Welcome, everyone. It is the local toy dealers KSR post game show. I'm Matt Jones here. Another Tennessee loss, 2818, tonight in Neeland Stadium. You can give a shout. It's late at night, but we fall back here, Billy, right? So everybody can stay up. 859-280-2287.

We can talk about the game or you can sort of talk about, you know, what happens with the program going forward. Three more weeks, five week, next week, but then three weeks. And I don't know. I don't know what happens with UK football and stoop's after that. I actually thought Kentucky played decently well tonight, all things considered. I mean, they lost their quarterback early in the second half without a couple of running backs. Barion got hurt early in the game in the first quarter.

The defense had five starters out, lost a sixth during the game. You know, they were beat up, and all things considered playing on the road at Tennessee, seventh ranked team in the country who you've beaten two times there in 48 years. I thought being competitive and having a shot was actually quite an accomplishment. It doesn't sort of excuse all the things that have gotten to this place. I mean, we have three straight games, I think, with Florida, Auburn, and Vandy that were really unacceptable performances. But I didn't really feel like this was one of them.

I think a lot of the frustration fans have are about those other. games bleeding into this one. As for tonight, you know, too many mistakes to win, ultimately. I think the game probably turned on the sack fumble, which also, of course, got Brock hurt. I mean, I think that's the key play of the game. You would, you know, you would set them up. They got the ball. They'd missed the field goal to start the second half. It's 10-7. You have the ball. You're driving. You are even in field goal range. I mean, you have a chance to go up 13 to 7, and then you take that sack, and, and, uh, it's just a, it's a terrible play. I mean, it was offensive line, which held up pretty well in the first half, just kind of collapsed in the second half, especially on those

back-to-back drives, the one where Brock got hurt, and then the next one where we just got blown up, um, with the first drive with whims at the offense line just, you know, it's just not good. And our, our tackles are not are really bad and then the interior guys actually thought played pretty well most of the game against a really good defensive line but then in the second half it just kind of fell apart offensively I really loved how they started the game the scripted part of bush hamden's play calls those first 10 or 15 we looked great makes you wonder sometimes why don't we why don't we keep doing you know what we do at the beginning they used wilcox a lot They went downfield, and then they went away from Wilcox and stopped going downfield.

And then once they were down 10, kind of went back to it with Wimson, and it worked again. So makes you wonder why we get away from that sort of in the heat of the game. I thought the defense played pretty well, but you know, you just can't ask them to be out there all the time having to get stop after stop. The margin of error for this team is so small. because of how bad the offense has been. I mean, the defense cannot make a mistake because if they do, they're going to, they're, you know, it's over. And I thought that's kind of what happened today.

They just, the whole first half, it felt like we were kind of hanging on, hanging on, hanging on, hanging on. And then I think with the, with the sack, fumble, and the injury to Brock, it just kind of fell apart. I thought it was when down 11, 2110, I thought the, drive where they go score with Wimson was a very positive drive. It looked like they were playing loose, 2118, back in it, and then they get the ball. And, you know, I think part of why I sort of have the opinion that I don't think the game was a complete disaster is you had the ball in the fourth

quarter down three. You tell me before the game, that's the situation. I'm probably going to be pretty happy about it. But the problems for this season are not tonight. I mean, it's not losing at Tennessee. I'm not sure if any of us really felt like we were going to win, even before the season started at Tennessee. The problem are these games the past few weeks and just the overall vibe of the program. You know, you heard Tom and Jordan say they didn't get the sense coming into this that the team was really all into it at all, which makes even tonight's performance maybe a little bit more surprising because I've got the sense from then that they kind of thought this could be a blowout this evening.

So you get a buy now. Basketball season starts Monday. I think most people's focus now is going to that. And for the football team, it's going to be just kind of playing out the streak. It's a tough night. You lose to your rival. Louisville gets a huge win at Clemson in a game that in many ways was what you, I guess, had hoped at some point this game would be.

and the question is what's next. I think there's a lot of the fan base kind of done. I think most of the fan base is done with the season. And then there's a portion of the fan base done with the staff, and I don't really know where it goes from here. A couple things on this game. The officiating crew building was awful. And I don't mean like necessarily anti-Kentucky,

He just like didn't seem to know what was happening was so disorganized. You know, one guy was like, my bad, there's 10 less more seconds on there than I realized there at the end of the first half. They missed that call where Brock gets knocked, gets hit by the guy out of bounds. And he just made the game. The game was like four hours and 15 minutes, Billy. Why couldn't you have made it be shorter? That was awful. It was really bad.

And then the clock operator did whatever he wanted to do. Yeah, the clock operator was like, why? in a different game. It's just sometimes start to clock, sometimes stop it. They gave Tennessee, by the way,

four timeouts in the first half. I don't know if anybody noticed that but me, but that fourth timeout they called, they didn't have a timeout. Go look at the ESPN game log. Tennessee took four timeouts.

Unbelievable. How did they get to take four timeouts? I don't know. But to be fair, though, they missed three field goals. They dropped the touchdown, maybe two touchdowns. So it could have been a lot worse.

We didn't lose the game because the officials, but it didn't look like we got the A-plus crew this week. As far as Tennessee, you know, their fans booing the players being hurt is a pretty low act by them. You know, that they will claim, and this is true, that teams have been faking injuries against them to slow them down over the last three years. And I think that is true, having watched Tennessee games that teams do do that. I don't think Kentucky has a history of really doing that. There was that one time, remember we had a guy do that. Was that last year, Billy, the one guy? I can't remember what game it was, but he sort of faked.

Was it the flop? Well, the flop was, yeah, that was in the ball game. Oh, yeah. That was ridiculous. But I don't, here's the thing. Faking injuries is terrible. But the SEC literally yesterday sent out. out a memo that said if you do it, we're going to be watching for it and you're going to get

suspended. Do people really think Kentucky would have for the first time this year decided to start doing that tonight? And the other thing is, if you're going to think somebody's faking, you better know they're faking. And those guys were not. And I'm glad Tom Hart and those dudes called them out, especially the chant, I don't have to say what the words are, but you heard it, went over the air. You know, Tennessee fans are. what they are. I think they are the U-Conn basketball fans of football.

And, you know, they got a good team, but I wasn't surprised by the actions tonight. Still, though, a heck of environment. Take those people out of it. The black and the lights and the crowd, man, I mean, they know how to do a home game. And

the crowd makes a difference there, and I think it made a difference against Kentucky this evening. 859-2-80-22-80. We will take your calls. Billy and I, it's a late night show. This is probably going to be the latest one we've had this year. And after a loss, so we'll talk about what you want. We get an extra hour of sleep.

Election is two and a half days away, Billy. Have you voted yet? I have not, no. Yeah, I voted today. It was fun. It was fun. I mean, I don't know if fun is the word. It stood in line for, I don't know, a half an hour.

Oh, fun. I really prod myself, Billy, then, you know, the way they did this, you walk up, and then this woman lets you choose. There are five different individual lines, and I consider it a very important game to pick the line that will go the fastest. The shortest, yeah. And if I don't, I'm very upset at myself. So I judge the lines. Today I tried to judge which of the little old ladies behind the counter I thought would go the quickest.

I think you were judging them as you waited in line. Well, I mean, you got to figure out which line you think is going to move the quickest. Let's just say I judged the wrong one. I think I don't think mine knew, understood the new technology. So I didn't. I think I came in fifth out of the five at last. Did you get a sticker? They don't do stickers now.

They do these little like paper wristbands that are cheap. I don't like that. That's lame. I vote against the Jefferson County clerk most years because they won't get the stickers. The Jefferson County clerk should have stickers. I didn't know. By the way, why do we vote on four soil and water commissioners? Four.

There's four of them I got to choose from. Four out of six. Of course, I didn't know any of them. So how are you supposed to know who to vote for for that? I consider myself educated. How are you supposed to know the soil and water commissioners? I guess yard signs, right? Well, but I didn't see any soil and water yard signs.

Did you? No. I mean, would you even, first of all, it's not partisan, which I don't know. It shouldn't be because I don't think water and ground are partisan. But literally, how are you supposed to know, Billy? Who's who? I don't know. I guess you're supposed to be an informed voter.

Well, you want to know what I did? Just so you know, there were four women and two guys. And I thought, you know what? I feel like the women are going to care for our dirt and water more. Oh, you went all women. Okay. I did. I went all women.

I was like, you know what? I just feel like the women are going to do this better this time. Okay. But I have no idea. 859-2-80-2287. We're going to take a break. Take your calls. Cats lose 2818 at Tennessee.

This is the local toy dealers, KSR and post-game show. Welcome back. It is the local toy dealers, KSR post-game show. Looks like Billy, the Tennessee fans have found the link to this. So just be on the lookout for it. I mean, generally speaking, you can kind of like feel them when they come through. You know, I can't hate on him for doing that because I like to do that with Tony Basileo. You do the same thing.

Well, I mean, I don't call his show, but I do like to listen. Had we won tonight, I was definitely going to put in a good hour of Basilio, listen. But, like, I don't know about you. I never thought we were going to win. At any point, did I not think. I mean, you know, some of this is the fact that, what, in the last 40 years we've won twice? I mean, I just, I always assume we're going to lose to Tennessee. Always.

And I always will from now on. I let myself believe it there for a few years, and we did win a couple times. But I'm not, Billy, I'm just never going to assume we're going to beat Tennessee. Yeah, it's the hope that kills you. It's the hope that kills you. Is that Ted Lassow? I don't know. That comes from something.

It's a good show, though. I really like, but that show just keeps getting better every season. I still haven't finished season three yet. I'm on my watch now. But by the way, one thing before we go, when I was in line, to vote. Okay, there was this woman. And you're judging old ladies, yeah.

No, I mean, it was a long line. Like, it was out the door. So, like, I was, you know, I was in there for, like, 30 minutes. And there was this, this woman in front of me, and she clearly was wanting to talk to people. And so she was talking to people about who she was going to vote for. So she was, like, explaining everybody why she was voting for Trump.

And you know me, Billy, like. Oh, no. Did you, did you have to say something? I wasn't going to get into it. I'm like, why am I going to be able to convince her? Plus, you're not allowed to electioneer next to the poll. I don't know if you know that. You're not allowed to tell people who vote for it.

No, I didn't know that. That's against the law, actually. You can't. I mean, I don't think she knew that. But plus, I'm not going to convince her, so I'm not going to get into that. But then she just looked at me, and I hadn't said a word and said, what should I do on amendment two? Now, she was asking me for my opinion. I hope you didn't electioneer her.

No, I didn't. I said, well, I mean, you should do what you want. I said, but I'm voting. No. And she goes, well, that's good enough for me. and she had not spoken to me the whole time. So do you think that was that? She just wanted someone to tell her, Billy, what to do?

Just someone? A little confirmation bias, maybe. She was so confident about her other votes. But on that one, she just, like, put it up to me. So I don't know if that's technically election engineering. Sounds like it is. But she asked me, so was I supposed to ignore her, Billy? You're supposed to not break the law, Matt.

It sounds like you're going from polling. But she asked me. She said, what are you going to do? What should I have said? Shame, Matt. Shame. I don't know. I feel like I didn't have a choice.

She asked me and she was a little old lady and she seemed nice. All right. Who's up first? Cole. Cole. What's up, Cole? What's up, guys? What's going on?

First off, Billy, did you wear your special socks today? I got no special socks on today, Cole. That's why we lost. That's probably the reason What socks Billy had? What'd you think of the game, Cole? I don't know. It was pretty disappointing.

I was going to ask, if you think that no one got injured, do you think we would have won tonight? No. But I think it would have been. I think we, I appreciate the call. I think, well, if we'd come into the game fully healthy, I think it would have been a very competitive game, but we weren't fully healthy before it started.

And then I think once brought, Now, granted, whims that took us down on a great drive, but I think without Brock, we're just so limited in what we can do. But the bigger issue for me was in the secondary, because Tennessee's quarterback, Nico, is not, I don't think he's all that great. And if you could really put pressure in the secondary, make him make tight throws, I think we would have had a chance to make some plays, but we just didn't.

I mean, we were playing, we were playing guys in the secondary who had not played all season. At one point during that period of time where a story was out, all four starters in the secondary were different guys, like we're not our starters. Story came back, but, yeah, but even if we were 100% healthy, and if we had no injuries during the game, they're better than we are, and they're on their home field, and it's Saturday night, and, like, you know,

how many times do they lose? at home at night. It ain't off. I mean, even when they've been bad, they've been good at that. And so, no, I don't think we would have won. Again, we losing by 10, all things considered. I actually think it was not a bad performance. Who's next?

Jay Witt. Jay Witt. What's up? Hey, what's up, Matt? What's going on? Oh, I'm at this point, man, I'm just ready for Wright State. You know what I'm saying? I'm over football.

a lot of fans like you in that. Yeah. Let's get the basketball. Let's get the Pope train rolling. I mean, it's that time. You know, there's nothing else to say. Let's get it rolling. Polk train, baby. Beating it. Let's go. Pope train. All right. I appreciate the call. This is, I think that says a lot, though, about kind of where the fan base is. The second call is, let's get the Pope train ready. And by the way, Pope got a commitment today. a Caden Lewis, number 25 ranked player in America, pick Kentucky today over Duke and Yukon. It's pretty good.

Mark Pope is, at least on the recruiting trail. I mean, he's done everything you could do in the first six months of a tenure. And now, start Monday, he's just got to go win games. Who's next? Tucker. Tucker, what's up, Tucker? Hey, Matt, how you doing, bro? Good.

So honestly, echoing the same guy, same thing last guy said, big on the folk train for the basketball season. But wanting to pose the question for the transfer portal and the quarterback question. I know Brock's been a disappointment this season and not happy with his performance. What do you think would have happened if maybe we got Kyle McCourt instead? Do you think things would have been a little different? Yeah, maybe. But I, I mean, there comes a point, though, where. Is it the player or is it something broader?

I mean, we've had, you know, who are our best quarterbacks in the Stoops area? Well, I mean, Will was probably one, but who was number two? Love Will. Terry or Stephen Johnson? So, I mean, but it probably was. Like, they had the most success. So I don't know. I think Brock is fine.

Is he great? No. But I think he's fine. but let me ask you a question with that offensive line like on the play where he got knocked out like what's he supposed to do you're totally right i mean what's he supposed to do like i mean the dude was in his face and knocks him out like what's he supposed to do yeah i mean you're right man o line is oline's the biggest the biggest question mark and the biggest problem i mean brock can't can't do too much more with that but still got to ask the question i wonder i wonder

I don't know. I don't think he was, I think Kyle McCord was, I mean, if we had, you got to go back to it. I appreciate the call. So you got to go back to the way it played out, which was you thought Liam Cohen was coming back. And Brock was who Liam wanted for Liam system. And then he was here and Liam leaves and you end up getting Bush. It's likely the case that Bush would have picked a different quarterback. And it's likely that Brock would have picked a different school.

So Liam leaving kind of created a little bit of a mismatch fit. And I don't know what you do about that. I mean, Liam left. You know, Liam, I don't really blame Liam. But Liam said to Stoops, I promise you I will stay two years. Then he leaves. Now, do I blame him? He got an offensive coordinator job in the NFL,

and he's having a lot of success. I guess I can't really blame him. for that, but it also put them into where they were kind of in a weird situation, and that's how you end up where you are. You should. I mean, you were going to have Graham Mertz until Liam came in and said he didn't want Graham. Yeah, but Graham Mertz hasn't been good, haven't. No, but it'd be different. It would be different. I'd be interested to see who Bush would have gotten had he gotten to pick it, right? Like, I don't know exactly what he looks for in a quarterback. He probably would look for a guy who's a better version of Gavin Wimsett,

but I don't know who that would have been in terms of who was available. So, you know, pretty much everything that could have gone wrong for this group has in some ways, including that. I mean, just the timing of that. You're exactly right. The timing of all of that, Graham Mertz, to Liam, to Brock, you know, Devin Lear. Like, just all of it was kind of, kind of just, we were one step. behind on all of it.

So who's next? Jordan. Jordan. What's up, Jordan? Hey, what's up, guys? This is like my third week in row, and I'm usually pretty hard on Hamden, and I'm still not a Hamden fan. But tonight, I want to hammer U-T fans.

Excuse my language. All right, well, we can't say that. So they can say it on the stadium, but we can't say it on the radio. So just so you know, but go ahead. No, I'm dropping that guy. Sorry. You dropping the whole thing? Yeah.

You dropped him? Yeah, I did. You can't say that. Yeah, but he probably thought you could because they said it in the thing. No, no, you can't, you can't say that. All right. Well, that was, Jordan, just so you know, that was a Billy decision. I mean.

That was the final decision. We'll move on. Wow, that's, Billy, it's 101. That's a harsh decision. I think he probably thought he could say it. Yeah, there's like seven words you can't say on the radio. You say one, you get knocked off. Do you always say there's seven?

Is it really seven? I think that was an old like bit back in the day. How many are there? Do you have a list? I mean, there are words that are not on the seven that you can't say. But see, I've never known what they were. I mean, I can guess, but I don't think like, I think there's probably more than seven. Oh, there is.

Yeah. There is. But there is an old bit of seven dirty words in the English language. you couldn't say. So you're saying that's one of them you can't say? That's definitely one, yeah. Okay. Well, I think I would like to have heard his point until you've been so angry to him, Billy.

But I would say that that was completely inappropriate. And again, like, that dude was hurt when they said that. All three of the guys that they booed at were hurt. Now, I know Childress came back in, but if you go back, like, you go back and those guys, those fans don't know Children's. but he's not a dude who would do that. And the other two guys were hurt. One of them didn't come back in.

So, you know, I don't know. It was mostly their students, like students or students, but Tennessee fans are a special kind of obnoxious. They just are. I mean, they just are. And I think they pride themselves in it. I don't think I'm saying something they disagree with. They like it.

They love being rude. and they played it out on the stage tonight. Who's next? Sean. Sean, what's up, Sean? Hey, Matt. I've had season tickets for 32 years, and then I was in college for five,

so I've watched UK football live for 37 years. And most of the time, you know what you've got. And a lot of times those were really bad teams and all. But this year, it's just, you know, we go totally. the toe with the top 10 teams and then the other ones. And it's just, you know, and earlier you were saying more, I think, on coaching is like, you know, where do we go from here? And it's like, it's not like when we were at the end of the Curry era, the Joker era or the,

those were not that, but, you know, we got a, we can produce a good product. We just, you know, it's just one of the more frustrating years out of all of those because, again, not knowing what you're going to get day to day with them from, you know, some really good stuff to some really bad stuff. And it's just been a, it's been just a hard to describe season. Well, you're right about it. I mean, think about this. What, we've played three teams in the top eight, okay? And we let it half time in every game. And then we've played three teams that have combined for like four SEC wins,

and we lost to all of them, two of them at home. Like, that's frustrating. It's frustrating. It's frustrating to go to half against Georgia, Old Miss, and Tennessee ahead, and then to go lose to Auburn, Florida, Vandy, and get blown out by South Carolina. You're right. I mean, that is an oddly different kind of frustrating because it's not like the teams you and I remember years ago where we were just never in it. Right.

And, you know, there's been a lot of times we've gone to Knoxville and, you know, the game was over in five minutes kind of a thing where, you know, that didn't happen tonight. They played hard. And, you know, for what they had, it was a, you know, they did, they showed up, which, you know, a lot of people didn't think they would. Well, they definitely showed up tonight. I mean, I do think they show. Like, that's partially why tonight doesn't, you know, I mean, I'm kind of getting destroyed online for saying I wasn't upset. Like, tonight is not the issue to me.

Like, I mean, they made mistakes. The Wimset Interception is a bad interception. That's a really bad interception. And then the offensive line play is what it is. But I actually think they're playing pretty well tonight. My problem is the rest of the year. Oh, yeah, absolutely. But one last thing.

But in two weeks, I don't drive an eight-hour round trip and go watch display Murray State. But watching so much UK football, the Tennessee fans are the most classless of every conference team. They are by far the bottom from as far as class from a fan base. Yeah, well, I appreciate it. I don't disagree with you from that. I mean, you don't look, they're great Tennessee fans, too. I mean, it's not all of them. It's just I think every fan base has got bad actors in it.

I just think theirs go worse than everybody else. That's the way I would put it. One person writes, Billy is getting big for his britches. Does he think he just gets to decide who drops the calls? Well, yes, because I drop the calls and run the show. Yeah. So literally. By definition, you get to do it. Yeah.

Okay. You think they're right, though, that you're getting a little big for your budget? Probably, yeah. Yeah, well, it's late at night. You know, I can tell you, you hit a salty point. It usually happens about 107 a.m. That's when I think that's what I think you get tired and you start to get salty. Most of the time. I've tried to be more optimistic and positive on these shows.

Well, good. Because we're going to have some, we don't have a lot of. nine o'clock games this year, though, in basketball. I think I saw only one conference game is nine o'clock. That's good. I think we play Oklahoma. Yeah, the Champions Classic is going to be really, really light. What's next?

Let's go to Lance. Lance, what's up, Lance? Yeah, Matt, I don't think it really would have made a difference tonight, but I can't be the only one who has noticed that air defensive line. They never seem ready for the snap when a team plays up-tempo ever. Yeah, they don't. It's mind boggling. I think part of it is.

So I think the reason teams do that against us is, A, it works. But B, also because our guys get, our big guys get really tight on the defensive line. We've got some really good defensive linemen, but I wouldn't say they're all in the best shape. And I wouldn't say they all, every play, give 100% energy. So I think when they get us on two or three snaps in a row, I think you're right. You'll see some. You'll see one or two of our defensive linemen just kind of stand there. And I think that's, I think that's, you know, clearly coaches have seen that on tape.

And so that's intentional. Absolutely. It seems like they never get down to the stance. When a team goes up tempo, they're just standing there waiting for the, just waiting around and nobody gets down a stance. And other than that, let's go Mark Pope. That's all I got to say. All right.

I appreciate it. 859-280-2287. You know, yeah, Deon Walker, I watch some of those plays. Billy, he gets like three or four guys on him. Now, he also takes plays off. Like, you can just see it. But he also, it's amazing how many dudes they put the other team puts on him to try to stop him. Yeah, do you think he's going to be successful at the next level?

I think he's cost himself. I think there are going to be real questions about his. effort level, which has probably cost him some spots in the draft. But I think if a team gets him in, I mean, he's a beast. Like, so he's a beast. And in the NFL, they won't, I mean, in the NFL, like, if he doesn't play, they'll just sit him, right? Right.

So, I mean, yeah. So my answer to that is, yes, I think he'll be good. I think it's going to be, I think when he is focused in playing, he's as dominant as anybody I've seen at Kentucky at that position. I think he takes a lot of plays off, and I think that's going to be, and I think it's going to cost him draft slot. But he's going to be a first-round pick

because there's just too much talent. I mean, they just don't make dudes like that, you know? I mean, I don't know if you remember. There's a couple of plays they put him on the end, and he got to the quarterback. He was playing on the end. A dude that size, and he got to the quarterback,

that's why he's going to get drafted, because you just don't see dudes who can do that. Let's do one more, and we'll take a break. Who's next? Nate. Nate, what's up, Nate? Yeah, man, I don't think one way would have made me happy other than a W. Like, if we lost by 7 or we lost by 50, I was completely over the season anyway, on the Pope.

But, you know, now we can start sort of taking about offseason. And there's two questions I want to ask you. One is, hey, next week, do you prepare cutter and see what you got for the next year? And then after that. I think they'll play Cutter some against Murray. Yeah, I mean, I don't think you're starting. but it depends on what Brock's health like too. Like if you're,

if you think Brock is hurt but could come back, then I think you play Wimsett and Cutter. If you think he's out for the year, obviously you have to play Wimzit and Cutter. If you think like he's 100%, then you play him, it just depends. But I would bet you they will play Cutter some against Murray. Murray's bad.

I mean, Murray's like really bad. Like Murray's like win one game and D2 bad. Yeah, I hope so because I have a feeling he's going to be the only cue on the roster going next year. And then the next question I would be just directly to you. I kind of thought about it a lot. Regardless of transfers, there's going to be a giant turnover next year. Half the offense, half the defense graduating. And that includes three of our starters off of an already poor offensive line.

Do you see Stoops having the energy to go and try to get $20 million? All right, so that's a great question. Yeah, that's a great question. All right, so here's, there's two completely different scenarios. If Mark Stoops is not the coach, then I have no idea who's going to, the roster's going to be, right? Like, just throwing up in the air. Who knows?

If he is the coach, I think Brock is back, probably, with Cutter. There's still a chance that might not be the case, but I think it probably is. I think Dane and Berion are probably gone. I think they go with young receivers, try to find one or because they got some good freshmen on there, one or two in the portal. I think you spend most of your NIL money on the offensive line. I think they basically go and try to get an all-new offensive line,

which may not work, but that's what they're going to. They don't have a choice. They just don't have a choice. On defense, they've got a lot of young guys that can play. You're right. They're going to lose a lot of dudes. But think about it like this. Is the caller still there?

No, he hung up. Okay, so we had a bunch of older guys out tonight, and the defense still played pretty well. I think there's going to be some guys that, you know, it's going to be sad to see him go because they've been here a long time, like JJ. We haven't had Maxwell Harris most of the year, but we got young guys who can play at some of those positions.

But, I mean, they're going to have to spend their money on the big dudes up front on offensive defense. You're going to lose D.E. on Walker, you're going to lose Tripka and those guys. So you're going to have to replace your offensive line, your defensive line, and that's got to be what they have to do. And that's hard. And will Mark Stoops want to do it?

I don't know. That's part of why it's a rebuild coming this year anyway, and it's probably like a two-year plan to get good again, and does he want to do that? I don't know. You think Dane leaves? I mean, I don't know. I mean, well, would you stay? I mean, let's say you're dang key.

Let's be honest. I mean, he's from Lexington, so that's a different. And this, by the way, is with no inside knowledge. This is just me talking. But your dang key, you've had a great year. You're now the fifth all-time leading receiver in UK history, which was kind of an amazing stat to see tonight. You probably are not a top three-round draft pick,

but you probably have that talent. Are you coming back? Or are you going to go play for a team that can win a national championship? I mean, if I might get offered $800,000 somewhere, then yeah, maybe you have to leave. But let's just say that money's the same, because I bet the money would be the same. I bet whatever he would get somewhere else he could get here. Would you want to go play at Alabama or Georgia or something like that? I wouldn't want to be in this passing attack again.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's the problem. The problem to me is less NIL. It's that does this system showcase his ability? the way you would hope. Same with Barion. Like, does this system, and I don't know that you can say for sure that it does. So 859-28027.

We will take a break and we'll be right back. This is the local toy dealers, KSR post-game show. Welcome back. It is the local toy dealers, KSR post-game show. So people say the seven words that comes from George Carlin, Billy. And I think there's a lot more than seven. Oh, yeah. We had to expand that list. What do you think there's like 21?

Oddly specific number, but... Well, three times seven. Like, I bet there's a lot that you can't say. One person writes, I think Billy sounds arrogant tonight thinking he can just cut people off. Anything about that. Literally my job. Again, this is my job to make sure eye heart does not get fine. One person writes, Billy always seems to think he knows everything.

So tell him, ask him this, who is going to win the presidential election? Okay, Billy, there you go. If you know everything, who's going to win Tuesday? Tell everybody. Well, one, I clearly don't, as we've learned in UK sports trivia over the years. You did think Reggie Hansen integrated the UK basketball. And I also stay out of politics. But you can make a prediction.

You're not saying what you want to happen. You can just say what you think is going to happen. I think it's going to be a real close race. I mean, people are going to the polls, and they still have no idea who they're going to vote for. Oh, you think they go and don't know? Yeah, they just get, you know, racketeered by people in the booth next to me. You're going to do one of those Mike Francesa. They win some races.

They lose some races. They've been up. They've been down. One of those things. Kind of like that lady that was looking for some who to vote for on Amendment 2. I'm just going to look around and say, who should I vote for? Yeah, I don't know what's going to happen. I have a guess.

but I'll save it for Tuesday morning. We'll see. But you need to go vote, Billy. Don't not vote. Oh, I will. I will. It's my duty. That doesn't vote.

Who's next? Cam. Cam. Cam. Go ahead, Cam. What's up, guys? How are we doing tonight? What's going on?

You got it, man. I think Dion, this is super random. I think he's who we wanted Matt Elam to become. Am I right? Do you remember that name? No, I remember Matt Elam, but you're saying Dion is what we had hoped. That's probably what they hoped. But Dion's a freak athlete.

I mean, I know he's not. Like, his, I don't know that we'll ever see it. Like, that dude is a special athlete. And when you stand next to him, you really see it. He is, for sure. That was random. But I think the frustration with your tweet, Matt, is because you're right. It wasn't really more so this game.

The guys brought it. I don't think anybody brought it. I thought it was super. weird when the commentators were saying that they were feeling like lowness from the coaches this week. I think that's, you know, I think that says a lot, though, because I see it in Stoops. I'm pretty sure everybody sees it and hears it. But they didn't play like a team, though.

They didn't play like a team that had mailed it in or anything. I mean, you know, the announcers were acting like he thought the staff had done that, but they didn't play like that. I mean, I thought they played. I thought they played hard. I thought, you know, they didn't play perfect or even great at times, but I thought they played hard. No, but like his half-time, like his expressions now all season have just been, no, he seems kind of emotionless. He has not been the fiery, the fiery person that, so a guy, a guy sent me a video of me interviewing,

Cal in 2012. And it was interesting to listen because Cal, his voice, he sounded like a different person in 2012 than he sounds like now. I think, so then I went back and listened to a Stoops interview in like 2016,

and he sounded different too. It was just like a different energy, and I agree with you, Stoops doesn't sound the same in terms of just, I'm not saying he doesn't have that fire, but he doesn't sound like it. Yeah, he doesn't look healthy, man. And what did you think about Hamden saying they waited too late to feed Wilcox?

I'm pretty sure everybody who's been watching the team this year could have called that. I didn't see that he said that in the postgame comments. He did. He said they weighed about two games too late to start feeding Wilcox. Well, I mean, that's his choice, though, isn't it? I mean, I... The man was averaging eight yards of carry from like the third game on. Well, I mean, I think he's right about that.

I appreciate the call, but, I mean, Bush is the one that decides, doesn't he? So, I mean, I'm glad he saw that, but maybe we should have seen it a couple games earlier. You know, I don't know. I felt like all year when I hear Mark talk, I guess I haven't really heard Bush talk a lot, but when I've heard Mark, it's always felt like to me he doesn't really know what he wants to do. like he doesn't have answers. And, you know, I feel like the thing about Mark is he's always honest. And if he thinks he doesn't have answers, Billy, I guess he doesn't.

You know what I mean? I mean, that's... Yeah, I'm probably extremely frustrated. Can't say what he really wants to say. I mean, we're all kind of frustrated. It'd be interesting to hear if they could hear what they really thought, what they would say. What's next? Mitch.

Mitch. How are you, Mitch? Yo, doing all right. I'll tell you, I was at the very first Stoops game in Nashville and got our asses kicked by old Bobby P. I was there, Kentucky. Yeah.

I just hope we hold it on the rope. Hope we, you don't want it to end full circle? Yeah, I mean, that's a hell of a question, isn't it? I hope that this team just continues to be tough. I mean, that's what this entire program's been built on and I know it sucks this year suck it's just sucks there's no good no way getting around it

but you know if you think back to that but i hope so in nashville you think back to that team you saw in nashville you know that team had like almost no talent right i mean i think the maybe was it was it was avery williamson on it like they had like one or two good he was i think like it was like every williamson and you know the quarterback was jaylin whitlow i mean like They really didn't have any talent. But they played really hard, and they lost those games. I think what's frustrating is if you were to look at the talent level of this team versus that team, it would be night and day. And yet we may finish this year with three wins.

Four and eight. Or four, you know, and they, I mean, we could finish it with three. And, you know, you know. or, well, actually, that's not true. We could finish it with four. It'd be four. You're right. Four. We can finish it with four.

Yeah, I hear you. And so twice as many wins, but ten times as much to Allen. Right. I mean, that's what that was really, is really frustrating to me as a fan. I don't really need you to win ten wins a year. Just be tough. Yeah. And don't get embarrassed.

Hold your own. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I mean, that's. I'm with you. I'm with that. And, you know, the schedule, like, This year, I appreciate the call.

I mean, if you had just done what you're supposed to do the year you could have had when you consider how well we've done against the good teams, it's just, I mean, Old Miss, there's a really good chance. The Old Miss will not make the playoff because we beat them. And that will be our only SEC win. Wow. Like, that's really frustrating. We are going to keep a team out of the playoff, and yet that's going to be our only conference with it.

We'll do one more, and we'll take the final break. Who's next? U.K. Greg. U.K. Greg. Go ahead. You think that's frustrating. I bet Old Miss is more frustrated than that. Yeah.

No, they would be the ones much more frustrated. That's right. So going back to Dane, man. I'm a huge Dane fan. I love number six. I do not want to see him. him leave and if he did leave I got a feeling it would be to Columbia

South Carolina and did you see what they did today so it's like please don't go there but that's not what I'm calling here's my thing is him I'm a big Brock fan I'm from Owensboro so I love Gavin

I want to tell Brock dude you don't have an O line you haven't had an O line all year he got blew up and I hope he's okay but at what point does he realize he don't have an O line that he needs to do something different because I see something different with Gavin. He's not getting blown up as much as Brock is. Yeah.

No, I think you're right. I think you're right. Now, the play that got Brock hurt, I'm not sure what else he could have done. I mean, like, that guy was in his face. I agree. Within a second. But in general, I agree with you. I think he holds on too long, holds on the ball too long.

I felt like there was a period in this game where he kind of was. scared to throw like he wouldn't just let it go and then he would end up getting sacked. But the thing is, the kid is tough, man. He'll run and get 10 or 12 yards on a scramble. But you're right. I mean, I sometimes wonder if Bush also calls plays for how bad our line is. I mean, we don't have time for a lot of this stuff to develop that we call. Yeah, great.

Totally agree. You're right. You're right. Gavin doesn't get blown up as much, which I hadn't really thought about that. But you're right. He doesn't. And Brock does. You know, the game changed with the hit that knocked him out.

Both knocked him out. We fumbled the ball. It was third and one. Took us out of, yeah, I mean, that was the game change right there. 859-28027. We will take a break. Come back, take your final calls. As usual, you guys still call.

It doesn't matter even after a bad loss in the middle of the night. Best fan base in sports. We'll be right back. It's the local toy dealers, KSR post game. Welcome back. Final segment is the local toy dealer's KSR post. game show. 859,

280, 2287. You know, I'm trying to put Billy on the spot. I just saw the betting odds have now gone to 50-50.

64-36 Trump on Thursday. Oh, 50-50. It's close. I always thought there was good money there on the Harris thing. Just 64-30.

This has been tied forever. Why was it 64-36? Now it's 50-50. So, who knows? But Billy will not take a stand, even though he will hang up on people who just quote the Tennessee crowd. It's my job.

All they do is just, all they do is just quote the Tennessee crowd and you go and hang up on them. And they, and you know, Rocky Topp's the worst, but they play that old slowed down female voice in the stadium. I don't know if you hear it through the TV. It's just the worst. Is it them singing Rocky Top? Yeah, it's the woman singing that. It's not a female voice though. It's not.

Are you talking about the old-timey version? Those are guys. There's a grainy version they play in the stadium. That's the Osborne bro. Every other down. Here, you pull up. Well, I don't want to pull. No, the, they're going to think the Osborne brothers are women, but they're not.

Find the Osborne version, and you tell me if you think that is a woman, because it's not. Those are guys. Okay. I'll do my research here. Okay. While we take a call or two. All right. 859-28022.

What's the big NFL game? I got to do an NFL show here in nine hours. So what are the games tomorrow? Well, Monday night's the big one in my world. Bucks cheese. Tampa Bay Bucks. Yeah. Yeah, but we don't really talk a lot about the Monday night.

What's the 425 game? Lines Packers. Okay. That's a good one. Yeah, looking at this. These are bad slight. Tomorrow's going to be a tough go of it for me. All right.

Maybe a little bit more prepared. Broncos Ravens. Okay. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking right now. That's something, isn't it? Who's up next? Colts Vikings. Colts Vikings.

All right. Yeah. Joe Flacco? Okay. Who's next? Hammer. Hammer. How are you hammer?

What's going on, Matt? What's going on, fellas? Hey, it's been a bad night. Yeah, it is. It's been a bad night, guys. But, Matt, it kills me because I love Mark Stoops. Yeah. And I love what he's done for this program.

But this offensive line. Like, it's brutal. Oh, my goodness. It's brutal. How do you revert back to what ruined your offensive line? Like, I think it's like a three-year, I think it's like a three-year process. Because if you go look at the guys that we've had success with on the offensive line, they've all been guys come up through the program, a lot of them been from Kentucky

or from the Ohio, Michigan area that Vince recruits, that's where we had had our success. And then I don't know. I mean, Freddie used to say he didn't think the coaches developed the young guys. But, you know, you look at what we have now. We've got a couple of those guys with Eli and Jagger. But then we brought these transfers in. I think you have to say the transfers really haven't worked. And then, you know, I mean, we talked about, well, what about the young guys,

but we're having to play a young guy. And he's really struggling right now. And so, I don't know. I agree. I agree. And, you know, hey, let them guys, let's get a couple years in the wake room. Let's make them arms go from them flabby arms, go to high school players, with some bolts. But you reverted back to the guy that killed our offensive line.

Let's just admit, that Slarman, God rest he's soul, that was our last win in Knoxville. Yeah. We have not been the same thing. We have not been the same thing. No, we haven't. We have not been. It's not been the same since he passed. I think that's fair to say.

and you know and that's what stoops built his resume on let's be tough up front offensive line defensive line let's be tough and offensive line has just not been there well think about this think about this stat this is an amazing stat to me hammer and i think it says a lot about the success we had and the problem we have now in my lifetime starting in 1978 until 2016 do you know how offensive linemen from 1978 to 2016 we had drafted in the first four rounds of the NFL draft. Do you know? I would say easily interlis.

We had four, all right? Four in 38 years. From 2016 until 2021, we had five. So we had five guys drafted in five years after having four in 38. and I can tell you we ain't going to have any drafted on the team right now. So I think that difference, I think that difference from having five guys in, I mean, we had five top four round draft picks in five years to go from that to what we have, I think is what you're seeing the difference is in our play.

Yeah, and I agree with that. And I just like, you know, get back to what got you here. It wasn't made you successful. Let's reinvest in that offensive line. Let's get tough again. Because, I mean, if we put Winsett in and then years that we had to run Lynn Bowden out there at a quarterback, I think we all agree. Winsett is a better quarterback than Lynn Bowden was.

But it's the same running talent. But when you've got a better offensive line in front of that. Yeah, but yeah, you're right. Lynn had a much better offensive line, and he was faster, which helped too. I appreciate the call. All right, so did you find the recording? I did. Is this the one you're talking about?

It is. Yeah, it's them. All right, so play it real quick. Just not a, just a second of it. I mean, they beat us so we can play it. So you thought that was a woman? Yes. It's not.

Those are guys. And let me go further. They're from Leslie County, Kentucky. I knew that. I knew that. But you thought that was a woman. They slow it down in the stadium and it's just the vocals. Yeah.

And do you want to apologize to the family of the Osborne? brothers? No, no, I don't think I have to apologize. All right. Well. After they beat us. Jeff Drummond just wrote me and texted me and said he thought it was a woman too. Oh, see.

He knows the Osborne brothers, but he said the recording is slower and acapella in the stadium. Okay, good. Is that right? It is. Yeah, it's awful. You can't hear that on TV, I don't think. Let's do three more and we'll call it a night. Who's next?

Okay, Joe. Joe, go ahead, Joe. Hey, Matt, how you doing tonight? Good. What's up? Is there any talk around the program this year? If there was, I haven't heard it, that Bush and Stoops want Brock to be under center more often, but that he doesn't feel comfortable doing so because I listened to the National Radio Broadcast Night. They were talking a lot about it, honestly, in some weird ways at times.

First of all, that's my guy, Ian, coach, that did the game. What did they say? So at one point, and trust me, it was odd. They talked about it on and off over for like 15 minutes. But they essentially said they made it sound as if, without saying stoop's or bush flat out said, this isn't the quarterback we would ideally have. They made it sound as if those guys are frustrated

that they would like to run more rock, never been under center and doesn't like being under center. And then in the conversation, they made it sound less like it's just because he's never done it, but more because, and they were trying to try not to work blue or be crude. But essentially, they were kind of laughing and joking that it sounds like Brock doesn't want to put his hands up against his center's butt, and like, which is obviously a part of the job. Is that what they said? Really?

They were saying, like at one point that he said, and like there were two different parts of it that were funny. One, he almost made it sound like they were Stoops therapist. Because at one point, they joked that whichever coach you're talking to, I'm guessing it was Stoops, went on some long rambling thing about the hands under the butt. And I don't know how we can relay this story to you on the air without being crew. That's interesting.

Well, so I didn't hear it, obviously. Ian Fitzsimmons, who does the game, he is very close with the Stoops family. So my assumption would be that they talk to Stoops. I have gotten the sense. And again, this is, I'm not saying this is true. This is just the sense I've gotten. That maybe Stoops and Bush feel like Brock

is not the kind of quarterback that is best for what they're doing. Okay? That's just the sense I've gotten. I've gotten a sense that that's, people seem to sort of seem to think online that there's a divide between Bush and Stoops. I haven't gotten that sense. I've kind of gotten a sense that they just are like,

we have this personnel that was for this other coordinator, and that's not what I do. and that sounds kind of what you're saying that they were hinting at on the national broadcast. Yes, no, it was odd. And then the one guy. Oh, I may ask you and see if I can get some insight before Friday. So I appreciate the call. I don't know.

Maybe it is Billy. Maybe they're saying doesn't want to touch the butt. I don't know. I feel like you have to touch butt if you're going to do the quarterback job, right? Unless you're in shotgun the entire time. Yeah. I didn't think that would be the conversation tonight. But there you go.

You never know. What a ridiculous thing if that was the truth. Surprise Billy didn't drop it the way he's been acting the night. Who's next? No, but's allowed. I don't know if this is coach, but Ian's on the line. Ian, what's up, coach? No, not, not, not coach.

Okay, all right. Joe's got me really flustered with the up under center thing. Yeah, I'd be interested. I got my to ask Ian tomorrow what he's talking about, but go ahead. Okay. So I got a lot of things I want to say, but I'm going to narrow it down to two. And please, I know you're going to say something after the first one, but let me get my second one in because I believe they're both. If you go quick, I'll let you do both of them.

All right. Okay, here we go. So the first thing is, I'm the same age as you. And the reason that you and I both love Mark Stoops is that he brought a passion and a fire to this program that did not exist in our lifetime. He is that underdog who wants to punch people in the mouth, who are better than him, who are bigger than him, who are, you know, the programs that are supposed to be better than us, right? And he has always prided himself and made sure that we are ready for a game like this. And it doesn't matter what year it is. It doesn't matter if it's year one.

All right. So I got that one. What's your second one? Okay, so the second one is, the problem is, is that we still have things like whatever just came up halfway through the show that Billy verified that Stubb said or that Bush said that we should, we're two games late in Wilcox. And that the fact is, is that whenever something happens like a guy can't tie his shoes on right, Mark will shut it down. And even though it's the best thing for the program. And it's really frustrating, but Mark is the guy who will always punch up every single time. And that's why I love him so much.

There's nobody gave him any, there's nothing about tonight that anybody had any input, any, like, look forward to. And he came in and he punched him in the mouth for two and a half quarters and almost got it done. And that's enough for people like us who have never had anything. Listen, I think there is a huge divide, and I appreciate the call. It's fascinating to me, and it's worth a conversation at some point, and I'm sure we'll have it as we get to the end of the season. There is definitely a divide in the fan base by age in the same way that there was with Cal. It's odd, though, because the two sides almost take the exact opposite view.

With Cal, you could, the younger fans did not want him criticized. The older fans were very critical. Now it's almost flipped. The older fans give stoops a little more leeway. The younger fans say, get out of here. And it's all based on the expectations of what things were like when we were, you know, they always say, Billy, that everybody thinks music and Saturday Night Live was the best when they were in high school and college, right? Yeah.

Whatever it was when you were in high school and college, that's what the best was. So for me, 90s music and the Adam Sandler, Chris Farley era, that's the best. All right. Other people that are older than me will say Chevy Chase and you two, right? You would probably say, I don't know, what music was popular when you were in college? I mean, there was a lot. All right, you're really helping my conversation. But the point is the point, and I think the same thing is true with fandom.

Like we sort of develop our fandom based on how it was when we really got serious about it, which is like high school, middle school, et cetera. So I'm used to Kentucky football sucking and Kentucky basketball being great. And so my standard is what it is. With Stoops, for me, I end up giving him more leeway than a lot of younger fans because I remember when we played this game, it was the last game every year, and I just hope we'd stay within 40. That's true.

But he has reset the expectations for Kentucky football to now it's different. But to me, whatever your expectation level is, this season has stunk. I don't care if it's my old expectations or the younger fans' new expectations. This season has been a failure. So the question is, what do you do going from here? And we'll have to see. I think the Louisville game is going to be huge because Louisville's playing better now. They beat Clemson tonight.

If they pound us in that final game in our stadium, I don't know. We'll see, though. First, we've got to see if anybody will show up to Murray State and do it. Oh, boy. Let's do one more. Who's next? Michael, got to be quick. Michael, finish.

Why does that have to be quick? Because two a eight. You got to cut out? All right. All right. All right. All right. So I've been a soups fans.

he was at Florida State, and going forward, it's terrible. I mean, I'm a season ticket holder, but what are we going to do going forward? I don't know. I think we've got to see how it ends, because if it ends terribly, then I think we're going to have a different result. if it ends with a win against Louisville, then that's a different result. And if it ends in the middle where we play Louisville close but lose, then I don't know. I appreciate the call. The thing about the Cal era, it ended definitively.

When he walked off the court at Oakland, we kind of all knew this can't continue. I don't think it's like that with Stoops yet. But we're going to see out the next three weeks or like. And we're going to have to see what the offseason looks like. We're going to have to see what the roster turnover looks like. So there's a lot still to be determined. Billy, the clock is about to change. Billy says that when the clock changes, if we're still on the air, we all explode.

And I don't want that to happen. So we're going to let it go now. Everybody enjoy your evening. We'll be back at the bar all week. And then, of course, Kentucky and Wright State Monday. Remember the women play at five on Monday. The men play at seven. So both new coaches start their new areas on Monday.

Should be exciting. We lose to Tennessee. Unfortunately, I'm used to that. 2818. See you all later. This has been the local toy dealers, KSR, postgame show. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends.
