00:02:23
Speaker 3: I love everybody, but I may have to enforce a little bit like a trivia there's some groups that just play trivia, Shannon, and they don't buy anything. Yeah, that's really kind of not not It's like when.

00:02:34
Speaker 2: You go to a Tommedy club you see a comedian and there's like a two drink minimum or something, you know, and maybe Yeah.

00:02:38
Speaker 3: I mean like I'm not so like, you know, we we got it to order something. You can't just sit there anyway. But tomorrow night should be a lot of fun. And even if you don't get a table, I mean, well they'll be We're gonna they'll be probably standing room hopefully. I want to see. The last time we had a road atmosphere in November and December that was great was in Design Game, And I feel like I feel like this is this is kind of like that. So, Shannon, yesterday I went to the Bears. Yeah, let's talk about the positives. First of all, awesome to be there, Awesome to be there, Like for me as a Bears fan, just very cool to get to be in the first time in Soldier Field. You know, got the columns and all that Ryan the historic columns out front you walk in. I got I was invited to sit in the ESPN radio suite up in the thing, which was very very nice.

00:03:37
Speaker 4: It was great the RC Cola.

00:03:40
Speaker 3: I went. I spent about a quarter in the merchandise store. Didn't come away with as much stuff. It's like everything's weird now, Shannon, merchandise wise, you know what I mean. You can't just find a Bear shirt.

00:03:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be like different alternate logos and weird.

00:03:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like weird colors and fits and like you know shirts with the with the shoulders out and you're like, what what is this? You know, but I did get get some stuff. Then the Bears played just maybe the worst game that I've ever seen. I mean, they lost nineteen to three. There was a guy in the in the in the suite. There's a show in Chicago, Shannon called Waddle and Sylvie or Sylvie and Waddle. It's like a legendary Chicago sports radio show. Please don't tell anybody Shannon, but I'm not sure if I was talking to Wattle or Sylvie. Okay, I was talking, you know how, somebody who introduced themselves and if you don't catch it, you don't feel like you can ask them again.

00:04:40
Speaker 4: So I don't know if I was talking.

00:04:42
Speaker 3: To Wattle or Sylvie, but either way, they've both been doing it for twenty years. And he said, this is the worst Bears performance of my lifetime.

00:04:51
Speaker 4: Wow.

00:04:51
Speaker 2: Wow, And I was like, well, glad.

00:04:54
Speaker 3: Glad, this is the one I picked to be able to go to. It was awful. They were terrible, just terrible, and people booed. As we were walking out, people were chanting fire eber Flus. But it was still very cool for me to get to go. A couple things I noted. Number one, Ryan, you can talk about wind and cold, but Chicago wind and cold is.

00:05:19
Speaker 4: A different thing. Difference.

00:05:20
Speaker 3: It was fifty five degrees, It was not really cold outside.

00:05:24
Speaker 4: But when that wind kicked up, it was crazy.

00:05:30
Speaker 3: My hat flew off my head three times down the street, Like that's something you see in a cartoon, right, the hat and flies off your head three times.

00:05:39
Speaker 4: It flew down the street. I couldn't keep it on.

00:05:42
Speaker 3: It was the strongest win I've been in outside of like, you know, a major storm.

00:05:48
Speaker 4: I don't know how the people in Chicago do it.

00:05:50
Speaker 3: It was fifty five degrees and it was freezing when it's like twenty degrees, Ryan, I don't know how they do it. This is like when they caught the Windy City, Ryan. I think they knew what they were saying.

00:06:00
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. That's what it's known for. And that wind and coming off those lakes is bitter a lot of times.

00:06:06
Speaker 4: How's the crazy?

00:06:08
Speaker 2: How's the stadium itself? I mean, being a stadium in the.

00:06:10
Speaker 3: State's older, It's yeah, it's very cool, but it's clearly older, you know what I mean. But they've modernized it. The part I was in was very modern. It's clearly older.

00:06:20
Speaker 2: Aren't they trying to put a dome on that or something like that?

00:06:22
Speaker 3: Well, they've talked about building a new stadium next door that has that has a dome. But but I like it. I mean, I thought it was very nice. It's but you know, you're in an older stadium.

00:06:33
Speaker 4: But it's it is. The part I was in was still very modern.

00:06:37
Speaker 3: Now. The pregame was awesome, Like I said, probably twenty five or thirty Kentucky fans come by. There were regular fates people who listened to our show that came by. It's just cool being outside of an NFL stadium a lot of Bears fans.

00:06:54
Speaker 4: I think.

00:06:54
Speaker 3: I think it's cool to be there because a lot of people kind of see you for the first time and know who you are. I get a lot of energy just being out on the road in general, Ryan.

00:07:03
Speaker 4: So it was a great experience.

00:07:04
Speaker 3: I wish that it wasn't, according to Sylvie or Waddle, the worst game they had seen in twenty years the Bears play, but nevertheless, I still enjoyed it.

00:07:14
Speaker 1: I heard you and Myron on yesterday morning, and I got to admit it made me really really proud of you and happy for you, because I know this was a big deal to get to do an NFL kind of a pregame show on site outside of Soldier Field for your team, the Bears, and then you got to go in. So I was really hopefully you were gonna have an awesome day because you deserved it.

00:07:31
Speaker 3: Let me tell you what Myron did, Shannon, though, this I think was poor formed by Myron. Okay, so Saturday night, we go to a bar with our boss. Right, our boss was in town, so it's just me, Myron and the boss. Right, it's like a chance to kind of schmooze, you know what I mean, Like just the kind of chance to hang out. So we're sitting there, we're watching LSU Alabama. We go to a like Chicago. The part of town we were in, it's just full. You couldn't find a place anywhere. So we go in this like kind of cheap bar that has like cheap wings and we sit down and the.

00:08:04
Speaker 4: Guy comes over and he goes, what do you want?

00:08:06
Speaker 3: And our boss goes, let's get like thirty wings for us to split. So very much like a casual communal order, right, Shannon.

00:08:14
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:08:15
Speaker 3: So then the boss goes, I'll take a beer, Matt, what do you want? And I was like, die coke. And then Myron goes, what kind of vodka do you have? And the guy was like, I don't know, man, vodka And he goes, all right, I'd like a vodka and sprits, but make it like three four sprits and then put a splash of cream. He was using force. He was using force in a but like this would be like using force again, like at ten roof, like you know what I mean force who breaks things into force for drinks?

00:08:52
Speaker 4: And my boss was like you could see.

00:08:55
Speaker 3: My boss was like, okay, so this dude's a diva, right, like if he's down to fourth in a drink. I kept saying to Myron. I was like, that was a really poor decision, and he was like, well, that's just.

00:09:03
Speaker 4: How I like it.

00:09:04
Speaker 3: I feel like, when you're in a certain kind of place, you just have to say, give me a vodka and tonic and that's it.

00:09:11
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:09:11
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're breaking it down like that, if I'm the server, I'm gonna go Okay, you go behind the bar. You make it yourself.

00:09:17
Speaker 3: Exactly, Especially when the other guy had just said beer and I just said die coke. I feel like there were too many fourths and it made us look like we were like you know, steven a or.

00:09:28
Speaker 2: You have to keep that in mind though when you start cooking though, because sometimes they come in thirds and fourths, and you know when you start.

00:09:33
Speaker 3: I don't have those cops, I'll have to give them the other thing. From the weekend, during my postgame show Ryde, I watched Arkansas Yes yep.

00:09:42
Speaker 4: All right, trying to fear I had to say this nicely.

00:09:47
Speaker 1: Just say it.

00:09:49
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I just watched Kentucky play, right, so I just seen the free flowing. And when I watched Arkansas, I felt like I was going back in time. Baylor went into a zone and Arkansas looked like they had seen a walking dinosaur down the streets of Chicago. They had no idea what to do, no idea. They would just stand around, pass the ball and then throw up a three. At one point, they were zero for ten from three to start the game. Baylor got up ten at one point, Arkansas tied it, but then Baylor got up eight and Baylor.

00:10:33
Speaker 4: Ended up winning.

00:10:35
Speaker 3: Arkansas made a little late comeback, but Baylor still ended up winning. After the game, John cal Perry said, don't blame the players.

00:10:43
Speaker 4: We haven't worked on zone yet. Where have we heard that before?

00:10:48
Speaker 1: Every season?

00:10:49
Speaker 3: Every season, he said, these are just kids, They're not machines. And I felt like I was watching the last six or seven years of my basketball life flashed right before me. For all the people like myself who said maybe he'll use going to Arkansas as a chance to change, forget it. Cal is still cal They've got some good players. Boogie Flann is.

00:11:19
Speaker 4: Good, Wager's good. Theerro. By the way, I found out we've said Thierro's name wrong all these years. Did you know that I heard of?

00:11:27
Speaker 1: Apparently he's broadcast. They pronounced it different.

00:11:31
Speaker 3: Apparently he's now Thero, Thero, he's they By the way, Cale coached his dad for four years and him for two years and has been pronouncing his name wrong the entire time. Apparently it's Thero. Well, that's what they said. It's not Thierro. We've been saying that wrong for years. But he played great. I think he had twenty four points twenty four.

00:11:52
Speaker 4: But besides him, they were awful. They were awful.

00:11:58
Speaker 3: Jonas Adu, who came from Tennessee, who was great at Tennessee, played eight minutes.

00:12:03
Speaker 1: Right, Harley play.

00:12:05
Speaker 4: They don't even put him in.

00:12:07
Speaker 3: I just sat there and thought, respectfully to cow, Thank goodness that change ended up being made.

00:12:17
Speaker 1: The crazy thing is we just watched Kentucky efficient offense, execution, running plays, and then the next game you watch is Arkansas and it's the same stuff. It's like for the Groundhog Day, no execution, no offensive set plays, struggling on the offensive end, struggling to score points.

00:12:34
Speaker 4: It was.

00:12:35
Speaker 1: It was a deja vous all over again.

00:12:37
Speaker 3: I'm not just saying this. They looked absolutely flumixed when it came to the zone. Just look like they've never seen one before. I counted five possessions and five plays and six possessions where the ball did not go inside the three point line once. It was literally deja vu. Watch and then play who's up next?

00:13:01
Speaker 2: Mark?

00:13:02
Speaker 4: Mark? Go ahead and Mark?

00:13:05
Speaker 5: Hey, how are y'all doing? I'm doing great, So just excited about the game tomorrow night. But I do have a good story to tell you. My dog went missing last December first, and we were reunited on Wednesday.

00:13:22
Speaker 2: Where's it?

00:13:24
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, So he's been missing for almost ten months and how did you get reunited?

00:13:30
Speaker 5: Okay? So I saw a post on Facebook Friends of Lost Dogs of Davis County, and they had pictures of her and she was a hot mess.

00:13:42
Speaker 4: She was mad at.

00:13:43
Speaker 5: She's a shitsu, so you know, their hair grows fast. She had not been groomed for almost a year, and she had she was covered in you know what she was covered in. And a friend of mine that I work with, he saw this lost dog in the middle of the road, called her over to him and got her to get out of the road, went to get things to pick her up with, and you know, take her somewhere, and when he got back from his car, she was gone. In the meantime, a lady found her that used to volunteer at the Davis County Animal Shelter and she called her friend.

00:14:28
Speaker 3: Okay, so you ended up back with It's so that has to be like you.

00:14:33
Speaker 4: I'm sure you had.

00:14:33
Speaker 3: Thought like it it was gone forever, right.

00:14:39
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:14:40
Speaker 5: I still followed, you know, those sites and things, and we had gone out a couple of times to the animal shelter to look at dogs they had found. Have friends that shared stuff with me. But yeah, we thought Calli was gone, you know forever. I never felt like she was dead. I just thought somebody had taken her in, was taken care of her.

00:14:59
Speaker 4: Well, congratulations, that's gotta be very happy.

00:15:02
Speaker 3: I hope you you should buy both those people that saw your your your dog a meal and stuff. Thank you, and uh, congratulations, I know it's got.

00:15:12
Speaker 4: To make you happy.

00:15:13
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you so much.

00:15:16
Speaker 4: Course. Yeah.

00:15:17
Speaker 1: I love those stories when the dogs.

00:15:19

00:15:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to be a.

00:15:25
Speaker 4: Specific Facebook page. Is there one of those in every county?

00:15:29

00:17:04
Speaker 3: Walking back in this Kentucky sports radio here in Chicago, heading home after the show today. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven now, one person writes, Matt, don't forget cal also said in the press conference against baalor.

00:17:17
Speaker 4: You don't have to make all of them. You can't.

00:17:19
Speaker 3: You just can't miss all of them. Yes, he did, right, he did say that another cal ism.

00:17:24
Speaker 4: You can't. You don't have to make all of them, You just can't miss all of them.

00:17:27
Speaker 1: I found myself when I was watching the game. I mean, I was really pulling for a D and DJ and bigs didn't play a whole lot. But I mean, I don't know. I'm I maybe, like a lot of other people, we're gonna pull for those guys. But I didn't want him to win.

00:17:40
Speaker 4: So you do pull for those guys. I did.

00:17:42
Speaker 1: I was wanting them to both to play really and even I found myself pulling for Boogie Flann because he's a good player.

00:17:48
Speaker 4: I don't know, how are you rooting for them to lose? How's he rooting for him to lose? Shan? If he's rooting for every player to play.

00:17:53
Speaker 2: Good, that's a good question. I don't know how that works.

00:17:56
Speaker 4: How are they supposed to lose? If everybody plays well, you know.

00:18:00
Speaker 1: The other guys on the team have to play really bad.

00:18:03
Speaker 3: You're rooting for the other guys to play terrible. Yes, you just really hate Carter Knox.

00:18:09
Speaker 1: Carter and what Billy Richmond. I mean, there's so many.

00:18:11
Speaker 3: Carter Knox is Kevin Knox's brother. Yes, doesn't that make you want him to do well?

00:18:17
Speaker 4: I do?

00:18:17
Speaker 1: I want the guys that have a Kentucky connection.

00:18:19
Speaker 4: Now he wants everyone to do well, Shannon.

00:18:21
Speaker 3: Now he's up to so he's up to He's already wants a dude, Seed Wagner now he wants Flann to do well, and Carter Knox, So Shannon, who's left?

00:18:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, just admit that you're wearing an Arkansas hoodie right now, right, and you're pulling for the race.

00:18:35
Speaker 3: And I don't understand how you think they're gonna play badly, how they're gonna lose if all of those guys play well.

00:18:41
Speaker 1: Because the other guys have to play really really bad the other six like who so the guy guy.

00:18:46
Speaker 4: Don't get in? Who are you talking about?

00:18:48
Speaker 1: Ad in his nine minutes has got to be really really bad, so.

00:18:52
Speaker 4: You want him to be really bad in those nine minutes.

00:18:54
Speaker 1: There's a couple of dudes that they played yesterday. I didn't even know who he were, and.

00:18:59
Speaker 4: He just boo, who's the crap out of him?

00:19:02
Speaker 2: Chance, he's like, someone play Arkansas. You can't be pulling for these other guys.

00:19:05
Speaker 4: You can't.

00:19:07
Speaker 3: I thought it was when when Theiro I gotta get used to call him thero when Theiro scored, But like, I still wanted them to lose, and I wasn't going, Okay, I hope all of you play well, it's I don't know how you're gonna be able to pull that off.

00:19:22
Speaker 1: I did think that Scott Drew proved why Mitch Barnhardt was desperately trying to get him to strum, because the guy can coach. He out coach cal that.

00:19:30
Speaker 2: Whole game that they got their butt kick though against Gonzaga, right yeah.

00:19:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, forty yeah.

00:19:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, they lost by forty, So I mean it'll be interesting to see. I don't know, I don't know. Arkansas has a chance to be bad, just just throwing that out there, because they boogie Flanned is the only dude they have who's like an elite, elite player, and you know they're not gonna be adjusted at all, as we saw against Bayley.

00:19:58
Speaker 4: Who's up next?

00:19:59
Speaker 2: Lee?

00:20:00
Speaker 4: Lee? What's up? Lee?

00:20:03
Speaker 7: Man?

00:20:03
Speaker 4: How you doing doing good?

00:20:07
Speaker 7: Hey? Listen? Uh Kles still working on his in bounds play too. And I won't Argustas to lose every game they play. All right, I've got a couple of quick comments, and then I got an over and under. I would like to ask y'all to come in on the first thing is I was rocking. I was rocking in Richmond in nineteen seventy four. Through seventy eight on Thursday night, and it was wild, believe.

00:20:31
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, Well, of these days I'm gonna tell that Richmond story.

00:20:33
Speaker 1: Right.

00:20:34
Speaker 4: I don't know what it's gonna be but one day, but go ahead, all right.

00:20:38
Speaker 7: And then I've got two trash talkers. They're six foot under. Jay Shadler was one and one of y'all that y'all know about his Travis Ford was the other. In high school, he was a real trash talker.

00:20:50
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, Travis, what Travis is a good one? Travis was a trash talker.

00:20:55
Speaker 3: It was quieter at Kentucky than he was at Missouri, and then he was as a coach, but he certainly was a trash talker.

00:21:02
Speaker 7: He was in high school too. I think you tuck your beat Duke by five. And then my last, this last, my over an under question, over and under eleven wins by Louisville.

00:21:17
Speaker 4: Oh they'll go over that. They'll go over that. They'll they'll they'll be yeah, yeah, they'll be Uh, they'll.

00:21:24
Speaker 3: Be a bubble team for the tournament. I don't think they're awful. I mean they they Tennessee is good. I think it gave them a humbling and I appreciate the call. I think he got a humbling But the ACC. First of all, the ACC is not great. You know, I was talking about this the other day on on ESPN, But the ACC is not the ACC that we think of. I mean, get past Ryan Duke in North Carolina and give me a good team in the ACC this year.

00:21:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, recently it's been Miami, but they're not very good anymore.

00:21:58
Speaker 3: And if you look at Louisville's schedule, I want you to go look at Louisville schedule. They play six top twenty five teams in the next six weeks, but then Shannon, they don't play another one all year.

00:22:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they don't. So they they have a really hard start to the schedule.

00:22:16
Speaker 3: They play US, play Indiana, play Old miss uh, somebody else, Michigan or somebody, and then they play Duke and Carolina are like two of their first three ACC games. But then they don't play them again, and then everybody else they play is not very good. So I think they're gonna start the season like they might be like four and eight, but then or five and eight or whatever. But then they actually could finish the season pretty good because of the way you.

00:22:46
Speaker 2: Think they'll rally. I mean, you're right. With the ACC being what it is, they'll they'll probably be right there at the end of the year on a you know, maybe last four team out or something like that.

00:22:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's where they're gonna be. They're gonna they're gonna be. I think Pat Kelsey is a good coach. I just don't think they have to be honest with any players. I don't think they have guys that are guys that are very good. But the ACC stinks. The best two conferences in basketball by far now are the Big Twelve in SEC. The new Big Twelve is a great basketball conference with Houston, Baylor, Arizona, Kansas. That's a really good BYU Cincinnati. That's a really good basketball conference. We'll take a break. Talk more about the Katz and Duke coming up tomorrow. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:23:35
Speaker 2: TJ Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

00:23:38
Speaker 4: He'll make them pay.

00:23:39
Speaker 2: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:45
Speaker 3: Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. A five, nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. Somebody just sent me this stat just came out uh Shannon from the website Long Love, Long Love Lawn, I don't know what that is. Do you think with no knowledge of long Love, I guess it could be a place that you learn how to take care of your long Okay, it could also be a place to learn how to have love on.

00:24:12
Speaker 2: Your life sarch history regardless.

00:24:15
Speaker 3: But Long Love ranked the best states in America to have a hobby farm.

00:24:22
Speaker 4: Do you know what a hobby farm is?

00:24:24
Speaker 2: Like a garden in your backyard.

00:24:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like like not a professional farm, but like a farm for like a backyard chicken coop or a vegetable garden.

00:24:33
Speaker 4: And Kentucky is ranked.

00:24:34
Speaker 1: Number one nice.

00:24:36
Speaker 3: As the best state because of large backyards, farm veterinarians, and very few restrictions by law for hobby farming. Also, Kentucky has fewer bird flu cases than any state in America.

00:24:54
Speaker 4: Did you know that?

00:24:55
Speaker 2: No, I didn't know that.

00:24:56
Speaker 1: Learned something every day.

00:24:57
Speaker 3: So as we were talking about hobbies, I said, I wasn't gonna do a garden. But it turns out, Ryan, I live in the best state for a garden.

00:25:05
Speaker 4: In America, which I did not know that I did.

00:25:08
Speaker 1: So they're saying not just raising plants, isn't in a garden, but also animals, I think.

00:25:14
Speaker 3: So it says a chicken coop, so that's an animal, so I would think so yeah, So there we go. So hobby farms. According to long Love, this is the best place to do it. Another positive Kentucky thing. Shannon John Oliver on HBO used Lexington last night as an example in his show of a city that is the best for all types of people to live in, that basically has one of the most diverse types of populations that gets along in the United States.

00:25:47
Speaker 2: How about that? Yeah, Lexington is a great place. I mean, I don't live there like you guys do, but it's definitely diversified. As he's still to have it.

00:25:55
Speaker 3: But like saying like you could be his point was you could be liberal, you could be conservative, you could be anything in Lexington and still have a good life, which he said, may we're getting away from in other parts.

00:26:09
Speaker 4: Ryan, I thought that was neat for Lexington, right.

00:26:12
Speaker 1: I don't think Lexton gets enough credit for that. So yeah, glad to see him kind of recognize that we are a very diverse city. Than it's very proud of what we are in Lexington.

00:26:20
Speaker 3: So we can be proud of who ourself is according to according to according to that seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. One person writes, Matt, You'll always say that Mark Pope hasn't done anything incorrect. If you had to pick one thing that you wish Mark Pope had done differently going into this duke game and his tenure.

00:26:43
Speaker 4: What would it be? Wow? I mean you really would be nitpicking here. What is something that you think Mark Pope could have done differently?

00:26:55
Speaker 2: I know what some of our fans are gonna say, what's that play the Kentucky guys more?

00:27:00
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, there are fans who would say that that's probably right.

00:27:04
Speaker 4: Okay, So that's an answer, you.

00:27:09
Speaker 3: Know, man, I don't know, Like, I don't know. I'm somebody who tries to be like, look at both sides. I can't think of what the anti Hope argument would even be, Ryan, can you think of something?

00:27:28
Speaker 4: Well?

00:27:29
Speaker 1: Personally, I wish he would have used me as his realtor. That would have been a nice paycheck.

00:27:32
Speaker 4: But that's just selfish for you the fan base.

00:27:37
Speaker 1: Only thing I can think of, I know, there was just a little pushback that some of the guys you hired his staff maybe should have hired some other guys on his staff that were Kentucky connected. I just that's what's it about, though.

00:27:50
Speaker 4: I mean like those those yeah, I mean I do. I don't buy that at all. I think the.

00:27:54
Speaker 3: Whole hiring because he went to UK is a good way for people who don't get jobs elsewhere.

00:28:01
Speaker 4: To want a job. I'm just being real.

00:28:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, name name me a great assistant out there that went to that that we don't have that's from Kentucky that we think Mark Pope should hire.

00:28:15
Speaker 4: Most people want him to hire. I mean Tyler Us he tried to hire. Yeah, he tried, Tyler went to Arkansas.

00:28:22
Speaker 3: But a lot of times people want him to just hire somebody that's not even in coaching to come do it. And why would you do that. You want to have the best staff in the country. You go get the best staff in the country. You don't just get guys who are like looking to break into the business.

00:28:37
Speaker 4: That's what That's what easter, you know. I I don't know.

00:28:42
Speaker 3: Maybe you would say, like bring back camp out, but I don't know, man, I think he's done again. I'm saying all this because if we lose by twenty five to Duke, she't none of this will matter anyway, right different, But I think going into that dude game, I'm not sure what else at this point he could have done.

00:29:03
Speaker 4: Who's next?

00:29:04
Speaker 2: Call five hundred and eighteen from Bob and Jamestown.

00:29:09
Speaker 3: Bob and Jamestown, we have a question for you, Bob. The last time you were on the show was called five hundred and thirteen. Shannon says that this is called five hundred and eighteen, which means you've called five times Bob when we're not on the air.

00:29:26
Speaker 4: So when are you calling? I don't know, man, Well, we certainly don't know.

00:29:33
Speaker 3: I mean the computer, but the computer says that you have called five times, just like when we're not on the air. So like, do you call it night.

00:29:43
Speaker 4: No? No?

00:29:46
Speaker 2: On the show you call coaches shows? Maybe?

00:29:49
Speaker 4: Oh so coaches shows? That might be what it is. Do you call the coaches show, Bob or the pregame show?

00:29:56
Speaker 8: Yeah?

00:29:56
Speaker 4: There, Yeah, Okay, that's that's what it.

00:29:58
Speaker 2: We solved it.

00:29:59
Speaker 4: That solves the problem. What do you got, Bob?

00:30:02
Speaker 3: The reds rolled out the literal red carper honoring Pete Rose yesterday. But that's what you I feel like if I call five hundred and seventeen would have been connected.

00:30:23
Speaker 4: Are you out on the lake, Bob? Where are you? I'm here now looking at it the lake. The beautiful day down here today.

00:30:33
Speaker 9: It's a good day to be on the lake. Anyway.

00:30:37
Speaker 4: What's gonna happen with Duke? You're breaking up? All right? I appreciate it, Bob.

00:30:42
Speaker 3: I don't know how you got from We missed the connection from the Reds to Douke.

00:30:46
Speaker 4: So what do we think is gonna happen?

00:30:48
Speaker 3: I mean, we're gonna pick the game tomorrow, right, I think I'm starting to convince myself we're gonna win. I was ready to pick like a five to seven point loss. I am starting I think I'm now going to pick us to win the game. Ryan, I'm starting to feel confident.

00:31:03
Speaker 1: How can you not be excited about what you've seen from this Kentucky team. I mean, they're just they're fun to watch. They score a lot of points, and many many guys can score. You know, I don't have to rely on just a couple of guys. The big thing. They've got a big point guard and they've got you know, big Cooper flag. So can we contain those two guys that'll be the probably the key to the game.

00:31:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, who's gonna guard Cooper Flag is an issue? And I think that'll be that there aren't a lot of dudes like him in college basketball, So I don't but but you know, that's gonna be a problem for us. Who guards who guards Cooper Flag? But beyond that, I don't know, Shannon. I feel like I don't feel like there's any way we.

00:31:41
Speaker 4: Don't score in this game. Yeah, you know.

00:31:44
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I feel good at least knowing that we're gonna go in and have a game plan. It's not gonna be let's just throw some things out there and see what see what sticks. You know that Mark polp has looked at every you know, side of analytics that you can look at going into this game. So I feel like, regardless of the outcome, we're gonna be prepared. So I'm not too concerned about the game.

00:32:02
Speaker 3: And I also know he is going to take this game seriously. Oh yeah, this is a game he wants to win. This is not just a test to see where we are and to like get the young guys experience. Mark Pope wants to win this game. He cares about winning this game like we do.

00:32:24
Speaker 4: Yes, he yes. That to me is very exciting.

00:32:28
Speaker 3: It's very exciting to think that there's a guy who wants in his soul to beat Duke as much as I want us to beat Duke, and that that is going to be refreshing. That it's going to be a November game where we play like it's a March game.

00:32:45
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:32:45
Speaker 1: Like Shannon said, they're gonna be ready if Duke throws his own at him. Okay, this codugtym will be ready for anything that Duke throws at him.

00:32:52
Speaker 2: Who's next, Let's go to Shane, Shane.

00:32:55
Speaker 4: How are you, Shane?

00:32:57
Speaker 6: I'm doing great, so I start listing you. Right when Cal that whole col situation got fired and everything, well, yeah, I went tartansall, so this wo makes it a great started a new job bartending downtown Dallas, and I knew Baylor was in town, so I didn't wear my TCU hoodie and I just grabbed his blue hoodie from an old school I was coaching at. Well it was a UK. Well, right, when I walk in the door, the first two people I see is Kenny Payne and John Col and it was the UK.

00:33:32
Speaker 4: And Cal looked at me.

00:33:34
Speaker 6: Kenny looked and just pushed cal along, and I was just like, this is too funny to be true.

00:33:38
Speaker 4: Wait a minute. You walked into what you say you walked into where?

00:33:41
Speaker 7: Where?

00:33:41
Speaker 4: Did to the game or to somewhere? Hotel?

00:33:43
Speaker 6: Hotel? Excuse me, hotel?

00:33:45
Speaker 3: So you were in the Arkansas hotel and you had a UK hoodie.

00:33:51
Speaker 4: UK hoodieyard Wow, sweet, I love.

00:33:56
Speaker 3: I gotta say. I mean, I know it's petty, I guess, but I kind of like it. I'm not gonna like and you weren't doing it intentionally.

00:34:03
Speaker 7: It just kind of happened, just kind of happened, And the only thing I wanted to say was go big Blue.

00:34:08
Speaker 6: But I just like, I'm not gonna give it to him, Like.

00:34:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably. Yeah, you shouldn't like be in his face, go big Blue. I think that's fair. I think you handled it right. You're gonna be my whiskey thief call the day. I appreciate the call. Yeah, I don't think you should be like in his face. I think that's a little much. He doesn't deserve that. But you know, having the UK shirt is not the worst thing in the world. I ended up chating I had tickets offered to me for Tennessee Louisville. Yeah, I almost went, but then I was like, I don't know what I'd do. I can't cheer for either one of them.

00:34:45
Speaker 4: But it was over.

00:34:48
Speaker 3: I needed to get to Chicago with time to do the post game show, so I I what.

00:34:52
Speaker 4: I didn't think it was gonna work out, but I almost mean, if.

00:34:54
Speaker 2: You need a Louisvill chicket, I don't think they'll be that hard to get this year.

00:34:57

Speaker 3: February first is gonna be quite a day here now, gonna let's see you EF. I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four Shannon. Tonight, if the Miami Dolphins lose, the state of Florida will be zero and twelve in football this weekend.

00:36:15
Speaker 4: Wow.

00:36:17
Speaker 3: Every Florida college lost and every Florida pro team has lost. So if Miami loses tonight, the state of Florida will be oh and twelve and as far as they can tell, that's the worst weekend of football any state has ever had in the history of pro and college football.

00:36:37
Speaker 4: Wow.

00:36:37
Speaker 2: I mean think about that. Of all the teams and all the years, the worst ever.

00:36:44
Speaker 3: Worst ever, none of them will have won. And only one team, Florida International, didn't play. So you have a chance to beate. They didn't play, but otherwise it would be ryan a clean sweep of awfal for the state that produces the most football.

00:37:01
Speaker 4: Players outside of Texas in the entire country.

00:37:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Florida got destroyed by Texas. Florida State is really bad. Jacksonville is not really that good. That's crazy. They could be oh and twelve if they have Dolphins lose time.

00:37:14
Speaker 3: I was gonna see if he could name all of them, Shannon, you know, when he started out there.

00:37:18
Speaker 4: I was gonna see, let's seehim and he can get. Okay, how many other how many of the twelve can you get?

00:37:26
Speaker 1: I will go with the three. I just said, Florida, Florida State, Jacksonville, Florida International to do it?

00:37:30
Speaker 4: Florida, Well, I just said they didn't play, all right, So who else?

00:37:33
Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic, Central, Florida, South Florida six. Uh, that will be another one. Stetson did they have a football team.

00:37:48
Speaker 3: I don't know if Stetson's one of them. I mean, I guess Shandony could be.

00:37:52
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:37:54
Speaker 3: I actually don't have the list. All right, Jacksonville. What about the other team in the NFL.

00:38:01
Speaker 1: The Dolphins? They said they played tonight I know, but there's another one. Oh, there's another one. Uh Miami, your parents lived in that boneers.

00:38:19
Speaker 4: Well done? All right, well you got seven. That was pretty good.

00:38:22
Speaker 2: I guess, uh football, right.

00:38:26
Speaker 4: No, it's just football, just football. There's seven.

00:38:29
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know what the other ones are in, uh in football.

00:38:33
Speaker 2: Florida basketball. Maybe maybe I'm wrong.

00:38:37
Speaker 3: It's it's just it's just football. They lost. I do not know off the top of my head what the what the other ones were. Do you are you like me Sharton that you will believe Kansas City is going to win for eternity? Yeah, I mean they basically thirty five yard field goal to beat them, and then they go and block it.

00:38:55
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:38:56
Speaker 2: I feel like there's just maybe it's the Taylor Swift effect. I don't know what are I mean, obviously they've got great players.

00:39:02
Speaker 4: How do they win these games? It's unbelievable.

00:39:04
Speaker 3: Dan Orlovsky, though, showed you should look up this video my former radio codes dan Orlovsky so as they were so they kick field goals during the game. Go watch the there were four field goals by Denver. On the first field goal, This dude, that's like the left guard Shannon they hit him on the field goal and he goes flying back, and Orlovsky said, all of a sudden, the Chiefs are like, oh, maybe there's something here. The next time, they lined two guys against that guy and they knock him back again and he goes flying back, and Orlovsky was like, then they see this guy may be a weak link. The next play they line.

00:39:42
Speaker 4: Three guys on him, all right.

00:39:45
Speaker 3: And they get through. They don't block it, but they get through and they come close. And then the next time they line three guys again and this time they get through and block the kick. They were like, the special teams coach of the Chiefs, whoever it is on the first kick, noticed that whoever was playing left guard for Denver on those special teams for whatever reason, was weak and they exploited it, and then Ryan it ended up leading to the block kick at the end. That's coaching right there, right. I don't know who noticed it, but they found it and that's what ended up leading to the block.

00:40:14
Speaker 1: Max Duffie's so proud of you right now talking about special teams coaches and how special till I.

00:40:18
Speaker 3: Mean, I don't know, but I mean I watched Dan's video and he showed and it was the same guy in every video. He just keeps getting blown up every time. And then when they blocked the kick, it's because they came through him yet again.

00:40:30
Speaker 2: The next time, they were just chipping away all throughout the game and then pain and it.

00:40:36
Speaker 3: Paid off and they ended up blocking the final kick. Who's next, Davis, Davis? Go ahead, Davis, how's it going?

00:40:43
Speaker 4: Matt doing good?

00:40:44
Speaker 8: Looking forward to this Duke game. It kind of makes me think of the Tennessee game at Tennessee last year when Dalton Connects went off for forty points and made one hundred threes. Yeah, I'm not really that scared of Cooper Flag because I mean, he's just gonna do a thing anyways. So I just feel like we need.

00:41:03
Speaker 9: To focus on their other.

00:41:05
Speaker 3: Players, but don't connect twenty two years old, right, he was not one of the national players of the year. He had he was at home, he was in that environment. I feel like this is different this, you know we talk about for us. This is Cooper Flagg's first big stage as well.

00:41:20
Speaker 9: Yeah, but like people are saying like he's the biggest high score recruits in Zion, and well, Ye're just they're not they're not giving enough flowers to the other Duke players, and that's like, I don't want us to overlook the their other players and only focus on Cooper like we should. Just I'm not sure who's going to defend him right now. I guess Amari Williams could play the first couple of minutes against him and see how that works.

00:41:47
Speaker 8: But I'm also.

00:41:48
Speaker 9: Excited to see how Kerr plays against dude because he showed so much passion against uh Buck now, but I mean, we'll see.

00:42:00
Speaker 3: Well, let me say I agree with you. I appreciate the call. They've got a lot of good players. They're good, and we're gonna have to play really well. But I like the fact that Kentucky's gonna be the one that's the underdog. The whole coverage for ESPN is gonna be about Cooper Flag. So just so you know, don't get worked up. ESPN's gonna be promoting Duke and Flag the whole time. They got their whole season riding on promoting him. But if we can go in and win, we get to be in the role of the underdog, something we've almost never gotten to do.

00:42:31
Speaker 4: We get to do this time, go to Don Franklin Otto.

00:42:33
Speaker 3: If you need a vehicle and a great selection, great service, great prices. There's set twenty seven locations around the state. There's one near you. Look on Don Franklin auto dot com, find the vehicle that's for you, and then go and get it from Don Franklin. Tomorrow we will be in the bar at ten am for the show. The women play at six o'clock tomorrow. The men's game will start about nine to fifteen. Should be an awesome day for Kentucky. We'll see you then. Kentucky Sports Radio
