Look at all these people making friends here amongst the Kentucky community, Mario is filming people, uh Kentucky fans ask them questions. I don't know what it is with these kids. I was saying, like, you know, he's he's taking me into like learning the whole new world of types of people.

00:01:20
Speaker 2: Shannon. Yeah, and uh, you know they put their camera.

00:01:24
Speaker 4: Right in your face, camera ready at all times.

00:01:28
Speaker 3: Camera's always on. They put it right in your nostrils, like if you have nosehairs, the world's Got'm like, can you back that camera up just a little bit.

00:01:37
Speaker 2: He's like, it's a vibe.

00:01:38
Speaker 3: He goes, that's a that's a vibe, And I'm like, the vibe is showing every blemish on my skin.

00:01:42
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the vibe, but that's that's the.

00:01:44
Speaker 5: Way my vibe is normally. You know, the further away you are, the better the better you look.

00:01:48
Speaker 2: Right.

00:01:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, for me at least, I don't know about you.

00:01:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, he likes it to be right up in your face. Right.

00:01:53
Speaker 1: Well, I guess what he's doing videos. You need to get close to get that audio. You can hear what you know, get the audio a little better. I think we got a clip on Mike we can use.

00:01:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they can just back up, just just a hair a f I've nine two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. All right, So Kentucky got Kentucky and Gonzaga play on Saturday. The Sprint is not out yet, that'll come out probably sometime this afternoon. Gonzaga had blew out Baylor by forty, looked like a juggernaut. Then they lost to West Virginia and we're down fifteen most of the game, which was kind of weird.

00:02:26
Speaker 2: Beat.

00:02:27
Speaker 3: San Diego State pounded them at San Diego State. San Diego State then went and played well. So they've looked great in every game except West Virginia, so maybe that was just a fluke. How do you see it going on Saturday, Drew?

00:02:40
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna just be a fun matchup because Gonzaga is always at the top in point score. This year, I think they're averaging ninety one. I don't know the exact rankings at this moment, but you know, UK's right up there with them. I think the two styles are gonna be a lot of fun and make it a good high scoring game.

00:02:54
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a ton of points. I think so they play Pope.

00:02:58
Speaker 6: We even said this, they play a little Clemson inside, they're a little stronger rebound well, they got some dudes down load up and down and their dude, I feel like their whole team we know them all. I mean, we played Gonzaga, nim hard. You got Hickman, Hickman who was committed to UK. People forget that we're facing a former what's the bigs name the I think it's pronounced k but it's spelled like, yes, he killed us last year.

00:03:21
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:03:21
Speaker 6: And then they added Battle from Arkansas who played really well in Kentucky last year. All these guys average between like eleven and thirteen points this The scoring is pretty spread out, but a lot of familiar names that we've seen in games before.

00:03:33
Speaker 3: Mark Pope said Ryan after the game said in his press conference yesterday, I'm more confident in this Kentucky team after the Clemson game than I was before. And his argument was, they got down seven, they were getting out worked out, rebound out everything, and yet they still came back, took the lead and it was a one possession game with three minutes to go. Do you agree with that attitude? Are you more confident after the Clemson game.

00:03:58
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the last two games, the Western Kentucky and the Clemson game where they didn't have their best shooting night, so they had to find a different way to claw their way back into it. You know, they did it against Western wh they weren't shooting very well, and they really did it against Clemson though they didn't win the game.

00:04:12
Speaker 5: I think Gonzaga is probably gonna try to take a page out of Clemson's book and maybe try to be physical with Kentucky if they have the guys to do that. Gonzaga also shoots a lot of three point shots, so I think it's gonna come down to who whose shots are going down from behind the arc.

00:04:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kozaga talk about being physical. Bullied us last year in Rough.

00:04:30
Speaker 3: Now grant it was a completely not one player is the same, but they bullied us in Ruck last year. I mean it was that was probably Kentucky's outside of Oakland, worst performance of the year last year, and then we kind of got run against them two years ago up here. We haven't played well against him yet in this series.

00:04:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting because obviously you're gonna have to see my putt makes some changes, and maybe he saw some things and wook some things out in that Clemson game. Some guys we talked about maybe playing more minutes than we expected. And hell, it will be interesting to see the changes he makes against Gonzaga to come back, you know, getting beating and rebounds, not being out to score efficiently.

00:05:08
Speaker 2: So begin to be good to see the changes.

00:05:10
Speaker 3: Lamont Butler, according to Pope, his issues his ankle injury is quote a little bit of a problem. Said he didn't he didn't have an update on whether he would play. You know, we always usually have a conversation about who's the guy Kentucky can't lose. I'm kind of under the opinion after watching this it's Lamont Butler. I mean, I I don't think they can lose him if he doesn't play Saturday.

00:05:39
Speaker 2: Can we win? You can?

00:05:41
Speaker 6: I mean, we we know with how Kentucky plays, they get hot and just start throwing them in.

00:05:45
Speaker 2: They can get anybody. But I would think Nzaga would be favorite.

00:05:49
Speaker 7: We're clearly already saying the effects of losing the ankle coach too.

00:05:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, gosh, yeah, because that's a good point.

00:05:55
Speaker 2: If we had the ankle guy, Shanon, none of this would be happening.

00:05:58
Speaker 4: I feel like by this time last year, we already had at least a dozen turns.

00:06:01
Speaker 3: They came back, like with a Bennett he's read now in Houston, who's our ankle guy?

00:06:06
Speaker 4: This year we went we don't have one.

00:06:09
Speaker 2: It was only Humby is our ankle guy. Yeah, that's right, we.

00:06:13
Speaker 4: Don't need an ankle guy. We'll be fine. But yeah, up to your point. Without Lamont Butler, I don't feel good about their chances.

00:06:18
Speaker 5: He's the guy that really put the team on his back against Clemson, even though they didn't win, he was the guy that made it close.

00:06:24
Speaker 1: I thought we were okay there at point guard. He cursed the backup, but we saw he just didn't play play well against Climpson. I still think he's got some better basketball him. I think that was one well.

00:06:33
Speaker 3: I think I don't think he's always going to be as bad as he was. But if you told me, for instance, Lamont Butler was out for the year, I would say, we've got to find a way to turn robinsoner.

00:06:42
Speaker 2: O Way into a point guard.

00:06:43
Speaker 3: Like I don't think you could go into the season with current as your starting point guard and expect to make a real run just because he's too inconsistent and maybe most.

00:06:51
Speaker 2: Important, he just can't guard anybody. I mean, he's he's not a good defit.

00:06:55
Speaker 7: Williams would put his hand up, to be honest. You know, he could dribb a little bit more.

00:06:59
Speaker 3: I know, I don't want Williams away. I want him dribbling less if possible. A right, let's go for Travis Perry moving forward. No, Mark Pope said, you will see more Travis Perry if he doesn't play. I mean that's throwing him into the fire against Gonzaga on the road. But there might be a chance if Butler's out, you see some Travis Parry tomorrow.

00:07:18
Speaker 8: Well, when when.

00:07:19
Speaker 1: Kerr was out in the preseason, Travis was the backup point guard and played a lot in some of the exhibition games.

00:07:23
Speaker 3: All right, let's do our state football championships. I'm gonna go in order of the games. Okay, all right, so it starts at noon today on these radio stations. It will start right after we go off the air. Raceland versus Sayer, Private, Public, Rich, you know, Mountain all going at each other. Raceland and Sayer. Raceland was all other people be at the bar. But Sayer has a group of people we know really well. This is like the two facets of KSR personality, Raceland or Sayer. I think the Chad Pennington his program that he has put on his back and turned into some vol They finished the undefeated season and get the get the trophy Rich.

00:08:05
Speaker 8: This is tough one for me.

00:08:06
Speaker 1: I wear my Racelin Rams Gilligan hat, you know, like every day during the summer. But Jose I played seven on seven with a lot of these kids on Sarah.

00:08:12
Speaker 8: I know them well. I'm going with Sarah.

00:08:14
Speaker 4: Also, who's the rich team again, Sarah. Yeah, they pay for all their players. I'm going.

00:08:20
Speaker 2: That's not nice what you got.

00:08:21
Speaker 7: Coming from a published high school myself, where we you know, we struggle to make you buy each day.

00:08:26
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Raceland.

00:08:27
Speaker 3: I'm going Raceland take the first of all, Raceland. How should you abandon them? Ryan? They've given you T shirts, They've given you hats. I gotta come to the bar. Yeah, how can you in this time of need? How can you in this title? How can you throw them away?

00:08:41
Speaker 1: Because they're not coming to the restaurant this year, And I think the Sarah people will keep coming back full That's why I'm going with Sarah.

00:08:46
Speaker 4: There's spend more money there, There's been more money here.

00:08:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna take Raceland.

00:08:49
Speaker 3: I think maybe the best game of the whole thing is the second game today, Beachwood and Owensboro Catholic.

00:08:55
Speaker 2: This should be a battle. Max.

00:08:56
Speaker 3: I'll let you go first. This is the division your team played in. You lost to Beechwood in the semi finals.

00:09:01
Speaker 2: Who you got.

00:09:02
Speaker 7: Yeah, it hurts that we're not there. This one kind of brings a tar tomorrow. We should be there right now instead of sitting here and so it like, but that's okay.

00:09:09
Speaker 2: I think beach Woods are really really good for I mean, both these.

00:09:11
Speaker 7: Teams are good. I think Beachwood's so good. They got four dudes, they can fly. So I'm on Beachwood.

00:09:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:09:16
Speaker 5: If Beachwood's good enough to beat Max, how can you not say they're gonna beat Onsborough Catholic.

00:09:21
Speaker 4: I got Beachwood.

00:09:22
Speaker 1: I've been saying out here. Osbrough Catholic man the best player in the state. Though Brady Atwell, their quarterback, may be the best player in the state.

00:09:27
Speaker 8: So I'm going on with Brough Catholic, going.

00:09:28
Speaker 6: On withsbro Catholic that radio show They're gonna break the curse of going on five and election in at Kspar this year.

00:09:34
Speaker 3: I'm disappointed because I's bor Catholic starting to think KSR is bad new bad vibes and that's not true. But they still when when they play, that's the best crowd we get at ks Bar for a high school team.

00:09:47
Speaker 2: So I gotta go with alsbro Catholic radio old baits together, get rid of the they did.

00:10:12
Speaker 4: There's a Chattanooga Paduca pipeline.

00:10:14

Speaker 2: Ryle's really good. I'll take Ryl. I wouldn't pick Trinity for anything. I'm taking Ryle.

00:11:21
Speaker 3: If you go back in history, there's a common theme if there's a Louisville fan that's an awful, obnoxious.

00:11:26
Speaker 2: Person to me.

00:11:27
Speaker 3: He went to Trinity almost universally. There's a lot of good people at Trinity. I'm just saying, y'all produce the ones that are the nastiest. So I'll take Ryle.

00:11:36
Speaker 2: Cooper and Bowling Green Bowling Green for me.

00:11:39
Speaker 1: Give me, give me Bowling Green, two good quarterbacks. But Cooper's got a really good quarterback. Oh Cooper, I'm going Bowling Green. I'm going Cooper by. That quarterback's great, right, He's his name is uh.

00:11:55
Speaker 2: So give me Cooper against right.

00:11:57
Speaker 3: I may end up getting every one of those games wrong, but that's okay. Who's up next, Mike.

00:12:01
Speaker 2: Mike, Go ahead, Mike.

00:12:03
Speaker 3: All the games, by the way, will be on the big screen at Chaos Bar. We cannot get them to work on any other television. So if you come to watch the games, make sure you can't listen. We do what we can. We're not there. I'm doing the best I can. You dead, but they are. We'll be on the big screen at KOs Bar for every game except when Kentucky plays Gonzaga Saturday night.

00:12:20
Speaker 9: What's next, Hey, guys, Uh yeah, I'm here. Uh yeah. You kind of stole my thunder with the Travis Perry thing. I've been having a hard time being convinced that Kirk Crease is that much better than Travis Perry. But anyway, Matt, as far as the SEC goes in basketball, it looks to me that the SEC has just decided that they're just going to be good at everything.

00:12:48
Speaker 2: That's true.

00:12:49
Speaker 9: I think they're about Yeah, they're they're by far the best basketball conference this year. I don't think that's going to be an outlier. I think most they're going to be a good conference. They and it's the best coaching I've seen probably ever top to bottom on these teams. So they got the money to pay guys. But anyway, that's all I wanted to say.

00:13:12
Speaker 3: Appreciate, Carl, I think you hit it. The SEC has made the decision. I can tell you there was an initiative by the Conference commissioners, by the conference ads. They said we're gonna take the four major sports, which the way they look at it in college athletics is basketball, football, women's basketball and baseball, and they said we're gonna make the SEC the best in all four sports, and I think they've done it. They've always been the best in football, They've always been the best in baseball. They have in recent years become the best in women's basketball. The only thing left was men's basketball, and I think they're there.

00:13:51
Speaker 2: I mean this, you could make a strong argument.

00:13:54
Speaker 3: That the SEC this year is the best it's ever been in battle say that there are aven teams ranked right now, eleven and one of them isn't even the school John Caliperry coaches, right, so throw them in there.

00:14:09
Speaker 2: That's twelve.

00:14:10
Speaker 3: You got twelve, and then you got a team like Vandy who's not ranked, and what eight and one, seven.

00:14:16
Speaker 2: Eight to one.

00:14:17
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not sure any but South Carolina is probably the only team in the conference it's not very good.

00:14:22
Speaker 2: And even they beat the ACC team they were playing.

00:14:25
Speaker 5: Only one team in the conference has three losses. Everybody else's South Carolina.

00:14:30
Speaker 3: I think this is ryan the best it's ever been. This year is a gauntlet. I think every time you win a game on the road, you should throw a party, because I think this is gonna be the hardest it has ever.

00:14:42
Speaker 2: Been in the SEC.

00:14:43
Speaker 3: I think the SEC is gonna get eleven, maybe twelve teams in the tournament.

00:14:47
Speaker 1: This is by far the best it's been from top to bottom, I think since I've been around, and there's gonna be the Probably the winning team may have four losses in the conference.

00:14:55
Speaker 8: First place team have three or four losses.

00:14:57
Speaker 3: This is the SEC has decided going to be the best at everything.

00:15:01
Speaker 2: Yep, and they've done it.

00:15:02
Speaker 7: We played a game in the car yesterday of just messing around about like where you'd want to go if you were a five star quarterback whatever, and we all said, you know, if we were the best point god in the world outside of Stanford, We're going to the SEC.

00:15:15
Speaker 3: Outside of Stanford. That's exactly what you would do. We'll take a break, be right back here in Salt Lake City.

00:15:20
Speaker 2: This is KSR work back. It is Kentucky Sports Video.

00:15:25
Speaker 3: If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, the text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four one person rights Matt, Matt. If he's on the phone so much getting stuff done? What about Max for GM of you UK football? If all we needed was Australians, I'd pick you.

00:15:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, Unfortunately a few more.

00:15:43
Speaker 7: I was gonna nominate my good friend Miles Butler Mosses in the County Finance.

00:15:46
Speaker 2: You know, the former player would be good. Uh.

00:15:50
Speaker 3: By the way, one the thing I want to say, uh, well, because let me read this comment first. The woman says, Matt, it looks like you might have been right. You were the first person I heard say that person who shot the healthcare ceo might have had a family member not have coverage. Some are suggesting that's correct.

00:16:06
Speaker 2: Now.

00:16:08
Speaker 3: To me, that was the only reason I could think of you would shoot the CEO of a healthcare company. But I will say this, I'm extremely, extremely disappointed in people that I otherwise think normally would agree with on this idea that like, there are a lot of people Shenning celebrating this dude getting killed. It's unbelievable to me, Like, have we just become so deranged about our beliefs that we're.

00:16:38
Speaker 2: Gonna root on?

00:16:40
Speaker 3: Listen, the American health care industry is got a zillion problems the way I mean, I could go off on American healthcare system for hours, but none of that justifies killing a man in the street for walking in a building and being like, well, I don't like the US healthcare system, so I'm gonna start assassinating people that I mean, people who claim to be have good hearts and all that, saying I can't believe the people I see saying that.

00:17:09
Speaker 4: I've seen a lot of people online.

00:17:10
Speaker 2: Saying celebrating this man being murdered.

00:17:13
Speaker 5: And I don't know this guy, I don't know what his morals were, but either way, I don't want to ever celebrate somebody just getting shot down in the street here in our country.

00:17:21
Speaker 2: If you, I'm gonna be very careful.

00:17:24
Speaker 3: I say this because I don't want to like you know, there are things that are happening by that you know which side I generally tend to lean on. There are teams that happen on the other side that very much disappoint me and I. But when we then become doing the same stuff, then what in the world's the point?

00:17:43
Speaker 2: Like if if this whole world is just gonna be I don't like you. I don't like you, so I'm gonna kill you.

00:17:48
Speaker 3: I don't like you, so I'm gonna kill you, Like We're just gonna descend into madness. The idea that you would celebrate a dude walking down the street and getting murdered.

00:17:56
Speaker 2: To me, Ryan is awful. I don't care. I don't care what his job is.

00:18:00
Speaker 1: It's very sad to know that that's happening. You know, violence is never the answer. This dude with somebody's husband, somebody's dad, somebody's grandpa probably.

00:18:07
Speaker 8: You know, there's still there's.

00:18:08
Speaker 3: People putting the other healthcare CEOs putting their pictures up and where they live like that. That's terrible. Do our healthcare CEOs make too much money? Heck yeah they do. Do I think people get like, you know, pay for insurance and get screwed. Yes, you don't go shooting people in the streets, like come on, yeah, I mean, just cold blood and murder right in the middle of New York City. And I'm with everyone here. The reaction has been a little surprised.

00:18:33
Speaker 2: I've been amazed and otherwise.

00:18:36
Speaker 3: Seemingly normal people yeah like you saying well, I'm not gonna mourn for him.

00:18:41
Speaker 2: I'm mourn for the people who like you don't.

00:18:45
Speaker 3: It feels like I'm in a matrix world where people are celebrating murder on the streets.

00:18:49
Speaker 2: It's chucking.

00:18:50
Speaker 7: But uh, the point of that though, if you looked around BYU's campus with some of the smiles that you say, it would be impossible to find a serial killer.

00:18:58
Speaker 2: They're just old us. He'll kill a.

00:19:00
Speaker 4: Small They all drink milk. I saw them all. They were all drinking.

00:19:03
Speaker 7: All of them had small where it's like, you've definitely killed someone, you've killed someone, you've killed ten people.

00:19:09
Speaker 3: I don't know that we should say that about an entire game. They were very nice times. I'm wearing a b wash shirt. They were very nice. You think they were invited to the Winter Ball. Maya was walking around just getting invited to events. It was I wonder if they thought he was a heathen or something like. They just kept inviting him to church prayer groups.

00:19:27
Speaker 2: And all this.

00:19:27
Speaker 1: We did ask some like serious questions, like at the Chick fil A, do they have Coca cola pepsi?

00:19:32
Speaker 2: They did?

00:19:32
Speaker 3: They did because I didn't know. Yeah, I didn't know if Mormons could drink caffeine, But apparently they can because they had it in the in the coat, in the McDonald's and the Chick fil A. The Dike Cokes like a like a gray area there I think d coke is a gray area, is it? They saw it so?

00:19:49
Speaker 2: Uh well that I just did on I did on Field reported like brood tea and browed coffee. Oh wait, man, you can drink cold caffeine but not hot caffeine.

00:19:59
Speaker 4: Wow.

00:20:00
Speaker 2: Interesting. Interesting, I didn't realize the Actually I didn't realize. God cared with it was hot or cold.

00:20:05
Speaker 4: But don't he cared? Hey, don't nuke it, God, God's watching.

00:20:09
Speaker 2: Not put the microwave. You do it? Who's next? Blanding? Blanding? What's up? Blanding?

00:20:17
Speaker 10: Hey, Matt?

00:20:17
Speaker 9: Hello, Happy safe travels to you guys.

00:20:20
Speaker 3: And I got two really quick things. Number one, one of you guys posted on social media the big why out there by you.

00:20:27
Speaker 2: That was beautiful.

00:20:28
Speaker 3: I think yeah should take that down and put a picture with the belt draped over his shoulder.

00:20:36
Speaker 2: Number was really that was really beautiful.

00:20:39
Speaker 3: By the way the b yu y up against the mountain right there, I thought that was very very cool. But go ahead, Well, I think it'd look better with a picture of the only real world champion. And number two, uh, I wanted to ask Max if he thought Linda Kolslowski on on Crocodile Dundee was hot or not hot or not one of the things you don't know. And I appreciate the ca sir. You hate being asked about Crocodile Dundee about more than anything that right, that and kangaroo Jack.

00:21:06
Speaker 4: But you brought up Crocodile Dundee when we were talking about the Hats.

00:21:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I knew that that's the only movie people associated get across.

00:21:15
Speaker 3: You've never really, never really liked that. I want to give you just an example of sort of parts of this drive, that drive from Vale to like, is it Green River, Colorado where we got off the Interstate. I think so that drive got to be one of the most beautiful drives in America. Yep, I mean it is up there. That drive from Vale to Green River, where you're going through the rocky mountains and the mountains and the cliffs.

00:21:40
Speaker 2: Around you is beautiful. But we had a little time, so I was.

00:21:44
Speaker 3: Looking trying to figure out something we could see, and I saw that somewhere through there were the remnants of the nineteen seventy Wichita State football team crash. Everybody knows the Marshall team crash, but a lot of people don't know that the Witch a state football team crashed like fifty one people.

00:22:03
Speaker 2: Only ten people survived.

00:22:05
Speaker 3: Right the part of where the crash is is in an area that is so hard to get to that they have basically left most of the remnants there of the plane, like the pieces of the plane, the things that were on the plane, and so you can go to it, it's like an hour and a half hike. I didn't really think this group was up for it, so we didn't do it. But apparently it's one of the only, maybe the only scene in the United States where a plane is crashed and it's kind of been left like it was so pieces of the plane are still all over the place. And I was like, it is so odd in our society to think there are places in this country that are so hard to get to that only a handful of people have ever in the history been there, and that where that plane crash is one of them.

00:22:58
Speaker 1: You know, we went through some really remote areas where it was hundreds and hundreds of miles of nothing but land, and then we meant hundreds and hundred miles of nothing but mountains.

00:23:07
Speaker 3: But think about they just left the stuff. They They were like it would be too hard to get all of this stuff out there. They just left it. That's kind that. I don't know what it was about that story, but that was really crazy to me thinking about as we were driving through. We'll take a break, be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio quarter Mac. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, one person says Mac, I would call Max the crocodile punter.

00:23:32
Speaker 2: What does he think about that?

00:23:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, someone a made a graphic of that at some point. Again, let's just leave the Austrange chucks.

00:23:39
Speaker 2: You just don't but you just don't like it. I just hear it all the time. You do. Hear it all the time. I've been around you a lot.

00:23:45
Speaker 3: Every time you say Australian, somebody says kangaroo or good day mate, you get it, boomeray.

00:23:51
Speaker 2: You get a little annoyed by it. Yeah, it's not the greatest juction.

00:23:53
Speaker 7: You said you had something you wanted to say. Oh, you said, you go to text. I go to text. Actually during the break, it was from your beautiful mother, Karen. She said, was just listening to the segment about the plane crash and how remnants are just left in places and never picked up.

00:24:08
Speaker 2: She said, well, actually, that reminds me of Mett's place.

00:24:10
Speaker 7: When I walked into Thanksgiving, I found two hundred dit coke boddles that have just been left in.

00:24:14
Speaker 8: Places that apparently it's just really hard to throw out.

00:24:17
Speaker 2: Good So, Karen, thank you for that text.

00:24:19
Speaker 3: That was my mom did not say that is that is? That is very rude on your part. I was just saying a minute ago, there's a guy here from Prestonsburg, and he brought his girlfriend and I guess she's from here in Utah, and she's very beautiful.

00:24:35
Speaker 2: And I said, Prestonsburg, Eastern Kentucky's.

00:24:37
Speaker 3: Spitting game everywhere, Ryan Lemon, Once you get Prestonsburg out in the world, you can't stop it.

00:24:43
Speaker 8: Hey, you don't. There's something about the magic and the charm of the boys in the mountain.

00:24:47
Speaker 2: That's right.

00:24:48
Speaker 3: And he comes to Utah he still got the Prestonsburg mustache, like he's still I love it. Keep you do that fifteenth region all the way out here in Salt Lake City.

00:24:57
Speaker 2: There you go, Prestonsburg pig and a poke, right.

00:25:00
Speaker 8: Taking a poke at Prestonsburg.

00:25:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly right, but twenty eighty seven, Who's next?

00:25:06
Speaker 2: Tory? Tory? Go Tory.

00:25:10
Speaker 11: Hey, good morning fellows, how are you uh good?

00:25:13
Speaker 2: Good?

00:25:13
Speaker 11: Thanks for asking. So Matt I called. I called a couple of weeks ago after the Texas Longhorns on the postgame show. I was pretty upset.

00:25:21
Speaker 3: Uh.

00:25:22
Speaker 11: I'm typically a podcast listener and I was listening to yesterday's show on the drive to Louisville right now, and uh, I know. I called Stoops. I said he created a culture of oops, like like Weston eyes and confidence. And I heard the story about the GA that supposedly a quarterback the entire line respected and liked. And I know Stoops is a gut guy, and it just seems like a gut check to bring that guy in and kind of keep that going because if it's hard to earn the respect of your O line, and he did that. But maybe Stoops is more of a liver guy and and the GA just didn't fit in to Bourbon.

00:26:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, I have to say, and I appreciate the call. The there is a there's a trend online of a lot of people because they don't like Stoops's coaching and don't think Stoops should be the coach for football reasons, which I think, while is a completely valid point, there is a trend now to try to destroy them personally based on where the stuff person I think that's a terrible trend. These I will say this, and I've said it a lot, These are human beings. Okay, yeah they're coaches. Yeah they're paid a lot of money. But like the way people are talking about especially Mark, I just don't think it's fair to him. You can totally believe that Mark shouldn't be the coach at Kentucky. I think that's a reasonable opinion. I think it's a reasonable opinion to think he should. But I there's this trend to kind of like, let's just destroy him personally, and I think that's a terrible trend, you know, and I.

00:27:12
Speaker 2: It's not.

00:27:13
Speaker 3: It's honestly, to me, not fair those First of all, a lot of this stuff saying is just false. But secondly, like, what what is your point? What is your point? You know, ultimately he's gonna be the coach at Kentucky and even if he were to leave, he's been the coach at Kentucky. What are you trying to do? So Drew, I that thing that is happening with the coaches. Do I think there were times in the past that those dudes have made mistakes? Yes, I do. Do I think that then just deciding let's just ruin them. That's that's the behavior that you don't want to get because this is you, guys. Are people are treating this, This is sports. This is not ruin people's lives. Yeah, I know you're talking about those in Actually you just see it start to snowball. Like I saw someone post a picture that was really old, but they tried to present it as current as if stupid. Well, there's people posted pictures all the time that are from you know, two years ago, and people are like, this is what it was the night before the Louisville game like that.

00:28:13
Speaker 2: That's that's not fair to me.

00:28:15
Speaker 6: They're just trying to create a narrative to bring him even further down. I mean, he's in enough hot water with how the football season went. I don't feel like we have to make things up to just try to make it look worse.

00:28:24
Speaker 5: Ninety nine percent of the time, this Kentucky fan base is the best fan base in the world, but when they turn on you, they can also be the worst, especially if you're the coach for you know, football or basketball, because you're under that magnifying glass.

00:28:37
Speaker 4: It's not fair to them personally, it's not I hate it.

00:28:40
Speaker 1: When we do it to our politicians. We do it to our actresses, our singers. Man, you know, you like him or not, is he a good coach or not? It's gonnah to do what he does in his personal life.

00:28:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we talked about it before with the CEO.

00:28:52
Speaker 7: I mean, you come in all you want about he's football coaching, whether you think he's good about or whatever. But I just think leave the personal stuff to the side and just be the better person.

00:29:01
Speaker 2: Let's do some draft kings.

00:29:03
Speaker 3: You go to Draft Kings, you could bet five win five, one hundred and fifty dollars. Let's do some college football big time game picks. All these all these games for the conference championships, all of them are surprisingly really close spreads, at least a lot of the big ones. I'll go through on the ones on Saturday. Iowa State, Arizona State. Arizona State's a point and a half favorite Big twelve title.

00:29:27
Speaker 5: I go Iowa State, I go Iowa State. We just went through Iowa. I feel very connected with the state of Iowa. I'm going to Iowa State.

00:29:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's hope of Arizona State. The fans. Don't rush the field too early and let the game be done.

00:29:36
Speaker 3: I'm gonna state Iowa State as well. We're look at this, but almost you do. You take Arizona's stats, all right, So one for Arizona State. Let's go Clemson SMU SMU a two and a half point favorite.

00:29:47
Speaker 2: We're just are we doing the spread here? I'll say Clemson covers that, then.

00:29:51
Speaker 4: I'm going Clemson SMU SMU.

00:29:53
Speaker 2: I can't stand Clemson winning.

00:29:55
Speaker 3: I can't stand Clemson either, but they're gonna win. I'm taking Clemson. My pick of the year is Oregon over Penn State. So give me Organ's a three and a half point favorite. I'll bet everything I got on Oregon. Yeah, which means bet Penn State.

00:30:10
Speaker 6: I would not put money on James Franklin whatsoever. I'll any team against Pennsvilkel Oregon.

00:30:14
Speaker 2: Money lines are better than that.

00:30:16
Speaker 8: He never wins the big game. This is a huge game Oregon.

00:30:18
Speaker 5: I was about to say Oregon until you called it the luck of the century. I'm going Penn State.

00:30:22
Speaker 2: Okay, exactly.

00:30:24
Speaker 7: No, I think Oregon's aren't going to go through unefeated. I think Penstead actually wins this fun uh three four o'clock tomorrow.

00:30:30
Speaker 3: Georgia Texas Texas a two and a half point favorite. I like Georgia by the way, I'm doing a Clemson Oregon Georgia parlay.

00:30:37
Speaker 2: Who do you like? I'll take Texas.

00:30:39
Speaker 8: I can't bet against Georgia ever.

00:30:41
Speaker 7: I gotta go Georgia SACA. So even it's so hot, I mean, you can't beat two table. He can't beat a team twice to may. So Texas wins. All right, there you go. That's your draft Kings picks. Who's next job?

00:30:51
Speaker 8: Phillip tonight?

00:30:52
Speaker 2: Who cares go Philip? Go ahead? I just kid West yet? Yeah? Western Place? Tonight? Go ahead? Who are.

00:31:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're coming up. So that's a good question.

00:31:12
Speaker 3: We were gonna stop in Boise tonight, but there was a group vote. We're now going to a place called La Grande Organ.

00:31:19
Speaker 4: It's big.

00:31:20
Speaker 3: We're staying in La Grande Organ. I don't know where that is. I don't know.

00:31:25
Speaker 2: One thing there, never heard of it.

00:31:27
Speaker 3: If any of you know anything about La Grande Organ, let me tell us. But to get to Seattle and time for the pregame, it feels like that's what we have to do. So no, we're going north across to uh La grande Organ, which means.

00:31:42
Speaker 2: The big lagrain organ lagrained.

00:31:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, never mind.

00:31:47

00:31:48
Speaker 3: You all pronounced grande grained, so they just decided they just take the e.

00:31:56
Speaker 2: And not pronounce it. That's a very organ thing to do.

Speaker 3: Well, we're chas bar and grill with a knee on our grill, so it's true.

00:32:05
Speaker 2: Shut up, all right, go ahead, sir.

Speaker 3: Spring, I know, just let us know which one. One person writes, Matt, do you count flying through a city as having been in a state?

00:35:07
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, you have to.

00:35:09
Speaker 3: Have actually spent I go even further, you have to have spent some amount of time walking the city. I'm not gonna say you have to spend the night, but you have to have been in the city kind of moved around. And then that's fifty and I I would say I've been to forty five twice, but I haven't.

00:35:29
Speaker 2: I've only been to I've been to Alaska twice. I've only been to why once.

00:35:33
Speaker 3: There may be one, maybe Montana once, but I'm in it, you know, and then Oregon will be once. But you have to, in my opinion, have to have Shannon walked around and being there for it to count.

00:35:43
Speaker 5: Well, we're gonna do it tonight and uh, best Western you ready for it.

00:35:47
Speaker 4: Don't tell people I've already booked it for us.

00:35:50

00:35:54
Speaker 4: I mean we might need some company.

00:35:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, will have rooms. Right, I'm twenty to eighty seven. Who's up next? Ricky? Oh, Ricky?

00:36:03
Speaker 3: Before we go, rookie, Ricky, let me say real quick tomorrow, okay, tomorrow for the pregame show.

00:36:08
Speaker 2: Uh, we have we have found a place for it.

00:36:11
Speaker 3: And since I can't find it right now, you go ahead and talk Ricky, and then I'll have it after the call.

00:36:18
Speaker 12: That's first time color Who are And there's a there's a couple of days I'd like to say. First, I want to keep it real for you. Take you basketball. I've been taking fans to meet how to grasshopper. I think the a SEC. I think we finished fourth or fifth. They first and second at a time with Auburn and Tennessee Alabama third huts and floridath fourths and fifth takes the sixteen tick your team. And I got a question for you, Matt, which team do you think can go eight and twelve or not live in a SEC and win and get it into the Big Dance.

00:36:56
Speaker 3: Well, we only play eighteen games. Yes, you could go eight and ten and the SEC and make the tournament. Depending on who you beat and who beats you and what you did in the non conference, you could. This is a year Ryan where you could have a losing record in the SEC and still make the NCAA tournament.

00:37:11
Speaker 1: Yes, it doesn't happen very often, but I think this year the SEC's so strong it could happen.

00:37:15
Speaker 2: This is the one year.

00:37:15
Speaker 3: Now you have to get some wins against the good teams in order to do it, But Drew, I certainly think it's plausible.

00:37:20
Speaker 6: I agree, and I'm looking forward to you know, uh, the SEC tournament matters again, had mattered in a while.

00:37:25
Speaker 2: Of all the year, it's gonna have the teams this year. This would gonna be.

00:37:30
Speaker 3: If you if you want to go to an SEC tournament, this is gonna be the year there're gonna be teams playing on Wednesday that are multiple teams that are really good.

00:37:38
Speaker 2: First of all, eight teams play on Wednesday this year.

00:37:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, not just four, There'll be eighteen, ninth to sixteenth. There will be multiple teams Shannon in the NCAA Tournament playing on Wednesday of the SEC tournament.

00:37:51
Speaker 5: This tournament of this conference is just gonna beat up on each other. I mean, that's gonna be, like you said, a lot of teams that are really good that have a lot of.

00:37:58
Speaker 4: Losses in the conference. It's just the way it's gonna be.

00:38:01
Speaker 3: Cowboy hat will be on, right, Cowboy hat on. Nashville's gonna get a lot of cowboy hat. Yeah, I'm gonna have my shoes by then. It's gonna be ready to go.

00:38:09
Speaker 2: All right.

00:38:11
Speaker 3: Buckley's is the name of the place. So for those of you in Seattle, Buckley's, which is apparently two blocks from the arena, uh, Buckley's on First Avenue, will be where we are doing the pregame show tomorrow. It will start for those of you listening at seven thirty Eastern, but that will be four thirty in Seattle, and we are gonna be in the upstairs area, so there's an upstairs in the downstairs. We will be upstairs at Buckley's in Seattle for the pregame show, So come on by, and we might even be there for the postgame, depending on the setup and and all that. All right, who's next, Skyler, Skyler.

00:38:47
Speaker 13: Go ahead, Skyler, Dan Davis shout out to Cole Bremer. Hey, hey guys, he usually call into the postgame show. I had a friend bring up something we kind of the theme of your second hour has been the dehumanization that we all often see on display and culture, and we have seen with the coaching staff. I had a friend bring up a good point about what Soups has walked through in the past several years that might maybe ease some of the fan base. I mean, he's lost John Schlarman, he's dealt with relational turmoil inter personally, and he's lost his mom. And I just wonder what the role of totally wonder what the.

00:39:28
Speaker 3: Role that's post that. That what you just said, And I'm glad you said that. In four years, he's lost one of his best friends in Schlarman, he's gotten a divorce, his kids are on his kids are on the other side of the country.

00:39:40
Speaker 2: And he just lost his mother.

00:39:42
Speaker 8: That's tough.

00:39:43
Speaker 2: That's a tough thing. Now, that's not an excuse.

00:39:46
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean you can't criticize the coaching, but it also means I would say, give the do to break personally. Just give him a break, That's all I'm saying. Like, I I think that the criticize every one of the things that happened with cal as he took professional criticisms. Personally, I thought there was no reason to do that, but I was always very careful to never criticize him as a person. I would always say he's a good guy, and I genuinely think he is a good guy.

00:40:13
Speaker 2: I would say to you when it comes.

00:40:15
Speaker 3: To Stoops, make all the criticisms professionally, you want, make all the criticisms about the culture and all that. It's all valid, and if you think you want him replace also valid. But he lost his mother, he had a divorce. I know the man misses his kids, he lost a friend. He's had a lot of stuff happened to him back to back in a few years. Just give the dude a break. Personally, I think that's not too much to ask.

00:40:42
Speaker 1: And in reality, those things are more important than a football game anyway. You know, we lose our mother, it devastates you for a while.

00:40:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is so. I mean, Max, you know him better than any of us.

00:40:53
