Yeah, you're good. You're gonna single handedly move the stock up if you're not careful. 859-280-2287 Text Machine 772-77-45254 let's talk a little football for a second. Will Stein plays tonight against Indiana. Are you all. Are we quacking? Are you for the Ducks? I mean, we don't. Indiana is a great story, but it's still Indiana. I can't root for Indiana to win a national championship. I think that would hurt me if Indiana wins a national championship. They're fun to watch. A great story, but I cannot root for Indiana to win the national championship. What about you?
- [03:38]
Ryan Lemond
All my family and friends are pounding that chest. They've never been Indiana football fans in their life. Now all of a sudden they're all Indiana football fans. But, you know, you take that name off the jersey. They ran Ohio State, they ran Alabama, they won at Oregon.
- [03:51]
Matt Jones
No, they're good. Look, they're legit, I think. You know, they played Oregon up, that beat them on the road at Oregon. You know, they, they're clearly good. Signetti is like smug.
- [04:04]
Ryan Lemond
So smug.
- [04:05]
Shannon Dawson
Oh, yeah.
- [04:06]
Matt Jones
But he did say Google me and I and everybody mocked him. And like, now his Google is even better than it was before. I mean, you know, I've said I think it's the best coaching. I think you can make a strong argument it's the best coaching performance in the history of college football.
- [04:23]
Ryan Lemond
Yep.
- [04:24]
Matt Jones
And the argument is before he got there, they've been awful for 50 years. He turned them around in two years. And at a time where people are stockpiling talent on nil, he didn't even do that. And they still won. I mean, they got some guys, but most of his players came from James Madison. Like, he just brought a group of kids from James Madison, moved to the Big Ten, made the playoffs, and then in the next year has a shot at the national championship. It is, it's an amazing story.
- [04:58]
Shannon Dawson
He's smug. He looks like an evil genius over on the sideline. I kind of like him, man.
- [05:03]
Matt Jones
But you'd want him on your side.
- [05:04]
Commercial Announcer
I would.
- [05:05]
Shannon Dawson
And I, I, I'm conflicted here because it would be nice to have a coach coming in who just won a national title. But I look at Indiana and I think Kentucky football, because I think if Indiana can do this, Kentucky can do this. So I'm kind of torn on who to cheer for tonight.
- [05:19]
Matt Jones
Indiana, the Rev Share World. Because, you know, it's very complicated and we're at a live show and I don't want to bore people, but I've spent a lot of time thinking about the Rev Share Nil World and like, looking at it from a legal perspective and also at it from a business perspective. There has never been a moment in the history of Kentucky football, except maybe in the 50s where Kentucky's got a better chance to be good than now, you know, nil. In basketball, it's a little different. Basketball in nil, I think you're going to see haves and have nots separate quite a bit. But in football, because every team is getting $17 million, every team, you got a better chance to be a bad program and be good than in history. Go find you a good quarterback and then spend the rest that money and just get good players around him. You can be Indiana. You can be Indiana. So I find Indiana kind of inspiring. But in tonight's game, we got Will Stein on the other side, and I see it as like a win win, because if Will Stein wins, then we're going to be able to say we have the coach of the offensive coordinator of a potential national championship. If Will Stein loses, he can get his ass back to Lexington and finish this roster out.
- [06:48]
Shannon Dawson
It's a good way of looking at.
- [06:49]
Matt Jones
It because part of the problem is we, we, we, we got a bunch of commitments right at the beginning, and now he's not here and it's becoming a little harder. So I kind of see it as a win win. Ryan, whatever happens tonight, we can spin to make good.
- [07:02]
Ryan Lemond
For us, there's no doubt it's a win win if, if they do win and get to the national championship game and if they win the national championship game, he, we probably should feel lucky we got him when we did because other teams would probably be coming after him hard.
- [07:13]
Matt Jones
Well, whether he wins or loses, I've been told he's in my, this game is in Atlanta.
- [07:18]
Ryan Lemond
Atlanta, right. Peach Bowl.
- [07:19]
Matt Jones
Whether they win or lose, I'm told he's coming to Lexington for, like, they got a lot of people coming here Saturday that he'll be in Lexington Saturday. Win or lose. And then Sunday goes to Miami or. Excuse me, I think he'd be here Saturday and Sunday. And then Monday goes to Miami to start the. The prep for the national championship if they win. So this weekend coming up, as you're watching for uk, I mean, it's a big sports weekend at uk. You got UK basketball against Mississippi State. The women, they lost last night. Not a good performance. But they play Oklahoma a five versus six. Sunday, Immemorial Coliseum. I don't know if people realize how big that game is. It's in Lexington. Sunday, Immemorial Coliseum. But it also is a football recruiting weekend. They got a ton of guys coming this weekend and it's. And Will Stein will be here for. Either for good or for a couple days for before the national.
- [08:11]
Shannon Dawson
I'd love to have a camera crew following him around. Does anybody have a busier schedule than Will Stein? Having to try to balance being the OC at Oregon and head coach here?
- [08:19]
Matt Jones
Did you hear him talk about. Did you hear? He did. I think WDRB went down to the. To the Peach bowl and they interviewed him specifically to talk about what he was doing. And it was interesting. He said that when he was in Lexington, that was his full thing because the team was taking a break. Then when he went to Oregon, he was like, I spend all of my day preparing for this, except I have a set block of time that I deal with the Kentucky stuff. And he said, I take that block out of time, out of sleep, gotta find it somewhere. So he didn't say how many hours you sleeping? But he was like, I have a routine schedule and it includes this much sleep. It now has like an hour and a half less because I do the UK stuff during that.
- [09:09]
Ryan Lemond
It's amazing that he's able to do this, get this team ready to play in the semifinal of the national championship football series. And yet you're still got to rebuild your whole brand new team as a brand new head coach for the first time thousands of miles away in Kentucky.
- [09:21]
Shannon Dawson
Meanwhile, if I'm Oregon, I'm going, wait a minute, we're about to play for a national championship game. You're in Lexington this weekend.
- [09:26]
Matt Jones
Let me tell you one thing I am impressed about with this new regime. I mean, you know, I don't really. I don't know Will Stein at all. We had him on the show. I've never talked to him besides that. We've talked to his mom, gave some great cakes. Ryan ate them all, but otherwise it was fine. I'm probably gonna go by there today, just so I can actually eat the cake that we're supposed to give it to me. But here's what I can tell you about the way they're, they're organized. It is, and this is, I think, a positive. This is not a criticism. It is a top down organization. What I mean by that is I wanted to bring on either the oc, the defensive coordinator or the head of recruiting. I wanted to bring him on today because I was like, look, let's get some football news. I talked to UK people. They said, Will Stein has said until I'm there, no, no interviews with anybody. I want to get there. We all need to be on the same page talking on the same message. I respect that. Actually, I think that's good. I mean, I think it's good to kind of, you know, he. The whole staff hasn't even been together yet. I think it's good to do that. And even though I'd love to have one of them on Ryan, I actually think it shows organization. I am really, really, really, really impressed by this group's organization. We talk about analytics. They are taking every player and they are taking every player on the UK roster and every player in the portal and they are assigning them a value and they are saying, Ryan Lemon is a $225,000 player and I'm going to offer him $225,000. Now I'm not going to tell him he's a $225,000 player. Maybe I'll offer him 200 and hope he signs for less than his offer and maybe I'll agree to give him 250. But if he comes in here and asks for $300,000, I'm gonna say no. And if he doesn't like it, okay.
- [11:18]
Ryan Lemond
Go to the next way it goes.
- [11:21]
Matt Jones
And Kirk Herb street last night, I don't know if any of you watched the post game to the, to the game. Kirk, Herb street was advocating for just that system. He said, I want you to look at the four teams that are playing in the semifinals. All four of them looked at guys who wanted more money than they would pay and said, bye. And he was like, that's what you have to do. And from what I've talked to with people at Willstein's program, Ryan, I think that's what they're doing.
- [11:48]
Ryan Lemond
Well, when he spent the weekend here two weekends ago, they were very successful, I think, in that getting the guys they wanted to get and go after. If you're telling me this is another big Weekend. He's got a lot of guys coming in. I expect we'll probably get a lot of commitments first of next week.
- [12:01]
Matt Jones
And so when you've seen some guys leave Kentucky and you wonder why that's the answer. They evaluate them as being worth X amount and they wanted more. So take hardly Gilmore. I think UK wanted hardly Gilmore, but they thought Harley Gilmore was worth an amount of money. And Louisville decided, we're going to give him more than that money. And they said, you know what, we like you hardly Gilmore, but we can go find a full Gilmore, not a hardly Gilmore, and we can pay them the same amount of money. And Shannon, I think that's why he ends up at Louis.
- [12:39]
Shannon Dawson
I wonder though if he'd be willing to negotiate more with a top tier player. Like at best of the best, a guy that they really, really want.
- [12:45]
Matt Jones
I mean, they answered, I was told by someone that would know we will overpay for studs. Because you win with studs. Yeah. And I think that's what they'll do. I think they will overpay for a quarterback. I think they probably paid a lot of money for that center from Baylor. They're like, you gotta have a center that's really good. I think they probably will overpay for a receiver or something like that. But they're like. And I think maybe Todd Bryant did really well. Just from what I'm hearing. I bet Willie Rodriguez did pretty well. But I think they're like, we'll pay for five or six studs, but the rest of everybody we got, we got to get value. And I actually think Ryan at Kentucky, that's the way you do it.
- [13:28]
Ryan Lemond
So I don't know enough about it. Do the other like high profile, high powerful teams. Is that how they approach it? They kind of go out and spend on a great receiver, a great running back.
- [13:37]
Matt Jones
So I think that's a good question. So, like Ohio State has the money. They can pay for everybody. Okay. So that's what they're doing. So Ohio State's gonna pay for everybody. But other schools like us, Louisville, what they're doing is they're paying for like 15 guys or 17. And then the rest of the team's gonna be whatever. Whatever.
- [14:01]
Commercial Announcer
Yeah.
- [14:02]
Matt Jones
And maybe that works as long as you don't have injuries or you don't get any butt. By the way, that's what Mark Stoops did. Mark Stoops did that. We paid last year, probably we paid our starting lineup quite a bit of money. And some of those starting lineup guys ended up not even being in the starting lineup. Because they weren't good.
- [14:18]
Ryan Lemond
Correct.
- [14:19]
Matt Jones
And our second string did not. We were not deep and you saw the result.
- [14:25]
Ryan Lemond
So this philosophy of going out and get the studs, I think the idea their money.
- [14:30]
Matt Jones
There's two different philosophies. Pay six guys a lot and pay 45 guys market value. The second philosophy would be pay 17 guys a lot and then just fill the rest of the roster with. Well, with whatever.
- [14:43]
Shannon Dawson
I'd have rather have six really good players.
- [14:45]
Matt Jones
I think that's the way they look at it. I think the way they look at.
- [14:48]
Shannon Dawson
The chips ball where they give me.
- [14:49]
Matt Jones
A great quarterback, give me a great receiver, give me a couple great offensive linemen, give me a great edge rusher and maybe a great guy in the secondary, and let's roll, let's go. And I think that's kind of what. What. What they're doing. That's. And we'll see if it works. But I think that. But according to Kirk, Herb street, that's kind of what these teams that were playing in the national championship are doing. So I. It seems like a good.
- [15:13]
Shannon Dawson
Yeah. Load up on your best. Best players and let the market see what happens.
- [15:17]
Matt Jones
Yeah. Who's up next?
- [15:19]
Shannon Dawson
Bruce is up next.
- [15:20]
Matt Jones
Bruce. Go ahead, Bruce.
- [15:23]
Caller
I have a rumor control question and then a music video you guys forgot. Rumor control question is, does the JMI Nil deals. Does it guarantee certain players, basketball players specifically guaranteed minutes? That's why our. Our lineups have been no different.
- [15:45]
Matt Jones
I've not heard of any deal guaranteeing anyone any minutes, and I would be shocked if that existed. I don't think that happens.
- [15:53]
Ryan Lemond
Okay.
- [15:54]
Caller
And then the music video you guys forgot to add to your list yesterday. You remember when Dave Fleming was in that video with Laura Bell Bundy and he was loading the drinks up in.
- [16:04]
Matt Jones
The back of the truck. Very nice. That's not very nice. All right. That's not very nice. That was a good music video. I was a good actor.
- [16:10]
Commercial Announcer
Yep.
- [16:11]
Matt Jones
I loaded that cooler and that truck. Cooler into a truck. And it was. It was. It was. A lot of people still talk about it.
- [16:18]
Ryan Lemond
So that was way back early in the KSR days.
- [16:22]
Matt Jones
Laura Bell, Bundy, Bundy, a friend of mine, and she put me in the video and I wanted me to ride a horse. And I was like, I. I don't think that's a good idea because I've. I'm too tall for a horse.
- [16:34]
Shannon Dawson
You ever been on a horse?
- [16:36]
Matt Jones
Well, I got up there and like, they kind of. But she wanted me to like gallop.
- [16:43]
Shannon Dawson
She wanted you to gallop. Or the horse.
- [16:45]
Matt Jones
Yeah. Well, I guess it would have been the horse galloping.
- [16:48]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [16:48]
Matt Jones
And I was like, I don't want to do that. That's not for me.
- [16:52]
Shannon Dawson
So you don't want to get thrown from one.
- [16:53]
Ryan Lemond
Here, then take this cooler and put it in the back of the truck.
- [16:55]
Matt Jones
Yeah. So then I. Then they got me the real word.
- [16:57]
Shannon Dawson
Here's the friendliest thing we can do. Pick this cooler up and put it in the back of a pickup truck.
- [17:02]
Matt Jones
And I think I did that very well, don't you?
- [17:04]
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, very well.

Matt Jones
Here at Cornbread Hemp in Louisville, 859-280-2287. One person writes. Matt, do you think we've missed out on players by Will Stein having to play for Oregon? Yes, I think we have, but that's part of the deal. I mean, that's when you, when you hire the guy, you know that that may end up happening. But yes, I do think that has worked. We've lost a couple probably because of that, but that's part of the trade off.
- [20:41]
Shannon Dawson
I'm okay with that because let's play this out. Let's say however many years from now, Kentucky is in the playoffs and he's about to go to another school. You know that you have somebody that's loyal enough to stay there and finish out the season. Unlike, like what Lane Kiffin?
- [20:53]
Matt Jones
Unlike what happened with, with Lane Kiffin. You think Lane Kiffin breathed a big sigh of relief last night when Ole Miss didn't win without him. He lost $250,000. But he also, I mean, it would have been a bad sign if they were able to win without him.
- [21:07]
Shannon Dawson
It's true. Yeah, I think I would have rather, rather than Win and take the $250,000 though, for free and get a ring.
- [21:15]
Ryan Lemond
I kind of secretly think he was kind of hoping they would lose. He could make him not look so bad because if they were winning without him, you know, he wants to be the savior. He wants to be the guy.
- [21:23]
Shannon Dawson
They already beat Georgia without him.
- [21:25]
Matt Jones
Yeah. I mean, they be. They beat Georgia without him, so I don't know. I. I think he probably wanted them to lose deep down.
- [21:32]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [21:32]
Matt Jones
He would never say it, but I think he did. NFL playoffs. Let's make some DraftKings picks. Go to DraftKings. Use promo COD ASR. Make your draft kings. Bet. Bet. 5. Win 300 in bonus bets. Let's go through them. Six games. Rams @ Panthers. Who you.

- [21:51]
Ryan Lemond
One. I'm going.
- [21:52]
Matt Jones
Panthers.
- [21:53]
Ryan Lemond
Really? They've been surprising people this year.
- [21:55]
Matt Jones
Yeah. By the way, this is the only time I can ever remember the playoffs. Six games. I think any of the six teams could. Or any in any game, anyone could win. I don't think that's ever been like that before, but I do think it is this week. I'm going to take the Rams to win. Although they do go to the East Coast. It's an relatively early game, etc. Saturday night. That's Bears.
- [22:15]
Sports Broadcaster
Packers.
- [22:15]
Shannon Dawson
You. You know who I'm going to pick. But this is huge for both you and.

I. It is during the Kentucky.
- [22:20]
Shannon Dawson
Game. I know, right? So what are you going to do? You going to watch it.
- [22:24]
Matt Jones
Split? I'll probably watch Bears packers on my iPad and watch Kentucky on tv, but go.
- [22:28]
Shannon Dawson
Ahead. Packers are struggling. They've got a lot of injuries. Jordan Love is back, though. I'm going to say the packers win. I can't pick against the Packers. I know, I know. You got the.
- [22:36]
Matt Jones
Bears. I kind of think the packers are going to win, but I'm going to pick the Bears just because I'm not going to pick against my team. But I. I'm worried about it. What about you.
- [22:43]
Ryan Lemond
Man? The last time they played, I still don't know how the Bears won that game. That was an exciting, fun finish to that game. When the packers and Bears played each other, went into overtime. It's in.
- [22:51]
Matt Jones
Chicago. But we haven't beaten the packers ever. Three times in a.
- [22:55]
Ryan Lemond
Year.
- [22:56]
Matt Jones
Really? Because we've never beaten them in the playoffs. We've only played them twice. We've only played the Pack. Think about that. We've only played them twice in the history of the NFL and we've never. So we've never Beaten them three times. We would have to do.
- [23:05]

- [23:17]
Ryan Lemond
Allens. I can't believe Jacksonville's done as well as they have Buffalo. Still to me a team to be. I'm going.
- [23:22]
Matt Jones
Buffalo. I'm going to take Buffalo. But you know, they keep.
- [23:25]
Ryan Lemond
Winning. They.
- [23:26]
Matt Jones
Do. I mean they keep winning. 49ers.
- [23:28]
Shannon Dawson
Eagles. I hate the Eagles, but I think at home they're just too good at home. I'm going to go with.
- [23:33]
Ryan Lemond
Philadelphia. Both teams kind of underachieved this year, I think. But the 49ers seem to be kind of found themselves here.
- [23:39]
Matt Jones
Lately. 49ers been hurt all year. Like they if. Did you see the conspiracy theory about.
- [23:44]
Ryan Lemond
That?
- [23:44]
Matt Jones
No. Their practice facility is next to like a power station and there are people online who think the power station causes their players to get hurt more because of like radio electrical. I'm.
- [24:00]
Shannon Dawson
Serious. I like a good.
- [24:01]
Matt Jones
Conspiracy. The 49ers fans are buying it like they were because they've had like a disproportionate amount of guys get injured in practice. I'm just telling you I don't believe it, but I'm telling you it's out there anyway. Who you.
- [24:13]
Shannon Dawson
Got? Who's the team is 49ers and Eagles. Oh, I already said I already picked the.
- [24:17]
Matt Jones
Eagles. All right, I'll take the Eagles since they are at home the Sunday night game. Chargers at Page or Patriots? Yeah, Chargers and.
- [24:22]
Shannon Dawson
Patriots. Patriots have been had a great season surprisingly. I think they keep it rolling. I think they.
- [24:27]
Ryan Lemond
Win. I am with the Patriots also. They had a great year. Drake May's done great.
- [24:31]
Matt Jones
Things. I'm going to take the Chargers to win on the road up my it's my Matt Jones upset sp pick of the week. And then finally Steelers Texans Monday Night.
- [24:40]
Shannon Dawson
Football. It's going to be a good one. Aaron Rodgers got him to the playoffs. I think he at least wins one.
- [24:45]
Matt Jones
Game. Texas got the best defense. I'll take.
- [24:47]
Ryan Lemond
Houston. I can't believe they beat the Ravens the other last weekend. So I'm going.

Okay. They don't know this yet, but we have a listener to this show. I, I am amazed at the listeners to this show. I got invited, and I didn't end up going because I just. It's too many people. But I got invited to go to the official New Year's Eve ball drop in Times Square because the person in charge listens to this show. It is from Kentucky. We got an invite for the four of us. The person who is in charge of throwing Shaq's party on Friday night and the Sports Illustrated party on Saturday night has invited us and given us VIP status for, for both. For both events.

Shannon Dawson
Yeah. These two have already got a rivalry going on. I want to see if they can, like, you know, one up each other.
- [26:45]
Matt Jones
On. So we are excited we found out. We'll be doing. We'll be doing our podcast from. We will be doing our podcast on the NFL Network studio from Press Row. They have two studios, one for T TV and one for radio and Pocket. And we're gonna, we're gonna be there. It's, it's very exciting. I, I, I want to do our show here, there, but we can't because it's in California. So it's 7am and it won't have opened yet. So it doesn't, it doesn't open until we can do.
- [27:14]
Shannon Dawson
It. Ryan and I will be living vicariously through you guys there at the Sports.
- [27:18]
Ryan Lemond
Illustrator. We're looking at Mario's Instagram to see what inspirational quote he's going to.
- [27:21]
Matt Jones
Give us from the super bowl party, by the way, is like an electric music party. I hate that kind of music with a passion. So I don't know how long I will stay at that one, but I will at least. I will at least.
- [27:33]
Shannon Dawson
Go. Don't forget your clubbing.
- [27:34]
Matt Jones
Shirt. Oh, the clubbing shirts get worn every night. Take a break and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back Tech Sports Radio here live at Cornbread Hemp where they have their manufacturing facility. You could get a tour of this. First of its kind in America. You could just come by and see it. State of the art Production Facility, USDA Organic Hemp Products. You can learn more at cornbread hemp.com we are here. I see people all have their bags where they got their Cornbread Hemp goods. It's always nice to be out here in Louisville and see all the Louisville fan. The Kentucky fans who live in Louisville. If you're a Louisville fan, you now basically have Kentucky's football team from last year. They've signed now six guys who played for Kentucky last year. Kind of odd to me. I didn't feel like we were that good.
- [28:24]
Ryan Lemond
Right. Did you get any clap back that a couple of those guys are Kentucky kids? Played high school ball right down the road from Lexington and packing bags and going to.
- [28:33]
Matt Jones
Louisville. I mean, I haven't like let them look. I mean these are all guys that came here to Kentucky because of.
- [28:42]
Ryan Lemond
Vince.
- [28:42]
Matt Jones
Right. Like every single, every single guy who has signed with Louisville was a dude Vince recruited to uk. So I'm not shocked that with Vince at Louisville. One of the things that makes Vince successful is he keeps relationships with people after they go to another school. That's how we got Wandell and that's how we've gotten a lot of people over the years. So I, I mean, I'm fine with it. I just don't understand if you're Louisville, like none of those. We weren't good.
- [29:08]
Shannon Dawson
Yeah. If you're brahm going, wait a minute, those guys lost. Why do I want those.
- [29:12]
Matt Jones
Guys? Those guys didn't play and the ones that did play, we weren't good. So I'm just kind of surprised they've taken so many of our.
- [29:19]
Shannon Dawson
Guys. Shows their loyalty to Vince.
- [29:21]
Ryan Lemond
Though.
- [29:21]
Shannon Dawson
Yeah. You know, he's a great.
- [29:22]
Ryan Lemond
Recruiter. I think Vince is probably smiling, you know, put a feather in his cap. You're taking these kids away from Kentucky just to bring him to.
- [29:29]
Matt Jones
Louisville. All right, I have a question for you. You know, so you know, when players go to games, some teams have dress codes, some don't yes. The NHL used to have a dress code that in order to go to a game, you had to be wearing a blazer and tie. And then some players complained. And now in the last three years, this past year, excuse me, they said, okay, no more dress code. Teams can do their own dress codes. And there was a story that some teams are asking their players to still dress, and some teams are letting them go ragtag. And they did a study. The teams that have dressed up to go to games are having better seasons than the teams that have no dress code. So, Ryan Lemon, let's say you're the coach of a college football, college basketball, NHL, whatever team. Are you making your team show up to the game in a dress? I saw one player said, we wear anything to practice, but we wear suits to the game because we're going to work and it helps us be focused. What do you.
- [30:40]
Ryan Lemond
Think? Yeah, I grew up in that era, or even in high school, we all wore the. The blazer. When my dad was the coach, you know, to high school games, Will Millers wore the Otwell blazer, and I think he still got one in his closet. But, man, in this day and age, I don't know if you can force guys that are making millions of.
- [30:55]
Matt Jones
Dollars. Well, you can. They're doing it. I.
- [30:58]
Ryan Lemond
Don'T. I've opened against. I would not be that coach. I'd be the guy you say, wear whatever you want if you.
- [31:02]
Matt Jones
Want. All right, what.
- [31:02]
Shannon Dawson
About. I think this is one of the dumbest rules in sports. Why do you have to dress up to a game to put on an oversized shirt and a helmet if you're a hockey player in skates? So why do you need to be wearing a blazer and tie just to walk into the arena? I don't think it has anything to do with how you perform.
- [31:17]
Matt Jones
On. I'm going to surprise you. Yeah, I'm pro dress. Co. Wow. And again, this is what I.
- [31:25]
Shannon Dawson
Wear. The guy who wears a hoodie every.
- [31:27]
Matt Jones
Day. This is what I wear most of the time. But here's the reason you that I agree with the idea that there are certain things you do that there's a professionalism involved. I've talked about this a lot. I don't think, like, John Federman wears a hoodie to the.
- [31:42]
Commercial Announcer
Senate.
- [31:42]
Matt Jones
Boo. Dress up like. That's a. That's a job where you show profess. I don't want to see the President of the United States looking like. Dressed like me. I want to see the president of the United States dressed well, similarly When I go to church, I've talked about. I don't like when ministers are up there in jeans. I don't like it now if people in church are wearing jeans, I'm okay with that. But like the minister, you're speaking to people, right? Same thing. You're walking into a game, you are representing your franchise, the city. I'm especially in the pros. College, I don't care as much about. But in the pros, I like.
- [32:17]
Shannon Dawson
It. I hear you on the priest and on the president, but we can't compare a president to a hockey.
- [32:22]
Matt Jones
Player. I think a Detroit red wing is the same as the president of the United.
- [32:26]
Shannon Dawson
States. You think.
- [32:27]
Matt Jones
So? No, probably.
- [32:28]
Ryan Lemond
Not. Hockey is a little different where the head coach, coaches, they all wear the suit and.
- [32:31]
Matt Jones
Tie. I, I know this is like, not. I think these coaches. I kind of don't like these coaches and pullovers. It's weird. Granted, it is weird. Like, we let baseball coaches wear uniforms, which I think is dumb. But I kind of think the coaches. You know, he's right. In hockey, they still wear suits, but in basketball now we've kind of gotten away from that. And I, I kind of like.
- [32:55]
Shannon Dawson
This. You know, Pope wears the suit if he goes to what he would call, like, you know, his important. An important place. But now imagine you're playing Pope and he's playing at your arena and he's wearing a pullover. Now I feel disrespected. You don't think my place is good enough to wear a.
- [33:08]
Matt Jones
Suit? Saying like, I'm in Starkville. You wear suit. Exactly. Yeah, there is a little bit of that. Who's.
- [33:13]
Ryan Lemond
Next? One more thing. The NBA guys, it's become like a fashion show as they walk into the arena with what they're wearing that night. Coming to the.
- [33:20]
Matt Jones
Game. Yeah. On my team would say we at least, whether it's suits or not, we at least don't dress like slops. That's what I would. That's what I would.
- [33:29]
Shannon Dawson
Do. I hope I heart has like a dress code next.
- [33:31]
Matt Jones
Week. Radio's different. Who's.
- [33:34]
Ryan Lemond
Next? Stephen is up.
- [33:36]
Matt Jones
Next. Stephen, go ahead.
- [33:37]
Caller
Stephen. Hey, Matt. Longtime listener, first time.
- [33:41]
Matt Jones
Caller. Who are. What's.
- [33:42]
Caller
Up? Hey, Thinking about your conversation with Ryan yesterday and talking about the conversation. Kentucky team going 6 and 12. So it got me to thinking, this is Kentucky's 93rd year in the SEC. So over the last 92 seasons, how many times has Kentucky finished with a sub.500 record in.
- [34:03]
Matt Jones
Comp. That's a great question. I have no idea. Do you have the answer? I do. Okay, so 92 seasons. How many times have we had a sub 500 sec record? Let's take a guess before you give me the answer. I don't know the answer. What do you think it is?
- [34:18]
Ryan Lemond
Right. I'm. I'm going to go.
- [34:20]
Matt Jones
Eight. All right.
- [34:21]
Ryan Lemond
Shannon.
- [34:22]
Matt Jones
Ten. So let me just go through my lifetime. We had it in the COVID year. We. I don't even think we had a losing record. The Netherlands year. We didn't make the tournament, but I don't think we had a losing record. We did not have it last year. We had it the year right before we went on probation. We had it probably Rick's first year. No, maybe we were 500. So I'm gonna say like five. What is.
- [34:53]
Caller
It?
- [34:55]
Matt Jones
Three. Three.
- [34:57]
Ryan Lemond
Wow. Wow. Okay.
- [34:59]
Caller
Wow. The 60, 6667 season. 8889 and 20.
- [35:04]
Matt Jones
21. Well, I picked two of the three. I didn't know the 66, 67.
- [35:09]
Caller
So. One more thing.
- [35:11]
Matt Jones
Matt.
- [35:11]
Caller
Yeah. So since the 4849 season, Kentucky has consistently played double digit SEC conference games. So since 4849 we have won at least eight games. So if we only win six this year, that's another record. I don't think.
- [35:33]
Matt Jones
Mark. Oh.
- [35:34]
Ryan Lemond
Wow. So wait a.
- [35:34]
Matt Jones
Minute. You're saying we've never, we've never won less than eight games.
- [35:40]
Caller
Correct. Since the 48.
- [35:41]
Matt Jones
49. And what's amazing is we play two more games this year than we've ever. Than we've ever played. We play 18. We've only done that the last three years. So you're telling me if we lose, if we win less than 8, it will be the worst conference season in the history of UK.
- [35:59]
Caller
Basketball. Correct. Because we've always at least won eight.
- [36:04]
Matt Jones
Games.
- [36:05]
Caller
Wow. Since I appreciate the.
- [36:07]
Matt Jones
Call. That's an amazing stat. And it is. I mean that's what, 7 and 11? And that is definitely on the table. I mean it's not 7 and 11 is on the tape. That could happen. And that would be. Well now the COVID year we didn't play as many games. But wait a minute. He's saying we did win eight games in the COVID year because. That's right. We played a full conference schedule. We didn't play as many in the non.
- [36:34]
Shannon Dawson
Conference. So they only won nine that year. Or nine and.
- [36:37]
Matt Jones
16. Yeah, he may be wrong about the COVID year. But regardless, it would be either the worst or second worst that I had. That. Now that's a perspective Ryan I hadn't thought.
- [36:48]
Ryan Lemond
About. And the fact, they're 0 and 2. That means they'd have to go 7 and 9 from here on out to finish 7.
- [36:53]
Shannon Dawson
11. That makes that game tomorrow. Like you have to win.
- [36:56]
Matt Jones
Tomorrow. Well, no, I mean, look, if they. We haven't even really talked about that game tomorrow night. If they lose tomorrow night. Seasons, I'm not gonna say it's over, but it's over if you lose tomorrow night with the schedule that's still to.
- [37:12]
Shannon Dawson
Come. Those are your two easiest games.
- [37:14]
Matt Jones
And you've lost twice at home to Missouri and Mississippi State. It's. It's not good because then you.
- [37:21]
Shannon Dawson
Got to go on the road and get some major upsets to even offset those two.
- [37:24]
Matt Jones
Losses. Yeah, I don't even want to think about if they.
- [37:26]
Ryan Lemond
Lose. It's.
- [37:27]
Matt Jones
Depressing. No, I mean, I really don't. I like our pregame show tomorrow, by the way. Starts at 6. Would love everybody to come out. We'll be at the bar. Yeah, come out before the game. Let's. Let's eat, drink and be merry. Because for. If we lose tomorrow, we will all die. I mean, like there is a. If you, like you can't, you can't lose that game tomorrow night. But that stat is very sobering. It is if we've only had a losing season in Kentucky basketball and conference three times ever. One Cal year, Eddie Sutton, and one Rupp year. And this is the fourth. And there were extenuating circumstances in all those years, right? I mean.
- [38:12]
Ryan Lemond
Covid.
- [38:14]
Matt Jones
Probation. Probation the year after Rup's runs. I don't know if there was an extended extenuating circumstance there, but it didn't work out.
- [38:22]
Ryan Lemond
Clearly. And we're staring at that possibility of being in the four season right now in the.
- [38:26]
Matt Jones
Face. Well, I don't like thinking about that. We'll take a break. Be right back. We're here at Cornbread Hemp. This is Kentucky Sports.

All right, I got a question for you all. By the way, the caller was right. Even in the COVID year we won eight SEC games. We only won one non conference game, went eight and nine in the SEC and then went one and seven in the non.
- [41:29]
Shannon Dawson
Conference. I forgot how bad that year.
- [41:31]
Matt Jones
Was. Non conference we lost to North Carolina, Kansas, Louisville, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech and Richmond that.
- [41:41]
Shannon Dawson
Year. Who's the team we.
- [41:43]
Matt Jones
Beat? Who did we.
- [41:44]
Shannon Dawson
Beat? Oh wow. Imagine going to the.
- [41:48]
Matt Jones
Sec. We still won eight conference.
- [41:50]
Shannon Dawson
Games. That's pretty impressive.
- [41:51]
Matt Jones
Actually. All right, I just saw this Sports Business Journal just released the Hundred most watched television broadcasts of 2025. Okay, 85 of them were NFL games. What? 85 of the top 100 TV broadcasts of 2025 were NFL games. Let's see, nine were college football games. So that means 94 of the top 100 games were either or top 100 television events. Not even just sports were either NFL or college football games. So now I ask you, what were the six television broadcast besides football that were the most watched things in America last year? Can you get.
- [42:35]
Shannon Dawson
Them? All right, 2025. So this include like includes anything I would say. State of the.
- [42:44]
Matt Jones
Union. State of the Union was in the. Yes. That's 15.

- [43:04]
Matt Jones
On. There's nothing with Taylor.
- [43:06]
Shannon Dawson

World Series game seven. The what? Stanley Cup. No. Anyone else? The Derby. Good job in this city. How do we not get the derby? Guys, that's our state. You have two more. Billy's gotten two of the four.

Matt Jones
Grammys? Come on. What is this show about Sports. What would it be? The national championship game is one of them. College basketball. And then one more which would be unique to last year. The inauguration is the other one. Those are the six non NFL and college football. The inauguration, the State of the Union, the Oscars. Game seven of the World Series. The. The NCAA finals. And how about the Kentucky Derby? People forget about the Kentucky Derby gets massive ratings. Interesting. All of those events, even the sporting events. Derby, NCAA title game and World Series. No NBA games. No NBA finals games are. Are part of. Now granted, I don't think this. Did the series go seven last year usually. Actually it did go seven. So shockingly that's not on.
- [45:01]
Shannon Dawson
There. But so NBA doesn't move the needle. That's.

Hard to know with Trent Noah. I mean it's hard for me, Ryan, to know. Is Trent Noah like, is he not playing well? Does he not have confidence? Is he not very good? I don't, I honestly, I really don't know the answer. Do you.

Ryan Lemond
Know? I think it's a big mystery. You know, he was starting with the, the season started, he got hurt. When he came back, he seemed like he was never the same. But he's not even played the last three games. He's not even taking his warm up.
- [46:10]
Shannon Dawson
Off. Yeah, that's what he's waiting for. He's waiting for playing.
- [46:12]
Matt Jones
Time. But I mean, to be fair, he played, he played a lot in some of those early games and did not play.
- [46:20]
Shannon Dawson
Well. So I mean, do you just abandon that? I mean, I think he's still, he's still a good shooter. I think you got to go back to him and give him a.
- [46:26]
Matt Jones
Chance. Yeah, I, I don't know. I, I will say if you look at the Kentucky teams through the years, I felt like most of the years I have a pretty good handle on them. This one baffles me. Yep, this one baffles me. I, I, I don't know why, I don't know why we're so bad. I really.
- [46:43]
Shannon Dawson
Don'T. You got the.
- [46:44]
Matt Jones
Town. I know why we're not great because we don't have a lot of guys who can get their own shot and we can't shoot. But we still shouldn't be this bad. I mean we, we shouldn't be just standing around in mud like we seem to do a lot of the time. I don't understand why we're this.
- [47:01]
Ryan Lemond
Bad. I don't either. And when you're struggling to shoot the basketball and shoot the three, why not give him a chance? I don't understand how he's not played. Why did Jasper not have one minute.
- [47:09]
Matt Jones
Game? You just, you're not gonna get over the.
- [47:10]
Ryan Lemond
Jasper. I just don't understand how that you can leave him on the Bench like.
- [47:14]
Matt Jones
That. Well, it's. That one's good. Of all the things that have happened when it comes to recruiting next year, the minutes that Jasper has not gotten, that's one I think is going to stick. So. All right, cats in Mississippi State, 8:30 tomorrow night. Pregame show starts at 6. We'll be at KS Bar. Shannon, what do we think is going to.
- [47:35]
Shannon Dawson
Happen? Kentucky's gonna win. They have to win this game. So I think that they went 83, 71. If you're looking for an MVP, I feel like the obvious answer is, oh, wait, he goes for 14 or 15 every game. So I'll take.
- [47:46]
Ryan Lemond
Away. You know, Josh Hubbard is still sharpshooter from.
- [47:49]
Matt Jones
His. There's no way he's still.
- [47:50]
Ryan Lemond
There. Yes, he.
- [47:51]
Matt Jones
Is. Yeah, Josh Hubbard, he's been there.
- [47:53]
Ryan Lemond
Since the Clinton administration and he always does well against Kentucky. So he always has, you know, he's been a cat killer almost. Shannon, Kentucky wins the game. I think it's another low scoring game. First one to 71 may win the rule 71 back in place. I'll go 72, 68 Kentucky and I'll take. I'll take quite. Come on, man. He's got to do something.

Matt Jones
Right. Last year, the game in Starkville was really a big game for Kentucky. They won. You may remember, that was the famous one where Mark went into the stands afterwards and met the Kentucky fan that was in the wheelchair and went up. I thought it was a. That was a really cool Kentucky moment. I'm hoping we get this vibe back. I mean, the only positive I saw from Wednesday is that Mark Pope seemed like he was back to being himself and not kind of the way he'd been before. I'm gonna say Kentucky wins. I think it's gonna be ugly. I think it's gonna be not fun. But I'm gonna say 75, 70. And Kentucky does what they didn't do against Missouri and finishes it down the stretch and wins. At least I hope they do because if they don't, it's not going to be good. Thank you all very much, all you folks here at Cornbread Hemp. We do really appreciate it. If you get a chance. Chance, listen to my interrupted episode. I had a guy that talk in Venezuela. He was great. And we'll be back tomorrow. We will see you later. Enjoy your weekend.
