LeVar Arrington
Hey, what's up guys? It's Levar Arrington here from up on Game. Wanted to talk to you about a serious issue. Hate. You know, something personal that I have experienced and witnessed and watched is how the hate in our country is getting so out of control. It's at an all time high and people are facing way too much hate. A lot of people don't think it's a problem, but I do. I can recall growing up being in high school. One of my high school teammates, good dude too, just happened to wear a shirt that was a derogatory shirt towards my racial group. It depicted Malcolm X moments after he was assassinated and it just made me feel really, really sad. It made me feel upset and so many other emotions. And it's really because we're supposed to be a team, but it's going to take all of us to stop that sort of hate. As I mentioned, we are a team in this country. So let's take a break from hate so our team can regroup and regain our momentum. We need to take a time out against hate. Visit standuptoallhate.org to help and join me in calling for a time out against hate by following at what's up with Hate or posting the blue square emoji. It's better over here now.

Welcome everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio Friday, December 13th. I'm Matt Jones here in New Albany, Indiana, Beer Nose Pizza, where we have a massive crowd. It is our annual UK Louisville KSR show and we're glad to be here. You give us a shout out Clark's Puppet Shop phone line, 859-280-2287. Avision Auto Glass Text Machine, 772-774-5254.

I mean, come on, we're in southern Indiana. We're in southern Indiana. We are, you know, 20 minutes from Louisville and still more people than they could get. We'll get at their next Louisville home basketball game here in a pizza place to come watch the show. 859-280-2287. Ryan it was December 20, 2011, when we were at a different beer nose. Now 14 years ago, when we did our first ever remote, we had only been on the air I think for a year at that point. We did our first ever remote. We were over there. I think we probably had at that point maybe 30 people there. Although now, like hundreds of people claim to have been there. But I Think there were about people there and we. I just saw the picture. I had on a purple dress shirt. You never see me wear a dress shirt unless I'm like going to a funeral anymore. And you had your back turned to the audience because you were so nervous. And now 14 years later, we've done this show every year. The Friday before the Louisville game. Very cool. And next year's our 15th year anniversary of the show and it'll be our 15th year of this.
- [05:42]
Ryan Lemond
It's crazy, man, because every time we come over here, the place is packed. There was a line outside to get in at 8:00 this morning. I met some people who were here that first show. Nick, one of the guys. A lot of people were here that first show. Have been here every year since. That's amazing.
- [05:55]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. Knowing this show and even just parking here, I got here an hour early just so I wouldn't have any complications because I know this gets so packed and people fall in here so early. This is when there's never a doubt that it's going to have a big crowd.
- [06:06]
Matt Jones
And look how much Ryan has grown. He's now fully facing all the people here this morning. He's revolved all the way around.
- [06:13]
Ryan Lemond
They do want to see my butt, though. A lot of the women do.
- [06:17]
Drew Franklin
What?
- [06:18]
LeVar Arrington
Okay, again, we just started and like, it's so unnecessary. You get grosser the older you are, which is really kind of sad. I mean, most people. You get grosser. I mean, I wish. I wish there was a crowd to see the repulsion of from people. As you say that. And nothing phases him, Drew. It's almost like he thinks people want it more.
- [06:41]
Drew Franklin
That's why we love him, though.
- [06:42]
LeVar Arrington
That's why he's Ryan. That's not the trait I living for, but. 859-280-2287. The text machine is 772-774-5254. Katz and Louisville play tomorrow. This is a game that over the years has provided a lot of high drama. Has not been drama the last few years as Louisville has been awful for four or five straight years. Better this year. Still not great. Every time. They've played a good team, at least in the, you know, in the United States they've played very poorly. However, when they went to the Bahamas, had a couple big wins. Beat Indiana. They stink. But beat a West Virginia team that beat Gonzaga before they lost to Oklahoma. This year they're 03 against the SEC. And every game has been an absolute route. They were blown out by Tennessee, blown out by Ole Miss ended up getting beat by a little margin against Oklahoma, although that game was closed through a lot. Tomorrow they play their fourth SEC team. Do you have any worry that the result won't be the same?
- [07:44]
Drew Franklin
It's all about Lamont Butler for me. If Lamont Butler's playing, I'm going to have the champagne on ice ready to pop it. I think Kentucky will win rather handily. I mean, I think maybe even a double digit win if Kentucky's healthy without Butler might get a little uncomfortable. I still think Kentucky's the better team. Louisville has their own injuries. That's holding them back a little bit. They have two guys out for the year. That's really setting them back. But if Butler's there, I just think Kentucky's much better. I think Rupp arena is going to be on fire. I expect a good Kentucky.
- [08:10]
LeVar Arrington
Yeah, you got 5:15 start, which I think if you're talking about the Rup crowd, that's about the perfect time. If it's not too late for the old heads, it's not really early for people like Mario to be asleep. So you get the 5:15, you get the 5:15 start. People get ready. You get a chance to celebrate after it's over. Games on espn. It's actually a good week to have the game. Ryan. I think people will actually notice it oftentimes that UK Louisville game is just completely lost because it's on a playoff Saturday or it's on bowl games or even sometimes gone up against the NFL or we've played it at noon on a Wednesday before, I think in the last few years. Now you get a Saturday. The only other thing on is Army Navy, so you get a chance to really. College basketball's got a lot of good games coming up. UConn plays Gonzaga Saturday. It's clear they're trying to make it a feature Saturday and a chance for Kentucky to get another win in front of a big crowd.
- [09:06]
Ryan Lemond
And I'm a drew. I think Rupp arena is going to be rocking tomorrow. I mean, you know, past couple years when Kenny was at Louisville, it just wasn't even much of a game at all. You know, the Louisville was so, so bad at least this year. Two new coaches, two completely different rosters meeting for the first time at rup and there may be a record for most three pointers shot by the end of the day from by the way.
- [09:25]
LeVar Arrington
Only one player that will play tomorrow. Think about this. For both teams, only one player's ever played in this game before, which is a crazy thing to think about. You add the two teams up, and there's only one guy that's ever played in the game before. So it is a completely different thing. Shannon. I kind of wish I hated their coach. Yeah, And I think they kind of wish they hated our coach. And neither fan base does. They kind of like Mark Pope. I kind of like Pat Kelsey. It's weird to have a rivalry now where, like, both teams just can't find it in their hearts to hate the other people in charge on the other side.
- [10:02]
Matt Jones
Both teams were starting fresh. But don't worry, we will grow to hate Pat Kelsey. I guarantee you we will. Well, he does, I guess. But you know what? He's living the life. I mean, life can't be.
- [10:14]
LeVar Arrington
Well, life's not great. You know, you watch him play and again, this could. Sometimes in these games, it ends up close. We've beaten them a couple times where I think they were better. We've. They've beaten us once or twice when I thought we were better. But on paper, their team has not been great. If you don't. If you took away that Indiana game where they blew them out, it actually would be a little disappointed. They've nearly lost, nearly lost to utep. They get blown out when they play anybody that plays defense on them. But our defense been a little shaky here recently. Does that concern you at all? No.
- [10:48]
Drew Franklin
I watched their West Virginia game in the Bahamas. They won, but they actually trailed a lot. I wasn't that impressed at all. Then they turned it on at the end. But a lot of that was the prior guy that's out.
- [10:57]
LeVar Arrington
I mean, he was a big. He was a huge part of that.
- [10:58]
Drew Franklin
What I've seen, my biggest concern is their point guard, Chucky Hepburn. That dude is the real deal. He leads them in scoring. He leads them in assists. I think he's like, second in the country in steals. He's a little menace out there in the backcourt. Kind of got a little patino guard to him. He's a big problem. Outside of him, he's like a poor man's Russ Smith. Yeah. Outside of him, you have Edwards on the wing, who had a big night in the. In the win against UTEP a few nights ago. But their roster, just on paper, nothing really jumps off and scares me. Whereas I see guys for Kentucky, if they're shooting the ball well, I have high expectations.
- [11:29]
LeVar Arrington
If you haven't watched them, the Chucky Hepburn guys, the guy that. In the team photo that was such a ragged look of a photo earlier this year, he was the guy that looked Asleep. He's the dude. He's played awake. And he's actually been pretty good this year. And that's another thing. If you have Lamont Butler, you stick Butler on him, then they're going to struggle to score. But if we don't have him, I think we saw against. Against Colgate, we can struggle. Yeah.
- [11:55]
Matt Jones
I mean, Louisville turns the ball over quite a bit. That's where I think Kentucky has the advantage. Kentucky is much better at protecting the ball. But let's go back to that photo. You cannot, under any circumstance, lose to a team that looks like Louisville and that team ask you a question.
- [12:08]
LeVar Arrington
There are people, there are Louisville fans who have very much criticized us. And by us, I mean me. By consistently calling me every name in the world, saying that we did them wrong with that photo, that it was not the official team photo, and we made people feel like it was official team photo. I will say that's revisionist history.
- [12:30]
Matt Jones
Yeah.
- [12:30]
LeVar Arrington
All right. Their main beat reporter tweeted out, here's your Louisville team, 24, 25. And then between then and the official photo, we made fun of it. And all of a sudden, an hour or two later, they had on a different set of clothes.
- [12:49]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, he deleted that tweet, too.
- [12:50]
LeVar Arrington
He deleted the tweet. Blame me. Not sure how you gonna blame me, dude, when you put the tweet up. But then Louisville came back, ironed the uniforms. Changed the uniforms. Like you're not gonna tell me. Oh, he just caught it a couple more minutes before the official one. They changed everything.
- [13:10]
Matt Jones
You're telling me they take a practice photo with one guy wearing the wrong jersey?
- [13:13]
LeVar Arrington
I don't buy it.
- [13:14]
Matt Jones
I don't buy they didn't notice it till after Shannon.
- [13:18]
LeVar Arrington
The University of Louisville should send me a thank you note.
- [13:21]
Matt Jones
Absolutely.
- [13:21]
LeVar Arrington
That would have been their official photo.
- [13:23]
Matt Jones
They would have blown it up.
- [13:24]
LeVar Arrington
They would have blown it up. They would have put it all over the Yum center. And we made fun of it and actually got it to where in 50 years, their grandkids don't come by and go, granddad, why couldn't you have ironed your stupid uniform?
- [13:37]
Matt Jones
Why didn't you get a jersey like everybody else?
- [13:39]
LeVar Arrington
That's exactly right. Why are you asleep, Granddad? Like, all of those things? I think, Drew, they owe us a thank you for helping them out.
- [13:48]
Drew Franklin
They should. But to our point about how they're not the Louisville teams of old, like, that's kind of all we have. They're kind of boring otherwise. You know, we used to have all kinds of scandals Does Pat Kelsey have one FBI investigation? I don't think he does.
- [14:00]
LeVar Arrington
It's getting warning over there. He has a decent coach who's been in front of a federal judge for extortion.
- [14:04]
Drew Franklin
Not one you can eat off those ceilings over there. Now. Everything's just so different. So we have the team photo and a few other things, but I missed the. It was so easy to hate them when they were true villains. I mean, there was some real scumbags over there. And now, I mean, we have the team photo and Kelsey doing selfies, but it's just not the same.
- [14:19]
LeVar Arrington
Yeah, that's interesting you mentioned that, because every time I come to Beardos, it leads me to think about the rivalry, and it leads me just to think. I do feel like Louisville has left this era where they were the, like, you know, rogues of society. I mean, if you just. If you just take a step back and think about the. Since we did our first show here, what Louisville's done, right? We're talking strippers in the dorms, right? We're talking sex in Italian restaurants. We're. We're talking squirt to the ceiling. We're talking. We're talking FBI investigations. We're talking paying players in shoeboxes. We are talking extortion leading to federal jail time. That's only since we started doing these.
- [15:13]
Drew Franklin
Remote Coach wore a wire while talking to his mentor who was on staff.
- [15:17]
LeVar Arrington
Yes, a coach wore a wire. And by the way, that was just the stuff that made the headlines. The other things were even. Sometimes even crazier. We had a federal trial. We had all of that. And now you've got a guy who's like, I get to wear sweatsuits. I'm happy. It's just a different. It's just a different vibe with these games now.
- [15:37]
Ryan Lemond
Louisville made it too easy for us.
- [15:39]
LeVar Arrington
Us.
- [15:39]
Ryan Lemond
For a long time, you know, they just gave us. Gave Christmas presents every year with these stories. I think, you know, even, like, didn't, like, one of the dads of a recruit have a certain female in his hotel room. You know, there's so many things came along.
- [15:52]
LeVar Arrington
I don't know what you're doing. What was. What are you talking about? Is that just.
- [15:56]
Matt Jones
Was it reported?
- [15:59]
LeVar Arrington
I don't know what you're talking about. You said a dad had a female in the hotel room.
- [16:02]
Ryan Lemond
A dad of a recruit, I think. Yeah. They know.
- [16:06]
LeVar Arrington
Do they know?
- [16:07]
Matt Jones
Yep, they do. They must hang in the same circles as you.
- [16:11]
LeVar Arrington
I don't. I don't know what you're talking.
- [16:13]
Ryan Lemond
Listen, I'M a reporter at his heart or at its core. I'm a die hard reporter.
- [16:17]
LeVar Arrington
I don't.
- [16:18]
Ryan Lemond
I don't sniff these stories out.
- [16:19]
Drew Franklin
It's not even just sniffing.
- [16:21]
LeVar Arrington
I agree that. I don't know what you were sniffing.
- [16:23]
Drew Franklin
But it's not even just. They were doing all the dirty things. Pitino and Cal hated each other.
- [16:27]
LeVar Arrington
They made a great feud.
- [16:29]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [16:29]
Drew Franklin
And now you got Kelsey. When he first got the job, he even said at one of those events, he said, I apologize to Louisville fans, but it's impossible to hate Mark Pope. He's the nicest guy ever. And that's just so different than the two Italian guys. We had hated each other.
- [16:42]
LeVar Arrington
Cal and Rick hated each other with a passion that it is hard to. It is hard to go to kind of explain. I remember. I mean, I feel like I could tell this story now.
- [16:56]
Matt Jones
Sure. We're all friends.
- [16:57]
LeVar Arrington
It's been a decade. I think when we beat them. I think when we beat them the Jorts year, right, we beat them in Louisville, that was a big upset. I think we thought we were going to lose. That was like Jordan Jort's coming out part, if I remember correctly. He played. He played really well. I was that. I remember John Calipari called me on my drive home before the post game show and just got on the phone and goes, how do you like that? How do you like that? And he was like screaming, eat it, Rick. Eat it, Rick. And I remember thinking, all right, I do love this, right? Like this dude. This dude wants to win it so much. And I think Rick would want to win it so much. His teams would play very tight. I actually think he wanted to win this game too much. I think Chris Mack was the same way. Cal would say he didn't want to win it, but he wanted to win it. It's weird. No, this time it's weird. But I will say Louisville's players gave us yesterday, drew a quote that I think is very telling in this. Was what? Terrence Edwards. Is that the guy's name? Terrence Edwards?
- [18:08]
Drew Franklin
Better players, he said.
- [18:09]
LeVar Arrington
And there was a bigger context where he was talking about, you know, we're looking for this game, we're blah, blah, blah. But the last sentence he said was, some of us came here just to play Kentucky. I mean, that's. That, that, that says a lot right about like. I mean, I don't think any Kentucky players gonna say some of us came here to play Louisville.
- [18:29]
Matt Jones
Yeah, we came. I can't say.
- [18:30]
LeVar Arrington
I mean, you won eight games in the last two years. Nobody's going to say that. But Shannon, I do think that shows the way these two teams look at.
- [18:38]
Matt Jones
That'S a little brother mentality right there. We came here just so we could play you. We really don't care about all the other games. You're right. I mean, nobody comes to Kentucky going. We're just here to play Louisville. Nobody cares. They don't care.
- [18:49]
LeVar Arrington
I love that. It's the same thing. I don't know if you saw North Carolina is recruiting like was recruiting the number one player in America that signed at byu and they asked the kid, what did North Carolina say to you? And North Carolina said to him, if you come here, we'll do for you what Duke did for Zion. And the Carolina fans were like, we produced Michael Jordan. Why are you comparing what Duke did to Zion? I like that Louisville's recruiting pitch is, hey, if you come here, you can play against Kentucky. I think we'll beat them for any recruit we want over the next few years.

Doug Gottlieb
Is Doug Gottlieb from All Ball with Doug Gottlieb. Hey, I'm gonna talk to you about something that's really serious for a minute. Something personal. Right now in our country, hate feels like it's at an all time high and we're going backwards and the hate is winning. It's out of control. So many different people, so many different groups are facing too much hate and it's just enough. We need to stop and regroup, change the momentum as a team because that's what we are. Everyone in this country is on the same team. So let's act like it. And when a team can't get together, what do they do? They call a timeout. We need to take a timeout against hate. So let's think about what we say and do. And when we see hate and we see someone doing or saying those things we know are wrong or hateful, we need to call it out. Visit standuptolhate.org or join me in calling for the timeout against hate by following hatsupwithhate or posting the blue square emoji.

Welcome back.

LeVar Arrington
It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Let's go over a few things here. We're at Bearnose. I keep saying beer knows. That's just my accent. Bear knows 13 locations Louisville style pizza to Louisville and southern Indiana for over 45 years. Pizza, pasta, salads and sandwiches. I'll tell you a story. Where's the person from Bear Nose? I have it. I have an investor in town who's who's potentially hopefully Going to invest with our wrestling companies. British. He's only been to America once. He got here Wednesday night. I couldn't be with him. He said, I was in downtown Louisville. I'm not gonna do his accent, but I was looking for a place to eat. He said, I wandered into a bear nose. And I said, yeah, yeah, downtown in Louisville. He said, they give way too much pizza. It was really good, but you Americans give way too much pizza. But at least better to have too much than too little. That's exactly right. So thank you very much for hosting us all these years. Couple things I think are interesting. Number one, some of you who are wrestling fans may have seen the show Dark side of the Ring on Vice. It's basically documentaries about wrestling. Well, the producers are doing a documentary that will come out next year about Pitino and Calipari. Oh, really?
- [24:04]
Matt Jones
Wow. I didn't see that.
- [24:06]
LeVar Arrington
And I might have already been contacted for an interview. But Pitino and Calipari, they're going to sort of trace their rivalry going back to Providence and UMass, to Kentucky and Louisville. To Louisville and Memphis and then all their various careers. But if you've ever seen Dark side of the Ring, Shannon, they do an amazing job, and they do tend to focus on the dark side of the ring. So I'll be interested to see what they end up doing with Pitino and Caliper.
- [24:33]
Matt Jones
That is going to be. Must watch tv. You know, they always have, like, somebody to play the characters.
- [24:39]
LeVar Arrington
They do. Yeah.
- [24:40]
Matt Jones
Who would you have play Pitino and Calipari?
- [24:43]
LeVar Arrington
Oh, that's a great question. It depends on the. Their age over the years. Yeah. I mean, now you'd probably get De Niro and Pacino with their old age. I don't know who you would get in their prime. That would be. That would be interesting. But when I heard that Drew, I thought, I can't wait to watch that. And I look forward to the. To interview. I can't. I think I'll know what they're going to do when they come and talk to me. So the part I'm looking forward to.
- [25:05]
Drew Franklin
Is it said it's going to follow Cal's first season at Arkansas, and that could be very entertaining, depending how things go. I'm looking forward to see how Chen and Bruiser are breaking it down behind the scenes down there in Fayetteville.
- [25:15]
LeVar Arrington
I'm surprised he gave. Apparently Patino and Cal gave backstage access to him this year. I don't know why they do that. I've watched Dark side of the Ring. Yeah, they don't do like these are not rosy documentaries usually. So I'm surprised they're doing that.
- [25:29]
Matt Jones
Usually they don't really do the person they're documenting any favorites.
- [25:33]
LeVar Arrington
It's very rare. Yeah, I'd be surprised.
- [25:36]
Drew Franklin
Lexington we'll see win or lose in that game. They'll be there with.
- [25:39]
LeVar Arrington
They'll be there. Vice. Vice TV will be there. Second thing, Ryan, you're Mr. High School Sports. Have you heard about what. And again, I don't know this officially. These are just the rumors in the wind. Have you heard about what happened with say next.
- [25:52]
Ryan Lemond
Oh, no. What's the story?
- [25:53]
LeVar Arrington
So I guess saying for this is just without there that say next football. You know, when. When they. When they're trying to figure out who to invite to come play football for them in high school.
- [26:04]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [26:04]
LeVar Arrington
They scout like middle school kids. Yes. And I'm sure the coaches say this middle school kid does this, this middle school kid does that. I guess the email that. That Saint X sends out to kids in Mass. This is what I've heard to eighth graders. They accidentally attach the scouting report they have for all middle schoolers in Louisville. Is that correct? You were shaking your head. Somebody needs to confirm this for me. I just heard this this morning. But that maybe every 8th grade family got an email with what the Saintex coaches think about their children.
- [26:46]
Matt Jones
Well, you know, somebody's got some splainer to do there.
- [26:50]
LeVar Arrington
Now I'm wrong about this. Someone can confirm it to me, but it's. This is kind of what's floating around. That would be an interesting development, don't you think?
- [26:57]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. If I open up that email and I see my kid's name under, you know.
- [27:00]
LeVar Arrington
No chance.
- [27:01]
Ryan Lemond
No chance. Slow, not very strong.
- [27:04]
LeVar Arrington
Let him go to public school. Yeah.
- [27:06]
Matt Jones
At least you know what you need to work on if you try to find a silver lining to all of this.
- [27:10]
LeVar Arrington
The silver lining.
- [27:11]
Matt Jones
Maybe they didn't hear it. You know, Sa's truth never hurt anyone.
- [27:16]
LeVar Arrington
I think the kind of parents that send their kids to Saint X may not like to read that stuff about their. About their kids. So I want to. I want to see the email though. I want to read some of these scouting. I do too and see what they say. All right, who's up first?
- [27:29]
Ryan Lemond
Rick got John up first.
- [27:31]
LeVar Arrington
John. Go ahead, John. Yeah, I was calling to see. I saw Malachi Nelson enter the portal on out. Bush Hamden recruited him at usc. Usc. Is he pursuing him? If you know, I have not heard that. I would say this is the way I'm looking at all the portal stuff and I appreciate the call. Adam Luckett for KSR plus is kind of focusing on the portal for us. Every person that enters that Kentucky is contacting, he does a little write up on. So that's all on KSR plus if you want to follow that day to day. From what I have counted, I looked last night, Drew, I've counted at least and I'm sure there's some we don't know at least 17 players that Kentucky has made contact with so far. It looks to me like in general they are taking the view there's one or two exceptions to this, but they are taking the view of going and getting guys who have played rather than going and getting guys like I think they've done some the backup at a good team. They did that with Alabama and Georgia and we praised it. I thought that was a good idea. It looks like to me they're going to max schools or even lower level power five schools and going show me a guy who's produced at that level and then I want to bring them. Do you like that strategy?
- [28:46]
Drew Franklin
I like that they're changing up. It's hard for us to follow. I'm looking at it and I see alignment from Rice and alignment from Nevada and I'm like, I don't know the hell the difference between these guys. And it might be the case the UK doesn't know either. That's why I said yesterday, part of all this, building the portal. No matter what, there's going to be a little hoping and praying that they look good on the field because you won't truly know until next semi September how some of these guys are actually going to pan out at the next level.
- [29:07]
LeVar Arrington
I thought the idea of getting Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee's backup made sense, but I think what we learned is for most those guys, they didn't play for a reason. And so, you know, we've learned with the basketball team this year we've gotten a lot of dudes that none of y'all knew who they were last year and it's working out and they had played at a smaller level. Maybe that's what we need to do with football too.
- [29:28]
Drew Franklin
But they're hungry or doing that.
- [29:30]
LeVar Arrington
Yeah. And they've at least, at least seen that they can play the position. We'll take a break and be right back. We're here at Bear Noses New Albany ksr. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live at Bear Nose Pizza in New Albany. It's in Charlestown Crossing. Come on out and join us Cats and cards tomorrow at 5:15. I just found out from Drew that he's working. He had that our cowboy hats are in. So we decided we're gonna wear them tomorrow for the game. That'll show him that. That'll get them ready, right?
- [30:03]
Drew Franklin
I was just wearing mine around the house last night. I have a dinner with Abby tonight. Going a little date. I might even wear it on my date.
- [30:09]
LeVar Arrington
Oh wow.
- [30:11]
Matt Jones
How are the fans going to be able to see past you? They're not going to stand up to see over that cowboy hat.
- [30:16]
LeVar Arrington
Well, you know, sit down, take off the hat. The guy, the picture has become a big thing because if you watch the, if you, if you look at the picture the guy's given the side eye to. So the famous picture of the guy standing who cheered the guy giving side eyes. One of my best friends. And now the Internet is turned on my friend. Like people are making memes saying you're a villain, you're this. And he was just at the game and he texted me like it was like, well great. The Internet has turned on me. Who knew?
- [30:47]
Matt Jones
Well, to be fair, he is the only guy in that entire section who is stink eyeing the guy who's standing up.
- [30:53]
LeVar Arrington
The thing is you people don't know who he is. Like it's, that's part of what makes it hilarious to me. I feel bad for him but you know, can't be side eyeing people, not.
- [31:02]
Drew Franklin
Even like behind them where they'd be in his view. He's just glancing over there. But the Internet picked him as the Internet has decided.
- [31:08]
LeVar Arrington
My buddy is villain number one.
- [31:10]
Matt Jones
He always likes to joke on people. Now the jokes on him.
- [31:13]
LeVar Arrington
The joke is definitely on him. 859-280-2287 We've talked a little bit about how good the SEC is this year. We now actually have stats to back it up. Ken Palm has kept stats since 1998 of Strength of conference schedule streak for the non conference and since 1998, the SEC this year going into this week has the second best percentage of wins against power competition in the history of college basketball. The only conference that's ever had a better history was the acc. And you all will remember this year. It was when I was in law school when Duke with J. Williams and all those guys and Maryland had Dixon and Blake and Maryland won the title the next year and North Carolina had Brendan Haywood and they were number one in the country. And that was when Virginia started being good. That's the only year in history where a conference has had a better non conference winning percentage. And I'll note at that point the ACC only had 10 teams. We have 16. So we have a. We have a nearly similar win per se. And as a matter of fact since team conference has expanded to 14, we are way better than everybody every other conference it is the record of us against power competition is crazy. And Kim Palm in the article I read basically said there's a good chance that this will be the greatest college basketball conference in a year since the acc, the year that like Virginia with Ralph Sampson and all that, that it will be the best since then. Ryan, it's unbelievable how good the SEC is this year.
- [33:03]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, you're hearing a lot of these college basketball guys talk about how this may be the best conference ever. And the stat you brought yesterday where the bottom Tier, the last four or five teams were like what, 42.
- [33:13]
LeVar Arrington
42. The five teams that were projected to be 12th through 16th are 42 and 4.
- [33:19]
Ryan Lemond
That just tells you how strong the conference is. When your bottom tier, your bottom teams are some of our undefeated or have one loss, it's amazing.
- [33:25]
Matt Jones
You're not going to have too many upsets just because how well balanced the conference is. You know, I could see where maybe the team that wins the conference has four, possibly even five losses in the conference could be.
- [33:38]
LeVar Arrington
I but the great thing about this is I think it gives Mark Pope some leeway. I mean we are all going to and please remind me of this when I do it. We're all going to have to take a deep breath when we take losses in conference because we could be, like I said this earlier, we could be really good and go 11 and 7 in conference like we could be and that doesn't seem great, but I think this year you actually could be. Yeah.
- [34:03]
Drew Franklin
Even though there will be more losses on Kentucky's record, which obviously we don't like. I'm excited just for the watching these games, even games Kentucky's not a part of. It doesn't look like there's going to be a night where you've got an Ole Miss at home where you go in, well, we're going to win this one by 20 or a Vandy. Every single game you're going to have to bring your best stuff or you're going to get knocked off.
- [34:22]
LeVar Arrington
The SEC is projected to get 12 bids in the tournament right now, which would tie for the most of all time, the acc because I think a lot of our strength has then been the ACC going down. The ACC is only projected to get four, which will be the fewest of them since the 1980s. So I mean, I think a lot, Ryan, of what happened is a lot of that ACC basketball strength has ended up coming to the Deep South.
- [34:47]
Ryan Lemond
It's amazing when you look at the talent in the SEC this year. We even this summer we talked about we knew some teams were going to be good. There's more teams stronger this right now than I thought they were going to going into the season.
- [34:57]
LeVar Arrington
Yeah. And with North Carolina struggling Virginia. Virginia last night had 14 points at halftime against Bethune Cookman. So I don't think they're exactly going to be a powerhouse. The SEC has a chance to take advantage.
- [35:10]
Drew Franklin
North Carolina's a football school now. I watched the press conference yesterday. Can I pay them a compliment?
- [35:15]
LeVar Arrington
Yeah, go ahead.
- [35:16]
Drew Franklin
Chapel Bill is a great nickname. I saw them calling Chapel Bill now. I hate North Carolina. Don't love that hire for them.
- [35:23]
LeVar Arrington
Bill is a great name, he said. And then so Mike Lombardi, who's going to play is basically be his gm. He said we're going to do in the in college football what Caliperry did at Kentucky in college basketball, which is say you want to go to the pros, come play for the best professional coach. And Lombardi was a great professional gm. We will basically be the pros in college. Do you think Drew, that works in football the way it did work during the best years for Cal in basketball?
- [35:55]
Drew Franklin
It'll work enough that North Carolina gets a bump compared to what they are traditionally. I don't think he's going to take them into the big national picture that they're going to be this turn into something they haven't been like.
- [36:06]
LeVar Arrington
Ryan, if you had a. Let's say Josiah was on the level that he could pick the college he wants. Would Belichick being at North Carolina make that like more intriguing to you?
- [36:18]
Ryan Lemond
Maybe not for the kids, but for the parents. For me, absolutely. In that scenario, I'm thinking to myself, I got my kids got a chance to play for Bill Belichick. Absolutely. I wanted pursue that. Josiah may not have any idea his history, but the parents do.
- [36:32]
Matt Jones
He probably remembers him coaching for the.
- [36:35]
LeVar Arrington
It wasn't that long ago, but he is also. I mean they said they wanted to get rid of Mack Brown because they wanted to go younger and Matt Brown was 73 and Belichick 72. Well, they went like he went. It's not like Shannon, he went that much younger.
- [36:46]
Matt Jones
No, but I mean we're talking about a guy though who is just 10 wins away from being the all time winningest coach in NFL history. That's got to do well for.
- [36:54]
Ryan Lemond
Here's the question. Why wouldn't another NFL team hire him? But yet North Carolina did.
- [36:59]
Matt Jones
I'm surprised he took that job. Really. Like, you're. You're Bill Belichick. You could go pretty much anywhere. You take North Carolina.
- [37:05]
LeVar Arrington
So he took the job because he's like Rick Patino. Some people are addicted to work. Like, some people just will never be able to stop working. I think he's one of those guys. And then I don't think an NFL team wanted him. And that's a good question why they didn't. But if you want to coach, I mean, he can only sit with the Manning So long on ESPN2. At some point, he may have felt like he needed to do something else. Who's next? Whitey is up next. Whitey, how are you? Whitey? Hey, good morning, guys. How are you? I'm doing good.
- [37:37]
Ryan Lemond
Hey, I was just listening to your all podcast from yesterday and I'll just touch on it briefly. But you were discussing Rich Rod coming back to wvu.
- [37:46]
LeVar Arrington
Yes.
- [37:47]
Ryan Lemond
So I've just got a quick trivia question for you. Rich Rod's last game at wvu, they got beat by a terrible pit team. That loss cost them a trip to the BCS championship game against Ohio State. A lot of WVU fans think he threw that game so he could head to Michigan. The trivia question is who is the field goal kicker that missed two short field goals?
- [38:11]
LeVar Arrington
I mean, how would that. Wait a minute, hang on. First of all, before you answer, it's amazing to me that he asked that trivia question because who would know? Equally amazing is that it seems like you do know. Right?
- [38:26]
Ryan Lemond
You know him, too.
- [38:27]
LeVar Arrington
Who?
- [38:28]
Ryan Lemond
It was Pat McAfee.
- [38:29]
LeVar Arrington
No, Pat McAfee's a punter. Was.
- [38:31]
Ryan Lemond
It was. Who was it, sir? Bingo. It was McAfee.
- [38:35]
LeVar Arrington
Did the kicker get hurt?
- [38:36]
Ryan Lemond
I don't know, but it was him. He missed his. I think he was a punter and a kicker.
- [38:40]
LeVar Arrington
Huh? Well, there.
- [38:42]
Ryan Lemond
And there were a lot of death threats.
- [38:45]
LeVar Arrington
Well, there's. All right, well, I appreciate the call. That's not what I thought the question was going to be about on UK U of L Day, who was the kicker for Rich Rod when he lost to Pittsburgh in 2007? But you know what, Shannon? You never know what you're going to get to when you get to the phone.
- [39:00]
Matt Jones
That's right. Max Duffy's bff. Those two guys like two peas in a piece.
- [39:05]
LeVar Arrington
Really doesn't like that he'll just randomly throw out a McAfee slate at some point. Hey BBN, you wouldn't go to tickets with a big game and then not use them.

Doug Gottlieb
This is Doug Godley from All Ball with Doug Godley. Hey, I'm going to talk to you about something that's really serious for a minute. Something personal. Right now in our country, hate feels like it's at an all time high and we're going backwards and the hate is winning. It's out of control. So many different people, so many different groups are facing too much hate and it's just enough. We need to stop and regroup, change the momentum as a team because that's what we are. Everyone in this country is on the same team. So let's act like it. And when a team can't get together, what do they do? They call a timeout. We need to take a timeout against hate. So let's think about what we say and do. And when we see hate and we see someone doing or saying those things we know are wrong or hateful, we need to call it out. Visit standuptoallhate.org or join me in calling for the timeout against hate by following at what's upwithhate or posting the blue square emoji.

LeVar Arrington
Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here at Bearnose. Great crowd. I say this every time we do a show in Louisville, but it's true. I think the best crowds we get are in Louisville or the Louisville area. I think this is the best part of the fan base in terms of being energetic and angry. And it's going to be nice for Louisville to get back to the point in basketball where we start really wanting to kick their tail again. Somebody sent me a message that there's someone here who's a Kentucky fan that has an Indiana fan wife. Who is that? Three of you?
- [43:10]
Drew Franklin
Four of you, Same wife or four?
- [43:12]
LeVar Arrington
Who's got their wife, but who's got their wife here? Who's the person with the Indiana fan wife that's here? That's you? Is your name Jeff? Okay, so Jeff says your Indiana fan wife is here. Specifically, the text said don't call her out. So I did. And. But I did it because I want to thank you that you would come to the show with your Kentucky fan husband. I'm just going to say to you, I understand they're good in football. I get it now. But let's be honest. You want to cheer for us in basketball, don't you? Like, you guys stink and you're never going to be good again. Like, Indiana basketball is basically done forever. So you got the football. You can cheer for that. But I would hope you would come to this side for basketball, Ryan, because as we know, Indiana basketball is done in perpetuity.
- [44:03]
Ryan Lemond
You know, when they hired Mike Woodson. They started pounding their chest again. We're going to be good again. But yeah, they're still not there. They still got a long way to go.
- [44:11]
Matt Jones
Look at you trash talking the guys wife. She's catching strays. She's just trying to show up and do something nice for her husband.
- [44:15]
LeVar Arrington
No, I'm trying to like make her happier though, by saying that she should do it. Did you see The San Francisco 49ers had a player who quit during the middle of the game last.
- [44:26]
Matt Jones
I would have to. With that game. My God. Nobody could score a touchdown.
- [44:29]
LeVar Arrington
But apparently he. I read the backstory. His name was devonte Campbell. He had started all year because Drew, the main guy, was. Was hurt. They brought the main guy back. So he went to the bench and during the game, the guy had been hurt, had. Was getting tired because he was playing too much. So they said to the guy who'd been benched, will you start and will you go in? And he just said no. And he walked to the sidelines and said, if I'm not starting, I'm not.
- [44:58]
Drew Franklin
Playing, he won't be on the team. This afternoon I watched the interviews. His teammates were livid. They were calling him out. Shanahan, when asked if he's going to cut him, he was kind of like, it seems that dude made a mistake that he will regret because walk out on your team, it's. I mean, the prime time doesn't matter, but it's Thursday Night Football. The country's watching. You're paid a lot of money to go out there and you're just like, no, I'm not feeling it tonight. Whatever happens to him, he asked for it.
- [45:25]
LeVar Arrington
Why would he think that's a good idea?
- [45:26]
Matt Jones
If you're a bench player and you have the opportunity to go in and you don't want to go in, why are you even there?
- [45:31]
LeVar Arrington
Yeah, that's a good question. Why didn't he just tell him for the game, I'm done. I get it. And then it's. It does matter. That's on national tv because, like, I probably wouldn't be talking about another Ryan. There's only one game on. And so everybody ends up focusing on.
- [45:45]
Ryan Lemond
He's a professional man. I mean, you got to act like a professional. And now he's going to have a trouble with other teams. Would you pick that guy up?
- [45:51]
LeVar Arrington
No, you would not. You. You would not pick him in any situation.
- [45:55]
Drew Franklin
I thought it might be the case. He was just quick little Mincy. Gonna go grab a hot dog.
- [45:59]
LeVar Arrington
Be right back.
- [46:00]
Drew Franklin
But then he just never came back. I thought maybe we were starting new trend in football.
- [46:03]
LeVar Arrington
Are we going to start calling, going to get a hot dog during the game, get pulling him walked off in.
- [46:07]
Drew Franklin
His uniform, thought he might needed a twizzler, a little soda, I don't know. But then he never came back.
- [46:12]
LeVar Arrington
Basketball game tomorrow. Ryan, give me a player that needs to step up tomorrow for us to win in this rivalry game.
- [46:19]
Ryan Lemond
Well, I'm going to say Lamont Butler even though I don't know if he's even going to play or not.
- [46:22]
LeVar Arrington
So we can't say him in case he doesn't play.
- [46:24]
Ryan Lemond
So he him so falls on Jackson Robinson. I think we've seen an emergence of him starting with the Clemson game and then the Gonzaga game. Maybe he just plays better with the ball in his hands more but he's become the guy for sure.
- [46:35]
LeVar Arrington
I'm going to say Kobe Braya because I think he's going to need to. Even if Lamont Butler plays, he's going to need to play a lot. And his weakness for me Drew has been he's not the toughest dude. He seems like he backs away from physical contact. And the one thing about this Louisville team is they'll get up in you, they'll hit you. And we can't just get a nothing from him like we did for instance for a lot of the game at Gonzaga.
- [47:00]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, we saw Duke and Gonzaga, two games kind of this magnitude. Just the team overall came out a little weak, not much energy. Obviously they came back in both circumstances. But I'd like for Kentucky to come out, throw the first punch. The question was who should step up. Pat Kelsey, when he goes to shake Mark Pope's hand, I would encourage him to step up as tall as possible.
- [47:20]
LeVar Arrington
I'm really cheap shot.
- [47:21]
Drew Franklin
I'm really looking forward to them meeting at half court.
- [47:23]
LeVar Arrington
Cheap shot.
- [47:24]
Drew Franklin
It's Louisville. It's Louisville.
- [47:25]
LeVar Arrington
I mean it's easy for you and I tall people to make fun of little short people like Ryan, but we shouldn't do it. Like that's not, you know, I wanna.
- [47:32]
Drew Franklin
It'S not really a step up. But Williams and Garrison, I love their energy, I love what they, a lot of what they do. But don't try to do too much in this game and have a lot of turnover.
- [47:40]
LeVar Arrington
And again I said this on the, on the post game show Garrison when you get the ball down low, dribble.
- [47:47]
Matt Jones
As much as possible.
- [47:48]
LeVar Arrington
No. Oh, shoot. Take your hook and go into the basket. Draw a foul, stop shooting the fadeaways you're not Kareem, like, go into the basket and draw fouls. He fades away and leaves him short. That's probably happened six times in the last two games.
- [48:03]
Ryan Lemond
I wish those two guys would just dunk it. You got the ball down low. Just make a power move and just dunk it.
- [48:07]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I think it goes for the whole team, Carr included. Sometimes they just need to go up strong and they're over pump faking or trying to wrap around a guy. Just go straight up happens and let's.
- [48:16]
LeVar Arrington
Make some free throws. We're shooting like 68% or something on the air. Who's up next? Shane is up next. Shane. Go ahead, Shane.
- [48:24]
Ryan Lemond
Hey, fellas, how's it going?
- [48:26]
LeVar Arrington
What's up? Good. Doing good. Nice to talk to you, feller. It's been a while.
- [48:31]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, yeah, it's been a while. Hey, yeah, I'm just letting everybody know that they got an opportunity tomorrow to grab an Antoine Walker autograph along with the game tomorrow. I do believe.
- [48:42]
LeVar Arrington
I'm like, you got it. You got. Hang on. You gotta, like, expand on that. You can't just say, you got an opportunity to get an Antoine Walker autograph. You didn't tell him how to get it.
- [48:52]
Ryan Lemond
That's what I'm getting to. Tomorrow at the same time the game's going on, Civic center there, there's going to be a sports card and Pokemon show going on.
- [49:06]
LeVar Arrington
Pokemon or Poke man?
- [49:08]
Ryan Lemond
Pokemon. Yeah.
- [49:12]
LeVar Arrington
It's different kind of cards. That's the knockout.

Chubby goes, yeah, well, I mean, I don't.

I don't think very many people are going to skip the game to go get an autograph from Antoine Walker. Do they have it before or after the game?

Ryan Lemond
No, it's in the same building right there in this, in the Convention Center. And he'll be there from 11 to 1 tomorrow. Okay, jump in.

LeVar Arrington
All right. Are you getting paid for this, feller? Like, why. Why are you telling us that?
- [49:45]
Ryan Lemond
Well, I figured that you all talking about what kind of madhouse it's going to be there tomorrow. And that's just something that's going to add on to the chaos down there, is you're going to have a couple thousand extra people rolling around going, no.

That is good to know for the card show. I appreciate it, Shane. Nice to hear from you. By the way, everybody listening today, keep this on your radar. If Kentucky wins, I'm not going to say who, but if Kentucky wins, we will have one of the prominent basketball players at the bar for a signing Sunday afternoon. We're Only going to do it if we win. It's going to be kind of a few games this year where if a big game, if Kentucky wins, a player will come meet the fans on Sunday. So be watching my social media and I'll also bring it up on the post game show. But just for your scheduling purposes, it would be in the afternoon and the hope is pretty much the entire top six over the course of the year, assuming we win the games. You would be able to get all of their autographs if you. So keep those that for Sunday afternoon in mind. Shannon.

I'll bring my Pokemon card so they can autograph them for me. I think it's Pokey. I don't collect them, but I think it's Pokemon.

Ryan Lemond
Not according to Shane.

Not what? Not in Grayson. Grayson. It's in Grayson. It's Pokemon.

What do you think of an autographed Pokeman card from Antoine Walker would be worth? I mean that's gotta be a rare. I don't think he autographs too many of those.

LeVar Arrington
I think it'd be unique. You wrote in the back of a limo with Antoine Walker. Did you get him to sign a Pokeman card?

Drew Franklin
I did not. But I am a big Antoine Walker fan. I would go get one if I had time.

LeVar Arrington
Yeah. Well, that is tomorrow morning. It is good. There will be a lot of people downtown. I think there's also like a cheer competition going on downtown. So there's going to be just if you're going to that game tomorrow, just expect to get there early. And I would say if it's not too cold, park at the bar. Walk. That to me is it's because it will be a. It'll be a cluster downtown tomorrow. 859-280-2287. We are here at Beer Nose. We're going to talk about a couple more about the game and some football news. That's next right here on Kentucky Sports Radio.
