• 0:12

• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Michael Bennett on this Monday, October 5th. I hope everybody
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: had a great weekend as we get you ready for
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: another week of, you know, another football game coming up
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a little a little later on this week, so we'll
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: talk about that, but a lot going on, a lot
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: happening over the weekend, and we're going to take the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: next two hours to talk about it. If you want

  Speaker 1: live to you on the YouTube channel, Big X Sports Radio.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: What is it, Louisville?
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, I don't say it much, but I need
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to say it a little more. But, Justin, good morning.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Did you have a good weekend? I had a great weekend.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Did you? It was tremendous.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: A lot of sports, a lot of family time mixed
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: in there as well. So, yeah, I'm never going to
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: complain with a weekend like that. Yeah, this is the
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: best part. I mean, you've got hockey going on, which
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: has just started last week. You've got baseball playoffs going on,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: which is usually my favorite time of year. And then
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: you've got football going on. And it's just like you've
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: got three major sports all at one time, and it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Makes it fun. I cannot pay attention to hockey. Yeah,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I watched part of one game, and that
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: was enough.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I will pay attention to hockey once baseball's up. I
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: get it. I don't have the brainpower to do college football, NFL, MLB, NHL.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I can't do it. Yeah, it's almost too much.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I don't want to drive myself crazy trying. It's best
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: for me if I just let hockey go. And then
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I'll come back, revisit, and you're probably about a month
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: or two.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Listen, I get it. I mean, it's almost too much
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: for the brain because you're right. It's overstimulating because you've
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: got so many sports going on at one time. And
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I have to say, watching baseball– Well, watching my Tampa
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Bay Rays play right now. That was incredible. That was
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a great game. I mean, Justin, it was incredible. So
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: but well, we won't talk about that much because, you know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I'm probably the only Rays fan in this area, which
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: is which is fine. I did watch that game from
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: basically start to end. Oh, you did?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I think I picked it up in, like, the fourth
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: inning when I saw on Twitter that Rasmussen had a no-hitter.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was awesome. And I was like, oh, I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: got to tune in for this. Oh, yeah.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: And then when it was broken up in the eighth,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I was so bummed out. Yeah, but it's okay. I mean,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: what a game he pitched.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great. The one player for the Yankees
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: that was trying to make a double into a triple
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and the right fielder for the Rays threw that bullet
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: of a throw way deep. And got him out in
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: third base was awesome. Can I just say, I know
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that officially goes down as a hit. Yes, it does.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: But with him getting thrown out, I don't know. I
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: was pretty peeved that that does go down as a
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: hit because it ended the inning. And the next thing
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: you know, you'd be going to the ninth with him
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: having a no hitter. And that wasn't the case.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: That sucks. Oh, I see what you're saying. No, it
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is because it was his choice to try and make
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: it a triple. Yeah, what a moron, by the way.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: He really was. I mean. Thrown out by a mile. Oh, yeah.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: It wasn't even close. But you never know. I mean,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: do you take the chance or do you not? It's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: already two outs. So why not take the chance? I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: like it. I mean, because we're going to talk about
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: somebody taking the chance in a couple of minutes. But
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you and I both called it. Uh, which I, I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: tell you what, watching the first half of UK football
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and seeing it down 17, nothing. I was blaming you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and me. I was not, I was, I was gambling
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: at that point. Oh, you were? Oh yeah. I put
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a money line bet on Kentucky.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Explain to me what you did then. So, I bet
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Kentucky to win when you all were down 17. Did
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you really? The only issue with that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: The only issue with that is I was also watching
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: the Louisville game at the same time.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And I threw Louisville to win in with Kentucky to win.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, no. In with it. So, you didn't win. So,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't win. Oh, you're killing me if you just
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: kept it Kentucky. Because I can tell you, I would
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: have probably done the same. No, I wouldn't have done
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the same thing you did. I would have put the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: money on UofL to win. and UK to lose. Because
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: at that point, it's like, I mean, I have grown
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: up with UK football my entire life. And I've seen
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: this story written so many times. And it's the same
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: old thing on repeat. It's almost like watching Bill Murray
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: on Groundhog Day. It's just the same day every day.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And it's like, here we go again. There's no way
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: they're coming back. But UK, do you realize this? UK
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: scored four touchdowns with two field goals over the last
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: nine drives of the game.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Whew.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: How do you like that? UK did this only getting
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: 105 yards and 3.9 yards per rush. That's just nothing
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: short of amazing right there. They were 4 of 14
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: with 28% on third down, which is terrible. And then
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Minchie goes for 28, 41, 272 yards, 6.6 yards per
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: attempt with three TDs in passing. Dude is just so poised.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: He really is. Here's the other part. Zero turnovers. I mean,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that to me right there alone is huge. What is he?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Does he have one interception this year? I believe one.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Just one, right? Yeah. And that was against Alabama, wasn't it,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I believe. Oh, yeah. It was the bad one. Oh, yeah. Horrible.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: How could I forget about that? UK turned a 17-point
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: deficit to a 20-17 lead in less than six minutes. I,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: that's just, that's just, I mean, I, let me read
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that again. UK turned a 17 point deficit to a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: 20 to 17 lead in less than six minutes. How
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: crazy is that? It was awesome. And you know, the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: South Carolina fans, there had to be a bunch of
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: them that were saying, thank goodness. And then there were
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: just others that were in just. If you watched it
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: on TV. Oh, it was hilarious. The fan base was just.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: They look in utter shock.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: They went from super excited to Kentucky scores. And they're like, oh,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: this isn't ideal. To Kentucky takes the lead. And they
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: all just look sad. It was hilarious watching their fans.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Then there was some little girl out there
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: that had a T-shirt that said, shut the blank up. Yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: what's up with that? So you saw that?
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: That picture was wild. There was so much going on
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: in that.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: How old?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, exactly. There was a lot.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: He had the dude crying. I'm so curious why he
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: was bawling his eyes out. Like his girlfriend just broke
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: up with him. Evidently, yeah. She said, if UK wins
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: this game, we're dead. That's what she said. I mean, yeah,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: that relationship was over.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it was because he read the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: T-shirt of the little girl behind him. Maybe that was it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: How old was that girl? 12? If that. And she
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: was wearing a T-shirt like that? I mean, that's pure class.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Let me just say this. All right.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I am not convinced that it was the F word.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: If you look at the picture, her T-shirt where you
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: would see the end of the F It's kind of
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: crumpled up. So I think there's a possibility that maybe
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: it was a hockey shirt and it said shut the
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: puck up. That was my initial thought. Because I was like,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: there's no way a little girl is wearing a shirt
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: that says that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I was with you. Yeah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: But if you look at it again, you can't really
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: see the end of the F. So I don't really
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: want to assume that's what it says.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on, man. It looks like it, but the way,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: are you looking at it right now? I'm looking at
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it right now. I am zooming all the way in.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Couldn't you see that being a P? Yes, but it
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: looks like the bottom line or the line right in
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the middle that forms the F. It looks like an F. Yeah, no,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I'm with you.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: But I mean, a P and an F are going
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: to look the exact same.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Not like this. I'll have to relook. Yeah. Listen, I
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: got it right here. When we're at break, I'll have
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: you come over here. And I've zoomed all the way in. Yeah.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: She's got to be eight or nine. I mean, that's
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: not on her, though. That's bad parenting.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: It's not her. But, I mean, that's just some wild stuff. And, yeah,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the dude is totally. It's a UK fan that's just. No,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I think he's laughing. No, he's not. I think he's laughing.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: He is so sad. Is he really? Oh, I mean,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: he's crying.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: No question. And then the older guy above with the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Kentucky jersey, he looks like he told the little girl
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to shut the blank up. I mean, the way he's looking.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: This is a wild picture. I could just go through
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: this and evaluate every person in this. I did yesterday.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Did you really? Oh yeah.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, I studied this picture for probably minutes.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, what the hell's going on? This is a
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: mixture of all kinds of UK fans and South Carolina
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: fans mixed together. And it's just crazy. I mean, it is.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's, it's half UK fans and half South
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Carolina fan, by the way, Can I throw a shout-out
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to all the U.K. fans that went to Columbia over
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the weekend? There was a bunch, again. That was a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: huge– I never dreamed there would– well, all right, Texas
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: A & M, big crowd. Never dreamed that many would
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: go down there. And then going down to the South
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Carolina game, I think it was even bigger crowd. Oh, yeah.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, the blue-white chants on TV were ridiculously loud.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, exactly. But anyway, it's just unbelievable. So credit
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to them for heading down there, seeing a fantastic game.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy for them. Uh, we're going to talk
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: about this for a better part of this hour. And
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: if you want to join, you can text me at 502-414-1450.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Or you can tweet me at just the cat radio. Uh,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, um, The defense showed up when it needed
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: to show up. Now, granted, I didn't think the defense
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: played that great. They could not contain South Carolina's quarterback again.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: That was like vintage Lenora Sellers.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: It was. He looked really, really good. He did. In
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: that first half. Not so much the second half. Not
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: so much. But, yeah, the first half, he looked awesome.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: But every time they went for a fourth down, they
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: couldn't do anything with it. I mean, I thought that
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: was crazy. Yeah. And did you ever think UK at
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: this point would already have two road wins? No.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: On account of they already have four total wins, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: that's what I had them go in on the season.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And their only loss is at home. Yeah. That's the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: other part. I just, well, I don't know what to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: say about this, but it has been so much fun
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to watch this. And the only other coach that has
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: started his– First season at UK, 4-1, was one other person.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Only two coaches at UK have ever done this. Do
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you know who the other coach was? I would say... Hmm.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Bill Curry.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's... And by the way, that's a terrible guess.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I know. He was horrible, right? That was horrible. Oh, yeah.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Bear Bryant.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Okay. Yeah.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Bear Bryant is the only other coach that has started
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: their career at Kentucky 4-1.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: I mean....
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Is this team fun to watch?
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Very much so. Yeah. And it's now to a point where,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: who said it? I know it's a basketball thing, but
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: these are the comeback cats. Oh, it was Will Stein
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: that said it. Yeah, he said it.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which I thought was fun. He was about to
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: cry in his interview, wasn't he?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Well, he was emotional. I mean, I do. I love every,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: after every win, he goes and hugs his mom and dad.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: He looked like he was about to cry.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I just, cause I think he's genuine. Well, all right.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: All right. Interpret that. Do you think he's surprised or
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: do you think he's just elated that everything he said
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: was going to happen in this hat is now coming
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to fruition? I think it's a little bit of both.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, more so the fact that he's at his,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: what many people would consider his dream job.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: And it's started off this well in a season where
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: all you heard about in the off season was how
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: hard the schedule is. And, how few of games you're
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: going to win, not because of what you can do,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: but because of the schedule. And he just completely flipped
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: the script. And he said, well, we're going to come
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: in here. We're going to win games because of me,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: not to use that quote again, but because of me,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: we're going to win games. And so far at four
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: and one, I mean, it's, it's been ridiculously impressive and
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: that sets up a fun, fun atmosphere for this weekend. Imagine,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: just imagine Michael S here next Monday, uh, Talking about
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: a win over LSU.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Five and one.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, at that point. We can't get too far
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: ahead of ourselves yet.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: At that point, though, what will the season have become?
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: What can you start dreaming of? Like, it's just been
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: insane what's happened so far through five weeks.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Honestly, UK beating South Carolina was the biggest story of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the weekend. No offense to Minnesota beating Michigan for the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: first time in forever. We'll talk about that in a
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: little bit. But no offense to anybody else out there.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: UK beating South Carolina being down 17-0 was the biggest
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: story of the weekend. Do we believe in this team yet?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: You do? Yeah.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I'm almost there. Because, you know, if you remember my prediction,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I'll fully and readily admit it right now. I said
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: only two wins. Wait, that's all you had? All I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: had down was two wins. When we were at Commonwealth Stadium,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: we had Larry Vaught and John Wong. I think it
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: was John Wong who said eight wins. Larry said six,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: if not seven wins. And I was laughing to myself.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Inside my brain. It's like, what are you thinking?
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's all I did all offseason when I saw
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: people projecting eight wins.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now it's like they look more right than I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: ever was. Exactly. And I look like an idiot. Well,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I always look like one. But, I mean, this is
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: just crazy what is happening here at UK. But anyway,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's fun. I'm excited about it. We're going
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. I want to hear from you.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: 502-414-1450. 502-384-1450.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: You want to call in. We're going to take– how
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: do you like this? We're going to take our first break.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Woo-hoo.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right there on time. So we'll take our first break.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Stay right there. A lot more of Just the Cats
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: coming right up.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Lord, I was born a ramblin' man.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Tryin' to make a livin' and do it.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: The best I can When it's time for leavin' I
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: hope you'll understand That I was born a ramblin' man
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Early in the evening Just about supper time Over by
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the courthouse They're starting to unwind.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: So you mean to tell me you had no problem
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: believing that UK was going to come back and win
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: this game even though they were down 17 to nothing? Yeah,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I told you all week last week they're going to
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: win this game. I just don't get it. Yeah, and
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you believing that. When UK went down 17
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: to nothing, I completely turned it off. I'm like, I'm done.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: This is so disappointing because I know this team is
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: better than South Carolina. In so many different ways.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Steve Perry. So, but credit to you
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: for that. I just, I did. But I mean, is
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: it a little easier because you're not really a UK
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: fan that you could say something like that? What if
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: this was IU and they were down 17? Would you
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: still have that kind of confidence? I would have done
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the exact same thing. Would you really? Okay. No question.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: All right then. Because for me, and this is a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: huge compliment to Will Stein. Yes. It's all about coaching.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: And what I've seen out of Will Stein so far,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I have no reason to doubt him.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I really don't.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I know he's never done it before, but week in
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: and week out, looks like he has.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: It really does. I mean, he has an aura, such
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: a confidence out there. Here's the part I think is refreshing.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: He even criticized himself. I didn't do a good job
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: at the time. Yeah, I did a bad job at
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the clock. Mm-hmm. And I love that. I love that
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: he criticized himself because I think, kind of feel like
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: he heard a lot of the UK fans complaining Mark
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Stoops for the last few years that could not do
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: a good job with time management. And here's Will Stein. Yeah,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't do a good job with the clock. I just,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I think that's fantastic. Halftime adjustments have been refreshing because,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: oh my goodness, we can make adjustments and they can
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: be successful? Yeah. Are you kidding me? Here's the other
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: thing that's a huge spotlight. tight ends can catch footballs. Well, yeah, exactly.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It's like, that is so much fun. We have good,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: we've always had really good tight ends, but to absolutely
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: see the quarterback, Kenny Minchie, pass to a tight end
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and they catch the ball has been the greatest thing ever.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's all we talked about on Friday. Like
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: you knew that was going to be part of the
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: game plan with the injury to the wide receiver room.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Yes. but love seeing it come to fruition. All right.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Do you like that? He hadn't had no hesitation and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: went for two at the time. I didn't. Exactly. I
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: hated it.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: That being said, starting with the second overtime, he would
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: have had to go for two anyways.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: And Kentucky was getting the ball first. So that makes
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: it even more of a high pressure situation.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: So, I don't know.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: After reevaluating, I thought, okay, that's what it takes. If
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: you want to be known as a great head coach
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: in year one, you've got to do stuff like that.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: And it's going to fail sometimes. You're not always going
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: to get away with making decisions like that. But he
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: didn't this time, so it's easy to look back at
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: it and think, that was the right decision.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Well done. I had so many– I mean, my phone
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: blew up after the game was over. And I would
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: have to say majority of the people that were texting
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: me were my non-UK fan friends. And they were like,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I like Will Stein. The fact that he went for
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: two was awesome. And I'm like, yeah, it's only good
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: when it works. I wonder where we would be today.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: If it failed. If it had failed.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: How do you think we would have felt? It would
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: have been a loss. It had been a loss we
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have lost do you feel like uh what if
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: he just gone for one let's just play another overtime
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: so i don't know i mean he's a hero today
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: i'm gonna tell you right now but my goodness uh
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: i i can look at it right now and say
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: it was awesome and And I loved his reaction after
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the game. He is jumping up and down. And then
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: here comes a young lady, come over and interview him
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: and ask the question, what's going through your mind right now?
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, I'm going to need you to, moving forward, turn
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: the TV off when there's a sideline interview. If there's
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: a halftime interview or a post-game interview or a pre-game interview,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: please do me a favor and turn the TV off.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what she asked? I'm like, oh, that's
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: a riveting question right there. What would you have asked?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I would have asked anything about that. Give me an example.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Let's hear what Michael Bennett is asking. I'm not prepared
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: right now. You think she thinks that game's going to
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: finish the way it does?
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I'm probably asking, what was the thought process in coming
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: up with the decision to go for two right there?
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: And if you ask that, I'm going to be on
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Twitter saying, what a stupid question. The thought process was
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: to go out and get a win.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: But to ask as far as how do you feel
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: after that win? I mean, I'm sure he's depressed. He's
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: probably got to go see his therapist. That's a dumb question.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think that was. But even my question's dumb, yes,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: because those post-game interviews are dumb. I don't think her
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: question was dumb. I thought it was ridiculous.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: It's giving the nation an opportunity to peel back a
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: layer of Will Stein and see his emotions after an
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: exciting win like that. Which, by the way, speaking of
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: his emotions, if there was one thing that I didn't
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: much care for on Saturday, was kind of his reaction
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: once that two-point conversion was converted.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I loved it. I mean, it was exciting to see, certainly. Yeah.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: But to me, I just thought it was a little
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: over the top. Like, you didn't beat Georgia on the road.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: You beat South Carolina. Yeah, but again, you go back.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: This is his first year.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Any time you beat an SEC team on the road
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: is a big deal.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Especially for Kentucky. I agree with you on that.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: And I know how big of a win it was
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: for Will Stein. I know how much he wanted that one,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: how much it meant to him to get that win.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: I just thought, looking back, it was a little over
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: the top. I could not disagree more. I thought it
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: was appropriate. I thought it was fun.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: It just shows how much fun he's having, which is
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: probably just going through the entire team. They love playing
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: for him. They love playing for Kentucky. And it's just
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: become something fun for all of them. Because I'm sure
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: he's gone to all these players and say, come to Kentucky.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: We're going to win here. And now everybody's seeing the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: fruits of their labor. I guess my mind just went to.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: If that's how he's acting after a win against South Carolina,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: what do we see if they beat LSU this weekend?
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: It's going to be crazy.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Is this dude going to come onto the field doing
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: backflips and handsprings and all that?
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be awesome? And he should. He should be
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: celebrating like that every time. It doesn't matter who the
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: win is against because this is Kentucky football, and we
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: haven't had this kind of excitement in a long time. Now,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I will say.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: I think the way the game ended, obviously on a last,
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: last play of the game.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: That probably like it made his emotions even higher than
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: they would have been. Anyways, if you win that game,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: just with the clock running out, I don't think you
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: get that reaction for what it's worth. I think it
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: was probably just the excitement of the moment. Like, Hey, I,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: I showed my big cojones, and it worked out. It did,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: and it worked out with a great pass. Kenny Menchie
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: has to be the smoothest guy out there. I don't
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: know of anything that is freaking him out.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Do you? I mean, he had all kinds of pressure
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: on that overtime touchdown pass, and he just kind of
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: threw it out there, and boom, it was a touchdown.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Hated that play call, by the way. Oh, you did?
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: When that play first started going. Yeah. I was like, no,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: what are you doing?
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, whoever it was off
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: to the left-hand side in the flat, wide open.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Wide open.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: And then the overtime, the two-point conversion. That was a
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: great play. Yeah. And he had all kinds of pressure
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: on him. Do you realize he was talking to the
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: running back right there? Was it C.J. Baxter back there?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I can't remember who was in the backfield with him.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: There was like only two seconds left on the clock.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: And he's just casually calling the play. It's like, dude.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Snap the ball. I am going nuts. Oh, yeah. Oh,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: my gosh. I mean, I could talk about. By the way,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I went back and watched it again yesterday. Did you?
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: The whole thing? I think I've watched. No, not the
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: whole thing. I skipped the bad stuff. But I think
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: I've watched it now probably three times. And I've definitely
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: watched the ending, I bet you, 20 times. Because I
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: can't believe it. And it looked like the guy was
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: about to drop the pass, by the way, on the
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: two-point conversion.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: No.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: It did. I mean, he catches it kind of twice,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and it's down there by his waistline. It's like, oh, dude,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: you scare me every time you catch that ball. Anyway.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's go to the Whiskey Thief text line.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: 502-414-1450 if you want to text in. Um, John here.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: The ranking situation for our football cats sucks and it
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: does matter. I agree with you on that, Michael. Um,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: for sure. Hey, let's just go win the next one
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and everyone will have to stop trying to bury us
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: in the ground. Also, Big Blue Masses was pretty darn cool,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: in my opinion. Our men's basketball team has a cockiness
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: to them that I like. I also like Coach Pope
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: wearing the all-black Kentucky gear. We have lengthened shooters. Wilkins
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: was on fire in that three-point contest for sure. Justin
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: McBride will be a player that will make some big
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: plays for us this season. I think this team can
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: do something special. Okay, we'll talk more about the basketball
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: stuff a little later. I'm going to concentrate on football
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: right now. Because this was a huge win. You can
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: say whatever you want. This was a big win. Especially
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: being down 17-0. But I don't want... Let me get
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: through the rest of the text and then we'll start
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: talking about the ranking stuff. Because... I, yeah, I've definitely
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: got some opinions on that, and it just drives me nuts.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Josh texted in, the Cats are far exceeding expectations. They
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: are to me as well, Josh. I'm going to tell
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you right now. They've won two more games. They've doubled
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the amount of games I predicted. My favorite part of
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: it all is the on-ball IQ and discipline. lost in
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the hoopla of two-part conversion, and Minchie going to the line,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: recognized the blitz, yanking CJ up to the pocket and
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: pointing it out. That was amazing right there. And that's
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: what he was doing. He said, and what happened is
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: he put CJ over there, pointed over there, Kenny Minchie did,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: and then lo and behold, if you go back and
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: watch that play, CJ.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Totally blocked the guy that was blitzing. He did recognize that.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: That's spot on, Josh. Well done. Then CJ obliterating that blitz.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: He really did. I mean, what a start difference in
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: coaching and on the ball and game poise. That's my
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: favorite part. It also makes you wonder if UK has
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: the season we're all hoping for now, Justin, what's Notre
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Dame going to think? Are they going to be disappointed
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that they didn't try and keep Kenny Menchie a little more?
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I know they got a great quarterback up there. Well,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: a good one. Because you can't really tell if he's
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: really good or not because they play no schedule. But
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: do you think with Kenny Menchie going through the SEC,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: having one of the toughest schedules in the country, and
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: he succeeds this season, do you think the Notre Dame
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: fans might, ooh, did we keep the right quarterback or
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: should we have kept him as backup somehow, some way?
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: They certainly could have afforded it. Yeah, but, I mean,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: at the same time, it's Notre Dame. So they'll be
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: able to go out and get basically whoever they want
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: because it's Notre Dame. Because they play light schedules. One
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: person said he said why he went for two. What
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: would you, Michael Bennett's question? All right. All right, then. See,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: here's the problem, though, Texter. I wouldn't ask a question
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: because they're dumb. I don't think anybody's going to ask
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the right question. Way to be honest with yourself. Yeah,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I don't. I think I'm going to ask a dumb question, too.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: But that's why you don't do it, though, Justin. Come on, man.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: You realize everyone out there is going to ask something dumb.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: You just want, like, you want something unpredictable. You want
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: the sideline person to come out and be like, Coach,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: what type of pizza are you going to eat after
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: the game tonight?
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Well, you might as well ask that question. I think
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you would enjoy that a lot more because of the
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: unpredictability of it. Probably so. Probably so. I mean, what
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: kind of beer are we drinking after a win like that?
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's going to be some kind of game clock.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, it'll be chicken. It'll be something on my
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: pizza and I'll probably have chicken beer. I mean, because
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: we just beat the roosters. So, uh, but no, I,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I just, I don't think there's going to be anything
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: out there that is going to be good enough. I
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: just think at that point, you just have the announcers
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: up in the booth. Nobody cares what they're let them
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: go celebrate. I mean, that's what, Archie Manning wanted to do.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: That's what Steve Sarkeesian wanted to go do. Let them
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: go celebrate. They don't want to do some dumb little interview.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: It's three minutes of their time. But it's three minutes.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: You're right. I'm going to turn it off because I
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: think it's three minutes of absolute wasted time on my part.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I pray more than anything. that moving forward you turn
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: it off. It's going to drive me. It's always driven
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: me nuts. Just to let you know. 48 Handley said,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: everybody loves it because it worked. You're exactly correct, 48 Handley.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: All that movement, they were behind, and if they miss it,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: it's over. If they kick the extra point, they're into
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the overtime on even terms. If they miss that, it's
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: a bad loss because South Carolina isn't exactly top shelf.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more with you. So, one person said, Will
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Stein has all swagger and moxie.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Ooh.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Nice word right there. Swagger and moxie. Can my man
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: give just a little to Pope so he can be
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: somewhat cool? God, that's a fair shot right there. Is it? Oh, yeah,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: it is. It's fair. It is. Going into year three,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: you think that's a fair shot? Yeah, I do. Yeah.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Sorry. Rankings don't matter. Take care of business and
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: everything will work itself out. Preach, brother. Yeah. So there
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: you go. Mentioned changing the protection coverage looked just like Montana. Okay,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: this texture's going after my buddy John here, okay? Mitchie
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: changing the protection coverage looked just like Montana Mahomes out there.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: In fact, I had to do a double take just
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: to be sure. It was smooth. I mean, all kidding aside, Jamie,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: that was pretty smooth for him to, with the time
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: running down, You need to go back and watch that ending,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: by the way, because you can watch the clock going
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: down to two seconds. And he's telling CJ, watch that
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: over there. And here comes the blitz. And CJ just
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: totally blocks him. And it saved the play. I'm just
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: telling you, it saved the game right there. Sideline interviews
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: are the most pointless aspect of the game. Just need
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: to be eye candy like, oh my gosh, like Holly Roe. Okay, wow.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Did you see she got a little perturbed at a player?
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I did. Yeah. We didn't bring it up. I'm done
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: with her. I know you are. I am just so
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: done with her and her little attitude. I just it
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: drives me nuts. So anyway. All right. We got to
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: take a break. I understand we got someone on the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: phone line. We'll get to them as soon as the
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: break is over and and stay right there. So don't
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: don't hang up. It'll be OK. I'll let you have
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: your time on here.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: 502-384-1450.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: You want to call 502-414-1450. You want to text on
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the Whiskey Thief text line, or you can tweet me
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: at justthecatray. Stay right there. We're talking UK wins, which
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I never dreamed would be happening. This is Just a Cat. 502-384-1450,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: you want to call?
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: 502-414-1450, you want to text in on the Whiskey Thief
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: text line?
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Michael? Michael? You need to give up that predictable commenting
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: about the interviews after the game. We want to hear
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: from the coach. Their questions are just a lead in
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: to let them talk about the game. Don't die on
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: that hill. I'm sorry, Texter.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Texter. I couldn't agree more. No, he's wrong.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: He's wrong. I'm just telling you he's wrong.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: There's just some things, some roads you choose to go
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: down that are just, they lead to dead ends, and
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: that's one of them.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Justin, you're obviously right. We shouldn't have celebrated so big
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: when beating that team didn't even keep us in the
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: top 25. Smack my head. Ridiculous. Yeah, I know. We're
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: going to talk about that in a couple of minutes.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone lines first.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: 502-384-1450.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Who's up? We got Ed. Ed, what's going on? Ed?
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: I'm in line here at the, I'm in line here
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: at the super American. Everyone is enjoying the Michael Bennett show.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: Now the Louisville fans, the Louisville fans that are in line,
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: they're in the restroom throwing up.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: And I can't blame them. They should be in the
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: restroom getting sick there.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, what is, do we have a,
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: and don't take this the wrong way. Scoots are a Michael.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: Our media that votes in this thing, and I've noticed
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: some of the names in the high school poll. I've
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: never heard of some of these guys.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: But in the.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: USA Today, I used to think the AP, of course,
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: I worked for them as a stringer for many years,
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: was a reputable organization. Why is Kentucky out of the
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: top 25? A road win at South Carolina. I don't
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: care how good or bad South Carolina is. That's ridiculous.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Hey game. You were an underdog.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: It really, it really doesn't mean anything really at all,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: except prestige. And a team like Kentucky is trying to build,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: you know, Stein is trying to build something there. Now
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: I just hope one thing, Michael, you may agree or disagree.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: I hope they are able to hold on to will Stein.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: Now we had a very small sample size, but he, he,
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: he can, he's proven that, he could coach in the
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: Southeastern Conference and win. Now, if you can win in
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: the Southeastern Conference on the road in Kentucky, you've done
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: a heck of a job. Now, again, small sample size.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, you're exactly correct.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: It could all come falling apart at any time. Look
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: at the job that Rob did his first year, got
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: leveled to the ACC championship. It ain't smelled a chance.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you. By the way, while you're there,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: will you get me a Diet Coke and a Mr. Goodbark?
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: So I would really appreciate that. But I'm going to
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: tell you right now, Ed, it does matter. It does
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: matter that UK is not in the polls. It's all
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: about gaining that respect. And UK deserves this respect. You
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: even have, and here's the difference now. If you look
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: at the SEC bragging about all the teams in the
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: SEC that are ranked right this week in the AP poll.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I saw a number of fans from other schools, Missouri, Alabama, Florida,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss, were all saying, the fan base was, why
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: isn't Kentucky in the AP poll is a tragedy. And that's,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: hold on, Ed.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Hold on, Ed.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Hold on a second, Ed. But when you have other
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: fan bases that are saying this, That means something. And
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: you know what? To tell me that these coaches, I
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: know Will Stein is probably going to say, it really
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me. Deep down inside, it does. Because
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: here is why, Justin and Ed. The difference is when
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: a recruit, a top recruit is looking at UK, it's like, well,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: they're not well-respected. Why do I want to consider UK?
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I realize that Will Stein's doing something good there and
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: doing something special. But, you know, I want to go
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to a school that I know is going to be ranked.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: It's going to matter at some point and it needs
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: to matter right now. And every UK fan out there
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: needs to stand up and yell about this because this
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: is absolutely inexcusable. Go ahead, Ed.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that, uh, I think polls are stupid anyway.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: They don't really mean anything until you really don't get
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: a good, uh, uh, barometer. I don't think until about
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: the 1st of November, it's made my, that's just my opinion.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: And I've been around for a long time, and I've
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: covered a lot of, you know, really good Kentucky teams,
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: believe it or not. And I have covered some Louisville
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: teams that I thought were pretty good. Now, again, the media,
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: this day and time, and again, guys, don't take this
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: the wrong way. It's across the board. Radio, TV, newspapers
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: in particular, magazines everywhere. They do everything in about two seconds. Okay, oh,
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: Kentucky beat South Carolina over them. Ah, I'm leaving them out. Ah,
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. Well, did you know that they were
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: down 17-0? Now, if it sounds like I'm getting on
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: Kentucky's bandwagon, excuse me, I'm just stating the fact. Just
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: stating the fact. And if you go over and you
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: take a look at Louisville, well, they come all the
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: way back. They're tied in their game with.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: North Carolina State.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: North Carolina State. And what happens? One of their best
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: running backs fumbles. They're going to go score. Let's face it.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: They're going to go score. Anyway, the difference between Kentucky
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: and Louisville is Kentucky is making the plays. They believe
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: in their coach. They got guys who care, which is
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: hard to do in one year. Well, look, all you
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: have to do is go to Scoot's. I use Kurt Sidnetti,
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: who I think is an outstanding coach and all you.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: And I, I just, I just don't, I'm just wondering
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: about if Rahm has the respect. I mean, he has
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: co-defensive coordinators, not like Jeff. I've known Jeff since he
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: was a, and covered him since he was a quarterback
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: at Trinity. He was one tough, he was hard to beat, man.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: And he was one tough dude and comes from a
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: football family. But getting back to Will Stein. I never
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: will forget the first time that I covered Will Stein
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: at Trinity. They're playing Lexington Henry Clay in the playoffs
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: at Trinity. And he called out, well, he wasn't nasty
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: about it, but you could tell he was an outspoken,
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: tough guy. And he was on, what, is he 5'10?
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know his height.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, he... He was one tough dude as a quarterback.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: He went on to UofL. Of course, he had to
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: battle God for the starting quarterback position. And you know
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: who I'm talking about.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I have no idea who you're talking about.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: You've never heard of Scooch Help Me Out Here, the
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: best quarterback in Louisville history.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, that guy. To me, that would be Lamar Jackson. Yeah.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: I couldn't think of Lamar's first name. Anyway, he battled
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Lamar for, you know, quite a bit. And to me,
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: that says something for a guy. But he's smart. For
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: him to go for two and for that player to
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: be as wide open, somebody did some film study on
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: that team.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: And I've got to think that his staff, and here's
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: another thing with Louisville and Brown, He has cold defensive coordinators,
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: which I mentioned earlier. Something's got to give now, as
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: he has a talent on defense, that's part of the problem,
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: but they don't know who they're scooch. You can't run
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: and you could have gotten open against North Carolina state. Yeah.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know. It's so sound. Kentucky is so sound
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: in what they do. I'm really impressed now. Okay, Louisville
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: fans are going to say to me, well, you're on
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: the Kentucky bandwagon now. We don't want you. Not so.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Fruit's in the pudding. 4-1, baby. Yep.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: All right, Ed, thank you for the phone call. Listen,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on at UofL. And it's really.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Do I feel bad for them? Yeah, kind of. Because
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I really thought they were well on their way. And
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: you did too, Justin, on their way to the college
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: football playoffs. Because of the fact that I thought they'd
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: lose to Ole Miss. I didn't know much about SMU.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: But truthfully, I thought UofL would be better, and they were.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: But now to lose to Wake Forest and to North
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Carolina State? Something's going on over there. And it's not
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Jeff Brom. it's gotta be the defensive coordinator. Cause I
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: don't think that defense could stop me or you. I mean,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: they just, they consistently make boneheaded plays. Like, like Ed
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: mentioned the key one Brown fumble late in that game.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: He's right. Louisville was driving down the field. Yeah. They
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: were going to score there and all likelihood win that game. Yeah.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: And then your backup running back or your starter, however
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: you decide to look at it, gives it away.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Like just bad luck. Yeah, it really is. By the way,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Will Stein was behind Teddy Bridgewater. Not, Yeah. Oh, that's right.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: It was Teddy. See, to me, I thought I was
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: a big Teddy Bridgewater fan. And I just think if
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: he'd have found the right team, he would have had
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: a nice career in the NFL. He just never did.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: He could make the argument he did have a nice
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: career in the NFL. Well, he did.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: He made a ton of money. He's certainly vested in
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: the NFL. He'll be getting money from the NFL the
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: rest of his life. So you're exactly correct. One person
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: texted Michael Bennett would be the worst. Producer at the
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: SE Network. Gotta ask a question. It's like, okay, fine.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I just, then put somebody out there that played football
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: and ask the question, okay? That knows something about football.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: and can ask a relevant question to them. That worries
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: your mind right now after a big win like that. Well,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: we all know where his mind is.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: I just think you're underestimating how hard it is to
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: come up with a question.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, I'm not. Didn't I just readily admit my
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: question would be dumb too? I feel like you get
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: somebody out there that's been in that position. Have the
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: guys up at the booth ask the question. I just
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: think these sideline reporters are the dumbest thing ever. I
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: just do. And I'm kind of sick of it. I mean,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: it's a literal waste of my time. You don't feel
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: that way. No, I enjoy them. All right. All right.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: But that's coming from somebody who has done sideline reporting
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: in his past.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, you have? Oh, you have? Okay. All right. Then
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: let's ask it back at you. What would your question
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: have been to Will Stein after that win?
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, I already gave away what I would have asked.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: I'd have been like, what are we drinking tonight, coach?
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: Big win.
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: And just let him go crazy. See, I like that.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: How are you celebrating after the win? Yeah, something along
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: those lines. Yeah, exactly. So, all right, if UK beats
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: LSU this weekend, is that a goal post removal type
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: game and you let the fans come down on the field?
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: I would say so. Because you know it's going to
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: be an expensive find, this one. Screw it. I think
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: we're– Will Stein will cover it. Oh, yeah, he will. Listen,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: here's what they should do is let the fans have
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: their fun. I don't like all this fine stuff. I
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: really don't. There's a way to protect the other team
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: and coaching staff. Have security prepared to protect them. Have
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: a wire out there. But let the field. I think
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: that's one of the great American things that happens in sports.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: When the fans storm the field or the basketball court.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm sorry that they're trying to stop so much
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: of that. Do you know the spread? It's double digits. Yeah.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Is that too much? No, that feels on this Monday.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: That feels about right. Does it really? I have a
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: lot of respect for what that LSU team's done this year. Okay,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: fair enough. One person said, sorry, Michael, I want hot
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: chicks asking questions. Please, please, please. I'm with you, Texas.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Great response right there. Yeah, but don't say anything. We
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: got a break. All right. I'll see you in a minute.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Hour two coming up. Just the cast.

  Speaker 1: you can tweet me at justthecatradio. I tell you what,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: it's just absolutely beautiful day. You know, Mondays are different
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: after a win. And the fact that I'd love to
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: take a poll right now, Justin, how people felt before
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: the season started and how they feel now. Mm-hmm. And listen,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: if they can get away with a win this week
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: in UK, that is, I'm telling you, the entire country
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: is going to be talking about UK football. And the
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: fact that six months ago, we didn't know where this
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: team was going to be next year. And just the
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: whole narrative of UK football has absolutely flipped. Well, hopefully
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: it's a feeling y'all can get used to. Yeah.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: Coming from somebody who's celebrated 21 straight winning Mondays.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right. It's a lot of fun. Brag, brag, brag.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Who did IU play this weekend? Rutgers. Yeah, there you go.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: They're horrible. I mean, that's the, see, if I'm IU,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Because you're not playing anybody productive. Oh, we got you.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: And once you start playing teams of talent-wise. Starts this week.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: It might, all right, who do they play this week?
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Is it Ohio State? On the road at Nebraska.
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Which, that should still be a win. But then you
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: host Ohio State. Then you go on the road to Michigan,
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: which that looks a lot easier now.
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: How about Minnesota? It's been since 1977 the last time
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: they beat Michigan. That long?
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: 1977.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Credit to them. My mom was seven. I was 11. Oh,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: was she really? I'm that much older than your mom?
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: I was 11. So, anyway. Yeah. It's just crazy. But- Yeah.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: We don't have to worry about Michigan anymore. No, we don't.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Because I would say Michigan didn't deserve the college football players.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: If they would have been on the bubble and then
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: got in after losing to, who was the team they
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: should have lost to? Western Michigan. Western Michigan. That's right.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: But we don't have to worry about it. Is that
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: their third loss this year now? I think just their second.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: It is just the second?
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: But they've still got Indiana, Ohio State.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: They're going to end up piling losses. Yeah. Yeah. I
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: wonder if they're just losing their minds up there. How
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: about Missouri blowing out Florida? Didn't see that coming. I
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: didn't either. I mean, I had fully bought in on Florida.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: And then, wow. I mean, it wasn't even close. Does
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: that make you worried? for the game at Missouri? Well, no.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: I would still be worried about it anyway. But, yeah,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: I would have figured that would have been more of
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: a win than the Florida game. Now I wonder, okay,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: which game can we win now? Yeah, it makes me
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: nervous about the Missouri game. Absolutely. Of course, that's going
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: to be in Columbia, too, which makes it even tougher.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: In the Florida game, if I had to flip a game,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: I would love to play Missouri and Lexington and Florida
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: and Gainesville.
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: You just won a game in Columbia, South Carolina. Why
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: can't you replicate that effort in Missouri?
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Missouri's a little better, I think, than the game. Yeah,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: but still.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: All right, then. I mean, you've had good luck in Columbia. Yeah.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Alabama blows out Mississippi State. That was.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say that was shocking, but the
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: final result was kind of shocking.
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, you want to talk about the top 25.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: I know Alabama's really good, but how does Mississippi State
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: lose that game by 33 points and they drop one spot?
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. That's what none of this. All right,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: let's talk about it. It does frustrate me. I'm at
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: a point where I honestly can look at the rankings
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: and say, I honestly do not understand it at all.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: And this might be the worst rankings of any season
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen, where it's just been all over the board. Yeah,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: how does Mississippi State only fall one? I don't get it.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: Because I can tell you with confidence, In the top 25,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: let's just go through 20 through 25. I feel really
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: confident UK could beat Pittsburgh. I feel really confident UK
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: could beat SMU. I think that'd be, yeah, I would
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: say so too. I feel really confident UK could beat
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Boise State. I feel really confident UK could beat Houston.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: I feel really confident UK could beat UCLA. I don't
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: know so much about Iowa. Maybe, maybe not. And I
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: could be off on that, but I feel confident about
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Southern Cal and Oklahoma State for that fact. Now it
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: gets a little tougher beyond that. I really, UK should
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: be ranked 2021. Somewhere right there. What do you think? Yeah,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, where were they going in? They were 24
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: last week.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: 24, yeah, so I was 22, 21, somewhere in that range, yeah,
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: I think would be the right goal.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: But to fall out of the top 25, and so
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: many people lost their minds over there, including, like I
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: had mentioned when we had the phone call a little
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: bit ago, so many of the SEC fan base is, like,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: up in arms about UK. It's like, how does this happen? Oh,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: I know why. It's because we got to keep ACC
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: teams in there. That's the reason why. If you want
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: to be completely honest, people are looking at this, well,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: UK almost lost to a team they shouldn't have. They
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: were down by 17. Yeah, they came back and won.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: But I'm looking at this, no, they don't deserve to
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: be in it. We're going to put some ACC teams
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: in here. And I just think that's a tragedy. Mm-hmm.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: It really is. I mean, I look at this no
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: other way. Don't tell me this doesn't matter. It matters
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: a thousand percent. When is the time going to come
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: that people across the country respect UK football?
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: I think the best way to put it in the,
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: in the best tweet I saw about it this weekend
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: came from, I don't know if you're familiar, but it
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: came from Dylan Ballard and he said something along the
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: lines of, he's got, I've said for years, Dylan Ballard
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: has the best voice in Kentucky media. He's got that
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: Southern drawl. He's a lot of fun to listen to.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: But he tweeted out this weekend something along the lines of,
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: or I guess it would have been yesterday, when do
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: the college football rankings come out? Because at that point,
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: the AP poll becomes moot. Nobody cares about the AP
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: poll once the college football rankings start coming out.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: So that's honestly, whenever that starts happening, I think that's
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: when this will all turn around. And Kentucky will hopefully
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: at that point start getting the respect that they deserve.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: But you've got some wins to knock out first.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean, they were in it last week,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: but UK was not in the college coaches poll. But
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: this week they're in the college coaches poll and they're
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: not in the AP. It just that just none of
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: it makes any sense to me. None of it does.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: And I guess I'm okay with Texas, Georgia. I'm not
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: okay with Notre Dame being three. I'll never be okay
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: with Notre Dame being three. They beat North Carolina by 11.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: That's a problem. So if you're going to penalize Kentucky,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: why does Notre Dame stay at three then? They should
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: have been penalized. I don't disagree with that.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, they have not beaten anyone respectable so far.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: No, and UK has gone two. Now, granted, they're not
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: in the top 25 anymore, but it's because UK beat them.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: They go to Texas A & M ranked ninth in
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: the country at the time and beat them on their
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: own field. And there's no respect for UK. Man, Texas
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: A & M looks horrible. Yeah, they really do. And
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I got to believe maybe it was because Kentucky beat them.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Or maybe it was because. Took their morale. Well, maybe.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Or maybe they were just not very good from the get-go.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know which way to go with it. So
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: I'd like to believe they were number nine in the country,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: and UK just defeated their thought process that maybe we're
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: not that good. I don't know. I don't know. But still,
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: to go down and have a crowd of over 100,000
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: people and to beat that team is a feat. And
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame barely beats North Carolina. And doesn't go down
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: in the poll. I'll never forgive the Notre Dame. The
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame and NEAC, I guess Miami should be in there,
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: but didn't they get blown out last year?
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: Miami?
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: In the playoffs? Or Notre Dame? Miami. They lost in
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: the championship to my Hoosiers by six. Okay. So I
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: wouldn't call that a blowout. Okay.
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: But Notre Dame does have Miami coming up in a
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: few weeks. They play at BYU in two weeks.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: So what?
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, they've got... games on their schedule that they
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: could potentially falter.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Where is the Miami game? It's at home. See, there
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: you go. Again, not a test. It's a test somewhat,
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: but it's on their home field. I'll never respect Notre Dame.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: I just won't. I'll just lose my mind and continue
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: to lose my mind. I did love the Harvard Colgate game.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't watch it live. God's green earth was paying
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: attention to that. I paid attention to the final play
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: of the game. Here's why nobody does this anymore. Harvard
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: beat Colgate on the final game, doing a hook and ladder.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Who does? I mean, I thought I was watching 1920
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: football and they did it. I thought it was awesome.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: So yes, I watched the last game. Sorry. I'm not
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: going to apologize for that. It was fun. Harvard Colgate.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: I'm watching it right now. Yeah, I mean, how much
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: fun is that? Come on, man. I mean, that's just
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: high football IQ. Yeah, it is. All right, Friday night
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: was Big Blue Madness. I should have went.
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: Because I was already halfway there. I mean, I was
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: in Frankfurt on Friday night. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: We had technical difficulties for my broadcast, so we never
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: even got on air.
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Should have just hopped over to Lexington. You probably should have.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: You get yourself a credential and go on and go.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people are criticizing the broadcast, saying
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: it's just the same old, same old and needs a reboot.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: I'm one of those people. It's just I watched it.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: It's boring. Now, granted, I'm sure it's fun when you're
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: there live, but it's just– Something needs to change. Our
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: prediction of who might be there, we got that. I
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: think you said it first, didn't you? It should have
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: been Karl-Anthony Towns. I think you said that. Did I
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: say it? I thought it was you.
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: Maybe I did coming off the championship. Yeah, I think
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: you said it. I'm going to give you credit for that.
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: So Carl Anthony Towns was the guest. That was pretty cool.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: The Wildcat coming from the ceiling. All I could think
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: of is please don't fall. I could never do anything
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: like that. That's all I could think of. And then
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: the rest of it was just like, okay, been there,
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: done that. It's just a bunch of different faces this year,
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: except for a few of them.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: But I just, I don't know. I mean, I kind
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: of feel like Big Blue Madness needs a reboot. A
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: lot of people are complaining that they don't let you
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: camp out anymore. I get it. That, to me, was
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: one of the iconic things about Big Blue Madness, people
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: camping out to get your tickets. I think that's a shame.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I think the student body needs to be a precedent.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: They should get their tickets first before anybody else because
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: they're the students. That's their school. This is their team.
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: The students should be first over all the rest of
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: the fans. So anyway, I mean, I'd be happy to
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: give up. I didn't go.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: I'd give up my seat for a student to go
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: sit in my seat. Wait, you're saying so this whole
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: thing should be students.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not saying the whole thing, but I'm saying
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: the students should be first and foremost and then let
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: all the fans come in after that. Yeah, don't limit
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: the students to go to their own. I mean, what
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: if you got 17,000 of them showing up? I think
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: that's great then. Nobody else gets in. They're paying to
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: go to UK. They should be the ones going to
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: that practice. Now their parents are paying. Well, okay. But
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: they're paying for all of this. They should be the
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: ones first and foremost going to this. So the fan
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: base can go to all the exhibitions. games and the
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: rest of the other stuff but let the students go
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: they should be number one you don't think so i.
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: Mean i don't hate the idea but i just think
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: alienating everybody else would not be a good business decision
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: Because the students, obviously, they're not going to have the
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: same type of money to go hit up concessions and
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: all that stuff.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: No, but they can use their student card, can't they,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: to go to concession and pay for something? I don't
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: know if they can or not. We couldn't at Indiana.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: You couldn't?
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know how it is. I don't either. I
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: don't know how it is, but they should be allowed to.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: So I just feel like Big Blue Madness needs to
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: be a reboot. To me, if I'm completely honest, it
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: was boring. It just, it was.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: It's just gotten stale. All those things that they can
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: get stale really, really quick.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: Even if you've got a new team every year, it's still,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: it's the same thing you've seen in the past.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But when they had Mark Pope come out, did
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: you like the black on black jacket? I know somebody
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: was saying earlier, they loved it. Our colors are blue
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: and white. I don't know. I just don't like that
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: when they mix it up like that. But I guess
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: it's fine. I'm a big fan of black. Are you really?
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: You are. See, I'm not. I don't even think I
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: have anything black in my closet. I have navy blue.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: I don't have black. So I'm just not a fan
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: of black. But when they had him elevate on the
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: stage and go up on that little thing straight up
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: in the air, like 20 feet in the air, I'm like, dude,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: please don't fall. He kind of looks like a wrestler.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: Like a WWE guy. Really?
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Huh.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: You didn't think so? I don't know.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: Why do you think he looks like a wrestler? It
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: just feels like a wrestling entrance. He got the fire
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: coming up. He got the big board behind him.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He's got that stern look on his face. Yeah.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Just looks like he's ready to beat the hell out
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: of someone. I wish he had that kind of mentality
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: on and off the court. I mean, I want him
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: going after the referees. I want him going after. If
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: his players aren't playing good, guess what? I want to
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: see that side of Mark Pope. I want to see
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: fire coming out of his eyes this year. Maybe you will. Maybe,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: because I tell you what, a lot of people, not
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: only were they complaining about Big Blue Madness being like
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: you just said, and I think that's a perfect description,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: it was stale. but a lot of people are just
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: really going after him saying we need a new coach.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: Let it play out. Yeah. I'm with you right there too.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: Let it play out. But as soon as I see
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: the first inkling, I'm, I predict there's going to be
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of people jumping off that bandwagon. There will be.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: And completely joining a different bandwagon. There will be. Yeah. I, I,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid of that. So we'll see if it happens
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: or not. But, uh, What was going on at IU
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: this weekend? My goodness. That their basketball scrimmage.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: I think those pictures were taken out of context. They were,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I have no idea, but that's when
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: I first saw that I was like, this, this has
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: to be taken out of context in some way, shape
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: or form. Maybe the, the seats behind, maybe they limited
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: seating on one side and everybody was sitting on the
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: one side.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: My thing is it's, I wasn't really worried about it,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: and quite frankly, I didn't really want to talk about
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: it today because it didn't even really hit my register
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: or register for me this weekend because it's the middle
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: of football season. You've got a 5-0 Indiana football team.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: Basketball season seems so far away. So maybe the tide
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: has turned a little bit towards football as opposed to basketball,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: but I'm not worried at all about once games get
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: underway about people being in that state. We are going
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: to sell out games. It's not going to be a problem.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like Big Blue Madness, though. That event...
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: It's no longer Hoosier hysteria. They made it now just
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: a scrimmage.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, they did? So they got rid of Hoosier hysteria? Correct.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: So it's basically just a glorified practice. And now with
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: the way things are with teams being able to take
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: summer trips, I mean, we've already seen this team in
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: game action this year. Why would I want to go
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: to that event and see them play against each other
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: when I've seen them take on actual competition already?
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. UK has that blue-white game, and I
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: assume this was kind of a crimson and white game
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: for Indiana. But I would say 15, 20 years ago,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: that place would have been packed. Five years ago, it
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: would have been packed. Yeah. Because Indiana football didn't exist. Yeah. Oh,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: you really believe that the success of Indiana football is
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: now affecting how many people go to a practice game
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: at IU? Yes. Really? I truly believe that, yeah.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Should that be happening? I don't know. But I have
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: no problem with that being the case this weekend. Yeah.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Speaking of tickets, did you see where the tickets for
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: the UK LSU game are currently more expensive than the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Georgia Alabama game this weekend? It was like $ 324. Isn't
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: that crazy? It is crazy. I mean, I did not
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: see that coming. Now, a lot of people are talking.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: I tweeted it over the weekend after the win. Should
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: game day come to UK? No, I think that. Why not?
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: Because you have number two, Georgia playing number six, Alabama.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it. But you know, the hottest topic
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: in America today when it comes to college football is UK.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: You got to readily admit that, especially after the win
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: this past weekend. Yeah, but you're never going to top
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Georgia-Alabama when they're both in the top six. Maybe not.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: And by the way, Kentucky tickets are now cheaper than that.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, they are?
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: So it's totally flipped.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: It's gone to as low as $ 276 now for Kentucky LSU,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: $ 285 for Georgia-Alabama.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: But still, I mean, to me, if I'm game day
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: director and having to pick where we go, yeah, no-brainer Georgia-Alabama.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: Okay. No-brainer. All right, then. One texter texted in, the
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: best quarterback to play at Louisville was Johnny Unitas, not
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Well, we do have a monument of Johnny
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: Unitas downtown, which I always thought was the strangest thing.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: You know where the Johnny Unitas monument is or statue?
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: I don't. It is down at Slugger Field. Like in
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: front of Slugger Field? Yeah. All right. So you know
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: where the entrance is right there at River Road?
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: All right. So that statue right there is Johnny Unitas.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: That seems weird. Don't you think that's the strangest thing
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: in the world? It is strange. To me, Johnny Unitas
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: should be over there at the UofL stadium. Agreed. It's like,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: why is he here at a baseball stadium? How random
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: is that? That should be Pee Wee Reese, if anybody.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: What other famous baseball players are from Louisville, Kentucky, more
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: so than Pee Wee Reese? They had Deion Sanders play
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: down there. Yeah, but he's not from Louisville.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think. I bet one day with
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: the success that Will Smith is having with the Dodgers
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: in the MLB, I bet they make a statue of
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: him one day. Probably. And he's been in an all-star
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: game I don't know how many times. I mean, he's
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: already got a banner. Yeah, he does. Oh, he does? Wait,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: that just came up, didn't it? Yeah, like two weeks ago. Yeah,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: where is that one? That I don't know. Do you
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: think those are kind of goofy? No, I like them.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: You do?
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: Okay. One text just said, Kentucky's known as Big Blue,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: not Big Black. That's true. Yeah. I agree. I mean,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: I know they mix it up every now and then,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: but I just, even with the gray, I mean, the
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: gray is okay. I just, I'm not a fan of black.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: I'm just, I've never been that way.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: By the way, Will Smith's banner is on the grocer's
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: ice lofts. About a block away from Louisville Slug.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, right there on Main? Yeah. Yep. That's an interesting spot.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: Huh.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: Because how many do... I know we got Justin Thomas now.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: We've got Colonel Sanders, Diane Sawyer.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: Bobby.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: Bobby Nichols. Yep. That's right. I forgot about Bobby Nichols
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: is up there. Muhammad Ali. Where is Muhammad Ali?
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: Isn't he down off 64, like right there in downtown?
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Is he? Okay. I don't remember seeing that one. Who
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: else is up that's hung up today? And does it
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: have to be people born and raised in Louisville? It does,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't it? It has to be. Yeah. And why isn't
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: Pee Wee Reese up? Great question.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: Huh.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, there you go. Go look for that city
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: of Louisville. Denny Crumb. What's that? We forgot about Denny Crumb.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: And your girl, Jennifer Lawrence. Oh, boy. Okay. Yeah, but
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Denny Crumb's not from Louisville, though. Well, he's a legend
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: in this town. Yeah, I think that would qualify.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: Wes Unseld is another one. Oh, that's another really good
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: one right there. Jack Harlow's got one. Does he really?
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: Jack Harlow has one. Well, my morning jacket has one.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: You know how you come off a crittenden going on
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: 65 going north towards downtown Louisville? There's a building right
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: there kind of where the fairgrounds is. And there is
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: my morning jacket, which I always thought was that that's
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: an interesting place to put it. Because, you know, normally
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: they're putting those things on high rises. And they put
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: my morning jacket on this one sad one, which I
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: think is great for my morning jacket. Jack Harlow has one.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Where is Jack Harlow's? Let me see. Okay, it's okay.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: You don't have to look. Dare to dream big at
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: UK football. Why not? See, that's one of my favorites
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: right there, Dexter. The jacket is the coolest part of
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: Pope right now. I want him to succeed and take
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: UK to number nine, but he comes off like a
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: goof too much. Yeah. I don't have an argument for that.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: Every now and then he does come off kind of
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: a little different. I'm not going to say odd, but
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: just a little different. But anyway, they moved the United
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: statue when they reconfigured the football stadium. Okay, good. Well,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: why can't they reconfigure the statute to go back where
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: it was? Okay. I don't know why you keep a
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: football player right there. It's like having a, is Commonwealth Stadium,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: isn't it still called CM Newton Field or is it
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: not anymore? At one time it was called CM Newton
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: Field or something like that. And it was like, that's interesting.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: I know he was an athletic director at UK, but
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: he was a basketball coach. Hmm. But anyway, all right,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: we got to take another break. 502-384-1450, 502-414-1450. And, man,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: we'll talk a little bit about volleyball when we come back.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: And I don't think I'm done. Oh, I forgot about volleyball. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: So it was a fairly successful weekend. But got to
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about UofL, what's going on
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: down the street here. This is Just a Cat. Stay
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: right there. To the bass track, I did go. She
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: bent on one horse to win and I bet on
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: another to show.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: The odds were in my favor.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: I had them five to one.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: And that nag to win came around the track.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: Sure enough, we had won.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: Up on Cremble Creek.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: Oh my, you are going old school with this right here. Yeah,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: might as well. Man, my allergies are killing me. You know,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: it used to be where springtime would be the worst
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: time for me as far as allergies. It seems like
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: it's totally flipped and it's now the fall. Well, better
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: than year-round like me. Is it year-round for you? Oh, God, yeah. Yeah. Listen.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: 12 months a year. Anybody that struggles with allergies or
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: what's the other one a lot of people have because
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: of allergies? It's not emphysema. It's something else. I forget
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: what it is. But, man, I feel bad for those
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: people that live in the Ohio Valley because that's the
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: culprit right there alone. But, anyway, what do you think
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: about the Portland Trailblazers TV play-by-play that was fired over
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: the weekend? It's ridiculous. If you don't know the story,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: go look it up. But evidently, he put some suspect
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: tweets when he was a teenager, and it cost him
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: his job. As a teenager. I'm going to tell you
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: right now, I didn't like it. So therefore, none of
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: us as teenagers did anything. We couldn't have done anything wrong.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I could criticize that all day long,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: but to go back and see what he wrote On
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: social media as a teenager, I think is a bit
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: of a stretch.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything that you could go back
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: and pull from somebody when they were a kid.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: That should get them fired in their adult life.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: How old was this guy? I believe he's like in
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: his late 20s, early 30s. Yeah. I mean.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're talking 15. Like how much you change
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: within a 15 year span is incredible.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I'm right there, too.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, to me, there's literally nothing that he could
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: have said on Twitter where I was like, yeah, he
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: should be fired.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not as a teenager. Something that happened a long
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: time ago. Because you're right. He's developed into a dad.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: So you're telling me he can never have a job
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: again in the career that he wants to work in.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: That's great. Because I can tell you I've done so
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: many things over my lifetime that I'm not proud of.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: But I changed. I matured. And I hope people forgive me.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: But to go back and do this, listen, I'm going
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: to root against the Trailblazers the entire year. You don't
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: have to. They'll root against themselves.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: They're horrible. Okay, good. Boy, speaking of teams that people
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: are starting to really root against, you know, we talked
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: about it a couple weeks ago, the owner of the Colts.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: She's starting to get a lot more criticism.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: She did this weekend, but it's not any different than
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: it ever has been.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: She's right in the middle of the game going up
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: and asking a question to a coach. I just don't
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: think that's– I'm not getting in this argument with you again.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: I know. Dr.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: Hung said you were wrong. He was on my side
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: with it.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 4: Dr.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: Will Hung. Anyway, CBS makes it official with Tony Romo. See,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: that's another situation. To me, it's probably a little different, but,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, to have him lose his job. Now, was
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: it because– the popularity of Tony Romo was starting to
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: kind of fall a little bit or was it truly
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: because he had gotten arrested for drunk driving? What do
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know because it's all, there might've been a
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: little Tony fatigue or maybe CBS was starting to think
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: to themselves, maybe we messed up here.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but I don't, I
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: don't think you could replace him just because of one DUI.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: Maybe it was something with the aesthetics of the video
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: that came out that they didn't much care for and
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: decided to make that decision. Or maybe it's truly because J.J.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: Watt does an awesome job.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: I listened to J.J. Watt and Jim Nance yesterday. J.J.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: Watt sounded a little bit like Tony Romo. It was
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: the same kind of raspy voice. And I'm like, oh
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: my gosh, man. He sounds like Tony Romo a little bit.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: Not a lot, but he came out with that raspy voice.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: I can hear it a little bit. Yes! And I'm like, okay,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: somebody at CBS loves raspy voices. Who doesn't? Well, if
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: you're a John Mellencamp fan, you certainly do. That's why
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: I like Jennifer Tilly so much.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: Ooh.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: You got that. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Super raspy.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: Jennifer Tilly has that high-pitched voice that I can tell
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: you that Michael Bennett loves. But it's raspy. Is it? Well,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: that's right, it is. The older she's gotten, it's gotten
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: a little raspier. But, you know, back, what, 15, 20
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: years ago, was that really? What was the movie she
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: was in with Jim Carrey, Liar Liar?
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. And she has that really hype. Oh, man. Okay,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: don't get me going, okay? I'm 32 years married. Thank
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: goodness she doesn't listen to the show. But I just
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: thought it was a little over the top to have
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: CBS fire Tony Romo. Because that's essentially what they did.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: You can put it, sugarcoat it any way you want to, CBS.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: You fired Tony Romo. Does he land somewhere else? I'm
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: not sure. I kind of get the feeling that we
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: were all kind of done with Tony Romo I don't
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: know speak for yourself I know you liked oh yeah
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: and I give you credit but and I'm supporting Tony
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: Romo here and I don't want to listen to him
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: on TV but I think it's a little much that
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: he lost his job over it do I think he'll
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: be picked up I probably not in the next couple
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: years but he might be year three or four after
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: all this what do you think I would like to
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: see him go the radio route really I think he
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: would be very entertaining on radio okay Because you don't see, like,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: for instance, John, oh, come on. Who's the guy I
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: love so much?
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: Gruden.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: Gruden. You don't see him at all anymore. Well, he
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: did a Tampa Bay exhibition game. He and Rondé Barber
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: did a game together where John Gruden was the play-by-play guy.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: Rondé Barber was the color guy. And I thought they
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: were fun to listen to. But you still don't see
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: John Gruden back out there in front of the TV.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: I hate that. He's making a lot of money with Barstool.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 4: He is.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: What do you think about Barstool Sports, by the way,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: getting kicked off Fox News? Not Fox News, Fox Noon Game. Wait, what?
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: So our boy with Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy. Mm-hmm. got
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: fired from Fox, whatever their pregame show is that competes
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: with Game Day. He did? Oh, you didn't hear this? No. Yes. Why?
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: Nobody has said why so far, but Portnoy says it's
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: because all the Ohio State fans wanted him fired. He's
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: blaming Ohio State, which, I mean, that doesn't surprise anybody.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: I think Fox is saying because the viewership would go down.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: They lost a lot of viewers because he was on.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, that I can believe.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 4: He is....
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: He can be exhausting at times. I mean, borderline annoying.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: A little bit of him goes a long way with me. Yeah.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: And that's a nice way to put it. And I'm
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: sure I'm the same. I've just asked my wife. A
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: little bit of me goes a long way with my wife. But, no,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: I saw that, and I'm like, oh, that's kind of bad.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: But I never watched it. So I don't know any
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: idea what he was adding or taking away from that show.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: I have never watched that Fox show on college football.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: Have you? You probably did.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: Because it's a big 10 thing. Yeah, I mean, I've
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: seen it, but it's not. I don't really enjoy the product.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: I'd much rather watch game day. And I don't really,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: I've gotten to a point where I don't really.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: Enjoy game day.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: Uh one person uh texted uh there's a johnny united
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: statue uh in the end zone of the football stadium
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: okay then why do we have two he was that
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: great really okay but he's not from louisville is he
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: he just played at uofl um i'll look it up
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: all right One person texted in. He's from Pittsburgh, PA. Yeah,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: I thought so. This person texted in, never forget Rex
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: Ryan was a Bigfoot guy. Why are we saying that?
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: I don't really know where that's coming from. I had
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: no idea Rex Ryan was a Bigfoot guy. Do you
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: really believe in Bigfoot?
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: No, I don't. Why?
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: I'd like to believe in it. I would too, but
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: I don't. Something that big. Would be seen for sure
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: on camera or in a city or something.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh. Jamie texted in and said, well, it's not like
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: Romo can be an Uber driver. Oh, my gosh.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about UK volleyball. It was a good weekend
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: for UK volleyball. They swept Auburn, but unfortunately on Friday
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: night down at Auburn, but things came to a stop.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: Great game last night. By the way, that game was
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: at 830 late game. Big crowd at Florida down in Gainesville,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: but they lost it in five matches or five sets,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: and UK Volleyball lost 3-2 to No. 7 Florida. So
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: that was a bit of a bummer, but, man, that
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: team is so much fun to watch. I'm just going
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: to tell you. They are fun to watch, and once
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: we get the postseason play, they're going to be a
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: fun team to watch, and I can't wait for it.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: When does the postseason get underway? It's got to be soon.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: I think within the next month. I don't know. One
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: person texted in, the statue of the football player at
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: Slugger Field is Paul Horning. I thought it was Johnny Unitas.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: Am I wrong? Oh, maybe I am wrong about that. Okay,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: so why is Paul Horning down there at Slugger Field?
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: Great question. It is a great question. Wait, what? What? The...
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: This can't be real.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: The volleyball tournament... isn't until first and second rounds are
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 3: December 3rd through the 5th.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, is it that far away?
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: That's two months from now.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 4: Huh.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: That sucks. I didn't realize. Yeah, I figured it would
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: be within the next month. Okay, never mind then. That sucks.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: There you go. One person said, Michael, not Bigfoot the mythical, controversial,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: I know creature, but I think Ryan was more into
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: the foot fetish for some reason. Oh, really? Oh, Bigfoot guy. Yeah.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: I gotcha.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: See, it's all about how you read things now because
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: one of my favorite things that I started doing the
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: last several weeks was once my show's over, I close
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: the text line. That way I go in with a
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: fresh mind and I have no idea what's coming. So
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: I heard it as Bigfoot.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mr. Illinois came back and said he was into
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: feet fellas. He had a picture of his wife's feet
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: in his office when he was with the Bills. Okay,
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: that's weird. I don't get those. I have a fetish.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: And it's, I love legs. Okay. That one makes more
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: sense though. But feet. That's just gross. I don't get
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: the whole foot fetish thing. Sorry. Makes two.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: All right. We got to take our last break.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 4: 502-384-1450.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: 502-414-1450. You want to text in. Stay right there. Last
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: segment coming right up.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea. Joy
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: to you and me.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: Did you get my clip of the final play on Saturday?
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: Clip of the final play. Yes, I texted it to you,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: and clearly you didn't pay attention to it. Hang on,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: let me get that. I want you to pull that up,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: because I think that deserves to be played one more time. Listen,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: I know we lost Jeff Van Notte over the weekend,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: and I really think he played a part of this.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: Jeff Van Notte, if you don't remember, played at Kentucky No. 1,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: played for many years. for the Atlanta Falcons, and then
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: was the color announcer before Jeff Pacuro. Just did a
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: great job. But Jeff Pacuro and Tom Leach do a
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: phenomenal job. And to hear them call this final play
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: was so much fun. uh no offense to the tv
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: guys that were doing this game tom leach and jeff
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: procuro are just exciting especially if you're a uk fan
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: so go ahead and play.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 3: We'll play i don't have it yet oh you don't
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 3: have it yet i mean this same account tweeted out

  Speaker 1: volleyball blue chips media oh come on well you know
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: larry talks about volleyball and all the uh women's basketball,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: swim and dive, I mean, everything. Credit to him for
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: doing that because those teams don't get much attention. So,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: as much as I'm teasing Larry, I do appreciate what
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: he does because they get it. But, okay, tell me
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: when you have it now. My gosh. What is your problem?
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's– I just can't find it.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: He's responding to all these tweets with Will Stein holding
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: a chicken by the neck.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: It would have been better if you just looked up
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: final call or something like that.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm not going to criticize you. One person
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: texted out or tweeted out, which I didn't realize this.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: Get this. Do you realize LSU has not won at
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: UK since 2002? Really? Well, here's the difference, though. They've
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: only played twice. Exactly. That was the bluegrass miracle. And
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: then the other one was the last time that UK
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: came was– When UK beat them, they were number one
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: under Rich Brooks, which I thought was great. You still
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: can't find it? I've got it now. Okay, good. Go
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: ahead and play. I was just waiting for you to finish.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: That's okay. Oh, my.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 3: Hang on.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: We turned my music off here. bleep show to end
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: the show. No, I don't care. It's all good. All right,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: here we go. All right. Minchie calls for the ball.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: All-out blitz. Baxter picks it up.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 4: He throws.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: Caught! Kentucky wins!
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: Willie Rodriguez caught it wide open in the back line
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: of the end zone. C.J.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 3: Baxter with a great blitz pickup to give Minchie time.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: Wow. how fun is that right there? It's good. I mean, seriously,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: he's one of the best. I really think he is.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, he just, he, he makes me so excited
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: every time I hear him, uh, call a winning game.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, it does. There was a time where, uh,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: I think it was like 20 some odd years ago,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: UK beat, uh, unexpected win at, uh, UofL. And I
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: could go back and listen to him, make that call
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: a thousand times. And it was so much fun to
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: hear him call that, uh, By the way, Lane Kiffin
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: was shown on video on social media at a fraternity
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: party over the weekend. What is he doing? After beating
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: McNeese State.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a huge win, so I don't blame him. Yeah,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: that's a huge win. Don't you find that kind of
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: odd that he is at a fraternity? Now, granted, it's
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 3: all fun and games, but man, this is just, I
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 3: don't know if I like my football coach doing this.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: He's a dweeb. You think that's it? He's just a dweeb.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 3: But do you think this is appropriate for your football coach?
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: That I don't think, no. I think not.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: But go hang out with people your own age, Lane.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: What are we doing? Yeah, I mean, shouldn't he be
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: going out to dinner with big donors and getting more
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: money or thinking about, hey, who's going to pay all
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: that money for me to go to dinner with them?
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: And I don't know. It's just weird. He's got the
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: brain of a child. Yeah. All right, so now what
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: is your prediction with Shane Beamer? I mean, is that
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: the end? Because, you know, the media was asking all
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: kinds of questions to his players, and you could just
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: see his facial expression. He did not like any of
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: the questions that were being asked. I mean, he's not
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: going anywhere, at least now.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's got to be the dagger, don't you think?
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: I would imagine. Yeah. Somebody posted, Alabama Outsider posted, the
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: next analyst at Alabama next season, Dabo Sweeney and Shane Beamer. Oh, boy. Well,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a fun week. I'm telling you
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: right now. I don't know how the game's going to
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: turn out this weekend, but we'll get you ready for it. Listen.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: I'm excited about this. You should be. And you can
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: dream all week long. Exactly. That's the difference. We can
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: dream about it. Before, we couldn't. And I never, I'm
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: going to tell you right now, Justin, I never dreamed
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: this UK team would be where they're sitting today. I just,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: I just didn't. Very few people do. And the fact
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: that they're there has made it so much fun. What's
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: the Monday night football game tonight? Oh, you ready? I'm ready.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: Falcons and Saints. Gross.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: That's a nightmare for Kentucky fans. You've got an Indiana
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 3: quarterback on one side, Louisville quarterback on the other.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 4: Gross.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: It's not a very good game. There's nothing sexy about that.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I watched my Bucs play yesterday. They're now 0-4.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: I would suggest you don't watch any more Bucs games.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: Is that what it is? They are. They're horrendous. Horrendous
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: is the best word I can think of. They are.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, the only thing I can look forward to
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: is just MLB baseball. I mean, I thought the Braves
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: game last night was a lot of fun to watch.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, where are we now with playoffs? You got
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: the Yankees and Rays. The Rays are leading 1-0. Yep.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: You got the White Sox that played today against the Indians.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: Guardians uh and of course you got uh the Braves
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: Dodgers tied at one yep which is a fun series
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: and unfortunately the Brewers are just walking away oh.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily walking to nothing though I mean yeah but
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 3: yeah but they needed ninth inning heroics in both games
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 3: yeah yeah all right overall who are you well you're
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 3: probably rooting with the Rays like I am aren't you
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 3: who are you rooting for.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: A small part of me is on the White Sox bandwagon. Oh,
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: are you?
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: Just because the last three years they lost 100-plus games,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: and then now they kind of feel like a team
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 3: of destiny.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: That's a great point.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they get past the Yankees or
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: the Rays and the ALCS, whoever ends up winning that series,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 3: but they do kind of feel like a.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: Team of destiny. Oh, you kind of feel like whoever
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: wins the Yankees-Rays is going to the World Series. I do, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: I will have to say, I am bragging a little bit.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: I've never been more excited. I'm going to have one
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: of my bucket lists done this week. I'm going to
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: a Yankees-Rays playoff game in New York City. You already
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: got your tickets? Yeah, I already got them. Sweet. Yeah.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: And I just like, holy cow, man. I've always dreamed
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: of going to... see a Yankees playoff game. Not because
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: I'm a Yankees fan. Everybody knows I'm not a Yankees fan,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: but it's just like, I'm not a Packers fan. But
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: I think to go to a Packers game in the
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: middle of December with a blizzard would just be the ultimate.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: You know how much I don't like Notre Dame, but
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: I'd love to go to a home game one day
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: up at Notre Dame. These tickets, at least for Wednesday,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: not all that bad. No.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: I'm very surprised that they're at Seems like they're that cheap.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: Do you think it's because the Yankees fans are like,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 3: they're going.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: To lose anyway?
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 3: Hopefully for you, that's game three and the Yankees are
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: down 2-0.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right. Should I wear Tampa based? Really? Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: My youngest son is like, Dad, I don't know if
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: it's a good idea coming to New York and wearing
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: that stuff. I mean, as long as you're not obnoxious
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: during the game. I'm not going to be obnoxious? No.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: Nothing's going to happen to you.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: If you're going to a game that your team is
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: playing in, I don't care whose stadium it's in.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: You wear your team's gears. See, that's the way I
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: always was when I was a fan for UK. I
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: would go to Knoxville and I would wear my stuff,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: but I would never yell that much. I wouldn't cheer
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: as much unless I'm in a big crowd of UK fans. Now,
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: if I'm in the Tennessee section, I'm not yelling that loud.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm kind of afraid going up to New York,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: you know, they're there. They're very nice people, but when
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: it comes to their commitment for their teams, man, they
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: are committed. And I mean committed.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, worst comes to worst, somebody punches you and
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 3: you got a lawsuit.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: Listen, I don't want a lawsuit. I don't want to
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: be punched. I don't want any of that kind of stuff.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 3: If it results in you getting like $ 3 million from
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 3: this Yankees fan, then it is what it is.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Think of how many ponies we could buy. Oh,
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: that's what it is. How many ponies we could buy?
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute now. Yeah, I'm part of Scenic Hill Stables.
