BBN Roundtable: Kentucky Stuns LSU! | AP #15 | Oklahoma Preview

WEBVTT
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.480
Coast Nine continues to make some gutsy decisions.
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.200
This team continues finding ways to win.
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:03.280
And um and here we are.
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:04.960
Uh what are we watching?
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.439
Something truly develop in Lexington?
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:09.439
Are we getting a little ahead of ourselves?
00:01:09.520 --> 00:01:11.120
That's what we're here to discuss.
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:12.879
We will recap LSU.
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.599
We'll take a early peek at Oklahoma.
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.040
Check in on some Kentucky basketball because we've got an exhibition coming up.
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:20.719
And of course, final shots.
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:26.159
Um, but before we get into all that, I want to want to recognize something pretty special.
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.719
Uh Trabard, can I show this graphic?
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:29.920
Yeah, check this out, guys.
00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:30.480
Good tweet.
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:31.520
Put out tweet.
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:40.800
What a night from being an honorary captain with my 07 teammates, having UK coach or having Coach Brooks uh and the ending of a game, obviously.
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:47.040
Travard, I want to get uh before we we get into last night, take us back to 2007.
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.079
What do you remember most about the atmosphere?
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:54.320
Because last night's atmosphere, I'm watching TV and it was fucking phenomenal.
00:01:54.480 --> 00:02:02.960
Uh tell us about the atmosphere, the motions, and you know, at that moment when you guys realize you just beat the number one team America.
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:07.280
Yeah, the atmosphere, what 07 was I mean, it was loud and genetic.
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.159
And uh year before that, they beat us 49 exil.
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:19.040
So when we played um the 07 year, well, the following year, I think they gave well, I think we scored first and they scored like two or two or three touchdowns, like back to back to back.
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:21.519
We was thinking like uh this game might get out of hand.
00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:29.680
But all of a sudden we started playing good and started shutting down off what shutting down our offense a little bit, and our offense started uh scored some touchdowns and we slowly started coming back then.
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:31.280
Overtime.
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:33.280
So I just know it was uh it was a long game.
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.240
I think the game was about seven, seven hours, something like that.
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.240
So it was it was a long game.
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.400
And didn't you didn't you had an interception that game too, right?
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:43.439
I did have an interception, yeah.
00:02:43.600 --> 00:02:44.960
Yeah, what do you remember about that play?
00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:45.519
What do you remember?
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:46.800
Yeah, tell us about that play.
00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:51.519
I remember, well, I was if you look closely, I was actually burnt and he kind of threw it.
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.280
But my well, the safety, the safety on the play is Calvin Harrison.
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.560
When he played with me, I always tell my mother at least leave you by yourself.
00:02:58.639 --> 00:02:59.600
I'm gonna do my own thing.
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:00.879
And that's what happened.
00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:05.920
And the quarterback playing kind of threw it and I intercepted, which made me look better than the actual play.
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.439
And the meeting, that following meeting that Sunday, the DC Steve Brown was like, You know, you was beat on that play.
00:03:11.600 --> 00:03:17.199
I looked at him like, yeah, I know I was beat, but quarterback on the third, I picked it and ended up winning the game.
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.519
So being on the field and been in the stands.
00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:21.600
Well, then take us to last night.
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:22.000
Go ahead.
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.560
Last night, uh, well, I was honored captain.
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:29.040
So being on the field and hearing the fans doing a blue white channel, it was it was loud.
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:33.280
So being out on the field and the stands is hearing the uh the loudness of the crowd is a lot different.
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:34.240
So that was good.
00:03:34.399 --> 00:03:36.879
Seeing the couple old teammates seeing Rich Brooks.
00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:39.360
So it was it was a it was a great night.
00:03:39.600 --> 00:03:40.720
Very cool, guys.
00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:43.680
Who um producer?
00:03:43.839 --> 00:03:45.040
Okay, well, there we go.
00:03:45.199 --> 00:04:00.560
Um, for those of you all, maybe you all do, um, that recall the 2007 LSU win and what we witnessed last night, where does this latest victory rank amongst your favorite Kentucky moments?
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.519
Real quick, and then we'll get into LSU from last night.
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:04.720
Dave, I'll start with you.
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:06.160
Where does this rank your favorite?
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.839
I mean, it's kind of it's kind of tough to rank moments, you know, because so many of them are special in so many different ways.
00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:18.319
But, you know, just being with this being, you know, Coach Nylon's first year and yet another massive, massive victory.
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.319
I mean, it's it's it's gotta be up there in the top five, uh, at least for me.
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.600
Um, you know, you got Lane Kivan in there, the super villain.
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.600
You know, once again, you got everybody picking against you and you take care of business.
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:30.560
So well said.
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:31.759
TB, what about you?
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:32.879
How does last night break?
00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:42.160
The Citrus the Citrus Bowl uh at the end of the 2021 season will always uh have a special place in my heart simply because I was in Iowa at the time.
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:47.199
So uh uh personally, that one uh was was special for me.
00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:48.240
But last night was fun.
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.120
I'm not discounting that, but I'm just talking from a personal standpoint.
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.199
That was that one's tough to beat to me.
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:53.759
Got it.
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:54.879
Paul, how about you?
00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:00.959
Um, I think it was was it 14 or 15 that Grove Street was it with South Carolina?
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:02.000
Wait, 14.
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:02.719
14.
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:04.879
Um, my wife and I had just lost the baby.
00:05:05.039 --> 00:05:07.439
Oh um, it was really hard.
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:13.519
It was the first like thing we got out, and it was like for three hours the world didn't feel heavy.
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.079
Um, and so for that little bit of time it was really joyful and we got to bounce around.
00:05:18.159 --> 00:05:21.199
I was, I think it's the first time I saw Liz smile in like two weeks.
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.120
So it was a it was a good time.
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:24.959
But you, Corey.
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:26.879
Uh it's probably top five.
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:28.639
Uh I was actually a senior in 07.
00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:31.199
I was gonna say, you were still student.
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.759
I was I was on uh the field after that big win against uh the Tigers.
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:41.120
Um I mean I think the Lowell game and uh L LST game from 07s up there.
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:41.519
Yeah.
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:45.279
Um when we finally beat Spurrier in 2010 was pretty big.
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:50.879
Uh I was lucky enough to be in Gainesville in 2018 when we finally uh uh ended that streak.
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:52.319
So Oh, you were there in Gainesville?
00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:52.639
Okay.
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:54.159
Yeah, I was I was lucky.
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.639
So this is probably uh fourth or fifth for me.
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:57.199
Well, okay.
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:58.879
Can I honorable mention 07?
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:09.199
Because I went to the game with my mom, and my mom is now 85, and literally the first text I got when they won was my mom because she has the UK Kentucky game from 07.
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.519
She's never stopped talking about it, Trey Trey.
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.680
So just so you know, she remembers everything.
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:19.759
Um I told her it was we do like a show and you're on it, and she was just like, oh, it's just funny.
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.159
Um, but yeah, that's like an honorable mention.
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.399
I think it's the last game my mom and I ever went to, too.
00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:27.120
So familiar.
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:28.159
Oh, second to last.
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.240
She went to Arkansas on the walk-off.
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:31.360
That one, that was the last game.
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:32.879
So she's seen two really good games.
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:34.079
I think she's only been to three.
00:06:34.159 --> 00:06:35.680
So very cool, very cool.
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:36.719
All right, fellas.
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.839
Let's let's um start big picture here.
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:40.639
Dave O.
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.240
After watching our cats beat LSU last night.
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.479
What's your biggest what's your biggest takeaway right now about this football?
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:49.599
We're legit.
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.639
I mean, I don't I don't that's that's the biggest thing I can say.
00:06:52.719 --> 00:06:53.360
I mean, we're legit.
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:54.879
We're halfway through the season.
00:06:55.039 --> 00:06:57.519
Um, there's been like I said, there's never been any digression.
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.079
Um, they're getting steady and they're getting better.
00:07:00.159 --> 00:07:00.959
Um, we're legit.
00:07:01.039 --> 00:07:03.519
Um my bad.
00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:06.800
I mean, uh you got players stepping up in positions that are hurt.
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:11.199
So, I mean, TB saying for you, biggest takeaway uh about this team right now.
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.680
Absolutely, it's a top 25 program, right?
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.959
You know, uh I saw a lot of people with the missed field goals.
00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:18.240
I know we're gonna break down the game.
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:22.719
A lot of fans kind of saying same old Kentucky, but no, they they bounce back, right?
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.519
Like you're gonna have games where you do have turnovers, right?
00:07:25.599 --> 00:07:28.719
You're gonna have games where you do have intercepts and missed field goals.
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.479
Uh, but they figured out a way to win.
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:31.680
And that's the important thing.
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:38.159
That's the that's the the thing I'm taking away it from is Will Stein is is talking the is walking the talk, right?
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.000
He told us if you're scared, go to church.
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:41.360
Like, this is what I'm gonna do.
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:43.279
And I know Trevari can speak to that.
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.839
When your coach believes you can get it done, that raises your play up a little bit.
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.039
So I'm excited for what the second half of the season has in store.
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:52.399
Same for you, Paul.
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.519
Uh, what's the takeaway right now about this football team?
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.759
I mean, they're it's a damn good football team.
00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:58.879
I've been telling you guys this.
00:07:59.039 --> 00:08:01.120
I've been telling everybody that would listen for a while.
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.159
Um, I think I would have been more disappointed if we had lost.
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:12.159
Uh, I think the takeaway would have been been better, but I mean, I was bullish after we lost to Jordan to Alabama about a lot of the people saying some stuff.
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.360
I know a lot of people want to be like, isn't this the guy that's the same old Kentucky?
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:16.240
Yeah, dumbass.
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.560
I was Alabama and we we crashed and burned like we had always had.
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.000
It was a it was a moment.
00:08:22.159 --> 00:08:24.719
And everybody says emotional things in a in a moment.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.560
Chill out, like enjoy the wins.
00:08:26.719 --> 00:08:29.279
Like the the a lot of people did say this.
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.039
Like, old Kentucky loses that game.
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:36.240
Like I mean, when you think about this, we were in the red zone twice.
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:43.440
Or yeah, we had to go to the red zone, what, two or three times in the last nine minutes, and we to just to get to overtime that last drive.
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:50.639
I mean, this team's got ice in its veins that that I don't think we've seen, and a will and a belief that they're gonna win no matter what.
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.960
Uh, and I think that that's just uh uh just such an incredible thing for this team.
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:56.320
Same for you, Trevor.
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.759
Uh, six games in, half the season is over.
00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:01.840
What's your biggest takeaway right now about this team?
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:07.840
I'd say this team can compete with anybody on the SEC and compete with anybody in the SEC, compete with anybody in the nation.
00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:12.240
So I think the offense is good looking good, defense is physical and flying around.
00:09:12.400 --> 00:09:16.320
So just go week to week and just play whoever's on your schedule, keep winning and keep playing hard.
00:09:16.400 --> 00:09:17.840
You can oh go to the playoffs.
00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:19.520
So working hard.
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:27.120
And uh since the coach has confidence and gives your the team, the players confidence, go out there and play and dominate anybody you can go against.
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:28.000
So just keep it up.
00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:29.360
Stay with real quick.
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:34.240
I'm gonna hit you up with that, the the confidence part from a player's perspective.
00:09:34.400 --> 00:09:42.879
What what does that do for the team's confidence when your coach, your head coach, essentially puts the game in your hands and says, go win it?
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.640
Well, he believes in you, so and you believe in yourself too.
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:51.520
So if he believes in you, so it gives you confidence, and you got your team out there playing with you.
00:09:51.680 --> 00:09:53.920
Y'all talk back and forth on the field or on the sideline.
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.000
So that that is gives you a little boost of confidence, and I mean go out there and play with anybody.
00:09:58.080 --> 00:09:58.879
So that's yeah.
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:07.040
Corey, finish the your uh our thoughts or our takeaway about uh your biggest takeaway on this team so far, six games, you know.
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.520
For me, the biggest takeaway might be uh the fans, including myself.
00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:15.840
Uh I've watched this program since I was a kid, and uh it's just different now.
00:10:15.920 --> 00:10:23.680
Um I feel like we've seen so many ways in which we've had uh heartbreaking losses and uh it's turned around.
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:31.920
Uh this is a different thing with Stein, and I think we gotta start thinking more positive and thinking of ways that uh that that that we're gonna win and not ways that that that we're gonna lose.
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:37.360
So for me, the biggest takeaway is the change in the landscape of of our fan base, honestly.
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:37.840
All right.
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:39.600
Let's dive in last night.
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:45.680
Dave Well, I mean, I could come up with all the freaking questions and take, but let's just keep it raw, man.
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:46.960
Um, raw and real.
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:53.040
Yesterday, going into the game, uh, did you I mean we we went went in as nine and a half point underdog.
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:56.960
Um, how how how what was your confidence level going into the game?
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.960
And how did um you know, how did you feel as the game progressed?
00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:07.200
And yeah, I mean, you know, I know we discussed that, you know, before the game happened, you know, everybody was confidence level, you know, what we thought was gonna happen.
00:11:07.280 --> 00:11:08.800
I told you, I was I was extremely confident.
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:11.040
You know, I see no reason why we did not win that game.
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:11.440
No reason.
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:12.400
There was no reason at all.
00:11:12.560 --> 00:11:17.600
I mean, the confidence at the fan base started the first 42 minutes versus Alabama, right?
00:11:17.920 --> 00:11:22.560
And there has been, like I said, there's been nothing to show that we're not a really, really good freaking football team.
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:28.400
You know, uh yeah, LSU went down, they drove her right down to defense, put their heels in, you know, had them to a field go.
00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:30.160
Our very first offensive possession.
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.879
You know, CJ Baxter ran 77 yards.
00:11:33.040 --> 00:11:35.040
Um, and you know, and punched it in needs.
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.440
He has to look at the the uh what do you call the Titans or Tron or whatever?
00:11:39.920 --> 00:11:43.680
Instead of looking over his shoulder, he should need to look at the video board.
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:44.320
I don't know.
00:11:44.400 --> 00:11:49.120
I've never ran 77 yards that quickly, so I don't know how much I would get out of gas.
00:11:49.280 --> 00:11:55.920
But the fact that he turned right back around and punched it in right after that, you know, that just goes to show you right there that they was they was ready for war.
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:01.600
You know, uh the defense did just enough, you know, timely interception of a tip pass, obviously the big fumble.
00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:04.080
Uh they did just enough to held them to the points that they needed to hold to.
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:04.879
Um, yeah.
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:05.840
That's honestly.
00:12:06.160 --> 00:12:07.920
Yeah, TB out of the gate, man.
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.440
Uh, I thought the first quarter, man, it was like, oh, we're in for a show.
00:12:11.520 --> 00:12:12.080
Um right.
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:13.200
That's what that's what happens.
00:12:13.280 --> 00:12:14.879
It's like a a prize fight, right?
00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:22.000
Everybody the the guys come out, they they kind of feel each other out, and and then you you you you you can set the tone for the rest of the game.
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.040
And there was just nothing but a bunch of heavy punches the whole night.
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:29.440
When I really because I did not go into this game confident, I'd be 100%, you know.
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:36.080
Uh, but once LSU started going to the trickery bag, I was like, oh, they can't, they don't think they can do this.
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.320
Yeah, they don't think they can line up and do this.
00:12:38.400 --> 00:12:48.240
Now, I tip my cap that they, you know, they scored on those plays, but if you remember uh a couple years ago, the beatdown of LSU with Coach O, they did they tried some trickery kind of early on.
00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:52.480
It's like, oh, they don't think that they can do this by lining them up.
00:12:52.640 --> 00:12:57.280
Like, and and so that's my takeaway is Kentucky is is is for real.
00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:03.759
Like it's not about what we say, it's not about what the pundits say, it's how are they being coached, right?
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:10.960
And and and for for my money, you know, Kiffen is like, hey, we gotta go deep in the bag because I don't know if we can do this any other way.
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.200
The defense held the LSU running game uh in check most of the night.
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.800
So uh, hey, that's why I said looking forward to the second half of the year.
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.000
I'm feeling pretty good about it.
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:21.200
Um, where's Paul?
00:13:21.280 --> 00:13:22.000
Oh, there he is.
00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:22.480
Okay.
00:13:22.640 --> 00:13:24.080
All right, Paul, timely.
00:13:24.400 --> 00:13:26.080
Um, you're there on the field, man.
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.920
Give give us that vibe, give us what you're feeling in that first quarter has as the Jets were off, man.
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:35.759
I wasn't on the field until the end of the game, uh, but I was in the stadium.
00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:39.360
Uh, we're not allowed on the field until the last couple of minutes.
00:13:39.520 --> 00:13:41.840
Um, but it, I mean, it was it was loud, man.
00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:44.080
It was rocking from it was ready to go.
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:50.640
I think I I I posted a video, like the students' line to get in was half wrapped around the stadium.
00:13:50.800 --> 00:13:55.600
Uh the line to get into the stadium was long, and they were talking about before the gates opened.
00:13:55.680 --> 00:13:58.720
I I think a lot of people were worried about the weather.
00:13:58.800 --> 00:14:04.080
Uh the the tailgate lot was kind of empty up until a certain point, and I was like, it's Keeneland, guys.
00:14:04.160 --> 00:14:08.720
Like you can be inside a lot more in Keelan than you can out sitting in a parking lot.
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.759
By the time I got there, it was pretty packed and it was ready to go.
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:13.280
Like you could just feel the energy.
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:21.759
Uh, I think I think from like wire to wire, it it was probably the most ready that I think I've seen the stadium, uh, probably ever.
00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:25.759
Uh, I mean, look, they've gotten up, it's gotten really loud for Florida, Georgia, Texas.
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:32.080
Um, you know, it's got real loud before, but I think this was like the game that it was like pre-game all the way to the end.
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:38.080
This was a big time football atmosphere with a big time football crowd anticipating a big time win.
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:42.240
And, you know, some people left a little early, and that was really kind of weird.
00:14:42.400 --> 00:14:46.160
Um, some people did were leaving.
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:54.640
And then when they got the turnover, they started running back in, and I was like, no, don't leave your seats to begin with with four minutes left in a three-point game when we have three timeouts plus two minute like stoppage time.
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.879
Like, yeah, yeah, I get better at that dumb shit.
00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:59.200
It wasn't a lot of people, but it was some.
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.520
Uh, but I mean it was just an incredible play.
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:07.920
It was just incredible to be be at uh and share that most of that with people that I'd been sitting with for you know over a decade.
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.560
Oh Trevard, you were there on the field.
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:18.640
Uh just that as the first quarter is happening and the energy, you know, I mean players gotta feel that energy and feed off of it.
00:15:18.800 --> 00:15:22.320
What was that first quarter impression of the first quarter for your first half, actually?
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.480
I said it was like blow for blow.
00:15:24.560 --> 00:15:28.879
They got the ball first, went down and scored, and we got the ball next, had a long run score.
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:34.800
So I say they was like I said earlier, they was filling each other out and just trying to see like what plays they had on the call.
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:42.640
And I said, Oh no, we play good, play dumb dominant, like we did against Alabama, and he just put two halves together and just kept going and rentally won.
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:50.560
So I think well when I first got to the tailgate round about 130, so it was a little empty, but I was saying it's kingling, so that's true.
00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:54.400
Yeah, so round close to the game, crowd started coming in, rain stopped.
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.400
So it was good then went into the stadium.
00:15:56.640 --> 00:16:00.160
Seeing some a lot of people first time saying Topa close, that was full for me.
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:01.600
I just thought that was kind of kind of cool.
00:16:01.680 --> 00:16:11.440
So and but that long run that CJ had, I missed that because at the first drive of LSU game, I went to try to make it back to my seat for got the ball back, but I missed that whole run whole scoring part.
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.440
So oh, so you can't talk about it then.
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.800
No, I was turning it on the TV as I was walking around to my seat.
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:17.759
So uh it was good.
00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:19.920
Crowd was loud and it brought the energy.
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:21.680
Corey, kind of same for you.
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:30.080
Uh right out of the gates, what you what what we saw um from your vantage point and uh the the energy of the crowd.
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:36.160
Uh like they've all said, uh uh pre-game, they give they got there early and they were loud from start to finish.
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.680
I know there's some games where they they start loud and it kind of lulls.
00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:42.560
I guess it mostly depends on how how the team's doing.
00:16:42.640 --> 00:16:45.040
But I mean the whole game, the the crowd brought it.
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:46.240
I was really proud of them.
00:16:46.400 --> 00:16:48.480
Uh I mean I'll I'll I I'll end it.
00:16:48.560 --> 00:17:01.120
Uh heading into the game, I didn't think we we win, but once again, to my first point, I think it's just me at least, or maybe the whole thing based on that, where we we we have to change that mindset and that you know we we can win win these these games now.
00:17:01.280 --> 00:17:08.240
And um I think uh LH was allowing like 12 points a game uh before our game when we had 21 the first half.
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:09.920
So I mean you know it's different.
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:14.400
Um Don and Sloan are calling great great games on offense.
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.000
Uh the most important thing is Kenny's not turning the uh ball over, which is huge.
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:19.519
We got them to turn it over twice.
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:21.279
So um uh it was just it was amazing.
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:26.160
Stay with you, Corey, and I'll work my way back to uh the rest of the guys.
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:35.839
Um uh what impressed you the most about Kentucky's offense last night and what still maybe can still concerns you moving forward?
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:37.680
Uh once against Kenny.
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.559
Uh playing six games, he's turned the ball over once.
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:41.119
Once.
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:43.039
Uh that's the pick six against Bama.
00:17:43.360 --> 00:17:46.799
Um the running game was pretty good overall.
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:48.080
Uh it was pretty good.
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:57.600
I mean, besides the first couple of drives, I think L Shu didn't start to hone in on uh in the box and make any uh beat him with his arm, which he ended up doing.
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:05.600
But so I I do wish that the running game would be uh a little more cleaner for for the whole game, not just the first few drives.
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:18.480
Um uh Darby was pretty quiet uh the first part of the game, but then when it mattered most, he he was huge, uh, which I know it meant a lot for him, obviously uh being from the state and he was originally going to be there.
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:20.000
So I know that was big for him.
00:18:20.080 --> 00:18:23.519
Uh solid um he was paying some pretty hard post-game.
00:18:23.600 --> 00:18:24.480
That's pretty cool to see.
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:30.400
So uh I think if uh just Kenny, uh don't make dumb decisions, which he hasn't.
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:34.720
Uh make the run game a little more cleaner, and I think we're we're good to go.
00:18:35.120 --> 00:18:40.400
Gerard, uh, last night what you saw of the offense and maybe concerns still moving forward.
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.720
So for me, offensive is not too concerning because he, I mean, he Minchy's pretty good.
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:45.680
I mean, he's good.
00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:51.519
And he threw the ball to the receivers, throwing to the tight ends, and and uh running game was still bound with the passing game.
00:18:51.600 --> 00:18:57.519
So as long as we can keep throwing to the tight ends and make other team linebackers safeties guard our tight ends.
00:18:57.600 --> 00:19:01.600
I said we can go out there and compete with anybody, and he throwing to receivers too.
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:04.559
So like in the past, we didn't use the tight end.
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:09.920
So the team didn't really have to guard a tight end that could double the receivers because we don't throw it to the tight ends.
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:17.680
And I said we used all three backs yesterday, which is good because each back has their own running styles and keep the defense guessing on what type of back they are.
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.680
So all in all, the offense is still doing good and keep the defense guessing.
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:23.600
So thought the offense is going good so far.
00:19:23.840 --> 00:19:28.480
Paul, what uh if any uh concerns do you have moving forward with the offense?
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:38.240
I don't really have any concerns because like we've seen that you know, we've seen time and time again now after the Alabama game, where if they go through a stretch where they're struggling, they figure it out.
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:48.480
Um, you know, if the running game's not going, Mitchie's I mean, listen, like if you look at the stats and where they were to start the game and where they were to end the game, I mean, we basically played, I mean, it basically went level.
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.160
I mean, I think they barely got us in time as a possession, barely got us on passing yards.
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.559
We outrushed them by, I think, almost two to one.
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:58.240
Um, when we need to cur to crank it, we we find a way.
00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:01.759
So I'm not really concerned about anything when I like to see us start faster.
00:20:01.840 --> 00:20:02.160
Yes.
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:10.960
I think I think the thing that I would say what should concern every other team around the country is this team still has two top 10 wins and has not played four quarters of football yet.
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.600
If this team figures out how to play four quarters of football, watch out because they're going to do it.
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:17.440
Well, they will figure it out against someone.
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:23.600
And if they do that with what we've seen already, like they're gonna 50 piece a team that will shock someone.
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:30.640
Like whether it's uh, you know, I and I know everybody's if they're in the chat listening to zone, please God, go to Knoxville and just do one.
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.039
Like just walk in there and beat the brakes off them.
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:34.799
Maybe it's there, maybe it's Missouri.
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:35.840
So I'm not worried.
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:44.720
I guess the only thing I get you could say just for the the talking point is like I'm worried that some if you like maybe they're too slow and they can't come back, like they've played with fire a little bit, but they figured it out.
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:57.440
Um, but at the same time, like until I'm proven otherwise, there's not a whole lot that I'm gonna sit here and just kind of go crazy about because no matter how bad the stats seem to be, they always seem to even out, they always seem to like hit the gas, figure it out, and then just go on a tear.
00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:59.840
So, but once they do figure it out, they're hard to stop.
00:21:00.080 --> 00:21:01.120
TB, same for you.
00:21:01.360 --> 00:21:04.240
Any uh concerns right now as we move forward?
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:04.640
None?
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:06.720
They're they're five, they're five and one.
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:08.880
Like I said, they've they've they've figured it out.
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:12.640
They don't let bad plays uh you know multiply.
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:18.880
And uh the way Coach Stein coached up the kicker after those two misses, we're gonna need you again, right?
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:24.319
Like that's coach because I know for my timeline, me personally, some others, like can't send that kid back out there, right?
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:28.080
So they they they know that they can win a game, which is important.
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.000
You know, they're playing uh high level.
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.240
I'm not saying that they're gonna run the table, but as a concern, I'm I'm not too concerned.
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:35.600
What about you, Tabo?
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:38.000
Um, offense, no concern at all.
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:43.840
Um, but I like how the fake quote that got put up in the LSU facility got proven right.
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:46.160
You know, they were not ready for our offensive line.
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:50.000
Um, you know, I think LSU is averaging like giving up like 55 yards a game.
00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:53.600
And the very first play of the game, they gave up 77 on one run.
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:55.759
Um, so I mean, kudos to the offensive line.
00:21:55.840 --> 00:22:00.960
Uh, you know, all we heard all week coming to this game was how LSU's defensive line had 22 sacks or whatever.
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.680
You know, didn't get one on Kenny, I don't believe.
00:22:03.840 --> 00:22:09.039
Um, I think I think the only thing that I'm a little concerned about is depth, of course, with injuries.
00:22:09.120 --> 00:22:11.680
Um, and then the biggest thing is just fundamentals.
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.680
You know, there were so many times where we got to Levitt and got our hands on him, but just didn't get him down.
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.400
You know, so they gotta they got they gotta they gotta finish the tackle.
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.360
Well, let's let's let's segue to the defense.
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:24.640
Um keep going if your your takes on the well no, I mean that that's it.
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:30.000
I mean against you know Alabama, you know, got him got him got got him rushing, he got away.
00:22:30.080 --> 00:22:30.640
You know what I mean?
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:36.000
Against Reed, same thing, got a rush, got to Levin, got you know, Norris got him back many times, but he got away.
00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:42.400
So if they can just learn to finish the tackles, like they're gonna be a ton more TFLs in this game for us.
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:45.759
So we only held LSU to what 10 in the second half though, right?
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:46.160
Yeah.
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:46.559
Yeah.
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:50.319
Well I'm I'm talking about more so you know the way he can run around in the first half.
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:52.319
You know, he caused a lot of problems in that first half.
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:59.039
So caused a lot of problems on ourselves playing that stupid ass soft zone that they kept throwing the underneath to and getting 10 or 12 yards.
00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:01.039
They were killing us on the boundaries.
00:23:01.120 --> 00:23:02.160
The boundary was killing us.
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.640
Levitt really didn't kill us with his legs that's the thing.
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:09.840
I mean like I told you guys last week right like he'll he'll he'll slow chop you to death but they didn't even rush for 100 yards.
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:16.880
So I mean like he he had some moments I of course but they killed us on that zone and like that's it like we got to stop that soft zone.
00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:18.720
Everyone has killed us on that soft zone.
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:28.559
It's never we're actually probably the best at man with maybe like a floating safety or something like that or even playing like a cover two a man cover two we are terrible in zone.
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:29.519
It's not even close.
00:23:29.600 --> 00:23:30.160
It's not good.
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:32.000
How many we're not a good zone team.
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:37.840
How many guys were we down yesterday injury wise defensively on defense?
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:40.799
Yeah was that played significant minutes three?
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:51.840
Yeah I was gonna say four I think yeah Wallace Smith and Afari I think those were the three that because Antoine Smith didn't really play a ton played a little bit but not a lot.
00:23:52.080 --> 00:23:58.559
I mean poor Sam Green like he played like every single snap man our D line played I thought really well last night.
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:03.600
Yeah TB uh the defense what do you what did you see last night?
00:24:03.840 --> 00:24:25.279
You know uh again like we've talked about there's gonna be stretches where it's not gonna look great and like Paul said we want to play the four quarters but they're they're they're still learning how to win right like I I think I'm I'm not uh an X's and O's kind of person but I do see that soft zone not working right but I don't know if you can play it how much can you can you play man across the board so I just think we're gonna see some times where the other team's gonna score points.
00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:26.400
Like that's just the way it goes.
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.600
We're not gonna be the 2000 Ravens and shut teams out like that.
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:35.360
But they're made just enough plays the defensive line put just enough pressure and got a win.
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:37.279
So you know that's a win in my book.
00:24:37.920 --> 00:25:24.000
Trevard uh defensively what'd you see last night and uh what about what's talk talk us through is you're you're being a former player and and you see how we were kind of getting dismantled the zone of ours uh but yeah go ahead your defensive thoughts from last night say the defense didn't play too bad because I mean Levy he's uh I mean he can't run the ball so you is he still is he still dealing with a hamstring or something or yeah didn't look like it yeah you're still running like he the leg was good yeah so but with a running quarterback you don't want to play too much man because they say you're playing man they'll just change the play you'll just tell the quarterback just run tell the receiver this run goes and this quarterback just get out the pocket and take off running so for that you have to play zone and play man from time to time and just live with it.
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:33.600
But far as those little passage they was run they would just run like like a back or receiver to the sideline just sit them there and nothing open downfield that's telling us to throw to that guy who's open.
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:36.880
So as far as that you gotta come up and make the tackle and just live with it.
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:40.720
But you don't want to play too much zone I mean too much too much man against him.
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:42.000
So it'll just run the ball on it.
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:51.120
But I guess we need we have to do a better job of tackling them and uh they're trying to pass so that's that's my only concern like that as far as going against a run and running quarterback.
00:25:51.440 --> 00:28:52.160
Corey finish uh the defensive uh takes from last night I think the biggest thing is uh they made him turn the ball over twice and and you know uh made him turn over yeah and uh when it's a a close game I mean that that's the difference right there I mean we were plus two that was huge uh I think the uh the D Line was great we had three sacks I think eight tackle for loss that's 11 miles plays I mean 10 in a in a close game that that's what matters uh obviously the pass defense needs some work but I think the the run defense has been the most surprising to me honestly yeah uh and then you had uh that punt return Davo that was a pretty simple that was I don't know that has to rank up there for me uh on some of the best uh uh punt returns uh and he he's wearing 12 so yeah if you're familiar with Derek Abney the uh um I don't know what's uh yeah the punt return Davo your take on yeah it was just it was just another shot in the arm you know for the energy in the stadium uh yeah he definitely did Derek Abney proud wearing that 12 against LSC running the punt return back right um yeah I mean kudos to the staffer in the black shirt who was blocking the view of the camera uh where his foot could have or could have not gone out barely very close yeah um no it was just it was just another you know I saw lots of green I don't know what you're talking about yeah well you know yeah me too subjectively I did too um no yeah it was just another shot in the arm for the crowd and the energy in the stadium uh it takes three it takes office defense special teams special teams we got a couple little questions for later on but yeah I mean other than that I mean that's how you win ball games it takes it it it takes all uh TB jump in that yeah pump returns again it was a great play those the kind of plays that you need to win uh as I've been uh saying on this show for years the margins are so thin in college football you've got like three or four great teams every year four or five bottom teams and everybody else it's winning the turnover battle it's getting uh special teams turnover it's the margins are so thin between a 10 win season and a 10 loss season so you need every little thing you can get uh on your ledger uh did you actually get to see the punt return uh travel oh yeah i was i was in my seat for that so yeah i got i got a chance to see that and probably know uh special team is a great way to flip a game real quick and get the momentum either against you or with so with this with the punt it was a nice nice return and i'm hoping like you said earlier that the guy blocked his foot on the side line you couldn't see it so that was that was kind of nice corey from uh your uh your view viewing uh in the bot what was that uh punt return like it was amazing you know uh Brock the season's been a little frustrating and not not bad it's a little frustrating in in in punt returns his uh stiff form was amazing uh I mean honestly he he should have had no return at all but uh this room to remote this threw that guy off him and went out uh I'm I'm happy for him he's a he's a kid from Lexington went to small schools there so I was thrilled for it.
00:28:52.400 --> 00:29:27.519
So let's see we got some questions here may throw these out Paul you I think you kind of responded this question here when when do we think uh we see the first recruit uh commit slash flip you said soon can you elaborate I think there's it's a long list right now it's a long list um there's a very good shot we end up with multiple five stars in this class which I don't think we've ever done um I wouldn't be if this isn't a top 10 class I'd probably be surprised um it's got a shot to be way up there um uh Narot is I think we'll probably end up being a five star.
00:29:27.600 --> 00:29:42.559
I know he's already committed uh but you got Kellen Hall he's another five star number two player in America he sh well you sure look like he enjoyed rocking blue and white last night um I think Kentucky's in really good shape for him uh there's a couple other guys listen I'm just gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna die on the hill.
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:56.319
I don't care if Jihad Brown came here didn't come here or what you know I'm surprised no one tweeted at him and said see look what Vince Merrow made you miss out on like that experience of just the game even if you don't come here right like how cool would it be like if you just left football how cool would it have been there.
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:06.559
I think there's a lot of guys right now and yesterday put it on notice and I you know there's probably guys there yesterday we don't even know about or we just didn't pay attention to because it was game day and everything that was going on.
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:31.759
So I think it's gonna be close I think it's very soon you'll probably start seeing some of these guys I wouldn't be surprised if Kellen Hall was the first kind of big big domino to fall uh but you're gonna see some dudes come here um what's terrifying I don't mean this disrespectfully this might be the this will probably be the worst team Stein has tower wise it is or depth wise I don't even I'm not even gonna say we're not talented I'm not gonna even say some of the young guys aren't talented just the in like just depth and inexperience.
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:53.360
Like I think uh JD Pinkel said this today it's just like he even said what happens in two years when Kentucky has like an elite roster and this guy's coaching right like so this is like it's oh it's funny it's like this is the year like you're gonna get us you might want to get us now because you might not get us in a couple moving forward it's really exciting to see because obviously one thing we're we're seeing is Will Stein's a hell of a coach.
00:30:53.840 --> 00:31:00.559
And when we get more talent in here we have more depth I think it's gonna and and even you know even Bateman I think is a really good defensive coordinator.
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:38.000
I think we're just work working with what we have we don't have you know we're just don't have the depth I think to play some ways that he wants to when that happens and that's no disrespect again to the players we have a really good football team we have really good players on our team but when you have two or three deep and you can run a lot run more aggressive it this team's gonna be scary and fun to watch you know there was there was a big LSU account that said you know calm down this is Lane's first year at LSU like he'll get us there and I'm like um so we're gonna forget that this is Will Stein's first year UK um we're gonna forget this is his first time ever being a head coach we're gonna forget this whose roster would you have rather inherited three weeks almost I mean what are we talking about here?
00:31:38.240 --> 00:32:33.920
That's a good take say that again Paul whose roster would you rather would you have rather inherited if you were coming into this into this right now right would you have rather inherited our roster or LSU's roster not not who you brought in but inherited right um I mean Stu's didn't leave you know Will Stein with a bunch of scrubs by any means but I mean we're just talking about conspiracy coaching wise too we got 10 new starters on offense and half the defense so I mean like I get I get people say that but when you look at the starters yeah the D line was what we we wasn't covered at empty but we had to go basically get a whole new secondary linebacking core I mean so like I'm and that's not a shot at Mark Stoops but he we definitely had a lot more that we had to on the holes to fill than than LSU would have yeah and the fact we beat them with a 40 million dollar roster with a first year head coach you know shut up excuses i'm drinking my I'm drinking my whiskey now by the way because I didn't get to have any last night so this is my celebration drinks.
00:32:34.080 --> 00:33:09.440
All right let's keep celebrating well here's one one celebration core I'll start with you Kentucky's now ranked 15th in the country is this about where uh the this team belongs or do you do you think the cats are actually better than that rank I mean if you went strictly off resume uh I think we're we have I'm definitely a top 10 resume honestly I think people still see the name on the front of the the jersey and think I don't know but I mean beating two top 10 teams or top 10 at at the time right our only losses to a really good Bama team.
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:12.000
I I I think it's a top 10 resume.
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:17.440
I think if they handle their business in Norman on Saturday I think they will probably make the the uh top 10.
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:31.759
Uh Travard the 15th ranking you good with it well of course I say we're a top 10 team if we look at the resume and the teams we play compared to a lot of other teams well for me outside SEC so I say we're better than a lot of teams up there.
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:36.400
I'll just keep it at that Paul 15 feeling it is a two parter.
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:41.360
The fact that we weren't ranked and went to 15 I'm happy with because I think that we could it could have been worse.
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:44.640
On the flip side we should have been freaking ranked and we should be higher.
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:54.720
I agree with Corey we have a top 10 right we're the only team the country with two top 10 wins period I don't care people want oh well look at them now it doesn't matter what the number is next to them is what counts on your resume.
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:59.920
That's the number that you get credit for like shut up that's the way it's been for forever you know whatever.
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:01.519
I don't do Louisville math here.
00:34:01.600 --> 00:34:20.559
I just know what the number was when we beat them so I think we are I think when you look at the college football playoff rankings that they do like a projection ESPN has is at 12 right now I I think that would be more I can I can I think 15's a little low 12 I could stomach because you got a lot of teams kind of bunched right now like that separation will naturally happen.
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:23.199
So I I think we're better than Tennessee.
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:48.319
I mean they look like I mean I think SEC Mike said I don't listen to him he said they're hot ass garbage uh which is funny to hear uh so yeah I'm all right with it uh because at the end of the day they win the next two games like Corey Corey said we'll go into Tennessee top 10 uh because you'll also go that'll be the first we'll also get in the first college football playoff ranking so if you go seven and oh you're probably looking at a top top seven Kentucky team would be going into Knoxville there maybe I don't know if that's ever happened.
00:34:48.399 --> 00:34:52.879
Corey would not when does when do the first rankings come out?
00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:56.480
November the we the first week at the first week of November.
00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:56.879
Okay.
00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:58.639
Like that first Monday or Tuesday.
00:34:58.799 --> 00:35:07.759
Usually it's like isn't it like election night like they have it like sometimes where it's like they'll do that during like coverage or something on a Tuesday something random where they do like a double dip.
00:35:07.919 --> 00:35:10.559
Like yeah so I think it's I think it's that first Tuesday in November.
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:19.919
I don't know about you guys if if the first rankings come out and our logo is one of those numbers um I mean we're already getting projected now.
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:47.199
Yeah so but to actually see um we've seen it before I want to see it again I sh I shared that screenshot with you uh I've I've seen it before you know there's the uh uh CFP rankings years and years ago uh we were number nine and the Ohio State University was ranked number 10 in the country that's right so we've we've we've seen it definitely I want to see it again but if pe you know a lot of people like I've never seen this are you 12 or do you have memory issues because I've seen it.
00:35:47.279 --> 00:35:49.519
So I'm I'm excited we're we're back there again.
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:53.039
Yep I mean we were top 10 when we played Georgia also here in 17.
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:57.279
So I think you had like that 17 year we were in in the rankings I think that's what you're talking about.
00:35:57.359 --> 00:36:02.239
And then also we were seventh in the nation in uh in 21 or 22.
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:12.399
Well according to Corey Price 2021 was the last time Kentucky made this big jump in the poll it's so awesome when we can quote Corey to his face.
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:23.439
You know my thing is like I'm excited but like we've been here we we we've absolutely been here before on the way to a 10-win season so I think we need to keep that in mind as well like I I love what Will Stein's doing year one.
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:48.639
It's phenomenal but you know we I think we do a disservice to the guys like Travard when we are like stuck in the moment best ever greatest ever and a lot of a lot of coaches put in a lot of work to get Kentucky from those two-win teams those one win teams of uh the Van Hiles era in those 90s it it's not a linear pursuit and so I do think we need to tip the hat to the folks that's why I'm glad Coach Brooks was back.
00:36:48.799 --> 00:36:53.119
I'm glad we recognize that 017 I'm glad the Power K is back.
00:36:53.199 --> 00:37:19.039
Like I get it the wins and losses haven't always been there but great people have played for and coached at the University of Kentucky and so when we get wrapped up in this best ever I think it does them a disservice right like like Paul was talking about the Grove Street moment against South Carolina you know the Bud Dupree game like we have absolutely had moments and so I think we can appreciate the present look toward the future but also look back on the past a little bit.
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:25.039
And Travard's team is the only team that's gotten college game day so I mean shout out to to Trey's team on that one.
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:30.079
I I I hit it I sledgehammered a car painted in orange and blue that morning.
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:39.119
So what we were young men back there back then Trey we were young men we were excited we were just happy to be there.
00:37:39.279 --> 00:37:41.759
Nice here's what you go huh?
00:37:41.839 --> 00:37:55.039
So you went on stage what'd you uh not not that day because you guys didn't win but we don't want to talk about that almost got into a fight though against a Florida fan I will say so back in my younger days when I had a bigger bigger mouth than I do now.
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:57.359
State street becomes a thing.
00:37:57.439 --> 00:38:02.960
I know I'm dating myself but I don't know what became the thing because it it wasn't that when I was there.
00:38:03.199 --> 00:40:10.639
I know what I was saying in school I mean we heard about it but I guess it started to become a become a thing then it was Woodland and Euclid was it 12 the title yeah was it the title year or was it I know they went to State Street then but I'm just saying you know when I was it the final four run with Knight uh I was uh 2012 where State Street was packed look like Project the movie yeah it was it was crazy it was the spot I'd never been down there we we actually joked about going out and getting some content and then I was just like you know it came out of my mouth and I realized I'm almost 41 years old with three kids it's time to go home like it's like I want some canes and I want my house out Corey you're smiling during this whole talk what do you you remember you remembering something something you want to share uh no uh I was pretty tame in college I I'll really admit I was a uh geek so I I didn't do a lot of uh the uh extra uh after game stuff uh but I mean I I do know that uh my fellow students had had some fun um here's a question Dave Bo in your old opinion do we have an argument to be ranked ahead of of all SEC teams besides Georgia Bama and Texas well considering it goes Georgia Alabama Kentucky in the rankings I would say yes yes exactly what is Missouri Missouri's fourth yeah I mean their loss is worse than ours when you look at like head to head records and all that other stuff yeah what are they what's Missouri ranked right now 13 like okay yeah if if if you're talking straight resumes right as as we keep saying you know uh Missouri is gonna be a a tough out even though we have luck there and at Mizzou right but you got Tennessee with a burning fashion I I didn't even want to talk about it but the the the the last two games at Auburn bottom feeder and SEC they've struggled at home they went to Arkansas Arkansas is well trash you know they they they struggle to beat them so you you have an argument over there and you're talking about best wins anyways we should we should jump them um Missouri we go head to head with them pretty soon I can't I can't speak too much about you know the the what teams out out west because I I don't stay up that late to watch them and B I don't know much about them.
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:17.759
You know UCLA and Utah um but I mean other than that you got old miss at number nine which doesn't make a ton of sense.
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:44.639
Yeah I mean we have I'm just gonna keep repeating everybody else we have a top 10 resume um and I think we're gonna have an another chance to prove that in an in another tough ass environment in Norman like Oklahoma team and just knock out the number one team in the nation we're gonna have another chance to prove that so and they probably I don't know they they they are what a two loss team Corey Oklahoma um yes yeah and but they didn't even after that win they didn't crack the top 25.
00:40:44.799 --> 00:40:54.239
I get it it's a rivalry but I mean there's probably you know the team or you know they can use that for bulletin board material too or you know to help motivate them.
00:40:54.319 --> 00:41:35.279
But um give us uh you know from last night um and maybe through the six six games Corey give us some of your favorite stats of putting you on the spot uh it's like asking who my uh favorite kid is you know it's tough um I was gonna say uh but I think uh I think Minchie he's throwing 178 passes just one pick um that hasn't been done since uh Maxwell Smith in 2013 uh he'll uh Maxwell only threw like 183 passes out the whole year so he goes at least six passes without pick and Norman though to be the first and maybe since Woodson in uh oh seven so what was Woodson didn't what was Woodson's record do you remember uh 325.
00:41:35.519 --> 00:42:37.919
Yeah yeah that was uh what was it was it like the first one he threw against uh Florida Florida yeah Atlantic yep yeah so uh I mean I mean as a further starter uh I'm glad that uh the Irish didn't demo him uh thank you for that uh he is phenomenal I think in in my opinion so he doesn't turn the ball over so he get he always gives our our team a chance to win so for me it's it's it's playing Minchie you know staying with Minchie uh Corey uh you know we've I've talked about this on every show uh uh from youngstown state even to last night the last play the dude just is calm he's poised he he doesn't look rattled and and you know for the for the game to end the way it did I was like you know what six games in I'm glad he got to be that guy to uh yeah to to to get the win for us um anybody else uh want to talk Minchie or when do we start when does Minchie start getting mentioned for Heisman because I actually started to hear a couple national guys start to say it's not impossible.
00:42:38.079 --> 00:43:20.559
Um and when you look he's 1300 yards 11 TDs one interception if that goes out I guarantee you Corey probably already has the math of what that equates to over like the next six games you probably could just spit it out probably like 28 touchdowns three picks and 3000 yards but if like it let's say it's like he goes 10 and 1 or 10 and 2 or 11 and 1 it's it would be a stretch that I think you would win because I think you've got guys like Malachi Tony and and Darien Mensa um uh the kid from uh the kid from Ohio State like these guys are so like mentioned like like so much but I don't know if it's impossible or out of the realm of possibility that he could eat you know he's in the conversation to be on the stage especially if they go like you know 10 and 2 11 and 1.
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:25.439
Huh anybody thoughts on that Minchy uh with a Heisman contender?
00:43:26.159 --> 00:44:02.079
For me he we have the uh key winning for him to well of course get noticed I'm just happy he came in I mean as right now he shouldn't be talked about since we only have one loss to Bamba so he should be talked about a lot more today unfortunately so my bad my bad T's I I was just happy he came in as a as a transfer being a first year you know major college uh starting quarterback and learning an all new system in a whole different place and he's being an incredible game manager at this point um and he has a whole nother year you know it's kind of yeah even even better learning more and more so you know if he doesn't get it this year and he can take another better stab at it next year.
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:04.799
I will say this Daveo I think that's a good point.
00:44:04.879 --> 00:44:12.480
Like I think that if I think no matter what he's in he's probably preseason top ten and like he's a preseason Heisman contender next year.
00:44:12.559 --> 00:44:32.079
I think almost probably no matter what he probably is Darry might be as well by the way I'm T uh T B um any final thoughts on Minchie Oh I mean he was cool under pressure you mean the the throws and the catches it when we had to have him right like you know uh just he's cool and calm.
00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:41.279
And I don't know if he'll crack the uh the the Heisman this year but definitely you know he's he could be preseason all SC DC next year uh as we move forward.
00:44:41.919 --> 00:44:42.239
Yeah.
00:44:42.399 --> 00:44:52.079
I was gonna I was gonna say good my bad Paul whenever Darby did that celebration, you know, he did that jig, which is like huge down there, a part of their culture down there in Louisiana.
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:55.359
So, like, that was that was an awesome troll job on the I was right there, man.
00:44:55.439 --> 00:44:56.000
That was so great.
00:44:56.159 --> 00:44:56.559
That was amazing.
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:02.159
I like the TB makes a good point, real quick, about like guys like making the plays when you have to.
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:09.599
I think that's been one of the things that we've lacked the last couple of years is like when when we needed it, we just didn't have the dudes that would do it.
00:45:09.759 --> 00:45:14.879
And you saw Darby didn't have a great game the whole game, but when you needed it, what did the dude do?
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:17.279
He showed up that catch and spin.
00:45:17.359 --> 00:45:18.399
You can't teach that.
00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:20.879
He just instinctively caught and spin out of attack.
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:23.599
Like, like I don't know if you've ever been around Kenny Darby.
00:45:23.759 --> 00:45:28.799
The dude is not that big, and the fact that he did that and then carried four dudes down to the one yard line.
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:33.279
That yeah, he is a he is an un amazing kid to talk to.
00:45:33.439 --> 00:45:39.359
He is he is I again I mean this lovely, lovingly, he's dumb to the uh to like the pressure around him.
00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:46.399
He doesn't care, he loves life, he's a cool, he's a great young man, he's very fun, he's energetic, he smiles all the time.
00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:52.719
But this guy, like this guy has got the dog in him that that play, oh my god.
00:45:52.879 --> 00:45:56.480
Um, he's gonna be freshman all-american if he keeps this up, by the way.
00:45:56.799 --> 00:45:57.279
I don't know.
00:45:57.439 --> 00:45:59.519
Again, we'll go to Corey, and Corey's just like, shut up.
00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:02.000
Like, I'm never coming on the show again because everybody thinks I know it all.
00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:04.480
I don't know the last time Kitsaki's had a freshman all-american.
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:05.199
Corey.
00:46:05.439 --> 00:46:08.000
Uh off the top of the head, I would I would have to look it up.
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:11.759
But uh uh maybe Barry on Brown, maybe as a returner.
00:46:11.839 --> 00:46:12.639
I don't know, possibly.
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:14.000
Okay, all right.
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:17.519
Uh you know, last night, man.
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:19.119
Um Dayon Walker.
00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:21.119
You know, oh course makes sense.
00:46:21.359 --> 00:46:22.159
He's killing it.
00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:23.919
That does make sense.
00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:32.960
Um, you know, last night when we got that final uh LSU punted, we had that uh our final possession in regulation.
00:46:33.199 --> 00:46:41.439
I'm looking at the scoreboard and I'm thinking to myself, holy shit, are we going to get is this deja vu all over again?
00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:45.279
We're gonna get a repeat from the from the South Carolina game.
00:46:45.439 --> 00:46:49.679
And I was like, remember when I said thought that to myself, I was like kind of getting chills.
00:46:49.759 --> 00:46:54.079
I'm like, oh shit, this could be in this and it what happened?
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:56.319
I mean, this is this is nuts, man.
00:46:56.399 --> 00:46:58.319
Uh the these two games, man.
00:46:58.399 --> 00:47:00.559
Uh, I think last night I'll speak for me, man.
00:47:00.799 --> 00:47:04.319
I was emotionally, I was so excited, so happy.
00:47:04.480 --> 00:47:06.480
Uh, but I was just trained, man.
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:08.559
Um good stuff, good stuff.
00:47:08.799 --> 00:47:12.639
Um six games in uh to the season.
00:47:12.799 --> 00:47:20.319
Uh Daivo, how much has Wills Coach Stein changed the expectations for Kentucky football?
00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:24.960
Uh I think it just kind of depends on what your expectations were coming into the season.
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:26.879
Um let's be fair.
00:47:26.960 --> 00:47:31.519
I I think we we all did our uh picks or you know predictions.
00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:36.719
Um, you know, I had probably I think I was at six and six.
00:47:36.799 --> 00:47:38.319
Um yeah, I had seven and five.
00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:38.799
Yeah.
00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:41.519
And I think Paul, you were what, what, nine and three?
00:47:42.319 --> 00:47:43.279
I said eight and four.
00:47:43.439 --> 00:47:47.519
I but remember I said eight and four, but that was before the season started.
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:50.319
And I said I wouldn't be shocked if it was better.
00:47:50.639 --> 00:48:06.879
I mean I mean, I think the best part about the expectations was so much of the national media, you know, was so quick to shit on the fact that he was uh rookie head coach and the schedule and yada yada yada, not really knowing how the teams were gonna be whenever we actually played them and how well we were gonna be.
00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:11.599
I think a lot of it was like I saw some two and tens, three and nines, some you know, four and eight, whatever.
00:48:11.679 --> 00:48:16.639
You know, and and not not putting any respect at all on the fact that who he was as an offensive coordinator.
00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:24.319
And you're kind of seeing that now the way Oregon's playing without him, you know, and and who he coached the quarterback and the way he ran his offense and the mastermind he is.
00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:27.439
I just don't think they they put two and two and two and two together.
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:28.480
You know what I mean?
00:48:28.639 --> 00:48:30.960
Um, he's he's changed the expectations.
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:33.599
He's changed a lot of the way the fans are coming to the games.
00:48:33.759 --> 00:48:35.359
He's changing a lot of things right now.
00:48:35.519 --> 00:48:46.239
And like Paul said, and like I said all the time, this very well could be his worst team, you know, as far as like completing the other team from, you know, one to depth four, you know.
00:48:46.319 --> 00:48:47.279
Um, so yeah.
00:48:47.599 --> 00:49:05.439
TB during that uh presser, his opening presser, um, you know, he famous, infamous line about uh outside of the outside of BBN, you know, people were were kind of uh laughing or shaking their heads when he made the statement that he would be the reason why uh we would win.
00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:06.960
Hard to argue that now, man.
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:08.719
Well, and I that's what I said earlier.
00:49:08.799 --> 00:49:10.399
You know, he's he's walking the talk.
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:11.599
He said he came here to win.
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:17.919
And whenever you see uh a team that that's not very good, that second-tier team, you know, kind of break through that ceiling.
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:26.239
I'm talking about college football historically, you need uh a person with a little bit of hoot spa to like to to get things rolling, right?
00:49:26.319 --> 00:49:31.919
Like I'm old enough to remember Howard Schnellenberger getting to the University of Miami, who was terrible, and he turned that around.
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:35.599
You know, I give uh my props to what he did at Louisville.
00:49:35.759 --> 00:49:39.039
Like I remember what U of L was growing up and where they are now.
00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:46.000
I don't like to give too much props, but it takes uh a coach with the backing of the university to really make that turn.
00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:57.359
And and Will Stein appears to be that guy that can go from take the program from second tier to a top tier, you know, eight, nine win perennial team, which is not a bad place to be, right?
00:49:57.519 --> 00:50:00.879
So uh I'm I'm very confident that he's able to do that.
00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:09.679
Well, it's time to talk a little bit about the Oklahoma matchup Saturday, and we've got a boomer sooner in the chat.
00:50:09.759 --> 00:50:15.679
Um, well, thanks for hanging with us on a Sunday night here talking Kentucky Sports, Kentucky football.
00:50:15.919 --> 00:50:17.599
Corey, I'm gonna start with you.
00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:22.159
Uh, you know, Oklahoma, big, big time uh win Saturday.
00:50:22.399 --> 00:50:28.799
Um this concerns, what's your maybe the biggest concern heading into this matchup?
00:50:29.439 --> 00:50:32.480
Uh probably it's uncertainty with Norman.
00:50:32.559 --> 00:50:34.399
We've only played there once since 1980.
00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:44.000
So uh not gonna know uh I'm I'm going in as as a fan, I'm not working the game as a fan, so I'm pretty excited to see how how the crowd's gonna be.
00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:48.480
Um uh numbers wise, uh on offense, they're not good.
00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:51.359
I think they're in the bottom 20 or 30 in all major stats.
00:50:51.679 --> 00:50:53.039
They're not good on offense at all.
00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:56.719
Yeah, so um, you know, uh, I think we just went with this game.
00:50:56.879 --> 00:51:03.359
If we can turn if we can turn them over uh and and you know, can he make smart choices with with the ball?
00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:05.439
I think we can leave w with the win.
00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:07.599
In uh what's the spread?
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:08.639
Did the spread already come out?
00:51:09.359 --> 00:51:10.319
It was six and a half.
00:51:10.399 --> 00:51:18.960
I'm gonna check now that the rankings and everything are out, but it was Oklahoma minus six and a half, which I was which I'm I'm good, I'm I'm good with, but it's now seven.
00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:20.719
Seven, yep.
00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:23.279
So uh thank you for the free money.
00:51:23.439 --> 00:51:24.639
I will be betting that.
00:51:24.879 --> 00:51:27.919
Um real quick, Maria asked Corey Corey.
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:31.759
Uh, does Corey have any have stats on game day superstitions?
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:33.679
Stats on superstitions?
00:51:33.839 --> 00:51:34.079
Yeah.
00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:36.480
I'm not sure I I don't think it means.
00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:38.639
Um, like I uh no obviously stats.
00:51:39.039 --> 00:51:41.519
I like you can elaborate where we come back to that.
00:51:41.759 --> 00:51:44.719
Uh Trevard, heading into Norman.
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:46.719
Uh what's maybe concerns?
00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:51.359
I mean, one thing I know about their team is the quarterback isn't to me, he's not that bad.
00:51:51.439 --> 00:51:54.319
He's uh another running quarterback who can get out there and scramble.
00:51:54.399 --> 00:51:58.960
So he's gotta uh keep him contained and if he is the scramble, we've gotta hit him.
00:51:59.119 --> 00:52:00.879
Like we couldn't do the basketball quarterback.
00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:06.639
So just try to keep him contained, hit him when he runs, and just often keep doing what they're doing.
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:08.480
I think we'd be uh be doing pretty good.
00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:14.319
Um, maybe Paul, uh a possible emotional letdown.
00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:22.319
I I'm really actually happy that Oklahoma won because I think what you have now is two teams that are coming off super emotional wins that both teams are gonna have that issue.
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:26.719
Uh, you have Oklahoma coming off a win against their rival Texas in the Red River shootout.
00:52:26.799 --> 00:52:29.119
Obviously, you have Kentucky coming off the win against LSU.
00:52:29.359 --> 00:52:38.399
I think I would have been a lot more worried about this game going into it if I would have seen that it was like Kentucky coming off a win and Oklahoma maybe got smacked like a lot of people thought would happen.
00:52:38.559 --> 00:52:42.719
Uh I think that both of those are kind of an even keel now.
00:52:42.799 --> 00:52:52.960
Um now I think Kentucky's gonna have the you're gonna Kentucky will be attentive, like they'll know what they're know what they're walking into with this one because you you know this team just beat the number one team in the country.
00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:56.799
Um I think offensively we we're probably more efficient than Texas is.
00:52:56.879 --> 00:52:59.599
If we don't turn the ball over, I really do like our chances.
00:52:59.759 --> 00:53:05.199
I don't I don't think I I don't think that that Oklahoma could win in a shootout with us.
00:53:05.279 --> 00:53:11.119
I think if we score 24 plus, we have a really good shot to win, but they do have a really good defense.
00:53:11.279 --> 00:53:15.839
Like I will say, this might be the third or fourth best defense we play all season.
00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:23.119
Um obviously you're gonna have Oklahoma and LSG would put above them in terms of defensive speed and and and stuff, but they're very disciplined.
00:53:23.279 --> 00:53:25.919
Brett Pedivos is a phenomenal defensive coach.
00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:30.559
If he wasn't the coach there, he'd probably be the number one defensive coordinator in the country like he was at Clemson.
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:33.519
Uh so I'm not worried about anything specifically.
00:53:33.599 --> 00:53:41.279
Uh, I think it just it it enhances the game now that Oklahoma is coming off this win, but both teams now have to kind of pick themselves back up off this.
00:53:41.439 --> 00:53:42.559
This is the SEC, right?
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:44.319
What have you seen now time and time again?
00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:46.079
It's and it is it's interesting, right?
00:53:46.159 --> 00:53:49.439
Because in this matchup, you've got two SEC teams that are coming off big wins.
00:53:49.519 --> 00:53:51.519
And it that really hasn't happened in the league yet.
00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:55.359
You'll have a team like Florida coming off a big win, and then they get punched in the mouth.
00:53:55.519 --> 00:54:01.039
You've had teams coming off bad losses like South Carolina and Florida, and then Florida got punched in the mouth again.
00:54:01.119 --> 00:54:06.079
So it'll be interesting to see because you've seen a lot of like win, loss, big win, big loss.
00:54:06.159 --> 00:54:12.079
It'll be interesting to see now how both these teams are, and I'll say a lot about the mental fortitude and head and coaching of Kentucky in this game.
00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:13.919
I think that's a great, great points.
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:18.480
TB, uh concerns uh heading into next weekend.
00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:21.839
Obviously, that the hangover, you know, both teams with an emotional win.
00:54:21.919 --> 00:54:28.319
I would kind of give Kentucky the edge because uh them boys are gonna be in Norman hearing about how they beat Texas at the last second.
00:54:28.399 --> 00:54:37.039
Uh, so I don't envy uh Brent Venables trying to keep those guys on the uh uh you know level headed uh as they go through uh their preparation.
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:44.079
But just a road game, you know, obviously uh that crowd in Norman is gonna be loud because there's nothing else to do in Oklahoma.
00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:46.480
Uh so you gotta be you gotta be ready for that.
00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:48.719
But this is why Will Stein came to Kentucky.
00:54:48.799 --> 00:54:50.559
This is what the SEC is supposed to be.
00:54:50.639 --> 00:54:55.759
Uh so if they the you know it's gonna be the early part of the game will tell us kind of where this team is.
00:54:55.919 --> 00:54:57.919
Uh, but I'm not I'm not too concerned.
00:54:58.079 --> 00:54:59.919
I think they'll cover the points at the very least.
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:01.199
What time is the game?
00:55:01.279 --> 00:55:01.679
What is it?
00:55:02.159 --> 00:55:03.279
Uh 7:30.
00:55:03.439 --> 00:55:04.079
7:30.
00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:05.119
7:30.
00:55:05.199 --> 00:55:05.359
Okay.
00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:07.279
6:30 Oklahoma time.
00:55:07.439 --> 00:55:07.919
Yeah.
00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:09.839
Um central time, baby.
00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:11.359
SEC network.
00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:16.159
Daveau, uh, concerns uh with uh Oklahoma.
00:55:16.399 --> 00:55:19.759
I don't think you're really ever really concerned about playing a team, especially this year.
00:55:19.839 --> 00:55:22.879
Um, you know, we've already played in some super hostile environments.
00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:28.399
Um yeah, uh, like I said, I mean them coming off this huge win against Texas, you know, they're gonna have some juice.
00:55:28.559 --> 00:55:35.599
Um, but I think us learning how to handle ourselves after big wins, you know, you got the Texas AM, big win.
00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:43.199
You know, then obviously you played a little shitty team or whatever, but then you got South Carolina, big win, and you don't fall back, LSU, big win.
00:55:43.359 --> 00:55:46.319
So I think you just kind of learn how to, hey, this is what we do.
00:55:46.399 --> 00:55:47.439
You know, we win games.
00:55:47.519 --> 00:55:56.719
Um, now I would rather not go to Norman and go to overtime and have to sit there and pace the floor and win whenever our coach puts his nuts on the table and goes to another two-pointer.
00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:01.919
Um, but yeah, I mean, you know, you just have to go ahead and just be ready for this.
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:04.159
This big boy football, this is SEC.
00:56:04.319 --> 00:56:08.879
This is another chance to be like, hey, you know, we're here, we're a different program and deal with it.
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:10.719
Um, so yeah, I'm I'm excited for it.
00:56:10.799 --> 00:56:13.119
Obviously, it's a place that I've never seen us play at.
00:56:13.199 --> 00:56:14.799
Um, you know, so it'd be cool.
00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:21.439
Yeah, uh, you know, Stein reiterated uh on his presser postgame yesterday last night.
00:56:21.599 --> 00:56:24.319
Um the team expects to win.
00:56:24.399 --> 00:56:26.000
They expect to win every game.
00:56:26.239 --> 00:56:34.960
And to have Corey to have, you know, really three kind of get three games that you probably uh you know were very emotional games.
00:56:35.119 --> 00:56:38.719
I mean, Texas AM going there, a hundred and Paul, you were there.
00:56:38.879 --> 00:56:43.359
Uh that whole atmosphere team 105,000 and 105 degrees, yeah.
00:56:43.839 --> 00:56:49.519
And you know, South Carolina doing what they did uh in the OT, doing it again last night.
00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:51.919
Um what a shithole that stadium is.
00:56:52.159 --> 00:57:12.000
Yeah, but you have to think us beating LSU is is great for us, but Oklahoma beating their rival, you know, in their, you know, I first time I think Oklahoma's beaten Texas ranked number one when they've been the home designated home team, I believe was this one of the stats, which is a dumb stat.
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:16.799
Dallas in the in the old cotton bowl during the Texas State Fair.
00:57:16.879 --> 00:57:19.279
It's basically like right in the middle of both both schools.
00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:21.119
That's how big this is.
00:57:21.199 --> 00:57:22.079
It's ridiculous.
00:57:22.399 --> 00:57:26.239
Uh drive Austin to Dallas, you're like, wow, this is not close.
00:57:26.399 --> 00:57:27.839
It looks way closer on the map.
00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:28.319
Oh, yeah.
00:57:28.399 --> 00:57:33.679
I'm saying it's bigger than Texas is bigger than the halfway point between most places in Texas is in Texas.
00:57:33.759 --> 00:57:34.960
That's how correct.
00:57:35.759 --> 00:57:39.359
Uh Corey, are you what is it like 10 hours tip to like east to west?
00:57:39.439 --> 00:57:40.399
It's like 10 hours.
00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:41.119
It's crazy.
00:57:41.359 --> 00:57:42.239
10 or 11, yeah.
00:57:42.319 --> 00:57:42.960
Yeah, wow.
00:57:43.119 --> 00:57:45.119
Um, Corey, you you doing road games?
00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:46.239
Are you going on the road?
00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:50.639
Uh with the crew, uh, the only one I'm doing with them this year is in Knoxville.
00:57:50.879 --> 00:57:54.639
But uh like I said, I I am going to Norman as a as a fan, so I'm fortunate.
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:55.759
All right, very cool.
00:57:55.919 --> 00:58:00.799
Uh as you go on going there, let's uh uh do we win this game?
00:58:00.879 --> 00:58:03.919
And if so or not, what's the score for you?
00:58:04.399 --> 00:58:11.439
Uh I know I've been doubting uh uh us uh on these uh road games all year, and I've been proven wrong.
00:58:11.519 --> 00:58:15.519
So I think I'm gonna stick with saying we're gonna lose so that we'll win.
00:58:15.759 --> 00:58:20.639
So uh I'll say uh Oklahoma 27, Kentucky 24.
00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:21.599
Travard.
00:58:21.759 --> 00:58:22.799
I don't really have a prediction.
00:58:22.879 --> 00:58:24.079
I just know we'll win again.
00:58:24.239 --> 00:58:24.639
Fair enough.
00:58:24.719 --> 00:58:25.439
That's all I need.
00:58:25.599 --> 00:58:26.000
Paul.
00:58:26.159 --> 00:58:27.439
I think Kentucky wins.
00:58:27.599 --> 00:58:29.519
I don't think it's as probably as high scoring.
00:58:29.599 --> 00:58:32.480
I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say 27-17.
00:58:32.799 --> 00:58:33.359
TB.
00:58:33.679 --> 00:58:35.359
Cats win 24-13.
00:58:35.599 --> 00:58:36.399
Daveo.
00:58:36.799 --> 00:58:41.279
Uh Kentucky 23, Oklahoma 19.
00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:44.239
Yeah, I'm about 28-17, Kentucky.
00:58:44.319 --> 00:58:48.159
Um, but Corey, you you stay, keep your pet score, everything.
00:58:48.239 --> 00:58:49.119
You know, I will.
00:58:49.279 --> 00:58:50.079
All right, good.
00:58:50.239 --> 00:58:59.039
Um, and join us, Paul and I, Wednesday night for Bleep Blue Primetime as we'll go in depth with the uh Oklahoma matchup.
00:58:59.279 --> 00:59:04.960
All right, let's uh switch gears to Kentucky men's basketball, guys.
00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:09.279
Uh Dave Ock first exhibition Friday uh against the little rock.
00:59:09.439 --> 00:59:14.480
I mean, I mean it's an exhibition, but it's still um it's still uh a gauge.
00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:15.919
Um it's something to watch.
00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:17.119
It's something to watch.
00:59:17.279 --> 00:59:19.439
What what do you need from this game?
00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:23.279
Um I don't have a huge opinion on basketball right now, Kevin.
00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:25.199
No, that's all we're gonna do.
00:59:25.279 --> 00:59:28.239
It's a really one question, just acknowledging that there's an exhibition.
00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:35.439
Yeah, well, I mean, what I really want to see is is how he how he uses the guards, you know, the two guards um with Zoom and Alex.
00:59:35.599 --> 00:59:44.159
Um I kind of want to see how he positions his bigs, seeing how he's gonna see who he's gonna pair with Malachi, um, and just kind of see how he's gonna use his shooters.
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:48.799
Um, and also I don't want to see anybody get injured in his exhibition games, uh, because they scare me.
00:59:48.879 --> 00:59:49.439
But yeah.
00:59:49.839 --> 00:59:50.799
Uh TB.
00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:53.199
Oh, something something something fun to watch.
00:59:53.279 --> 00:59:58.000
I mean, I don't know how much you can get a takeaway of this kind of early in the season, but uh, I'll definitely be paying attention.
00:59:58.239 --> 00:59:59.599
Yeah, again, something for us to do.
00:59:59.759 --> 01:00:02.399
Paul, any thoughts on the exhibition?
01:00:02.480 --> 01:00:03.439
Okay, though.
01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:06.559
Yeah, I probably won't even watch it, I'll be honest with you.
01:00:06.719 --> 01:00:08.319
I got an early flight the next day.
01:00:08.399 --> 01:00:11.679
I I I I I when I say I don't care, it's not that I don't care about basketball.
01:00:11.759 --> 01:00:12.639
I don't know, I don't know.
01:00:12.719 --> 01:00:15.199
We're just the first exhibition game, it's gonna be useless.
01:00:15.279 --> 01:00:18.399
I'm gonna be so hyped for going to Oklahoma the next day and covering the game.
01:00:18.559 --> 01:00:25.359
Um, the last Texas Tech will is when I'll really start paying attention because I don't think I I don't even know if all of our guys will play in the first exhibition game.
01:00:25.439 --> 01:00:33.359
Texas Tech's the first time you'll see us line up against a team that actually has a has a is has a chance to be really good this year, and that's where I think you'll get a little bit more intel.
01:00:33.519 --> 01:00:35.759
Maybe not because we beat Purdue last year.
01:00:35.919 --> 01:00:38.159
So, and then we thought we were gonna be the best team in the country.
01:00:38.239 --> 01:00:41.439
So honestly, I mean just I mean this with all love and respect.
01:00:41.519 --> 01:00:46.319
I I don't care about the exhibition, and I think you're gonna see a lot of people not care with Kentucky.
01:00:46.399 --> 01:00:50.480
I mean, listen, we're in a playoff hunt for football, like a legit playoff hunt for football.
01:00:50.559 --> 01:00:57.359
Uh, and I think that you know it's gonna be real interesting to see how many people are not shifting to basketball as fast as you normally would.
01:00:57.839 --> 01:01:01.279
Trevard, that any do you even care about that round ball?
01:01:01.439 --> 01:01:03.919
I mean, I watched, but I don't really I don't even keep up with it.
01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:06.559
If it was on TV, I'd watch better than the players or whatnot.
01:01:06.719 --> 01:01:08.079
I don't really don't really keep up with it.
01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:08.960
That's fine, fair.
01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:12.000
Corey, uh too early to even think about hoop.
01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:14.079
Yeah, uh, like they've all said that.
01:01:14.159 --> 01:01:16.559
I mean, uh, this football team has been fun to watch.
01:01:16.719 --> 01:01:18.319
Uh, so my focus has been on that.
01:01:18.399 --> 01:01:21.759
I mean, I guess it'd be nice that uh Travis Ford's back at Rep.
01:01:21.919 --> 01:01:25.839
So I mean that I mean that aspect will be pretty cool, but uh Oh yeah, he's there.
01:01:25.919 --> 01:01:26.399
That's right.
01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:26.719
Okay.
01:01:27.839 --> 01:01:31.039
Uh but my my focus for right now is on football.
01:01:31.119 --> 01:01:32.799
So us too.
01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:33.679
Us too.
01:01:33.839 --> 01:01:37.359
Um hard when you have such a special season brewing.
01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:43.679
You know, I I think I I posted earlier, like Kentucky, Kentucky had a two percent chance to make the playoffs to start the season.
01:01:43.759 --> 01:01:44.799
It's now almost at 21%.
01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:46.799
And people are gonna be like, ah, it's only 21%.
01:01:47.679 --> 01:01:49.839
That's not like and that's six games in.
01:01:49.919 --> 01:01:52.319
You win the next two, that thing's gonna be at like 45.
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:56.799
So it's it's a legit, it's a legit thing, and like just to it like ride it.
01:01:56.879 --> 01:02:06.480
Like, if I don't know how many people remember, you know, 07, 2017, 2021, when we had like we were starting to get in those conversations again, how excited it was.
01:02:06.559 --> 01:02:11.679
We've not we we this is where this is where traditionally we've gotten up there, and then we hit a slide, right?
01:02:11.759 --> 01:02:14.000
You win the next two games, and now you're not hitting the slide.
01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:15.519
Now you're still at you're still going.
01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:18.239
And that's where I think this is gonna be real exciting to see what happens.
01:02:18.319 --> 01:02:20.239
And I'm so excited for the game this weekend.
01:02:20.879 --> 01:02:32.159
Uh there's how many how many seasons, Corey, do we have you know, where football has started out five and one, four and two in the first six games, and then just freaking fall apart, you know, on the back half.
01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:32.960
Yeah.
01:02:33.199 --> 01:02:36.399
Uh uh unfortunately, uh, two too many times.
01:02:36.559 --> 01:02:41.199
But uh, you know, uh like I mentioned at the at the start of the show, I think we have to start thinking uh differently.
01:02:41.359 --> 01:02:45.759
This is a different, I mean, Stein is he's forcing us to think uh differently, you know.
01:02:45.919 --> 01:02:47.679
Yeah, he wants to smoke too, Corey.
01:02:47.759 --> 01:02:52.159
Like it's he doesn't like he doesn't want us to not talk about playoffs and not dream big.
01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:54.879
Like that's exactly he wants us talking about national championships.
01:02:55.199 --> 01:02:56.480
And I don't mean this disrespectfully.
01:02:56.559 --> 01:02:58.319
I think I said this on our show on Wednesday, right?
01:02:58.399 --> 01:03:00.559
And and you know, Corey would know this, TB would know this.
01:03:00.639 --> 01:03:04.079
When's the last coach that came in here and started talking about national championships from the week one?
01:03:04.159 --> 01:03:05.839
Like from their first press conference, right?
01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:08.079
I don't and and that's not a shot at any other coach.
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:16.879
I'm not taking a shot, but I'm saying like how many coaches have come in and not just said, hey, let's like let's win, like we want to compete in the SEC and try and get to the SEC title game, right?
01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:17.519
It was always that.
01:03:17.679 --> 01:03:23.839
He came in as like, I came here to win now and to win championships, not three years from now, not five years from now, now.
01:03:24.159 --> 01:03:27.039
And he's he he talked the talk and he's walking the walk.
01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:36.719
And I think like that's he's got Saban in him, he's got some Signetti in him, he's got some Kirby Smart in him, and like that's the thing that I think got people really excited.
01:03:36.799 --> 01:03:38.719
And he's a hell of a coach, which you can tell.
01:03:38.799 --> 01:03:41.119
I mean, he made Lane Kiffin blink multiple times.
01:03:41.279 --> 01:03:58.960
Like that that coaching job when Leigh lined up for on fourth down to go for it, and they tried to stub in late to catch Kentucky, and we stubbed Harklis on late to make them get a delay of game, was one of the greatest split second coaching jobs I have seen at the University of Kentucky, probably in my lifetime.
01:03:59.119 --> 01:03:59.839
That's a good quote.
01:03:59.919 --> 01:04:00.639
Um, yeah.
01:04:01.439 --> 01:04:03.119
There's a new sheriff in town, guys.
01:04:03.199 --> 01:04:06.399
To quote uh Yeah, no disrespect to any other coaches that came here.
01:04:06.559 --> 01:04:07.679
None of that was meant to be a shot.
01:04:07.839 --> 01:04:09.439
Terry, you know where that line's from, right?
01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:10.719
The new sheriff in town.
01:04:10.879 --> 01:04:12.239
His name is Reggie Ham.
01:04:13.119 --> 01:04:13.839
48 hours.
01:04:14.079 --> 01:04:18.799
Yeah, the the the bar scene's how I walk into bars here in Iowa, just to for you kids to Google that.
01:04:18.960 --> 01:04:20.000
That's how I operate.
01:04:20.079 --> 01:04:21.759
I'll tweet that out a little bit later on.
01:04:22.079 --> 01:04:22.799
Yeah, I love that.
01:04:23.199 --> 01:04:26.000
Yeah, Terry, I'd love to see Kentucky and Iowa play this year.
01:04:26.079 --> 01:04:27.919
I think it'd be a hell of a chess match in football.
01:04:28.159 --> 01:04:29.199
I don't look, man.
01:04:29.279 --> 01:04:30.559
Look, you don't understand.
01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:35.199
Like the two bowl games, I'm just glad we all split uh at one and one.
01:04:35.439 --> 01:04:40.079
But I saw some of the rankings, I'm like, they can't play again because the year I got married was 2021.
01:04:40.159 --> 01:04:42.319
They were both six and one when I got married.
01:04:42.480 --> 01:04:43.599
I was like, well, that's great.
01:04:43.759 --> 01:04:45.839
And then like the bowl predictions came out.
01:04:45.919 --> 01:04:47.359
Uh, Kentucky's gonna play Iowa.
01:04:47.519 --> 01:04:49.359
I'm like, oh, you've gotta be shitting me.
01:04:49.519 --> 01:04:54.239
But you know, it was nice to be the one Kentucky guy walking around town uh after the first game.
01:04:54.319 --> 01:04:55.039
So there you go.
01:04:55.199 --> 01:05:00.319
Uh some love for that 2007 season players and Coach Brooks.
01:05:01.119 --> 01:05:02.399
Uh okay.
01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:05.839
That was uh man, six games in.
01:05:05.919 --> 01:05:07.599
It's already six, six games season.
01:05:07.679 --> 01:05:10.000
We got Oklahoma, then Vandy.
01:05:10.159 --> 01:05:11.359
We don't have do we have a bye?
01:05:11.519 --> 01:05:12.639
Yeah, we have a bye week.
01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:17.279
I guess it's it would be the Halloween weekend between Vandy and Tennessee.
01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:24.079
And I got let's let's talk about some of the some of the games, um, other games that happen over the weekend.
01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:26.319
I'm gonna start with guys Florida.
01:05:26.879 --> 01:05:28.559
They're a hot mess right now.
01:05:28.719 --> 01:05:36.480
And uh the the Florida that we've seen the last couple weeks, to me, and I I I reminded who their defensive coordinator is.
01:05:36.559 --> 01:05:41.119
What's been your take so far uh uh with say the rest of the SEC Tabo?
01:05:41.519 --> 01:05:46.879
Um I think it's great seeing them get pissed off at Brad White and his stupid defense.
01:05:47.119 --> 01:05:59.199
Um, you know, I I that all that does, you know, that Florida game, you know, South Carolina giving them the belt, you know, after all we heard from the national media about how bad South Carolina is and how bad Kentucky is.
01:05:59.679 --> 01:06:03.199
From our friends out from our friends uh west of uh 64.
01:06:03.439 --> 01:06:07.359
Yeah, I mean they got they they're just running their mouth all the time when that happens.
01:06:07.439 --> 01:06:08.399
Now they're super quiet.
01:06:08.480 --> 01:06:10.559
Now they're coming up with other freaking excuses.
01:06:10.799 --> 01:06:16.799
Um any any anything that happens like that, no, anything that Texas AM does good, which is gonna be hard to find, it looks like.
01:06:16.960 --> 01:06:18.960
Um, anything South Carolina does good.
01:06:19.199 --> 01:06:21.359
I mean, we got cheerful 'em at this point.
01:06:21.519 --> 01:06:22.159
Um, yeah.
01:06:22.319 --> 01:06:27.599
I mean, honestly, like I don't really care what anybody else does inside the SEC as long as Tennessee loses.
01:06:27.759 --> 01:06:30.159
Um, I'm just so focused on my team at this point.
01:06:30.399 --> 01:06:34.159
I want Tennessee to win, and then we walk in there and beat them 50 to 21.
01:06:34.399 --> 01:06:36.000
Well, they're so bad, too.
01:06:36.399 --> 01:06:37.599
They are not a good team.
01:06:38.000 --> 01:06:38.960
They're they're definitely big.
01:06:41.359 --> 01:06:43.519
They're gonna have multiple losses by the time we get to them.
01:06:43.759 --> 01:06:46.960
And all they can do right now is just run their mouth because they know what's coming.
01:06:47.279 --> 01:06:48.159
They know what's coming.
01:06:48.319 --> 01:06:51.599
Um, anything, any games yesterday, Terry, stood out for you?
01:06:51.839 --> 01:06:55.919
Oh, uh Oklahoma, Texas was a great one, kind of the lead in to our game.
01:06:56.319 --> 01:06:59.519
Uh, but overall, the SEC, it feels wide open, right?
01:06:59.599 --> 01:07:07.519
There's no Georgia is still Georgia, but if you, you know, you know, even under Saban's run at Alabama, Auburn was also good.
01:07:07.679 --> 01:07:09.279
LSU was also good.
01:07:09.439 --> 01:07:14.239
Uh, you know, going back to the 90s, Tennessee and Florida winning a bunch of championships.
01:07:14.319 --> 01:07:17.759
Uh, my point is it feels really wide open after Georgia, right?
01:07:17.839 --> 01:07:22.079
Like, uh, I think Georgia would be a challenge, but you know, here we are midway through the season.
01:07:22.239 --> 01:07:25.519
You could talk me into Kentucky, you know, being able to defeat Texas.
01:07:25.679 --> 01:07:27.279
Tennessee's not a big jump, right?
01:07:27.439 --> 01:07:28.719
Florida, not a big jump.
01:07:28.879 --> 01:07:33.359
Like, you can talk yourself into Kentucky, finish in the year two or three, right?
01:07:33.439 --> 01:07:38.559
Like I could you could talk us into giving Bama a game again, I think, because we did for 42 minutes.
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:39.119
Right.
01:07:39.279 --> 01:07:44.960
So, so for so outside of Georgia, there's no there's no boogeyman out there.
01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:50.960
And so what we've seen previously with Kentucky teams that we've talked about, like, look, the fast starts, it's great.
01:07:51.119 --> 01:07:55.119
There's been other years where the SEC is wide open, and we haven't made that jump, right?
01:07:55.359 --> 01:08:03.679
You know, Georgia was down, Florida was down, and we weren't quite able to get up to uh being the number one team in the SEC East, you know, uh under stoops, right?
01:08:03.759 --> 01:08:16.239
This is the time where you're looking around the the the the the the wasteland of this SEC and you can talk yourself into Kentucky, taking that leap and and becoming a top-tier SEC, it doesn't seem as far-fetched as it did six months ago.
01:08:16.480 --> 01:08:19.279
Yeah, I mean, looking at the rest of the schedule.
01:08:19.439 --> 01:08:25.359
I I think honestly, the only game that maybe concerns me is probably the Oklahoma game.
01:08:25.439 --> 01:08:26.399
Um Mizzou.
01:08:26.640 --> 01:08:28.880
Mizzou's playing really well, they're really good at home.
01:08:29.119 --> 01:08:34.720
All right, if you have to ask me to rank the teams like one to six the rest of the year, it's it's Missouri.
01:08:35.039 --> 01:08:35.760
I overlooked it.
01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:40.960
It's probably Missouri, Florida, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Wilvil Vandy.
01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:42.319
Um okay.
01:08:42.560 --> 01:08:45.920
Any final thoughts before we start to shut this down?
01:08:46.720 --> 01:08:49.520
Corey, numbers got anything to throw at us?
01:08:49.760 --> 01:08:53.279
Something that makes will make us feel good heading into next week.
01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:55.760
Uh we're top 15, we're five and one.
01:08:55.920 --> 01:08:56.319
I know, man.
01:08:56.479 --> 01:08:57.439
That's the two numbers that matter.
01:08:57.840 --> 01:08:58.239
Damn right.
01:08:58.319 --> 01:08:58.800
TD World.
01:08:59.599 --> 01:09:02.639
South Carolina might actually be top 25 by the end of the year.
01:09:02.720 --> 01:09:04.479
They could win the next four games.
01:09:05.760 --> 01:09:06.559
With the K.
01:09:06.960 --> 01:09:07.359
The K.
01:09:07.679 --> 01:09:10.399
That was cool seeing the K on the on the field, too.
01:09:10.479 --> 01:09:10.639
Yeah.
01:09:10.880 --> 01:09:12.479
Those jerseys were fresh, by the way.
01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:13.199
Good stuff.
01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:14.559
Yeah, they should be permanent.
01:09:14.639 --> 01:09:15.840
I don't care what anybody says.
01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:18.720
They they are well, uh they're gonna be in the rotation.
01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:22.239
Uh I I heard I I forget who it was.
01:09:22.319 --> 01:09:31.359
I think it was, I think it was one of the I think it was I won't say who I heard it from because I don't know if it was like it's not a secret, but it was like, I don't want to shout them out on on here just in case.
01:09:31.519 --> 01:09:34.479
The UK logo is like the logo for the school, right?
01:09:34.559 --> 01:09:40.079
So I don't think the these will be the main uniform, but I think you will see that through the year more.
01:09:40.159 --> 01:09:42.079
Like, I wouldn't be surprised if we wore them.
01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:48.639
I wouldn't be surprised if that K came out with maybe the regular jersey at an away game, wouldn't be shocked.
01:09:48.800 --> 01:09:51.519
Um, I really honestly though hope no no lie.
01:09:51.599 --> 01:09:54.079
I hope we go black, white, black for the Oklahoma game.
01:09:54.239 --> 01:09:56.000
Just my preference, because we've never done it before.
01:09:56.079 --> 01:09:56.720
I think it'd be cool.
01:09:57.359 --> 01:10:01.920
Well, we're going all black against Florida, so yeah, but I but we've never worn black, white, black.
01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:04.960
And if you've ever played NCA football, they look fresh as shit.
01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:08.479
Yeah, even white, white, black, just saying, could be kind of cool.
01:10:08.720 --> 01:10:09.359
Uh okay.
01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:12.239
That's fine.
01:10:12.319 --> 01:10:13.119
Let them let them cry.
01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:14.319
This is new Kentucky football.
01:10:14.399 --> 01:10:15.119
We do cool shit.
01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:16.159
We do cool shit now.
01:10:16.479 --> 01:10:22.800
Man, I you know spent today watching a lot of YouTube uh uh LSU fans, man, are giving.
01:10:23.279 --> 01:10:23.760
Oh, hang on.
01:10:24.479 --> 01:10:26.559
Would you like to know what Lane Kiffin just said?
01:10:26.639 --> 01:10:27.920
Should we should we should we tell him?
01:10:28.159 --> 01:10:28.319
Go.
01:10:28.639 --> 01:10:35.679
So Davo sent me this just now in the chat, and now I've posted it because I am pissed and I hate Lane Kiffin because he's a bitch.
01:10:35.760 --> 01:10:43.760
But Lane Kiffin claims that Lane Kiffing Lane Kiffin claims the line judge told him there was too much at stake to call Kenny Minchie.
01:10:43.840 --> 01:10:47.439
Uh Kenny Minche's sneak PD dead before halftime.
01:10:47.519 --> 01:10:50.559
The line just this is a quote now from Lane Kiffin.
01:10:50.639 --> 01:10:56.159
The line judge said the line judge just said that in that situation there was too much at stake.
01:10:56.399 --> 01:11:02.319
He said he would have been killed if he would have blown the whistle for the play being stopped, even though it appeared to have been stopped.
01:11:02.479 --> 01:11:07.599
He later added, Don't not blow, don't not blow it because it's such a big play.
01:11:07.679 --> 01:11:08.559
The rules are the rules.
01:11:08.639 --> 01:11:11.760
First of all, Lane Kiffin, part of my friend's fuck you, you bitch.
01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:16.159
Because if you watch the overhead, his forward progress never stops.
01:11:16.319 --> 01:11:19.359
He's in the end zone by a good half a body.
01:11:19.519 --> 01:11:21.199
Like, I can't stand this.
01:11:21.279 --> 01:11:29.599
Like, and like LSU is a national, a multinational time winning program, and the way they are acting about losing last night is bullshit.
01:11:29.679 --> 01:11:34.800
Like it's the loser mentality, the bitching that Lane Kiffin did, the Bush league shit he did.
01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:38.800
You want to talk about calling timeout before like the false start?
01:11:38.880 --> 01:11:45.920
What about the timeout when the flag came out for delay of game and your ass wasn't even 50, it wasn't near the official, and they gave you the timeout?
01:11:46.079 --> 01:11:55.279
So, how about you take your stupid shit, your$50, you know, your$50 fucking roster, your 13 and 13 and uh like SEC record and shove it up your ass?
01:11:55.359 --> 01:12:02.639
Take the L, go home to Baton Rouge, go catch a gator, eat some crawfish, and figure out why your team sucks and why you're one of the most overpaid coaches in college football.
01:12:02.720 --> 01:12:03.359
How about that?
01:12:03.519 --> 01:12:03.920
Shut up.
01:12:04.159 --> 01:12:09.039
And what about the little stall job he did going out to like midfield, like trying to get the official?
01:12:09.439 --> 01:12:13.519
Good for Will Stein to basically look over him and do everything but flip him off, by the way.
01:12:13.840 --> 01:12:15.599
Like Will Stein wasn't having that shit.
01:12:15.679 --> 01:12:16.479
Get off the field.
01:12:16.639 --> 01:12:18.159
That should have been a flag right away.
01:12:18.399 --> 01:12:22.800
You and your entire fan base are a bunch of purping and yellow, fuzzy, feather-eaten losers.
01:12:23.039 --> 01:12:23.920
Shut up.
01:12:25.920 --> 01:12:29.279
Go get go eat some beignets and get off my lawn.
01:12:29.920 --> 01:12:30.800
Is that your final shot?
01:12:30.960 --> 01:12:31.359
Enjoy the music.
01:12:31.519 --> 01:12:32.559
That's not your final music.
01:12:33.439 --> 01:12:35.279
Enjoy the Music City bowl, guys.
01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:36.639
Enjoy the Music City Bowl.
01:12:36.960 --> 01:12:38.079
For that, yeah.
01:12:38.319 --> 01:12:38.800
All right.
01:12:38.960 --> 01:12:40.880
Uh Dave O, final shot.
01:12:41.119 --> 01:12:44.559
I I mean, I don't really have a lot extra to say about other than what we've been talking about now.
01:12:44.639 --> 01:12:45.840
You know, just enjoy this ride.
01:12:45.920 --> 01:12:46.079
Yeah.
01:12:46.159 --> 01:12:52.479
I mean, we are we we are halfway through the season and they are speaking about the University of Kentucky football program in the playoffs.
01:12:52.720 --> 01:12:54.079
I mean, that is absolutely amazing.
01:12:54.239 --> 01:13:01.760
I know one thing that we preached about was not to talk about Indiana and the way they did it, but guys, we're kind of we're kind of following that trajectory right now.
01:13:01.840 --> 01:13:05.199
Um without a Charminsoft schedule, by the way.
01:13:05.279 --> 01:13:05.679
Just saying.
01:13:06.000 --> 01:13:06.319
Exactly.
01:13:06.479 --> 01:13:08.559
Yeah, so just kind of hang in there with this team, man.
01:13:08.880 --> 01:13:09.519
Enjoy this shit.
01:13:09.599 --> 01:13:13.840
Um, whatever happens, happens, and what's happening right now is freaking amazing, you know.
01:13:14.000 --> 01:13:16.399
And by the way, there's a certain account on here.
01:13:16.559 --> 01:13:17.599
I'm gonna call him out too much.
01:13:17.760 --> 01:13:20.399
I've been beefing with who lives in that state below us.
01:13:20.559 --> 01:13:22.559
Don't don't don't run whenever we come down here.
01:13:22.880 --> 01:13:23.920
Does it got an orange by it?
01:13:24.239 --> 01:13:26.479
Yeah, does it got orange and a straw by it?
01:13:26.960 --> 01:13:28.000
He's one of them.
01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:29.920
Uh let's just say he has.
01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:31.519
Where's McVall, by the way?
01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:33.119
Where's McVall, by the way?
01:13:33.199 --> 01:13:34.559
Because he's been eerily quiet.
01:13:34.720 --> 01:13:38.960
Yeah, well, they they they are standing on history between the two programs.
01:13:39.039 --> 01:13:44.079
And I'm telling you right now, they are they are talking out their ass because they know what's coming to them in a few weeks.
01:13:44.239 --> 01:13:45.039
They know what's coming.
01:13:45.119 --> 01:13:45.599
So yeah.
01:13:45.760 --> 01:13:47.439
Have fun with this team, BBN.
01:13:47.599 --> 01:13:48.479
Don't jump the basketball.
01:13:48.880 --> 01:13:50.319
We win three more games this year.
01:13:50.399 --> 01:13:50.800
That's it.
01:13:50.880 --> 01:13:52.800
I hope it's Tennessee, Florida, and Louisville.
01:13:53.039 --> 01:13:55.199
Yeah, don't do not do not jump ship.
01:13:55.279 --> 01:13:57.840
Do not start beating your chest about basketball just yet.
01:13:58.000 --> 01:13:59.359
Just keep having fun with this shit.
01:13:59.439 --> 01:14:00.399
It's it's it's a good time.
01:14:00.559 --> 01:14:01.359
Very good time.
01:14:01.519 --> 01:14:03.439
Um, TB, final shot.
01:14:03.599 --> 01:14:08.880
I know no one particularly cares, but the uh volleyball team moved to 13 and 3 uh today.
01:14:08.960 --> 01:14:12.479
Uh they are leading SEC over Ole Miss.
01:14:12.639 --> 01:14:16.079
They're leading the SEC uh volleyball standings.
01:14:16.399 --> 01:14:21.599
Uh so they're closing it on their 10th straight SEC title.
01:14:22.079 --> 01:14:22.559
10.
01:14:22.639 --> 01:14:23.519
That's 10 in a row.
01:14:23.599 --> 01:14:30.960
That's a decade of SEC championships, which not even the men's basketball team has uh has reached out.
01:14:31.119 --> 01:14:32.960
So tip my hat to those ladies.
01:14:33.039 --> 01:14:35.039
A lot of people say it I'm focused on football.
01:14:35.199 --> 01:14:39.679
A lot of people say they're getting ready for basketball, but as you can see, I kind of cover everything.
01:14:39.760 --> 01:14:49.039
So I'm excited because I can watch a football game on Saturday, I can watch a volleyball game on Sunday, I can watch a men's uh scrimmage on Friday.
01:14:49.199 --> 01:14:54.720
I have the ability to do that because I got the SEC network and ESPN packet, so I can watch Kentucky, whatever they do.
01:14:54.800 --> 01:14:55.599
Yeah, there you go.
01:14:55.679 --> 01:14:58.559
Yeah, that was a good bounce back after that Florida match for sure.
01:14:58.800 --> 01:15:03.840
Yeah, you know, and like I said, you know, they've they're they're a game or half game up on Florida.
01:15:03.920 --> 01:15:11.519
Uh some of the hottest tickets, some of the best crowds I've seen have been in historical Memorial Coliseum uh for this top-ranked team.
01:15:11.599 --> 01:15:14.639
So best team on campus over the last 10 years.
01:15:14.800 --> 01:15:19.439
You're you're you're your runner-ups last year, the only national championship team we've had in a decade.
01:15:19.519 --> 01:15:22.000
So I'm tipping my hat, Coach Skinner, what the ladies are doing.
01:15:22.159 --> 01:15:24.399
Yeah, good, good take, good take, TP.
01:15:24.559 --> 01:15:25.760
Uh Paul, final shot.
01:15:26.000 --> 01:15:28.479
I mean, that's don't get no.
01:15:29.359 --> 01:15:30.000
I got you.
01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:34.880
No, listen, I I think it's just really exciting to see where Kentucky's going right now.
01:15:35.039 --> 01:15:36.159
Like, this is a fun school.
01:15:36.239 --> 01:15:37.920
It's fun to be Kentucky fan again.
01:15:38.000 --> 01:15:39.199
We went through a lot of misery.
01:15:39.359 --> 01:15:44.559
I mean, you saw stuff last night that you wouldn't have seen if other people were in charge anymore.
01:15:44.720 --> 01:15:46.239
Um, it was really interesting.
01:15:46.319 --> 01:15:50.079
I got to, I talked to Jay on on the sideline uh after the game.
01:15:50.159 --> 01:15:56.239
I mean, when it was fractional, like we're talking about 90 seconds, but you know, the grin when he knew he had to fork out a$500,000 check.
01:15:56.399 --> 01:15:58.000
The dude was like, whatever.
01:15:58.159 --> 01:15:58.800
This is great.
01:15:59.199 --> 01:16:00.079
I forgot about that.
01:16:00.159 --> 01:16:00.399
Yeah.
01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:02.800
It's fun being a Kentucky fan.
01:16:02.960 --> 01:16:19.679
And I think it's it's uh it's just enjoy it, you know, like relish what's going on because you know, like TB said, volleyball is really good, football is pretty damn good, probably gonna have a good baseball team, probably gonna have a really good women's basketball team, probably gonna have a pretty decent men's basketball team now for our standards.
01:16:20.159 --> 01:16:20.639
Let's see.
01:16:22.159 --> 01:16:26.800
I'm not gonna get TB on the bullshit because he's gonna pull out the whiteboard and say three years on it.
01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:27.599
So I know.
01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:31.199
No, I I hey, I'm let me announce, I'm not gonna say that.
01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:34.000
Uh but you're you're 100% right by saying it though.
01:16:34.159 --> 01:16:35.439
But I'm just teasing you.
01:16:35.679 --> 01:16:36.800
This is what happened, right?
01:16:36.880 --> 01:16:38.960
I started last year saying it.
01:16:39.439 --> 01:16:44.800
I researched and I went through I did the Corey Price legwork on records of those coaches.
01:16:44.960 --> 01:16:49.119
I said on this show, and everywhere I showed up, three years, people called me a hater.
01:16:49.279 --> 01:17:00.239
People said that that I was a cow fan and wasn't a real fan, and now this offseason, I have seen major Kentucky uh uh podcast and streamers and accounts.
01:17:00.399 --> 01:17:01.359
You know what they've talked about?
01:17:01.519 --> 01:17:02.800
Three years, year three.
01:17:02.960 --> 01:17:05.760
So, like, you know, I was a madman.
01:17:06.079 --> 01:17:07.279
I was teasing you, T B.
01:17:07.359 --> 01:17:08.479
I didn't mean that in a bad way.
01:17:08.559 --> 01:17:09.359
I was just teasing you.
01:17:09.519 --> 01:17:10.559
No, no, no, no, not you.
01:17:10.639 --> 01:17:12.960
I'm not saying you, I'm just saying others have been now.
01:17:13.039 --> 01:17:15.760
Everybody's like, oh yeah, that's kind of been how it goes.
01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:17.119
Yeah, because I'm not an idiot.
01:17:17.199 --> 01:17:18.880
Yeah, and stats don't lie.
01:17:19.359 --> 01:17:26.960
So enjoy it, and then and uh Kevin, uh Crystal's on the bullshit in the chat, so we should probably get her on the show because it might be pretty electric.
01:17:27.039 --> 01:17:28.479
So yeah, we'll we'll check.
01:17:28.639 --> 01:17:32.960
Uh, she's dunking on on Tennessee pretty hard, so it's pretty enjoyable to watch.
01:17:33.039 --> 01:17:34.399
I don't know why I even put her comments up.
01:17:34.479 --> 01:17:36.079
It's been great, she's on fire.
01:17:36.319 --> 01:17:38.880
Uh Travard, final shot, sir.
01:17:39.039 --> 01:17:39.599
Final shot.
01:17:39.760 --> 01:17:43.199
Just as far as the football team, and I mean, just keep going, keep winning.
01:17:43.279 --> 01:17:44.960
And the volleyball team is winning too.
01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:46.960
So all the sports, you know, keep winning.
01:17:47.119 --> 01:17:47.439
Good times.
01:17:47.679 --> 01:17:48.880
So that's about it.
01:17:48.960 --> 01:17:51.359
And working on some new art, football art.
01:17:51.679 --> 01:17:53.359
So keep much posted on these.
01:17:54.800 --> 01:17:56.159
Hopefully, that turns out pretty good.
01:17:56.239 --> 01:17:57.279
And I'll keep y'all posted.
01:17:57.439 --> 01:17:58.159
Yeah, thank you, sir.
01:17:58.319 --> 01:18:00.239
Corey Price, final shot, sir.
01:18:00.479 --> 01:18:01.679
Uh Terry's stomach on Thunder.
01:18:01.840 --> 01:18:04.319
I was going to bring up Coach Skinner and uh that team.
01:18:04.399 --> 01:18:05.599
They're doing phenomenal.
01:18:05.840 --> 01:18:14.239
Um but uh um, like I said, the start of the show, uh, I gotta start changing my mindset about football, which is uh a good problem to have.
01:18:14.319 --> 01:18:16.319
And uh I'm looking forward to going to Norman.
01:18:16.399 --> 01:18:20.319
It's my first uh first time being there, and hope I'll come back with uh uh win.
01:18:20.559 --> 01:18:24.000
Hope you hope you when you come back being wrong with your predictions.
01:18:24.239 --> 01:18:25.199
That's right, that's right.
01:18:25.519 --> 01:18:26.880
Please, please, please, please.
01:18:28.399 --> 01:18:31.599
All right, you know, you one of y'all touched on it, or I think it's Paul.
01:18:31.679 --> 01:18:36.000
I mean, it's uh what what a time right now to be part of Big Blue Nation.
01:18:36.079 --> 01:18:45.439
Uh obviously, basketball football is just uh uh taking us on a fun ride, six games uh into this football season.
01:18:45.599 --> 01:18:47.359
Um I'm kind of with you all.
01:18:47.439 --> 01:18:50.159
I don't really care to talk about basketball.
01:18:50.399 --> 01:18:58.399
And you know, we'll we'll we'll sprinkle it in as we can or when we should, but um uh cats.
01:18:58.720 --> 01:19:02.479
Uh yeah, ranked 15th country, Stein leading this program.
01:19:03.039 --> 01:19:04.079
Things are just happening.
01:19:04.159 --> 01:19:07.359
Uh actually it's happening fast, but the work isn't finished.
01:19:07.599 --> 01:19:09.119
Oklahoma Saturday.
01:19:09.199 --> 01:19:12.960
Uh, we'll find out soon enough just how far this team can go.
01:19:13.119 --> 01:19:18.960
Not just with Oklahoma, but I mean going on the road again, a big it's gonna be a big time game for us.
01:19:19.039 --> 01:19:20.720
Um, we can get that W.
01:19:20.880 --> 01:19:24.559
Um I mean, legit playoffs, gotta start talking.
01:19:24.720 --> 01:19:32.720
Um, so for Davo, TB, Paul, Corey, uh, Trevard, uh, thanks for hanging out with me and everyone in the chat.
01:19:32.880 --> 01:19:35.359
Appreciate all the comments and the takes.
01:19:35.679 --> 01:19:37.279
Yeah, Crystal's very entertaining.
01:19:37.519 --> 01:19:38.319
I appreciate that.
01:19:38.479 --> 01:19:40.079
Um, everyone, have a good week.
01:19:40.239 --> 01:19:41.920
