Speaker 3 (01:05):
Quarterback TUCKI Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,
text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five
two five four here with Drew and Shannon. Pregame show
is at four point thirty today from ks Bar. If
you're going to the game, head on out that way.
I will have tickets to give away during that show,
including Drew some good ones, uh from a couple of
our friends that I think they'll be a lot of.
(01:29):
I think tickets will be widely available tonight. Would you
agree with that?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
I expect that. I don't know if a BBN is
intentionally sending a message tonight, but I know people aren't
the most enthusiastic about the team right now.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I could see, Uh well, I know, without even asking Shannon,
I've been giving a bunch of tickets to give away.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I would guess we'll get more.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Uh So, I just think they'll be tickets awayble I'm
sitting here looking at n C Central, our opponent. Here's
who they've played this year in C State, Virginia, Appalachian State.
Now let's hear's some schools. Have you ever heard of
Bluefield State?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I was just looking this school up Where is Bluefield State?
It is in Bluefield, West Virginia.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Okay, I didn't know there was a blue Field, West Virginia.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Where is that? Obviously it's in West Virginia, of.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
West Virginia, no idea.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Do you ever heard of Bluefield State?
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I mean only when I looked up in central schedule,
but didn't do much thorough research beyond that.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Gage Latimore went twelve for seventeen against Bluefield State, then
North Carolina and then Tacoa Falls, t Ccoa Falls.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Where's that?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
That's Georgia somewhere in Georgia.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Are you guessing? Or you know?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Is Taquila Falls Georgia? He's got it?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Look at look at Drew didn't Tacoa Falls? Never heard
of that school?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Then Dayton, USC Upstate, that's South Carolina, the aforementioned Carolina,
U James Madison and NCA and T So.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
We shouldn't have any problems tonight.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I'm gonna assume they've played good teams though they've played
NC State, Virginia and North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
But I think they got beat by a lot in
all those. Let's talk about a couple other things.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Drew UK volleyball makes it to the Sweet sixteen, they
get a little bit of a break.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Cal Poly upset.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I believe it was USC to make it to the
sweet sixteen, so there they were actually a twelve seed.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
So we are in the sweet sixteen playing a twelve seed.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I actually watched some of this match where they pulled
the upset up and upset off and won. They are short,
which is not something you see in a volleyball team
a lot. They're short, but they're scrappy. The cal Poly
group the USC had like two women who could jump
to the moon, and if you watched it, you would
(03:52):
have thought there's no way this other team's gonna win,
but then they did. Kentucky plays them in the Sweet sixteen,
three thirty on Thursday. Kind of weird time. We're gonna
show the game at the bar. Uh it's it's it's
on national television. But Kentucky with a really good chance
if they can get it to get to the Elite eight.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yeah on tickets for that just went on sal At
like ten am this morning for anyone trying to go.
I know Craig Skinner tried to build them up like
a great opponent, and I'm sure they are to get
to this point but that upset sure to help Kentucky's
path and getting there and we're two wins away from
moving on to Final four. Weekend, just got to handle
business at home and he's next to.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
I'm not saying they can't win, Shandon, because but I
actually did research for this game. I watched that game. Yeah,
and they are a lot shorter than we are. They
but they are a scrappy group. What do you call it?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You you get the digs.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
They are really good at digging, like because the USC
girls could literally jump. I don't know if people realize
they would touch the ceiling yea, and but still they
would dig it. They would just keep going. And they
were also this is my Skinner say this Drew there.
I think the thing cow Poly's the best at is blocking.
(05:06):
They block like they would get they they scored so
many points just blocking it directly into the ground.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
That's my that's you know, I'm good at this.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Follow Yeah to say I don't I don't need Craig
Skinner scouting for it. We heard you talking about.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Blocking, and that's who we played.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Although their color scheme is is like green, you know
when you mix all the colors together and it turns
into like a dark green you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
That's their color scheme.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I don't like it, but they play Thursday at three
thirty and really good chance drew for the UK volleyball
team to make the Final four.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
And is Craig Skinner gonna get even higher up? He's
done the fifth third building. They well, they tweeted an
airplane emoji this morning, like, do you.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Do you think they'll sell that game out Thursday? I mean,
it's in a weird time. Having to play at three thirty.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
The time obviously hurts them, but I still think they can.
The few that I've been to this year, I mean
that place was insane just for like a regular season game,
and I don't think that excitement will go away. People
will find a way to get there for postseason matching,
even if it is earlier in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
The good thing was, I'm gonna say the good thing
is the two teams they've lost to in the regular
season are on the other side of the bracket, Pittsburgh
and Nebraska.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yes they are, which you could get all and then
I think the second game is what Arizona State Creighton,
That's the other game, so I have.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Not seen them play.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I can't do the research on Arizona State and crighton
Virginia Tech. You know they hired James Franklin. Their coach
before that, Shannon was a guy named Brent Fry. Probably
don't know that guy, but his name was Brent Fry.
They fired Brent Fry earlier this year, just fired him.
You're out of here. James Franklin is now bringing him
(06:48):
back as the defensive coordinator.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
The AD's got to be loving this, right after he.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Was the head coach earlier in the year.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
This would be like will Stein hiring Mark Stoops is
defensive coordinator, right, I mean, which seems utterly ludicrous, but
it's gonna happen at Virginia Tech.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
If you were Brent Fry, could you go from sitting
in the coaches chair to the next week moving down
and being the defensive coordinator?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Do you think you could do? You think you could
suppress the ego to do that?
Speaker 7 (07:26):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No, I'd be taking my buy out and going on
vacation for a couple of years and coming back and
finding a head coach job somewhere instead of coming back
to where the place just fired me two months ago.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
This happened in September, I know, and he is now
coming back as a defensive coordinator.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Do you think you could do that? Drew?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
It's tough. I just I'm thinking how awkward that is
when he's just walking down the hallways knowing that all
the people you're passing just wanted you gone, yeah to
kind of look down and you like accidentally walked to
the head coaches office like, oh, that's not me. I'm
on down here in this smaller But also, you know,
I don't know his family situation, but say he's got
(08:04):
a nice house, friends and family there, he's established, why
not take more money from the school you were just with?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
So would you support would you support Mark Stoops as
Will Stein's defensive coordinator? He hasn't hired one yet. I
don't think this is gonna happen, but could you support it?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I think so, Yeah, I think I would be okay
with that. Mark Stoops is he's always been really a
defensive minded. Head coach put him on the defensive coordinator position.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
But he would be making more money than the head coach.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Just for the record, well that's getting paid that.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
He literally would be making more money than Will Stein.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Well, that sounds like a little Stein problem to me.
I don't care who makes what.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Okay through Would you support Mark defensive coordinator if it was.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Just him on the sideline calling the defense. Yes, But
so much of this is recruiting now and I think
that was part of the nil. And I think Stoops
that was part of his problems. He wasn't liking this
new era. So no, I wouldn't want old. But maybe
he didn't have the.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Pressure to do that. That's true if you were, if you.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Were willing to embress and embrace NI l a little
better and be excited about it. Maybe, but it didn't
just be too awkward.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I feel like it would be really awkward, but it
would be kind of fun now there.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
There was a report out of Oxville yesterday that they
have three candidates for their defensive coordinator and one of
them was Mark Stoops.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
How would you feel if he ended up in Orange
next year?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
So if Stoops takes that, does he have to surrender
any of that buyout?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I think he asked to whatever gonna he gets he
gets every Still it says no mitigation moving forward like that.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Unbelievable. Mitch did not even get the mitigation in there.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Stoops is getting paid no matter what.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
So no compete. So in other words, I would double dip. Absolutely,
I'm getting dip. He should right of course.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I mean Mitch.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
How does Mitch not even get the mitigation in the contract?
Like every contract has that if you go work somewhere
else and they and you make that Like, how did
he not even get that in there?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Drew?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I don't know. It's pressive work.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Would you love to play poker with Mitch Barnhardt?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, I'd love to be his coach.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
He'd be like, here you go, I have a pair
of twos. But I'm all in, Just go ahead. I
just want you to know, for all fairness, I want
a lot to you.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I've been asked nineteen different times about this contract. It's
a pair of contract.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I told you I have a pair of twos.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You want me to show you?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Well, all right, But what if he's in what if
he's in Knoxville?
Speaker 5 (10:42):
I can't imagine that, Like, I don't know what's between
Stoop's ears, but what he's getting paid, and you know,
han't been a head coach for as long as he was,
and what he would went through I'm putting my feet
up for a few years and not going.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Back to work.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, he's a Kentuckian. He's already he said that two
weeks ago. He's a Kentuckian. Now he's not going to Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
And I thought he did like hypel Now all of
a sudden, he's gonna be honest, I would entertain that.
I can't see that happening. Yeah, if anything, is going
to do the Kirby route and just sit there and
collect money from Kirby's crew for a few years as
an analyst or some made up position like Saban did
for many years in Alabama.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, well, what if if he shows up in Orange?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Would you, by the way, would you bully him next year?
Speaker 5 (11:22):
You're wear an orange is gonna boot? I don't care
who you are.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, for sure, But I'm definitely double dipping though, like
I am doing that. I think you will have it somewhere.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
He's he's I don't know if he'll do it this year,
but he will take a job soon. He'll do something
I can't imagine he does it. Who's up next? Don
don go ahead?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Don?
Speaker 9 (11:42):
Hey, good morning guys, Good morning, first time caller here.
Who what's that big don good luck on the New
Orleans bubble Man. Bluefield, West Virginia is down in the
southern tip. Bluefield and Princeton are right next together. I'm
(12:06):
a sixty five year UK basketball fan and I'm as
frustrated as anybody you're talking about players cars. I saw
Sam Buie once picking somebody up outside a Lexing Catholic
and he was in some old beater thing. Looked very uncomfortable,
(12:27):
all being over and everything, but he was smiling and
waved to me. Matt, I've got a personal thing for you.
I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last May thirtieth, and
I'm not telling you what to do, but I'm telling
you what I did. I reached out to well over
(12:49):
one hundred people and said I am embolden and asking
for prayers and Matt, it made a huge difference in
my recovery in my life. And uh, it's just a thought.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
For well, I appreciate you.
Speaker 9 (13:11):
Wonderful day.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yeah, thank you very much. Thank you very much, you
and your and your continued battles on that. And we
have had, uh, listen, We've had a ton of people
reach out and talk about that, They've prayed for for
for my dad, and I would ask that, you know,
if if that's what you do, to continue to do that.
(13:35):
You know we have as a family, we have a
tough road ahead, but we you know, Larry is Larry
is the best human being I've I've ever known. He's
the kindest person that I've ever I've ever known. And
it's not even close. And I I just it's it's
(13:59):
beautiful how many people. What's beautiful to me about this
show when it comes to my parents, and specifically him
in this case, is you all don't even know them,
and yet people have treated this and them as if
they're a part of your family, and that really you
(14:19):
don't know how much that that means to me. And
last week was an extremely difficult week for me with
what was happening in our world here happening at the
same time as that was happening, and then trying to
figure out how to balance it, but also figure out
(14:40):
what I needed to say and didn't say, And it
was just it was a lot. And just know, even
if I don't respond every prayer, every thought that comes,
I appreciate it and they appreciate it. And Larry, you know,
he doesn't even necessarily realize this world. He's not even
on the Internet, but I know he can feel the
(15:04):
way you all reach out, and I just I do
want to thank you. We're gonna take a break. We'll
be right back. KSR walk come up. Welcome back, not

Good Life A five two eighty seven. We talked Drew
earlier last week about the changes that the dude Duffy
(16:18):
wanted to make to airports. Remember he said he want
everybody to dress up better, right if we went to
the airport, which I think all three of us were.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Nos on right, that's right, all right?
Speaker 4 (16:27):
So now he has four new ideas. They're gonna put
a billion dollars into airport and they're gonna have these
four things, all right, So I'm gonna get you, guys,
do you think these are good ideas? They're gonna be
two hundred million dollars in each of these things. Number One,
security lines that are for families only to like get
(16:47):
your kids through, yes or no, Drew.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I'm okay with that because I seem to always get
behind the family that isn't prepared to go through the line,
and I'm just stuck watching them try to hold their
toddler while fold up a suitcase and all that. So yeah,
let them have their own area so we can keep
this moving.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
All right, Shannon I'm good with this too. You got
families with strollers. Does the baby stay in the stroller?
Does it come out of the stroller?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
It's like a million things they're trying to figure out. Meanwhile,
I'm just trying to get by with my single suitcase.
I am all for this.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Initially, when I first saw it, I was like, eh, no,
because then you're just giving people with families more advantage.
But then I thought about you all, I hate being
stuck behind kids. We're like, eh, put up, You're not
like it's just too much.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Some families are big families that Yeah, we're just assuming
you're a family of four.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
What if you're a family of eight, Yes, and you
got the kids running around and smacking each other in
the face. And then like, so, yes, I'm actually I'm
good with this. Second, playgrounds in the airports.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh well, I mean, if you don't want kids bothering you,
you can hopefully put them all over there on the
slides and the monkey bars.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
So see again you're thinking like me.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
At first, I'm like, why am I wasting my money
to give the playground?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
But you know what, Yeah, if it'll keep.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Them from running around where I'm sitting then, Drew, I'm
actually pro playground.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
I'm pro playground, but I also think we should include
adult activities, and we just need more entertainment in airports,
like where's my where's my golf simulator? If I'm here
for three hours, we all need something to do.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Okay, you gonna give them a golf I can't.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Just sit at Chili's two for three hours drinking eighteen
dollars beers during my layover. I need some activities, all right.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
What about the next one is more nursing root like
rooms places.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I guess you can go women can nurse their children.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Again the way they we're getting your kids buy of
the way. I don't see this as.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
A lot of these seem to just be about getting
children away exactly.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Like if they're your kids, it's one thing, But if
it's somebody else's kids, you want them out of the way.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
It's like when they used to have the smoking rooms,
They're like, all right, y'all, just go in there.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
This is kind of the same thing. Just all right, Drew,
put all the kids over there, hurt.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Them, and it's just now hitting me. I'm looking this
from my perspective as a as a single kid liss guy.
I need to Actually I'm probably gonna I'm looking at
this the wrong way. All these things, I want all
of them. I need all the advantages.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
And then last they are talking about putting workout, uh,
workout bars, pull up bars and places to do push
ups and jogging in place. You could just you can
exercise in the airport, what not pull up bars?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
But I could jog in place. Look like a crazy
person over Why is this guy jogging in plaze? Get
my steps in?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I'm for that too, though, you know, especially if you get.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
A long layovers that I don't want that.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
I don't want people being all stinky on the planes,
dru like if you're out there out pulling and sweating,
I mean, where where you go, where you're gonna shower,
You're just gonna be stinky getting on the airport.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Hundred million dollars we can't find like enough money for showers.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Then you're talking public nudity in these places, Shan, Are
you for the gyms for adults?
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Absolutely not at golf simulators as far as I want
to go with a physical activity, because you're right, somebody
will be trying to show off some single guy will
be trying to work out next to a woman at
the gate and then he's not gonna shower and he's
getting up sitting by me, And I don't want to
be a part of that.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah, I don't know. Who are people that just want
to go to the airport and do pull ups? Who
are those people?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Is that you got sitting at Chili's too drinking?
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Airplanes are gross enough without people being sweaty and everything
in them. So I'm I'm for three of those four.
I'm out on the doing pull ups. Who's next, David,
Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
David, Yeah, good morning. I've bet mors friends call me
and asked me about a picture floating around about Jack
Kilger and Drew dean Aer about Kentucky fans booing, and
I need to set the record straight that picture that
was taken. In the picture that the picture was taken
was the North Carolina game and we were upset with
(21:04):
pretty boy Joe Lindsey after he made a call against
Otaga oh way, after he stole the ball at half
court and would have gone down for an uncontested too.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
So it was I mean, you're saying there's a picture
of you. I'm not I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
There's a picture. Well, we don't know who you are,
so you got to remember that. Oh there's a picture
of you. There's a picture of you booing that's being
used as an example of fans booing. But you're saying
you weren't booting the players. You were booing a referee
the game before we.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Were it was a North Carolina game. We were booing. Uh,
pretty boy, Joe lindsay after you made a call against
old Way at half court. Wait, well that's what I
call him. I'm sorry, but we would have got two
points out of that, but we didn't. And I just
want to set the record straight up. I wouldn't boo
Kentucky fans and uh, and I wouldn't boo the Kentucky team.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
You take the good with the bad and you go forward.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
That's okay, all right, fair enough, appreciate the call. I'm
not sure the picture he's talking about, but that's a
fair point. Sometimes, you know, when you use a picture
with the story, you might say picture of fans booing
and drew, it could be a different scenario than the
game where they were booing the players.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Yeah, I don't know the exact one. He's talking about
because there were several from Gonzaga, and then I guess
he's won from the game before, but also don't know
his name, but I'm glad to clear that up.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
And then moving forward, wonder Shanning about the videos of
people booing.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
During the Gonzaga game.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Yeah, there was a lot of people booing, but it
would be like individuals that were zeroed in on, and
I did wonder, like they're gonna get a lot of
people going, hey, man, were you booing at the game?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I did wonder what that was gonna look.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, I was, of course I was. If you weren't
in that arena, you weren't booing them.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Then do you feel sorry.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
For the people that become memes the fans, like when
they're sad about something during the game, or a girl
crying or a guy like, do you ever feel sorry
for those people? Like they don't know that's gonna be them.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I don't feel bad for them.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
It's kind of funny, you never you never feel bad,
But like, think about the ones that have become famous,
like the girl that was playing the flute during the
tournament Prime favorite, do you ever feel.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Sorry for those people?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
You're crying over a game. I mean real, let's get
into the root of it. You're crying because your team
lost and you're playing a flute and you're crying. No,
I don't feel bad for that person. Play your flute.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Just play your flute and shut up saying alright.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
He'll make them pay now.

More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's
Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. I five nine two eight
twenty two eighty seven. Uh text machine is seven seven
two four five two five four. By the way, game
seven o'clock tonight. Pregame shows at four point thirty. Be
it ks bar come say hello to everybody. Get a
pregame meal before this game that hopefully will not be competitive.
(24:08):
We will see one person rights. Matt Shannon is the best.
He doesn't care about being politically correct. He just says
what he thinks. That's true, he's right, Like that's good
for sire, But like that's that's why Shannon has to
be in the role he is.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
If Shannon was the only host, this show would be canceled.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
But by being by being in the role as the
guy chipping in, and I think that works. If he
was just if it was three straight hours of Shannon talking,
this show would have been canceled years ago. Personality, I do,
and I make sure and I know, like, okay, I
know when to ask Shannon things, Drew. There are times
I'm like, I think I know what he'll say. You
(24:48):
actually have a better idea of what Shannon is going
to say on any topic than almost anyone else, Like
Ryan has become the wild card.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
In his old age. Drew like, we don't know what
he's gonna say.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
It doesn't know he's gonna say next.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Yeah, sometimes mid sentence.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
That's the scary part when he doesn't even know what's
coming to come next.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
So like, like Drew, like today when you're there and
I'm not like like I usually I can see when
his brain is about to do something stupid. But when
I can't see him, I'm relying on you to get
him to shut up before he starts doing something like that.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
And it's it's a tough job when you're talking to
him and setting him up, and I you know, I
don't want to butt in and be like no, no, no,
stop stop. I see in his eyes. So it's like
a slippery slope here. I don't know when to intervene
and when not to.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
I'm gonna give you permission to just jump in and
go no, no, don't let him.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I'll see it because you and I know the look.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
He gets a look in his eyes like I'm gonna
say something funny, and that's usually a bad sign.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Especially when he gets that grin and it's gonna be
something perverted or you know something. We know he doesn't
need to say that.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
He didn't. He didn't used to be like that, did he?
On the on that stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
He's getting worse with his old age, he is. You
get that point to where you just don't care in life.
You know, I just gonna say it, and I don't.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Care if when they put in the hair plugs they
also added some something in no filter.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
They took his filter out.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Maybe that's uh, maybe that's what it was. What person rites, Matt?
What would each of you get?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Grade?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Will Stein on his first week as Kentucky football coach.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
He's only been a coach for a week. It feels
like a lot longer, but it's been one week. Considering
the press conference, in his early hirings and the fact
he's had to, you know, still do his job at
Oregon through.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
What kind of grade would you give will Stein for
week one?
Speaker 5 (26:39):
You know, other than the press conference, It's really hard
to grade him on much. He's added an offensive coordinator.
We have no idea how that.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Got a recruit, got a big time cruit.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
They did hold the signing class together. You got Darby
the receiver. Uh yeah, I'll give him an A minus.
There's only so much you can do right now, and
in the little things he's done, I have no reason
to complain about any of it.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, he got his OC quickly, so that's that's a
good positive. He won the press conference, But I feel
like it's hard to lose your introductory press coff.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
People have done it though, I mean like lost with
his dude. Yeah, but it is hard.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, I mean a weekend, I would say an A.
I don't. I don't know how you give him any
worse than an A.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Yeah, I give you. I give you an A minus.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
I thought the press conference was good, not necessarily perfect,
but good. I think that commitment was big, got staff going.
I gu his mom gets an A for the whole
cissy Cakes.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Thing is bumped up for me because of his mom
and sissy Cakes and that connection to the fan base.
That's added to the excitement.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Even though it's by the way, you can't get one
of those cakes.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
They're probably on the back order.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
I mean they are, like they're they're everywhere that she
was actually going to bring us some uh today, but
I wasn't.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
But uh like that that's been you talk about, talk
about bumping up your business. Your son gets hired chatting
and then your cake business takes off along with it.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Right, great for business. I mean they I don't know
that they can make cakes quick enough for the demand.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah, because there's yeah, I mean there's just too well
they may have staff, I don't know. But then to
to h main ones. So who's up first, Tory? Tory,
go ahead, Tory.
Speaker 10 (28:21):
Hey, Matt, So I know how to read, and I'm
not color blind. I think I could probably be your spotterer.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Yeah, but you have to have done it before, because
it's like it's all about calling. They're right, the plays
and the sets and and the numbers, and like I
do think there's like a repetition to it. I think
there needs to be. Since I have no experience, I
think I need someone with experience.
Speaker 10 (28:49):
I think the difference between someone that's done it for
their entire life and me is probably like a week.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Wow, that's so you're not Drew.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Doesn't sound like Tory's respecting the job of spotter very much.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Easy, Yeah, what does spotter do to your in your life?
At some point? Sounds like you just said angry against Spotter's.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Just doesn't believe that a spotter can I feel like Shannon,
there's a little more to it than that.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
There's gotta be. Yeah, I mean, I.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Guess they can say this.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
I guess they could say the same thing about me
as a play by playhost.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I have such little want to say.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
About Western Kentucky. I mean, think about that. What if
you went to Western Kentucky, which is like a broadcast
journalism school, and you don't get the opportunity to call
the game, but Matt Jones does, who has never done
this before in his life.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
But I have done radio right, so like you know,
they I appreciate the call.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
I have not done the mechanics of calling a football game,
which is almost which is certainly a unique skill. But
I have done mechanics of getting in out of breaks,
trying to keep a conversation flowing, trying to keep it interesting,
like it's not like it's gonna be dead air, right, Yeah, come,
I encourage me.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
You got this. You just need you just needs yourself
a good spoder.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
And like the difference between success and failure through is
whether or not I have a good spot.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
You just blame it on the spotter.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
If it sucks, exactly the spotter screwed it up, he
didn't spot that's right, and.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Let that be known. Mid game like second quarter, be like,
I've got to get a better spotterer if we're gonna
save this broadcast.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Am I gonna do like firing Hugh Freeze mid season?
I think game get a new.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Spotterer if you have to. If it gets to that point,
do you still have your PlayStation five? I think you should. Uh,
you should get the college football game and play with
these two teams, and that'll drill the rosters into your head.
That's how I used to to learn all the college
football rosters back in the day. Is playing that game
so much? Just keep playing Western versus Southern Miss over
and over and you'll have all of the guys memorized
(30:50):
with their numbers.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
It's actually a pretty good idea.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
I need to get Tom Lea to you know, because
you were right. He has that big card, Drew, But
I don't know what's on that card. Do you know
what's on it?
Speaker 6 (31:01):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:01):
It always looks so colorful and organized that.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah, it's color coded. Pronunciations for names. You need to
make sure you know how to pronounce it.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
Oh no, they take it serious.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Pull up, pull up the Western Kentucky and Southern miss roster,
and you you give me any names here, Let's do
this real quick.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Let's pull this.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
I want you to be prepared.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Yeah, now, let's do this. Let's let's pull it up
and let's see if there are names that I think one. Okay,
hang on, let me let me get let me get it.
Let me get it pulled up, because I need to
be able to see it. Western Kentucky football roster. All right,
let's see Western Kentucky football roster. What number are you
worried about?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
All right? Uh?
Speaker 2 (31:48):
He is number zero.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Zero? Are you talking about? Oh my goodness?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, good luck? Well, how would you say that? One?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Macavelly Malow Tumo. Uh, this is gonna be great.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
See right there, that's when you throw the spot under
the bus. You say you were supposed to give me
the pronunciations.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
It was malatumal. That's hard to say mallow to ma
mao malotumalo. It's it's okay. Yeah, we're gonna have to
work on that one.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Uh, you might be clearer for the rust one. Let's
just hope that guy the rest of them.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Look up for the rest of them, look up cred
Dominic Oliver, I got him, mcmichol.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Connor Olson. I think you can say that one.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Robbie Harrison, Easy, Owen Lloyd, he's a good guy. Avarian
Cole like him, Cole Maynard.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Uh huh, what about right?
Speaker 5 (32:41):
A former cat? Just talk about him the whole game.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
They have a former cat Lavelle. Right. Yeah, they got
a guy named Phonsie.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
You're good zave On Tutu Griffin, he's got to be good,
right if his nickname is Toutu.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, we gotta look at the other team's roster. You're
from Western Kentucky. You're good on that.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Looks like that's all right on Western Kentucky. If I
can just do the guy named the number zero, I
think I got the rest of him.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
He's a defensive lineman too, so he may not even start.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
That's where you give him a cool nickname, Agent zero.
Just call him agent zero the whole game.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Look at this, Maybe I need to take crew you too,
actually understand me, right, like you could go just call
him agent zero.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, yeah, I know. Hey, Southern Miss has a guy
named Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Look at that. That's twenty minutes of content right there.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
That's a whole quarter.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
They have a guy. What position does Matt Jones play?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Bench?
Speaker 11 (33:39):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Running back?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
He's a ra Wait a minute, was that the guy
that was that old miss?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Maybe he's a red shirt?
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Actually, yeah, that's the guy that was that old miss.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Look at this so much to say, you're gonna neaed
overtime to get through all this content.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Look all right, number twelve on Southern Miss. How you
saying that?
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Yeah? See, I don't, I don't, I can't. I don't
have it pulled up with. What's that? What's how do
you spell it?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
G u y l I j a h. It's his
first name, guijlaka Kyle okay. Then his last name is
t h e O d u l e.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
The Oche.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
The ol Duel Okay, accept it.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Golijah Fiol think he was in Hamilton, writes me a
letter every day. Kentucky families are struggling to access what
should be basic essentials housing and childcare, not luxuries, not extras, essentials,
and the Kentucky Chambers focused on improving access to housing
and childcare for all ages and stages because Kentucky's family's
(34:45):
workforce and economy depend on Kentucky Chamber has been taking
this on for over a year now, and they're asking
you to help. Go to Opportunity starts here dot com.
That's Opportunities starts here dot com. Add your name and
tell lawmakers housing matters in Kentucky. It's Opportunity starts here
dot com With the Kentucky Chamber. We'll take a break
and be right back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Matt. Is this Leonard skinnered?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
It is? Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I feel like this is a song that, like the
Vanetties of the world come in as their intro music.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
A lot, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Probably though she.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Just feels like guys that like, I feel like if
Ryan hosted a show, he would come in with this
song A.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Lot and Leonard Skinner's a band that has no original
members but still tours.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I don't think that should be allowed. I've been very
clear about it.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
I mean, like, one hundred years from now, they're still
gonna be touring like Menudo. Right, it's not really Leonard
Skinner though.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
No it's not.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
But I don't like I think I think you should
only be able to continue the band if you have
the same lead singer, because that's who everybody's there to
see anyway, right, Yeah, but I mean.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Well, I mean then in that case ac DC wouldn't
have been around for the last years.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah, but that but I think their new lead singer
was good.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah. So you're saying there are exceptions.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
There are a couple of exceptions.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Van Halen's an exception when they went to Sammy Hagar, right,
and then yeah, ac DC, and that's it.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Nobody else house gets it, nobody else gets to do it.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,
text machine is seven seven to two seven seven four
five two five four one person rights. I'd like to
know from Frank Franklin specifically, will Kentucky make the tournament?
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Oh boy, uh, I'll say yes at this point, but
I'll admit it's way more comfortable than it should be
on December ninth. You cannot go zero to six in
your non conference schedule and then go into conference play
thinking you're in good standing. So I don't know if
I'm calling for them to win the next two, but
at least get one and then figure this out by
(36:49):
SEC play and you can sneak in as a non seed.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Yeah, I'm still gonna say yes, but it's because I
do have the hope that with low and quaintance, you're
gonna be better in diabate, So I'm gonna still say yes.
I also think the SEC is not very good, But
I think the key stretch for me is gonna be
(37:14):
pull up the basketball schedule. Theater you play Alabama in
your first game on the road. I have no confidence
we're gonna win that game. But then, if I remember correctly,
we've got like three or four games in a row
that are pretty winnable. Am I right about that?
Speaker 3 (37:27):
After? After?
Speaker 5 (37:28):
I'm not calling anything winnable right now, but yeah, we
go let's see, you're right, goes at Alabama, opens play,
then host Missouri and Mississippi State, and then you can.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Win we need to win those. Then what are the
what are the next two? What's the next row?
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Games?
Speaker 5 (37:44):
L s U and Tennessee back to back?
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Okay, so.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
That little string of Missouri Mississippi State at LSU. I
will decide whether or not this team is a tournament
team in those three games. If you're a tournament team,
you need to win all three of those games, especially
if you have a bad non conference those are gonna
be the three games. To me, if you lose any
of those games, you're probably gonna struggle to make the tournament.
(38:13):
So let's see that. To me is when I'll judge.
I mean, even if you're great, winning that Alabama's hard,
winning that Tennessee is hard. But those three games are
a tournament team should beat those two teams.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
At home and go win at LSU.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
So we'll see what what happens with those Who's next?
Speaker 2 (38:28):
The truth?
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Truth? How are your truth? Man?
Speaker 12 (38:33):
I just wanted personally to say this to you and
if you allowed me to do it, I'm praying for
your mother and your and your dad, and I know
what it is to go through metal gods dollar, but
I want to let you know you got a friend
and you know we cut up about sports. But it
(38:53):
ain't nothing like hem enough. I wish I had my
mom and my dad like you, and you have your
mom and dad. My heart go out for you. And
if you can, let me said just a little bit
prayer for you right on? Ks or is that all right?
Speaker 3 (39:11):
It is? Thank you, Father.
Speaker 12 (39:13):
I thank you for Matt jo and his family. Father
and God. I prayed that you knit them together. To
God you held his father. God, you bring strength and
love and come with them. But I asked you in
the name of Jesus. Amen. Thank you, Matt. I holler,
I'll holler at y'all Friday about Indiana. God bless you.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Thank you man. I appreciate that. That's very nice of you.
Who's next.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Let's go to Tim, Tim, go ahead, Tim.
Speaker 11 (39:44):
Hey Man, thanks for taking my call. Hey, I just
want to talk about Mark Pope just for a second.
A lot of people are saying that like maybe he's
on the hot seat, and maybe he is, but I
don't think so, although I would say, this poor performance
is got to be all on him, Like, you know,
(40:05):
he had to know the chemistry wasn't.
Speaker 12 (40:07):
Right before all of this happened. He just signed it out.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Yeah, Uh, you know, I appreciate the call. I don't know, Drew,
do you think he did. I mean, I've kind of
thought after the Louisville and Michigan State game, at times
he seemed as sort of baffled by it as everybody else,
don't you.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
Yeah, he's out a loss for words, and maybe you
have some bad apples that he didn't see in recruiting,
and you can chalk it up to that. But you know,
if next year, if we have another team where we're like, well,
these guys don't fit again either, you really have to
get concerned. Because remember a big part of his message
in recruiting is he says no to guys because they're
not the right fit. You know, we'll miss a guy
(40:49):
in the portal and justifyed by like, well, the meeting
with Pope didn't go well, he doesn't fit Kentucky. Well,
the guys you settled on obviously aren't fitting very Kentucky
very well either. So that worries me about in recruiting
because he's supposed to be so select about who he's getting.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
Yeah, what has been sort of odd to me is
to watch how much he has seemed unable to figure
out what was going on that has been a little
disconcerting to me. P rats has been locally owned and
operated for over seventy five years, serving the Bluegrass with appliants, furnitures,

I want to thank the Truth for that. You know,
(42:05):
it's crazy how the world works. Just a second before that,
I got on the text machine and somebody had written
something actually somewhat bad to me, and I was like,
how could somebody say that? And then you get back
on and you get that, and you know, that's a
dude who's been calling this show for fifteen years. And
(42:27):
I can't tell you how much that meant to me.

much everybody for listening. Enjoy the game tonight. I will

Welcome to two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Now Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Quarterback TUCKI Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,
text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five
two five four here with Drew and Shannon. Pregame show
is at four point thirty today from ks Bar. If
you're going to the game, head on out that way.
I will have tickets to give away during that show,
including Drew some good ones, uh from a couple of
our friends that I think they'll be a lot of.
(01:29):
I think tickets will be widely available tonight. Would you
agree with that?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
I expect that. I don't know if a BBN is
intentionally sending a message tonight, but I know people aren't
the most enthusiastic about the team right now.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I could see, Uh well, I know, without even asking Shannon,
I've been giving a bunch of tickets to give away.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I would guess we'll get more.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Uh So, I just think they'll be tickets awayble I'm
sitting here looking at n C Central, our opponent. Here's
who they've played this year in C State, Virginia, Appalachian State.
Now let's hear's some schools. Have you ever heard of
Bluefield State?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I was just looking this school up Where is Bluefield State?
It is in Bluefield, West Virginia.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Okay, I didn't know there was a blue Field, West Virginia.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Where is that? Obviously it's in West Virginia, of.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
West Virginia, no idea.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Do you ever heard of Bluefield State?
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I mean only when I looked up in central schedule,
but didn't do much thorough research beyond that.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Gage Latimore went twelve for seventeen against Bluefield State, then
North Carolina and then Tacoa Falls, t Ccoa Falls.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Where's that?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
That's Georgia somewhere in Georgia.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Are you guessing? Or you know?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Is Taquila Falls Georgia? He's got it?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Look at look at Drew didn't Tacoa Falls? Never heard
of that school?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Then Dayton, USC Upstate, that's South Carolina, the aforementioned Carolina,
U James Madison and NCA and T So.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
We shouldn't have any problems tonight.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I'm gonna assume they've played good teams though they've played
NC State, Virginia and North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
But I think they got beat by a lot in
all those. Let's talk about a couple other things.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Drew UK volleyball makes it to the Sweet sixteen, they
get a little bit of a break.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Cal Poly upset.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I believe it was USC to make it to the
sweet sixteen, so there they were actually a twelve seed.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
So we are in the sweet sixteen playing a twelve seed.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I actually watched some of this match where they pulled
the upset up and upset off and won. They are short,
which is not something you see in a volleyball team
a lot. They're short, but they're scrappy. The cal Poly
group the USC had like two women who could jump
to the moon, and if you watched it, you would
(03:52):
have thought there's no way this other team's gonna win,
but then they did. Kentucky plays them in the Sweet sixteen,
three thirty on Thursday. Kind of weird time. We're gonna
show the game at the bar. Uh it's it's it's
on national television. But Kentucky with a really good chance
if they can get it to get to the Elite eight.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yeah on tickets for that just went on sal At
like ten am this morning for anyone trying to go.
I know Craig Skinner tried to build them up like
a great opponent, and I'm sure they are to get
to this point but that upset sure to help Kentucky's
path and getting there and we're two wins away from
moving on to Final four. Weekend, just got to handle
business at home and he's next to.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
I'm not saying they can't win, Shandon, because but I
actually did research for this game. I watched that game. Yeah,
and they are a lot shorter than we are. They
but they are a scrappy group. What do you call it?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You you get the digs.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
They are really good at digging, like because the USC
girls could literally jump. I don't know if people realize
they would touch the ceiling yea, and but still they
would dig it. They would just keep going. And they
were also this is my Skinner say this Drew there.
I think the thing cow Poly's the best at is blocking.
(05:06):
They block like they would get they they scored so
many points just blocking it directly into the ground.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
That's my that's you know, I'm good at this.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Follow Yeah to say I don't I don't need Craig
Skinner scouting for it. We heard you talking about.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Blocking, and that's who we played.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Although their color scheme is is like green, you know
when you mix all the colors together and it turns
into like a dark green you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
That's their color scheme.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I don't like it, but they play Thursday at three
thirty and really good chance drew for the UK volleyball
team to make the Final four.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
And is Craig Skinner gonna get even higher up? He's
done the fifth third building. They well, they tweeted an
airplane emoji this morning, like, do you.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Do you think they'll sell that game out Thursday? I mean,
it's in a weird time. Having to play at three thirty.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
The time obviously hurts them, but I still think they can.
The few that I've been to this year, I mean
that place was insane just for like a regular season game,
and I don't think that excitement will go away. People
will find a way to get there for postseason matching,
even if it is earlier in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
The good thing was, I'm gonna say the good thing
is the two teams they've lost to in the regular
season are on the other side of the bracket, Pittsburgh
and Nebraska.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yes they are, which you could get all and then
I think the second game is what Arizona State Creighton,
That's the other game, so I have.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Not seen them play.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I can't do the research on Arizona State and crighton
Virginia Tech. You know they hired James Franklin. Their coach
before that, Shannon was a guy named Brent Fry. Probably
don't know that guy, but his name was Brent Fry.
They fired Brent Fry earlier this year, just fired him.
You're out of here. James Franklin is now bringing him
(06:48):
back as the defensive coordinator.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
The AD's got to be loving this, right after he.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Was the head coach earlier in the year.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
This would be like will Stein hiring Mark Stoops is
defensive coordinator, right, I mean, which seems utterly ludicrous, but
it's gonna happen at Virginia Tech.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
If you were Brent Fry, could you go from sitting
in the coaches chair to the next week moving down
and being the defensive coordinator?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Do you think you could do? You think you could
suppress the ego to do that?
Speaker 7 (07:26):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No, I'd be taking my buy out and going on
vacation for a couple of years and coming back and
finding a head coach job somewhere instead of coming back
to where the place just fired me two months ago.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
This happened in September, I know, and he is now
coming back as a defensive coordinator.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Do you think you could do that? Drew?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
It's tough. I just I'm thinking how awkward that is
when he's just walking down the hallways knowing that all
the people you're passing just wanted you gone, yeah to
kind of look down and you like accidentally walked to
the head coaches office like, oh, that's not me. I'm
on down here in this smaller But also, you know,
I don't know his family situation, but say he's got
(08:04):
a nice house, friends and family there, he's established, why
not take more money from the school you were just with?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
So would you support would you support Mark Stoops as
Will Stein's defensive coordinator? He hasn't hired one yet. I
don't think this is gonna happen, but could you support it?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I think so, Yeah, I think I would be okay
with that. Mark Stoops is he's always been really a
defensive minded. Head coach put him on the defensive coordinator position.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
But he would be making more money than the head coach.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Just for the record, well that's getting paid that.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
He literally would be making more money than Will Stein.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Well, that sounds like a little Stein problem to me.
I don't care who makes what.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Okay through Would you support Mark defensive coordinator if it was.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Just him on the sideline calling the defense. Yes, But
so much of this is recruiting now and I think
that was part of the nil. And I think Stoops
that was part of his problems. He wasn't liking this
new era. So no, I wouldn't want old. But maybe
he didn't have the.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Pressure to do that. That's true if you were, if you.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Were willing to embress and embrace NI l a little
better and be excited about it. Maybe, but it didn't
just be too awkward.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I feel like it would be really awkward, but it
would be kind of fun now there.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
There was a report out of Oxville yesterday that they
have three candidates for their defensive coordinator and one of
them was Mark Stoops.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
How would you feel if he ended up in Orange
next year?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
So if Stoops takes that, does he have to surrender
any of that buyout?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I think he asked to whatever gonna he gets he
gets every Still it says no mitigation moving forward like that.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Unbelievable. Mitch did not even get the mitigation in there.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Stoops is getting paid no matter what.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
So no compete. So in other words, I would double dip. Absolutely,
I'm getting dip. He should right of course.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I mean Mitch.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
How does Mitch not even get the mitigation in the contract?
Like every contract has that if you go work somewhere
else and they and you make that Like, how did
he not even get that in there?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Drew?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I don't know. It's pressive work.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Would you love to play poker with Mitch Barnhardt?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, I'd love to be his coach.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
He'd be like, here you go, I have a pair
of twos. But I'm all in, Just go ahead. I
just want you to know, for all fairness, I want
a lot to you.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I've been asked nineteen different times about this contract. It's
a pair of contract.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I told you I have a pair of twos.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You want me to show you?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Well, all right, But what if he's in what if
he's in Knoxville?
Speaker 5 (10:42):
I can't imagine that, Like, I don't know what's between
Stoop's ears, but what he's getting paid, and you know,
han't been a head coach for as long as he was,
and what he would went through I'm putting my feet
up for a few years and not going.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Back to work.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, he's a Kentuckian. He's already he said that two
weeks ago. He's a Kentuckian. Now he's not going to Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
And I thought he did like hypel Now all of
a sudden, he's gonna be honest, I would entertain that.
I can't see that happening. Yeah, if anything, is going
to do the Kirby route and just sit there and
collect money from Kirby's crew for a few years as
an analyst or some made up position like Saban did
for many years in Alabama.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, well, what if if he shows up in Orange?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Would you, by the way, would you bully him next year?
Speaker 5 (11:22):
You're wear an orange is gonna boot? I don't care
who you are.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, for sure, But I'm definitely double dipping though, like
I am doing that. I think you will have it somewhere.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
He's he's I don't know if he'll do it this year,
but he will take a job soon. He'll do something
I can't imagine he does it. Who's up next? Don
don go ahead?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Don?
Speaker 9 (11:42):
Hey, good morning guys, Good morning, first time caller here.
Who what's that big don good luck on the New
Orleans bubble Man. Bluefield, West Virginia is down in the
southern tip. Bluefield and Princeton are right next together. I'm
(12:06):
a sixty five year UK basketball fan and I'm as
frustrated as anybody you're talking about players cars. I saw
Sam Buie once picking somebody up outside a Lexing Catholic
and he was in some old beater thing. Looked very uncomfortable,
(12:27):
all being over and everything, but he was smiling and
waved to me. Matt, I've got a personal thing for you.
I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last May thirtieth, and
I'm not telling you what to do, but I'm telling
you what I did. I reached out to well over
(12:49):
one hundred people and said I am embolden and asking
for prayers and Matt, it made a huge difference in
my recovery in my life. And uh, it's just a thought.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
For well, I appreciate you.
Speaker 9 (13:11):
Wonderful day.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yeah, thank you very much. Thank you very much, you
and your and your continued battles on that. And we
have had, uh, listen, We've had a ton of people
reach out and talk about that, They've prayed for for
for my dad, and I would ask that, you know,
if if that's what you do, to continue to do that.
(13:35):
You know we have as a family, we have a
tough road ahead, but we you know, Larry is Larry
is the best human being I've I've ever known. He's
the kindest person that I've ever I've ever known. And
it's not even close. And I I just it's it's
(13:59):
beautiful how many people. What's beautiful to me about this
show when it comes to my parents, and specifically him
in this case, is you all don't even know them,
and yet people have treated this and them as if
they're a part of your family, and that really you
(14:19):
don't know how much that that means to me. And
last week was an extremely difficult week for me with
what was happening in our world here happening at the
same time as that was happening, and then trying to
figure out how to balance it, but also figure out
(14:40):
what I needed to say and didn't say, And it
was just it was a lot. And just know, even
if I don't respond every prayer, every thought that comes,
I appreciate it and they appreciate it. And Larry, you know,
he doesn't even necessarily realize this world. He's not even
on the Internet, but I know he can feel the
(15:04):
way you all reach out, and I just I do
want to thank you. We're gonna take a break. We'll
be right back. KSR walk come up. Welcome back, not

Good Life A five two eighty seven. We talked Drew
earlier last week about the changes that the dude Duffy
(16:18):
wanted to make to airports. Remember he said he want
everybody to dress up better, right if we went to
the airport, which I think all three of us were.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Nos on right, that's right, all right?
Speaker 4 (16:27):
So now he has four new ideas. They're gonna put
a billion dollars into airport and they're gonna have these
four things, all right, So I'm gonna get you, guys,
do you think these are good ideas? They're gonna be
two hundred million dollars in each of these things. Number One,
security lines that are for families only to like get
(16:47):
your kids through, yes or no, Drew.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
I'm okay with that because I seem to always get
behind the family that isn't prepared to go through the line,
and I'm just stuck watching them try to hold their
toddler while fold up a suitcase and all that. So yeah,
let them have their own area so we can keep
this moving.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
All right, Shannon I'm good with this too. You got
families with strollers. Does the baby stay in the stroller?
Does it come out of the stroller?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
It's like a million things they're trying to figure out. Meanwhile,
I'm just trying to get by with my single suitcase.
I am all for this.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Initially, when I first saw it, I was like, eh, no,
because then you're just giving people with families more advantage.
But then I thought about you all, I hate being
stuck behind kids. We're like, eh, put up, You're not
like it's just too much.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Some families are big families that Yeah, we're just assuming
you're a family of four.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
What if you're a family of eight, Yes, and you
got the kids running around and smacking each other in
the face. And then like, so, yes, I'm actually I'm
good with this. Second, playgrounds in the airports.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh well, I mean, if you don't want kids bothering you,
you can hopefully put them all over there on the
slides and the monkey bars.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
So see again you're thinking like me.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
At first, I'm like, why am I wasting my money
to give the playground?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
But you know what, Yeah, if it'll keep.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Them from running around where I'm sitting then, Drew, I'm
actually pro playground.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
I'm pro playground, but I also think we should include
adult activities, and we just need more entertainment in airports,
like where's my where's my golf simulator? If I'm here
for three hours, we all need something to do.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Okay, you gonna give them a golf I can't.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Just sit at Chili's two for three hours drinking eighteen
dollars beers during my layover. I need some activities, all right.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
What about the next one is more nursing root like
rooms places.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I guess you can go women can nurse their children.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Again the way they we're getting your kids buy of
the way. I don't see this as.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
A lot of these seem to just be about getting
children away exactly.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Like if they're your kids, it's one thing, But if
it's somebody else's kids, you want them out of the way.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
It's like when they used to have the smoking rooms,
They're like, all right, y'all, just go in there.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
This is kind of the same thing. Just all right, Drew,
put all the kids over there, hurt.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Them, and it's just now hitting me. I'm looking this
from my perspective as a as a single kid liss guy.
I need to Actually I'm probably gonna I'm looking at
this the wrong way. All these things, I want all
of them. I need all the advantages.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
And then last they are talking about putting workout, uh,
workout bars, pull up bars and places to do push
ups and jogging in place. You could just you can
exercise in the airport, what not pull up bars?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
But I could jog in place. Look like a crazy
person over Why is this guy jogging in plaze? Get
my steps in?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Man?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I'm for that too, though, you know, especially if you get.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
A long layovers that I don't want that.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
I don't want people being all stinky on the planes,
dru like if you're out there out pulling and sweating,
I mean, where where you go, where you're gonna shower,
You're just gonna be stinky getting on the airport.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Hundred million dollars we can't find like enough money for showers.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Then you're talking public nudity in these places, Shan, Are
you for the gyms for adults?
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Absolutely not at golf simulators as far as I want
to go with a physical activity, because you're right, somebody
will be trying to show off some single guy will
be trying to work out next to a woman at
the gate and then he's not gonna shower and he's
getting up sitting by me, And I don't want to
be a part of that.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah, I don't know. Who are people that just want
to go to the airport and do pull ups? Who
are those people?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Is that you got sitting at Chili's too drinking?
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Airplanes are gross enough without people being sweaty and everything
in them. So I'm I'm for three of those four.
I'm out on the doing pull ups. Who's next, David,
Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
David, Yeah, good morning. I've bet mors friends call me
and asked me about a picture floating around about Jack
Kilger and Drew dean Aer about Kentucky fans booing, and
I need to set the record straight that picture that
was taken. In the picture that the picture was taken
was the North Carolina game and we were upset with
(21:04):
pretty boy Joe Lindsey after he made a call against
Otaga oh way, after he stole the ball at half
court and would have gone down for an uncontested too.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
So it was I mean, you're saying there's a picture
of you. I'm not I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
There's a picture. Well, we don't know who you are,
so you got to remember that. Oh there's a picture
of you. There's a picture of you booing that's being
used as an example of fans booing. But you're saying
you weren't booting the players. You were booing a referee
the game before we.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Were it was a North Carolina game. We were booing. Uh,
pretty boy, Joe lindsay after you made a call against
old Way at half court. Wait, well that's what I
call him. I'm sorry, but we would have got two
points out of that, but we didn't. And I just
want to set the record straight up. I wouldn't boo
Kentucky fans and uh, and I wouldn't boo the Kentucky team.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
You take the good with the bad and you go forward.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
That's okay, all right, fair enough, appreciate the call. I'm
not sure the picture he's talking about, but that's a
fair point. Sometimes, you know, when you use a picture
with the story, you might say picture of fans booing
and drew, it could be a different scenario than the
game where they were booing the players.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Yeah, I don't know the exact one. He's talking about
because there were several from Gonzaga, and then I guess
he's won from the game before, but also don't know
his name, but I'm glad to clear that up.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
And then moving forward, wonder Shanning about the videos of
people booing.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
During the Gonzaga game.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Yeah, there was a lot of people booing, but it
would be like individuals that were zeroed in on, and
I did wonder, like they're gonna get a lot of
people going, hey, man, were you booing at the game?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I did wonder what that was gonna look.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, I was, of course I was. If you weren't
in that arena, you weren't booing them.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Then do you feel sorry.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
For the people that become memes the fans, like when
they're sad about something during the game, or a girl
crying or a guy like, do you ever feel sorry
for those people? Like they don't know that's gonna be them.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I don't feel bad for them.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
It's kind of funny, you never you never feel bad,
But like, think about the ones that have become famous,
like the girl that was playing the flute during the
tournament Prime favorite, do you ever feel.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Sorry for those people?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
You're crying over a game. I mean real, let's get
into the root of it. You're crying because your team
lost and you're playing a flute and you're crying. No,
I don't feel bad for that person. Play your flute.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Just play your flute and shut up saying alright.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
He'll make them pay now.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's
Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. I five nine two eight
twenty two eighty seven. Uh text machine is seven seven
two four five two five four. By the way, game
seven o'clock tonight. Pregame shows at four point thirty. Be
it ks bar come say hello to everybody. Get a
pregame meal before this game that hopefully will not be competitive.
(24:08):
We will see one person rights. Matt Shannon is the best.
He doesn't care about being politically correct. He just says
what he thinks. That's true, he's right, Like that's good
for sire, But like that's that's why Shannon has to
be in the role he is.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
If Shannon was the only host, this show would be canceled.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
But by being by being in the role as the
guy chipping in, and I think that works. If he
was just if it was three straight hours of Shannon talking,
this show would have been canceled years ago. Personality, I do,
and I make sure and I know, like, okay, I
know when to ask Shannon things, Drew. There are times
I'm like, I think I know what he'll say. You
(24:48):
actually have a better idea of what Shannon is going
to say on any topic than almost anyone else, Like
Ryan has become the wild card.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
In his old age. Drew like, we don't know what
he's gonna say.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
It doesn't know he's gonna say next.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Yeah, sometimes mid sentence.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
That's the scary part when he doesn't even know what's
coming to come next.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
So like, like Drew, like today when you're there and
I'm not like like I usually I can see when
his brain is about to do something stupid. But when
I can't see him, I'm relying on you to get
him to shut up before he starts doing something like that.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
And it's it's a tough job when you're talking to
him and setting him up, and I you know, I
don't want to butt in and be like no, no, no,
stop stop. I see in his eyes. So it's like
a slippery slope here. I don't know when to intervene
and when not to.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
I'm gonna give you permission to just jump in and
go no, no, don't let him.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I'll see it because you and I know the look.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
He gets a look in his eyes like I'm gonna
say something funny, and that's usually a bad sign.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Especially when he gets that grin and it's gonna be
something perverted or you know something. We know he doesn't
need to say that.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
He didn't. He didn't used to be like that, did he?
On the on that stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
He's getting worse with his old age, he is. You
get that point to where you just don't care in life.
You know, I just gonna say it, and I don't.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Care if when they put in the hair plugs they
also added some something in no filter.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
They took his filter out.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Maybe that's uh, maybe that's what it was. What person rites, Matt?
What would each of you get?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Grade?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Will Stein on his first week as Kentucky football coach.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
He's only been a coach for a week. It feels
like a lot longer, but it's been one week. Considering
the press conference, in his early hirings and the fact
he's had to, you know, still do his job at
Oregon through.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
What kind of grade would you give will Stein for
week one?
Speaker 5 (26:39):
You know, other than the press conference, It's really hard
to grade him on much. He's added an offensive coordinator.
We have no idea how that.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Got a recruit, got a big time cruit.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
They did hold the signing class together. You got Darby
the receiver. Uh yeah, I'll give him an A minus.
There's only so much you can do right now, and
in the little things he's done, I have no reason
to complain about any of it.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, he got his OC quickly, so that's that's a
good positive. He won the press conference, But I feel
like it's hard to lose your introductory press coff.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
People have done it though, I mean like lost with
his dude. Yeah, but it is hard.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, I mean a weekend, I would say an A.
I don't. I don't know how you give him any
worse than an A.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Yeah, I give you. I give you an A minus.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
I thought the press conference was good, not necessarily perfect,
but good. I think that commitment was big, got staff going.
I gu his mom gets an A for the whole
cissy Cakes.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Thing is bumped up for me because of his mom
and sissy Cakes and that connection to the fan base.
That's added to the excitement.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Even though it's by the way, you can't get one
of those cakes.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
They're probably on the back order.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
I mean they are, like they're they're everywhere that she
was actually going to bring us some uh today, but
I wasn't.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
But uh like that that's been you talk about, talk
about bumping up your business. Your son gets hired chatting
and then your cake business takes off along with it.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Right, great for business. I mean they I don't know
that they can make cakes quick enough for the demand.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah, because there's yeah, I mean there's just too well
they may have staff, I don't know. But then to
to h main ones. So who's up first, Tory? Tory,
go ahead, Tory.
Speaker 10 (28:21):
Hey, Matt, So I know how to read, and I'm
not color blind. I think I could probably be your spotterer.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Yeah, but you have to have done it before, because
it's like it's all about calling. They're right, the plays
and the sets and and the numbers, and like I
do think there's like a repetition to it. I think
there needs to be. Since I have no experience, I
think I need someone with experience.
Speaker 10 (28:49):
I think the difference between someone that's done it for
their entire life and me is probably like a week.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Wow, that's so you're not Drew.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Doesn't sound like Tory's respecting the job of spotter very much.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Easy, Yeah, what does spotter do to your in your life?
At some point? Sounds like you just said angry against Spotter's.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Just doesn't believe that a spotter can I feel like Shannon,
there's a little more to it than that.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
There's gotta be. Yeah, I mean, I.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Guess they can say this.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
I guess they could say the same thing about me
as a play by playhost.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I have such little want to say.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
About Western Kentucky. I mean, think about that. What if
you went to Western Kentucky, which is like a broadcast
journalism school, and you don't get the opportunity to call
the game, but Matt Jones does, who has never done
this before in his life.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
But I have done radio right, so like you know,
they I appreciate the call.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
I have not done the mechanics of calling a football game,
which is almost which is certainly a unique skill. But
I have done mechanics of getting in out of breaks,
trying to keep a conversation flowing, trying to keep it interesting,
like it's not like it's gonna be dead air, right, Yeah, come,
I encourage me.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
You got this. You just need you just needs yourself
a good spoder.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
And like the difference between success and failure through is
whether or not I have a good spot.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
You just blame it on the spotter.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
If it sucks, exactly the spotter screwed it up, he
didn't spot that's right, and.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Let that be known. Mid game like second quarter, be like,
I've got to get a better spotterer if we're gonna
save this broadcast.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Am I gonna do like firing Hugh Freeze mid season?
I think game get a new.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Spotterer if you have to. If it gets to that point,
do you still have your PlayStation five? I think you should. Uh,
you should get the college football game and play with
these two teams, and that'll drill the rosters into your head.
That's how I used to to learn all the college
football rosters back in the day. Is playing that game
so much? Just keep playing Western versus Southern Miss over
and over and you'll have all of the guys memorized
(30:50):
with their numbers.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
It's actually a pretty good idea.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
I need to get Tom Lea to you know, because
you were right. He has that big card, Drew, But
I don't know what's on that card. Do you know
what's on it?
Speaker 6 (31:01):
No?
Speaker 5 (31:01):
It always looks so colorful and organized that.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah, it's color coded. Pronunciations for names. You need to
make sure you know how to pronounce it.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
Oh no, they take it serious.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Pull up, pull up the Western Kentucky and Southern miss roster,
and you you give me any names here, Let's do
this real quick.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Let's pull this.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
I want you to be prepared.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Yeah, now, let's do this. Let's let's pull it up
and let's see if there are names that I think one. Okay,
hang on, let me let me get let me get it.
Let me get it pulled up, because I need to
be able to see it. Western Kentucky football roster. All right,
let's see Western Kentucky football roster. What number are you
worried about?
Speaker 3 (31:47):
All right? Uh?
Speaker 2 (31:48):
He is number zero.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Zero? Are you talking about? Oh my goodness?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, good luck? Well, how would you say that? One?
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Macavelly Malow Tumo. Uh, this is gonna be great.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
See right there, that's when you throw the spot under
the bus. You say you were supposed to give me
the pronunciations.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
It was malatumal. That's hard to say mallow to ma
mao malotumalo. It's it's okay. Yeah, we're gonna have to
work on that one.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Uh, you might be clearer for the rust one. Let's
just hope that guy the rest of them.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Look up for the rest of them, look up cred
Dominic Oliver, I got him, mcmichol.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Connor Olson. I think you can say that one.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Robbie Harrison, Easy, Owen Lloyd, he's a good guy. Avarian
Cole like him, Cole Maynard.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Uh huh, what about right?
Speaker 5 (32:41):
A former cat? Just talk about him the whole game.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
They have a former cat Lavelle. Right. Yeah, they got
a guy named Phonsie.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
You're good zave On Tutu Griffin, he's got to be good,
right if his nickname is Toutu.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, we gotta look at the other team's roster. You're
from Western Kentucky. You're good on that.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Looks like that's all right on Western Kentucky. If I
can just do the guy named the number zero, I
think I got the rest of him.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
He's a defensive lineman too, so he may not even start.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
That's where you give him a cool nickname, Agent zero.
Just call him agent zero the whole game.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Look at this, Maybe I need to take crew you too,
actually understand me, right, like you could go just call
him agent zero.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, yeah, I know. Hey, Southern Miss has a guy
named Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Look at that. That's twenty minutes of content right there.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
That's a whole quarter.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
They have a guy. What position does Matt Jones play?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Bench?
Speaker 11 (33:39):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Running back?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
He's a ra Wait a minute, was that the guy
that was that old miss?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Maybe he's a red shirt?
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Actually, yeah, that's the guy that was that old miss.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Look at this so much to say, you're gonna neaed
overtime to get through all this content.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Look all right, number twelve on Southern Miss. How you
saying that?
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Yeah? See, I don't, I don't, I can't. I don't
have it pulled up with. What's that? What's how do
you spell it?
Speaker 2 (34:05):
G u y l I j a h. It's his
first name, guijlaka Kyle okay. Then his last name is
t h e O d u l e.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
The Oche.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
The ol Duel Okay, accept it.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Golijah Fiol think he was in Hamilton, writes me a
letter every day. Kentucky families are struggling to access what
should be basic essentials housing and childcare, not luxuries, not extras, essentials,
and the Kentucky Chambers focused on improving access to housing
and childcare for all ages and stages because Kentucky's family's
(34:45):
workforce and economy depend on Kentucky Chamber has been taking
this on for over a year now, and they're asking
you to help. Go to Opportunity starts here dot com.
That's Opportunities starts here dot com. Add your name and
tell lawmakers housing matters in Kentucky. It's Opportunity starts here
dot com With the Kentucky Chamber. We'll take a break
and be right back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Matt. Is this Leonard skinnered?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
It is? Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I feel like this is a song that, like the
Vanetties of the world come in as their intro music.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
A lot, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Probably though she.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Just feels like guys that like, I feel like if
Ryan hosted a show, he would come in with this
song A.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Lot and Leonard Skinner's a band that has no original
members but still tours.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I don't think that should be allowed. I've been very
clear about it.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
I mean, like, one hundred years from now, they're still
gonna be touring like Menudo. Right, it's not really Leonard
Skinner though.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
No it's not.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
But I don't like I think I think you should
only be able to continue the band if you have
the same lead singer, because that's who everybody's there to
see anyway, right, Yeah, but I mean.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Well, I mean then in that case ac DC wouldn't
have been around for the last years.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah, but that but I think their new lead singer
was good.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah. So you're saying there are exceptions.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
There are a couple of exceptions.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Van Halen's an exception when they went to Sammy Hagar, right,
and then yeah, ac DC, and that's it.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Nobody else house gets it, nobody else gets to do it.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,
text machine is seven seven to two seven seven four
five two five four one person rights. I'd like to
know from Frank Franklin specifically, will Kentucky make the tournament?
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Oh boy, uh, I'll say yes at this point, but
I'll admit it's way more comfortable than it should be
on December ninth. You cannot go zero to six in
your non conference schedule and then go into conference play
thinking you're in good standing. So I don't know if
I'm calling for them to win the next two, but
at least get one and then figure this out by
(36:49):
SEC play and you can sneak in as a non seed.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Yeah, I'm still gonna say yes, but it's because I
do have the hope that with low and quaintance, you're
gonna be better in diabate, So I'm gonna still say yes.
I also think the SEC is not very good, But
I think the key stretch for me is gonna be
(37:14):
pull up the basketball schedule. Theater you play Alabama in
your first game on the road. I have no confidence
we're gonna win that game. But then, if I remember correctly,
we've got like three or four games in a row
that are pretty winnable. Am I right about that?
Speaker 3 (37:27):
After? After?
Speaker 5 (37:28):
I'm not calling anything winnable right now, but yeah, we
go let's see, you're right, goes at Alabama, opens play,
then host Missouri and Mississippi State, and then you can.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Win we need to win those. Then what are the
what are the next two? What's the next row?
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Games?
Speaker 5 (37:44):
L s U and Tennessee back to back?
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Okay, so.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
That little string of Missouri Mississippi State at LSU. I
will decide whether or not this team is a tournament
team in those three games. If you're a tournament team,
you need to win all three of those games, especially
if you have a bad non conference those are gonna
be the three games. To me, if you lose any
of those games, you're probably gonna struggle to make the tournament.
(38:13):
So let's see that. To me is when I'll judge.
I mean, even if you're great, winning that Alabama's hard,
winning that Tennessee is hard. But those three games are
a tournament team should beat those two teams.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
At home and go win at LSU.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
So we'll see what what happens with those Who's next?
Speaker 2 (38:28):
The truth?
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Truth? How are your truth? Man?
Speaker 12 (38:33):
I just wanted personally to say this to you and
if you allowed me to do it, I'm praying for
your mother and your and your dad, and I know
what it is to go through metal gods dollar, but
I want to let you know you got a friend
and you know we cut up about sports. But it
(38:53):
ain't nothing like hem enough. I wish I had my
mom and my dad like you, and you have your
mom and dad. My heart go out for you. And
if you can, let me said just a little bit
prayer for you right on? Ks or is that all right?
Speaker 3 (39:11):
It is? Thank you, Father.
Speaker 12 (39:13):
I thank you for Matt jo and his family. Father
and God. I prayed that you knit them together. To
God you held his father. God, you bring strength and
love and come with them. But I asked you in
the name of Jesus. Amen. Thank you, Matt. I holler,
I'll holler at y'all Friday about Indiana. God bless you.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Thank you man. I appreciate that. That's very nice of you.
Who's next.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Let's go to Tim, Tim, go ahead, Tim.
Speaker 11 (39:44):
Hey Man, thanks for taking my call. Hey, I just
want to talk about Mark Pope just for a second.
A lot of people are saying that like maybe he's
on the hot seat, and maybe he is, but I
don't think so, although I would say, this poor performance
is got to be all on him, Like, you know,
(40:05):
he had to know the chemistry wasn't.
Speaker 12 (40:07):
Right before all of this happened. He just signed it out.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Yeah, Uh, you know, I appreciate the call. I don't know, Drew,
do you think he did. I mean, I've kind of
thought after the Louisville and Michigan State game, at times
he seemed as sort of baffled by it as everybody else,
don't you.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
Yeah, he's out a loss for words, and maybe you
have some bad apples that he didn't see in recruiting,
and you can chalk it up to that. But you know,
if next year, if we have another team where we're like, well,
these guys don't fit again either, you really have to
get concerned. Because remember a big part of his message
in recruiting is he says no to guys because they're
not the right fit. You know, we'll miss a guy
(40:49):
in the portal and justifyed by like, well, the meeting
with Pope didn't go well, he doesn't fit Kentucky. Well,
the guys you settled on obviously aren't fitting very Kentucky
very well either. So that worries me about in recruiting
because he's supposed to be so select about who he's getting.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
Yeah, what has been sort of odd to me is
to watch how much he has seemed unable to figure
out what was going on that has been a little
disconcerting to me. P rats has been locally owned and
operated for over seventy five years, serving the Bluegrass with appliants, furnitures,

want to give away your tickets, I've had a bunch
of people send them to me Matt dot Jones at
Kentucky Sports Radio. We will give them away this afternoon
to people who haven't who aren't able to use. And
I want to thank the Truth for that. You know,
(42:05):
it's crazy how the world works. Just a second before that,
I got on the text machine and somebody had written
something actually somewhat bad to me, and I was like,
how could somebody say that? And then you get back
on and you get that, and you know, that's a
dude who's been calling this show for fifteen years. And
(42:27):
I can't tell you how much that meant to me.
And I appreciate it, man, And thank you guys very
much everybody for listening. Enjoy the game tonight. I will
