Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Show Kickoff & Bar Banter

• Atmosphere Check: The hosts note the early fall weather in Lexington, which feels like “early October” (02:51), setting a cozy, football-season mood.
• Wardrobe Roast: Drew Franklin gets gently ribbed for his semi-casual "realtor look," oscillating between business and couchwear, sparking playful debate over athleisure brands and Kentucky dress code culture.
  • “This is very much sort of business top, sit-on-your-couch-being-sad bottom.” – Matt Jones (03:47)
• Fashion Digression: Extended (and hilarious) critique of Drew’s polo, “Row flu” knockoffs, and “Viori” athletic shorts (04:55-05:29).

2. Matt’s First Local Public Meeting

• Neighborhood Politics: Matt recounts his first public neighborhood meeting since childhood, mixing humor with observations about civic participation:
  • “In Lexington, I think everyone's job title must have five to eight words.” (06:00)
• Meeting Mechanics: Amusing observations about the difference between progressive vs. conservative approaches to meetings, with progressives favoring extensive, sometimes repetitive, dialogue.
• Parking Crisis: The crux of the meeting centered around neighborhood parking problems at a park, quickly solved by Matt’s suggestion—“paint half of it yellow and put up a sign” (07:57).
• But… Matt Can’t Let It Go: When a city official claims they “foresaw” the problem, Matt presses further (“If you foresaw this coming, why didn’t we do something about it?” – 10:39), despite already having his solution. Drew and Ryan tease Matt’s inability to let things slide.
  • “You know, you couldn't have left that building without saying something.” – Ryan Lemond (11:07)
• Reflection on Running for Office: Matt humorously advises anyone considering local office to attend such meetings first as a “reality check.” (11:36)

3. Neighborhood Horses and Equestrian Easement

• Lexington Oddities: A lively turn as Matt reveals a listener’s claim of a “equestrian easement”—a historical right in certain downtown neighborhoods letting anyone ride horses, even across private yards, dating back to the 1840s. (13:59-15:23)
  • “Apparently not only can you own horses from High street to Sixth street, you can just ride around people’s yards.” – Matt Jones (15:21)
• Caller Confirmation & More Horse Lore: A later call (29:04) explores memories of coach houses, sighting horses on Fifth Street, and the unusual persistence of this tradition in modern Lexington. The crew is both bemused and delighted.

4. UK Football – Grove Street Returns & Atmosphere Changes

• Grove Street Return: Big news—UK’s traditional “Grove Street” hype song returns for the next game after a one-week replacement with Limp Bizkit's "Rollin’" led to widespread discontent (17:58-19:23). The hosts note the unique identity Groove Street brings to Kroger Field and how the switch led to a rare wave of unified fan protest.
  • “There are very few things we do at Kroger Field that kind of our thing. Grove street is kind of our... it’s one of the few things we have that we can say it’s our thing.” – Drew Franklin (19:23)
• Inside Scoop: Drew claims the cheerleaders were tipped off to the song swap well before fans (19:41).

5. Quarterbacks, Coaching, and the Upcoming Game

• Quarterback Debate: Analysis of whether (and when) backup QB Cutter Bowley might get a shot over starter Nick Calzada following a lackluster start.
  • Drew: “I gave 10, 15% chance” Cutter plays this week (21:46).
  • Matt: “If we’re not able to score on [Ole Miss], you start to say, okay, what’s the rationale for continuing?” (22:46)
• Ole Miss Game Stakes: The upcoming Ole Miss match is circled as a “revenge” game for coach Lane Kiffin following past defeats to UK (23:54-24:48).
• Strategizing the Schedule: Matt suggests if Calzada falters, start Bowley against easy opponent Eastern Michigan to gain footing pre-bye week (24:48-25:29).

6. Fan Experience at Kroger Field

• No Replay Debacle: Caller Bill and the hosts vent frustration at UK football’s in-stadium policy of not showing key play replays, particularly on reviewed calls, which erodes the live fan experience.
  • “You have created for the people at the game an experience that is objectively worse than they would have on television.” – Matt (32:40)
• Comparison to Other SEC Schools: The policy is almost unique to UK; others routinely show controversial play replays.
• Frustration at Focus: The hosts argue this is a sign officials care more about protecting refs and staff than the fan experience (33:45).

7. Quick Takes & Listener Questions

• Wings Day Debate: Extended debate over the superiority of wing drums vs. flats, inspired by KS Bar’s wings-day promo (41:47).
  • “They say that [flats] are supposed to taste better. They're juicier.” – Drew Franklin (42:27)
  • “The skin's better than chicken, if we're being honest … it’s not good for you but it’s–” – Matt Jones (43:02)
• Accents & Walking Styles: Listener and Tom Hart ribbing—Matt allegedly says “wharing” for “wearing”; Tom jests that Ryan walks like Joe Biden, prompting a spirited (if self-deprecating) discussion. (40:23-41:24)

8. UK News & Difficult Topics

• Sensitive News Acknowledged: The crew briefly addresses somber news involving a UK stunt team member and football player Jamari Wilcox, acknowledging the tragedies respectfully but refraining from commentary in respect for all involved (27:37-28:44).

9. On Bush Hamdan’s Offensive Playcalling

• Concerns Over Playcalling: A caller and the hosts voice concern about UK Football’s offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan’s lack of direction and innovation, especially given UK’s investments in receiver talent.
  • “I don't get it. I mean, I hope to be proven, if not wrong at least, to have my mind sort of proven … But I haven't seen anything yet … that makes me understand even what he's trying to do.” – Matt (44:02)
• Skepticism of Offensive Variety: Report that UK ran only 18 different plays against Toledo, raising concerns about predictability (45:53-46:32).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Our side feels like everybody should get to talk... and everyone should get to, like, give all their feelings.” – Matt Jones (06:39)
• “If you foresaw this coming, why didn’t you have somebody there? ... Why didn’t we do something about it?” – Matt Jones (10:39)
• “Apparently not only can you own horses from High street to Sixth street, you can just ride around people’s yards.” – Matt Jones (15:21)

Comedy Off Broadway welcome everyone, Kentucky Sports Radio Wednesday, September 3rd. I'm Matt Jones here at the KS Bar and Grill where it will be Wings Day Dollar Wings All Day and evening with Ryan Linman and Drew Franklin. I'm Matt Jones. You can give a shout on the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line 859-280-2287. A Vision Auto Glass text machine is 772-77-45254. It will be an Ask Anything Wednesday. We'll open up the phones in just a little bit. We're we're having a little bit of a delay issue so we're gonna fix it before we get the phones and let it be Ask Anything Wednesday. But we are here at the bar on, you know, not quite as sunny like maybe, maybe the first little chill of fall in the air today, but we Got the. The gates open and ready to rock. Got Philip here, he's doing his thing in old school UK baseball jersey. And we're ready to rock.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, it does still feel like it's football season, man. Feel like we're in October, like early October. You get that little crisp in the air, you walk outside like, oh, maybe I should have a hoodie and a shorts on.

[Matt Jones]

Definitely a crisp in the air. I. I like it. This is. This is. This is my kind of weather right here.

[Ryan Lemond]

Me too. But I feel like Ron's dressed up again. You keep throwing me off. Is something going on? You're looking. You're looking nice today.

[Matt Jones]

This is an odd shirt because I don't think it says business, but it also doesn't say leisure. It seems to say something in the middle. What is this? I like it, though.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, it is kind of in the middle. I gotta put my real estate realtor hat on today.

[Matt Jones]

This is a realist. Are you wearing. Yeah, but those are basketball shorts.

[Drew Franklin]

They're wearing like vioris.

[Matt Jones]

So you're wearing like a polo.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

That's nice. And basketball.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, the. The upscale viori shorts.

[Ryan Lemond]

Maybe the house he's showing has a court. You never know when a game will break out.

[Matt Jones]

What is viori?

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, you know, that's the stuff Livy Dunn.

[Matt Jones]

Is that why you got it?

[Drew Franklin]

Sure, yeah. She and I are very close.

[Matt Jones]

But you're the same clothes. This is very much sort of business top. Sit on your couch being sad bottom.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And you're trying to express both.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, exactly. You want to kind of want to be there when your realtor. I don't want coming out too hoty hoity toity professional.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, don't worry about that. Did you think about maybe wearing like, nice shorts?

[Drew Franklin]

These are my. Some of my nicest shorts. I've got these Viori Straits.

[Matt Jones]

It has a drawstring that's sticking out almost to your knee.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Maybe I'll tie that up before we go.

[Matt Jones]

So those are some of the nicest short. I mean, look. Yeah, Well, I guess medium end athletic shorts, but they are ultimately athletic short, but they're.

[Drew Franklin]

They're comfortable, I think, you know, that's when you see me want to say, that kid looks comfortable.

[Matt Jones]

Your kid?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

All right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, I like it. I switched to elastic. Also run. No need for buttons.

[Drew Franklin]

No need for buttons. What are we doing zippers and all that stuff anymore?

[Matt Jones]

Well, I mean, listen, it's just. It's just a. It's not that the. The outfit is wrong. It's Just seemingly a little mismatch, that's all. I'm yoga girl.

[Drew Franklin]

Got me some of these shirts.

[Matt Jones]

What are those shirts?

[Drew Franklin]

This is a knockoff of the rofl. What's the. The high end brand? Rafle Roo roll flu.

[Matt Jones]

See? A knockoff of row flu.

[Ryan Lemond]

I thought it was more like a Peter Malar type. That looks.

[Drew Franklin]

That's what it is.

[Matt Jones]

I thought it was.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Peter Millar.

[Matt Jones]

Is raw flu a thing, or did you just make up those silver.

[Drew Franklin]

You know, it's got the little dog character up here on the. On your shoulder. There we go.

[Ryan Lemond]

Not raw flu.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Again, far be it for me to say anything. What about this is Roebuck?

[Drew Franklin]

It's not. It's a knockoff of the rollback. It's like the generic.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's patterned. I thought it was raw flu when I walked.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

All right. Well, it's nice to see you.

[Drew Franklin]

Good to see you guys.

[Matt Jones]

859-28-0-2287. You know, I. Last night had to come down for my first big public meeting.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, yeah, you went.

[Matt Jones]

I went. Nice.

[Drew Franklin]

I've been waiting all night to hear.

[Matt Jones]

Went to the public meeting. So it was at the park. Since the meeting was about the park.

[Drew Franklin]

But it was at the park.

[Matt Jones]

It was at the park.

[Ryan Lemond]

So you're, like, doing it to its face. You're not gonna go hide church or.

[Matt Jones]

And you had. They were like. They introduced five people. In Lexington, I think everyone's job title must have five to eight words. So it was like. So it was like the director of traffic and management of park. And like, I don't. So I don't know who was in charge of what. I got the sense that one woman was in charge of the park, although I wasn't certain. I think there was a guy in charge of parking. I don't know if the council member showed up, but if she did. If he or she did, I didn't know which one it was. But there were five suits kind of leading the meeting. Leading the meeting. And then there was probably 10 or 12 residents. Very nice. First of all, to meet my fellow neighbors.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I found out that I have. I have some. Some people, like my age. There's a. There's a. There are KSR listeners that are my neighbors. There are a group of, like, six college students that live in one place. I think they let that slip. I'm not sure that that was. That they. That they meant to say that, but. And then there were some older folks, Right. That are like, lifelong. And, you know, they sit down and they let us. I think I've said this to you before, Drew. I am. I am progressive. More progressive, slash liberal, slash moderate. Little bit of all that. But one thing conservatives do better than us is meetings. Our side feels like everybody should get to talk. Right. And everyone should get to, like, give all their feelings.

[Drew Franklin]

Sometimes that's the best idea.

[Matt Jones]

And. And I'm very much like a bam. So in that respect, I knew this was going to be one of those, like, everybody. So, like, everybody gave their. Their thing, and we all had pretty much the same complaint, but everybody wanted to kind of express it a different way.

[Drew Franklin]

Did you?

[Matt Jones]

Yes. I just said, look, there's a lot of problems here, but if you'll just paint half of it yellow and put up a side, I think we're good.

[Ryan Lemond]

There you go.

[Matt Jones]

Bam. Bam. Brief. Okay. Just paint one of the sides yellow, let them park on the other side, put up a sign, we all go home. Right. We're all good at that point. We got. That's where we ended up. But it took an hour to get there. We had to walk around. I was good with everything, Ryan. I was in a good frame of mind.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Public meeting.

[Drew Franklin]

Sure.

[Matt Jones]

I'm meeting my neighbors.

[Ryan Lemond]

Was it your first public meeting?

[Matt Jones]

I have never been to a public. I think I went to the city council meeting when my mom was the. The city council lawyer, and Larry was on the city council in 1987. That's the last time I've been to a public meeting.

[Ryan Lemond]

They haven't changed.

[Matt Jones]

No, that was. I believe Larry had a heart attack that day. Yes. Wow. That was 40 years ago.

[Ryan Lemond]

Glad he's doing all right.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So luckily, I think everybody got through this one without heart attacks. We get to that. That ends up being the conclusion. And I'm good. But, you know, I have this trait in me. Right, Ryan?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

What is getting close to you in your fake row flu shirt? I have this trade in me where if somebody says something, sometimes I can't just let it go.

[Drew Franklin]

True.

[Matt Jones]

Right. So the lady. Very nice lady from the park. Oh, we're kind of closing the meeting. And she said, I just want everybody to know we foresaw this happening, and we had a plan. We have a plan for the future. You know, Know, this has happened in other cities. So we foresaw this, and I. I couldn't let that go.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

All right. We. We had already reached the conclusion I wanted, but there was something about when she said, we foresaw this. I. I just couldn't let it go. So then I said, I'm. I feel myself, Ryan, going. You know what? You're getting the solution you want.

[Drew Franklin]

Walk away. Walk away.

[Matt Jones]

Go home. It's dinner time. Right? It's time for your walk.

[Ryan Lemond]

I can see you sitting up in.

[Matt Jones]

Your seat, getting a little fidgety. You know me, I'm fidgeting because other people are, like, giving their stories, and I'm just fidgeting.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You know, I'm moving like this, and finally go. I have to say something. Appreciate you coming here. I even do the. Like, I love you, but, oh, no. This park is wonderful. This is bringing people from all over the city. It's beautiful. The kids seem happy. I didn't yell, tell them to shut up, but I was like, you know, these kids seem happy. So far, no one's fallen off a cliff. Like, it's all good. But I was like, I do have to say, if you foresaw this coming, why didn't we do something about it?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, right.

[Matt Jones]

Like, if you foresaw this coming, why didn't you have somebody there? Right. Why didn't we come up with some solution? And she didn't really have an answer for that. And I got the sense that there were some people that were like, we've won.

[Drew Franklin]

Be quiet. Go ahead.

[Matt Jones]

Why did you have to say that? You know what, Drew? I just couldn't. Like, she said, she foresaw it coming. Like, I was like, you got them. Why didn't we do something about it?

[Ryan Lemond]

You know, you couldn't have left that building without saying something.

[Matt Jones]

You would have been tossing and turning it home. You would have called her in the.

[Ryan Lemond]

Middle of the night to tell her.

[Matt Jones]

I had to say, like, if you. If you didn't foresee it coming, then you know what? I get it happens.

[Ryan Lemond]

Who considers the side street in the. In the park, the fact that people.

[Matt Jones]

Are just leaving dumps full of diapers everywhere? Like, who could see that happening? But anyway, I. I. But otherwise, the meeting I thought went, went, went positive meetings in your future. You know what?

[Ryan Lemond]

More meetings in your future.

[Matt Jones]

No, I mean, if I. It's very. I think if you're considering running for office, especially local office, just go to a meeting. You won't want to do it anymore. Like, I would say to you, if you think you're gonna run for mayor, just go to a city council.

[Drew Franklin]

Go to one of those City council.

[Matt Jones]

Or just go to one of these meetings. Because I can't imagine, like, as much as this bothered me, what if you had to do that for every neighborhood?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You'd Want to pull your hair out?

[Caller]

What?

[Matt Jones]

Wouldn't you, if you had to go into every neighborhood and listen to the people in the neighborhood like me? Wine. You'd by the end of it, go, what am I doing with my life? So, Ryan, I would say to you, before you go to mayor, run for mayor and demolish Nicholasville Road. I would say, go to some of those and see if you really want to do that.

[Drew Franklin]

Is. That is great advice. Because, you know, every one of these meetings, there's somebody like you at every one of those meetings asking that question when it's time to wrap up. Well, wait a minute now. Let's talk about this a little bit.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. No, you've been to some. Like, you went to the Walmart or something, right?

[Ryan Lemond]

About the new Kroger. I didn't want to go. When I got there, my dad had saved us a seat in the front row where it looked like we were on a committee. I was like, dad, we could have blended in back here. 20 minutes into it, I'm like, why am I here 40 minutes into it? I didn't want to leave. I wanted it to last all night. Great people watching.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. And some people wanted solutions that I were too much. Like, one person was like, let's get residential parking permits. They're $30. I'm like, $30? How did we end up going from having to do nothing to paying $30? You know, we had a woman say this.

[Ryan Lemond]

This project wasn't considered when I bought my house in, like, 1977.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

And I wanted to be like, it's tough. You know, I don't even think we had Internet.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. One person in our group was like, well, now there's kids in our yard. And I'm like, well, that's just. That's kind of life, I think.

[Drew Franklin]

Did the horses come up in any.

[Matt Jones]

I brought up the horse.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I did bring up those. Covered a lot in this meeting. I was like, what's up with the horses? You know, I didn't know about the horses, and the horse people were not there. So the people who own the horses. How about this? There are four horses there in that little yard. I thought there were one. There was four. And apparently there's a new one.

[Caller]

And.

[Matt Jones]

And, like, it's running around being baby horse everywhere, but there's four of them. And did I tell you about what the person wrote me after the show? The equestrian easement? No.

[Drew Franklin]

No.

[Matt Jones]

Have we talked about this now? I. I don't know if this is true. Okay. I don't know if this is true, but I'm told by who, someone who wrote on the text machine and used big words. So I feel like they might have known what they were talking about. Listen to this craziness. All right. If you live in Lexington from High street all the way to 6th Street.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so think about high street to 6th street. This includes Transylvania. Yeah, this includes all of that there is in Lexington from High street to Sixth street, something called an equestrian easement that goes back to 18, like 40, and it allows anyone who owns a horse to ride their horse through all of that, including private yards. That because of the. That, you know, you got to think. You got to go back to that time pre cars. The horses got around. I don't know what the thought was, but if you lit. So apparently not only can you own horses from High street to Sixth street, you can just ride around people's yards. Now I want you to think about that. That means you could, like, walk up and down the steps at RUP arena with it.

[Drew Franklin]

It's in that area.

[Matt Jones]

I know you can't go. I don't think you can go in people's houses. But, like, if I go in my yard, if you're. If you live from high street to 6th street and you look up and somebody's like riding a horse in your.

[Drew Franklin]

Yard, nothing you can do about it.

[Matt Jones]

You can do about it. There is an equestrian easement from high street to 6th street throughout Lexington.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, you've just solved our traffic problem, so saddle up.

[Matt Jones]

So that is, by the way, how that got person can own horses.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Is that. That's there. And. And it. And who knew, like, who would have ever imagined that some. That such. Such a thing existed?

[Drew Franklin]

Do you ever see them out? Do they ever walk the horses or ride the horses around in the neighborhood?

[Matt Jones]

You know, how long I've lived there? I didn't even know there was a horse there until a couple weeks ago, until I heard it. Nay.

[Ryan Lemond]

Seems much bigger than the parking at the park, to be honest.

[Matt Jones]

One of these days we're going to see some horses just galloping down vine and you're going to go, this doesn't seem right. And you're going to remember this show. The equestrian easement.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Allows them to do.

[Drew Franklin]

I'll be dang. So a little history lesson about downtown Lexington.

[Matt Jones]

It is Kentucky Sports Radio here at KS Bar and Grill, 859 280-2287. It's Ask Anything Wednesday. We got the delay fixed right now so go ahead and come on in and give us a shout. I think the biggest non parking news at my house is that UK announced that they're bringing Grove street back after a one week hiatus where there will be once again a whole lot of money. And I can't say the rest of it but that, but that will all be at the game. Apparently. The statement given to KSR the website drew was we weren't trying to, you know, not we weren't making a change. We just thought the atmosphere needed a change. That makes no sense to me but either way they're bringing it back. Are you glad that this one week crisis is gone?

[Ryan Lemond]

I am. I don't know why they went to Limp Bizkit instead.

[Matt Jones]

People asked what Lip Biscuit song it was.

[Ryan Lemond]

It was at least rolling. Wasn't, you know, they were trying to get them going. Yeah. Grove street they did. I think they even were overplaying it a little bit. But you can't just completely take it away out of nowhere. Especially the someone had shared A video of the intro, which is like the raw audio of the team running in. Couldn't even tell the sound. It sounded like one of those NFL themes we had like just generic bumper music you get. So I'm glad they're. They're making sure Waka Flocka is back next week.

[Drew Franklin]

You know, we've said it many times. There are very few things we do at Kroger Field that kind of our thing. Grove street is kind of our. It's one of the few things we have that we can say it's our thing. And it wasn't just a game day decision. Like, they knew earlier in the week that they, you know, cheerleaders knew they weren't going to play it.

[Matt Jones]

So wait a minute. Is this, is this scoop?

[Drew Franklin]

I think. Well, scuttlebutt.

[Matt Jones]

But it was a scuttlebutt is the cheerleaders were told earlier in the week. No, gross. How in the world could you know that?

[Drew Franklin]

I have my cheerleader sources.

[Matt Jones]

How would you know that?

[Drew Franklin]

I. I don't remember who told me, but somebody told me yesterday.

[Matt Jones]

I don't remember who told you. I mean, we know his, his scoop.

[Ryan Lemond]

Has wide reach, but I didn't think.

[Matt Jones]

It was the cheerleaders. You didn't think you got the cheerleaders pre game talk.

[Drew Franklin]

Cheerleaders knew going into the game that Grove street was not going to be played.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so now there must have been a lot of emails sent to Mitch for there to be this.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

To be, for there to be this quick of a decision. But that's good. Hopefully it will, it will, it will ramp up. I mean, I said yesterday, I, there's no, I'd never gotten more messages about the atmosphere. They continued after we talked about it yesterday. Continue with people saying, terrible atmosphere, terrible atmosphere. Do you think this will make it, make it better?

[Ryan Lemond]

I think so. They had to have heard so much. I, I was there and I kind of thought it was bad. But we're, we're in clothes, so I'm not really. Shouldn't be the judge. But I got so many messages and our message board online had so many people complaining about it that I knew it was an overall problem. I haven't seen people complaining unified and complain about one thing like that in a long time. They were very upset with the music and the overall experience.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. So. So hopefully that makes it better. Now we got to get ready for the game. All right, so it's a 10 point, 10 point spread. You know, give me a percentage chance. Cutter Bowley plays Yeah, I mean, I heard you and I say this with love. You weren't the only one saying it, but I heard people say, oh, there'll be packages for Cutter. Bowling. There were no packages. I hear that every year. I will never, ever believe that during the Mark Stoops area that there will be packages beyond third one and put in a quarterback to dive and get a touchdown. Beyond that, I don't expect there to be packages. With that said, you think there's a chance he could play Saturday if things don't go well?

[Drew Franklin]

I'd say there's a chance, maybe a small chance. I like, I thought, I thought we might see him at last Saturday. So if you're giving me a percentage chance, I gave 10, 15% chance.

[Matt Jones]

Stoops acted like yesterday, still a possibility. I mean, he didn't, he didn't say, yes, we're going to play him if things don't go well. But he, he also didn't just completely slam the door on that being a potential move.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, I'd still go at least for week two, very low. I'll say like 4% now if Calzada hasn't done something a few weeks after that. I think you think long and hard. But week one, even though Calzada didn't win a lot of people over, I also don't know that he was the big problem. He had a couple throws that were just on the fingertips. You know, Rodriguez fumbles, maybe his best play with it had him in scoring territory and a lot of thought was on the play calling. So I give Calzada a little bit longer before I started thinking about sitting him.

[Drew Franklin]

So I asked you this right at the end of the show yesterday. You know, if that's the best you're going to get from Calzada, why don't you go to Cutter can build for your future then.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I don't necessarily disagree with you, so I guess what I would say is if that is the best that you can get, then I do think there's an argument that you go with Cutter. I'm not convinced that one, a kid after one game in his first new offense, we just say, well, that's the best we can get from him. I think you got to give him a chance. I think you'll know more after this week. I mean, if he's able to do nothing, because you got to remember about Ole Miss, even though they're good, like really, really good on offense, their defense gives up points. I mean, they've all. They always give up points. So if we're not able to score on them or we're not able to pass the ball, you know, then I think you start to say, okay, well, what's the, what's, what's the rationale for continuing?

[Ryan Lemond]

And he's denying it, but it's a big game for him. He, when he was A and M's quarterback, he went to Oxford. It was the top 15 matchup. I think both were still in SEC contention. And he threw a pick two interceptions in the fourth quarter. One was a pick six. That basically ended the game. So he denies that Ole Miss is circled, but it's the lowest point of his career playing against Kiffin in that team. Even though it was four or five.

[Matt Jones]

Years ago, Kiffin said in the press conference, that game still eats at me every day. And it's, it's clear that was, you know, you. I often like to sit and think, okay, well, what does their fan base think about it? There's this belief, I think they all still love Lane Kiffin, but they have a belief of, yeah, I don't know if he's ever going to take us to the promised land. And if you were to look and say, what is the game that makes Ole Miss fans the most pessimistic about them? I think they would say it's the Kentucky game. I mean, I think that, that, that you talk about circling a day. They have circled this date all year, Ryan.

[Drew Franklin]

And no, and no doubt about it, Stoops out coached him last year. Matter of fact, last couple times they played Ole Miss. Stoops and the staff has done a great job preparing for Lane Kiff's crazy offense that he runs a lot of times. So I think it is kind of become a little personal for Lane Kiffin to try to prove that he could someday finally beat Stoops in uk.

[Matt Jones]

I would say this. I came into the post game show the other night saying, well, I think you give Nick, I think you give Calzada, Zach, two more games and then if it doesn't work out, you do the bye week and consider then somebody made a good point of, well, I mean, what's Eastern Michigan really going to tell you? I mean, they're bad. It's not going to tell you anything. So if you think that change needs to be made, let Cutter play the Eastern Michigan game, get his feet under him, then he has a week off. That makes some sense to me now. I don't want to give up on Calzada at all. I still think you got a better chance to win with him. But he's got to show something this week. I do think that, yeah, I think.

[Ryan Lemond]

You, you get him in against Eastern Michigan no matter what. Listen, Heck, it's a close game, but I think you go into that game planning to play both. Get Cutter as many looks as you can just in case for the future.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Ask anything Wednesday. 859-280-2287. We will take your calls. Billy's here. Is going to try to change over so that we don't have a delay. Cross your fingers. Billy goes to work during the break here. When we come back. We'll be right back. This is Kentucky Sports radio. Welcome back Kee Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. It is Ask Anything Wednesday, by the way. We will we have an announcement coming at 11 o' clock and we just like everybody be ready. This is a big announcement for us. 11am should have said that off the top, but I need to talk about the parking situation. So 11am we have be listening. So make sure to tune in at the top of the hour. Ryan. Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

You kind of teased our folks that are here. They kind of know what's coming. It's kind of a big deal.

[Matt Jones]

Y' all better not tell anybody. You guys know right here, ma'. Am. I'm be watching you looking down over there. I'm gonna be watching you. If it gets tweeted out, I'm gonna know whose fault it is. This is Santa Monica guy. He went had his massage. How was that little hanky paint massage there? It was awesome. Good. I'm glad to hear it. 859-280-22871 person writes Matt, how do we know? We know Nick Calzada won't do anything after this game. We should just go ahead and go to Cutter Bowley now. Well, I mean how can he's played one game. How can you say how do you know? I mean, I love Cutter. Think he's got a good future. He played a couple games. We didn't get a lot of accomplished then either. So I mean there's not if you're going to judge, I don't understand how you can judge. Zach calls out on one game and Cutter, I'm, I just, you gotta let it play out a little bit.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, I'm like everyone else. I wasn't exactly blown away by 80 something yards. But I don't know if you, you bench him after that either. Like I said, I thought he had a couple good throws. Just missed the mark. The one early to hester I thought we had something good going. That one gets taken away, the other one, explosive play fumbled away. So it wasn't all completely on him, even though I still want to see more from him.

[Matt Jones]

Another person on Ask Anything Wednesday and I've gotten a bunch of these says Matt. Are you all not going to say anything about the UK stunt team member? Well, I mean, it's awful, but what are you gonna say? I mean, it's awful. Like it's, I'm not, you know, ultimately on this, on this talk show, we're trying to make conversations that are interesting or whatever conversations, and that's just terribly sad. And it's in the news. I mean, I, I don't know what you say, except to say it's awful. And for people who don't know that you can, you can look it up, but that it's not hiding it. I mean, the same thing's true about UK running back Jamari and Wilcox. I believe he has a court date this morning. If you, if you look, it's awful, too. What are you gonna say? I mean, I think we just have to kind of let these things resolve themselves and say it's terrible.

[Drew Franklin]

You know, it is, it is very, very sad what happened, both instances. And it just, I always feel bad for the families, you know, the families. But these kids, they're kids, they're 19, 20, 21 year old kids make mistake and it's, it's extremely sad.

[Matt Jones]

And, you know, potential victims, I mean, that's. That to me is you, you have to, you have to feel sad about. But I don't really know beyond that, what else you can, what else you can say. What's next? Or. Rick, we got to ask. Anything. What's first? Tyrone is up first. Tyrone. Go ahead, Tyrone.

[Caller]

Hey, man, you were talking about the equestrian, Eastman.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Caller]

All right, if. I don't know if you remember Transylvania, around those, the university, there's a lot of houses that have coach houses and that's where, you know, people kept horses. And there's still an actual working horse farm on Fifth Street.

[Matt Jones]

There's a horse farm on Fifth Street. Like a full farm.

[Caller]

I don't know how big it is, but they had horses down there. You could go there and ride. And I remember there was a guy.

[Matt Jones]

Did you know that you could ride horses on Fifth Street?

[Ryan Lemond]

No clue.

[Matt Jones]

Well, there you go. Now we know what these folks will do after the show. They could go ride horses on Fifth Street.

[Caller]

The guy that owned the property, he. I would as a kid see him ride down to Broadway. On a horse. On a horse.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Not every day.

[Matt Jones]

Well, he's allowed to do it. Well, I appreciate the call. I also, somebody told me there's a pony in like Tate's Creek.

[Drew Franklin]

Just walking around Tate's Creek area.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, I think it has a guide or something. I don't think he's just hanging out himself, but like there's somebody or maybe in Chevy Chase or something.

[Ryan Lemond]

There's one off Clay's Mill somewhere. I'm trying to picture it, but I've heard people talk about it. I don't know the exact spot.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. One person writes, matt, don't make fun of the brand that Ryan's wearing. It's a luxury brand. Is actually quite nice. Except that's not what he's wearing. He's wearing. Let's see what your. Your brand is. Your brand is. It looks to be. Now this is how you know you got high quality. It looks to be brandless. Oh, see, it looks to be like you don't even have a brand.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, it's good.

[Matt Jones]

What do you.

[Ryan Lemond]

What do you give into these corporations?

[Matt Jones]

Where did you get that, by the way?

[Drew Franklin]

Yoga girl got it for me for my birthday.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think they're saying the shorts are the high end brand. Those are a little lofalutin.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, well, except they're not either. Didn't you say it was a knockoff of them?

[Drew Franklin]

No, these are Voris.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, look at you. Got the V. All right, good.

[Drew Franklin]

Hang out a lot together.

[Matt Jones]

Please stop. What's next?

[Drew Franklin]

Got Bill up next.

[Matt Jones]

Go ahead, Bill.

[Caller]

Yeah, Matt. Regarding the in game experience, I don't.

[Ryan Lemond]

Know if I'm the only one that.

[Caller]

Really gets frustrated about this, but when there is a Paul that's being questioned. We don't get any replays. Hate it for two or three minutes and it's, it's, you know, you pay to go to the game, and if I were sitting at home, I get to watch five different replays from four different angles. But it's very frustrating at the game. That's all.

[Matt Jones]

Totally agree with you. That drives me crazy, Bill. For the people here who can't hear, he said he doesn't like that. You don't get replays at the game. I hate it. I don't get it. Like, why? First of all, that does not happen at other stadiums. At Ole Miss last year, you remember, you had the question about whether or not that was a catch. They showed it over and over. Why don't we do that here?

[Ryan Lemond]

I tried looking into this last night. I Found Mississippi State, Nayland, Texas, all the big ones obviously. But like even Starkville, Oxford, they all have replays. Why don't we haven't yet found out about Vandy but so far every school I've looked at has live in stadium.

[Matt Jones]

And it would help you know whether or not taboo or not like literally. You know, sometimes I think fans get mad at calls that if they saw the replay they wouldn't get mad like but if you don't see the replay.

[Ryan Lemond]

And that was part of the problem on Saturday that I think it was the Hester catch. It had a long review and there was just nothing going on in the stadium. We're thinking we just kicked off the season.

[Matt Jones]

They didn't show that Hester review.

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't think so. I was sitting talking to people with me in the press box about how Texas Ohio State's on right now and we're sitting here with just downtime.

[Matt Jones]

I want you to think about that like Notch, that is a massive play in the game. It's a long pass, he catches it, his elbow is out of bounds. But if you're the fan, you don't even know that and you have created for the people at the game and experiences is objectively worse than they would have on television. On television they could see the replay. They actually would know whether or not he was in bounds. And the people that have paid you money, you have created a worse experience for them. I. I just don't understand that. Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, I still saw complaints from Saturday. People just trying to check other scores on their phones. That's like I'm on an island at a UK game. If there's downtime in UK game, we're.

[Matt Jones]

Just sitting there and they can't say that that's normal because it does not happen in the other stadiums, at least the ones I've been to. I mean the old Miss game that Barry and Brown catch, I remember them reviewing it and the crowd was mad and then they watched it. They were like, I think he did catch it actually. So we're just going to have to.

[Drew Franklin]

Kind of deal with this has been an internal Kentucky decision. It goes back 20 years. I mean that's just something they've decided.

[Matt Jones]

But why?

[Drew Franklin]

I. I don't know. I don't know what this. The decision was made, but they've stuck with it for this whole time.

[Matt Jones]

I hate it. And again, it's part of the general. The people that make decisions about experience for fans do not think of the fans. They think of covering themselves and they think of Making sure that either the. The refs don't get criticism or the coaches don't get criticism and they do not think of the people who pay for the games. And I don't just don't understand it. There is no logical reason not to have replays except to protect the refs. Right. Like that would be the only reason to protect the referees. And I mean, they're big boys and girls. They can handle it.

[Ryan Lemond]

So I get carried away. But plays like Texas, another different level. But like some places cut into other games like on the slow down. Look what's happening over here in the conference.

[Matt Jones]

All right. LSU and Clemson, of course, played Saturday.

[Drew Franklin]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

I like coaches fighting and I especially like coaches fighting that are fighting with Dabo because he's the worst. Dabo made a statement that I don't think he was necessarily trying to offend anyone, but I think he was trying to take up for his team. And here's what he said about the LSU Clemson game. It was a hell of a game. Came down the last play right out of the gate. It's like getting the final exam on day one. Looks like to me they made a 65. We made a 58. Neither on. Neither one of us were great. So he gave LSU like a D minus.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Right now, I don't think Brian Kelly like Dabo's comment giving his team A65. Here's what, here's what Brian Kelly said. I think we dominated them in the second half. So he's a really, really hard grader for. A really, really positive grader for giving himself a 58. Or he's a really hard grade us. Or maybe he didn't see the second half, which that might be the case. Maybe he didn't want to see the second half. I like that. Oh, you must be a really positive grader for your team and a hard grader. You say it was 65, 58. We dominated you. And he's right. They beat him 14 nothing in the second half, and I would argue is actually 21 nothing. They took a touchdown away from Barry Brown. That should have been a touchdown. But Brian Kelly didn't seem to like that comment.

[Ryan Lemond]

I watched the video yesterday and I don't like Brian Kelly. I will immediately turn off anything Brian Kelly, including that Netflix show that started with him. But I enjoyed him kind of clapping back at Dabo there. It's like two coaches I don't like are fighting. So I'm just going to sit back with my popcorn and watch this.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I think most people those are two coaches they like the least and here they are. They're yapping and chirping at each other, but I don't know how you can say anybody. LSU shut them out on their home field the whole second half they dominated Clemson. The second half they a little better than a 65D minus.

[Matt Jones]

I like that he said though you must be a good grader to give yourself a 58 you get. You guys deserve like a 25 dabo.

[Ryan Lemond]

To me coaches play nice and just don't want to create headlines. I like when they go back.

[Matt Jones]

I do too need more of it and they go back. The Clemson goes there next year. So I like that it's going to.

[Drew Franklin]

Add to it that the environment, the atmosphere.

[Matt Jones]

All right, this can be a big sporting weekend. After your couple's massage you could have a weekend. Let me tell you what you would do. Tug games obviously Saturday, but Friday they put the Lexington Soccer Club plays against North Carolina FC and it's $50 beer night. Then Sunday it's college night. Okay, maybe not that one for you, but nevertheless you, you, you. It's it's Women's Super League versus Brooklyn fc.

[Drew Franklin]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

So there you go. Powered by her night Lexington Sporting Club Friday and Saturday and two time Olympic goalkeeper and FIFA World cup champion goalkeeper Brianna Scurry will headline a special panel ahead of the game. Panel runs from 12:45 to 1:15 and is open to all match day ticket holders led by Louisville native and reigning super league player of the year Amina Ekich. Don't miss your chance to witness [e-mail] you could go to a sporting event all three days in Lexington this coming weekend.

[Drew Franklin]

The people that go out there love it, love the environment. I think it's really kind of catching on and I hope it does well.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live at KS Bar and Grill. Wings day dollar wings all day and night. Come see us tomorrow night. NFL starts. What is the Eagles? Cowboys. Is that right? First game of the year, 820. We're going to have big drink specials here. We'll tell you more about it as we come. And also sponsored by Cornbread Hemp. Thursday Night football, which is always a fun time here.

[Drew Franklin]

I suspect the Eagles will be the favorite again to win the Super Bowl. But the Cowboys, now, they're just reeling after that Micah Parsons trade. But that's all we hear. You turn on the national radio. It's all about Cowboys. Deal.

[Matt Jones]

Ask Anything Wednesday. One person writes. Matt, why do you always put an H in wearing? It's not wearing, it's wearing. I guess I do do that, don't I? Wear, wearing. Do I say it with an H?

[Ryan Lemond]

We're using a sentence.

[Matt Jones]

I was wearing clothes.

[Ryan Lemond]

You know, I've never noticed that.

[Drew Franklin]

No, I had never noticed it either.

[Matt Jones]

Well, look, everybody has a different way to pronounce it. Now. Tom Hart writes in and says, why does Ryan walk like Joe Biden? All right. Actually, you know what? He kind of does. Okay, I want go look. Mario put a video out yesterday for for Wings day where Ryan's walking and and he does kind of walk like Joe Biden. His hands are kind of to the side like a duck. Gotta go watch this. Go watch this video.

[Ryan Lemond]

I saw the video, but I didn't notice Joe in real time. I'll have to.

[Matt Jones]

No, I mean Ryan, Tom. Right. Like why do you walk like that?

[Drew Franklin]

We're just two good old boys from Scranton.

[Matt Jones]

Hey, hey, big blue.

[Drew Franklin]

Go big blue. Hey, you know my sister in law Simone's world.

[Matt Jones]

Hey, go big blue.

[Drew Franklin]

This good Old boy from Scranton.

[Ryan Lemond]

I see it a little bit.

[Matt Jones]

No, he does. Tom Hart's right. I'd never noticed it. But you also. I love when you try to act.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Like the thing I like about that video is like you just. You become. When you become an actor, you're like a different personality. You're like so who likes wings or flats? And then your hands are flapping out to the side like you look like a duck.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Or a penguin.

[Drew Franklin]

Definitely not an actor and never intend to try to be one.

[Matt Jones]

You did start a debate though online because you all were debating for wings day whether you like wings or flats. And which one did you pick? I picked drumsticks or drumsticks or fights.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, yeah, but. And Mason picked wing the flats.

[Matt Jones]

I didn't know that there were people that liked flats.

[Ryan Lemond]

And that's controversy.

[Matt Jones]

And then I put that out and like there's a lot of people that like them. Why they're. They're objectively like when we get wings here. I sometimes am like hey, you know, I. I kind of own this place. Throw me a couple extra drumsticks here. Like.

[Ryan Lemond]

But I know people that will go out and it's flats only.

[Drew Franklin]

Flats only.

[Matt Jones]

Why? What's. What makes a. What's. What's the pro of the flat isn't.

[Drew Franklin]

They say that they're supposed to taste better. They're juicier.

[Ryan Lemond]

Cuz they're a little juicier. I. I'd probably lean drums but like I said, I know people that will buy.

[Matt Jones]

What are you drums or flats? Drums. Yeah. Cuz I like the grizzle. No, I mean the, the. The fry. Whatever the st. You know, the, the stuff. Right.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, they're just easier to eat. You can hold the drumstick on the end and the flat. You got to dig in there and dig it out your tongue.

[Matt Jones]

I put online I was amazed how many people are. Are pro flats.

[Ryan Lemond]

Some people don't like the. There's can be a lot more chicken on the drumstick to want the skin and maybe.

[Matt Jones]

But the skin's better than chicken if we're being honest. It's not good for you but it's.

[Ryan Lemond]

I know.

[Matt Jones]

I'm with you. All right, who's up next?

[Ryan Lemond]

Chris is up next.

[Matt Jones]

Chris. Go ahead, Chris.

[Caller]

Yeah. I personally don't talk about the quarterbacks. I don't think either quarterback we have can succeed in this offensive coordinator's scheme. I don't know if there's a quarterback in the country that could succeed in his scheme. I would recommend put Kendrick Law back there in the Wildcat and see what happens.

[Matt Jones]

You're already putting us in the Wildcat. We're one game into it. How are we already in the Wildcat?

[Caller]

Because if Butler can't beat out the quarterback we've got in there right now, he can't play in this system either. I just don't like the oc. I don't think he has any direction. I think he's like a cat chasing his tail. And I don't think we're ever going to succeed with him back there. And that's just my personal opinion. So why not put it in the playmaker's hand? At least we have a shot every play. It's not going to be a 10 second slow developing running play that's going to lead to a safety for goodness sakes.

[Matt Jones]

Appreciate the call. Well, we know where you stand. You know, I'm not saying putting Kendrick Law as the Wildcat quarterback, but I do worry. I mean I Bush Hampden system does. I don't get it. I mean I hope to be. I hope to be proven, if not wrong at least to have my mind sort of proven in that. But I haven't seen seen anything yet in his year in a game that makes me understand, even understand what he's trying to do. Like go back to Skangarell. It didn't work, but I at least knew what he was trying to do. I can't figure out what Bush is trying to do. No.

And I think it's completely fair to have those questions. I think most fans do. Kendrick Law QUARTERBACK think we might be a little early on going that far into it, but I looking at last Saturday, I just felt like the only time they'd throw is like they were going deep. I didn't go to the middle of the field much and I thought they were going to do whatever it took to get Kendrick Law the I thought we would see him on screens, all kinds of motions and felt like he was a complete non factor. We mentioned like one target.

[Matt Jones]

I mean they spent multiple millions of dollars on the wide receivers and really didn't do anything to get them involved in the game. That's the part that's hard for me to understand. You spend this money on these playmakers. You know, I'm sure Macklin was not cheap to have come back. Kendrick Law lot of schools wanted him. So you've got to assume they spent some money and then like you would think getting the ball like you did that for a reason. You want them to have the ball.

[Drew Franklin]

You guys said something yesterday that I heard a couple times that really they were having a hard time getting open that Toledo's DBs were, you know, closing them down. Well, if we can't get open against Toledo db, even though they may be NFL caliber guys, what are we gonna do? The rescue SEC schedule law's not a.

[Ryan Lemond]

Great route runner as it is. You get him open and just get him the ball, watch him work. I feel like they did none of that. He was a little hard in camp. Maybe he's a little late getting, getting caught back up. But I expected a lot more.

[Matt Jones]

I had to say I had somebody who watched the game who really follows football tell me they broke it down and said we only ran 18 plays in the game. Like there were only 18 different plays. And even when it looked it was sometimes it was just a play flip go right instead of left. They said that's one of two things. Either we don't have a team that can execute more or less. Oh we or we were holding stuff back. My inclination is it's hard for us to hold stuff back when we could have lost the game. But maybe, you know, what do you think when you hear it real quick, only 18 plays.

[Drew Franklin]

I think Stoops would like to hold, hold a little bit back.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I hope you're right about that. We will take a break and come back. We got an announcement here in just a second hour. Number two coming back on Kentucky Sports Radio.
