00:01:12
Speaker 4: Nice to see your vacation.

00:01:15
Speaker 5: It's like a fun week. And did some Shady Rays without me, some corn bread without me, But it's good.

00:01:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, both great crowd at Shady Rays Friday, cornbread Hemp Thursday out there in the in the hemp field, and then we had the weekend off, arguably one of the more exciting. We talked on Friday about how it might be the worst college football schedule ever and we should learn. We ended up with five of the eleven top teams losing and maybe the most exciting day. And Ryan, we'll get to all that. But did you spend Saturday watching football? Or how you went to Hanover?

00:01:48
Speaker 2: Where'd you go Kentucky Wesleyan? How did that go? Went great?

00:01:51
Speaker 6: Yes, Kentucky Wesson got beat, but it was a good visit. It was kind of cool for me to walk around my old campus. Got home in time, little watch the second half of the game. We're gonna talk about so I bet.

00:01:59
Speaker 4: You that you walked around acted like you were big stuff and you sort of walked around and kind of like that used.

00:02:06
Speaker 2: To be my dorm right there, and yeah, were I'm still there girl. Wait man, they have to have updated the dorm by then.

00:02:12
Speaker 6: I think the dorm is still there. It was all an all boys dorm when I was there. Now boy little boy girls co ed.

00:02:19
Speaker 4: But again, they've updated it, hopefully probably, I mean probably they would still have fire burning stoves in there if it was from when you were there.

00:02:28
Speaker 2: So so so, yeah.

00:02:30
Speaker 6: Well you came back on the disabled list.

00:02:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, not not exactly the same weekend for me, Shannon that uh by some of the other folks got to.

00:02:40
Speaker 2: Little Boo Boo. Yeah.

00:02:42
Speaker 4: So, I mean I didn't expect to spend the weekend begin in the emergency room.

00:02:46
Speaker 2: But I did.

00:02:47
Speaker 4: On Friday that so, after a shady raised, I drove to to Well. I got to eat with my parents right over there. Then I drove to Louisville and I think I told you they were painting the doors and the porch and stuff. You say that, yes, And you know this house I'm in is an older house, right, so it's like it's got wooden doors, I mean, part of the charm of it isn't it is that it's old, right, That's part of why people would want to live there.

00:03:13
Speaker 2: It's a classic kind of old house. You tell you the big wooden front doors.

00:03:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, big wooden front doors and there, and they're like from they're from the late eighteen hundreds, you know, so they have like a traditional style. But that's not always there are disadvantages to that. Andrew, So there was a person who came and painted the doors, you know, get you get these old doors and you paint them. I don't know. I don't understand science, Shinnon. I don't know if it makes the wood expand or contract or whatever, but like it can it can make the wood drew be different wood essentially.

00:03:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it adds a little layer of paint.

00:03:50
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm not saying it goes from like cherry to oak. I'm just saying, like it just adds a layer of paint.

00:03:56
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:03:57
Speaker 4: And then you know that these doors they were old and were kind of tight. Anyway, So long story short.

00:04:02
Speaker 2: I get home, I try to go out the back door.

00:04:06
Speaker 4: It won't open or won't she won't close to lock, right, So I'm opening it from inside, but it won't close the lock. So I call the guy and I'm like, what do I do about this? And he's like, I'll come by there tomorrow and work on it. He's like, for now, you know, just push really hard.

00:04:22
Speaker 2: And I don't know why.

00:04:23
Speaker 4: I thought, shennon, Well, that's a scientific explanation.

00:04:28
Speaker 2: Just push really hard, Just push really hard.

00:04:30
Speaker 4: I mean, he's the expert, right, true, he said, just push hard.

00:04:33
Speaker 2: And you know what, maybe I didn't push hard enough.

00:04:36
Speaker 5: Did you consider pushing hard before?

00:04:37
Speaker 2: He told you?

00:04:38
Speaker 4: I had pushed hard by my standards, But maybe the answer was push harder.

00:04:45
Speaker 2: Right.

00:04:46
Speaker 4: So I go and I push and I like kind of put my shoulder, you know, like I'm about to make a hit, and the wood says I'm not moving, and instead my hand goes through the pane of the glass. Oh no, because there's like little glass Paine, huh, glass shatters. I think what happened is one of the shards that were left just cuts the top of my wrist. And when I say cut, it's a cut. It's the worst cut I've ever had, and it's the most I've ever bled.

00:05:19
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, blood like gushing.

00:05:22
Speaker 4: Wow, it's gross, but it's also scary, right because now I'm in my house bleeding profusely.

00:05:30
Speaker 2: Blood is going everywhere, and you know, I don't know what to do.

00:05:38
Speaker 4: I mean there's a big sense of if there's somebody there, if I if I had a nurse around or somebody I knew, you know, well that might help, but I don't.

00:05:51
Speaker 2: So then the first thing is, Okay, I'm bleeding everywhere. What do I do? So I go grab like a.

00:05:55
Speaker 4: Towel, like a shower towel, and I wrap it because I feel like that's what I should do. Well, I mean it's a guess. I wrap it, but I'm bleeding a lot and it like the tow By the time I got to the clinic, the towel was soaked and I'm talking like a shower towel. Okay, lot of blood. So now it's like what do you do? And then I think, well, who am I gonna call? Well, I mean people are at work, Shannon's probably at some dance club.

00:06:29
Speaker 2: I mean, like, you know, who am I gonna call? I'm in Louisville.

00:06:32
Speaker 4: If I'm in Lexington, I have a million options. But in Louisville, I have fewer options, and they live different places.

00:06:37
Speaker 2: You know. I was like, I could call. I mean, if I call my mom, like it'll scare, But she's three hours away.

00:06:43
Speaker 4: She's not gonna be able to do anything for me, right and in this moment, so I go, well, I'll just go to one of my neighbors. My theory is, let me find an old lady.

00:06:55
Speaker 2: What to do?

00:06:57
Speaker 4: Go to two different neighbor's house, both of which I don't think of particularly like me, And I think me showing up with a bloody cow that's on the porch is not gonna help.

00:07:05
Speaker 2: Not nobody's there, look like. I'm like, it's up, It's up to me. Yeah, right.

00:07:10
Speaker 4: So I get in the car and I'm like, there's an immediate care clinic like a mile away, but it's Barnstown Road at four point thirty, right.

00:07:20
Speaker 3: It's gonna take you some time to get there.

00:07:22
Speaker 4: Time, and I need to keep this thing wrapped. But I gotta drive right and I can't put this hand on it. So I'm one hand driving, trying to also not bleed all over my car. Get to the clinic, and I'm not gonna say which clinic it is. I'm not trying to like be down on people. But I walk in and I'm probably a little bit in a panic at this point. Right, if I'm being honest, and I walk in and I say.

00:07:48
Speaker 6: Hey, you know, look at me.

00:07:52
Speaker 2: It feels like this is what this place is for. Right, Well, you go they look at me.

00:07:59
Speaker 4: There or some alcohol on it, yeah, but you know it's andy. They wrap it so it's not just my towel. But then they say, like, all right, you're gonna need an X ray on this, and you might need stitches, and we don't want to stitch it up until you get an X ray to see if there's glass in it.

00:08:21
Speaker 2: Well, I hadn't even considered that thought, yeah, you know.

00:08:24
Speaker 4: And then they said, and to be honest with you, I don't think you're gonna need a hand surgery, but if you do, the only place in town where a surgeon is on call is blah blah blah. I'm not gonna tell people how to do bedside man or I don't know that was the right thing to tell me, cause now I'm thinking, Drew, I might have to have hand surgery. It's bad enough they need one on call. Yeah, Right, And I go, well, where's that, and they're like, downtown. You know, now it's four fifty I'm still bleeding and to go from the Midicare clinic down We're looking now, Shannon at two and a half miles in rush hour.

00:09:03
Speaker 3: Traffic, right, yep, it's a nightmare time for something like that to happen.

00:09:07
Speaker 4: And I go, that's what you And they're like, well, we can call you an ambulance and I'm like, but that.

00:09:11
Speaker 2: Don't take just as long?

00:09:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, longer, they say, you could call and get somebody to take you. But Shannon, by the time somebody gets there, I'm already got it could be where I needed to be, right, So I'm like back in the car now, Ryan, that was kind of the panicky uh huh time, right, I was. I mean, I'm still bleeding, like I'm bandaged up, but I can still see.

00:09:35
Speaker 2: Are you getting light headed at all?

00:09:36
Speaker 4: No?

00:09:36
Speaker 2: No, I never. If I had that, I'd have pulled over and called somebody. I never. I never felt you know, I think there was so much shock it hurt, but it didn't really hurt.

00:09:45
Speaker 4: It was more just like yeah, panic, So you know, I'm and then at that point one of my friends calls and I'm like, you just gotta to talk to me for a minute, and I get myself downtown.

00:09:56
Speaker 2: They know I'm coming.

00:09:59
Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure my blood pressure is like through the roof at this point. They kind of get me to calm down a little bit and and it turns out, I mean, it was a bad cut. I had to have seven stitches. I have to you know, I might have to go to a hand surgeon this week. Hopefully I won't need anything, but I spent most of the weekend just you know, it's not bad, it's just discomfortb.

00:10:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's uh your dominant hands.

00:10:24
Speaker 4: You got to do everything left my dominant hand, and you know they're so it's at the top of my right wrist, so I can't do things I would do with my right hand, which is basically everything.

00:10:32
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to eat left handed.

00:10:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I had a friend with me this weekend that helped a lot. But like when that when they left, you know, then I me trying to.

00:10:43
Speaker 2: Wrap this myself. I mean, like, come on, like what am I doing?

00:10:46
Speaker 4: So it's it's I'm here and I'm fine, but it's pitiful, and I like.

00:10:52
Speaker 2: I don't know when I'm gonna play golf again.

00:10:54
Speaker 4: I know that's not the worst thing in the world, but but.

00:10:57
Speaker 2: I was so excited to have nothing what.

00:11:00
Speaker 5: You're saying, but you're picking up balls.

00:11:04
Speaker 4: I was so excited to have a weekend of like nothing to do, sitting around watching you nothing to do.

00:11:11
Speaker 2: And I didn't expect Drew to end up in the er.

00:11:14
Speaker 4: I was there for hour like that because they just kept wanting to make sure it didn't swell, and I was there for hours.

00:11:20
Speaker 5: So I know you don't feel lucky, But if that had been on the bottom side of that wrist, you could be looking at something very very serious. I mean, I know top obviously, people know how risks work. But you're lucky as close it to is it?

00:11:31
Speaker 4: First?

00:11:31
Speaker 2: I know that, and I thought that was true.

00:11:34
Speaker 4: But I don't trust my science, right, so I know the bottom of the wrist, But I was like, does it extend to the top.

00:11:41
Speaker 2: No, I mean I did. I didn't know, and they said they thought I might have like nicked a vein. That's why I bled cell so much.

00:11:48
Speaker 5: Do you still feel like you got pretty good movement? Even?

00:11:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't lose any limitations. It's with my pinky finger when I do a fist, it's sore. It would swell up and go down and swell up and go down. These wrists wraps tighten it and it makes my hand swell up. So it's kind of like, what do you do?

00:12:06
Speaker 5: And so anyway, I thought you were gonna tell us like you had with a fire situation you door dashed a gauze and abandoned door dashing.

00:12:14
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I had nothing to put on it at first. I just had to. I just took a towel and wrapped it around, and it was it was gross. I will say. The one thing the clinic that was like, we can't help you. I feel like, I don't know.

00:12:26
Speaker 4: It seems like to me, stopping you bleeding in the moment is the thing a clinic should be able to do.

00:12:30
Speaker 5: The most I've gone to I won't name them too, the kind of urgent places that are just you know, off in the shopping center recently, I'm not sure anyone's callified to do their jobs.

00:12:39
Speaker 4: And I don't know what's the goal of those places. If they can't stop a person who's bleeding, why are you there?

00:12:47
Speaker 2: Like, what what do you do?

00:12:48
Speaker 4: What is the thing I could have gone in for and it was something I would have gotten something helpful with.

00:12:53
Speaker 6: You think stop and bleeding should be high on the priority list.

00:12:56
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand they can't perform heart surgery, but like.

00:13:00
Speaker 3: It's immediate care about definition. You didn't really get immediate care.

00:13:03
Speaker 2: I mean I got immediately told to go somewhere else. I guess that was care.

00:13:08
Speaker 6: I can see, Well that scares you. You're thinking, myself, my goodness, it's so bad. I have to go to a bigger.

00:13:13
Speaker 4: I'm really bad about when I see a doctor or something. And this goes back to when I was in the hospital for nine days. I'd like judge how they feel by their faces, which I don't know if that's good or bad.

00:13:24
Speaker 2: I don't know if you are like that.

00:13:25
Speaker 4: Like if I'm on a plane and we have turbulence, I'm always looking at the flight attendants, even though I know they're trained to not show emotion. I'm looking at them being like, well, she seems cool, and she's been up here a lot longer than that. But if I ever see one that looks panic, then that puts me and him over you understandably. So actually, so, I mean that's how I am with doctors people. And when she was like, you know, you may need a hand surge, I'm like, what, I haven't even considered that.

00:13:54
Speaker 6: So anyway, Glad're okay, Yeah, Glad, You're okay. You're going to the hand surgeon today so they can just kind of check it out.

00:14:00
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:14:00
Speaker 4: They called me just a few minutes ago and so I could go today. So I guess it's good. But uh, anyway, on the disabled list.

00:14:06
Speaker 2: On the disabled list.

00:14:07
Speaker 4: So for those of you wondering if I can box this week, It's probably gonna.

00:14:11
Speaker 2: Be a while before I'll be able to do it.

00:14:13
Speaker 4: If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, got a little Kentucky jersey in here earlier?

00:14:17
Speaker 2: What numbers that one? Number one? What Cliff Hawkins? Who else was number one?

00:14:23
Speaker 5: Darius Miller?

00:14:24
Speaker 4: Darius Miller, that's right, Darius Miller. That's probably the most recent.

00:14:28
Speaker 2: Number one was Brandon Stockton, number one. That's probably why?

00:14:31
Speaker 4: Is Brandon stock seven seven seven seven four five two five four?

00:14:36
Speaker 2: Is it Edwards? Justin Edwards? Is the Texas yet? That's right?

00:14:39
Speaker 4: We will take a break talk a little bit about the huge upsets this week and Shannon the dude's team gets.

00:14:44
Speaker 2: A massive win. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back at this Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:14:51
Speaker 4: If I'm nine, twenty two eighty seven, Devin Booker was number one.

00:14:54
Speaker 2: How do we not get that one? That one's one? Sasha Kala Jones was number one? Forget that? Yeah, yeah, that one's a little easier. Uh.

00:15:02
Speaker 4: James Young, James Young, that's right, Uh, James Young, number one. Now if I'm nine two eight oh, twenty two eighty so, one person says, Matt, you like door dash? Door dash for medical relief is called an ambulance. Why didn't you just call that?

00:15:15
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like those are expensive.

00:15:18
Speaker 4: They're very expensive, and I didn't, you know, I if i'd like, if I got light headed, I would have done that.

00:15:23
Speaker 2: But I felt like I could get where I need to be. Also, let the clinic. The one woman looked at me and goes, do you have somebody who can come and get you? And I wanted to be like, if I did, I would they would have brought me here. Understand, I don't know anyone later, I mean, you know, if I if I had someone there?

00:15:40
Speaker 5: So have you all taken an ambulance rod before.

00:15:43
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I have had I've had to do that a few times.

00:15:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all the if I've been somewhere when I had one of my medical episodes. Sometimes people get scared and then they call and I don't need one, but like then they're there, and what are you gonna do?

00:15:56
Speaker 2: You know?

00:15:56
Speaker 5: I took one after a wreck, and I remember the emt asking me if helicopters eat their young and I looked at him like he was crazy, but I guess he was trying to see if you're caught that. Yeah, yeah, good times. Luckily we didn't have to do that. All right, Let's talk about the game Vandy.

00:16:12
Speaker 4: Shannon said, you said Friday, no chance, no chance they would even cover, And not only did they cover, they won.

00:16:19
Speaker 3: I didn't even believe it when it was happening. I loaded up on DraftKings, put down fifty dollars for Alabama to come back because I realized, or I thought of that moment, Hey, they're gonna come back, They're gonna win. Of course, there we've seen how this movie ends. But no, Vandy not only be they dominated Alabama.

00:16:36
Speaker 2: See I thought that was the story. I mean, Vandy was better.

00:16:39
Speaker 4: It wasn't flukey, they were better, and had Alabama one, I think it would have been a little bit of good fortune. And how about the fact that Alabama twice takes the lead, Ryan and Vandy comes back. You don't expect that, and then Vandy needs a stop excuse me, two first.

00:16:56
Speaker 2: Downs to win the game.

00:16:58
Speaker 4: You just assume they're not gonna get it and Alabama's gonna chance, and then.

00:17:01
Speaker 2: They go and get it.

00:17:02
Speaker 6: Alabama's defense could not stop Bandy, that little diego.

00:17:07
Speaker 2: He was awesome.

00:17:08
Speaker 6: He was I saw the stat where in the last six quarters Alabama's defense given up like over sixty points the last two quarters against Georgia and then all the points that Vanderbilt scored against Alabama.

00:17:19
Speaker 2: Just blows my mind. And it's even It's not like the home field advantage was crazy.

00:17:22
Speaker 4: There were more Alabama there were than there were Vanderbilt fans, and Vanderbilt still won.

00:17:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm as happy for Bandy, and I'm not even a huge Alabama hater, but I really enjoyed how the crowd was mostly Crimson people that make that trip, probably a lot of Nashville locals that like Alabama, and they probably planned a big night out, got making a weekend out of it. I mean, do you even go out or you just drive straight back to wherever you came from.

00:17:44
Speaker 2: You go back home. I think.

00:17:45
Speaker 4: I mean, like there's there are very few equivalents. I mean, the only equivalent as a Kentucky fan would be those would be like the Saint Peter's game.

00:17:52
Speaker 2: In terms of like cause, you know, a regular season.

00:17:55
Speaker 4: Basketball game you can lose, but football, you know, you just don't see it's gotta be If it's not the biggest upset in.

00:18:02
Speaker 2: SEC history, it has to be up there. I mean in terms of no one I.

00:18:06
Speaker 4: Mean, they just beat Georgia last week, you know, I mean, no one expects that to happen.

00:18:11
Speaker 3: Vandy lost to Georgia State earlier in the year, lost.

00:18:14
Speaker 2: To Georgia State.

00:18:15
Speaker 4: I mean, I know they beat Virginia Tech, but they lost to Georgia State, and so you go, and I think they lost to.

00:18:21
Speaker 2: Georgia State chanting by like two touchdowns. I think it was It's crazy.

00:18:28
Speaker 5: It was so big. I mean, did you see the Lane Kiffin press conference. He stops talking and points the TV and says, we should all watch this. This will only happen once in our lifetime.

00:18:35
Speaker 2: So yeah, he stopped taking.

00:18:36
Speaker 5: Questions just to say, everyone take a second to look up at this TV.

00:18:39
Speaker 4: And then Tennessee loses that night at Arkansas. It's the only time in my life I'll ever root for Bobby Petrino. But I was like, Bobby dials something up right here. You know, Louisville loses to SMU. Gotta love that. I went down, even with my hand. I walked a long way to Saint James Art Fair. I'm not sure that was a great decision because when I came my hand was a little swelled. But I did that, and I stopped at a Louisville bar and watched some of that game. And I'll tell you what I tell you what's got to be worrisome if you're a Louisville fan is how few people around the campus even seem to care. I mean, the crowd at the game was awful, but I was at bar. I went to two different bars that are right next to Louisville's campus and there were five people and the game was going on and there was nobody on their campus at all. And that's got to be more worrisome, is that is that drew. They it's like their fans don't even care about football.

00:19:37
Speaker 5: I'm really starting to wonder how many louis fans are already more because this isn't just a little wormatic campaign. I mean, Pat Kelsey didn't have much.

00:19:45
Speaker 4: Blue Madness, only had eighty six hundred people. Pat Kelsey is a new coach, like this is his first appearance in front of the fan base. They didn't even have like the press conference like we did in terms.

00:19:59
Speaker 2: Of and Ryn.

00:20:00
Speaker 4: They only had eighty six hundred people. And then at the game, I mean they're playing SMU, They're still Louisville is still good, and they had like it was only like half full on a nice day, perfect day could have made a double header out of there.

00:20:15
Speaker 2: Because asked for a more perfect deby.

00:20:17
Speaker 6: Well, you know, we came up with excuses for the one home game that many people went and say, well, it was louder than Life or Bourbon and beyond.

00:20:24
Speaker 2: So what's the excuse is why was that fair?

00:20:27
Speaker 4: And there were I'll tell you what, there were more people at the Saint James Art Fair than the game.

00:20:31
Speaker 2: But I don't think that's a good sign.

00:20:33
Speaker 4: I mean, if an art fair is out drawing you a home football game. I mean the art fair was Shannon When did I went to that art fair like ten years ago and it was like one street.

00:20:46
Speaker 2: That's just massive. It's massive.

00:20:49
Speaker 4: I mean, the Saint James Art Fair might be the biggest event in the state's h in the It's unbelievable how many people are there. But I'll tell you where they're not. They're not at the louisvill football.

00:20:58
Speaker 5: Does Louisville have to start skede sports around its art fairs?

00:21:01
Speaker 4: I think louis I think Louis's gonna have to take art fairs to their games.

00:21:06
Speaker 2: They're gonna need to put up exhibits, sell.

00:21:09
Speaker 4: Caramel corn, right, uh macha lattes or else They're not.

00:21:15
Speaker 2: Gonna be able to get people to come with a.

00:21:17
Speaker 6: Good weekend when Louisville loses, Tennessee loses, and Vandy beats Alabama. But my favorite scene of that was the goalpost going down Broadway.

00:21:25
Speaker 2: Well, all right, so I want to talk about that in the next kay.

00:21:27
Speaker 4: I want to talk about the whole decision and and and what the mindset had to be like for that. But I will say, you know, because after I did that, walk in the Saint James Arfair.

00:21:35
Speaker 2: I got back. I was like, I'm not sure that was a good decision. So uh. I spent the after.

00:21:40
Speaker 4: The rest of the afternoon and evening at home, and I listened to the Louisville post game show, the Alabama post game shows, and the Tennessee postgame shows.

00:21:52
Speaker 2: You can call that hater all you want. I enjoyed it. I'm not gonna lie to you. Listen to all those folks. I'll find bomball be awesome today. You have to listen to it. Today. You'll take a break.

00:22:02
Speaker 4: Very back TJ Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.

00:22:06
Speaker 2: He'll make them pay.

00:22:08
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

00:22:11
Speaker 2: Here's Matt Jones.

00:22:12
Speaker 4: Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. Drew and I were just talking about during the break Saturday Night Live. In these first couple of weeks, has had Dana Carvey do Biden? He does such like that's the best one I've ever seen. I've always kind of thought people didn't do him exactly right, and he is. Dana Carvey is perfect. The way he gets his eyes near and goes hey. So, by the way, come on guys good.

00:22:35
Speaker 3: Seriously, it's a little bit better than Ryan's impersonation.

00:22:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he looks just like the way his eyes will get tight and then big and like he's just I.

00:22:45
Speaker 2: Think it's perfect.

00:22:46
Speaker 5: I tuned in for Bergassi, but the debate opener was just as good. I thought Lapagin made a great Tim.

00:22:50
Speaker 2: Wafkin does a good Walls.

00:22:52
Speaker 4: Oddly, Bowen Yang is Asian and kind of looks like JD.

00:22:56
Speaker 2: Vance, which you wouldn't think he would pull that off. Pulled that off.

00:23:00
Speaker 5: I'mbout Bergotzi having a day because Vandy Alabama ended, probably right before he had to go get ready for Saturday.

00:23:05
Speaker 4: Night, and he as he was leaving the stage, he goes, Vandy Bean Alabama.

00:23:09
Speaker 2: Like that's a that's an awesome thing to say on the way out.

00:23:12
Speaker 6: Very cool, you know, to celebrate that book because all college football fan, I've played it on that game.

00:23:16
Speaker 4: I saw that This is, you know now, fifteen or twenty years ago, but I saw with my parents Cat on a hot tin roof in New York on Broadway and Ashley Judd was in it, and Kentucky and Louisville were playing that day in basketball and at the end. As she bowed, she said go Cats, she did from the stage we beat Louis or whatever. So I thought about that with Nate Bargatzi. However, you know, now with Vandy you're a Vandy fan. Is this the best day ever?

00:23:46
Speaker 2: Shannon?

00:23:47
Speaker 3: I mean, how does it get any better than being Alabama the number one team in the country is like.

00:23:51
Speaker 2: Sixty Vandy sports moment.

00:23:53
Speaker 4: I know, you won the College Baseball World Series, but is this better than that?

00:23:59
Speaker 3: Probably so, I mean, just because there's so many eyes on the game. I mean, this is the talk of the sports world. It's gonna be all week leading up to next weekend.

00:24:08
Speaker 4: It's certainly the best Fandy football moment. What is the best Vandy basketball moment? When they made the tournament?

00:24:16
Speaker 2: No, probably when they won the SEC tournament. That was one of them.

00:24:21
Speaker 3: A couple of Sweet Sixteen appearances with Stallings, and I think they made it to the Elite eate once, So that's probably about it.

00:24:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, So gotta be gotta be great.

00:24:31
Speaker 4: All right, So the kids, they took the goalpost, they took them out of the stadium, and they took them all the way to Broadway.

00:24:39
Speaker 2: Wait, first of all, what a day for nerds.

00:24:42
Speaker 4: Right, Cal Berkeley hosts game Day and it's the best game day of the year. Right the signs? How good were the signs at Cal game Day?

00:24:52
Speaker 2: Right now?

00:24:52
Speaker 4: Only did you have woke versus Coke, DEI versus d u I. There was a sign that said I thought this was a protest, which I thought was great.

00:25:03
Speaker 5: I only do lines of code.

00:25:05
Speaker 4: I only do lines of code, which was a really really good one. I also like, I have concepts of a sign.

00:25:13
Speaker 6: And this was at six in the morning their time, Right.

00:25:15
Speaker 4: Six in the morning, their time. They were out there since midnight. I do love the chant they do. Have you heard the chant they do? Listen. I'll never do this, Shannon, but it's worth doing. Fine McAfee get leading the students in their chant.

00:25:30
Speaker 2: Okay, it's kind of awesome.

00:25:33
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not the biggest McAfee guy, but him leading the students when he was like.

00:25:37
Speaker 2: Don't even know what we tell the story, like it's a plate I'll give you. But like, so that was great. Cow. Who knew Cow would have a great game day?

00:25:46
Speaker 4: And then Vandy so they take the goldpust the post he get Mount Stadium. How far do you think it is from Vandy Stadium down to the honky Tonk.

00:25:55
Speaker 2: How far is it? Three three miles?

00:25:58
Speaker 4: They walk those those gold poles three miles downtown Broadway.

00:26:03
Speaker 2: Amazingly the police let him go. Now he let him go. They closed off traffic.

00:26:07
Speaker 5: Ye out an escort.

00:26:08
Speaker 2: They closed off traffic for him, took it down there.

00:26:12
Speaker 4: My question, though, Drew, is what when did they decide we're throwing this in the river.

00:26:19
Speaker 5: That's an easy decision. You get to Broadway and you're like, all right, I don't want this anymore. I want to go drink and have fun. We've already carried it three miles. We got to set her down somewhere, just throw it and throw it in the water. But now that's been done at other places. We go in a nearby river too.

00:26:35
Speaker 2: See I would want a piece of it.

00:26:37
Speaker 6: Well that Thankfully somebody had the smarts to say we got to get that out of there.

00:26:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:26:40
Speaker 6: They pulled it out pretty quick, chop it up and were going to sell this for money.

00:26:43
Speaker 4: Because see, I wouldn't have I would have gotten my piece before before they start selling it for money. Because if I carried it along, if I carried it all the way there, I should get a piece of it, don't you think?

00:26:54
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, but you know this was the old style goal post. It wasn't the collapsible one. This was like a heavy steal one. So unless you had a blow torch in your pocket, I don't know.

00:27:03
Speaker 2: If you could. So do you think that it was heavy for all of that to carry?

00:27:06
Speaker 5: I was one of the people at the base of the thing when we beat Georgia when it came down. Eventually have enough people, but they are very heavy and there are people on them. We carried it pretty far in the stadium. I've been do anything as crazy as Vanderbilt did.

00:27:18
Speaker 2: When that's happened.

00:27:19
Speaker 4: I know that there there's always been mythology about what happened to them in Lexington. So when we beat Alabama with couch, is it true that that ended up at two Keys?

00:27:30
Speaker 6: Like?

00:27:30
Speaker 2: Where did that end up? Yeah?

00:27:32
Speaker 6: The fraternity house was in two keys, and I think somebody was able to chop off some pieces of it, and then they one fraternity had like one whole arm of it and they were like clopping off pieces for everybody in the fraternity.

00:27:42
Speaker 2: So where do we think that is? Now?

00:27:44
Speaker 4: Like those pieces you just think they're spread out over everywhere.

00:27:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, we we have one, and uh, somebody brought one here when we were decorating KOs Bar, a little piece of of one, probably upstairs, Yes, uh huh.

00:27:57
Speaker 2: And sell it.

00:27:58
Speaker 3: What'd you say they're gonna chop this one up and sell it.

00:28:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's I mean, I get it, and that's nice, but I would rather if.

00:28:04
Speaker 6: You know, I'm making an nil deal for women.

00:28:07
Speaker 2: But I feel like.

00:28:08
Speaker 4: You should reward those kids that we had it for three miles. They're just gonna sell it to.

00:28:12
Speaker 2: Rich people, like I mean, they carried it three miles.

00:28:16
Speaker 3: Carried it home, but they took it to the river instead.

00:28:19
Speaker 4: The problem is, though you get something like that, where are you going? I mean, and there's no leader, You're just a group walking. Yeah, where are you gonna Where are you're gonna put it? And then you're right, like there's the logistical problem of how are you gonna hack that thing up?

00:28:32
Speaker 2: You know?

00:28:33
Speaker 6: I love that overhead shot though, of it going down Broadway through the traffic and the crowd and the parade all the way down to the river.

00:28:39
Speaker 2: Oh, isn't that why college football is the best? Yes? Who? Yes, I mean, that's why it's the best.

00:28:45
Speaker 4: There's no other sport where that level of upset can happen, and it really means something. It can happen in basketball, and when it happens in the tournament, that's really awesome.

00:28:58
Speaker 2: It's happened to us too out of the last three years.

00:29:01
Speaker 4: It cannot happen in the pros, right, there's nothing that can happen in pro sports that's like that.

00:29:07
Speaker 2: Take the worst team in the NFL.

00:29:09
Speaker 4: Who's the worst team in the NFL, though Tennessee Titans, say the Titans if they beat the Chiefs, that's.

00:29:14
Speaker 6: Nice, But like, you're not tearing the goal post.

00:29:17
Speaker 4: You're not tearing Baseball, the bet lose worst team wins all the time.

00:29:22
Speaker 2: Basketball it happens all the time. Hockey it happens all the time. So isn't this I mean, part of.

00:29:27
Speaker 4: What makes it great is that underdog like that can really only happen in college sports.

00:29:32
Speaker 6: And especially at a place like it had to be Vanded, It had to be Vandy.

00:29:36
Speaker 4: I don't think there's any SEC team that can get that reaction unless it's the nerds.

00:29:41
Speaker 3: Those are some strong nerds, to be fair. Yeah, that things like five hundred pounds and they're picking it up.

00:29:45
Speaker 5: It's not just college sports. I think it's college football more because to upset in football so much harder.

00:29:50
Speaker 2: There's usually a huge uh.

00:29:52
Speaker 5: Just size and physicality can be so different, even though they're in the same conference. It's van Vandy and Alabama play different sports and family Vandy found got him. It's just so much more rare in football.

00:30:02
Speaker 4: So I made the prediction, if you remember, especially this summer, I said the transfer portal's going to lead to parody because you can, like now, I'm not the only one making this. There may be other people making it then too. But the premise just is that you're not gonna stay and play second team at Georgia and Alabama anymore.

00:30:24
Speaker 2: You're gonna go somewhere else and play huh.

00:30:26
Speaker 4: And that that is making it to where these things can happen more often. I still feel like the national champion will be Georgia or Alabama, Ohios Date or whatever. But now you can get moments like this, and you can get there's gonna be some team make the playoff this year that has no business making a playoff if you just look historically, but they will because of something like this. I think the transfer portal in anile. While it makes it chaotic during the offseason, where it makes it to where like you might even not know when you're when the games start, good for.

00:31:00
Speaker 2: The sport exactly.

00:31:02
Speaker 6: And this this quarterback for Vanderbilt, he would have never have had that moment if not for the transfer portal portal allowed him to transfer to Vandy.

00:31:08
Speaker 2: He's at New Mexico State.

00:31:11
Speaker 4: None of us seem play, no right, nobody sees him play. Vandy's starting lineup had like six transfers from other SEC schools that came.

00:31:21
Speaker 2: Those kids would have never been there, right. It's ultimately a.

00:31:25
Speaker 5: Good thing, and with the nil, I think it makes the upset even more fun. We don't know the books, right, but I'm gonna assume Alabama's players are getting paid a whole lot more than VAS players.

00:31:34
Speaker 3: Absolute best part of this whole thing, all that money that those don.

00:31:40
Speaker 2: All that money in Alabama to lose to Vandy.

00:31:43
Speaker 4: You know, NL's gotta be we could have lost to Vandy, Shannon without me paying anything.

00:31:48
Speaker 3: Exact what they have to say, right, exactly, that's the best part of it.

00:31:52
Speaker 6: Next up for Vandy, though, a team that almost beat Georgia.

00:31:56
Speaker 4: I think this is great for us, exactly a trump thing where my hands are out here, and then I came together accord. I think this is great for us. I think this is exactly what we want. Yeah, right up, because now you're not gonna have to pump them up for that game. I mean we're still, by the way, a thirteen point favor. That number would have probably been seventeen or eighteen before now it's thirteen.

00:32:18
Speaker 2: But can they beat us?

00:32:21
Speaker 4: Of course they can beat us, but that was true before they beat Alabama. They nearly beat Missouri on the row. But we have, in my opinion, drew a much better chance of winning this game today than we did on Friday.

00:32:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, completely agreeing. Mark Stoop's teams have not been good out of bie weeks, luck stead earlier. I don't have it right in front of me, but pretty horrible. Actually, this absolutely wakes up the players if they needed it. I mean, you cannot turn on the TV and not see the celebration of Vanderbilt. There's no them sneaking up on you at this point. Now and now you look a lot better than we thought they were gonna be. But at least you know the team is up for it.

00:32:55
Speaker 2: And if you were.

00:32:55
Speaker 4: Wanting to see the scenario where the playoffs starts to be a potential who knows.

00:33:01
Speaker 2: Moment you got it?

00:33:02
Speaker 4: Saturday, Tennessee got a lost, uh you know, oh miss one right Alabama it's a loss beat South Carolina. So you know it's good court physical therapy. There's courts all over the state, seventy locations. Maybe I should have just gone there with my bloody wound. I mean, it's probably not what they're there for, but I'm sure they would have done something for me.

00:33:21
Speaker 2: Court physical there therapy helps.

00:33:23
Speaker 4: You get back into shape, back to exactly what you need if you've had an injury. Uh, KRT dot com there's one. What's one for instance, Beaumont, there was one right there in Barstown Road. Who knows, Maybe I'll be going to a court physical theory. May have to We'll see ko rt dot com. That's court dot com. Hope you don't need them, but if you do, all you've got insurance is taken. No doctor referrals necessary at court. We'll take a break. Be right back.

00:33:46
Speaker 2: It's KOSR here. You know what you tell the story, you turn the whole Yes, that was the that was the theft.

00:34:01
Speaker 4: McAfee doing the I guess they started doing that like in the seventies, Okay, and it was wild. I actually turned the game on that night. I think their crowd was more hype for game day than they were for it. But they've been up for a long time after all that time.

00:34:14
Speaker 5: I know McAfee. McAfee's not for everyone, but he's kind of starting a tradition with getting the crowds doing their chant, getting them going.

00:34:21
Speaker 2: That's cool.

00:34:22
Speaker 4: I think that's probably the thing that he's the best at of those things. And the guy made a kick for one hundred thousand dollars.

00:34:27
Speaker 2: Did you see that? I saw that. I was getting ready to say that. Yeah.

00:34:29
Speaker 6: Not only did they have the huge crowd there for game day, some kid won one hundred thousand dollars.

00:34:33
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. That's really good.

00:34:34
Speaker 4: They're selling the goal posts, sharning one thousand dollars for a piece, so a little small piece. Would you would you pay a thousand dollars for a piece of the goal post?

00:34:43
Speaker 2: Probably not.

00:34:44
Speaker 3: You can have the goal post. I remember the game. I don't need a goal post to remind me, so.

00:34:49
Speaker 2: The memories in your head. I don't need a physical reminder, that's exactly right. My kid was on the team.

00:34:54
Speaker 6: I wanted I wouldn't pay a thousand dollars what, Oh, yeah, I think I would.

00:34:57
Speaker 2: I love the two brothers of the quarterback. Did you see those guys? They kept showing the brothers that that. I think.

00:35:03
Speaker 4: At one point Tom Hart said, I know where the party is tonight, which is wherever those two guys go. And that was the truth you could tell.

00:35:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably had some some language on the broadcast too. They heard a good time.

00:35:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:35:15
Speaker 5: I think if I were on the goal post and a part of it, I would pay that.

00:35:18
Speaker 3: Now.

00:35:18
Speaker 5: If I'm just a fan that was on my couch miles away, no, but if I were part of that experience, I would want that on my shelf.

00:35:24
Speaker 2: I did.

00:35:24
Speaker 4: Like after the game was over, people would write me and say something like, Matt, I hope we show up to play for Vandy now and don't overlook them. I'm like, really, you know, they just beat Alabama. You think we should be ready, Like, you know.

00:35:41
Speaker 6: They just beat Alabama and last time they were here two years ago, yeah, two years ago.

00:35:46
Speaker 2: Now. You know.

00:35:47
Speaker 4: Historically people were like, Matt, we've we always struggled with running quarterbacks.

00:35:51
Speaker 2: That was true early in the Stoops years. It hasn't been as true recently.

00:35:56
Speaker 4: Recently, we've actually been better against guys who run than guys who throw in the last three.

00:36:02
Speaker 2: To four years.

00:36:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's kind of an old Kentucky football problem. The Stoops has moved past that, I mean, and he's put This current team has put two of the best quarterbacks in the country, have made them absolutely flustered in Beck and Dart. So good as Vandy is a QB, I'm hoping I'm hopeful Kentucky's defense can kind of put him in the same situation. Same with Nico too. I'm not afraid of him anymore.

00:36:23
Speaker 4: It certainly means that now the combination of usually when we play Vandy, I feel like it's always a noon game. Now it's a night game. You're gonna have all day to get ready. It is to me this weekend is the best. I mean, if you're drawing up a Lexington weekend, you're drawing this weekend up with all the stuff going on with Keenland going on, perfect fall weather, you know, drive through the mountains to get here. Unfortunately, the time of year that the leaves change keeps getting later and later, but.

00:36:52
Speaker 2: You still could probably get a little of that.

00:36:54
Speaker 4: You get Keenland, you get the big Blue madness on Friday, you get this game. Tucky plays Texas top ten team in volleyball. This is the Lexington weekend, and I think that will help us have the atmosphere there against Man.

00:37:07
Speaker 2: And it looks like the weather's gonna be perfect again. Another great weekend.

00:37:10
Speaker 6: So it is, and I think our crowd will be show up and be loud and proud for this game. Regardless if it's Vanderbilt, it's still a huge game for Kentucky and the program.

00:37:18
Speaker 4: Get You have to win this one. You have to, Yes, you do have to win. But let's talk about now, how again things have set up. You got Vandy. We'll find out the Florida game time later today will either be three thirty or seven thirty there in Florida. In two weeks, then we'll have Auburn here. I didn't realize that the Louisville game is a guaranteed afternoon or night game.

00:37:41
Speaker 2: Did you know that?

00:37:43
Speaker 4: No, it's not. It's a flex game, but it's not at noon. So the only noon game we have left is Murray State. Everything else is guaranteed to be either afternoon or evening, so we're gonna get atmospheres for all those games. Tennessee looks mortal now maybe, wouldn't you agree?

00:38:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, they were the team that I think I was scared of the most between them and Texas because they where they play. But after watching what Arkansas did to them slow them down a little bit, what Kentucky's defense did to oh miss slow them down, I feel good about the camp Missouri lost.

00:38:14
Speaker 4: Remember I was saying, if you wanted to have a scenario where we could do something, we need Missouri to take some losses because their schedule is good this year, so they don't play a lot of the hard teams Missouri. Now we lost to Texas, A and M. They lost in one of those ways drew where it's hard to overcome, where you absolutely get pounded.

00:38:30
Speaker 2: So that's good for us too.

00:38:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, they got whooped, really Tennessee. I thought Nico is gonna be the best thing. Ever, turns out they were picking on some of their opponents early. Yeah, and he's only a red shirt freshman. He's gonna get better and he'll still be good. But I don't have the concerns I did right now because he did not look the part in that game or at Oklahoma State before that.

00:38:51
Speaker 4: So well, it's switch to Sunday real quick. The Bengals. Yeah, what kind of loss was that for the Bengals?

00:38:59
Speaker 2: Again? I mean what first of.

00:39:01
Speaker 4: He they just decide to play for a fifty two yard field goal?

00:39:06
Speaker 2: What's that?

00:39:07
Speaker 5: I couldn't believe when I was watching that. I don't really care. I mean I actually had money on the Bengals, so I cared a little. But if I'm a true fan, I'm thinking, what the heck is Zach Taylor doing? And do I even want this guy? That was a horrible decision.

00:39:18
Speaker 4: That was a horrible decision, Like how do you how do you say fifty two yards? And the reason you don't do that is exactly what happened. One little mistake, you know, it was.

00:39:30
Speaker 5: Third and seven not third and fifteen, and they just kind of played to get on the hash mark.

00:39:34
Speaker 4: The other thing is, if you're playing for a field goal, there's a decent argument that on third down you do it okay, just so that if that happens, he could have fallen on it and done it again. Yeah, right, if you're just gonna be playing for a field goal anyway, which I don't.

00:39:50
Speaker 2: Think you should do. I mean, what did they think.

00:39:52
Speaker 4: I mean, they were giving Lamar the ball with a minute and thirty seconds.

00:39:56
Speaker 2: Even if they had kicked the.

00:39:57
Speaker 4: Field goal, he still would have had plenty time to get down the field. I just don't understand the thought process.

00:40:04
Speaker 5: And their offense had been doing whatever they wanted. That was a shootout both ways, and to have a third and seven and say, no, we're fine, We're just gonna try this fifty three yard field goal. The announcer even acknowledges a little win behind him, but enough win that I would have tried to get a first down and keep moving the ball.

00:40:18
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna say.

00:40:19
Speaker 6: Baltimore's defense couldn't stop him, so why did they kind of, you know, not, just keep attacking, keep attacking.

00:40:25
Speaker 4: Lamar is ridiculous, by the way. I mean, Lamar had a couple plays that were like, are you kidding me?

00:40:32
Speaker 6: If they fumbled the snap, he scooped a snap and somehow spun out of a defensive grasp, and then if he's fallen out of bounds, throws the ball in the back of the end zone for a touchdown.

00:40:40
Speaker 2: That was unbelieve that. That's one of the best plays I've ever amen.

00:40:44
Speaker 4: Now he did fumble it, just like he did against us, like he does have that Well he might, he might fumble it down the stretch, But I like him so much it saddens me. Yeah, because he's a Louisville.

00:40:57
Speaker 2: Guy and I shouldn't like him at all, but I can't open.

00:41:00
Speaker 6: He's too good. He's so fun to watch.

00:41:02
Speaker 4: He's so fun to watch, and there's nobody like him in a in a in a sport where there are athletes galore at every.

00:41:10
Speaker 2: Position, he's the best. Yeah, and that makes him fascinating to watch.

00:41:14
Speaker 5: To me, he's very good. I still hate him, and he has fumble problems, but that play where he stiff armed the defender and threw the touchdown, Yeah, there's one person.

00:41:23
Speaker 4: Dealing Ham's like that too in terms of you just can't take your eyes off of him in some ways.

00:41:27
Speaker 2: Hey, all right, we will take your calls now next hour.

00:41:29
Speaker 4: If I'm nine twenty two eighty seven, says Kentucky Sports Radio
