Now here's Matt Jones.

Welcome into KSR.

Drew Franklin filling in for Matt Jones.

We're live at KS Bar and Grill.

I've got Ryan Lemon next to me.

Billy Rutledge on the other side.

Mario's over here giggling.

I never know what he's up to, but he looks like he's up to something.

You know what he's giggling at?

What's that?

He shows that picture of him in the 90s.

Oh, okay.

Little Billy.

Cute little Billy with some blonde hair.

It looks like.

Wow.

And you look just like your dad.

Yeah.

It's amazing.

Take me back.

Mario's doing this thing.

We want us to send pictures of us from the 90s.

I guess for this viral TikTok.

So I guess we're going to see all of this.

What we're doing back then.

Maybe some pretty big age gaps between all of us.

So that'll be a fun video.

But we're also having fun here at KS Bar.

Shannon, who is this segment brought to us by?

Yeah, our friends at Don.

859-280-2287.

We're having fun.

Getting all that negative energy behind us.

We're looking ahead.

Including tomorrow.

March bad and the same dead yet for big blue nations.

No, it's not.

We got Kentucky women's in the sweet 16 for the first time since 2016.

Which is a long drought.

That's kind of surprising.

Matthew Mitchell had them going to the elite eight.

You have to year after year.

Glad to have them back in the sweet 16.

Yeah, they play tomorrow at three on ABC.

If I'm not mistaken, get the big national treatment there.

Head playing Texas.

Then we play Texas to a really good game.

I never thought you'd ask.

What do you want to know about that game, Ron?

I'm just going on top of my head.

It seemed like we had a lead late.

Or we ended up getting beat back by four.

Something like it was a really good game.

They pulled away in the end.

I think they won by 10 or 11.

But at one point, it was a one point game in the fourth quarter.

Turnovers killed Kentucky.

They had 23 turnovers.

They shot less than like 40% from the field.

I think it was like 36 maybe not really a good game by Kentucky.

Part of that is because Texas is so good.

But the spread came out on this and it was 15 and a half.

Oh my.

You point them to within a point through most of that game.

So Texas pulled away late.

I mean, I know it's in Fort Worth and they'll have the crowd.

But Billy, we're not backing down from Texas in the sweet 16.

Especially 15 and I bet that immediately.

I mean, Kenny Brooks has the worst super star he's ever coached on the team

and Clara Strack.

This season has been so fun.

It not only has Asia Boone, but also Amelia Hassett,

have broken the single season record for three in a season.

So they're like, they're going at each other for who can have that all-time record.

It's been a really fun year and they're now healthy

and playing some of their best balls.

So fun win versus West Virginia.

Let's hope they can keep it going.

And it was a big loss when you lose Georgia Amor.

But that Tony Morgan has not only broken her assist record.

She is like becoming one of the best point guards in the country.

I mean, you hate to lose Georgia, but my goodness.

Tony Morgan's been playing great.

She's been awesome.

Clara Strack's been awesome.

I don't know if you all saw it.

Everyone go to KentuckySportsRadio.com.

Our guy, Phoenix, who covers women's best.

He did a great job, too, by the way.

Yeah, he has a great story.

I don't know if you all saw the photo from West Virginia where Clara Strack's kind of, you know,

screaming at her arms down and the photos like taking West Virginia players on her back.

And it's kind of like looking up.

It's an amazing photo by Morgan Simmons over at UK Athletics.

But Phoenix wrote a feature on it.

The photo deserved a feature.

But it's just adding to more of the excitement as we're counting down to tomorrow.

I want you to go check that out.

The photographer said she took like 10,000 photos and goes through it and finds that one.

Wow.

Looks a little bit like the Miami one back in the day standing over his opponent.

So that's, that's an all-timer in a reminder that, you know, good sports photography.

You know, it comes around every once in a while.

And just, you know, that was the Kentucky's another dog in that game going to Morgantown playing on the road.

On their home court.

On their home court.

If I'm not mistaken, when Kentucky played Texas in the regular season, either Tiani Ki was just coming back.

I might be mistaken on where she was in her timeline, but I think she was limited in that game.

So as I said, we're not sure they're the better seed, double digit favorite.

They're going to have the crowd, but I'm excited to see what the women can do.

Maybe break through to the elite eight.

Well, we've always tried to get to a final four.

At some point, UK women will get to the final four.

Tiani Brooks, I think this year, honestly thought he had a team that could do it.

You can knock off Texas tonight.

You've got a route where you can get to the final four for the first time ever.

And fun to watch himself right in the locker room after the win.

Oh, yes.

Wes Virginia, you know, to bring Virginia tech to the final four is one thing.

So I've got a lot of confidence he's going to do with Kentucky this year, but very soon.

I do too.

I don't know how well you all know your women's brackets, but the Fort Worth region also has Louisville in it.

So we are one step away from Kentucky Louisville first spot in the country.

How awesome would that be though?

That would be awesome.

I'm throwing off Louisville plays Michigan before Kentucky plays Texas.

If we're going to lose, I don't want Louisville to win.

But if we're going to win, I want it to be Louisville.

I want that match up.

So I wish it were flipped so I could know to root for Louisville or against Louisville.

But even though they're both underdogs, Louisville and Kentucky playing up seed.

That's right in front of them if they can get over the hump tomorrow.

Wow.

I didn't realize that.

But yeah, kind of tough.

You don't want to root for Louisville.

Yeah, you'd like to beat them in the Elite 8 to go to the Final 4 if you had that chance.

One of the most insane sports moments I remember having was it Kentucky Louisville in the Final 4

when they played each other back in the day.

And like I was at a bar and just the screaming back and forth.

That was in Louisville when this happened of Kentucky fans and Louisville fans.

Just like just I mean how charged that game was.

Do you imagine an Elite 8 game for the women?

That'd be just much of the same wouldn't it?

Yeah, I'd love to just get to Elite 8.

But if you got the cards there, that'd be exciting.

We lost on the men's side, haven't had that excitement here in March.

March Man has been a little dead on that end.

But the women, they can still keep us alive and have a lot of fun.

Tonight's game should be fun.

We've been talking about how Matt's going to go.

Where are you all in your Rick Patino duke journey?

I'm not a Patino guy.

I didn't buy in when he came back and waved it everyone and came back to BBN.

I kept the distance there, but I'm pulling forms tonight and I actually think he gets it done.

It's amazing how big Blue Nation has turned in favor of Rick Patino.

Some.

Well, I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

One person, me personally.

Well, yeah, Marsha maybe the only one.

I'm literally sitting right next to you right now.

That is not pulling for Patino tonight.

You don't want Patino to win tonight?

No, I thought you were going to say that.

That welcomed him back.

Yeah, Marsha went in on that.

And pulling form tonight.

I'll admit it's more anti-duke than pro Patino.

But I also like the matchup.

In my bracket, I have St. John's and Yukon both winning.

So I'm on the Johnny's tonight.

I'm looking forward to watching it.

It's Patinos.

They're the early game.

First game.

7-10.

CBS.

Patinos third run in with Duke in the NCAA tournament.

We remember 1992.

Then he got revenge with Louisville in the Kevin Ware game.

Oh, yeah.

So he's one in one.

Both of those, the winner of both of those matchups went on to win the national championship.

Now his version got vacated.

Let's not forget that.

But we do have a little Patino Duke NCAA tournament history tonight.

And he brought up in his press conference the 92 game.

And oddly, he said, you know, I think people misconstrued that.

I treasure it as one of the greatest games ever played.

And it got the unforgettable in the rafters.

So I believe after they beat Kansas on a buzzer beater, he said, I hope to get Duke on a buzzer beater.

But he hadn't filled the negativity that I think a lot of the fans do for that game.

He had fond memories of the game.

I heard Jamal Mashburn talk about it a little bit too.

And he was like, well, I fouled out.

So I couldn't be a part of that at the end.

But, you know, he had a lot of great memories of the coaches just letting the guys play.

So being such a high level basketball game, not the coaches taking over with play calls and things like that.

It's been like, oh, been a weird two years with Patino, hasn't it?

I mean, he came out as a football booster.

You know, he, he released the video like the day Mark Pope was higher than kind of turned the fan base around.

He loves telling us out of Phil.

Mark Pope's first big glumandus and it's the return of Rick Patino.

Like, I feel like he's been in the spotlight a lot with the return of Mark Pope coming back.

He was also in the spotlight for his other comments yesterday.

Well, we'll make our previews in a little, but we can't ignore in his media day in DC.

He's quoted as saying there are no longer blue bloods in college basketball.

Yeah, I heard that.

He said, now 40 to 50 teams are all on the same level playing field with NIL.

He did say Kentucky and Duke will always be Kentucky and Duke because they're legacy and their history, same for North Carolina.

But he said they're no longer in control of the sport.

He mentioned things like facilities used to be a selling point or at Duke education.

He's like, that's not on the list now.

People are one or two years education.

They're not focusing on that.

Facilities are like fifth on the list.

How did you feel about Patino saying because, you know, obviously blue blood fans here,

him saying that the blue bloods are pretty much dead or at least not controlling.

They didn't kill him off, but saying that they don't run the sport anymore.

I felt like he was really trying to promote St. John.

He was trying to play St. John's now and on that level where maybe we're not blue bloods.

But we're on the same level as those guys, as those schools.

I think he's trying to promote his program as much as possible.

I did like the fact he did finally say Kentucky and Duke's on a, you know,

they're up on a different level a little bit.

But he's got a valid argument.

I mean, the way things are kind of evened out a little bit.

That's why you see teams like last several years, Villanova, Connecticut, they come out and they weren't blue bloods 20 years ago.

You got to consider Connecticut a blue blood now, don't you? I think you do.

Yeah, his other line was, this is just an offshoot of professional basketball now.

And that we need to accept it. And I agree with him.

And he also said it's as fun as it's ever been.

And I agree with that too, even though I don't love admitting that blue bloods have lost some power.

Yeah, I mean, I likened it this morning on the pre-show to like Alabama and football, right?

Like it's not two or three deep of just NFL talent.

Those two or three guys, you know, they're gone to different schools.

And you know, it's not just the absolute dominance of Alabama that they can have, you know, without paying players legally.

So I think there's a lot of truth to that, but I also agree with what Ryan's saying.

He's promoting St. John's, you know, he's putting them on that same playing field.

Do you think that's his last job in college basketball, Ryan?

Because I mean, people are saying, you know, North Carolina jobs open.

You know, Rick Patino could, I don't know, keep going.

He is in his early 70s.

You got to wonder, maybe this is his, maybe he'll just ride it out at St. John's.

You know, he's got everything he wants right now. He's got a big pocket money, big money pocket booster.

Oh, it was billionaire buddy. Yeah, that's it.

Whatever he wants. He's in New York.

So he's got it said he's in New York. He's playing at the garden.

This may be his last job.

He's still playing in the tournament for a lot of teams are true.

I think you still got, you know, more years left in him, but I think he'll finish at St. John's.

Shannon, what did you think about his blue blood comments?

I disagreed with it a little bit because I was like, you know, you still got Duke.

There are blue blood. They're still in the tournament.

You know, you get Connecticut as Ryan just mentioned.

They're a blue blood now. They're still in the tournament.

I just think that the gap maybe between the blue bloods and the teams that were behind them has just closed a little bit with NIO.

I think that's even out the playing field a little bit.

But I think the blue blood still exists.

They're just not just not as powerful as they maybe once were.

Yeah, and that came up because a reporter pointed out to him that Kentucky UCLA North Carolina and Kansas weren't alive.

So he didn't just volunteer those comments, but you know,

with those four out, I mean, it's hard to argue what Rick's saying.

Uh, we're going to take a break now.

We're going to preview the sweet 16.

Nice.

Some picks. Y'all got some pictures ready?

You want to look it over? Get spreads?

Okay, what's going on?

Welcome back to Kentucky Sports Radio.

Drew Franklin, Philan Inframad, Jones, Scott Ryan Limon, Billy Relage, Shannon The Dude.

We're having fun here at KS Bar and Grill.

Crowd's starting to roll in for lunch, Ron.

It's exciting times here at KS Bar and Grill.

Getting their pre-gaming in before the big St. John's Duke game tonight.

I think we have a good crowd in here tonight just to watch the game.

Got that game and we have the Louisville Kings in our girl games tonight.

You all Louisville Kings people playing Birmingham and I was at Lynn Family Stadium there in Louisville.

It's kind of weird.

We've never really been Louisville people, but I'm excited to see the Kings and their semi-profile football kicking off tonight.

We were just talking about Rapoli. He's a big part of that.

That's right.

From Louisville to Louisville.

We got Benny Snell.

That's going to be there.

Not Lynn Bowden, though.

Yeah, that one.

No Bowden.

The final roster came out this week.

You know, we're excited for Benny and Linda to team up.

Lynn wasn't on the roster.

It's a little disappointing.

Benny is still there.

Everybody keep up your Benny excitement.

But I can only assume they sold a lot of tickets to Kentucky fans who wanted to live.

The Lynn Bowden, Benny Snell days a little longer.

And Lynn didn't make the final cut.

So that's disappointing.

But it'll still be fun to watch Benny out there.

Did I see where the game was sold out also?

Yep.

They've been very well with tickets.

That's amazing.

Good.

You know, we need stuff like that in our state.

You know, we don't have professional teams.

We need a team like that to survive.

You know, we had minor league hockey here in town for a little bit.

We had arena football and it was fun, but it didn't survive.

Yeah, I couldn't sit down here and break down the match up with Birmingham.

I would be faking that.

But what do you all think?

We'll see how to Benny Snell.

I mean, we know what he was here.

You think he's still got some Benny in those legs?

I do.

And he's not on TikTok going live or singing his song.

Have you heard that yet?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, that's something.

No, I think he still got a little left in the tank.

This is a cool opportunity for those like Kentucky guys to come back, right?

And play in front of big blue nation and everybody in Louisville.

So hopefully it's not just, you know, this year it's, you know, guys that, you know,

graduate in the next coming years that can play for that team.

So what is he now?

Late 20s?

Maybe pushing 30s?

Yeah, so late 20s, fire guessing.

You still got some juice in those legs, I would think?

Especially when he gets that crowd behind him.

You know, Benny was a big fan favorite.

I hope Kentucky fans show up.

It'll be weird mingling with Louisville fans.

I hope we all go along and uniting together for the Kings.

But that starts tonight.

And Shannon, I'm so thrown off of baseball opening day.

I mean, what was Wednesday in them now all the games tonight?

I can't keep up, but our Braves are playing.

So Wednesday they had the game on Netflix, which was weird watching a baseball game on Netflix.

Now they've got games on prime, like you got to keep up with all these different apps and stuff.

And the Braves aren't even playing till today.

So like, I guess yesterday was sort of opening day, like soft opening day for some.

But then you have other teams like the Braves who haven't played it all yet.

So as far as I'm concerned, you and I drew a Braves fan.

So today is opening day for us.

Yeah, I don't, I'm not a huge MLB guy.

I love my Braves.

But I was ready Wednesday to just watch a bunch of games.

And I'm like, oh, there's only one on Netflix.

And then yesterday I was like, okay, there's a few here.

And then today seems to be the day.

But I'm excited about my Braves.

I don't know if it's going to be the year we want.

But Shannon, I'm ready to lock in.

We already have injuries and all this stuff we've had the last three years.

But I'm going to, I'm going to at least believe tonight.

We have the Royals at 715.

Yeah, they were bad last year.

And just looking at the projections, nobody really has them going into the playoffs.

So that's, that's kind of disappointing already.

No one that it's a long season.

You got 162 games ahead of you.

But you know, I guess anything can happen.

But so who's still injured?

Do we know who's still injured on the team?

My, my friend Derek, he keeps up like with the foreign system.

He knows the Braves organization better than they know themselves.

And I feel like every morning I wake up to a text.

If this person's hurt or this person's got tummy ache or so and so is doing this.

I feel like we're taking a lot of negative energy into the season.

As long as we can score a run, we can say we did better than the Cincinnati Reds did on day one.

So that's, you know, let's just score, let's just score one run at least later today.

Oh, Drew, you could just text Ronald Acunia.

Ask him what's up with the team going.

It's my boy.

It's still another Super Bowl moment that I don't believe happened.

Let me some Ronald Acunia.

Let's go and get these sweet 16 picks in.

I know everyone's waiting.

Yes.

I'm waiting to know what Ryan Limit thanks of tonight's games.

These will be our draft Kings picks.

I have the spread.

Everyone go to draft Kings if you do your gambling.

Use promo code KSR for the signup bonuses they have.

If you haven't done that yet, I guess we'll just, we'll go in chronological order.

Starting with Rick Patino and the Johnny's playing Duke.

Duke is a six and a half point favorite.

I have already bet St. John's to win.

So that is my pick.

Ryan Limit will just keep it on the spread.

Where are you on the six and a half?

Yeah, I would take St. John's on that for sure.

I mean, I believe in him and they've got enough big man power to kind of control the boozer brothers.

So I want to take St. John's.

St. John.

The athletic kind of article that in the headline said, is it trendy to still hate Duke?

And I'm going to say yes it is.

Yes.

So I'm taking St. John's and I am still hating Duke.

Not only is it trendy, everyone should do it.

It should just be part of your life hating Duke.

What about you, Shannon?

You know, I really want St. John's to win.

I think I would take St. John's with the six and a half points.

I don't know that I have enough confidence to go money line.

So if we're just going point spread here, I'll take St. John's.

I just hope we see the boozer brothers state farm commercial and the galaxy phone commercial

a couple of times during the game tonight.

That would make me happy to see the boozer brothers on commercials.

All right, I'm a do cater like the rest of us.

I do kind of like the boozer's story with their brother.

They had a brother that was sick and they were kind of born to help him.

Do you know that story?

No.

Yeah, there's a third brother that was sick and they almost Carlos boozer.

They had another child to I guess for the blue.

I'm talking on the medical part.

I'm the details are fuzzy.

But there is they had a third brother and they kind of saved his life twins.

So that's a pretty cool story.

That is a great story.

I mean, I want Duke to lose, but kind of a cool boozer thing they got going on.

And Cameron is unbelievable.

Well, Caden is what's the little guard?

He's been great after the, you know, filling in for their point guard they got hurt.

He's been great during the March minus run.

Well, hopefully the road ends for them tonight.

Michigan, Alabama.

Michigan's an eight and a half point favorite.

And as we're talking, I'm reading this on the fly.

Alabama guard, Aiden Holloway has been granted his motion to travel out of state

by a Tuscaloosa district court judge.

Of course.

Imagine that.

I got to make sure this isn't a fake account.

That sounds Facebook.

He is a writer for al.com.

Yep, that's a pretty big thing.

Okay, looks like Aiden Holloway has been great.

Wow.

Wow.

Unbelievable.

Man, Alabama just don't care.

They don't care.

You know, they played that one dude for five games during the season.

They're getting from the G league.

Now they're going to play Aiden Holloway.

It's the morning of the game.

Is he going to have an ankle bracelet?

What are we doing?

I mean, is it going to be high walking in?

What's the situation going to be?

Oh, that's so Alabama.

They might sign somebody from the Lakers before the game tonight.

But they are, well, before that news, they're eight and a half point favorite.

The spread might have gone down a little bit.

But we'll call it eight and a half.

Where are you, Ryan, and your Michigan, Alabama?

I think there's just too much circus following Alabama right now.

So I think Michigan wins and may, they may even cover.

I think Michigan's really, really good to begin with.

But I'm on, I would probably bet Michigan.

Now, I'm with you.

I think Michigan wins by double digits than this one.

It's not close in the second half.

Give me the Wolverines.

Shannon?

Yeah, I'm sort of back and forth on Alabama.

You know, I thought they were decent throughout the season.

Then they get into the SEC tournament.

They lose their first round, first game.

They look terrible.

And then they get in the NCAA tournament.

They, they win a couple of games.

But I think Michigan's just going to be too much for them tonight.

So I'm going to go with Michigan.

Alabama covers Michigan wins.

Yeah.

I'll just be different.

I don't feel great about that.

Probably won't put my actual money on it.

But just so it's not a clean sweep.

I'll say Alabama gives them a game, but still goes home.

Uh, UConn, Michigan State.

UConn only a one and a half point favorite.

I'll go first.

Have UConn in my title game.

I think they win this one.

I'll say they cover the one and a half.

Go ahead.

I'm going Michigan State.

I think they get it done.

Is no believer.

Is no believer.

I think they're the more athletic team.

Dan Hurley's always making a nuisance of himself.

Do you see his comments yesterday?

Um, about the world being soft.

So, uh, I think they're, they're soft in this one.

And I'm going Michigan State.

Shannon, you go ahead.

I'm still trying to decide.

Yeah.

You know, like, I don't want to go against my bracket.

I have Michigan and Michigan State both in the final four.

So if I'm going to stay true to that,

I'm going to pick Michigan State money line tonight.

So two Michigan State and one Connecticut.

Yep.

My last memory of Connecticut is St. John's running them off the court

in the Big East title game.

They looked awful.

I'm going Michigan State.

All right, y'all.

Leave me on an island over here with all these picks.

In the final game,

uh, Iowa State, three and a half point favorite over Tennessee.

I cannot love Iowa State more.

Amen.

I admit I say that with hatred in my heart for Tennessee.

But, uh, let's go cyclones.

Joshua Jefferson is a game time decision.

Seems like that'd be a pretty quick turnaround for the injury head.

But they're, they seem optimistic internally over there at Iowa State.

So I'm, I'm rolling with Iowa State.

Yeah, I heard there.

I saw whether there's a really strong possibility.

He's going to play tonight.

We'll play a whole game.

But if you get 15 minutes out of it,

I mean, that's better than nothing.

But man, I'm a believer in Iowa State now.

After what I saw him do to us,

they just totally just that pressure.

So I'm going to play before we play them.

That's not a team we wanted.

No.

No, nasty.

I don't know if Tennessee expected to be here.

I think they're playing with a little bit of house money

after their, how their regular season went.

So that's a little dangerous.

But for our guy, our Kentucky fan from Knoxville,

I'm going with Iowa State.

Yeah, Dustin, over.

Thank you for having me.

You just said thank you.

Yep.

I'm going to take Iowa State.

I'll take the points as well.

And while I got you here,

I'm going to go ahead and read this,

because we have to.

Get one problem, 1-800-gambler-18-plus,

Kentucky-only-Electro-Body-Restrictions-Apply,

about a special spire of seven days after issuance.

For additional turns,

a responsible gaming resources

to dkng.co-slash-audio-limited-time-offer-on-draft-kings.

We also just can't let Tennessee keep making the elite eight.

They don't have that final four yet.

But will this be a third straight elite eight?

We can't let them keep knocking on the door,

because eventually they'll get through it.

We know what.

But, of course, the Tennessee only have 14 holes.

Here we go.

Because in Tennessee, they never played the final four.

Who's supposed to be in charge of them right now?

I'm hosting.

It can't be me.

Usually, I try to help.

Just come up with that joke on the spot, Ryan.

I've never heard that one.

It's not a joke.

It's fact.

None of the golf courses in Tennessee have 18 holes.

They never played the final four.

It doesn't get funnier if you're repeating.

Well, it's just the same segment as the boozer joke, too.

I can almost guess what the next one will be.

I did say to Holly.

There.

Okay.

Last one.

Let's get your predictions for Kentucky women versus Texas.

Yes.

As I mentioned, big points, Brad.

I think it's down to 14 and a half.

Wow.

Yeah.

Quickly.

We got...

Texas may win, but Kentucky covers.

I would bet Kentucky.

Yeah.

I'm picking Kentucky.

To cover.

I don't know about money line.

Shannon.

Yeah, we're all taking over to cover.

Let's go, Kat.

I've already bet on the cover.

You know what?

I'm going to take the money line.

I ain't scared.

You need scared.

Disrespectful number.

We got clearest track.

Let's all bet on it.

Kenny Brooks with all his swag.

Let's go for it.

We got a lot more.

We've come back.

This is KSR.

Drew Ryan, Billion, Shannon.

We're live at KS Bar and Grill.

Where people are rolling in.

TJ Smith, Personal Injury Attorney.

Call TJ.

He'll make them pay.

Now, more of Kentucky sports radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

Here's Matt Jones.

This is not Matt Jones.

This is Drew Franklin with a little Luke Combs there, Ron Lemon.

I like playing some Luke Combs.

A little Luke Combs.

This is him doing Alex Warren's ordinary.

Yeah.

I was listening this way on the way in.

So I put in a little request with Shannon.

I don't get to pick the music very often.

That's right.

I love Luke.

Luke's got a new album out.

And I only say that because I got a shout out my guy, Corey Hunt.

From Cainyville, Kentucky, who's in Luke's band, who just started his tour.

Big Cat's fan always was a bad skier.

So shout out to Luke.

And I think the band's called The Wildcarts.

But I listen to this song a lot.

Are you familiar?

Where is Cainyville?

It's a little west.

It's like, I passed through it on my way to Madisonville.

Have you ever heard of it?

Yeah, I've heard of it.

I didn't know where it is.

There'll be a Corey Hunt sign out there.

So don't you worry.

The shout out to Luke.

I know that's your boy.

What's your Luke's song?

Oh, Nick.

I was co-beer.

Never broke my heart.

All right.

That'll do.

What's the other cover he did recently?

He's really gotten into covers.

The bass car.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There we go.

I got to play a song.

That was cool.

Thanks for that moment, Shannon.

Very cool.

Am I doing it again later?

Yeah.

Might dial something else up.

There you go.

Let's go to the phone lines.

The Clarks pump a chop phone line.

I hear there are people that want to talk to us.

Let's go to Derek.

Hey, Derek.

Hello, Derek.

You guys were talking about, uh, you know, the women's basketball team.

And and teeny has got not one, not to the three McDonald's all Americans come in to next week.

In fact, he's tapped with the most protective in the game.

They protect you.

Kentucky got three companies for next year.

And so if he's getting it done on their presidential, unlike his counterpart at the Joe Crafson.

I appreciate the call.

He sure is including, uh, Madden Greenway, who's one of the best players in the class.

Kenny is building something big there.

And uh, during one more thing, I'd like to ask you back to it.

Um, you may.

On on on Thursday, April the 11th of 2024.

At 947, you tweeted out, um, respectively, what are we doing?

And then about 30 minutes later, you stated, um, you stated someone gave,

uh, Mitch, the company credit card, your chicken contenders.

Um, what?

What did you mean by those tweets?

And that's the night we heard Pope, by the way.

Yes.

Um, I think it's very clear.

I was nodding on the Popeye early.

In fact, people asked if I will do the tweets.

And for full disclosure, I'm still not in on it.

I've seen enough, uh, to quote Dave Losserman.

This is going to work.

Dave Losserman's a political analyst, but this isn't going to work.

Um, I know it.

And I just know it's not going to work.

But I just wondered what you meant by those tweets.

All right.

I appreciate the call.

Appreciate you going down my Twitter timeline there.

I'm getting called out here.

What do you mean by that, Drew?

Well, I owned it.

I people asked if I'll delete it.

And I said, no, I won't delete it.

That's how I felt that night.

I think a lot of us felt that way that night.

And by that, I think I said, Mitch went to Jeff Rubies and could get whatever wanted

and got the chicken tenders.

There's just a little analogy of like, we got all this money.

We got a lot of people interested.

And we're just going straight to the chicken tendees.

Do you think if now North Carolina does hire Billy Donovan?

Our fan base will bring that back up.

That, that time, you know, yes.

Absolutely.

Now, I'm not convinced Billy will be good.

He's been out of the game a long time.

You know, is he going to go into recruiting these house?

I mean, the parents will know, but do kids remember joke him, Noah?

And Al Horford and Florida that run?

I mean, Billy was great.

But it's been a long time in college basketball has changed.

If he does come back, yes, there will definitely be that reaction.

The kids may not remember him, but mom and dad remember him.

That's true.

You know, it's like I'm getting called out.

I'm a Pope comment therapist.

Was that a shot at me?

I was maybe a little bit of wanting an explanation.

I do like the nod to, I don't know if this was your purpose,

but like the chicken tenders thing.

I remember cowl or something.

Yes, it was also fresh with that.

There was layers to that tweet and it's still up.

Y'all can go look at it.

I'm not someone that's trying to fire Pope.

I'll see what he does next year.

But I'll admit, when it was first announced, I wasn't thrilled.

I don't think I was alone.

We all had that the moment we were over here at Manchester.

It's still a history for folks called in.

We're all like, hey, let's go to this press conference.

Let's try to get behind it.

But the night before, those were not my thoughts.

It's amazing if somebody did a 30 for 30 on that show

because when the show started, even before the show,

the mood was not great.

No.

But in the course of a two hour show, Mitch called into the show.

Got us on board.

You know, Mitch.

Tina released that video.

The big hype man, Mitch Barnard.

Got us fired up.

That may be the best call he's ever had.

Was that all that day?

And by the end of the show, we were all on board and excited

about Mark Pope taking the job.

I remember Shannon and I were pretty critical for the pre-show.

And people were agreeing, and then Matt comes on

and Goose joins the show, right?

That's right. Goose even called in.

Mitch joins.

And Rick Patino does that video, and it just completely flipped.

I mean, Drew, where were you at at noon or 1 p.m. that day

after tweeting that the night before?

I came around a little bit.

And also, I want to be clear.

I said respectfully, what are we doing?

I didn't say what are we doing.

I said respectfully.

I was trying to be nice.

Let's go to the phones.

Who's up next?

Maybe they have some old tweets.

Steven.

Hello, Steven.

Hi, guys.

Can you build this great account?

By the way, Litchfield territory.

I'll do that.

Okay.

What's up?

You hear me?

Yes.

Sorry, I interrupt you.

Carry on.

Oh, no, you're fine.

First time, long time.

I just wanted to ask, for the past two years,

we've kind of fallen down and kind of came back in games.

What do you think we can change next year that could stop that?

And shout out to my dad.

I'm sure he's probably listening.

Shout out to your dad as well.

Appreciate the call.

I know.

We try to diagnose that problem all year.

I think part of it is just getting them up for games.

We need a little more juice in the locker room beforehand,

whether you bring in an assistant that might be a little crazy

and fire them up.

But I think there's been some games with the other team

has punched first and Kentucky reacted.

We need to flip that next year and start throwing

the first punches.

Didn't we hear that like they changed the way they practiced?

Like the first, you know, 10, 20 minutes of practice

was full five on five, full contact.

And, you know, maybe that helped to a degree.

It got a little better.

But I don't know.

How do we get a sense of urgency at the start of the game?

It feels like that'd be a normal thing to come around, right?

Yeah, that was definitely a problem with this team.

We can only hope next year's rendition of whatever

Pope rolls out.

That narrative goes away.

But we battle that a lot this year.

You know, we all trust Jack Gibbons.

Jack go to practice.

He said that.

He goes, it all starts in practice.

And then he doesn't want to broke that story about.

They change things up.

How he start practice.

How they do in practice.

And it kind of seemed to work for this team.

And you remember when we were in St. Louis,

the Kentucky was the only team in the shooter round

that went five on five.

Well, they jumped out on Iowa State.

You know, the start was not the problem against Iowa State.

It was after that in the middle of the game.

So I don't know, man.

This is whatever reason it just didn't all click this year.

And you kind of hope things get better next year.

I mean, you got to work on that.

That's true.

So you're not subbing out these guys after a good start.

And then, you know, the game time back up.

I feel like I'm having just some PTSD with conversations.

We had all your going back to that.

Remember we're not going to negative town.

It's like that last caller tried to get me on that road.

You're right.

Pause it very true.

The Kentucky women are beating Texas tomorrow.

Kentucky baseball is an LSU.

Big weekend series for Rick Kentucky baseball.

And Kentucky's got a really good pitcher this year.

Their starter on Friday night starter.

Oh, my gosh.

What's his name?

Like Yellich or something like that?

I said Yellich, that's definitely not it.

And I should know him.

I'm having one of those moments where your brain goes boy.

He's already defeated.

He has more strikeouts than Endings pitched right now.

So Kentucky going down to LSU for this weekend series.

I'm looking forward to seeing how far they can go this year.

Have you made it out to the Kentucky Pearl Park this year?

I have not.

I have not.

Yeah, now the basketball is over.

I'll definitely go.

What is it?

Jelkin.

That's it.

Thank you, Billy.

UK softball isn't home this weekend.

They host Georgia.

The Georgia Lady Bulldogs are in with their John Crop Stadium.

They've had a rough season so far.

Let me get a turn around.

That's right.

Who's up next, Shannon?

Go to Barry.

Hello, Barry.

Hey, fellas.

How's everybody doing?

I don't know.

Billy worked, uh, uh, what's the big blue colon, uh, the show on six o'clock.

Last night, but Jack was on.

And, um, he was really, really, I'm, he spoke for about 15 minutes about Hawthorne.

And just said that he is a star in the making.

He's six, ten.

He could shoot.

I know, you know, wait till you see it in the game.

But if we have Marano, Hawthorne, Chandler, I still like Jess for Johnson.

I think it's a two because I think he can create a shot and get to the basket.

Maybe, you know, and I'd be in too positive thinking, okay, we might have a pretty good team next year.

We still need to bring some guys in, but there's a core that I think could be pretty good.

You're not crazy to all.

Appreciate the call.

There's, there's stuff to be excited about.

I mean, you have to go out and get some big fish with them.

We're gonna get some diamond stones, come on down if you want to.

I know Kentucky's haven't given up in that fight, but on Hawthorne, and you are there too, Ryan,

we only got to see a small.

A little bit of him, we don't get to go to practice, but we had the, what they call it, pro day.

Yeah.

And then we had that media day.

That's the only two times we saw him all year.

And man.

He can score.

It's just the the weight and the defense that I worry about.

But, you know, maybe he's been in the lab all year.

I haven't seen him since, that was October, but offensively, yes, he's exciting.

You're right, you know, you you can bring back Marano, Chandler.

Marino, Chandler, some of these guys.

But you lose all the way in Aberdeen.

You still gotta go get some dudes.

You lose your two best players.

You can't just re-cue what we've got coming back.

You, he has got to get some dudes.

And, you know, Pope has talked about in the past

how important it is another year in his system, right?

And we saw some guys take some leaps this past year.

You have a whole year to practice with the team.

Hopefully, Brain and Hawthorne's ready to go.

And a guy like Malachai Marino comes back

and becomes even more of a dominant forward.

It's very important to get those guys back

in the Stokes thing.

You know, Kansas is in a weird spot.

They're kind of waiting on cell.

Also, there's the whole Nike thing.

Stokes has already signed with Nike.

I mean, his Nike just gonna sit back

and let him go to an Adidas school.

I mean, Kansas is still the clear leader.

Jack Pilgrim had an update on our board

that Kentucky ain't dead yet though,

just because of the situation Kansas is in

and the hesitation to sign there.

Oregon is also slid in the mix.

That's his three.

That's another Nike school.

But I know fans want Stokes bad

and I'm not saying we should expect him to get here,

but it's not over yet.

Kentucky's still trying.

Even having just lost heart who was on him recently.

So something to watch.

It'd be nice if you put Stokes on the wing

with some of those guys back,

but we can all agree they have to go out

and find some stars.

You know, I threw it out there.

I know nothing, but you know,

Ty Kenny, if Bill Seltz does retire,

he may open up his recruitment.

He's a Kentucky kid.

Maybe if Stokes comes,

Kenny wants to play with him.

They thought they're gonna play together Kansas.

Let's just play together Kentucky.

Bring them both on over.

In the last two off seasons with Mark Pope recruiting,

you haven't gotten that really five star guy

that clearly the number one player in the class.

And so, you know,

after so many years of doing it with Cal,

you know, this would be a welcome return to that.

Shane, we got Scrooge McDuck money.

Let's just go.

Let's get all the stars.

Exactly.

Yeah, all this money.

Yeah, as Oscar would say,

and they're still begging us for money.

Well, I do like that they're optimistic internally

with Stokes that sounds like they're kind of including him

in their mindset of what they're recruiting for.

Yeah, you're still an underdog, but it ain't over yet.

You have to.

You have to go as strong as you can to get a kid like that

because you need that.

You need, like I said,

you gotta go get some dudes.

He's a dude.

Go get him.

And all the conversations with the turning players

are happening this week.

That news should be flying out soon.

We're heading into weekend for this show,

but the news will not slow down when this ends in 15 minutes.

And we saw Oaves starting to play 38 minutes of game

near the end.

So I mean, if there were concerns that Pope wouldn't play

the amount that you wanted or something like that,

hopefully that's been quelled a little bit.

Yep.

We got one more segment here at KS Bar and Grill.

Drew, Ryan, Billy, Shannon and the Louisville studio.

We'll be right back.

I have a little fun story I want to ask you all about.

This is KSR.

I love this song.

It's on.

I can tell.

Yeah, you're making some noises.

I don't want to hear from you.

Maybe happy.

Yeah, we got that.

I'll be happy.

It's up in all morning.

Okay.

The smile on your face right now.

Wow.

All right, we're at KS Bar and Grill.

One last segment.

Drew Franklin, very happy and smiling, Ron.

Billy Relid, Shannon The Dude.

Guys, other than that, first segment's been a fun show.

I don't get to drive very often.

I've enjoyed driving.

Now, I wanted to drive into this wall

when we couldn't get connected earlier.

That was a rough start for us.

I didn't...

Well, it wasn't your fault.

It was the equipment's fault.

I understand.

It was technology's fault, but starting the show

on the phones was a little bit of a curve ball

wasn't ready for it.

But look, we got to the switchover.

Yeah, we got it all over.

Five seconds.

We're fine.

Look at us.

Look at this.

Look at us.

Who would've thought?

Yeah, Shannon tells me you got full phone lines.

I had a topic.

I went.

I don't want to leave people on hold.

I'm hosting a couple of times next week.

We'll get to it later.

Let's get to these calls.

Who's up for sure?

Let's get a Roy.

Hello, Roy.

What's up?

Hey, guys.

Hey, Drew.

I'm DeSona.

We want to be positive today.

And, you know, after watching the first two years

where we got people scrambling trying to find

who can play point guard.

You know, the Moe, Liam, sons, recruiting news is good.

But, you know, we got to have a playmaking point guard.

That's probably what helped in the slow starts.

And even Malika, I think he regressed because

our offense was our sender coming 20 feet away

from the basket, trying to set a screen.

And hopefully, you know, I'll tell you what could get open

or everything have a good scoring game.

Our offense was just hard to watch.

I'll hang up and listen, guys.

Thank you.

Thank you for that.

Call one, two negative.

We can handle that.

We are in agreement.

Pope needs to go get a stud at point guard.

Let's go steal one of these guys.

We'll watch this year.

Vandy.

Go get him.

Tyler Tanner.

I would love to have Tyler Tanner.

I love Tyler Tanner.

Oregon's point guard's in the portal.

He's tough.

I've seen a lot of people mention Josh Hubbard.

He's unique because at Mississippi State,

he's just taking all the shots.

But I think we could reel him in here in Lexington.

But do you have to have a lefty point guard?

If Jalen Lowe's going to still be around,

the whole system's going to be around the lefty point guard.

I'd prefer an ambidextrous point guard.

Okay.

I remember a young age when I fell out of basketball pretty early.

Dribbling with both hands was a big thing,

even before our fifth grade team.

So let's get someone that can do that coming up.

That's why I really, I don't think Lowe's going to be back

because they're going to go out and get a top level stud point guard.

They got to.

They got to.

So I don't know if Lowe wants to stick around and share time

because he's strictly point guard.

He can't play a two guard.

He's strictly a point guard.

I'm up the belief and it's not specific to Lowe.

This is Kentucky.

If you can go upgrade or get the best in a position,

go do it.

Yeah.

And leave emotions out of it.

Who's up next?

Let's go to Daryl.

Hello, Daryl.

Thanks for calling in.

Hey, fellas. How you doing?

Oh, it's our boy, Daryl.

Oh, what's up, Daryl?

Well, then I know several quick things.

And then I thank you to Shane and the dude.

The big thing.

You know, I have more phone watching Arkansas and NCAA tournament.

Think Kentucky is sad to say.

I mean, they was fun to watch.

You know, I don't know where we start.

You know, I mean, there's not a lot of talent.

You know, in the 26th class here in Kentucky,

the younger classes.

We do got some kids.

I mean, you got a person.

He is Jordan Jackson.

But, you know, I don't know what we're going to do

with next year's class.

I mean, it's just stuff right now to be a UK fan.

You sound sad, Daryl.

Let's get some optimism.

Let's say they get some good recruits and Pope builds a decent roster.

You'd be smiling again.

We can't be complimenting Arkansas.

I'll say they're more fun.

Absolutely.

Listen, I'm bored of sitting here again.

I'll take a weekend.

I'll say it.

I mean, it's just stuff.

You know, and I mean, while we got looked forward to,

it was routine of beating those.

I mean, come on.

Where we failed to.

But, I do want to give a thank you to Shannon to do.

Shannon, my lady, I'm not lazy.

My five beats.

Lesson.

Oh, my goodness.

And Matt Jones relationship.

Yeah.

Showed with Matt.

And lesson.

Mama rock.

She, she come clean.

She told me that she was coming.

She was coming.

And off the street.

She said she's tired of playing in the brush.

She found the good wood.

Wow.

There you go.

Congratulations, Darryl.

There you go.

Thank you guys.

Yeah.

But y'all have a good show.

And let's look next year's better.

Yep.

You too.

Appreciate the college or your boredom.

I should have known he'd get a little Darryl shot in there.

But in a rough sense, we've heard that.

Darryl calls back in three.

Two.

One.

Let's get another one, Shannon.

All right.

Let's go to Matt.

All right.

Hello, Matt.

Thanks for coming in.

What's up, guys?

What's up, guys?

What's up, Matt?

I'm just sitting out here in the garden, eating meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans.

Thanks to wild time.

But I just, can I tell you a positive story about how much I appreciate your show?

Please.

We love compliments.

Um.

Well, that's all.

Thank you.

That's all positive story about how much I appreciate your show.

Please.

We love compliments.

Um.

Well, the other day I was at Lowe's in the big city of Hazard, looking for some starter plants for my garden.

And this real nice guy came and started talking to me, worked for the railroad company.

And he was giving me some tips to improve my garden.

We got to talking.

He said, yeah, I like to sit outside until it gets dark, maybe smoke a cigar.

And I said, well, that's kind of like a form of meditation.

And he went, wait a minute.

Are you the guy that calls in at KSR?

And I said, yeah, he was like, oh, man, I got to get a picture with y'all my buddies.

And we love when you call in.

And you all connect people that I would never meet and make friends with.

And so I appreciate you all so much.

And this was a wonderful thing that y'all created.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for saying that we appreciate the call.

It sure is something we've created.

Stop.

Sometimes it works, which makes it even more fun.

But thanks for the compliment.

Good luck with your garden.

I know it's garden season.

Boys, next week we don't have Matt again.

He's out all week.

That's right.

You know where he's going?

Do you do anything big?

Did he say we're villainy plans?

I don't know.

Other than him going to the games this weekend in Washington, D.C.

In my understanding, you and I are going to just take turns here.

We're going to do a football talk.

That's going on.

Didn't get into him much this week, spring football ahead.

And then Friday, Matt gave us an assignment.

He said, go do something fun.

He mentioned sitting by your pool.

I mean, we've done that.

Nothing against it.

Maybe we'll do that.

But if anybody has some ideas, let's get out and maybe we'll get some good weather and have some fun on it next Friday.

Well, we were talking about during the break.

You know, we've got free rain to go where we want to go.

We've never been to Atwell, Indiana.

I mean, I know it's just three hours away.

Billy, I should have asked you.

You're not going that well.

Let's, let's, let's, let's, let's show your hometown.

Okay.

That's hometown.

That's hometown.

This will be fun.

Go Kentucky women tomorrow.

They play at three.

Watch the game at KS bar.

If you're in Lexington, we're going to get this dub over Texas.

Y'all have a good weekend.

Thanks for listening.

KSR.

Hello, it is Ryan.

And I was on a flight the other day playing one of my favorite social spin slot games on chumbacacena.com.

I looked over the person sitting next to me.

I want to take a second to talk about something that's personal to me.

I've had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time.

And one thing I've always respected is how seriously he takes up standing up to hate.

As a Jewish athlete, my identity is something I am proud of.

But I also know what it feels like to be singled out for it.

That's why this new commercial for the Blue Square Alliance against hate.

That aired during the big game really hit home.

It's about showing up for someone when they're targeted.

Even if you don't have the perfect words.

And sometimes standing next to someone is enough.

And you can show support by sharing the Blue Square.

No one knows what the future holds.
