Speaker 4 (00:35):
Welcome everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Tuesday, October the seventh.
I'm Matt Jones here on a rainy, nasty, nasty day
in Lexington, Kentucky. But we are at Chaos Bar and
Grill and got a bunch of folks here this morning. Ready, go,
I haven't been here in three and a half weeks,
but I'm here today and be here tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
On Thursday.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
You can shout the Clarks Puppy Shop full line eight
five to nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Ay Vision Auto Glass X Machine is seven seven two
seven seven four five two five four in this stition
sponsored by the TJ. Smith Office called Tj'll make them pay,
all right. So we got folks here uh from I
think Mount sterling E Town, Kingsport, uh in all parts
around the state, Kingsports, Tennessee. That's a Kentucky and Tennessee fan.
(01:18):
You know what they said to me, Ryan, what they
say one.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Of them is Kentucky fan. Wheams a Tennessee fan.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
The Kentucky fan gets so nervous during games, can't watch it,
which I've been there, I know what that's like.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
Familiar.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
But when they go.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
To Kentucky Tennessee football games at Newlands Stadium, they take
two cars so he can leave. Ryan if Kentucky's losing,
which is almost every single time.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
At the Brave Man sitting there married doing some of
the big Orange. Shouldn't have you tuned Tobaco in her mouth?
Speaker 5 (01:43):
What is it with you in the chewing? I knew
he's gonna say that.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
He has like six things that come out in those
situations are rare.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
You shut up?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Do you like the do you like the having to
go in separate cars?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I do?
Speaker 7 (01:58):
I love that actually parked next to them here, and
they have a license plate that's divided. It's a half
Tennessee ago half UK. So I didn't even know we
were gonna bring this up, but I know exactly which
vehicles there's outside.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
So half Tennessee, half Kentucky license plate. That's uh, well,
that's that's devotion. Love conquers all, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
It is a terrible day outside, absolutely terrible.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
But that's all right because I hear you all had
great weather while I was gone. Drew, and I did
media day yesterday. We'll talk about that in.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
A minute, Drew. Overall, this team very.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Likable guys, maybe the most talkative guys that I can.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Remember in a long, long time.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
Yeah, and that's the nature of the teams just getting
a little older. You know, we loved a lot of
Cows players, but they were freshmen and weren't ready to
have cameras put in their face. You know, we're getting
used to one two sentence answers, which is fine, you know,
not a huge deal. But now we're getting all these
old heads. You ask them a question and it's five
minutes for it's time to ask another one. They're very,
very fun to talk to.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Well, even last year.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
I mean, those guys were all older and nice, but
they just kind of tended to be quiet.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
This group is a talkative group.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
With I mean interest ranging from chess to anime to
poetry to you gi. You can tell Mark Pope is
he recruits a different kind of guy, like I mean literally,
I asked all of them, give me something interesting about
you outside of basketball, and the answers were anime, spider Man,
(03:25):
Yu gi oh, poetry, and chess. That is not what
you think of when you think of a basketball team, right,
But they were all But that's unique, the.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
Very mature bunch. They're all probably if curfews eleven, they're
all probably home by nine thirty sleep. It's just just
a different, different game these days. But it being much
older across the board, and this group seems as fun
as any we've had a long time.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
It's good to see you. How are things in your world?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Can we talk about you guys yesterday on the show
if you want? Well, you guys were funny. It's like
you're at the end of a week long road trip.
You were slap happy, tired, and it was just that
the thought of the two you're sitting in momortal costing
with nobody else in there, you guys just well, I.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Mean they told us the night before, by the way,
we're not gonna be able to get you anybody. And
so it was like, well, okay, your media day with
no basketball media day, but there's nobody there, so you know,
you make the best of it. Drew and you and
I had been up talking literally to each other eight
hours before.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
It just took a couple hours nap and just turned
the MIC's back on it. Yeah, it helped that Billy
was wearing khaki pants, keeping us professional.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Billy literally is gonna cost us darn Ruby. He was
sitting there walking with his khaki pants. There's no I mean,
if Darren Ripby Jr. Doesn't come, it's Billy our sports.
Because I looked at him, he had a look of
awe in his face at the building, the coaches, and
then the moment he saw Billy's khaki pants, he was like,
oh oh.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
He thought he was in North Carolina.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
This is not what we're supposed to do.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
It was also fun. I love awkward moments, like the
more awkward and uncomfortable. I love to live in that.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I'm weird, you like that.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
So being critical of the athletic department when I know
a lot of them listen and we're just on the
other side of the wall. That was kind of fun too.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
It was the tough, I mean stuff because you had
to talk about the football situation. Speaking of the football situation,
I've spoken about it multiple times, so is rue you
have not because you have not been on the broadcast
since we lost to Georgia. Where are you on all
things UK football right now?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Really?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
From the Georgia game, I saw a big step up
and Cutter Bowlly. I mean, I know there's a lot
of negative to talk about, but I saw a big
step up in him going against one of the best
teams in the country, and you seem to like just
grow as the game went on. Now, defense is a
different story. I thought our defense was gonna be elite
this year and they could not get off the field
on third down. Just could not get off the field
on third.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
What about overall, though, Like, what about overall with the
you know, your guy cut Man had reports that got refuted.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
What do you think about overall with the program?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
I kind of agree with you guys said yesterday, if
they go three and nine, you have to make a
decision four and nine, probably four and eight, But then
if you get to five and seven, then it gets
a little dicey. And where the program is right now,
it's not It's not going forward in two and a
half years. I mean, this is not just a one
year thing. This has been coming for the last three seasons.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
One are there.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
There's what two and fourteen in their last sixteen sec games.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
It's not good.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
That's crazy.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Yeah, that's haven't had two touchdowns in twelve games.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
So this is not just a one off. This is
the program issue.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
So yet we we nobody lost their job yesterday, correct,
So right now everybody is still employed. I'm assuming. I mean,
don't they do football practice in the morning. So if anything.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Yeah, by the way, we didn't get touched this stoop's
not doing his call in show last night, you know,
I mean I was critical of cal.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I'm still we repeating, are we repeating that?
Speaker 7 (06:56):
You gotta do the you gotta read the room. I
know it's a bye week, and you've done this in
the past. You even had Bush Hampden do it a
few weeks ago during that by week. But you got
to look around at the situation and know that people
don't want to hear it.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
So this is like repeating.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I mean, the Calipari formula is being repeated, detached, loses
contact with fans, retreats. I mean, we're basically getting the
Caliperi formula again. And we saw how it worked out,
and cal Perry had had a lot more success than Stoops.
It's just this is a terrible way to do.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
It, Ryan, It is too early familiar. We saw the
Cali Payer's legacy kind of tarnish his last couple years,
and now my heart hurts because we're seeing the exact
same thing with Stoops right now.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
It is the exact same thing. And I don't know.
I just don't know how it switches.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
And I think the fact that we had basketball media
day afterwards honestly was like, oh, this is how it's
supposed to me. Okay, let's go back to football media day.
That was the first time we'd seen any of the players,
first time I had heard of most of the players.
We had a great interview with shiaje Pete. That was
(08:04):
good yesterday though.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Two things.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
First of all, what an engaging group this This fan
base is gonna fall in love with his basketball team.
I mean, they're gonna everybody's gonna like Jalen Lowe such
a likable kid. Jaden Quainton's such a likable kid. Muhammed
Diabate kind of feels older than he is, but seems
smart and mature. Cam Williams is kind of a wild card.
(08:27):
I think he's gonna be funny to see. I think
he's gonna end up saying something crazy some game, and
that's gonna be exciting. Like all, I just thought, man,
this this fan base is gonna love this group. And
then we find out when it's over that UK is
doing something that I can't believe they're doing, and congrats
to them.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I've been preaching about this stuff for years.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Saturday, before Big Blue Madness, they are going to have
a fan fest that is free. You do not have
to pay, you do not have to donate to nil
but down there at Raparina from noon to four thirty
the men basketball team Pope, the women's basketball team Kenny Brooks,
free autographs, meet the get to meet the players, hopefully
(09:09):
meet the coaches, depending on how many people come. Free
for the people who can't get into Big Blue Madness.
I mean, like I've been saying, stuff like this for
years and they're doing it, and then you sit there
and think about what football did, Like basketball didn't even
need to do that, and they're doing it, and then
football we had nothing like that.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
It's awesome that they're doing that, especially at a time
now where every direction you look, somebody's got their hand
out as that's exactly right asking for another dollar. For
them to have a free event like that, that's just awesome, awesome,
awesome for them.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
To I really am.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I am very critical and have been critical of the
fan engagement part of UK athletics, and I've talked about
how much I didn't think was connected to the average fan.
This is they deserve all the price for this. I
hope people go. I mean, one of the things is
if we're going to say they need to do stuff
like this, people need to go when they do it.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
But I think they will. And you know, this.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Is a great ans wherever you are in the state,
Like this is a time you don't have to spend
a dollar beyond the gas money to get here, and
you can actually meet your basketball team and you can
potentially meet your coach. I don't know how you can
be I don't know how you can mean anything but
happy about that?
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Or on the show you said something about reading the room.
Basketball team reads the room? Do they really they get it?
That's fan engagement. It's exactly what the football team should
have done this year, of all years, with the apathy
setting in, they should have done something like this.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Why are you sitting on the floor?
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (10:29):
What's he doing over there?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Okay? What if we talked to Mario about a high angle?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I always say to you shoot from either eye level
or high angle. And you're down on the floor. You're literally,
first of all, you're sitting on the floor, and you
are you trying to give us triple chins?
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Like? What is your goal?
Speaker 7 (10:47):
I'm worried about a basic instinct situation here, he's so low.
Keep it above the table, Mario.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
It's the first time I've ever seen you sit on
the floor.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
But yes, so if I'm nine, twenty two eighty seven,
have you met one person since the game Saturday that's
excited about potentially running it back next year with this
coach's death?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
No?
Speaker 7 (11:14):
No, no, not at all, And.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Like I said, it breaks my heart. I mean I
love coach duopsy. Dude, we've ever had here? I agree,
it's just kind of sad to see the way it's
kind of falling apart here right now.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Outside of the people that are just ugly and nasty online,
I mostly hear that, like I hate that I'm this
way because he did so much, but it just has
to happen. It's like they're sad saying it, but they're
saying it.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
It's it's like a it's like a breakup.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Well, okay, so everybody breaks up in divorces in different ways,
right I know people who when they break up, like
you have to hide.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
The furniture because they're throwing it at each other.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
But oftentimes, at least in my life, the breakups have
just been like we have to do this, but it's sad,
like like like it's sad, like it's not gonna work,
but it's sad.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
I kind of feel like that's what this is.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
It's a relationship that I don't think there's any animosity
at least in most crowds, but it's sad. And I
think unless you win three games outside of Tennessee Tech
the rest of the year, it's gonna be one of
those It's not you, it's me, but we have to
do it right, Yep.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
I think I said this off the air yesterday, not
on the air. But I think the best case scenario,
I'm assuming they don't get an sec loss is fire
up the victory cigar in Louisville's locker room one last
time and win the Governor's cup, and then that's the
that's the the send off. You beat Vince, you walk
down Morels down we all get to we won't be there.
(12:43):
But we also know Stoops a lot.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
He's not walking, That's true.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
I mean the thing, the thing, this is where personality
comes in, right, So the difference between Cow and Stoops
is Cow was gonna go out defiantly right.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
He wont to be one of those I'm breaking up
with you, right. That was kin, don't fire me, you
don't get to fire me. I'm breaking up with you.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
And that's why it worked out so well that Arkansas
came because he got to walk away and said, I
broke up with you.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Stupis is not gonna be like that.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I don't think he's gonna I don't think he's gonna
have any like vengeance. But I do think there's gonna
be a sense of Stoops very much takes the view
of all right, fine, but I'm getting my money, like
like that's gonna be his view.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Do you agree with that?
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Yeah, I mean we joke, abut I always say it's
back to work. But he's just gonna keep showing up
at work until there's Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
No, I think you're right. He's gonna be like George Costanta.
He's just gonna keep coming into the like this is
my job, this is and we agreed, you're gonna give
me this money. And I think that's its own kind
of difficulty.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
All the pressure about the future of this program is
shifted from Mark Stoops, I think now to Mitch Barnhart.
What is he gonna do?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
What will he do?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Mitch Barnhart didn't show it, I mean not no appearance yesterday.
And there have been media days where he's there. There's
been media days where he's not. So I'm not saying
that that's but I didn't even see his face in
the building yesterday. Usually, at least in me, like he'll
just sit and watch the press conference at least to
see his coach, Like he'll he'll come in there and
just want to see. How Mark didn't seem yesterday, And
(14:19):
I don't think you're gonna see him at all. I mean,
I Mitch talks to the media, what twice a year, maybe.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Once a year.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
He'll do the football media day. It's usually the one
we know is on the schedule, but you.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Know, I mean that's I've always thought that was poor
form because you know, or he'll do an official one
with the JAMI broadcast, but no one's gonna ask a
tough question in that scenario.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
I think Mitch probably ought to talk now. He can't.
There's not a lot he can say right now.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I get it, but people, you know, there's a lot
happening in college sports, and it would be nice to
hear what his take is on some of it.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Right I can only imagine what his inbox looks like
recently from what's been going on over here at the
football stadium too. So he knows. We know, we don't
think he engages with the fans much, but he knows
right now how mad people are he does.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Well, we're gonna talk a little basketball media day. I
thought there were some interesting things that came up. Mark
Pope seems well, we'll talk about Mark Pope. I don't
know him well, but I think I could read some
of his comments yesterday, and I think he's pretty excited
about this group. We'll take a break, be right back
to Kentucky Sports Radio. My Man Conway twenty.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
In the house. Hey, Shannon, you know playing.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Some Conway on the show.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
That's true, Well, because it creeps everybody out when we
play it. This is one of his ones that's not
really creepy. I don't think that's my job. Yeah, yeah,
I think that one's pretty normal. It's about like his
dad or whatever. Right h eight twenty two eighty seven,
we were back at ks Bar since I've been gone.
You know, I didn't I didn't have a phone. I
came home to all these messages on the text machine,
(15:50):
lots of really good messages.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
You know.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
When we were open, before we took our summer break,
we sold like wings to burgers was like three to one,
like seventy five percent wings twenty five percent burgers. Now
it's fifty to fifty. And the burgers just keep growing,
like people will seem to like people. The wings are
the same, so like there, but the the burgers are
taking over. Steve Grissom no che lind of Farms. Shout
(16:16):
out y'all, y'all did it and our new smash burger technique.
So try now, I do need to apologize to people.
Person here we go, Okay, I think it's very important
when you're in charge of something to acknowledge when we
when we had a mistake and it's going to be rectified.
But there are paper straws right now. Boo boop at
(16:36):
kspar they sent us the wrong ones.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I know, I know a lot of people are like,
I'm Matt, you dirty liberal. My liberal just stops at straws.
I'm I am a maga straw person. So we they
made a mistakes, so we have to run through these
and then we'll be back to the plastic ones. But
I don't want y'all to think like I've gotten I'm
hippie liberal, but not on this plastic straws. So we
(17:02):
would that was one screw up, just so people know
it's not. This will be a temporary thing. Hopefully we'll
be through the paper ones by the by big blue
madness aday.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
I saw last Wednesday morning is when I first saw
the first paper straw in here and immediately went to
Monique and was like, we cannot have this. We have
to get all these out of the building before he
lands from South Africa. So just now, when I went
to get my drink, I casually knocked one of the
boxes into the trash can. Just a little put on
the spill sheet.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Whoops.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Hopefully my big blue madness will be through with those.
We could get to the back to the plastic ones.
Like I said, plastic, I know it's not great, but
paper straws are just a non non gop for it.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
It's almost a blessing in disguise that you didn't have
your phone, because if you'd.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Have known that, no, I would I wouldn't have enjoyed
the drift.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yeah, I would have spent all sixteen hours on the
flight going where do we have plastic straws somewhere?
Speaker 5 (17:48):
All right, let's talk about the team for a second.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
When Cow was here, I used to kind of be
I thought like a cow whisperer ride I could I
could hear his comments, and I could tell how good
he really thought the team was. There were time, I mean,
he would always sa I love this group, but especially
in the preseason. You could see when you when he
thought he was sitting on a ferrari and when he
thought he was sitting on a fixer upper.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
You know, Camri right, like.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
He knew and generally speaking, he was right, with a
couple of exceptions. I'm not a pope whisperer yet I can't.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I can't read everything he says, but I can tell
you this. I was there last year, I'm there this year,
and it's clear he thinks his team's a.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Lot better than last year. Like you can just tell.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
I mean, you can tell he thinks I have got
a group, and he says it in so many words,
but you can also just see it in his actions.
Like a couple of people brought up things like are
you worried about this? And he was just like, no, no,
I'm not worried. I think Ryan he thinks he's got
a chance to have a powerhouse squad.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Just listening to him yesterday, it's almost like he looked
at what was missing from last year's team, the weaknesses
of last year's team, and then went and got somebody
to fill those voids on this team. Like there was
no missing link at all on this year's team.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
He says, like Drew, last year, we were kind of
able to scheme our way defensively to hide some of
our problems. And then he was like, and then all
of a sudden that went away when we played more.
He basically was like, when we got to the SEC,
they were too athletic for us. And I think he
took the view of I ain't letting that happen again,
and I think he thinks he's got a lot of
guys who can do play defense.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Definitely. You mentioned a camera that was my first car.
Cameras are great throughout Law SCHOOLTT, Georgetown and Toyota than uh.
To your point about them him being a little more excited,
I asked O way directly. I was like, you were
on both of Pope's teams at this point, you did,
what do you think? And he was like, we're a
lot more competitive right now than we were last year.
(19:41):
Not his exact words, but he was kind of saying
they were a little bit walk on eggshells. There are
a lot of guys that were older, they didn't where
they were getting into. Pope was new. I don't want
to say they were timid, but he's say it wasn't
like we were just showing up and going to war
every morning. That's kind of what he said, this group's
like the moment they got on campus, it was just
every single practice they're going out.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I think they intentionally intentionally leave up their little shot
chart things for the media to see. I mean, some
of these dudes shoot an insane percentage, like like like
their little shot chart things come on. You know, they
had a warm up session where like the team shot
like seventy eight percent from three. Now, I know nobody's
guarding you, but seventy eight percent when guys are like,
(20:20):
you know, some people may be like half doing it,
and what that's still pretty good for an entire team run.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Yeah, that's not an accident. They left that up for
you guys to see the media. If the percentage have
been bad, it had been just it would not have
been up there. They put that up there. They want
you to see how good of a shooting team they've
got this year.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
And by the way, today the UH today is Pro Day.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Now here's an interesting thing about again, difference in the
way people do stuff.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
If you remember when col did Pro Day, there was
a lot of.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Like like the stuff that happens in a combine, right,
like they would do the sprinting and jumping and the
three apparently they're doing all that this afternoon. So at
five point thirty today on the computer, when pro Day
is on the computer, they're gonna have like a real practice,
like you were going to be able to watch an
actual practice of Kentucky at five thirty. I don't know
(21:09):
how many of our fans realize that's happening today at
five thirty, but if you get on the computer on
the ESPN plus Drew, you can see that. I think
that's kind of cool. I wish it was on something
that was easier, more easily accessible for people, but you'll
be able to watch a live practice. I'm gonna go
just because I you know, that was when I discovered
how much Mario liked Ansley all the Noor last year.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Somebody was sitting there together.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
I'm gonna do that as well.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
And I hope they have a Goose and Dick Gabriel
on this one. In the past, when ESPN would have it,
I felt like we just watched a tight shot of
Seth Greenberg or whoever's there talking whole time, but really
it was like two hours of talking. I hope that
they actually show us some stuff this time, and with
it being a little more locally produced. I think they will.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
I think they will too, But there's a couple.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Of those that year. It's like you're like trying to
look in the background to see what the actual But.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
You got the sense, like I did, that he is
supremely confident, right.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Yeah, And I agree that he got to SEC play
last year and was like, oh, my model isn't really
equipped for this, and he went and fixed a lot
of things.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Now. I don't think they're gonna shoot as well, but
I think you're gonna see a lot more at it.
I mean, you I loved that team last year, but
you can just stand next to these dudes and see
the difference in athleticism. You can just I mean you
can just stand there. You can see like this is
a fast, a faster team, a team that can jump high,
a team that's quicker. I mean you can just see
(22:29):
it just standing.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Next to physically more mature and jade quaintans.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I think I thought he was like a stick man. No,
that is a lottery pick. A lottery pick that U well,
we talked about anime and.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
He's so nice. He's his voice doesn't fit his appearance
and he's just so.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
It's like talking to a little I completely saw his
appearance and thought he'd be one. He's the nicest dude
in the world. Yeah, I'm a big Jaden Quaintan's guy.
All right, we'll take your cause for me.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Come back. It's SKSR. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.
He'll make them pay.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Here's Matt Joe.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Walker back Tucky Sports Radio. Here at KS bar and grill.
I'm going the phones A five, nine, two eight, twenty
two eighty seven. Got a couple open lines. I want
to hear what you all think about about stoops, about
the basketball program. Let's quickly go through what I made
it a point to interview all the new guys, uh
that were transfers. Here's what they said. First of all,
Jaylen Lowe. I asked all of them, what's something you
(23:32):
like outside of basketball? Jayleen Lowe's answer was Spider Man,
and he said specifically Andrew Garfield.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Spider Man.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
He doesn't want Toby Maguire, he wants Andrew Garfield. Do
you agree with him on Spider Man?
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Sure, I'm trying to think of what other Spider Man
options there are, but I guess Garfield was a good one.
That's probably the last I've seen.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I didn't see the Andrew Garfield Spider Man, but I
did see Toby McGuire Spider Man, so I gota vote
for him.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Maybe he'll play like Spider Man a little bit.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Had an interesting answer Spider Man. Then I went over
to Uh to Jadan Quaintan's. He said his interest is
We were talked about chess. He named a move for
his chess. It was like the Guccio something. And then
he said he liked anime, which is the one form
of entertainment I do not understand. So I said to him,
give me an intro to anime, and he said something
(24:22):
called Death Note. I look last night. Death Note is
on Netflix. It is thirty seven episodes. That's a lot,
but that's only one season. So man, they put out
a lot of episodes. I'm going to watch at least
the first couple of episodes of Death Note to try
to figure out Shannon, are you in with me on
the Death Note anime?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
No, but you can watch it and report back to me, and.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
You're gonna watch it with Oh?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Okay, But I'm gonna try four Jadan quaints. If he
can come here and play, I can watch one.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Episode of Death.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
I'll try a little death note with him. I years
ago tried to get into dragonball Z. It didn't didn't stick,
but I gave it an effort. Yeah, so you know
I'm willing to try again.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Then I went to Cam Williams. He said he was
a big gamer. He and rhyses Potter were arguing over
who was the best at two K but they play videos.
And I said to Cam Williams, I was like, hey man,
you ought to challenge the Big Blue Nation to an
NBA two K online battle. And he told me he's
going to do that before the season starts. So for
those of you that play NBA two K, maybe you
(25:23):
watch Cam Williams.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
You can go and go one on one with him.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
A guy we don't talk a whole lot about, but
like everybody else talks about him, like the guy. I
think he's gonna surprise a lot of people this year.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Mohammed Diabate is the first player in the history of
UK basketball that I have interviewed at a media day
to bring up my Angelou. That has never happened I'm
sure there were others that were wanted to, but he
was the first one. I said, what is something people
don't know about you? And he said, I'm a poet.
So I suggested he should have the nickname the poet.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
We can you start calling that?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
And he said he's gonna go. I think Pope had
told him you need to be mo to vasion. That's
a terrible one.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
Already have one motivated on campus. We can't have all
that motivation. It's too much motive.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
The poet's a great nigga is And I said, who's
your favorite poet? And he said, I gotta go way back.
So when he said way back, I'm thinking he's gonna
say Walt Whitman or something. He says, my Angelou, My Angelou.
Like read at Clinton's inauguration you were talking about feeling old.
I'm gonna go way back. I'm gonna go to my Angelou,
who I think died like five years ago.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
But that that interview you do with him, it's just
it's so refreshing. You know, just so many times you
get these kids, they have trouble to be making sentences sometime.
And he's very highly intellectual into poetry and.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Yeah, very smart. We yell all of them.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
Edgar Allen Moe, I like that. Edgar Allan Moe is
a great run through some of my head. That's that's good,
thank you, Even if no one else calls him that.
I think Edgar Allen Moe is a really good nice
big brains always took. Do you know who Edgar poet is?
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Mario? There you go.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
See, that's the problem with the name is that the
jokes are getting too old. You and I may be
the only ones that laugh at it. And then Yellovich
from Croatia, Uh says he plays Yu gi oh Shandon.
Is it a good sign that our big man from
Croatia plays yu gi oh?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
No, that sounds very soft to me.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
But as long as he can score and he can block,
you know, I don't really care what he plays.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
In his spirit tear, he also told us why Big
Z got sick last year from food You you have the.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Score, Yeah, and Cal always said big Z's got buzzard luck.
Uh struggling with the American food. Remember big Z kept
missing games for stomach issues, a lot of them. Yeah,
And they would never spill the beans on what Big
Z was eating. Well, andre Yelovich.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Told us yesterday. What did he say?
Speaker 7 (27:36):
He tied, big Z gave him advice. Apparently big Z,
when he first got here, ate Papa John's pizza every
day for two weeks, and that's what made him sick.
So his advice to Yellovich come into Lexington to play
for the Cats was don'tat Papa John's for two weeks.
Papa John's every day for two Well, they have that
(27:57):
one literally right outside the lodge. I mean you could
throw a ball and hit it from the lodge. So
I guess big Z found his pizza. He loved better ingredients,
better pizza, but he ate it every day for two weeks.
So that was the buzzard's luck that big Z had.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
That'll do it to you, Ryan, You've got a bary
or die.
Speaker 7 (28:12):
That a lot of cheese that's said. That's sad.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
The man has all that access to the proper diet
in the lodge. It's gonna walk across the parking ny
Papa John's every day for two weeks.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Also, like that Yellowvinch, you know, asking for advice, he
could have told him anything, but his big advice was don'
eat pizza for two weeks.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
I did ask.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
I was a little worried about Yellovich when I said,
what's your favorite food native Croatia? And he said lasagnya
And I said, well, I don't I don't know if
that's native.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Uh drew to Croatia actually, but that's okay.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
We can find him some lasagna around here.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yeah, where is where is the best lasagna in last
I mean some last night actually in my fridge. Fazoli's
is not the best lazagnia.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I'm sorry, what what is it besides Drew's house?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Since we can't all go there, you all can go there,
I would.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Say, I've had it. Caseppes is really good, Okay.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
I could see that it's aw X sponsors. The pre
show shut them out.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
But I did like a conversation with him about the
Yu gi Oh card. You could tell. I mean, he
just plays it. He's very serious about it.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
This is so, this is a team of dorks. I
just want to be clear, like, this is a team
of dorks. I love dorks. You are talking to a dork.
But we have Yu gi Oh, anime, poetry, chess, chess.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
This is a team. We're a team of dorks. Could
it just be an athletic dorks.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
But could it be that this is just the generation
like Duke had the TikToker. Yeah, that was that seemed
a little little, you know not.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Can you imagine Marcus Cousins saying, I play I watch anime.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
His favorite poet was Kodak Black.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
I think the.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Closest thing we had to this was Willie cally Stein.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Brandon Knight read Shakespeare. That's true that he would have been
a great Pope player. He would have been playing chess
in Pope's office.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Brandon Knight would have been Mark. Pope and Brandon Knight
would have really hit it off. That's exactly right. Now,
who's up first, Jackie, Jackie, go ahead, Jackie.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
Good morning everybody. I was he see the other night,
And I'm not the least bit surprised that these young
men are standing out in front of people. Coach books
get a little breakout session and they are literally graded
on how they interact with each other. Oh really, and
if they're not shown yeah, so if they're not shown
enthusiasm on the floor, they're not going to get any points.
(30:38):
But let's say oh Way has a three pointer and
Jason Lowe runs up in high fives and that's worth
two points, or if somebody looks at him in points,
that's worth one point.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
So they are encouraging.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Yeah, players get scored based on how much they encourage
each other, and if they.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
Are then Coach Books did a great job. And he
did this at Baylor evidently, and he said this is
something the NBA also looks at. And before the event
really got started, Coach Pope had each player and it
was mostly a group of women say something that they
loved about their mother. Half of us were crying before
it was over. I mean, these are he he recruits
(31:21):
that certain personality, but then he helps to mold them
to be better. And it was the real deal. But
they have a guy that watches all the practice tapes
in all the games, one guy, and he ranks them
on their team support.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
And I want to know that, well, Jackie, thank you
very much.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Apparently we appreciate the call. We grade our players on enthusiasm.
I can see it though. I mean, we're gonna like
we're going to have a Pope archetype of player. I
can just tell. I mean, I'm just talking personality, not
even like on the floor we're going to have that.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
I think it's clear.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Well, he's even said there's so many times we don't
even know where he's gone into a recruitment and they've
just mutually walked away.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Well what was the kid, the kid from Georgia? Yeah,
last year, what was the point guard? What was his name?
Speaker 5 (32:12):
What was it?
Speaker 7 (32:13):
Salas Dimrie Dimery?
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Yeah, so he uh he Pope went to his house.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
That's the one where he's like, what are you having
for dinner?
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Off?
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Come now or yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Pope went to his house and then when he left
just said, yeah, I don't know if this will be
good for us, which you know, I don't know. I'm
not saying anything bad happened, but Pope just decided after
going to dinner in his house.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
I just don't think we're we are a fit.
Speaker 7 (32:35):
Well, so many kids will say I need fifteen shots,
or I need this, or I need this many minutes,
and it sounds like Pope's gonna be the type that,
you know, if you're not fitting into what he's the
message at Kentucky, he'll shake your hand and say, let
the next coach come in and talk to you.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I don't know if people realize by the way. Let
me just go over some schedule. Saturday is Big Blue Okay. First,
Today is pro Day so you can watch a UK
basketball practice.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Today five thirty.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Saturday is Big Blue Madness at Rupperina and an all
day fan fest.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
The next Saturday is the Blue White Game.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
The next Saturday, Purdue is coming to Rupperena, the number
one team in the country, play an exhibition basketball. Ryan
is here, folks, Like, I don't know, maybe because I
was gone, it didn't process, but I was thinking there yesterday.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
Basketball is here snuck up on me, like even Media
Day yesterday, Like where did that come from? Out of nowhere?
The fact that they played Purdue and what two and
a half weeks is amazing.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Yes, I mean we're every Saturday, just so you know,
every sat Friday or Saturday from now until Christmas there's
a basketball here. We go every Friday or Saturday from
now until Christmas. Really, I think we have one week
off between Christmas and New Year, but really every Friday
or Saturday now through hopefully April, there's basketball.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
And I know football enthusiasm isn't that high right now,
but Blue White Game is the night before he played
Texas over here that's a heck of a double better
and then produce the night before Tennessee UH plays at Crugerfield.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
So weekends, Blue White Game, Keenland Parents Weekend, and Texas.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
I hope you have your hotel.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Rooms if you're coming to Lexington, because that is going
to be one of those like this place is gonna
be absolutely insane that entire weekend a nine h twenty
to eighty seven.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Well, well, first I gotta tell you about Don Franklin.
Tell me about it. Do you drive?
Speaker 6 (34:24):
I drive occasionally?
Speaker 5 (34:25):

have to talk about Ryan. We mentioned on the pregame show.
You know you're looking at a national endorser right here.
That's right, and the big money that comes with it.
And I'm not just looking at it here, I'll look
at him anytime I bought.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Everywhere I go is big money. Ryan.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
That's next here O KSR. Welcome back Tugi Sports Radio.
All right, A couple of things. First, thank you to
the young man here who brought me the new there's
two different kinds of new Nerd gummy clusters. First of all,
Nerd gummy clusters. Stop sending me the TikTok video that
says they're made of ants. That's not true. What I
(35:26):
keep getting. I keep getting TikTok videos that somebody's like,
you know, there's little pieces of bugs in there. Stop
sending that to me.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
First of all.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Even if it is true, then I'll just eat the bugs.
I don't want to know about it. They're good bugs,
all right, It's fine. But there's two different kinds, one
of which is uh, cherry lemonade blitz. I haven't eaten
that one yet. But he gave me what's your name again,
Declan Declin. He gave me this is juicy gummy clusters.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
All right.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
If you had the gummy clusters, you thought needs more juice. Listen,
you know this is the best candy that has ever existed.
And I tried to get an endorsement because I mean it,
but they have it. But that's okay. It's the best candies.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
You're doing it for free.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
That's a fair point.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Why do I need to pay? Why they need to
pay if I'm just gonna do it for free. It's
the best. And now it's got juice in it, which
is which is good for you. We all need to
jude gross when I say it, but trust me, it's good.
And uh so, I'm very excited. I've already eaten a
couple of them. They're bigger because they've got all that juice.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
As if the nerd gummy cluster wasn't sweet enough, they
added juice to the middle of it.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
I see no problem with it.
Speaker 7 (36:33):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Also on the text machine seven seven two seven seven
four five two five for somebody writes, mad, I have
lazagna is.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
My favorite food.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
I have the definitive ranking of Lazagna's in Lexington.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
I'm very interested in Okay, defenditive ranking.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
Third place. Sutton's on Richmond Road.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
Got about that one.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
That's a good one.
Speaker 7 (36:52):
It's good spot.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
I didn't that's a I didn't know that was a place.
It's called Sutton's.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
Right in front of the Kroger shop.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
You tell the chain or is it local family Italian?
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Yeah, all right, I'm gonna have to go there some
second as ital X.
Speaker 7 (37:05):
Yeah, that's the pre show sponsor. I shouted them out, tray,
Yeah okay.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
And then they're our.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
Neighbor at iHeart downtown.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Oh that really like fancy schmancy please yeah, yeah, I'd
like to. I want to go in there. Sometimes they'd
say that's a nice little environment. And then number one,
uh giuseppees in Alan nichols Field. That's, according to this person,
the definitive ring.
Speaker 6 (37:25):
So Shannon's choice if it always didn't make.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
It, it was always did not make it.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
It's a bad list Umber four.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Audible mention bad List eight five to nine, two twenty
two eighty seven. Somebody also remind me Derek Willis played
you g oh.
Speaker 7 (37:39):
And Darren Fox loved anime. That's right, he did big.
I mean he's Swipe of the Fox I think was
his nicknames.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
And yeah, who's up next? Shannon's good to Brent. Brent,
go ahead, Brent.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
Hey, So I've got a couple of small things. First,
anime is really slow and the episodes don't fall in
normal structure, So be careful, man, you're probably gonna get bored.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
Okay, if I get bored, I'll move on.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
I still have Black Rabbit and the Task, So if
the death Note can't keep my attention, we'll move on.
Speaker 8 (38:09):
It's a really good show.
Speaker 7 (38:10):
It just it takes his time and anime is weird.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
Man.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
But my second thing, I was randomly thinking about it,
and if they had any plans to bring out soups
for madness, I'm sure they're canceled by now.
Speaker 5 (38:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
I don't think they're bringing stoops out for madness. I
don't think Ryan, that would be smart. I I you know,
I don't There's a lot of things you could do
to get the crowd excited. I don't think bringing out
stoops for madness is one of the things.
Speaker 6 (38:34):
No, you're trying to get everybody excited on their feet,
and that might do the exact opposite to bring him
out during mad That's what's kind of sad about the
football program here. It is the struggling. It's a bye
week and madness hits during the bye week. I mean,
the schedule could not be worse for the football program.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
One of the best parts of last year's madness. Remember
they turned the court into a football field and stoops
came out and they had just beat All Miss, and
he was like, oh, this is what madness is like,
I've never made it over here, gets that big round
of and then they haven't won meaningful game. It really
was the last moment because he got a huge ovation
and they had just beat Ole Miss. They had that
screen on the court that they made a football field
(39:10):
that looked awesome.
Speaker 5 (39:11):
I've completely forgotten that.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
And then it just plummeted from there because he was
a little cocky, little swaggy, a little bit of a
cow jab there in Reparena and it's just all been downhill.
What's your second thing?
Speaker 5 (39:23):
He's gone, Oh, he's gone. Okay. Did I appreciate the
call on him?
Speaker 3 (39:26):
And I think he appreciated his own call?
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Okay, gotcha hockey? I know we do a lot of
hockey on here. The hockey season starts tonight. I don't
know if people realize that. It feels like the other
one just ended, but the hockey season starts tonight. I'm
actually wearing a maple leaf shirt because they didn't get
Connor McDavid yesterday, and I feel bad for him. So
we do this every year. I don't think we've been
right one time yet. Who is going to be in
(39:51):
the Stanley Cup Finals?
Speaker 6 (39:52):
Ryan, I did correctly pick the Tampa Bay Lightning one year,
so I'm gonna pick him again this.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Year against two uh Colorado Avalanche. Well, they are in
different conferences.
Speaker 6 (40:02):
They just got lucky there.
Speaker 7 (40:03):
It was lucky, total lucky.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Yes, I was almost certain you were going to pick
a team that was not what it was in the
same conference.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
That's what I'm going with, Tampa Bay Lightning in the
Colorado Avalanche. Yes, what about you?
Speaker 6 (40:14):
Nicknames do not in the ands on a unique feature?
Speaker 5 (40:17):
There? Good?
Speaker 6 (40:20):
There aren't many nicknames that don't end in as.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
Do you know the new the team in Utah? Do
you know what they're called? No?
Speaker 7 (40:26):
Yeah, what they had decide on, didn't they?
Speaker 5 (40:28):
They know anybody?
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Anybody the Coyotes or something or No, that was Phoenix.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
They took over them. It's the mammoth, right, the mammoth,
the Utah Mammoth.
Speaker 7 (40:37):
Tall Mammoth didn't Yetti win.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
The vote, but they said no Because I love when
people have votes and then go we were just I mean,
we'll probably do that. In America soon, but like when
you have votes and then go who cares?
Speaker 5 (40:52):
All right, what about you? Uh?
Speaker 7 (40:54):
The Florida Panthers have been extremely hot row. I was
actually down there when they wanted a few years ago.
It was awesome watching the celebration. So I'm gonna say
they're back. Well, they're not gonna win, but we're gonna
be back in it. And then I'm pretty sure this
team is in the West or whatever the other conference
is called. Uh my, Nashville Predators are gonna shock the world,
(41:14):
aren't they awful?
Speaker 5 (41:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (41:16):
Oh horrible. I think they were dead last last year,
close to it. That's why we're gonna shock the world.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
That'll be a shock. So they're gonna go from dead
last to winning the whole thing.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
It's gonna be an unbelievable rebuild. That our coach, our
coach whose name it's just he's such a great coach.
He's gonna have it turned around.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Give me the Bruins, who are probably terrible.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
They are terrible, but they're gonna Boston Bruins are terrible,
and the kracking the crack are okay but not great.
So you're going Bruins.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
And cracking, how do you know they haven't played a
game yet.
Speaker 5 (41:46):
That's true.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
True, everybody's going over.
Speaker 5 (41:48):
We know one of your team.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
Gonna go with the Carolina Hurricanes again. They they're great
in the regular season struggle. They can't beat the Panthers.
That's the problem. They keep losing to the Panthers. But
I'm gonna take the Hurricanes and I'll say they'll play
the Uhmington Oilers with Connor McDavid, who's the best player,
and he re signed yesterday, took less money to stay
in Edmonton.
Speaker 6 (42:07):
Wayne still played for this Dwayne Gretzky.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
Is sixty years old. So no but Edmonton and the
Carolina Hurricanes. We had our picks. I think the year
we won it, Carolina we beat Edmonton in the finals,
so I think we're gonna do it again this year.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
We'll take a break come back. I renumber two Ksorry

Welcome everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Tuesday, October the seventh.
I'm Matt Jones here on a rainy, nasty, nasty day
in Lexington, Kentucky. But we are at Chaos Bar and
Grill and got a bunch of folks here this morning. Ready, go,
I haven't been here in three and a half weeks,
but I'm here today and be here tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
On Thursday.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
You can shout the Clarks Puppy Shop full line eight

Ay Vision Auto Glass X Machine is seven seven two

sponsored by the TJ. Smith Office called Tj'll make them pay,
all right. So we got folks here uh from I
think Mount sterling E Town, Kingsport, uh in all parts
around the state, Kingsports, Tennessee. That's a Kentucky and Tennessee fan.
(01:18):
You know what they said to me, Ryan, what they
say one.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Of them is Kentucky fan. Wheams a Tennessee fan.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
The Kentucky fan gets so nervous during games, can't watch it,
which I've been there, I know what that's like.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
Familiar.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
But when they go.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
To Kentucky Tennessee football games at Newlands Stadium, they take
two cars so he can leave. Ryan if Kentucky's losing,
which is almost every single time.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
At the Brave Man sitting there married doing some of
the big Orange. Shouldn't have you tuned Tobaco in her mouth?
Speaker 5 (01:43):
What is it with you in the chewing? I knew
he's gonna say that.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
He has like six things that come out in those
situations are rare.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
You shut up?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Do you like the do you like the having to
go in separate cars?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I do?
Speaker 7 (01:58):
I love that actually parked next to them here, and
they have a license plate that's divided. It's a half
Tennessee ago half UK. So I didn't even know we
were gonna bring this up, but I know exactly which
vehicles there's outside.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
So half Tennessee, half Kentucky license plate. That's uh, well,
that's that's devotion. Love conquers all, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
It is a terrible day outside, absolutely terrible.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
But that's all right because I hear you all had
great weather while I was gone. Drew, and I did
media day yesterday. We'll talk about that in.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
A minute, Drew. Overall, this team very.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Likable guys, maybe the most talkative guys that I can.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Remember in a long, long time.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
Yeah, and that's the nature of the teams just getting
a little older. You know, we loved a lot of
Cows players, but they were freshmen and weren't ready to
have cameras put in their face. You know, we're getting
used to one two sentence answers, which is fine, you know,
not a huge deal. But now we're getting all these
old heads. You ask them a question and it's five
minutes for it's time to ask another one. They're very,
very fun to talk to.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Well, even last year.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
I mean, those guys were all older and nice, but
they just kind of tended to be quiet.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
This group is a talkative group.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
With I mean interest ranging from chess to anime to
poetry to you gi. You can tell Mark Pope is
he recruits a different kind of guy, like I mean literally,
I asked all of them, give me something interesting about
you outside of basketball, and the answers were anime, spider Man,
(03:25):
Yu gi oh, poetry, and chess. That is not what
you think of when you think of a basketball team, right,
But they were all But that's unique, the.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
Very mature bunch. They're all probably if curfews eleven, they're
all probably home by nine thirty sleep. It's just just
a different, different game these days. But it being much
older across the board, and this group seems as fun
as any we've had a long time.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
It's good to see you. How are things in your world?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Can we talk about you guys yesterday on the show
if you want? Well, you guys were funny. It's like
you're at the end of a week long road trip.
You were slap happy, tired, and it was just that
the thought of the two you're sitting in momortal costing
with nobody else in there, you guys just well, I.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Mean they told us the night before, by the way,
we're not gonna be able to get you anybody. And
so it was like, well, okay, your media day with
no basketball media day, but there's nobody there, so you know,
you make the best of it. Drew and you and
I had been up talking literally to each other eight
hours before.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
It just took a couple hours nap and just turned
the MIC's back on it. Yeah, it helped that Billy
was wearing khaki pants, keeping us professional.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Billy literally is gonna cost us darn Ruby. He was
sitting there walking with his khaki pants. There's no I mean,
if Darren Ripby Jr. Doesn't come, it's Billy our sports.
Because I looked at him, he had a look of
awe in his face at the building, the coaches, and
then the moment he saw Billy's khaki pants, he was like,
oh oh.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
He thought he was in North Carolina.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
This is not what we're supposed to do.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
It was also fun. I love awkward moments, like the
more awkward and uncomfortable. I love to live in that.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I'm weird, you like that.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
So being critical of the athletic department when I know
a lot of them listen and we're just on the
other side of the wall. That was kind of fun too.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
It was the tough, I mean stuff because you had
to talk about the football situation. Speaking of the football situation,
I've spoken about it multiple times, so is rue you
have not because you have not been on the broadcast
since we lost to Georgia. Where are you on all
things UK football right now?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Really?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
From the Georgia game, I saw a big step up
and Cutter Bowlly. I mean, I know there's a lot
of negative to talk about, but I saw a big
step up in him going against one of the best
teams in the country, and you seem to like just
grow as the game went on. Now, defense is a
different story. I thought our defense was gonna be elite
this year and they could not get off the field
on third down. Just could not get off the field
on third.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
What about overall, though, Like, what about overall with the
you know, your guy cut Man had reports that got refuted.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
What do you think about overall with the program?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
I kind of agree with you guys said yesterday, if
they go three and nine, you have to make a
decision four and nine, probably four and eight, But then
if you get to five and seven, then it gets
a little dicey. And where the program is right now,
it's not It's not going forward in two and a
half years. I mean, this is not just a one
year thing. This has been coming for the last three seasons.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
One are there.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
There's what two and fourteen in their last sixteen sec games.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
It's not good.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
That's crazy.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Yeah, that's haven't had two touchdowns in twelve games.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
So this is not just a one off. This is
the program issue.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
So yet we we nobody lost their job yesterday, correct,
So right now everybody is still employed. I'm assuming. I mean,
don't they do football practice in the morning. So if anything.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Yeah, by the way, we didn't get touched this stoop's
not doing his call in show last night, you know,
I mean I was critical of cal.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I'm still we repeating, are we repeating that?
Speaker 7 (06:56):
You gotta do the you gotta read the room. I
know it's a bye week, and you've done this in
the past. You even had Bush Hampden do it a
few weeks ago during that by week. But you got
to look around at the situation and know that people
don't want to hear it.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
So this is like repeating.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I mean, the Calipari formula is being repeated, detached, loses
contact with fans, retreats. I mean, we're basically getting the
Caliperi formula again. And we saw how it worked out,
and cal Perry had had a lot more success than Stoops.
It's just this is a terrible way to do.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
It, Ryan, It is too early familiar. We saw the
Cali Payer's legacy kind of tarnish his last couple years,
and now my heart hurts because we're seeing the exact
same thing with Stoops right now.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
It is the exact same thing. And I don't know.
I just don't know how it switches.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
And I think the fact that we had basketball media
day afterwards honestly was like, oh, this is how it's
supposed to me. Okay, let's go back to football media day.
That was the first time we'd seen any of the players,
first time I had heard of most of the players.
We had a great interview with shiaje Pete. That was
(08:04):
good yesterday though.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Two things.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
First of all, what an engaging group this This fan
base is gonna fall in love with his basketball team.
I mean, they're gonna everybody's gonna like Jalen Lowe such
a likable kid. Jaden Quainton's such a likable kid. Muhammed
Diabate kind of feels older than he is, but seems
smart and mature. Cam Williams is kind of a wild card.
(08:27):
I think he's gonna be funny to see. I think
he's gonna end up saying something crazy some game, and
that's gonna be exciting. Like all, I just thought, man,
this this fan base is gonna love this group. And
then we find out when it's over that UK is
doing something that I can't believe they're doing, and congrats
to them.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I've been preaching about this stuff for years.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Saturday, before Big Blue Madness, they are going to have
a fan fest that is free. You do not have
to pay, you do not have to donate to nil
but down there at Raparina from noon to four thirty
the men basketball team Pope, the women's basketball team Kenny Brooks,
free autographs, meet the get to meet the players, hopefully
(09:09):
meet the coaches, depending on how many people come. Free
for the people who can't get into Big Blue Madness.
I mean, like I've been saying, stuff like this for
years and they're doing it, and then you sit there
and think about what football did, Like basketball didn't even
need to do that, and they're doing it, and then
football we had nothing like that.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
It's awesome that they're doing that, especially at a time
now where every direction you look, somebody's got their hand
out as that's exactly right asking for another dollar. For
them to have a free event like that, that's just awesome, awesome,
awesome for them.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
To I really am.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I am very critical and have been critical of the
fan engagement part of UK athletics, and I've talked about
how much I didn't think was connected to the average fan.
This is they deserve all the price for this. I
hope people go. I mean, one of the things is
if we're going to say they need to do stuff
like this, people need to go when they do it.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
But I think they will. And you know, this.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Is a great ans wherever you are in the state,
Like this is a time you don't have to spend
a dollar beyond the gas money to get here, and
you can actually meet your basketball team and you can
potentially meet your coach. I don't know how you can
be I don't know how you can mean anything but
happy about that?
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Or on the show you said something about reading the room.
Basketball team reads the room? Do they really they get it?
That's fan engagement. It's exactly what the football team should
have done this year, of all years, with the apathy
setting in, they should have done something like this.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Why are you sitting on the floor?
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (10:29):
What's he doing over there?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Okay? What if we talked to Mario about a high angle?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I always say to you shoot from either eye level
or high angle. And you're down on the floor. You're literally,
first of all, you're sitting on the floor, and you
are you trying to give us triple chins?
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Like? What is your goal?
Speaker 7 (10:47):
I'm worried about a basic instinct situation here, he's so low.
Keep it above the table, Mario.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
It's the first time I've ever seen you sit on
the floor.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
But yes, so if I'm nine, twenty two eighty seven,
have you met one person since the game Saturday that's
excited about potentially running it back next year with this
coach's death?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
No?
Speaker 7 (11:14):
No, no, not at all, And.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Like I said, it breaks my heart. I mean I
love coach duopsy. Dude, we've ever had here? I agree,
it's just kind of sad to see the way it's
kind of falling apart here right now.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Outside of the people that are just ugly and nasty online,
I mostly hear that, like I hate that I'm this
way because he did so much, but it just has
to happen. It's like they're sad saying it, but they're
saying it.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
It's it's like a it's like a breakup.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Well, okay, so everybody breaks up in divorces in different ways,
right I know people who when they break up, like
you have to hide.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
The furniture because they're throwing it at each other.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
But oftentimes, at least in my life, the breakups have
just been like we have to do this, but it's sad,
like like like it's sad, like it's not gonna work,
but it's sad.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
I kind of feel like that's what this is.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
It's a relationship that I don't think there's any animosity
at least in most crowds, but it's sad. And I
think unless you win three games outside of Tennessee Tech
the rest of the year, it's gonna be one of
those It's not you, it's me, but we have to
do it right, Yep.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
I think I said this off the air yesterday, not
on the air. But I think the best case scenario,
I'm assuming they don't get an sec loss is fire
up the victory cigar in Louisville's locker room one last
time and win the Governor's cup, and then that's the
that's the the send off. You beat Vince, you walk
down Morels down we all get to we won't be there.
(12:43):
But we also know Stoops a lot.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
He's not walking, That's true.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
I mean the thing, the thing, this is where personality
comes in, right, So the difference between Cow and Stoops
is Cow was gonna go out defiantly right.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
He wont to be one of those I'm breaking up
with you, right. That was kin, don't fire me, you
don't get to fire me. I'm breaking up with you.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
And that's why it worked out so well that Arkansas
came because he got to walk away and said, I
broke up with you.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Stupis is not gonna be like that.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I don't think he's gonna I don't think he's gonna
have any like vengeance. But I do think there's gonna
be a sense of Stoops very much takes the view
of all right, fine, but I'm getting my money, like
like that's gonna be his view.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Do you agree with that?
Speaker 7 (13:34):
Yeah, I mean we joke, abut I always say it's
back to work. But he's just gonna keep showing up
at work until there's Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
No, I think you're right. He's gonna be like George Costanta.
He's just gonna keep coming into the like this is
my job, this is and we agreed, you're gonna give
me this money. And I think that's its own kind
of difficulty.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
All the pressure about the future of this program is
shifted from Mark Stoops, I think now to Mitch Barnhart.
What is he gonna do?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
What will he do?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Mitch Barnhart didn't show it, I mean not no appearance yesterday.
And there have been media days where he's there. There's
been media days where he's not. So I'm not saying
that that's but I didn't even see his face in
the building yesterday. Usually, at least in me, like he'll
just sit and watch the press conference at least to
see his coach, Like he'll he'll come in there and
just want to see. How Mark didn't seem yesterday, And
(14:19):
I don't think you're gonna see him at all. I mean,
I Mitch talks to the media, what twice a year, maybe.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Once a year.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
He'll do the football media day. It's usually the one
we know is on the schedule, but you.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Know, I mean that's I've always thought that was poor
form because you know, or he'll do an official one
with the JAMI broadcast, but no one's gonna ask a
tough question in that scenario.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
I think Mitch probably ought to talk now. He can't.
There's not a lot he can say right now.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I get it, but people, you know, there's a lot
happening in college sports, and it would be nice to
hear what his take is on some of it.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Right I can only imagine what his inbox looks like
recently from what's been going on over here at the
football stadium too. So he knows. We know, we don't
think he engages with the fans much, but he knows
right now how mad people are he does.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Well, we're gonna talk a little basketball media day. I
thought there were some interesting things that came up. Mark
Pope seems well, we'll talk about Mark Pope. I don't
know him well, but I think I could read some
of his comments yesterday, and I think he's pretty excited
about this group. We'll take a break, be right back
to Kentucky Sports Radio. My Man Conway twenty.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
In the house. Hey, Shannon, you know playing.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Some Conway on the show.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
That's true, Well, because it creeps everybody out when we
play it. This is one of his ones that's not
really creepy. I don't think that's my job. Yeah, yeah,
I think that one's pretty normal. It's about like his
dad or whatever. Right h eight twenty two eighty seven,
we were back at ks Bar since I've been gone.
You know, I didn't I didn't have a phone. I
came home to all these messages on the text machine,
(15:50):
lots of really good messages.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
You know.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
When we were open, before we took our summer break,
we sold like wings to burgers was like three to one,
like seventy five percent wings twenty five percent burgers. Now
it's fifty to fifty. And the burgers just keep growing,
like people will seem to like people. The wings are
the same, so like there, but the the burgers are
taking over. Steve Grissom no che lind of Farms. Shout
(16:16):
out y'all, y'all did it and our new smash burger technique.
So try now, I do need to apologize to people.
Person here we go, Okay, I think it's very important
when you're in charge of something to acknowledge when we
when we had a mistake and it's going to be rectified.
But there are paper straws right now. Boo boop at
(16:36):
kspar they sent us the wrong ones.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I know, I know a lot of people are like,
I'm Matt, you dirty liberal. My liberal just stops at straws.
I'm I am a maga straw person. So we they
made a mistakes, so we have to run through these
and then we'll be back to the plastic ones. But
I don't want y'all to think like I've gotten I'm
hippie liberal, but not on this plastic straws. So we
(17:02):
would that was one screw up, just so people know
it's not. This will be a temporary thing. Hopefully we'll
be through the paper ones by the by big blue
madness aday.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
I saw last Wednesday morning is when I first saw
the first paper straw in here and immediately went to
Monique and was like, we cannot have this. We have
to get all these out of the building before he
lands from South Africa. So just now, when I went
to get my drink, I casually knocked one of the
boxes into the trash can. Just a little put on
the spill sheet.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Whoops.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Hopefully my big blue madness will be through with those.
We could get to the back to the plastic ones.
Like I said, plastic, I know it's not great, but
paper straws are just a non non gop for it.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
It's almost a blessing in disguise that you didn't have
your phone, because if you'd.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Have known that, no, I would I wouldn't have enjoyed
the drift.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Yeah, I would have spent all sixteen hours on the
flight going where do we have plastic straws somewhere?
Speaker 5 (17:48):
All right, let's talk about the team for a second.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
When Cow was here, I used to kind of be
I thought like a cow whisperer ride I could I
could hear his comments, and I could tell how good
he really thought the team was. There were time, I mean,
he would always sa I love this group, but especially
in the preseason. You could see when you when he
thought he was sitting on a ferrari and when he
thought he was sitting on a fixer upper.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
You know, Camri right, like.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
He knew and generally speaking, he was right, with a
couple of exceptions. I'm not a pope whisperer yet I can't.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I can't read everything he says, but I can tell
you this. I was there last year, I'm there this year,
and it's clear he thinks his team's a.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Lot better than last year. Like you can just tell.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
I mean, you can tell he thinks I have got
a group, and he says it in so many words,
but you can also just see it in his actions.
Like a couple of people brought up things like are
you worried about this? And he was just like, no, no,
I'm not worried. I think Ryan he thinks he's got
a chance to have a powerhouse squad.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Just listening to him yesterday, it's almost like he looked
at what was missing from last year's team, the weaknesses
of last year's team, and then went and got somebody
to fill those voids on this team. Like there was
no missing link at all on this year's team.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
He says, like Drew, last year, we were kind of
able to scheme our way defensively to hide some of
our problems. And then he was like, and then all
of a sudden that went away when we played more.
He basically was like, when we got to the SEC,
they were too athletic for us. And I think he
took the view of I ain't letting that happen again,
and I think he thinks he's got a lot of
guys who can do play defense.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Definitely. You mentioned a camera that was my first car.
Cameras are great throughout Law SCHOOLTT, Georgetown and Toyota than uh.
To your point about them him being a little more excited,
I asked O way directly. I was like, you were
on both of Pope's teams at this point, you did,
what do you think? And he was like, we're a
lot more competitive right now than we were last year.
(19:41):
Not his exact words, but he was kind of saying
they were a little bit walk on eggshells. There are
a lot of guys that were older, they didn't where
they were getting into. Pope was new. I don't want
to say they were timid, but he's say it wasn't
like we were just showing up and going to war
every morning. That's kind of what he said, this group's
like the moment they got on campus, it was just
every single practice they're going out.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I think they intentionally intentionally leave up their little shot
chart things for the media to see. I mean, some
of these dudes shoot an insane percentage, like like like
their little shot chart things come on. You know, they
had a warm up session where like the team shot
like seventy eight percent from three. Now, I know nobody's
guarding you, but seventy eight percent when guys are like,
(20:20):
you know, some people may be like half doing it,
and what that's still pretty good for an entire team run.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Yeah, that's not an accident. They left that up for
you guys to see the media. If the percentage have
been bad, it had been just it would not have
been up there. They put that up there. They want
you to see how good of a shooting team they've
got this year.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
And by the way, today the UH today is Pro Day.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Now here's an interesting thing about again, difference in the
way people do stuff.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
If you remember when col did Pro Day, there was
a lot of.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Like like the stuff that happens in a combine, right,
like they would do the sprinting and jumping and the
three apparently they're doing all that this afternoon. So at
five point thirty today on the computer, when pro Day
is on the computer, they're gonna have like a real practice,
like you were going to be able to watch an
actual practice of Kentucky at five thirty. I don't know
(21:09):
how many of our fans realize that's happening today at
five thirty, but if you get on the computer on
the ESPN plus Drew, you can see that. I think
that's kind of cool. I wish it was on something
that was easier, more easily accessible for people, but you'll
be able to watch a live practice. I'm gonna go
just because I you know, that was when I discovered
how much Mario liked Ansley all the Noor last year.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Somebody was sitting there together.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
I'm gonna do that as well.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
And I hope they have a Goose and Dick Gabriel
on this one. In the past, when ESPN would have it,
I felt like we just watched a tight shot of
Seth Greenberg or whoever's there talking whole time, but really
it was like two hours of talking. I hope that
they actually show us some stuff this time, and with
it being a little more locally produced. I think they will.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
I think they will too, But there's a couple.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Of those that year. It's like you're like trying to
look in the background to see what the actual But.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
You got the sense, like I did, that he is
supremely confident, right.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
Yeah, And I agree that he got to SEC play
last year and was like, oh, my model isn't really
equipped for this, and he went and fixed a lot
of things.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Now. I don't think they're gonna shoot as well, but
I think you're gonna see a lot more at it.
I mean, you I loved that team last year, but
you can just stand next to these dudes and see
the difference in athleticism. You can just I mean you
can just stand there. You can see like this is
a fast, a faster team, a team that can jump high,
a team that's quicker. I mean you can just see
(22:29):
it just standing.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Next to physically more mature and jade quaintans.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I think I thought he was like a stick man. No,
that is a lottery pick. A lottery pick that U well,
we talked about anime and.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
He's so nice. He's his voice doesn't fit his appearance
and he's just so.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
It's like talking to a little I completely saw his
appearance and thought he'd be one. He's the nicest dude
in the world. Yeah, I'm a big Jaden Quaintan's guy.
All right, we'll take your cause for me.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Come back. It's SKSR. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.
He'll make them pay.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Here's Matt Joe.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Walker back Tucky Sports Radio. Here at KS bar and grill.
I'm going the phones A five, nine, two eight, twenty
two eighty seven. Got a couple open lines. I want
to hear what you all think about about stoops, about
the basketball program. Let's quickly go through what I made
it a point to interview all the new guys, uh
that were transfers. Here's what they said. First of all,
Jaylen Lowe. I asked all of them, what's something you
(23:32):
like outside of basketball? Jayleen Lowe's answer was Spider Man,
and he said specifically Andrew Garfield.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Spider Man.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
He doesn't want Toby Maguire, he wants Andrew Garfield. Do
you agree with him on Spider Man?
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Sure, I'm trying to think of what other Spider Man
options there are, but I guess Garfield was a good one.
That's probably the last I've seen.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I didn't see the Andrew Garfield Spider Man, but I
did see Toby McGuire Spider Man, so I gota vote
for him.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Maybe he'll play like Spider Man a little bit.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Had an interesting answer Spider Man. Then I went over
to Uh to Jadan Quaintan's. He said his interest is
We were talked about chess. He named a move for
his chess. It was like the Guccio something. And then
he said he liked anime, which is the one form
of entertainment I do not understand. So I said to him,
give me an intro to anime, and he said something
(24:22):
called Death Note. I look last night. Death Note is
on Netflix. It is thirty seven episodes. That's a lot,
but that's only one season. So man, they put out
a lot of episodes. I'm going to watch at least
the first couple of episodes of Death Note to try
to figure out Shannon, are you in with me on
the Death Note anime?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
No, but you can watch it and report back to me, and.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
You're gonna watch it with Oh?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Okay, But I'm gonna try four Jadan quaints. If he
can come here and play, I can watch one.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Episode of Death.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
I'll try a little death note with him. I years
ago tried to get into dragonball Z. It didn't didn't stick,
but I gave it an effort. Yeah, so you know
I'm willing to try again.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Then I went to Cam Williams. He said he was
a big gamer. He and rhyses Potter were arguing over
who was the best at two K but they play videos.
And I said to Cam Williams, I was like, hey man,
you ought to challenge the Big Blue Nation to an
NBA two K online battle. And he told me he's
going to do that before the season starts. So for
those of you that play NBA two K, maybe you
(25:23):
watch Cam Williams.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
You can go and go one on one with him.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
A guy we don't talk a whole lot about, but
like everybody else talks about him, like the guy. I
think he's gonna surprise a lot of people this year.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Mohammed Diabate is the first player in the history of
UK basketball that I have interviewed at a media day
to bring up my Angelou. That has never happened I'm
sure there were others that were wanted to, but he
was the first one. I said, what is something people
don't know about you? And he said, I'm a poet.
So I suggested he should have the nickname the poet.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
We can you start calling that?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
And he said he's gonna go. I think Pope had
told him you need to be mo to vasion. That's
a terrible one.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
Already have one motivated on campus. We can't have all
that motivation. It's too much motive.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
The poet's a great nigga is And I said, who's
your favorite poet? And he said, I gotta go way back.
So when he said way back, I'm thinking he's gonna
say Walt Whitman or something. He says, my Angelou, My Angelou.
Like read at Clinton's inauguration you were talking about feeling old.
I'm gonna go way back. I'm gonna go to my Angelou,
who I think died like five years ago.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
But that that interview you do with him, it's just
it's so refreshing. You know, just so many times you
get these kids, they have trouble to be making sentences sometime.
And he's very highly intellectual into poetry and.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Yeah, very smart. We yell all of them.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
Edgar Allen Moe, I like that. Edgar Allan Moe is
a great run through some of my head. That's that's good,
thank you, Even if no one else calls him that.
I think Edgar Allen Moe is a really good nice
big brains always took. Do you know who Edgar poet is?
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Mario? There you go.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
See, that's the problem with the name is that the
jokes are getting too old. You and I may be
the only ones that laugh at it. And then Yellovich
from Croatia, Uh says he plays Yu gi oh Shandon.
Is it a good sign that our big man from
Croatia plays yu gi oh?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
No, that sounds very soft to me.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
But as long as he can score and he can block,
you know, I don't really care what he plays.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
In his spirit tear, he also told us why Big
Z got sick last year from food You you have the.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Score, Yeah, and Cal always said big Z's got buzzard luck.
Uh struggling with the American food. Remember big Z kept
missing games for stomach issues, a lot of them. Yeah,
And they would never spill the beans on what Big
Z was eating. Well, andre Yelovich.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Told us yesterday. What did he say?
Speaker 7 (27:36):
He tied, big Z gave him advice. Apparently big Z,
when he first got here, ate Papa John's pizza every
day for two weeks, and that's what made him sick.
So his advice to Yellovich come into Lexington to play
for the Cats was don'tat Papa John's for two weeks.
Papa John's every day for two Well, they have that
(27:57):
one literally right outside the lodge. I mean you could
throw a ball and hit it from the lodge. So
I guess big Z found his pizza. He loved better ingredients,
better pizza, but he ate it every day for two weeks.
So that was the buzzard's luck that big Z had.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
That'll do it to you, Ryan, You've got a bary
or die.
Speaker 7 (28:12):
That a lot of cheese that's said. That's sad.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
The man has all that access to the proper diet
in the lodge. It's gonna walk across the parking ny
Papa John's every day for two weeks.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Also, like that Yellowvinch, you know, asking for advice, he
could have told him anything, but his big advice was don'
eat pizza for two weeks.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
I did ask.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
I was a little worried about Yellovich when I said,
what's your favorite food native Croatia? And he said lasagnya
And I said, well, I don't I don't know if
that's native.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Uh drew to Croatia actually, but that's okay.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
We can find him some lasagna around here.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yeah, where is where is the best lasagna in last
I mean some last night actually in my fridge. Fazoli's
is not the best lazagnia.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I'm sorry, what what is it besides Drew's house?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Since we can't all go there, you all can go there,
I would.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Say, I've had it. Caseppes is really good, Okay.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
I could see that it's aw X sponsors. The pre
show shut them out.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
But I did like a conversation with him about the
Yu gi Oh card. You could tell. I mean, he
just plays it. He's very serious about it.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
This is so, this is a team of dorks. I
just want to be clear, like, this is a team
of dorks. I love dorks. You are talking to a dork.
But we have Yu gi Oh, anime, poetry, chess, chess.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
This is a team. We're a team of dorks. Could
it just be an athletic dorks.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
But could it be that this is just the generation
like Duke had the TikToker. Yeah, that was that seemed
a little little, you know not.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Can you imagine Marcus Cousins saying, I play I watch anime.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
His favorite poet was Kodak Black.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
I think the.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Closest thing we had to this was Willie cally Stein.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Brandon Knight read Shakespeare. That's true that he would have been
a great Pope player. He would have been playing chess
in Pope's office.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Brandon Knight would have been Mark. Pope and Brandon Knight
would have really hit it off. That's exactly right. Now,
who's up first, Jackie, Jackie, go ahead, Jackie.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
Good morning everybody. I was he see the other night,
And I'm not the least bit surprised that these young
men are standing out in front of people. Coach books
get a little breakout session and they are literally graded
on how they interact with each other. Oh really, and
if they're not shown yeah, so if they're not shown
enthusiasm on the floor, they're not going to get any points.
(30:38):
But let's say oh Way has a three pointer and
Jason Lowe runs up in high fives and that's worth
two points, or if somebody looks at him in points,
that's worth one point.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
So they are encouraging.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Yeah, players get scored based on how much they encourage
each other, and if they.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
Are then Coach Books did a great job. And he
did this at Baylor evidently, and he said this is
something the NBA also looks at. And before the event
really got started, Coach Pope had each player and it
was mostly a group of women say something that they
loved about their mother. Half of us were crying before
it was over. I mean, these are he he recruits
(31:21):
that certain personality, but then he helps to mold them
to be better. And it was the real deal. But
they have a guy that watches all the practice tapes
in all the games, one guy, and he ranks them
on their team support.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
And I want to know that, well, Jackie, thank you
very much.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Apparently we appreciate the call. We grade our players on enthusiasm.
I can see it though. I mean, we're gonna like
we're going to have a Pope archetype of player. I
can just tell. I mean, I'm just talking personality, not
even like on the floor we're going to have that.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
I think it's clear.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Well, he's even said there's so many times we don't
even know where he's gone into a recruitment and they've
just mutually walked away.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Well what was the kid, the kid from Georgia? Yeah,
last year, what was the point guard? What was his name?
Speaker 5 (32:12):
What was it?
Speaker 7 (32:13):
Salas Dimrie Dimery?
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Yeah, so he uh he Pope went to his house.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
That's the one where he's like, what are you having
for dinner?
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Off?
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Come now or yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Pope went to his house and then when he left
just said, yeah, I don't know if this will be
good for us, which you know, I don't know. I'm
not saying anything bad happened, but Pope just decided after
going to dinner in his house.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
I just don't think we're we are a fit.
Speaker 7 (32:35):
Well, so many kids will say I need fifteen shots,
or I need this, or I need this many minutes,
and it sounds like Pope's gonna be the type that,
you know, if you're not fitting into what he's the
message at Kentucky, he'll shake your hand and say, let
the next coach come in and talk to you.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I don't know if people realize by the way. Let
me just go over some schedule. Saturday is Big Blue Okay. First,
Today is pro Day so you can watch a UK
basketball practice.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Today five thirty.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Saturday is Big Blue Madness at Rupperina and an all
day fan fest.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
The next Saturday is the Blue White Game.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
The next Saturday, Purdue is coming to Rupperena, the number
one team in the country, play an exhibition basketball. Ryan
is here, folks, Like, I don't know, maybe because I
was gone, it didn't process, but I was thinking there yesterday.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
Basketball is here snuck up on me, like even Media
Day yesterday, Like where did that come from? Out of nowhere?
The fact that they played Purdue and what two and
a half weeks is amazing.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Yes, I mean we're every Saturday, just so you know,
every sat Friday or Saturday from now until Christmas there's
a basketball here. We go every Friday or Saturday from
now until Christmas. Really, I think we have one week
off between Christmas and New Year, but really every Friday
or Saturday now through hopefully April, there's basketball.
Speaker 7 (33:53):
And I know football enthusiasm isn't that high right now,
but Blue White Game is the night before he played
Texas over here that's a heck of a double better
and then produce the night before Tennessee UH plays at Crugerfield.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
So weekends, Blue White Game, Keenland Parents Weekend, and Texas.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
I hope you have your hotel.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Rooms if you're coming to Lexington, because that is going
to be one of those like this place is gonna
be absolutely insane that entire weekend a nine h twenty
to eighty seven.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Well, well, first I gotta tell you about Don Franklin.
Tell me about it. Do you drive?
Speaker 6 (34:24):
I drive occasionally?
Speaker 5 (34:25):

You know you're looking at a national endorser right here.
That's right, and the big money that comes with it.
And I'm not just looking at it here, I'll look
at him anytime I bought.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Everywhere I go is big money. Ryan.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
That's next here O KSR. Welcome back Tugi Sports Radio.
All right, A couple of things. First, thank you to
the young man here who brought me the new there's
two different kinds of new Nerd gummy clusters. First of all,
Nerd gummy clusters. Stop sending me the TikTok video that
says they're made of ants. That's not true. What I
(35:26):
keep getting. I keep getting TikTok videos that somebody's like,
you know, there's little pieces of bugs in there. Stop
sending that to me.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
First of all.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Even if it is true, then I'll just eat the bugs.
I don't want to know about it. They're good bugs,
all right, It's fine. But there's two different kinds, one
of which is uh, cherry lemonade blitz. I haven't eaten
that one yet. But he gave me what's your name again,
Declan Declin. He gave me this is juicy gummy clusters.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
All right.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
If you had the gummy clusters, you thought needs more juice. Listen,
you know this is the best candy that has ever existed.
And I tried to get an endorsement because I mean it,
but they have it. But that's okay. It's the best candies.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
You're doing it for free.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
That's a fair point.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Why do I need to pay? Why they need to
pay if I'm just gonna do it for free. It's
the best. And now it's got juice in it, which
is which is good for you. We all need to
jude gross when I say it, but trust me, it's good.
And uh so, I'm very excited. I've already eaten a
couple of them. They're bigger because they've got all that juice.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
As if the nerd gummy cluster wasn't sweet enough, they
added juice to the middle of it.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
I see no problem with it.
Speaker 7 (36:33):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Also on the text machine seven seven two seven seven
four five two five for somebody writes, mad, I have
lazagna is.
Speaker 5 (36:39):

I'm very interested in Okay, defenditive ranking.

Speaker 7 (37:05):
Yeah, that's the pre show sponsor. I shouted them out, tray,
Yeah okay.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
And then they're our.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
Neighbor at iHeart downtown.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Oh that really like fancy schmancy please yeah, yeah, I'd
like to. I want to go in there. Sometimes they'd
say that's a nice little environment. And then number one,
uh giuseppees in Alan nichols Field. That's, according to this person,
the definitive ring.
Speaker 6 (37:25):
So Shannon's choice if it always didn't make.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
It, it was always did not make it.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
It's a bad list Umber four.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Audible mention bad List eight five to nine, two twenty
two eighty seven. Somebody also remind me Derek Willis played
you g oh.
Speaker 7 (37:39):
And Darren Fox loved anime. That's right, he did big.
I mean he's Swipe of the Fox I think was
his nicknames.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
And yeah, who's up next? Shannon's good to Brent. Brent,
go ahead, Brent.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
Hey, So I've got a couple of small things. First,
anime is really slow and the episodes don't fall in
normal structure, So be careful, man, you're probably gonna get bored.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
Okay, if I get bored, I'll move on.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
I still have Black Rabbit and the Task, So if
the death Note can't keep my attention, we'll move on.
Speaker 8 (38:09):
It's a really good show.
Speaker 7 (38:10):
It just it takes his time and anime is weird.
Speaker 5 (38:13):
Man.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
But my second thing, I was randomly thinking about it,
and if they had any plans to bring out soups
for madness, I'm sure they're canceled by now.
Speaker 5 (38:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
I don't think they're bringing stoops out for madness. I
don't think Ryan, that would be smart. I I you know,
I don't There's a lot of things you could do
to get the crowd excited. I don't think bringing out
stoops for madness is one of the things.
Speaker 6 (38:34):
No, you're trying to get everybody excited on their feet,
and that might do the exact opposite to bring him
out during mad That's what's kind of sad about the
football program here. It is the struggling. It's a bye
week and madness hits during the bye week. I mean,
the schedule could not be worse for the football program.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
One of the best parts of last year's madness. Remember
they turned the court into a football field and stoops
came out and they had just beat All Miss, and
he was like, oh, this is what madness is like,
I've never made it over here, gets that big round
of and then they haven't won meaningful game. It really
was the last moment because he got a huge ovation
and they had just beat Ole Miss. They had that
screen on the court that they made a football field
(39:10):
that looked awesome.
Speaker 5 (39:11):
I've completely forgotten that.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
And then it just plummeted from there because he was
a little cocky, little swaggy, a little bit of a
cow jab there in Reparena and it's just all been downhill.
What's your second thing?
Speaker 5 (39:23):
He's gone, Oh, he's gone. Okay. Did I appreciate the
call on him?
Speaker 3 (39:26):
And I think he appreciated his own call?
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Okay, gotcha hockey? I know we do a lot of
hockey on here. The hockey season starts tonight. I don't
know if people realize that. It feels like the other
one just ended, but the hockey season starts tonight. I'm
actually wearing a maple leaf shirt because they didn't get
Connor McDavid yesterday, and I feel bad for him. So
we do this every year. I don't think we've been
right one time yet. Who is going to be in
(39:51):
the Stanley Cup Finals?
Speaker 6 (39:52):
Ryan, I did correctly pick the Tampa Bay Lightning one year,
so I'm gonna pick him again this.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Year against two uh Colorado Avalanche. Well, they are in
different conferences.
Speaker 6 (40:02):
They just got lucky there.
Speaker 7 (40:03):
It was lucky, total lucky.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Yes, I was almost certain you were going to pick
a team that was not what it was in the
same conference.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
That's what I'm going with, Tampa Bay Lightning in the
Colorado Avalanche. Yes, what about you?
Speaker 6 (40:14):
Nicknames do not in the ands on a unique feature?
Speaker 5 (40:17):
There? Good?
Speaker 6 (40:20):
There aren't many nicknames that don't end in as.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
Do you know the new the team in Utah? Do
you know what they're called? No?
Speaker 7 (40:26):
Yeah, what they had decide on, didn't they?
Speaker 5 (40:28):
They know anybody?
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Anybody the Coyotes or something or No, that was Phoenix.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
They took over them. It's the mammoth, right, the mammoth,
the Utah Mammoth.
Speaker 7 (40:37):
Tall Mammoth didn't Yetti win.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
The vote, but they said no Because I love when
people have votes and then go we were just I mean,
we'll probably do that. In America soon, but like when
you have votes and then go who cares?
Speaker 5 (40:52):
All right, what about you? Uh?
Speaker 7 (40:54):
The Florida Panthers have been extremely hot row. I was
actually down there when they wanted a few years ago.
It was awesome watching the celebration. So I'm gonna say
they're back. Well, they're not gonna win, but we're gonna
be back in it. And then I'm pretty sure this
team is in the West or whatever the other conference
is called. Uh my, Nashville Predators are gonna shock the world,
(41:14):
aren't they awful?
Speaker 5 (41:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (41:16):
Oh horrible. I think they were dead last last year,
close to it. That's why we're gonna shock the world.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
That'll be a shock. So they're gonna go from dead
last to winning the whole thing.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
It's gonna be an unbelievable rebuild. That our coach, our
coach whose name it's just he's such a great coach.
He's gonna have it turned around.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Give me the Bruins, who are probably terrible.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
They are terrible, but they're gonna Boston Bruins are terrible,
and the kracking the crack are okay but not great.
So you're going Bruins.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
And cracking, how do you know they haven't played a
game yet.
Speaker 5 (41:46):
That's true.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
True, everybody's going over.
Speaker 5 (41:48):
We know one of your team.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
Gonna go with the Carolina Hurricanes again. They they're great
in the regular season struggle. They can't beat the Panthers.
That's the problem. They keep losing to the Panthers. But
I'm gonna take the Hurricanes and I'll say they'll play
the Uhmington Oilers with Connor McDavid, who's the best player,
and he re signed yesterday, took less money to stay
in Edmonton.
Speaker 6 (42:07):
Wayne still played for this Dwayne Gretzky.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
Is sixty years old. So no but Edmonton and the
Carolina Hurricanes. We had our picks. I think the year
we won it, Carolina we beat Edmonton in the finals,
so I think we're gonna do it again this year.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
We'll take a break come back. I renumber two Ksorry
