It seems like most fans are not a big fan of Jimmy Dyes in the least favor.

00:01:38
Speaker 3: We get a lot of his games.

00:01:40
Speaker 5: Yes, I have mixed emotions about you like I like Jimmy a lot as a person. I think he's a pretty good announcer. He clearly know.

00:01:47
Speaker 3: He always knows the UK team well.

00:01:50
Speaker 5: But he's also somebody who is still in that mode of coaches who like the coach is always right, no matter who the coach is.

00:01:57
Speaker 3: I take up for the coach.

00:01:58
Speaker 5: Did it with cal it with Pope, and it includes a little bit of the sort of yelling at fans going you know, he's very much like why y'all so upset.

00:02:08
Speaker 6: And we've had him consistently for so long, Like you hear drive the nail over and over and.

00:02:13
Speaker 3: Over do the jet. But yeah, I was saying, like the jet.

00:02:18
Speaker 6: You get the exhaustion of hearing the same guy. Even last year it was worse. I even wrote a post about at midyear. But we had Carl Ravach and Jimmy Dike's so many games last year and the record was terrible. So I think you just get a little bit of exhaustion here in same voice over and over.

00:02:31
Speaker 1: I think he's good though. He brings you know, he points out things that I think are good for us of the d A, the intricacies of the game. He brings out, points out stuff that helped me understand why something happens.

00:02:43
Speaker 3: He does he does.

00:02:44
Speaker 5: I like the tournament because I just feel like the announcers make it sound bigger Kevin harrowin Yeah, Iron Eagle, It just feels like.

00:02:52
Speaker 3: A lot more. I don't know what how exactly to say it. CBS just always feels like they do it. We forget that those games are on.

00:03:02
Speaker 5: But like I turned on yesterday and like that Purdue, ohiose take out you can feel the energy, you know, and I sometimes I don't know. The ESPN does it the the best? All right, So get the phones here, and just second, let's talk about my man, John cal Perry and Todd Golden giving each other the old onesie tuosie.

00:03:23
Speaker 3: Florida just destroyed Arkansas.

00:03:25
Speaker 1: They're up by thirty and or still ten minutes.

00:03:27
Speaker 5: I still don't even know what they were fighting about. But at some point they get in an argument, and I'm still not one hundred percent sure what happened. It looked like Todd Golden maybe said something to Cal, but I'm not sure what it would have been about, do you.

00:03:43
Speaker 6: Know, because it's on col and he you see him snap kind of like whatever, it's you talking to me or don't tell me?

00:03:50
Speaker 3: Or what? Well you talking to me? Yeah? That who you like?

00:03:55
Speaker 5: You can see he's like what And then Cal has probably done the best job of any coaching history at having multiple guys to hold him back. Yeah, he's got a lot of hold me back guy without fight, And it's good to have hold me back guys.

00:04:11
Speaker 3: That way you never have to fight and you look really tough.

00:04:14
Speaker 5: It's like if Kenny Payne wasn't here, you'd be seeing these guns.

00:04:20
Speaker 7: You think Cal could actually fight?

00:04:22
Speaker 5: No, but Cal, here's Cal. That's Col's like me. Can't fight, will talk.

00:04:28
Speaker 1: Yes, talk and then go hide behind Kenny Payne.

00:04:31
Speaker 5: Well, no, Kenny pains enough of a good loyal assistant. He Cal doesn't even have to hide. Kenny knows Cal needs me in front so he can yell. Kenny Payne is is Col's parent. Yeah, and Paren's great parent knows Yep. Matt's gonna talk trash. I'll get in front of him.

00:04:52
Speaker 7: Todd Goldon had a corner guy too, though.

00:04:53
Speaker 3: Now here's a problem. Todd Colten's guy, though, is not.

00:04:56
Speaker 5: He doesn't understand the game as much Todd. Go see again. Cal and I have something in common. We look like in who knows, because we're bigger guys.

00:05:09
Speaker 3: Todd Golding's a will Skimi fella. He's got a little baby arms.

00:05:14
Speaker 5: And so he talks trash and no one's scared of him. I think sixty seven year old Cal thought he could beat Todd Golden up, don't.

00:05:22
Speaker 1: You knows a little nerdy Yeah, I think he probably could have.

00:05:25
Speaker 3: I think he probably could. So if you're gonna.

00:05:28
Speaker 5: Talk trash like Todd Golden, you've got to have dudes who will hold you back.

00:05:34
Speaker 8: And nobody was rushing the holding Max, but there was nobody rushing to holding back. So Todd is kind of left naked in the wind yelling, and as Cal turns around and goes, you want a piece of me?

00:05:48
Speaker 3: If you'll notice in the video, Todd Golden pulls yes one of his assistants in front.

00:05:55
Speaker 7: Of me, the classic kill move, and.

00:05:57
Speaker 3: Oh he did. He was like Bobby Heenan throwing a guy in front of it.

00:06:01
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, you're supposed to be hold me, let me get behind you and you.

00:06:06
Speaker 5: He literally grabs his shirt shit, and it pulls him to him.

00:06:11
Speaker 1: The camera's caught it.

00:06:12
Speaker 5: So here's the thing col over the years, in part because he's continued to hire these dudes even when they're not good, he gets loyalty. He's got these guys. They know what they're supposed to do. And Todd Golden's like, wait a minute, you're supposed to be up here to get his front. Yeah, Todd, Todd had nobody in his front, and when you're that little, you're gonna need somebody in your front.

00:06:38
Speaker 3: But I really liked it, Drew I enjoyed the whole the whole mess up.

00:06:42
Speaker 6: See, I saw it as cow having a little pent up, like Todd Golden was me once upon a time. He's got oh you think, so he's got the ring on his finger. He's won the regular season and the SEC Tournament in the last couple of years. He's the hot name.

00:06:56
Speaker 5: So you think this cow keep back in time and this was me thirty years ago.

00:07:00
Speaker 6: And it's like, I have to show younger me that older me still has that fire.

00:07:04
Speaker 3: So you that's interesting. I saw a big picture thoughts because whatever Golden.

00:07:07
Speaker 6: Yelled, it shouldn't triggered him that much. Yeah, So you're just like he was looking at his past. It's like that movie we were talking about Crazy Heart. Jeff Bridges saw Colin Farrell. I was him and now he's more successful than I am. But I have to let him know I'm still him, but I'm still the king. Yes, and I have these guys that will hold me back.

00:07:26
Speaker 5: I'm the king and I'm losing by forty and you know, see that's what I'm saying.

00:07:30
Speaker 3: It's built up a little bit.

00:07:32
Speaker 1: Through Todd Golden's and Bruce Pearl protege. Probably the pearl influence over him probably encourages him to be a little more anti Cow.

00:07:40
Speaker 5: I liked, and it seemed like our fan base sided with cal I think so.

00:07:46
Speaker 6: I think there's also maybe in my in my scenario, they're looking at Golden getting a little cocky, a little big first breeches at age forty, even though he has six success and maybe a little sympathy for the older States, the older gentleman.

00:07:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, in those ugly coats.

00:08:00
Speaker 1: Why I don't know.

00:08:02
Speaker 5: Why does he wear those coats? And he used to be mister fashion. How did he get to Arkansas and start wearing.

00:08:10
Speaker 1: Like pizza both wearing those coats?

00:08:13
Speaker 5: I mean you're wearing like barber shop poles. They're like, why does he wear that?

00:08:19
Speaker 4: Yes?

00:08:19
Speaker 3: I mean Cow, you were so. I mean there's got to be some suits.

00:08:24
Speaker 5: With red in it that can look better than they get uglier every game.

00:08:29
Speaker 3: It is a hard color to pull off. Pull off.

00:08:33
Speaker 6: Does require you to wear no, I guess if you're just trying to show it.

00:08:37
Speaker 5: I mean, he didn't always wear Kentucky blue when he was here, No, I guess they usually wore black suits and a blue tie. Can he not wear black suits and a red tie.

00:08:46
Speaker 9: I don't know, those are awful. It's all that Tyson money he has wants. Nothing makes my mom madder than those jackets. Really, probably every time.

00:08:59
Speaker 5: Shannon there in the nationally televised the game, Mom texts me and goes calling his stupid jacket.

00:09:05
Speaker 4: What if it's a situation where like Ellen went out and like got all these jackets for him, and now he feels obligated to wear them because she like, when somebody buys you something, you thought.

00:09:14
Speaker 5: Question, Well, see I'm not married. I usually when people buy me things and I don't wear them. I'm just like I wear them when I don't see you, I think, but you can't do that when you're married to somebody.

00:09:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, it seems only has three of them too. There's like a rotation of the small picnic table, pizza hut wind the one he had in the Golden I.

00:09:34
Speaker 5: Think Ellen thinks they look bad too. No woman is looking at those jackets going well.

00:09:40
Speaker 7: I think she would tell them though if she thought they looked bad.

00:09:42
Speaker 5: But he's the kind of guy would be like, oh you don't understand, Well, no, he would, that's what he would.

00:09:49
Speaker 7: She's the one he should be trying to look good for if anybody.

00:09:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, those are those are awful.

00:09:55
Speaker 1: Please let them meet in the SEC tournament in Nashville. Play one more time.

00:09:59
Speaker 6: No what Golden and Cow although you're saying Kentucky, No, I don't want to play, I'd I'd rather avoid them both just for.

00:10:11
Speaker 3: Gold Coal. Yes, one person rights, Matt.

00:10:14
Speaker 5: I saw you at the youth basketball game yesterday. I was very surprised to see you, but glad you supported your friends kids. Did it make you want to have kids? No, but I do think I can see why people like like I was pulling for for for Max right, Like I can see how people like their kids playing sports. Yeah, and so I yeah, I could see it, But it didn't make me just, you know, have my biological clock decided.

00:10:47
Speaker 1: Even when you saw the dude that looked like you out there, like that could be one of that could be my kid out there playing, I'm gonna support him every every Sunday.

00:10:54
Speaker 7: It actually was.

00:11:00
Speaker 5: You know, I did think about, like, you know, because the parents are all very into it, They're very encouraging.

00:11:05
Speaker 3: One of the highlights of my eyes calling a lot more walks.

00:11:08
Speaker 1: Oh you were let him go.

00:11:10
Speaker 3: I was like, he show up. It's not a jump stop.

00:11:14
Speaker 7: Ref would be the parent like Ryan getting kicked out of the game.

00:11:17
Speaker 5: No, I wouldn't get I was kind of laughing and I was cheering on everyone. I'm seeing like these some of these kids have good shoes, you know, checking out their sneakers.

00:11:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, the new Tatum is got nice you know. Let's go to Jeff. Go ahead, Jeff, I got.

00:11:34
Speaker 10: A quick question quit statement statement. First, I think success, especially probably around the last ten games, has been because we shortened a rotation. What are your thoughts on that?

00:11:44
Speaker 5: Totally agree with you, Totally agree, And I think Pope did a masterful job with the rotation this week. He you know, he's really wanted to play ten to thirteen minutes a game for those guys and just they've been a disaster. But he found it to work well to where they kind of held serve while they were in So I thought he did a great job with it this week.

00:12:04
Speaker 10: The guy to settled in the row was a lot better, it seems like.

00:12:06
Speaker 3: Also, yeah, I agree.

00:12:09
Speaker 10: My question was recruiting wise goes, how would you delegate your money if it was coach Matt Jones? Would you one stud high school great question player delegate the money.

00:12:23
Speaker 3: All right, so I appreciate the call.

00:12:24
Speaker 5: So what I thought about this during my drive back from Madisonville Friday, because I was looking at all, right, who are the not just who's good this year, but what programs seem to be set up the best? And it looks like, for the most part, Duke, as much as it pains me, is set up to be good like every year. And what they're doing essentially is they're basically keeping it within and maybe bringing him one or two transfers. They're getting a high school class with like six guys, one or two are studs. But what Shyer's doing is he's bringing in a lot of thirtieth sixtieth, fortieth and those guys are staying multiple years. And that's that's what he's doing. And I think that's working. But I don't think that's the only way you have to do it. I think you can bring in one portal star one like Okay, so Yukon brought in some high school stars, but then got a bunch of transfers too, and it's worked with only one guy that stayed all four years, that Alex Caravan. Michigan's pretty much all transfers, so Drew, there's a lot of different ways to do it. I think Pope has to figure out what's the way to do it that works for him.

00:13:41
Speaker 3: But I can't. I haven't seen a.

00:13:43
Speaker 5: Consistent philosophy yet, you know, And so I don't know what his philosophy is.

00:13:48
Speaker 6: I don't either, But I or me that I'm probably top eight, maybe a ninth yor getting my money in the rest. I just don't want to have too many pieces like we do this year that are have expectations of playing. I think cal even said something similar to this recently. And then you got it. Even if you have to overpay, you have to get a stud, whether it's the number one player in high school or one of the portal guys that you just know are sure things. If you get to the table and another school's overpaint a little bit, and maybe you don't want to put that up, you still have to for just an alpha to be on your team.

00:14:19
Speaker 5: I'm getting one stud guard, one stud big, and one stud high school guy and then filling in around him. Yeah that's what that that that to me is the perfect thing. And then every year getting two or three secondary high school guys that you bring up through your system.

00:14:39
Speaker 1: I think that's where Pope kind of messed up this year. He brought in Aberdeen, Diabate and Cam Williams. All were six men coming in.

00:14:45
Speaker 3: He didn't he didn't get a star.

00:14:47
Speaker 1: Didn't get it, Doude.

00:14:47
Speaker 3: Now, he probably would tell you he thought jaylen Low would be that but got hurt. Yeah, et cetera. But yeah, they you got to get a star. Ian.

00:14:57
Speaker 5: I think now that we have no top high score recruits, when the portal rankings come out, we better get two of the top ten and three of the top twenty five if we're gonna be good next year.

00:15:10
Speaker 3: Do you agree with that?

00:15:11
Speaker 1: I do agree with that. Do you think Patino's new philosophy where he's not even said he's gonna even gonna recruit high school kids?

00:15:16
Speaker 5: I think that works for a guy who's seventy plus years old and doesn't have very long I don't think it's the best strategy for a long term bill. But Rick's probably thinking this is a one year contract every year.

00:15:25
Speaker 6: Yeah, And he said that a year or two ago when we still had some twenty five year old and twenty six years that's going.

00:15:31
Speaker 5: Now it's gonna slowly go away too. All right, we'll take a break A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

00:15:36
Speaker 3: Ky I sorry, work a matter.

00:15:39
Speaker 5: Mac Tekey Sports Radio eight five' nine two eighth twenty two eighty.

00:15:44

Speaker 3: Dudes huh.

00:16:02
Speaker 5: Yeah and plus he's WAYS i bet he weighs. NOW i mean he's gotten kind of big. AGAIN i bet it's weird because his weight fluctuates a lot.

00:24:25
Speaker 5: Org one of the comments on the text machine, says one of the dynamics of the SHOW i think is interesting Is ryan seems to slyly take up For pope at all, times no matter what, Happens ryan finds a way to say something nice About. Pope counter to, That drew seems to always make snod comments About.

00:24:44
Speaker 3: Pope does he not like? Him what's his?

00:24:46
Speaker 5: Deal do you think both of these guys are on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes To.

00:24:52
Speaker 3: Pope, well i'll let you two answer. THAT i make fun of.

00:24:58
Speaker 6: Everything so if you when you punch a like that and we're talking about, Fighting i'm gonna bring it up you.

00:25:03
Speaker 3: Do BUT i do think you.

00:25:07
Speaker 5: Are more.

00:25:10
Speaker 3: With.

00:25:11
Speaker 5: Pope like if there's a spectrum of where we are on, coaches you are very rarely the most, negative although you you AND i were kind of on the same page on Col you're very rarely the most, negative BUT i think you are With. Pope ryan's almost always the most. Positive not, always but most of the. Time but it does feel like With pope you've you're more on the negative side Then i've seen you with other.

00:25:39
Speaker 3: Coaches that's, True, yeah because they're nineteen and.

00:25:42
Speaker 6: TEN i, Mean saturday was, fun but let's not act like this has been a great experience this. SEASON i, MEAN i Love, saturday but they've still lost ten, games SO i still Have.

00:25:50
Speaker 3: But do you think you have gotten negative quicker with him than you have other? Coaches?

00:25:55
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah because we haven't had the. HIGES i MEAN i still have several. DOUBTS i, Mean i'm not in the Anti pope, campaign don't put me in that, group BUT i mean through a year and almost two years of basketball, there, YEAH i have a lot OF.

00:26:08
Speaker 5: I, mean we do have what was The Stephen peak. Thing we've beaten twelve top twenty five. Teams we had only beaten thirteen in the five previous.

00:26:16
Speaker 6: ANTI i GUESS i know there's several, highs But i'm not gonna act like it's perfect.

00:26:19
Speaker 5: Either, yeah, well BUT i don't Think ryan acts like it's PART i do THINK i think that the text is.

00:26:26
Speaker 3: RIGHT i do think you are more negative About.

00:26:27
Speaker 6: POPE i agree than you have another peak because that WE i haven't had a moment football.

00:26:31
Speaker 5: COACHES i, mean like, you you you are more.

00:26:34
Speaker 3: Negative well With i've only Had, Stoops and that's my. POINT i have the highs Of.

00:26:39
Speaker 6: STOOPS i have not had highs With Mark pope except those regular season, wins Which i'm not taking away from Saying i'm Anti. Pope i'm just saying right, now they're nineteen and ten AND i still have a lot of optimism About, march even Though saturday was fun And i'm. Excited but it's, like if we're talking about, Yeah i'd Put stoops ahead Of. POPE i Put cal ahead Of. POPE i just haven't been there with him, yet.

00:26:58
Speaker 5: All, Right So, Don, Yeah SO i went to the women's game yesterday AND i, STOOD i stood right like next To South carolina. Bench SO i spent a lot of the first two quarters of the game just Watching don stately fascinating to. Watch first of, all like you could hear in the timeouts really, smart, Uh LIKE i can see why they're so. Good like she would say exactly what she wanted to exploit when she wanted.

00:27:28
Speaker 3: To she would be.

00:27:29
Speaker 5: Very WHAT i could, hear AND i could only hear bits and, pieces but she would be very much like that player's not, good go at. Her but what was really fascinating was watching her with the. Refs she is constantly on the, refs not in the mean, way but in a like that that AND i watched Her. SHANNON i watched her get like three calls, herself meaning she would go moving pick right. There you see how she moved moving, pick moving, pick and then the next time, down watch out for the moving, pick moving, pick moving, pick.

00:28:08
Speaker 3: And then the third time down foul, call moving.

00:28:11
Speaker 5: Pick so she basically created the moving pick. Call And i'm not saying it wasn't a, foul but she would she would almost set up calls two calls in. Advance she would go watch her on the, block watch her on the, block watch her knee on the, block and then three times foul on the. BLOCK i think it's like it might be like a psychological, thing BUT i would watch her essentially plant the seed in referee, heads not so much screaming you're, wrong but saying this is, happening this is, happening and it would like be in the and then they'd call. It and obviously works because Watch i'm Not i'm not even criticizing. Her it, worked but it was fascinating to watch her do it like she JUST i watched her three times in the first half get calls that she got because of her kind of planting them. In the ref's screaming you got it. Wrong she's saying that, happened don't let it happen. Again and then when it, does she would they would Get.

00:29:11
Speaker 6: Oh that's a good. COACH i mean calling it ahead of. Time and even if she's not being over the, top there has to be a little bit OF i don't, know intimidations the, word but she does.

00:29:20
Speaker 3: Have to carry it most.

00:29:22
Speaker 5: Coaches one of the refs you could tell was a Little she would call the ref by, name and you could tell the ref was, like.

00:29:31
Speaker 1: She's calling me.

00:29:32
Speaker 3: Out, yeah that's. DALE i just.

00:29:34
Speaker 5: Thought it was like a master psychology class watching. Her she's so, successful watching her up, close will go? Ahead Will the women fought back real quick twice last night if they were down fifteen the first, half came back and tied. It then they got down thirteen and came back and had a shot at the end of. Time so they just they were not able to. Win but that by the, way it was a great environment.

00:29:57
Speaker 3: Yesterday it looked awesome on.

00:29:59
Speaker 5: Team it was crowd was into. It you, Know South carolin's just. Good they have a couple of players they are.

00:30:04
Speaker 3: Just sure they are better than. Us but we were in it at the.

00:30:07
Speaker 12: End, yeah what you were saying With Don staley might have been the difference in that game.

00:30:12
Speaker 13: Yesterday, YEAH i.

00:30:13
Speaker 3: Think it was Fo, YEAH i mean it may have.

00:30:16
