going down there
when I first got drafted there just you know, coming
from a small town living in Lexington, you know a
lot of my life too, and you know, going to
a big, big city like New Orleans, it just it
was it was very Uh it was a lot to handle.
(25:14):
And uh, you know, then coming after the fourth year
and not knowing if we were going to sign back
or not. You know, we were sitting there crying thinking
about telling our neighbors by and you know, all the
people we met and the friends we made down there.
It definitely has become a part of our routine. We
love it down there, and we love the people, We
love the culture, and we love New Orleans.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Now.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
So when you were what elementary school did you go
to here in town? Pick it the well At Piccadom
Elementary School. Third grade, they say, Landon, what do you
want to be when you grow up? I would bet
one hundred to one odds, and on one to one
odds that you said, I want to be a farmer
and an NFL football player, and probably the farmer was
more important than the NFL football player.
Speaker 9 (25:54):
It's funny because I don't remember what ages switched off,
but for the longest time I wanted to ride bulls
in the rodeo. And then I got big and they said, well,
we're gonna need some bigger bulls.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
I'd like to give that a try.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
I always wanted, yeah, exactly, And I always wanted to farm,
you know, I Dad we were always on the farm
on the weekends all the way up through college ball
in tag got drafted, and uh, you know, I'd always
you know, done a little bit with Dad here and
there and heard his stories, heard my granddad's stories, and
I kind of wanted to fall in their footsteps always
and uh uh kind of take that over. So you
(26:30):
know that's uh, we're starting to do that a little bit.
We've we've bought our first heart of cattle and we're
we're getting back into it.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
So and surely now you're your farm's in Grayson County.
Speaker 9 (26:39):
Yeah, yeah, we uh about two hours west of Lexington,
and uh we we raised cattle there. My dad used
to raise a bunch of pigs and cattle. Uh my
great granddad used to have an orchard down there and
uh raised a lot of apple, pear, peach and everything.
And uh but now we're we're just doing uh freezer
beef until I'm done playing. So anybody who wants a
(27:01):
half hole of beat, we raise it. We'll sell it
to you, good quality Kentucky may Kentucky butcher product, like
the shout out.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
And I also loved just NFL players just farming in
the in the off season.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Farms, happy year places football half a year.
Speaker 7 (27:16):
You're a veteran New Orleans now, But when you first
got there, after your your nice career here at Kentucky,
you're on that offensive line. What was your kind of
wake up moment? Was there a defensive lineman you faced
that was just a freak of nature, or was there
a moment in camp where or anything where you really said, oh, yeah,
this is this is the league.
Speaker 9 (27:36):
I will say because obviously I wasn't a Day one starter,
but I was always on special teams starting off the season,
and uh so my kind of welcome to the NFL
moment was one of I think It was my first
or second game. We played Tampa Bay and I was
on field goal, playing right guard, right next to the snapper,
(27:56):
and I had VDA Bay and a Domicus who lined
up against me. And I was like, wow, that is
a large mass of human right across from me. And
I was sitting there and I was like, you know,
maybe this isn't for me.
Speaker 7 (28:11):
We'll see after this play.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
And I did all right, But yeah, those two guys
they called a V technique on their side of the
ball against me on that field goal. I was like, man,
this is different. And just from that, I didn't even
have to play an actual snap offense. I just those
guys lined against me. And I was like, yeah, here,
it is welcome now.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
When you were here, you and Drake and these guys
kind of set the foundation for the Big Blue Wall.
Kentucky kind of came known for the Big Blue Wall.
Came olne you the last couple of years, that's kind
of been maybe an achilles heel of the football program.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
You watching from.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Afar doing what you did when you were here to
help establish that tradition of the Big Blue Wall. What's
been the problem and how can they fix it?
Speaker 6 (28:57):
You know?
Speaker 9 (28:58):
I think a lot of it's just it's unity. It's
got coming back to it. And you remember all those
guys when we were here, between Drake Logan, DK, even
Nick Haynes, Col Moser, all those guys, we were all
super close. And you know, some of these guys may
be close, but it wasn't a whole unit closeness like
we had back then. And that's the number one thing
(29:19):
that's going to make your O line work well together
is having unity outside of the field. And I've been
able to spend a little bit of time with these guys,
and you know, it's a whole different different thing in
college football mouth. You know, now the nil's come out
now that all these coaches changes and everything like that.
But Slarman did a really really good job of, you know,
(29:42):
instilling that unity between all of us and saying, no
matter what happens, whether you fail, whether you lose a block,
everyone's gonna lose a block, go out there with the
mindset that you're better than the person across from you.
And that's what made us really good. So we didn't
care about losing, We didn't care about this, that or
the other. We were going out there and we knew
that whether we lost one rep, two reps, five reps,
(30:02):
we were still better than that person across from us.
And you know, we lived with that pride and that
pride for the university, for the state, for our families,
and you know, some of its ebbs and flows of
players and recruiting. But I definitely I've been able to
spend a little big time with these guys this last
offseason and hopefully we're we're starting to turn turn it
(30:23):
around and get that unity back between the offensive line.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
Offensive lineman that's not a position where you see they're
the star of the team very often. So your group
was very unique in that Kentucky was branded around you
guys and being the big blue wall, and other teams
knew if you were playing Kentucky you were having to
deal with that offensive line. You mentioned being proud. Was
there just an extra sense of pride knowing that, like
the offensive lines kind of were the stars of those
(30:47):
teams and that the success or even the failures, that
all kind of fell on you all a little more
than it hasn't in most programs and most cultures.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
One hundred percent. And that's what we signed up for.
You know, we wanted to make being an old lineman
look fun, and it is fun. You know when you
sit in those meeting rooms with us, like, we have
a blast. We joke around and I always say that
every single level you go to, it's different people. It's
a same people, different faces, and those are the good
(31:16):
offensive line rooms when you can still joke around, you
can have fun and make being an old lineman fun.
That's what we signed up for at the end of
the day, is to be the be the get no
congratulations on whatever, and take all the blame at the
end of the day. And we got to be okay
with that. But you know, when we started being you know,
embracing that role at the UK and we were just
(31:38):
out there having fun, you know, having competitions between each
other and everything like that, you obviously saw the what
happened in turn. You know, we we went out there
and we won games, and we rushed for a lot
of yards and we got to know be known as
you know, a really good offensive line that a lot
of teams didn't really want to go against.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
And so.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
It was just it was a blast playing and like
I said, it's that pride that kind of carried us
through those years at UK.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Well man, I appreciate you taking some time off your
tractor to come and talk to us a little bit.
It's some beef, I asked him. I said, what you
been doing this summer farming? I've been doing farming, you know,
to get ready. Of course, your athletic career didn't start
a piccadom. They started with the South Lexington Legends eight
year old All Star team. He was my first baseman.
Looked me right in the eye. He's eight years old.
He's looked me right in the eye. And Landing, we're
(32:25):
so proud of you. The city of Lexton's proud of you.
Lafayett High School's proud of you. Jesse Clark Middle School's
proud of you. UK's proud of you. You guys set
the tradition that we still li is today. Everybody still
talks about the big Blue Wall and really happy to
hear you're doing well and your dad, now your kids,
and just really proud of them.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
The man you've become.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
I appreciate it, and I appreciate you'll have me on
the show all.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Right, Landing, young ladies, gentle Wan, the pride of Lexton,
you know, lexington't went for years and years and years
and didn't produce an NFL player. And now in the
last couple of years they got Landing, Young Jed Willis,
Devin Key, Lucky Jackson, all about the same age, all
at once. And Landing was kind of the leader of
all those guys.
Speaker 7 (33:03):
Had a Damien Harris in there, Damien Harris, Dane Key
next year. I think so nice little Kentucky pipeline. I
like that he lined up against uh Dominic and Sue
and considered selling beef full time. While his hands in
the dirt, He's looking at Sue, but his brain is going,
maybe I should farm.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Maybe Farmer's not a bad option after all. All right,
we'll take our break, come back, we will. We will
go to the phone line. Whop up the phone lines
right now, eight five nine two, eight oh two to
eight seven. It's eight five nine towheitto catch Ryan Drew
and Shannon and were right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Welcome back Kentucky Sports Radio, Ryan Drew and Shannon here.
We're in studio today. And I love that whole group. Landing,
(33:39):
Young Cash, Daniel, Drake Jackson, those three Kentucky kids, they
just brought a work ethic and a blue collar attitude
to the team.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
It's kind of been missing the last couple of years.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
I feel like, yeah, and it's just we all know,
it's just a little different when they're one of us
out there. And that recruiting colass was special. Kentucky had
a lot of good contributors from the state in that.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Era eight five nine two o two two eight seven.
Case he's been holding for a while. So how are you, Casey?
Speaker 8 (34:03):
Hey, good morning fellas. So I was wondering if you
guys had watched The Spies because Shane Gillis I thought
killed it, and there was a lot of mixed reaction
on Twitter. But I wanted to see he picked at
a couple of arkentechy guys. He kind of poked at
Carl and poked at s g a a little bit.
I thought he was funny. So I just wanted to
see what you guys thought. And I hope you guys
(34:23):
have a great weekend.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Go care, Thanks, Thanks, Casey had a good weekend.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Also, Yeah, Drew brought this up during one of the
commercial breaks, told us one of the jokes, you can
say that joke.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Did you hear to answer a question. I really enjoyed it.
It was very awkward. Without being there, you can't tell
how like bad they're bombing or forgetting applause, So it's
hard to really tell if it was as awkward as
it felt on TV. But he had some He had
some jokes that every setting you're kind of whoa surprise?
He said that one on in Disney Network.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Here, Uh what saying about Carl?
Speaker 7 (34:53):
Oh no, don't let me pick on Carl. He said,
Carl Towns is here, Hey girl, Sorry Carl? Uh that
you know that became a Carl trend there through the
playoffs a little bit says to Carl. He said, he
gave a shout out to Shay and said everyone sitting
around him in foul trouble. He did do the Norm
(35:14):
McDonald oj joke that was very controversial at the Spies
in the mid nineties. He brought it back at the
end as he was walking off, he said, I have
one more joke, and he did it, which I loved
as a NORM guy. That one. All the Norm fans
appreciated that one because it was a nod to him.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Say, that's what it was a nod to Norm McDonald's so.
Speaker 7 (35:30):
He brought that one back. That's a famous Espie moment,
the one I told Ryan during the break that I'll
repeat here on the show. It's so stupid. It's the
most childish of the jokes he made. But he was
talking about, uh, show hey a Tani and how he
has a bookie and then he said, a bookie that's
what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend before bedtime. I
enjoyed that one, but.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Uh, it's very were they there was Bill and his.
Speaker 7 (35:54):
I they didn't show them that most people he talked about,
they showed they were there. Yeah, and a lot of
uncomfortable face is Yeah, it was one of those I
like uncomfortable comedies. So I enjoyed it. It was even
being at home watching it, like, oh, my goodness, is
this he has to feel so awkward up there because
it didn't feel like he was getting laughs and he
was pushing the envelope a little bit. Even would apologize
for one after he said it, But overall I enjoyed it.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
Is it up there when Norm McDonald did it and
then no, nothing really.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
Know, but it is that Casey said, you either loved
it or you hated it. A lot of people absolutely
hated it, and some people kind of enjoy that kind
of humor and the kind of the tension in the room.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
While we're talking about TV shows, the Late Show with
Stephen Colbert is getting canceled and starting next May may have.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
Twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I gotta admit I've probably seen that show two times,
maybe three. I just didn't care for it. Do either
one of you guys watch it? Is that something that's
gonna bother you?
Speaker 3 (36:48):
God to watch it? And I was like, this is terrible.
Who is watching this? And so will? I won't miss
him at all personally.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
So I used to not even regularly, but I would
semi frequently only watch guess it's called the Colbert Rapport
on Comedy Central. Yeah, back in like college. I since
he moved to CBS, has it even CBBS?
Speaker 5 (37:10):
I believe.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
I don't know that. I've seen it twice and he
did that with a decade more.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
Yeah, He's been on forever, and I was a pretty.
Speaker 7 (37:16):
Frequent Letterman watcher. I just I don't know if it's
that style of TV or him, I don't know what,
but I did not follow him.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
It was like a big political rant. I'm like, this
guy He's just obnoxious, so I could. I had to
turn it off every time I try to watch any
of it.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Do those shows even work anymore?
Speaker 5 (37:34):
I just get ready to say that. I know Jimmy
Fallon right ses Seth Meyers still do his show. I
have no idea.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I mean Jimmy Kimmell, Yeah, Kimbell definitely does.
Speaker 6 (37:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
It seems since they're not replacing it, maybe CBS recognizes
that that model sucks.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
Boy, it used to work. That was the hit.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
I used to be in the Letterman Lenno Battles after.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
The after the local news at Evansville. We game on
at ten o'clock, so it started at ten thirty. Yeah,
Johnny Carson or Jay Lennel and then David Letterman right
after that.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
Everybody watched that every every night.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Some of these guys they put on it like one
thirty in the morning. I'm going to who was watching this?
Remember Carson Daily used to have a show It started
at like two o'clock in the morning, and it was
like thirty minutes. Like, really, they're gonna put They're gonna
have a show on and it's only on for thirty minutes.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
I think he was watching that I think Carson Daily
is one of the most operated people I've ever seen in
my life.
Speaker 7 (38:21):
You weren't trioga.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
Dry, no, no personality, not charismatic because I think my
little Carson Daily way.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
I feel about Drew Carey hosting The Right.
Speaker 7 (38:32):
Do we need to add Carson Daly to Ryan's list?
Speaker 5 (38:35):
I think we do that felt personal.
Speaker 9 (38:37):
Well.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
I just always felt like, man, how's this guy doing on?
Speaker 7 (38:40):
What do you watch them on?
Speaker 6 (38:41):
It?
Speaker 7 (38:41):
I don't even know where I would consume Carson Daily.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
He's on the Today's Show, I think on the Day
Show now he used to do the voice, all the
MTV stuff he used to do.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
Yeah, I just used to watch him after school counting
down for my favorite music videos. Haven't kept up with
them much since these late night shows though. They only
get like one good segment anyway, and then it's on
social media in the morning that I think that's what's
really killing them.
Speaker 5 (39:03):
Recap seven, Who's next?
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Syeing Marcia, Marcia, go ahead, Marcia, Good morning everyone.
Speaker 10 (39:13):
I have two things.
Speaker 6 (39:14):
Two things.
Speaker 10 (39:15):
First, I want to wish happy anniversary to Robert and
Misty English four years.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
Nice mister.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
We'll see them, Yes, we'll see them tonight. At the
TVT game, and I have something to say about the TVT.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
Go ahead.
Speaker 10 (39:33):
My favorite thing in the world is seeing former players,
Okay play. I love seeing our former players. However, if
most of the games you see them, like at that
Tates Clear game the other night, they're just out there
having a good time. Do you want to see defense
and rebound, You're gonna be frustrated. See I get frustrated.
(39:56):
Kendall was fussing at me at that game the other night.
Speaker 6 (39:59):
Mama, I'm down because I want to see defense. When
you go to them TBT games, it's for real, they
playing and you're seeing. I'm getting two things at once.
I'm seeing former players and they playing, and I'm so excited.
I can't wait for tonight. And even though Old beating
(40:20):
Louisville was the cream, I just seen Louisville lose and
don't have to look at they spitting the ugly faces.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
Larcia.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
If there's anybody who wants to who's excited about it,
you're you were a girl. I knew it was going
to be there tonight supporting the team. You were there
every game last year, so enjoyed a in tonight.
Speaker 6 (40:39):
I sure will love you guys love you mars.
Speaker 5 (40:41):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
And happy thing that Willie was talking about, they're going
to be locked down defensively, you know he's talking about
that on the show yesterday.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Well even Andrew Harrison said that something about, you know,
the defense are gonna play. So maybe, uh, maybe Sean
Woods is trying to change the focus of.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
The team a little bit, even though it's a TBT tournament.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
My biggest takeaway from that was Willie saying that he
doesn't even pick up a basketball until he goes out there,
Like you think that these guys are probably practicing somewhere
and they're just like, I guess they had that scrimmage
or I can't say scrimmage, they had that get together.
But you know, he's like, he doesn't even touch a basketball,
he said.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
He said he didn't even own.
Speaker 7 (41:13):
A basketball, just like riding a bike. That's what he said.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Okay, people think he was on the golf course yesterday
when he called us, and you know.
Speaker 7 (41:21):
I did hear him mower.
Speaker 5 (41:22):
We thought of golf cart, golf cart.
Speaker 7 (41:24):
Oh yeah, playing it back in my head, that was
definitely a golf.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Golf Yeah, I agree, he was playing golf it was
supposedly meeting with somebody.
Speaker 7 (41:31):
Well, you can't play by yourself, that's no fun. So
he met someone at the golf course.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
But I was glad to believe it was meeting like
a recruit or a current player, or so maybe he's
playing golf with somebody.
Speaker 7 (41:40):
Yesterday, I think you're you're realizing in this moment that
you got played.
Speaker 5 (41:43):
I didn't get played.
Speaker 7 (41:44):
He had to get his eighteen holes in for thirty six. Actually,
I think yesterday he confessed to multiple rounds a day.
Speaker 5 (41:51):
Well, that's what he was doing.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
That's what that sound was.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
That sound was him and the golf course.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
Clubs were rattling around in the bag yep.
Speaker 7 (41:57):
And at one moment I heard a mower, but then
the motor said on it different. So he was by
a lawnmower on the course. Then fired up his golf cart.
Speaker 5 (42:04):
We got it. We're on look at this, he told reporters.
All right, well take our break. We come back.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
The least toughest man in all of EA college football
sports video game, Aiden Larros, Kentucky's punter, joins us we
come back.
Speaker 5 (42:17):

A vision glass text machine has been my cell phone
this week and it it blew up yesterday. We'll get
into that in a little bit, and then, of course
(01:34):
we'll have our whiskey thief call the day. So, guys, uh,
it's Friday. We're usually on remote location. We have a
rare studio show in the summer on a Friday, and
we walk in and Wild Eggs has loaded up with
breakfast stuff or there's all kinds of food out there
from Wild Eggs. Once again, Shannon's not here. Of course,
MAT's not here, Mario's not here, So it leaves it
(01:56):
all for Drew and Billy and I eat to eat
the rest of it.
Speaker 7 (01:57):
Today, when I was walking through the parking, my stomach
did a little rumble. I didn't eat breakfast and I thought,
oh man, I might not make it to noon. I'm hurting.
I had no idea I would go up that elevator.
So what is there like ten different meals over there?
The whole table's covered.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It's their summer menu, and they brought like every new
item on their summer menu for us to try.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
I'm working my way. I'm about a third of the
way through all of them. Maybe by the end of
the show, I'll have all of a down show.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
See like how many things from Wild Eggs Ryan can
eat in ten minutes?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
No, yeah, no, no, hush your mouth, cush your mouth.
But we do have a wild Eggs contest we're going
to talk about here in just a minute. I'm really
excited about it, so just just hang on for that.
But really, there's guys, there's there's two topics to open
the show, and you can pick which one you want
to talk about, Mark Stoops, UK football at SEC Media
Days or Archie Goodwin.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Those are the those are the two.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Stories, not the couple of the cold Play concert.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
We're going to get to that number one where.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
We're going to get to that on that one. But yeah,
okayah if I will say but I was just kidding.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Go say you you pick which which of those three
stories you want to start with, Drew.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
We'll save the astronomer, you know, build up anticipation.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
Uh, the story sweeping uh Sweeping America is uh, you
know TBT and Archie. That's good, but that's later tonight.
So let's start with what's already happened with Stoops yesterday
at MEETIA Days. Okay, let's just go ahead and get
get Mark out of the way.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
He spoke to uh some meet local media before he
went to the podium.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I didn't listen to anything said in the podium, but
I listened to we said in local media cause I
thought that's when we get the good stuff.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Oh, I listened to the podium and not the local media.
So if we put our brains together, it's like we
were there.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
So it looked like it was like Nick roush Adam Luckett,
John Hale, Dick Gabriel, probably some other local TV guys,
all the all the big stars.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
Stephen Peak, don't forget Steven p he's.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
One of his videotape and I think that we watched
the video.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Of hardest working crew in Atlanta this week.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
But I think, to me, as a fan, Stoops had
a little chip on his shoulder yesterday, and that's what
I want to see. I want to seem kind of mad,
kind of angry, kind of ticked off about this whole
motivated meme that's going around and everything. I heard some
things from him yesterday that as a fan I needed to do.
I needed to hear my coach ticked off. And I
(04:11):
think ticked off, Mark.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Like ticked off.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, I lean a little the other direction.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
He for the first time commented on the motivated talk.
It's been a meme since the spring. I was hoping
he would laugh it off and you know, be a
good sport. No, he does not seem to like that whatsoever.
Does not care for the motivated talk. In fact, Nick
Roush salute to Nick Roush, very first question in the
ballroom live on SEC Network, OMNI Atlanta, completely full of
(04:40):
people in media and I'm watching and I hear first question,
get a little mike little tap, Nick Roush, Kentucky Sports Radio.
Nice Mark, how motivated would you say you are Jesus nick.
I mean, you couldn't even wait three questions. But Stoops
made it clear he's not a huge fan of that.
In fact, I think he said the media is having
fun with it. Here's quote, Oh you got it dialed up?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I'll play along and let the media have their fun
and take their shots, and that's cool with me.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Sounds that's motivation right there. That sounds like a motivated
Mark stupients not. I think he's ticked off. But you know,
when you're motivated, you can't get ticked off easily. I
think that shows as a level of motivation. Drew.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
I don't like how he's blaming the media. Sure, I've
participated in it. I did a motivated mean yesterday. But
this started with the fan base on Twitter. Yes, it
went for months before we leaned into it at all,
just here recently. So yes, have I have I made
a motivated joke. I've made several. But it's not a
media thing. This is your whole fan base. You got
(05:39):
to pay attention to your audience. This is being said
by everyone, or at least the big online presence.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
So he followed that up. He says, maybe y'all just
looking for some AMMO. And he said it wasn't his
intention to lay low this offseason.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Yeah, he did say he's with motivation. It's what it's
been every year. Nothing's changed. Trying to silence our memes,
he said grateful a lot. So maybe we start the
grateful Stoops meaning.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
He did say he'd rather be grateful Mark Stoops the
motivated Mark.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
So I think yesterday was the turning of the page
from motivated Mark Stoops to grateful Mark Stoops. And then yeah,
he even though we all think he's laying low this offseason,
he said, no, this has been operation as usual. Nothing's changed.
We're just trying to get better. I know there's a
narrative out there that I'm kind of hiding from making
headlines and doing interviews, but he denied it.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I got said, Shan, I heard some things I need
to hear because it was like almost like a sense
of urgency with Stoops yesterday, Like he knows that last
year was unacceptable and he knows he mentioned several times
about the strength of the schedule so hard this year,
Yet he kind of came across as like a guy
that is kind of ticked off. At the world and
I'm gonna prove you wrong.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I think he said fourth and one mentality, So, you know,
I think that's good self awareness. You know, he realizes
that there's a lot of urgency going into the season.
Going back to the grateful Mark stoops though, like, how
do we do that meme? Do we do like praying
hands like a Mark students with the breaking hands?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
He's grateful, like grateful? Ye, how do we How do
we show.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
That brain hands throwing your hands in the air, hugging,
just being thankful.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, okay, I like that.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
But yeah, I don't know, though, Ryan, that I heard
anything that's going to change my mind on how I
think the season is going to go.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I mean, you did though, you think you.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Did well as far as the wins and losses. Maybe not.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
But I heard some things from him that make me
think that he ain't happy.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
And he's going to work his butt off to try
to keep it from being that beat like that.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I like that mentality.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
I do too.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
I wish I had those same glasses. I saw it
as similar to kind of cow with all the media,
the radio shows are saying this, but it's really this,
you know, they let them have their jokes. They're not
really fans. I'm starting to get more of the defensive
of just the headlines around him. That's more of the
vibe I got.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
One of the I think the biggest criticisms of coach
stops has been like things are haven't been great. But
he's like, yeah, but we won ten games. Yeah, but no,
Tennessee's you're right.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You got to go out there and you just got
to win the games. That's the only thing that's going
to flip this fan base.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
He also says he don't want headlines, but he cussed,
and if you cuss on the podium at SEC Media Days,
he said the S word, not scrimmage from yesterday, the
actual S word. And that's not a big deal. We're
all adults. But when you say it at the podium
at SEC Media Days on live TV, that's a headline.
And that went everywhere, not just with Kentucky people, all
media down there. So he wants to lay low, but
(08:23):
he said this blank's hard or something like that. And
when you throw that quote out there, you've that's a
headline that's not ks R or spiraling something. If you
say this blank is hard on the stage at SEC
media days. You've now made a headline.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Willie Kylie Stein said that word here yesterday on our
own shows.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It gets dumped here. But now, of course it's hard, though,
I mean, that's what you signed up for. That's why
you're making millions upon millions of dollars. You're not making
that salary to play in an easy conference.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
We all know it's hard. It's the SEC, but that's
what you signed up for.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
So already in two months and spring practice to now,
I already feel better about the team. And I know
by the time and kickoff the season starts, I'm going
to be back on board.
Speaker 8 (09:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Man, six wins, seven wins, let's go. I know I'm
going to talk myself into because I'm already halfway there.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
I feel like you're with Matt and the Reds. You're
Matt in the Reds with Kentucky Football. I feel like
one time there, we'll do predictions one week in your
your bowl game, and predictions another week maybe two wins.
Now now you're back, you're back on.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Back on After what I heard yesterday.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Grate foot stoops has you background.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
And the backpacks that had their digital numbers on the
back of the back.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
And started on these backpacks. What are we doing? What
are we doing?
Speaker 5 (09:31):
I've never seen anything like that.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
It felt very unserious to me.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
It almost seemed like, uh, something you would have for
your elementary school kids.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Yeah, like that, like I expect metle kids walking in
showing off their backpacks.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
My backpack, it's got my phone number, my address on
the digital street in the back.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Here's my emergency contact information in case I get lost,
you know that type of thing.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Though.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
At West Broadway Elementary School, I had a backpack. It
was a G Shannon. You would have loved it. You
like jeeps and like the it was the back though.
And then I had like a clear thing from my
windshield and you could see in my backpack. I could
also hit a button and turn on my brake lights.
I feel like that's what Kentucky football was doing yesterday.
But I was in first grade and they're at SEC
media Days.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Yeah, I think so. I think they're right.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
They would been a hit with the elementary school students,
not with maybe college athletes.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I have been a little critical of SEC media Days.
I will say Josh kattis really all of them, but
Katis especially did a good job of explaining how he
feels there's truly been a transition from all the problems
last year to accountability and having a better locker room.
And if anyone hadn't seen it yet, I can't remember
exactly what video. There's a ton of interviews yesterday. It
might have been with SEC Network.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
It's on Lane.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Yeah, okay, then there's SEC Network. We have it on
the website. But Josh Kattis did a really good job
speaking on behalf of the locker room. So I'm getting
my backpack jokes off. But there were good parts of
yesterday and I thought that was a highlight.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
And if there's two guys I think you can trust
off his football team, it's Josh Kattis and Ty Bryant,
who was on the show with you in April. They
both kind of said the same thing. Man, things are different.
They've changed some things and we're not going to have
maybe some issues we've had the last couple of years.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
And Jordan love It and Alex Safari, who were also
there yesterday, they also were speaking about it too. I
just thought Katus especially did a job of explaining how
he sees a difference him being a senior and he
saw the dip the last two years and he seems
to really believe things have changed behind the scenes. We
don't know how that'll translate onto wins and losses, but
it seems like they really did clean that up from
(11:29):
a year ago.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
So we've got a couple more football you know, we've
been so basketball heavy this week with the TBT tournament,
all the TBT guys, we brought in a lot of basketball.
We're going to kind of football heavy today. So we've
got Landon Young is going to join us at ten thirty.
Just found out he was in town.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Let's have him on. So he's going to come on.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
And then at eleven o'clock, Aiden Larros, the punter with
the zero toughness rating, is going to come on Drew
to defend himself. So it's a kind of a football
heavy show today.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to hearing from Aiden Laros. I've
I've played the game a little bit since they came out.
I don't feel like he's much tougher than they gave
him credit. I mean, then you see the.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Video UK put out, he's checking the balls off his chest.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I think we should.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Prove that he is a tough guy as a matter
of fact, Drew, you tell me if this is a
good idea or now it would be better if Mario
were here.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
But I think that.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Maybe you should arm rustle Aiden and let's see if
he can beat you in an arm wrestling contest, you know,
because we can show how much tougher he actually is
than what the video games get him credit for.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
I would happily do that, but it's my phone, right.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Yeah, he can't come in. He's got to call into.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
We can set that up though, Yeah, and then media
day coming up there. He looks like a kind of
a big tough guy, you know. He's now a little skinny,
little kicker punter. He's a kind of a He's Australian
or is a New Zealand, South Africa, South Africa.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Other part of the planet.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
So we can bring up since it's just verbal, you know,
we could bring up situations where you would need to
be tough and ask him what he would do in
this situation. There was no toughness test, no tougher punter
in the world than Glenn Pakalak. He would punt it
eighty yards and then go down and knock your jock off.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
If you tried to return to one of his punts
Mass day with like Asda, so would Max Duffy.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
I still take.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Glenn Pacalac over all of them. So so yeah, Landing
Young at ten thirty aid and Larros at eleven.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
And then like I said, we got to get some
really kind of some funny stuff about the the kiss Cam,
Kiss Cam.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
We got a game tonight, got a game tonight, got
to talk about Archie Goodwin. But we go back to
Wild egg before we go to the commercial break. My
son Josiah works for Wild Eggs. He's got a one
hundred dollars gift card in his pocket right now, and
he's working at wild Eggs right now. Oh okay, the
first person that can find Josiah at wild Eggs, he's
(13:38):
gonna give you that one hundred dollars gift card.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
I like this game.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I love this game. He's in on it, he knows it.
He's got the gift card in his pocket right now.
So if you want a one hundred dollar gift card
from Wild Eggs, go find my son Josiah.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
No hints, I'm not gonna tell you where he is.
I'm gonna tell you what he's doing. You gotta go
find him and you get a one hundred dollars gift card.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
And if he is in the act of carrying a
tray full of French toasters something, please at least let him,
you know, do his job.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Yeah, don't stick your hand down his pay don't tackle him.
Yeah what his pocket? Le'll stick your hand down his cricket.
He's got food, Why he's carrying food?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Hopefully, don't talk about ten roof Nashville.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Okay, that's true, So so go find your side. It's
find Josiah for a one hundred dollars Wild Day's gift card.
All right, we'll take our first break. Come back eight
five nine two A two to eight seven. It's eight
five nine two ao cats. It's grateful Mark Stoops not motivated,
Mark Stup.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Grateful memes. They're pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Okay, we'll get closing a lot more when we come
back on Kentucky's Sports Radio. All right, welcome back Kentucky's
Sports Radio. Freaky Friday edition of Kentucky Sports Radio. Ryan
Drew and Shannon here in the studio today after being
out at the Chas Bar last couple of days interviewing
some T and T guys already grateful Mark Stoops is
taking off. I mean I've got three or four memes
(14:50):
already about it. So I think Drew, that's gonna.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
That's gonna. I think our fan base will have a
little fun with that today this weekend.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
If he if his goal was to get the motivated
Mark Stoops to end, it works.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
It works. Just going to yeah, you said you had
an update on the backpack, I do.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Every one that went to SEC media days got a
backpack for showing up the three players from every team.
So it turns out they just threw Kentucky under the
bus by featuring them to show off the back back
backpacks because other fan bases, including Tennessee's message board other
fan bases, were making fun of Kentucky's backpacks. But it
turns out everyone there got one. Kentucky was just the
(15:28):
example they used.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
So let me get this right.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Kentucky is the very last team on the very last
day of se TU football media Day.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
They were third to last after okay, last day, last day.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I wait to the last day to show pictures of
student athletes in these backpacks, and it just happened to
be the Kentucky.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
I think the SEC's mocking us.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
I think so.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
I think they always showed my apologies to the three
young men wearing them Catus Afari and I love it.
I apologize. I thought it was a Kentucky only thing
and we were trying to distract with our backpacks. But no,
this was the SEC and they've they've thrown Kentucky under
the bus.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
So do we blame Tom Hart, Darry Noka and Peter
Burns that Who are going to blame here? Yep, Cole Kublick,
Chris Doran, Chris Doring, We're blaming them all? Well, listen, Lang, Paul,
Paul finebaumb So there you go.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Randall Cobb. I watched Randall Cobb on the COVERAG yesterday.
He's really good at that, and talking to him at Derby,
I don't know how far he wants to pursue it.
He enjoys doing it, but he's he's really good at
being an SEC network analyst.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
From him, I do want to mention.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Before the guys went to SEC Football Media Days, Coach
Stoops and several of the players went to beat meet
some special Olympic kids, spent the whole afternoon with them.
Had lunch with them, played games with them, and just
if you saw that, I mean it is warms your
heart when you see something like that. So I mean
we forget that these players are really eighteen, nineteen twenty
year old kids and to see them interact with some
(16:47):
special Olympians, and like I said, Stoops was there almost
all day eight lunch with him. It just made my
heart warm to see that and read about that what
they did with those kids.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Definitely, and they do so much of that that doesen't
get to social media never know about. You know, every
once in a while we'll see pictures of something or
a video, but that goes on constantly with most, if
not all players on the team. I know Caatus I
keep bringing him up. He's very active, been that way
his whole career. He even talked about that yesterday about
why he does it. But they do a good job
of giving back to the community where it's children, hospital,
(17:18):
special Olympics, ron On McDonald, whatever it is, they're very involved.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
One more give back kind of thing happened for UK football.
If you remember the name Scott Mitchell, he was a
receiver in like two thousand and four, two thousand and five.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Here Kentucky rich Brooks first recruiting class. Rich rich Brooks
first recruiting class.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
You're right, Juco Transfer.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
He made news, national news when he chased down an
arsonist out in California. I think him and his lady friend.
I don't know they're married or dating, but their lady friend,
they were down on a walk or maybe a jog
or something, and they saw hike a little hike and
they saw somebody, actually Shannon start a fire. After California
just had these devastating fires. This dude's up in the
(18:00):
in the canyon in the mountain and trying to start
a fire. Took off and Scott Mitchell chased him down
and kind of held him at bay till the police
came in and arrested the guy. A hero man, he
was a hero.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
I like that is a crazy story.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I mean, he could have potentially saved a lot of
people's lives and a lot of homes.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I mean, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I mean, just had this huge wildfire and this guy
is just trying to start a fire out out in
the middle of the woods.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Yeah, and just lit a dry tree out there in California.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
And then tried to take off and just let the fire,
you know, engulf the countryside again, and Scott Mitchell chased
him down and held him till the police came to
arrest the guy.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
I like, Mitchell said, the guy was about one hundred
and fifty yards away and he still caught him. And
his direct quote NBC was, I didn't know I still
had it. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Well he was.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I on the story I saw it was advertised as
a former University Kentucky football player.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
The headline X Kentucky football player chases down arsonists.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I know Coach Brooks tweeted about it, kind of congratulating him,
and you can see you could feel he felt like
a proud papa that one of his own did this
on the behalf of other people.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Yeah, and Mitchell was only here two years. I know
some people had mentioned online they didn't remember him. But
he played if he didn't start every game in those
two years, so he played a lot, played a lot,
had a touchdown in the Governor's Cup from Andre Woodson.
Three career touchdowns and then moves back home to California.
Is chasing down Arsness eight five nine.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Two o two two eighty seven. That's our Clark's pumping
shop phone number. Before we get to the calls and
the landing young to Obama the hour, we do need
to kind of hit on what Archie Goodwin said on
here yesterday.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
The text machine.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Blew up, my cell phone blew up, social media blew up,
and I think the general consensus, guys, I want both
of you to comment on it.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
You just had.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
He gave us a different perspective of what happened that
season from his point of view as an eighteen year
old kid.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
And you could see it. You could.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You could see he's sitting there, a thirty year old
man just being raw and open and sincere about feelings
he's been dealing with for twelve years. And drew you
and I saw him. You can see his body language
he as he opened up, you could tell it was
it still hurts him today.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
And he came across.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I think most people left the interview saying I am
now an Archie Goodwin fan for life.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
There's people online apologizing for being too critical back in
was it twenty twelve thirteen? Yeah, I said, the moment
it was over, that's the best interview we've had with
a player. And I don't even think it's close after
going back and listening to it, and during the break
he let out an excel and even told us, like,
I've waited since I played here to let that out
and tell my side, because at the time, you can't
(20:33):
just what you're doing an interview's post game. You can't
be like, I'm not playing the right position. You're kind
of controlled. But now twelve years later he's like, I
finally got to explain why it didn't work out the
way I wanted it to, why I did this what
I thought should have worked out, and just his explanation.
He's a very intelligent guy, and I just talked about
that team he went by, went through some colpoint guards
like everybody was downhill until you listen, but he was
(20:55):
crafty you get in the lane. But after that, cow
kind of got away from that, very knowledgeable of all things.
And then even during the break, we were talking about
DeMarcus and some incidents de Marcus had recently, and Archie's
getting into what why he thinks Demarcus's brain ticks the
way it does, and I'm just like, you were not
the eighteen year old that we were trying to get
anything out of when you're here for a year. But
(21:16):
I loved every minute of hearing from him, especially the
part the big takeaway everyone had about why his one
season didn't go the way he wanted.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
To Shannon, what was your takeaway sitting there listening to it.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, I mean, I agree with Drew.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I mean I think he was probably the best player
interview we've ever had on ks are very well spoken.
He went into a long explanation, you know, explaining his
side of things, and you know, it's probably something you
can't say when Calipari is the coach here. But now
that Calipari has moved on, I think we're gonna get
a lot more stories from behind the scenes and what
went on with players during that time. But I thought
(21:46):
he was great on the show.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
And he was trying to because he kept saying, I
might throw on call into the bus. That's up for
the listener to de side. But he really wasn't trying
to trash cal even though some of what he's saying
it kind of has a negative, you know, twist to
how cow was running the team.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
I couldn't help but feel for the guy. You could
hear the painting his voice, you could see his body language.
It really hurts him to this day that he couldn't
do for Big Blue Nation what he wanted to do
while he was here. And I think it was good
therapy for him to get that off his chest.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Definitely. I think they could lose by fifty tonight, which
isn't gonna happen, but they could be out tonight. And
this was a successful week for Archie good when just
interacting with the fans and telling his story.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I thought Khalil Whitney was good the day before that
talking about his troubles Archie yesterday, that one SoundBite went
six minutes long, and you and I just let him go.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Just let him go and works through some things. And
he was doing his own podcast.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
We were listening he was, and you could see he
would go, you know, walking through it.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
It was really an amazing kind of watch.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
I hated when he said Cal told him, well Ryan
has to be the point guard.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Oh, I didn't want to hear that.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Didn't have to do anything, all right, Well, take our break,
come back, big old Landing, young gonna join us talking
at the UK football in his career.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
We come back. I'll got back a sports.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
Radio TJ Smith Personal injury attorney called TJ He'll make
him pay.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
All right, welcome back, Matt Jones. Still off. This is
the last day of his week vacation before football starts.
Ryan Drew and Shannon here in studio today and journey
to say kind of how this happened. You and I
were working at kas Bar and Grill last week, kind
of going through some of the photos. We go up
in the attic and there's this monster poster of Landing Young, Like,
(23:26):
it's what three feet by four feet?
Speaker 5 (23:28):
I mean it's a big one.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Yeah, big poster.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
So I called it.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
It's Landing Young gotta be big.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
That's true. The man is big.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
So I called his dad, Randall, and I said, hey, man,
we got this great picture of landing. We've just been
sitting up here since we're nuns remodeling. Would you like it?
And he said sure? And then during the course conversation,
he goes, yeah, Land's here right now. I'm like, what said, Yeah,
he's been farming all summer he's here. Yeah, of course,
So I called him, got him to come on Landing
it's man, it's good to catch up with you. I
(23:54):
can't believe you're getting ready to strike your fifth year
in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints. But uh,
but uh, congratulations on a great career. You're a dad
now you got a second kid on the way. It
just blows my mind. Landing Young's a grown man now,
pushing what twenty seven years old or whatever.
Speaker 9 (24:11):
Yeah, I'll be twenty eight this year here in August.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Dude, that's crazy. Huh.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
But you've been with the Saints ever since you left
UK signed with them again, so I guess you like
what's happening down there.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Absolutely, And you know, obviously we had a rough patch
last year, but we got a new young coach in
from Philly and they obviously just got off a stellar season.
So we're excited to kind of see what he brings
to the program and the culture down there and try
to turn things around a little bit.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
Hey, land and Drew Franklin here, we want to hear
a little bit about your time with the Saints. But first,
just you being a good Kentucky boy. What's it like
being in Louisiana for so long?
Speaker 10 (24:47):
Now?
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Is that starting to feel like home. He gets to
do any farming down there or anything to feel like
you're back in the bluegrass.
Speaker 9 (24:54):
I get to get a little fishing in. That's about it.
To make me feel like I'm back in Kentucky. But
you know, we were scared to death going down there
when I first got drafted there just you know, coming
from a small town living in Lexington, you know a
lot of my life too, and you know, going to
a big, big city like New Orleans, it just it
was it was very Uh it was a lot to handle.
(25:14):
And uh, you know, then coming after the fourth year
and not knowing if we were going to sign back
or not. You know, we were sitting there crying thinking
about telling our neighbors by and you know, all the
people we met and the friends we made down there.
It definitely has become a part of our routine. We
love it down there, and we love the people, We
love the culture, and we love New Orleans.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Now.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
So when you were what elementary school did you go
to here in town? Pick it the well At Piccadom
Elementary School. Third grade, they say, Landon, what do you
want to be when you grow up? I would bet
one hundred to one odds, and on one to one
odds that you said, I want to be a farmer
and an NFL football player, and probably the farmer was
more important than the NFL football player.
Speaker 9 (25:54):
It's funny because I don't remember what ages switched off,
but for the longest time I wanted to ride bulls
in the rodeo. And then I got big and they said, well,
we're gonna need some bigger bulls.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
I'd like to give that a try.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
I always wanted, yeah, exactly, And I always wanted to farm,
you know, I Dad we were always on the farm
on the weekends all the way up through college ball
in tag got drafted, and uh, you know, I'd always
you know, done a little bit with Dad here and
there and heard his stories, heard my granddad's stories, and
I kind of wanted to fall in their footsteps always
and uh uh kind of take that over. So you
(26:30):
know that's uh, we're starting to do that a little bit.
We've we've bought our first heart of cattle and we're
we're getting back into it.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
So and surely now you're your farm's in Grayson County.
Speaker 9 (26:39):
Yeah, yeah, we uh about two hours west of Lexington,
and uh we we raised cattle there. My dad used
to raise a bunch of pigs and cattle. Uh my
great granddad used to have an orchard down there and
uh raised a lot of apple, pear, peach and everything.
And uh but now we're we're just doing uh freezer
beef until I'm done playing. So anybody who wants a
(27:01):
half hole of beat, we raise it. We'll sell it
to you, good quality Kentucky may Kentucky butcher product, like
the shout out.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
And I also loved just NFL players just farming in
the in the off season.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Farms, happy year places football half a year.
Speaker 7 (27:16):
You're a veteran New Orleans now, But when you first
got there, after your your nice career here at Kentucky,
you're on that offensive line. What was your kind of
wake up moment? Was there a defensive lineman you faced
that was just a freak of nature, or was there
a moment in camp where or anything where you really said, oh, yeah,
this is this is the league.
Speaker 9 (27:36):
I will say because obviously I wasn't a Day one starter,
but I was always on special teams starting off the season,
and uh so my kind of welcome to the NFL
moment was one of I think It was my first
or second game. We played Tampa Bay and I was
on field goal, playing right guard, right next to the snapper,
(27:56):
and I had VDA Bay and a Domicus who lined
up against me. And I was like, wow, that is
a large mass of human right across from me. And
I was sitting there and I was like, you know,
maybe this isn't for me.
Speaker 7 (28:11):
We'll see after this play.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
And I did all right, But yeah, those two guys
they called a V technique on their side of the
ball against me on that field goal. I was like, man,
this is different. And just from that, I didn't even
have to play an actual snap offense. I just those
guys lined against me. And I was like, yeah, here,
it is welcome now.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
When you were here, you and Drake and these guys
kind of set the foundation for the Big Blue Wall.
Kentucky kind of came known for the Big Blue Wall.
Came olne you the last couple of years, that's kind
of been maybe an achilles heel of the football program.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
You watching from.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Afar doing what you did when you were here to
help establish that tradition of the Big Blue Wall. What's
been the problem and how can they fix it?
Speaker 6 (28:57):
You know?
Speaker 9 (28:58):
I think a lot of it's just it's unity. It's
got coming back to it. And you remember all those
guys when we were here, between Drake Logan, DK, even
Nick Haynes, Col Moser, all those guys, we were all
super close. And you know, some of these guys may
be close, but it wasn't a whole unit closeness like
we had back then. And that's the number one thing
(29:19):
that's going to make your O line work well together
is having unity outside of the field. And I've been
able to spend a little bit of time with these guys,
and you know, it's a whole different different thing in
college football mouth. You know, now the nil's come out
now that all these coaches changes and everything like that.
But Slarman did a really really good job of, you know,
(29:42):
instilling that unity between all of us and saying, no
matter what happens, whether you fail, whether you lose a block,
everyone's gonna lose a block, go out there with the
mindset that you're better than the person across from you.
And that's what made us really good. So we didn't
care about losing, We didn't care about this, that or
the other. We were going out there and we knew
that whether we lost one rep, two reps, five reps,
(30:02):
we were still better than that person across from us.
And you know, we lived with that pride and that
pride for the university, for the state, for our families,
and you know, some of its ebbs and flows of
players and recruiting. But I definitely I've been able to
spend a little big time with these guys this last
offseason and hopefully we're we're starting to turn turn it
(30:23):
around and get that unity back between the offensive line.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
Offensive lineman that's not a position where you see they're
the star of the team very often. So your group
was very unique in that Kentucky was branded around you
guys and being the big blue wall, and other teams
knew if you were playing Kentucky you were having to
deal with that offensive line. You mentioned being proud. Was
there just an extra sense of pride knowing that, like
the offensive lines kind of were the stars of those
(30:47):
teams and that the success or even the failures, that
all kind of fell on you all a little more
than it hasn't in most programs and most cultures.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
One hundred percent. And that's what we signed up for.
You know, we wanted to make being an old lineman
look fun, and it is fun. You know when you
sit in those meeting rooms with us, like, we have
a blast. We joke around and I always say that
every single level you go to, it's different people. It's
a same people, different faces, and those are the good
(31:16):
offensive line rooms when you can still joke around, you
can have fun and make being an old lineman fun.
That's what we signed up for at the end of
the day, is to be the be the get no
congratulations on whatever, and take all the blame at the
end of the day. And we got to be okay
with that. But you know, when we started being you know,
embracing that role at the UK and we were just
(31:38):
out there having fun, you know, having competitions between each
other and everything like that, you obviously saw the what
happened in turn. You know, we we went out there
and we won games, and we rushed for a lot
of yards and we got to know be known as
you know, a really good offensive line that a lot
of teams didn't really want to go against.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
And so.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
It was just it was a blast playing and like
I said, it's that pride that kind of carried us
through those years at UK.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Well man, I appreciate you taking some time off your
tractor to come and talk to us a little bit.
It's some beef, I asked him. I said, what you
been doing this summer farming? I've been doing farming, you know,
to get ready. Of course, your athletic career didn't start
a piccadom. They started with the South Lexington Legends eight
year old All Star team. He was my first baseman.
Looked me right in the eye. He's eight years old.
He's looked me right in the eye. And Landing, we're
(32:25):
so proud of you. The city of Lexton's proud of you.
Lafayett High School's proud of you. Jesse Clark Middle School's
proud of you. UK's proud of you. You guys set
the tradition that we still li is today. Everybody still
talks about the big Blue Wall and really happy to
hear you're doing well and your dad, now your kids,
and just really proud of them.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
The man you've become.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
I appreciate it, and I appreciate you'll have me on
the show all.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Right, Landing, young ladies, gentle Wan, the pride of Lexton,
you know, lexington't went for years and years and years
and didn't produce an NFL player. And now in the
last couple of years they got Landing, Young Jed Willis,
Devin Key, Lucky Jackson, all about the same age, all
at once. And Landing was kind of the leader of
all those guys.
Speaker 7 (33:03):
Had a Damien Harris in there, Damien Harris, Dane Key
next year. I think so nice little Kentucky pipeline. I
like that he lined up against uh Dominic and Sue
and considered selling beef full time. While his hands in
the dirt, He's looking at Sue, but his brain is going,
maybe I should farm.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Maybe Farmer's not a bad option after all. All right,
we'll take our break, come back, we will. We will
go to the phone line. Whop up the phone lines
right now, eight five nine two, eight oh two to
eight seven. It's eight five nine towheitto catch Ryan Drew
and Shannon and were right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Welcome back Kentucky Sports Radio, Ryan Drew and Shannon here.
We're in studio today. And I love that whole group. Landing,
(33:39):
Young Cash, Daniel, Drake Jackson, those three Kentucky kids, they
just brought a work ethic and a blue collar attitude
to the team.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
It's kind of been missing the last couple of years.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
I feel like, yeah, and it's just we all know,
it's just a little different when they're one of us
out there. And that recruiting colass was special. Kentucky had
a lot of good contributors from the state in that.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Era eight five nine two o two two eight seven.
Case he's been holding for a while. So how are you, Casey?
Speaker 8 (34:03):
Hey, good morning fellas. So I was wondering if you
guys had watched The Spies because Shane Gillis I thought
killed it, and there was a lot of mixed reaction
on Twitter. But I wanted to see he picked at
a couple of arkentechy guys. He kind of poked at
Carl and poked at s g a a little bit.
I thought he was funny. So I just wanted to
see what you guys thought. And I hope you guys
(34:23):
have a great weekend.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Go care, Thanks, Thanks, Casey had a good weekend.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
Also, Yeah, Drew brought this up during one of the
commercial breaks, told us one of the jokes, you can
say that joke.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Did you hear to answer a question. I really enjoyed it.
It was very awkward. Without being there, you can't tell
how like bad they're bombing or forgetting applause, So it's
hard to really tell if it was as awkward as
it felt on TV. But he had some He had
some jokes that every setting you're kind of whoa surprise?
He said that one on in Disney Network.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Here, Uh what saying about Carl?
Speaker 7 (34:53):
Oh no, don't let me pick on Carl. He said,
Carl Towns is here, Hey girl, Sorry Carl? Uh that
you know that became a Carl trend there through the
playoffs a little bit says to Carl. He said, he
gave a shout out to Shay and said everyone sitting
around him in foul trouble. He did do the Norm
(35:14):
McDonald oj joke that was very controversial at the Spies
in the mid nineties. He brought it back at the
end as he was walking off, he said, I have
one more joke, and he did it, which I loved
as a NORM guy. That one. All the Norm fans
appreciated that one because it was a nod to him.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Say, that's what it was a nod to Norm McDonald's so.
Speaker 7 (35:30):
He brought that one back. That's a famous Espie moment,
the one I told Ryan during the break that I'll
repeat here on the show. It's so stupid. It's the
most childish of the jokes he made. But he was
talking about, uh, show hey a Tani and how he
has a bookie and then he said, a bookie that's
what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend before bedtime. I
enjoyed that one, but.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Uh, it's very were they there was Bill and his.
Speaker 7 (35:54):
I they didn't show them that most people he talked about,
they showed they were there. Yeah, and a lot of
uncomfortable face is Yeah, it was one of those I
like uncomfortable comedies. So I enjoyed it. It was even
being at home watching it, like, oh, my goodness, is
this he has to feel so awkward up there because
it didn't feel like he was getting laughs and he
was pushing the envelope a little bit. Even would apologize
for one after he said it, But overall I enjoyed it.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
Is it up there when Norm McDonald did it and
then no, nothing really.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
Know, but it is that Casey said, you either loved
it or you hated it. A lot of people absolutely
hated it, and some people kind of enjoy that kind
of humor and the kind of the tension in the room.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
While we're talking about TV shows, the Late Show with
Stephen Colbert is getting canceled and starting next May may have.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
Twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I gotta admit I've probably seen that show two times,
maybe three. I just didn't care for it. Do either
one of you guys watch it? Is that something that's
gonna bother you?
Speaker 3 (36:48):
God to watch it? And I was like, this is terrible.
Who is watching this? And so will? I won't miss
him at all personally.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
So I used to not even regularly, but I would
semi frequently only watch guess it's called the Colbert Rapport
on Comedy Central. Yeah, back in like college. I since
he moved to CBS, has it even CBBS?
Speaker 5 (37:10):
I believe.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
I don't know that. I've seen it twice and he
did that with a decade more.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
Yeah, He's been on forever, and I was a pretty.
Speaker 7 (37:16):
Frequent Letterman watcher. I just I don't know if it's
that style of TV or him, I don't know what,
but I did not follow him.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
It was like a big political rant. I'm like, this
guy He's just obnoxious, so I could. I had to
turn it off every time I try to watch any
of it.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Do those shows even work anymore?
Speaker 5 (37:34):
I just get ready to say that. I know Jimmy
Fallon right ses Seth Meyers still do his show. I
have no idea.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
I mean Jimmy Kimmell, Yeah, Kimbell definitely does.
Speaker 6 (37:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
It seems since they're not replacing it, maybe CBS recognizes
that that model sucks.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
Boy, it used to work. That was the hit.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
I used to be in the Letterman Lenno Battles after.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
The after the local news at Evansville. We game on
at ten o'clock, so it started at ten thirty. Yeah,
Johnny Carson or Jay Lennel and then David Letterman right
after that.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
Everybody watched that every every night.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Some of these guys they put on it like one
thirty in the morning. I'm going to who was watching this?
Remember Carson Daily used to have a show It started
at like two o'clock in the morning, and it was
like thirty minutes. Like, really, they're gonna put They're gonna
have a show on and it's only on for thirty minutes.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
I think he was watching that I think Carson Daily
is one of the most operated people I've ever seen in
my life.
Speaker 7 (38:21):
You weren't trioga.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
Dry, no, no personality, not charismatic because I think my
little Carson Daily way.
Speaker 3 (38:29):
I feel about Drew Carey hosting The Right.
Speaker 7 (38:32):
Do we need to add Carson Daly to Ryan's list?
Speaker 5 (38:35):
I think we do that felt personal.
Speaker 9 (38:37):
Well.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
I just always felt like, man, how's this guy doing on?
Speaker 7 (38:40):
What do you watch them on?
Speaker 6 (38:41):
It?
Speaker 7 (38:41):
I don't even know where I would consume Carson Daily.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
He's on the Today's Show, I think on the Day
Show now he used to do the voice, all the
MTV stuff he used to do.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
Yeah, I just used to watch him after school counting
down for my favorite music videos. Haven't kept up with
them much since these late night shows though. They only
get like one good segment anyway, and then it's on
social media in the morning that I think that's what's
really killing them.
Speaker 5 (39:03):
Recap seven, Who's next?
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Syeing Marcia, Marcia, go ahead, Marcia, Good morning everyone.
Speaker 10 (39:13):
I have two things.
Speaker 6 (39:14):
Two things.
Speaker 10 (39:15):
First, I want to wish happy anniversary to Robert and
Misty English four years.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
Nice mister.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
We'll see them, Yes, we'll see them tonight. At the
TVT game, and I have something to say about the TVT.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
Go ahead.
Speaker 10 (39:33):
My favorite thing in the world is seeing former players,
Okay play. I love seeing our former players. However, if
most of the games you see them, like at that
Tates Clear game the other night, they're just out there
having a good time. Do you want to see defense
and rebound, You're gonna be frustrated. See I get frustrated.
(39:56):
Kendall was fussing at me at that game the other night.
Speaker 6 (39:59):
Mama, I'm down because I want to see defense. When
you go to them TBT games, it's for real, they
playing and you're seeing. I'm getting two things at once.
I'm seeing former players and they playing, and I'm so excited.
I can't wait for tonight. And even though Old beating
(40:20):
Louisville was the cream, I just seen Louisville lose and
don't have to look at they spitting the ugly faces.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
Larcia.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
If there's anybody who wants to who's excited about it,
you're you were a girl. I knew it was going
to be there tonight supporting the team. You were there
every game last year, so enjoyed a in tonight.
Speaker 6 (40:39):
I sure will love you guys love you mars.
Speaker 5 (40:41):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
And happy thing that Willie was talking about, they're going
to be locked down defensively, you know he's talking about
that on the show yesterday.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Well even Andrew Harrison said that something about, you know,
the defense are gonna play. So maybe, uh, maybe Sean
Woods is trying to change the focus of.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
The team a little bit, even though it's a TBT tournament.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
My biggest takeaway from that was Willie saying that he
doesn't even pick up a basketball until he goes out there,
Like you think that these guys are probably practicing somewhere
and they're just like, I guess they had that scrimmage
or I can't say scrimmage, they had that get together.
But you know, he's like, he doesn't even touch a basketball,
he said.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
He said he didn't even own.
Speaker 7 (41:13):
A basketball, just like riding a bike. That's what he said.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Okay, people think he was on the golf course yesterday
when he called us, and you know.
Speaker 7 (41:21):
I did hear him mower.
Speaker 5 (41:22):
We thought of golf cart, golf cart.
Speaker 7 (41:24):
Oh yeah, playing it back in my head, that was
definitely a golf.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
Golf Yeah, I agree, he was playing golf it was
supposedly meeting with somebody.
Speaker 7 (41:31):
Well, you can't play by yourself, that's no fun. So
he met someone at the golf course.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
But I was glad to believe it was meeting like
a recruit or a current player, or so maybe he's
playing golf with somebody.
Speaker 7 (41:40):
Yesterday, I think you're you're realizing in this moment that
you got played.
Speaker 5 (41:43):
I didn't get played.
Speaker 7 (41:44):
He had to get his eighteen holes in for thirty six. Actually,
I think yesterday he confessed to multiple rounds a day.
Speaker 5 (41:51):
Well, that's what he was doing.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
That's what that sound was.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
That sound was him and the golf course.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
Clubs were rattling around in the bag yep.
Speaker 7 (41:57):
And at one moment I heard a mower, but then
the motor said on it different. So he was by
a lawnmower on the course. Then fired up his golf cart.
Speaker 5 (42:04):
We got it. We're on look at this, he told reporters.
All right, well take our break. We come back.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
The least toughest man in all of EA college football
sports video game, Aiden Larros, Kentucky's punter, joins us we
come back.
