Speaker 3 (04:00):
Talk more about that later in the show. It is
Kentucky Dash Customs dot Com. You gotta put the dash
in there, Kentucky Dash Customs dot Com here in Nicholasville.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
A lot of cool stuff and.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Drew, you know, we we've gone over a lot of
things over the course of the this week, a lot
of cool stories. And you know, we were about to
start the show here this morning and my man here
in the front row gets on his phone and I
guess he's checking the news. And right we're thirty seconds
before the show starts, and I hear Donald Trump's voice
and I was like, thanks a lot. Wait to get
(04:31):
my brain completely uh centered. But actually it's worth doing
today because one of the big stories of the day
actually involves Donald Trump, which is yesterday was maybe the
biggest day in the last year or so of trying
to get the framework for college sports done. They had
(04:51):
a hearing over the last two days in Congress.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
There there's a bill now that might be passed.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I will say to you, I never thought when we
did college sports that my legal training would come in
as much as it has with this nil stuff. It's
very complicated, but let me give you the most I
was trying to think of sitting there, how's the most
simple version I can give this? All right, So there
is a bill that may pass the House, which basically
the NCAA wrote.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Right, so I'm gonna try it. If I feel like
I can explain this to you, I can.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Get it more people can understand.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Okay, the NCAA wrote a bill, Okay, that's very pro college,
pro NCIA. It essentially says, hey, all these rules we're
gonna put into effect, you have to do them. There
will be you know, the twenty point six million dollars
is the cap. You will not be able to do
stuff outside of it unless it's a real endorsement. It's
(05:46):
it's not a bad bill, but it is very pro NCIA.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
The Republicans in the House, that's the one there for
My guess is when they come back in September, they
are going to pass it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
All right, do you understand that?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Understand it?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Most Democrats, not all, but most Democrats are against it
because they don't they feel like it's too anti athlete.
It's gonna pass, but it's probably gonna go nowhere in
the Senate because in the Senate you gotta have sixty
votes to pass something like that, which means you gotta
get some Democrats on board. So that bill's probably going away.
So that got that's gonna get passed, but it's.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Probably not gonna matter.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
The Senate bill, which remember we talked about Ted Cruz
and Corey Booker, etc.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
That's gonna probably have to be the bill.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Donald Trump yesterday issued an executive order in Shannon. It
is very classic Donald Trump because the title is Donald
Trump Saves College Sports.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
If we don't need anything fancy, it gets right to
what he does and what's happening here.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
He's gonna save college sports.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Donald Trump Saves College Sports Bill, which I mean, you
can't roll your eyes more at least I can't at
the name of a bill than that.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
But if I hand you that bill, you know exactly
what's in it. He's gonna say college but that Donald
Trump is saving college So.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It's an executive order, and the executive order basically would
be exactly what the House bill is it's kind of
pro NCAA, it's kind of pro college, etc. Here's the problem.
It has no legal effect. It'll probably get shut down
in the courts. And more importantly, it says, if you
don't do all this stuff, you're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
But then it doesn't say how it would be in trouble.
There's no enforcement. Man.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
You remember my old thing. A rule is not a
rule without a punishment. There's no punishment, so without a punishment,
and it says the Department of Education will enforce this.
And if you've been following the news, it seems like
he's about to get rid of the Department of Education.
So I don't really know exactly what that's supposed to do.
But my point of all this is to say, this
(07:49):
is the one thing I think is positive about all this.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
The fact that the House did the hearing, the fact
that he.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Put out this executive order, which I think is probably meaningless,
but nevertheless he put out says to me Ryan that
I do think there is an urgen seat you try
to get this done, because I have told you, if
they don't get this done by the end of the
year by December, I think college sports becomes insanity starting
next year because for a variety of reasons that are boring.
(08:18):
I am at least encouraged Ryan that even though I
don't think the things that have gotten past are gonna work,
that it does seem we are going to start to
get some guardrails. But what is interesting is it looks
like these collectives are gonna survive.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It looks like.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Collectives are still going to be able to give out endorsements,
and so it seems like you're still going to have
a case where those who raise money are gonna end
up being able to do the best stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
That's I'm gonna say the way you kind of explained it.
At least this puts the wheel, even it doesn't pass,
puts the wheels in motion for something to be put
in place. I think everybody else parties can agree on.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Well, so far no, but at least it has at
least it has started in that motion. I say all
this to say because of this, there are some reports
out there now that can Kentucky may have spent more
money on the basketball roster this year than any team
in the country that this year. There's no way to
know for sure, but any team in the country, And
(09:11):
as I was thinking about that, I wanted to ask you, Drew,
let's put football to the side. If we get into
a money racing football, we ain't gonna win. Honestly, if
we don't get into a money racing football, I'm not
sure we're gonna win. But if you were a Kentucky
fan and you were sitting there saying for basketball, what
system do I want in place?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Do we want a.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
System, as Kentucky fans just being selfish that basically gives
everybody equal money. Or do we want a system where
it's the most money wins and we're good with that
because we'll probably have.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
The most money. Which would you prefer?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Do you think Kentucky basketball is better off long term
in a free market system or in everybody pays the
same amount life.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
That's why I think, of all of us, I gave
basketball the lowest of the revenue share, because I'm assuming
that the collectives in NIL are gonna take care of itself. Okay,
basketball has so many built in advantages. If you're recruiting
and you're both putting the same amount of money down,
Kentucky's gonna win most of those races. So I like
having the free market there, or maybe football can have
a little more of rep share because basketball is still
(10:16):
gonna have plenty to take care of the seven, eight,
nine guys that'll have to take care of.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
So here's what Nick Saban said chanting about Alabama football.
Nick Saban did an interview yesdaya Liis to which I thought,
he's He's a very smart guy and it was actually
interesting to listen to him. He said, I would prefer
for Alabama. Then everybody has an equal amount of money.
He said, because I everybody has an equal amount of money,
their tradition and the fan base of Alabama will beat
everybody else. He was like, Alabama is Alabama. So even
(10:43):
if you have the same amount of money offer to
you from Alabama and from Mississippi State, Alabama's gonna win
because we're Alabama.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
He said.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
What's hard is if Mississippi State has twice as much
money as me, then what happens then Alabama may not
matter as much. I was thinking about that because I
was on Drew side for a lot. I was kind
of like, we're gonna have more money than everybody else
when it comes to basketball. But there are schools like
Texas Tech that have one donor who goes, here's twenty
(11:14):
five million dollars. I'm gonna build a roster, and you
might want to go to Kentucky. But you know that
money is a lot at Texas Tech. So would you
like to have a system like Saban where you go
the money's equal and then Kentucky will be Kentucky and
we will be able to win.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Which do you prefer?
Speaker 7 (11:30):
I like Saban's idea whereas just everybody has the same
amount of money. That kind of goes back to the
way it was before nil, when nobody was getting money in.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Theory right, yes, but I mean by the rules we
were all on the same playing field.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
I would like for it to go to that point
to where we're all getting the same amount of money.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
It's interesting because my sympathies Ryan tend to be with
the players. I think it should be a free market
player should make what they want. At the same time,
I probably even more than that what Kentucky to win. Selfish,
I want Kentucky to win. And I know we have
a couple of donors you know who they are. We've
said their names who give a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
But those people might not be around forever, right, and
they might at some point just decide we don't want
to give money anymore. And so I do think that
having I do think Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Basketball can win in a world where everybody has the
same amount of money because we care more and.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
We have history.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yeah, and those donors may love the coach for a while,
then they have a falling out with the coach. Maybe
they would be mine, you know. So I think you
got to look the long, long term on So which
would you prefer?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Would you?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
If you're just talking about how do we make Kentucky
basketball the best? What system do you think ensures we
hang the most banners?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
I think that we can get as much money as
we can, not the equal among everybody else.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So you think we would always have more money for
basketball than the other schools? Yes, yeah, I don't know.
I think it's interesting. I think I do think.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Bitch had a comment the other day or the last
time I heard him talk about this, where he said,
drew something to the effect of, you create the system,
Kentucky basketball is still gonna win.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
You believe that's true that no matter what the system is,
Kentucky is Kentucky and we will win. I lean that way.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
I mean, Kentucky, I think we'll always have the built
in advantage with the passion and tradition, and that will
carry over then il attendance and things. You'll need to
put you over the top of other teams because the
fan base isn't going anywhere, and sure our our donors
are gonna die off, but maybe one of you are
in the process.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Maybe one of those now, well, maybe Kentucky will sell
enough of these bedliners that the next thing you know,
they can they can be.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Then in the works. Right now that grew up loving UK,
hopefully they're next in line.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Just yesterday, as I was walking all this stuff was
breaking and I was sitting there reading it and I
was thinking, this, I'm an attorney, and this is unbelievably
complicated to me, Shannon, I don't know how the average
fan is supposed to follow this. I really don't well, like,
I mean like there were four different pieces of news
that pushed it four different ways, and I was thinking,
I just don't understand how the NCAA and these and
(14:11):
I don't know how they think fans are gonna be
able to follow what's going on.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
I was trying to read about it this morning. My
head was spending. That's why we didn't talk about it
on the pre show. That we'll explain it to me
on KSR.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
But but even for me, the news goes in five
different directions. You have what Trump does, you have what
Congress does, and then you have what the courts do.
And I'm sure it is for these college administrators, like
a lot of these do. How in the world can
they even figure out what they're supposed to be doing?
Speaker 6 (14:38):
And obviously it's an f stain distraction yesterday, that's my
first That's exactly what I thought you two would say.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. It
is a beautiful day here in Lexington, a great week.
I drove by that Long John's there were there was
already cars away.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
When does it even open? It can't be open right now,
is it?
Speaker 6 (14:57):
It was really shiny too, It's like there was a
light on it.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
How can it be open right now? There were already
cars in the parking.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Lot, like what fish and biscuits a fish omelet?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Like what I I mean? You will say this. I
don't know much about Nicholsville. I know they love their
Long John Silver's, here. We will take a break and
be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio live at
Kentucky Customs. En up, fitty, we'll come back in this
Kentucky Sports Radio here at Kentucky Customs and uplifting.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
So they do these these do these liners Drew. They
put it on football, They put it on a watermelon.
They're going to see if Ryan can smash this watermelon.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Smash this.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Uh, this is the stuff the coding they put on trucks,
and we'll see if he's strong enough. I think they
they don't think he's gonna be able to do it. Uh,
he's failed at the last challenge. I don't think he's
gonna be able to do this with.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
You, Ryan's redemption to her. I don't think he can
break this. This is hard. If I were to throw
this and hitting the head, it knock you out.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
This is Mario already dropped it, Uh when I tried
to throw it at him earlier.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
So you gonna be able to break it? Are you
gonna lose an arm?
Speaker 8 (15:56):
Here?
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Not a chance. They are trying to be funny. I
got a couple of donuts back there in their bed.
I wanted me to crack a couple of donuts. I know,
I can't do it. That's amazingly tough.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
They have the best but bed covers, bedlinings in the
state and one of the largest selections. They also do
jeep up fifteen upfitting and overlanding setups. I was looking
at all the things they sell it here, and I
was trying to think of what the what if I
knew what these things were. What does it mean when
you say overlanding setup overlaying it says landing.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
I don't know. Why didn't you say, yeah, I have
a ten year old Highlander.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's I wanted to ask you shit?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
And you know it broke during the story of the
show yesterday, but Hulk Hogan, uh stuff came out all day.
I I ended up finding myself watching the big moments,
you know, watching Body slamming Andre the Giant, watching when
he and the Rock wrestled and they flipped from good
guy the bad guy, and the exact in one match,
Him and the Warrior, him and Sergeant Slaughter. Yeah, you know,
(17:00):
I went on a couple of shows last night. People
asked me just to talk about his impact, and I said,
this wrestling meat went from a regional thing to a
worldwide phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Really on the back of Hulkoche.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I mean, he was the person that kind of took
wrestling used to be, you know, twenty different regional organizations,
of which one was Louisville, Kentucky with ov W and
basically Vince McMahon through kind of cheating out his father.
You ought to watch the documentary Vince McMahon basically cheated
his father out of a wrestling organization, but in the
(17:35):
process made it national, which made it worldwide. And really
it was hul Cogan that was the star.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
He built that up absolutely, and you know, the WWF
would not be the same today without hul Cogan. Yeah,
he built the entire profession in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
He's like Tiger Woods.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I mean in the sense of like golf is different
now because of him. I think it's the same way
with Hope.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
You know, I said on the pre show, I think
in the eighties there was a time to where he
was the most famous person on the planet.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
In the eighties. I really do. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
You think people in India knew who hault coch.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yes, absolutely, and everybody knew.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
You think more people knew Hoult Cogan than the.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Pope probably, so stop.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Do you know who the pope was in the eighties, Yeah,
Pope John Paul.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I didn't know that, Okay, got new Halt Cokin. See
that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I'm not gonna go with you. Now, you know, I'm
a big wrestling I'll go far with you. I'm not
gonna go the most far.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I mean Muhammad Ali, the President of the United States.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Shamad was with Hogan at wrestle Mania, though he was.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I don't think everybody in Mubai saw that. But nevertheless
UD pay per view, I doubt they did close circuit TV.
But Ryan, you know you're not even wrestling fan, obviously
you knew you know who he was.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Yeah, like you said, yeah, you get sucked in looking
on all those videos. That's probably what was my first
introduction to wrestling was because I knew who he was.
So a lot of these video clips I saw yesterday's Yeah,
I've seen that in the past because he went mainstream,
he took wrestling, you know, mainstream with the bubble and you.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Know, I mean, if you've read anything about him, especially
in the last ten years, did some not good stuff, right,
But I also think I've watched people try to figure
out how to handle that, and I'm still a big believer.
Drew forty eight hours, man, give him.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
A flowers like.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I mean, he has a very trouble to say the least,
legacy and did some awful stuff, But for forty eight hours,
you should note some of the of what he did
and what he did. And I would say this, I
think politics today, if you.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Want to understand it, look at wrestling because a lot
of people that run it have a background in wrestling.
And I think, you know, Hokan was a big part
of that. As crazy as that sounds.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Yeah, I mean, I don't think he was trying to
give him a humanitarian award for his overall body of work,
but there's no denying what he did for entertainment and
joy brought people and what he did for.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Lot of joy.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
And let me also say, let me say one thing
positive for sure, did a ton of work with kids
on like Make a wi and stuff like that. One
of the things from from Hogan to John Cena, if
you look at the work these wrestlers do with Make
a Wish kids, I think it's some of the best coolest.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Stuff they do.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
They basically give these kids who are in the worst
you know, a lot of which will not survive. They
give them these moments. And Hogan, I think was the
first one to start doing that, and he does deserve
a lot of praise for that.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Who's up first? Roy is up first? Roy? Go ahead? Roy? Roy?
All right? No, Roy, who's next? Hey, We'll go to
Trevor next. Trevor. How are you, Trevor?
Speaker 9 (20:38):
I'm doing well, man.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
It's hard to.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
Follow up Old Roy there, but I got a little bit.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
A lot to say.
Speaker 9 (20:43):
Yeah, I had a lot to say. My first question
is I assume that a lot of these decisions on
a player level are being made by the the n
CUBA and maybe even the conferences and the athletic directors.
Do you see or is there anything in these bills
that gives the players any kind of collective bar getting
or any kind of stay in what happened behind the scenes.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Well, I mean, that's a really great question. The lawsuit
that was settled was the first time the players got
a voice, and that's why I think it had a
lot of impact. But no, for the most part, the
players don't and that's a big part of the of
the problem. I appreciate the call let me move real
quick to something different. North Carolina reports are considering joining
(21:24):
the ACC or going to orssue me trying to join
the SEC. That inside Carolina, which is basically the closest
equivalent to KSR drew of any website in the country.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
They are massive at Carolina.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
They're reporting the Carolina is making moves to prepare to
try to move to the SEC. I have said for
years that I think North Carolina is the most likely
team to join the SEC. Would you like North Carolina
as the seventeenth member of the SEC?
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Yeah, I mean since they've done realignment, we've all had
teams in mind, they're probably number one on my list.
And that report it says they're like exit fee to
leave the ACC goes down and I'm three years maybe,
so it opens the door to to really make it happen.
I would love to have North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
I think North Carolina gives the SEC everything they want.
It's a different state, so you don't have to step
on toes like Clemson Wood with South Carolina. It's got
a great history in a lot of sports, and it's
a football team that we could beat, right which I
actually like that.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Yeah, add your little power to the SEC and basketball
helps us in football. I would rather see them than
like Missouri or Oklahoma. It's all yeah, I'll be happy.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
To think that's that.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
You guys are trying to put teams in. I'm trying
to kick them out, like I want Missouri out.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Who would you take Missouri out? Who would be the second?
You gotta be careful, you don't want to get to
where they kick us out. It would probably be if
you were gonna kick two out, they'd probably kick out
Missouri and Mississippi State. Right with this, Fandy has that.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Thing where they're private, which means we don't have to
release our numbers to the to the so we gotta
keep Vandy.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
And we're original.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
You can't kick out the original Missouri and Mississippi State
to me would be the two you'd probably kick out.
Bring in Carolina and then maybe Florida State or Clipson.
We'll take a break and be right back. We are
here at Kentucky Customs up Fitting. It's KSR Quarterback Tucky
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
If I'm not two eight oh twenty two eighty seven
here at Kentucky Customs and Upfitting they got to obviously undercoating.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
They've got goose neck and five and fifth wheel hitch installs.
What's a goose neck?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
You know what's that hook that comes out and it
has like a goose neck?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Goose neck?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, yeah, but when you all just keep moving your hand,
where is.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Goose on the back? Back on the back, you know
the goose.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Like where you put it, like a trailer hits You
got a trailer and that's called the goose neck into the.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Trailer's got this little contraption that sticks up and then
hooks to your truck. That's that's called the goose neck.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Look at you, you know everything that one on your car.
I do have some goose neck you want?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
I got multiple in case I need find two eight
twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Did we like what Arkansas did yesterday?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
The tweet to Arkansas their official men's basketball account eats
out that there was a ranking of the best teams
of the two thousands and Kentucky's twenty twelve team was second,
Kentucky's twenty fifteen team was fourth, and Memphis's two thousand
and nine team was twentieth, and Arkansas tweets it out
(24:18):
and says coach of the greatest teams, John Calperry. Of course,
one little problem. None of those were Arkansas exactly. They
were both Kentucky. They were Kentucky and Memphis. I found
that unbelievably embarrassing if you were Arkansas. I analogized it
to somebody going, Hey, you know, my wife's ex husbands
really are pretty awesome, aren't they look at how look
(24:41):
at how good they treated? Or do you would you
if you were in Arkansas fan, would.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You find that embarrassing? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (24:47):
But I go to the comments and they're proud. It's
like they're not self aware. They've been doing this for
a while. Like some NBA players signed a contract book
or something and they're betweeting cal with more billions in
the NBA. It's like, what are you doing? Also, Kentucky's
arrival at one point in Memphis was rival. You were
on their schedule that year that you're celebrating and got beat.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
I think it's did we do that when he was here?
Like I can't remember did we celebrate the Memphis stuff?
Speaker 6 (25:15):
And I think you go like two months when you
first make the hire to at least put out some credentials.
But you've had a full season. Now, why are you
celebrating in with Kentucky?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I feel like I might have said something at some
point that was like Derrick Rose was good. But besides that, Ryan,
I don't think I did. I cannot imagine if you're
Arkansas basketball, a program that's won a national title, that
you would put out graphics celebrating your coach's success at
another place and not your place.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
You gotta wonder what is going on with that marketing
department in Arkansas. At one time, Kentucky was with those
biggest rivals and those games on in the nineties were awesome, Like,
but your rival used to do it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Is there any chance he's standing over someone in the
graphic department telling them to no out question?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Listen when when Cal? This happened at UK? So people
know when Cal comes into a place, he makes all
the marketing. He basically it becomes marketing Cal. Like that's
I mean? You remember, I think Cal's good to former players, Like, don't.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Get me wrong, I don't think he shuns the past.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
But I just want you to think about what the
practice facility looked you look like at UK when he
was the coach.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
He just all references everyone that had played before and
they were gone. The references were to his players.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
So he would put all the UK players in the NBA,
But at first Rondo wasn't even right. Rondo was in
the NBA, and they would have all the players in
the NBA, but they wouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Rondo on there. And then eventually I think they changed that.
But there were years where there was no mention of Rondo,
and Rondo went and't won a.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Championship at Boston and there was no reference to him.
Now if you go so like when Mark Pope got here,
if you had just gone into the practice facility, you
would have thought that Cal was the only coach we
ever had here. Now all that stuff is gone. Now
they show all eras, there are even pictures of Cal
(27:15):
in there. I think the same thing Shannon happens in Arkansas.
It's like, oh, where's Scotty Thurman, Corlos Williamson, I don't know,
but you know what he had.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Devin Booker UK. I think that's just kind of how
it is.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
If you remember when Cala Perry left Kentucky to go
to Arkansas, he made the comment something to the effect
of cal University still here. We're just packing up and
going to a new city, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
So he said that is exactly right, you know.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
And Arkansas, by the way, that's not the first time
they've done that on social media, trying to claim things
for Cali Perry.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
That he did at other schools. Yeah, I guess they're
proud of.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
He also did an interview I thought was really funny.
He goes, look at the SEC last year. He said,
look at the top seven teams. He said, all seven
of them had ninety I think he said all seven
of had ninety five percent of their starters returning from
the year before. And then he goes, well, one of
(28:08):
them may not have. Well, the one of them was Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
The one of them was Kentucky, where we had no
starters returning from the year before. I did think that
was kind of funny. He was like, they all had
First of all, I'm sure the other teams didn't have
ninety five percent either. I think he probably made that
number up, but Kentucky had zero players returning.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
That's true. And if we go down this, he also
said many times were a new team and I wanted
to be.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Like DJ and dude Bigsy.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Yes, it's a new uniform, but I think they've played
for you once before and together.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
His point was, now I've got my team returning, and
so we're gonna basically win the sec was what he
was saying.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
All Right, so we'll see if that happens.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Who's up next?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Andy?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Is up next? Andy? Go ahead? Andy?
Speaker 10 (28:52):
Hey man, I just had a question for you. I
went and listened to your podcast, Tommy t Board, and
I really enjoyed it, and which let me listen to
which led me to listen to the interview that Joe Rogan,
Jason or James Turple. I think I'm saying this name.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, I don't want I.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Mean, I appreciate that. I don't really want to. We're
in a remote I don't want to talk that that.
But but go ahead, finish what you were saying.
Speaker 10 (29:17):
No, I'm not I'm going to talk about that specifically.
I was just going to ask you, do you uh
I share a lot of similar boys with that guy
and related to that, and do you know of any
thing that I can listen to on YouTube? Because you know,
I lived down here in Somerset and there's not a
lot of progressive Christian churches you can. I just was
(29:39):
wanting some advice on that. If someone would like to,
you know, start with yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I don't know. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Somebody will write me andy about that, somebody that lives
in Somerset, and i'll, i'll, i'll, i'll, I'll reach out
to you.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Okay, all right, I appreciate it, man, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Hey, if I'm nine to eight, oh twenty two eighty seven,
what place are we finishing in the SEC this year?
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Ah, Florida's gonna be really good. I think the SEC
is gonna be much easier than it was a year ago.
But Florida is a contender. I'll say second, but it's.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
We're one, and that's what I have.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
We're fighting for first. It's gonna be close.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I think we finished. I think the SEC is going
to be significantly worse this year in basketball, which is
a good thing for us. I don't think there's gonna
be like ten teams challenging this year.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I'm gonna say second as well. What do you think?
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Yeah, second or third? They'll get second. They just don't
lose some of those games like on a Tuesday night
at Ole Miss. You know they can prevent those kind
of tough losses. They should definitely be second fight for
the title.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
I lean third. But how good is Tennessee gonna be
this year? Are they gonna be terrible or they're down?
Speaker 4 (30:45):
They're down?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I think I think they have a deal.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
I think Alabama's still trying to come back. Is he's
still I.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Think you gotta. I think Alabama dips. I think Auburn dips.
I think Tennessee dips. Florida's gonna still be really good.
I think Arkansas will be a little better. We're gonna
be better.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
Am has a new coach.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yeah, I mean I think the league is oddly ryan.
I think the league takes a significant down. I mean,
last year the league might have been better than it's
ever been. Yeah, I think this year it takes a
significant dip down. I mean Alabama and all Alabama especially
took a huge They did not do well in.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
The portal and they lost a lot of guys. I
think that that's gonna be a big difference.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
I think this is one of those years where like
a team like LSU, they now they have you know,
kind of kind of had figured it out by the
end of the season. Last year, maybe one of those
teams kind of puts on a good run.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Mississippi State will be better. I don't know it's Vandy good.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
I have no idea. I haven't really been following them
at all in the offseason.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Yeah, I don't either.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Hey, stop overpaying for sunglasses. Check out Shady Rays and
independent American owned companies started right here in Kentucky. Premium
polarized shades from tangle aviators to color rush lenses, the
best protection program in the industry. Look at Shady Rays
or shady rays dot com for their blue and white collection.
I'm going to be given away UK Purdue exhibition game tickets.
(32:05):
By the way, they announced yesterday Connecticut and Michigan State
are going to play a secret scrimmage. But they're inviting
the public, which I don't know how secret. I don't
know how sound. I'm not sure how secret it is.
If we were to play a secret scrimmage that invited.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
The public, who would you like to play?
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Duke? I want it to matter, though, but anything to
get Duke, go to Duke, come to Rup.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Anything you like a secret scrimmage against Duke?
Speaker 5 (32:36):
What would you like if it's a team we don't
normally play.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
It's not like a real game, so it's a secret scrimmage,
but you invite the public, so I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
And they also had the date and the time, so
I'm not sure exactly what part of myself. Yeah, I'm
not sure what part of it is secret. But what
would you do?
Speaker 5 (32:51):
I think I think Connecticut's got to be into conversation.
You'll have them and play them for a change. You know,
we played Gonzagon, now we played Duke once in a while.
North Carolina wants to Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I think that would be a good would you? I mean,
I can't. I don't think we could do it because
they're already being secret. But would you do it?
Speaker 7 (33:04):
And it's gotta be a I guess a team that
we're not already playing on the schedule.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I would think, so you'd want to play somebody by
the way. Prayers out to Bill self. I don't know
if you saw. He had an emergency medical situation yesterday,
apparently something with his heart.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
He he is okay, but apparently it was a very
like touch and go situation for a while. But he's okay.
He had stints put in. But prayers to to Bill.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
So absolutely.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
I don't know, like maybe a Ucla just because of
the blue blood name. I know they're not probably gonna
be that great this year.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
But Michigan's really good this year. That would be a
that would be a good team to test yourself against.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
I think Villanova at some point maybe be in the
conversations had to play within.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Are we going to take this Purdue game seriously? Oh?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yeah, what I mean, I know Pope will, but Purdue
is the number one team in the country, but the
game doesn't count. I don't know that we've ever played
a game like that before, at least not in my lifetime.
I think some of the folks have been around longer.
Did we play like the Soviet Union? Yeah, back in
the like in the eighties.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
Crushed Yugoslavia one year, but we played.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
In the Soviet Union when the Soviet Union was like
really good at basketball. Were you around during those games?
Speaker 10 (34:11):
No?
Speaker 5 (34:12):
The stories of that game are legendary though, how Joe
Hall kind of got it put together.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
But I mean, did the did fans take it? I mean,
I'm sure they did take it.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I just I'm trying to figure out when when we
played Purdue, are are we going to be cheering like
that's a real game.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Yes, yes, absolutely want to win.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
It, probably more so than the real games that aren't
market Are people going to be like.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Am I going to be pacing?
Speaker 6 (34:36):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Is there gonna be a post game show for that?
There should be.
Speaker 6 (34:40):
I was pacing for the TBT game. Of course, I'm
gonna pace for the Troy versus Purdue.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I was pacing. I really was. I found myself at
one moment screen and I was like, Matt, what are
you doing.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Post game show for that?
Speaker 4 (34:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Especially purduees number one? Yeah, I mean it's gonna if
I'm not two eight oh twenty two. And we will
take a break very back here in Nicholsville. This is
Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
What it is Kentucky Sports Radio, Kentucky Customs and up Fitting.
If you come to Kentucky Customs and up Fitting here
in Nicholsville mentioned k s R now now July and
tippers it off your springs and rust protection. During the
hour break, we're gonna let you go outside and see
if you can uh knock that watermelon.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Okay, I'm worried about throwing my shoulder out of whack
that there's no way I'm gonna be able to pop
that watermelon.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
We like that, Yeah, exactly, come on, uh my text
the day what person rides Matt?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
The Purdue game important if we win, if we lose,
it's not important at all.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
That's the perfect metality to have in the games.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
That's the best game on the schedule. It's absolutely house money.
We will form.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I know there's on the stream right now. I know
it's not the greatest. So if I if we sound
like Transformers Holly, it will sound a little better.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
At the game.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Against the Soviet Union, it was one of the loudest
arenas we've had it rup. It was during the Cold
War and James Lee got a dunk that made.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
The roof explode.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
It's kind of I don't The game also wasn't on TV,
so unless you were there, yeah, you wouldn't even know
about it.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I kind of like that, you know, you.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Hear those stories like that for people that claim to
be there, say they were there, but apparently it was
a big deal when it happened to Pat may remember,
she's here, she may remember that were you there.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
Pack probably doesn't remember, though, all those Russia games run together.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yeah, yes, every time we played the Russians.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
The Lithuanian team that used to play in the nineties
a lot, and you'd have to wait until like the
tape delay at eleven o'clock to watch that.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Ryan's right, we played Yugoslavia when Yugoslavia was.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Good, when well, it's not even a country now, so
when it but when it was yeah, when it existed.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, yeah, did play child.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
I wish we'd do.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
We should do.
Speaker 6 (37:02):
Take on all the countries.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Let's bring them on.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Uh Okay, So the in they announced yesterday the NCAA
Tournament will almost certainly not expand.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
This year due to logistics.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
They were going to continue to look at it for
the future, but it will not expand this year. You know,
we've talked a lot about whether or not we think
you should. Most of us agree that it should not.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
If it does it, if it does only go to
a few more, it's going to expand at some point.
But I guess I'm glad Ryan, it's not doing it
this year.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
It's going to happen. I mean, it's coming. I mean,
they make too much money off that event. I'm with you, though,
they expand it just a little bit, maybe just four
more teams don't expand the little the ninety whatever, just
go like maybe four more play them on Dayton making
an event the week leading into the NCA turn.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
You could do you could do as we talked about,
or you could do four games a day in Dayton
on On on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I'm okay with that, but you get beyond that.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
No, he said yesterday the president Charlie Baker. The part
of the logistics is they are going to add a
second play in sight. So that's part of the reason
why they're not ready yet. Oh they are. It sounds
like the next tournament after this year, twenty twenty seven
is when it's most likely to start. And he didn't
have an exact number, but he said he likes between
seventy two and seventy.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Six between seventy two.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
We didn't have a number, but somewhere in there, seventy
two to seventy six, like seventy three years.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah, one more year at least where it's like it is.
I hope it stays like that. I don't want to
see his get it where it's like in the nineties,
Shannon and then basically everybody makes it at that point.
I mean, if you do that, if you're in a
power conference, you're in just when you start.
Speaker 7 (38:35):
When talking the expansion first came up several years ago,
ninety six was mentioned. I'm going that's just way too
way too But as Ryan would say, the expansion train
is coming.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
He also said it's not, by the way, definitely not
about money.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
On my podcast, interrupted Matt Orlander, the college basketball reporters
going to be on to basically talk about you remember,
he was the one that said Kentucky was spending nine
million on basketball and nine million on football. He kind
of still believes that's the case. So that's why I'm
bringing him on to talk about it and see. You know,
I've heard that's not the case. But you know, he
(39:08):
could end up being right. I don't know, we'll see.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
You know, he's well respected, he will he's fair that
if somebody.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Didn't, there's got something. I know. He's here and now, yeah,
we're gonna talk about that. It'll be out later this afternoon.
Who's up next? Jerry is up next? Hey?
Speaker 8 (39:25):
Mate? Jerry? Yeah, I'm right.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Next week we're going to work and we're not calling
every day, Jerry. So this is I'm gonna let you
do it today, but we're gonna take next week off.
Speaker 8 (39:37):
Okay, Well, I was gonna say, is that I think
that what is going on the Congression. He's good for
you case football, and I think it's gonna I think
the eventually something's gonna pass. You're gonna see caps on
all these sports.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Yeah, I mean caps. I don't know, but I was
talking to a person here.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
The only way that the NCAA is going to have
something that will stand up in court and we'll rename law.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
I just take.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
That's the one thing they can do.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
And I think we all hope that they end up
doing that, but it'll have to be bipartisan if they
do that, which means they'll have some stuff for athletes.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
In there.
Speaker 5 (40:27):
Well.
Speaker 8 (40:27):
And I think that when it gets to the set,
there's also going to be some protections in there for
women sports and some other things. It's it's gonna be
good for college sports. Pressure now all the way around
for it to happen.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
That was one good thing, and.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
I appreciate the called that was in the Trump thing
he did say, and I was glad. I was glad
to see this because this means this will be the
position of the Republicans. They did say protections on every
school that gives money to a coach of at least
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. So if you pay
any coach two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which pretty
(41:05):
much is every big school, you have to have sixteen
sports at your college, and presumably that means you'll have
to have eight women's sports.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
So basically I did like that because I did.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Wonder if we were going to get to a point
ryan where everything went away except basketball, football, and baseball.
This bill does say you would have to have at
least sixteen sports at your school. I think that's actually
really good for a lot of the smaller sports who
were worried about whether or not they were going.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
To go away.
Speaker 5 (41:34):
I think my biggest takeaway if everything you've said about
this topic is that Donald Trump is saving college sports,
that's true, That's right. I think that's my biggest takeaway.
Are you trying to just no, just you know, fighting
for the little I could save the Baball tournament.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
That's good to hear that jersey. He looked like you
could go play.
Speaker 5 (41:51):
I think I could play on the pitch to not
be on the pitch tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
And be a good goalie.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
I would be a good goalie. All right.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Do you think you're gonna be able to break this water?
Not a chance. All right, I'm looking forward to you.
You're gonna do it, myriol filment right here during your break.
You just want to go out here, out.
Speaker 5 (42:05):
Front, wherever they want me to go.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
I get the ambulete ready. I'm sure my shoulder, I'm
I'll probably pull of groin trying to bust that water.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
No reason for your growing to be involved. We will
take a break. Be right back back I number two.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Talk more about that later in the show. It is
Kentucky Dash Customs dot Com. You gotta put the dash
in there, Kentucky Dash Customs dot Com here in Nicholasville.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
A lot of cool stuff and.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Drew, you know, we we've gone over a lot of
things over the course of the this week, a lot
of cool stories. And you know, we were about to
start the show here this morning and my man here
in the front row gets on his phone and I
guess he's checking the news. And right we're thirty seconds
before the show starts, and I hear Donald Trump's voice
and I was like, thanks a lot. Wait to get
(04:31):
my brain completely uh centered. But actually it's worth doing
today because one of the big stories of the day
actually involves Donald Trump, which is yesterday was maybe the
biggest day in the last year or so of trying
to get the framework for college sports done. They had
(04:51):
a hearing over the last two days in Congress.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
There there's a bill now that might be passed.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I will say to you, I never thought when we
did college sports that my legal training would come in
as much as it has with this nil stuff. It's
very complicated, but let me give you the most I
was trying to think of sitting there, how's the most
simple version I can give this? All right, So there
is a bill that may pass the House, which basically
the NCAA wrote.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Right, so I'm gonna try it. If I feel like
I can explain this to you, I can.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Get it more people can understand.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Okay, the NCAA wrote a bill, Okay, that's very pro college,
pro NCIA. It essentially says, hey, all these rules we're
gonna put into effect, you have to do them. There
will be you know, the twenty point six million dollars
is the cap. You will not be able to do
stuff outside of it unless it's a real endorsement. It's
(05:46):
it's not a bad bill, but it is very pro NCIA.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
The Republicans in the House, that's the one there for
My guess is when they come back in September, they
are going to pass it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
All right, do you understand that?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Understand it?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Most Democrats, not all, but most Democrats are against it
because they don't they feel like it's too anti athlete.
It's gonna pass, but it's probably gonna go nowhere in
the Senate because in the Senate you gotta have sixty
votes to pass something like that, which means you gotta
get some Democrats on board. So that bill's probably going away.
So that got that's gonna get passed, but it's.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Probably not gonna matter.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
The Senate bill, which remember we talked about Ted Cruz
and Corey Booker, etc.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
That's gonna probably have to be the bill.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Donald Trump yesterday issued an executive order in Shannon. It
is very classic Donald Trump because the title is Donald
Trump Saves College Sports.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
If we don't need anything fancy, it gets right to
what he does and what's happening here.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
He's gonna save college sports.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Donald Trump Saves College Sports Bill, which I mean, you
can't roll your eyes more at least I can't at
the name of a bill than that.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
But if I hand you that bill, you know exactly
what's in it. He's gonna say college but that Donald
Trump is saving college So.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It's an executive order, and the executive order basically would
be exactly what the House bill is it's kind of
pro NCAA, it's kind of pro college, etc. Here's the problem.
It has no legal effect. It'll probably get shut down
in the courts. And more importantly, it says, if you
don't do all this stuff, you're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
But then it doesn't say how it would be in trouble.
There's no enforcement. Man.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
You remember my old thing. A rule is not a
rule without a punishment. There's no punishment, so without a punishment,
and it says the Department of Education will enforce this.
And if you've been following the news, it seems like
he's about to get rid of the Department of Education.
So I don't really know exactly what that's supposed to do.
But my point of all this is to say, this
(07:49):
is the one thing I think is positive about all this.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
The fact that the House did the hearing, the fact
that he.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Put out this executive order, which I think is probably meaningless,
but nevertheless he put out says to me Ryan that
I do think there is an urgen seat you try
to get this done, because I have told you, if
they don't get this done by the end of the
year by December, I think college sports becomes insanity starting
next year because for a variety of reasons that are boring.
(08:18):
I am at least encouraged Ryan that even though I
don't think the things that have gotten past are gonna work,
that it does seem we are going to start to
get some guardrails. But what is interesting is it looks
like these collectives are gonna survive.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It looks like.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Collectives are still going to be able to give out endorsements,
and so it seems like you're still going to have
a case where those who raise money are gonna end
up being able to do the best stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
That's I'm gonna say the way you kind of explained it.
At least this puts the wheel, even it doesn't pass,
puts the wheels in motion for something to be put
in place. I think everybody else parties can agree on.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Well, so far no, but at least it has at
least it has started in that motion. I say all
this to say because of this, there are some reports
out there now that can Kentucky may have spent more
money on the basketball roster this year than any team
in the country that this year. There's no way to
know for sure, but any team in the country, And
(09:11):
as I was thinking about that, I wanted to ask you, Drew,
let's put football to the side. If we get into
a money racing football, we ain't gonna win. Honestly, if
we don't get into a money racing football, I'm not
sure we're gonna win. But if you were a Kentucky
fan and you were sitting there saying for basketball, what
system do I want in place?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Do we want a.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
System, as Kentucky fans just being selfish that basically gives
everybody equal money. Or do we want a system where
it's the most money wins and we're good with that
because we'll probably have.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
The most money. Which would you prefer?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Do you think Kentucky basketball is better off long term
in a free market system or in everybody pays the
same amount life.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
That's why I think, of all of us, I gave
basketball the lowest of the revenue share, because I'm assuming
that the collectives in NIL are gonna take care of itself. Okay,
basketball has so many built in advantages. If you're recruiting
and you're both putting the same amount of money down,
Kentucky's gonna win most of those races. So I like
having the free market there, or maybe football can have
a little more of rep share because basketball is still
(10:16):
gonna have plenty to take care of the seven, eight,
nine guys that'll have to take care of.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
So here's what Nick Saban said chanting about Alabama football.
Nick Saban did an interview yesdaya Liis to which I thought,
he's He's a very smart guy and it was actually
interesting to listen to him. He said, I would prefer
for Alabama. Then everybody has an equal amount of money.
He said, because I everybody has an equal amount of money,
their tradition and the fan base of Alabama will beat
everybody else. He was like, Alabama is Alabama. So even
(10:43):
if you have the same amount of money offer to
you from Alabama and from Mississippi State, Alabama's gonna win
because we're Alabama.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
He said.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
What's hard is if Mississippi State has twice as much
money as me, then what happens then Alabama may not
matter as much. I was thinking about that because I
was on Drew side for a lot. I was kind
of like, we're gonna have more money than everybody else
when it comes to basketball. But there are schools like
Texas Tech that have one donor who goes, here's twenty
(11:14):
five million dollars. I'm gonna build a roster, and you
might want to go to Kentucky. But you know that
money is a lot at Texas Tech. So would you
like to have a system like Saban where you go
the money's equal and then Kentucky will be Kentucky and
we will be able to win.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Which do you prefer?
Speaker 7 (11:30):
I like Saban's idea whereas just everybody has the same
amount of money. That kind of goes back to the
way it was before nil, when nobody was getting money in.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Theory right, yes, but I mean by the rules we
were all on the same playing field.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
I would like for it to go to that point
to where we're all getting the same amount of money.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
It's interesting because my sympathies Ryan tend to be with
the players. I think it should be a free market
player should make what they want. At the same time,
I probably even more than that what Kentucky to win. Selfish,
I want Kentucky to win. And I know we have
a couple of donors you know who they are. We've
said their names who give a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
But those people might not be around forever, right, and
they might at some point just decide we don't want
to give money anymore. And so I do think that
having I do think Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Basketball can win in a world where everybody has the
same amount of money because we care more and.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
We have history.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yeah, and those donors may love the coach for a while,
then they have a falling out with the coach. Maybe
they would be mine, you know. So I think you
got to look the long, long term on So which
would you prefer?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Would you?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
If you're just talking about how do we make Kentucky
basketball the best? What system do you think ensures we
hang the most banners?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
I think that we can get as much money as
we can, not the equal among everybody else.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So you think we would always have more money for
basketball than the other schools? Yes, yeah, I don't know.
I think it's interesting. I think I do think.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Bitch had a comment the other day or the last
time I heard him talk about this, where he said,
drew something to the effect of, you create the system,
Kentucky basketball is still gonna win.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
You believe that's true that no matter what the system is,
Kentucky is Kentucky and we will win. I lean that way.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
I mean, Kentucky, I think we'll always have the built
in advantage with the passion and tradition, and that will
carry over then il attendance and things. You'll need to
put you over the top of other teams because the
fan base isn't going anywhere, and sure our our donors
are gonna die off, but maybe one of you are
in the process.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Maybe one of those now, well, maybe Kentucky will sell
enough of these bedliners that the next thing you know,
they can they can be.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Then in the works. Right now that grew up loving UK,
hopefully they're next in line.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Just yesterday, as I was walking all this stuff was
breaking and I was sitting there reading it and I
was thinking, this, I'm an attorney, and this is unbelievably
complicated to me, Shannon, I don't know how the average
fan is supposed to follow this. I really don't well, like,
I mean like there were four different pieces of news
that pushed it four different ways, and I was thinking,
I just don't understand how the NCAA and these and
(14:11):
I don't know how they think fans are gonna be
able to follow what's going on.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
I was trying to read about it this morning. My
head was spending. That's why we didn't talk about it
on the pre show. That we'll explain it to me
on KSR.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
But but even for me, the news goes in five
different directions. You have what Trump does, you have what
Congress does, and then you have what the courts do.
And I'm sure it is for these college administrators, like
a lot of these do. How in the world can
they even figure out what they're supposed to be doing?
Speaker 6 (14:38):
And obviously it's an f stain distraction yesterday, that's my
first That's exactly what I thought you two would say.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. It
is a beautiful day here in Lexington, a great week.
I drove by that Long John's there were there was
already cars away.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
When does it even open? It can't be open right now,
is it?
Speaker 6 (14:57):
It was really shiny too, It's like there was a
light on it.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
How can it be open right now? There were already
cars in the parking.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Lot, like what fish and biscuits a fish omelet?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Like what I I mean? You will say this. I
don't know much about Nicholsville. I know they love their
Long John Silver's, here. We will take a break and
be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio live at
Kentucky Customs. En up, fitty, we'll come back in this
Kentucky Sports Radio here at Kentucky Customs and uplifting.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
So they do these these do these liners Drew. They
put it on football, They put it on a watermelon.
They're going to see if Ryan can smash this watermelon.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Smash this.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Uh, this is the stuff the coding they put on trucks,
and we'll see if he's strong enough. I think they
they don't think he's gonna be able to do it. Uh,
he's failed at the last challenge. I don't think he's
gonna be able to do this with.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
You, Ryan's redemption to her. I don't think he can
break this. This is hard. If I were to throw
this and hitting the head, it knock you out.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
This is Mario already dropped it, Uh when I tried
to throw it at him earlier.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
So you gonna be able to break it? Are you
gonna lose an arm?
Speaker 8 (15:56):
Here?
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Not a chance. They are trying to be funny. I
got a couple of donuts back there in their bed.
I wanted me to crack a couple of donuts. I know,
I can't do it. That's amazingly tough.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
They have the best but bed covers, bedlinings in the
state and one of the largest selections. They also do
jeep up fifteen upfitting and overlanding setups. I was looking
at all the things they sell it here, and I
was trying to think of what the what if I
knew what these things were. What does it mean when
you say overlanding setup overlaying it says landing.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
I don't know. Why didn't you say, yeah, I have
a ten year old Highlander.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's I wanted to ask you shit?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
And you know it broke during the story of the
show yesterday, but Hulk Hogan, uh stuff came out all day.
I I ended up finding myself watching the big moments,
you know, watching Body slamming Andre the Giant, watching when
he and the Rock wrestled and they flipped from good
guy the bad guy, and the exact in one match,
Him and the Warrior, him and Sergeant Slaughter. Yeah, you know,
(17:00):
I went on a couple of shows last night. People
asked me just to talk about his impact, and I said,
this wrestling meat went from a regional thing to a
worldwide phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Really on the back of Hulkoche.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I mean, he was the person that kind of took
wrestling used to be, you know, twenty different regional organizations,
of which one was Louisville, Kentucky with ov W and
basically Vince McMahon through kind of cheating out his father.
You ought to watch the documentary Vince McMahon basically cheated
his father out of a wrestling organization, but in the
(17:35):
process made it national, which made it worldwide. And really
it was hul Cogan that was the star.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
He built that up absolutely, and you know, the WWF
would not be the same today without hul Cogan. Yeah,
he built the entire profession in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
He's like Tiger Woods.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I mean in the sense of like golf is different
now because of him. I think it's the same way
with Hope.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
You know, I said on the pre show, I think
in the eighties there was a time to where he
was the most famous person on the planet.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
In the eighties. I really do. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
You think people in India knew who hault coch.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yes, absolutely, and everybody knew.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
You think more people knew Hoult Cogan than the.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Pope probably, so stop.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Do you know who the pope was in the eighties, Yeah,
Pope John Paul.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I didn't know that, Okay, got new Halt Cokin. See
that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I'm not gonna go with you. Now, you know, I'm
a big wrestling I'll go far with you. I'm not
gonna go the most far.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I mean Muhammad Ali, the President of the United States.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Shamad was with Hogan at wrestle Mania, though he was.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I don't think everybody in Mubai saw that. But nevertheless
UD pay per view, I doubt they did close circuit TV.
But Ryan, you know you're not even wrestling fan, obviously
you knew you know who he was.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Yeah, like you said, yeah, you get sucked in looking
on all those videos. That's probably what was my first
introduction to wrestling was because I knew who he was.
So a lot of these video clips I saw yesterday's Yeah,
I've seen that in the past because he went mainstream,
he took wrestling, you know, mainstream with the bubble and you.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Know, I mean, if you've read anything about him, especially
in the last ten years, did some not good stuff, right,
But I also think I've watched people try to figure
out how to handle that, and I'm still a big believer.
Drew forty eight hours, man, give him.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
A flowers like.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I mean, he has a very trouble to say the least,
legacy and did some awful stuff, But for forty eight hours,
you should note some of the of what he did
and what he did. And I would say this, I
think politics today, if you.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Want to understand it, look at wrestling because a lot
of people that run it have a background in wrestling.
And I think, you know, Hokan was a big part
of that. As crazy as that sounds.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Yeah, I mean, I don't think he was trying to
give him a humanitarian award for his overall body of work,
but there's no denying what he did for entertainment and
joy brought people and what he did for.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Lot of joy.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
And let me also say, let me say one thing
positive for sure, did a ton of work with kids
on like Make a wi and stuff like that. One
of the things from from Hogan to John Cena, if
you look at the work these wrestlers do with Make
a Wish kids, I think it's some of the best coolest.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Stuff they do.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
They basically give these kids who are in the worst
you know, a lot of which will not survive. They
give them these moments. And Hogan, I think was the
first one to start doing that, and he does deserve
a lot of praise for that.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Who's up first? Roy is up first? Roy? Go ahead? Roy? Roy?
All right? No, Roy, who's next? Hey, We'll go to
Trevor next. Trevor. How are you, Trevor?
Speaker 9 (20:38):
I'm doing well, man.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
It's hard to.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
Follow up Old Roy there, but I got a little bit.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
A lot to say.
Speaker 9 (20:43):
Yeah, I had a lot to say. My first question
is I assume that a lot of these decisions on
a player level are being made by the the n
CUBA and maybe even the conferences and the athletic directors.
Do you see or is there anything in these bills
that gives the players any kind of collective bar getting
or any kind of stay in what happened behind the scenes.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Well, I mean, that's a really great question. The lawsuit
that was settled was the first time the players got
a voice, and that's why I think it had a
lot of impact. But no, for the most part, the
players don't and that's a big part of the of
the problem. I appreciate the call let me move real
quick to something different. North Carolina reports are considering joining
(21:24):
the ACC or going to orssue me trying to join
the SEC. That inside Carolina, which is basically the closest
equivalent to KSR drew of any website in the country.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
They are massive at Carolina.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
They're reporting the Carolina is making moves to prepare to
try to move to the SEC. I have said for
years that I think North Carolina is the most likely
team to join the SEC. Would you like North Carolina
as the seventeenth member of the SEC?
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Yeah, I mean since they've done realignment, we've all had
teams in mind, they're probably number one on my list.
And that report it says they're like exit fee to
leave the ACC goes down and I'm three years maybe,
so it opens the door to to really make it happen.
I would love to have North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
I think North Carolina gives the SEC everything they want.
It's a different state, so you don't have to step
on toes like Clemson Wood with South Carolina. It's got
a great history in a lot of sports, and it's
a football team that we could beat, right which I
actually like that.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Yeah, add your little power to the SEC and basketball
helps us in football. I would rather see them than
like Missouri or Oklahoma. It's all yeah, I'll be happy.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
To think that's that.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
You guys are trying to put teams in. I'm trying
to kick them out, like I want Missouri out.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Who would you take Missouri out? Who would be the second?
You gotta be careful, you don't want to get to
where they kick us out. It would probably be if
you were gonna kick two out, they'd probably kick out
Missouri and Mississippi State. Right with this, Fandy has that.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Thing where they're private, which means we don't have to
release our numbers to the to the so we gotta
keep Vandy.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
And we're original.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
You can't kick out the original Missouri and Mississippi State
to me would be the two you'd probably kick out.
Bring in Carolina and then maybe Florida State or Clipson.
We'll take a break and be right back. We are
here at Kentucky Customs up Fitting. It's KSR Quarterback Tucky
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
If I'm not two eight oh twenty two eighty seven
here at Kentucky Customs and Upfitting they got to obviously undercoating.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
They've got goose neck and five and fifth wheel hitch installs.
What's a goose neck?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
You know what's that hook that comes out and it
has like a goose neck?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Goose neck?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, yeah, but when you all just keep moving your hand,
where is.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Goose on the back? Back on the back, you know
the goose.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Like where you put it, like a trailer hits You
got a trailer and that's called the goose neck into the.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Trailer's got this little contraption that sticks up and then
hooks to your truck. That's that's called the goose neck.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Look at you, you know everything that one on your car.
I do have some goose neck you want?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
I got multiple in case I need find two eight
twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Did we like what Arkansas did yesterday?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
The tweet to Arkansas their official men's basketball account eats
out that there was a ranking of the best teams
of the two thousands and Kentucky's twenty twelve team was second,
Kentucky's twenty fifteen team was fourth, and Memphis's two thousand
and nine team was twentieth, and Arkansas tweets it out
(24:18):
and says coach of the greatest teams, John Calperry. Of course,
one little problem. None of those were Arkansas exactly. They
were both Kentucky. They were Kentucky and Memphis. I found
that unbelievably embarrassing if you were Arkansas. I analogized it
to somebody going, Hey, you know, my wife's ex husbands
really are pretty awesome, aren't they look at how look
(24:41):
at how good they treated? Or do you would you
if you were in Arkansas fan, would.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You find that embarrassing? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (24:47):
But I go to the comments and they're proud. It's
like they're not self aware. They've been doing this for
a while. Like some NBA players signed a contract book
or something and they're betweeting cal with more billions in
the NBA. It's like, what are you doing? Also, Kentucky's
arrival at one point in Memphis was rival. You were
on their schedule that year that you're celebrating and got beat.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
I think it's did we do that when he was here?
Like I can't remember did we celebrate the Memphis stuff?
Speaker 6 (25:15):
And I think you go like two months when you
first make the hire to at least put out some credentials.
But you've had a full season. Now, why are you
celebrating in with Kentucky?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I feel like I might have said something at some
point that was like Derrick Rose was good. But besides that, Ryan,
I don't think I did. I cannot imagine if you're
Arkansas basketball, a program that's won a national title, that
you would put out graphics celebrating your coach's success at
another place and not your place.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
You gotta wonder what is going on with that marketing
department in Arkansas. At one time, Kentucky was with those
biggest rivals and those games on in the nineties were awesome, Like,
but your rival used to do it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Is there any chance he's standing over someone in the
graphic department telling them to no out question?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Listen when when Cal? This happened at UK? So people
know when Cal comes into a place, he makes all
the marketing. He basically it becomes marketing Cal. Like that's
I mean? You remember, I think Cal's good to former players, Like, don't.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Get me wrong, I don't think he shuns the past.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
But I just want you to think about what the
practice facility looked you look like at UK when he
was the coach.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
He just all references everyone that had played before and
they were gone. The references were to his players.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
So he would put all the UK players in the NBA,
But at first Rondo wasn't even right. Rondo was in
the NBA, and they would have all the players in
the NBA, but they wouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Rondo on there. And then eventually I think they changed that.
But there were years where there was no mention of Rondo,
and Rondo went and't won a.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Championship at Boston and there was no reference to him.
Now if you go so like when Mark Pope got here,
if you had just gone into the practice facility, you
would have thought that Cal was the only coach we
ever had here. Now all that stuff is gone. Now
they show all eras, there are even pictures of Cal
(27:15):
in there. I think the same thing Shannon happens in Arkansas.
It's like, oh, where's Scotty Thurman, Corlos Williamson, I don't know,
but you know what he had.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Devin Booker UK. I think that's just kind of how
it is.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
If you remember when Cala Perry left Kentucky to go
to Arkansas, he made the comment something to the effect
of cal University still here. We're just packing up and
going to a new city, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
So he said that is exactly right, you know.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
And Arkansas, by the way, that's not the first time
they've done that on social media, trying to claim things
for Cali Perry.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
That he did at other schools. Yeah, I guess they're
proud of.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
He also did an interview I thought was really funny.
He goes, look at the SEC last year. He said,
look at the top seven teams. He said, all seven
of them had ninety I think he said all seven
of had ninety five percent of their starters returning from
the year before. And then he goes, well, one of
(28:08):
them may not have. Well, the one of them was Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
The one of them was Kentucky, where we had no
starters returning from the year before. I did think that
was kind of funny. He was like, they all had
First of all, I'm sure the other teams didn't have
ninety five percent either. I think he probably made that
number up, but Kentucky had zero players returning.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
That's true. And if we go down this, he also
said many times were a new team and I wanted
to be.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Like DJ and dude Bigsy.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Yes, it's a new uniform, but I think they've played
for you once before and together.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
His point was, now I've got my team returning, and
so we're gonna basically win the sec was what he
was saying.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
All Right, so we'll see if that happens.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Who's up next?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Andy?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Is up next? Andy? Go ahead? Andy?
Speaker 10 (28:52):
Hey man, I just had a question for you. I
went and listened to your podcast, Tommy t Board, and
I really enjoyed it, and which let me listen to
which led me to listen to the interview that Joe Rogan,
Jason or James Turple. I think I'm saying this name.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, I don't want I.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Mean, I appreciate that. I don't really want to. We're
in a remote I don't want to talk that that.
But but go ahead, finish what you were saying.
Speaker 10 (29:17):
No, I'm not I'm going to talk about that specifically.
I was just going to ask you, do you uh
I share a lot of similar boys with that guy
and related to that, and do you know of any
thing that I can listen to on YouTube? Because you know,
I lived down here in Somerset and there's not a
lot of progressive Christian churches you can. I just was
(29:39):
wanting some advice on that. If someone would like to,
you know, start with yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I don't know. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Somebody will write me andy about that, somebody that lives
in Somerset, and i'll, i'll, i'll, i'll, I'll reach out
to you.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Okay, all right, I appreciate it, man, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Hey, if I'm nine to eight, oh twenty two eighty seven,
what place are we finishing in the SEC this year?
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Ah, Florida's gonna be really good. I think the SEC
is gonna be much easier than it was a year ago.
But Florida is a contender. I'll say second, but it's.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
We're one, and that's what I have.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
We're fighting for first. It's gonna be close.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I think we finished. I think the SEC is going
to be significantly worse this year in basketball, which is
a good thing for us. I don't think there's gonna
be like ten teams challenging this year.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I'm gonna say second as well. What do you think?
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Yeah, second or third? They'll get second. They just don't
lose some of those games like on a Tuesday night
at Ole Miss. You know they can prevent those kind
of tough losses. They should definitely be second fight for
the title.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
I lean third. But how good is Tennessee gonna be
this year? Are they gonna be terrible or they're down?
Speaker 4 (30:45):
They're down?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I think I think they have a deal.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
I think Alabama's still trying to come back. Is he's
still I.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Think you gotta. I think Alabama dips. I think Auburn dips.
I think Tennessee dips. Florida's gonna still be really good.
I think Arkansas will be a little better. We're gonna
be better.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
Am has a new coach.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yeah, I mean I think the league is oddly ryan.
I think the league takes a significant down. I mean,
last year the league might have been better than it's
ever been. Yeah, I think this year it takes a
significant dip down. I mean Alabama and all Alabama especially
took a huge They did not do well in.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
The portal and they lost a lot of guys. I
think that that's gonna be a big difference.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
I think this is one of those years where like
a team like LSU, they now they have you know,
kind of kind of had figured it out by the
end of the season. Last year, maybe one of those
teams kind of puts on a good run.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Mississippi State will be better. I don't know it's Vandy good.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
I have no idea. I haven't really been following them
at all in the offseason.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Yeah, I don't either.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Hey, stop overpaying for sunglasses. Check out Shady Rays and
independent American owned companies started right here in Kentucky. Premium
polarized shades from tangle aviators to color rush lenses, the
best protection program in the industry. Look at Shady Rays
or shady rays dot com for their blue and white collection.
I'm going to be given away UK Purdue exhibition game tickets.
(32:05):
By the way, they announced yesterday Connecticut and Michigan State
are going to play a secret scrimmage. But they're inviting
the public, which I don't know how secret. I don't
know how sound. I'm not sure how secret it is.
If we were to play a secret scrimmage that invited.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
The public, who would you like to play?
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Duke? I want it to matter, though, but anything to
get Duke, go to Duke, come to Rup.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Anything you like a secret scrimmage against Duke?
Speaker 5 (32:36):
What would you like if it's a team we don't
normally play.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
It's not like a real game, so it's a secret scrimmage,
but you invite the public, so I don't know how.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
And they also had the date and the time, so
I'm not sure exactly what part of myself. Yeah, I'm
not sure what part of it is secret. But what
would you do?
Speaker 5 (32:51):
I think I think Connecticut's got to be into conversation.
You'll have them and play them for a change. You know,
we played Gonzagon, now we played Duke once in a while.
North Carolina wants to Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I think that would be a good would you? I mean,
I can't. I don't think we could do it because
they're already being secret. But would you do it?
Speaker 7 (33:04):
And it's gotta be a I guess a team that
we're not already playing on the schedule.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I would think, so you'd want to play somebody by
the way. Prayers out to Bill self. I don't know
if you saw. He had an emergency medical situation yesterday,
apparently something with his heart.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
He he is okay, but apparently it was a very
like touch and go situation for a while. But he's okay.
He had stints put in. But prayers to to Bill.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
So absolutely.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
I don't know, like maybe a Ucla just because of
the blue blood name. I know they're not probably gonna
be that great this year.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
But Michigan's really good this year. That would be a
that would be a good team to test yourself against.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
I think Villanova at some point maybe be in the
conversations had to play within.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Are we going to take this Purdue game seriously? Oh?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yeah, what I mean, I know Pope will, but Purdue
is the number one team in the country, but the
game doesn't count. I don't know that we've ever played
a game like that before, at least not in my lifetime.
I think some of the folks have been around longer.
Did we play like the Soviet Union? Yeah, back in
the like in the eighties.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
Crushed Yugoslavia one year, but we played.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
In the Soviet Union when the Soviet Union was like
really good at basketball. Were you around during those games?
Speaker 10 (34:11):
No?
Speaker 5 (34:12):
The stories of that game are legendary though, how Joe
Hall kind of got it put together.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
But I mean, did the did fans take it? I mean,
I'm sure they did take it.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I just I'm trying to figure out when when we
played Purdue, are are we going to be cheering like
that's a real game.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Yes, yes, absolutely want to win.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
It, probably more so than the real games that aren't
market Are people going to be like.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Am I going to be pacing?
Speaker 6 (34:36):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (34:37):
Is there gonna be a post game show for that?
There should be.
Speaker 6 (34:40):
I was pacing for the TBT game. Of course, I'm
gonna pace for the Troy versus Purdue.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I was pacing. I really was. I found myself at
one moment screen and I was like, Matt, what are
you doing.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Post game show for that?
Speaker 4 (34:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Especially purduees number one? Yeah, I mean it's gonna if
I'm not two eight oh twenty two. And we will
take a break very back here in Nicholsville. This is
Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
What it is Kentucky Sports Radio, Kentucky Customs and up Fitting.
If you come to Kentucky Customs and up Fitting here
in Nicholsville mentioned k s R now now July and
tippers it off your springs and rust protection. During the
hour break, we're gonna let you go outside and see
if you can uh knock that watermelon.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Okay, I'm worried about throwing my shoulder out of whack
that there's no way I'm gonna be able to pop
that watermelon.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
We like that, Yeah, exactly, come on, uh my text
the day what person rides Matt?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
The Purdue game important if we win, if we lose,
it's not important at all.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
That's the perfect metality to have in the games.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
That's the best game on the schedule. It's absolutely house money.
We will form.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I know there's on the stream right now. I know
it's not the greatest. So if I if we sound
like Transformers Holly, it will sound a little better.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
At the game.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Against the Soviet Union, it was one of the loudest
arenas we've had it rup. It was during the Cold
War and James Lee got a dunk that made.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
The roof explode.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
It's kind of I don't The game also wasn't on TV,
so unless you were there, yeah, you wouldn't even know
about it.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I kind of like that, you know, you.
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Hear those stories like that for people that claim to
be there, say they were there, but apparently it was
a big deal when it happened to Pat may remember,
she's here, she may remember that were you there.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
Pack probably doesn't remember, though, all those Russia games run together.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yeah, yes, every time we played the Russians.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
The Lithuanian team that used to play in the nineties
a lot, and you'd have to wait until like the
tape delay at eleven o'clock to watch that.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Ryan's right, we played Yugoslavia when Yugoslavia was.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Good, when well, it's not even a country now, so
when it but when it was yeah, when it existed.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, yeah, did play child.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
I wish we'd do.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
We should do.
Speaker 6 (37:02):
Take on all the countries.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Let's bring them on.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Uh Okay, So the in they announced yesterday the NCAA
Tournament will almost certainly not expand.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
This year due to logistics.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
They were going to continue to look at it for
the future, but it will not expand this year. You know,
we've talked a lot about whether or not we think
you should. Most of us agree that it should not.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
If it does it, if it does only go to
a few more, it's going to expand at some point.
But I guess I'm glad Ryan, it's not doing it
this year.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
It's going to happen. I mean, it's coming. I mean,
they make too much money off that event. I'm with you, though,
they expand it just a little bit, maybe just four
more teams don't expand the little the ninety whatever, just
go like maybe four more play them on Dayton making
an event the week leading into the NCA turn.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
You could do you could do as we talked about,
or you could do four games a day in Dayton
on On on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I'm okay with that, but you get beyond that.
Speaker 6 (37:54):
No, he said yesterday the president Charlie Baker. The part
of the logistics is they are going to add a
second play in sight. So that's part of the reason
why they're not ready yet. Oh they are. It sounds
like the next tournament after this year, twenty twenty seven
is when it's most likely to start. And he didn't
have an exact number, but he said he likes between
seventy two and seventy.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Six between seventy two.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
We didn't have a number, but somewhere in there, seventy
two to seventy six, like seventy three years.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Yeah, one more year at least where it's like it is.
I hope it stays like that. I don't want to
see his get it where it's like in the nineties,
Shannon and then basically everybody makes it at that point.
I mean, if you do that, if you're in a
power conference, you're in just when you start.
Speaker 7 (38:35):
When talking the expansion first came up several years ago,
ninety six was mentioned. I'm going that's just way too
way too But as Ryan would say, the expansion train
is coming.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
He also said it's not, by the way, definitely not
about money.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
On my podcast, interrupted Matt Orlander, the college basketball reporters
going to be on to basically talk about you remember,
he was the one that said Kentucky was spending nine
million on basketball and nine million on football. He kind
of still believes that's the case. So that's why I'm
bringing him on to talk about it and see. You know,
I've heard that's not the case. But you know, he
(39:08):
could end up being right. I don't know, we'll see.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
You know, he's well respected, he will he's fair that
if somebody.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Didn't, there's got something. I know. He's here and now, yeah,
we're gonna talk about that. It'll be out later this afternoon.
Who's up next? Jerry is up next? Hey?
Speaker 8 (39:25):
Mate? Jerry? Yeah, I'm right.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Next week we're going to work and we're not calling
every day, Jerry. So this is I'm gonna let you
do it today, but we're gonna take next week off.
Speaker 8 (39:37):
Okay, Well, I was gonna say, is that I think
that what is going on the Congression. He's good for
you case football, and I think it's gonna I think
the eventually something's gonna pass. You're gonna see caps on
all these sports.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Yeah, I mean caps. I don't know, but I was
talking to a person here.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
The only way that the NCAA is going to have
something that will stand up in court and we'll rename law.
Speaker 5 (40:13):
I just take.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
That's the one thing they can do.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
And I think we all hope that they end up
doing that, but it'll have to be bipartisan if they
do that, which means they'll have some stuff for athletes.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
In there.
Speaker 5 (40:27):
Well.
Speaker 8 (40:27):
And I think that when it gets to the set,
there's also going to be some protections in there for
women sports and some other things. It's it's gonna be
good for college sports. Pressure now all the way around
for it to happen.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
That was one good thing, and.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
I appreciate the called that was in the Trump thing
he did say, and I was glad. I was glad
to see this because this means this will be the
position of the Republicans. They did say protections on every
school that gives money to a coach of at least
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. So if you pay
any coach two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which pretty
(41:05):
much is every big school, you have to have sixteen
sports at your college, and presumably that means you'll have
to have eight women's sports.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
So basically I did like that because I did.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Wonder if we were going to get to a point
ryan where everything went away except basketball, football, and baseball.
This bill does say you would have to have at
least sixteen sports at your school. I think that's actually
really good for a lot of the smaller sports who
were worried about whether or not they were going.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
To go away.
Speaker 5 (41:34):
I think my biggest takeaway if everything you've said about
this topic is that Donald Trump is saving college sports,
that's true, That's right. I think that's my biggest takeaway.
Are you trying to just no, just you know, fighting
for the little I could save the Baball tournament.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
That's good to hear that jersey. He looked like you
could go play.
Speaker 5 (41:51):
I think I could play on the pitch to not
be on the pitch tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
And be a good goalie.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
I would be a good goalie. All right.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Do you think you're gonna be able to break this water?
Not a chance. All right, I'm looking forward to you.
You're gonna do it, myriol filment right here during your break.
You just want to go out here, out.
Speaker 5 (42:05):
Front, wherever they want me to go.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
We do me a favor. Just don't hurt yourself.
Speaker 5 (42:08):
I get the ambulete ready. I'm sure my shoulder, I'm
I'll probably pull of groin trying to bust that water.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
No reason for your growing to be involved. We will
take a break. Be right back back I number two.
