This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now, here's Matt Jones. Welcome, everyone, Kentucky Sports Radio Monday, October the 7th. I am Matt Jones here live in Lexington, Kentucky. I've been in Louisville all weekend, but in Lexington now at the KS Bar and Gris. where we will be all day.

You can come see us for a joyous day of show and or lunch. I got Ryan Lemon and Drew Franklin. Beautiful day. You can give us a shout at the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. That's 859-280-2287. A Vision Auto Glass Text Machine is 772-744-5-254. This edition is sponsored by the TJ Smith Lobby. It's called T.J.

I'll make them pay. We got a few things here. First of all, Drew is back. Nice to see you, Drew. After vacation. Looks like a fun week. It did some shady rays without me, some corn, bread without me but it's good. Yeah, it was both great crowd at Shady Ray's Friday,

uh, cornbread hemp Thursday out there in the, in the hemp field. And then we had the weekend off, arguably one of the more exciting. We talked on Friday about how it might be the worst college football schedule ever and we should learn. We ended up with five of the 11 top teams losing and maybe the most exciting day. And Ryan will get to all that, but did you spend Saturday watching football or how you went to hanover where'd you go Kentucky Wesleyan how did that go went great yes Kentucky Wesleyan got beat but it was a good visit it was kind of cool for me to walk around my old campus got home in time though to watch the second half of the game we're going to talk about so I bet you I bet you walked around acting like you were big stuff didn't you did you sort of walked around

and kind of like I told you said that that used to be my dorm right there yeah that's where it's still there you just date a girl wait a minute they have to have updated the dorm by then I think the dorm is still there it was all an all boys dorm when I was there now That's boy girl, boy girl. It's co-ed. But again, they've updated it. They've polished it up, hopefully. Probably.

I mean, they would still have fire-burning stoves in there if it was from when you were there. So, so, yeah. Well. You came back on the disabled list. Yeah. Not exactly the same weekend for me, Shannon, that some of the other folks got to have. Did you have a little boo-boo? Yeah, so, I mean, I didn't expect to spend the weekend beginning the emergency room.

But I did on Friday that, so after a shady raise, I drove to, well, I got to eat with my parents. Right there. Then I drove to Louisville. And I think I told you they were painting the doors and the porch and stuff on my house. You did say that, yes. And, you know, this house I'm in is an older house, right? So it's like, it's got wooden doors. I mean, part of the charm of it is that it's old, right?

That's part of why people would want to live there. It's a classic kind of old house. You tell you the big wooden front doors. Yeah, big wooden front doors. They're like from the late 1800s, you know, so they have like a traditional style. But that's not always their disadvantages to that, Andrew. So there was a person who came and painted the doors. You know, you get these old doors and you paint them.

I don't know. I don't understand science, Shannon. I don't know if it makes the wood expand or contract or whatever, but like it can it can make the wood drew be different wood essentially yeah i mean it adds a little layer of paint so yeah i'm not so any goes from like cherry to oak i'm just like it just adds a layer of paint i i don't know and then you know that these doors they were old and they were kind of tight anyway so long story short i get home i try to go out the back door it won't open or won't it won't close to lock right so i'm i'm opening it from inside but it won't close

a lot. So I call the guy and I'm like, what do I do about this? And he's like, I'll come by there tomorrow and work on it. He's like, for now, you know, just push really hard. And I don't know why I thought, Shannon, well, that's a scientific explanation. Just push really hard. Just push really hard. I mean, he's the expert, right? He said just push hard. And you know what? Maybe I don't push hard enough. Did you consider pushing hard before he told you? I had pushed hard by my standards, maybe the answer was push harder, right? So I go and I push and I like kind of put my shoulder, you know, like I'm about to make a hit. Yeah.

And the wood says, I'm not moving. And instead my hand goes through the pain of the glass. Oh, no. Because there's like little glass paint. Uh-huh. Glass shatters. I think what happened is one of the shards that were left just cuts the top of my wrist. And when I say cut, it's a cut.

it's the worst cut I've ever had and it's the most I've ever bled. All of a sudden, blood like gushing. Wow. It's gross, but it's also scary. Yeah, because now I'm in my house, bleeding profusely. Blood is going everywhere. And, you know, I don't know what to do. Call it out.

No, I mean, there's a big sense of if there's somebody there, if I had a nurse around or somebody I knew, you know, well, that might help. But I don't. So then the first thing is, okay, I'm bleeding everywhere. What do I do? So I go grab like a towel, like a shower towel. And I wrap it because I feel like that's what I should do. Good first move.

Well, I mean, I guess. I wrap it, but I'm bleeding a lot. And it, like the towel by the time I got to the clinic, the towel was soaked. Full of blood. And I'm talking like a shower towel, okay? A lot of blood. So now it's like, what do you do? And then I think, well, who am I going to call?

Well, I mean, people are at work. Shannon's probably at some dance club. I mean, like, you know, who am I going to call? I'm in Louisville. If I'm in Lexington, I have a million options. But in Louisville, I have fewer options and they live different places. You know, I was like, I could call. I mean, if I call my mom, like, it'll scare her, but she's three hours away.

She's not going to be able to do anything for me, right, in this moment. So I go, well, I'll just go to one of my neighbors. My theory is, let me find an old lady. She'll know what to do. And they'll know what to do. Go to two different neighbor's house, both of which I don't think of particularly like me, and I think me showing up with a bloody pal on the porch is not going to help. Not nobody's there.

So fine, it's like, I'm like, it's up to me. Right. So I get in the car and I'm like there's an immediate care clinic like a mile away. But it's Bardstown Road at 4.30, right? It's going to take you some time to get there even a mile away. And I need to keep this thing wrapped, but I got to drive, right? And I can't put this hand on it. So I'm one hand driving trying to also not bleed all over my car.

Get to the clinic. And I'm not going to say which clinic it is. I'm not trying to like be down on people. But I walk in, and I'm probably a little bit in a panic at this point, right, if I'm being honest. And I walk in and I say, hey, you know, look at me. It feels like this is what this place is for. Right. Well, they go, they look at me.

They pour some alcohol on it. Oh, did it burn? Yeah. But, you know, it's, and they wrap it. So it's not just my towel. But then they say, like, all right, you're going to need an x-ray on this, and you might need stitches, and we don't want to stitch it up until you get an x-ray to see if there's glass in it. Well, I hadn't even considered that thought.

Yeah. You know. Yeah. And then they said, and to be honest with you, I don't think you're going to need a hand surgery, but if you do, the only place in town where a surgeon is on call is blah, blah, blah. I'm not going to tell people how to do bedside manner. I don't know that that was the right thing to tell. Because now I'm thinking, Drew, I'm going to have to have hand surgery.

It's bad enough they need one on call. Yeah. Right. And I go, well, where's that? And they're like downtown. You know, now it's $450. I'm still bleeding. And to go from the mini care clinic downtown, we're looking now, Shannon, at two and a half miles in rush hour traffic, right?

Yep. It's a nightmare time for something like that to happen. And I go, that's what you, and they're like, well, we can call you an ambulance. And I'm like, but that don't take just as long. Yeah, longer. They say you could call and get somebody to take you. But Shannon, by the time somebody gets there, I'm already got to be where I needed to be. Right.

So I'm like, back in the car. Now, Ryan, that was kind of the panicky time. Right. I mean, I'm still bleeding. Like, I'm bandaged up, but I can still. Are you getting lightheaded at all? No, no, I never. If I had that, I'd have pulled over and called somebody.

I never felt, you know, I think there was so much shock. It hurt, but it didn't really hurt. It was more just like panic. So, you know, and then at that point, one of my friends calls, and I'm like, you just got to talk to me for a minute. And I get myself downtown. They know I'm coming. You know, I'm sure my blood pressure's like through the roof at this point.

They kind of get me to calm down a little bit. And it turns out, I mean, it was a bad cut. I had to have seven stitches. I have to, you know, I might have to go to a hand surgeon this week. Hopefully I won't need anything. But I spent most of the weekend just, you know, it's not bad. It's just discomfort. Yeah.

And it's your dominant hands. You got to do everything left hand. It's my dominant hand. And, you know, so it's at the top of my right wrist. So I can't do things I would do with my right hand, which is basically everything. So I'm trying to eat left. left-handed. Yeah.

You know, I had a friend with me this weekend. That helped a lot. But, like, when that, when they left, you know, then I, me trying to wrap this myself. I mean, like, come on. Like, what am I doing? So it's, it's, it's, I'm here and I'm fine, but it's pitiful. And I, like, I don't know when I'm going to play golf again. I know that's not the worst thing in the world.

But it was a ball's hand. But I was so excited to have nothing. What you're saying? That you're picking up balls hand. What a jerk. I was so excited to have a weekend of like nothing to do. Sitting around watching football. Nothing to do.

And I didn't expect Drew to end up in the ER. I was there for hour because they just kept wanting to make sure it didn't swell. And I was there for hours. I know you don't feel lucky. But if that had been on the bottom side of that wrist, you could be looking at something very, very serious. I know. At the top, obviously people know how wrists work.

But you're lucky as close as it is as it is. First of all, I know that. And I thought that was true, but I don't trust my science, right? So I know the bottom of the wrist, but I was like, does it extend to the top? No, I mean, I did. I didn't know. And they said they thought I might have, like, nicked a vein. That's why I bled so much.

Bled so much. Do you still feel like you got pretty good movement, even if you feel sore? Any limitations? Yeah, I didn't lose any limitations. It's my pinky finger when I do a fist, it's sore. It would swell up and go down and swell up and go down. These wrist wraps tighten it, and it makes my hands swell up, so it's kind of like, what do you do?

And so anyway. I thought you were going to tell us, like you had with a fire situation, you door-dashed, a gauze, and a bandage should have to bring it to you. Well, I mean, I had nothing to put on it at first. I just had to, I just took a towel and wrapped it around, and it was, it was gross. I will say the one thing, the clinic that was like, well, we can't help you. I feel like a clinic. I don't know.

It seems like to me stopping you bleeding in the moment is the thing the clinic should be able to do the most. I've gone to two, I won't name them, two of the kind of urgent places that are just, you know, off in a shopping center recently. I'm not sure anyone's qualified to do their jobs at those. I don't know what's the goal of those places. If they can't stop a person who's bleeding, why are you there? Like, what do you do? What is the thing I could have gone in for and it was something I would have gotten something helpful with?

You think stopping bleeding should be high on the priority list? I mean, I understand they can't perform heart surgery, but like. It's immediate care by definition. Harrison, you didn't really get immediate care. I mean, I got immediately told to go somewhere else. I guess that was care. I can see what that scares you. You're thinking myself, my goodness, it's so bad.

I have to go to a bigger place. Well, I'm really bad about when I see a doctor or something. And this goes back to when I was in the hospital for nine days. I'd like judge how they feel by their faces, which I don't know if that's good or bad. I don't know if you are like that. If I'm on a plane and we have turbulence, I'm always looking at the flight attendants. Even though I know they're trained to not show emotion, I'm looking at them being like, well, she seems cool.

And she's been up here a lot longer than, but if I ever see one that looks panicked, then that puts me in him over me. You know what I mean? Understandably so, actually. So, I mean, that's how I am with doctors, people. And when she was like, you know, you may need a hand surge. I'm like, what? I hadn't even considered that.

So anyway. Well, glad you're okay. Yeah, glad you're okay. You're going to the hand surgeon today so they can just kind of. kind of check it out. Yeah, they called me just a few minutes ago and said I could go today. So I guess that's good. Good.

Good. Anyway. On the disabled list this week. On the disabled list. So for those of you wondering if I can box this week, it's probably going to be a while before I'll be able to do it. 859-2-8027. Got a little Kentucky jersey in here earlier. What numbers that?

Sasha Calleah Jones was number one. Oh, wow. that one? Yeah. Yeah, that one's a little easier. James Young? That's right. James Young, number one. 8.59-280-2-827. One person says, Matt, you like DoorDash. DoorDash for medical relief is called an ambulance. Why didn't you just call that? I don't know. I feel like those are expensive. They're very expensive. And I didn't, you know, I, if I got light-headed, I would have done that. But I felt like I could get where I need to be. Also at the clinic, the one woman looked at me and goes, do you have somebody who can come and get you?

And I wanted to be like, if I did, they would have brought me here. Understand. I don't know anyone, ladies. I mean, you know, if I had someone there. So have you all taken an ambulance ride before? Oh, yeah. I've had to do that a few times. Yeah.

That's all the, if I've been somewhere when I had one of my medical episodes, sometimes people get scared and then they call and I don't need one, but like, then they're there and what are you going to do, you know? I took one after a wreck, and I remember the EMT asking. me if helicopters eat their young and I looked at him like he was crazy, but I guess he was trying to see if I caught that. Yeah. Yeah. Good times. Luckily, we didn't have to do that. All right, let's talk about the game. Vandy. Shannon, you said Friday no chance. No chance they would even cover. And not only did they cover

they won. I didn't even believe it when it was happening. I loaded up on draft Kings, put down $50 for Alabama to come back because I realized or I thought at that moment, hey, they're going to come back. Of course there. We've seen how this movie ends. But no, Vandy, not only they dominated Alabama. See, I thought that was the story. I mean, Vandy was better.

It wasn't fluky. They were better. It had Alabama won, I think it would have been a little bit of good fortune. And how about the fact that Alabama twice takes the lead, Ryan, and Vandy comes back. You don't expect that. And then Vandy needs a stop, or excuse me, two first downs to win the game. You just assume they're not going to get it, and Alabama's going to chance, and then they go and get it. Alabama's defense could not stop bandy.

That little – Diego. He was awesome. He was. I saw a stat where in the last six quarters, Alabama's defense given up like over 60 points, the last two quarters against Georgia, and then all the points of Vanderbilt scored against Alabama. It just blows my mind. And it's even – it's not like the home field advantage was crazy. There were more Alabama fans than there were Vanderbilt fans, and Vanderbilt still won. Yeah, I mean, I'm happy for a bandy, and I'm not even a huge Alabama hater,

but I really enjoyed how the crowd was mostly crimson, people that make that trip, probably a lot of Nashville locals that like Alabama, and they probably planned a big night out, got making a weekend out of it. I mean, do you even go out or you just drive straight back to wherever you came from? You go back home. I think, I mean, like, there are very few equivalents. I mean, the only equivalent as a Kentucky fan would be those would be like the St. Peter's game in terms of like, because, you know, a regular season basketball game,

you can lose. but football you know you just don't cease it's got to be if it's not the biggest upset in SEC history it has to be up there

I mean in terms of no no one I mean they just beat Georgia last week you know I mean no one expects that to happen and Vandy lost to Georgia State

earlier in the year yeah Vandy lost to Georgia State I mean I know they beat Virginia Tech but they lost to Georgia State and so you go and I think they lost to Georgia State Shannon by like two touchdowns I think

It was, it's crazy. It was so big. I mean, did you see the Lane Kiffin Press conference? He stops talking and points to TV and says, we should all watch this. This will only happen once in our lifetime. He stopped taking questions to say, everyone, take a second to look up at this TV. And then Tennessee loses that night at Arkansas. It's the only time of my life I'll ever root for Bobby Petrino.

But I was like, Bobby dial something up right here, you know. Louisville loses to SMU. Got to love that. I went down even with my hand. I walked a long way to St. James Art Fair. I'm not sure that was a great decision because when I came home, my hand was a little swelled. But I did that, and I stopped at a Louisville bar and watched some of that game.

And I'll tell you what's got to be worrisome if you're a Louisville fan is how few people around the campus even seem to care. I mean, the crowd at the game was awful. But I was at bar. I went to two different bars that are right next to Louisville's campus, and there were five people and the game was going on. And there was nobody on their campus at all. And that's got to be more worrisome is that Drew,

it's like their fans don't even care about football. I'm really starting to wonder how many Louis fans are anymore because this isn't just a little we're mad at Kenny Payne. I mean, Pat Kelsey didn't have much of a turnout Friday. So their big blue madness only had 8,600 people. Pat Kelsey is a new coach. Like this is his first appearance in front of the fan base. They didn't even have like the press conference like we did in terms of.

And Ryan, they only had 8,600 people. And then at the game, I mean, they're playing SMU. They're still, little still good. And they had like, it was only like half full. On a nice day. Shouldn't have any trouble. Perfect day. Could have made a double header out of those two events.

You couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Well, you know, we came up with excuses for the one home game. How many people went and say, well, it was. louder than life or is bourbon and beyond. So what's the excuse this week? Well, I was at the St. James Art Fair, and there were, I'll tell you what, there were more people at the St. James Art Fair than the game. But I don't think that's a good sign.

I mean, if an art fair is outdrawing you at a home football game. I mean, the art fair was, Shannon, when did, I went to that art fair like 10 years ago. Yeah. And it was like one street. It's massive, yeah. It's massive. I mean, the St. James Art Fair might be the biggest. event in the states. It's unbelievable how many people are there. But I'll tell you where they're not,

they're not at the Louisville football. Does Louisville have to start scheduling sports around its art fairs? I think Louisville is going to have to take art fairs to their games. They're going to need to put up exhibits, sell caramel corn, matcha lattes, or else they're not going to be able to get people to come. It was unbelievable. It was a good weekend when Louisville loses, Tennessee loses, and Vandy beats Alabama. but my favorite scene of that was the goalposts going down Broadway. Well, all right, so I want to talk about that in the next thing. I want to talk about the whole decision and what the mindset had to be like for that. But I will say, you know, because after I did that walk in the St. James Arfair, I got back,

I was like, I'm not sure that was a good decision. So I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening at home, and I listened to the Louisville Post game show, the Alabama Post game shows, and the 10th of the time. Tennessee post game shows. You can call that hater all you want. I enjoyed it. I'm not going to lie to you. Listen to all those folks.

Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. Welcome back, Tegi Sports Radio. Drew and I were just talking about during the break. Saturday Night Live in these first couple weeks has had Dana Carvey, Dubudin. He does such, like that's the best one I've ever seen.

I've always kind of thought people didn't do him exactly right. And he is, Dana Carvey is perfect the way he gets his eyes narrow and goes, hey, so by the way. Come on, guys. Get serious now. It's a little bit better than Ryan's impersonation. Yeah, I mean, it's, it looks just like him the way his eyes will get tight and then big. And like he's just, I think it's perfect. I tuned in for Burgassee, but the debate opener was just as good.

I thought Gaffigan made a great Tim Walts. Gaffin does a good walls. Oddly, Bowen-Yang is Asian and kind of looks like J.D. Vance, which you wouldn't think he would. Pulled that off? Pulled that off. How about Burgotsie having a day? Because Vandy, Alabama ended probably right before he had to go get ready for Saturday night. And he, as he was leaving the stage, he goes, Vandy beat Alabama.

Like, that's an awesome thing to say on the way out. Very cool, you know, to celebrate that moment because all college football fans were fixing it on that game. I saw that this is, you know, now. 15 or 20 years ago, but I saw with my parents, cat on a hot tin roof in New York on Broadway, and Ashley Judd was in it, and Kentucky and Louisville were playing that day in basketball, and at the end, as she bowed, she said go cats.

She did. From the stage, we beat Louisville or whatever, so I thought about that with Nate Bargazzi, you know, now with Vandy. You're a Vandy fan. Is this the best day ever, Shannon? I mean, how does it get any better than beating Alabama? the number one team in the country. They're only 60 before that.

Vandy sports moment. I know you won the college baseball world series, but is this better than that? Probably so. I mean, just because there's so many eyes on the game. I mean, this is the talk of the sports world. It's going to be all week leading up to next weekend. It's certainly the best Vandy football moment.

There's no doubt about that. What is the best Vandy basketball moment when they made the tournament? No. Probably when they won the SEC tournament. That was one of them. Okay. A couple of sweet 16 appearances with Stallings, and I think they made it to the Elite 8 once. Yeah.

So that's probably about it. Yeah. So got to be great. All right. So the kids, they took the goalpost. They took them out of the stadium, and they took them all the way to Broadway. First of all, what a day for nerds, right? Cal Berkeley hosts game day, and it's the best game day of the year, right?

The signs. How good were the signs at Cal Game Day, right? Not only did you have woke versus Coke, D-E-I versus D-U-I. There was a sign that said, I thought this was a protest, which I thought was great. I only do lines of code. I only do lines of code, which was a really, really good one. I also like I have concepts of a sign. This was at six in the morning their time, right?

Six in the morning their time. They were out there since midnight. love the chant they do. Have you heard the chant they do? What is it? Listen, I'll never do this, Shannon, but it's worth doing. Find McAfee leading the students in their chant. Okay.

It's kind of awesome. You know, I'm not the biggest McAfee guy, but him leading the students when he was like, you know what? We tell the story. Like, it's, I'll play it. I'll give you. But, like, so that was great. Cal, who knew Cal would have a great game day?

And then Vandy. So they take the gold pus, the pose. Get him out of stadium. How far do you think it is from Vandy Stadium to down to the honky tonk? How far is it? Three miles. Three miles. Yeah.

They walked those goalposts three miles downtown Broadway. Amazingly, the police let them go. Not only let them go. They closed off traffic. They had an escort. They closed off traffic for them. Took it down there. My question, though, Drew, is what, when did they decide we're throwing this in the river?

That's an easy decision. You get to Broadway and you're like, all right, I don't want this anymore. I want to go drink and have fun. We've already carried it three miles. We've got to set her down somewhere. Just throw it in the water. That's been done at other places. We go in the nearby river, too.

See, I would want a piece of it. Well, thankfully, somebody had the smarts to say, we've got to get that out of there. Yeah, they pull it out pretty quickly. Chop it up and we're going to sell this for money. See, I would have gotten my piece before they start selling it for money. Because if I carried it along, if I carried it all the way there, I should get a piece of it, don't you think? Well, yeah, but, you know, this was the old style go post. It wasn't the collapsible one.

This was like a heavy steel one. So unless you had a blow torch in your pocket, I don't know if you could. So do you think that it was heavy for all of them to carry it? I was one of the people at the base of the thing when we beat Georgia when it came down. Eventually you have enough people, but they are very heavy. There are people on them. We carried it pretty far in the stadium. I didn't do anything as crazy as Vanderbilt did.

When that's happened. I know that there's always been mythology about what happened to him in Lexington. So when we beat Alabama with Couch, is it true that that ended up at two keys? Like, where did that end up? Yeah, fraternity houses and two keys. And I think somebody was able to chop off some pieces of it. And then the one fraternity had like one whole arm of it. And they were like clopping off pieces for everybody in the fraternity.

So where do we think that is now? Like those pieces, you just think they're spread out over everywhere? Yeah. We have one. Somebody brought one here when we were decorating KS Bar, a little piece of one. Probably upstairs somewhere. Cut it about that big, right? They're going to chop this one up and sell it.

What did you say? They're going to chop this one up and sell it to fans. Yeah, but that's, I mean, I get it, and that's nice, but I would rather, you know. They should make it an NIL deal for winning them. But I feel like you should reward those kids that had it for three miles. They're just going to sell it to rich people. Like, I mean, they carried it three miles. Well, they could have carried it at home.

but they took it to the river instead. Well, the problem is, though, you get something like that. Yeah. Where are you going? I mean, like there's no leader. You're just a group walking. Yeah. Yeah.

Where are you going to put it? And then you're right. Like, there's the logistical problem of how are you going to hack that thing up, you know? I love that overhead shot, though, of it going down Broadway through the traffic and the crowd and the parade all the way down to the river. It was all the shot. But isn't that why college football is the best? Yes. That whole thing.

Yes. I mean, that's why it's the best. There's no other sport where. where that level of upset can happen, and it really means something. It can happen in basketball, and when it happens in the tournament, that's really awesome. It's happened to us two out of the last three years. It cannot happen in the pros, right? There's nothing that can happen in pro sports that's like that.

Take the worst team in the NFL. Who's the worst team in the NFL? Tennessee Titans. Say the Titans. If they beat the Chiefs, that's nice, but like, They're not tearing the goalpost down. You're not tearing the baseball. The best lose, worst team wins all the time.

Basketball, it happens all the time. Hockey, it happens all the time. So isn't this, I mean, part of what makes it great is that underdog, like, that can really only happen in college sports. And especially at a place like. It had to be Vandy. Had to be Vandy. I don't think there's any SEC team that can get that reaction unless it's the nerd. Those are some strong nerds, to be fair.

I mean, that thing's like 500 pounds and they're picking it up. It's not just college sports. I think it's college football more because to upset in football is so much harder. It's usually huge, just size and physicality can be so different, even though they're in the same conference. It's Vandy and Alabama play different sports, and Vandy finally got him. It's just so much more rare in football. So I made the prediction, if you remember, especially this summer, I said the transfer portal is going to lead to parity. Because you can, like now I'm not the only one making this.

there may be other people making it then too. But the premise just is that you're not going to stay and play second team at Georgia and Alabama anymore. You're going to go somewhere else and play. And that that is making it to where these things can happen more off. I still feel like the national champion will be Georgia or Alabama or Ohio State or whatever. But now you can get moments like this and you can get, there's going to be some team make the playoff this year. That has no business making a playoff if you just look historically. But they will because of something like this.

I think the transfer portal in the aisle, while it makes it chaotic during the off season, where it makes it to where, like, you might even not know when the games start is good for the sport. Exactly. And this quarterback for Vanderbilt, he would have never had that moment if not for the transfer portal. Portal allowed him to transfer to Vandy. He's at New Mexico State. None of us seen play. No.

Right? Nobody sees him play. Vandy's starting lineup had like six transfers from other SEC schools that came. Those kids would have never been there, right? It's ultimately a good thing. And with the NIL, I think it makes the upset even more fun. We don't know the books, but I'm going to assume Alabama's players are getting paid a whole lot more than Vanderbilt's players. That's the absolute best part of this whole thing.

All that money that those donors are paying. I mean, imagine you spend all that money in Alabama to lose to Vandy. You know, Milrose, NI. has got to be we could have lost to vandy shan without me paying anything exactly that's what they have to say right exactly that's the best part of it next up for vandy though a team that almost beat georgia the same but i think this is great for us exactly i i did a trump thing where my hands are out here and then i came together i think this is great for us um i think this is exactly what we want yeah right wake them up because now you're not going to have to pump them up for that game i mean we're

still by the way a 13 point favorite that number would have to probably been 17 or 18 before. Now it's 13. But can they beat us? Of course they can beat us. But that was true before they beat Alabama. They nearly beat Missouri on the road. But we have, in my opinion, Drew, a much better chance of winning this game today than we did on Friday.

Yeah, completely agree. Mark Stoop's teams have not been good out of by weeks. Luckett's stat earlier. I don't have it right in front of me. But pretty horrible, actually. This absolutely wakes up to players if they needed it. I mean, you cannot turn on the TV and not see the celebration of Vanderbilt. There's no them sneaking up on you at this point.

And now they look a lot better than we thought they were going to be. But at least, you know, the team is up for it. And if you were wanting to see the scenario where the playoff starts to be a potential, who knows, moment, you got it Saturday. Tennessee got a lost. You know, Ole Miss won, right? Alabama gets lost, beat South Carolina. So, you know, it's good. Court physical therapy.

There's courts all over the state. 70 locations. Maybe I should have just gone there with my bloody wound. I mean, it's probably not what they're there for, but I'm sure they would have done something for me. Court physical therapy helps you get back into shape, back to exactly what you need if you've had an injury. K-O-R-T.com, there's one, for instance, in Beaumont. There was one right there in Barsetown Road. Who knows? Maybe I'll be going to a court physical therapist. We'll see. K-O-R-T.com. That's court.com. Hope you don't need them, but if you do, you've got insurance is taken, no doctor-referrals necessary at court. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSR.

Yes, that was the Pat McAfee doing the, I guess they started doing that like in the 70s. Okay. And it was wild.

I actually turned the game on that night. I think their crowd was more hype for Game Day than they were. But they'd been up for a long time after all that time. I know McAfee is not for everyone, but he's kind of starting a tradition with getting the crowds doing their chant, getting them going. That's cool. I think that's probably the thing that he's the best at of those things. And the guy made a kick for $100,000. Did you see that?

I saw that. I was getting ready to say that. Yeah, not only did they have the huge crowd there for game day, some kid won $100,000. That's pretty good. That's really good. They're selling the goal post, Shannon, $1,000 for a piece. So a little small piece.

Would you pay $1,000 for a piece of the goal post? Probably not. You can have the goal post. I remember the game. I don't need a goal post to remind me. The memory's in your head. You don't need a physical reminder. That's exactly right.

My kid was on the team. I wouldn't pay $1,000. You would? Oh, yeah. I think I would. I love the two brothers of the quarterback. Did you see those guys? They kept showing the brothers.

I think at one point, Tom Hart said, I know where the party is tonight, which is wherever those two guys go, and that was the truth, you could tell. Yeah, Bobby had some language on the broadcast, too. I heard that. I had a good time. I think if I were on the goalpost and a part of it,

I would pay that. Now, if I'm just a fan that was on my couch miles away, no, but if I were part of that experience, I would want that on my shelf to remember. I did, like, after the game was over, people would write me and say something like Matt, I hope we show up to play for Vandy now and don't overlook them. I'm like, really?

You know, they just beat Alabama. You think we should be ready? Like, you know. They just beat Alabama. And last time they were here two years ago, they beat us. Two years ago. Now, you know, historically, people are like, Matt, we always struggle with running quarterbacks.

That was true early in the Stoops years. It hasn't been as true recently. Recently, we've actually been better against guys who run than guys who throw in the last three to four years. Yeah, that's kind of an old Kentucky football problem. The Stoops has moved past that. I mean, and he's put, this current team has put two of the best quarterbacks in the country, have made them absolutely flustered in Beck and dart. So as good as Vandy is the QB.

I'm hopeful Kentucky's defense can kind of put him in the same situation. Same with Nico, too. I'm not afraid of him anymore. It certainly means that now the comment. of usually when we play vandy i feel like it's always a noon game now it's a night game you're going to have all day to get ready it is to me this weekend is the best i mean if you're drawing up a lexington weekend you're drawing this weekend up with all the stuff going on with keelan going on perfect fall weather you know drive through the mountains to get here unfortunately the time of year

that the leaves change keeps getting later and later but you still could probably get a little of that you get Keenland, you get the big blue madness on Friday. You get this game. Kentucky plays Texas, a top 10 team in volleyball. This is the Lexington weekend, and I think that will help us have the atmosphere there against Vann. And it looks like the weather is going to be perfect again. Another great weekend, so it is. And I think our crowd will be show up and be loud and proud for this game, regardless of it's Vanderbilt.

It's still a huge game for Kentucky and the program. You have to win this one. You have to. Yes, you do have to win. But let's talk about now how, again, Things have set up. You got Vandy. We'll find out the Florida game time later today.

It will either be 3.30 or 7.30 there in Florida in two weeks. Then we'll have Auburn here. I didn't realize that the Louisville game is a guaranteed afternoon or night game. Did you know that? No. It's a flex game, but it's not at noon. So the only noon game we have left is Murray State. Everything else is guaranteed to be either afternoon or.

evening. So we're going to get atmospheres for all those games. Tennessee looks mortal now, maybe, wouldn't you agree? Yeah, they were the team that I think I was as scared of the most between them and Texas because they way they play. But after watch what Arkansas did to them, slow them down a little bit, what Kentucky's defense did to Ole Miss slow them down. I feel good about the chances. Missouri lost. Remember I was saying if you wanted to have a scenario where we could do something, we need Missouri to take some losses because their schedule is good this year, so they don't play a lot of the hard teams. Missouri not only lost the Texas A&M, they lost in one of those ways, Drew, where it's hard to overcome, where you absolutely get pounded.

So that's good for us, too. Yeah, they got whooped. Really, Tennessee, I thought Nico's going to be the best thing ever. Turns out they were picking on some of their opponents early. Yeah. And he's only a red shirt freshman. He's going to get better, and he'll still be good. But I don't have the concerns I did right now because he did not look the part in that game or at Oklahoma State before that.

So let's switch to Sunday real quick. Oklahoma. The Bengals. Oh, yeah. What kind of loss was that for the Bengals? I mean, what, first of, he, they just decide to play for a 52-yard field goal. What's that? I couldn't believe when I was watching that. I don't really care. I mean, I actually had money on the Bengals, so I cared a little.

But if I'm a true fan, I'm thinking, what the heck is Zach Taylor doing? And do I even want this guy? That was a horrible decision. That was a horrible decision. Like, how do you, how do you say 52-yard? and the reason you don't do that is exactly what happened. One little mistake, you know. It was third and seven, not third and 15.

They just kind of played to get on the hash mark. The other thing is, if you're playing for a field goal, there's a decent argument that on third down, you do it, okay, just so that if that happens, he could have fallen on it and done it again. Yeah. Right? If you're just going to be playing for a field goal anyway, which I don't think you should do. I mean, what did they think?

I mean, they were given Lamar the ball with a man. minute and 30 seconds, even if they had kicked the field goal. He still would have had plenty of time to get down the field. I just don't understand the thought process. And their offense had been doing whatever they wanted. That was a shootout both ways. And to have a third and seven and say, no, we're fine. We're just going to try this 53-yard field goal.

The announcer even acknowledges a little win behind him, but enough win that I would have tried to get a first down and keep moving the ball. That's what I was going to say Baltimore's defense couldn't stop them. So why did they kind of, you know, not just keep attacking, keep attacking, keep attacking. Lamar is ridiculous, by the way. I mean, Lamar had a couple plays that were like, are you kidding me? That one play where he, he, they fumbled the snap, he scooped the snap, and somehow spun out of a defender's grasp, and then as he's falling out of bounds, throws the ball in the back of the end zone for a touchdown, that was unbelievable.

That's one of the best plays I've ever. Amen. Now, he did fumble it, just like he did against us. Like he does have that, well, he might, he might fumble it down the stretch, but I like him so much it saddens me. Yeah. Because he's a Louisville guy and I shouldn't like him at all, but I can't help it. He's too good. He's so fun to watch. He's so fun to watch. And there's nobody like him in a, in a sport where there are athletes galore at every position. He's the best. Yeah. And that makes him fascinating to watch to me. He's very good. I still hate him. And he has fumble problems. But that play where he stiff-armed the defender and threw the touchdown. Yeah. There's one person in the world. It's like Dillingham's like,

that too in terms of you just can't take your eyes off of him in some ways. All right, we will take your calls now next hour. 859-28027 since Kentucky Sports Radio.
