Speaker 2: This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

00:00:34
Speaker 3: Now Here's Matt Jones.

00:00:36
Speaker 4: Welcome everyone to the is Kentucky Sports Radio, Tuesday, December the second. I am Matt Jones here on a day full of snow all around the We'll probably all around the state. Secondly, here in Lexington. I heard they had more in Louisville, and it is all over the place. Some places out of school County Public Schools is one of them, so we are here. But it's also one of the more massive days in recent KSR history. You can give Sean Clark's Pumping Shop full line eight five nine eight twenty two eighty seven a vision auto glass text machine seven seven two seven to seven four five two five four in this distion sponsored by the TJ. Smith Law Office. If you called TJ. He'll make them pay. It is on the same day we have a massive basketball game as Kentucky plays North Carolina tonight. The two winningness programs of all time or two of the three. I guess Kansas is up there now. Kentucky has a new football coach. Yesterday. Uh, it was officially announced at eleven fifteen at night. They're doing a tough job about announcing this stuff in the middle of the night, but it leaked earlier in the evening. Will Stein is the new University of Kentucky football coach. If you were keeping score at home, just twenty five hours after they announced that Stoops was leaving, they have announced. Actually they didn't officially announce Stoops was leaving un till two till Monday morning, so fourteen I think after they announced, they already had a new coach, as Will Stein is the coach. Let's just start with this. I'll give you my reaction and then let's do yours. I think this is a great hire. I think if you had gone back four or three months ago and said, who are the who would you want if Mark Stops is not the coach at the end of the year, you would have said either John summerl or Will Stein. So you get one of them. I'm sure some people might have wanted another, some people whatever, But you got one of the two candidates I think most people would have thought would have been the best for this job. Grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. Dad played for Kentucky season ticket holders apparently in Section one twenty eight, twenty eight at Kroger Field. So whoever's in one twenty eight, you've been sitting next to the for years. You were sitting next to the new head football coach. He was a kid that apparently went to every game played at Louisville. Has been the offensive coordinator at UTSA and then Oregon. He has coached three quarterbacks. All three are going to end up top three round draft picks in the NFL. BO Nicks Dylan Gabriel and his quarterback More Now will as well whenever he leaves. So loves the school. I had my friend Jeff Schwartz, who I did my ESPN show with after I did it with Orlowsky, Myron, and I did it with a guy named Jeff Schwartz for a year. He played at Oregon, lives in Eugene, huge Oregon fan. Does radio for the PAC twelve or now it's I guess the Big Well.

00:03:32
Speaker 5: I don't know if he's with the Big ten.

00:03:33
Speaker 4: Network or not, but he did do it with the Pac twelve. He wrote me yesterday and said, you guys have a brilliant coach. We hate to lose him. He's gonna be awesome there. So I am very very happy. I grade the hire an a. It was fourteen hours, which is crazy, but I, I mean just really really happy with what we ended up with.

00:03:54
Speaker 5: What about you drew me too. It's been in my brain summ raw in Stein for a long time. Some Raw clearly wasn't an option, uh with the way it played out, and I love how quickly they moved to get Stein. You know, just daying hate you got to go fast. Players are already looking out and looking for other places, and you don't want to miss out on that window. I know it's not officially open, but come on, let's be honest. They're all talking behind the scenes. So I'm glad they got it done early. And even though it shouldn't matter that much, something about him having those season tickets goes along with it matters.

00:04:26
Speaker 4: We now have a football and a basketball coach that is specifically one of us. Ryan, you remember when Will Stein, I don't know if you remember when his dad played, but you remember a long time.

00:04:37
Speaker 6: What do you think about his dad actually scored a touchdown? Punk found a touchdown of his dad falling on a fumbling end zone or something. So Okay, so that video, that video surface today, big man TD. But you're right, man, uh, you know, it had to be a hire that re energized the fan base, got the fan base back on board. It had to be a hire that got the boosters n IL people back on board. It had to be a hired to get that locker room back on board. And this guy checks all those boxes. You know, when we walked out of this room yesterday, he was maybe choice one hardline was one A and then who would have thought we'd come back in here today and it's a done deal. I mean, it happened, but it had to happen faster.

00:05:10
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I think that that's one of the things you have to go back and look at Clearly, they didn't have their first conversation with him yesterday, right, I mean, they had to have talked to him at some point, had to. I mean, there's no way that you could have I mean, there's no way that Kate could have gone from zero to nothing.

00:05:27
Speaker 5: In a day.

00:05:29
Speaker 6: So do you think they talked Sunday?

00:05:32
Speaker 4: I mean probably, But I bet there were conversations. Maybe not between Mitch and but I bet there were conversations of if this job would come open maybe two weeks ago, right, maybe when it looked like who knows. We'll never know the answer because they'll never say. But you're not going to convince me that in fourteen hours they went from Hello, my name is Mitch Barnhart, Hello, my name is will Stein.

00:05:53
Speaker 5: And I mean that's just Mitch can't call will Stein midyear. But they both have friends agent. I mean that happened every team, everywhere, there's constant somebody talked.

00:06:03
Speaker 4: And you know what's funny, is this the word of it yesterday? Well, first of all, Shannon, what do you think of it?

00:06:08
Speaker 5: We didn't.

00:06:08
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I was told, if you believe any of my sources, that the decision was made on Sunday.

00:06:14
Speaker 4: Okay, so see this is what I this was exactly.

00:06:18
Speaker 5: I'm glad you said that.

00:06:18
Speaker 4: That's why we're going to the will Stein's family. Like everyone in Louisville knows these literally, like everyone like I can. I mean there are like three or four names in Kentucky media that grew up with it. Okay. I mean Stephen Peak, who works for us, played on the same baseball team. He was wearing the jersey last night on rappend Rection for TJ Walker, former KSR guy. I think knew him as a as a kid. Katie George. There are multiple pictures of Katie George and he has little kids together. The report every person like Shannon, and I'm not saying Shannon whoever told you that it's not correct, but everyone wrote me yesterday. Hundreds of people wrote the text machine and said I have a source. Deals done, and they may all have been right, they may have none been right. I don't think it was done. I was talking to somebody who was part of it. I don't think it was done until about nine thirty or ten last night. I think they were ready for official people to report it. When the Pete Thamull and all those people did. But I think there was probably an agreement. Who knows when, maybe even Sunday. It will be interesting to have somebody though, this is gonna be the age of So I was talking. I gotta like, there's gonna be more sources. I was thinking about this. We haven't had a coach connected to this state like since I've been doing it. Like Mark played here, but he didn't know anybody here.

00:07:59
Speaker 5: Still very closed though he's from Washington State.

00:08:02
Speaker 4: This is gonna be the era of my Baker told him the Hunter, like, this is gonna be the air of just wait.

00:08:09
Speaker 3: Ye, all the Trinity connections.

00:08:11
Speaker 5: I mean first, I was wondering, what's going on? Something loud noise was in.

00:08:15
Speaker 6: The fire alarm.

00:08:17
Speaker 5: Okay, so what do we do with this? Okay? Stop?

00:08:21
Speaker 4: I mean this, Yes, Trinity is everywhere. They're what nine thousand kids at Trinity every year. Yeah, I mean the Age of Trinity, both the UK, both the UK and True Trinity. Guys, that's true, both of them. This is the Age of Trinity.

00:08:35
Speaker 6: But who would have thought we'd have a former Louisville quarterback as our head coach.

00:08:39
Speaker 4: But it seems like, do you think he's more us than them. We're gonna be You may just have to deal with this the whole time.

00:08:45
Speaker 5: Can we not?

00:08:46
Speaker 4: Can we not do a show like this?

00:08:48
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't have this going over the air. There goes stop? What kind of fire alarm starts and stops like that?

00:08:55
Speaker 5: All right?

00:08:55
Speaker 4: If it does it again, Shannon.

00:08:57
Speaker 3: I tell you my take real quick if it doesn't.

00:09:01
Speaker 4: If it does again, then you can just talk until we get here eight five nine, twenty two eighty seven.

00:09:06
Speaker 5: Hopefully it won't do it again.

00:09:07
Speaker 4: But anyway, point being, uh, you mentioned the U of L coach or U of L playing.

00:09:13
Speaker 5: I consider him more of a Kentucky.

00:09:15
Speaker 4: Guy though, right if he grew up a fan wanted to play here, I wanted to play here.

00:09:22
Speaker 3: I don't know how that is.

00:09:22
Speaker 5: He wanted to walk on spot and couldn't get his dad played with Joker. It's like, hey, you guys, Bob from a boy.

00:09:27
Speaker 3: So I don't even blame him.

00:09:29
Speaker 5: I know that.

00:09:30
Speaker 6: Oh wow, So he wanted it bad and just didn't have the opportunity.

00:09:35
Speaker 4: So let's talk about what we have. I mean Oregon's offense, I mean, they they're they're up tempo, they're fast paced. They put up a lot of points. I think the development of quarterbacks Ryan is.

00:09:49
Speaker 5: Huge for me.

00:09:50
Speaker 6: I didn't get a suck.

00:09:51
Speaker 4: All right, we'll have to do this now. I don't know what we'll do. I'll try to get connected somewhere else, Shannon, you you get going and we'll see what we can do. I mean to what a day, What a day for this to happen? I know, but it's just gonna keep doing it the whole time. I mean, can you handle six beeps.

00:10:07
Speaker 3: Over their worst fire alarm ever?

00:10:09
Speaker 7: Mean?

00:10:10
Speaker 5: Building?

00:10:10
Speaker 4: You go see what's happening, just.

00:10:12
Speaker 6: Beeping twice and then quitting. So yeah, it's done that three times.

00:10:16
Speaker 4: Only at I Heeart you hire will Stein? Does the building decide to beep the buildings? I'll also note that there's like a pretty big meeting going on right now in this building. Yeah, with some of this, like I'm not kidding, and not on this floor, but somewhere else because we ran into them in the elevators.

00:10:42
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:10:43
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know what you're referring to, but that's okay. It's on brand.

00:10:47
Speaker 5: Though.

00:10:48
Speaker 3: I will say that.

00:10:51
Speaker 4: A few things yesterday happened that we're great Kentucky one is the whole airplane.

00:10:55
Speaker 5: Situation on the buildings. Okay, by the way, we're safe. Is this gonna stop? I don't know about that, but we don't have to evacuate our top floor of the city center.

00:11:02
Speaker 4: Can you ask them not?

00:11:03
Speaker 5: Are they doing testing? They cannot be doing No one in the office is budged. Everyone's just zooming and typing away out there. Okay, So.

00:11:12
Speaker 4: The airplane situation was great, all right, So I get it. I get a message that says there's an airplane on the tarmac in Lexington that is going from Lexington to Columbus and then Columbus to Eugene. Okay, come on, could be coincidence on the day, like, like, what was it?

00:11:33
Speaker 5: Billy?

00:11:36
Speaker 4: There's a show going on.

00:11:40
Speaker 3: Can't they test this?

00:11:42
Speaker 5: Why are they gonna test it during the day snowing outside? It's not gonna have a test.

00:11:50
Speaker 4: A test And Billy says it can go over the air.

00:11:53
Speaker 3: It did too late.

00:11:58
Speaker 4: So when you see that, you go and by the way, it's owned by probably the second biggest football donor, right the jet Yeah, I mean we could say it was all over the internet. Brett Senzer, Yeah, who literally is probably the second.

00:12:11
Speaker 6: Biggest football dough and to use his jet a lot, and they.

00:12:13
Speaker 4: Use his jet all the time, so you I mean, the natural inclination is, Okay, they're going to go interview Brian Hartline and then they're going to go to Oregon.

00:12:24
Speaker 5: Huh.

00:12:25
Speaker 4: But then an hour before that, a jet is going from Jeffersonville, Indiana, directly to Eugene organ That's a rental jet, like a net Jets kind of thing. So they're both going on the one to Columbus and Eugene never took off. There's some people speculating they just put that out there smoke screen.

00:12:49
Speaker 5: Smoke screen because you know, you gotta let their report know. They gotta get in the system.

00:12:52
Speaker 4: I don't feel like our people are clever enough to do that, Like they don't do that kind of stuff.

00:12:59
Speaker 5: I know in thest Ball search, they had a few tricks up their sleeve. They were leaving from other airports, and leaving from other airports.

00:13:05
Speaker 4: I get like they've they've actually flown from that Jeffersonville airport before, So that doesn't shock me.

00:13:11
Speaker 5: But do you think.

00:13:14
Speaker 4: They put out a fake flight plan?

00:13:18
Speaker 5: I think the most likely scenario, No, not for a college.

00:13:24
Speaker 4: Football Why would there have been a flight plan that didn't take off that would go to Club this.

00:13:31
Speaker 5: And then eug I lean a little misdirection, but I don't believe you CA Athletics has that in them, you think just to get My best guess is maybe they weren't all done with Stein yet and they thought we might have to go talk to higher line who could get us there. And it's like getting it in the system as a just in case. Stein says yes, and like, all right, we don't need that. But I mean it was I think it was kind of just having it lined up in case we have to go.

00:13:56
Speaker 4: An smoke screen. That's like that's a backup.

00:13:59
Speaker 5: And that's just me completely trying to say what they could be do.

00:14:02
Speaker 6: I think it was total. They had to get ready just in case. So they had to notify the pilot, who had to notify the air traffic controllers to get on the flight pad pattern. And then so if they had to take off, I.

00:14:12
Speaker 4: Mean, if they can't drive to clumb that far, like you can drive to three and a half.

00:14:19
Speaker 5: You were, you would have gone to Eugene, would have driven to Eugene, would have yeah, will will be there in eight days interview.

00:14:27
Speaker 4: It was a smoke It's literally the organ trail.

00:14:30
Speaker 6: If it was a smoke screen, they probably would have had a trip to Las Vegas. Try to really throw us off.

00:14:36
Speaker 4: Oh for damn Muller, let's take a break. Eighty seven text machine is seven to seven? What a KSR said first segment, I play in this whole wheel Stein My.

00:14:49
Speaker 5: Good crief. We'll be right back. This's gonna drive me in crazy today.

00:14:59
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to I'm have to figure out, like how do we get the zen of this fire alarm? I mean, just so people know we're in the city. This is the city Center building in Lexington, right, yes, what is wrong with these people who own?

00:15:13
Speaker 5: Like how are they doing this?

00:15:14
Speaker 4: Forget about us? How are you testing firearm during the work day? Why can't you test it at not there's.

00:15:19
Speaker 5: Several floors full of me but right now, like just listen to this. Also they tested it. What's with the we're going?

00:15:27
Speaker 4: Can someone at the city sit or understand chain and it's working now they're.

00:15:30
Speaker 3: Just doing it to make you mad, Like now it's doing it more than it was.

00:15:36
Speaker 4: You haven't now see But is that real?

00:15:43
Speaker 6: Or are they? Yeah?

00:15:47
Speaker 4: Well they but they said they sent an email saying they were doing this. By the way, thank you Diheart for letting me know about that email. We could have gone to the thestaurant today. This place runs like a dream.

00:15:59
Speaker 5: Got a minim small.

00:16:02
Speaker 4: Because people are saying it's funny listening to be be frustrated. It's just because, like, this is the kind of show you do, Shannon, and we can use on a best of, Like we just played on Thanksgiving the day after Mark Pope was.

00:16:12
Speaker 2: High, some random summer show. This is kind of a big show.

00:16:15
Speaker 4: So if will Stein ends up being successful, this is when we could have played for years, and now we can't because.

00:16:22
Speaker 6: I might argue this is definitely a best of now twenty seven.

00:16:30
Speaker 4: One person writes, mad I wrote you this at eleven thirty seven. I said he had already accept the job. You didn't read it on the show. You could have had it. I got, sir with respect. I got like two hundred of those. But I mean, you know, how do you know if that's true. Plus I was talking to someone that was involved in in the process and they were saying, it's not not Doe.

00:16:52
Speaker 5: We think it's going to be done, but it's not done. So, I mean, you know, I'm like you, I'm not. I'm not from a little life friends Louisville. This was my first taste of how Louisville operation. This is everyone I know with a louisvill number, text me, tell everyone, story about everyone.

00:17:07
Speaker 4: This is Louisville. I've lived there, Louisville, especially the Catholic schools in Louisville and specifically Shannon Trinity. Trinity is like a network. It's like an underground society that's above ground.

00:17:27
Speaker 5: Am I wrong about this?

00:17:28
Speaker 8: No?

00:17:28
Speaker 3: You got it.

00:17:30
Speaker 4: Trinity. There's nothing like it in Lexington. Like Trinity runs louis.

00:17:36
Speaker 6: Does Saint X have their own underground Also.

00:17:38
Speaker 4: I'm sure I don't think it's I think the Trinity. I maybe I just know. But think about all the people we know that went to Trinity, Deaner, you know, Vanetti, Like, they're all Trinity people, Jody Dimmling, They're all Trinity people and they're everywhere. And this is how it's going to be, Like the amount of my cousin told me, like, that's just how it's gonna be.

00:18:01
Speaker 5: On the moment, there's something whatever during the season we're trying to figure out.

00:18:05
Speaker 4: Is it's gonna be great for us, like it's gonna be great for news agencies because we've had a number of coaches here back to back that were relatively tight lipped. Cow was tight lip, absolutely for the most part. Pope's Pope's the most tight lift I've seen. Stoops was. I mean, some people talked, but it wasn't crazy.

00:18:24
Speaker 5: This will.

00:18:26
Speaker 4: Whether whether they do it, the Trinity will be on fire, the Trinity hotline. Oh yeah, will Stein's Bomb owns a cake store.

00:18:35
Speaker 3: Yes, in louisod for business.

00:18:37
Speaker 5: What's the name of the cake store?

00:18:40
Speaker 4: Cissy Cakes.

00:18:41
Speaker 5: That sounds right.

00:18:42
Speaker 6: I think that sounds right.

00:18:43
Speaker 4: That's the one I think. Okay, has anyone ever had cissy Cakes?

00:18:49
Speaker 6: No, but I'm anxious to try them.

00:18:51
Speaker 4: Okay, So here's what I want to do. Cissy Cakes. Now, I know it's snowy, but I would like someone two cycles.

00:19:03
Speaker 6: Here's the second one.

00:19:06
Speaker 5: I would like someone. Can I take the batteries out of that.

00:19:09
Speaker 4: To go to cissy Cakes during the show?

00:19:13
Speaker 6: Okay, I like it.

00:19:14
Speaker 4: Who's Shannon? Could we get to go to cissy Cakes and buy a cake.

00:19:18
Speaker 5: And eat it in Louisville.

00:19:20
Speaker 4: In Louisville, cissy Cakes is on Fairfax Avenue. This is an end show thing I would like to do. I would like to have someone. It looks like it is next to it's in Saint Matthew's. It's next to The Black Rabbit, which I've been watching Netflix. You gotta be careful there. Yeah, correct, good show.

00:19:38
Speaker 3: I don't know where's Rick when you need them?

00:19:40
Speaker 5: You know who could we get to go? All right?

00:19:44
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what if there's something one that will volunteer if you have nothing to do, to go to Cissy Cakes and be our will Stein's Mom's Bakery correspondent Jane Lyndon.

00:19:57
Speaker 6: We're calling you out.

00:19:58
Speaker 4: Just text the text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five for but go ahead and like actually say like, don't do it unless you can. Then I'll have Shannon call you and we will send you to sissy Cake Skate and I'll pay for your cake, all right, because I want to I want to taste a.

00:20:16
Speaker 5: Sissy cake that she has orange juice cakes, so they're unique. Oh, all the cakes are made of orange, but she might have others. But that's like that's one of the things. Thing is you know what a bunt cake is? Like, Yeah, it's kind of like that orange juice, maybe a little orange zest.

00:20:31
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, let me know if you can do it. Seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. Uh do you think he wins the fan base?

00:20:39
Speaker 5: Voat Yes, And and the story is coming out about how he's a Kentucky fan. I read yesterday on KSR his parents had a life sized DeMarcus Cousins poster in their home. When I read that, I didn't need to know anything older than that or younger than that. Well, oh, people can't have pictures of Oh.

00:20:57
Speaker 4: You're saying those parents did not Okay, his parents had a life size When I.

00:21:02
Speaker 5: Heard that, I don't I don't care. I don't care about anything else. I know that's dumb, that should not matter, but it's not like, yeah, I kind of like Kentucky kind of went the games. If you have a life size to Marcus Cousins poster in your home, I'm all in. I don't care. They could have made his mom the coach and I would have been all in. So I think the fan connection it goes a long way here. We know that and him knowing is his exact seat number from when he had the season tickets. I think that's gonna carry a lot of weight. Then, of course, he has one of the best offenses in the last several years, and.

00:21:31
Speaker 6: You mentioned that before the alarm started going off. That's how I know him is just what he did with Bonix. When Bonnick was there a couple years, they were so fun to watch. He was much watched TV man.

00:21:39
Speaker 4: He deal Gabriel, he got, he became a third pick in the draft, and he's gonna make this. I think his name is Dante Moore, a pick. You know that's exciting.

00:21:49
Speaker 6: Do you have an opinion about him coaching through the playoffs.

00:21:52
Speaker 5: I think he should do it. I think it's good for us. I really do.

00:21:56
Speaker 4: Huh, it's gonna be let's I mean, let's say they win a couple Let's say he win a game or two. We're gonna not only We're not only is fans gonna get to learn our offense. People are gonna say during the game offensive coordinator Will Stein going to Kentucky, or people gonna be like, what a great hire. I mean, all the national media loves the guy, like we got universal praise yesterday. So I'm good with it. I know some people would say you need to focus on the job. But I'm having to do a show with a fire alarm, so I feel like he can also do I feel like he can also do it.

00:22:27
Speaker 5: We'll be all right, we'll figure it out here. I mean he can work the phones from there. I'm with you. There will be a tight shot of him on the sideline. It'll have a UK logo like yep.

00:22:35
Speaker 4: First they're trying to get him here tonight for the game to be introduced, introduced at the game, But there are flight issues because of the weathers.

00:22:47
Speaker 6: Did we only have a private jet up there?

00:22:49
Speaker 5: Maybe they shouldn't go through climbas just go straight.

00:22:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would assume that was the one that would from Indiana. But there's a chance he could be introduced at the game, which would be nuts.

00:22:58
Speaker 5: That would be the place would go nuts.

00:23:00
Speaker 4: Not being a press conference today today, though maybe tomorrow, I don't know. We'll be right back to KSI. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

00:23:08
Speaker 5: He'll make them pay.

00:23:09
Speaker 2: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:13
Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:14
Speaker 4: All right, so Jay Linda is going to get the cake.

00:23:16
Speaker 6: He's going to get the cake yep.

00:23:18
Speaker 4: And this thing beat during the entire break. How it's gonna keep beeping? Look, I don't understand how these things work, Shannon. You you're a tech guy.

00:23:27
Speaker 5: No, I'm not.

00:23:28
Speaker 3: No, I'm not at all.

00:23:29
Speaker 4: Why how many times do they?

00:23:31
Speaker 8: Like?

00:23:31
Speaker 5: Once?

00:23:31
Speaker 4: It beeps once? Yeah, you know what I mean?

00:23:34
Speaker 5: It beats.

00:23:34
Speaker 4: It works, So what else.

00:23:36
Speaker 5: Do we need to do? I tested my smoke detectors like two nights ago. Hit the button, it beaped and went on living, go on, Yeah, I do it. It's been over thirty minutes now testing what this is?

00:23:47
Speaker 4: There a reason? Maybe somebody can tell me. I don't know what the reason would be.

00:23:50
Speaker 2: I mean, is it possible Maybe there's not even anybody in there really doing that. They just hit it one time and walked away, And now every so often it just goes off on its own.

00:23:57
Speaker 4: And what if an actual emergency started happening.

00:24:00
Speaker 3: Your screw right now?

00:24:01
Speaker 6: We would think it's a test.

00:24:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're up high in the air and we would think it's a test.

00:24:04
Speaker 3: You'd see the smoke.

00:24:06
Speaker 6: There's two us testing a lot of testing with a screwdriver.

00:24:09
Speaker 5: I think I could just take this off the ceiling. It might be illegal, but I see it. I could do it. Yeah, Ef, I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. All right, So Jane Lyndon's gonna go to sissy Cake. Apparently it's right next to Trinity. There are now people in the text machine arguing about Trinity versus Saint X, which, by the way, is all living in Louisville. Is well. Adam Luckert, who covers football for is played at Saint X, and he's already thinks he has a rivalry with me. It's like they don't turn that off, like that lives with them.

00:24:36
Speaker 4: Also, Uh, this is gives you an example of how much will is connected to the Kentucky community. I sat there and thought of like seven people who had some connection to him, and I texted all of them and said, do any of you have Will's? I says Stext some suffering. Do you have will Stein's number? All seven? Everyone, Shannon, Everyone's got it. Everyone's got it.

00:25:04
Speaker 2: Too bad we don't have the number two. Whoever's running these fire alarm tests.

00:25:10
Speaker 6: To it.

00:25:11
Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Madison. I'm gonna I'm gonna break this thing before it's over, Madison.

00:25:18
Speaker 8: How we're done?

00:25:19
Speaker 4: Matt great, Madison, if you can't tell.

00:25:24
Speaker 9: I hate it for you the firearms going off.

00:25:27
Speaker 8: But uh, you know, but I got two things.

00:25:34
Speaker 4: This was one I wish you had a live camera for yes, if you can see my face just walked in, all right, Madison, go ahead.

00:25:43
Speaker 8: One is do you think some of the organ commits that they have set up for the National Signing Day? You think they'll commit to Kentucky? And two? Who needs to step up first North Carolina crush to be the ranked team.

00:26:00
Speaker 5: I don't even know what you should.

00:26:04
Speaker 4: Shannon, I mean, what do we do? I'm being honest, This is like we just have to talk about it here on there.

00:26:09
Speaker 5: What do we do? I can't?

00:26:11
Speaker 4: I mean, is it better to just let you go and take people's calls or sho we keep this going on?

00:26:17
Speaker 3: Just keep it going. It's fine. I mean, it's it's part of the KSR charm to have.

00:26:20
Speaker 4: I can't imagine to listen to I mean, Drew R. My friends are texting me more more alarms for alarms.

00:26:30
Speaker 6: Now it's like going over and over and over, won't stop.

00:26:33
Speaker 3: They're just messing with you.

00:26:34
Speaker 4: Now, you know what, I'm gonna flip off City Center if we're not careful.

00:26:39
Speaker 6: We can't go to another studio because doing the same thing in every studio up here.

00:26:43
Speaker 4: And one of our bosses just wrote me and goes, well, we never know if you're here, so we didn't know to tell you. I was like, do you want me to every single day write you and go is there gonna be a fire alarm?

00:26:51
Speaker 5: The entire show today would have been helpful, just a little heads up. It would have been helpful to know. I could have happily gone to the bar. All right.

00:26:59
Speaker 2: Matt Madison wanted to know who's going to us step up tonight in the North Carolina Kentucky game.

00:27:04
Speaker 5: I don't know, Michael.

00:27:05
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Michael answer, I don't know.

00:27:10
Speaker 10: Oh guys, I'm not gonna lie. When I heard that fire alarment, first I thought that something's going on in my house. So I understand how annoying that could be.

00:27:19
Speaker 4: That's a problem, that's that might be a problem that everybody feels.

00:27:23
Speaker 5: Go ahead.

00:27:25
Speaker 10: So my question to you is that how do you think, uh the reaction is going to be for will Stein? Like, do you think that the energy around the program this year is going to be similar to how it's been Like years where we expected Soups to go nine and three, eight and four.

00:27:41
Speaker 4: He gets a year of grace. No, but I don't think, well, it's a good question. I appreciate the call. Do you think, I mean, what do what do you think the expectations will be year one?

00:27:51
Speaker 5: I think people are gonna give him a year to get I mean, you got to build a team and his you know, with one of the hardest schedules we've ever of course, and he does the feed the studs offense he's been I got a playmaker, get him the ball. You know if who came up with that phrase, it doesn't matter, no care. I don't look backwards. I look forward to soon as Bobby Petrino, who cares. I've already forgotten who you said. We've moved on through the studs here and Lexington. But to that point in one concern actually have is we have to have studs for him. Defeed. I mean that's a great concept when you're at Oregon, because Oregon is loaded with talent. So I think, and I think he can get it, but I don't know that he'll be able to just in year one. Just have an offense full of guys that you can just get the ball to a bunch of playmakers. Maybe you will, but I think he needs a little bit of time.

00:28:29
Speaker 4: Now there's a new coach, Ryan, you get an injection of energy, absolutely, so I think that's.

00:28:33
Speaker 5: Gonna be good.

00:28:35
Speaker 4: And then I think that once you have that, fans, as long as people see positivity, fans I think will give him certainly a year to get going.

00:28:46
Speaker 6: I don't think there's any doubt about it. And I think he'll take him a minute to get his people in place that he wants to get here. But if you're a recruit you want to play in a system like that, you know he can go out now and sell his system. And he had at Oregon get some guys to come here and to make it fun and exciting the offense.

00:28:58
Speaker 4: And he's the youngest coach in SCC with thirty six. Thirty six, Wow, I mean, that's that's nuts.

00:29:06
Speaker 5: They've never been older than a coach before this.

00:29:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's the first time thirty six I did.

00:29:11
Speaker 5: Like on the recruiting Matt Ponatowski put out a picture of him and will Stein last night because people were wondering, we'll Kentucky keep him. I mean, Oregon was second his recruitment, and he tweeted something like I could get used to this or this might work or something like that.

00:29:23
Speaker 4: Have you gone back in the archives? I mean there's a chance, I mean he played in the KSR. There's a chance you specifically have written something bad.

00:29:38
Speaker 5: Well, Matt, I don't look backwards all at Fritts.

00:29:41
Speaker 4: I mean, like, there's a chance that there are old KSR posts that we could take down.

00:29:49
Speaker 5: It's fine.

00:29:50
Speaker 4: I don't know so honestly don't remember. But that was will Stein played in the.

00:29:57
Speaker 5: I think it was. You could be mean back then. Yeah, yeah, but again, I don't look backwards. You know, he's the head coach of Kentucky.

00:30:03
Speaker 10: I know.

00:30:03
Speaker 4: I'm just saying this is the first Kentucky coach.

00:30:07
Speaker 5: That's fine.

00:30:07
Speaker 4: Can you remember that one little comment that I wrote once in the comment section about Cala that state that brought people brought up four years?

00:30:15
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, but I don't care. I'm not trying to be his best friend. I need him to come here and win games. If he doesn't like something I wrote back then, that's fine. Do you score him like playing high school?

00:30:24
Speaker 6: I played playing in high school, but not really at Louisville. He didn't play a lot, but I think he played against US. I think he started against US.

00:30:33
Speaker 4: And either I think he got hurt and Teddy Bridgewater came in.

00:30:37
Speaker 6: I think that's exactly right, or maybe and I.

00:30:39
Speaker 4: Think maybe the year before he came in for somebody else. I think he played against US twice.

00:30:44
Speaker 5: He went three Well, let me make sure this is right. It looks like he went three for five against Kentucky in the game.

00:30:49
Speaker 4: I think he played against US twice, once coming in and once he got hurt and got replaced. I could be wrong about that, but I think that's correct.

00:30:58
Speaker 5: He came in for Teddy in his senior.

00:30:59
Speaker 4: Year, that's okay? Did did we him? The year before?

00:31:04
Speaker 5: He also took a few snaps behind Teddy? Yeah? Through four passes in one year five and another? Okay, so he played with Teddy. Jamie, go ahead, Jamie, Yeah.

00:31:16
Speaker 8: I just wanted to ask about the quarterbacks. I know it'll come up, but why would Cutter want to leave when we had a poor type performance on the field for a court, for a quarterback coach that's really gonna do great things? What do y'all think about this?

00:31:33
Speaker 4: Has anybody said he was, Yeah, I haven't heard he's gonna leave.

00:31:37
Speaker 5: Ran.

00:31:37
Speaker 4: I would think he stays, don't you.

00:31:39
Speaker 6: You would think now more than ever, he wants to stay, to be in a system like this with a guy that developed Bone Knicks Dylan Gabriel. Yeah, you want to be a part of that.

00:31:48
Speaker 5: Yeah. Cutter, I'm sure has to consider all options. But when you're looking around, what more fun offense would there be than Organs? And now he's coming to you. Yeah, if you're a quarterback.

00:31:56
Speaker 4: I mean, let's say Cutter was gonna leave and he got to decide where to go to college. Let's say he decided at the end of the season, I appreciate the call, I'm leaving Uk Shannon, I'm gonna go somewhere else. And let's say he had an offer from every school.

00:32:08
Speaker 5: In the country.

00:32:10
Speaker 4: I would think Oregon with the last three dudes getting drafted in the NFL and the first three rounds would have been one of his top choices.

00:32:17
Speaker 5: Don't you came in.

00:32:18
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not saying that's where he would have picked, but it would have been one of um, yes, it would have. So then if that offensive coordinator ends up in your lap, I mean where are you gonna go?

00:32:29
Speaker 5: I think he had an offer from Oregon. I know he wasn't like top five. He was looking more at Tennessee and things like that behind Kentucky. But there was connection there, and I assume it would be with stein And in the recruitment.

00:32:38
Speaker 4: And as you said yesterday, the one commitment we have that four star Matt Ponatowski. His other school was Orgon.

00:32:45
Speaker 5: He's got a picture of him and Steiner.

00:32:47
Speaker 4: So you gotta think he's coming.

00:32:49
Speaker 6: H right, We'll have all these pictures next year of Cutter at the game as a little guy. Now I have will Steide at the game as a little guy and.

00:32:56
Speaker 3: The style that he likes to play.

00:32:57
Speaker 2: He says fast and free, you know, for the quarterback, I would think that when we've.

00:33:01
Speaker 4: Seen Cutter play well this year it's been like that. It's been in those up.

00:33:05
Speaker 5: Temple right, I'd watched for stein He might even bring someone with him to compete with Cutter. Of Cutter's days, I don't know any of his connections out there, but when you're there, well, quarter is back. The Dante More I think has to go back. There's a quarterback at cal that had been there, but when you're the oc at Oregon, you have a pretty big contact list of qbs.

00:33:22
Speaker 4: If you're a bourbon lover and a UK fan, grab a bottle of Club Blue Bourbon.

00:33:26
Speaker 5: Their white label and.

00:33:27
Speaker 4: Blue Level label won gold medals at the ASCOT Awards. They're supporting great athletes through jmi's Nil. Ryan and Drew selected the recipe along with others, and this week only get free shipping with the code Holidays. That's right, you can get the JMI Nil bourbon, the bourbon that we used to help fund the players. Will Stein will get. Go to bespoken spirits dot com, bespokenspirits dot com Code Holidays for free delivery bespokenspirits dot com. You could also get birthday labels, wedding labels, all of that bespoken spirits dot com. We'll take a break.

00:34:06
Speaker 5: Maybe this has stopped. I have an update on our past. By the way, quickly, what Steven texts me that Will might remember KSR calling him Louisville's little lepre Con quarterback back in the day.

00:34:15
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, no, no, we didn't.

00:34:20
Speaker 5: I didn't say anyone in particular. I would not have called someone a le Con quarterback that was you. Okay, I'll you were really mean back then sometimes.

00:34:30
Speaker 3: Like you need it now, you got to say it to us.

00:34:31
Speaker 4: I've told the story before, but when I was thinking about running for Senate and I got the background check, most of the background check, we're Drew in Turkey that they thought I might have to answer for.

00:34:46
Speaker 5: Sorry, we don't look back. He's going to bring an exciting offense to Kentucky.

00:34:50
Speaker 4: All right, so maybe we don't bring that up at the press cop No, okay, big will Stein fanba will take a break, very bad, all right. At least it wasn't me and Drew.

00:34:59
Speaker 5: We've been cleared. We've been clear or Ryan. Actually, yeah it was it was TJ.

00:35:04
Speaker 6: TJ's the guilty party.

00:35:06
Speaker 4: TJ is the guilty party. With the post on KSR. That would have been a good guess. He was mean back then too. Now they were funny. Don't get me wrong, TJ Drew back then Turkey Hunter like they were funny. But there were things like I look back and go, I can't believe we wrote that. Somebody was talking to me about this the other day and I'm like, yeah, there are things I just can't we wrote, and uh, the aforementioned line. That was a TJ line that was I knew it wasn't me. It didn't sound like something I would do, but I was gonna own it. If I did know, I would have been much meaner. Oh my godness.

00:35:40
Speaker 6: They didn't go off one time.

00:35:42
Speaker 4: They came in during the commercial break and they said, we've we've turned that off, and they haven't.

00:35:48
Speaker 6: And it didn't go off once during the commercial break.

00:35:51
Speaker 5: You have it, thank you very much.

00:35:54
Speaker 4: One person writes, matthis the best KSR show in a decade. I love hearing you mad. That's not nice. Another person writes, it's the most chaos R thing. Every fire alarm going off NonStop is hilarious, especially right after we hired a new football coach and.

00:36:08
Speaker 6: We played North Carolina and the record.

00:36:10
Speaker 4: What if we were had him on, that's true perfect. I mean, then I might have exploded. There's traveling going on right now, which is why I invited Mitch Barnhart to come on to talk about the hire. But there's traveling going on. I'm going to assume that if they don't do the press conference tomorrow, I could get Mitch on tomorrow. I don't think they know when they're gonna do because he still has to prep for for life. So I think he's coming here, but he's not staying long because I think he has to go back.

00:36:40
Speaker 6: For practice tomorrow.

00:36:41
Speaker 5: So I think like.

00:36:42
Speaker 4: Our long form interview with him. Who knows when that'll happen. I mean it may be a bit because of the playoff.

00:36:48
Speaker 5: Well, if we can do it tomorrow, my friend Corey said he's going to snowblow his driveway if we want to come, sit there next with snowblower and interview will start to keep the steaming. We'll be at the bar Wednesday and Thursday.

00:36:59
Speaker 4: We're also at the bar today, by the way, seven o'clock for Kentucky Carolina pregame.

00:37:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's gotten lost in the shuffle ball. This the big basketball game, a.

00:37:07
Speaker 4: Huge basketball Yeah, where we're gonna be without Jaylen Lowe, Jayden Quain's and Mo Diabata.

00:37:12
Speaker 6: Yes, which kind of kind of scares me a little bit.

00:37:15
Speaker 5: I think we'll win, but I am nervous for what happens if we don't win. You believe, oh win three in significant games. Eight and a half point favorite. It dropped me. That was silly. It's down to five and a half I know Kentucky fans who bet it like, I'll just lose my money if we win by nine or more. I'll happily lose that money. That's a lot. I was shocked. He's down. Dick vi Towe's doing the game. He is doing the game tonight and next week and.

00:37:42
Speaker 6: Next week he's doing it with Charles Barkley.

00:37:44
Speaker 4: That's so think about that. Tonight we have Dick Vitaw and Jay Williams against Indiana. We have Dick Vitale and Charles Bart.

00:37:50
Speaker 6: I love it. I love it.

00:37:53
Speaker 4: Can you imagine how little the game will be talked about when Dick vital and Charles Barkley are on the car all together.

00:38:01
Speaker 5: So I don't miss a home game. I think I'm gonna stay home. I would rather listen to that in the area. It's not gonna be about the game and talking about something way different than the game.

00:38:11
Speaker 2: I mean, any game that Bill Walton never called. It was never about the game either.

00:38:15
Speaker 8: Yea.

00:38:15
Speaker 4: He didn't do a lot of ours though.

00:38:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's sign me up for it every time I got one.

00:38:21
Speaker 4: He said, they're doing two games. They're doing this one and then they're doing like Indian. No No, they're not doing the one tonight. They're doing Indye Kentucky, Indiana, and then they're doing the game a first four game in Dayton together. They're only working together twice. This is the only regular season game they're working together.

00:38:36
Speaker 5: And when when Charles would do March Madness in the past, he would just openly admit he didn't know the teams. Hopefully he does a little more research.

00:38:46
Speaker 4: He's not gonna do any research. They're not gonna have any idea. What is happening tonight, vital this is his first game of the year. Yeah, tonight again with Jay Williams.

00:38:59
Speaker 5: I can't believe they gave ifout Tell a nine thirty game. Yeah, I mean, you think he'd be in bed. Maybe maybe he wanted it.

00:39:05
Speaker 4: By the way, this is this gotta be one of the latest starts in RUP, because it really was when is Rupp had a later start because he used to be nine.

00:39:12
Speaker 6: But like, I honestly cannot remember a game starting at nine thirty or later at RUP.

00:39:18
Speaker 4: I don't either. Let's go to Will go ahead, Will.

00:39:22
Speaker 9: I'm laughing because I live in Louisville, and Louisville's like the uh, you know, smallest large town ever. When everybody asked you where you went to high school? Starting now by a conversation, but I went to Trendy knows some of Will's family. See this has been going on for a while. They actually ask him two years ago to be the OC and he turned them down. So I suspect conversation has been going on for a while.

00:39:46
Speaker 5: So let me ask you.

00:39:47
Speaker 4: And I'm not I'm not in any way, so I'm not in any way saying whatever you say is not correct. When did you get confirmed this happened?

00:39:56
Speaker 9: I didn't get confirmed about the head coach.

00:39:58
Speaker 5: I had to reach down.

00:39:58
Speaker 9: I know his uncle pretty well, and you know, a few months ago when things were going south, I said, hey, how you know can we bring him back as an OC? We need one. He said, well, actually they asked him two years ago and he turned him down. And you know, I just heard it yesterday like everybody else.

00:40:13
Speaker 5: Okay, so you actually didn't have a source. Sound like some of these folks.

00:40:16
Speaker 9: We actually shout out to Sissy Cakes because you can find them at Paul's Fruit Market and they are awesome.

00:40:23
Speaker 5: Appreciate to call. I don't know where Paul's Fruit Market is we're just not enough into this louisvillelle telling you this Trinity culture is going to be taken over over the university. It'll be wait and see.

00:40:34
Speaker 6: It is a part of Louisville that is kind of you're right, exceparate from the whole rest of the city.

00:40:39
Speaker 4: Oh it is it the Trinity And okay, fine, I'll throw insane next they don't get mad. And then the whole assumption and like all sacred heart, like that is all that is a whole thing, and it's like it's it's only thing that I was you know, I don't know.

00:40:54
Speaker 5: I was never part of that, but it is it.

00:40:57
Speaker 4: It is all over and every I mean the amount of people that were like will Stein has I know his uncle, I know his cousin, I know his sister. Like it's like, that's just that's what it is. Bobby, go ahead, Bobby.

00:41:12
Speaker 9: Hey, guys.

00:41:13
Speaker 7: So the most excited thing that I'm about will Stein, and I hope Cutter Bowl he stays because I hope he's listening. Is whenever he has a quarterback in their first year with him, that take a huge leap and efficiency. Bo Nicks went he was already efficient. He was seventy one percent before will Stein, after will Stein seventy eight percent. Same thing with Dylan Gabriel Oklahoma, he was at sixty eight percent, he went to will Stein seventy three percent. It's insane. I'm just so excited to see this QB Guru go and I just wanted to thank you all for all of y'all do thank you.

00:41:46
Speaker 4: Above the numbers. I like that. That makes me excited. I didn't know all that, so yeah, very exciting. We will talk more about will Stein Jay lenn in his live right now at Sissy k Yeah. Yeah, we will see what the scene is at Sissy Cakes and maybe we'll talk about basketball, and maybe I'll yell at this alarm again.

00:42:04
Speaker 5: We'll be right back our number two
