Doug Gottlieb
This is Doug Gottlieb from All Ball with Doug Gottlieb. Listen, I'm get serious for a minute and talk about something personal. The hate in our country is getting out of control. In fact, it's at an all time high and people are facing just too much hate. A lot of people don't think it's a problem, I can tell you. I've experienced it firsthand, you know, living outside of the country in Russia when my teammates found out I was Jewish and at the time, granted this is 25 years ago, I couldn't get into the country of Dubai. They just treated me differently. I knew what they were saying in Russian because I could speak it, but they didn't know I understood that they were talking behind my back. Look, there's lots of examples of it, but it's going to take all of us to stop this sort of hate because we're all on the same team in this country. So let's take a break from our hate so our team can regroup and regain our momentum. We need to take a timeout against hate. Visit Stand up to all hate.org to help and join me in calling for timeout against hate by following the at what's up with Hate? Or posting the blue square emoji. Stand up to allhate.org, that's the place to go if you want to help.

- [05:37]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I'm excited. I hit a Christmas reset my draftkings account. The last week has been absolutely brutal. I mean I am just giving them money left and right.
- [05:45]
T-Mobile Advertiser
That's good Christmas spirit.
- [05:47]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Yeah. I hammered us to beat Ohio State. I took all the underdogs in the first round of playoff games. So moving forward this bowl season, I'm ready to get right.
- [05:55]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yeah. By the way, just for those of you that are placing wagers on the bowl games, 14 bowl games so far, the favorites have won 13 of the 14. So, so maybe they know something that we don't.
- [06:08]
Mortgage Advertiser
So is the, the format next week where there's one game again on New Year's Eve and then three on New Year's Day?
- [06:12]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Right. One on New Year's Eve.
- [06:14]
Mortgage Advertiser
Okay.
- [06:14]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yeah. So New Year's Eve, remember, Kentucky plays on New Year's Eve. I think people forget Kentucky plays at 2:00 on New Year's Eve. Then there's a game that night. Then there'll be three games on New Year's Day, including one of them is the the Rose Bowl.
- [06:28]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Boise and Penn State's the the game after. Kentucky plays the Friday night games on New Year's Eve.
- [06:33]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yes. All right, so let's talk for a second about 2024. Like I was thinking about this last night. You know, there's everything all right over there. There's very few things going on on Christmas. So I was thinking about the next few weeks in the show and I was just trying to Go back to Christmas last year and how much has changed in UK athletics since last year. And let's just take, let's take the, the four major sports and think about how much different they are today than they were December 26th last year. We'll start with like, go start the minor one baseball. I think most people in baseball were like, are we gonna have to make get a new baseball coach? You know, there was a sense of like, well, program is really, I don't know, we'll see. And then all of a sudden they go through a year, they're in the College World Series. And we had a team that was ranked number one or two in the country a lot of the season.
- [07:34]
Mortgage Advertiser
That's true. Yeah. The baseball made the jump where we were thinking about. Minji Young was on the hot seat for the past couple years and Barnhart made to make a change. He secured his spot after what he did last year with that team. That was amazing.
- [07:45]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I know they made it to Omaha for the first time and lots of people went out there and had so much fun. But Kentucky proud park over here getting that run that it deserved. That stadium in those home. That home stretch to get to Omaha was so much fun and so electric. There were people in their little pull out chairs hours in advance. So just the path to Omaha. Lexington really deserved it. It was fun to finally have that moment.
- [08:08]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Then women's basketball, we were with a lame duck coach last year. Kentucky was one of the worst teams, was the worst team in the SEC, probably one of the worst Power 5 teams, period. And then now you end up taking a coach that's been a final four coach. He's come in, they've only lost one game this season. They. There, there's a woman. Jeff Goodman's daughter is a writer for women's college basketball. She said the Kentucky Louisville game atmosphere was the best home atmosphere in women's college basketball this year. He's done that in just a year. Massive change for the positive with, with that program.
- [08:50]
Mortgage Advertiser
You know, we, we don't talk about the women's program enough because it kind of gets overshadowed by what Mark Pope and the guys have done. But yeah, this new coach, new team, I mean he's got some superstars on.
- [09:01]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Kentucky's gonna be. I don't know how much people are paying attention, but Kentucky's gonna be one of the three or four best teams in the SEC this year in women's basketball. So they've got that. Now let's go to football. Go the opposite way. Last year at this time we are getting ready to get, getting ready to go to a bowl game. Right. We're talking about who we're going to get in the portal or not. We think Liam Cohen is staying. Right? You think you're getting another year of Liam Cohen and he's going to go pick his quarterback. There's a lot of excitement about everybody that's going to come back and the chance that Kentucky can be really, really good next year. Then fast forward a year later and it's like the intensity and excitement. Drew has gone the exact opposite way in football.
- [09:47]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Yeah. Last Christmas with the football fans, we were still, I guess a month after beating Louisville. We're riding high from there. You have that excitement, all the additional practices. You've got Clemson as your bowl opponent. You know, a nice attractive opponent in a bowl game there. The Cohen thing you mentioned and we all talk about, and I'm as guilty as anyone, best roster on paper. If it all just comes together, this ceiling. You never had so much depth, so much talent and we saw how that went. But in December of last year there was so much optimism and belief.
- [10:17]
T-Mobile Advertiser
There was a ton optimism. A lot of guys we needed to say they were going to return, were saying they were going to return. I mean it looked like you couldn't have asked for a better setup. And then the year goes the opposite. But then of course the biggest change is basketball. I mean it is crazy to think what has happened in a year in UK basketball. You go into this time last year, we're going into SEC play, right? Not the greatest non conference, but we all people are at this point starting to love Reed shepherd, starting to love Rob Dillingham. You know, Antonio Reeves has just had his game against Louisville where he had 30 some points and he looks like a potential all American. And then three months later, Cal's out. Mark Pope of all people is the hire. And we go from a program that like is about freshman one and dones getting people the draft to the oldest roster in the history of uk. I mean Ryan, it is insane to think about what a different basketball program it is today than it was one year ago.
- [11:23]
Mortgage Advertiser
One year ago.
- [11:23]
T-Mobile Advertiser
You're right.
- [11:24]
Mortgage Advertiser
Who would have thought that we'd be sitting here with Mark Pope as our head coach with a guy, a bunch of super senior six year seniors. I think they had just lost to UNC Wilmington. I think right before they had, they.
- [11:35]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Had lost to UNC Wilmington. They had just beaten Louisville. They beat Louisville like right before Christmas. But that was the last one.
- [11:42]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Well before Louisville right Before Louisville was the big win against Carolina in Atlanta. And that was awesome. I was down there. Close game where they went by like three points and then you go and beat Louisville, they'd kind of put that Wilmington game behind them. Having those two back to back back wins and then. And then Missouri and SEC play.
- [11:58]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Would you have ever imagined sitting here one year, December 26, 2023, would you have imagined the downfall of what would happen the next four months, three and a half months with, with Cal?
- [12:15]
Mortgage Advertiser
Especially not at that moment when we saw you, like you said, you were starting to see Reed and Rob and see them develop right in front of our eyes.
- [12:22]
T-Mobile Advertiser
But the fact that, I mean, even like that he's at Arkansas. No, I mean the fact that he would end up at Arkansas looking sad, wearing red, that we would lose in the tournament in the first round again to Oakland.
- [12:36]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I went into last season, I said on the show, I thought it would be cows last year on a positive note.
- [12:42]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yes.
- [12:42]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
You know, with DJ Wagner, Reed Shepherd, I kind of thought this is going to be the last ride. He's going to make a final four and it's going to be awesome. So beginning of the year, I did think it could be Cows last year. I did not think it would go the other way and it would be so bad that it would be his last year that he'd end up at Arkansas and that you could lose to.
- [12:59]
T-Mobile Advertiser
It's kind of interesting because if you were to go back before last season started, there were a lot of friends of his that would tell you this is going to be it. Right. Like he's got this last ride with DJ Wagner. He's got this class he loves. He thinks this team can win it all. He's going to ride off in the sunset. And I think what's odd is his struggles and the team being bad, I think made him want to come back more, whereas it made the fans want him to come back less. So it actually had the opposite effect on both groups. Maybe Ryan, of what we thought it would.
- [13:38]
Mortgage Advertiser
I. I think you're exactly right. You know, the last three, the previous two marches going into this March, you know, the early exits. Now after one more early exit, what do you think? 80% of our fan base was ready to make a change when he left?
- [13:53]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Yeah.
- [13:54]
Mortgage Advertiser
In April, after the Oakland loss.
- [13:57]
T-Mobile Advertiser
I mean, yeah, 80s probably. Right. The 20 that wanted him back were vocal, but I think, well, I mean, like, look at this group. How many of you all were ready for a change? Yeah, it was interesting. It was such an age Divide, though, there were young people, Mario was one of them who, like, couldn't foresee a Kentucky team without John Calipari. And I think that was what made it difficult for people to just fathom.
- [14:25]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Well, I think a lot of it wasn't confidence in Calipari. It was the fear and something else like, what if we just stink? I mean, we have a guy that's already done it. Maybe he has a little left. I don't think anyone's like, oh, Cal still got his fastball. I think it was just the fear of making a change after 15 years with a Hall of Fame coach.
- [14:41]
T-Mobile Advertiser
And I think you also had the roster last year. That was, at least for me, this is where I am. Last year was the roster where I was like, if he can't win it with these dudes, then you know what? We just got to move on. Right? Like, if he can't win it with a team that shoots as well as they did, that has two top 10 picks, that has a first team All American in Antonio Reeves, and if you still can't beat Oakland with that team, then why do we think this group coming in next year, which is significantly less talented, why do we think Ryan that's going to do any better?
- [15:13]
Mortgage Advertiser
I think that's where a lot of our fan base was. That exact scenario. You. You can't get to the weekend of the SEC tournament and you can beat in the first round of the NCAA tournament with one of your best teams you've had in the last five years. What more can we expect? A lot of the same. I think that's what was coming.
- [15:26]
T-Mobile Advertiser
I will go to my grave thinking that team last year should have been good.
- [15:30]
Mortgage Advertiser
Yeah, that.
- [15:31]
T-Mobile Advertiser
That team last year should have been good. You give me. I don't care who else is on the roster. You give me Reed Shepherd, Rob Dillingham and Antonio Reeves. You should be able to be really good with those three guards. In today's college basketball world, those three guys should be enough to get you to the Elite Eight.
- [15:54]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
That's why going into the year, I thought, this is his last. It's the perfect ending. He has Reed shepherd, the Kentucky boy.
- [15:59]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yes.
- [16:00]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I thought D.J. it's kind of like bookends on his career. Derwan Wagner was Cal's one and done. DJ could have been of his last class. You had Edwards at the time that didn't pan out. But in November, he was projected number one. Yeah, might have another number one pick. You saw Bradshaw. He could send this great class off to the NBA and it's his swan song. That's why I thought it'd be his last year. It ended up being his last year just for the complete opposite reasons.
- [16:22]
T-Mobile Advertiser
And remember two years from or two weeks from now, last year was that game against Georgia when a visage hit four threes in the first half. And if all of you are honest, we all thought we were winning the national championship after that half. I mean, we did. We thought, like now we got this kid, we got no chance to lose. And then he barely had a game. Like he had had a game like that since anywhere.
- [16:47]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Listen, Nate Oates thought Kentucky was winning the national championship after that Alabama game. Yeah, he said we helped Cal find his five. He looks terrified of what Kentucky.
- [16:56]
T-Mobile Advertiser
But what was interesting about that is Naido said after we beat, remember we beat a Final Four Alabama team by 30 and scored 120 points on them. And NATO said after the game I helped Cal just found his five. But here's what's interesting. Cal still wouldn't play.
- [17:17]
Mortgage Advertiser
Wouldn't play him.
- [17:18]
T-Mobile Advertiser
He still wouldn't play it. He had to play at that game because I think somebody turned their ankle or something.
- [17:23]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I think DJ still had lingering ankle issues and so.
- [17:25]
T-Mobile Advertiser
And Edwards, to be fair, was really hot in that game.
- [17:27]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
11 for 11.
- [17:28]
T-Mobile Advertiser
But at that moment you knew who the guys were and he just wouldn't do it. Right. He just would not play those guys.
- [17:37]
Mortgage Advertiser
It was obvious to everybody. And why he continued to refuse to play that lineup, the most efficient lineup in the country was still. That's malpractice.
- [17:45]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Do you think if we did. If we had to do it over again and they played those three guys, Edwards at the four and a big. Do you think that team or. Or those three guys in. In Wagner or whatever, if they had not insisted on making Justin Edwards the three. Oh, yes. And do you not think we would have been better?
- [18:07]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I think you can throw Chris Livingston in that same spot a few years before if they'd move him to the four and quit trying to make him a wing when he wasn't a wing. I think that hurt the back. I think it happened with Edwards and Livingston. We're folks on the three that could shoot. But early in the year, Trey Mitchell was carrying them. Something happened with him halfway through the season.
- [18:24]
T-Mobile Advertiser
But he should have been the center.
- [18:26]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
They had a great roster. Aaron Bradshaw, when he got healthy, I mean, he wasn't perfect, but he.
- [18:30]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Trey Mitchell that he should have been the center. And we were trying to play him at 4. He could have been like Andrew Carr is at the 5 and instead anyway, I don't mean to get go off on it and then and then Mark Pope ends up the coach here. It looks like a huge blessing. Do you think we'll feel that way in five years?
- [18:50]
Mortgage Advertiser
Yes, I think we the one unanswered question Mark could he recruit and we're seeing what he can do with the class coming in next year. He continues to do that. Answer your question? Yes.
- [19:00]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Everybody said can this guy recruit? Which is a fair concern. He's proven doing pretty well with that. He's about to get another one in January, hopefully. And he can't win a tournament game. Well, he hasn't had the opportunity to win a tournament game yet. Can't hold that against him. But I consider Duke in the Champions Classic and Gonzaga in Seattle is as close to winning a tournament game as he can do. So the two knocks against him, I think he's kind of silence those a little bit.
- [19:20]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yeah. Court PHYSICAL therapy if you need physical therapy, go to court New year new you right.

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here at the KS Bar and Grill, 85928020 excuse me 2287 day after Christmas Energy around the it's weird having Christmas midweek because like I don't think anyone in the city of Lexington is working today. Like no one. The streets were absolutely empty. I we're open, but it didn't look like very much was open. I think people just pull a billy here on the 26th and 27th and say, you know what, we're not going to work on these two days.
- [22:22]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I think people know if they bring their employees in for Thursday the 26th and Friday the 27th, probably not going to get a lot done in those two days anyway. So whatever, just stay home. Pull a billy.
- [22:32]
T-Mobile Advertiser

I found Bear. I know I was a couple seasons behind, but I found Bear this year. Watched all three well when the new episode came out series. So that's my pick.
- [22:56]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Why did you liked it?
- [22:57]
Mortgage Advertiser
I think it was. It's phenomenal. Now I will say this season three is very slow. The first two seasons are really good, but the third season that just came out, it's kind of slow. I need to pick it up for season four.
- [23:09]
T-Mobile Advertiser
The the ep. I didn't like season three, but there is one great episode, the flashback episode with Tina where she comes in and gets the job and meets his brother. That's a really great episode that was a good episode. Yeah. All right.
- [23:22]
Mortgage Advertiser
Also, I found righteous gemstones. You guys been recommending it for years. Found it and watched it this past year.
- [23:28]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Like I says, he found it. We've been recommending it to him for years.
- [23:31]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
You found it because.
- [23:32]
T-Mobile Advertiser
You found it because I've been telling you to watch it for years. All right, so the bear is yours. That's fair. What about you? What's your show of 2024?
- [23:38]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I feel like Apple TV had a good year. Bad Monkeys with Vince Vaughn. What else did I watch in there? Saw three or four on there. But I think my official pick is going to be. What was it called? Chimp Crazy. I've mentioned.
- [23:50]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yes, Chimp Crazy.
- [23:51]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Chimp Crazy on hbo.
- [23:52]
T-Mobile Advertiser
That's that. That show is insane.
- [23:55]

This week I started Landman. That's kind of the new Sheridan Yellowstone thing. But then Beast Games, which is like squid games, but on Amazon. That's pretty good.

I would say for me, the show, the show of the year, my favorite was probably Ripley. The. It was like talented Mr. Ripley.

You guys all would like this. You need to watch it. Say. I've said this before, but say nothing on Disney plus or Hulu. It's about Ireland, Northern Ireland. And it's so well done. It's a great book that they've made. I've watched half of the show. It's great. All you would like it to. Everybody will like.

Yeah, well, I know you recommend was the one. Caleb from accounting is one you read something like that.
- [25:08]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Colin, but that's different. That's not for everybody. This one would be for everybody. Everyone would like. Would like say nothing. It's a very thick Irish accent, though, so you might have to put it on subtitles.
- [25:20]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I'm gonna check that one out. There's one. People keep tagging us on Twitter. Kings of Tupelo. I saw the first episode.
- [25:25]
T-Mobile Advertiser
It's like a documentary, right?
- [25:27]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Yeah, it's another. That Tiger King, Jim Crazy. Just some people you wonder that you're surprised people like that in the world.
- [25:32]
T-Mobile Advertiser
It's about. It's about real people in Tupelo, Mississippi, which is supposed to have really crazy people.
- [25:37]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
An Elvis impersonator. And then his brother became a competing Elvis impersonator and took his wife. And there's a lot.
- [25:43]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Competing Elvis impersonating big enough for two.
- [25:46]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Of them and then their brothers. And there's. There's all kinds of stuff.
- [25:49]
T-Mobile Advertiser
I like that. This town ain't big enough for two Elvis impersonators.
- [25:53]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
So it's not an official endorsement from me, but.
- [25:55]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Okay.
- [25:56]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
What's that on Netflix?
- [25:57]
T-Mobile Advertiser
All right, I may check that out. Who's up next?
- [26:00]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Sarah is up next.
- [26:01]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Sarah, Go ahead, Sarah.
- [26:04]
I
Hi, Matt. I just wanted to call and kind of corroborate your Bob Huggins story with a personal experience. I used to attend bar at the Marriott in Cincinnati. And back in 2012, West Virginia was up there playing University of Cincinnati. And the night before the game, Bob Huggins and all of his staff athletic trainers, everybody came in and they were just pounding shots of Patron, just throwing them back. They almost went through a whole bottle of Patron. And they also didn't tip very well, so.
- [26:38]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Well, that's why you tell the story is if they didn't tip very well, you should. Yeah, I. I just got annoyed. And I appreciate the call by Huggins, the lawyer, acting like I hadn't seen him. He was like, there's no proof. He was at the bar the night before. And I was like, first of all, I'm sure there is, but my proof is my eyes. I saw them.
- [26:57]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I don't have his receipt on me. Yeah, produce what he ordered. But I was there, and he was.
- [27:02]
T-Mobile Advertiser
There, and he was there.
- [27:03]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Bob Huggins looks like.
- [27:04]
T-Mobile Advertiser
And then they, of course, lost. And I thought he kind of looked tired at the end of the game. He wasn't able to stop Kevin Knox when he went off.
- [27:11]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
And if Bob Huggins is trying to be a little incognito, I wouldn't wear the gigantic West Virginia pullover that he wears for every game.
- [27:18]
T-Mobile Advertiser
He wears. He wore that? Yes. He wears that everywhere. Must be his only outfit.
- [27:22]
Mortgage Advertiser
You know, thinking about that weekend. That game, though, is one of the best college basketball environments I've ever been in at West Virginia. It was awesome.
- [27:30]
T-Mobile Advertiser
By the way, the Herald Leader today reported what our schedule looks like for next year.
- [27:36]
Mortgage Advertiser
Basketball.
- [27:37]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yeah, so we talked about this the other day, but they had it official. So we play Louisville at the center we play in the Champions Classic against. Is it Kansas? Michigan State should be.
- [27:50]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Can we just did. What was it? It's New York Kansas.
- [27:53]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yeah, I think it's Kansas. We play Indiana at Rupert December 13th. So they announced it. So the first Kentucky Indiana game will be at Rupp Arena December 13th. We will play UCLA in the Champions Classic and then we will play December 2nd or 3rd a home game against an ACC team. So because of our schedule we don't get Duke or Carolina next year. So the thought is we will get either Duke or North Carolina at home next year. So that means you would have in your non conference schedule next year either Duke or Carolina at home against in Indiana. So you would get those two. That's pretty good.
- [28:41]
Mortgage Advertiser
It's great. Schedule is the Gonzaga series.
- [28:43]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Gonzaga series is on in Nashville and I think that the problem is they don't, they don't know when to do it. So like it'll either be very early in the year or it might be in between Christmas and New Year. But, but we will play. It'll be like our game this year. We'll get to play them in, in Nashville and we control the tickets. So it will basically be all Kentucky fans in Nashville. So really three home games. You basically get Gonzaga, Indiana and then either Duke or North Carolina all at home. So a good, a good schedule and.
- [29:15]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
It'S a Michigan State because we played Hunter Dickinson last year in the championship.
- [29:18]
T-Mobile Advertiser
So it's Michigan State. All right, so there you go. We'll take a break. Be right back. It's Kentucky Sports Radio Foreign here live at KS Bar and Grills. Text Machine 772-7745254. Remember if you're out here to pick the winners of the games for, for the, for the playoff coming up, sports. It's pretty, pretty bad set of sports here in the next couple days. Tonight's like the Seahawks and the Bears and then there's nothing tomorrow. But then Saturday you get full day of bowls, full day of, of all that. So that's good.
- [29:57]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
There's one random bowl tomorrow. Pitt plays somebody in the something bowl. But yeah, to your point, not, not a lot happening. I like you're wearing a Bear shirt and said nothing going on tonight.
- [30:06]
T-Mobile Advertiser
We're terrible. I mean we're absolutely terrible. The Bears are going to get destroyed. But the good thing is I wanted to lose every game, get a better draft pick. They can't. I saw they were thinking about Pete picking Pete Carroll as the coach. He's 73 years old. Let's not do that. Let's. Let's get somebody young, the sort of whipper, snapper and let's. Let's. I like Pete Carroll, but no.
- [30:29]
Mortgage Advertiser
And did you say the. They moved the Bengals game to Saturday.
- [30:32]
T-Mobile Advertiser
This Bingo's game got moved to Saturday. I'm actually going to go. Yeah.
- [30:36]
Mortgage Advertiser
Are you going to go?
- [30:36]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yeah, because I never get to go. I mean they never. I always have the NFL show, so I never get to go. I think I'm going to go Saturday. They play the Broncos. Big game for the Bengals.
- [30:44]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
So Saturday off for us in the middle of a basketball season. We don't usually have a Saturday without a game.
- [30:49]
T-Mobile Advertiser
DraftKings. They've got promotions all until New Year's but you bet 5 get 150. Use a code KSR. It's time for our draft Kings picks. Let's go through here. The bowls today. The game above Sports Bowl.
- [31:04]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
That's the one I was trying to.
- [31:04]
T-Mobile Advertiser
What is game above?
- [31:05]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I don't know. I was trying to pull that name out of my head. Didn't have it.
- [31:08]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Pitt versus Toledo next year. We open the season with Toledo and their running back next year will be a guy named Chip training who just. Who just left Kentucky and went to Toledo. By the way, little surprising a big school didn't want him. He ended up at Toledo.
- [31:24]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Drew, we were focused on oh, we might have to play Dane at Georgia. We got Barry on. Could be in the conference. No, it's Chip that's going to be first.
- [31:32]
T-Mobile Advertiser
We open it up with Chip. They're seven and five. They play pit. Who you got?
- [31:37]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I'll go pit. Pitt had a good run there for a while this season. Fell off at the end.
- [31:41]
Mortgage Advertiser
I thought Pitt was like top 25 ranked at one point.
- [31:43]
T-Mobile Advertiser
They were at one point lost a bunch of.
- [31:45]
Mortgage Advertiser
I'm going pit.
- [31:46]
T-Mobile Advertiser
All right. Pit. And then in the Rate Bowl. I don't know why. What that means rate R A T E Rutgers and Kansas State. What do you got? Rutgers good at basketball, by the way. Two top five freshmen if you haven't watched him play yet. Dylan Bailey and is it Ace Austin? Is that the name? Ace Bailey?
- [32:05]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Bailey.
- [32:05]
T-Mobile Advertiser
And who's Austin Harper? I should remember that since that's my middle name. Ace Bailey and Harper Austin are two top five picks. Those guys are great. Who you got in the football, though?
- [32:18]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I want to say Kansas State with Avery Johnson their quarter. I have no idea if he's playing but they're pretty good. I'll say Kansas State.
- [32:26]
Mortgage Advertiser
I have no idea. So I'll go Rutgers.
- [32:28]
T-Mobile Advertiser
I'll go Kansas State and then in the 68 Ventures Bowl. Shut your mouth, Ryan. Arkansas State in the 68 Ventures bowl against Bowling Green. This game's at 9:00 on ESPN. Any of you that are watching this, you should find a hop if you're watching Arkansas State. Bowling Green tonight. Who you got?
- [32:49]
Mortgage Advertiser
Just one more venture. It's all they needed was one more.
- [32:52]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Who you got?
- [32:53]
Mortgage Advertiser
Bowling Green.
- [32:54]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Bowling Green.
- [32:55]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Bowling Green lost alignment to Kentucky. They're just in shock shambles when you lose a player like that to the portal. So Arkansas State covers.
- [33:02]
T-Mobile Advertiser
I'll take Arkansas State. And it's Dylan Harper.
- [33:05]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Not Harper Harper Austin.
- [33:07]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Harper Austin. Dylan Harper, Harper Austin. They're very, very similar. Who's up next?
- [33:13]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Evan is up.
- [33:14]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Evan, go ahead, Evan.
- [33:17]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
First time, long time.
- [33:18]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Who are.
- [33:21]
Mortgage Advertiser
We're approaching conference play here and we.
- [33:25]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Look good so far.
- [33:26]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Besides against Ohio State, I was wondering.
- [33:29]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Who you all thought would be the most important player in conference play for Kentucky.
- [33:34]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Well, I mean, our most important player is definitely Lamont Butler. But our most important player going forward to me, Drew, is I still think for Kentucky to be really good, Jackson Robinson is going to have to take a leap. He's going to have to take a leap into that. Even if he doesn't get to Antonio Reeves level. He's, you know, think about Antonio Reeves. You knew no matter what he was going to give you 18 to 20 a game, right? No matter what, even if he didn't play well, you were going to get 18 to 20. We got to get Jackson Robinson to where we know no matter What, I'm getting 18 to 20 points from that kid. So that's why I think he's the most important guy going forward.
- [34:14]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Yeah, he still shies away at time. We need that second half Gonzaga. Jackson Robinson, that took over at point guard and made some big plays to win that game. To answer the question though, Lamont Butler, if, if he, if something happens to him, he goes away. Shut it down. I just think he is so important to this team.
- [34:30]
T-Mobile Advertiser
What happens if he were to get hurt? Would we. I mean, is he so important in the team that if they, if he got hurt, we'd have a hard time making the tournament?
- [34:41]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Oh, I mean, if it happened early enough in SEC play, I think so. Just with the, the physicality of the guards and the sec, we saw what happened when he was out a game or two. Especially with Kerr being out, just not having a true point guard at all in the roster there. I mean, he's, he's so important. Got to Keep him healthy and playing well.
- [34:58]
T-Mobile Advertiser
We have seen really for the first time in the last couple games this major drop off from the starters to the bench. I mean, that the, the top six are a lot better than the rest of our team. And I, I don't think we knew that at first, but I think it's certainly shown itself to be true here recently.
- [35:18]
Mortgage Advertiser
Like we said, I like about the whole Lamont Butler situation, but I did like when Jackson Robinson had to play the point. He did seem to thrive in that position.
- [35:26]
T-Mobile Advertiser
We did come back and beat Gonzaga without Butler or Kerr. I mean, we did in that second half. I mean, they were, they didn't have either one of those guys and they, they were able to do it.
- [35:36]
Mortgage Advertiser
I would like to see Jackson become more selfish, though, actually, even if he's not the point guard, just, I want him to be a little more selfish.
- [35:43]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I do see a little of what we were talking about with Amari Williams, where sometimes it's like you forget he's even out there when it's kind of like you want to nudge him. Your Jackson Robinson, go get bucket. I think he, he has spans of a game where he doesn't seem as all the way in.
- [35:55]
T-Mobile Advertiser
How does it make you feel that probably the two best teams in the country are Tennessee and Auburn?
- [36:01]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Gross.
- [36:03]
Mortgage Advertiser
Makes me feel like I need to take a bath.
- [36:06]
T-Mobile Advertiser
But I mean, they are, they are. I mean, I. Auburn's really. Personally, I think Auburn's the best team in the country by a decent amount. I think Tennessee is going to struggle scoring enough to win a title. But. But Drew, I, I think Auburn's good enough to win the whole thing.
- [36:23]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Yeah, and Auburn's not a surprise at all. Once Broom came back and all the pieces they have, we knew they'd be really good. What hurts with Tennessee is the Lanier is playing so well and he's a guy that was down to Kentucky and Tennessee. Not saying I'd kick anyone off this roster that we love to add him, but that's a guy Kentucky really went after and he's really panned out.
- [36:41]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Knoxville, he's been great. And that's. Now, if you go back to Dalton Connect last year, you could make an argument. Tennessee has gotten the best transfer in the country two years in a row. I mean, Chaz Lanier may so far this year be the best transfer in college basketball, and they got them last year with Connect and now this one. You know, it's annoying, but Tennessee, Rick Barnes, they've still never made a Final Four, though, ever. In History. But he has got them. He's got that program to where they're just kind of just turning it out.
- [37:14]
Mortgage Advertiser
Ziegler, their point guard is back for like the seventh year. He's solid. I also, I'm still in the boat that I don't think Alabama is that far behind Tennessee and Auburn. I think Alabama eventually is going to be a really good team.
- [37:27]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Boy, it's going to be a hard sec. I mean it's going to be. It's going to be a really hard. We've got to win that first game. I don't scare people, but I'm worried about to win that game against Florida. I mean they're good.
- [37:40]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Good.
- [37:41]
T-Mobile Advertiser
They're good and like that's the kind of home game that if we're going to be good, we have to beat a Florida. I don't. I think they're good. I don't think they're undefeated. Top 10 good. But we've still drew. We have to win that game.
- [37:56]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Yeah. They're scheduled until playing North Carolina recently who they were up by a million on. He got close to the end. They've been destroying teams with the opponents haven't been that good. So it's hard to really get a good gauge on them. But just the fact that they're undefeated and they're winning games by 20 something points. They're. They're bringing in a very good team in here and the SEC so hard. You got to win your home games.
- [38:15]
Mortgage Advertiser
You got a whole circle every night.
- [38:17]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
On the road, whoever it is.
- [38:18]

Welcome back. Final segment here Kentucky Sports Radio at the KS Bar & Grill, 859-280-2287. This segment sponsored by Don Franklin. Tomorrow we are at Don Franklin in Glasgow. So love to have all the folks there in the Glasgow area come and join us. That is what, two hour drive from here in the morning?
- [41:00]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Over two. But I'm so excited to give Brandon Stockton a hug and just confirm that he's still there.
- [41:05]
Mortgage Advertiser
Still alive.
- [41:06]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yes. Was he who they. Somebody called and killed him off, right?
- [41:11]
Mortgage Advertiser
Yeah, somebody called into the show.
- [41:12]
T-Mobile Advertiser
We shouldn't do that. He will be there. He'll be there tomorrow. Right. And we are at Don Franklin in, in Glasgow. I just heard they're bringing free pizza for everybody there and then they're giving away tickets to something here at rup like the Water Willie show or something like that.
- [41:31]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
No, Water Willie was coming through town.
- [41:34]
T-Mobile Advertiser
May not. Hang on. It may not be Water Willy. It's. It's like some kind of. Let's see Hot Wheels monster truck glow.
- [41:42]
Mortgage Advertiser
Nice.
- [41:43]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Gotcha.
- [41:43]
T-Mobile Advertiser
I don't know what Hot Wheels. What is Hot Wheels Monster Truck? Is that like monster trucks.
- [41:48]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Yeah, but they got the Hot Wheels brand.
- [41:49]
Mortgage Advertiser
Yeah.
- [41:50]
T-Mobile Advertiser
What makes it glow?
- [41:52]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
The lights that they put underneath the.
- [41:54]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Oh, that sounds like something I could wear my cowboy hat to.
- [41:57]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Oh, definitely.
- [41:58]
Mortgage Advertiser
You would fit right in with your cowboy hat.
- [41:59]
T-Mobile Advertiser
You know, I've been trying to figure out where was I gonna. Where was I gonna wear it? Maybe I go to the Hot Wheels monster truck. Cowboy glow.
- [42:06]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I was pretty disappointed that we can't do radio with the hat because the headsets. Or I might be wearing mine right now.
- [42:12]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yeah, you can't do headsets. You can't do it. That's true. Duke. Duke signed a quarterback for next year. It's a guy from Tulane. They're paying him $4 million a year in nil. They think that is the highest amount a football player has been paid so far. If I told you that there was going to be a quarterback to make $4 million, you might not have been shocked by that. But what if I told you there was a quarterback that was going to be paid $4 million and it was at Duke?
- [42:44]
Mortgage Advertiser
Not a chance. Not a chance. I'm thinking Georgia, Texas and SEC school for sure. Not Duke, where football is kind of secondary there.
- [42:53]
T-Mobile Advertiser
$4 million at Duke.
- [42:56]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I would. Did someone just wake up one day? The rich. Like, I kind of want football to be good now. I would have thought Duke would have kept most of its money toward basketball. And they went out.
- [43:04]
T-Mobile Advertiser
I mean, they took a quarterback that was nine and three this year, and Duke football was nine and three Good. And they basically told him, you can go somewhere else. We're going to take this guy. I mean, they looked at nine and three at Duke and we're like, yeah, we're going to try to do better than that. I mean, that's. It'd be interesting to see that feels like a lot of pressure on this dude. I mean, the guy they just kicked out went nine and three.
- [43:26]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
Yeah. Had great numbers. The Tulane quarterback, Mensa is his name. He's got decent numbers, but you've never really know how someone's going to translate to have someone in your locker room that's already done it. That's a big jump to go throw a bunch of money at a guy coming from the group of five.
- [43:40]
T-Mobile Advertiser
What about our quarterback, Cal Zada? Calzada. I'm going to want to call him Calzone. Calzada. You know, now you've had a couple days to digest it. How do you think he's going to do?
- [43:55]
Mortgage Advertiser
Of course I'm going to end up being really excited about the time the season starts, just like I was with Vandergrift last year. You know, he's put up some good numbers. He's got a good history. I'm hoping it translates on the field this year.
- [44:04]
T-Mobile Advertiser
So you're talking yourself into.
- [44:06]
Mortgage Advertiser
I'll eventually talk myself into it, yes.
- [44:08]
T-Mobile Advertiser
All right. What about you?
- [44:10]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I have not talked myself into it. I mean, it's a. It's a good addition. You got to go out and get someone. I just have huge concerns with the. All the things they're gonna have to do between now in the fall for all of it working out. I'm glad they got him. He's got good tape. I hang on to that win against number one Alabama when they had a great defense and he drove down the field. But getting me excited for next year's football season is a big task.
- [44:33]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Do you. I mean, I just have no idea how to evaluate this transfer class. You know, like, you could tell me they're good or not good, and I have no idea. Like, I don't know any of the players. They're all from schools that don't really know. It's just impossible. I mean, it's going to be so hard to have a feel on this team next year. No matter what happens. I don't care what people say during camp. How are we going to have any idea if this team is good until they play that first game?
- [45:06]
Mortgage Advertiser
We're not. Absolutely not. You know, when we had the transfer portal guys like Ray Davis or Dumas Johnson, we've seen those guys play. These guys coming in next year, we don't. We know really nothing about them.
- [45:16]
T-Mobile Advertiser
And we don't have a lot of dudes returning from last year's team. I mean, our offensive line is going to have five new starters now. I mean, that's probably good because the five we had this year were terrible. But, like, it's still five new starters, you know, I mean, that's going to be.
- [45:32]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
And you don't really know till it's September, whatever, and you're lined up against Toledo and it's like, oh, crap, he didn't work out. Well, that's too bad.
- [45:40]
Mortgage Advertiser
Too late.
- [45:41]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
You're in it.
- [45:42]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yeah, I think it's going to be. It's just. It's going to be so different this year. Go. And that Toledo game, remember, Go back to the schedule. Toledo, then Ole Miss. Yeah, in the exact. In the next game, that old Miss game, there's going to be so, like, such pressure on it because it's one of the few games that you can even look at Drew at home and say, well, maybe we could win that.
- [46:08]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I don't want to scare anyone with Toledo, but they went into Mississippi State last year, won by 30. Now, Mississippi State stunk, but that's a team that's not going to be afraid of an SEC school coming off, going on the road and winning big just this season. So even week one, I mean, you should beat Toledo, but that's not a pushover opponent.
- [46:25]
T-Mobile Advertiser
One person writes. Matt, after the Ohio State loss, I watched your all's video that had all the wins and losses of the year. After the Ohio State loss, do you have any changes on your SEC preview? I'm staying 12 and 6. I felt like I people thought I was conservative in doing that, but I think that's still about right. I don't think we are as bad as we looked against Ohio State, but I think we're going to have some bad losses. But I'm still going to go 12 and 6. What about you? You had us at 11 and 7, 11 and 7.

And I don't think it's indicative of Kentucky. I think it's indicative of how strong the SEC is this year. You know, when you're going on the road to places like Oklahoma, you may think you get a win. Oklahoma is really good, Florida is really good, Missouri's good, LSU is good. And that's the bottom tier of the conference. So I'm sticking with it.

I think I said six. I'll keep it there. But my confidence level has dipped a little bit. I read a lot of Ken Palm. He's not high on Kentucky this year and that system has its flaws, but he's dropped the prediction to 9 and 9 with his analytics.
- [47:27]
Mortgage Advertiser
Oh, wow.

So, I mean, think about if we went nine and nine. I mean, that's first of all very plausible. I mean, 9 and 9 is very plausible. And if you went 9 and 9, you would still make the tournament. We would still make the tournament at 9 and 9. We'd probably be like 7 seed, maybe at 9 and 9, something like that. How would you look at the year if we went nine and nine and we were a seven seat.

I still feel like I've, you know, just the fact they beat Duke, Gonzaga and Louisville is going to help me ease the pain. If we lose some games in the sec that maybe.

T-Mobile Advertiser
What if you, after you beat Duke, Gonzaga and Louisville, you lost twice to Tennessee, twice to Alabama and once to Auburn.
- [48:09]
Mortgage Advertiser
Oh, I thought you could say Arkansas. As long as we win that Arkansas.
- [48:11]
T-Mobile Advertiser
We got to win the. Listen, we're not even. None of us are even thinking the. An Arkansas loss into existence. That's not happening.

No. Like Ryan said it, one game shouldn't carry as much weight as it does. But beating Duke went a long way with me because if I'm being honest, if you told me in October before all this started that they beat Duke, Gonzaga, Louisville and went 9 and 9 in the conference, I'd go. I'll take it outside for that.

I think if you said before the year we're going to go 20 and 11 with those wins, people take it. But I think when you start and you're the number four ranked team in America and then you get there, I think there would be some people who would be disappointed with that. But look, I think we're going to go 12 and 6. I think we're going to play well, but I do hope people are prepared. We're going to take some smackdowns in conference play. We just are now. I think we'll give a couple to. Yeah, but we're going to take a couple. And you know, the Ohio State game kind of proved that to me, Ryan, that like we're going to throw a couple clunkers up.

As poor as this team is defensively in the spots, we're going to have to outscore teams. There's going to be other games where we have trouble scoring. Just be ready for it.
- [49:27]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yeah, I think. I think that's going to happen. With that said, I still, I mean, I don't know, but I'm excited to play in a conference where every game is going to be good. You know, I'm excited to play where every night, I mean, maybe our two easiest games are two of the first three. Right. Then, I mean, there's a superior, there's a stretch where they play six straight ranked teams.
- [49:47]
Mortgage Advertiser
Brutal.
- [49:48]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Six straight ranked teams in conference play. You never would have thought that would happen. At Kentucky in the sec.

Kentucky Sports Radio Host
I'm excited. Got lower the expectations a little bit. What the record looks like, not to sound like a paid Ken Palm guy, he has Kentucky losing the first three games in conference play. Florida at Georgia, at Mississippi State and his little predictions of scores.
- [50:06]
Mortgage Advertiser
Georgia, Mississippi State are two of the easiest games.
- [50:08]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Well, Mississippi State's good. Georgia should be one of the easier games.
- [50:12]
Kentucky Sports Radio Host
The analytics have all these sec, wow.
- [50:14]
T-Mobile Advertiser
Yeah. I mean, it's going to be quite a battle. Hey, thank you all very much for coming out. We appreciate it. Nice to see people from all over the state who come in. Nice to see my parents and my uncle over there. Thank you all. We will be in Glasgow tomorrow. Remember, Kentucky plays Brown at 2:00 on New Year's Eve. Our morning show that day will also be our pregame show for the game. Thank you all very much. We will see you later. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio.

This is Doug Gottlieb from All Ball with Doug Gottlieb. Listen, I'm gonna get serious for a minute. The hate in our country is getting out of control. In fact, it's sadly at an all time high. But it's gonna take all of us to stop it. I mean, we're all on the same team in this country. So let's take a break from our hate so our team can regroup. We need to take a timeout against hate. Visit stand uptoallhate.org to help and join me in calling for timeout against hate by following OTs upwithhate or posting the blue square emoji.
