we are here at ks bar and grill for you can come have lunch and also remember couple things first all pregame shows at 430 today. I actually will not be on the pregame show, but Ravi Moss will be a guest host today with Ryan and Drew. I will be doing the postgame show after the game is over. I found it odd that Ryan wants me to go to his hot tub to do that one. He and Ravi, I think the three of us might just be in the backyard, them being boys.

I might not even get a word in on that show. Are you serious? You know them. Okay. I would not have agreed to that if I were you. If you come watch the game here tonight All day, remember guys, this supplies to you too You can get double your winnings on a bed on the game

And I just scan your little thing And then we will have a watch party tonight It didn't work last week But you know what? It's going to work this week It worked until the last play of the game We should have just closed right after Rob Dillingham's shot Sorry, restaurant closed, get out Then we would have won

Hopefully tonight's more for celebration By the way, starting with the Tennessee game we're going to put cameras up so that we have a shot of the bar during games and live streaming. So we have that all postseason. Yeah, and that way you at home can help us figure out who's stealing the helmets. Did we lose another one? I think we're good right now. But it'll be nice to, you know, have extra cameras in here to catch all these thieves.

Yes. By the way, a lot of people, Shannon, text me pictures of them taking the helmets. Why would you tell on yourself? Yeah. Well, they're like, oh, I'm taking it, but they're not. So I have a question for everybody before we go to Ryan on the phone. [phone]. Tell me your prediction score on the game. All right, I want to see where our fan base is.

Where are the vibes? I mean, for real, not what you hope will happen, but what do you think will happen? Just say like Kentucky by five, Mississippi State by eight. I want to see, does our fan base think we're going to win tonight? Because it's hard this year for me to know what our fan base thinks going into games, because it feels like it's all over the place. So I think this show is the best way to figure it out. So 772-774-5-254, just text.

What do you think the score is going to be tonight, Kentucky and Mississippi State, and I will look at them and see what it ends up be. I feel like it's going to be a lot of optimism. The fan base is still riding high after they just absolutely destroyed Alabama. And then the loss before that, you're up big and just kind of let it get away from you. It's not like LSU was the better team when they won, but I mean, you were in control and just let go of the rope. Maybe they learned a lesson there and play a full 40 tonight and get out of there with a win. All right.

Ryan is out on the road. Let's talk to him real quick. Ryan, where are you? We are on Leithtown Road. We just walked past the Coca-Cola plant. We are killing it. All right, so you're going to get there in plenty of time, I would assume. Oh, yeah.

Has it rained on you yet? It is not rain to drop Landon, shout out to Brandon who stopped and gave us a couple donuts and a couple drinks on our walk. The weather's worked out. Jill has slowed down a little bit. My boxing shorts are completely wet from sweat, but we've got probably

30 minutes to go and we're going to be there. All right. Are you tired at all? No. I feel like I could pull off some more, but you know, I don't want to run it in Shannon's face. You know, Shannon had to postpone because it was cold, rain, and he didn't

10 times longer, further than you did too. Yeah, well, eat it, Shannon. I'm going to finish this, and I'm going to finish it in a good pace and a good time. Eat it. All right, good deal. Well, we, good luck, and we will check it with you when you get there. Remember, when he gets out to the Clark's Pubbit Shop, they will give away a lot of drinks and more at Clark's. When I see marathons on TV, the athletes are always having people bring them donuts so they can get to the finish line.

I like his strategy that he has donut deliveries. Does that happen in the Boston? Oh, you want the Olympics? Pay close attention to the Olympics coming up. You'll just see athletes shoving donuts in the mouth. They'll just get knocked out and just have donuts. Donate deliveries. Well, I'm glad to see that.

All right, so the scores are starting to come in. Seems like a lot of Kentucky winning by large, large amounts, like 8 to 12 points. I could see that. I could see that. The Alabama game I went into it thinking it could be a 30-point Kentucky win, 30-point Kentucky loss. This one, I think it's either going to be Kentucky rolls them, or if Mississippi State happens to get it, it's at the very end.

I just don't think they score enough to really blow Kentucky out. I see 90 to 95% of the tweets or the techs here to the text machine are Kentucky winning by five or more point. That's the spirit. That's very optimistic. I mean, I think we're going to win too, but. Well, we should bring up. It is your favorite coach, the dentist. that's what they call him down there, Chris Jans.

I hate that. Because they say playing his teams are like getting a root canal. Do you like that nickname, Shannon? No, it's a stupid name. Like, why would you call him the dentist? They used to call Greg Maddox the surgeon. Like, what a terrible name. Yeah, I like the surgeon better than the dentist.

If you told me that playing me was like having a root canal, how many people do you think would recognize in the state of Kentucky Chris Jans on the street? Ooh, not many. I know what he looks like. And if I brush shoulders with him in an elevator downtown, I'd have to be like, I think it's Chris James? Do you know what Chris James?

He can walk in the studio right now, and I wouldn't know who he is. I'd say, can I help you, sir? I don't know what he looks like. But you know it's like going to Rucanow when you play him. I have absolutely, I mean, I honestly have no idea what he looks like. So, yeah, we can't lose to a, first of all, we can't lose to a guy who's nickname is the dentist, and we can't lose to a person that I,

have absolutely no clue. What it looks like. If you ever see it one day, you can say hi Chris. He looks like Ted Cruz. That's a nickname for him. Well, I mean, it looks like Ted Cruz now that he has that beard. That's what he looks like. Well, now you know.

That's what we should call him. It's like going to Ted Cruz. It's like getting a root canal from Ted Cruz. That's what play in Mississippi State's like. That's what Starkville is. Who's up next? Andy. Andy, how are you, Andy?

You got 30 seconds. I absolutely have. the best time of my life the other night, Friday night at OVW. I felt like the happiest man in the state of Kentucky getting to hang out with Haley for half the show. I saw Haley set with you and you had your hand on her shoulder. Yeah, I was definitely enjoying it. Zero to three. How many seven footers return next year?

Zero to three. How many seven footers return? I'm going to say one, but I'm not 100% sure which one. I think the one least likely to return is Z. I think the one most likely to return is Ugo, but it wouldn't shock me if Bradshaw returned and Ugo didn't. And I mean, it wouldn't shock me if Z showed back up again. But I'm going to just, if I'm just going to play the game,

I'm going to say one and then say, if I had to guess, would say, Ugo, which one? Yeah, I'm completely guessing here. I would say one, I don't know, I feel like, you know, I don't want to say anything here, but, you know, I worry if some of them might go back to school and not be here just because that's how college basketball works. I don't have anyone in mind. I'll say Big Z comes back just to be different.

Oh, really? So you think it's one and it's Big Z? Yeah, I mean, I'm just guessing here. All right. I mean, remember Hugo flirted with leaving last year, or he did, he entered the portal. Yeah. Bradshaw, you know, he's a guy that's in the NBA conversation. That decision, he might not even get to make that decision, unfortunately, because that's how those guys have somebody to feel around in these days.

Zee, I feel like, is just such a child he wants to come back and not even think about what's next. He's still having fun here, so that's why I picked it, but we're completely guessing. How many seven-footers come back, Shad? We're all going to have different answers. I think two come back, and I think Z goes. to the NBA because I think he already had his mindset on one year in college, then going pro after that. So I think on Yenzo and Bradshaw come back. So you think you get Bradshaw in on Yonzo back? Yeah, that would surprise me, but you know what? We have no idea. Honestly, what player on this

roster? If you had to say player most likely to play on this roster next year, who would it be? A do. That's mine too. I would say a do. Who's second? Ooh, watch this, Reed Shepherd. Really? He's the only one I know wouldn't leave Kentucky. Any of them I could see transferring. Okay. That's the way I look at it.

And it's not anything against any of them. They all love being here. That's just, that's the world these days. I'm going to go a do one. I think a do one is a very good pick. I'm going to go Justin Edwards, too. Okay. Because I can see a world where he's playing himself in

potentially being a star next year. If he goes in the draft this year, he's going to probably be a second round pick, unless he has an amazing march, right? And he could be a guy. There's a great story that you ought to read on Draft Express, on ESPN by the Draft Express guy that basically said, the way the NBA is working now was salary stuff,

that essentially the thing they used to want to do, which is try to get guys in the same, round and just stock them, et cetera, that now those second round picks with the salary cap are worth more and they're wanting to get guys who are experienced who can come in and play right away. Basically, the days of picking freshmen in the second round to hold them are kind of going away. It's actually going in the other way. So they're essentially telling kids, if you're not going to be a first round pick, don't come out. If that's true, and this was just, you know, this is what the Draft Express people say. If that's true, then I think Justin Everson,

is a perfect example of that. And separate of that, just with this specific team, and this is all of them, there's some in the past where their draft stock goes down and you're like, well, they're not enjoying this. They're probably going somewhere else. Regardless, this whole, every single one of these guys seem to actually love

being at Kentucky. And if they were to make that decision, I think that them personally would want it to be at UK. I just, you know how it goes with the portal, everybody else around them. I do like, though, that a do. I think a do is the one with the, with the best chance. Who's up next.

Let's go to David. David, 30 seconds. I took my daughter to her first game in Rupert Arena Saturday. It was awesome. First time I'd been there since they debuted the denim uniforms. Y'all was talking about best dunks. Wait a minute. You said that's, I'm going to extend you just a second.

Extend you just said. Did you say this the first time you'd ever been in Rupp was this game? This first time my daughter had been. And the first time I'd been. What a great. What a great game for your daughter to bid. Since they debuted to Rup, denim uniforms.

I think Shepard was out then. Gotcha. You talk about great dunks. Look up the Dirk Linnefield dunk on Mississippi State when his head is above the rim. To me, that's the best all-time duck on an appointment. Yeah, we've talked about that one many times. It is the one that I still think I appreciate the call defies gravity.

It might be a camera angle, because I've only ever seen one camera angle of that one. But it is just absurd. He has a second jump in mid-air. Yeah. I saw on TikTok, they have. had like the 10 greatest dunks of all time, and it was on there. Just from like a random account, did 10, and it included NBA dunks. It included that dunk of the dude of when Vince Carter ducked over the dude in the Olympics.

It included like high school dunks, and they had the dirt men of field dunk on there. I thought it would make that cut, just being so old and, you know, a college team, I figured to be heavily on NBA. Carter is number one all time for me. The thing about the Carter clip, though, is they only have still framed photos. The Olympics will not allow that video out. It's hard. You can't find that video.

Like if you try to find it online, of course I say that, and somebody will find it to me. But like when the Olympics sees it's online, they take it off. It's a hard video to find. Well, it's my all-time favorite. I was a big Vince guy. That was insane. But for Kentucky's purposes, it's Dirk.

Yeah. Who's up next? Joseph. Joseph, 50 seconds. Hey, Matt, that was the best game of the season. I think. I hope it is the turning point. of the season of what we all need.

It was an awesome game by Edwards, who we all doubted him. Hopefully we could build some momentum and start a winning streak. All right, there you go. I think Joseph's calls always sort of entertain me because they're like very matter of fact, Shadden.

You know what? It's like, the Alabama game was good. Hopefully we can keep winning. I mean, that's what we all think, right? Does anybody disagree? No, I know, but he's like, you know what? You know what? That's the Kentucky brand of call the day.

The Alabama game was great. Hopefully we can keep winning. And he's right. We haven't won more than two games in a row going this calendar year. Got to go back to December. Well, it'll only be two games a row. We win tonight too, right? I'm not going to say we've got to end this on a get a little run going here.

To show we can win consecutive games. Hey, there's a great way to support Kentucky athletes while dream. drinking pure alkaline. People say I'm saying that wrong. What's it supposed to be? Is it supposed to be alkaline? Alkaline. I think I say alkaline.

I thought I said out. People say, Matt, you say alkaline funny. I think that's how I would say it. All right, then let me try again. Support Kentucky athletes by drinking pure alkaline water sourced. Right here from Kentucky. It's Kentucky rain. R-E-I-N.

It's bottled out. It's on sale at Kentucky-branded. It's on sale at Yoder Market in Flemingburg. Yoder. Caproni's restaurant, Maysville, and more. It's Kentucky rain.com. R-E-I-N helps UK athletes, and it helps make your body healthy. It's Kentucky Rain.com.

Elite water for elite athletes. It's Kentucky Rain. We'll take a break. I'll be right back. Kentucky Sports Radio. To talk to Matt Jones and the crew call the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line at 859-2-80-2-87 or 1-800-606-4-2-63. You can also text Matt on the A-Vision.

glass text machine at 772-724. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here at the KS Bar and Grill. Matt Jones. Ryan Lemon's out on the road. I got Drew Franklin. Shannon is in Louisville. One person writes, Shannon seems grumpy today, but then he seems grumpy a lot of days. Is he grumpier today than usual? No, I'm good. I'm good. I can barely interact with you guys because of the delay, but I'm fine. Okay, well, good. You said you didn't sleep.

I wanted to make sure you were all right. I'm an insomniac. I think I sleep about five hours a night on average. Oh, is that right? Yeah, I don't know why. They have a new mattress or something. How many hours a night do you sleep? I don't get the full eight, but I'd say about seven, six to seven.

How many people get eight, though? Like, everybody says to get eight. I don't think I know anybody that gets eight, except Larry. Larry sleeps a lot. But besides him, I don't know any. anybody that sleeps eight. When I don't have anything to do, my body just doesn't sleep eight. Say I want to sleep in on a Saturday.

I'll just wake up. You've talked about that. You because you're so used to getting up, you can't sleep even if you have time to be off. I could go to bed at 2 o'clock in the morning, and I'm up by 6.30 regardless. Now, I may take a nap later in the day, but I just wake up. 6.30 every morning, boom, I'm up. Doesn't matter. But like, everybody, they tell you to get eight hours a day.

Yeah. But I don't know one person that gets eight hours a day. Those people don't have jobs. In lives. I might get eight hours. I might get eight hours like once. Whatever that came out. Every couple of months.

Yeah, I get like, I pretty consistently can get six. If it's going great, seven. But eight's just not a thing. Every once in a while I'll get eight. It doesn't feel that much better. I'm like, that was eight. I don't feel any different. I'm saying to whoever first put that out there,

I think they overshot it a little bit. They were lazy. They were a vaughn. They were definitely a vaunt. Shannon, Outback, this week is closing 41 restaurants. The CEO of Outback said, we have seen dramatic decreases and we're not exactly sure why. This is a restaurant that just a few years ago, seven years ago actually, won the fast food bracket. And I remember a time you couldn't get into Outback, no matter what time of day you went, wherever, you always had to wait,

and now it is declining more than any major chain restaurant in the country. Why do we think Outback is collapsing? Kind of makes me sad. I mean, you know, they did the blooming onion before everybody else. And now I feel like you go to any steakhouse. They do the same thing. They do the blooming onion. And some of them may even do it better than Outback.

People stole the blooming onion from them. That's exactly right. That was the one thing they had that was unique. And I don't know, I think maybe other people were doing steak better than them. Well, that's, I think, part of it. It used to be, I feel like it used to be you couldn't. The only choices for steak were either, like, go to, like, Western sizzling, where they basically got it off the side of the road.

Or like, then there was a little higher level that Outback was on. And now, like, I feel like you can get really nice steak from a lot of places. And Outback is kind of in a middle ground that people just aren't interested in. I don't know why Outback is different than a lot of them. But for me, the chains, you're just getting a corporate recipe. Most cases, probably cut out of a bag. And then it's just... Cut out of a bag.

I mean, you're not... If you have a restaurant somewhat open, with their own time. They can be flexible. There's some care in it. All these chains where they just pop them up everywhere. It's just copy paste and I think that that's hurting them in the long run. But I feel like Outback used to be immune to it.

It used to be like Al's back was the best of the chain. What about shipping prices from Australia? There are certain chains that are still killing it. Like Cracker Barrel is still killing it. But they put Love and Karen. That's different. They put Love and Care and Cracker Barrel. Everyone's grandparents are back there cooking.

But O'Charlie's? Oh, Charlie's dead. That's the last time you went to O' Charlestown. Oh, Charlie's dead. Applebee's struggling. We're hanging on on Lee's Town Road. Applebee's is struggling, but hanging on. Olive Garden.

Struggling. Applebee's got the bump with that stupid song, too. They got a little bump with that. They did. That song helped Appleby's. Yeah. Red Lobster. There was a time that Red Lobster was officially the nicest restaurant in the United States.

I had a red lobster tie. I only wore that tie. There was a time that literally. if you went to Red Lobster, you were considered fancy. You were considered like, oh, you're one of those people. You elites at Red Lobster. I don't know that that's true anymore. There's more options now.

I don't know why. So of the chains, what's the one that still feels like I could go in any city? And I'm not talking fast food. I'm talking like, you know, sit down. What's the chain where you would go to and you could go? I could go in any city and I know this is going to be good. besides Cracker Barrel Because CrackerBail is the same everywhere

It's a tough one Probably I'd throw in a vote for Texas Roadhouse I feel like no matter where you go It's good. That's a good one That would still fight in the good fight. I think Texas Roadhouse wherever you go People are still like

This is the place to be They're local so I'm not adding them in the conversation You know in Frankfurt, Shannon On our KSR summit We went to Chili's Yeah And it was good It was good yeah

That's right Chili's always good It was good I'm not going to lot Like we don't, you, it's probably too huge. Yeah. If it feels like you could order anything at Chili's, but we enjoyed it, right? I think I said that that day, I never ever, maybe once every three or four years ago to Chili's,

but when I do and I leave, I go, you know what? That was a good meal. You think maybe I should go to Chili's more. I forget. And then you don't, because, you know why? I don't go to airports. Because it's Chili's. But pour one out for Outback, all right?

because there was a time that was good eating and now it looks like things are struggling little alice springs chicken oh yeah onion loaf I'm sorry I'm going there tonight just to support them one last time just to try to keep it let's go to randy

Randy 30 seconds go catch double digits tonight Alabama was the start we're going to win the rest of these four games we're going to Nashville we're cutting the nets down and we're going to Arizona. All right, well, that's very exciting. I like us in Nashville.

I don't know about the tournament. I will make my NCAA tournament prediction when I see the bracket. And remember, Shannon, I'm going to see it 20 minutes. I know. You're going to have so much scoop. It's got to make you feel important. For those 20 minutes, do you know I'm going to be walking around?

It's going to be so hard for me not to. Let me ask you a question. You think I could get through the 20 minutes and not text anyone, I know. No. In the past, you've never told us. I've never had it. I've never had it because I was supposed to go up there. That's right.

And I've never gone up there. They won't send it via email. So I've never had it until this year. I was supposed to have it, but I never did. This year I have it. Just tweet like an emoji. Well, I guess. Either you're mad or you're happy.

It's going to be hard. I'm not going to lie to you. We'll take a break. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

Here's Matt Jones. Top five terrible song of all time, right? Top one. Top one. You think it's the worst one? For people on the podcast, it's fancy like Applebee's. But is rednecker or you?

I wish I was on the podcast. Rednecker you than worse is worse. So, yeah, it's going to be number two. Rednecker than you is the worst song. Literally, when you get to the gates of heaven. A lot of people don't know this. You're going to stand there, you're going to see St. Peter. St. Peter's going to go, did you live

a life of positivity? And you have to say yes or no. And they're going to look at your like sheet. Then they're going to go, did you believe in a higher power? And then you're going to go, yes or no. And did you treat your fellow man and woman with kindness? Yes or no. Then the fourth question. A lot of people don't know this is a bonus question.

Do you like rednecker than you? Even if you get the other three questions right, Shannon, if you say yes to rednecker than you, then you're in purgatory. It's to go straight to hell if you like it. It's not hell. It's a special part of heaven where they keep you away from the other people. Right? They're like, these people must be over here. Because you've already been to hell if you listen to the song.

And it's not hell. It's almost like, though, you don't get to go to the best parts of heaven. Everyone up here doesn't want to see you right now. And you know what that you know what's in that part? It's only Hardy performing 24 hours a day because they're like you deserve this for the rest of your life. I don't mean to like, I don't think a lot of people realize that about heaven. But Shannon, I've read Ephesians and it's in there and I just want people to know that that's there. My mom, I think she hasn't told me that that's what she studied, but I think that was in one of her classes.

I'll go back and review the Bible and what chapter was that again? to. Ephesians. Chapter 3. One person writes, Matt, you say all Cracker Barrels are good. You haven't been to the one in Evansville. It's world-renowned for not being good. Well, now I've got to go.

See, that makes it sort of like the Rob and Reed commercial. That makes me want to go there. Like, if you... Have a reputation. How would the Evansville Cracker Bill be renowned for not being good? It's the same food. I mean, maybe they just have really bad cooks.

Do they have hash brown casserole? If the answer is, yes, I'm going to like it, right? Maybe they're out of the little golf tees. I don't know. They stopped doing that last time I went. They didn't have it. I don't know if that's a COVID thing or not, but they didn't have it. They don't have the golf tees?

Not the one in Fern Creek in Louisville. They don't. That sounds like the worst cracker. That's because everybody steals them in Fern Creek. Watch what you're saying about Fern Creek. I do need to watch what I'm saying. The NFL Combine starts tomorrow. You're going to watch it?

You care about everybody running? and jumping and flipping. I'll turn it on when I have a little TV time just to see what's on. If it's interesting, we've got to think about six cats there maybe. I'll be keeping up. Six or seven, yeah, yeah. Who all's there? So you got, who all do we have?

We got Ray Davis. Ray Davis. We got Andrew Phillips. Okay. Devin Leary. Okay. I'm doing this off top of my head here. We got Jeremy Flacks.

Who would I be missing from that conversation? Don't we have another offensive lineman, right? Marcus Cox, did he go? I think so. And then maybe there's probably one other defender, but I can't. So, but do you, I mean, I can't. Tavion Robinson, I didn't say him. Tavianne Wallace, there we go.

I can't watch it for more than like 20 minutes because it's like, okay, they're running. But I have nothing to compare them by. You know what I mean? Well, I like the fat guys running. I actually don't like the running backs running because they just look like athletic people running. So I like the old lineman running. Some of the droos can be entertaining.

Erwin, there's almost always some scandal pop up. You turn in and hear what they're saying about some pick that's falling. But overall, it's pretty boring. You know what I would watch, Shannon? I saw they had the SAG Awards the other night. I don't want to watch the SAG Awards. But if you took the people at the SAG Awards and made them run a 40. You want just like everyday people running next to professional athletes.

Yeah, no, I would love to just see, okay, who runs the 4th? 40 the fastest. The cast of succession or the cast of sopranos or something? Like I would did you take another ambient? Are you going to start challenging people over here? I'm challenged anybody to a 40. You're on your 40 kick again. I've always been on this view that like it's much it would be much more, I've said this before about golf. Wouldn't it be more interesting to have a PGA tour tournament, Shannon, and then just have a regular guy in it? Yeah, I was. Just to see how he would do in an amazing course. Just put like a 10 handicapper out there and let's see what he does. I agree with that.

They had the match, the Capital One match yesterday. Did you watch it? Did you know who was in it? Exactly. It was two women and then Marysoma and somebody. But if it had been two women, Max Homa and the dude over here at Piccadome, I'm tuning in because I want to see what he can do. I'd like to see that. I think having the concept of pros versus, like for instance, I'd love to see an NFL game where for one play, you just have to have a regular guy play running back.

Or in an actual game. You don't even mean like we're on. Get the ambulance ready. One play. Yes, one play. I saw the Kelsey brothers were debating this on their podcast. Somebody wrote in and said, could a regular person run for a yard in an NFL game?

And they both agreed maybe, but they would then get sent to the hospital with the tackle. That was what they both sort of agree. And they also said they need to run directly through the hole if they try to cut, they will die. So you want to do that? I don't want to do it. I'd like to see somebody else do it.

I had a friend go on Pros vs. Joe's, and he injured himself. Oh, really? The actual TV show. I remember that. That was a good show. All right, who's next? Bob and Jamestown. Bob, 30 seconds.

Polo, my wife's friend, Phyllis Rogers, widow, of Jock, Sutherland. Somebody broke in their house, and stole her husband's 86 card championship ring. She's heartbroken. So if anybody sees this in a pawn shop or offers it for sale, get a hold of Nicholasville PD because Phyllis is just, she's just crushed over this, some heartless feet.

Okay, I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully, if you see that, you will return those. That is sad. Who would break into someone's house and steal their champions? Especially something so meaningful. That's why they did it, I guess. But that, when people take things like that, like, do they not think, I mean,

you can't get rid of it because people will know this is not yours. You're taking a one of one there. If it's got any name or number or anything on it. I don't understand the thought process. It's like when people steal works of art. I always wonder, okay, you steal this big work of art, but how are you going to be able to sell it?

There's only one of those. Isn't everybody going to know that it's stolen? right exactly i guess you just put it up and brag about how you stole that i guess who's up next ted ted 30 seconds hey thanks for taking my call a couple of things um i know you guys mentioned a du thierro possibly coming back next year but i i just read something saying that he is now in the in the in the first round draft picks that that was like no that that happens i don't He was projected as being a first round pick next year. So that wasn't this year.

If he came back, he would be a first round pick next year. Which we'd love that. I'd love that too, but they have no way of no one. I mean, that's just like they just kind of put it out for people to talk about. But he was projected by Draft Express to be a first round draft pick in 2025 in next year's draft. That would have Big Z going 40th and Bradshaw going 44th. I mean, he had all three of them coming back to college. That would be, but you also don't remember Kentucky has that big man coming in out of high school,

the SOMTO. And you have Jaden Quentin's too. That's why if the NBA doesn't work out for these seven-footers, they're not going to have five big men on the team, so somebody's got to go. As much as I wouldn't want Cal to have five big men on the team. I feel like two, if we have to have three. We don't need more than that because he'll play them all if we do.

So I don't really want that. because we're trying to guess who would be back. I'm just wondering if there's room for anyone to come back. You make room for one of them, but I don't know if you make room for... It's got to be so hard nowadays to figure out when you're recruiting. A, who's going to come back? B, who's going to transfer? C, I mean, you really are doing in March, April, May,

a huge amount of roster management that makes it difficult. Yeah, I mean, we hear when we've had the football coaches on, and then we haven't talked to basketball coaches, but Coach O at a press conference said before, games just a lot different, a lot less sleep because recruiting, even in dead periods, you're wondering who could transfer. What's this guy going to do?

It's ever-changing. You've got to keep up with it at all times. Yeah, 859-28027, cornbread hemp.com. If you want to rest and relax, cornbread hemp.com, remember the promo code is March now. If you use the promo code March, you get 30% off, and you get a T-shirt that says, My Grass is Blue.

We'll take a break and come back. Final segment, check in with Ryan, who I believe has made it to his location. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. To talk to Matt Jones and the crew, call the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line at 859-280-2287 or 1-800-606-4-263. and send us the Kentucky brandit tweet of the day by tweeting Matt at KY Sports Radio.

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Final segment. Remember the pregame show tonight is at 4.30 for Kentucky and Mississippi State. Big game that we need to go get a victory. Last kind of road game in a little SEC box where it'll be loud. They've sold out. They have 10,000 people, and it'll be a wide-out. and hopefully Kentucky gets a victory. I like the cats tonight. I think we're going to surprise some people.

And actually, I'm going to go ahead and say, I think we win by like six. I did the alternate spread instead of the money line. Draft Kings would only let me take it to three, so I need Kentucky to win by four. But I've already bet it. Locked it in. I was going to take it.

That's exactly what I was going to do. I would have taken it as high as they would have let me. I would take it to nine if it were there, but three was as high as it would go. Yeah, they don't want to pay you too much money. All right, Ryan, made it to Clark's pumping shop. It doesn't sound like it was too much of a walk for you, Ryan. He made it, man.

I tell you, I was really worried about trying to get here by the time the show was over. But Jill is quite the pace-setter. She has the Matt Jones Gate, and she got it here as quick as possible. Well, good, good. And I know you had some people honk at you on the way, so you made friends. Yeah. We had like 40 people, I think, honk at it. And then you get here, and there are some members of the UK softball team,

and the UK volleyball team. Chip Trianum. Drew, am I saying the name right? The Ohio State running back transferred. Sounds good. I believe so. He's here. Is he there?

Why don't you put him on the phone real quick, all right? Okay. All right, hang on. We'll tell you what he's coming on. Like, make sure he knows that he's on the radio. Hey, all right. Are you okay going on KSR real quick? Yes, sir.

All right, here you go. Hello? Hey, Chip. How are you, sir? I'm doing good. sir how you doing it good so it's great everybody's glad to have you uh here in lexington this year real quick to tell people what made you decide to uh make to become a wildcat uh really just the opportunity itself you know Kentucky has a great history uh we're not only just running backs but you know

just with the football program over the past couple years i'm just you know trying to come in and just do my due diligence to you know help bring the wildcats more games all right now you're You've been here for a little while. You've been around the team. A lot of folks are excited. How good do you think this group can be this year? We can be very good. Our expectations is very high,

especially when it being in a 12-team college football playoff now. Our expectations are very high, and we're definitely on a route to do something special this year. Now, listen to Chip, he's like sitting there talking about the playoff. Chip, you want to go play for the whole thing, right? Of course. Of course. I love it.

I love it. Tell me about Brock Vandigriff really quick. We obviously don't know a lot about him either. No, yeah, Brock's good. I work out with Brock every day. You know, we throw probably about twice a week. I have a whole group as an offense. But he's good, man.

I could tell he's hungry. He's ready. He's ready to show what he can do. I'm a starting quarterback. So everything should be good. And with SpringBraw coming around the corner, everybody's just really excited. Well, Chip Trayno,

I have to say, I know Vince was telling me about you actually this weekend. He was like, the dude's going to be a stud. So looking forward to seeing you on the field. And thank you for coming on. Yes, sir. Thank you all for having me. There you go. All right.

So was Ryan going to come back on the phone, you think? Ryan, are you there? Ryan? Ryan? Yes, sir. Hello? Okay, there you go. All right.

So, Ryan, well done on the walk. You'll be on the pregame show at 430. and if people want to come out, they can get a free drink right now and register for a $100 gift card. Is that right? That's correct. And I pleaded my ignorance and my forgiveness that I didn't know this. Parks Publishoff was actually on Lucille, so I'm the idiot. We're going to make them happy today.

Do you want to apologize to the writers of the copy, too? You should apologize to them. You gave them a bad name. Give a bad name to who? The people that wrote the script. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. Well, you know, it should have been on Lees Town Road.

People need to know it's really on Lees Town Road. Don't put the Lucille crap out there, copyrighters. What do you mean, crap? It's on Leis Town and Lucille. What do you mean, crap? That's exactly where it is. Now he's got to walk back. Oh, Dr. Mike is coming in.

The celebrities are starting to roll in here at Clark's Pump and Shopping. All right, well, hang on him. He's still, look at him, Shannon's still being rude. Still defiant. It's still defiant after all this time that it's not on Luce. It is on the corner of Lee's town in Luce. 100 Lusil. That's where they get their mail.

I can't believe Ryan just doubled down after walking there saying it's not on Lussel. I can't believe we've gotten to the end of Tuesday show without talking about this. But it is worth noting this whole thing with the judge in Tennessee, you know, right now, as of this moment, there is not an NCAA rule about collectives or NIL. Do you, I mean, do people realize that? for people who don't know, the federal judge in Tennessee, so Tennessee sued the NCAA, I won't go into all the details. But for people who don't know, the judge's decision was he put a nationwide injunction

that keeps the NCAA from enforcing any of its rules when it comes to what collectives can do in recruiting or what they can offer. They can't do anything right now. So it is the Wild West until either an appellate court overturns it or Congress does something. So right now, if Tennessee wants to say, hey, if you come on campus to visit, we'll fly you in a, you know, bomber jet, they can. And now the collectives can say, like, now they, you know, it's kind of under the table. Now they can just say, we'll give you a million dollars to come to this school because right now the courts are saying they can't enforce those rules. There's no rules?

At this moment, I mean, let's be real. There weren't really rules before, but now they don't even have to hide it. Like, until something else happens, they can just say, you come here, you get X amount of money. That, it's, I understand why the court did it. I'm not even saying it's wrong, but it's a pretty staggering decision for what it means. Well, if you're Kentucky, let's get out there and take advantage of it. Come be in our Donato's commercials. We're ready to go.

Dude, you got to be in those Donato's commercials. The other thing is, I may talk about this more later in the week. Supreme Court had a big decision yesterday, or heard a big argument. They didn't decide whether or not social media companies can basically ban you for your viewpoints. And it looks like the Supreme Court's going to say, yes, they can. Probably unanimous, which is the correct decision. Even though people don't like it, like Twitter's a private actor and Facebook's a private actor.

but the state of Texas and the state of Florida passed a law that said you can't ban people for their politics and the Supreme Court's going to overturn it. If you listen to the argument, they're almost certain overturned. As soon as they get done with that, can they bam the spam on my Twitter the moment I post anything? Twitter has gotten so much worse. Free blank in the bio is just in on every response of mine. I am a married man. Isn't it? I mean, like, I can post a tweet.

I can post a tweet. Every single time I post a tweet. tweet. We get the same ad. Every time I post a tweet, it's free blank in the bio. And it's like, no, I'm trying to just, I'm just trying to tell people about Antonio Reeves making the All-American team. She's like, I got your Antonio Reeves right here, baby.

Yes, I don't want your Antonio Reeves. Why about Bitcoin? It's like, that has gotten so much worse. It makes me want to go to Don Franklin to cleanse myself for it. Transition. Don Franklin Auto.com. I can get a vehicle to drive away from all the negativity in the world. Don Franklin Auto.com.

Yes, I say Kentucky win. I like five for some reason. I like 8479, Kentucky. All right. I actually won't be on the pregame show, so I'll make my pick. I'm going to say 83, 73, Kentucky. I think they roll or relatively roll tonight in Starkville. I think they're going to put on a great performance.
