00:02:34
Speaker 7: It was it was a kid order, you know. I took one pancake and made too.

00:02:38
Speaker 2: I'd say Shannon was in third, Oh stop, I was, and Mario Mario was the winner.

00:02:45
Speaker 6: I was the first. You were nervous though, you were shaken when you were like, what was that?

00:02:48
Speaker 2: I couldn't get the specula under the pancake. I think I had a faulty myspatula.

00:02:53
Speaker 8: I am way out of place in the kitchen. I do not cook, and I don't know what I'm doing back there, and it showed, I think in the pancake flipping con us mine was not good.

00:03:01
Speaker 2: Well we will, uh Mario have that on social media this after. But I think you were probably the winner.

00:03:06
Speaker 4: Of course I was.

00:03:07
Speaker 6: I mean I cook more than anybody out this group, right, Jeff Thomus do you.

00:03:11
Speaker 5: Cook almost every night?

00:03:12
Speaker 4: All right?

00:03:13
Speaker 5: Never mind except when I'm working, So Jeff one though, I do like that.

00:03:17
Speaker 2: For those who don't know Jeff, he's a sports director of WTVQ here in Lexington, but he's also been a big member of the JMI broadcast with Tom Leach Tom each Colored Guy for how many years?

00:03:26
Speaker 5: Twenty four years?

00:03:28
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness? Has this is?

00:03:29
Speaker 5: Yeah? Twenty five years? Two thousand?

00:03:32
Speaker 4: Wow?

00:03:32
Speaker 5: What is this? Twenty five? Yeah?

00:03:33
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. So we got a question from the Avision Glass text machine ask Jeff, as a former receiver, what's going on with the current UK receivers? Great question, great question.

00:03:47
Speaker 5: I just think that you know, that's a hard question to answer here.

00:03:53
Speaker 8: Are they not getting open? Do you blame the receivers? Do you blame Calzada for not finding the right guy at the right time.

00:03:59
Speaker 5: I think when you see what they're trying to do, and when you know within the framework of the play what they're trying to do. When Zach was at quarterback, he wants to play to be perfect. And when you're playing in the SEC and when you're playing against the teams that Kentucky plays against, that perfect window is like that, you know, and it's very small and you have to throw a ball. For instance, I tell you a perfect pass in the game the other day, cut her through to Hardley Gilmore. Hardly hadn't made his cut yet, but he saw that the defender was on his outside hip and he threw it to the inside, and when Hardly turned to make his cut, boom, the ball was right there.

00:04:37
Speaker 2: Is that the old miscakes.

00:04:38
Speaker 5: It was a well, no, that was this was the game last week, two weeks ago. That was the same type of one. He was coming over the middle. We call that a just a deep end route and he just put it right where the only he could catch it. Uh. Zach has a very strong arm, so a lot of times, a lot like Will Levis, he waits till the guy gets open to throw instead of open and quarterbacks that don't have as strong an arm, they will throw to a point. And I know that on this pass play, the z which is the flanker, is going to run at fourteen yards and he's gonna cut to the sideline. So when I get the ball, I catch it, turn and throw to that point where he's supposed to be on the sideline. So that's why sometimes you see a ball thrown and the receiver somewhere else and the ball just kind of goes out there and you're going where is he throwing it? On every single pass play, it's a different pass if it's man, if it's zone, and if that zone's two deep or three deep, so there's three different pass routes that receiver has to run, and he and the quarterback have to see the same thing. So if it's man, you're running an out pattern. If it's an out called, if it's cover four, which is a safety or cover two where there's two safeties in a corner, you're running what's called a gear down. Instead of going out, you kind of slow down on the sidelines and you hear Tom or me say, he's got to get the ball there before the safety comes off. So that's it's just it's just different plays and they're just not on sync yet. I think that you're seeing Kendrick.

00:06:16
Speaker 2: Receivers followers that the quarterback's fault.

00:06:17
Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's more quarterback than it is on the receivers.

00:06:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the receivers are getting a lot of heat. I think that's why the good question, you.

00:06:25
Speaker 5: Know, had they not had probaties Kendrick Law had that big play called back right because of a hole. There's just a lot of things that are that are happening there that it's not It's just not a smooth operation yet. And that's what you get when you have new quarterbacks coming in.

00:06:41
Speaker 2: But you know the number one receiver that you're supposed to be Macklin, he's kind of been in a non factory. Yes.

00:06:45
Speaker 5: Yes, And again, one of the problems they have, and you hear this all the time, they can't get off the line of scrimmage. So teams are playing Kentucky and they know this, so they're gonna get real physical at the line, meaning they're lining up right across roaming and as soon as the ball snapped, they try to get hands on the receiver to knock him off of his scores or everything in football's timed, especially in the passing game. Right you've got I've got four seconds to throw the ball from where I'm standing to where that receiver is supposed to be, and anything at defensive back can do to get you off of that schedule is a win for them. So they have to be able to get off the line of scrimmage. Dane was very good at that because he was a little bigger, a little stronger, and he had great hands at the line of scrimage where he could get away from the defensive back a lot easier than a smaller guy like may or Mario. If we're out there and the guys can get their hands on us, so we have to do different things that take you time to get around the guy. If that makes sense to you out there trying to do this as basic, I'm just trying trying to say it is basic as I can't. So they're getting physical with the receivers of the line of scrimmage is the basic line, and they have to figure out a way to get off the line of screens.

00:07:50
Speaker 2: So is that why the tight ends have had success? Ye're able to.

00:07:52
Speaker 5: Do that exactly, because the tight ends are usually uncovered because they're in what we call a tailor or a slot, so they're all the ball. So the defensive back is like for.

00:08:01
Speaker 2: That lady tay or slot.

00:08:04
Speaker 8: These are more technical terms than we've ever spoken on KSR.

00:08:08
Speaker 5: Dude, you can't, I asked, I asked Liam when he was here, and I asked Bush. I said, call a play for me, because when I played, it was past eighty six Z corner. That's the play. Okay, that's all you say? You run in, Bill ranselok said, he goes, all right, eighty six Z corner on one ready, go and we run to the line screens you we run.

00:08:28
Speaker 2: The plane and to play.

00:08:29
Speaker 5: Now it's right over Wham zipper, Crimson tide you know, slam Yeah, And you're like, what in each one of those words is for a different person on the team. Sure so, and it's crazy now after.

00:08:53
Speaker 8: They do maybe why you saw Zach calasadago, what the hell are we doing right now? And some of these frustrations we're seeing where it's like endgame management and the guys aren't even lined up to go and the play clocks down to two.

00:09:04
Speaker 5: Because you know they call the plane out of the quarterback, right, Okay, So when that play calls in his ear and at fifteen seconds, the microphone gets shut off. So when there's fifteen seconds left on the clock, there's a guy that flips the switch and the coms goes dead.

00:09:19
Speaker 2: That's why you got the guys on the sideline still doing the signals.

00:09:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, well they're signaling the offensive line as to what they want to do and things like it. So every guy, so you see the different guys in different cause there'll be a guy in a green shirt and a guy in a red shirt. They'll give a guy in a black shirt. And all the coaches are wearing blue, right, or they're all wearing white, and each of the positions have a different guy to look at when they're doing the things. And some of them are dummies where it's not a real thing. They're just doing it to make the other team.

00:09:46
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:09:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michigan.

00:09:47
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:09:48
Speaker 5: So when when when Bush calls that play with twelve words on it, then he has to relay that to the team. If he gets one word wrong, it screws up the whole play.

00:09:58
Speaker 8: What you articulate it right, shows you how many moving parts there are to this because as an average fan, and I'll include myself as an average fan, we just watched the game and see it for what it is. But then when you break it down like that, it just sounds like absolute chaos.

00:10:12
Speaker 5: And I don't know how they do it. I couldn't do it.

00:10:15
Speaker 7: It's crazy.

00:10:16
Speaker 2: What's probably been obviously the biggest complaints so far has been the passing game. Yeah, the running the ball well, yep, offensive line has been great, but the passing game is the one area where there seems to be some deficiencies unless you talk about this passion to the tight ends that seems to have been off the charts so far.

00:10:31
Speaker 5: You know, forever we've been talking about like get the tight end the ball, right, they have great tight ends for the last ten years that have come in here to play. One of them's in the NFL. Brendan Bates.

00:10:41
Speaker 4: That's it.

00:10:42
Speaker 5: I name another one, right. I think these guys have at least too And I really think Boy will make the NFL just because of his sheer size at six foot seven, two hundred and sixte him yeah, yeah, but he can.

00:10:55
Speaker 2: He can.

00:10:56
Speaker 5: Willy's will. He's really good. The hands that we've seen from Catus is ridiculous this year. I mean, just yeah, he's he reminds me a lot of the Michael Mayer kid that played a bath in Notre Damon now with the Raiders, Yeah yeah, I mean he reminds me a lot of him, great size Matt Lucas played with played with me.

00:11:16
Speaker 8: I'm a little sidetracked right now because I'm looking up on the screen.

00:11:19
Speaker 7: Steven A.

00:11:19
Speaker 8: Smith has listed as top five wrestlers of all time, and he's got Goldberg at number one. You've got to be kidding me, over Flair, come on, he's yeah, he's gotten and the road Warriors Road Warriors, Yeah.

00:11:31
Speaker 5: Well that's that's a tag team. And Steve Austin's not even a.

00:11:34
Speaker 2: Goldberg is probably gonna come on the show with him or something, right, or he's got some deal.

00:11:38
Speaker 5: With let me tell you what the coolest thing ever remember a couple of years again is about five six years ago, Kentucky had a tight end and his dad was stinged. So we go to a game at Georgia and I we we hat off the bus, we walk into the the hotel and Rick Flair is sitting there drinking. But of course, but wise in the in the bar of the hotel when we're checking out my show. That's Rick Flair. What is Ric Flair doing here? And I'm all excited. Right then in walk sting and they hug each other and they're sitting there and having beers, and they we get off the bus and the kid I cannot remember his name to say my life, hey dad, He goes up and Rick Flair was his godfather. So then the next day at the game they're playing Georgia, Goldberg played there, so it's the three of them were on the sidelines together and I said, Dick Gabriel, you have to go to an interview this guy. We have to the greatest wrestler.

00:12:34
Speaker 7: That is awesome.

00:12:35
Speaker 8: I saw a video just this morning of Rick Flair at a bar because that's where he seen he lives to go, and I guess somebody challenged him to get down on it and do the plank challenge.

00:12:43
Speaker 7: And here he is, this guy.

00:12:45
Speaker 8: That I mean nearly died seventy five years old, nearly died just a couple of years ago, doing a four minute plank right there in the middle of the bar, shoes off and everything.

00:12:52
Speaker 7: And this guy he's unbelievable.

00:12:55

Speaker 2: So we got a couple of calls. We want to get you real quick. I got some great questions on the text machine for you, Jeff, So, who's up next? Rick? Mustang is up next? Mustang? Go ahead Mustang.

00:14:18
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, I'm loving this show. We gotta get Jeff on more often with the stories and next to notes. It's been amazing. Uh yeah, I got a couple of things. I'm the first time caller, so I'm driving through Knoxville today, I want you some big blue comfort. We're in this dirty ball territory. A couple of things while Maddie's out of town that he does that drive me crazy, and I want your all opinion on this. He says ninety. Dude, there's a t in there. You gotta say ninety. I don't know where he got that from. The Other thing he does, he always says, shaking your head even when people mean, yes, that's not right. Nodding your head up and down is yet shaking your heads? No, love, y'all fus.

00:14:51
Speaker 7: So those are the two things that bother you about Matt of all.

00:14:54
Speaker 2: The ninety cats. By ninety, well, we.

00:14:57
Speaker 8: Always make fun of Matt because he says Halloween and and TV like the emphasis. I think that's it's gotta be a Bell County, definitely.

00:15:05
Speaker 2: I think it's southeastern Kentucky bank for sure. Let's get another call, Rick, who we got god? Jerry up next? Go ahead, Jerry.

00:15:13
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, Hey, guys, quick question on the rivals. The only place I've heard them talk about tears as you guys everybolace else where I've heard Greg Sankey or people talk about this. They're just saying they're maintaining traditional rivalries and that's it. And the same room about Georgia is they've got three room board and traditional rivals obviously Auburn, Florida, the Cocktail Party, if they've got a rivalry South Carolina going back to eighteen nine, a Free Days, the SEC and if they busted up to any of these traditional rivalries this teer thing, people are gonna go nuts.

00:15:48
Speaker 2: All right, all right, I appreciate Phoe call are they doing the tier thing?

00:15:51
Speaker 5: I just think it's like he said, they're trying to keep the rivalries together. Look, I think we're kind of making a little too much out of this because it's probably going to change every four years. And the thing is you're gonna play every team in a two years fan, So what difference does it mean?

00:16:04
Speaker 8: Yeah, to the tiar thing, I think is just to try to keep it as fair as possible right now. I mean, there's only so much you can do, and there's going to be after you look at everybody's rivals, a few teams that are left over that you have to just kind of place together because that's what's left over. And I think you're gonna get some of that including maybe one or two teams that Kentucky ends up with.

00:16:23
Speaker 5: But he's right, you can't break up like Florida Georgia. I mean, that's the world's largest cocktail. Just awesome.

00:16:28
Speaker 2: You talked about like Auburn, Alabama, Mississippi State always there.

00:16:31
Speaker 7: Yeah.

00:16:32
Speaker 2: Uh. Stephen Borden was Sting's son, the Yeah, Steven Borden. Yeah, all right, just from the navyes and glass Tex machine. We got a couple of good ones here. What are the Cats focusing on the off week this week?

00:16:43
Speaker 5: He What Mark said is he has talked to a lot of his colleagues coaches around the country because if you look at their record coming out of bys, it's horrible. Yeah, since he's been head.

00:16:54
Speaker 8: Coaching, he has six and ten overall under Stoops Bob and nine going into the sec A game.

00:16:59
Speaker 5: Yes, So he called a bunch of different coaches what do you do? And they said, well, we gave an extra day off, but we practiced really hard. So this week they practiced hard. Tuesday and Wednesday were really hard practice. Where you do one versus one, you call it thud. You don't take the guy to the ground, you run up and you throw a shoulder into him. So they did that really heavy practices. Then they given him the whole weekend off. Then they've already started their South Carolina prep and then Monday, it's game week. You go back to what you're doing. So they said you have to do something to get that. You know, they're they're really hitting the weights and stuff because this is a week where you maintain during the season. You try to, cause you'll see a lot of guys like Kenny Petroviac, who is our center. When we started the season, he was only about two hundred and thirty five pounds. When the season ended, he was like two ten. Wow, you know, because you just lose weight because you can't get in the weight room as much. But now they have two off weeks, so in those off weeks you really hit the weights hard so you don't have that big drop off in your in your your muscle atrophy and things like that. As the season goes on.

00:18:02
Speaker 2: Eight five nine, two O two two seven, Who's next? Rick? Noah is next? Go ahead?

00:18:07
Speaker 5: Noah?

00:18:08
Speaker 11: Hey, Noah?

00:18:10
Speaker 2: Hey guys, can you hear me, yes, sir? Go ahead, noah, Hey.

00:18:15
Speaker 11: I just want to reach out.

00:18:16
Speaker 3: I uh.

00:18:18
Speaker 9: I used to work with Jeff decorro back at a certain news station over in Licensise.

00:18:23
Speaker 7: I want to reach out to Field and say Hi, what's up?

00:18:27
Speaker 2: No, how are you?

00:18:28
Speaker 5: Man?

00:18:30
Speaker 9: Hey, I'm doing good, sir, there are good to the other hear from you?

00:18:35
Speaker 5: Well, good to hear from you.

00:18:36
Speaker 2: That's a great call. Appreciate it.

00:18:38
Speaker 7: Noah that he's want to call and say hi.

00:18:39
Speaker 2: So if blind Joping of any other Jeff friends going out, I want to call and say Hi, You're a You're a creaker, You're a t treat guy. I will say this for you. One of your best friends is Kenny McPeak. Yeah, the horse trainer. You got to ride him to a Derby title and a Preakneus title, a triple crown forren there he man.

00:18:55
Speaker 5: A little bit that was that was pretty fun. I went to Baltimore and hung out with him up there as well. So we got the first two legs and yeah, his his business has just exploded since that, and good for him. But I mean, he's got a couple hundred horses now that he's trained. It's just it's crazy what he's doing.

00:19:14
Speaker 2: Got another quick text from the Avision Glass Tech Machine. Ask Jeff where we have trouble getting plays in and have to call time out so much.

00:19:21
Speaker 5: You know, I that is the sixty four thousand dollars question because look, you know, as soon as that ball spotted, you only have fifteen seconds to get to play in. So you've got to be thinking ahead and you've got to get in. Because here's the problem, and here's what people don't understand. So when you watch a game and you see a guy run on late to the field on the offense, yeah, the defense has a chance, and every defensive coach will go, Ryan, take your time, and you see the defensive remember the offense guy. The defensive guy comes in, he's taking his time because that cocks went ten nine. So if you don't have your personnel in by fifteen seconds and you have to sub then happens is you're gonna be able to get the referee is gonna step away, and there's two seconds, so you have to run that play. So see what I'm saying, You can't. You can't audible out of it every play you run. Every play that's run, the quarterback has a run and a pass play that he can audible to because of whatever the defense is. So you know, if I call this pass play. When I get to the line, I see, Oh this ain't gonna work. I'm gonna have to go check check check check. You see the quarterback when he goes up to the line, he's going like this. That means he's saying check check check, check check. So now all the linemen go what is it? And then he says whatever one of those stupid names again or you know Linus and Snoopy you know they have and then everybody says, oh okay, and then you run that play. So that that's why you just And that's one thing that Mark told Bush and goes, look, whoever the three receivers are out there, that's who we're going with. We're not gonna have this group goes in on first down, these guys going. If it's second and long, if it's second and short, these guys going. That's where you get into all the problems. Look, just play football. You get eleven guys, I just go, just do it.

00:21:06
Speaker 2: But then that's when the boot birds come out. You've been there. Yes, they're rotating people. The clocks winding down and they got to burn a time out. People hate that, yeap.

00:21:14
Speaker 6: The little things man lining up, you know, the booze come out, came out, but versus old miss or a little bit of booze, gotta be prepared.

00:21:22
Speaker 2: It just gives that sense of that they're not prepared exactly. No offensive game planer, you know, just kind of who what's going with's? They caught him on the tight shot said, what are we doing? You know?

00:21:34
Speaker 7: So are the players?

00:21:35
Speaker 8: I guess I hear a lot of times about offensive coordinators who have a script. Yeah, it sounds like that maybe Kentucky doesn't necessarily go off a script because they don't seem to know what the next play is going to be until it's you know.

00:21:46
Speaker 5: Well, a script is usually to start a game or start the second half right, because you know you're going to be ahead or behind it the second half. So you have you have a script, meaning six or eight plays in a row, I'm gonna run boom bo boom. And a lot of times coach will tell us Tom. Tom actually came up and I can't remember the game. It was Rich Brooks. I think it was Rich Brooks and he said, on the third play, they're going to run a double reserve reverse pass. And I'm like, how do you know that? And I go what he goes. Yeah, I was just down on the field and talk to and I can't remember which coach it was, but sure enough, first down they got like six yards. Second down it was like they got two or three more. And on third down, boop, there was double reverse pass is wide open.

00:22:27
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:22:27
Speaker 5: So that's that's what scripting means. But you can't script during a game because it's a different situation. So it's scripted at the start of the game, scripted to start the second half.

00:22:36
Speaker 2: This uh on the text machine from Matt in South Africa? Oh really, yeah, Matt from South I'm got to a text it in. What's the percentage chance Kentucky makes a Bowl game?

00:22:46
Speaker 7: Is that really for Matt?

00:22:46
Speaker 4: Did Matt actually text you?

00:22:48
Speaker 5: Of course?

00:22:52
Speaker 2: I am fifty nine?

00:22:53
Speaker 5: Okay, there you go, fifty nine percent?

00:22:56
Speaker 2: How old are you?

00:22:58
Speaker 5: Okay?

00:22:58
Speaker 2: It's shame is the one guy who's kind of been hanging on to the six win season this year.

00:23:05
Speaker 5: I will tell you this. I don't know a number. I'm not Noster Damas, but I'll tell you this. We saw in the Old Miss game. I think there's gonna be five games that are gonna be just like Old Miss. We're in the fourth quarter. It's gonna be a one score game one way or the other. And if you win most of those.

00:23:18
Speaker 7: Ye, this is definitely a swing game. Come out of against South Carolina though.

00:23:22
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take our break. Come back. A lot more coming from Wild Eggs and Tates Creek. Come out and say this. This is Kenteky Sports Radio. All right, welcome back Tekey Sports Radio live from the new Wild Eggs in Tate Creek. They've got three locations. Now this is the new location. Come out and check them out. There the official breakfast of KSR. We've had a great crowd today. A lot of people came in, had breakfast, had brunch. I you can have lunch, and then we have a bar breakfast, brunch and learner the bar Wild Eggs. We gave you our first Wild Eggs gift basket. We got a lot of goodies to give away here before the show is over. So hang on. And they just brought out Shannon Yes, a little birthday cinnamon roll with candles for our boy Mario for his.

00:23:59
Speaker 4: Birth Also, hey you guys, thank you Wild Days.

00:24:02
Speaker 6: Thank you to the fans of Big Blue Nation KSR fans for doing this. This definitely made my day. My day, I have such a long day, but my day's already made.

00:24:10
Speaker 8: Hey, we all love Mario, but can I take just a minute just to make fun of Mario something that happened earlier this week, please, When I had Richie Farmer on the pre show, I got to point out that that Mario thought that Richie Farmer played twenty years ago. So basically, in Mario's mind, he's so young. He thought that Richie Farmer played for Tuppy Smith.

00:24:30
Speaker 4: Listen, Man, I'm twenty, I'm twenty six.

00:24:32
Speaker 6: Now, yeah, you know I'm I'm I'm Those days are so far past.

00:24:37
Speaker 7: Dan, I understand you're young or old.

00:24:39
Speaker 4: Crazy, I'm a young kid.

00:24:41
Speaker 2: Drew was like twenty six when he started a KSR. That's what's crazy.

00:24:45
Speaker 7: I think I might have been twenty six when we started KSR.

00:24:48
Speaker 4: Oh wow, how wonder are you when you started?

00:24:51
Speaker 2: I was when my first he was six twenty eleven, so I was forty five. Okay, yeah, old enough to be your daddy. But two seven at the Clarks Pubbishop Phone never got another navation glass text. He got great questions for Jeff about football. Jeff for two minute drill situations. Shouldn't there be a set of plays the team knows are going to run pretty much?

00:25:13
Speaker 5: Yes? Uh, they practice two minutes every day in practice.

00:25:17
Speaker 2: So why they seem so disorganized those last two minutes of the first half. Not just one game, several games.

00:25:23
Speaker 5: Again, it's trying to get and I think Mark talked to Bush about this. I don't care about the perfect personnel. We have to get down the field like that. The the eleven guys you have out there, they should You should know if there's a guy outside of me. If I'm a receiver, I have to be off the line, right. If there's nobody outside of me, I have to be on the line. See, and that's where they got a penalty against Macklin.

00:25:52
Speaker 2: Yes it was against me.

00:25:52
Speaker 5: Remember he was he supposedly was on the line and there was a guy outside of me and that makes him ineligible. So it's just it just call the play. It doesn't have to be perfect. We just need to get it in there and go.

00:26:05
Speaker 2: Something Freddy has said for years, though they called it the middle eight, the last four of the first is gonna most of that awful.

00:26:11
Speaker 5: Yes, Why you know they talk about teams that make adjustments you say, oh, let's see the adjustments they make at halftime. Halftime consists of this. You go into the locker room, take your helmet off. They have orange slice. When I played, it was an orange slice and a Snickers bar. That's what we got. A Snickers bar and an orange slices. Now they have the Gatorade, shoes, gels, and shows, and they have pickles and healthy snacks, yes, healthy snacks and nuts and and things like that. But so that's the first five minutes. The next five minutes is the coaches yelling at each other and stuff about what they did wrong and right, and then they finally said, Okay, here's what we're gonna do. The offensive line goes with the offensive line coach and they're showing what are they doing? Why can't we block this guy? Well, he's doing this. Okay. Receivers what are they doing? Well, they're running this. It's nothing where you thought we were gonna come out and cover this and they're doing this, and they go Okay. Then the coaches come back together say oh, here's what we're gonna do to themselves that you go back out on the field. And in the NFL, it's basically you go in, you go to the bathroom, you turn around to go back out. It's only twelve minutes. It's crazy. Yeah, they don't say squat to you, but I don't know, and I agree with you, Ryan, it's the most important part of the game. Freddy's completely right because it yes. Yeah, And for whatever reason they stink coming out of Bye Weeks, whoever they.

00:27:40
Speaker 2: Play again, SHANEA. I forgot to We got a sponsor this segment.

00:28:38
Speaker 2: So we talked about the volleyball team. We depelled to mention them beating Louisville last night because the first time they'd beat Louisville since twenty nineteen. I didn't realiz it had been that long. But to do it on Louisville's home court at the UMP Center, What four or five thousand people there when they raked third in the country. I just tell you about where this volleyball program's at right now?

00:28:57
Speaker 5: Wait? Is there a more successful coach at Ukave than Skinner?

00:29:00
Speaker 4: Knowest he doesn't get talked about a lot.

00:29:02
Speaker 5: He's not making nine million a year either.

00:29:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.

00:29:05
Speaker 6: I don't know, man, Where do would they be ranked? Now, because I know Louisville did at number.

00:29:09
Speaker 5: Three be in top five. Obviously they number one and number three.

00:29:13
Speaker 2: There you go.

00:29:14
Speaker 8: I don't know what the rest of their schedule looks like, but they've already played just about every team in the top ten so far, so I think that's gonna serve them.

00:29:20
Speaker 7: Well when we get to.

00:29:21
Speaker 2: The that guy right there is Ron Turner, it is, I've heard about him. Yeah, break He's got the best Christmas decorations in the history of Christmas decorations every year. Yeah, take the kids, load up the car and go buy Ron Turner's house. Look at the Christmas decorations.

00:29:34
Speaker 5: They got it. They even have police out there, they directing traffic they do.

00:29:37
Speaker 7: Yeah, we could just go in his house.

00:29:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's in my parents neighborhood.

00:29:40
Speaker 2: And it's like, I got to tell him Ron survived a plane crash even one time.

00:29:45
Speaker 7: Oh wow, yeah he did. I can't hear them.

00:29:50
Speaker 5: He said the plane went straight down and he walked out.

00:29:52
Speaker 2: He walked out.

00:29:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, what a guy.

00:29:54
Speaker 2: Well, we mentioned the volleyball team. The UK hockey team is actually be on TV tonight on ESPN. Plus they're undefeated. They play inn C State. So if you're sitting around now to do and I check them out on ESPN plus the UK hockey team.

00:30:06
Speaker 5: Now do they still do the posters with the hot they remember they had Ashley Judge?

00:30:10
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, yea, Aura Beelle fund?

00:30:12
Speaker 8: Is that politically correct? In that your twenty twenty five? I've missed those posters personally, but.

00:30:16
Speaker 2: You know, well, Maria Montgomery just did one in the last year or so, and so I guess they're still doing.

00:30:21
Speaker 5: She still go by Maria Montgomery, Montgomery.

00:30:24
Speaker 2: Montgomery, Lantern. I don't know what she goes now, right.

00:30:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, Toddler, toddler, she calls them toddler.

00:30:29
Speaker 2: And one other kind of UK know, don't want to bring up she does.

00:30:31
Speaker 7: She calls him toddler.

00:30:32
Speaker 2: Did you see Khalil Whitney's name tweet?

00:30:35
Speaker 4: I did see that. He said he's thinking about moving back to Lexington.

00:30:38
Speaker 2: Don't you think that has to do with the TV The love he got from TVT.

00:30:41
Speaker 4: Has to man.

00:30:42
Speaker 6: I know Willie Carley Stein, he's I don't know if he's already moved, but he's definitely thinking about moving to Lexington. There's a lot of guys that you know played for UK and that they really want to come back. I know Dominique Hawkins, he lives in Richmond. So there's a lot of guys that like to come back feel big love, feel the love from Big Glube Nations and they you know, get it going well.

00:31:01
Speaker 2: Khalip was him and Arn'chie Goodwin were the guys that like missed out on that because they're season here for both of them, was kind of didn't go the way they wanted it to be, and both of them talked about how man they wanted to come back to kind of feel get that feeling that they missed out on when they were a player here.

00:31:15
Speaker 6: And it's just happy to see those guys, especially Khalil Whitney.

00:31:18
Speaker 4: I know when he was here he was kind of battling like a lot of mental health stuff.

00:31:21
Speaker 2: Yep.

00:31:22
Speaker 6: So it's good just for him to come back, you know, play for Lat Familia, you know, rep the Kentucky brand again and hopefully we'll see him back next next year for Lat Familia again.

00:31:30
Speaker 4: I'm sure we will. I'm sure we will.

00:31:32
Speaker 2: Eight five nine two o two two eight seven. That's our phone if you want to call and get on board. Uh, you know with Kentucky have the off week. We mentioned they're not very good coming off the off week'lloween.

00:31:41
Speaker 5: You knowed what you guys have a sweet tooth. Well, people just bring us free food weeks cookies, we have Halloween cookies.

00:31:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, we got all kinds of good stuff here.

00:31:53
Speaker 2: So you know after the bye week is South Carolina is Leonora Seller's gonna play against Missouri this weekend.

00:31:59
Speaker 5: They say that he is probable for the game Saturday.

00:32:03
Speaker 7: Okay, he went from questionable.

00:32:05
Speaker 2: To probable because that really you know, when he went out, they didn't look good at all.

00:32:09
Speaker 5: Agains if that affects your your the bets that you guys put together for DraftKings.

00:32:13
Speaker 7: Oh absolutely. At the end of the show, he.

00:32:15
Speaker 5: Plays, it's one thing. If he doesn't, they're a totally different team.

00:32:18
Speaker 7: Yeah.

00:32:18
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:32:19
Speaker 8: As I said yesterday, I felt like if Kentucky's gonna play their backup quarterback, the nice thing to do is to play your backup quarterback.

00:32:25
Speaker 7: South we shouldn't have to play. Yes, your started with our backup. It only seems fair that way.

00:32:28
Speaker 5: Exactly.

00:32:29
Speaker 2: Well, he kind of had his coming out party against this last ye year proger Field and you know on his way where his name is even floating around with the potential Heisman candidate at some point. But if he's out, I felt like Kentucky's chances go up. But you're coming off a bye week, you lost the last what two to South Carolina. I don't know, man, it's kind of a bit a big game for this Kentucky program to go down there and try to.

00:32:49
Speaker 5: Get a w huge for them to me, this sets the tone for the rest of the season because if you lose your now you're zero to two in conference play in two games, especially the Old Miss game that you could have had. You should have won that game.

00:33:04
Speaker 8: And I feel like our fan base is kind of somewhere in the middle, like we don't know if we truly believe in this team. Yet you go on the road and beat South Carolina, I think you can flip the fan morale or whatever you want to call it, just the overall vibes of this fan base.

00:33:16
Speaker 2: All Right, we got our final break, and we're gonna going back our final segment. We're gonna get away a lot of stuff here during this commercial break. We'll get your tickets out. We're gonna go through and give away a lot of goodies here and our friends Wild.

00:33:25
Speaker 7: D Ryan, get your KSR parlay ready.

00:33:27
Speaker 2: The KSR parlay is gonna hit this week.

00:33:30
Speaker 7: Get ready.

00:33:30
Speaker 2: We're gonna make it and Jeff's gonna help us with it. We'll be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. All right, welcome back, Ton Tanky Sports Radio. Our final segment here live from Wild Eggs and Tates Creek. What a great show. This has been a great host. They've been a good friend. Who'll get a good partner. We are the official breakfast of KSR Wild Eggs, so I appreciate all that. We're getting ready to do our Draft Kings parlay. Jeff, I don't know I do this one now, but our Draft Kings Parlay, maybe we struggled just a little bit. So we're expecting you to come in with an expert pick. Shannon's those picks are always wrong. Outside of that, I did.

00:34:01
Speaker 8: Have a bad pick last week. I took Virginia Tech. I don't know why I did, but I did, and that turned out to be a horrible pick. But your pick wasn't much better.

00:34:09
Speaker 7: South Carolina, South Carolina Vanderbilt and that score was thirty one seven.

00:34:13
Speaker 2: Dandy, you're gonna write, You're gonna write these down. You gotta put it, turn them in.

00:34:16
Speaker 4: Uh No, it's fine, you got it all.

00:34:18
Speaker 2: Right, Shan, you lead off the first one.

00:34:20
Speaker 7: You know, you guys go ahead because you said I'm got.

00:34:24
Speaker 5: Okay one game. So to me, this is who's for real in this game, and it's an SEC game. Auburn at Oklahoma. In this game, I think that I really love the way Matier has come in there and changed Oklahoma for the better. Guys are fantastic. They're playing at Oklahoma. It's a seven point line, and uh, I think Oklahoma shows the country that they're ready to be a top ten team. And I think I think Oklahoma wins this game. And I'm taking the seven.

00:34:52
Speaker 2: Oklahoma plus seven seven. Ye again, Aurn, go go ahead, Ryan, I'm going to Nebraska Michigan games. I'll bet on that team game. Nebraska is a one and a half point favorite in that game, So I'm taking Nebraska to cover, right, Nebraska one and a half.

00:35:08
Speaker 7: Mario, who you got?

00:35:09
Speaker 4: I'm going Tulane over oh Miss.

00:35:12
Speaker 7: That's what I was gonna pick.

00:35:14
Speaker 5: That's what I was gonna John, Well, did you hear what Kiffin said? No? He said next year. I think I'm going to be in SEC coaches meetings with John Somerll. He believes that summerw is gonna get and and everybody knows this the Florida job because they don't turn things around real quick. There's no way they bring Billy Napier.

00:35:32
Speaker 2: Basket to drive people crazy. If he goes coaches somewhere else in the SEC, it does.

00:35:37
Speaker 5: Well, who else went to Florida from Kentucky that everybody thought was going to be Kentucky's coach? Anyone basketball? What was his name? Billy that was waiting.

00:35:48
Speaker 8: Now I'm kind of torn as to what I should pick because Mario took my pick.

00:35:51
Speaker 4: Well, you have to say you told me to go first.

00:35:53
Speaker 8: Yeah, you're right, you're right, because I was still trying to figure out exactly what I wanted to do, all right, So Dabo Sweeney, he was wine, he was, you know, saying, well.

00:36:01
Speaker 7: If you don't look here, then you should just farm me all go somewhere else.

00:36:05
Speaker 8: So you know what, Syracuse is a sixteen and a half point dog, give me Syracuse in sixteen and a half. Wow, using sixteen and a half. Zach Clemson. It's Zach Clemson.

00:36:16
Speaker 2: So that is our casar partly this week Mario will have it posted and they'll Draft Kings will posted up where you want to participate everything. We try to help all of our listeners, you know, win a little cash. And the best way to do it in the best place to do it is at Draftking. So make sure to turn him out.

00:36:31
Speaker 3: Uh.

00:36:32
Speaker 2: The one thing that I think is the scariest part about this UK football program. What has happened last couple of years. And I hate it, but it seems like some apathy has set in. You know, we built up, we had these great ten win seasons, We're going to a bowl game every year. The last couple of years, they can't win an SEC home game. They lose, get some awful losses, and it just seems like apathy is starting to settle in. That's why I thought it was so crucial that Cutter Bowley was named the quarterback. So I think that did bring a little excitement into the life into the program, at least as far the fans are concerned.

00:37:01
Speaker 5: I just think this, I don't think you're gonna see the Joe Paternos and Bear Bryant's a coach that stays at an institution for twenty years, anymore. There's way too much money, there's way too much pressure. You know, Mark is set for life, but he knows right now if he wants to continue coaching, he has to turn this around. Yeah, I mean Texas A and m or Florida. Florida State is not gonna hire him if Kentucky continues four or five six wins when they're winning eight, nine or ten games a year. Now he's a hot ticket. I mean, where's he gonna go if he leaves Kentucky Toledo? Right, I mean right, Yeah, it's a big step down, and you're not gonna make nine million dollars at a max school.

00:37:40
Speaker 8: And Ryan, you mentioned apathy and the fan base, but we all know every fan base is fickle, and I don't think there's more of a fickle fan base than our very own fan base. So you win this game on the road against South Carolina, maybe pull a shocker somewhere along the way. I think you can flip this fan base just that quick. I think just a couple of games could be the difference from.

00:37:58
Speaker 2: Navision last texaschine from a guy and I both know we'll hear will remain remain anonymous. Why change personnel each play. It's dumb. If the guys in the game can't run the next play, why are they playing?

00:38:11
Speaker 5: Well, that's a guy that played college football and yeah, I think NFL too, didn't he He had a.

00:38:16
Speaker 2: Little drink of water in the NFL.

00:38:18
Speaker 5: No, that's just I agree one hundred percent with him. That you're playing. You know, it's almost like positionless basketball is what we used to play. You go in, you play, yeah, and now it's everything is a specialty first downs especialty group second downs, especially third and short elephant. That means you bring all the big guys in third and long, now you go with all the little guys in the game. It's just why can't you just throw eleven out there and let's go.

00:38:46
Speaker 2: Well, I agree, And it just seems like when they do that, that's when the confusion seems to start and they're looking over the sideline like what are we doing? You know, what play are we're running? That just doesn't seem have gotten any better over the last several years. I think that's what ben frustrating. Again, leads to something apathy and thank the people having the program.

00:39:01
Speaker 5: Well, I think that the one thing that Mark wants and he finally got it. This year is continuity and the coaching staff where you're not changing that offensive coordinator every year. The second year under Bush, I think it's going to get better as we go. The kids are getting a lot more comfortable in it.

00:39:16
Speaker 2: Eight five nine two two two Ah TV. You want to him squeeze it. We haven't been on hold right now, Rick, we have three callers. Oh my goodness, sorry I thought it didn't we anybody who's go ahead? Let's get somebody up here real quick, Greg, go ahead, Greg? Yeah, guys.

00:39:32
Speaker 11: On Mario's birthday here, I think. Did I hear right?

00:39:36
Speaker 10: Did he play against Golden in high school?

00:39:39
Speaker 4: No?

00:39:40
Speaker 6: So I I would play. We went to college together. I went to UK and we'd the football players. They would go to the rec center all the time. So we played against lin Bowden like every day. That's where you played against him at the rec at the rec center on college.

00:39:52
Speaker 10: Did you have to Did you have to guard him?

00:39:55
Speaker 4: Yes? No one else wanted to guard him. And I was up for the talent.

00:39:58
Speaker 2: He said, he gave me a good player.

00:40:00
Speaker 4: It's really good.

00:40:01
Speaker 2: All right, appreciate the punk. I'll try to get one more on real quick. Rick, who we got. Gork is up next, Gork go ahead, gork.

00:40:09
Speaker 11: Hey, Yeah, I just wanted to talk about something Jeff brought up last hour. The NCUBLEA on Wafford. That's I mean, they've been doing that forever and like because didn't UK get in trouble with the Claude batt thing. A lot of the people we got in trouble for were guys that ended up signing at like Alabama the Albert Means kid and a couple other kids signed a different SEC schools, but we got in trouble for the way we recruited them. So, I mean, the NCAA has been terrible forever.

00:40:40
Speaker 2: All right, appreciate.

00:40:42
