Summary

Kentucky Sports Radio - Hour 2 Summary (February 12, 2025)

Hosts: Matt Jones and the KSR Crew

---

1. Critique of SEC Balance Statements ([02:21] - [03:17])

The hour begins with Matt Jones addressing recent comments by sports announcers, notably Carl Ravage, who claimed, “the SEC is so balanced in conference play this year. They're 82 and 82” ([02:21]). Matt expresses frustration over such oversimplified statistics, stating, “How stupid are people that they think that’s a stat?” ([02:36]). He emphasizes that every conference inherently has teams that win and lose against each other, rendering such balanced records unsurprising and not particularly noteworthy.

---

2. Exploring Maritime Idioms from "Wager" ([03:40] - [07:44])

Drawing inspiration from the book "Wager," Matt introduces a segment delving into idioms derived from 1700s ship culture. Engaging Ryan Lemond, they discuss the origins and meanings of several common phrases:

• "Toe the line" ([04:45] - [05:05]): Matt explains it as following directions strictly, derived from sailors having to stand with their toes on a marked line to receive orders.

  Matt Jones: "I have some of... 'toe the line.' It means following directions. Everyone would have to stand with their toes on the line to receive the direction." ([05:05])

• "Pipe down" ([05:40] - [05:57]): This phrase means to be quiet and originated from the loud ship pipes signaling bedtime.

  Matt Jones: "Every night they would play a loud pipe on the ship, which was the sign that all of you had to go to bed." ([05:43])

• "Piping hot" ([05:59] - [06:18]): Signifies food served hot, based on ship signals indicating meal availability.

  Matt Jones: "It was like a signal that your meal was here, piping hot." ([06:18])

• "Turn a blind eye" ([06:23] - [06:55]): Ignoring directives, attributed to a British general who held his telescope to his blind eye to sail into battle despite orders.

  Matt Jones: "He was actually intentionally holding his pel... his telescope to his blind eye." ([06:26])

• "Scuttlebutt" ([07:05] - [07:44]): Refers to gossip, originating from the area on a ship where water was fetched, akin to a communal water cooler.

  Matt Jones: "Scuttlebutt comes from ships and people getting around the scuttlebutt. It was like the water cooler…" ([07:11])

Ryan particularly enjoys the "scuttlebutt" explanation, noting, “My favorite one’s the scuttlebutt, because I have never heard that explained.” ([07:44]).

---

3. Listener Call: Season Ticket Grievances ([08:34] - [12:29])

A listener named Charlie voices his frustration with the University of Kentucky's (UK) handling of season ticket price increases and parking issues after 16 years of loyalty. He recounts a poor customer service experience where he was abruptly transferred to cancel his tickets without resolution.

Charlie: “Let me transfer you over to our team to cancel your tickets.” ([09:03])

Matt responds by clarifying the changes in the ticket pricing structure, explaining that despite fewer home games, prices remained the same, effectively increasing the cost per game.

Matt Jones: “You're paying the same price, but you're getting one less game.” ([11:00])

He acknowledges the significant impact on dedicated fans with multiple tickets and trailers, highlighting, “Fans feel like they're trying to pull one on them. You're giving us the same price, but you're getting one less game.” ([12:13]).

---

4. Donation Appeal for God's Pantry ([15:00] - [16:09])

Matt and co-host Drew Franklin encourage listeners to contribute to God’s Pantry food bank.

Matt Jones: “It’s the final week to donate to God's Pantry food bank and the KSR donation drive. Let's team up. Donate $41 to God's pantry.” ([15:10])

Drew adds a humorous twist by linking his donation to basketball stats.

Drew Franklin: “Godspantry.org KSR I'm gonna donate 51 today. That's how many threes Tennessee missed in the two games against Kentucky.” ([15:58])

---

5. UK Athletics Performance and Fan Relations ([13:00] - [22:53])

Matt highlights UK basketball’s impressive performance, noting a historic record for top 15 wins and significant victories over prestigious teams like Duke and Gonzaga.

Matt Jones: “In the history of Kentucky basketball, we have won more games against top 15 teams this year than ever before.” ([21:05])

Despite these achievements, Matt criticizes the athletic department for being disconnected from the average fan, emphasizing the importance of fan engagement over revenue.

Matt Jones: “The athletics department does not understand the average fan.” ([13:00])

He stresses that losing dedicated fans due to price hikes and lackluster outreach can undermine the program’s long-term success.

Team Focus and Future Goals ([31:59] - [32:16])

She emphasizes the team’s focus on rebounding and ball control to advance in the tournament, aiming for the Final Four.

Georgia Amore: “It has to be the rebounding, it has to be the controlling of the ball.” ([31:59])

The hosts engage in playful banter, reflecting on Georgia’s interview and sharing humorous anecdotes about interactions with guests like Jeff Goodman. They also solicit listener contributions, joking about sending belly button snaps for nicknames.

The show concludes with promotions for sponsors such as Cornbread Hemp and Old Kentucky Chocolates, intertwined with light-hearted humor and final thoughts on the ongoing sports season.

Nmlsconsumeraccess.Org welcome to hour two of Kentucky.

[Drew Franklin]

Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. It is our number two here, Kentucky Sports Radio. It's KS Bar and Grill, Wings Day, dollar wings all day and night. You can, if you come in throughout, can get them going. A lot of basketball games tonight. Women play tomorrow against Texas. 859-280-2287. Talking cats and balls. Let me do a couple other quick things here besides cats and balls, Ryan. All right, Carl Ravage made the mistake that it has to be a joke. Now people are trying to play on announcers because this is like the third announcer to do this. And at some point these announcers have to realize how stupid they sound. And poor Carl Ravich and his hairpiece did it last night with Jimmy Dykes. It was during the Texas game. And he goes the the SEC is so balanced in conference play this year. They're 82 and 82. Yeah, no kidding. In conference play they're playing each other. Somebody has to win and someone has to lose like they're always going to be. That's true of every conference. Every Single Conference has a.500 record against each other. When two teams play, one of them has to lose and one of them has to win. And Carl Ravitch said it and the other night I saw somebody else say it. How stupid are people that they think that that's a stat? Of course they're they're even. They play each other.

[Ryan Lemond]

So who do you think slid it to Carl? Does somebody give it send him A message or was it a producer?

[Matt Jones]

People been brightening on Twitter like they're. They're like, man, the SEC is so balanced. Every conference is balanced. Every conference is 82 and 82. They're playing each other.

[Drew Franklin]

The best part is when people say it. It's like they're about to blow your mind. They're like, you know how good they were in the non conference since January 500.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, come on.

[Drew Franklin]

Archie Miller did it in a press conference. Archie Miller, he said it. So, like, I'm about to blow everyone's mind with this stat. And then the room just laughs. Like, why.

[Matt Jones]

Why are people so, like, it makes me sad. I mean, I'll be honest with you. There are two things that make me sad. Listening to color commentators in sports and reading my mentions on. On. On Twitter. Those two things make me sad about the future of humanity. And. And. But. But Carl Ravage is on television. You've been doing this for 30 years. Like, 82 and 82 is not a surprise.

[Ryan Lemond]

Did Jimmy pick it up, pick up on it, or he just let it go?

[Matt Jones]

I think that's one of those things that you just let your guy get away with it unless you have a really good relationship. You know, like, I would make fun of Myron for it, but if somebody else did it, I'd probably let it go. I think that's what it was.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I only saw it was clipped off. Who knows? Maybe Jimmy doubled down and agree with it. But it is funny. People keep. It started as a. Like a just guy being silly on Twitter, and it's gotten legs.

[Matt Jones]

All right, now for this, Ryan, okay, we. I'm gonna. I'm gonna tell you something I think you're gonna enjoy, and I think it's gonna make you happy.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right? Because, like, I'm excited about this.

[Matt Jones]

I kind of know you. I kind of know the things that you enjoy. I'm reading a book. And by the way, if you all seem to enjoy the book recommendations, I'm gonna give you another one. This one is really good, and it's a true story. It's called Wager. It came out last year. It's about this, like, ship in Britain that tried to go around Cape Horn in. In South America in the 1750s. They ended up, like, shipwrecked on an island and, like, Lord of the Flies kind of stuff happened. And it's a true story, and it's really, really good. But in the process of reading the book, they talked about how, like, ship culture was huge in the 1700s. Everybody was fascinated about what happened on ships. And so it became a part of our language, ship culture. And there's a lot of sayings that we use today that came from back in the day when people would sail on ships. And so I have some of.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

And I thought you might find these interesting. This was all in the book. Do you know what the phrase toe the line means?

[Ryan Lemond]

I've heard it.

[Matt Jones]

But, like, how would you describe, just in real life, what. What it means to toe the line?

[Ryan Lemond]

Like, you want to get up to the line, don't cross it. You cross it, bad stuff could happen. You toe the line, get up there real close, but don't cross the line. That's what.

[Matt Jones]

That's not really what it means. I mean, it's kind of what it means, but it's not exact. It means, like, following directions. Like. Like you go up and you. Like, you tow the line. You do what people say. I guess it. It's a little bit of what you're saying, but that came from every day to make sure no one had drowned and to make sure that everyone was following orders. Everyone would have to go on a ship and stand, and there was a line drawn in the ship, and you would have to stand with your toes on the line to receive the direction.

[Ryan Lemond]

Never heard that.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. What about the phrase pipe down? What does it mean to pipe down?

[Ryan Lemond]

Be quiet.

[Matt Jones]

Be quiet. Do you know where that comes from?

[Ryan Lemond]

I bet you're about to tell me.

[Matt Jones]

It's exactly right. Every night they would play a loud pipe on the ship, which was the sign that all of you had to go to bed. So that was. That was what it meant to pipe down.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You've heard the phrase piping hot?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Do you know what that is?

[Ryan Lemond]

That. It's like a real something really, really hot. Burn your mouth.

[Matt Jones]

That's exactly right. At a certain time of day, they would play a pipe to everyone and that would say, hot food is now available for you to eat. It was like a signal that your meal was here, piping hot. How about that?

[Ryan Lemond]

So pipe down and pipe hot.

[Matt Jones]

How about another one? You've heard the phrase turn a blind eye to.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Have you heard that?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

What does that mean?

[Ryan Lemond]

It's kind of. Ignore it. Don't do it.

[Matt Jones]

Apparently there was a famous British general who was being told by his. His superior, don't sail towards battle. And instead he had one eye that didn't work. And he held his telescope up to the blind eye because he wanted to go into the battle. And he acted like he couldn't see the other way, but he was actually intentionally holding his pel. His telescope to his blind eye. You like that one?

[Ryan Lemond]

Is that a real story?

[Matt Jones]

Real story. And then the final one. This is what made me think of you. A phrase you like to use and I like to use. Scuttlebutt.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Do you know where scuttlebutt comes from?

[Ryan Lemond]

I can't wait to hear this one, huh?

[Matt Jones]

No. Scuttlebutt comes from. There's a part of the ship that was called the scuttlebutt, and that's where people would go to get water and to gossip about what's happening. So when we say is it scoop or scuttlebutt? It comes from ships and people getting around the scuttlebutt. It was like the water cooler of there to gossip with each other.

[Ryan Lemond]

The scuttlebutt was the water.

[Matt Jones]

How about those things? Toe the line, pipe down, piping hot. Blind eye and scuttlebutt. All I. I really thought that was interesting and I thought people might like.

[Ryan Lemond]

My favorite one's the scuttlebutt, because I have never heard that explained.

[Matt Jones]

I. We mentioned once on the show, where does that come from? And we didn't really know. And now, Drew, thanks to this book that I read, we know another back.

[Drew Franklin]

To back history, history lessons and informative information here on K12.

[Matt Jones]

When we say all these phrases all the time and we don't like, why do we say that now we at least know for those.

[Ryan Lemond]

I really think kids don't need to go to school. They just listen to our show. You're going to educate them enough.

[Matt Jones]

I think that was true until you talked about that commercial during the super bowl, which, by the way, the Repulsion. I've heard from women friends of mine, Drew, am I wrong?

[Drew Franklin]

My. Even my friends are like, Ryan, Ryan.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, every woman that listens to this show, the Repulsion. I hope you learned your lesson.

[Ryan Lemond]

I did. You know what I didn't do? I didn't toe the line.

[Matt Jones]

All right, I'll let you get one point back for doing that. Who's up next? Charlie. Charlie. Go ahead, Charlie.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt. First time, long time.

[Matt Jones]

Who are. What's up?

[Caller]

So I want to talk about the football season tickets you talked about yesterday. I actually had season tickets for about 16 years. And so I called the University of Kentucky yesterday to ask them about the pricing of the season tickets going up.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Caller]

And the parking issues. Because we have seven tickets and two parking passes. And at the end of the conversation, the Guy says, let me transfer you over to our team to cancel your tickets. And that's the response that we get after having season tickets for 16 years. And so.

[Matt Jones]

So did you cancel. Did you cancel your tickets? Your season tickets? No.

[Caller]

No, I didn't. He put me on hold. I don't know if he actually put me on hold or transferred me, but nobody ever came on the phone. But I looked at it this way. If they're going to play that game that they play, I'm just going to sit here and hold on to them until the deadline and not give them opportunity to have three months to sell them.

[Matt Jones]

You know, I mean, I get what. So you're not planning on renewing your seven tickets because of the price increase?

[Caller]

Absolutely not. And yeah, I have. I have two tickets and a parking pass. I got two buddies that's got tickets in a park pass. It's a total of seven tickets and two parker passes. But here's the thing. We have a tailgate trailer. I actually live down here in your neck of the woods. I live in Claiborne county. And we pull a tailgate trailer up there. We park in the purple lot, and they have moved all these people from the orange lot over to the purple lot. We were at a game, and then they're fussing at us about parking. And with the tailgate trailer. Well, we started the tailgate trailer in 2018. Oh, they were all about us coming up there. And now it's like, we want more people in this purple lot.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. And no, I mean, that's what they want. That's what they want it. Listen, I. And I appreciate the call. I've gotten a lot of feedback from people since we brought up the ticket thing. Here is what I understand has happened, and I think a lot of people are going to have the reaction that guy does. In years past, when we had eight home games, they would sell the total to you per game based on the eight home games. And then if the next year there were seven home games, it would be a little less because there's one less home game, and the price per ticket would be based on the games. This year, they decided even though we had eight home games last year and seven this year, it would be the same price. So you're pl. You're paying the same price, but you're getting one less game. So it's easy to kind of sell to people and go, oh, it's only. It's the same price, but it's not the same price. It's actually significantly more expensive. Because you're getting one less game. And then for parking passes, it's a hundred more dollars donation to the K fund for the parking passes. On the one hand, that may not seem like a ton, but on the other hand, that's a pretty significant rise. I think where it's really an issue is the increase for people who have trailers like that guy or who have RVs. I think there's been a significant increase for that. And I mean, I get it, but I also think it's being very short sighted to fans. Like, I think fans feel like they're trying to pull one on them. You're giving us the same price, but we're getting one less game. And I've heard a lot of feedback since we brought it on the show of people like this guy who are not Ryan happy about.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, the, the trailers and the RVs. That's. That you're. You're exactly right. That's where the big hits coming from. Like that guy said he's got seven tickets. That adds up when you have one less game and you're. You think you're paying the same price, but you're not. You're paying more because there's one less game and it adds up when you got seven or eight tickets.

[Matt Jones]

And if I was UK just, I'm losing seven fans, right? Like, I mean the money's important, but I'm losing seven people that made it a priority to come to my games and help build that environment. I mean that, that should matter to people. Like if I'm UK and I hear that, I want to reach out to that guy and just try to win him back. But like you've got to, you got to show people that, you know.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, put him on hold and not picking up again. That's not really inviting. And you know, once the season starts, we're gonna hear from Stoops. There's gonna be promotions. Hey fans, we need you. We gotta have you. You're a big part of this. Why aren't you here? Well, it's because you increase prices and you haven't been winning at home lately. So. I mean the fans have given a lot already. They showed up last year. Last year were not rewarded with an SEC win. And UK is gonna get what they get for putting this in this situation.

[Matt Jones]

There's a lot about UK athletics that I think they do really well. Okay. I mean, I think they've done a. I think Mitch done a great job hiring coaches. I think the in game experience in basketball has gotten significantly better this year. Still not where it needs to be in football, but better than it was seven years ago, probably. And there's a lot of things they do that are right. Here's the thing they do that is wrong. UK Athletics, and I'll, you know, die on the hill with this. They don't get the average fan. The athletics department does not understand the average fan. They don't. And the problem is they don't. But they think they do, which is an even worse set of it. They don't interact with the average fan. I mean, I love Mitch. I think Mitch Barnhart's a great ad. But I would ask him, how often do you get, as my mom would say, amongst them, right? Like, how often do you, you know, hey, Mitch, before a game, why don't you walk through this bar and see who's here? I know you're always in the. The club suite, but why don't you come walk through here and talk to the people that are at this place? Go walk around the tailgate lot at the football games, right? Like, ask those people what they think. Not just Mitch, but the other people that write. Because I think the athletic department is as a whole pretty disconnected from the average fan out in the state. Mark Pope, I think, is pretty connected to him. I think for a lot of his career. Mark Stoops did a pretty good job of that. I think the athletic department, Ryan, if I'm being honest, I just don't think they do a good job of it.

[Ryan Lemond]

And I do think you're right. And I think it's primarily the common everyday football fan.

[Matt Jones]

I agree. I think those are the people that feel the most.

[Ryan Lemond]

I agree. I mean, like I said, people still aren't happy. They took away their tailgating in their seats several years ago. Now they're about ready to do it again. Some of those people have left and it's still not come back. We just had that one caller. He's been a season taking over for 16 years. He's not coming back.

[Matt Jones]

You know, the team went 4 and 8. Not much you can do about that. But if you're coming out of four and eight, you really need to make outreach to the fans the most important thing you do. And, you know, I don't think there's been a ton of that going on. It's the final week to donate to God's Pantry food bank and the KSR donation drive. Let's team up. Donate $41 to God's pantry. Everybody out there, it's your last chance. Help give meals In Kentucky over 44,000 meals have been bought just from this show. We can do even more. So go to God's pantry.org KSR GodSpantry.org KSR 41 from Mark Pope. Or you can pick the number you want. I do it every time I read it. Hope you all will, too.

[Drew Franklin]

Godspantry.org KSR I'm gonna donate 51 today. That's how many threes Tennessee missed in the two games against Kentucky. I feel like that's a good number.

[Matt Jones]

I like that. That's a good, that's good. But the win was worth 51 to me. We'll take a break and be right back. This is ksr. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports radio here Wednesday, dollar wings. We just had a famous UK women's player walk in here and just walk right to the bar. She's saddled up, ready to go. I'm no, she just, she's just here because she's gonna come on at 11:30. 859-280-2287 let me quickly tell you about court physical therapy.

It's kort.com begin your health goals today with court physical therapy. Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

They're everywhere. They're all over the place.

[Matt Jones]

They are all over the place. One person writes Matt not worried about renewing the football tickets. I will, but I will say this year is going to mean a lot for what I do in the future. I think that's probably right for a lot of people, man.

[Ryan Lemond]

The crowds have been great and they've just not got the W's on the field. So if they have another season like that, you got to think some fans will probably because it's not, it's not cheap to go to these games. It costs a lot of money. You know, you factor in your, your parking pass, your seat, tailgating, food, alcohol. It adds up, man.

[Drew Franklin]

And now when you're trying to buy food, you could be behind a player. I mean, the wait to get a hot dog has gotten outrageous lately.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's a good line.

[Matt Jones]

2. That's a good line.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's a good line.

[Matt Jones]

Don't have to say that. Two, two things that are separate than the games. B. This is a sad story. Ben Chrisman was an offensive lineman for Kentucky the last two years, played A little on special teams occasionally. He transferred to UNLV during the off season. He passed away tragically off campus in at unlv. I don't know that details have come out yet about it, but a tragic situation. Played here for two years. So our prayers to everyone in his family and the team that played with him is an awful, awful story out of Las Vegas. Second thing, a little bit of a different story. Last night, I thought it was cool. Mark Pope's daughter, Layla, she is on the Utah Jazz dance team. And last night, I guess she learned a routine and did a. And did a dance with the UK Dance team wearing her dad's jersey as. As part of the dance team, they did a dance. The spotlight was on her, but the whole team knew about it and knew the dance. And Drew. It was very cool.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, she got a loud pop especially. I don't think everyone really realized at first who it was. I mean, they announced her, but really when everyone caught on, I mean, that was one of the better moments of the night. Outside of the basketball and, you know, we were just very critical of UK athletics, but the basketball experience this year has been very good with all the secondary stuff got a lot better.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't know if y'all have heard, but I like Pei Pei. She was great last night. But really, the why has been brought back. It used to feel like it was an occasional. And it was just, look around. Who's there? Last night it was Dwayne Casey. I don't know when he's been back. We've seen so many players that had disappeared for many years, and they've made that a big part.

[Matt Jones]

So Dwayne Casey. It's nice that Dwayne Casey has done that as well. I think that's really good. You guys can. If you. You guys what? You can go ahead and sit down somewhere. You're good. You don't have to. You don't have to wait up here. 859-280-2287. Who's up next? Let's go to David. David, Go ahead. David.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt, what's up?

[Matt Jones]

Goodness, Dave. Hello. How are you, man? You. You are the volume. I'll say that about you. David. You're always ready. Go ahead.

[Caller]

Thank you. I just want to say about my. What a year Mark Toba's having in his first year. I mean, beating. He's beating rivals this year. Who would have thought that after he got hired.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I mean, Duke, Louisville, Tennessee twice, and Florida. That's a pretty good run against our rivals. Yeah.

[Caller]

And. And I just want to say about Tennessee, that thing sucks like a big fat orange.

[Matt Jones]

That's true. I agree. David, thank you. Thank you very much. David's excited, man. And everybody should be excited. This has been heck of a. Heck of a few weeks.

[Drew Franklin]

Set a record last night. Most top 15 wins ever. Beat Tubby's oh3 team.

[Matt Jones]

That's a pretty amazing record. In the history of Kentucky basketball, we have won more games against top 15 teams this year than ever before. Now, part of it is we play a lot more. I mean, our. The SEC is better, so we're playing a lot more. But still, that's an amazing accomplishment. Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

And the fact we did. We beat Tennessee twice. Shorthanded. We beat Gonzaga. Shorthanded. Some of these superior teams were beating them by our bench guys coming off and playing well. I never would have predicted that.

[Drew Franklin]

And you got two more opportunities on the schedule. I mean, you could really break that record.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. You saw Alabama and Auburn and there's a world where Missouri could be in the top 15. Probably won't, but. But, but could be. So then in the SEC tourname, you might have more chances. So, I mean, this team, this team really is. I was on Cole Kublick and Greg McElroy show this morning and I said this is the best conference in the history of college basketball. And they scoffed a little bit, but I think it is. I mean, you know, there have been years where conferences had teams as good at the top as we have this year. But just think about Arkansas. Arkansas's the 13th best team in the SEC and they got two first round picks on their team. Like, you know, if. What, Arkansas's the 13th best team in the SEC? Come on. Like, the league is crazy right now. Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

You know, everybody likes to point to that. What? The big east of 85. That's the only other, I think, one you can compare with.

[Matt Jones]

But. And that one was great. But that Big east only had like nine teams. Like, we have 16 teams doing this. It's amazing.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. I mean, Arkansas, I think you're being generous calling them 13th. They could lose LSU tonight and get really bad. But I mean, you're talking about a team that had players that were on a good Kentucky team last year, a Hall of Fame coach, NBA draft picks, and they're at the bottom of the standings and can barely win SEC games. Just shows how hard it is.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, we are good. We have beat. We're one of only two teams to beat Duke. You know, we've beaten seven top 15 teams and we're in eighth place in the SEC. The league is just. The league is just crazy right now.

[Ryan Lemond]

You know, the NCAA Tournament, they try not to. They keep conference teams away from each other to what, the sweet 16.

[Matt Jones]

That's what they want to try to do. But with us this year, it may make it to where the sec. They can't do it. I mean, the goal is to make it to where you don't play each other till the sweet 16. I actually think that's a huge advantage for the SEC because there's a chance. Like, for instance, let's say we're a seven. Or let's just say we were a seven or eight seed. I'd much prefer to play this the ones or twos from the other conferences than the ones or twos from our conference. Would you rather play Marquette or Iowa State or Purdue? I certainly would. We'll take a break. George Amore, right after this.

[Georgia Amore]

Ksr, TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[Matt Jones]

Call tj.

[Georgia Amore]

He'll make him pay.

[Drew Franklin]

Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. Hey, everybody in here. Join me in welcoming Georgia Amore from the UK women's basketball team. Listen, first of all, you played on Monday night. We're just gonna act like that game didn't. Is that okay?

[Georgia Amore]

That's totally fine.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, that game was. They. Everybody cheated anyway, that. That game. I want to go back one game before that because I was sitting in a bar watching you all at what is at Oklahoma. Is that right? I'm telling you something. I've watched the. There was the SEC tournament where we hit the shot at the buzzer to win it a few years back, right?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Drew Edwards.

[Matt Jones]

But I don't know that I've had more hooting and hollering in a bar than I did watching you against Oklahoma. It was in Louisville. I was the only person, like, everybody's Louisville fans. And I'm in there, and you're sitting there crossing people up. Step back. 3. And you had me, like, going nuts. That had to be. That was national player of the week. Like, how awesome was that?

[Georgia Amore]

First of all, I need to know what bar that's at so I can go in and say, hey, show my face, celebrity.

[Matt Jones]

You should. Yes, you. I was losing it on the bar. People were looking at me like, what's wrong with you?

[Georgia Amore]

No, it was a lot of fun. Obviously, it's always great to get an away win, but, you know, with a performance I was lucky to have, obviously, you got to feel Good about it.

[Matt Jones]

Do you get in zones where you're like, they cannot stop me at this moment because it felt like in the second half of that game you were in it. Whether it was shooting or passing, it felt like you were in total control?

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah, I mean, definitely the zone is a real thing. The flow state and I had a lot of fun, obviously, it looks like that, but that's my job, you know, to create shots and pass other people as well. And I think, you know, you can talk about the points, but I did put a good facilitating show on as well, and that's what I take most pride in.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I mean, you certainly did. And now you guys hit the part of the schedule where it gets real, right? You all play Texas tomorrow night here, top 10 ranked. You got LSU coming here, you got Tennessee coming here, you go to South Carolina. I mean, those are probably the four best teams in the conference along with you all, and you got them all coming. Are you guys excited? I mean, the back end of the schedule got loaded. Are you ready for it?

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah, super excited. I think the way that our schedule was set up, it. It was nice for us to kind of gain chemistry together and get to know each other before we hit the ground running. And it's the quintessential SEC caliber teams that you have to face at the end of the season. But super excited for it. It's exactly what we came here to do.

[Matt Jones]

And it's going to be a loud crowd. How many kids you say were coming? He's bringing 17 kids on Sunday, tomorrow night. I kind of feel like it's going to be a wild atmosphere in there. First time Texas has been in rupp in like 40 years. What's it like getting ready for that? I mean, this is what you came here for, right?

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah. I mean, we just heard from marketing that we only have a couple hundred tickets left, so obviously it's going to be a good crowd. But you know, you play against a team like Texas and it's their first time here, first time playing against us in a regular season. There's a lot of stories and headlines, but it's going to be super exciting to say the least.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So let's, let's talk just schedule. You got Texas tomorrow, then next Sunday is Georgia. Sunday after that is lsu and then the Thursday after that is Tennessee. Four massive home games. Couple of those, I think LSU and Georgia are sold out. Yeah, Texas is still. Tennessee have tickets? Tennessee's got a few tickets. So there are tickets available for the weeknight games. How good Are we. We're like 20 and three. But like, are you feeling good about where this team is? You've been to a Final Four, so you know what it's like.

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah, I mean, definitely in a good position. Obviously you have a couple of disappointing losses on the year, but honestly, who doesn't, you know, if you're not losing, you're not learning. So we've learned a lot from that. And I think the biggest lesson was just rebounding. And for teams that we're playing, you know, you talk about the Texas and the Tennessee's, you have to limit turnovers and. And rebound the crap out of the ball. So that's what we're learning to do. When obviously when the time comes to do it, we'll know exactly what to do.

[Matt Jones]

I want to talk about that moment in that Oklahoma game after you had those points and it was in the passes and all that you and Kenny Brooks. It was like the sweetest mother, daughter hug I feel. Or not. Mother, father, daughter hug. Whoops, sorry about that. Father dog, if that's what it felt like. Like he seemed so proud of you and you all. It's after the water and all that stuff and it really felt that was a really kind of special moment. What was that like?

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah, I mean, it was special because all those moves that I did, all the shots that I created, we, we work on those things. He sends me clips of NBA players and we work on those moves the next day. So I think it was just kind of a moment. Whereas we had to really take it in how special it was that, that whole day, you know, a game against Oklahoma, they ranked what, 12th or 13th at the time to beat them on the road by that much as well. You know, it was just special. And we've made an effort this year to enjoy every last day, win or lose because it is like time's ticking for me. Like I'm out of here real soon.

[Matt Jones]

You're getting old. I mean like you're like Social Security here soon. I hope it's still available when you get it. Although I guess you're from Australia, so I don't know if you will be able to get it, unfortunately. All right, so since you came on last time, we got Ryan the amazing feedback. Everybody absolutely loved you when you were on last time. Are you starting to feel like a real connection with people from Kentucky?

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah. And it's actually the coolest thing I know. I see that you have a country boy advertising here and this is non sponsored, but I went there and it was the coolest thing to. To sit there and the guy at the bar was just like, great game the other night. Like, it was kind of chill, but the recognition was cool. The fans here are great. You know, it's a very respectable fan base, but the excitement is there, so it's cool to be out and about and around the mix with a bunch of people here.

[Matt Jones]

Cammie, you. She just. You're just letting her drop. She's just going to country boy doing her thing. Well, you know, 24. Yeah. Well, you. That's. You Aussies, you're able to. To do that. All right, so since your last time, I had people write in and they had questions for you. Okay, so. So let's do this. One person writes, I'd like to know, from Georgia, the most American thing she thinks she's done since she's been here. Like, what is the most quintessential American thing? You've done that when you were in Australia, you'd have been like, I would have never done that.

[Georgia Amore]

My diet change. But I would say, honestly, like, we went. We went and played in Nashville, in the tournament, in a. In a Thanksgiving tournament. And I think just being on that street and going to those honky tons. Oh, my. I really wanted to buy a hat. I really want.

[Matt Jones]

Why don't you get a hat?

[Drew Franklin]

We got hats.

[Matt Jones]

We got a hat. We bought a cowboy hat. You should get a cowboy hat to get them.

[Georgia Amore]

And I will.

[Matt Jones]

Well, the ones we went to, that was out in Colorado, but we'll get you a. We'll get you a cowboy hat.

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You like country music?

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah, you know what? I do. I actually do.

[Matt Jones]

Who's your. Who's your artist?

[Georgia Amore]

You know what's crazy is when. Last year. This time last year, I got a huge Chris Stapleton kick. Had no idea he was from this area, right?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, from eastern Kentucky. Yeah.

[Georgia Amore]

Had no idea till like maybe 4 weeks ago I found that out.

[Matt Jones]

But, yeah, no, we got. We produce all the musicians here. Do you guys have much of a relationship with the men's team? I mean, it's been exciting. Watch both teams play really well.

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah. I mean, you called me old before, so all the old heads hang out in the training room. So, you know me, Andrew Lamont is in there, but yeah, they're all nice guys. Come. A couple of them are good at conversation. A couple of mine never see, but, you know, that's how it goes.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. Well, that's all right. One person writes, matt, when do you think. Does Georgia think when she's done here? She will come back and visit Kentucky. Like, will this. You know, you were in Blacksburg a lot too, but will you, you know, got players have like their college home, you think you'll return it to Lexington?

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah, for sure. I mean, a lot of people might not know this, but I did grow up on a horse farm. So my mom, she's coming here actually on Friday and she's been to Keeneland before, so the horse industry and the vibe of that is appealing. So I wouldn't be surprised if mom uses me as an excuse to go with her back here.

[Matt Jones]

Now, what does this team need to work on going into March? You've got not just the, you've got these four big games, then the tournament. What do you think are the things that you need to do to kind of take the next step up and go from a team that's got a chance to make the second weekend to a team that's got a chance to make the Final Four?

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah, at this point, you know, scouts out and teams hit this. So at this point, it's just doing the little things to be successful, you know, it has to be the rebounding, it has to be the controlling of the ball. You know, it's not like we can come out here and magically turn me into a 6 foot 5 post or anything like that. So it's just the little things that's going to get us across the line.

[Matt Jones]

You're on SportsCenter yesterday you were shooting with Matt Berry. You got Matt Berry to rebound. I've done ESPN shows with Matt Berry. Did you know he is a stand up comedian?

[Georgia Amore]

Didn't seem very funny to me.

[Matt Jones]

He's not.

[Ryan Lemond]

So he should go more into broadcasting.

[Matt Jones]

No, I'm not trying to be me.

[Georgia Amore]

But like he.

[Matt Jones]

There's a reason he used to be a stand up comedian and now he's. But that had to be, I mean, I don't know, like, you know what SportsCenter is. I mean, that had to be cool to be on there yesterday, right?

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah, I know. He is a great guy and he's very easy. To be quite honest. They put the mic on me and they kind of said roll. And I just went with the flow. But, you know, that's how it goes. And yeah, it was a great conversation. And to get Kentucky out there on SportsCenter from the women's basketball perspective, it was, it was great.

[Matt Jones]

So give a message to the fans out here before the game tomorrow. And the game's coming up. Like you said, there's a couple hundred tickets left For Texas. There's some tickets left for Tennessee on the secondary market. You could get tickets to any games. Why? Why did they need to come watch what I think was maybe the best four game streak of home games that I can remember.

[Georgia Amore]

Yeah, the best. The best competition and time truly is ticking. You know, where we're on a, you know, level up from probably this time last year, if I don't say so myself.

[Matt Jones]

I think you can say that, yeah, we were bad last year where we're.

[Georgia Amore]

Having fun and we're hungry and, you know, keep proving ourselves right. So it'll be a good.

[Matt Jones]

Watch these. This is Old Kentucky Chocolates. They're one of our sponsors. They have chocolate covered grapes and strawberries. It is Valentine's Day. Would you like a chocolate covered grape or is that not an Australian thing?

[Georgia Amore]

I've never heard of chocolate covered.

[Matt Jones]

You need to try it. Right? Don't you? Do you think you could? That won't break her diet, will it, Cammy?

[Georgia Amore]

I'm tracking my calories. It's okay. I'll try for dessert.

[Matt Jones]

She doesn't want a chocolate covered grape. They don't have these in Australia?

[Georgia Amore]

No. You guys cover everything in chocolate and caramel and freeze dry and.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, but under it is a fruit.

[Georgia Amore]

True.

[Matt Jones]

Under it is nutrition.

[Georgia Amore]

That's like your salads. Like, I'm going to go get a salad. It's going to have a lettuce base, but I'm going to put bacon, ham, two boiled eggs. Like that is not a salad. That's a deconstructed burger.

[Matt Jones]

So. So you think we could use some help with the health?

[Georgia Amore]

I'm not sure if it's the help with the health. I think it's just a reality check of the language. Don't call it a salad.

[Matt Jones]

What would you call it then?

[Georgia Amore]

A deconstructed burger. A bowl.

[Matt Jones]

I like that. I would like. I'm eating healthy. I want a deconstructed burger.

[Georgia Amore]

I just want the burger without the bun.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. Well, I guess that is what it is. Georgia, I'll be at the game tomorrow night. Looking forward to it. I will probably talk to you again before March. This is a heck of a run. Go out there and kick some tail.

[Georgia Amore]

Appreciate it, guys.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you very much. Every year. Round of applause, Georgia Amore. Our favorite player coming in. We'll take a break. Barry backs Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio final segment. Great stuff from Georgia there. She's men or women. Probably one of the best I've seen at doing interviews. While they're in school, I was trying to think, you know, we've had a lot of people that are really good when they get out of school, but if you're talking about during school, you know, Max was really good, but like her, he was older. Trying to think, who else? DeMarcus was always really good. Ennis Cantor was pretty good. But who else, you think on her level of being able to. They're not many. Is.

[Drew Franklin]

I told you, when that ended, I can't remember a better interview than Georgia. Even yesterday on SportsCenter when they showed away and Williams and they were fine, but you could tell they were nervous to be on Sports Center. They go to her and it's like she's on Sports center every day. She was just a natural. Cut it up with Matt Berry, who is apparently not funny.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I mean, I'm not trying to crush Matt Berry. I'm just saying I got introduced to me as you're doing this show and he's a comedian and like, he was doing jokes and like, I had to do the, you know, you gotta laugh. Like there's a courtesy laugh you have to do. And that's a little hard to do sometimes. But he's a nice guy. He's a nice guy.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, she's the best player on campus. I mean, she is a dynamite. She is. No doubt. She is the best player on campus right now.

[Matt Jones]

It's already February, but we have a ways to go for winter. But Cornbread Hemp can help you buy two, get one free for Valentine's Day at Cornbread Hemp. I went to their facility a couple days ago and watched how they make it. It was fascinating. We're going to be doing a remote there in a few weeks. It is. It's an absolutely great place. Cornbreadhemp.com but for the buy two, get one free. Use my promo code Sweet deal to get you ready to rest, relax. After a big win last night, I had to take the Cornbread hemp gummies, full spectrum flour only hemp to kind of. It brought me down because I was so high from the game.

[Ryan Lemond]

Any, like, I understand, like, it's anything they have. You buy two, you get anything for free.

[Matt Jones]

So before we go, I did have lunch with Jeff Goodman yesterday.

[Ryan Lemond]

How'd that go?

[Matt Jones]

It went great. A couple things about Jeff. First of all, you need. If you're Jeff, you need to learn to not talk quite as loud. He was talking about a Lot of, like, really interesting behind the scenes stuff, but he has no volume control. So we're sitting in this restaurant and he's just like. And then John Caliperi said. And I'm like, whoa, man. Like, there's a lot of people around us, you know, you might want to just bring the volume down just a little bit. And then the other thing, while we were sitting there talking, his phone rang twice. And I would say, two of the 10 highest profile coaches in college basketball. He took the call while we were sitting there. He'd show me and he'd go, I gotta get this. And I was like, okay, I understand. And it was all I could do not to grab the phone and be like, hey. Yes, what's up? It's Matt. How you doing? You doing good? Like, it was very. I wanted to, like. It was crazy, you know? I mean, he. He actually does talk to kind of those big names.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, it's crazy. Hell froze over yesterday with you meeting up with Goodman for lunch. I saw him. I got a selfie with Jeff Goodman at Rupp arena when they were doing the field of 68 last night.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. I met him at this Starbucks right over here, and he wanted to go eat across the street at. Is it like, DV8 kitchen. But I was parked at Starbucks, and it's not easy to, like, get out and get over there. So we just walked across Broadway, and he and I both got hit. Almost got hit by a car. And I was thinking, that'd be a great news story. Matt Jones and Jeff Goodman run over by a car on Broadway trying to run across the street.

[Caller]

What.

[Ryan Lemond]

What kind of crazy world are we living in? Five years ago, if you told me that you would have lunch with Jeff and then have Rick Patino on KSR and everything would go, well, bygones be bygones, right?

[Matt Jones]

Like, what's the point of holding a grudge? You should learn that lesson.

[Ryan Lemond]

I have learned you're.

[Matt Jones]

You're the worst person I know about holding grudges. So, like, you've got a Might as well just move, like, move forward, forward. What do you think? You think you can do that?

[Ryan Lemond]

I think I can do that. I don't even know Jeff. But, yeah, he. And I'll go, it's not about Jeff.

[Matt Jones]

You have the people that you don't like. It's easy for you to forgive people that I had beef with. Questions. Can you forgive the people that you have beef with?

[Ryan Lemond]

Do you think a lot?

[Matt Jones]

You know what? You didn't answer the question.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, I definitely I'm still friendly to a lot of people that I don't really.

[Matt Jones]

You secretly don't like them?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Why don't you secretly try to like them?

[Ryan Lemond]

I. I do secretly try, but you secretly fail. I just don't want. Really have anything to do with them.

[Matt Jones]

Well, that's not exactly getting over your beef. That's what I'm saying. Who's up next?

[Drew Franklin]

Let's go to Chris.

[Matt Jones]

Chris. Go ahead, Chris.

[Caller]

Yes, I'd like to go back to, like, the ship culture conversation. I got a phrase to share, if you'll allow that.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Caller]

Have you ever heard the phrase cold enough to freeze the balls off of. Off a brass monkey?

[Matt Jones]

No, but I don't think that's quite as common as some of the words that I was using. But.

[Caller]

Well, and it's.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Caller]

And it is a common phrase. And is it. It's not what you. It's not what you would think it. Its meaning is, though.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, what's its meaning?

[Caller]

The meaning is, so back in the day on the ships, they would store cannonballs in a pyramid. I don't know if you've ever seen that. On a platform called a brass monkey.

[Matt Jones]

So when it was extremely cold, okay.

[Caller]

It would freeze and the brass would shrink and the balls would fall off. So it was.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Caller]

Cold enough to freeze the balls off of brass monkey.

[Matt Jones]

Well, first of all. So that's interesting. I've never heard that phrase. I appreciate the call, and I do is have you all heard that phrase?

[Drew Franklin]

I've heard it. Not. Not often.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, I've heard it. Didn't really know what Shannon did.

[Matt Jones]

You heard of it? I have never heard of that until 30 seconds ago. I think he made that phrase. These two just wanted to, like, feel like, feel as part of it. And then they said they had heard it.

[Ryan Lemond]

I've heard it. I didn't know where it came from.

[Drew Franklin]

While we're talking about phrases, will you please undo the send Drew, Travis Perry nicknames?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So going well, Travis.

[Drew Franklin]

I love you all, but I don't need any more.

[Matt Jones]

Drew needs more.

[Drew Franklin]

No, I do not.

[Matt Jones]

Drew Franklin, ksr. Any nickname you have for Travis Perry, he would like you to send them, actually, throughout the evening, if you would, so that he can get them all night long.

[Drew Franklin]

Remember that time I think you told people to send me their belly button on Snapchat, and I had, like, hundreds of Snapchats of just random belly button buttons. This is reaching that level of leave me alone.

[Matt Jones]

It's perfect. If you'd like to send your belly button, though, to Drew.

[Drew Franklin]

I think he would set myself up for that.

[Matt Jones]

I think he also. In addition to Trav. Actually, I walked right into that. Put your Travis Perry nickname on your belly button. Oh, God. And then airplane mode today for me. And then send it to Drew. I think he would. He would really like that ride.

[Drew Franklin]

What about Eddieville Munster?

[Matt Jones]

I mean, you can't call it that, but it's pretty good.

[Drew Franklin]

The lake show. I like the lake show.

[Matt Jones]

I kind of like Eddieville Munster. I'm not gonna grieve, even though it's probably not the nicest. Hey. Thank you all very much for coming out here today. We appreciate it. It's Dollar wings all day and night. We'll be back here tomorrow, then Friday. We're with the Kentucky State Police. So it's not a. It's not an open show. It'll just be us and. And the armed. Not the armed forces. The police forces on Friday.

[Ryan Lemond]

No crowd.

[Matt Jones]

No crowd. Thank you all very much. We'll see you tomorrow. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio.
