Our first game today is Woodford County and McCracken County and the consolation game. But Brandon Salitman was just up here giving us kind of a little low down on the final four tonight. Drew.

00:01:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like Boyd County. This is Jacobs Furlock's real deal.

00:01:20
Speaker 3: He's committed to Youngstown State. Averaging thirty six points a game.

00:01:24
Speaker 4: Yes, so I was just trying to pull up. Look like he had a huge game. Recently. I saw they were writing about him on a Youngstown State website as a potential starter as a true freshman. They're already getting excited about him with the Penguins. But he'll be one to watch, really lighting it up. And then we just heard from our friends here at Prep Spending there was a rain delay last night. How do you have a raindway? What William said?

00:01:45
Speaker 3: There was raining in the gym coming out of the air conditioning vent.

00:01:49
Speaker 4: We'll get that fixed before before the big games coming up today.

00:01:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys, the final for tonite six thirty and eight o'clock and then the championship to morow night at seven o'clock. I mean once, he's some good basketball coming out here. Check him out.

00:02:01
Speaker 4: Mentioned that we said earlier. But Davis County North Laurel has a little head to head could be a mister basketball showdown too.

00:02:06
Speaker 3: Yeah. I reached Davidships, reached Davidson for North Laurel, who's committed to Liberty can be a flame. And Jonathan Moss plays for Davis County, just decommitted from QUT Chattanooga, opening up his recruitment. But our little sources, Maryland's coming after him.

00:02:20
Speaker 4: Oh Maryland, who's your little source? Because that wasn't sat here in the gym. That's an outside source.

00:02:24
Speaker 3: I don't reveal my sources.

00:02:25
Speaker 4: To the Texas seven thirty four.

00:02:29
Speaker 3: Eighty thirty five thirty six eighty. There you go. Uh, I've saved this topic till we had some time to talk about it. But Matt did his first play by play ever of any sport on national radio on ESPN Radio. He is thrown into the Wolves to do the Western Kentucky Southern miss New Orleans Bowl game Tuesday night. It was after the Kentucky game, so I know a lot of fans will watch Kentucky listen to Kentucky and then flipped over to listen to Matt. Did you get a chance to hear any of his play by play Tuesday?

00:03:00
Speaker 4: It was my hectic day, but I did manage ins and outs here and there, hopping in the car. I caught bits and pieces. So I can't say I heard the full game broadcast, but I caught a little first half, caught a little early second half, and then I caught the very end, so I heard enough. I feel like he did really well. They seemed to just be having a lot of fun. I mean sometimes Myron when he was chiming in, really had nothing to do with the football game. But that's exactly what I expect, right, and what I wanted.

00:03:26
Speaker 3: You know, I hate to brag on him because you know, we're all like brothers. We like to pick on each other. He did a good job. You could not tell that was his first ever play by play. You could tell he's prepared and he did a good job. And actually I was kind of proud of him the way he handled the game.

00:03:40
Speaker 4: When I first listened, it was probably second quarter, I'd say I was I was getting I was getting some doofing smirch vibes. I think the excitement was getting to there some screaming. It was good, he was doing a good job, but it was a it was a version of Matt I don't hear very often. It threw me off a little bit. When I came back a second half, the the excitement had come down a little bit. It was still an exciting game, which helped. I mean then that was a fun uh fast paced. Both those teams play fast and added to it. But when I first heard him, it was my man was on fire.

00:04:10
Speaker 3: It was good that Duvin Schmirchs decided to join the broadcast team of Matt and Myron. Uh I heard it the worst when he had a was a break in the action and he asked Myron who has appeared in the Superdome the most outside of a pro team or a team, and Myron guessed the Pope. And Matt just went crazy, the Pope and they had the largest crowd. That's what it was. The Hoods be the most there the most, but who had the largest crowd at the Superdome and it was the Pope and Dufin Schmertzdufinn Schmurch was definitely loud and proud about that.

00:04:44
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I I've talked to you for about an hour and a half last night talking to NFL, but the broadcast did come up, so I have a little I have his version.

00:04:52
Speaker 3: Okay, let's hear it.

00:04:53
Speaker 4: I can tell you a few thinks. Now. I know he's gonna want to talk about this when he gets back, but he's on vacation. He's like this, this would be old news by the time it's true. He did tell me that he was. He was torn between staying off his phone for criticism or looking at it. You know, he didn't want to get in his own head if he was getting negativity online. But then so he wasn't looking at his phone. But he finally looked at it and he had zero texts and zero tweets, So he thought he was doing a bad job. But then his producer told him that like, the first eight minutes of the game weren't even on radio because Louisville Toledo went long. So he Admiron called you know much of the first quarter to no one and they didn't even know it was to know one.

00:05:33
Speaker 3: So he checked his phone and knows nothing.

00:05:35
Speaker 4: He freaked out, no one's talking. He didn't know. That's when the producer chimmed in, by the way, we're still not on the area yet. The other game ran long, so the the beginning of the game, he's calling it thinking everyone's out there listening, and he admired and didn't even know they were calling it to no one. But they have them do that because they want to have the you know, the fire mean, if something were crazy were to happen.

00:05:52
Speaker 3: It's true.

00:05:53
Speaker 4: You go to Sports Center, you know the radio call. You know they want him doing it like there is an audience. But he was surprised to learn that the first few and it's he and Myron were talking to a wall. But I guess that that helped him a little bit with nerves once he learned that.

00:06:05
Speaker 3: Well, when they first flipped over to the broadcast, the first drive, we hear Matt gets to call like a long touchdown run and I'm thinking myself, he nailed it. He did such a good job. He got excited, he called it the right way, did a good job, and then they called a touchdown back on penalty and you could hear it in his voice like, oh, I guess that didn't matter, did it.

00:06:25
Speaker 4: He did say, it's the most he's prepared for anything you can really remember. He's like, there's never been a play by play guy that has done more prep because he just wanted to make sure he knew everything. He said, because of the teams were so fast paced, it made it a little harder because you want a little down time to give your spotter and your stats got time to relay. You know, that was number eighty two so and so for seven yards. But because those teams play so fast, it's almost like they had to get to the next play without having a little buffer or to get all the info in. So that, he said, that added a challenge with the matchup. They had two teams that play so fast.

00:07:01
Speaker 3: And I really think he did a good job for his first time ever to do He did a good job. And then the local team Western Kentucky won the games, so it kind of worked out perfect for him. I feel like that helped.

00:07:11
Speaker 4: He mentioned. He you know, he gets to meet with the coaching staffs beforehand, right He said he was shocked at how much they tell play by play guys.

00:07:18
Speaker 3: They were telling him like, we're gonna run this sickest trick play at this time, like they were just giving him a heads up we're gonna run trick plays. We're gonna do this, we're gonna do that.

00:07:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was spoiling some of the secrets on the new episode of Cover zero. Go listen to that available now. I think if it's not available now, it we'll be later. But he said, from now on, when I'm watching these guys and the announcers call out to play before it happens, or know a trick played, it's not as cool anymore because the coaches literally say exactly what they're gonna do. And he said he was interesting. He met with one coach who kind of, you know, obviously revealed the game plan, and then he goes and meets with the other coach who's saying what they're gonna do. But it's Matt already had the answers in his head and he has to sit there and with a poker face. And I react because I guess Southern Myss wasn't preparing for quarterback change that Western made, but Matt knew that Western was ready to.

00:08:00
Speaker 3: Anything was gonna happen.

00:08:02
Speaker 4: So he's in a Southern miss meeting and they're not prepared for the backup. Matt's like, this is so wild. I know what both sides are doing, but I guess you know that's happens in all game basketball, football, the Playboy play people get a little bit of scoop.

00:08:13
Speaker 3: That's right. Western went with the quarterback Maverick. Yeah, they put in Maverick. What a great name for a quarterback.

00:08:19
Speaker 4: Maverick big transfer came from the same school as their offensive coordinator. He was the quarterback for most of the year and they brought him in. I know Weshing ended up winning by a couple of scores, but it was still a close game for most of it. So even though they got off topic a little bit here and there, as Matt Meyron can do the football helped him out a little bit by being exciting.

00:08:37
Speaker 3: I thought they did a great job. I was really hit my hat to both those guys. They did a good job.

00:08:40
Speaker 4: Could you you've done it?

00:08:42
Speaker 3: But I mean, could you at that I've not done at that level I've done If you.

00:08:45
Speaker 4: Could handle it, sure being broadcast?

00:08:47
Speaker 3: Sure why not? Now? I guarantee you he prepared, probably more than I would have. I would have had my big board, my team boards, ready to go. But he really didn't, you know, he like actually read all the game notes. I don't know if I can read that much.

00:09:00
Speaker 4: We believe that. There were a few times when I was listening where he'd be like number eighty two Brown with sixteen yard catch, nice out route. You know, he's from someone so high school, number three recruiting state or whatever, and I'm thinking, who is this Matt Yeah, who normally doesn't even bother to get the pronunciation right, is just reading me a full bio on the fly during the game. So he was very prepared.

00:09:19
Speaker 3: Of all the stuff we've been around him doing. That's the most nervous he's ever been. I think, the most anxious and nervous he's ever been. So I sent him some notes that hey man, you're doing a good job, You're killing it. Just keep it up, just kind of because I think he needed that little confidence, that reassurance said, hey man, we're doing okay.

00:09:34
Speaker 4: Maybe they'll get another one next year. I don't know if he wants a full time gig, but enjoyed it.

00:09:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, during both season, I think for sure. Now, while we're on the college football front, Michigan finally found their head coach, Kyle Winningham from Utah, So maybe the one of the most iconic college football programs in America hires a guy from Utah and one of the most iconic basketball programs, Kentucky hires a coach from BYU. Look at this, the Utah takeover, the Utah take What is going on with that?

00:10:06
Speaker 4: Are you implying that there's just a Utah takeover everywhere? There?

00:10:09
Speaker 3: May be, it's happening. The breeding is the breeding ground for top hot coaches in Utah.

00:10:15
Speaker 4: I don't know, but uh Waitntingham been there a long time. I think the second longest tenured coach in football been there like close to thirty years, of not more than twenty years, So uh, you know, Michigan didn't have a lot of options. Late in the game, I prayed more. I think that ended up being about as good as they could do, because even though it is Utah not exactly a power, he's done a lot of winning there, and he had just stepped away from Utah and then gets the job today already did a press conference at the ball game, rolled him right out. So it's surprising. How are there. I was secretly rooting for brom just to blow up Louisville and have to have to deal with that. I enjoyed Brom's name being in the middle, But I think given the circumstances with the mess Michigan has right now, that was a good hire.

00:10:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a day or two where it looked like bromp maybe one of their top candidates. Did you buy into that a little bit?

00:11:00
Speaker 4: I mean, he just didn't have much left where it's you know, this time of the season hires had been made. I was to watch him just to see how they would play if brom went, what that would mean for Vince Marrow? Would he go? Would Vince get kind of left out there? Does Louisville keep Vince? You know, I just wanted to see what the carousel would have been locally of brom And taking the Michigan job.

00:11:21
Speaker 3: Well, the Michigan is a mess right now, so whoever steps into that they had to just had to be a good hire, not just in the football, but the organization needed a good leader. This guy apparently that's the perfect fit then what they're looking for.

00:11:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a big news. And I don't know if you saw Lane Kiffin and his leather jacket showing up at LSU's bowl game, uh huh, leaven Early he did a little bit there. It's it's gonna be such a circus around him. It already is, but fans were taking videos of him getting in his car with two hours left still in the game. Now they're complaining about Lane. It's it's just gonna be a circus down there in Baton Rouge. Now I'm excited to watch from afar. Having no stake in that game.

00:11:56
Speaker 3: He could have handled things a lot better either, no doubt about it. Yeah, with Old Miss, you know, getting ready to play Georgia. Now his old team getting ready to play Georgia.

00:12:05
Speaker 4: He's talking about him the Bowl. I guess LSU played Houston in a Bowl game, but he was talking about how excited it was for Old Miss. And you know he still gets a bonus if Old Miss wins. Yeah, weird, weird, weird circumstances. Then he heads the Oxford next year. Uh, that's one I don't you know. I only get to follow Kentucky games. That's one I'd love to take off the UK game and just be a part of that atmosphere.

00:12:25
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin takes LSU into Old Miss. Also take the LSU into Kroger Field to play Kentucky next year.

00:12:32
Speaker 4: That's right. And old Misses, I mean, as they should be. They're so mad at him. That will be a if he thought Tennessee fans gave it to him bad when he had that reunion, the old miss would be fun next season.

00:12:41
Speaker 3: All right, we'll take our break, come back, phone lines roping. Got a couple of teams coming out now, getting some shots up, warming up a little bit. It's McCracken County in Woodford County in the first game today, Ryan Leandrew Franklin. We'll be right back. This s is Kentucky's Ports Radio. You know, big news for our listeners down in Florida.

00:13:57
Speaker 2: Uh.

00:13:58
Speaker 3: Mark Pope made a big announcement that they're gonna wear the denim uniforms on February seventh against Tennessee at Roperina, almost thirty years to the day they debuted the denhim uniforms back in nineteen ninety six. I love it, I love the good fact they're gonna wear them. I love the fact that it's against Tennessee. I love the fact that's actually on the thirty year anniversary of it.

00:14:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, very excited about this. Hopefully the team is in great shape and can get a win in them, because that is most important. Those are those are those jerseys. Even though they had still have mixed reviews and at the time had negative reviews, people forgot. Oh yes, there is a winning tradition in those jerseys. So if we're gonna break them out, we need to be serious. We need to be in a great spot. We're playing Tennessee in Reperina. We really need to defend Reperina throughout all of the sec to have a shot at winning the league. But that game especially, you cannot slip up big Saturday in February, bringing back the thirty year rendition of those gotta have a good team and gotta get a win.

00:14:54
Speaker 3: I know you had a Walter McCarty Denham jersey. Do you still have it?

00:14:57
Speaker 4: I do still have it. I mistakenly wore it to a bachelor party. In the infield of Talladego. There is a smell and a color that will not ever come off, but I still own it, even though it isn't a trash back. Shouldn't have worn it down there for that trip. But me and many others my age, you know, I'm forty. I'm writing that sweet spot where that ninety sixteen was everything to us. I've said this many times. I had if you could fit that Meadowlands statue liberty logo on something, I had it. The trash can in my room, the pillows in my room, the posters in my room, my T shirts, my shorts. I had the denim stuff back then. I now have two different pairs of the denim shorts, have the road denims and the home white denims. That year, that season that Jersey loved it, loved everything about it, and I cannot wait for it to come back.

00:15:46
Speaker 3: You're right, a lot of people didn't really like them back then, and they the slogan was it ain't the denim, it's what's in them. Because people didn't like it.

00:15:54
Speaker 4: I went back and I was reading some of the stories that were written back then. Just the other day, Patino had a great quote. Someone asked about the denim and he, you know, typical Patino. He said in the press conference, that's the worst question I've ever gotten in my twenty one years of coaching, and I thought that's such a rick answer to say that. It just shows his thoughts of the denim. At the time, they had no idea we'd be talking about him thirty years later. But the newspaper story I read was talking about how the call in show after the game, even though Kentucky won beat Arkansas, just people complaining about the denim. Billy Packer was comparing it to North Carolina colors almost universally hated in.

00:16:29
Speaker 3: The moment, but now we're so excited to coming back.

00:16:32
Speaker 4: Sastagia because they finished with a ring. I will add one. Mark Pope played his best game in the Dinam. The debut Dinham he had sixteen and eleven again Arkansas game, and then four days later, wearing the Denham again game two of the Dinam had another double double, his first back to back double doubles, eleven rebounds in both games. So maybe the fans the coach Billy Packer, some of the players didn't like him in the moment, but Pope saw an instant I found some instant success in them. Maybe they'll have that again this season.

00:17:06
Speaker 3: Rub it off that's why he liked it so much. He played so well on his players will do it too. So February seventh, tennessee Rupperina.

00:17:12
Speaker 4: You recovering the team then I was, I was like him, was it like? It feels like such a big thing now, But in the moment, was there a build up or did they just run out wearing them?

00:17:19
Speaker 5: Like?

00:17:19
Speaker 4: How do was it the actual do you remember like the actual launch?

00:17:23
Speaker 3: I don't remember the actual launch because I can't remember how much of a build up there. If there was any build up, it was only a day or two, not much. And then when they came out people there were probably more people disliked them than liked them, because it's not the standard blue and blue and white uniforms, you know.

00:17:36
Speaker 4: And nowadays you know, people wear different shoes all the time, alternate uniforms. But at the time that was do not touch art Kentucky blue all right.

00:17:45
Speaker 3: Eight five nine two o two two eighty seven? Who he got? Rick?

00:17:47
Speaker 4: God?

00:17:48
Speaker 3: Joe up first? Go ahead?

00:17:49
Speaker 5: Joe yeah, thank you, gentlemen. Uh. I think Drew, that special teams coordinator is a big horror. He's got a couple of years up at Ohio State. So I pretty much surmise that he can do it up there, maybe he can do it down here. I think it's it's just a really most important hire. Special teams are at Kentucky are good. We got a chance with the big victories next year, and quickly on Ree Shepherd Drew go back and look at some old taste of a guy named John Stockton. They just to play for the Qusaults Utah team. Tim and Carl Malone had one of the greatest one to two combinations ever in the NBA. And with that vic Center out there calls slagoon that Houston, I could see reed and that young man having one health of damn ten years and being the new Stockton and Malone in the NBA. Any comments on that appreciated?

00:18:46
Speaker 3: Joe, thank you. What do you think about that? I think Red could be the next John Stockton with the Sagoon guy out at Utah, Houston.

00:18:52
Speaker 4: First of all, I'm alone insulted they had to explain John Stockton to me. John stock is not that old, right, I mean, I feel like we know John Stockton is.

00:19:00
Speaker 3: You're still kind of a baby in all right, You're a young puppy.

00:19:03
Speaker 4: I own a John Stockton Jersey. He saw Jazz number twelve, Purple Jersey. Yes, very familiar with John Stockton, Gonzaga legend, NBA legend. We all know the Jazz Stockton Malone. So I've a little insulted there. Yeah, but me, that is a great comparison. I don't know if Sagoon and Shepherd could get to that level, but the way he's playing, he's got a little Stockton to him. It helps. Heavin Durant also next to him. That's been my favorite thing in Fried Shepherd. You know we were talking about we just played Travis Perry in this gym just a couple of years ago, and I am watching him chest bump Kevin Durant for a contender in the NBA. My brain, even though you know we've already been the Reid surprise happened when he was in Kentucky, that breakout, my brain still can't grasp the NBA starting point guard playing with Kevin Durant version of Fried Shepherd. It all happens so quickly.

00:19:52
Speaker 3: The Rockets play the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis on February second. I already had people text me, I've got tickets. I'm going. The question is do you wear Kentucky blue or do you wear Houston Rockets red? You gotta wear blue, you gotta wear standing down.

00:20:08
Speaker 4: You'll get noticed made, you'll get a little nod, maybe a little point from Reid. Yes, do Kentucky shirt. Rocket shorts read with his own movie go.

00:20:16
Speaker 3: But you're right, man, he's playing great. I mean, he's just playing lights out right now.

00:20:19
Speaker 4: He started the year that they're on national TV, maybe even the first game of the entire season, and he could not play defense, and he became a joke on NBA Twitter. And once you become a joke on NBA Twitter, it's hard to get out of that. Brandon Knight is still a joke on NBA Twitter once they get their claws on you.

00:20:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no break in that.

00:20:37
Speaker 4: But since that, you know, opening week of the season, where he looked a little rough, he has been getting better and better and has become a real star for the Rockets and hopefully they're a team that could be playing for some bigger at the end of the year. And we're watching him in in uh in the playoffs, just seeing him on Christmas Day, as I said, I can't grasp We called the region thirteen that was three years ago, and now he's playing Christmas Day NBA in Age.

00:20:59
Speaker 3: Town on Jerseys lob loads to Kevin Durant.

00:21:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, and now he's only going to keep getting better and better. And as the caller said, I don't know if we'll get to a John Stockton level, but they do have something brewing there with that one two eight.

00:21:11
Speaker 3: Five nine to two two eighty seven. Who's next? Rick? Dennis is up next, Dennis? Go ahead, Dennis.

00:21:19
Speaker 6: It looks like the buzzs is that Cutter Bowie's going to hasten by the competition in the spring.

00:21:28
Speaker 3: Well, I mean there's nothing has been official yet. Does to bring in a transfer portal that something has happened during the our shows started, Drew, But right now, Cutters the guy, they've already said Cutters the guy, and he's convinced him into stains. But surely there will be another quarterback come in.

00:21:42
Speaker 6: Where there's for there's there's there's buzz on Twitter that that Novas said is going to end at the portal. And right now Kentucky is odd his odd favorite to Delantham.

00:21:59
Speaker 3: Appreciate the phone call, Yeah, I mean he hasn't into the portal yet probably won't till they get beat.

00:22:05
Speaker 4: I would think, yeah, to talk about the backup behind Dante more At Oregon's expected into the portal. Portal season starts Friday, starts this Friday, so we'll really start getting news. You know, I can assume Kentucky's gonna be in the mix, but also because of the will Stein connection, But that's gonna be a guy that's gonna get a lot of offers. You have Bawlie in Kentucky's budget ain't huge and they have a lot to go get. They need five starting offensive.

00:22:30
Speaker 3: Line lost every offensive lineman.

00:22:32
Speaker 4: Maybe Novus had ends up coming here. I have no idea he is entering the portal, But Kentucky's got a lot of portaling to do coming up on Friday. With only so much in the grocery budget.

00:22:41
Speaker 3: Your priority has got to be offensive line and backup quarterback is in the mix.

00:22:45
Speaker 4: After that, I think, yeah, you have cutter. You might not might not be a year to go out and spend three or four million on a quarterback. You have so many needs cornerback, receivers running. I mean they need not everything, but close to everything. Specifically, that offensive line has to be completely rebuilt. To have any kind of year.

00:23:02
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be shocked if the nor of a sad guy ended up here. But nothing's official yet. Like I said, they ain't entered the portal yet. But maybe he would be a guy especial if he's got a good relationship with will Stein.

00:23:11
Speaker 4: That is a name to watch, just with the organ connection.

00:24:27
Speaker 4: Well, I wouldn't call it scooping. I was just watching here. Woodford's warming up. They're shooting way too many thirty foot threes. I don't know they're gonna be doing that in the game, and I don't think they made any so just watching the little shoot around here felt like they were just chucking up shots, maybe not going over things they should be going.

00:24:44
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

00:24:45
Speaker 4: Now, I could be wrong. They could come out here and just be hitting NBA threes the whole game, but it looks like that's all they were doing.

00:24:49
Speaker 3: And we did get some scoop on this Spurlock kid too, from Boyd County to coming in to play the Lexton Catholic tonight.

00:24:55
Speaker 4: He'll pull up from the logo?

00:24:56
Speaker 3: Is that this from the logo across the cross, the standing line, the Danny Haney logo, court logo, boom and shooting it up.

00:25:04
Speaker 4: I did hear Brandon Tell's team. However, quick you think they're gonna shoot, They're gonna shot quicker so soon as it goes the other way, get ready for a shot to go.

00:25:12
Speaker 3: And he's already committed to Youngstown State. I got a little I got a little nugget on Youngstown State. Tell us they're coached by Ethan Faulkner. You may think, well, who's Ethan Faulkner. Basketball fansernd can take you me. I remember the Faulkner twins from Elliott County that went all the way to the state semifinals before losing to Covington Holmes in two thousand and nine. So Ethan Faulkner is the head coach and his twin brother, Evan Faulkner is the assistant coach. I remember that Elliott County team. Man, they were good. They were fun to watch too. Those two twins were like little water bugs out there, like you know, all over the place.

00:25:44
Speaker 4: It's a fun connection. Do you know we also have a Youngstown connection from Kentucky? What's that We went to a Youngstone Yes, we did, Ohio featuring freshman Gabe Dines. Yes, who is from Kentucky. You played two years there and is now at USC a USC fell He got a few minutes in that game. He young kind of got the baby deer thing going on because he's like seven foot something. But he was a Youngstown for a couple of years until leaving the season.

00:26:09
Speaker 3: Didn't Reese Potter also playing that game?

00:26:12
Speaker 4: Was he in that game?

00:26:14
Speaker 3: I thought that's where we were going. I thought we saw Reeese Potter transferred here.

00:26:18
Speaker 4: No, I don't think ree Potter was in that game. We can say was well if you want sometimes at Ohio.

00:26:24
Speaker 3: All right, we talked to a little basketball transfer portal stuff, a little football transfer portal stuff, but our UK volleyball teams kind of got a little roster shake up from the transfer portal.

00:26:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're we're excited, Craig Skinners bringing back just about everyone.

00:26:39
Speaker 3: Uh West Eva Hudson. Right, that was it.

00:26:41
Speaker 4: Now, that's pretty big loss. We can't just shrug that off as nothing. But otherwise I think eight of the top nine rotation players are back and then they they did have one. I don't know if it's a huge loss because it's a depth piece, but we did lose some one to.

00:26:56
Speaker 3: Louisville, Yes, three Brook Baltimore, Baltimore.

00:26:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, out here for three years.

00:27:02
Speaker 3: You don't. You hate to lose anybody, but you really hate to lose them to your arch rival who's really good right down the road.

00:27:08
Speaker 4: And she was an All SEC freshman played well last year. I think my understanding is playing tom went down quite a bit this year. I even read that she played in like half the set she played in as a freshman. So you know, I'm not won't pretend to be the expert on the volleyball roster, but it seems that just she was expecting more out of this year for herself, didn't play quite as much. And then she puts out a statement in Thinking Kentucky, how she hates to have to do it. But you go into the rival spent everything brewing here, we're gonna win the national championship next year.

00:27:39
Speaker 3: Like her and Vince Merrill kind of you know, forgetting about us and going.

00:27:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, they can go hang on, they put their l's up. We did add Morgan Gardy though from Notre Dame. Yes, she was an All American Honorable mention six' five outside. HITTER i won't say that she can Replace, hudson because nobody can Replace, hudson but that seems to Be skinner's answer to Losing hudson. Outside she'll she'll slide in and with all the returners coming, back we'll do this run again and hopefully have one more win on the back end of.

00:28:06
Speaker 3: It, yeah if he can retain everybody, else you, know losing The brook hurts, obviously but if you retain everybody, else you gotta feel really good about making another run it back next year type of.

00:28:15
Speaker 4: Season, Yeah and as far AS i know it seems like he expects to have everyone. BACK i, mean you, know we Got, Brooklyn, delay, O'Brien Mally. TIME i, mean we can name them. All we just watched him. Play you should have everyone. Back but But hudson as she heads TO uh to the pro. LEAGUE i saw she signed With, atlanta so good for her In league one, Volleyball, well it gets to stay in THE us and that starts coming up next. Month but, Uh hudson signed a pro contract to keep. Playing good good for, her but there's a volleyball. Roster. SHAKEOUVERS i don't like Losing baltimore To, louisville but you Add. Guardian we'll run it back next year and hopefully make another long run with one extra win on the.

00:28:51
Speaker 3: Back, yeah don't necessarily like us trading stuff With louisville like we gave. Them we didn't give. Him But vince left to go there and we bring Back Pete nachta came back over. Here and then another, Guy CHRIS i can't remember his, name he went to Join vince over At liutlvicke Where, YEAH i kind of bounce him back and. Forth. Here Will stein's bringing a lot of guys on his staff that used to coach, there played there or. Whatever it's kind of it's getting, weird getting a.

00:29:12
Speaker 4: Little chilsea's doing the friendly license plate. Thing you, know some of us still have true hatred in our heart For louisville and we'll never let that.

00:29:19
Speaker 3: GO i.

00:29:19
Speaker 4: Don't i'm not playing. Nice i'm not transferring To. Louisville Louisville Sports radio in coming up on down the. Road some People vince, included have tweets to delete and some pictures to delete OF ss. Down but you know she's now adding to the list heading over that.

Release still that's a that's a pricey.

00:30:42

Speaker 4: Cheap you really treated yoga go.

00:30:44
Speaker 3: Huh, well you, KNOW i felt like she had a good. Year she needs you, know she had a five star, season so she needs to be rewarded for it in the nil budget at the end of the.

00:30:53
Speaker 4: Year, well what did you think of? It you, know it is very, long it's like three, hours almost three.

00:30:58
Speaker 3: Hours get that.

00:30:59
Speaker 4: Intermission, WELL i, went it's been four or five. Years BUT i remember about halfway THROUGH i wasn't even really sure what was going.

In now That i've seen it five hundred times on The Disney plus, Version i'm all. Good but were you were you able to Your broadway? Guy could you keep up with the storyline a little?

00:31:19
Speaker 3: Bit you, know my dad's a history, guy and we kind of talked a little bit about. It he kind of gave me some things that are getting ready to happen and come up with. It BUT i spent a lot of the time yesterday googling the stories so i'd really understand the story behind the. Story like they kind of implied During hamilton that maybe he was having an affair with his wife's.

00:31:35
Speaker 4: Sister it's very historically. Accurate The skylar.

00:31:38
Speaker 3: Sisters The skylar. Sisters, yes, yes because he did have the affair with the one woman that got they blackmailed. Him but that's why he never ran for. President they never were kind of unsure about. That did that kind of keep me from running for? President?

00:31:51
Speaker 4: YEAH i mean this is all that sounds exactly how it all happened in real. Life and so you learned most of Your Alexander hamilton history from just this performance and.

00:31:59

Teams you, know McCracken is just outside the top ten of the THE Ksr High school, rankings which will be updated later. Today i'm going off Last monday's. RANKINGS i believe there are number, Eleven so they are they are a team to watch, for not in the rankings to my.

00:34:02
Speaker 3: Knowledge, Yeah i'm gonna have to change my, pick maybe to McCracken. County Woodford county looks like maybe they're have a half their squad, Here maybe they got an illness kind of knocked out half their. Players they've only got one two three point five six seventy nine. Players is that it's all we got.

00:34:17
Speaker 4: Here, Yeah I'm i'm sticking with my McCracken. PICK i don't know if we picked that. Before, also just like McCracken, county it is uh the only county in the state that has Two Taco. John's and you, KNOW i feel like everywhere Eats Taco john's And paduca probably has, two which is a very cool thing to. Happen I'm.

00:35:31
Speaker 4: Either billy's hanging Around, Lexington mario hanging Around.

00:35:34
Speaker 3: Lexington probably both those guys probably stay. Cation we mentioned the earthquake that happened In Garrett. County it's our buddy from our, Buddy Dylan. BALLARD i lived less than three miles from the fault, line and it sounded like a plane had hit my house. Yesterday. Wow so maybe it was a little more violent down there than we.

00:35:51
Speaker 4: Thought, yeah other than just the news reports that people felt it and heard it in the surrounding, AREA i hadn't actually heard of a personal story like. That of course we.

00:36:00
Speaker 3: Trust dylan, SAID i live on a, farm and then thought the metal roof for my barn had flown, off and it was and it was my. House thought the barn roof flew off In hitt's, House but it was his house making that. Noise so that's. Crazy. Men they gotta worry about structural damage and foundation issues and.

00:36:15
Speaker 4: Things, yeah AND i haven't seen of anything too, significant but hopefully everybody's all right in that area where that. Happened and as we said, earlier just had another weather event To. Kentucky as we, whatever whatever the science and that, is it's the tornado alley or, whatever has moved our. Way and now we're getting earthquakes.

00:36:29
Speaker 3: Too, oh there's no doubt it has definitely shifted Into kentucky going, right especially Western. Kentucky it seems like with what happened over there In mayfield And bremen and all those areas got hit by the. Tornado now we're dealing with this cold.

00:36:39
Speaker 4: WEATHER i can't wait to step back out here into twenty degrees AFTER i had my window open all.

00:36:43
Speaker 3: Night so you, Know matt likes The Chicago. Bears they've played two of the most exciting games all season back to. Back That packers game last weekend was just. INSANE i still don't know how The bears won that. Game and then last NIGHT i couldn't quit watching their game last. Night it was back and forth to the. Final sex had a chance to win it at the end and couldn't get it.

00:37:02
Speaker 4: DONE i saw it was the FIRST nfl game to go seven to, seven, fourteen, fourteen, eight thirty, five thirty. Five they just kept trading. Blows it was the first time happened. Before. Yeah, ever yeah that was you should just go in that order like, that just keep trading touchdowns all the way through thirty. Five you, know The bears, Lost but If i'm A bears, Fan i'm still just over the moon excited about the. PLAYOFFS i, mean you went To San, francisco which could still be the one. Seed you played them to the very, end had a shot to tie it there and they just have that incompletion that ended the. Game But Matt's bears are are.

00:37:35
Speaker 3: Fun they're.

00:37:36
Speaker 4: Young Ben johnson's got that offense rolland know if you watch there at the, end they ran that a little hooking.

00:37:41
Speaker 3: Ladder they don't it.

00:37:42
Speaker 4: Didn't, yeah but who dross that?

00:37:44
Speaker 3: Up so that's in that.

00:37:45
Speaker 4: Situation, yeah even though they took the loss in prime time last. NIGHT I i've enjoyed watching the. Run i'm happy For. Matt it's been so long since they've had any. Success hopefully they can stream together playoff. RUN i, MEAN i like The rams in THE, nfc BUT i still don't don't sleep on The. Bears they could win a couple of. Games.

00:38:03
Speaker 3: Now we watched some. Football my parents were at my house on her the. Holiday we watched The chiefs Game Chiefs. Broncos my dad was ready to fight somebody because they kept Showing Travis kelcey like every other.

00:38:15
Speaker 4: Play what a Sad Christmas. Day THE nfl was so. Excited they're trying to take the NBA's. Day they have to give three what they thought were marquee matchups on the, schedule and then the starting quarterback for all three home teams is a third stringer that no one's ever, heard ever heard, of the. GUY i, mean you got The chiefs fizzling, out not even making the, playoffs they're Leaving, missouri and then it's Probably kelsey's last home.

00:38:40
Speaker 3: Game, YEAH i thought That's, oh trust. Me they mentioned it a billion times during the.

00:38:45
Speaker 4: BROADCAST i was tuned in, Also but pretty big dud for THE nfl on what should have been a special, day just with all the. CIRCUMSTANCES i, know a lot of people. FOCUSED i don't know if you, saw But kelsey did like a double tap on the wall and the way, out almost like a like a GOOD i tap to The do you know What i'm talking? About where's?

00:39:01
Speaker 3: All? Oh, yeah, yeah everybody.

00:39:03
Speaker 4: Focusing in on. That it seems like The chiefs, dynasty at least as we knew, it is. Over they're moving To, kansas And kelsey's probably gonna hang him.

00:39:10
Speaker 3: Out and you, Know mahomes, missed he's had the serious knee. Injury he's missed the last part of the. Season they're not in the playoffs for the first. Time and since you were a, baby it seems.

00:39:19
Speaker 4: Like times have changed With. Mahomes they'll still have some life after. This they have some young, talent but it is weird seeing that dynasty as we know it ended and then not even be in the playoffs at.

00:39:28
Speaker 3: All, now at the end of the, Game kelsey was walking off the field going in the tunnel to go to the locker room and some security guys got kind of nasty with the camera. Guy this was on LIVE. Tv you, know the live cameras are following him into the locker room and the one guy kind of yells at. Him AND i know that created a lot of. Pushback but rules are, rules, man and there's a certain areas of media cannot. Go and that's one of the areas where they're not allowed to. Go, yeah that.

00:39:52
Speaker 4: Guy i've tried to Pull mario. Sometimes mario just thinks my movie PAST i can go. Anywhere i'll, go take a jump shot and up IF i. WANT i had a Little mario to. Him it just it adds to the frustrating and sad end Of kelsey and The. Chiefs it does in. Hindsight you, know he wishes they just won The Super bowl last. Year he probably would have walked, away walked Away taylor at the game and then Getting taylor final year is gonna be not even coming close to the. Playoffs you got a third stringer name Like Michael Oliver candy throwing it to. Him just completely different than the storybook ending he dreamed up a year. Ago, Well i'm not a hater like there's a lot Of chiefs hater sounds like your dad's one of.

00:40:26
Speaker 3: Them, uh if they just Shown kelsey one more, time my dad's ready to jump through the screen and fight.

00:40:29
Speaker 4: SOMEBODY i know several people like, that but to, Me i'm not a. Fan i'm not a hater. Either it is a little sad to just see the. Change not, sad but it's just weird seeing the change in the. Guard we thought this would be another Year chiefs at least having one more running, them and they've been.

00:40:42
