LeVar Arrington (0:00)

Hey, what's up guys? 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.

When you think about pizza in Louisville and the area you think about Bear Knows have a great selection. They my guy from England loved it last night. I love it every time we get to eat. I feel sorry for these people right here who came in just to eat and then all of a sudden saw these Kentucky F and had to turn away. You know I'm sorry we just got all the tables. What are you gonna do? You know it's one day they'll be open tomorrow you can come down. They have carry out. Yeah but you have a hard time finding the table right now. That's what happens when we come to town. Let's talk about what happens tomorrow at 5 o'clock there gonna be very few busier 5 o'clocks in the history of Kentucky sports. Kentucky plays Louisville 515. Kentucky's women play at 5 o'clock. Kentucky plays Pitt in women's foot volleyball to go the Final 4 or at 5 o'clock. All three games tomorrow are at the exact same time at the bar tomorrow. Just because of the logistics. We can't even have the women's game because we have to have. Because we have to put it on certain TVs. We can't do it and it's complicated. But we will have the men's game and the volleyball game at the same time. We've talked a lot about the men's game, but Kentucky's women are playing for only their second Final Four trip in the history of the school. Against Pitt tomorrow, they're playing the number one team in the country. Ryan Pitt almost lost yesterday to Oregon. Went to five sets, they nearly lost. We were nearly able to avoid playing the number one overall seed, but we get them tomorrow with a chance for the Final Four. You know, we didn't. Maybe don't talk about the volleyball team enough. Eight straight conference champions and now tonight they got a chance to play tomorrow for a chance to play to the Final Four. I mean, yeah, it's amazing. It's going to be tough. Like you said, you got number one pit on their home floor there. But they almost lost last night. They played five seed Oregon. Oregon was up two sets to one. Had a chance to beat them, didn't do it. I think even though they're number one, of all the top seeds, they played in the weakest conference. They might be the one that's the most vulnerable. So we might have a shot of taking. You gotta play somebody good when you get to this point. And I watched the entire match of Kentucky, Missouri yesterday and outside of the third set where it looked like Kentucky fell asleep for a minute, they were pretty dominant. So they're enjoying Pittsburgh so far. I don't know if anyone else watched it, but in the top right of the screen there was an entire section of UK fans had nice little turnout there. I hope that's the case again tomorrow. But I'm wondering if you're Mitch Barnhart, what do you do? Do you clone yourself as, you know, normally he tries to attend everything. Great. It probably go to the volleyball. I think you gotta go more significant. A little more significant. What a. What a predicament. And it's such an odd time. 5:00. So how about that sh. All three of them at once tomorrow you. When I go on to the post game show tomorrow night, you know, there's a chance they could be three and oh, I guess they could be Owen three, but they got a chance. They got a chance to have a, a big run there. Not going to be 03, but yeah, it's going to be kind of difficult to keep up with every. Everything that's going on. Shout out to Craig Skinner, man. I mean he loaded up that first part of the schedule, played a lot of tough teams and I think that now he's, he's reaping the reward right now for that. I do have to ask you, Shannon. I mean, every time this comes up, we got to go to you. I know you've read about the drones that are in New Jersey. So in the state of New Jersey, there are drones flying over people's. These towns all over New Jersey. The federal government has announced that. It's not federal government drones and it's also. And they're not worried about it from inside any sort of security standpoint. But they haven't said what it is, which I, if I were the government, just say it so that people like us don't opine on it. Exactly. If the government just say it's aliens, we'll accept it as being aliens and then we'll know what it is. It's not aliens. Well, what do you think are the drones that are flying over New Jersey gets anything to do with our own country? I think that possibly it could be another country spying on us. You know, we had the spy balloon. I think you could see maybe something similar with that in the form of a drone, but you would acknowledge that it's not an alien. What's an alien that's piloting the drone? So you think there's actually. There's actually a foreign alien. There's a team with like a little remote control that's running the drones. They're looking at us. There's been some talk that maybe it might be. It might be weather stuff. There's some talk it might be a foreign country if you lived in these towns. Because there it's. It's only over a handful of towns in New Jersey. If you lived in these towns, would you be nervous about it, Drew? Yes, I'd be very nervous. There are aliens above my house, which there are right now. Remember who brought this up two days ago? I've been following this since they first appeared. We're getting so close to disclosure of aliens, man. It's right in front of us. It's right here. Well, would you rather it be a threat like a China, or would you rather be aliens who are just checking things out? I'm much more scared if there were aliens, which there are not. There could be. If there were aliens, I would be much more scared of them because they would be way advanced in technology. As I've said before, if they got here before we got even knew where they were, then I'm scared of them. But I don't believe that happened. So they're not there. And I would, I would, yes, I would rather it be China because we can fix that. If there's aliens that have traveled from other galaxies, we're done. So I. What if they're just here in peace though? Just to make sure we're good preserving Earth? They're just scouting us out, making sure we're not throwing nukes at each other so that Earth. So good. I don't think I. I don't. I think it's probably there's. As with everything, Ryan, I'm sure there's a benign explanation, but I do think if I lived in one of those towns. Cuz they're small towns that these things are flying over. If you lived in one of those towns, you would wonder about it, right? Of all the states in the country, why would anyone want to spend any amount of time in New Jersey? I mean, I don't know why they're scouting New Jersey. New Jersey is a nice place. There are parts of New Jersey that are nice. Yeah, most of it's a dump, but on the other side, you know, you could go to New York City and either. Now we shot down the Chinese weather balloon, right? I think so. Why can't we shoot down the drones? Well, I think. I don't know. They're the size of a car. But I would think the answer is if you shoot it down like in the middle of a city and it all the debris has to go somewhere and that would, you know, it might cause problems if all this debris just falls on the people. Sure. I mean an alien might land on your house, but that's the price you gotta pay to find out what it is and the force field around them. I think, I think if a big drone falls from the sky, you know, it's like people. You say if you throw a penny off the Empire State Building, I don't know what would happen. But they always tell you not to do it because something would happen. I would think the same thing would be if a drone fell from the sky. Now, did we have a situation? Was it in Mount Washington where there were drones over people's houses? That guy was shooting down. He was just a perv. Okay, well, can. Can you shoot it down? If it's over your house, can you shoot it down? Is that private property? Who's you ma? If I'm the homeowner in New Jersey, you're not gonna. You do you see how high these things up? You're not going to be able to shoot it with a gun. I'm sure there was a guy who got arrested for shooting at him in New Jersey. I understand, but you're not like, these things are way up there. Like, they, they're like people have, like, very strong telescopes to see them. They're not just like right over you. They're like way up in the, in the, in the air. I would be concerned if I lived there. I mean, you don't know what that thing's capable of. It could shoot. It could explode. Anything could happen. Shoot. You're worried it's going to shoot you. Little lasers coming down. You got to shoot it before it shoots you. I'm shooting it, first of all. No, you're not. Stop acting like you're out here on the Wild West. You don't even have a gun, so you're sitting here telling me how you're going to shoot. I've never seen you shoot anything. And you're like, I'm shooting it. You're not doing a thing. Don't act like you. You're going to see if. Here's what's going to happen. You're just going to sit there and you're going to go to bed and try to keep your dogs from yapping. You're not going to do a thing to it. Well, you're right. First of all, I ain't going to New Jersey. I don't know why you want to go to New Jersey. Even if it was at your house, you wouldn't do anything to it. My dogs would be out barking at it. That's. Well, that'll. That'll show them who's up next. Ted is up next. Ted, you're going to shoot it. You don't own a gun, Ted. Go ahead. Hey, guys. Laser. I'm going to laser it. Hey, guys. How are y'all? I'm doing good. So, quick question for you. We were fortunate enough to get some last minute tickets to the Kentucky game Saturday. I love people just coming here, seeing this crowd and get the heck out. I'm sorry. I know you did this beer knows folks for business. I'm sorry, we're just running. Y'all gonna have to buy pizza because you have run all these people out of here. Can y'all be more welcoming? Go ahead. Sorry. We got last minute tickets to the Kentucky game. Initially we were going to be sitting lower level, mid court. They had, long story short, double sold the tickets to a former player. So they moved us to the floor on the end zone near the Louisville bench. Do you guys know what that view is like down there? And will we be able to see everything just fine from the corner like that? As long as nobody stands up. Why are you. I mean, I love you, but why are you asking me that? Like, I mean, of course you're, it's. It's a. Of course you're gonna see. You got, you got put seats on the floor and you're complaining about it. Well, I've never seen that UK U of L game on the floor and you're asking me if you're gonna be able to see. I think you're gonna be good. It's the whiskey thief home brag of the day. I'm not complaining, I promise you. It's just. I was just curious, but there's nowhere in Rupp arena that I know that you won't be able to see. Okay. Other question is, I saw something on, on Twitter or X the other day that stated there might be four SEC teams ranked number one in the, in the tournament. Is that even mathematically possible with the way the. Yeah. Schedules are gonna. It would work if, I mean if you had. And I appreciate the call. If Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn and Kentucky were to all only lose three or four conference games, which could happen. There's a world I could see you having four ones. Did I. Was State beat Iowa last night? They did. Okay. They're so nice now. But. But yes, there is a world, Drew, where that could happen. I think it's unlikely, but it's plausible. Yeah, it's extremely unlikely. But if those teams were to just kind of beat each other up and then go undefeated against the rest of the conference, outside of the top four, I think you'd still need some other top teams to lose in their conference. But we have, I mean we have the non conference schedule to do it. So like take Iowa State playing in the Big 12. They're not going to get as many good games. So if they lose four conference games, Shannon, our four conference game losses will look better than theirs. So there's a world where it could happen. I think it's unlikely, but it's possible. I mean, we've already got like half of the top 10 in the SEC right now in week six. So I think there's a very good possibility that it does happen. You have four number one seeds off. I think there's a very good possibility that you get four SEC teams that are one or two and then maybe like eight that are one through four seeds. There's a definitely a world where we could have like half the one through four seeds. I think, Ryan, that is distinctly plausible. Can you imagine just that that's the final four at the SEC tournament? I mean, you're going to hear us say this a lot. If you got a chance to go to the SEC tournament, you need to go. This could be one of the best SEC tournaments. This will be one of the most expensive SEC tournaments forever. I mean, if you have tickets, don't sell them or if you do wait and get a premium because I mean, think about just a few things to think about. First of all, probably the best, the highest ranked Tennessee's ever going the first time they've been number one. Right. So you got. Tennessee is going to be great. If you ask me, what are the five fan bases that travel the most for the SEC tournament? I'm going to tell you. Four of them are the four best teams in the sec and the fifth is probably Arkansas that has a chance to be rejuvenated because of Cal. Texas has never had an SEC tournament before. I got a feeling their fans are going to want to come just to be in Nashville for that event because they used to always have to go to Kansas City for their conference tournament. Austin's trying to be Nashville. Anyway, they got to go take notes. So you put all of that together. I think Drew, I think this will be a wild SEC tournament. Yeah, I'm really looking forward. As I said earlier, I'm just looking for the regular season as a whole. We're going to have few more losses than we want, but it's good to have the best basketball in our conference. We take a little pride in that in football. And I think now that having basketball, the SEC is just getting more and more dominant across the board. What's up next? Dennis is up next. Dennis. Go ahead, Dennis. Hey, how we doing? Good. What's going on? Oh, not much. A couple. Couple things on the portal and then comment on pet Kelsey here on the portal. I like what Kentucky is doing, going after some of these and I call them Mac talent players that started for two or three years but the only problem I have is that seemed like a lot of powerful power conference teams are doing this now. For example, the Bowling Green O lineman that's coming here, Jason, I can't pronounce his last name, but I think he's got some visits that's scheduled after Kentucky visit. So Kentucky's gonna Vince Marl's not to but you know they've always done a pretty good job of that. I mean they've always done a pretty good job of being able to out recruit the top schools. For some of these guys. We're not gonna get them all, but I do think we'll get. We'll get some. My question though is if you have to start of the 22 starters on offense and defense next year, there's a decent chance 8 to 10, maybe 9 to 11 of them are going to have to be portal people and that's a lot more than Mark's had to start in the past. And we'll just see how that works. What's your second thing? Really quick? I got to go to break. Okay. Buddy of mine, big from Kentucky, loves uk, has lived down in Charleston, South Carolina for last few years and he absolutely loves Pat Kelsey. Says he's a great coach. So. Well good for your friend but we're going to crush him tomorrow. I appreciate the call. Central Kentucky.

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.

We open at Louisville. Expected to be busy tomorrow. Hope to see you there and then you can watch the game there as well. If we win, I'm going to come do the post game show down there for the post game as well. So hopefully that happens. Although I will say every time this year that I've said I'm going to do the post game at the bar. If we win, we've lost. So hopefully that won't be true in basketball. It was true in football, but then again we lost almost every home game in football so there's nothing I could do about that. Anyway, couple quick things. The NCAA has said they're likely to expand the tournament to either 72 or 76. You hear the collective groans in here. Yeah, I mean I, you know, I, I get it, but it doesn't bother me a lot, Shannon, because you're basically what they're going to do is you're essentially talking about two more at large teams. They're going to bet if they go to 72 they'll do two more play in games and then they'll do two more at large teams. So basically you're expanding, in my mind, you're expanding it by 2. Really? Because if the small conference teams play each other, it doesn't, doesn't matter a lot. Do you, do you, what do you think of that? I don't love it, but it's two more games that no one's going to pay attention to anyway. So like at the end of the day, does it really matter that much? I guess not. Now if we keep going, if we go to like 96, that would be what I would want that. Yeah, like at some point you got to cut it off. I will say this though. They've added, I mean the argument for it is they've added 45 teams since they went to 64. Right. It was 64. They went to 64 in like 1985. There were 320 teams and now there's 365 teams. So I think that's the argument, Ryan, why they're good with it, you know, and they want to make money. That's really, that is the bottom line right there. When they expanded to 68, I was like. And turn my nose up a little bit. But I watch those games now, you know, so you're the one who watches them if they go to school. CBS sent me to those games for two years in Dayton. If you ever get a chance to go. They're awesome. I mean, they really are awesome. The whole. The whole city of Dayton comes. It's a great environment. I mean it really is. It's one. I would say the first four is a better environment in person, Drew, than the average first and second round games in terms of just being a cool atmosphere. I like just having them to bet on to try to get a little money for the first round really starts. I'm never going to cry about extra basketball. I am a little kind of no to this. Like you said, it's not a huge deal. But are they just going to keep doing it and then we're eventually going to get in the 90s? So I would. If it's put in front of me, I'd vote no. But I'm not that strongly against it. What do you think about. Actually wonder. Not that this matters, but what would like the field of 68 do. Do they have to change their name? They got all that branding. Go to field of 70. The SEC tournament, by the way. They're going to do 16 teams this year, but there's some talk that in starting next year they might leave two teams out and only do 14, which is what a couple of conferences do now. I think the ACC is leaving a couple teams out now. What. Would you not make it one year? I think. I think you're right. I think Louisville didn't make it. What do you think, Ryan? Would you do you. The reason being basically, you know, they don't want to punish that now. The team that finishes ninth is still going to have to play five games in five days. This would allow the teams in the top 10 to get by. Are you okay with that? We're going to find out. I think this year with those four games on Wednesday, I think there's going to be a lot of interest in those games. I mean, I think they may want to keep it just because they're going to expand the tournament for a full day of games on Wednesday. Yeah, I mean it's again adding two more games. But like let's. Let's just take this year. Let's look like right now the SEC has nine teams in the top 25. So if you're Mississippi State, you're ranked in the top 25. But you might still have to play on Wednesday in the SEC tournament even though you're ranked in the top 25. Do you think that should. We should try to avoid that. I get the argument, but just do better. I like the format as it is. Heck, some of my favorite games in Nashville are Georgia versus Missouri when we're the only seven people in the arena. So I like having all the teams there, even if they did have a stinky. Remember we went to that first night and it was packed because they let everybody in for free. Nashville's done the right thing. Yeah. If you. Again, if you go to the SEC tournament, they now on Wednesday nights, and I don't know if they'll do this Wednesday day, too. They just let everybody in for free. Yep. And so it is. It is. It is kind of a wild atmosphere. People get hammered and they are partying. And it is. It's fun. It's kind of fun. I remember walking in thinking, we're going to get a great seat for this game. We were up at the very top. Seats we could find. Couldn't get in. Who's up next? UK Greg is up next. UK Greg, how are you? Hey, doing good, man. Good to talk to you all. So tomorrow is really, really exciting with all the Kentucky sports going. Going on. You know, I'm fired up about the basketball game, but let me ask you a question. I'm finding a hard time finding the women's game on iheartradio now that WLAP is not carrying it. Is there an iheart station? Where's Billy? Billy would know the answers. What station is the women's game on? Radio 98. 5. So the men are 98. 1 and the women are 98. 5. Perfect. All right, thank y'all. Go catch. That's why. That's why we have Billy. That's right. Stands in the corner and it has all the answers. Corner and just answers the questions to make sure they're right. Who's next? Johnny Versace is up next. Johnny Versace. Nobody hates Louisville more than him. What's up, Johnny? Matt, you know I hate Louis. Is it okay if I go on a rant here? Sorry, Rick talked over you. What did you say? Is it okay if I go on a rant here? 40 seconds. Go ahead. Well, first of all, UofL is very inconsistent. They're the collegiate headquarters of Outside the Line. Adultery, extortion, vacated championships and coaching searches. Okay. That's a lot. A bird with teeth is a pagan sign of the apocalypse. Wow. Okay. And Kenny Payne won those games and Eric Wood sucks else down. Oh wow. There you go. They'll never for me live down the Kenny won those games. They talk so much trash about Kenny won those games. I appreciate the call, Johnny. That to me is the epitome of Louisville. Kenny won those games and he only ended up winning 10 overall in two years. We'll take a break and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back, Kentucky Sports Radio.

They have what ought to be one of their most exciting days of all time coming a week from Saturday. They host a playoff game. They host the Tennessee Volunteers. Who knows when the last time they played at Ohio State? Two massive programs, an easy drive apart, should be one of the biggest days in program history. But they couldn't sell out all their seats when they put the tickets on sale immediately. A season ticket holder leaked the password to a Tennessee message board and over 5,000 tickets have already been sold to Tennessee fans. The Ohio State president came out and said, hey, Buckeye Nation, please come buy tickets so that we don't end up with an orange invasion. Which of course is now making Tennessee fans only want to invade even more. You know, there's 90,000 people in that stadium, but you get 10,000 people in orange. That's going to be a pretty big group. Could next Saturday be an embarrassment for Buckeye Nation in a game that should otherwise be really exciting? It is an embarrassment. I couldn't believe when I saw that story that they had leaked out the passcode to Tennessee fans to let Tennessee fans buy tickets to the game in their home stadium. That's an embarrassment. I mean, Ohio State Buckeye fans are some of the most unrealistic fans in the world. Anyway. This is just taking it to another level. I saw one of the Ohio State commentators, Shannon, said that they think it might have been better for Ohio State to go on the road because they're worried. People are so mad at the coach for losing to Michigan that if they don't score in the first quarter, everybody will boo a road game at home. Who knew that Ohio State first of all had a rat? We Gotta find this rat that leaked out that passcode. But they should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. Especially if they let Tennessee invade their home stadium. And with it so close, you got to assume there's going to be a lot of Tennessee fans there. I mean, it's. That was already the best game, but now you kind of really want to see what happens, don't you? Yeah. And as much as I hate Tennessee to give him a little credit, they'll travel, they'll spend a little money. I think they'll have a good turnout. I saw one fan account put out a seating map where they're trying to checkerboard in Tennessee. I mean, obviously they can't do that, but that's what their mindset is, that they're at least making graphics to attempt it. Wow. If I'm Ryan Day and I don't win that game, I don't talk to anyone, I don't look anyone. I walk straight to my car, I drive out of Ohio and I never go back to move. Oh, he, he won't have to worry. They'll fire him. But I wouldn't even look at Ohio on a map after if I lost that game. Then the other big game I think on Friday night is Notre Dame in Indiana. So I was thinking Kentucky plays Saturday at 5 o'clock against Ohio State. And I got a bunch of friends coming to watch it. Like it's like kind of our Christmas party. And so I go, you know what? Pregame show won't be till 2:30. South Bend's not that far. I think it would be kind of cool to drive up. I might drive up Friday night and try to go to the Indiana Notre Dame game. And then I saw. Do you know what the get in price right now on the secondary ticket market is for Indiana, Notre Dame? It's gotta be hot. Cause they never play. I mean, they're in the same state. They're probably what, two, three hours apart. They never play as of last night to get into the game. Not even a good seat. $980. Wow. To sit in the cold. To sit in the freezing cold at the top row. What a privilege that is. But that's what happened when you, when you get two teams in the same state that never play each other, that it is a playoff game. It's a. Notre Dame is, you know, they have a national fan base. They're hosting a playoff game Friday night, prime time. I couldn't believe it though. That's an. I'm not doing that. That was a crazy amount of money. I didn't have a number in mind, but the moment the bracket came out, I looked at that. Knowing how close Indiana is, they probably wanted that game for a long time. I figured it would be insane. I'm married into a Notre Dame family. If we didn't have Kentucky Louisville, I would have considered it too. Not at that number, but that is going to be a crazy atmosphere up there for that game. It. It is. I mean, $980. I mean, you can get into. You can almost get into the Super bowl for $980. It's insane that it is that amount. Watch Indiana. Play a football to Indiana of all teams. No, hopefully that lady, sir, you're going to pay for your wife to get 980 for Notre Dame Indiana, so. Not a chance. Not a chance. Well, take her to the Louisville game. You can probably get a little cheaper. Who's up next? Jerry is up next. Jerry. Go ahead, Jerry. Hey, man. First off, I'll bet in the end that drone thing does mean it ends up being a bunch of really smart college kids having a lot of fun building AC aircraft. They, you know, you can build huge. That it's something. It's going to be something like that. Like all these worries. It's going to end up being nothing. Shannon, you wait and see. Okay, we'll see. Well, shot down or it's a bunch of college kids gets shot down. It's my college kids. College kids. But two things. There's nothing strategic in New Jersey. Who the heck wants to go to New Jersey? Amen number two. If it was a bunch of terrorists, they'd be sitting over those drones to blow up, not just fly around. The second thing I want to ask you about, I haven't heard anything on Vandergriff as far as transfer port. I mean, I've heard it. As I suspected, he had a sprained AC joint all year on his throwing shoulder is a significant injury, but I haven't heard anything about him transferred. I expect he'd be one of the first guys in the transfer portal after sideline to Louisville game. And I mean, I. So first of all, Vandergriff, for those of you that watch. I didn't know this show was still on when I was growing up. My grandmother watched this all the time. But for those of you that watch the 700 Club, they actually do an interview with Van de Griff. I think I appreciate the call, Jerry. The answer it was. I think it aired yesterday. So there's. There's a guy who is a Kentucky fan who works for the 700 Club and actually came and interviewed him. I have heard that he is likely not to play football anymore. I. That was this. Just what I heard. This may end up changing, but he was, I think seriously injured in that Tennessee game. And I also think maybe the concussion especially maybe made him reevaluate whether or not he wanted to keep doing it. So I've heard he wasn't going to play. He has not entered the portal, which only further makes me think that's likely. But he hasn't made that announcement, Drew. So I mean, I don't think it's official until he says that. I mean, he posted, he's out hunting and he's still got his milk ads. He's posted on social media. But I just. We're watching his accounts, waiting for some piece of news. Figure it could come at any minute. But we've been thinking that's the season and did. But it also might make me wonder. Some of these guys in IL deals forced them to go to a certain period. And part of me wonders I could be wrong about this, but I think because I think UK got some of their players to sign nil deals that forced them to play the bowl game. Obviously we didn't have a bowl game, but some of them may actually be like extended out through a period and his may be one of them and he has to get to that period before he makes announcement. That's just a guess, but that's. I think that's a. I was hesitant to say that, but when he posted his milk ad just the other day, it made me wonder if he has an obligation to finish out some social media and a few other things before he truly can. I think that Ryan is probably the most likely scenario. Yeah, I mean, he was beat up really bad this year. I mean, he. We got to give the guy some credit. He played through a lot of injuries and a lot of pain to try to do the best he could for our team. But I think, yeah, I think you're. I think he just ready to walk away from football. And for those of you that have ever had like a real concussion, like a serious concussion, it can freak you out. I mean, I mean, it can freak you out. And if you're already thinking, look, I don't know, Shannon, if I want to do this anyway. Yeah. If the last time you stepped on a field you got knocked out, you could see how somebody might. Might not want. If he's not going to the NFL in his mind, is the juice worth squeeze? You know, in that situation and maybe not. I think that's exactly right. Who's next? Po is up next. Po. Go ahead, Po. Hey, guys. How you doing? Good. Don't sound so excited. I am excited. I'm excited for Kentucky more. All right, well, let me hear your voice. Hang on just a second, Po. If you're excited, I want to hear you sound excited. So let's start that call over, but with the excitement of UK U of L tomorrow. Ready, Po? Go ahead. Yeah. Go, Cat. All right. Much better, Po. Much better. All right, go ahead. Good luck, Shannon. Tomorrow, bash that man's head in that cage and win. He's talking about wrestling. Oh, yeah. I don't think he was just talking about. In life. You're wrestling Page tomorrow. Yes, I am. I didn't know if he said he was going to bash my head into the cage or. Yes. I'll get them. I'll get them for you, Poe. No. I love you, man. I love you all. Yeah. And I'm glad you had a fun, adventurous, and especially safe trip out west. Thank you very much, sir. Go ahead. I want. I want to say, as jumbled up as the SEC may be this. This season, regular season, how much do you think that the tournament will mean? More as far as saving will go? I think it'll matter in the early rounds, but I appreciate the call. The NCAA has already said the champion doesn't matter the championship, but in the early rounds, they'll probably. There might be a game, Drew, on Wednesday where the winner gets in the tournament and the loser does it. That's a possibility, yeah. I mean, being so loaded, we don't. Obviously don't know the seating yet, but, I mean, if you had a UK versus a Bama or an Auburn or Tennessee, vice versa, on Saturday or something, that might. For a one seed, flip a seed line between the two teams. Yeah, Shannon, by the way, tonight we have OVW in Georgetown at country boy. Come on out. Shannon will be there. We got actually our best roster. Our full roster is here tomorrow. Tonight and tomorrow, and then Saturday night. For those of you in Louisville, Kentucky, Louisville ends historic. Davis Arena. It's the first night we've ever done. Every match is in a cage, including Shannon. The dude is wrestling in a cage, which I think is the funniest thing I've ever seen. And I'm thinking about doing the post game show there just to watch you get it beat up tomorrow at historic happen. You put me in a cage, I'm like an animal. I'm gonna just destroy Adam Revolver he's probably never. A lot of animals that go in cages though. And nothing. No, no, no, no, no. You wait till I'm like a possum in a cage. You ever seen a possum in a cage? No. Yeah. You don't want to mess with what happens with a possum. They'll tear you apart. Just like I'm gonna do to Adam Revolver tomorrow night. You're gonna be in the cage of all the animals, tiger. You seem like you're a possum. You could have chose any animal and you decided you're a possum. A play dead. And then when you think I'm dead, I get you. Are you going to like climb on the cage or do any. I might do a Jimmy superfluous snooker off the top of the cage. You would. You would pass out. You don't like heights. Might get a nosebleed up there. But yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun. All right, so Georgetown tonight at Country Boy. Tomorrow night, historic Davis. There are only a handful of tickets for historic Davis arena, so you need to go ahead and do that. Hey, the Kentucky Chamber. You know, housing, Ryan, still matters. It does. And it drives economic growth throughout the state. You can learn more at KY Chamber. Well, I'm glad. I'm glad you agreed.

Georgetown is going to be bigger than almost any city in the country here. Georgetown is exploding. They got it has built two new high schools. They're going to build a third high school.

CT mobile.com this is Doug Gottlieb from All Ball with Doug Gottlieb. 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.

Go to shadyrays.com One person writes, Matt, I have tickets to see Shannon get beat up at historic Davis Arena. He never wins. I want that to be clear. I watch OVW all the time. Shannon never wins a match at historic Davis Arena. Tell me you never watch OBW without telling me you never watch obw. I win all the time. Check the record books. I won my last match, as a matter of fact. So, yeah, I'm gonna. I don't know if that's true. I was just saying to them, if I can laugh about this, you all can laugh about it. I. I didn't. Recently, I went back and I saw part of the clips from Wrestlers and when I have the seizure incident. If you go. If you were to go back and watch, I know that's not easy for people to watch, but if you go back and watch, as I'm coming out of it, one of the things they do is they sort of, hey, do you know where you are? And they go. The person Jeff looks at me and goes, do you know where you are? And if you read the caption, it says garbled language. But I understand my garbled language, and I'm trying to say historic Davis arena, even in that state. Drew, I was trying to use the word historic in there. So, like, if you hear it, you won't be able to tell, but I could tell that that's what I was trying to say. All right, cats and cards tomorrow. Drew, what do you think is our best matchup against Louisville? Our best matchup is Kentucky versus Louisville. Just all of it. I don't know. I guess an individual matchup. I think Andrew Carr might have a big game. I do, too. He plays well. When the. When the lights are a little brighter, especially in the second half, I expect a big game from him. I'm really just feeling good overall, and I'll feel even better if I see Lamont Butler in warmups. But I just think Kentucky's a much better team right now in the first year of this new era. Yeah, I think they're a much better team, too. I love our bigs tomorrow night, to be honest. I think that, you know, most. Some of these teams have been able to dominate us with size. I think this is actually a game, Ryan, where we will dominate them with size because our bigs I think are a lot better than theirs. Yeah, Louisville is kind of perimeter oriented and so if we do have an advantage, I think it is with the bigs. And I was going to have Andrew Carr is my mvp. You guys already talked about him a little bit. But it could be a game where even like Brandon Garrison has a success because they don't have anybody to kind of match him down low as that. His athleticism. Well, we finally shoot well. I mean we shot 32% from three against Colgate and it was our best three point percentage in the last five games. I mean, there is a part of me kind of going, hey, we're going to start, need to make, we're going to start needing to make these threes. I mean, thankfully we had Brea to make five of them the other night, but we've, we still struggle with these threes. I think he's going to be key. Finally, last game, Kobe Brayer started to look like Kobe Brea from earlier in the season. He struggled for a stretch of games there. He's going to be the guy that has to get back on track. Both teams shoot close to 33 pointers a game. So we're going to talk about possibly 63 point shots going up tomorrow. It's going to be a lot. You think we shoot a lot? You think our offense is dependent on threes? Watch Louisville and the pro. And the difference is again, I say knock on wood, they don't actually shoot them very well. We haven't shot him very well recently. They really haven't shot him very well all year except for that Indiana game. But they want to do the same stuff we do. They take more than Kentucky at a worse percentage. Mark Pope's big thing is he wants to take 30 a game. They had 30 in the last game for the first time in a couple weeks. Louisville averages 32, but they're shooting like 27%. So if that continues, I think Kentucky's in a good spot. All right, let's do a three point in the last game though. Everybody not named Kobe Brayer went over 11 in the first half and Robinson missed his first six. So they saved themselves in the second half, but it was still ugly there for a while. Yeah, they were. Robinson was 2 for 11 for the game. All right, so let's do this, cats. Do we know the spread yet? I don't think it's what, ten and a half? Well, we guessed, I guess nine And a half. Drew guessed eleven and a half. So we got right in the middle. Ten and a half. Shannon, who's going to win? And tell me the MVP. All right. Obviously going to pick Kentucky. They went 81 7. We've been talking about Kobe Braya. I think he's going to be the guy who gets hot tomorrow. He's going to be my mvp. Kobe Brayer, what about you? You know, new. Two new teams, two new coaches. But there's one guy that knows all about this rivalry and it's Mark Pope. He played in this game for two years. He's the guy that understands what it's about. He knows the assignment. So Kentucky's going to win 91, 76. I'm going to take. I'm going to take Andrew Carr before you guys get him. All right, what about you? Feeling good about the cats? I'll say 88, 74. That's a cover. And we are going to see a record broken tomorrow with my mvp. Kirk Riese is going to put his L's down on the bench more than anyone has ever put their L's down. He might walk out doing the L's down in his street clothes. So I'm taking Kerr as a kind of spiritual leader over there on the sideline. I think in the last few years, in the last couple years, both programs kind of got away from what their fan bases were. Kenny didn't have the effort to be the coach there. Cal was in his own world. I think now you have two guys who embrace this rivalry. But I don't care about Louisville. I care about Mark Pope and I care about Kentucky. I think we're coming. I think it's gonna be a good game for a while. We'll probably get Louisville's best effort of the year. But we're not losing at home to Louisville with Mark Pope. Kentucky wins 87, 78. And I will say, if you're going to leave me, Jackson Robinson, he ends up scoring the most points most of the time. I will say this, there's going to be a moment where we're going to have a big play. Will be like a two or three point game. I want to see Rupp arena stand up and get loud and let's beat the heck out of the Louisville Cardinals tomorrow. Thank you all very much here at Beer Nose for coming out. We appreciate it. Our pregame show will be tomorrow at 2:30. Let's beat the Cards. This is Kentucky. Oh, man.
