Matt (3:14)

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live in Columbia, Kentucky in Adair County, Don Franklin Ford. Give me some Dare County. By the way, Don Franklin Ford, I've got these little things to read. How about this one? Are you ready for rough stuff?

Shannon (3:29)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ryan Lemon (3:32)

Pow chick a pow pow.

Drew (3:33)

All right.

Shannon (3:34)

All right.

Ryan Lemon (3:35)

Is that what you mean?

Matt (3:36)

You said hot young running back too easily. Blue collar dollars meet off road grit at the Franklin Truck league. Only at Don Franklin Auto. You're pretty good at this usually. Tell me people from Adair County, Columbia, athletes or. Or citizens.

Ryan Lemon (3:51)

Oh, the best athlete I can think of is Steve Hamilton. Ended up pitching for the New York Yankees. I know him when he was head baseball coach at Morehead State, if I'm not mistaken. Well, they had Connor Lloyd. He just took the sweet six, Derek county, the sweet sixteen. He's playing now at South Alabama, I think right now. And if. If is Lance Burton.

Drew (4:10)

Yeah, I was going to add him. Lance Burton, the magician? Yeah.

Matt (4:13)

Really? I didn't know that. Well, good.

Shannon (4:17)

He practices magic right outside of Columbia.

Ryan Lemon (4:20)

Maybe over Lindsay Wilson College.

NordicTrack Announcer (4:21)

Okay.

Shannon (4:22)

Wow.

Matt (4:22)

Well, good. All right.

Ryan Lemon (4:23)

I have of course, famous golfer Chase Carpenter's here, so.

Shannon (4:25)

Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

Matt (4:26)

Y.

Drew (4:27)

Who.

Matt (4:28)

Who I think can shoot 85 at any given point. All right, so let's talk for a second a couple non sports stories. Shannon, I'll start with you. Have you heard the controversy about Campbell soup? No. How many of you all have ever had a can of Campbell soup?

Ryan Lemon (4:41)

Oh my.

Matt (4:42)

Yeah, everybody has.

Ryan Lemon (4:44)

Yeah.

Matt (4:44)

The Campbell Soup CEO is under fire. Would you like to know why?

Shannon (4:49)

Yes.

Matt (4:49)

He was recorded on tape by one of his employees who was suing him for something. Recorded saying two things. One, everybody that eats Campbell's soup is poor. And then number two, saying I would never eat our. I would never eat our chicken. It comes from a 3D printer.

Shannon (5:09)

Oh, my gosh. Well, this may be the last time I read Campbell's chicken noodle soup.

Ryan Lemon (5:14)

3D printer.

Matt (5:17)

Vice. It was somebody high up. It was not I may be wrong about CEO. Maybe it was executive vice president, somebody high up, so she sued the company for something else. But as the evidence that came out, Campbell Soup released a statement that said if that's true, if that's real, it's obviously not what. It's not what we think. I would hope it's not what you think. And. But he's still not been fired yet. The person that did it. What do you think about. First of all, do you agree with his characterization of Campbell Soup? It's chicken and. And its people.

Shannon (5:50)

And it's 3D printed is the biggest thing that came from that.

Matt (5:53)

What does that even mean? How do you 3D print?

Shannon (5:55)

I didn't know you could 3D print food. Is this something that on that?

Matt (5:59)

I hope not.

Shannon (6:00)

Maybe it's not even really food. I think that's the last time I probably eat that. I can't believe this guy still has a job. And why would you say that out loud?

Matt (6:06)

You know, you could think like a one on one.

Ryan Lemon (6:08)

I don't care.

Shannon (6:09)

He still said it out loud to somebody. You know, that it could be recorded. That was a really stupid move, Ryan.

Ryan Lemon (6:14)

I mean, growing up when you got sick, you had a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup. It was kind of all of our childhood growing up. And for this guy to be a vice president or CEO, whatever, he's representing that company. I don't care if you're in a one on one conversation. You still got to believe.

Matt (6:28)

Remember now it is alleged. He said with the tape. She. She brought it up, said there's apparel tape.

Ryan Lemon (6:34)

Wow.

Matt (6:34)

Yeah. But so I mean, it is worth noting. I'm just telling you the story. I. I didn't hear it.

Ryan Lemon (6:38)

Tape don't lie.

Matt (6:40)

Well, I mean that's. Be careful saying that as we get into the AI world.

Shannon (6:44)

But we're guaranteed humans. I heard the promo today.

Matt (6:47)

Yes.

Drew (6:48)

I disagree with their product is for pores. I think everyone has had Campbell soup.

Matt (6:52)

I like Campbell super did. Until the. Until I thought their chicken may be from a printer.

Drew (6:56)

That being said as much as I love that chicken noodle soup, I've always wondered what mystery meat I'm eating when I have that. That is not chicken.

Shannon (7:02)

Outside of chicken noodle soup, what is it like cream of mushroom they had.

Matt (7:05)

That's good.

Ryan Lemon (7:06)

Tomato.

Drew (7:07)

Tomato.

Shannon (7:08)

But you know, chicken noodle was the. The only one I ever really had.

Matt (7:11)

Speaking of things in cans, I am told that yesterday at the I heart Thanksgiving lunch, which I had to miss due to. Due to the funeral, I Am told that Shannon, for the potluck, brought one can of unopened green beans.

Drew (7:31)

That's true.

Shannon (7:32)

That's a lot more effort than I usually put into it. Usually, I only bring my appetite.

Matt (7:37)

You didn't even open the can. Well, did you just set the can on the table?

Shannon (7:42)

That way, you know it's a canned good. They said bring a can good, and you can. You can eat at the I heart.

Matt (7:48)

Oh, so the canned good was for, like, charity? It wasn't. Well, actual eat. It wasn't for the people.

Shannon (7:54)

It was for the people. I just.

Matt (7:55)

Here's the thing.

Shannon (7:56)

They had two other dishes full of green beans, and I said, why do you need my green beans? We already have two dishes of green beans.

Matt (8:01)

But you know that. You didn't know that before you got there?

Shannon (8:04)

No, but I just wanted to show that there was an effort there, that I did bring something.

Matt (8:08)

But is that really an effort to bring just a unopened.

Shannon (8:12)

Look, look, mister, don't act like you've never showed up to Thanksgiving dinner. And you didn't bring anything either in years past. I know you didn't.

Matt (8:18)

But see, I would argue that bringing nothing, Drew, is better than bringing an unopened. Like a. Literally a can green. What are they supposed to even do with it?

Shannon (8:26)

Well, there was no can opener. It's not my fault. Somebody had a can opener. I could open them up, put them in the microwave. Boom, we got green beans.

Drew (8:33)

I with you. If you don't bring anything, you can act surprised that it's going on.

Matt (8:37)

Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to bring something. You all mind?

Drew (8:39)

I'm sorry. Do you mind if I partake? But you actually, like, thought it out.

Shannon (8:42)

And still you don't want to eat anything. I cook. I can promise you that. I was actually doing everybody a favor. You should be thanking me. I'm really a hero.

Drew (8:50)

People that worked hard and brought dishes.

Matt (8:52)

I genuinely thought in all my days of hearing potluck meals, Ryan, bringing an unopened can of green beans was the worst contribution I've ever heard.

Ryan Lemon (9:01)

It was.

Shannon (9:02)

It was pot bad luck for them. They didn't get any green beans for me.

Ryan Lemon (9:05)

And we can all can visualize it. Shannon walking down the hallway. All right, I got my side dish. Put it on the table.

Matt (9:10)

Load me up.

Ryan Lemon (9:11)

Where's my plate?

Shannon (9:11)

It's all good.

Ryan Lemon (9:12)

I'm good.

Drew (9:12)

We had.

Shannon (9:13)

We had plenty of food. Like, there was so many leftovers. Why contribute to more food being thrown away?

Drew (9:18)

Did you let someone else do it?

Matt (9:19)

Did you take the can home?

Shannon (9:21)

No, it's still there.

Matt (9:21)

So now somebody has to deal with it.

Shannon (9:23)

It's probably right there with Rick. Rick, is that can still there?

Matt (9:27)

Still right here.

Shannon (9:30)

So if you get hungry, Rick, there's.

Drew (9:31)

Some green beans.

Ryan Lemon (9:34)

Opener with me. That's your problem.

Matt (9:36)

Rick, got a curiosity. What did you bring to the meal?

Ryan Lemon (9:40)

I wasn't able to make it, so.

Shannon (9:41)

I didn't bring anything.

Matt (9:42)

Okay. That's better contribution than what Shannon. Than what Shannon did. Second, did you hear about what happened, Ryan, at Arizona State University last weekend?

Ryan Lemon (9:54)

Tell me about it.

Matt (9:56)

So they went to a bar at Arizona State that is known for letting in underage kids, like kids under 21 to be able to drink. And the police showed up. And, you know, sometimes they'll do this to, like, take the fake IDs or whatever. The Tempe, Arizona police went further. They arrested 249 students at once for. For drinking underage. There are great pictures online of all of these students just sitting there crying. They end up releasing all of them, but they all got a. They all got booked. I think they got processed and arrested. I don't know if they just, like, brought buses and took them all to. I. I don't know how literally they got the. All of them to the. To the thing, but they essentially arrested the entire bar. The bar owner gave a statement where he was like, this is ridiculous. How am I supposed to keep this bar open if people know that 250 people get arrested? And my answer to him would be, don't let in 250 people who. Who are underage. But what do you make of 250 people being arrested at the same bar at the same time for underage drinking?

Ryan Lemon (11:06)

You know, there's always that one bar you kind of sneak in, but somebody to let 250 people in in one night. The bouncer, Whoever's checking those IDs must be blind. He's not doing his job out there. Well, I blame him.

Matt (11:17)

Or they don't even try. But what do you. What do you think of that?

Drew (11:19)

I saw the video. It's madness how they just do that big bust and get everybody.

Matt (11:24)

Did you see how. I never saw. How did they take them to the.

Drew (11:26)

J. Yeah, I saw a lot of guys with, like, the. The zip ties. I guess it was just going around and slapping them on.

Ryan Lemon (11:31)

Everybody in the back of the paddy wagon, like, let's go.

Shannon (11:35)

How do you keep that bar open? I mean, it has to shut down.

Matt (11:38)

Yeah, 249 is a lot. I mean, that's.

Shannon (11:41)

Yeah. It's one thing to let one or two slide through.

Matt (11:43)

Yeah, that's a lot. Well, I do think he will have a hard time getting the crowd going forward. Who's up next?

Ryan Lemon (11:49)

Johnny Versace is up next.

Matt (11:50)

Johnny Versace. It's Kentucky Louisville week. I expected to hear from you. What's up?

Caller (11:56)

You know, Matt, Vince Merrill is dead to me.

Matt (12:01)

Hey, what do you mean he's dead to you? He's like, he gave a lot of years here. Are you like, are you completely just. He's done.

Caller (12:09)

Yeah.

Drew (12:09)

You can't.

Caller (12:10)

You can't go to Louisville.

Matt (12:11)

I'm.

Caller (12:11)

What I'm here to tell you is Stoops is going into that half empty pink seat Hellscape on Saturday and put Braum firmly on the. On the hot seat.

Matt (12:24)

Well, that's a good question, Johnny, about attendance. I mean, I actually think this might be a sad attendance at noon. Neither team's fan base really wants to go. You know, I'm with you. I actually think it could be bad. Appreciate the call. They, you know, Brahm, I'm not. I don't think Brahms on the hot seat, Ryan. But like if he were to lose this game and they finished the season with four straight losses and all their team quits, it would not be good for Jeffrey.

Ryan Lemon (12:53)

Yeah, they've lost three in a row. And you're right. If they show up and quit and don't give effort, kind of like what we did last year to them, his name is still out there for like Penn State, like some other jobs. He may lose that opportunity.

Matt (13:03)

And one of their top recruits is from the city of Louisville. Grew up a Louisville fan from St. X and just decommitted from the school from the city of Louisville, which, you know, Drew, that's kind of. That's kind of wild.

Drew (13:19)

Yeah. Mary Flipmas on that commitment. His parents were Louisville season ticket holders for a long time. Might still be. So that's a tough look for him. People are mad when he went and got Miller Moss. There are a lot of people like, this guy's not good. Why are we doing this? I guess he thought he could turn him into something that's been a big disappointment. I'm not too in tune with how Louisville fans feel, but it seems like they're really starting to turn a little bit or sour on Braum at least for a year.

Matt (13:42)

Can we talk about something, Ryan, that I just want to throw out there?

Ryan Lemon (13:47)

Throw it.

Matt (13:49)

You know, I. I don't want to be no bad mojo. It's Louisville week. But this is the Last show we're doing before the game on Saturday until the pregame show. I'm hearing maybe through the grapevine that there were some people that didn't love Mark Stoops coming out and saying Cutter Bowley's 100% pass. I mean, I think that. I think he was. Is very, very likely back, but maybe some people didn't like putting those words into his mouth. And I think it's very interesting that yesterday they did the offensive players press conference before the Louisville game, and virtually every time they do one of these, understandably, the quarterback speaks. The quarterback was not brought out yesterday for the Kentucky Louisville pregame offensive players press conference. You think there's anything to my. The rumblings?

Ryan Lemon (14:44)

I. We said this on the show. I think it was really unfair to Cutter, kind of throw him under the bus like that. So now all the pressure's on him. If something happens and maybe he doesn't come back, I mean, we're just going to.

Matt (14:55)

Well, I mean, I think he's going to be back, but if he doesn't come back, Drew.

Ryan Lemon (15:01)

Yep.

Matt (15:02)

Mark Stoops really just threw him under the bus by saying that because it's going to look like he changed even though he didn't say anything. I think that was a huge mistake. And I'm going to tell you, whatever happens, that's why he wasn't at that press conference.

Drew (15:17)

Oh, definitely.

Matt (15:18)

And. And I like Mark. That was that. He shouldn't have done that, in my opinion. What do you think? Yeah.

Drew (15:26)

And yesterday should have been the day for Bowley, Was it not? Last year, his first career start was Louisville. He's gone by halftime, had his worst game ever. I mean, this is a redemption week for him. He's the reason, whatever you think of the year, he's the reason at least flipped to be somewhat positive the last few weeks. I mean, that should have been the guy at the podium yesterday, but it's obvious that that rattled some. Some feathers one way or another.

Matt (15:46)

And if Cutter Bowley had said, shannon, I'm coming back, feel free to say it, Coach, then that's fine. Right. And. And I guess there's a chance he said that, but I kind of heard maybe that's not what happened. That, you know, and if it's not what happened, if you were his parents or you were him, would you be frustrated?

Shannon (16:07)

Oh, yeah. If I didn't say that to him. And not only say it to him, but let's say. Let's say he did say, yeah, I'm coming back, but say, hey, I don't want you to say that publicly yet. And then Stoops did. That's a bad look. So. Yeah, I don't really know what you gain if you're Mark Stoops and saying that Cutter.

Matt (16:21)

Well, I know what you gain. You get people off your back for a minute.

Ryan Lemon (16:23)

That's what it was about.

Shannon (16:24)

Yeah.

Matt (16:25)

I mean, that's why I did it. Yeah, I'm sure that's why I did it.

Shannon (16:28)

Either way. Well, it's still a bad look if you're doing it just for that. If you're using. Using another player to get people off your back, that's still a bad look, I think.

Matt (16:35)

I totally agree. But, Ryan, don't you think that's probably why he did it?

Ryan Lemon (16:38)

I think that's exactly why he did it. Look, I'm. My quarterback is coming back. He said he was going to, you know, come back for another year, so I am, too.

Shannon (16:44)

We don't know if he's kept. We don't know if Stoops is coming back next year.

Drew (16:47)

And here.

Matt (16:47)

Well, I mean, Stoops may know or may think.

Shannon (16:51)

Well, yeah, he may think.

Ryan Lemon (16:52)

He knows.

Shannon (16:53)

May not be his decision.

Ryan Lemon (16:54)

If you're.

Drew (16:55)

Stoops needs Bowley back. If he's back.

Ryan Lemon (16:56)

If you're Cutter and you're meeting with your head coach the week before the Louisville game, what are you going to say when he has to talk? You guys are talking like, no, coach. I'm thinking about exploring my options after next year.

Matt (17:05)

I would say this the worst possible scenario for UK football I could imagine is Mark Stoops coming back and Cutter Bowley transfer. That would be the worst. Mark Stoops coming back with Cutter Bowley. It is what it is. Some of us think that should happen. Some of us should. Cutter Bowley come back. No Mark Stoops or no Cutter or no Mark Stoops. All of those can work. But Mark coming back with no Cutter Drew, this fan base will be not happy.

Drew (17:41)

And you gotta think, you know, I don't love the young offense as much as Ryan. I'm not going to call him young and hot and start sweating talking about him here, even though you are cooking there for a minute. But a lot of those guys that we like that are a big part of the future are bowling guys. Gilmore, Rodriguez. Oh, and I kind of see it as if he comes back, they come back. But if he were to leave, leave.

Matt (17:58)

There'S a little one and unknown. There's a lot of people that tell you Willie Rodriguez, Cutter Bowley are like whatever happens, they're doing it together. And so that's that's a big one.

Drew (18:08)

That's how it was with the three of them in high school. Were very close before they even got to campus.

Matt (18:12)

Bourbon lovers. You don't want to miss the Commonwealth Causes December bourbon raffle December 18th. Twenty thousand dollar lineup Drew Pappy Van Winkle Vertical Buffalo Trace Old fashioned copper vintage 2006 bottle.

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live. Don Franklin Auto 859-280-2287. Let's go through a couple scheduled things real quick. Pregame show Today starts at 4:30 Eastern. Game is at 7 o'.

Ryan Lemon (21:33)

Clock.

Matt (21:34)

It'll be at KS Bar. Come on out and join us before the game. You can come watch the game at the bar as well. If you got your family home from Thanksgiving, you can get out of the house for a little bit. Go watch the game. I'll have some tickets to give away during the pregame show as well. And then fast forward to Saturday. Our pregame show will be at 9am okay. For Kentucky, Louisville. So it'll be at 9am so keep that in mind for Saturday. I'm gonna have you all do the legal question. Are you ready? This is not what the law is. What would it be if you could decide it? Okay.

Ryan Lemon (22:08)

Courts in session.

Matt (22:09)

There's an election in Tennessee next week for Congress. It's next Tuesday. Okay. And the election is in a district that's very pro Trump. But for whatever reason, this election's gonna be close. It's a special election for Congress, so both sides are really mobilizing for it. The the Republican candidate, one of the groups supporting him sent out election flyers this week that set that acted like they were for the Democrat say, but said go vote and then gave a date to a week later. So the election was like it's gonna be like the fourth. And it said if you want to vote for whatever the Democrats name was, come vote on the 11th. Now here's my question for you. It is unclear. I won't go into law, but it's unclear whether that's legal. It's not certain that it's illegal, but it's also not certain that it's legal. So here's my. My question for you is if you were in charge, do you think sending out. Intentionally sending out the wrong date to vote and acting like it was your opponent that did it should be legal? Shannon.

Shannon (23:26)

Yeah, it should be legal. You should be able to do that. That's called gamesmanship. If you don't know when election day is, that is on you for being a bad citizen. You should know when election day is. You know, you don't go vote on the 11th for election day, so it should be legal.

Matt (23:39)

Okay. Do you remember when we talked to Ryan before every election about who he's going to vote for?

Ryan (23:44)

Yeah.

Matt (23:45)

You would probably believe that flyer, wouldn't you?

Ryan Lemon (23:47)

A lot of things. I vote on what I get in the mail and what sign I see out in the yard. So if I get something in the mail tells me it's on 11th, I think it's on the 11th.

Shannon (23:56)

Then you're the target demo.

Matt (23:57)

No, no, this is the target demo right here. Yeah.

Shannon (24:02)

A bunch of buffoons.

Ryan Lemon (24:04)

So that's why I'm saying that's election fraud. They're trying to fraudulently, you know, create a situation where I think it's the wrong date. That's fraud.

Matt (24:11)

Okay, so Shannon is legal.

Shannon (24:14)

Make it legal.

Matt (24:15)

Ryan is illegal. So I will let the final vote come to Frank. Do. Is this legal or illegal?

Drew (24:22)

We don't need Frank. Drew, answer this one. This is easy. I'm with Shannon. If you can't figure out election day on your own, I'd rather you not vote anyway.

Matt (24:28)

Yeah.

Drew (24:29)

Like, if you're falling for a flyer, I mean, that's on you. So I think it's a great tactic, actually.

Matt (24:34)

All right, so I will. I. I lean towards you all with one exception. I think what would make it make me.

Ryan Lemon (24:43)

Me.

Matt (24:43)

Make it illegal is that he acted like the other guy said it. Right? Like, if he just. So he. He literally acted like he was the other person. And that's the part I don't like. Like telling the wrong date. I'm kind of with you.

Shannon (24:55)

Yeah.

Matt (24:56)

If you don't know what the date is, yeah. That's on you. But to act like. Like for me to go, ryan Lemon says it's this date, and it's me that's saying it. That's the part that I think is kind of fraudulent.

Shannon (25:07)

So the person I potentially could vote for doesn't even know the election date in this.

Matt (25:12)

And you're basically lying, and you're basically. So I would say now, if you just sent it generically and just said, remember to go vote and you had that date, then I'm fine with it.

Shannon (25:21)

We live in a world of AI where you gotta, like, you know, make sure that, you know it's legit when you look at something and that's your responsibility.

Matt (25:28)

Literally saw the story. This was. The person that I thought this was would happen to is you.

Ryan Lemon (25:34)

I make up my mind who I'm voting for as I drive to the polling place.

Matt (25:37)

You acknowledge it's how many signs you see.

Shannon (25:40)

Yeah, but you wouldn't question why you're voting a week later, after election day.

Ryan Lemon (25:44)

I guess I would pull up when nothing's there. I think I might realize, wait, well.

Matt (25:48)

But I mean, the election would have finished a week before. Presumably you would have seen that it was over.

Drew (25:52)

Well, he would have heard on the pre show who won.

Matt (25:58)

Whoa. You like that?

Ryan Lemon (25:59)

Good.

Matt (25:59)

Who's up next? Go ahead, Seth.

Caller (26:04)

Hey, guys. Hey, guys. How you doing?

Matt (26:08)

Yeah, don't ask. Remember, we just. Just go. Yes.

Caller (26:12)

Okay. My thing you guys were talking about earlier about, like, the power forward position for basketball Cam Williams. I think Andre Yitzch needs to get more run at that spot. And then what do you think?

Matt (26:26)

What do you think about that? Go ahead, finish what you're saying.

Caller (26:30)

Yeah. And also, you guys were talking about Jaden Clayton and Jalen Lowe would help with some of our issues. Jalen Lowe last year was a top 10 point guard last year when it came to pick and rolls. And we, like, we ran so many pick and rolls, and we need to get back to some of the zoom action.

Matt (26:48)

You don't have to convince me on Jalen Lowe. I mean, to me, if Jalen Lowe doesn't come back, I mean, I'm going to enjoy the season and hope the good things happen. But my chances of this being a special year go way down if we lose Jalen Lowe. What about yellow Vic at the 4? Drew, I mean, appreciate the call. What about yellow Vich at the 4?

Drew (27:05)

I've been predicting for two weeks his breakthrough is coming. I'm a little behind, but I want to see a lot more of him. And the caller said he needs to get more run. I think he's running a lot in practice. He was touching the top of the building when we were at both practices. Pope called him out Saturday by name, said he's going to be running in practice. So he's still getting the hang of a lot of things. He was interviewed yesterday and said, I'm literally Learning and getting better each day as he's getting acclimated, everything. So I'm still counting on there being more there, and tonight's a good night to give him an opportunity.

Matt (27:32)

Here's what I'm excited about. Yellow Bitch. When I watch Big Z play. And, I mean, it's just natural we compare him because same country, right. I never really felt like Big Z was ever going to be 100% comfortable on the court. And even now at Illinois, he's not starting like, it's. But Yellow Bitch, you can see it, right? Like, he can. He can slide his feet. You can see him playing defense at this level and not looking out of place. So I do think that's a possibility. It can work.

Ryan Lemon (27:57)

He's much better on the defensive end, I think, than most of us thought. He was guarding the one a couple times and did a good job staying in front of the guy.

Matt (28:03)

He may not shoot as well as, say, Big Z did, but in terms of being able to play on defense, I actually think he's got a lot more potential in that regard. We'll take a break and be right back here at Don Franklin in Columbia's ksr. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here at Don Franklin Ford in Columbia. Don Franklin, as I said, if you buy a vehicle here at Don Franklin Columbia today, two years of free maintenance today, if you do it. So any of you here or if you're in the area, come on and join us. I have to tell you how much I love Ryan Lemon. This is it. This is an example why I love Ryan Lemon. We're sitting there watching the game last night at the bar, and Ryan Lemon goes. He shows me his phone, and he goes, look who just texted me. And so, of course, I would think it would be, like, a person, you know, somebody knows. And it was this text that said, hi, I'm Senator Mark Kelly, blah, blah, blah, Donald Trump's coming after me. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, send money here. But the way Ryan said it acted like he thought he had literally just texted, like, his senator in Arizona.

Shannon (29:13)

Yeah.

Matt (29:13)

Like, hey, you know who I should ask for help? Ryan Lemon. And then, so you just came in here this morning, and he just looked at me, and he goes, you know that guy that texted me? He was on Jimmy Kimmel last night. I was like, ryan, it's like the head news story in America right now. Like, it's the number one news story. Why are you so surprised? And I love that about you. I love this sort of your head is like, this guy Texted me and now he's on tv. I like that about you. You just. You're so happy. I like that. Makes me happy.

Ryan Lemon (29:49)

I had never heard of this guy. I knew nothing about the story. After I get the text you're telling me about him. He's on Jimmy Kimmel. It's the lead news story this morning on all the news reports. Like, I never heard of this guy like you.

Shannon (30:01)

Yeah.

Ryan Lemon (30:01)

You may send me another text today.

Shannon (30:03)

Definitely was not a bot or anything.

Matt (30:05)

It was definitely not a generic text. This. He.

Shannon (30:08)

He.

Ryan Lemon (30:09)

Way too many words in that text, though. There was a lot of words. I didn't get through all.

Shannon (30:12)

Did you donate?

Ryan Lemon (30:13)

Oh, no.

Shannon (30:13)

Oh, okay.

Drew (30:15)

I saw you streamed a game or anything.

Matt (30:16)

Question if he had streamed a game.

Ryan Lemon (30:21)

I'm donating.

Matt (30:24)

Saturday. Is Lane Kiffin a Ole Miss Rebel? Is he an LSU Tiger or is he a Florida Gator Ole Miss Rebel?

Shannon (30:33)

I think he stays where he's at right there. I think that's a good spot where it's not too much pressure, but it's still a good program. I think he stays where he is.

Matt (30:39)

True.

Drew (30:40)

I'm really torn. I could see him staying, but LSU has put so much money out there. I will lean lsu, but if I were him, I would really consider staying put. Just because the expectations at each place.

Ryan Lemon (30:51)

Eileen, LSU to 15 million. They just recently won a national title. You got a chance to win one when you go over there. I don't know if they can get over the hump at Ole Miss. He's got him in the playoffs, but can you win a national title? He can at lsu. I think he's going there.

Matt (31:05)

I think he's going to lsu, too. I think if he was. If he was going to stay, I think the comments from the ad about let's get through the egg bowl, etc. So. All right, so let's say the three of us are correct and he goes to lsu. Does he coach Ole Miss through the playoff?

Shannon (31:22)

I would hope so. I mean. Yeah.

Matt (31:24)

Would you want him.

Shannon (31:25)

Yeah, he's still the guy who got you there.

Matt (31:27)

Okay, so you would want him to coach your team all the way through the play?

Shannon (31:30)

Yes.

Matt (31:30)

Okay. What about.

Drew (31:31)

Definitely he can't go to LSU to win a national championship when he's literally coaching for a national championship now. I mean, it's unlikely, but he could have one in a couple months at Ole Miss. So he. He couldn't leave them in the playoff if they're not. If they fall out of the playoff and they're just in a regular bowl, maybe, but not as long as they.

Matt (31:44)

Beat Mississippi State, though. They're going to be in the playoff, I think.

Drew (31:46)

Can't walk away from the opportunity to win one there.

Ryan Lemon (31:48)

Drew's exactly right. You got to see this through. It's going to be tough because, like, he's going to be trying to recruit while at lsu. He may have a lot of sleepless nights, but it's. You made the bed, man. Now you got to lay in it.

Matt (31:58)

Right now. It's projected that Ole Miss would host a playoff game at in Oxford when they announce his name if he is going to lsu. Will the crowd cheer if hosts a playoff game after he's already announced he's going to lsu?

Shannon (32:17)

That's a great question. And again, another awkward situation. I could see there being a good mix of both. I think some fans would cheer him because they appreciate the fact that they're in the playoffs.

Matt (32:26)

First time they've been in this situation since 1960 or something.

Shannon (32:30)

I could also see the other end of the spectrum where there's fans that are upset that he's leaving.

Matt (32:34)

Would you cheer him if you were there? Like, if this situation. Would you go, all right, let's go?

Shannon (32:39)

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

Matt (32:41)

Mark Stoops gets us to a playoff game, but announces before the game he's going to go coach at Ohio State next year. Are you cheering?

Shannon (32:48)

Absolutely.

Drew (32:49)

Yeah, definitely. They got to cheer for him.

Matt (32:51)

I mean, if they're Arkansas. We didn't cheer for Cal then.

Shannon (32:55)

Yeah, but he lost the St. Peters in Oakland first round. Yeah.

Matt (32:58)

In fact, he won us a national championship.

Shannon (33:00)

Yeah, we forgot about that. It was a long time ago.

Matt (33:02)

He didn't leave.

Drew (33:03)

Leave actively while it's in front of him.

Matt (33:05)

That's true. He didn't leave.

Drew (33:06)

You still have the goal in front of you.

Matt (33:07)

He didn't leave, like, right after he won a national championship. This is like the peak of playing Kiffin.

Drew (33:12)

He left off for that after that awkward Mitch Barnhart interview, which is also on my list.

Matt (33:16)

Yeah.

Ryan Lemon (33:16)

If our football coach gets us to the playoffs, he can go wherever he wants. And I want to pat him on the back and kiss him on the cheek and say, good luck. Go out there. Go do it.

Matt (33:25)

All right. So. So, so you all. We think the lsu. You think Ole Miss.

Shannon (33:31)

Yes.

Ryan (33:31)

Yeah.

Matt (33:32)

Well, we'll find out who's next.

Ryan Lemon (33:33)

Carl is up next.

Matt (33:35)

Carl. Go ahead, Carl.

Caller (33:37)

Yeah, Matt, are you aware that Jesse Jane robbed the bank to Columbia there in. On the square in Columbia?

Matt (33:45)

I actually had heard that before one of the trips here. I Think someone told me that.

Drew (33:52)

Yeah.

Caller (33:54)

The bank ain't no longer there, but Jesse shot a hole in the wall, and for years, nobody passed that hole. I don't want it. That.

Matt (34:02)

That's where I remember. I do remember that. It's. It's allegedly they kept that hole for a while. That sounds like a wives tale, but I'll. I'll believe it.

Caller (34:12)

Yeah, well, I. I've seen the hole years ago, but I don't know about now whether it's still there or not.

Matt (34:17)

Did you. All right, well, if you say so. I'm not gonna question you.

Caller (34:23)

All right.

Drew (34:24)

Thank you.

Matt (34:26)

All right. There you go.

Shannon (34:27)

I want to tell you about the hole.

Matt (34:28)

Yeah, listen, it's strange that we would like those facts, although I do think. I feel like we talk about this with Abraham Lincoln. There's, like, 20 towns in this state that claim something about Abraham Lincoln. And then there's like 150 cities or maybe 200 around America that claim Jesse James. Right. Something in their town. I mean, these. These people act like these are very.

Shannon (34:50)

Prolific, and it seems like for a criminal, people seem to really love Jesse James. I mean, he shot up a bank, and we're gonna keep the whole. We don't want to patch the whole up because it's Jesse James.

Matt (34:59)

But there is weird. Like, sometimes in America, criminals get. I mean, think about the dude up in New York, the Luigi guy. Like it. Like, I mean, he did something awful, yet there's people who celebrate him. Like, I mean, I. You know, sometimes I guess people just do that.

Ryan Lemon (35:15)

I think Abraham Lincoln and Jesse James must have been in every single town in this state.

Drew (35:19)

State.

Ryan Lemon (35:19)

One did good, one did bad. Then they go to the next state. It seems like they're all over the place.

Matt (35:22)

I think I just said that. Yeah. I mean, almost the exact. Almost the exact same thing.

Drew (35:33)

Do you think the people that were shot at are proud that they're honoring the hole? Like, that could have killed me. And you're celebrating this.

Shannon (35:39)

Should we go find the hole after the show today?

Matt (35:41)

Yeah, that wouldn't be. I don't.

Drew (35:43)

Like, they probably didn't find it very funny.

Shannon (35:46)

Like, it could have been your stomach.

Matt (35:48)

Or your head if the city of Louisville made the, like, shots behind Craig.

Shannon (35:52)

Yeah, that's what I was saying. It's weird.

Matt (35:53)

I know Craig would be like, hang on.

Shannon (35:55)

He's like, yeah, let's not patch that up. Let's keep that there as a reminder.

Matt (35:59)

I think they should patch it up. Who's next?

Ryan Lemon (36:02)

Dylan is next.

Matt (36:03)

Dylan. Go ahead, Dylan.

Caller (36:06)

Hey, Matt. First time caller here who I got a question. So like, like the biggest thing for me about with Stoops is I, I feel like as a fan base we accept like mediocrity. So like what sets the rest of the SEC up for success is like they. Their expectations as a fan base as a whole. So like, my question is, do you think like, if we keep Stoops, do you think we ever have a chance at like, say, the playoffs or anything like that?

Matt (36:40)

That's a loaded question. So I appreciate the call. Do I think that we have a chance at the playoff if Mark Stoops were to come back? Probably not. But I also would say to you that there have been years in Mark Stoops tenure where we would have been a contender for the playoff. There would have been two years where Kentucky would have been either in the playoff or like one of the first couple teams left at. Do I have confidence that where the program is now and in the current structure that Mark would do that? Probably not. But I also don't think you can just act like he never would have had a shot at that. I also would say this about programs and I think this is really important. Ryan, you've heard me say this over and over. College football is a different sport today, completely different sport today than it was four years ago. Four years ago I would have looked at you and said Kentucky has no chance of ever being a contender. I said it for years. It's a different world now. It's a different world. With nil, it's like a salary cap in, in the NFL, if it was a free market, the Kansas City Chiefs could never be dominant. But in the NFL there's a salary cap cap. So with a salary cap, you can get a guy like Mahomes and the Chiefs can be good for 15 straight years. I think Kentucky football, do I think it has as good a chance as lsu, Alabama? Of course not. There's a reason Kiffin's considering leaving Ole Miss for lsu. But as Vandy and Indiana have shown us in this new world, we actually have a chance. And because we actually have a chance, then I think you have to pick a coach that you think will give you that chance. I'm not sure if Stoops is that guy, but my expectations, Ryan, of what can be done have changed here dramatically in the Nile era.

Ryan Lemon (38:41)

Yeah. At this point in time, our program is not anywhere close to making the playoffs.

Matt (38:44)

No.

Ryan Lemon (38:45)

But who's to say they can't get a Diego Pavio at one year and maybe ride him to a playoff run at some point. I mean, he got us to nine wins in a regular season twice. Who's to say you can't do it again with the right, with the right personnel?

Matt (38:57)

I mean, those two years we won nine games, Drew. There were games in those seasons where it could have gone the other way. And a 10 win Kentucky team has a really good chance at a playoff. So why not?

Drew (39:08)

You know, I'm with you, but Stoops is good years. We're in the recruit and develop era. Like our best players were freshmen that he developed. Some guys he took gambles on like a Lynn Bowden that, you know, had some issues in high school and he took a chance. But now the world has completely change and since it's changed, we are way behind and I don't think there's any ignoring that. The door opened for teams a couple years ago and Vandy and Indiana jumped right in and we kicked around and we're still not where we need to be. I mean, Stoops kind of said this week without saying it that the money ain't great. He said there's a lot of teams out there with money right now and we're not.

Matt (39:41)

He's right. Listen, I'm not saying Stoop's the right guy, but I do. This is the first time in my life that I felt like with the right guy you could build a program.

Ryan Lemon (39:50)

Yeah.

Matt (39:50)

Because I never felt that way before. I actually think that is potentially true now. But guess what? It's true for all these schools though.

Ryan Lemon (39:59)

Yeah.

Matt (39:59)

You know what I mean? Like it's it all the. Every school has a chance now. I actually think the NIL has done the exact opposite of what people thought. People thought it was going to separate the programs. I think it's actually brought them closer together. I think it's given people a chance that they wouldn't have had other.

Drew (44:02)

Shh.

Matt (44:02)

We're doing a show here.

Shannon (44:04)

You almost made it to the end without getting shushed.

Matt (44:06)

Well, tell him to. Bob, turn your voice down. Don't encourage him, sir. Bogo. B O g O at Cornbread Hemp. Okay, let's go. We're gonna pick our draftkings parlay. Ryan has been booted from the parlay for losing it yet again. We've won two. We would have won three if Ryan wasn't in it. So he's out. So Billy's gonna replace him. I'm gonna go first this week. I went last last week. I'm going to take Auburn or. Excuse me. Alabama is giving up six and a half at Auburn. But they got to make. They have to win to make the playoff. They're going to win. Auburn's going to quit halfway through the game. So I will take Alabama to cover the six and a half and win in the iron Bowl. Shannon.

Drew (44:50)

Auburn was my pick.

Shannon (44:51)

Yeah, that's the one I was gonna go with as well.

Matt (44:53)

So you were gonna go Alabama or Auburn?

Shannon (44:54)

Alabama. I'm with you. I think that's a good pick. All right, let me jump over to Clemson. South Carolina. I don't have the point spread. I think that was like three for Clemson.

Matt (45:04)

Three and a half for South Carolina.

Shannon (45:06)

Yeah. So give me. Give me Clemson on the road with the points.

Matt (45:10)

You like that one? Yeah. I don't know. All right, so you're taking clips in the COVID Three and a half on the road. Drew.

Drew (45:18)

Billy, do you have yours? I was going with Auburn.

Matt (45:20)

I do have mine. And this is the team that ruined.

Shannon (45:22)

The parlay last week. I'm taking pit at home plus seven versus Miami.

Matt (45:28)

I'm okay with that one. I'll tell you what. Since you don't even like my pick, let me switch. I'll. We'll get rid of Alabama, Auburn. I'll take big on Auburn. I'll take Tennessee to cover against Vegas. Tennessee's at home. I think they're going to cover against Vandy games in Rocky Top. Diego Pavia's mom got a little too saucy for mainstream America last week, so she'll take it down a notch. And I'm going to take Tennessee to cover against Vandy. So we will boot Auburn, Alabama out of it.

Drew (45:55)

I like that one. I'm going. I'm going with the dog and the egg Bowl. Mississippi State at home getting a touchdown. Lane Kiffin's got a foot out the door. Mississippi State's played a lot of close games. This is one of those rivalries where it doesn't matter what they've done all year, it is always a war. I will go with Mississippi State getting a touchdown at home on Thanksgiving.

Matt (46:15)

All right, thank you very much.

Drew (46:16)

No, wait, that's a. We're doing Saturday games. I'm sorry, that's. That's before. Let me do Missouri getting or two and a half. Missouri's a two and a half point favorite at Arkansas. I'll take Missouri.

Matt (46:25)

Drew did say before we started, Shannon, he had plenty of picks.

Drew (46:28)

Well, I had Auburn and then I had that one in Missouri's other ones. So I'm going to my third. They're. They're a 2 1/2 point favorite against Arkansas.

Matt (46:33)

I like Missouri. So I guess we have Missouri, pit, Tennessee and what was your Shannon?

Ryan (46:39)

Clemson.

Matt (46:39)

Clemson. All right, Missouri, pit, Tennessee and Clemson. Thank you very much, Billy. All right, let's talk about the Kentucky games. We'll start with the basketball game. First of all, the women's team plays tonight as well. I think they're at 6:30. Is that right? 5:30.

Ryan Lemon (46:54)

In Puerto Rico.

Matt (46:55)

They're in Puerto Rico. Somehow this game is not on television or it's on something called Flow Sports, which is not something I think I have, but they're playing against a Big Ten team playing against Maryland. So good luck to them. But let's go to the basketball game. What do you think the score is tonight?

Ryan Lemon (47:09)

John Pelford bringing Tennessee Tech in. I think the spread was like 37, and it may be worse than that. I think I'm going to go 104 to 65, 39 points.

Drew (47:20)

All right, the women are 530 on Flow Sports. For all you Flow Sports subscribers, Cats won't get to 100, but I'll say they get close. 96, 62. And Walker Horn gets his first career points tonight. He's been so close. I love. He does not. He'll shoot.

Matt (47:34)

You big Walker Horn fan. You gave. But you're the only person I've ever seen give Walker Horn applause. You just like to clap. Okay.

Drew (47:42)

Some people go in there and dribble and milk the clock. He's out there firing.

Matt (47:45)

Some people enjoy clapping. I like that. All right, go ahead.

Ryan Lemon (47:47)

All right.

Shannon (47:47)

I'm gonna say 84, 45 cats. Blowout.

Matt (47:50)

I'm gonna say 94, 57 cats. Let's go to the football big game. I mean, the post game show on Saturday. I don't know what I'm gonna be dealing with. We might be dealing with celebrating a big victory and a bowl game. We might be dealing with a close loss. We might be dealing with a fan base that is in revolt. I mean, there's absolutely no way what it's gonna to know what it's gonna be like Saturday. What do you think is going to happen there in Lowell?

Ryan Lemon (48:23)

I'll pick Kentucky a winner. I'm going to pick 24, 21. Come down to the final minutes. Maybe Callaway gets the big field. Go late in the game to put us ahead 24, 20.

Matt (48:32)

Do you, like, legitimately believe that? Is that a bullet? Okay.

Ryan Lemon (48:35)

Yeah.

Matt (48:36)

All right. What do you think?

Drew (48:37)

I wish I could see our availability report. That's going to tell the whole story. I'm going to assume more guys played than they did a week ago and that Louisville's in shambles. I'll say 3,000, 120. Kentucky.

Matt (48:49)

Oh, that's a big victory. Okay.

Drew (48:50)

I've already bet the alternate spread as high as it'll go.

Matt (48:52)

All right, good. Shannon.

Shannon (48:54)

I think it's going to be a good game and battle who. Who wants it more? I'm going to say Kentucky wins 23, 20.

Matt (49:00)

Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I think we could kill them and I think they could kill us. I think it's all going to be a mindset in terms of who wants to be on there, who wants to win it. I think the teams are relatively equal now that Louisville's lost a lot of guys. So. So I think it's just going to depends on how excited they are. I think whoever's winning at the end of the first quarter wins the game going away. So I'm going to say that's us. So I'm going to pick us to win 30 to 17, but I also think it could easily be 30 to 17 the other way. I think it's going to be completely whoever somebody's quitting in this game in the second half and the question is just which team quits and then I think that will be ultimately what decides it. Big weekend tonight. We'll have the pregame and post game. We will also have Saturday. Thank you folks here in Columbia very much for coming out. A great crowd right before Thanksgiving here at Don Franklin. We'll see you at 4:30 for the pregame. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

Matt (51:10)

What a matchup we got, y'.

Ryan Lemon (51:11)

All.

Matt (51:11)

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance, echo drum beat, everybody. Showing that school pride. A game like this, yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola.

Drew (51:27)

Ah.

Matt (51:27)

Crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there.

Ryan (51:31)

Mmm.

Matt (51:32)

Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere and an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo. No matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody, everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.
