NMLS 8259 Equal Housing Lender, NMLS Consumer Access.org. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here at the Glen Eye Center in Lexington, the Lexington's newest full-service eye care clinic, the newest one in town here on Town Center Drive. You could come in, Dr. Jason Glenn, 30 years of experience. We've all been getting, you just got your glasses updated. Just got my glasses tweaked a little bit, so. Yes, I'm getting new glasses. Billy is considering getting major heart surgery over there.

And so we're ready to go. We ate some food there at the break. And 859-317-80-88, if you want to make an appointment, just make sure to remember KSR. People sometimes write me, Drew, and say, what is the code for this? What is the code for this? The code is almost always KSR. Just assume if you don't know the code. It's KSR.

Sometimes for like the podcast, it might be Matt Jones or something, but just in general, Drew, assume it's KSR. Punch that in there. If he kicks it back, then tweet us and ask. It's 99% of the time, KSR. 99% of the time. There's a couple open lines a little slow on the phone today. Again, when I talk sports. Yeah.

They want to talk about random stuff. They do. And I like that. I prefer it. Well, let me talk about one thing random that I feel bad about myself that I feel. Okay. So did you watch, do anybody watch the U.S. Open? I did.

I caught up with it. It's hard to watch. Yeah, I didn't really watch a lot. Match by match. But a guy named JJ Spawn won the U.S. Open Golf Tournament. I didn't really enjoy the tournament, but I enjoyed the last few holes because everybody just got angry. It just seemed like everybody was furious that it wasn't working out. But, you know, there's a lot going on in the world right now that's really serious, right?

You have, you got the deportation stuff, you got the Israel-Palestine, you now maybe have Israel-Iran. We have like, there are some reports that we have military. kind of getting on the scene. The president tweets out like Tehran, everyone evacuate. You know, there's nine million people there. That's more than New York City. I mean, they're not just going to be able to all of a sudden get out. So there's a lot of, my point is there's a lot of serious stuff going on.

And I try to educate myself on things. But I think there's a trait that we all have, which is as much as we know we should care about those things and educate ourselves, I can't help but then get caught in the social media world on stuff that is stupid. Yep. So knowing this is going on and knowing that like, maybe I should know if we're on the brink of World War III, then all of a sudden I get on TikTok and everyone is talking about whether JJ Spawn and his wife don't like each other. Okay.

Did you see any of them? No, I didn't see any of that. Okay. Now you would ask, why would, why would you? they say that? Uh-huh. I didn't even, first of all, until five days ago, I didn't know who JJ Spawn was. Let's start with his Jim.

I didn't either. Never had heard his name until five days ago. Why would it matter? Well, did you see when he won? There were multiple times that he never spoke to or embraced his wife. Did you see that? True, you've seen it. Yeah.

He won't. You know how you, when you walk off, you hug your kids. Yes. You hug your wife. and he came over, he hugged his kids, didn't hug his wife. And then later, he thanked his kids, didn't think his wife. And then, so this is, at least in the algorithm of TikTok, I'm on, what is wrong with JJ Spahn and his wife?

And this conversation, Drew, isn't to talk about J.J. Spahn and his wife. I don't know or care. But why did I read all that? why did when I see all that I watch all the videos try to see whether or not J.J. Spahn and his wife are fighting. What is it that makes me, and I guarantee if you all had seen the videos, you would have looked at it to see do they get along or not? Why would I care when five days ago I didn't even know who he was? I don't know. We all have something going on in our brains. About once a night, I'm on my ninth chapter of going down some wormhole that started on Twitter. or move to Reddit to TikTok.

And I just think, why am I doing this? I could be doing anything else in my life right now, but I'm on this page of this person I've never heard of, and I'm invested in it. And they hook us. I think about my grandparents when they were my age. They came home. They were not on TikTok.

No. They're probably tired from working all day. What did they do? Read a book and go to sleep. I don't know if they did. Like, did people just sit and start? stare at each other and look at each other. They definitely didn't talk about JJ Spahn and his wife.

You know, I remember my grandfather telling me that in the 50s, they just turned the TV off at 11 o'clock. And I don't mean in their house, the world turned the TV off. There was no television after 11 o'clock. And then they started adding the news at 11, 11, and then Johnny Carson and Woody Allen, and Paul Allen, whatever, started. at 1130. But, I mean, they did that in the 80s even.

I can remember that as a kid, like where the station would come back on at like five in the morning. So they just turned it off and they said, okay, America. Go to bed. You don't need to be entertained anymore. Go to bed, Cheryl. Go to bed. And I guess part of me wonders, Drew, should we do that? Because when I'm finding myself looking at JJ Spawn and his wife to see whether they hugged,

I decided I got to do. did not be doing this. I love that you'd never heard of him. I think you tweeted you didn't like to enjoy the U.S. Open. I did not enjoy. You committed a lot of your evening to figure out if he likes his wife. And I was studying the videos going, well, maybe they don't like you. You get sucked into that algorithm and all of a sudden it makes you care about things you didn't even have an opinion about.

I mean, I was reading stories to see if in the press conference he mentioned, after. Because I will say, as I watched him make the final putt. She didn't seem all that happy. I was a hell of a putt, too. I wondered after he won, they were like he was up at 3 a.m. getting stuff for his daughters. And I was like, that's great. But maybe on that night, mom could have done that, let JJ get some sleep before the U.S. opening.

They're not going to say she made him go to CBS. Of all the nights for him to go to CBS at 3 a.m. I feel like maybe she could have run that, Aaron. Yeah. When you were a kid, what did your parents do at night? Watch TV. Like, what did they watch? MASH.

Three's Company. Your parents watched Three's Company. That's a little risque. What's Archie Bunker? What was that show? All in the family. All in the family. All in the family.

Good Times. Walton's. Waltz was big. So did they ever do things with the television off? We would play games, board games. What games? Monopoly, Checkers, Chess. You did not play chess.

Oh, I did. I was a part of the chess club. than Pike Central Middle School. You're telling me you. Really? Yeah. Then why do you... I've not played chess, though, in 50 years, but I used to play chess.

You and your mom and dad would sit at home and play chess. Yeah, we'd play games, but usually we're some sports thing going. We're out in the backyard playing catch or shooting baskets with my dad or something like that. Well, I just felt bad about myself that I cared at all about it. And I needed to confess to the general public how disappointed I was in myself. There is something in our curiosity. that we infatuated about people's relationship drama. I mean, that's why shows like The Bachelor are popular.

It's that relationship drama. Bill Belichick. That's why everybody cares about Bill. You're right. You know, we haven't heard anything about them in a while. Yeah, they're quite. You know, I do too. Those kids, they can get through it.

Yesterday on Twitter, a random account posted the football play against Florida, where Trevin Wallace, well, somebody else blocked the kick. Trevin Wallace caught it, ran down the field. And the account said something like, this is the most excited I've ever been about UK football. So I was starting, I was trying to think of, what are the moments, not the biggest wins, but what are the moments where I went the craziest

at a UK football game or watching a UK football game? And my top five, I decided when I thought about it, was at number five, when Austin McGuinness made the kick against Mississippi State. It was big. which guaranteed us to go to a bowl game for the first time in many years, probably saved Mark Stoop's job. Yeah.

Would you agree? Oh, yeah. Probably saved his job. And so that was my number five. Number four for me was when Lamar fumbled. Yeah. When Louisville was basically going, looking like they were going to win, he fumbles. It becomes clear we can win the game.

And just one of the most massive upsets of all time. Number three for me was that Trevin Woff. smallest play that the guy that the guys did where he was able to run you block the kick run it back that's one of the loudest times crogher fields ever had all right definitely because it was just such a surprise that he was going to that he would yeah night game uh being florida such a big moment and then for me the top two are both in the same season yeah number two is lSU the moment where we get the stop brachston kelly get the stop on fourth and one or whatever to win because lSU was number number one, but number one for me, and I'm willing to be convinced otherwise, but number one for

me is Stevie Gallup. It was the joy of having, because Louisville had kind of been dominating us for a few years, and we're favorites in that game, and then he gets open, breaks away, scores, the elation in that stadium was unlike anything else. I got tackled. I still have a scar after the game. One of my friends looked at me and just said, Stevie got loose, and that's kind of become because of my drunk friend, what everyone calls that game. Are there any you would order change or you would have?

I would probably put Couch to East to beat Alabama, and the goalpost came down that night. I was not there that night. And the only other one I thought of you were, I don't know if it deserves me in the top five when Bud Dupree beat South Carolina and he threw the ball up in the stands after he scored the touchdown. That would be an honorable mention for me. That was a great.

First beat Steve Spurrier. First time we beat. That is certainly, if it's, that would contend for me with number five that Austin McGinnis kid. Drew, do you have one? I have some that aren't as high up, but it's where I was because a lot of these in the stoop's there, I'm in the press box on my computer and I can't exactly lose my mind. But before I was nerding it out with KSR in the press box, when Randallockeb caught

to touchdown in South Carolina, I was at huge ass burgers and people just started throwing full pictures of beer in the air. You couldn't walk in there. It was so slippery. It was just pandemonium. We took it out into the streets. up there after that heartline throwed him. I guess was that the Sparrier?

Was that that beat? I don't know. Regardless, very unexpected win. There was also a Randall Cobb went against Arkansas I think where he caught a touchdown there, but go ahead. My other is we were at my house just across the street from Krogerfield when Lindley got the interception to seal the Georgia

game. And we ran across Nicholsville Road into the stadium. What is that? 06, maybe? That'd be about right. 06? Yeah. We ran into the stadium without even having a ticket and we're the first at the goalpost. So those are like maybe my two craziest reactions, even those aren't the biggest plays. I like those. I think you could also throw in in terms of surprise when Lynn Bowden threw the touchdown against Virginia Tech in the ball game. I know it was a bowl game, but you know, we'd run, run, run, run, and then

they throw a touchdown on that last play to kind of surprise it. Also in the ball game at KS. Bar When Wondell juked Iowa on that game winning drive to set up Chris Rodriguez with the game winner. That was awesome. And then when we beat Penn State, the Lynn Bowden kickoff return, I think, was another really, really good one. But he convinced the coach, let me return. He wasn't supposed to be out there. He convinced them, put me out there, I'll run it back. I think if it had been at home in Lexington, the C.J. Conrad catch against Missouri would be great.

It's just their crowd wasn't cheering because we had won. I'm trying to think, you know, the older years, I know they. Yeah, so that was one I wanted to ask you, Ryan. older years because mine none of them are older than 07 you mentioned couch east are there ones from before that or did we just all did we just lose every game or it wasn't on tell so no one knew they beat LSU down in Death Valley on a last second field goal by Seth Hanson one year I remember that one because I jumped up and fell and spring my ankle when I came back down I know we've mentioned Dante a lot but his game where he got the

interception and the fumble recovery against Louisville beat Louisville when they were like 0 and 9 and then that finally made him 1.10. What was the game? Wasn't there a game where Myron Pryor ran back? Ran back something against Louisville. Against Louisville. At Louisville. Rumbling, stumbling, bumbling, like 70 yards, wasn't it? Yeah, one of the biggest defensive line we've had.

I think he's from Louisville took it to the house. You can go Ventrell Jenkins in the bowl game. By the way, that one, that was ridiculous. Yeah. And then Jimmy Whalen, did we win that game? where he caught the, no, we lost that game where Jimmy Whalen caught it against Syracuse in the Music City Bowl or something? Yeah, I don't know if we won that one, but you're right.

I think we lost, but that was a, so anyway, if anybody has other ones. Those are some good ones, though. Those really good ones have been on memory lane like that. Yeah, I was surprised, though, how many, how there were no old ones. Yeah. Like none. Well, there was an era they weren't very good. And then there was an era where we lost a lot of close games.

I mean, remember, pre, it used to be how we going to find a, way to blow this. There's the one play, I guess, where Derek Ramsey's running against Penn State and he ripped his jersey off, like half his jersey's. He ripped his jersey off. Yeah, that one's pretty famous. I've seen that. That's in a loss, also, it's a loss, but Billy Jack Haskins.

Oh, in Tennessee. Against Tennessee. We lost the game, but that's one of the great runs in Kentucky history. Couldn't even raise his shoulder. He's celebrating after he crossed the goal out. With one arm. With one arm. What was the Marty Moore fumble?

What bowl was that the peach ball? It was a lot. It was a top. when those. The NBA finals are here. This is your last chance to bet on the NBA until next season. There might just be one more game for Ryan. That's probably going to be true.

You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a perimenopausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast.

How Hard Can It Be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood, as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive.

Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How can it be getting naked at 50 with a new guy? That one's kind of hard, you know? Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter, and dive into it unfiltered and unbothered and ask,

How Hard Can It Be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public.

It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us. Listen, Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tab Ramos on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back.

It is Kentucky Sports Radio here at the Glen Eye Center. Lexington's newest full service, eye center, 859-3178088 here in Town Center drive off Leas Town Road. Good chance. Some of you may be, you know, never been to an eye doctor, or you don't want to go to one of those big, like, chain stores. You get personalized service. says here, their staff includes local folks who know your name. Fair enough. They know your

neighborhood. Fair enough. And they know your grandma. Stacey, how do you know my grandma? You better be careful. So I found out that at Morgan Wallen's bar in Nashville, they have a picture of his grandma, boots. Yeah. And if I didn't go to his bar because the line was too long, but I wish I had known. I would love to have seen the picture of boots in the bar, although no Boots. She would have been very upset. She did not like alcohol, Drew. And so she would not have liked that her picture was in a liquor establishment. It's sort of water in there, too, I'm sure. I know, but she did not like, she would say she didn't like the vodka. Hopefully it's tastefully done and you put her far away from the actual bar. I hope he put her in

the sober part of the bar because, I mean, he knows her better than I do, but I remember her not being a big fan of the vodka and the gin. Was she the fan of Conway Twitty, or was that? Yeah. She and Francis. Both were the fans of Conway Twitty. So maybe they could put him next to her picture. He should put a picture of her next to him.

That would make her very happy in the afterlife to be that close to Conway. He makes her blood boil. Who's up next? Philip is up next. Philip. Go ahead, Philip. Hey, yeah, I'm a little of a fan by listening to your show anyway, so I like sports. But my question is for Matt.

and all the crew, this basketball season coming up, would you rather win 100% of your bets but Kentucky lose 100% of the basketball game or would you rather Kentucky win 100% of the basketball games if you lose 100%. Oh, I'd easily pick the Kentucky basketball games. Money is temporary, but Kentucky, just think about what we just did going through all those memories.

Ultimately, life is nothing but a set of memories. And money comes, money goes, but memories are what the summation of your life is, not to get all philosophical. So yes, I would want the victories because it's memories, and it's not just that, Drew, you were telling a story about where you were. Like, in those ones, I can remember where I was standing when Trevin Wallace ran it back, right? I remember who I was with against Louisville. I remember that I was not at the LSU Stadium for personal reasons in 07. I mean, I can remember all that, and that's part of what makes it so good. So easily pick the wins over the bench.

I know the table I was sitting at at Hugh Jasperger's and who was sitting in what seat from that night. There are plenty of months where I lose 100% of my bets. I don't even have to volunteer to do that. I can lose bets without having this exercise. So I'm definitely going. You talk about the memories, though. I mean, what a memory it would be if you won all your bets. I remember where I was when I placed that.

Bet, won all that money. Money is not everything. It's the only thing. So Shannon's bet. I just wouldn't bet. I just wouldn't bet that year. To give an example of knowing place of memories. Ryan, you just pick a game, an NCAA tournament game from the CalPereer, and I will tell

you what I was doing during that game. I bet I know what random parking lot was a bad in. Let's try to pick with tough one. How about Kentucky and Indiana up in Iowa? Kentucky and Indiana. We were in Des Moines. Yeah. I was nervous about the game.

I had left the arena. I had walked around the streets of Des Moines, and I watched very little of the game, but I would peek my head into a coffee shop where I had made them change the channel to Kentucky, Indiana, and I stood there at the end and watched them lose. That's a hard one, though. That's a hard one. This isn't that long ago. Kentucky, Wichita State.

Kentucky, Wichita State. I've told this before. I was in the, in, what was that, St. Louis. Yes. In the convention center. No, excuse me, in a hotel, and I'd gone in the basement to an exercise room, and I walked on a treadmill and watched the game while walking on a treadmill in a hotel that I was not staying in. I do remember you being in an exercise room of some sort for that game.

Give me another one. I like this game because I can, I can remember. How about Kentucky, Wisconsin? The Elite 8 game. Okay, Kentucky, Wisconsin, the Elite 8 game. Let's see, that's 2014. Wasn't that in Indianapolis? Yes.

That was in Indianapolis. That was the year in 2014 that I set. This is bad. I got nervous. I got kicked out of the hotel lobby that I was watching it in because I wasn't. I got my car and I listened to the game on Westwood One. driving around the city of Indianapolis. Yeah.

Right. So I didn't actually listen to Aaron Harrison make the shot. And I can even picture where I was on the interstate in Indianapolis when that shot went in. Kentucky, Marquette, 2003. All right, so you're going back a little bit there. That's Twain Wade. I was at Duke Law School. I actually set through all of that game in my apartment or in my house with Joe Davies,

and he taunted me. as we lost the game because he was a Duke fan and he taunted me the entire time. So I do like that you have those memories and that you unfortunately mine are often being scared to be in the arena. But nevertheless, it's fun. Oh, yeah, most of mine are sitting at a computer in the Calipari era, but I still remember exact seats.

What was served at the buffet at the arena? Even though a few weeks ago, I couldn't remember who we played this past year, caught me on a bad morning. You do, you can remember everything about the day, people you talk to. Even for a big regular season game. A big regular season game, I can remember where I was during that game.

Like, I still remember watching Jody Meeks go for 54, and the woman that I was dating at the time going, will you please pipe down and me saying, this isn't going to work? He just broke the record. You and I can't date anymore if I can't be excited about that. He broke the record, and you broke out with her. I did.

We never went out again. She's like, I have an exam. I don't know if it was an exam. But she was like, I have something, and I was like, I'm sorry. Jody Meeks is about to break the record. What do you want me to do? Summer is here. Cornbread hemp is on, is your front porch pass for relaxation,

whether you spend days on the lake, lounging the shade, cornbreads got what you do to make the most of it. They're crisp, refreshing, and pack with five milligram infusion. It's cornbread hemp. Use my code KSR, 20% off your first purchase. It's cornbread hemp. She was in law school. I didn't care about her exam.

That's right. He just went for 54 points. We'll be right back. First of all, Wisconsin, that was in Dallas, not Indianapolis. I initially thought Dallas, I taught myself out of it. I was still on the highway, though, and I remember the spot on the highway. I listened to us lose to Yukon in the next game in the finals, sitting in the parking lot because I wanted to come in and celebrate the national championship

if we won and then we lost, yeah. I remember you and Mike Pratt both said the same thing, that Kentucky, especially Julius Trayton, look scared to death before that Connecticut game. There have been only two games that I can remember where I remember either me seeing or people telling me UK look scared and we lost them both. Yukon and St. Peter's.

St. Peter makes no sense whatsoever. No, it doesn't. It really doesn't. But we ended up losing. One person writes, Matt, you always say about how you're superstitious during these games. You don't believe in aliens. You don't believe in conspiracy theories.

I don't understand why you are so superstitious about games. Because it's different. Yeah. Me standing in the same place during the game, it works. It has an effect on the game. Yeah. It is very important. The rest of this stuff isn't, you know, the moon, there was a moonwalk.

Yeah. A moonwalk. Well, there was a moonwalk too. But me not being in the same spot on the floor will change the game. I have that on NFL Sundays. Big third down stops. I get in the stance in front of the TV. I don't care if I'm laying on the couch under a blanket and half asleep.

Third and short, I got to get up in position to get this stop. And it works about 30% of the time. Which are rate, though, of success, like getting in the shower versus wins. 100%. 100% when what I'm doing is right. Part of what I have to do is figure out what it is true. What is right, okay. What is going to change?

Why wouldn't the shower work after every game or during every game? Like, why would that change? I'm not sure. I mean, I was sitting here thinking during the break of some memories of stuff. You remember when we, in 2013, we beat Missouri, and Missouri was highly ranked in basketball. Julius Mays got really hot in those games. games. That was, I watched that game eating, uh, eating lunch next to Roger Federer and screaming at the Indian Wells tennis tournament. So did you believe you had to be by Roger Federer and eat lunch every time? We didn't make the tournament because Roger Federer would not come

watch the rest of the games. He was trying to get into Roger Federer shower at the tennis tournament to reverse the Kentucky. I had to shut that down. Roger Federer came on the post game show for that game and said go cats. All right, who's next? Court is up next. Court. KRT.com. What's up, court?

Hey, bud. How you all doing? Doing good. I was just wanting to know L.J. Cryer played at Baylor and then transferred won a national championship then transferred to Houston

and could have been the first college player to win two natties at two different schools. That's right. But didn't. Benzel could be the first one to do it as well as Mark Pope being the first post,

being the first coach to win the national championship where he was a player in Warren. Yes, both of those things are, there is a chance for history. I appreciate the call this year. Denzel Aberdeen could be the first player to win a national championship at two different schools, and Mark Pope could be the first one

to win a title at a school as a player and a coach. That would be very cool, right? I'm really excited about Aberdeen. I mean, I know Oteg is probably going to be the star, but Aberdeen, you know, he was, when Florida won the national championship, he was on the floor for the last five minutes of the game. I mean, he was a very vital part of their national championship team,

so he knows what it takes to win the big games. I just want to push back on Otega is certainly going to be the start. I think Otega will be probably like last year, Drew, the most consistent player game to game, and will maybe probably lead the team in scoring, but I think we're going to have a lot of stars. And if I could bet on Draft Kings, which I don't think you can bet on this,

who's going to be our leading score? the favorite should be Otega. But Jaywin Lowe, to me, you could get good odds on. Because I think there's a very good chance Jaywin Lowe is our leading score. So I think we're going to have games next year where six, seven, eight different guys could be the leading score.

Maybe not eight, but five, six, seven guys could be the leading score. I think O.A will still be the leading score, but I think his average will actually drop from a year ago because it'll be a lot more balanced, especially the shooters around him. If they're a really good shooting team, I'm watching Lowe to put up huge assist numbers

because there's a lot of talk about him. Even Pat Kelsey raved about him. He'll get to the rim and then kick it right back out for an open three. Pitt just didn't have the pieces around him. I think he could really bring that next year if they're knocking down shots. I don't think our fan base realizes how good he is. I think because a lot of people wanted the kid from New Mexico, what was his name?

Richard Dent. Donovan Dent. Donovan. Richard Day. Richard Day. He played for the Bears. Yeah, it was Richard Dent's. I don't think, I think people are underestimating how good he is.

And I think he's going to be really good. We need him to be really good. Yeah. But if he's really good, I think people are going to be surprised how good he is. If you hadn't to make a prediction right now, who gets the most minutes as backup point guard? When Loahead needs a blow here there, who ends up getting the most minutes as our backup point guard? Aberdeen or Jasper Johnson? It depends on how Jasper Johnson, what he's like.

Yeah. I think that he's, again, you don't have to, like, think about how we played when Jackson Robinson was our point card. It doesn't have to be a point guard. I mean, Amari would bring the ball up sometimes. I think you could just see a lot of different guys bringing it up. I think Jasper Johnson could be your lead playmaker in that scenario. But probably Aberdeen, is that what you would think? I'd probably pick Aberdeen.

I still think Colin Chandler's going to have the ball a lot. I'm still expecting a big breakout from him. But I think behind Lowe, who will play. the bulk of the minutes by far. It might be a balanced. Low is leading the team in minutes. Sure. Yeah, it's the only spot they're not a true too deep.

He's got to stay healthy. He will lead the team in minutes. Who's next? Andy is next. Andy, go ahead, Andy. Hey, Matt, two things. So first off, I was in the student section at Commonwealth Stadium for the Louisville and the LSU game that year.

And the loudest pop I've ever heard there was when we thought we had the pick six against Georgia last year. And it stinks because how the season went, how the game went. But that was the louder. That is a great call. That is a great call. Because if you're just talking about when I lost my mind the most, last year when they got that pick six against Georgia might have been it.

Because I appreciate the call. That was, I thought we had won the game. You know what I mean? Like I thought we had pulled like one of the all-time upsets. That's a great call. We will forget it because we didn't win. But Mario can tell you, I just about broke that ESPN dude's house. I mean, I was at the head of ESPN Radio's house with Mario.

We were watching the game. They hadn't even let us in the house yet. Remember, we were watching the game through the window. And there were 200 ESPN employees standing outside. And Mario and I, we were knocking their furniture over. the patio furniture. I lost my mind. Basically, the whole party moved inside to watch the game because of how crazy Mario and I were going. I was about to say, what kind of host makes you stand out in the yard? Doesn't even let you in the house. At that point, he hadn't even let us in the house yet. Let the man in to watch the game. But then when they saw us go crazy, everybody looked at us, and then all of a sudden everybody came in the house to watch the game.

Think about the narrative how it would be different if that play stood. If that was a touchdown pick six, we beat Georgia. The narrative of us talking about UK football today, completely different. we beat Georgia, just think about all that could have been different. I think that season might have gone differently. I do too. Vince Merrill might still be here. I was going to say that. I mean, everything, and it was, and the play was made, it was just a, it was a call. Yeah.

Right? It was a call. And then you get conservative at the end. They'll go forward on fourth down and still lose the game. But, yeah, I mean, that changes all of last year. You can live with a Vandy loss if you had beaten Georgia earlier in the season. Yep. Everything could be different right now.

One that's not to that level. One that's not to that level, but came up my mind of us just going crazy. When Dane caught the touchdown in Oxford that got called back, I mean, shirts came off. We were running up and down the aisles. We hadn't seen the flag. Kentucky fans were going crazy thinking Dane had caught a game winner at the end of the game, and then it got pulled back. What you talking about at Ole Miss?

Just three or four years ago, three years ago. Dane's freshman year. Oh, it's freshman. Yeah. It was a catch. But none of us there saw the flag on the ground. The Kentucky section was going absolutely. And when Berion got it this year.

True. But Berion got that bomb this year and caught it. That was a lot fun, that old Miss game. Because, again, the best wins are unexpected. And that one was the one that was very unexpected. Let's quickly go over the other sporting events real quick. NBA finals, you sad? Oh, when Halliburton got hurt and O'KC went up by 18 in the second quarter, I knew it was over.

Patriots made a good run to the end, but with Halliburton out, they're just a different team. Casein Wallace couldn't start at Kentucky, or excuse me, Casim Wallace, you know, wasn't allowed to be the point guard in Kentucky. Severe Wheeler was, and yet still gets double-ditches in the NBA finals game. I saw Shea had 30 again. It's like Shea, Kobe, Michael Jordan, LeBron, or something like that. The only players to score 30 points 15 times in the postseason. Murray State is out, Shannon.

Arkansas throws only the third no-hitter in college World Series history. Yeah, first one since 1960. Could have been the first ever perfect game in college world series history. didn't hit a guy on the eighth inning, but I'm sad that Murray's out. But you know what? That's a great accomplishment just to get there for them. No kidding. Another great interview with Dan Skirka after it was over.

If you haven't seen his post-game interview the coach, he says, you know, you're not supposed to cry in baseball, but sorry, I'm going to cry. And he's sitting with his son, and it was very cool. Yeah, he said only one team is supposed to leave here happy, but this year two teams are going home happy. That's a great line. Yeah, I watched that entire game, didn't miss a pitch. That dude was so dialed in.

He had 19 strikeouts. 19. And at the end, his first thing, comment is like, I shouldn't hit that one guy. It would have been the first perfect game. He was. He seemed almost psychodialed here. Yeah. Because they were like, hey, you're happy about your no-hitter? Shouldn't have hit the guy. What stinks is Murray played really well. I think it's third or fourth inning. They could have get up a lot of runs. Only gave up one. It was 1-0 for most of the game, but they just couldn't get a hit off Gage Wood. It's crazy because they'd hit on everyone and then couldn't get a hit last night. Are you road-tripping to the beach? Or maybe just a commute to work. Dom Franklin's family dealership, 6,000.

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.

Quarterback on office blue of 42. Hey, rep, my mama want you to wave at her. What? Where's she at? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Clippers show on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. American soccer is about to explode.

My only concern is what happens in the back. The biggest decisions. If you're going to look at stats and numbers, he has no shot at making this World Cup team. And the truth about the U.S. national team. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if, our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here.

Absolutely. Now a redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip, just a little bit bigger hips, wider. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drink. Sidebar. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer?

Oh, they had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Do you want a white collar or something here? Just take it. What are y'all doing? Microphones? Are you making a rap album? Oh, I would.

Come on. Could you imagine? I would buy it. Cuts through the defense like a hot knife through sponge cake. That sounds delicious. Oh, you're like. I'm not a drug addict. You're lucky.

I'm not an alcoholic. You're lucky. I'm not a killer. I love this team, and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Oh. Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back. It is Techie Sports Radio here at the Glen Eye Center.

Great host. You could come in, mention KSR, make an appointment. free opto map and retinal exam. They also are having a giveaway over the next week or so, which includes sunglasses, UK gear, and an autograph Mark Pope photo.

Nice. I think Larry was hoping we'd run into Mark Pope there yesterday. I knew he wasn't there. So I was going to, like, I was going to, like, dress up as Mark Pope and me. You think you could pull him? Yeah.

No, but I was like, you know, I am Mark Pope. I hope they probably told you when you went to that one end zone, it's a lounge area, the wood walls are the old wood bleachers. So the wall on Memorial Coliseum, one of the sides are the bleachers from alumni or from Memorial Cosium back in the 50s. That's so cool, I think, to do that.

Retain preserving history. Yes, exactly. Yeah. It's always amazing to me what Larry can remember because I'll be like, hey Larry, this is Anthony Davis. Remember him? And he'll be like, I mean, a little bit. And then he'll just all of a sudden look at a picture and go, that's Cliff Barker. Anthony Davis was just a few years ago.

He's on TV all the time. But Cliff Barker... He wasn't impressed about that. Got Cliff Barker. That'll be all of us one day. I'll be pointing out Duran Lamb on a black and white photo that's 40 years old. I completely got Duran Lamb. Everybody else...

Speaking of Duran Lamb, did you see who joined him on TBT? That'll be playing a memorial. So Anzley Almanor is going to play on the TBT team. Mario's probably as excited as anyone in history. His favorite play. on his favorite team. I would think he's going to be really good because, I mean, he's like fresh out of college. Fresh legs.

You got to think Ansley Almanor is going to be good for that, don't you? Just spot him up in the corner and let him shoot threes the whole game. He can knock them down for you. Are we going to be good? Well, I don't know. Of course we're going to be good. Yeah, we need to Stina. He was on our team.

We got Lamb, okay. Liggins, okay. Willie, the Harrison Twins. All right. And now Elmador. I don't think I'm missing any of those different than what we had last year. Almanor's new, Lamb's new, Lans new, Liggins is new. Harrison's worth the starting back court last year.

Last year, though, our best player was Sestina. Yes. I'm certainly the most passionate. I mean, when Willie turned it on, no one in TBT could do anything. Does he have a vacation schedule? He better not. That's why they lost last year. But I went in his Cantor's brother back, too, Karam Cantor.

He was one of the stars. He played really well. I think they're going to be good again. And Almanor, being as young, I know he's old for college, but some of these guys in TBT, you're getting off work and getting to the gym. I wasn't here for any of that. So I'm excited to be. I didn't get to see any of it.

I mean, I didn't get seeing any games. I wasn't here for the excitement. I didn't get see Drew get punched. I didn't get to see any of that. So I'm excited to be here for that. The show we did where eight of them just rotated this segment was so fun. The whole community kind of embraced that team. I mean, they really got behind it.

Like I said, Mark Pope even in that last year's team kind of embraced them and followed them along the way. Should be fun. And we host, too, for at Memorial. Yep. First two rounds. that goes back to Yum for the region. So we have to play them in the region again if we get there?

If they get there. If they get there. If Louisville gets there. Yeah, well, they're going to lose. Of course. Who do they have? Vince Merrill. Is he going to both stuff?

The spitting guy on Oahu. He'll be spitting on everybody again. That'd be fun. It'd be nice to have a, I'd love to go this time. I'm sure I'll be the one to get punched. Who's next? Brad is next. Brad.

Go ahead, Brad. Hey, Matt. First time caller, long time listener. I wanted to add to what the caller said before about the Georgia play. Kind of the football for the Kentucky football, what ifs. The Boom Williams play against the Gators in the swamp. I think it was Marksuits like third or fourth year where we thought we were going to end the shrew. That to me was the biggest Kentucky football.

Play clock. They cheated on the play clock. Oh, yeah. It ran down to zero before we snapped it. They were cheater, cheater, pumpkin eaters on that one. Yes. You're right. Well, the game at Florida, but there was also a game in Lexington during that time.

That was the hold. That was the hold. I think it was a bunch of a hole. It was a, yeah, bad call. Biddy broke a big run to set them up and it got called back. Yeah. Man. Also, I wanted to add the top five honorable mentions in football,

the play where Randall Cobb caught the fourth and five touchdown against South Carolina from Mike Hartline. I was there at that game. That was the first time we had beaten Spurrier, I think, ever. And it was one of the craziest crowd pops I've ever seen. That's all I got. Appreciate it. Yeah. That's the one I mentioned.

I left out that I left the game at halftime to go to Hugh Jasberg. I was in the stadium and left. That was when we were. Okay, so what was the game where we sort of broke out the whole lot of money? That was South Carolina. That was with Jojo getting carried off. Oh, that was a great one. That game has so many iconic moments.

They could not stop Jojo. I mean, they just, they just, wildcat, wildcat, wildcat. And the street coach literally had to carry him to the sideline and get him off the field because he was cramping up so bad. I had the bud tip that we already mentioned. Yep. Oh, that was a great one. Man, I hope we have at least one positive memory this year.

It might have been the first ever black chrome. Oh, dude. Wait till we get our Toledo moment. Oh, yeah. Who's up next? We're talking about it for years. Horace is up next. Horace.

How are you Horace? Great, Matt. Hey, thanks for taking a call. Of course. Hey, two quick football memories, both involved in Tennessee. 1984, 20 or 30 of my fraternity brothers from Sigma O went down and saw Dollar Bill Ransdell beat Tennessee. All right. What's the other one?

The COVID year, my son Wyatt and I went down to Tennessee when Jamon Davis and Bossman Fatt both had pick sixes. That was great. The pumping noise for the crowd because the crowd was silent because we were whooping them. That was a great one. I appreciate that. Two pick sixes against Tennessee in Knoxville, the Jamon Davis, and the good memory on Bossman Fat doing it, although he was involved in a terrible thing in the last week or so. But yeah, that was a great one.

He whooped them. Was that Garantano? I think I can still hear my dad cussing that guy out. We got our next pick six.

Mario's going to end up with those. Yeah. Can I ask how much are those? $1,200. But you've got a computer on your face. That's right. Play music. A friend on your face.

You don't need earbuds. Play Spotify. Laptop on your face. They're arguing about the price. Huh? $325? No prescription. You got to build it.

So that's it? I would have thought it'd have been a lot more than that. $325 for a friend. Get you a pair, Mario. Charge it to eye heart. All right, good. Thank you all very much for Glenn. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio.
