Speaker 2: Water Back It is number two Kentucky Sports Radio here in Vail, Colorado. I'm standing up because I'm excited. Snow is on the ground. We are getting in the car. We're going to Salt Lake City after this is over salt Lake City from the Book of Mormon. Well, I don't think that's what it's from. It existed before the Book of Mormon, but it is. It is one of America's most beautiful cities. And we'll be there tomorrow for our show, for our show Friday. So if you're in Salt Lake, send me a message and we can. We'll tell you where we're gonna be, so you can you can find this where I just booked a hotel a few minutes ago. A lot of people are writing, let me read a couple before we get to this other thing. One person writes, Matt, everyone online says you're Stoops's boy. If you are Stoops's boy, I bet you're not after that last few segments. Well, I like Mark as a person, Vince, my friend, I like Mark as a person, but you gotta call it as it is. Greg Doyle told me many years ago when I first started. Greg said, don't become friends with anybody, because you can't do your job if you do it. But you can't choose who your friends are. Like it just happens. Then Dwayne, Peevee and Vince are my friends. They'll be my friends if they go oh to twelve. But you know, you also got I got a job to do.

00:02:12
Speaker 3: And uh.

00:02:13
Speaker 2: I remember one time I was talking about in the early years of me talking about Cal Right and I criticized Cal. This was the COVID year and somebody goes, Matt, you know if you keep doing that, Cal may not like it, and I said, well, you know, I hate that. He said he's gonna think you you betrayed him. And I said, well, yeah, I hate that. And then another guy goes, but you know, if Cal needed to cut you off for himself, he would, and I went, yeah, he would. I mean, now, I don't think Vince would do that, and I don't think Dwayne would do that, which is why they're my friends. But you also have to remember, like these are not like these people here. You are my friends, but they're not. And I have a job to do.

00:02:58
Speaker 4: The thing people got to realize you now, and that is you're a cowboy. You shoot from the hit all.

00:03:02
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that. You and Drew all day. Yesterday we were walking around Vail and Drew said I think I want to get a cowboy hat.

00:03:11
Speaker 5: I've been thinking about this hat for two years, been waiting to place. His name was what Chemo Sabe.

00:03:15
Speaker 6: Yes, they only have a few locations.

00:03:17
Speaker 2: Chemo Sabe, which apparently is a very overpriced cowboy hat. But you know what, that's okay. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills apparently shopped there, and if it's good enough for them, shin, it's good enough for it. So we walked in there. When you want to talk about sticker shit, sticker price shock, I suffered it the one first had I picked up. I was like, this hat looks good. I'd like to buy this hat. I could see myself in this hat two thousand dollars. I was like, I can't see myself in that hat.

00:03:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, you forgot where you were.

00:03:49
Speaker 2: That hat is a little bit more hat than col that I have. Okay, so we're gonna not gonna do that hat. But then Drew is like, I'm buying a hat, and he puts on a hat, and see how they get you? All right, this is how they get you. He puts on that hat, and there was a woman working there and the dude that looked cooler than me, and the two of them were like telling Drew, man, you look good in that hat. Now, I know that's I know that's what they say. I know that's what they get.

00:04:14
Speaker 3: Like.

00:04:15
Speaker 2: They just say that he did, man, you look good in that hat. And I can see Drew's face going. I mean they say I look good in that hat.

00:04:22
Speaker 6: He deserves a raise.

00:04:23
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, I don't leave that story without those two compliments exactly right.

00:04:26
Speaker 2: And You're like, I'm getting hat and so then I.

00:04:28
Speaker 6: Go, well, now you got hat envy.

00:04:31
Speaker 2: I do. I have a little hate.

00:04:33
Speaker 5: So you saw me turn into a cowboy writ and fort here's the problem.

00:04:37
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't want people to think I want to have I'm just gonna put this one on. And then Mario goes, let me take a picture. He takes it, and then he goes, oh, you're gonna like that picture. And I know he knows because I tell him when he takes bad pictures. And I was like, oh, well, let me see it. And then he sends me the picture and I go, I do look good. And then I go, well, I guess I'm getting a hat. Now. It was much less expensive than the two thousand dollars has but still more than I would want to pay for a habit. You know what, when in the least cowboy place in America, Vale, Colorado, be a cowboy, they fit it for us. They put like, what is the thing they put on mine? An Ostrich They put an Ostrich band.

00:05:24
Speaker 6: I got an elephants elephant. They didn't set an Ostrich on your hat. That wouldn't work.

00:05:28
Speaker 2: They gave me an Ostrich band. And then all of a sudden, Drew puts on his hat. I put on my hat. Break back.

00:05:34
Speaker 6: Then they rode off.

00:05:41
Speaker 2: I couldn't quit him. And next thing you know, no we're brooks and done in our Oh yeah, we're brooks and done. And my Maria, we start we're ready to go. So we both bought a hat. We both agree that we don't want to carry it on the plane, so we had it shipped on. Right.

00:06:01
Speaker 5: Mine was the issue if I just didn't want to be fist fighting for the next four days.

00:06:04
Speaker 2: Yes, mine was. I don't want to carry it on the plane. All right, that's too much work. So we both shipped our hats one ship uh to uh to Drew's house, and now we both will have these very nice hats. I have that picture I put it, I put I think Mario puts it up and says, should Matt buy this hat? People who will say to me, Matt, you stinking liberal stoops loving In the comments they wrote, you do look good, so they won me over. Now we have a problem. Where am I ever gonna wear that hat?

00:06:38
Speaker 6: That was my question for you.

00:06:39
Speaker 2: Everywhere?

00:06:40
Speaker 7: Will you ride into the radio station on a horse wearing your hat?

00:06:42
Speaker 2: What am I gonna do?

00:06:44
Speaker 8: I'll proud of you guys for buying the hat, but you're in Bail, Colorado.

00:06:48
Speaker 1: That's when you need to wear the hat.

00:06:49
Speaker 5: Just need to take on even she encouraged shipping it because the flight and there you will bend them.

00:06:55
Speaker 6: She was like, you don't want to keep up with it. You need the cowboys.

00:06:57
Speaker 2: Don't ship that hat.

00:06:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you put it.

00:07:00
Speaker 8: Put it on the true you walk on the plane with it, and then you put it in your lap.

00:07:04
Speaker 1: You could you guys gonna be in Salt Lake City, you gotta stay. I have two toys cowboys.

00:07:09
Speaker 2: We wanted.

00:07:10
Speaker 1: I wanted you to wear the hat to the rest of the trip.

00:07:12
Speaker 7: You just need to take on a new persona. You're now cowboy mat all.

00:07:15
Speaker 2: Right, so wear My mom even texted me my mom and said, you need to get rid of your Twitter profile and make it you in that hat? Right? So I did? Oh you did? I mean, if my mom says it, so now. But the problem is I don't have a wardrobe for a hat, and I'm not changing my whole work. I like, I can't do the thing that people do now where they wear a dress shirt and tuck it into jeans.

00:07:42
Speaker 4: Definitely can.

00:07:43
Speaker 2: I don't like that. That's first of all, that doesn't look like a cowboy to me, but like that's what people do. I can do a version of it. But here's my biggest problem. This is why I need the people listening at home. I need your help. What shoes can I wear? I like, I can't wear cowboy gets so so pointy things and I fall. I don't know why. I mean, Tim, I know you love them, but I can't walk around in those cowboy boots. No, I'm not doing that. So what shoes could I wear? Because I can't wear my my, my, my Jordans with the crocks. I'm not wearing crops, But like, what is there a boot that's not a boot? Like like, you know, like Timberlands used to be a thief. Yeah, but I don't think I can wear that anymore.

00:08:25
Speaker 7: People are gonna see you just walking into the streets of Lexington with a cowboy hat and go man, Matt is going through a midlife crisis or something, right flip yeah.

00:08:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you know JBL and Wrestling would wear a suit you.

00:08:38
Speaker 7: By the way, look, if for anybody who's ever watched Rustling, if you know the character JBL, you look straight up like JBL or maybe a character from Dallas.

00:08:46
Speaker 2: Yes, and they wore suits and a hat. Yeah, I could do that. Like I could see myself going to a nice restaurant and wearing a cowboy hat and a suit. I think I would feel ridiculous. Yeah, but I could see myself doing it. But I have a couple of shirts that look like things people would But I need boots that are not the pointy toe boots. I cannot wear pointy toe boots. My feet are I got big feet, Like they don't work. So uh. If he man has a suggestion seven seven two seven seven four five two five four, and if you sell them somewhere in Lexnon Louisville, I'll come by here because I want to wear the hat. Now, the question is, Ryan, where do I even wear that hat? I can't wear it like on the street. You're exactly right. People think I'm going through well, I mean they're not going through anything. Yeah fine, Yeah, I mean.

00:09:27
Speaker 5: We did buy a cowboy hat. We're kind of going through something and we're transitioning to cowboys right now.

00:09:32
Speaker 1: I think every time you guys go to Keenland, hat's gotta be on.

00:09:35
Speaker 6: So it's where different.

00:09:36
Speaker 5: Keen doesn't know where he's gonna wear his I don't know when I'm gonna take my leaping shorts.

00:09:42
Speaker 6: Just lection didn't get ready for me.

00:09:43
Speaker 4: And a cowboy issue with that is he's thinking about what do I have to wear. It's a persona, it's the way you conduct yourself. He should be changing. It's not a liberal radio station anymore. It's Republican back and he's exactly that's exactly right. Yeah, but ride your whole see in the town and just shoot people.

00:10:01
Speaker 5: That's what you existed people to the.

00:10:08
Speaker 2: I mean J d Vance did it like he wasn't. He just decided away.

00:10:12
Speaker 4: From the couches.

00:10:12
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, So I got to figure out that the boot part of it. I can wear it to see Tyler Childers.

00:10:19
Speaker 6: Absolutely there's one.

00:10:21
Speaker 2: There's one if I take my mom and see Morgan wall and now there's two him and Taylor. Okay, those are all right. You could show me that I could. I could maybe do that little wider.

00:10:32
Speaker 6: When you come ride horses at my ranch, you'll wear.

00:10:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I've seen.

00:10:36
Speaker 2: But if I just like go out, like if we go out, we're like, hey, we got a pregame show. If I walk in the chas bar wearing that hat, people are gonna be like, hey, man, I mean good.

00:10:45
Speaker 7: I mean, considering what you paid, as few times you're gonna wear it, you'd be better off renting a cowboy halt than buying it.

00:10:51
Speaker 2: I will say, one time I was in Vegas, I wore a cowboy hat. Never have women liked me more than.

00:11:02
Speaker 6: Do you hate women swarming you. I would give me that hat party. Your mom likes it. People that don't like you on the internet like it. Women swarm you. I don't know why we're still asking.

00:11:12
Speaker 3: It.

00:11:13
Speaker 1: You know, Coach Prime is wearing a hat and a hoodie. Thine can wear the hat and a hoodie.

00:11:17
Speaker 2: I don't have Coach Prime swag. But that hat hoodie combo that Coach Prime does. I don't shake your head. Mark you're supposed to. You're the one that got me to buy this stupid thing. You can't sit there. And what's what's he wears a hoodie with.

00:11:32
Speaker 4: It and he looks great.

00:11:34
Speaker 2: You don't think I didn't ask you anyway?

00:11:38
Speaker 1: Does he wear his Jordan's when he does the hoodie?

00:11:40
Speaker 2: Had coo?

00:11:42
Speaker 5: I think you could go with that one thing we struggled with and I wanted to do it so bad, but they will brand any saying you want on the inside. And they gave me a sheet of all these cowboys sayings and I just couldn't commit to.

00:11:52
Speaker 2: When you almost said cowboy take me away, that's.

00:11:55
Speaker 6: What the cowboy and me, I think was what I was gonna. I wasn't Jesus taking say I was gonna put Kerry Underwood in there.

00:12:03
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't put any saying on there. I think that would be uh well, so we have cowboy hats. Now here's the second thing. As many of you know, uh we over the years has been a KSR curse. We talk about something, we talk about something, and then something bad happens. That's happened a lot over the years. And so yesterday I was looking at Atlas Obscura Ride, which is a website that tells you cool things in different cities, unique things, and it said that the number one store for spirit, tarot cards and witchcraft was in Denver. Were there, so we were like, well, we gotta at least see that. I was expecting like something in a somebody's house. It was a massive storey, beautiful store. It was actually an unbelievably well done store, ritual Craft. Ritual Craft was the name of it. We walked in there and I looked at the woman. You know, I'm kidding, She was not.

00:12:59
Speaker 6: No.

00:13:00
Speaker 2: And I looked at the woman and said, look, we have a KSR curse. What could we do to make it go away? And she gave us ten options. The cheapest one this was this candle, right yeah, and it's a candle that says luck. And she said, if we burned this candle while we do the show, the KSR curse will go away. We have to ride on the outside KSR curse go away, burn the candle. She said it of at least thirty minutes of the show. Okay, I'll let you rock Chrishannon thirty minutes of the show and it would go away. She also was very clear, don't blow the candle out, or you will be blowing all the luck out of your life.

00:13:49
Speaker 6: I've never seen someone be so serious. She said it to.

00:13:52
Speaker 2: Me like she looked at me and goes seriously, Yeah, do not blow the candle out, even when you paid for it.

00:13:57
Speaker 6: She said it again.

00:13:58
Speaker 2: She said it again, So we're not it out. We have to hover it to get rid of it. But she said if we burned it for thirty minutes during the show, the KSR curse will go away. So during the break, Shannon, Yep, we're gonna light this cannon. We'll let it go for the rest of the show and when we're done in theory, no more curse. Man.

00:14:18
Speaker 1: I love it.

00:14:18
Speaker 4: They just want to listen to No Option number one, which was the olean option where she said, if you really want these girls to go away, it was to bathe together. I said yes, everyone well, Ry said everyone else said no, and I wasn't happy about that. I mean, if we're gonna be here, we gotta be olin. Let's just baite the game.

00:14:34
Speaker 2: It's a bar of soap and said, if you all wash yourselves with this soap together.

00:14:40
Speaker 6: No, it would go away. That was a hard no for me.

00:14:42
Speaker 4: I be told that option and also put it on Ron's head.

00:14:44
Speaker 8: You rubbed it on my ball to day. You brought it a few more, Harrys. I think so it works. We'll have an afro by the time this career. I was not gonna do the bar of soap unless I was first. I wasn't gonna follow you after you rubbed it everywhere.

00:14:58
Speaker 5: She also said, if you will do this, please send me the link. I think she really wanted us to bath to go.

00:15:03
Speaker 2: She did ask us to send the link if we did it. So all right, So we're gonna set this like this. We'll take your calls when we returned. By the end of the show. According to this woman, we'll be back as R Curse God, we'll be right back. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. We have the we have the candle lit. We're ready to go. KSR Curse is going away. We also, by the way, we've got to say they gave us some incense to to have before the Gonzaga game to help us if we They said, if we run around the pregame show with the incense we will beat Gonzaga. So we've got that.

00:15:37
Speaker 6: We're saving that for some Okay, I was wondering what we were doing with that. We're not burning down the airbnb.

00:15:41
Speaker 2: Thank you all for all of you folks who are sending me boot ideas. I'm gonna use them. And uh, somebody suggested the SEC tournament. That's a great place to wear. Perfect place to the SEC Tournament, Nashville. Come on again.

00:15:53
Speaker 6: We'll start being there more than a day now, certainly, certainly, hope.

00:15:58
Speaker 2: So one person rides, I know what what Drew could have gotten emblazed into his hat or not given.

00:16:04
Speaker 6: Oh man, that would have been great. They say, if you bring it back, though, do it for you, so they will. Yeah, next time we're in Vail.

00:16:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, we gotta go to Salt Lake, all right, five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. While we let the candle burn, Let's go the phone. Who's up next? Adam is up next? Adam? Go ahead, Adam.

00:16:20
Speaker 9: Matt, don't you already have like a curse burn candle somewhere on your desk at your health.

00:16:27
Speaker 2: No, this one is this one's official. This is an official candle. Yeah, just a normal can.

00:16:32
Speaker 6: Matt's lilac candle is not gonna get rid of a curse.

00:16:35
Speaker 2: My strawberry cinnamon candle is not is not good for getting rid of curses.

00:16:40
Speaker 9: Hey, I aw excited? Are you all that when you hit you tall that the speed limit goes up to eighty miles per hour in the state.

00:16:47
Speaker 2: I don't follow it wherever it is so, uh you're a cowboy. Yeah, but yes, I am excited by the way this drive we're about to come on. I appreciate the call. This drive from Veil to Salt Lake is a beautiful drive ride. You guys are gonna really enjoy it today.

00:17:00
Speaker 1: It was beautiful yesterday going coming from Denver out here to val going through the mountains, it's just a different part of it.

00:17:05
Speaker 2: I highly recommend to people if you've never driven this interstate through Colorado from Denver to Site. It is an absolutely beautiful, beautiful drive, like it's a part of America that there's no other place like it. I was watching in my rearview mirror, Mario just looking out that you loved it, didn't you? You just look because you never seen anything like He was just looking out the window like a little cat, like really happy to happy to see it.

00:17:30
Speaker 7: It was really cool. I mean, it's just very picturesque, like a postcard out here.

00:17:33
Speaker 2: With the snow. I think I think I've always driven through it in summer mountain with the snow and stuff. It's really beautiful out this way.

00:17:41
Speaker 4: It is, it is. I think after last night, I'll probably be saying a lot of the back of my eyelids, but it'll be It'll be a good drive.

00:17:47
Speaker 2: You uh, we were talking about in that jeep wagoneer run you can get going and you don't even ruze. How fast smooth like it is a smooth drive. We got up to like ninety five and it felt like we were just barely going.

00:17:58
Speaker 6: Just we have to admit that. Yeah, drive safe, Kentucky d J Wagon. He gets downhill, put your phone.

00:18:04
Speaker 4: That's just the cowboy mentality.

00:18:05
Speaker 2: And you've done not.

00:18:06
Speaker 4: I mean, you don't even know what speed is anymore.

00:18:08
Speaker 6: He's living live in the fast land now.

00:18:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, that's right. Well you see me on my horse. How fast? Who's up next?

00:18:14
Speaker 1: Jerry is next?

00:18:16
Speaker 2: Jerry? Go ahead, Jerry, Hey, Matt.

00:18:20
Speaker 10: Yeah, As we were talking a couple of times before. As much as I really want to see him turn around next year, this this just feels an awful lot like ninety four after Curry had that one and ten after the bull season. He just never got the locker room back and never got it back. And and one of the things that just drives me nuts is the offensive line actually.

00:18:42
Speaker 3: Regressed this year and you're going to bring Wolfard back.

00:18:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, And there's no, there's no, I've not heard that anywhere.

00:18:54
Speaker 8: But you know, that's the crazy thing is they kind of blame the issues on the offensive line from when he was here two years ago and didn't develop, you know, backups.

00:19:01
Speaker 1: Then now we're suffering for it now and he's still here.

00:19:03
Speaker 6: I don't get that.

00:19:06
Speaker 1: Well.

00:19:06
Speaker 10: And the other thing an article I read, I don't know how true it is, but apparently when Sliman was sick and passed, his graduate assistant was really doing a lot of the offensive line, and the players and everybody wanted that graduate assistant to get the offensive line coaching job, and Stoops didn't do it and brought his buddy Wolford in and that guy was some roll. And now he's the offensive line coach at Tulaine. And has one of the best offensive lines.

00:19:38
Speaker 4: Evan McKissick was the was the assistant under him, and he was very well respected. The guys loved him, absolutely loved him. And uh he yeah, he went to Tulane with some roll. He actually went to Mary State for a year and then went to Tulane with some roll. And I know, honestly, like I hang out with a lot of Oline guys and when they were talking about potentially someone coming back, literally the first thing they said was, HISSI will be back. That'll be awesome to say him. I know they love him a lot. Obviously, Slimon was great. So so do.

00:20:06
Speaker 2: You agree with Jerry that that that maybe that should have been the coach? Yeah? Maybe.

00:20:11
Speaker 4: I mean McKissick was a was a great dude. Neui's our line stuff, well respected amongst the team. So yeah, sure, who's up next?

00:20:19
Speaker 1: Sean from Austin is up next.

00:20:20
Speaker 2: Sean from Austin. It's hard if you had the coach in the room, the right guy, and you don't have him. That's sting. Sean from Austin.

00:20:27
Speaker 11: Go ahead, man, I'm loving that hat.

00:20:30
Speaker 12: Man, you're rocking that thing. You need to just wear that thing.

00:20:35
Speaker 3: On the plane and come on out of Austin for a while.

00:20:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, the.

00:20:40
Speaker 4: Girlfriend's go ahead.

00:20:47
Speaker 12: I'm not worried about you know, stoops in the program. It's it's right where it needs to be, and he stoops Like when that Louisville time ended, the gas got turned up to about medium high and dude's to standing right in this. So either two things are gonna happen. He's either gonna get hot, and we know he's already talked to other teams before and you know past you know, past behavior predict future performance, so he'll do that again as the way, So water gets too hot, or it's gonna make him even tougher and make him a better leader, and it's gonna make him a winner. So I'm hoping for the best for him. But if it goes south, he's gonna pop some mookee. He's gonna it's all gonna take.

00:21:25
Speaker 10: Care of himself.

00:21:26
Speaker 2: I do agree with that, Like in my opinion, Ryan, next year it's gonna be over one way or the other, meaning like he'll either lock himself in and be rolling or he's gonna have to go. I said that though last year about Cal and Cal was for a while looking like he was gonna Drew trying to be stubborn and stay no matter what. If we were to go for tonight next year, there's no way Drew that Cal could.

00:21:52
Speaker 12: Tempts already ver hot for Cal before last year.

00:21:57
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call he was. What's different about the football and basketball is in basketball, the online community was not as hot as the regular community was. In football, the online community is hotter than the regular community. It's just very different.

00:22:16
Speaker 5: And with basketball, I mean, this season was very disappointing in football, but just by the nature of the sports, football doesn't set you up to have an Oakland or a Saint Peter's. Those two are were just unforgivable. Lot those were horrible losses. Losing to Vandy sucks, and this year sucks. But football just doesn't put you in a spot to lose in the first round where everyone just knows this is over. So there's still some fans that are still on with Stoops because he hasn't had his Oakland or Saint Peter's moment, because it just doesn't put him in that spot.

00:22:42
Speaker 1: Back to back four and Eight's could be that, and then I think it would be that That's why I think a lot of people are afraid of It's gonna be more of the same. If with this season, football season next.

00:22:52
Speaker 4: Year, and now we got two sheriffs, they can run him out of town. I mean, you're right, Yeah, I beg the same. That's that's a responsibility to take it on.

00:23:02
Speaker 2: I mean, it's an ostrich bait.

00:23:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Do you know what that means? Shoot from the hip?

00:23:06
Speaker 2: Now, that's exactly right.

00:23:07
Speaker 6: You get a feather in your cap? Did I got two turkey feathers?

00:23:10
Speaker 2: I wasn't doing a feather he if. I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. We will take a break and be right back here in beautiful, beautiful Vale, Colorado. It's Kentucky Sports Radio walking back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:23:25
Speaker 6: EF.

00:23:25
Speaker 2: I'm nine to two eighth twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. That candle is hanging.

00:23:33
Speaker 6: On for deer Lines, blue Flame.

00:23:34
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. If it if it takes itself out, that means the curse is gone.

00:23:39
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't. It means the curse one that's true of a palid outline minute it.

00:23:45
Speaker 2: Said thirty minutes. If we get to the end of the segment, we have thirty minutes. It was we started at fifteen. If we get to the end of the segment, Uh, then it's okay and and we beat it. Well, just be very confident. Draft Cacks, So Draft Kings you can make your wagers. Last night I put a nice little wager on the Tide and they won. So you go to Draft Kings and use my promo code KSR. Bet five dollars to get one hundred and fifty dollars from Draft Kings. Please game more responsibly around the state one eight hundred game board. If you have a gaming problem, Draft Kings place to go and get your bets on. We will have a special for the Kentucky Gonzaga game. The SEC went fourteen and two, Ryan and the SEC acc challenge problem was we were one of the two, but so was Auburn, who's probably the best team in the conference. So at least we had some company as Auburn lost to Duke.

00:24:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, arguably the two best teams in the SEC. The two highest ranked teams in the SEC are the two teams that lost.

00:24:37
Speaker 2: Tennessee Tennessee's gonna be number one next week.

00:24:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, they could have been number two if they had beat Clemson.

00:24:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, good teams winning the SACA is a c challenge. Great teams lose, That's what they said.

00:24:48
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's true. If you've beaten Clemson Gonzague, you'd been probably number two two.

00:24:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't really matter, but it's not fun being one of the two teams that the lost in the entire event.

00:24:58
Speaker 2: Auburn Duke game was good last night. We were talking about that Duke crowd. Shannon, you were impressed by the Cameron crazy.

00:25:05
Speaker 7: Hey, we were talking about that. How just great that atmosphere is there. You were telling us about all the times that you used to be able to get tickets because you would finagle your way in.

00:25:13
Speaker 2: I think in the three years I went to Duke, I went to probably eighty to ninety percent of the home games, cheered against them every game, and they lost two games while I was there. They lost to North Carolina when Duke was one and Carolina was two, and I stormed the court and they lost to Maryland with Juan Dixon, Steve Blake and those guys. The year they lost won the title those only two times I think they lost when I was there. When I was there, they had Jay Williams, Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy, Chris Duhon, Dante Jones, Shane Battier, all those dudes were there at the same time when I was.

00:25:48
Speaker 7: Do you think Pope would take Kentucky into Cameron Indoor.

00:25:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, that would be great.

00:25:54
Speaker 2: That's what they need to do. I mean, the problem is a Champions Classic, but Jory, they need to figure it out where we play them the Champions Classic one year and then in the sec ACC they come here, we go there. That would be I mean, first of all, it's great for US. It's great for college basketball to have its two marquee names play each other. It would be it would be a huge event. They need to make that happen.

00:26:14
Speaker 6: I think they'll find a way to do it.

00:26:15
Speaker 5: It just lines up perfectly because you have two off years in the Champions Classic. Just slide those games in at least once where we could play do consecutively, have the home and way in a neutral.

00:26:25
Speaker 2: Do you agree we also maybe should get rid of Michigan State in the Champions Classic and put Yukon in there.

00:26:31
Speaker 1: Yukon has definitely if they call it a champions Classic, They're the way won the most championships in one recent years.

00:26:36
Speaker 2: So I think you would have at this point if you put Yukon in with them the four best programs. I mean, you know, Duke and Kentucky have not performed at that level, but historically, you know, I think I think that would be the way to go.

00:26:49
Speaker 5: How do you have that conversation with Michigan State though, You're like, Hey, I know we've had this for thirteen years now, but you're out.

00:26:57
Speaker 2: Yes, you say you're out.

00:26:58
Speaker 7: Would they it'd be that hard to do, Yeah, you're out. When's the last time you want to champion?

00:27:03
Speaker 2: Put them in the CBS Classic. Here's what I would do. Take us out of the CBS Classic, take Ohio State out of the CBS Classic, put Michigan State and Tennessee in there, and then let them have kind of a triple A Classic.

00:27:18
Speaker 4: Drew ask how you do it? I mean, you guys are cowboys. Now you're gonna have these hot conversations. They could send you to there and you could just let him know.

00:27:24
Speaker 5: Look, I'm just glad Matt didn't ask me or you to break down into the basketball last night.

00:27:29
Speaker 6: We weren't exactly who Tom.

00:27:30
Speaker 2: By the way, when he's gone, maybe that's when you do it, right, Yeah, throw.

00:27:35
Speaker 6: Him under the bus.

00:27:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good time to do it.

00:27:37
Speaker 2: It'll be a good time because he's the only reason they're in there. You're gone. Now, we're gonna now, we're gonna. By the way, Ohio State get lost byt thirty to Maryland last night, we better win that game, an you boys, Creighton won, Creighton beat Kansas, that's true. But we gotta beat Ohio State next year in New York in a couple of weeks.

00:27:53
Speaker 6: Absolutely night that.

00:27:54
Speaker 5: I think it'll be a good UK crowd because Ohio State's focused on football. I mean, it won't be a great crowd.

00:27:59
Speaker 2: I'll have a playoff game that day.

00:28:01
Speaker 6: Yeah wow.

00:28:01
Speaker 5: I mean it's a little close to Christmas, so I don't know how crowded it'll be, but it should be mostly blue in there.

00:28:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. They will have a oh house. They will have a playoff game that day. No one's going to that game, broy don't care at all. No one who's up next? John is up next? John? Go ahead, John? Good? Yeah?

00:28:20
Speaker 13: Dain game probably will go to a you know, team that's got he's got more of a chance to help his stock when he does go to the NFL. And what time, what day is the remote for the Louisville game next week?

00:28:37
Speaker 2: Mag So, Yeah, the Louisville game remote. We will be at Beer Nose in Southern Indiana next Friday. So next Friday we will do the day before the game. It's a little early. Normally that's a little later in the year, but the games earlier, So we're doing it February thirteenth.

00:28:52
Speaker 13: That Friday, December thirteenth, yeah, okay.

00:28:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, December thirteenth, correct.

00:28:58
Speaker 13: Yeah, okay, yeah, and bid all the night. I think UK should be number number one seed or number one and number two seeds. It's got a three. I know they had a rough early season, but un got number one seed.

00:29:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they look Kentucky. Yeah, Kentucky. I appreciate the call.

00:29:16
Speaker 13: Right.

00:29:16
Speaker 2: Kentucky played a lot of really good teams in the non conference in volleyball, they just didn't beat it.

00:29:20
Speaker 8: Yeah, they streaked the schedule. It definitely helped them, but it also helped them then prepare for the SEC. When the SEC play started, how's a candle looking.

00:29:27
Speaker 7: At these hanging on for it's got six it's got five more minutes, five.

00:29:31
Speaker 2: More minutes, candle, five more minutes, Marita, we got five, it's got five more minutes. That candle wants to go out. Don't get too close to it, Mario.

00:29:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, don't breathe it. Know what happens when it goes out.

00:29:45
Speaker 2: If it goes out, runs will go by the soap. I'm in.

00:29:51
Speaker 7: If it goes out, we got to sacrifice somebody. I agree, that's what she said.

00:29:55
Speaker 6: Who's who's up next?

00:29:58
Speaker 2: Peggy is up there, Peggy? How are you? Peggy? I'm good?

And he was like you you and he and he was right, and he got me tailored clothes, and uh, they look good. And I still have him. I just don't have a reason to wear them ever, but now I will because.

00:40:15
Speaker 2: That would be fun. We would kill ourselves, but I would assume they like, you have to have some sort of skill to do that, right.

00:40:22
Speaker 16: You have an Olympic driver, you got.

00:40:28
Speaker 2: That would yeah, yeah, well I'll look into it. Time will be difficult because we got a little bit of a haul to get there, but uh, maybe tomorrow after the show, that would be fun.

00:40:41
Speaker 16: Oh, it's one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. And they had the ski jump. You can set and watch people ski jump.

00:40:48
Speaker 2: I've done that before. I appreciate the call. When I was in Calgary ski jumped.

00:40:51
Speaker 6: No, yeah, right, can you imagine that?

00:40:54
Speaker 2: No, I watch and watch people do it. It's amazing.

00:40:56
Speaker 8: We did have something kind of interesting we saw yesterday. We were walking in the streets of Veil. We went to where the snow slopes were and at three three o'clock shut it down because we're starting to get dark here.

00:41:07
Speaker 2: So much Yeah, a lot of ski like this is ski country. People walking down the street with their ski boots off.

00:41:12

There's a bar two blocks from the arena where we're gonna do the pregame show. I'm working with them right now. I'll announce that tomorrow. They have space, but they only have space for like seventy five people in the upstairs where we're gonna be. But they also to say they can be downstairs, so you'll want to get there a little early. But we're gonna do the pregame show there. I think there's gonna be Drew a lot of Kentucky fans in Seattle.
