Welcome to Hour 2 of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones. Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio here at KS Bar and Grill.

Wings Day, Dollar Wings, Sall Day, starting right now. People are ordering food. Nice to see everybody here. The guy told me we looked it up, Monticello is west of Danville. So if I can't take Danville as Eastern Kentucky, I guess I can't take Monticello. So I will throw in, I think there's a world I could live in hazard. Yeah. They have an Applebees.

So, you know, I mean, he got that. The WIMT's there. So there's a world I could do that. See, obviously I didn't grow up there. But just for me, a transplant in Kentucky, I don't consider anything west of Corbyn or London, Eastern Kentucky. I don't even consider Corbyn in London, Eastern Kentucky. You don't consider Corbyn't. I don't consider Corbyn.

I don't consider London, although people in London get mad if you don't consider it. But I do consider Corby. I think when you get off the interstate, you're in the mountains, right? And you get off the interstate in Corbyn and go towards my house. Yes. go through Barville. You definitely think Barberville is Eastern Kentucky. I do.

But you don't make Corbyn. I don't make Corbyn. Kentucky Fried Chickens from there. It is from there. I think just that is kind of the bridge. The gateway to East of Kentucky. To me, London's the gateway. London's the bridge, and when you pass London, you're in.

Both schools are 13th region. Do you think Montgomery County is Eastern Kentucky? I do not. You don't think Montgomery County is Eastern Kentucky? No, south of Montgomery County and east of Corbett and London. But you think Ashland is eastern Kentucky. But that's not south. That's true.

Yes. Southeast of Mount Sterling. Like I consider Moorhead. Is Olive Hill? Yes. Yes. But not Montgomery County. Not Montgomery County.

Interesting. All right. That's just me, a transplant. One person writes, Matt, I just went back and put on an episode of wrestlers. And holy blank, you didn't look good. Well, that's nice. Thanks a lot. I saw your pictures from Oxford.

They're night and day. Glad you're doing better. I guess that's a compliment. It is very much a compliment. Is that a compliment, Mario? It is a compliment. I don't know. Holy blank, though.

What did you do when you go back and you see your interact with Brian Kinnison? Well, first of all, Brian Kinnisen and I get along very well now. The editing on the Brian Kinnisenison thing was misleading. I've talked about this before. I won't go into it, but that conversation did not go as they act like it wins. That's the greatest shot. of him sitting there crying talking to his kid on the phone and you're like hey watch the shot and me walking away and hitting a golf shot is not a fair shot to me what a heel they left out

the minute or two before when I sat and kneeled and talk with him they left all that out and I'm still not thrilled about that but I was I was probably a couple times a little I don't I don't I was meaner to him than I should have been although you know so so so we're We're much better now. Shannon, you know that was misleading. I don't know. I wasn't there in that moment. All I saw was what was on Netflix.

So, all right, let's talk basketball. John Rothstein went to UK basketball practice yesterday. He said a number of things, but I think he said the two most important things. He said UK is an NCAA tournament team. And then he gave what he thought would be the starting lineup. He said, and it was the same starting lineup, I said a couple weeks ago, Lamont Butler, Kobe Brea, Jackson Robinson, Andrew Carr, and Amari Williams. I want people to understand some context.

You know when Cal was here, there were certain reporters that when they said something, you could feel pretty good it came from Cal, right? So that would have been Seth Greenberg, Mike DeCorsi. There was a time that Andy Katz was that, too. There was a time I was that, honestly. There was a time Kyle Tucker was that. There was kind of a notion of if this person talks, this is what Cal thinks. I think in this era, I think there are a couple guys that are like that.

I think Jeff Goodman has a very good relationship with some of our assistants that are on the staff. And so if Goodman says something, I'm going to tend to give it weight. And then John Rothstein, I think, is in a similar position because one of the assistants, I think, is good friends with him. So there's going to be a couple guys. We'll figure this out over the course of the year, but are these sort of Mark Pope whisperers, for lack of a better term. And I think Rothstein is like that for one on the staff.

So when he says, I think this will be the starting lineup, Ryan, I feel good that as of today, that will be the starting lineup. He also said that Colin Chandler, the freshman that is a little older who had been on the Mormon mission, would definitely play and is a huge talent, which coincides with some of the stuff I'd heard. that nobody gets mentions him, but that he might be our freshman that plays the most.

What did you think of those comments, and do you agree with Rosting? The thing about Chandler, for me, because the last thing I remember hearing about Channel, like he was still behind. He still had a ways to go because he was off for a couple of years. So for him to, Larson to say that, he's going to play. That tells me this dude could be a star someday. I think he's playing, and I think he is going to be, I think by the end of the year, he's the guy that you go, I'm not going to say he's the X factor.

I still think the X-Factor is just Jackson Robinson become a superstar. But I think he will play. You're around. Now, this is part of why I wanted to have you on today, Mario. You're around, like, you know these guys on the team much more than I do. Who do you think are going to be the best players this year

from the things you hear on the ground of that level? So I think Andrew Carr hasn't really gotten, you know, talked about a lot. We hear about how efficient he is. You know, Mark Pope came on here and talked about how he's so efficient. So I think he's going to be one of the leading scorers with him and Jackson Robinson. I think Travis Perry is kind of being floated under the radar in terms of what he can do on the floor. I think he's going to be one of the best three-point shooters in the country.

We saw this. We heard similar things with Reed Shepard last season. We're kind of hearing that kind of float back up about Travis Perry. Colin Chandler, I haven't heard much about Colin Chandler. I don't know your guy, Rostisstein, you know, I don't know if he was there just at one practice and Collin-Chine was just having a good day. Like, I don't know.

It's just one practice. It's hard to tell, you know. So who do you think it will be our best player from what you here? Jackson-Robinson. Yeah. Jackson-Robinson. If you were to predict top scores, you go, I would go Robinson one, Carr-2.

Is that what you would say? Absolutely. I think Brea. Braya's going to have games, but he may have 24, 25, and then maybe six or seven the next night. But I think he's a guy that could really, you know, be one of our league's words.

say that you feel like those three guys, if you're going to say, like last year, our three best scores tended to be Reeve, Shepard, Dillingham, to the extent we have that this year, is it Robinson Carr, Brea, in your mind? I believe it's Robinson Carr for sure. And then the third option, it just depends on the night. Depends on the night. You have different players. So many, Pope's system has so many different weapons on the team.

Travis Perry, you can't forget about Kirkcressa. I feel like he's going to be a big. He's going to play a lot, playing that six-man role. We don't talk about Oteg. He doesn't get talked about it. How do you say his name? Otega Allway, right? Otega Allway.

He's going to play a lot because he's a good defender, so I think you're going to see him play a lot. And I don't know a lot of the inside stuff, but one guy did tell me that he's the one guy that can get to the basket. Like we talked about, you know, we got the shooters. He's the one guy like a Joe Crawford that if you can, you know, be strong to the basket. He's the one backcourt guy that can do it.

So I was glad to hear him say it was a tournament team. I don't think there's ever been, and you all can tell me if you disagree. I don't think there's ever been a Kentucky team in the history of our school that we have no idea how good they're going to be less than this one. I mean, I have no clue. I have no clue if we're going to be top five to ten, top 25 on the bubble. I'd be surprised if we missed the tournament. But I have no idea, Ryan, how good we're going to be. Because first of all, we haven't seen any of these people play.

And unless you're a big-time college basketball player, you literally might not have seen more than one game from any of the dudes. I mean, our best players came from BYU, Wake Forest, San Diego State, Drexel, Oklahoma, Dayton. I don't know how much you watch those teams play. You have no idea. But you just, I think, like, Ryan, you have no idea how these guys are going to be. 12 new players.

New players. First time they're on campus was when Pope got here. And except for Travis Perry, we weren't recruiting the freshmen we had. That's right. So we didn't really follow them either. And you can't look at their stats because they're from the previous season because they're coming from a different school. It's a different system. that you're looking at.

So like said, we don't know what it's going to look like. We have no idea. No. And I think that's what's going to make the blue white game and the first two exhibition games so interesting is for most of our fans, I would say 95% of our fans, with the exception of maybe Lamont Butler, who they watched in the tournament run to the title game, most of these guys, Ryan, no one has seen play. Nope.

That's why there is so much interest in Big Blue Madness and the Blue White game. And these exhibition games usually, you know, don't get a lot of focus and attention. We are going to this time if we want to see these guys play. How good are they? Yeah. I'm excited about it. I am too. But I also, you know, when that team gets on the floor to play Duke, I just, how long do you think it's going to take before people recognize these guys?

Like, I'll give you an example. I was at, there was a player who walked in this bar last week during the football game. Apparently, it was here during the Kentucky. old miss game and no one knew. Wow. And no one on our staff even knew to get him to sign the board. Wow. And then when it was over, I had one person say that on the way out, they saw the player. Really? And sat in here and watched the game with a group of Kentucky fans and no one knew they were a player. So I think that's just what this team is going to be, at least for a little while. Who's next? Jay. Jay, what's up, Jay? Hey, guys. Good morning. Just kind of wanted to extend an invitation.

there to Ryan to stop by Saturday morning for breakfast at the tailgate at 3,000 Frederical Street because I know it'll be down there this Saturday. I'm looking forward to seeing him and Josiah come on down. I don't know what he's talking about. What's he talking? We're going to a game day visit at Kentucky Wesleyan this weekend. Oh, okay. So he's wanting me to come by their tailgate, sounds like, before the game.

So who's, I appreciate the call. Where are we on the recruitment? Who's leading? If I were to go on KS board and give my inside scoop, who should I say is leading at this point? I think the leader might still be Hanover, Hanover, Kentucky Wesleyan, and Mount St. Joseph. Those are his three.

When is the Mount St. Joseph visit? It's next month. I think Kentucky's second off weekend. Are those the hats that are going to be on the table? We need to throw a trancy hat out there just for the heck of it, right? Well, they don't have a football team, so that's going to hurt them. All right, so Hanover, Mount St. Joseph, Kentucky Wesley. Now Kentucky Wesley is your alma mater.

I know. Are you like, what are you going to do to get them back in play? Don't you want him to follow your roots? I mean, I almost kind of teared up when Josiah's first offer came from my school, Kentucky Weston. I thought that was really cool, you know, because they did it not because I played there. They did it because he had a really great camp last summer. So I would love for him to go there, but I can kind of see where he's thinking already. Did he meet a girl? No.

The girl's here. Oh, the girl's here. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Well, Hanover, is that the farthest one away? No, Wesleyan would be, I guess. Okay.

Yeah. It's going to be interesting. We'll see. Who's up next? Bob. Bob. How are you, Bob? Good morning, Gars are.

What's up? I need to correct something I told you last week. Perkins is in Sioux Falls, not Sioux City. Okay, well, I appreciate you telling me. I want to make sure we get to the right Perkins. You're telling the football story. The best kept secret in Louisville was the Sheiks. They used to have a national coaches, football coaches convention here at the Brown Hotel.

And all the meetings convened at the Sheeks, and that was a place on 13th Street, Broadway to Maple. You had to knock on the door to get the attention to get in. But it was a great night spot. Look at Bob. You talk about night spots on 13th Street. Bob, you never know what you're going to say. Well, listen, I appreciate the call, and Bob will get ready during the off week. Maybe he's going to be out at the clubs on 13th Street.

I don't know. on 13th Street. I don't know what that is. Tell me about, tell me what Stockton mortgage is, because I do know what that is. right now, they're listening outside of the states, they're thinking about refinancing or buying a new home. You can still use Stockton Mortgage. They're all across Kentucky. They continue to grow, and they're great people to work with. So give them a try. All the information you need is right there on the website.

Just go to the website. Stockton.com. There's a button there. It says, get started. Stockton Mortgage, NMLS, 8259, Equal Housing Lender. Some other underrated players. Mike Hartline. Mike Hartline, senior year, people don't realize how good it really was.

His numbers and what he did that year, phenomenal. Yeah. Yeah, I think he is because he came on the end of that line that goes back to Lorenzen, Woods, you know, going back to Couch, Bonner, Lorenzen, Woodson. And then you get Mike Hartline and people think he was a huge disappointment. But I would say for the next six or seven years, it would have been nice if we had Mike Hartland. Amen. Go back and look at what he did his senior year. I know he didn't get to play in the bowl game, but look what he did up to that point. He had a great, great season.

One person writes, Ryan, say Montgomery County is not Eastern Kentucky, is insane. has he never been to court days? I have been to court days. I still just don't consider Mount Sterling in the mountains. I don't consider it. But it's got Mount in the name. Well, so does Mount Washington. Yeah, we're in the mountains.

Good point. We'll take a break. I'll be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.

Text machine is 772-774-5254. Matt, one person writes, Matt, I look at the polls and it tells me someone is leading 49-46. Who are the other 5% of people and do you know any of them? That's a good question. I don't understand how anyone could be undecided. Like what else do you need to know at this point? Like, it's not, you know who these people are.

One of them was the president, the other was the vice. You should know whatever you decide. Like, how would you not know? What are they going to say in the next month that would change your mind? You think there's people just don't want to give up who they're for? Maybe. But do you know? Do you know anyone that's truly like, I don't know what I'm going to do?

I think it's just out of them being scared. Nervous to make a change of decision or, you know, stay with their decision. They just... Now, do you vote, Mario, are you a voter? I'm not a voter. Have you ever voted? No, I haven't voted. You've never voted?

I don't think I've voted. So have you thought about voting? Yes. I have been encouraged to vote. So you should... Do you know how to register? Yes. Okay.

I get a lot of text messages. Yeah. Are you registered? I don't think I am registered, no. I think it, is it too late in Kentucky? No, it isn't too late or it is too late? Next week. Next week?

So I got some time. So why don't you register to vote? I'm going to have to register. Don't you want to register, have your voice heard? Yep. Okay. I think it's about time. All right, so why don't you should learn to vote?

So maybe that can be your next video is you registering to vote. We can do that, Matt. Okay, there you go. See, look, we're using Mario to teach people how to vote. There is somebody, I think, on this show that has said he's kind of undecided. Shannon, are you undecided? No, I didn't say that. I didn't say that was Billy.

I thought you said that. No, Billy said that. No, Billy said, you're right. Billy did say he was undecide. Billy said he was undecided. So, there you go. 859-280-2287. I do, can we talk a little bit of drama?

Oh, drama's my middle name. So this, I find this story crazy. All right. So you may not know who any of these people are, but there is two political reporters. One's name is Olivia Nuzzi, and one is named Ryan Lizzie. They were engaged to each other. All right. Follow me so far?

Yeah. They are fiancés. Do you say fiancé for both people? Yeah. Okay. So it's not a masculine and a feminine. It's just fiancé. They are fiancés with each other.

you may have seen Olivia does a profile on Robert Kennedy and I guess falls in love with him and she ends up sending him saucy pictures and she ends up basically having a text relationship with him so it comes out she has pulled off the campaign beat

it's a big story well now yesterday she sued him the fiance okay who looked to be the victim. She shoot him and said, he found out, and he threatened to blackmail me and give all of these pictures to the press.

She's saying he found it on her phone, and he threatened to send out the pictures. Now, he says, I have no idea what she's talking about. I found out what everybody else did, and now it's going to court, Ryan, to determine, did the fiancé black male, or not that she sent these pictures to 99-year-old Robert Kennan. I knew the story, but I know this backstory about the pictures.

So my question is, how did the press get the pictures then? If it didn't come from him. Source. Well, I don't think they've put out the pictures. They just put out that they had the relationship. Oh, okay. But I don't think the pictures ever came out. Okay.

But she's essentially almost alleging that he's the one that ratted her out. What do you think? I think they're going to have a hard time proven that. Well, Shannon, do you think the fiancé was likely the one that ratted her out? Oh, yeah, you know he was. Who else would even care, right? He's the only one that cared. He's the only one with the motive in the situation, so of course he did.

Yeah, well, I don't know. Mario? Weird situation. I don't know, yeah. I feel like the fiancé, he has to. If you were in the situation and you found out, would you want people to, to know or not. I'll say you're engaged.

Go ahead, Champ. No, I was going to say, I would want to keep it private. I don't believe in trying to air stuff like that publicly. Air grievances out? Yeah, yeah, that's something you work out internally. All right. What about you, right? Because you're very vengeful, I think.

Like, you're engaged, you find out your fiancé was cheating on you. Are you keeping it to yourself? I mean, you wouldn't put it in a magazine, but would you tell the world? There is something to be said about. I feel like you would tell the world. I feel like being vengeful, but you still don't want to air out your dirty laundry. But I feel like you would. You being in that emotional state.

I would want to keep it to myself. Shannon probably would. I see you, Ryan, as someone who would like throw it out. Well, I appreciate what you think of me. I mean, I think you're the nicest person. I know. I've said that next to Larry. You're the nicest person I know.

But I do think, though, you would agree that when you are scorned, you have a vengeful. A vengeful side. Would you agree with that? You know, I got to be careful what I say here because I haven't done that. I understand that, yes. But this is a fiancé situation. Yeah. Well, all right.

It was very. Who's up next? Tim. Tim, go ahead, Tim. What's going on? I have a funny story from Oxford at first. I'll vote for Pikeville. I had somebody dragged me to a concert there last fall, Hardy.

I could live in Pikeville. The only problem with Pikeville is the road to the road to the mountain parkway. It's just that 30 minutes. But you're right. I could live in Pineville. Yeah, good restaurants. You have good restaurants. You have a good restaurant.

You have a big building. And if you have an arena that has as many people seat in it as your population, you're doing something good. I totally agree with you there. Now, Oxford real quick, but you were trying to set up on the porch after the game by the Grove, and I'm in the back of the UK crowd, you know,

a bunch of about 100 of us, as you said, we're hanging and congregate and waiting, and you're trying to get, you know, set up, and there's a tailgate tent right next to me, a little cooler, I'll be brief. 20 seconds, real quick. Real quick. And she reaches in to pull out a drink,

because is this yours? I said, no. I said, but I want to reach in and pull out a drink now that you did. And she said, you've already taken over. We had taken over that little area. That's for sure. We'll take a break. We'll take a break.

We'll get back. 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. Welcome back, Tucky Sports Radio here at KS Bar and Grill. Wings Day here on a beautiful day.

Beautiful day in Lexington. Tomorrow we are not here. We are on location with cornbread hemp. It's not open to the public. we're out in the fields where they grow the hemp. So we'll be out there, and you guys, you can't come. But we will be there. And then Friday, we are at Shady Ray's.

859-280-2287. A couple open lines, by the way. Go ahead. It's asking a thing Wednesday. I would like to ask the question. What's your question, Ryan? You just got another box of shoes, which you get every day. I don't get them every day.

Every single day. I don't get a pair of shoes. With all your shoes, you've got, how do you decide which shoes to wear? which day? Do you have some sort of set rotation? There's a system. What is your system? So I put the shoot.

First of all, Mario, you could tell them this, and you've seen it, Ryan, they're all over my house. Yes, they are. Because I don't have enough space.

So I put them in groups of eight. Okay. All right. So they're in groups of eight. And every day, I pick one of the eight, then move it to the next group, pick one of the eight,

et cetera. Because if I didn't do that, you'd be like, what is it called, inaction of like the too many. So that's not the phrase, the inaction of too many. But I

move and pick one from each one. It's almost like a neuroses now that I can't go away from those eight. And so like today, I chose these from eight and then tomorrow will be a different eight you choose from. So your groups of

eight are strung out all over your house. Because I don't have enough space for them anywhere. But how do you pick the group? They just randomly have been put there And then oh, and then how do I go from group to group? Yeah. Well, I pick this group. Then the next day is this one and there's a rotation of the group.

Oh, so you have a set rotation of your groups. Yes. And I know that sounds awful, but like this is the one thing. Like everybody has something they collect or interest. This is the thing I collect. I don't, if I don't, you know this. I don't spend money. No.

I spend money on traveling and this. Yeah. That's it. My clothes. I don't spend money on anything else. These are the two things I spend money on. And it's just like for some people, they collect baseball cards or stamps, or they collect candles, or they...

Whatever. This is the thing that I have just sort of enjoyed collected. Oh, you collect candles, too. I've seen your collection. I collect candles, although that's... But, you know, somebody sent me an article that's got me a little freaked out about the candles that basically says you shouldn't always burn scented candles in your house. It, like, puts some toxin out.

of that. And I don't even know if it's true, but it kind of freaked me out about it because I, I used to do it all the time, and so I've kind of stopped. I don't know if it's true or not, Ryan, but, like, I don't know. I don't want toxins. I mean, I don't really drink and I don't really do anything that, like, my vice is Diet Coke, so I don't know if I want candle toxins all in me. Now, do you have a special group of eight shoes that for, like, when you're going out shoes, like when you're dressing up, you have a special group? No, I have to pick one of those eight. If they don't match, that's on me. Okay. So you don't

divide them by color? No. No. It's random. Completely random. It's completely random. Completely random. Not based on all your Nikes are together? It would be cheating if they were, if they were, I'm just telling you this is one day, Ryan, one day.

One person writes, Matt, you said the grades for the season so far. Seven games left. What is Kentucky's final record? All right. We all picked different things at the beginning of the year. I think I predicted 7 and 5 at the beginning of the year with a max of 8 and 4.

I said you'll drop one random one. It ended up being South Carolina. So now, Ryan, what will the record be at the end of the year knowing we're 3 and 2 now? I'm still hanging on 8 and 4. I still don't know if they can get. So you think they win all the games they're supposed to and beat Louisville? And beat Louisville. Okay.

Maybe drop the Tennessee and the. Texas game. I wouldn't have predicted that maybe this time last week, but I'm predicting it now, baby. All right, what about you? I'm going with Ryan, eight and four. They get better every single game. So that's what I'm going with. Shannon? I had eight and four as well. I think they beat Vandy, Florida, Auburn. Actually, I think I had them beating Tennessee if you go back and look at it. Yeah, he did. Yeah, he did. So I don't know which games they drop, but I still like eight and four as their final record. Yeah, so I'm going to, so I pick. So I pick seven and five at the beginning of the year. So you would probably say, well, if you pick

seven and five at the beginning of the year, what has changed? Because I picked us to beat South Carolina. But lose to Ole Miss? I think I picked us to beat Ole Miss, but lose to Florida maybe. It was mine. I'm going to switch and go eight and four, because I feel we're going to beat Louisville. Florida still worries me a little bit, just because it's on the road, and that worries me. I think Auburn's not as good as I thought they be. We're going to win that one. We're going to win Vandy. We're going to win Murray. There's a part of me that still doesn't like the road game at Florida. I think we're going to, I don't, I think we're going to get blown out in either Tennessee or Texas, but then I think, Ryan, in that other one, we're going to have a shot.

Be competitive. To be competitive. And it be, I think one of those two games, somebody's just going to get us because we get blown out at least one game every year. but I kind of feel like Ryan, one of those two Tennessee and Texas will have a shot at whether we win it or not. Which one of the two you think it is? I think it's more likely we have a shot at Texas. I think Tennessee is going to be tough, man. Their offense and then, you know, their strengths are our weaknesses, right?

They pass well, and then they got a great defensive line, and we've struggled with these defensive lines getting pressure. I feel like we'll do better against Texas, but I don't know. Texas still could be undefeated number one in the country. Maybe they overlook. Who's next? I wonder who Texas plays that next week. They finished the season that next week with like maybe A&N.

No, I don't know. I'm not sure who they play. We can look at it. Who's next, Shannon? Let's go to Madison. Madison. How are you, Madison? I'm doing fine, Matt.

How are you doing today? Doing good. I got two things for you. One, what other teams do, We have to beat in order to get ranked because I noticed when I was today. I think if we take care of our business, Madison, if we, well, obviously we're not going to lose this week. We're not playing. If we then beat Vandy, Auburn, and Florida, then going into the Tennessee game will certainly be ranked.

We might be ranked before that. But I think we could be, if we take care of our business and win all those games and we're six and two going into Tennessee, I think we'll be ranked 18th, 19th, 20th, something like that, and going to Tennessee. And then another thing is, y'all were talking about our basketball team. What record do y'all see us ending with at the end of the year when basketball season? Again, on basketball, I appreciate the call. I have no idea what our record is going to be.

I mean, we'll make a prediction right before the season starts, but it could be anything. It could be 26 and 5. It could be 21 and 10. It could be, I have no idea. No, especially when the SEC is really going to be strong and there will be some tough road games. They're going to have to go out and try to win.

So I can add up to some losses. Yeah, I mean, the record, you just don't really know. I don't know, man. It's like Matt said. It can go 25 and 10. know 19 and 13 we really don't know we haven't seen them i just i mean i have no idea i do think our non-conference so part of it is you judge the non-conference so what are the loseable games non-conference duke i think we beat ohio state so then you're looking at duke at clemson

at gonzaga yeah louisville is here right correct so louisville is here so that's helps. So if you take the five harder games, you get Duke, you get Ohio State, at Clemson, at Gonzaga, and then Louisville, I think we go three and two in those games. I think we get Clemson. We got to get, I think that's going to be a tough one. But what do you think? You think three and two would be successful in those games? See, we make our predictions, I'll probably go two and three. I think those three games, as you said, Duke, Clemson, and Gonzaga could be hard. getting Ohio State and Louisville but losing the other three.

I would say we beat Ohio State and Louisville and we win one of those three. I'm not sure against which one. I don't know that Gonzaga is as good as they usually are this year. And that's not on their home floor. True. That's on that floor in Seattle, which will be, it's not going to be, they'll have more fans than we will, but it's not in and of itself, right? Yeah.

A home court. I just don't want to see, you know, a home loss to North Carolina Wilmington. You know, I want those days to be gone, you know. I think with a team full of seniors, we're not going to lose a game like UNC Wilming. I don't think so either. Do you? No. No.

And like I said, I hope those games, you just don't lose non-conference games at home in Kentucky. So those days have to be over. I don't think we will. Commonwealth causes, you know, the blue-white game is coming and it is for NIL. You can find more at ClubBlue.N.L.com. Ticket member, or excuse me, Club Blue members get 20% off tickets. There's still time to join. The scrimmage is Friday, October 18th, right over there at Memorial.

People don't get excited about that night. When was last time a UK battle? basketball thing was at Memorial Coliseum? Is it, is it that NIT game? The Perry Stevenson game? I think that's the last time. Was that Perry Stevenson, NIT game is the last time they had something

there. We'll take a break. Come back. Final segment. It's KSR. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo.

And on my podcast, The Cliverts Show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff. Like being an internet famous referee.

We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker, this linebacker walks up to me. He goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out. Look. quarterback on office blue with 42. Hey, Rhett, Mom, I want you to weigh better.

What? Hey, Ms. Parker. Listen to the Clippers show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. The story I've told myself about love or relationships can then shape my behavior, and that can lead me to sabotage the possibility of connection. This Mental Health Awareness Month,

tune into the podcast deeply well with Debbie Brown and explore the journey of healing, self-discovery, and returning to yourself. We explore higher consciousness, emotional well-being, and the practices that help you find clarity, peace, and self-mastery in a world that can feel overwhelming. The world is becoming lonelier. We're not becoming more social and connected. We're becoming more individualized, but we actually meet people in connection. If you've been searching for a soft place to land while doing the work to become whole, this podcast is for you to hear more. Listen to deeply well with Debbie Brown from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, I'm Joe Dono. You might know me as that loud guy who yells out, help on the internet. Help!

Somebody! But there's so much more to me than me. I'm an actor. I'm a comedian. and recently I've become quite the helper myself. And on my new podcast, Hope from a Hypocrite, I'll be changing lives, helping people in need with my sage advice and thoughtful solutions. Sike, I'm a comedian.

I'm not qualified to give good advice. Join me and my comedian friends as we riff rant and recommend some of the most legally dubious advice known to man.

This is Help from a Hypocrite, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know. Listen to Help from Hypocrat as part of the Mike Coutura podcast network available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed.

and finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup,

he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's first, friends stop by like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash will get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the

ball like, after you go through a training camp with that I said, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287 here at K. bar remember all week all not a weekend all day tonight they have dollar wings throughout i think it's 70-cent bonus and then trivia is tonight not the one hosted by me but the other one

which is a professional so uh you you will enjoy yourself for that we had somebody here asked me and ask anything if you could win all the rest of the games of the season but you had to lose to louisville would you take it Yes. Yeah, that means that includes a win over Tennessee. Because you would win at Tennessee and Texas. You'd be nine and three, and I think you would make the playoff. 100%.

If you had beaten Texas, Tennessee, and Old Miss all on the road, I think you're in the playoff whether you lose to Louisville or not. 100%. I would definitely take that. Yeah, I mean, it would stink losing to Louisville, but you'd win at Tennessee. Where would our record be at that way? 9 and 3. 9 and 3 if you did that.

So yes, I would take that. I would. It would be a tough pill to swallow to lose the last game of the year to Louisville. But same time, you're sitting there nine and three and thinking you might go to the playoffs. That doesn't come around very often. I'd take that. Not only would I definitely take it, I think it would be really, really good for the program. Oh, yes.

That's it. Did you see the guy who is proposing a college football super league? Did you see this? Didn't see it. It's not going to happen almost for sure. but he's proposing a 72-team college football super league that takes the four major conferences plus like five other schools, Washington State, Oregon State, Memphis, maybe Boise State,

and somebody else. I can't remember who they, Notre Dame. And those 70 school, 72 teams would divide into six leagues, basically like soccer. They would divide into five, or excuse me, six, 12 team leagues, and you would move up or down, basically. on how you, based on how you played. And so you would play the 11 teams in your league,

and then you'd have one permanent rival for us. It'd probably be Louisville that you'd play every year. And then the top two teams or three teams move up, and the top three teams move down, and you would base it, and you would go up and down. And the theory is you would play against teams that are of your caliber and then move up or down accordingly. Do you like that or not?

I think I kind of like it. It's how European soccer is done. Yeah, I think I do kind of like it. Like you said, you're playing a good competition every single night. Here's the bad thing about it, though. When it comes to recruiting, all the guys are going to play in that top 12 league. Yeah. Right?

So, like, they're going to have such an advantage in recruiting that I think it makes it hard. Even if you made that top league, you wouldn't necessarily have good enough players, Mario, to be able to participate in. Yeah. like it, but like I said, it might hurt recruiting. The good thing about it, you get to play teams that are on the same level as you. You would. You'd be playing teams that are very similar to you, and you would have a chance to, you know, you could be competitive in all 12 games in theory.

Well, how does it work in the soccer league? Is it generally well-like? People like that formula? Well, that's what they're used to. It's exciting, but the problem is the same six or seven teams win every single year. And so I think that makes it. hard. But I think people like the able to move up and down. And you would play different teams every year. You know, every year you'd play whoever happens to be in your league. So it's an interesting

idea. It'll never happen because the SEC is not going to voluntarily break up. Too much money there. But it would be interesting to see. Who's up next? Hunter. Hunter. Go ahead, Hunter. Hey, Matt, comment a couple questions. First comment, Sargon Festival in Springfield is this weekend. If anybody wants come out. A lot of festivals, by the way, all around the state. These next two weeks are huge festival weekends all around the state. If you've never been to like a small town festival, you ought to go, especially on this by week and the Sorghum Festival in Springfield. We've been to it before. Yes, we have. It's very nice. But go ahead. Last two things. Did you see the comments that Paul Feinbaum made basically saying Kentucky is a

subpar program and Ole Miss should have never lost to him? Yeah, I know. I mean, no offense to Paul because I do like Paul as a person. He just says stuff because he has to. And I think every day he says stupider stuff just to try to be on. So like saying Kentucky's a subpar program, what is your standard for that? I mean, we have won, I think more SEC games than all but six or seven programs in the last, you know, what, ten years? Well, what subpar mean? Everybody, us and below?

I just, I think that's silly. Exactly. And the last question I had is, do you think there's a chance that we may get game day for at Texas or at Louisville if it's a chance for a playoff? It will not be. There's no chance we'll have it against Louisville. I appreciate the call because you got Alabama,

Auburn, Texas, Texas, A&M, Ohio State, Michigan. We will not have it for that. There is a world where if you beat Tennessee, you could maybe have it for the Texas game, Ryan, if they're number one and we went in like, you know, seven and two or whatever, eight and two, but we're a long way with that. Yeah, there is a world that could potentially happen, but you would have to beat Tennessee, I think, to get that possibility. I mean, we missed our shot at game day.

Game day for us should have been, we should have beaten South Carolina. We had game day wrapped up right there. It was going to be here. They've already acknowledged they were coming if we beat South Carolina. Mario, that was our chance and we blew it. It was our chance. We was right there, and we didn't get the job done. I do like that game day is at Cal this week for Cal Miami.

Did we talk about what they're calling the game? What are they calling? We talked privately. You didn't say it on the show. So it's Cal and Miami. They're calling it Woke versus Coke. Which is actually kind of funny. It's kind of funny.

Woke versus Coke. Woke versus Coke to me is a funny. Yes, it very much is. For those two programs. Who's next? Donnie. Donnie, go ahead, Donnie. Hey, guys.

Nice to talk to you. Montgomery County is Eastern Kentucky. Totally agree. Ryan was wrong about that. It doesn't really get into the mountains until you get to Bath County. Also, I wanted to mention

a transfer because we talked, you talked about UNC Wilmington, a player that played at Kentucky, Carlos Tumor. And the last thing is the Sorghum Festival is Morgan County. There's two of them. There's one in Springfield and there's one. That's the main.

I'm not taking sides. Who has the right Sorghum Festival? There are two of Sorghum festivals, but you all can fight over which one's the best. Court physical therapy. If you need physical therapy, go to court.com. Helps you get back on your feet like you never got hurt. They help you don't need a doctor referral. They'll take care of you.

It is court physical therapy, K-O-R-T-com. Make sure and go, no reason to be in pain, go with court. Speaking of that, how's your vertigo? Better? Much, much better. Thank you to court. You seem better. Thank you.

I'm glad to see it. Mario, thank you very much. Thank you for having me. Appreciate it. Tomorrow we will be out somewhere on a hemp field and you can't come. But then on Friday, we will be at Shady Race. Thank you all for coming out. We'll see you later.
