This bingie beef Turkey podcast of the Leach Report is
also presented by Boons Butcher Shop, one hundred old Bloomfield
Pike in Barnestown, fresh meat cut on location daily and
they're family owned and operated, have been since nineteen forty six.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Hey, everybody, welcome into our show for this Tuesday game
day edition of the Leach Report, presented by Bob Kat
Enterprises having a few technical difficulties with his first road
trip of the season, so they're trying to work through those,
but let's jump right into it.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Coming up on the show today, Chris Fisher will join
us from the Cat's Pause, Larry Vaught your Sports Edge,
and Don Munson, who's the radio voice of the Clemson Tigers.
Kentucky's opponent tonight in the acc SEC Challenge for SIME.
Kentucky will have played here in Clemson since nineteen thirty three.
(00:51):
As our Wildcat News of the day is presented by
Giuseppes of Lexington Clemson seven and one. Their one loss
was a road game to Boise State. Clemson last season
made a surprising run in the NCAA Tournament, got to
the Elite eight and lost to Alabama for a spot
in the final four. Clemson, like Kentucky, is an old team,
(01:16):
only one player the top eight is below the junior class.
A big, thick, physical team in Shefflin is six eight
two forty at the four spot averaging a double double.
I've got a transfer from Cincinnati at the five spot
that six' eleven forty five. Their leading scorer is Chase Hunter,
(01:37):
a guard who had two games with twenty plus in
the NCAA tournament run last season. Two of the four
games he went for twenty or more. He had thirty
in their loss at Boise State, so he's a big
time talent. Yesterday, Maury Williams was one of the Kentucky
players who talked to the media ahead of the game.
(01:57):
He said that Brandon Garrison is going to be back
with the team. BG had to sit out the game
with a minor injury. On Friday night, it's gonna be
a late tip nine to thirty Eastern time, so our
coverage on the UK radio network will start at eight
from here in Clemson, and it's another stern test, first
(02:18):
hostile environment. The Champions Classic game was on a neutral
court and there were plenty of Wildcat fans there, so
this is the truly hostile environment, and although it's a
neutral court game on Saturday against Gonzaga, it'll be pretty
hostile there as well. So we'll let a line about
this Kentucky team this week. The Cats moved up in
(02:39):
the national rankings this week. They're number four now in
the Associated Press POL, number six in the coaches poll,
and Kentucky the women are number fourteen in the rankings
and the women's basketball also yesterday announced the signing of
a five star wing player Callen Carroll for coach Kenny Brooks.
(03:00):
There'll be in action, i think Thursday in the acc
SEC Challenge at North Carolina. So links to the stories
that we follow talk about each steak can be found
on the bud Light Leech Triport bejat town leachkhy dot com.
Our opening segments always presented by Giuseppes of Lexington and
it's tucked away off Nicholasville Road and they've been there
(03:23):
for over twenty five years with fantastic food and just
a really special atmosphere. They expanded their bar area a
couple of years ago because it was so popular to
sit and listen to Dave Hall's live jazz music while
you enjoy some fantastic homemade pasta or a handcut steak
or the fresh seafood that's shipped into Giuseppes. To give
it a try this holiday season, go to open Table.
(03:44):
Make plans to get out there with your family and
your friends for a special holiday evening at Giuseppe.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's going to be right back.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Talk to Chris Fisher of the Cats Paws here on
the Leech Report Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
We are up and rolling from Clemson, South Carolina, where
they Cats play in the a C C SEC Challenge. Tonight,
we're coming to you from the mobile Clark's Pumping Shop studio. Return,
refresh and refuel at Clark's and download their app and
take advantage of the new loyalty rewards program at Clark's.
(04:16):
As we bring on Chris Fisher from Catspaws dot Com
on the Club BLUEINIL dot com hotline. Chris, did you
see the the new spot that Lamont Butler, Andrew Carr
and Jackson Robinson did for Clark's Pumping Shop.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Those things can be a little tricky to pull off,
but I thought they nailed it.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Yeah, absolutely that that's one of the I think one
of the best nil spots that I've seen, even outside
of of Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
I definitely think Clark's Pumping Shop got their money's worth
on that one, for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Absolutely, And you know the it you it comes through
in that spot. I mean, they're not they're not professional actors,
so you feel you're kind of getting h you know,
they're they're but they did a nice job. But the
thing that comes across is just this is a it's
and it's a little bit uh. I guess amazing how
quickly this has all come together and how strong a
(05:12):
connection seems to be for these guys that came in
from all the all these different places.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Absolutely, And you know, Lamon Butler had the rap that
he did at Big Blue Madness and so obviously it
wouldn't surprise me if he wrote this and you know,
kind of set everything up. I think he has a
definitely has a talent for that. It's a very catchy,
catchy little jingle. But yeah, I mean I think, you know,
(05:39):
the players have just kind of been in lockstep with
Mark Pope since he was hired and have certainly embraced
embraced the BBN, embraced wearing Kentucky across their chest. You
can tell these guys are genuinely happy and appreciative to
be here, and I certainly think that's led to, uh,
the embrace from from the fans. And you know, I
(06:02):
don't want to say that relationships in the past felt
more a little bit more transactional, but it did feel
like at times with so many one and done's that
you know, it was more of just a stop over
on their way to the NBA. And it certainly has
a different feel this season.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, I think there's no doubt about that. And I
think probably as a good example of any of how
this team is connecting with the Kentucky fans is look
at that crowd last Friday, and it was a holiday weekend.
But I usually we're getting ready, we're standing usually when
we stand up for the national anthem, and I'll just
(06:42):
kind of look around the arena and usually when I
look to my right, that section up next to where
the media sits to the right of our broadcast table
is usually the last place to fill up, and it,
you know, usually doesn't And that glance stupcare the other night,
and this is Georgia's state. I know it's a holiday weekend,
(07:03):
but still I look up there and it's almost completely full,
and you know, for that kind of game, you haven't
seen that kind of crowd in a while.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Yeah, it feels like that game, either right before Thanksgiving
or right after Thanksgiving, has had a tendency to be
a little bit of a trap game, and it I
think it starts sometimes with the lack of fan attendance,
the lack of fan energy. You're playing a lesser opponent,
and you know, sometimes that translates to the court. The
(07:34):
team comes out and you know, doesn't play with the energy,
and then all of a sudden, the game is a
little bit closer than you would have expected. But the
crowd the other night against Georgia State was unbelievable. The
crowd that stayed after to listen to Mark Pope's postgame
and then I mean especially the after the scuffle kind
of midway through the second half. The fans were certainly
(07:57):
engaged from that point on and the team was as well,
really really responded in a positive way to that.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
First of two tough tests this week comes here tonight
at Clemson, and you just look at Clemson. They've got
guys that are you know, got good size, and good
bulk as well. So this here's they've They've been out
rebounded one time in eight games. I think it was
by Boise the game that they lost, So that probably
(08:25):
gives you an indication that rebounding could be a key
stat tonight. But this will be another physical game like
the last two that Kentucky played.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Yeah, I think this will challenge Kentucky in two areas
that not to say that they've struggled, but two areas
where Mark Pope is really challenging them, and that's in
the rebounding department and in terms of physicality. And you know,
normally you would worry about how a team would react
in their first road environment, but you know, this is
(08:56):
a veteran group. These aren't freshmen. These guys have been
around the block more than one. They've played a lot
of college basketball, and so I don't think we have
to worry about that quite as much. But Clemson is
a really really solid club coming off their an Elite
eight appearance a year ago, nearly beat Alabama to go
to the Final four, and a really really solid club.
(09:18):
And I think it's going to be a heck of
a game tonight in the acc SEC challenge.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
As Kentucky starts to play more games like this, we'll
see opposing coaches come up with a plan that will
cause Kentucky some problems at some point along the way.
But I really like the adaptability of the roster that
Mark Pope has put together, where you can sometimes have
a guy like Andrew car could slide over and play
(09:44):
the five spot and you can have a small ball
type of lineup with him. There you've got two very
complimentary point guards, a guy and Butler who is really
getting good at getting downhill kerk creases, get up assists,
can be a guy that you can hit more threes
than Butler and really gives him a boost of energy
(10:07):
off the bench. He comes in and whether he's scoring
or not, the team is scoring because he's getting them running.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I think Kentucky has a lot of versatility because they
go so deep. You know, when you play eight or
nine guys a night, it gives you the ability to
do a lot of different things. And I thought it
was very encouraging the other night against Georgia State, who
seemed determined to run Kentucky off the three point line,
and you kind of wondered how they would respond to that,
(10:37):
and I think they had over fifty points in the
paint shot, a very very high percentage in the pain
and around the rim, and so I think it gives
you some confidence that Kentucky can play different styles and
still win even when they're not making perimeter shots.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Taba Chris Fisher from katspaus dot com on the Club
blueinil dot com hotline and Chris you can follow on
x or if you prefer it, Chris Fisher two four seven,
And if you do, you know he's down on the
Kentucky football at the moment, and you're not alone, certainly
in that department. Let me ask you this, what, if anything,
(11:16):
could Mark Stoops and company do to start to change
your opinion? What would you need to see if if
you think it can be done?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah, you know, I mean I agree somewhat with Mark
with what Mark Soups said about. You know, look at
South Carolina, they were five and seven a year ago.
They turn around and go, you know, nine and three
this season, and so it can be done. I mean,
look at Mark Tope. He didn't return a single player
from last season's team, and you know they they're in
the top five for the first time since twenty twenty two.
(11:49):
They're in. They're seven to zero for the first time
since twenty seventeen, and so in the age of the
transfer portal, it can be done. I think item number one,
two and three on list has to be addressing the
offensive line. I think nothing else matters if you do
not fix the offensive line. I'm not even sure we
know how good Rock Vandergriff was this season, how good
(12:12):
Cutter Bowlie is or can be playing behind that offensive line.
I think you go back to Will Levis in twenty
twenty two. You look at what he's starting to do
now in the NFL, now that he's kind of got
his feet underneath him. But even he struggled behind that
offensive line in twenty twenty two, didn't have anywhere close
to the year that he had the year before. And
(12:35):
so I just think nothing else matters if you don't
fix the offensive line. That has to be where it starts.
Because you can't throw the ball, you can't have an
effective passing game, you can't run the ball if you
don't have a good offensive line. I think that's a
department where Kentucky has really really struggled the last couple
of years, and it's an area that used to be
(12:56):
the identity of the team and of the program.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That's exactly where I was going. Is that starting with
the first bowl season at sixteen, that became their identity
and when that identity started to erode is when things
went the other direction. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I mean, Kentucky had to have been.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
One of the only college football programs in the country
whose identity revolved around the offensive line. I mean, it
was the big blue wall, and you know, credit to
the late John Schlarman for instilling a lot of that
culture and everything kind of built on top of that,
and that's just something that has been missing. It's gone
from a strength of the program to just a glaring
(13:39):
weakness in recent years and something has to change there
or I think it's just going to be more of
the same next season.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Chris, thank you for the time. All right, Thanks Chris Fisher,
and our Leads Report comes to you from the Clark's
Pumping Shop studio. Return, refresh and refuel a Clark's back
with Larry Vaught in a moment and Larry in a
minute or so here before we hit the bottom of
the hour, break, give me a quick thought on you
cover Kentucky volleyball as closely as anybody. They have had
(14:08):
quite a turnaround in their season after the brutal schedule
in the first half of the year, won another SEC title.
What'd you think about their spot in the NCAA Tournament.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
I thought it was a fair spot. If they'd have
been able to win one or two more of those
pre seas or pre conference matches, they would have been
even better. But considering the way they got started, I
thought that was a fair draw for them. They get
to play at home, hopefully for the first two matches,
and I think they will do very, very well. They
are a nice role right now.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, they're the example of that phrase that which doesn't
kill you makes you stronger.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
That schedule, yeah, it almost killed them, but they survived.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah. Glad to see Craig Skinner get the recognition as
coach of the Year for guiding them to another SEC championship,
because that was a job quite well done. Larry Vaught's
with us. We're coming up on the midway point of
the Leach Report for this Tuesday from Clemson. We'll come
back and get to some basketball football talk with Larry
(15:11):
Vott from your sports Edge dot com. It's the Leach
Report Radio.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
Now, as the season going on, you see a more
team shot to get more physical, Like that's kind of
I don't think that's really making a difference. You know,
it helps us though, because some of our actions, you know,
you want, we want to be physical, and it helps
us get off to certain reads and certain looks. So
I feel that's definitely helping up. But defensively being physical,
that's that's just gonna you know, separate guys when it
comes to March and April, and that's what we want
(15:35):
to play. So I feel like that's definitely helping us out,
helping us right now and is good tests.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
As Ansley almanor almor I should say after the game
on Friday night against Georgia State, which was very physical
with Kentucky and Cats figure to get more of that
physical play this week from Clemson and Gonzaga, as we
chat with Larry Vaught from your Sports Edge dot com,
Vaultsviews dot Com. Leach Reports presented by Bobcat Enterprises with
(16:01):
four locations around Kentucky. If you need to buy or
rent some heavy equipment for a job, excavators, Bobcats, loaders,
et cetera. Bobcat Enterprises is where you need to go
and they'll have what you need and then you give
you fantastic service after the sale or the rental agreement.
It's Bobcat Enterprises and Larry. Those are two games this
(16:22):
week that will be a little taste of March for
this Kentucky basketball team.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Right other than the starting time, I hope it'll be
a little taste of March. So don't if anybody needs me,
don't look for me to ceter and I'll be trying
to get a nap. Hope you and Jack can do
the same because they're back to I don't remember Kentucky
having two starts this late, back to back in basketball time.
But the experience for this basketball team that'll be really
(16:48):
really good. The road environment that I like to so
called neutral kind of neutral site on Saturday. But I
think both these teams are really good, and I think
Mark's team is probably really looking forward to playing these
two games and being able to show people what they
can do. I mean, I already be up in the
top five and the Associated Press rankings for the completely
new team. It's just mind boggling to me. Time I
(17:11):
never never ever envisioned they could be where they are
right now now.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I remember watching the practice back in July, and the
first thing that jumped out when I watched them was
how that ball moved around the perimeter. Uh. And there
was you know, very little dribbling, very little holding the ball.
You knew they were going to emphasize three point shooting,
but just the the way that the ball moved, I thought, Okay,
this is gonna be at minimum very fun to watch.
(17:39):
But ultimately, they you know, they have to win their share.
And you know, as you as I watched them practice,
I thought, you know, they look really good. And I
watched them scrimmage the TBT team with the you know,
the Harrisons and Sistina, et cetera, and you know that
looked good. Uh. And but you know when they went
(18:01):
down and played like they did against Duke, that was
the validation that this team, Okay, what we thought we
saw was really there. And now it's a matter of
how good can they get?
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Yeah, I mean they are such a selfless team, and
I really do. I mean it's easy to say that,
but it's another thing to go out on the court
and show it. But I really believe that they are.
They all seem to disvalue what everybody else is doing
and don't worry about getting my own. Let's make sure
everybody else can get theirs. And if I him, come fine.
And they all play that way. And I think, I
(18:36):
don't know about you, but I don't think there's one
player on this team that is probably not a little
bit better than what I thought he was going to
be coming into the season. I mean, sometimes you get
one or two kas, it'll be that way, but I
think every player on the team is probably better than
I thought he was going to be. And the way
they have fit together, I mean, I don't know, Mark
Prope just a genius. I guess are the luckiest guy
(18:58):
around because they go out and get all that many,
all those guys, and the piece is fit as well
as what they have. It's just kind of unbelievable to
what they have done. But I think a lot of
it starts with Lamont Butler.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
There.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
He is just so unselfish, and he is so good
on defense and it can disrupt so many things if
he needs to score where he can, but I really
believe he can change a whole game and not even
score a point. Just about what he does for you.
With all the other things that he.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Does, he's gotten a group of talented guys, but he's
also proven, at least with this first team here at Kentucky,
to be you know, a good judge of the right
pieces for the culture he wants, which you know, we'll
talk a little football in a minute, but that's the
(19:45):
challenge for football now is to you know, remake their roster,
not the whole team like marpet Mark had to do,
but a pretty good chunk of it with guys that
have the right mindset as well as the talent.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Yeah, and when you talk to the players or the
parents of the players who are on this team this
year and the way that Mark recruited them and what
he sold them on, I mean, the vision that he
had is exactly what this team has been able to do.
And to be able to do that and to get
all these players that were maybe on the verge of
going somewhere else or didn't know what they were going
(20:22):
to do and to come in and buy in the
way that they have, it's just been fun to watch.
I mean, really, I can't think since Marc's got the job,
I can't think of anything he said wrong, done wrong,
that his team has done. Everything has just been kind
of like a fairy tale to this point, in concluding
buying ice cream for a thousand people left for a
(20:43):
game and all like that. I mean, it's you just
sit back and look and think something's got to go
wrong sooner or later.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
But it hadn't.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
No, it certainly hasn't. And you know, when you throw
in a win over Duke in the Champions Classic and
the third game of the season, that builds you a lot,
you bank a lot of good will.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Yeah, yeah, you sure do. And then like after the
last game, I mean, I don't think I've ever seen
a press conference where a coach was talking about a
lost cup link and a salty wife. He was phras
going to come out on the floor. I mean, just
his his postgame comments are so much fun to listen to.
It must be a treat for you just to sit
there and talk with him after the games, because sometimes
(21:25):
I think, what word did he just used that big
order to go look it up? But I mean he's
just so entertaining. He was so thoughtful of how he
explains what is going on.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I remember, you know, Kay would tell me when you
you know, doing interviews it's like they people want to
hear the coach just It usually best with short, simple questions,
so you don't try to, you know, show people what
you know, because they want to know what the guy
they care about as the coach or the player. And
with Mark, you know, it's like an example was last week.
(21:55):
I think I talked about this with one of our
guests yesterday in the after the shooter and he'll come
over and talk to UH. But jes Goose and I
are there Cameron TV crew and he'll come over chat
just kind of you know, talk about the game and
the matchup and other things. And it was Roy Philpott
who was doing the game for TV. UH ask him
(22:16):
something about you know, you're getting teams to play at
a high level or whatever. He used to phrase emotional
reservoir and went on to talk a little bit about it.
So that's how I started the pre game. I said, Okay,
here's what you'd said today. What tell me what that means?
And he elaborated that and it was a you know,
(22:37):
insightful answer. And you know he's not just you're throwing
little catchphrases out there. When you get him to explain it.
There's some sound logic behind it.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Absolutely, that's what makes me so fascinating to listen to
and and to be so thoughtful on how he answers everything.
I mean, I know he's posting press conference with the
media are taking a little bit longer than what the
normal press conversations. He doesn't give short answers to anything.
He's very detailed in what he tells you. In the
(23:09):
same listening with you, I mean, I think probably the
crowds are just going to keep growing for the postgame
great radio shows with you and Mark out there. You
might just let Mark sit down, you're just handing the mic.
You can just take a break for a while. Maybe,
I don't know, because I think he can just talk
for thirty minutes and not stop.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I think you're right, and you may get free ice cream, yes, exactly. Lastly,
let's shift gears to football and this is a very
challenging time for the Kentucky football program and Mark Stoops.
What do you need to see to make you feel better?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Tom that there really is anything until they can get
back out on the field, because I think the talking
season the past couple of years has gone pretty well.
Else haven't gone so well, So I don't know. I mean,
I don't know what the answer is. Do you need
a complete roster purge. That seems like that's a pretty
difficult thing to be able to pull off. I thought
(24:11):
it was very insightful what Eli Cox talked about on
the with Jeff Pcoro after the game Saturday, about the
offensive line and trying to rely on transfers there just
wasn't going to work.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
That.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
You just had to have players that you could bring
in and develop and give them time. And yet they're
in the position right now. I don't know what they're
going to do if they've got enough already on campus
to develop to get ready with that going to the
transfer portal at that I don't know how many if
they're going to lose anybody else out of their high
school class. I don't know if they're going to have
(24:43):
staff changes. Mark Shore made it sound like maybe not,
so we will see. But they just got to get
back to I think playing tough, gretty, physical football, something
I think Mark prided himself out, and that's what Kentucky
was for years, ten years what he was here then,
(25:04):
I think for whatever reason, they've kind of got away
from that, and I think they also got to do
just a little bit better job of evaluating maybe the
character part of some of the players they bring in
in the transfer portal, because I think obviously some things
didn't work this year. When you hear a couple of
your better players after the final game talking about that
there wasn't enough accountability or enough leadership on the team,
(25:26):
that's a pretty big red flag that you've got to
pay attention to, and hopefully they can find a way
to correct that.

them at Roadshowcards dot com. This day in twenty eleven,
it was Kentucky and North Carolina in rupp Arena, Kentucky
(27:00):
team that would eventually win the National title. Game was
back and forth, goes right down to the wire. Kentucky's up.
I think it's seventy three, seventy two, and Carolina gets
the ball to John Henson about fifteen feet out on
the right side. He turns to shoot and here comes
the long right arm of Anthony Davis from a long
(27:22):
way away. He got there, quickly, got the shot blocked,
grabbed the ball out of the air, and clutched it
to his chest and at that point it's got to
be one of the top ten loudest moments in rapp
Arena history. Maybe top five, I don't know. That's always
a fun debate, but it was certainly an incredible memory
(27:43):
for Wildcat fans for a team that went on the
won the National champion to win the national championship, and
happy birthday Jackson Robinson, so maybe you'll have a big
game on his birthday. He's one of the four different
players who have been a leading scorer for Kentucky through
the first seven games, so that just you know, speaks
(28:04):
to the balance of this team. Jackson's three point shots
been off a little in the last couple of games,
as has the teams. Kentucky is just fifteen of fifty
five from the three point line in the last two games,
so we'll see if that can bounce back for the
Wildcats tonight. Brad Brannell, by the way, the coach at
Clemsons in his fifteenth year. He's from Evansville, went to
(28:26):
Harrison High School, which was also the high school Alma
Monter of Walter McCarty and Calbert Cheney. That's one of
the notes of the Clemson Tigers as we what about
putting together the notes for this broadcast tonight, Looking forward
to the game and hope you'll join us on the
UK Radio Network for a nine to thirty.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Hey, everybody, welcome into our show for this Tuesday game
day edition of the Leach Report, presented by Bob Kat
Enterprises having a few technical difficulties with his first road
trip of the season, so they're trying to work through those,
but let's jump right into it.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Coming up on the show today, Chris Fisher will join
us from the Cat's Pause, Larry Vaught your Sports Edge,
and Don Munson, who's the radio voice of the Clemson Tigers.
Kentucky's opponent tonight in the acc SEC Challenge for SIME.
Kentucky will have played here in Clemson since nineteen thirty three.
(00:51):
As our Wildcat News of the day is presented by
Giuseppes of Lexington Clemson seven and one. Their one loss
was a road game to Boise State. Clemson last season
made a surprising run in the NCAA Tournament, got to
the Elite eight and lost to Alabama for a spot
in the final four. Clemson, like Kentucky, is an old team,
(01:16):
only one player the top eight is below the junior class.
A big, thick, physical team in Shefflin is six eight
two forty at the four spot averaging a double double.
I've got a transfer from Cincinnati at the five spot
that six' eleven forty five. Their leading scorer is Chase Hunter,
(01:37):
a guard who had two games with twenty plus in
the NCAA tournament run last season. Two of the four
games he went for twenty or more. He had thirty
in their loss at Boise State, so he's a big
time talent. Yesterday, Maury Williams was one of the Kentucky
players who talked to the media ahead of the game.
(01:57):
He said that Brandon Garrison is going to be back
with the team. BG had to sit out the game
with a minor injury. On Friday night, it's gonna be
a late tip nine to thirty Eastern time, so our
coverage on the UK radio network will start at eight
from here in Clemson, and it's another stern test, first
(02:18):
hostile environment. The Champions Classic game was on a neutral
court and there were plenty of Wildcat fans there, so
this is the truly hostile environment, and although it's a
neutral court game on Saturday against Gonzaga, it'll be pretty
hostile there as well. So we'll let a line about
this Kentucky team this week. The Cats moved up in
(02:39):
the national rankings this week. They're number four now in
the Associated Press POL, number six in the coaches poll,
and Kentucky the women are number fourteen in the rankings
and the women's basketball also yesterday announced the signing of
a five star wing player Callen Carroll for coach Kenny Brooks.
(03:00):
There'll be in action, i think Thursday in the acc
SEC Challenge at North Carolina. So links to the stories
that we follow talk about each steak can be found
on the bud Light Leech Triport bejat town leachkhy dot com.
Our opening segments always presented by Giuseppes of Lexington and
it's tucked away off Nicholasville Road and they've been there
(03:23):
for over twenty five years with fantastic food and just
a really special atmosphere. They expanded their bar area a
couple of years ago because it was so popular to
sit and listen to Dave Hall's live jazz music while
you enjoy some fantastic homemade pasta or a handcut steak
or the fresh seafood that's shipped into Giuseppes. To give
it a try this holiday season, go to open Table.

Make plans to get out there with your family and
your friends for a special holiday evening at Giuseppe.

It's going to be right back.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Talk to Chris Fisher of the Cats Paws here on
the Leech Report Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
We are up and rolling from Clemson, South Carolina, where
they Cats play in the a C C SEC Challenge. Tonight,
we're coming to you from the mobile Clark's Pumping Shop studio. Return,
refresh and refuel at Clark's and download their app and
take advantage of the new loyalty rewards program at Clark's.
(04:16):
As we bring on Chris Fisher from Catspaws dot Com
on the Club BLUEINIL dot com hotline. Chris, did you
see the the new spot that Lamont Butler, Andrew Carr
and Jackson Robinson did for Clark's Pumping Shop.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Those things can be a little tricky to pull off,
but I thought they nailed it.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Yeah, absolutely that that's one of the I think one
of the best nil spots that I've seen, even outside
of of Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
I definitely think Clark's Pumping Shop got their money's worth
on that one, for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Absolutely, And you know the it you it comes through
in that spot. I mean, they're not they're not professional actors,
so you feel you're kind of getting h you know,
they're they're but they did a nice job. But the
thing that comes across is just this is a it's
and it's a little bit uh. I guess amazing how
quickly this has all come together and how strong a
(05:12):
connection seems to be for these guys that came in
from all the all these different places.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Absolutely, And you know, Lamon Butler had the rap that
he did at Big Blue Madness and so obviously it
wouldn't surprise me if he wrote this and you know,
kind of set everything up. I think he has a
definitely has a talent for that. It's a very catchy,
catchy little jingle. But yeah, I mean I think, you know,
(05:39):
the players have just kind of been in lockstep with
Mark Pope since he was hired and have certainly embraced
embraced the BBN, embraced wearing Kentucky across their chest. You
can tell these guys are genuinely happy and appreciative to
be here, and I certainly think that's led to, uh,
the embrace from from the fans. And you know, I
(06:02):
don't want to say that relationships in the past felt
more a little bit more transactional, but it did feel
like at times with so many one and done's that
you know, it was more of just a stop over
on their way to the NBA. And it certainly has
a different feel this season.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, I think there's no doubt about that. And I
think probably as a good example of any of how
this team is connecting with the Kentucky fans is look
at that crowd last Friday, and it was a holiday weekend.
But I usually we're getting ready, we're standing usually when
we stand up for the national anthem, and I'll just
(06:42):
kind of look around the arena and usually when I
look to my right, that section up next to where
the media sits to the right of our broadcast table
is usually the last place to fill up, and it,
you know, usually doesn't And that glance stupcare the other night,
and this is Georgia's state. I know it's a holiday weekend,
(07:03):
but still I look up there and it's almost completely full,
and you know, for that kind of game, you haven't
seen that kind of crowd in a while.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Yeah, it feels like that game, either right before Thanksgiving
or right after Thanksgiving, has had a tendency to be
a little bit of a trap game, and it I
think it starts sometimes with the lack of fan attendance,
the lack of fan energy. You're playing a lesser opponent,
and you know, sometimes that translates to the court. The
(07:34):
team comes out and you know, doesn't play with the energy,
and then all of a sudden, the game is a
little bit closer than you would have expected. But the
crowd the other night against Georgia State was unbelievable. The
crowd that stayed after to listen to Mark Pope's postgame
and then I mean especially the after the scuffle kind
of midway through the second half. The fans were certainly
(07:57):
engaged from that point on and the team was as well,
really really responded in a positive way to that.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
First of two tough tests this week comes here tonight
at Clemson, and you just look at Clemson. They've got
guys that are you know, got good size, and good
bulk as well. So this here's they've They've been out
rebounded one time in eight games. I think it was
by Boise the game that they lost, So that probably
(08:25):
gives you an indication that rebounding could be a key
stat tonight. But this will be another physical game like
the last two that Kentucky played.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Yeah, I think this will challenge Kentucky in two areas
that not to say that they've struggled, but two areas
where Mark Pope is really challenging them, and that's in
the rebounding department and in terms of physicality. And you know,
normally you would worry about how a team would react
in their first road environment, but you know, this is
(08:56):
a veteran group. These aren't freshmen. These guys have been
around the block more than one. They've played a lot
of college basketball, and so I don't think we have
to worry about that quite as much. But Clemson is
a really really solid club coming off their an Elite
eight appearance a year ago, nearly beat Alabama to go
to the Final four, and a really really solid club.
(09:18):
And I think it's going to be a heck of
a game tonight in the acc SEC challenge.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
As Kentucky starts to play more games like this, we'll
see opposing coaches come up with a plan that will
cause Kentucky some problems at some point along the way.
But I really like the adaptability of the roster that
Mark Pope has put together, where you can sometimes have
a guy like Andrew car could slide over and play
(09:44):
the five spot and you can have a small ball
type of lineup with him. There you've got two very
complimentary point guards, a guy and Butler who is really
getting good at getting downhill kerk creases, get up assists,
can be a guy that you can hit more threes
than Butler and really gives him a boost of energy
(10:07):
off the bench. He comes in and whether he's scoring
or not, the team is scoring because he's getting them running.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I think Kentucky has a lot of versatility because they
go so deep. You know, when you play eight or
nine guys a night, it gives you the ability to
do a lot of different things. And I thought it
was very encouraging the other night against Georgia State, who
seemed determined to run Kentucky off the three point line,
and you kind of wondered how they would respond to that,
(10:37):
and I think they had over fifty points in the
paint shot, a very very high percentage in the pain
and around the rim, and so I think it gives
you some confidence that Kentucky can play different styles and
still win even when they're not making perimeter shots.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Taba Chris Fisher from katspaus dot com on the Club
blueinil dot com hotline and Chris you can follow on
x or if you prefer it, Chris Fisher two four seven,
And if you do, you know he's down on the
Kentucky football at the moment, and you're not alone, certainly
in that department. Let me ask you this, what, if anything,
(11:16):
could Mark Stoops and company do to start to change
your opinion? What would you need to see if if
you think it can be done?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah, you know, I mean I agree somewhat with Mark
with what Mark Soups said about. You know, look at
South Carolina, they were five and seven a year ago.
They turn around and go, you know, nine and three
this season, and so it can be done. I mean,
look at Mark Tope. He didn't return a single player
from last season's team, and you know they they're in
the top five for the first time since twenty twenty two.
(11:49):
They're in. They're seven to zero for the first time
since twenty seventeen, and so in the age of the
transfer portal, it can be done. I think item number one,
two and three on list has to be addressing the
offensive line. I think nothing else matters if you do
not fix the offensive line. I'm not even sure we
know how good Rock Vandergriff was this season, how good
(12:12):
Cutter Bowlie is or can be playing behind that offensive line.
I think you go back to Will Levis in twenty
twenty two. You look at what he's starting to do
now in the NFL, now that he's kind of got
his feet underneath him. But even he struggled behind that
offensive line in twenty twenty two, didn't have anywhere close
to the year that he had the year before. And
(12:35):
so I just think nothing else matters if you don't
fix the offensive line. That has to be where it starts.
Because you can't throw the ball, you can't have an
effective passing game, you can't run the ball if you
don't have a good offensive line. I think that's a
department where Kentucky has really really struggled the last couple
of years, and it's an area that used to be
(12:56):
the identity of the team and of the program.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That's exactly where I was going. Is that starting with
the first bowl season at sixteen, that became their identity
and when that identity started to erode is when things
went the other direction. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I mean, Kentucky had to have been.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
One of the only college football programs in the country
whose identity revolved around the offensive line. I mean, it
was the big blue wall, and you know, credit to
the late John Schlarman for instilling a lot of that
culture and everything kind of built on top of that,
and that's just something that has been missing. It's gone
from a strength of the program to just a glaring
(13:39):
weakness in recent years and something has to change there
or I think it's just going to be more of
the same next season.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Chris, thank you for the time. All right, Thanks Chris Fisher,
and our Leads Report comes to you from the Clark's
Pumping Shop studio. Return, refresh and refuel a Clark's back
with Larry Vaught in a moment and Larry in a
minute or so here before we hit the bottom of
the hour, break, give me a quick thought on you
cover Kentucky volleyball as closely as anybody. They have had
(14:08):
quite a turnaround in their season after the brutal schedule
in the first half of the year, won another SEC title.
What'd you think about their spot in the NCAA Tournament.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
I thought it was a fair spot. If they'd have
been able to win one or two more of those
pre seas or pre conference matches, they would have been
even better. But considering the way they got started, I
thought that was a fair draw for them. They get
to play at home, hopefully for the first two matches,
and I think they will do very, very well. They
are a nice role right now.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, they're the example of that phrase that which doesn't
kill you makes you stronger.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
That schedule, yeah, it almost killed them, but they survived.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah. Glad to see Craig Skinner get the recognition as
coach of the Year for guiding them to another SEC championship,
because that was a job quite well done. Larry Vaught's
with us. We're coming up on the midway point of
the Leach Report for this Tuesday from Clemson. We'll come
back and get to some basketball football talk with Larry
(15:11):
Vott from your sports Edge dot com. It's the Leach
Report Radio.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
Now, as the season going on, you see a more
team shot to get more physical, Like that's kind of
I don't think that's really making a difference. You know,
it helps us though, because some of our actions, you know,
you want, we want to be physical, and it helps
us get off to certain reads and certain looks. So
I feel that's definitely helping up. But defensively being physical,
that's that's just gonna you know, separate guys when it
comes to March and April, and that's what we want
(15:35):
to play. So I feel like that's definitely helping us out,
helping us right now and is good tests.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
As Ansley almanor almor I should say after the game
on Friday night against Georgia State, which was very physical
with Kentucky and Cats figure to get more of that
physical play this week from Clemson and Gonzaga, as we
chat with Larry Vaught from your Sports Edge dot com,
Vaultsviews dot Com. Leach Reports presented by Bobcat Enterprises with
(16:01):
four locations around Kentucky. If you need to buy or
rent some heavy equipment for a job, excavators, Bobcats, loaders,
et cetera. Bobcat Enterprises is where you need to go
and they'll have what you need and then you give
you fantastic service after the sale or the rental agreement.
It's Bobcat Enterprises and Larry. Those are two games this
(16:22):
week that will be a little taste of March for
this Kentucky basketball team.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Right other than the starting time, I hope it'll be
a little taste of March. So don't if anybody needs me,
don't look for me to ceter and I'll be trying
to get a nap. Hope you and Jack can do
the same because they're back to I don't remember Kentucky
having two starts this late, back to back in basketball time.
But the experience for this basketball team that'll be really
(16:48):
really good. The road environment that I like to so
called neutral kind of neutral site on Saturday. But I
think both these teams are really good, and I think
Mark's team is probably really looking forward to playing these
two games and being able to show people what they
can do. I mean, I already be up in the
top five and the Associated Press rankings for the completely
new team. It's just mind boggling to me. Time I
(17:11):
never never ever envisioned they could be where they are
right now now.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I remember watching the practice back in July, and the
first thing that jumped out when I watched them was
how that ball moved around the perimeter. Uh. And there
was you know, very little dribbling, very little holding the ball.
You knew they were going to emphasize three point shooting,
but just the the way that the ball moved, I thought, Okay,
this is gonna be at minimum very fun to watch.
(17:39):
But ultimately, they you know, they have to win their share.
And you know, as you as I watched them practice,
I thought, you know, they look really good. And I
watched them scrimmage the TBT team with the you know,
the Harrisons and Sistina, et cetera, and you know that
looked good. Uh. And but you know when they went
(18:01):
down and played like they did against Duke, that was
the validation that this team, Okay, what we thought we
saw was really there. And now it's a matter of
how good can they get?
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Yeah, I mean they are such a selfless team, and
I really do. I mean it's easy to say that,
but it's another thing to go out on the court
and show it. But I really believe that they are.
They all seem to disvalue what everybody else is doing
and don't worry about getting my own. Let's make sure
everybody else can get theirs. And if I him, come fine.
And they all play that way. And I think, I
(18:36):
don't know about you, but I don't think there's one
player on this team that is probably not a little
bit better than what I thought he was going to
be coming into the season. I mean, sometimes you get
one or two kas, it'll be that way, but I
think every player on the team is probably better than
I thought he was going to be. And the way
they have fit together, I mean, I don't know, Mark
Prope just a genius. I guess are the luckiest guy
(18:58):
around because they go out and get all that many,
all those guys, and the piece is fit as well
as what they have. It's just kind of unbelievable to
what they have done. But I think a lot of
it starts with Lamont Butler.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
There.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
He is just so unselfish, and he is so good
on defense and it can disrupt so many things if
he needs to score where he can, but I really
believe he can change a whole game and not even
score a point. Just about what he does for you.
With all the other things that he.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Does, he's gotten a group of talented guys, but he's
also proven, at least with this first team here at Kentucky,
to be you know, a good judge of the right
pieces for the culture he wants, which you know, we'll
talk a little football in a minute, but that's the
(19:45):
challenge for football now is to you know, remake their roster,
not the whole team like marpet Mark had to do,
but a pretty good chunk of it with guys that
have the right mindset as well as the talent.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Yeah, and when you talk to the players or the
parents of the players who are on this team this
year and the way that Mark recruited them and what
he sold them on, I mean, the vision that he
had is exactly what this team has been able to do.
And to be able to do that and to get
all these players that were maybe on the verge of
going somewhere else or didn't know what they were going
(20:22):
to do and to come in and buy in the
way that they have, it's just been fun to watch.
I mean, really, I can't think since Marc's got the job,
I can't think of anything he said wrong, done wrong,
that his team has done. Everything has just been kind
of like a fairy tale to this point, in concluding
buying ice cream for a thousand people left for a
(20:43):
game and all like that. I mean, it's you just
sit back and look and think something's got to go
wrong sooner or later.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
But it hadn't.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
No, it certainly hasn't. And you know, when you throw
in a win over Duke in the Champions Classic and
the third game of the season, that builds you a lot,
you bank a lot of good will.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Yeah, yeah, you sure do. And then like after the
last game, I mean, I don't think I've ever seen
a press conference where a coach was talking about a
lost cup link and a salty wife. He was phras
going to come out on the floor. I mean, just
his his postgame comments are so much fun to listen to.
It must be a treat for you just to sit
there and talk with him after the games, because sometimes
(21:25):
I think, what word did he just used that big
order to go look it up? But I mean he's
just so entertaining. He was so thoughtful of how he
explains what is going on.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I remember, you know, Kay would tell me when you
you know, doing interviews it's like they people want to
hear the coach just It usually best with short, simple questions,
so you don't try to, you know, show people what
you know, because they want to know what the guy
they care about as the coach or the player. And
with Mark, you know, it's like an example was last week.
(21:55):
I think I talked about this with one of our
guests yesterday in the after the shooter and he'll come
over and talk to UH. But jes Goose and I
are there Cameron TV crew and he'll come over chat
just kind of you know, talk about the game and
the matchup and other things. And it was Roy Philpott
who was doing the game for TV. UH ask him
(22:16):
something about you know, you're getting teams to play at
a high level or whatever. He used to phrase emotional
reservoir and went on to talk a little bit about it.
So that's how I started the pre game. I said, Okay,
here's what you'd said today. What tell me what that means?
And he elaborated that and it was a you know,
(22:37):
insightful answer. And you know he's not just you're throwing
little catchphrases out there. When you get him to explain it.
There's some sound logic behind it.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Absolutely, that's what makes me so fascinating to listen to
and and to be so thoughtful on how he answers everything.
I mean, I know he's posting press conference with the
media are taking a little bit longer than what the
normal press conversations. He doesn't give short answers to anything.
He's very detailed in what he tells you. In the
(23:09):
same listening with you, I mean, I think probably the
crowds are just going to keep growing for the postgame
great radio shows with you and Mark out there. You
might just let Mark sit down, you're just handing the mic.
You can just take a break for a while. Maybe,
I don't know, because I think he can just talk
for thirty minutes and not stop.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I think you're right, and you may get free ice cream, yes, exactly. Lastly,
let's shift gears to football and this is a very
challenging time for the Kentucky football program and Mark Stoops.
What do you need to see to make you feel better?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Tom that there really is anything until they can get
back out on the field, because I think the talking
season the past couple of years has gone pretty well.
Else haven't gone so well, So I don't know. I mean,
I don't know what the answer is. Do you need
a complete roster purge. That seems like that's a pretty
difficult thing to be able to pull off. I thought
(24:11):
it was very insightful what Eli Cox talked about on
the with Jeff Pcoro after the game Saturday, about the
offensive line and trying to rely on transfers there just
wasn't going to work.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
That.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
You just had to have players that you could bring
in and develop and give them time. And yet they're
in the position right now. I don't know what they're
going to do if they've got enough already on campus
to develop to get ready with that going to the
transfer portal at that I don't know how many if
they're going to lose anybody else out of their high
school class. I don't know if they're going to have
(24:43):
staff changes. Mark Shore made it sound like maybe not,
so we will see. But they just got to get
back to I think playing tough, gretty, physical football, something
I think Mark prided himself out, and that's what Kentucky
was for years, ten years what he was here then,
(25:04):
I think for whatever reason, they've kind of got away
from that, and I think they also got to do
just a little bit better job of evaluating maybe the
character part of some of the players they bring in
in the transfer portal, because I think obviously some things
didn't work this year. When you hear a couple of
your better players after the final game talking about that
there wasn't enough accountability or enough leadership on the team,
(25:26):
that's a pretty big red flag that you've got to
pay attention to, and hopefully they can find a way
to correct that.

Larry Vaught, thank you much, all right, Tom Larry joining
us at the club blunil dot com hotline. Club Blue
is the official collective partner of UK Athletics and if
you are looking to help with the NIL funds for
all sports on campus, then you can go to club
bluenil dot com and sign up for as little as
twenty five dollars a month and you can direct where

you want your funds to go, which sport you want

had meet and greets with players from other sports before games,
(26:15):
and if you're a Club Blue member in those situations
you get to move to the front of the line
or when there are special outings. There was one down
on Hazard with a basketball team this summer, Club Blue
members get unique and special access. So Club Blue nil
dot Com. We'll be right back and it'll preview the
Clemson Tigers with their radio play by play voice Don Londson.
Lakes Reports is presented by Bobcat Enterprises, and it is
(26:40):
time for our Wildcat History note and the Wildcat History
each Day presented by Kentucky road Show Sports Cards and Memorabilia.
They're on Romney Road in Lexington. You can also find
them at Roadshowcards dot com. This day in twenty eleven,
it was Kentucky and North Carolina in rupp Arena, Kentucky
(27:00):
team that would eventually win the National title. Game was
back and forth, goes right down to the wire. Kentucky's up.
I think it's seventy three, seventy two, and Carolina gets
the ball to John Henson about fifteen feet out on
the right side. He turns to shoot and here comes
the long right arm of Anthony Davis from a long
(27:22):
way away. He got there, quickly, got the shot blocked,
grabbed the ball out of the air, and clutched it
to his chest and at that point it's got to
be one of the top ten loudest moments in rapp
Arena history. Maybe top five, I don't know. That's always
a fun debate, but it was certainly an incredible memory
(27:43):
for Wildcat fans for a team that went on the
won the National champion to win the national championship, and
happy birthday Jackson Robinson, so maybe you'll have a big
game on his birthday. He's one of the four different
players who have been a leading scorer for Kentucky through
the first seven games, so that just you know, speaks
(28:04):
to the balance of this team. Jackson's three point shots
been off a little in the last couple of games,
as has the teams. Kentucky is just fifteen of fifty
five from the three point line in the last two games,
so we'll see if that can bounce back for the
Wildcats tonight. Brad Brannell, by the way, the coach at
Clemsons in his fifteenth year. He's from Evansville, went to
(28:26):
Harrison High School, which was also the high school Alma
Monter of Walter McCarty and Calbert Cheney. That's one of
the notes of the Clemson Tigers as we what about
putting together the notes for this broadcast tonight, Looking forward
to the game and hope you'll join us on the
UK Radio Network for a nine to thirty.
