Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone. It is the local twenty dealers KSR postgame show.
The Cats win a relatively sluggish effort tonight over Colgates
seventy eight sixty seven in Rapparna, and now get ready
for the big robbery game next Saturday against Louisville. You
can give shout love to hear from you. It's one

(00:21):
of these people sometimes say to me, Matt, what are
the what are the hardest shows to do? And the
there's like two different conds. It's usually you know, if
they lose on a Tuesday night on the road at
like Old miss a late game, people go to bed.
We have a game like that this year at Oklahoma

(00:43):
and then December games against bad teams. So this is
a good time to get in a five to nine
two eight h twenty two eighty seven. So I said
on the pregame show that I expected this game to
be closer than the thirty point spread that I expect.
Did Colgate to slow Kentucky down? And I thought they

(01:04):
did a lot of things really well. I mean, Kentucky
came out on a seventeen to nothing run to start
the game, and I'm sure, like most people, the players
sort of thought well, we're good, and then they played
like it for about the next twenty minutes. Colegate even
got the lead by one point, which is kind of
amazing when you start seventeen to nothing. But to Kentucky's credit,

(01:27):
in about a minute and a half a game action,
they went from down one to up eleven, Jackson Robinson
hitting two big threes that I thought were the most
important shots of the game than Trent Noah getting a
big one. Trent played good minutes off the bench tonight,
getting real minutes and taking advantage. And then, of course
all game Kobe Brea, who went five for eight from

(01:49):
three and really was the most important player in the
win for me. I mean this game. We won't remember
this game. I don't think it particularly matters your sandwich
between really three big games at Clemson, at Gonzaga, then
Louisville Saturday. This is an easy game to forget. Honestly,

(02:10):
most of the year I forgot this game was even happening.
I thought they were taken doing finals this week and
there wasn't even a game. So I'm sure the players
are like that too. Look, I mean, you just won
a massive game against one of the best teams in
the country on their court and then you got the
biggest rival next week. It's easy to overlook this, but
what's odd is that they actually started seventeen to oh,

(02:32):
so it wasn't like they overlooked at the beginning. I
just think they got complacent. I think you also see
how this team really needs Lamont Butler. I mean, I
know we won against Gonzaga, but I think for this
team to be good, you really need Lamont Butler in
part because it frees up Jackson Robinson. He went two
for eleven from three now to two. He hit we're big,

(02:54):
but he needs to not have to create as much.
I don't think that's really his role. Butler can do that.
You know, the bench, with the bench really didn't have
a great game. I mean, if you look at it
right now, Kentucky's bench points total was nine. That's probably
the lowest that it will be all season. Nine points

(03:15):
off the bench. All the starters were in double figures.
But you know, they need LaMonte Butler back, and with
Kirk Kresa gone, I think it's going to be important
for you know, I don't think Travis Perry looks comfortable yet.
I don't really think Colin Chandler looks comfortable yet Trent Noah.
Maybe he's the guy right, maybe he's the guy to
get some of those minutes. But whatever it is, you know,

(03:38):
we've seen a pattern. Kentucky, by the way, has won
the second half in every game this year they've played.
They are what ten and ozero in second halves, but
the first halves. You know, Cats have got to be
a little more on it because I think obviously Pope's
become a king of halftime adjustments. But you know, when

(03:59):
you get an sec play, there're gonna be some games
that they'll drop if they don't have better first halves.
And hopefully tonight is a little bit of a wake
up call. Ultimately, two basketball takeaways I had while watching it.
Number One, I wish that well three Actually. Number one,
I wish Kobe Bran would shoot more from three. I

(04:21):
think I heard when they were doing the replays Jack
Gibbons say this during the game. I'm all for a
pump fake, but man, you're like the best shooter in
the country. Shoot. I wish he took eight threes. Watching
the game, I thought he could have taken fourteen, and honestly,
in part of the game we needed him to, so

(04:41):
I kind of wish he would shoot more. It's almost
too unselfish, which gets me to the second point, which
is I do think this team overpasses a little bit,
especially down low. I love the passes on the perimeter
and the way they go they pass to get an
open look, but I do think especially with Oway Brea.

(05:02):
I don't think it happens so much with Robinson, but
Oway and Braya especially like they get in the paint
on a drive and then it's I appreciate the fact
they're always looking for a lob, but sometimes I think
they're giving up a good shot for a high risk,
better shot that might not go in. I'd rather have.
If Kobe Brea has the lane for a layup, I'd

(05:23):
almost rather him take it than try to throw a
contested lob to one of the bigs. It's a nitpicky thing,
but I do think we overpass sometimes. And then third,
I actually thought that Mariy Williams played pretty good tonight. Dunk.
It reminds me of when I was a kid. Larry
used to always sort of when Jared Prickett played, he

(05:46):
would say why doesn't he dunk? Because he would always
sort of try to Bunny a layup and he would
miss it. I feel that way about Amari and then
to some extent, Garrison, but really Amary Moore, like Dunk,
you know, his touch is not as good as his power.
I hope I wish he would do that a little
bit more. But again, Saturday is what matters Kentucky and Louisville.

(06:07):
Louisville struggle tonight. They only won by three at home
against UTEP. They were down a lot of that game,
but they'll give Kentucky a fight, and I think Kentucky's
gonna have to play better than they did today to win.
Pope says he thinks he'll know if Lamont Butler is
gonna play Saturday based on how he feels tomorrow, because
I think they gave him like his first really major

(06:28):
workout today. I hope he does. I think I feel
really good about Kentucky's chances if he plays. But if
he doesn't play, I think it could be a game.
And you know, Louisville's had actually kind of a brutal schedule,
and they you know, he played Kentucky. I think they
still have to play North Carolina maybe right after Kentucky

(06:49):
and when you consider Duke Old Miss Tennessee, they've had
a tough go of it. They need to win one
of these if they're gonna make the tournament, and I
don't want us to be the one that they win. Eight.
I'm nine two eight zero twenty to eighty seven Cats.
Not much of a night of college basketball. Outside of Kentucky.
The NBA Cup is going Billy. Do you like the
NBA Cup or have you followed it at all?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I'm watching it right now, but it's hard to watch.
The courts are so bad.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
You hate the court.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
I cannot tells.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
You something different's going on, though right it does.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
It does give that effect, but.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, it is tough, like like I think the Rockets court.
The ones that are really red or like bright yellow
like Indiana's, those to me are the hardest ones to
look at.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, I'm looking at the red one now. It's I
can't believe the players are able.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
But I do like that. It does feel like for
these games the guys are into it a little bit more.
The crowd in Houston here I was watching during the
post game is much more into it than a regular
NBA crowd would be, So I guess that's good. But yeah,
do you remember who won last year?

Speaker 3 (07:54):
The Lakers?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Right? Okay, now here's the big question. Do you remember
who they beat in the final game? H No, come on,
you gotta take against first of all, you know, Western
Conference versus Eastern Conference? The Eastern Conference team? Who did
they play in the finals?

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Was it like Cleveland?

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:12):
So the shot in the dark?

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Who is it? Indiana? They beat Indiana in the final?

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oh yeah, I was I remember that now, Halibert.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
So now they've got what Milwaukee, Atlanta and Oklahoma City,
So those will be good games if they end up
playing them. I'm nine to zero, twenty to eighty seven
will take your cross. What do you think about the team?
The game? They they released the UK football schedule for
next year. We'll spend a lot of time on that
tomorrow on the show. But for my belief, that's it's

(08:42):
about the hardest first seven games I remember Kentucky ever
having in football. Uh. That's got to make it puts
Mark stoops and even more, I guess what more of
a hot seat next year? Having to start with starts
with Old Miss Georgia, Old Miss Georgia, South Carolina, Texas Tennessee.

(09:03):
Those are the first five SEC games. That is going
to be a difficult schedule. Eight five nine two Aho
twenty two eighty seven. We will take a break, take
your calls. Cats win by eleven. This is the Local
Toy Dealers KSR postgame show, Wartermack. It is a Local
Toy Dealers KSR post game show. Eight five, nine to
two eight h twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is

(09:25):
seven seven to two seven seven four five two five
four one person Rightes matt Our family has decided to
drop football season six next year and do baseball instead.
I think you're gonna still want to go to the football.
I mean, that's a great home schedule next year, Billy,
isn't it. You get Texas, Old Tennessee, and Florida all

(09:46):
at home. I mean that's all lost sure when come
on now? Well, I mean it's the schedule you want
if you want to make a run, right, because you
get the good teams at home. But if you're a
team that's struggling, it's the worst schedule you can get
because you get the weaker teams on the road. So, like,

(10:08):
it all depends on how you look at it. There
have been years that I would love for Kentucky to
have had a schedule like they have next year, but
I'm not sure this year is the one one person rights, Matt.
If we get Lamont Butler back, I think we're fine.
But you can tell how much we miss them exactly right.
He is a huge loss, especially an initiating half court

(10:31):
offense and in guarding the other team's point guard. I
you know, I honestly think we have we have two
good defenders in my opinion, Butler and o Way. And
when when you don't have Butler, you put Away on
the on their number one guy, but then Jackson Robinson's

(10:51):
having to guard their number two, and then you end
up with like Brea, who's not a very good defender.
You know, it's you struggle against teams that can move
on the without Butler. It will be very good to
have you back, all right, who's up first?

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Chuck?

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Chuck, go ahead, Chuck, get it, Matt? What's going on?

Speaker 5 (11:12):
I'm doing well?

Speaker 6 (11:13):
I I what's the game today? A lifelong fan, I'm
nineteen years old. I'm a freshman at Alabama, and I
get a lot of hate every day. I get a
lot of hate for cheering for Kentucky every day.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Tell you that. So you're a freshman at Alabama. Are
you already out of school?

Speaker 7 (11:31):
Yees, sir?

Speaker 1 (11:32):
All right, so you're out of school, you're freshman Alabama.
You cheer for Kentucky. You're not like one of these
Kentucky basketball Alabama football fans, right, that's like too easy
of a live.

Speaker 8 (11:43):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (11:44):
I know.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
Well, I'm from Kentucky. My my family's from Lowell County.
My grandma from Harlan, just like Trenton Noah. And I
believe Blue until I die, and I get I mean,
I get a lot of hate for it. I went
to the game today and you know, I know, you
talk a lot on the show about the difference between
the football fans and the basketball fans, and I got

(12:07):
yelled out, nurt start. Sorry, I got yelled at by
two different groups of people today for standing up at
the game and sharing on the team.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
All right, now, what wait a minute, what was your
first name again?

Speaker 9 (12:19):
It's Chuck?

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Okay, so Chuck. I got this text message from a
friend of mine's son. By the way, Billy, my friends
now have sons that are in college. That's crazy to me. Uh,
his name's Lawson and he's actually in college like you are.
I think he goes to Miami. And he wrote me
and said, oh, he was with you. Okay, well that

(12:42):
makes it okay, Well that makes it have a lot
more sense. So you went with loss and okay, so
you all had this together. He wrote and said, my
friend and I were at the game. I guess that's you.
What a small world billy, right? And that is that's right? Uh,
he said, my friend and I were at the game.
We ended up getting in an argument with some people
for stay during the game. I don't understand why people

(13:03):
were telling us to sit down and stop cheering, even
though it's a one possession game. So you're big on
you should be able to stand and cheer, and I'm
with you. I'm all for the standing up craft. I
the only thing I don't like about Kentucky basketball fans
is the lower level at Reparena telling people to sit down.
This is a basketball game, it's not an opera. I'm

(13:23):
on your side, Chuck, and I'm on lost in side.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
I agree it was. They were so rude about it too,
and you can tell that they've probably done this before.
I've never I've never experienced something like this at at
a scoring event in my life.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Well tell them to shut up. Well, be nice, I mean,
don't yell at them, but say you're going to stand
down time.

Speaker 6 (13:45):
And the second time, when they were really rude about it,
I told them, I said, if you want to watch
the game without people in front of you, you can
watch it on TV or get better tickets.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
All right, Well, thank you, Chuck. I appreciate the call. Billy,
where are you on that? Should you be able to stand? Yes?

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Absolutely, this is a sporting event.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Is the only thing I would say is be be courteous.
So like, if you have somebody behind you who maybe
for whatever reason, has a health issue or can't stand,
I do can try to consider that. But in general,
especially in moments in the game where it's exciting, you
should I am for standing, and I think the culture

(14:24):
that's developed at RUP over the years where you only
stand occasionally and if people stand, you're mad. I don't
like it now when I go to games and people
stand in front. But I was at the Kentucky like
Old Miss football game and people stood the entire game.
It's just what they did. And I'm not saying we

(14:45):
have to stand the entire game. But you can't get
mad at nineteen year old kids who are excited and
are standing up. So what a coincidence that those that do?
You not think that's weird that the guy, the kid
who wrote me and that went to the game with
that kid that called You don't think that's I'd.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Say a lot of people that exit rupp Arena after
a game. Listen to the postgame matter.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
I know, but but there's twenty thousand people in there.
You don't think it's random that the two people went together.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
No, No, yeah, you're right. It's small world out there.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
You're not You don't think that's nearly as cool as
I do? All right? Who's they don't even go to
the same school. I think one of them goes anyway?

Speaker 10 (15:20):
All right, Tanner, go ahead, Hey Matt, this is Tanner
Diggers from from Sandy Hook, Kentucky, Sandy Hook. Before you
getting my question here?

Speaker 1 (15:29):
That's that is that that's Rocky Adkins Territory, right, that
is everything in that town is named after Rocky Adkins. Right,
go ahead, you got it out there?

Speaker 10 (15:40):
Oh yeah, before getting my question here? Oh yeah, Keith too,
Oh yeah, before you getting my question here. I don't
want to. I guess kind of hit on a little
a couple other things. So obviously with the point guard
situation as we all know right now, as you mentioned,
with Butler being out with his injury and kind of

(16:01):
into just a shape that the point ward situation is
right now, and then that's also allowed Robertson to kind
of playoff position from what I've you know, from what
I've seen, but he did have a good game against Gonzaga.
I believe you know, in my opinion here, I think
we're leaning on people maybe from the bench, particularly Travis
Perry hast seen to not you kind of see he's

(16:23):
just kind of out of sword. He's more of a
catch and shoot type of players. I'm better you're coming
off screens.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, but they're not going to be running screens for
Travis Perry. I mean, like he's he's not. I mean,
they're they're they're not gonna be running offense for Travis
Perry or those guys. They have to, I mean, they
have to do what they do can do to contribute,
and it may mean that they can't. Look, I don't
if this were a game against a team that really

(16:50):
had a shot to beat us, the minutes would have
been distributed very differently. They'd have probably played those I mean,
that's what we did against Gonzaga. We played the five
starters most of the second half in overtime. I mean,
I so those guys got were getting a chance with
Travis and Chandler and Noah and even Almanor and those guys,
they were getting more run. But if this were against

(17:10):
you know, Alabama, in this game, you've just seen five
guys out there most of the time.

Speaker 10 (17:16):
Yeah, Oh, absolutely, absolutely, I'm right. So now, okay, getting
in my question here now though, So I'm kind of
tweeted at you here probably the past couple of weeks,
if you or not. But it's in regards to Calm
Porter at Liberty University. He's a point guard there. He's
a junior this year. He's been there, he started all
three years. He actually played at Ashland Blazer hostage.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 10 (17:39):
Yeah, Okay, So what I've been honestly think, you know,
you know, you got Trent, no you got Noah and Perry,
two Kentucky kids. Why not maybe next season going going
in the next one?

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well might it depends on It depends on who they
need I mean, it depends on what their rosters are.
You know, I appreciate the You know, I don't you
think you can get another year out of a way.
So I think you got a first determined will you
get another year out of him? You got Garrison. You
gotta see if all three of those guys that you

(18:13):
just mentioned end up coming back, and then you've got four.
You got three and we'll probably end up being four freshmen.
So I mean, let's assume all of those people come.
Now you have nine guys, so you're gonna go get
three transfers. But like you gotta be very careful who
you get. You can't just get a kid cause he's

(18:33):
from Kentucky. You gotta get a kid that you think
is gonna contribute. And maybe he would. I don't know,
but I think they would have to look at the roster.
You know. My guess is next year in the portal,
they'll go get a point guard to pair with with
Jasper Johnson. But whether it's him or somebody else, I
think will depend on how Pope sees sees his system

(18:57):
being run. Who's next?

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Elliott, Elliott, go ahead.

Speaker 11 (19:00):
Elliott, Hey, Matt, how's it going Doing good?

Speaker 12 (19:06):
Good.

Speaker 11 (19:07):
Hey, I liked what I've seen from Trent Noah to
not just his defense and hit that three, which seemed
to a lot the crowd up. Do you think that
he could become more like a Derek Willis player.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well, I think before he's done he's gonna be really good.
I don't think this year he's gonna there. I mean
he's gonna play a lot. I just don't. I mean,
I you know he played tonight. I think he'll get
another chance to play some minutes against Brown h and
I think those are his chance. I mean, he certainly
helped his cause tonight, But I mean, when Butler's back,

(19:45):
you're gonna have four or five guys ahead of him,
and I think they've shown that this team does better
when they go small rather than excuse me when if
he's gonna play, it's with Carr at the five and
him playing a small four. But I just don't think
he'll I don't think he'll play a lot. But before

(20:06):
he's done at Kentucky, yes, I do think he can
have like a Derek Willis type role. But do I
think it'll happen this year? No, I don't.

Speaker 11 (20:18):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Thank you appreciate it I mean, I you know, and
that's not a criticism. Look, I mean you look at Chandler,
Noah and Perry, all those guys I think have a
chance to be contributors, significant contributors at this school before
they're done. I think Chandler has a chance to be
a star. But you know, when I watched them, this

(20:40):
is what I was thinking looking at Perry and Noah
and Chandler Today, Billy, if you look at the rest
of our players and you look at them, you see
the difference in four years of college weight training.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah, No, I'm serious, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, just go look at those, dude, Because those other
guys are twenty two to twenty three years old and
Noah and Perry are like eighteen and nineteen. That's a
big difference. And sometimes we would see that at Kentucky.
We'd play some of these guys when Cow's here, and
we'd have these little freshmen and we'd be playing against
grown men. We're the grown men this year, and this,

(21:17):
by the way, is the last year where you're gonna
have fifth year guys a lot of them playing, So
I don't think the gap will be as large in
the years to come. Who's next, Robbie, Robbie, go ahead, Robbie.

Speaker 8 (21:30):
Hey, first time, long time, Matt.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Who are what's up?

Speaker 7 (21:34):
Well, it's Williams. I'll be honest with you. As I
watched the game to night, I think he's a little lazy.
He doesn't block out. I saw a lot of times
where you got other guys jumping on the on the
ball and really going after it.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
I wouldn't say lazy, but I will say I wouldn't
say lazy, but I do know what you're talking about.
I noticed this even in the Gonzaga game as well,
Like if there's a loose ball, he does something that
I see coaches complain about a lot. He bends down
to get it. Where's the other guy? Like falls on
the floor and gets it, you know what I mean?

(22:16):
And usually the guy who does that is gonna have
a better chance. I wouldn't say he's he's lazy. I
don't think that's fair, but I would say that, you know,
maybe sometimes he's at eighty five ninety percent effort. I
do think in big plays he plays great defense, but
he can't get beaten sometimes with effort.

Speaker 7 (22:37):
Well, I think he gets caught ball watching like he's
he's standing there watching the ball go up, but he
doesn't go after it. You know what I'm saying. I mean,
giving that one hundred percent effort to go for the
ball makes sense.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
No, I agree, I agree, and and like I said,
I appreciate the call. Sometimes I wish he went up,
would go up and dunk and not just right to
finesse it around the rim. He is, however, when he's
when he's locked in, he's a good shot blocker, he's
he's pretty good at pick a roll defense. He got better,
especially in that game the other night. He was bad.

(23:13):
At the first half. They were getting they were torching them,
but then in the second half he started, uh, he
started playing it better. I still think all these guys,
you know, they did a pretty good job this year
until tonight. And when you play these teams that shoot threes,
like get out on them, make them beat you off
the dribble. We didn't do a great job of that tonight,
and we have most of the year. They lay way

(23:36):
too far off these guys, And I don't understand that
because these dudes are not going to beat you at
the rim. But who's next, Jaden? What's up? Jaden?

Speaker 9 (23:46):
And I don't know how much he's been following NDA
this year, but I've been looking at like and they're
only for it And do they like any concerns about
the career.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
No, don't. I mean, it's it is. I've been surprised, well,
I've been surprised with both of them, Sheppard dealing him
the minutes they've gotten, so they're two different situations. I
think Reid's problem is he's on a team with five
guards that are all pretty good, and because of that,

(24:19):
he just can't get minutes. I don't want anyone to
get hurt, but I think if someone were to get hurt,
you'd start to see more minutes. But that the Rockets
have been healthy all year. I also think if I
were I'd like to see him playing instead of van Fleets.
But but van Fleet's getting the minutes, and look, the
Rockets are good, so that's why he's not playing. He's
just he's got the burden of being on a good team.

(24:39):
I think with Dillingham, his defense kills him, like I mean,
when they put him in, he gets torched. And that
was his problem here too. He couldn't really guard anybody.
He'll be fine, but he might not play a lot
this year because because he's just defensively, he's a liability.

Speaker 13 (24:57):
Yeah for sure.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
So yeah, I appreciate the call, but I on read
especially he's not played as much as I thought he would.
But the problem is he's on a team that's good
and has five guards, a couple of whom are having
like the best years of their career. So he just
he got some bad luck with with where he ended up.
All Right, we'll take a break a f I'm nine
to eight zero twenty two eighty seven Cats within an

(25:20):
eleven point win against the Colgate.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
What is Colgate's nickname Raiders?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
The Raiders? I don't know that I ever knew that
Actually is Colgate named after the same Colgate that does
the toothpaste.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Don't know, but I'm going to assume.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
So once you look that up during the break, so
that you can give us the history of this fine
university that we played for.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Okay today, all right.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
We'll take a break and be right back. This is
the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame Show. Welcome back. It
is the Local Toy Dealers KSR Post game Show. All right,
So I've been having people Billy for the last week
or so writing me about one of our commercial and
I had not heard it until right then. Do you
do you? Can you play the commercials? Yeah? Do you

(26:07):
want to?

Speaker 14 (26:07):
So?

Speaker 1 (26:07):
This is the commercial. For those of you that you
know or maybe listening on podcasts, you don't get all
in commercials, this is the commercial for Red State Barbecue,
and I want you to just hear. I mean, you
can hear me talking, But for those of you listen
at home, I want you to listen into the background
because I believe that Ryan Lemon may have made an

(26:32):
appearance in one of my commercials. Let me see, Red
State Barbecue products are now everywhere. Let me give you
the latest select Kroger locations across Kentucky, southern Ohio, and
southern Indiana. Same thing at Liquor Barn in Lexington, Danville,
and Eatown. They're in Jungle Gym in Fairfields and Cincinnati.
Do you hear that?

Speaker 8 (26:52):
Is?

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Did he just decide to clear his throat in the
middle of my commercial?

Speaker 3 (26:58):
I had not heard that until a minute.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
So for people who don't know, we tape these commercials
a lot of them after the show, and often I'll
do mine and then if Ryan has one, he'll do
his and he will keep the headset on. And did
he just decide to croak like a frog in the
middle of my commercial?

Speaker 3 (27:16):
I mean he was sitting right next to you. He
had to know you were doing.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Did he not think that I was like? I mean,
play that one more time. Listen, listen to his his
flim Red State Barbecue products are now everywhere. Let me
give you the latest select Kroger locations across Kentucky, southern Ohio,
and southern Indiana. Same thing at Liquor Barn and Lexington,
Danville and heat Town. They're in jungle gym in Fairfields

(27:40):
and listen. He sounds like marg Simpson's sisters there. Well,
I'm trying to do MyD He needs to apologize to
Red State Barbecue for that. What a good about gross?

Speaker 3 (27:54):
He goes up there with the local taco spot.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
I think, nice job, Brian, Did you look up I did?

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Let me give you a little history lesson. Colgate has
actually had four different names throughout its time as a college.
In eighteen nineteen, it was founded as the Baptist Education
Society of the State of New York.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
And then it sounds like a college. It sounds like
a club.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
In eighteen twenty three, it was renamed to the Hamilton
Theological and Literary Institution, Okay, and then it was changed
to Madison College, but the name was later changed to
Colgate University due to a significant donation by James Colgate,
the son of William Colgate, the founder of the company
that made Colgate two.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
See. I can't imagine doing that, right, Like, I can't imagine.
Just think about the ego. You have to have to
give an amount of money and say, it's one thing
if you like endow the college, right, so if it
was the blank school of whatever kind of thing. But

(28:52):
if you went to a college and then you go,
I'm gonna give you money, but you have to change
the name of the college to me, can you imagine
doing that, going to Transylvania and saying, all right, Transylvania,
I'm gonna give you five hundred million dollars, but it's
now gonna be called Matt Jones cop Like, can you

(29:15):
imagine like that? I just feel like the ego has
to be so huge to do that.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yeah, the ego's strong.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
So you think they come in with that stipulation that
you get the money if you change the name.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
I I can tell you for a fact that at
a number at least two schools I know of in doubt,
like colleges or whatever, were named only if the name
got on Wow. Now sometimes they will force the name

(29:46):
on it when the person doesn't want it, so I
know UK for instance. That's one of the things I
really like about about Joe and Kelly Craft is that
actually they've given donation and things and have specifically said,
don't put our names on it. And UK, I think
on the Craft Center specifically like told him we're doing

(30:07):
it whether you want us to or not. But there
are definitely people who do that. But the whole college
is another.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Level, right, yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah, Transylvania, you're now Matt Jones here five mil Yeah,
I don't he won't to worry. That's not gonna happen.
So but all right, who's up next?

Speaker 3 (30:26):
Bones?

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Bones? How are you? Bones?

Speaker 5 (30:30):
I'm good man. I got a couple of things.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Man.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
How good is it to get to Kentucky? Went on
my birthday?

Speaker 8 (30:34):
Man?

Speaker 5 (30:35):
Forty one today?

Speaker 1 (30:36):
That's what I was hoping for. Bones, Happy birthday, you're
forty one years old.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
Yes, sir, thank you? And number two is there any
way we could get Seth Greenberg to stop doing anything
to do with Kentucky. He is so and Cols fackey.
Way he called the Arkansas game about how good they
were when it was really Michigan failing. I can't stand it.
And then tonight it was all come and it wasn't Kentucky.

(31:01):
And then number three, How great is it for us
to get this experience? Now it sucks not having Robinson
and Kerr, but to be able to win in several
different ways when most people thought it was only gonna
be the three that would carry us. We're getting better
and better.

Speaker 8 (31:16):
Come March.

Speaker 5 (31:17):
I'd be scared to play us again.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah, well, I appreciate call. Yeah on set I mean,
I've always got along with set he he's become, you know,
not the nicest to me because of cow. But I
will say it is clear when you listen to him
doing Kentucky stuff, like, it is clear he wants to
kind of make sure, Hey, Kentucky fans col still great, right,

(31:44):
like he it's very important to him to do that.
I didn't. I don't think it's so much like building
up to I think he likes smart Pope, but you know,
I think he sent a tweet today, didn't he, Billy.
It was like you Kentucky fans need to stop worrying
about or whatever. You know. Let me tell you it
never works. Ever, is when announcers who are not part

(32:05):
of Big Blue Nation tell us what to do.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Billy today, I ever think that's gonna work. It's never worked.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
I've been doing this for twenty years. I've watched everyone
from Pat Forty to Jeff Goodman, uh, you know, to
Jay Williams, to Michael Wilbond to Seth Greenberg. We're not
gonna listen to any of you all, So I don't
know why they feel the need to do that like
our fans. Our fans don't even they barely listen to me. Billy,

(32:32):
There're cerly not gonna listen to Seth Greenberg tell him
how to feel.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
I heard Tom Hart was on fire tonight.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Tom Hart was great tonight. Right mentioned the sage. You know,
he's mentioned inconsistencies and taking it to the next level.
That was an old school Tom's not done one of
those in a while. He's I think he knew we
were playing Coldgate. He brought it tonight. Uh. And if
you're listening Tom salute, and you were in town. You
didn't even call us. Come on, what's next, Thomas, Thomas,

(32:59):
go ahead.

Speaker 13 (33:00):
Thomas, Hey, Kogate brought it tonight. But how about this
gonna be our crappiest game of the year. We're at
a by seventeen. We will win about eleven. I'm just
telling you that's gonna be our crappiest game of the year.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
That'll be our worst game. Well I hope it's our
worst game, sir. It's our worst game so far. Yeah,
and we still want And I actually thought besides the
ones telling Losson and Chuck to sit down, I actually
thought the crowd got into it at the right moment too.

Speaker 13 (33:30):
Since it props out there's a Union County native Larry
Johnson played seventy.

Speaker 8 (33:34):
Three seventy four and a hard time right now healthwise.

Speaker 13 (33:37):
They lost to us LA, but need some prayers. But
Larry Johnson was an incredible guard for the UK back
in the day seventy six seventy seven, and need some prayers.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
So all right, I appreciate you saying that, and prayers
start to to Larry. Yes, a former Kentucky player, prayers
to that the family, Thank you very much. Hey, if
I'm nine to two eight zero twenty eighty seven. Also,
I'm not sure. I'm not sure the specifics, but if

(34:08):
you heard Tom at one point during the game, also
gave a shout out to uh Oscar Combe saying to
feel better. Yeah, I don't know what the what the
details are on that, but uh, you know, Oscar is
a legend. I wouldn't have a career if it wasn't

(34:29):
for Oscar, So prayers to him as well. I think
hopefully he's doing he's doing okay.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
It was up next Hunter's next, Hunter.

Speaker 14 (34:37):
Go ahead, Hunter, Hey Man, Hey Billy, Hey, you guys
doing doing good? Yeah, you stole one of my points.
I was gonna mention the Red State commercial because I
heard it going into the postgame and I was so confused.

Speaker 8 (34:51):
I was like, what is that?

Speaker 1 (34:53):
I mean, you had yes, you had to have guessed
it was right right, Like, I mean, of all the
pa it was fairly so when you hear a sound
like that, it probably is going to trace back to Ryde.

Speaker 14 (35:04):
Yeah, it's it's another one of those inconsistent behaviors.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
It's exactly right.

Speaker 14 (35:12):
Yeah, I just got a couple of points. I just
wanted to say, I didn't really get the chance to.
I was actually at the Salt Lake romo. I'm the
one that you've mentioned about the girlfriend. Just want to
say thank you guys to come in.

Speaker 10 (35:22):
To Salt Lake.

Speaker 14 (35:23):
It's awesome seeing you guys in person.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yes, well, thank you, and thank you for bringing your girlfriend,
taking your Prestonsburg charm to the Utah ladies.

Speaker 8 (35:34):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 14 (35:36):
And then the other two things that I noticed, especially
listening to this game I was listening to on the radio,
I kept thinking back of my head, I hate talking
about cal especially like you know, he can go do
his own thing. But I kept thinking in my head,
this would have been his Evansville UNC will meets him
the yearly lost, like this would have been one of them.

Speaker 13 (35:54):
In my opinion, it could have been.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
I mean, I you know, I actually think, you know,
don't throw any tomatoes at me, but I actually think
this is the kind of game that he usually did
well against, because this would have been a game where
I do think like athleticism could have overwhelmed this team
and we are really good. What I think is interesting
about Mark Pope teams, at least this team, We're gonna

(36:18):
have some great athletes next year, but this team, because
we don't have elite athletes. I think we actually are
so different in these games than we used to be.
Like we're gonna give teams problems that they have more
talent than us, but they are also gonna be games
like this one, where like we're better, but we can't

(36:40):
just simply overpower them with athleticism because we just don't
have those guys. And then if you're cold, you get
a situation like we had tonight. If we shot well,
I think we win this game by twenty five, but
we didn't. And you know, the kind of teams that
gave Cal hard time are teams that ran very like

(37:01):
like complicated systematic offense, and uh, and I just don't
think Colgate would have been good enough to do that.
So I actually disagree with you. I don't think he
would have lost this game, but I also don't think
he would have won the Kenzaga game.

Speaker 14 (37:13):
So yeah, that's a fair point. And then the last
thing I'll leave with and I'll hang up. I called
back in the Bucknell postgame, and I told you about
the BYU doing that cruise for Nil. I wanted to
hear who you would want on that cruise and why
I'll hang up and listen.

Speaker 13 (37:30):
Thank you guys.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Yeah, if you were to do a UK cruise for
an Iowa, I mean you could get you know, I
mean it depends how you could get. The problem is
we have like such huge stars that are part of UK. Like,
I mean, are you gonna be able to get John
Wall to get on a boat, Billy, I don't know
if he's going to do that, right, get on a cruise.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
It's a commitment, it's like a week.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
There's a lot of people that would do it. I
mean you could get Mark. I'm sure Jack would, and
and and Kyle Mason do it. Yeah. I don't think
you're going to be a big draw for the Anile cruise.
I mean I think you're one of the people, like
on a concert flyer names that are smaller at the bottom.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
I'm the one of the one of those names.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah, they'll be they'll have you. I don't have like
you know, I don't want to offend people by putting
the money, but I was yeah, I mean yeah, like
John Wong, I think we'd go on that on there, right,
I'm kidding you. John was in Seattle, so I'm just
gonna give me more time. Who's next, Andrew, Andrew, go ahead, Andrew.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
Hey, Matt, I just want to tk about Brian Garrison.
I really like Brendan Garrison, but I don't think it's
their best interest offensively to play through him in the post,
for him to dribble ten times and throw up a
hook shot and back iron off the rim. I was
glad to see Trenton do well. Uh Seth Greenberg and
Jay Williams and go kick rocks. Shout John Dante, love

(38:57):
that guy. God bless America. Thank you, Matt got a.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Yeah, thank you, Uh yeah, you know how you know
my view, the less Garrison and Williams dribble the better
for me. I mean, the you know, the the little
hooks are okay, but I don't know. Those guys to
me are like they need to be one dribble, go
to the back. The thing about is frustrating me about Garrisons.

(39:23):
He fades away on every shot like you're seven foot
tall man, You're an athlete. He's the best athlete on
the team. Go into the go into the defender, draw foul,
use your strength. He's always fading away and he ends
up short arming a lot he'll get he'll get better
at that though. I think he's gonna be a great
player next year. I really do. I think, Uh, I

(39:45):
think he's got a chance to be really really good.
Uh next year? Who's next?

Speaker 10 (39:50):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Sorry, we'll take a break if I'm nine to eighth.
Twenty two eighty seven. The Warriors lead the Rocket seventy
eight seventy seven, seven and a half minutes to go.
The Immirates Cup is exciting, will be right back. It's
a Local Toy Dealers KSR post game job. Welcome back.
It is the Local Toy Dealers KSR postgame show. A

(40:11):
lot of good questions coming in on uh on the
text machine. Uh. One person writes, Dick Dave. This guy
says Dick Baker. I think he means Dave Baker, don't
you think? Yeah, probably combined Dick Gabriel and Dave Baker. Said.
Oscar fell around Thanksgiving and had shoulder surgery. So I

(40:31):
didn't know that, but uh yeah, prayers to prayers to Oscar.
Hopefully he will he will recover well and we can
see him in a game again soon. One person rights, Matt,
I would go on a cruise to see Billy as
a matter of fact, I think Billy would be a
huge draw on a cruise.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
That's very nice, get me on the dance floor.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Let get to this question one person rights, Matt, Of
all the KSR guys, who do you think would get
the most mad is on a dating app? Well, I
mean all all the guys. They all have women now, right,
like all of you do? Is that rightan world coming you? Shannon, Ryan,
Drew and Mario.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
That's right, Like you guys are all you're the hopeless romantic.

Speaker 8 (41:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
I don't know the answer to that. I would say,
uh uh. Ryan would certainly have a profile that scared
Everyboddy off.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Underwear or something.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
He'd be he'd do something stupid and then I'm too picky,
So I don't know. Maybe uh maybe Mario he's of
that age, right, So all right, who's up next? Casey, Casey,
go ahead, Casey.

Speaker 8 (41:49):
Hey man, how's it going? Uh?

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Doing good?

Speaker 7 (41:55):
So I'm gonna bring a chat down a little bit,
but uh, I feel like I need to do this.
Uh tonight, UK lost a saint. Uh, somebody's pretty.

Speaker 8 (42:12):
Close to me.

Speaker 7 (42:13):
His name was Doug Hazelwood. He passed away today and
he would always post.

Speaker 8 (42:19):
His old Doug.

Speaker 7 (42:22):
And he loved UK more than I love my next breath.
And uh, I'm not trying to bring it down down.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Where Where was he from? Where's Doug from?

Speaker 7 (42:40):
He was from Bria, Kentucky, Bria, Kentucky.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
When you say he would post, what would he what
would he post on?

Speaker 7 (42:47):
Well, I guess I misspoke when I said he post.
He was an old school guy if you could imagine.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Joe B.

Speaker 6 (42:56):
Hall.

Speaker 8 (42:57):
Yeah, that's who.

Speaker 7 (42:59):
That's who he would put you in mind of. But
he loved ks R and he would he would always
go by old Doug Old.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Okay, all right, I got you. So how old was he.

Speaker 7 (43:20):
I'm honestly not sure how old he was?

Speaker 1 (43:22):
But what did you did? He just live in your town?
How do you know? How did you know him?

Speaker 14 (43:28):
No?

Speaker 8 (43:28):
He was.

Speaker 7 (43:31):
We we were great friends. He was. He was your grandfather.
Jimmy and my daughter who you have a lot of
contact with. My daughter is the one who trades T shirts.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Was Ryan.

Speaker 7 (43:46):
Uh My, my foster son is the one that goes
to Western Kentucky.

Speaker 15 (43:52):
So if that makes the connection, yeah, yeah, I know
you're talking about.

Speaker 8 (43:57):
Yeah. So he loves of UK.

Speaker 7 (44:01):
But unfortunately he passed today and the fact that he
passed on to day that UK was playing a game
is so funny and ironic.

Speaker 15 (44:16):
Well, I know he's watching, so go ahead, go ahead,
you there, I'm here.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Okay. Well, let me just say, first of all, that's
very nice of you to honor h honor your friend.
That's very appropriate, and it sounds like he was a
great guy. And I'll be praying for you and he
and he and his family. But listen, I always love
stories like that because to me, the names of the players,

(44:51):
the names of the coaches, the names of the people
that are on TV and on the radio, they change,
but the common thread, uh is the fan base. And
I appreciate you honoring Doug here tonight. God bless you man.

Speaker 7 (45:05):
Yeah, thank you very much, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
Eighty seven. Let's do four more. Billy will go home.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
Who's Ben is next?

Speaker 1 (45:14):
Ben? Go ahead? Ben?

Speaker 12 (45:19):
Yeah, I'm not really sure how to follow that color.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
That's okay. Doug would just want you to talk about
the game. Go ahead.

Speaker 12 (45:28):
Well, me and my girlfriend were there and the crowd
was electric. That's one of the best best atmospheres I've
been at for a non conference game. Anyway, that was
just that was.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Yeah, Pope said that Pope actually gave the crowd a
lot of credit for UH for for the for the comeback.

Speaker 12 (45:48):
Yeah, and Mark Pope has done an amazing job with
the UH the university's basketball team, especially I mean the
staying back inside an autographs and things like that. I
could tell just made everybody's night. And I just wanted
to get on give him especially some praise and also
both of y'all for making making a lot of effort

(46:11):
to make the university better. I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Well, thank you, And you're exactly right about Mark Marx
brought the UH Mars brought the pride back, and he's
given the program in some ways back to the people.
And I think that's why everybody's so appreciative. Appreciate. I
appreciate the call. What what Billy is wrong with Draymond Green?
Did you see that?

Speaker 4 (46:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (46:30):
I did. I mean that's they got to throw That's
like I don't I don't know what they was, flagrant
one two whatever, But like he's tackled a guy. Come,
you can't do that.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
I thought we addressed this with him, Like.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Dray he does something like every day. Plus his beard
is gray now, like he's he's alone. Now. I didn't
realize that. I will say, I'm gonna be talking a
lot of trash about Louis over the next few days.
But I got to give Pat Kelsey, their coach some credit.
Did you hear what he said? Tonight? He was asked
by a reporter if it was emotionally draining having to

(47:05):
play duke in Kentucky in the same week while also
playing a physical UTEP team, and he said, quote, no,
I live a great life. I mean, we get a
bunch of free sneakers, I wear sweatsuits to work, my
kids are healthy, and my wife is hot. Wow. What
an answer. That's a good answer. Good perspective on life too.

(47:29):
Like you got a good job, you know?

Speaker 4 (47:31):
So?

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Uh? I like that. I wish I wish I could
dislike Pat Kelsey Moore. He seems like he's not a
bad not a bad dude. Did they just they called
that a common foul? That's not true, that's not what
they didn't just call that a common foul?

Speaker 3 (47:46):
Didn't they didn't see him?

Speaker 1 (47:48):
How could they call that a common foul? Come on? Wow?
All right, Well who's next?

Speaker 3 (47:54):
Butler is next?

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Butler? Go ahead?

Speaker 11 (47:58):

Kenzaka postgame show. Otherwise, I I remember now that you said, Butler,
last call, bring it.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
And about it. You're fine. You don't need to apologize.
You're good. Okay.

I watched the first, watch the first few minutes, first
eight minutes, then skip ahead and watch the second half.
That's what I do. You don't need to watch the
end of the first if you if you've had a
long day, watch the first seven or eight minutes because
it did look good. And then watch when they make
that little run in the second half. And I think

(49:27):
you got it because a lot of the game was
either them playing well and that's playing bad or boring.
So uh yeah, that's what I would do if I
were you.

Speaker 16 (49:36):
Okay, Well, prayers sending out to that guy and his family.
My mother in law just passed away Thanksgiving week.

Speaker 7 (49:45):
So I know how that feels.

Speaker 16 (49:48):
But you know what, all that aside, cats are on
the right.

Speaker 5 (49:53):
Let's go cats, Let's go in.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
That's right, all right? Two more? Who's next? Vic? Vic?

Speaker 8 (49:59):
Go ahead, Hey, Matt, I call awful to apologize to you.

Speaker 13 (50:07):
Matt.

Speaker 17 (50:10):
I know enough.

Speaker 8 (50:11):
You know I do the radio stations, bro. We did
not do the tailgate there because we said it was
a Kass Stark curse. You had won a game there
and we still got beat so wildn' ka. As far
as fault it was, it was bad football, all right.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Well, next time we can will break it. Next year
we'll do it. We'll light a candle.

Speaker 8 (50:30):
I will I do have one question. I mean, it
was a nice win by Kentucky kind of what you expected.
But this is kind of a football question. Is this
as bad as schedule for Mark? Soops coming off of
four and eight year where you could play well and
start the year two and five and really kind of
lose the entire families?

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Uh? Yeah, I mean it's it's about as bad as
schedule for Mark, and we'll I'll talk more about that tomorrow.
I appreciate the call. I mean Mark may have known,
but if he watched that reveal, I'm not sure they
could have gotten a worse order of games. You know,
it gives him an opportunity if he can get a
good win. That second game of the year against Old

(51:10):
Miss is big, and then you got Texas at home
and there are chances to get a win that kind
of wins the fan base back. But it is it
would be very easy to go two and five to
start the year and still make a bowl game. I mean,
that's plausible. You could go two and five and still
finish six and six. By it. If you'd start two
and five, you know how the fan base will be.

(51:31):
So it is a The schedule is not not what
they would have wonted, all right, one more. Here's next, Joe, Joe,
go ahead, Joe.

Speaker 17 (51:40):
Hey man, A couple of things right quick before you
get out of here. The one thing that I see
that we need to improve on is staying on our line.
And what I mean by that is when we're dribbling
the ball, we are getting physical to off of our
off of our destination, and we cannot continue to pass
that we're trying to get to the basket or make
your cut. So the blueprint looks to be the physical,

(52:02):
physical up on us and press us out on the
three point line. Away from that, and then when we
try to drive other than Lamont Butler, we don't have
a lot of guys that can get to the rim,
as you say, but we're getting physically pushed off of
our destination, so tail some back door cuts shouldn't.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
Well, that's what the That's what they did against Gonzaga
in the second half. I mean, I uh, at halftime.
I will tell you, at halftime in the Gonzaga game,
I was a little just kind of worried, not so
much about the game I thought we were gonna lose
at that point, but more just about the season because
I think everything you just said, I felt like, oh no,

(52:44):
Gonzagas showed how to beat us, and then they adjusted
and the back door cuts worked. Uh, they started posting
car up, Robinson kind of hit another level and it
looked good. But no, that is gonna be the blueprint
we are gonna get. We're gonna get roughed up all year.
There's only gonna be a handful of teams Alabama, you know,

(53:09):
maybe just Alabama. There are gonna be very few teams
that don't play us like that. And so Tennessee, will Auburn,
will Arkansas, will A and m old Miss Like they're
all gonna do that, and we're gonna have to rise
to the occasion we did in the second half against Gonzaga. Uh,
and now we're gonna have to continue because that is that.

(53:31):
We are gonna see that all year long.

Speaker 8 (53:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (53:35):
And the other thing is too, I appreciate the fact
that everybody wants to see Travis Perry and Trent Noah
come in, but just their physical appearance on the court,
you can tell they're five years younger than our team
the way that they look like high school kids.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
Which is why, which is why I want everybody to
like just take a deep breath down. Like if you
if you get a game like tonight where one of
them gets in and is able to contribute, cheer him on.
But it's it's it's really is. I think I think I,
for whatever reason, noticed it tonight more than any other game.
You just all you gotta do is go look at

(54:18):
the build of even our guys like Robinson. Robinson just
looks older, even though he's not necessarily big, he just
looks like they are. Look at Andrew Carr and then
look at Trent Noah and that's five years difference of age,
and I think that makes a massive difference.

Speaker 17 (54:38):
Yeah, hey, you guys did a great job last week
on your trip. Always enjoy you. I'm down here in Alabama.
I was at the Old Miss Win. I called you
during football season, and I think you got to do
an awesome jobs. Well, thanks, Matt, appreciate.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
You, appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah, we're gonna see that
all year, and we got to get used to it.
I think that's why I think Tennessee will be the
hardest matchup for US all year. And by the way,
that's how Louisville's gonna play us too. Saturday, Louisville has
a hard time scoring, but they're pretty physical defensively, so
I think you're gonna see a very similar game style
Saturday from Pat Kelsey's group. Thank you all very much,

(55:16):
appreciate you staying up with us. I will see you
in ten hours in the morning. This has been the
local Toity Dealers KSR postgame show
