00:00:59
Speaker 3: Welcome back, you can take you Sports Radio eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven Here at the KSR Somerset Golf Scramble. Got the speaker working, so hopefully I'll be able to play something for you. I'm excited to play a little bit later in the hour. We're gonna go to the phones here in just a second. One person rides matt if Cutter Bowls. You're started by week three, and you went into the portal and paid over a million dollars for your quarterback. Then you screwed up on the portal. I think that's fair. That's completely fair. If you're already getting rid of your quarterback after week two, then you picked the wrong quarterback. I mean that's just that's just a that's a fact. I mean they've been you know, depend they've they've either one of two things is true. Either they've had the wrong offensive coordinators and they don't have a good offensive plan, or they've gone three years in a row without picking the right quarterback.

00:01:45
Speaker 4: And you can decide which one it is.

00:01:47
Speaker 3: I tend to do the offensive coordinators becuz you know, Devin Leary made an NFL team, so he can't be that bad. And then Brian Vandergriff quit football, and Zach Alzada at one point beat Alabama so some of it is. I think it's more coordinator based, at least to me.

00:02:07
Speaker 4: I think so too.

00:02:07
Speaker 5: Calzada has not been good on his own so far. I mean, he missed a little screen pass through it at his feet, plenty of misthrows on Calzada. He looks like he's seeing ghost out there. But I feel a little bad for him when before the play he's yelling what the bleep are we doing? And his receivers can't get in position and they're running plays and put him in a position to take a safety like last week or some of these play calls he's getting. Yes, he's missing throws, but at the same time, I don't know that we're exactly setting him up to succeed.

00:02:35
Speaker 4: He's great, I think it's the best way to put it.

00:02:36
Speaker 3: He I don't think he's great, but I also don't think we're setting him up to succeed.

00:02:40
Speaker 4: And that combination Shannon is not good.

00:02:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, organization is the most simplicity, is the simple, most simple thing that you can do when it comes to running your offense, and they seem to have none of that. And it all goes back I think to the offensive coordinators, how many have we had now since Stoops has been here a lot, a lot more than I can even By.

00:02:56
Speaker 3: The way, also, I don't think we we we necessarily appreciate Our offensive line is the third most experienced offensive line in.

00:03:03
Speaker 4: All of college football.

00:03:04
Speaker 2: I saw that stat.

00:03:05
Speaker 4: So it's not like we're like a bunch of kids.

00:03:07
Speaker 3: This is the third most experienced offensive line in terms of games played in all of college football.

00:03:12
Speaker 2: And through the first two game, they think everybody's pretty happy with the way the offensive line has played. You know, no really major mistakes. A running game has been pretty well done pretty well the last two games, especially against an SEC defense. But you talk about the transfer your big money guy Calzada. Last year, you big money guys were Chip train him and Vandergriff. You before that's your big money guy was Devin Leary. I mean, it's just they keep missing on their transfer portal guys, and they just can't do that.

00:03:34
Speaker 3: Can we say one thing that's good? Seth McGowan's really good. That's a really good runner. I mean, that's the kind of dude you want. Takes a hit, gets a few more yards. He is uh, he's a stud. But just this morning, the new episode of the NFL Covers zero podcast with Me and Drew came out. Please listen to it today. I think you'll like it, but I'll still a little behind the scenes story. So, so the NFL wants us to tape the US on Sunday nights after the night game is over, and that's pretty late, right, so it's usually over eleven fifteen eleven thirty. So we've made a decision as a as a family, Me, Drew, Billy and Mario, we're gonna get to the studio at halftime of the of the night game so that during the second half we can discuss what we're gonna do, and then as the moment the game's over, we can start. So we get down there ten nine minutes to go. Baltimore's up fifteen. They get the ball back on an interception. Shannon and I think, well, game's over. They're good, right right, They're up fifteen, they got the ball with nine minutes to go.

00:04:37
Speaker 4: Buffalo's not been able to stop them. Let's start the show. Why not? So we start the show.

00:04:42
Speaker 3: We lead with that game because it's the biggest game, you know, we're talking about it. We're making good points. Lamar Jackson Dereck Henry burber Bro. We get in, we start moving to the other games. We're like four games in and all of a sudden, I see on Billy's face and I've seen it before.

00:04:56
Speaker 4: There's a look of panic. You can just see. You can see on his face.

00:05:00
Speaker 3: I'm Billy and I'm panicky, and I and he grabs the remote and I went I even knew. I was like, God, I think I know what's happening. And then we turn it on and it's forty to thirty eight and Buffalo's driving. You know, if we were live, which we're gonna be in a few weeks after I get back from South Africa, we probably would have just kept going. But you know, I mean, it wouldn't make sense if we started a podcast and we said Baltimore one.

00:05:30
Speaker 4: So we just have to stop, and then we just have to start over.

00:05:33
Speaker 3: Like the first thirty minutes are gone, so that will be somewhere in the ether of the archives of KSR is the first thirty minutes of the podcast.

00:05:42
Speaker 4: I actually think the second version was better than the first, so I think it's fine.

00:05:46
Speaker 3: But we ended up going home at one in the morning because we literally got thirty minutes into it, and then stupid Buffalo came back and.

00:05:55
Speaker 6: Was it's week one for you guys to a mistake, right, and that is really one of the most chaos are things that could happen and the.

00:06:01
Speaker 4: Most KSR cursed thing imaginable.

00:06:03
Speaker 3: You go, well, this game's over, and then I wish I had a camera on Billy he I could see his panic. He's like, oh no, and then there you go.

00:06:13
Speaker 2: Football gods didn't like you guys starting that a little early before the game was over, did they.

00:06:16
Speaker 3: We're not gonna be able to do that in the future, Drew. I think we're just gonna have to wait it out, just in case.

00:06:21
Speaker 5: Pretty unique circumstances there, and it wasn't just that we mentioned the game. We talked about the impact on the playoffs.

00:06:28
Speaker 3: You may listen when you listen to the podcast. We'll see if you catch the moment. So we did thirty minutes and I was like, there's about ten minutes I think we can salvage, and we left it in.

00:06:40
Speaker 4: As I was.

00:06:41
Speaker 3: Driving down here this morning, there's at least one thing on there that probably we shouldn't have left in because it's basically assuming Baltimore one, and that's gonna sound stupid. So when you listen, you might hear one moment that goes ere. They probably shout your call covers zero. You literally don't even watch the games.

00:06:57
Speaker 6: According to the podcast, we watched the game.

00:07:02
Speaker 3: Now, I will say, as we were talking about the comeback, we had to be vague Ryan because we didn't really know what happened during the comeback because we had the television off.

00:07:11
Speaker 2: But on the on the good side, you guys nailed all the other games had finished.

00:07:15
Speaker 5: People only wanted our Commander's Giants takes.

00:07:18
Speaker 4: The other games were completely good.

00:07:20
Speaker 5: Matt did another big impersonation. Now I think we have a new bid. This is two straight weeks off, only two weeks where Matt has done a new impersonation.

00:07:27
Speaker 3: And I did Chris collins Worth when when Josh Allen and uh makes a good play he and he and Lamar Jackson. I'm not gonna do it on the public airwaves because it's but I think it's a pretty good impression because you know, he gets excited, he starts grunting and he starts moaning.

00:07:44
Speaker 5: And last week was Dan Campbell.

00:07:46
Speaker 4: Now collins Worth, so you gonna hear a sign of Matt Jones.

00:07:49
Speaker 3: Maybe you haven't heard before if you listened to this week's but please subscribe. H like it with the stars they are. They seem very happy so far, and we're not fired yet, so we're pretty good now.

00:08:00
Speaker 4: However, starting with our next.

00:08:01
Speaker 3: Show, I'm on the road and then we'll see if I'm able next Sunday to connect in Johannesburg, South Africa after having not watched the games at all.

00:08:10
Speaker 2: Right, well that's what the magic of Google's for. You can Google up through some information for you unless you kind of yeah.

00:08:17
Speaker 4: I like it.

00:08:18
Speaker 3: I'm nine twenty two eighty seven. Let me give a shout out to something positive of UK sports. UK volleyball goes on the road, plays Top five Penn State, beats them in three straight sets and dominates the game. They had a huge crowd, they ended up it basically was dead on national TV again on Fox. They were playing on network television and they win. That means they have played two teams in the top five, essentially in road games, back to back, and have won the first two sets in both games. Won the game against Penn State. They're gonna end up rank probably number three in the country. Craig Skinner, Drew has a national championship contender we had.

00:08:56
Speaker 4: I mean, that's something to be excited about going forward.

00:08:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, you spoiled State's fun up there. They had a big banner night, big celebration.

00:09:03
Speaker 4: If you hain't hung their banner, if you held.

00:09:05
Speaker 5: On against Nebraska on Sunday, Penn State would have been one and you would have beaten the number one team twice in one week, being unheard of and about any sport.

00:09:13
Speaker 3: But still they probably would have been We probably would have been number one if we hung out.

00:09:17
Speaker 5: Oh oh yeah, definitely, but a huge, huge win. Looks like Skinner's loaded up again. We know they've had a good hold on the conference for a long time, but it looks like they're gonna be a national contender this season.

00:09:27
Speaker 6: Just makes that Nebraska game that lost that much tougher. You're up two to ohero on Nebraska and have a chance to just sweep them, and then you'll lose that game. They come back and beat it.

00:09:37
Speaker 3: Craig Skinner Basically, if you look at the top eight teams in the country that's not Kentucky.

00:09:41
Speaker 4: He scheduled five of them there.

00:09:43
Speaker 3: So he's making it to where we're going because in the SEC, volleyball is the one sport that the SEC doesn't do as well. So like we'll run through the SEC. Florida is the only other team that's good. So he's playing this non conference schedule ride and so far doing well.

00:09:57
Speaker 2: I love it. You know, so many coaches early in the conference season season they want to play these cupcakes. He's like, hell no, we're gonna go after the big boys, big girls, and we're gonna chill them what we're made of. They're definitely the best team on campus. We don't talk about him enough. They deserve all the recognition they're getting right now.

00:10:10
Speaker 3: And next year, these teams they played are coming here. So I don't know what if you're gonna have a next year home schedule, but they'll probably have like the best volleyball home schedule next year of any team in the country.

00:10:20
Speaker 4: Who's next, Dennis is next? Dennis? Go ahead, Dennis?

00:10:26
Speaker 7: Hey, can I make a a comment question about the video? Whoever operates that before? Of course you can't on the game here the video. I'll tell you what this video, whoever operates the video on big board horrible. Every time we go on defense, they start the stupid blue white chant on the video board. You're chilling.

00:10:48
Speaker 3: I've heard more complaints about the blue white chant. I didn't realize that was such a big deal to people, but it was. I did hear it on the game broadcast, and it did seem like, I'm with you, maybe we retire that for when it's loud.

00:11:04
Speaker 7: I mean, when you're doing the blue white chant, you actually have a gap there between the blue and white. With jizzer offense, you know that they can communicate. It's a horrible chance. People are looking at the video boards and you're looking at the at the play on the field, it's it's I don't know who's operating it, but they they they need some help. Uh. As far as the game, if you listen to Van hows during Tom Leach, uh, obviously the quarterback quarterback play kind of costs us that game because, uh, according to Van House, he there are some wide receivers skimmed opening during that game and we just missed them.

00:11:43
Speaker 4: Well, that may be right, he would know better than me.

00:11:45
Speaker 3: And by the way, while I'm gone and uh, we're gonna have through. We were playing in this last week. While I'm gone, they're gonna have a lot of guests, uh, folks on here. Van Hiles is gonna be on the show one day, you know, Jack given Richie Farmer, there's gonna be during my two and a half weeks gone. You're gonna not not have to hear my voice, but you will hear a lot of voices around UK sports that you don't hear as much on this show. They're each gonna be doing guest appearances on this so hopefully folks will enjoy and Van Hiles will be one of those. So what was your second thing?

00:12:21
Speaker 8: Uh?

00:12:22
Speaker 7: I think Stoops gets a lot of bad rap for the offensive coordinators with the number he's had. Lim Cohen was here twice and left for NFL job.

00:12:31
Speaker 4: Thus two times.

00:12:32
Speaker 7: Uh. Then you've got Eddie Gran that was basically ran out of here. Uh, pretty much by the fans in my opinion, because in my opinion that year with the Lim Bowden that was impressive. He could probably get the best job as OC that year.

00:12:51
Speaker 3: Now, Ednie Grand and I appreciate the call Eddie Grand. I think in hindsight, Ryan Lemon, we might have we might have been a fan. We might wish Eddie was still here to be honest with you because he he actually we won most of the time he was here.

00:13:08
Speaker 2: How many times on a Monday morning show like this since Eddie Grant has left, we talked about the same issues Kentucky's been having.

00:13:15
Speaker 4: On offense, and Eddie didn't have those, didn't.

00:13:17
Speaker 2: Have those when he was here, but ever since he left him like so many Monday mornings, we can discuss poor clock management, poor offensive schemes, for play calling, you know, the same thing over and over and over.

00:13:26
Speaker 4: We talked about this on Cover zero.

00:13:28
Speaker 3: But Shannon Liam Cohen, his owner is name, it's Tony Kahan's dad, it's something conn And he has a mustache that's an amazing mustache. And there's a postgame locker room video Liam Cohen wins his first game as coach of the Jaguars and he hands Liam Cohen the ball and he goes, starting today, we win forever.

00:13:51
Speaker 4: Thought it was aline. He was like, we win forever.

00:13:55
Speaker 6: Such a strange dude, but he, I mean, he is pretty good offensive coordinator.

00:13:59
Speaker 4: No the owner or said it to Leo.

00:14:01
Speaker 3: Oh okay, but I think there's a lot of pressure saying Lilliam's gonna have to win for the rest of time.

00:14:05
Speaker 5: If I'm calling, I'm like, I hope this isn't print into my contract. We're the Jaguars. I know we get to play the Titans twice, but I can't win every game.

00:14:11
Speaker 4: Now he thinks they're winning forever. Who's next?

00:14:15
Speaker 7: God?

00:14:16
Speaker 1: Bluegrass?

00:14:16
Speaker 4: Up next? Bluegrass? I got a minute? Go ahead?

00:14:20
Speaker 7: All right?

00:14:21
Speaker 9: Tells I just I need to take a look at it. I need to take a look at what I do. I'm in a mountain all day breaking my bag. Then I traveled down under Lexington. I'm feeding my kids. I'm spending four or five hundred dollars. When is enough enough?

00:14:37
Speaker 2: Man?

00:14:37
Speaker 9: I mean, I love this team. I don't want to give up on the team. But you asked me to do the same thing every weekend. And where am I benefiting from this at all?

00:14:49
Speaker 4: Well?

00:14:49
Speaker 3: I went into great detail on the postgame show. I won't repeat it here, but you can hear it on podcasts, and it was that exact point, and I appreciate the call. The short version is you go to a UK game with your family. That is a five hundred dollars or more investment. We ask people to do it, and the school, the program has got to start giving it back, whether it is is an experience or winning, it has to start becoming a reward because or otherwise you're gonna see people start to say the investment is not worth it. And you know when you sit there and think about driving the whole way to get there, eating before going to the game, and the tickets, eating after anything you get while you're there coming back, that is a for some families that might be one thousand dollars on this particular day. Then you're asked to do it six or seven times during the year. You're gonna have to start giving something for people back or they're gonna say, I got other things that I can do. When it comes to physical health, you want a physical therapist you can trust. That's Court Physical Therapy. For over thirty five years, Court has been an orthopedic in sports physical therapy throughout Kentucky, providing care to athletes and we can warriors alike. The physical therapists from Court can help you as well. With over seventy convenient locations. Go to Court dot com. That's KRT dot com, the best in rehab for.

00:16:08

00:16:09
Speaker 3: We'll take a break here at the KSR Golf scramble thoughts are by the City of Somerset, Lake Cumelin Tourism, Somerset tourism in.

00:16:15
Speaker 4: The Virginia's Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:16:19
Speaker 3: Worker back of is Kentucky Sports Radio A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two seven seventy four five two five four. By the way, the Texas, I always forget Texas in the SEC. Also very good at volleyball. They're actually right number two now, so we'll get a chance. So now they're gonna play six of the top ten times because they will get Texas as well.

00:16:40
Speaker 5: Drew Skinner's not afraid. I mean cal would famously say any time anywhere, and how Pope say any once at all. Skinner's actually living it. Sure the best programs out there. He wants them on the schedule.

00:16:50
Speaker 4: I love it. That's good.

00:16:51
Speaker 3: Let's talk about KSR. Parlay nearly hit for the second week in a row. Let's sit there and say, all right, we started to day Illinois over Duke easy win minus two and a half. They won forty five nineteen. It was a little bit closer for Drew, but he got his what was.

00:17:07
Speaker 4: It Michigan State? We needed o ten shit State got it overtee.

00:17:10
Speaker 3: Then late at night, Washington State, listening to my man uh Shannon held on against San Diego State.

00:17:17
Speaker 4: That game finished at one forty eight in the morning.

00:17:21
Speaker 3: Could have been back to back KSR parlays, but Ryan Lemon led a big dud when he bet on West Virginia.

00:17:28
Speaker 4: Boop boop.

00:17:29
Speaker 6: Dude, what do you have to say for yourself? I lost money because of you. You owe me five dollars.

00:17:35
Speaker 2: I felt so good about that pick. Maybe that's why I didn't win.

00:17:38
Speaker 3: Literally, if if you had won that we would guarantee to be up for the years we would be we'd be two and zero, and we would guarantee a positive result for the year if you had just won. I mean, I can't keep picking all these winners if you're gonna lose.

00:17:51
Speaker 2: I feel like we're all gonna bounce back next week, next week week.

00:17:54
Speaker 4: I don't know.

00:17:55
Speaker 5: It's a you there were undefeated people at this time.

00:17:58
Speaker 4: It's exactly three of us two and oh so.

00:18:01
Speaker 2: Seven out of eight picks to start the season.

00:18:03
Speaker 4: That's good, though, seven out of eight picks.

00:18:05
Speaker 3: I mean, I'd like there's people out there charging money for their picks drew that haven't gotten seven out of eight.

00:18:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do we make them do to punishment?

00:18:14
Speaker 2: Well, it's just do your homework the fighting, which Barnhardt's got me. Ohio beat West Virginia, so ye.

00:18:22
Speaker 4: Want to be pretty pretty bad at football.

00:18:24
Speaker 3: Let's a couple other little things that happened North Carolina. Bill Belichick says, hey, Patriots people, you cannot come to the game. They win the game, they go to Charlotte and they win, so good for him. But what do you think about the University of Charlotte. They on the jumbo tron had a gold Digger camp.

00:18:43
Speaker 2: Love it.

00:18:44
Speaker 3: It just showed women in the crowd with men uh.

00:18:49
Speaker 4: And said that they had the gold Digger camp. Is that fair? Shit?

00:18:53
Speaker 6: Absolutely, it's fair. Any chance you have to troll your opponent, you should do it. And I think that is a very creative way to troll Old Bill Belichick's absolutely what.

00:19:03
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I don't care if the Duke Blue Devils want to do a gold digger camp. Everybody should do a gold Digger cam. It's already been done.

00:19:11
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:19:12
Speaker 5: I'm enjoying all of this, and he deserves all of this. But there is a little part of me. That's like the great Bill Belichick is going out as a joke, like everyone is making pay.

00:19:21
Speaker 6: At least he's happy, I know, but I mean we're not happy that he's happy. I'm happy for him.

00:19:27
Speaker 4: This guy that ran like that's very pro the whole thing.

00:19:29
Speaker 6: Look, man, my guy, Bill has all the money in the world and he's got it. He deserves to be happy at this point in his life. He's an old man. He doesn't care he wins or loses. At North Carolina, he's got He's got Jordan.

00:19:41
Speaker 5: We hear so much about the Patriots Way. It was like a military operation in there. He's one of the greatest NFL coaches of all time, and now we're watching him his girlfriend and her disco pants is like tugging on his shirt on the sideline. One money to go to the concession stand is It's just sad to see him go out like this.

00:19:56
Speaker 6: I respect it.

00:20:00
Speaker 3: I'm kind of with Shannon though, in the sense of if he's happy, what do you care? I mean, like, if he's if he's if he's happy, what then then it is what it is? We who are we? Florida loses at home to South Florida. Their next four games are all against teams ranked in the top twelve. Florida plays Georgia, LSU, Miami, and Texas A and M in their next four games. They lose to South Florida. Ryan, I don't know if I'd want to be Billy Napier. By the time they get to us, they might have their season might have already collapsed in November.

00:20:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was on the hot seat last year. Then they kicked Kentucky's butt. Kind of first started them pretty well, pretty well, played pretty well, then kind of played pretty well the rest of the season, on the hot seat again. I don't know if he can survive a second year this debacle.

00:20:45
Speaker 3: Well, he was, they were terrible two years ago and then it looked like last year. But you're right, they beat us and then kind of went on a run.

00:20:53
Speaker 4: Droe to Disease survived this one. I mean, they have this.

00:20:56
Speaker 3: They had the hardest schedule in the country before losing to South Florida.

00:21:00
Speaker 5: This has been my best take all year. I think Kentucky's gonna win that game in November, and now when they're losing to South Florida at home early and feeling even better. I made one futures bet in college football one and it was the Florida under because it was seven and a half. I don't think they're good, and I don't think Billy and April will be there at the end of the year. And it has already started to crumble and we're not even to the middle of September yet.

00:21:22
Speaker 4: So one more you like trolling, Channon?

00:21:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oklahoma State played Oregon, and Mike Gundhy during the offseason was like, Oregon's got all this money, you know, they think they can just buy their way to a national championship. They get all these players, we're working hard, blah blah blah. So they play on Saturday. Oregon beats Oklahoma State sixty nine to three, and during the fourth quarter, while up sixty nine to three, every break they just play come on, come on, listen to the talk.

00:21:54
Speaker 4: They do it the entire fourth quarter. Do you like that?

00:21:57
Speaker 6: I do. If I were in charge of the music, I would probably be doing the same. So I love it.

00:22:01
Speaker 4: See, I just wonder. I think that's hilarious.

00:22:04
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:22:04
Speaker 3: Could you ever see a world that Mitch Bartinhart would let our people troll?

00:22:08
Speaker 2: Like, no, no, we're to be respectful to the opponent.

00:22:12
Speaker 3: I think the money talks is pretty hilarious, especially since Gundy started it right with all of his.

00:22:17
Speaker 4: Comments, who's up next, Brett? Is next, Brett? Go ahead, Brett.

00:22:23
Speaker 10: I just want to think about how much joy we got when we switched to zone in the Duke basketball game. I don't think it's too much to ask for our offensive coaching staff in football to make a simple adjustment like that. They keep playing the same offensive scheme the entire game. It's like he scripted the entire game and if old missus quarterback, theres two picks in the first quarter, and their complete offensive philosophy changes that.

00:22:54
Speaker 4: They that you're exactly right.

00:22:56
Speaker 10: They do more quarterback run. Like I don't think it's too much to ask just.

00:23:00
Speaker 4: For you are exactly all right. That's a great point, and I appreciate the call.

00:23:03
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin saw that their game plan wasn't working, adjusted it started adding in more quarterback run and their offense started to click.

00:23:12
Speaker 4: We just don't do that lot.

00:23:14
Speaker 3: We just you don't see those mid game adjustments that changes the way we play. Very often with our football team. We'll take a break and be right back. We're gonna play something I think you're really gonna like next like at Tucky Sports Radio.

00:23:27
Speaker 4: Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio.

00:23:29
Speaker 3: A beautiful day here in Summerset for the Somerset Golf scramble.

00:23:32
Speaker 2: Folks eating lunch.

00:23:34
Speaker 3: It is gorgeous, little chilly outside, but otherwise ready to go. If you're gonna play golf. This is better than being suffocating in heat. Tomorrow we are in Lebanon at the Cornbread Hemp Cornbred Hemp Field. You if you're in the area, you're welcome to go. What's the address, Mariobilly? You know he's on the phone. We'll figure it out, but it'll be online. But we are at the Cornbread Hemp facility there. Outside it's kind of cool. You'll see where it's all grown. I'm looking forward. I've been to the one in Lexington, but not the one there. One person writes on the texts machine, Matt. I've been to every UK home football game but two since nineteen seventy six.

00:24:13
Speaker 4: Wow, I've seen some terrible football.

00:24:16
Speaker 3: But I have to tell you Saturday frustrated me as much as any game I've ever been to. From being disorganized, no sell service, crappy game atmosphere, the good thing about Mark stuobis he's brought to me the point that when I walk in the gates, I feel we have a chance. However, the disorganization and lack of fundamentals is brutal. I'm gonna go Saturday to see Cutter, but if we don't improve by the time we come back home next week, I'm done. I'd rather just watch it home because in college football games last forever, think about that. That is the kind of comment UK needs to listen to, because I get literally dozens of those a week and they're real and like the folks that UK can go on it's just wine and burber, but it's it's real. It's what is out there, Drew. And that's just one example and decades.

00:25:07
Speaker 5: What he said seventies seventy six, seventy six missed two games just shows you how bad it's gotten. And they're right about the atmosphere last week was worse. I'll give him a little credit on this. I think they brought my Guy Warren piece back. There was a little more upbeat music, grocery was back, but still just overall, it's it's not good. I know you mentioned Auburn and we can't be Auburn. I get it, but you see some of these other schools and it's like we're not even in the same conference as them when it comes to some of this stuff.

00:25:33
Speaker 6: But it's one thing to lose a casual fan, but when you lose somebody that's been a fan to that degree for so long that that's a problem.

00:25:40
Speaker 3: By the way, UK Athletics send out a bunch of social media things saying, yeah, playing Grove Street like we didn't play it the week before.

00:25:49
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's not a you know you did.

00:25:52
Speaker 6: They didn't get the right situation out there wasn't the right situation.

00:25:56
Speaker 4: But he was crazy.

00:25:57
Speaker 3: People were happy when they when they played it.

00:26:00
Speaker 4: One person rights, Matt.

00:26:01
Speaker 3: Do you think it was rude that Old miss fans did a chant during my Old Kentucky Home? I talked about this on the post game show. Honestly, no, I mean, what, like, that's our song, but why should they.

00:26:16
Speaker 4: Care about it? YEP?

00:26:18
Speaker 3: I mean it's not again our state songs my old Kentucky Home, but Tennessee state song is Rocky Top? Are you gonna be respectful to Rocky Top just because it's their state song?

00:26:27
Speaker 5: I do cast chance over the other team stuff. If I'm somewhere, how.

00:26:31
Speaker 2: Many times on the road do we hear go Big Blue while the other.

00:26:33
Speaker 3: We brag about so like we I mean, we treat my old Kentucky home like it's the national anthem to us, and I do too. I love it, but you can't expect people that have no connection to it to do it. It's not like the national anthem. So I mean, I I can't be mad at them about it, but you gotta be so good that they don't have anything to cheer about it.

00:26:55
Speaker 6: It's embarrassing that they're louder than us.

00:26:58
Speaker 5: Singing was about a miss fans when on my walk back, if you, oh, miss fans over the age of twenty five, a lot of fun, gracious love Lexington under twenty five. They were looking for trouble and it wasn't a small group. I wouldn't be shocked if there were some stories of fisticuffs after that game, because the ole miss kind of the Friday College crowd. They were going around looking for trouble out in that parking lot.

00:27:20
Speaker 4: They could have come to me, they'd gotten it, got it.

00:27:22
Speaker 6: Right, they could have gotten their picture taken.

00:27:26
Speaker 4: I don't want to play something.

00:27:28
Speaker 3: You may remember the story I talked about last week where the woman in Whitesburg she found a drunk raccoon and a dumpster and she gave it CPR and saved its life.

00:27:39
Speaker 4: You remember that, yo?

00:27:40
Speaker 6: What it was to show that? Okay, that's quite a lot.

00:27:44
Speaker 4: Of great story. Well that's the story. It's a woman fights a.

00:27:48
Speaker 6: Drunk raccoon in a dumpster dumpster.

00:27:50
Speaker 4: Pulls it out, gives it CPR, and saves its life. I believe that in Kentucky. In Kentucky.

00:27:57
Speaker 3: So on ESPN for Matt and Myer and we're now we're going back to having a celebrity guest picker every week.

00:28:03
Speaker 4: We picked a celebrity.

00:28:04
Speaker 3: I thought, who's better forget week one than the woman who did it perfectly? That the woman from Kentucky who saved the drunk raccoon that.

00:28:12
Speaker 4: Was in the dumpster.

00:28:14
Speaker 3: So we had her on and it's one of my favorite things I've ever heard. And I couldn't just leave it to the national audience. I have to play it for our Kentucky folks. This is Misty Combs from Lecher County. Remember this is on national radio, and I have to tell you I've done a lot of interviews on ESPN, never gotten more response. ESPN's thinking about putting it out as a clip today. We'll see if they do it, but either way, I'm playing it on this show. Here is my interview, and listen for Myron giggling in the background during this whole thing. Here's Misty, the woman who saved the drunk RACCOONLMS.

00:28:50
Speaker 4: From Lecher County, Kentucky. Misty, how are you?

00:28:54
Speaker 11: I am great, all I'm.

00:28:57
Speaker 4: Doing wonderful, Misty.

00:28:58
Speaker 3: Now I read the store you this week found a drunk raccoon in a dumpster and you gave it CPR. It's an amazing headline. But give me quickly some details.

00:29:12
Speaker 11: Uh. So, the raccoon I found in a dumpster and it had got so drunk it had fell over into some water and it had drowned. And I was able to get it out of the dumpster and it was dead or close to dead. It was not breathing. So I did CPR on it and I was able to bring it back to life and it's living.

00:29:36
Speaker 3: Now that's awesome. Now let's go do got drunk? How did it get you drunk?

00:29:43
Speaker 12: So?

00:29:43
Speaker 11: The dumpster was at a Moonshine Distillery, and they had put their fermented peaches in that dumpster, and it had got in there with one of its siblings, and it had ate those peaches apparently all night, until it had got so drunk it couldn't eat anymore.

00:30:06
Speaker 4: You like that, Miron That happened sometime. I just amazing, amazing as amazing story.

00:30:14
Speaker 3: All right, So you see the drunk peach eating raccoon and the dumpster. Most people would see that and just keep walking. What made you decide to save it?

00:30:25
Speaker 11: Well, I'm a nurse and I'm also a mother, and its mom was standing close by, and she was making like some cheeter chatter noise, and I think she was trying to get her attention, like she wanted us to help it. And I mean, I'm an animal lover. So I went over there and I got it, and I just started doing chess compressions and beating on its back a little to get that water out of its lungs, and it finally started to breathing again.

00:30:56
Speaker 4: This is my favorite part. So you did seepr on a racket?

00:31:01
Speaker 11: I did?

00:31:02
Speaker 4: I did? That is awesome, Misty, Seriously, you are a saint. No one else would do that. So once it was over, did it, thank you?

00:31:12
Speaker 11: Well, it was still drunk. So it's still the rest of the day. And we've seen it to the the future while life came and got it. But they brought it back to me the next day. I was sort of shocked they did that, and I got to turn it loose back where its mom lives. They are at the health department that I work at.

00:31:32
Speaker 4: That is awesome. We're good. You can stop with it. You can stop it right there. Well, it was still drunk. There you go.

00:31:42
Speaker 6: I've had some nights on moonshine. I thought they kind of relate to this raccoon a little bit.

00:31:46
Speaker 7: Now.

00:31:46
Speaker 6: CPR would also imply mouth to mouth.

00:31:49
Speaker 3: New mouth to mouth, chest compression, and then according to her, I don't know if this is scientific CPR beating on its back. It worked though, I don't know if that's if it's textbook, but I like it.

00:32:00
Speaker 2: Right she acts like that that's a regular occurrence, and let your county act like you just do it. Let your county.

00:32:05
Speaker 4: I loved it.

00:32:06
Speaker 3: I Drew absolutely loved the story, absolutely love Misty, and I love that she got to be on national radio. At first, my producers called her and asked her if she would come on. She said no, she said I'm not doing that. So then I was like, let me call her. So I called her and I was like, Misty, come on, this will be fun. And she goes, I don't know anything about sports, and I said, who cares?

00:32:27
Speaker 4: Neither do I let's just do it.

00:32:30
Speaker 3: She then picked games with us Shannon. Every game she would pick the team that was an animal.

00:32:36
Speaker 6: That makes sense, that checks out. She's an animal lover.

00:32:39
Speaker 3: So I think it was like Falcons Bucks, And I said who you got? And she goes Falcons and I said, why, well, it's a bird, of course, I.

00:32:47
Speaker 6: Thought she understands a buck's also an animal, right.

00:32:49
Speaker 2: Though, No, it's a buccaneer. It's like a pirate.

00:32:52
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, see, maybe you shouldn't act like you're so smart.

00:32:56
Speaker 6: I was thinking of Milwaukee Bucks.

00:32:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like, see you think Milwaukee Points football.

00:33:01
Speaker 5: As good as the story was, her accent was the best part though.

00:33:04
Speaker 2: Her saving How could you not love her after what you just heard? That story right there?

00:33:09
Speaker 3: I love her and she Letcher County. It should be very proud of a woman who sees a raccoon and says, you know what, I'm gonna save it.

00:33:17
Speaker 6: I love it.

00:33:17
Speaker 4: That is not something that's the story of the year.

00:33:20
Speaker 5: She heard the chitner chatter from the mama.

00:33:21
Speaker 4: That's how she knew.

00:33:22
Speaker 2: So they take her to the Humane Society whatever for it to sober up. It's like putting the drunk tank.

00:33:27
Speaker 4: That's program.

00:33:30
Speaker 3: Hey, when it's the final drive and you need to win, go to Don Franklin's family of dealership. So for six thousand new and pre owned dealerships, there's a bunch of them right in this area. I know Somerset has them and more. Go to Don Franklin's family.

00:34:28
Speaker 4: Corey.

00:34:29
Speaker 5: He's got a team.

00:34:30
Speaker 3: He's ready to rock. And I'll be on eighteen here with you. You're ready to do some putt.

00:34:34
Speaker 2: We'll probably knock down a few eagle putts for some people today.

00:34:37
Speaker 3: This is a reachable par five and with always a good time. You make about one putt a year.

00:34:42
Speaker 6: That should be good for one putt. Yeah, usually it's a last scrambley is one for one very first one. Hey, he should have stopped right there.

00:34:48
Speaker 2: It just walked away.

00:34:49
Speaker 4: Should have walked away?

00:34:49
Speaker 3: Eight five nine two aight oh twenty two eighty seven.

00:34:52
Speaker 4: Who's next?

00:34:52
Speaker 2: Rick flashes up?

00:34:54
Speaker 4: Next flash go ahead?

00:34:57
Speaker 8: Hey, Matt, do we think uh Bush Hampton go a hold of some of those Letter County peaches.

00:35:01
Speaker 11: Saturday.

00:35:02
Speaker 8: I'm just trying to wrap my mind around what I witnessed. Now I'm gonna start negative, but I'm gonna end positive, So UH need to do a welfare check on my boy, Drew Franklin. I'm a fellow UK football and Tennessee Titans fan, so it was a rough weekend.

00:35:19
Speaker 3: Uh weekends brother practice, Yeah, just another oh two weekend, but this one hit a little differently, just with the.

00:35:29
Speaker 8: Complete just coaching malpractice and incompetence. I just I still I'm in shocked by what happened, but I'm oddly positive because I think our biggest obstacle is not the opposing team or players, it's our damn coaching staff on both with both think how can an NTT coaching staff and NFL coaching staff? How can that happen?

00:35:52
Speaker 3: I'm with you, it's a great question. But it's happened. I appreciate it. Cauts happened a lot. It's happened a lot over the last few years. And I don't know. You know, what is it? You keep doing the same thing over and over. It's the what's it called? There's a saying about this. I can't think of it, but the definition of insaaning that's exactly right. It's doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. And that's what's happened with us for a number of years, and I don't know that it's gonna it's gonna stop. Hey, Rick, we got some breaking news.

00:36:22
Speaker 4: Look at that.

00:36:25
Speaker 3: Uh UK releases its depth chart for Eastern Michigan and Zach Calzada is still listed as the starter now, as you you noted in the break that does it.

00:36:36
Speaker 4: Sometimes they just don't update it, which.

00:36:38
Speaker 3: By the way, is a perfect example of how they're on top of things over there. So we'll see if Mark Stoops says something different in the press conference, but at least for now, the official depth chart says Kazakka.

00:36:49
Speaker 6: Right, the Eastern Michigan doesn't know what's gonna come at him on Saturday. Yeah, I don't know why you wouldn't update that. I think Cutter Bully clearly should be the starting quarter.

00:36:58
Speaker 3: What if it is Zach kazak I don't think he healthy enough to go this Saturday.

00:37:01
Speaker 4: What are you hearing? That sounds like a man who has some scuttle buck.

00:37:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's got a shoulder injury. Like even if he was number one, I don't think he could go this weekend.

00:37:08
Speaker 5: I've been hang on, We've been here for an hour and fifty minutes.

00:37:12
Speaker 4: By the way, just for the record, we've been here an hour and fifteen.

00:37:14
Speaker 3: Minute, fifty minutes to the end of the ship said, what looks to be something he knows? Would you like to give us? Is this scoop or scuttle bus?

00:37:23
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think this scuttle bud scuttle buck?

00:37:25
Speaker 4: And what is the scuttle buck that cutters?

00:37:27
Speaker 2: It's Cutter's game. He's gonna start because Calzada, I don't think is going to be healthy enough to go.

00:37:31
Speaker 4: So you're calling it Cutter is started.

00:37:33
Speaker 2: I would be shocked if he if it's something different.

00:37:36
Speaker 4: And you're saying that Zach Calzati is.

00:37:37
Speaker 2: Hurt, hurt, his shoulders hurt, so I think they want to sit him out a week.

00:37:41
Speaker 4: So you're saying the depth chart's not correct.

00:37:43
Speaker 2: It's not correct at all.

00:37:44
Speaker 4: Can I just ask a quick question? Yeah? Why did you wait till now to say that?

00:37:49
Speaker 2: I know we get to it eventually.

00:37:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, with the three minutes left in the show.

00:37:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I can't say everything you know in the first five minutes of the show. What else would you say the rest of the.

00:37:59
Speaker 4: Are you trying to make it like a novel with a secret twist.

00:38:02
Speaker 2: At the end. Me personally, I wish they had gone to Cutter in the second half. You come out of halftime, You got all halftime to design an offense, and you come out.

00:38:10
Speaker 3: And you get unbelievable to me, Like, you didn't tell us that you were gonna wait, you just held that in this entire time.

00:38:19
Speaker 2: Well, I think it was kind of understood everybody kind of. I think it was started the show where you said, like Mark said, we're going with Cutter. I want to see Cutter. Well, did you think it was understood?

00:38:28
Speaker 6: No, No, not entirely. I thought it was clear though that he would likely start, but I didn't have any inside scoop.

00:38:35
Speaker 3: But the hurt part, yeah, I mean you're saying that he's too hurt to play.

00:38:40
Speaker 2: I think they just want to give him a week's rest.

00:38:42
Speaker 5: Maybe you suttle Button.

00:38:44
Speaker 2: I'm scuttle Button.

00:38:45
Speaker 3: All I know you. I know how to read your brain. It's it takes a translation, but I know that you know something. I cannot believe you wait until the end of the show. It was next Chester is next Chess, Go ahead, Chester, Matt.

00:39:04
Speaker 13: I'm frustrated like everybody else, but I want to just say something. And I do think it is time for everybody in the.

00:39:10
Speaker 7: Big Blue Nations look look at it, look look it.

00:39:12
Speaker 13: Over and evaluate their heart about this, because here's the situation. There was four minutes to go in that game, Matt, we were down one possession, they had lost their starting quarterback. We're kicking the ball to them, going to their backup, and two thirds of the stadium walked out on them. You can say what you want to say about all the things that need to be changed, and I'll agree, from the screens to the music, whatever it is. But one thing you cannot say is that those boys quit. And I want to encourage everybody to look in the mirror and if you if you're going to quit on the cat, then yes you should stay home. You should because those boys did not quit. There was eight seconds left, We had an onside kick that if we get it, we have a chance at the end zone to tie that game. And I'm just I'm just saying, we are a lot of negative things on here about this program and all this and that, and fine, fine, we all need to get better. We all need to get better, and we need to look ourselves in the mirror.

00:40:18
Speaker 14: Listen, if you if you got you've given your whole guy. You went for the money. You got four minutes to go and we still got a chance to win it. Cutter Bowley coming in, who everybody's complaining needs to be in there, and you're gonna pick your stuff up and walk right out on them.

00:40:31
Speaker 13: That's somebody's pat down there.

00:40:32
Speaker 14: You're just walking turning your back on them.

00:40:34
Speaker 9: Mat And I think that we need as a fan base.

00:40:37
Speaker 14: We couldn't be complaining about what I didn't tweet about the player's name. We don't know about them. We need to get over it.

00:40:44
Speaker 7: You're either in or you're out.

00:40:46
Speaker 12: You're a big clue, or you're.

00:40:47
Speaker 4: Not appreciate the college to us.

00:40:50
Speaker 2: Jeff, Yeah, beautiful call call today right there?

00:40:53
Speaker 3: Oh so you agree? I agree with you. Really, that's again the light. You haven't said that. For the first hour and fifty five minutes.

00:41:00
Speaker 2: We entered the stadium, we were still kind of in the game. Yeah, it'd been frustrating, but you're still in the game. Why did everybody leave there towards the end?

00:41:05
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:41:06
Speaker 3: It was odd, But I mean I told you, I said on the pust Game show, I'm not criticizing the fans. I'm not for this, but I chest are giving a good alternate opinion. Got about a minute quickly chest or next Tim is next Tim? Go ahead, Tim hey Man.

00:41:27
Speaker 12: Play that changed the whole complexion of the game. And that was the first quarter with fourth down and inches, and they threw like a thirty yard completion one line and they scored. And that from that pouring on it was the hole it was at play.

00:41:43
Speaker 3: Great play and I mentioned I'm mentioned on the show, and I appreciate the call. That's why Lane Kiffin is a great coach. He goes for it, but he doesn't just run up the middle. He throws it deep. That's why that's the kind of chances you have to take. Kiffin wasn't scared. They end up winning the game. DraftKings bet five, get three hundred dollars in bonus bets. This is the last night to do that. Vikings and Bears My Bears. Vikings are a one and a half point favorite in Chicago. They're honoring the eighty five Bears tonight fortieth anniversary.

00:42:13
Speaker 4: What you got.

00:42:14
Speaker 2: They don't lose, and they honor the eighty five Bears.

00:42:16
Speaker 4: Man, they didn't come here to start, No shuffle. They're gonna win tonight.

00:42:20
Speaker 6: They are gonna leave tonight. Vikings win tonight, Vikings.
