2024-09-09- KSR - Hour 2

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

00:00:06
Speaker 2: What a back our number two Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:00:08
Speaker 3: If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, absolutely beautiful day here in Lexington.

00:00:13
Speaker 2: Good hoodie shorts weather, It's Monday.

00:00:16
Speaker 3: Come on out to KOs bargirl if you like Monday Night Football, Tonight Jets and forty nine Ers. I think it was last year on Monday Night Football, Aaron Rodgers got hurt four seconds into the game. I hope that doesn't happen again. But uh, let's talk just a second before we get back to UK. The KSR Survivor League basically got cut in half, so.

00:00:36
Speaker 2: That's gonna make it easier for me.

00:00:38
Speaker 3: Half the essentially twenty one people picked the Bengals.

00:00:42
Speaker 2: Including me, including.

00:00:44
Speaker 1: Shannon out takes a lot Cincinnati.

00:00:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, Shannon.

00:00:48
Speaker 1: And you told me they were going to be good this year too.

00:00:51
Speaker 2: They were first, So don't put this on me. You are a grown me. Any team you won. If you picked the Bengals, just as I.

00:00:59
Speaker 1: A is a you can't pick them. They're gonna be too good this year.

00:01:02
Speaker 2: Now they're not.

00:01:03
Speaker 3: They lose home to maybe the worst team in the league, New England, so they're out.

00:01:07
Speaker 2: That knock twenty one people.

00:01:09
Speaker 4: Wow twenty one and.

00:01:10
Speaker 3: Then uh uh the Falcons loss, which knocked Max out. And then the Titans loss, which not Dicky lions out. I thought the tick the Titan, but why, I don't understand why, Dicky line. So we got twenty uh seven of the fifty left. Some shout shout out to some bold picks. Cash Flow and Richie Farmer had the Bears. I thought that was kind of a bold picking Week one, Yeah.

00:01:38
Speaker 2: They got it. Peter Burn, well, a bunch of people had the Seahawks.

00:01:42
Speaker 4: Shout made the best pick.

00:01:44
Speaker 3: Willie cally Stein coming out and picking the Steelers on the road at the Falcons, Like that's a that's a gutsy picky.

00:01:51
Speaker 1: Some people that were trying to take to get out of this situation backfired, like.

00:01:58
Speaker 2: Oh no, now you gotta pick? Is that what you think? Will? It was like, I don't want to do that, man, I don't want to do.

00:02:02
Speaker 1: This every week. Me pick a team that's gonna lose for sure.

00:02:04
Speaker 2: Then of course Cash Daniel had the Texan.

00:02:07
Speaker 3: So so twenty seven people move on, but twenty three people myself and Shannon are out still Drew, Ryan, Billy, and Mario remain Mario had the Chargers. The only guy who had the Chargers he remains in as well.

00:02:21
Speaker 4: So you said, this week's got some tough games, though.

00:02:23
Speaker 3: This one, I don't know exactly who you would pick. I mean there are, uh, you know, the Chiefs play the Bengals if you believe the Bengals are going to be terrible, But there aren't a lot. It's hard to know who's there's not a consensus pick. Although I thought the Bengals were the consensus pick. It looked like the Bills were gonna lose two and we were gonna have like ten people left in the league. So thankfully that the Bengals were the biggest favorite eight points I saw. They wrecked pretty much every survival league in the country because most survivor leagues had half of their people pick at the Bengals yester day. Yeah, so I mean, here would be your choices. I think you got the Ravens play the Raiders, so you could pick the Ravens if you wanted.

00:03:00
Speaker 5: See a lot of I already have money. I won't give it to you in case there's injuries.

00:03:03
Speaker 2: A lot of the bad teams play each other each other.

00:03:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Giants, what maybe Eagles Falcons is one.

00:03:10
Speaker 3: You could do Packers, Colts, but you got Malik Willis starting.

00:03:13
Speaker 5: I'm taking the Lions against the Bucks. Bucks will cool off a lot. You're taking lines against them. Not my official pick in case there's any injuries or updates before the weekend.

00:03:21
Speaker 3: But the two biggest spreads are Cowboys six and a half on the Saint No, the biggest spread is Ravens Raiders. So if you're gonna do the one with the spreads, you would take the Ravens against the Raiders.

00:03:32
Speaker 4: Who did the Cowboys play?

00:03:33
Speaker 2: Cowboys play the Saints?

00:03:35
Speaker 4: Saints Let's scored a lot of points this weekend.

00:03:37
Speaker 3: So anyway, we'll see when we get closer. But twenty three of us already out, including me. Now I might have to keep track of this all year. Shit, I'm not even in it. I know right how quickly.

00:03:47
Speaker 2: Now had it out. I'm gonna do it like you do it.

00:03:51
Speaker 3: Well, I'm the only one that context all these people, I'm the only one with their phone them. That's true, So I like I have to I'm gonna have to uh to do it. The only person that seemed to play then then Kentucky was Will Levis.

00:04:03
Speaker 2: Yesterday. That was bad.

00:04:04
Speaker 3: Now thankfully it was against my Bears, but we won twenty four to seventeen. Didn't score an offensive touchdown.

00:04:09
Speaker 4: That's unusual.

00:04:10
Speaker 2: The Levis pick six was like awful, brutal. That was a brutal pick.

00:04:15
Speaker 5: He actually did that move earlier in the game and it didn't get picked off. But when he did it, I was like, why are you trying to throw it out of bounds? Side arm like that, just go down. And then fourth quarter he costing the game. Titans were up by one.

00:04:27
Speaker 2: They had it in hand.

00:04:28
Speaker 5: I mean, Caleb Williams wasn't moving the ball and on a third down just throws it straight to the dB trying to get it out of bounds as he's been pulled down.

00:04:35
Speaker 3: So I was excited Bears are back. I was playing the eight of the Super Bowl Shuffle. I wasn't there to feathers ruffle. We're just gonna be here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle.

00:04:45
Speaker 5: I did think Caleb Williams was celebrating way too hard. I'm not a sore loser. I actually thought the Bears would.

00:04:50
Speaker 3: First game, the number one overall quarterback, the number one pick in the draft, his first start since two thousand and three. He was They were oh and fifteen, so he broke that streak. That's a pretty good streak to break fifteen. And he goes and wins for the be the first one ninety three yards.

00:05:10
Speaker 2: Who won? Oh, you're just mad? It was your tead. My team beat your team, and Shandon he won't take it. Man, your team was gonna win, beat your day.

00:05:19
Speaker 1: After the Kentucky game, Ninety three yards sounds like a lot of passing yards.

00:05:22
Speaker 2: You could ca that to.

00:05:23
Speaker 1: Thirty that's a lot.

00:05:24
Speaker 3: That's three times as many passing yards as Brockmander griss.

00:05:29
Speaker 2: I'm not mad at all.

00:05:29
Speaker 5: Will was very disappointed. That wasn't just that interception he had Calvin Ridley on one play broke free. Will throws it out of bounds. He overthrew another open receiver. It was a bad, bad Levis day.

00:05:39
Speaker 3: So it's nice that I I mean, I was watching all the Super Bowl shuffle eighty five stuff. Uh, my name is Fridge. I'm a rookie.

00:05:47
Speaker 2: I may be large, but I'm no dumb cookie.

00:05:51
Speaker 4: Great lyrics song, what is it the best?

00:05:54
Speaker 2: You've seen me?

00:05:55
Speaker 3: Uh uh, you've seen me tackle, You've seen me run, you've seen me something when we kick and pick or what I'm gonna get this? Okay, He's like, you see me tackle, you've seen me run. When I kick can pass, we'll have more fun.

00:06:10
Speaker 4: It's target explained how popular that was every It was everywhere during nineteen eighty five.

00:06:15
Speaker 3: I could, I could do all the bursts. I'm not going to, but if I needed to, I could.

00:06:21
Speaker 5: My biggest hot take from NFL Sunday maybe worse than Levis tom Brady.

00:06:27
Speaker 2: Tom brady whole game. And I'm not say he was gonna be terrible. I knew he was gonna be terrible. He I watched every snap. When are we.

00:06:35
Speaker 3: Gonna learn that people just because someone's good at one thing and handsome doesn't mean they're good at everything.

00:06:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think he had to go through and call any like you know, mock games before to get that job out there.

00:06:44
Speaker 2: There were like that. Sometimes there were like twenty seconds of silence. He wouldn't speak. That was the thing.

00:06:49
Speaker 5: It's like he didn't know when it was his turn. And you're like this is normally when the analysts would be saying so.

00:06:54
Speaker 2: He would it would just be silent.

00:06:55
Speaker 3: He was awful and I knew he was gonna be awful, and Greg Olsen is good.

00:07:00
Speaker 2: They got rid of the guy that was good to put in a guy with.

00:07:02
Speaker 3: No personality, like it doesn't matter that he's Tom Brady if he doesn't speak.

00:07:07
Speaker 1: He found something that Tom Brady is not good at yet.

00:07:10
Speaker 3: Yes, and because you know, I didn't like the commed the roast, because he was good at that.

00:07:14
Speaker 2: I wanted him to be bad at him.

00:07:15
Speaker 3: He was good at well this, He's not good at Brian at least from what I contemp man.

00:07:20
Speaker 4: He got roasted too. I mean it was all over social media. He was getting roast because he wasn't good. No, not good at all.

00:07:27
Speaker 2: Go one more week. That was his first one.

00:07:29
Speaker 5: But if he just doesn't talk again, I really think they should give Greg Olsen his job back.

00:07:33
Speaker 2: They should.

00:07:34
Speaker 5: He just wasn't saying anything, and when he said something, it wasn't even know you want Tom Brady to break it down, really get into the mud.

00:07:40
Speaker 2: He didn't really offer much. So one more thing.

00:07:42
Speaker 3: So while we're why I'm doing the pregame show or the ESPN show before the one o'clock games. A lot of news broke while we were on Dak Prescott re signs Jamar Chase.

00:07:52
Speaker 2: There was something else.

00:07:53
Speaker 3: Oh, they named Justin Fields starter and then Tyreek Hill gets arrested, so that video breaks.

00:07:59
Speaker 2: While we're on on the shop.

00:08:00
Speaker 3: While we're on the air, and I'm having to figure out like I'm seeing it for the first time and trying to not say something wrong but also tell people what's going on.

00:08:12
Speaker 2: And then they break into the show and.

00:08:13
Speaker 3: They go, uugh, we have sound of Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhouse. He has a statement and I haven't heard the statement yet, Shannon, Right, So they're just playing in what they call raw on the air, right, So they play the statement and it starts with, first of all, I've always thought Drew Rosenhouse, that's you know who he is. He's like the famous I've always thought he was like the sleaziest dud.

00:08:35
Speaker 2: That's who Jerry maguire was based on. Oh it was, Yes, I've always thought he was like the sleaziest dude.

00:08:41
Speaker 3: And he gets up there and he goes, first of all, I just want everybody to initially know Tyreek Hill is fine, and he like says all this stuff, and then you know it was a decent statement. And then he ends it with did you hear the end of his statement? And it was so ridiculous I laughed out loud. I couldn't and I spent the rest of the time making fun of it. He goes, you know, Tyreek and I oftentimes have talked about how much respect he has for law enforcement. He said, as a matter of fact, as he was being arrested, he told the police officer he wanted to be a policeman when he retires. And when he said that, Shannon I was like, no, he didn't, that did not happen.

00:09:21
Speaker 2: You are never gonna convince me that.

00:09:23
Speaker 3: While Tyreek Hill was being taken down to the ground by the police, he goes, Sir, I want to be a policeman when I grow.

00:09:30
Speaker 1: Up, fast, down on the side, face down on.

00:09:32
Speaker 3: The ground where they've stopped him outside of the stadium. That's the moment he wants to talk about how he wants to be a policeman. I'm like, don't lie to me, Drew Rosenhouse, that is a lie. I also don't believe that you and he were just sitting around and he was like, you know what, Drew, I have a lot of respect for law enforcement. He never said that to you, ansell I end up saying that on ESPN, and then Myron goes is he wants to think. Tyreek's in third grade saying I want to be a policeman when.

00:09:59
Speaker 2: I grow up.

00:10:01
Speaker 3: It was ridiculous, and like that became all we talked about because it was such a stupid thing. There's no way Drew, when he was on the ground, he was talking about how he wants to be a policeman.

00:10:09
Speaker 5: I couldn't believe he wants to be a policeman, even if he thought it. He has one hundred and twenty million dollar contract. He's done playing football. I hope he wants to do nothing.

00:10:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's he gonna go to police school? When it's overstop it light.

00:10:21
Speaker 5: Drew Rosenhaus and Tyree Hill sitting over the contracts Okay, you give me this that I need to have this big year, but also let's back the blue. Let's make sure we're both on the same page.

00:10:31
Speaker 2: Shinning. That did not happen. Did not happen. Why did he have to lie?

00:10:35
Speaker 1: Do not believe it, even like it, Drew said, even in that moment, you're not gonna say that. I mean, if you thought about maybe being a police officer after that, I think that would change your mind as you're getting arrested.

00:10:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, Normally on ESPN when there's breaking news, they don't like you to just give your raw, unadulterated take.

00:10:50
Speaker 2: But I couldn't help it. I just can't.

00:10:52
Speaker 3: They played it again. I was like, that didn't happen. He's got to stop saying that that did not happen.

00:10:56
Speaker 1: I did like his touchdown celebration though, where he faked like he was getting arrested.

00:10:59
Speaker 2: I didn't see it.

00:11:03
Speaker 1: A touchdown, puts his arms behind his back, another player comes up, throws the cuffs on him.

00:11:07
Speaker 2: Now that it's good.

00:11:09
Speaker 5: Jeff Darlington been on the Scheffler beat and the Tyreek Hill beat.

00:11:13
Speaker 2: He's when I went to ESPN, he's the one that.

00:11:15
Speaker 3: Let me be clear, I'm gonna say the same thing about Tyreek Hill I said about Scheffler.

00:11:20
Speaker 2: I was very quick at Scheffler to go. We don't really know what happened.

00:11:22
Speaker 3: We don't know what their interaction was, so I'm gonna you know later it came out the cop overreacted. My initial inclination is that the same thing happened here, But I don't know. I wasn't there. But I will say this if I'm a cop, I feel like I could say this confidently. If I am outside of the Dolphins stadium and it is three hours before the game and I see a Lamborghini Shannon driving, I'm probably gonna think there's a chance it's a player.

00:11:53
Speaker 2: Right, There's a chance.

00:11:54
Speaker 3: There's a good chance it's a player, And maybe I take a step back and go whatever traffic violation he committed, maybe I just let this one.

00:12:06
Speaker 1: Roll unless it was really bad.

00:12:08
Speaker 2: But what could it have been there? It was a parking lot, could he run over a cone?

00:12:15
Speaker 3: What could it possibly have been that would have been worth pulling him over?

00:12:19
Speaker 1: Reckless driving is what they said, right, So pull him over and pulling him out of his car and putt him.

00:12:23
Speaker 3: Face down on the ground by the way while he's going I want to be a cop.

00:12:28
Speaker 1: Getting arrested. I always wanted to do that.

00:12:30
Speaker 5: They just wanted also handcuffed one of his teammates who drove by and got out to see what was going on.

00:12:36
Speaker 3: This is gonna end up being the exact same as the Scheffler thing. There's gonna be one dude, they already put somebody on leaf. Yeah, they've already put somebody on leaf, which is not a good sign as well. So anyway, but I know Tyreek Hill did not say he wanted to be a cop. Tell me about Stocktor Mortgage.

00:12:50

00:13:21
Speaker 2: That's right.

00:13:26
Speaker 3: Call me sweetness, and I like to dance. Running the ball is like making romance. We had a gold sense trained in camp to give Chicago a Super Bowl champ. Now we're not doing this because we're greedy. The Bears are doing this to feed the needy. We're doing to help here looking for trouble. We just came here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle.

00:13:44
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. That was impressive.

00:13:46
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear it on podcasts.

00:13:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, podcast is gonna be great with no music behind.

00:13:50
Speaker 3: It actually might sound better because there's probably a slight delay live, so it'll sound better actually on podcasts.

00:13:56
Speaker 2: Then it will live. It was impressive. Yeah, yes, with no words right.

00:14:01
Speaker 4: No, sh nope, knocked it out, got it straight from memories.

00:14:04
Speaker 2: At least are playing it.

00:14:05
Speaker 1: Rick said, I'm sure watching the video, it's so absurd.

00:14:08
Speaker 2: It's so ridiculous. Look at Shannon while you're watching it.

00:14:11
Speaker 3: Look at number four, the white guy in the front, and look at what a horrible dancer he is, and when when they dance, he is so far off the bland. Yeah, I mean it is absolutely amazing, all right, Rick says Matt After the game, Tyreek Hill said in a press conference he wanted to be a policeman. I don't care if he said it in a press conference. First of all, that was seven hours after it happened. You think maybe Drew Rosenhouse came out and said, hey, when you go to the press conference, say you wouldn't be you're telling me you believe what he was being thrown to the ground. He said, I want to be a policeman.

00:14:42
Speaker 2: He didn't say that. He didn't.

00:14:44
Speaker 5: I bet he's saying, hey, I'm a wide receiver for the Dolphins.

00:14:47
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what.

00:14:48
Speaker 1: I said, a police officer. Unfortunately, this football thing worked out for me, and I'm a football player now.

00:14:54
Speaker 2: I mean, no offense.

00:14:56
Speaker 3: But how gullible do you have to be to see a postgame press conference inner and think that that means he did it when he was being arrested.

00:15:04
Speaker 2: Stop it.

00:15:05
Speaker 4: Dregian House did probably tell him, hey, say this, and of course he did because.

00:15:10
Speaker 3: He had said it in the pregame, and he was like, make sure you go out there and say you wanted to be a policeman.

00:15:13
Speaker 2: It'll help you, it'll help you. Who's next, shit, Alex, Alex? Go ahead, Alex, Hey guys, first time, who are back to the football thing?

00:15:25
Speaker 6: Matt I thought you had a good call during the postgame show that made a good point about the fact.

00:15:31
Speaker 2: That Stoops used to build these.

00:15:33
Speaker 6: Teams around his philosophy. Yes, and I feel like the only chance we've got offensively the rest of this year is to build the philosophy around the team. They just don't have the strength inside. They got to do something quicker on offense and not continue the pro slow style.

00:15:50
Speaker 3: I think it's a great The caller on the post game show, I appreciate the call made a great point.

00:15:54
Speaker 2: He basically said.

00:15:55
Speaker 3: Stoops has recruited to a philosophy and plays a style to a philosophy, but for whatever reason, they don't have that now, and that they've spent their inile money on guys that are not consistent with his philosophy. Like they haven't spent their inil money on offensive linemen.

00:16:10
Speaker 2: They've spent it on receivers, et cetera.

00:16:12
Speaker 3: And that's fine, but now they need to like design an offense for the talent they have, not the talent Stoops wishes they had.

00:16:19
Speaker 2: Is that fair?

00:16:21
Speaker 4: I say, for what we've seen so far, it's it's fair. You know, they completely abandoned late in the game. They went to two tight ends and just like Drew said, ran the ball eleven times in a row. Barry On Brown didn't catch a pass. First time in his UK career. He didn't catch a pass.

00:16:35
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

00:16:35
Speaker 5: I have my stat of the day. Dan Key had a thirty two yard reception and Brock Vandergriff had thirty total yards.

00:16:44
Speaker 2: He had more yards on that reception than the end and the game. That's why. See. I mean, at this.

00:16:49
Speaker 3: Point, you're probably gonna have to play it, which I don't know what you can do. Do you just play like Mike Leach style quick? Do you try to just run and win thirteen to ten? I don't know. I mean I think I your offensive line, here's what you can't do. You can't drop back, what is it five three? You know, five step drop or whatever under center and pass. This offensive line is not gonna If you're gonna pass, you're gonna have to go shotgun and just go. They do not have time to play a pro style passing game because we won't.

00:17:28
Speaker 2: He won't stay upright.

00:17:30
Speaker 5: It's a first time starter in the SEC and you've got him scrambling, scrambling for his life. As soon as he drops back or he did in the last game. I think the lines they have to be better than they were last Saturday. They they just had five five, But how do you create a five? But just how good are they? It doesn't seem like it's very good at all.

00:17:48
Speaker 1: There's some things you can correct from week to week. I don't know how you correct an offensive line.

00:17:53
Speaker 3: I don't I don't really have it, or I don't. If you can't block, you can't block. I mean not again, I'm not an expert. Maybe it's just what the I said. And they're missing where they're supposed to be. But a lot of times it just looked like they got beat and all.

00:18:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, by the way, Georgia comes in next week, they don't have a good you think South Carolina's good?

00:18:10
Speaker 5: Georgia play two top ten teams in three weeks, one on the road.

00:18:14
Speaker 2: They don't produce good offensive line or.

00:18:16
Speaker 5: Defensive Tennessee's gonna be a top ten team soon.

00:18:20
Speaker 2: Who's next, Mike, Mike? What's up? Mike?

00:18:24
Speaker 5: Hey, Matt, I took your advice of South Carolina being a good game to take a first time person two Yes.

00:18:34
Speaker 7: No, no, I took I took.

00:18:37
Speaker 4: I took my girl up there and she broke up.

00:18:40
Speaker 3: With me, and she doesn't see you ever again. I understand. I thought it would be a good first game. Clearly that was not correct. Appreciate the call, Yeah, I mean, you know, we talked about this, unfade this. I kind of thought South Carolina was a smart bet, not necessarily to win, but to cover because they hadn't played well in the first week. They Kentucky might be overvalued, and then that ended up that ended up happening.

00:19:05
Speaker 2: It wouldn't have been fine.

00:19:06
Speaker 5: If not fine, but you can live with if Kentucky loses. You know, it's an SEC team, But six offensive points when you're a ten point offer in.

00:19:12
Speaker 2: The game, it's just awful. Who's that? Justin? Justin? Go ahead, justin. I got a couple of things.

00:19:18
Speaker 8: The first thing I saw, we had what was it, forty four passing yards and we had sixty three yards and penalties. When you have more yards and penalties and passing yards, there is a full on malfunction.

00:19:30
Speaker 2: And then all.

00:19:32
Speaker 8: Off season I kept saying that had hopes that this team could win eight, possibly nine, and I kept receiving a lot of flak for it. And then they put on that performance. I was working that game. All the fans who was yelling to Stoops pony up, telling the.

00:19:48
Speaker 2: Old line they were horrible.

00:19:50
Speaker 8: That worries me the players. The players turned around and looked at the fans. But honestly, as the players and as the coaches, can you be upset at the fans for saying that stuff?

00:19:58
Speaker 3: No, no, they can't. It could be fair and to be fair, and I appreciate the call. Stoops didn't do what Cal did and go after the fans. He didn't say anything about it. But when I heard that people were screaming pony up at him as he walked off, that's a bad side of where the pro. It reminds me of that again, the parallels of the SEC tournament down in Nashville, when people were yelling at step or at Cal as he walked off the court, and I thought, oh wow, this is like, like you know, the pony up comment was so dumb after we had gotten beat fifty one to six, and then we lost to Missouri the next week. If you'll remember that, I think that'll that's gonna be a hard one Rynd for him to overcome.

00:20:44
Speaker 4: There are so many parallels about Stoops and Cal. You know what, what if the season continues to go south, everybody's gonna say the Stoops Probaly should have taken that Texas A and M job With Cal Stoops to go south, he should have taken that UCLA job. You know, there's a lot of similar parallels in the lady's two coaching direct trajectories are going have gone.

00:21:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've never seen Stoops with this kind of pressure, especially where they're yelling at him as he's leaving the stadium on Saturday. And you know a lot of people, myself included, have wondered how much gas he still has left in him before the season even started. And if now it's Polinama fans yelling at him, just wonder the direction this is heading.

00:21:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's still ten games left and we have to keep saying that. I mean, this is the equivalent of when Kentucky lost in basketball at like Evane. Well, no, I mean this, I'm trying to think of last year. This is the equivalent of like, when what's a game we lost last year we shouldn't have lost? When we when Gonza gonzagabats or was that during February kenzagabeats.

00:21:43
Speaker 2: That was in January February. I was during the three in a row. The point is like, there's still a lot of yeah, and we might look different. That's right.

00:21:51
Speaker 3: We did lose to UNC Wilmington. Okay, so this is a little bit like the UNC Wilmington game last year. It makes it look desperate. It's hard to see how we turn around. It didn't turn around for col I don't know if it's gonna turn around. And but it's not over, right, Like it's not over.

00:22:14
Speaker 5: I don't think they will. But say they did pull off a big win you weren't considering. You call these a wash now, it's very unlikely.

00:22:20
Speaker 2: But yeah, if you.

00:22:21
Speaker 3: Were to somehow go to Old Miss and win, which I don't think is going to happen.

00:22:25
Speaker 2: But if you did, it would be a wash. Right, But you don't like unlike, But that's.

00:22:31
Speaker 3: Not what you want to be relying on in order to have a good season.

00:22:34
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

00:22:45
Speaker 2: Welcome back Turkey Sports Radio.

00:22:47
Speaker 3: If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. Let me give a shout out to Boyle County High School. Boyle County High School went up to Ohio beat a team there.

00:23:01
Speaker 4: What was the team, can't remember the name of it.

00:23:03
Speaker 3: I can't remember the team high school, but they were ranked number twelve in the country. It is believed to be the highest ranked team a Kentucky high school team has ever beaten.

00:23:13
Speaker 4: Wow, and they won by twenty one point. Yeah, it wasn't closed.

00:23:16
Speaker 3: Won by twenty one points. The announcers for that team were like, who are these guys? So congrats to Boyle County. Believed to be there's no official records, but to believe to be the highest ranked team that a Kentucky high school team has ever been.

00:23:30
Speaker 5: Saint Edward from Ohio. They've been dominating in Ohio.

00:23:33
Speaker 2: They're good.

00:23:34
Speaker 4: I saw them play the Leston Christian Academy in Bowling Green. They've got the Quizenberry and Brown their Johnson their other running back. But they've got these two Driver brothers. The sophomore Driver brother is a stud. He's a sophomore tight end. That's why I texted Vince. I said, Man, this Boyle County tight end is all he goes. I'm already all over.

00:23:52
Speaker 3: Him again, Shannon, probably something not to say on the show.

00:23:57
Speaker 1: You're blaming me now, I'm taking.

00:23:59
Speaker 3: It saying probably like the tips you're given on recruiting and the response is gotten back, or maybe things.

00:24:06
Speaker 2: Like you just keep to your sale. Okay, you know, I have a high school football question.

00:24:11
Speaker 5: Okay, Frederick Douglas, Ryan, Oh I do. I just assumed it was a win, so I didn't follow it. What what happened?

00:24:18
Speaker 4: Were a Manuel right pump manual?

00:24:21
Speaker 2: Yes? I thought they only had an academic team. That's it?

00:24:24
Speaker 4: You know, Well they were all there, The whole crowd was there.

00:24:27
Speaker 2: Is it?

00:24:28
Speaker 4: It was a rough weekend the living family. Douglas one on Friday night, UK one on Saturday night.

00:24:33
Speaker 2: We lost both those games, would I say one? Yeah, that's a big difference.

00:24:37
Speaker 4: Douglas lost on Friday night, u K lost on Saurday night, and then Devin Key the Broncos lost on Sunday.

00:24:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, Middlesborough zero and three? Are They lost to someplace called gate City, Virginia, which I didn't even know was a town.

00:24:50
Speaker 5: Wait, that's where we went for uh we ate there, that's where we had.

00:24:52
Speaker 2: Camel or well that's Mac mcclunkstown, isn't it.

00:24:55
Speaker 3: It is no wonder they produce all those athletes in Gate City, no wonder, all those exotics. And then uh, Kentucky obviously, but then the Bears beat your Titans.

00:25:05
Speaker 2: So i'll i'll, I'll take it with them. Who's next, Zach, Zach? Go ahead, Zach?

00:25:11
Speaker 9: Hey? Is this casts armed Matt Jones or is this MTV wraps and Mac Jones? I wasn't sure.

00:25:16
Speaker 2: I'm got yo MTV. I was good. I could do other verses.

00:25:22
Speaker 4: Let's say that.

00:25:24
Speaker 2: Shut up ahead, No, I'm just playing.

00:25:26
Speaker 9: But I just wanted to make two points about the game. And I never thought I would have to ask this question about Mark Stoops in the Kentucky offense. But have they forgot what a screenplay is?

00:25:38
Speaker 2: A lot? I mean this week and it didn't work, so I don't know that well.

00:25:42
Speaker 9: To be fair, though, when the team is barreling down as much South Carolina and they're always back there, maybe try to hit them with a couple, you know, throw them all balance a little. And and the only other point I wanted to make and I'm a Mark Stoops fan, but the only thing that I have seen consistently from one season to the next is that our teams are so undisciplined and we always have penalties at the worst time and then follow it up with another penalty, and I just I'm in a loss at this point.

00:26:11
Speaker 2: That's a fair I think that's definitely fair. I appreciate the call.

00:26:14
Speaker 3: The penalties were a disaster Saturday, and it seemed like they would happen at all full times.

00:26:18
Speaker 2: They were just a disaster.

00:26:19
Speaker 4: I think they had ten penalties in the second half alone. A lot of them were like just senseless penalties.

00:26:26
Speaker 3: You know, movement and well, we lined up our offensive lineman Minci lined up incorrectly two.

00:26:34
Speaker 4: Times in a row, get two plays back to back.

00:26:38
Speaker 5: We've dealt with penalties for stupid and he was our highest rated offensive line.

00:26:41
Speaker 2: In the rank for the record. Go ahead.

00:26:43
Speaker 5: But when Stupents really had it going, and in the earlier years in his era, you know, he was a big lunch pail guy. We were showing up to the fight. You might be a better team, but we're gonna be in it because we're gonna scrap. We're gonna clall, we're gonna work the hardest. The team that showed up Saturday did not have that mentality. I don't know if the culture has changed a little bit, but Stoops used to have his guys ready for this game, whether they were talented or not. The team that showed up Saturday was not ready at all.

00:27:07
Speaker 3: Somebody says, Matt, what about Gavin whims it? You know, I don't know.

00:27:15
Speaker 2: That's uh.

00:27:17
Speaker 3: I'm not ready to say Brock is the problem yet, but it might be the case that Gavin Whimsy could end up being better for the particular thing we need for this team, which is somebody getting out running, right.

00:27:29
Speaker 2: So I'm not I don't.

00:27:33
Speaker 3: Consider Saturday and indictment of brought Vandergriff yet.

00:27:38
Speaker 2: Let's see what happens.

00:27:40
Speaker 3: But then again, like are we gonna learn anything against Georgia or probably not, Like it's gonna be the same issue, So.

00:27:46
Speaker 5: Feeling it might just hurt his confidence even more if he has back to back games where he just can't get anything done because the line isn't protecting.

00:27:52
Speaker 4: Because that's that's something I've talked about. He did look to get tentative as the game went on, you know, and Gavin Least came in and showed it brought a different element to the game that we can use.

00:28:02
Speaker 3: Dude, there's now a video this looks like of one of the officers just kicking Tyreek Hill kicking him.

00:28:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just.

00:28:12
Speaker 5: That might be while they was leave pretty quickly. They didn't take him long to put the dude on lead yesterday.

00:28:17
Speaker 3: All the more reason he did not say I want to be a police officer as he was being kicked.

00:28:21
Speaker 2: That's a yeah, that's that's got to be the dude that was put on leave.

00:28:25
Speaker 4: Wow. Wow at a game fired.

00:28:28
Speaker 2: Who's next? Dan? Dan? Go ahead? Dan?

00:28:31
Speaker 10: Hey man? Dan from Rocky Mount. Well, I can say one thing is the UK fans won't feel as bad as a Notre Dame fan are this morning.

00:28:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what about Notre Dame losing it home?

00:28:44
Speaker 11: Uh?

00:28:45
Speaker 2: Only how about this stat?

00:28:47
Speaker 3: Only eleven times since like nineteen ninety five has a team been a twenty four point long favorite or more eleven times and lost.

00:29:00
Speaker 2: Three of them have been in the last four years Notre Dame.

00:29:03
Speaker 4: Wow, no kidding, isn't that crazy? It's crazy?

00:29:06
Speaker 2: But go ahead Dan?

00:29:08
Speaker 10: Yeah, anyway, I went to the game. I can't say anything else that hadn't been said. They just suck. Our kicking game did look pretty good, though. I think a punted well, and you know we made two field days.

00:29:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, though, I mean, I don't think the punter punted well. Let's look at go look at the difference in the punts South Carolina had versus US. I mean, they'd go their punts would go fifty five to fifty.

00:29:32
Speaker 2: Nine yards and ours go thirty nine.

00:29:36
Speaker 3: Like the thing about Barry, he had one really good one in the first half, but generally speaking he kicks at thirty nine yards every time, And like these guys were playing against these SEC punters are kicking it in the fifties. So we're losing ten yards every single time on punts.

00:29:55
Speaker 10: Like going forward, I think, you know, coach that's never had as much Christ is coming up. I think if we show up to the Georgia game, we go in beat Ohio and I think like this then said we could go in and beat Old Miss and then we'll forget about this game.

00:30:12
Speaker 3: But well, yeah, those are big ifs though, I mean, and I appreciate it, Dan, those are big ifs. If we show up and we beat them, and we beat them, and yeah.

00:30:22
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.

00:30:23
Speaker 3: We could play good against Georgia and lose by twenty one.

00:30:28
Speaker 4: Yes, right, highly possible.

00:30:32
Speaker 3: So it's hard to know what success drew because again, you could play well and still get destroyed.

00:30:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you needed to go into that game two and oh. So if you do even play well that lost, you can still have a little bit of a silver line in lining in it, like, oh, we competed. No one's gonna want to hear that. With the situation it is now whatever that scoring is up being, unless you play them too like a field goal, it's gonna be hard to get that energy back.

00:30:55
Speaker 3: Before then it doesn't matter what you do against Ohio, no one's gonna care.

00:31:00
Speaker 2: No, that's not gonna make anybody supposed to win that one.

00:31:03
Speaker 3: So then basically, really the first chance he had the team has to really show itself in some ways is against Old Miss on the road. I mean, just for the record, the rest of our schedule in the new AP pole, we play four of the top seven.

00:31:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, three of them on the road at Ole Miss, at Tennessee, at Texas.

00:31:23
Speaker 5: Louisville will eventually be ring Tatsuo.

00:31:26
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about Louisville. I mean, we're gonna beat them anyway. That's gonna be. The only silver line is we're still gonna beat them.

00:31:33
Speaker 4: That's what happened last year.

00:31:34
Speaker 5: Ole Miss is only averaging like sixty something points through.

00:31:37
Speaker 2: Two weeks a game. Yeah, only, Yeah, we'll hold him under that. Who's next, Richard, Richard, Go ahead, Richard.

00:31:48
Speaker 12: Good morning, ks R. Thank you for taking a call.

00:31:53
Speaker 11: I just have a general question or comment and would be interested in hearing what you have to say in Western can I live in the Hopkinsville area and I'm a subscriber.

00:32:04
Speaker 12: To direct TV and ATTV Verse, and we are.

00:32:09
Speaker 11: Currently blacked out from all games on ABC, ESPN and the SEC network correct, so we didn't get to see any of the good games this weekend.

00:32:21
Speaker 12: I'd just be interested to hear your comment about that.

00:32:23
Speaker 2: And well, I mean it's terrible. Help please do Yeah, it's terrible.

00:32:27
Speaker 3: I mean I'm the same way, uh at one at my place in Louisville. I'm gonna finally get rid of it and just do YouTube TV everywhere. But it's the same way we had that issue here at the bar. This was a scramble all weekend because we didn't have the ESPN channels. We had to bring some new spectrum things in to try to get to work. And it was the television situation here was. I give credit to the people that worked on it, Jamie and Huvey and others, like they worked their tails off because every three hours it was a new situation because of all that, But it's awful for the people. I will say this, sir, I expect them to try to get it worked out by Monday night football tonight. If they don't, then that means they're in it for the long haul, and I would think.

00:33:09
Speaker 2: About switching to something else. To be honest with.

00:33:12
Speaker 11: You, Well if of course we have a contract with direct TV that links us.

00:33:16
Speaker 12: To a year.

00:33:17
Speaker 11: Yeah, but it sounds to me like, you know, they promised ESPN, they promised these sports channels, and to me, that means they're in a breach of contract.

00:33:26
Speaker 2: And well that's a whole other thing. Yeah, but lawsuits, I mean, you have to pay for the lawyer and all that. But I appreciate the call.

00:33:33
Speaker 3: I would say, I think I think they'll probably do it tonight because I don't think they're gonna want to miss the first Monday night football game. But if they go through tonight and it's not done, then I start to think Ryan, it may who knows.

00:33:49
Speaker 4: See, I thought it would be done before yesterday's Week one NFL if I don't work it out tomorrow morning yesterday morning, but there.

00:33:56
Speaker 3: Were no big games on ESPN yesterday, and there are there were no NFL games.

00:34:01
Speaker 2: On ESPN yesterday.

00:34:03
Speaker 3: So like, tonight's the night. Tonight's the night, and we'll see what they end up doing.

00:34:09
Speaker 5: Maybe after they aired Kentucky's game on ABC, they're like, we just shouldn't show football at all after that performance.

00:34:14
Speaker 13: Uh, tds, tuddies, tuddies, never heard I've never heard of you not follow the trends.

00:34:25

They had huge deals on that this weekend. Uh, if you're ready to go, you can bet first players score touchdown and it's over very quickly.

Speaker 2: UH sports book. We're gonna have a night out in Bowling Green Wednesday night.

00:36:25
Speaker 3: Billy has said he wants to take us to his old college bar, which makes me think, like, I think Billy's gonna think he's gonna walk in there and it's gonna be like, oh here comes Billy. Billy's back, Shannon, Are you excited to see Billy's former hangouts at Western?

00:36:40
Speaker 1: I didn't know that we were going there, but I don't think that any of the people that went there when Billy was in school were gonna be there still.

00:36:45
Speaker 2: I think he's forgotten that.

00:36:46
Speaker 3: I think Billy thinks he's gonna walk right in and it's gonna be nine years ago and then everyone's still gonna be there. But I don't think he realizes they've graduated and so they're not gonna be there.

00:36:57
Speaker 2: He keeps mentioning this bar crawl.

00:36:59
Speaker 5: But the times I've consumed alcohol with Billy, it was a very quick fifteen minutes. Maybe we're doing a tour of waters at all these places.

00:37:08
Speaker 2: So then and then this weekend, I gotta go to Green Bay. Yeah.

00:37:12
Speaker 4: So here's the thing.

Speaker 3: If you are a Kentucky fan that is going to be at the Green Bay game Sunday, let me know. I'd love to have you come by and see me and Myron. We start our NFL Kickoff tour. We're going to Dallas in October, Chicago in November, and then Cincinnati in December. But we open up in Green Bay. Here's the thing. We have to go to a party. Shannon at the head of ESPN Radio now lives in Milwaukee. H So we have to go to a party in Milwaukee at the guy's house, and they've specifically invited me and Myron, and I'm bringing Mario.

Speaker 2: Ken? Go ahead? Ken? Hey?

00:39:04
Speaker 7: Good morning guys. Quick thoughts on the current football situation, and first of all, I'm a fan of stoops, but I think the one missing ingredient is discipline. You saw Clayburne, you saw Rich Brooks. They had disciplined teams. They didn't beat themselves. I like for somebody to do some research. How many games in the stoopid era have we really been beat and how many did we beat ourselves.

00:39:34
Speaker 3: I think it's a fair point about discipline, especially in the last couple of years, due this team has had I don't know what the numbers are, but it has led the sec and penalties the last few years, and I think discipline has been a big part of it.

00:39:47
Speaker 5: You've mentioned that arrogance they had that I don't really see that this year. I don't a lot of tawning and a lot of flexing when you're not even winning on the scoreboard at certain moments.

00:39:55
Speaker 2: That's not the case this year.

00:39:56
Speaker 5: But the penalties were a huge problem on last Saturday, no doubt.

00:40:00
Speaker 2: Who's next.

00:40:01
Speaker 1: Let's go to Sean from Austin.

00:40:03
Speaker 2: Sean, this will be you'll be got about a minute. Yeah, it'll be quick. I was listening when I was doing some yard work out there. I love I still love Kentucky even though I'm Austin.

00:40:13
Speaker 5: But guys, I'm just feeling I mean, stick a fork in them.

00:40:16
Speaker 2: They're done well.

00:40:18
Speaker 3: I hope that's not true, but I kind of wonder if it is. You don't want to say that two games in the season. I appreciate the call, but it's hard. What do you if you were Mark real quick, what would you say tonight?

00:40:31
Speaker 4: I would say that I'm mad, this is unacceptable and we're going to change it around. And that's what I want to hear from my coach. I want him to say this is not the way Kentucky football is going to be the rest of the season.

00:40:40
Speaker 2: What would you say?

00:40:41
Speaker 5: I would definitely show some emotion, very angry. I would probably even call out Wolford by name. I would normally do that. I mean the line, it's the story. It made everything else bad around it. So the line needs to be a big part of a discussion how they're going to fix it, how it's even as bad as it was.

00:40:59
Speaker 2: I need to hear some answers.

00:41:00
Speaker 3: It's pretty awful, and he needs to say something positive tonight because you know, next Saturday, I think we'll be I think that stadium will still have people there next Saturday. But I worry about the next one. That's the Ohio game.

00:41:12
Speaker 4: That's the one noon court.

00:41:15
Speaker 3: Court Physical Therapy Court dot com. That's KRT dot com. If you need physical therapy, no reason to be in pain, call court KRT dot com. There's one near you. Seventy locations. My man's in Somerset. I bet there's a court near you. You guys, Lexington Court. There these guys, Louisville Court KRT dot com. It is Court Physical Therapy, folks. Saturday was maybe the low point of the Stoops era. Hopefully it bounces back, or is it the start of the permanent decline. I guess we're gonna find out over these next few weeks. Thank you all very much for listening. We'll be back here. We are here tomorrow and Wednesday, Bowlingering Thursday, country Boy.
