1
00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it is hump Day. Welcome to the Big Moon.

2
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:05.879
<v Speaker 1>Sider Dick Gabriel with you on a Wednesday edition of

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>our program. We are one day closer to Kentucky football,

4
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>in fact, thirty one days away. And that's according to

5
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Corey Price on ex Twitter. If you will, he is

6
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.519
<v Speaker 1>doing something that I used to do on WKYT's website,

7
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and that's every day leading up he would post a

8
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.839
<v Speaker 1>photo from a UK game or practice with the player

9
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>and their jersey number corresponding. Only fitting that he used

10
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Maxwell Harriston's number thirty one today because Maxwell, a junior,

11
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>has been named to the Jim Thorpe Award preseason watch list,

12
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>given by the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and the

13
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:47.079
<v Speaker 1>Jim Thorpe Association forty two of the nation's top defensive backs.

14
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>So keep an eye on that for Maxwell, and if

15
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.799
<v Speaker 1>he jumps up and improves over the season he had

16
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>last year, he'll be in the running. Because this is

17
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 1>a guy who was burned in a game a couple

18
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>of years ago, didn't get a chance to play much

19
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>at all, but last year pressed into service five interceptions

20
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>four in the SEC, including two in the Vandy game

21
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>that went for six two pick sixes against Vanderbilt. His

22
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>five picks tied for fifth most in a single season

23
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:24.079
<v Speaker 1>in program history. The most Sinse Sam Maxwell picked off

24
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>six in twenty oh nine. Sam was a linebacker, but

25
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Maxwell at corner had one hundred and thirty one interception

26
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 1>return yards. That's the most since my man Greg Long

27
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>had one hundred and seventy six back in nineteen eighty one.

28
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>So Maxwell Harrison he had a solid season, not just

29
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>that Vandy game, but had a solid season. But those

30
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 1>two pick sixes allowed him to lead the SEC with

31
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 1>a total of those five in eight SEC games and

32
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>passed eleven passes defended in twenty twenty three. So he

33
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 1>is on the Thorpe Award preseason watch list. In Meanwhile,

34
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>two of his teammates are on the Outland Trophy watch list.

35
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Eli Cox and Dion Walker names you know well. Eli

36
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.439
<v Speaker 1>is a veteran, a super senior from Nicholasville. He is

37
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 1>six four to three eleven and he helped the course

38
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>block for Ray Davis last year. Another thousand yard rusher

39
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 1>for the Wildcats. Preseason second team All Conference pick by

40
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>SEC coaches, and of course Dion Walker is a superstar

41
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 1>in the making. Six six three forty eight d lineman

42
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 1>from detroited junior, probably playing in his last season as

43
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>a Kentucky Wildcat, but led Kentucky and tackles for loss

44
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.039
<v Speaker 1>with twelve and a half, quarterback sacks seven and a half,

45
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.919
<v Speaker 1>quarterback hurries with eight, and of course the hurries are

46
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>what can lead to interceptions. He had those two pass breakups.

47
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.639
<v Speaker 1>Remember the one he had against Florida. He drilled a

48
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 1>receiver Bob Pops in the air, it was picked off

49
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 1>and returned to the fifteen yard line led to a

50
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>uk A touchdown. So Dion Walker is on the list

51
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>as well as Eli Cox. The Atland Trophy going to

52
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>the best lineman offense or defense in the country. So

53
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>we'll keep an eye on that for you, but also

54
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye on Kentucky football. The pace of the game,

55
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 1>the tempo. We've talked really over the last few days

56
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>when we talk about Kentucky's offense about the changes under

57
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Bush Hamden and the pace of play, something that Mark

58
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Stoops talked about at the kickoff luncheon on Monday. Hamden

59
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>talked a lot about that, but one of the things

60
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Stoops mentioned was the fact that they were really looking

61
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>and making a change. Before Liam Cone even left, he

62
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 1>wanted more pace in the offense, and after the spring

63
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>he said they were getting it, and he's excited about

64
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 1>what he thinks they're going to be seeing this season.

65
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, the bottom line is winning games, right Tom,

66
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and everybody can relate to that. I mean,

67
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 2>we have to win games by any means necessary. And heck,

68
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>you could go back, you know, to the job and

69
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 2>he's on my staff and does a wonderful job with

70
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Eddie Grant, And we were just talking, Tom, you and

71
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 2>I were just talking about the year that well.

72
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the nineteen when you had to change in put

73
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 1>a wide receiver in a quarterback.

74
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just the creativity that Eddie Grant had and we

75
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>did the things necessary to play defense. Ran the ball, quarterback,

76
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>run the ball, and just by any means necessary. As

77
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>we progressed, as we start recruiting impact players, you know,

78
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 2>guys like that that that need touches. You know, one

79
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 2>of the conversations Bush and I talk about now is

80
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:49.639
<v Speaker 2>number one. Yeah, the urgent to get plays off faster.

81
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's no secret. Heck, before Liam, you know,

82
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 2>we made a change or anything like that. We were

83
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 2>talking about that because I didn't like it last year.

84
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 2>I didn't like the fact that we're always getting down

85
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>to one, two, three, four seconds left on the place

86
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 2>and play clock to get plays off. We have playmakers

87
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Speaker 2>that we have to get ball.

88
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned this to Tom Leach when he was on

89
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.839
<v Speaker 1>the show with me yesterday or Monday. It all runs together, anyhow.

90
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I remember when Rich Brooks responded to criticism and complaints

91
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>about the offense and about how they don't do enough

92
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 1>of this or that they don't get the ball to

93
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>this guy or that guy. Why don't you throw to

94
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the tight ends more, Why don't you throw down the

95
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 1>field more? Why don't you do more on offense? And

96
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 1>at the time, they were struggling to get off more

97
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 1>than fifty to fifty five plays, and Brooks kept reminding people, Look,

98
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 1>if you don't have a lot of plays, you're not

99
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>going to get a chance to involve a lot of

100
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 1>play makers. And obviously that's what Stoops was talking about

101
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.279
<v Speaker 1>when he mentioned this in front of the crowd at

102
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 1>the kickoff luncheon on Monday. So if they can improve

103
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 1>the pace of play, not grind the clock down. And

104
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure why that was happening if Devin Leary

105
00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>was having trouble with the offense, if the offense was

106
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>too complicated, too much verbiage in the huddle, you know,

107
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 1>if it took forever to call the play. Jeff Picorro

108
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 1>has talked a lot about that, how long it call

109
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>takes to call a play again, all the verbage. They

110
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>tried to cut that down. That's one thing they really

111
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>tried to cut down with rich Gangarello, And apparently one

112
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.399
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons he's not here anymore was he didn't

113
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>want to cooperate with that notion. If they call it

114
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>dumbing down but simplifying for college players, play calls that

115
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe you can get in the NFL, but you're not

116
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>going to fully get right away in the college game.

117
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.360
<v Speaker 1>So if that happens for the Wildcats this year, then yeah,

118
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 1>you'll see the ball go more the tight ends. You'll

119
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 1>see the ball swung out the running backs. And I

120
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.959
<v Speaker 1>think you're going to see that regardless in Hampden's offense.

121
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.319
<v Speaker 1>But you're going to see more of the up tempo play,

122
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>not no huddle, but short huddle, quick huddle, maybe some

123
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>no huddle, and maybe we'll be talking about pace of

124
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 1>play football season the way apparently we're going to talk

125
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>about throughout basketball season as well. Speaking of you're gonna

126
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.199
<v Speaker 1>hear from more of the Wildcats tonight, both the men

127
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and the women. That comes up in our number two

128
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.199
<v Speaker 1>as we get a chance to talk to all these

129
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 1>new faces on campus, so you'll get to know even

130
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>more of the players on both ends of the building.

131
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Coming up in our number two at the bottom of

132
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the hour, Sean Woods is going to join us. He

133
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.360
<v Speaker 1>is on his way to Philadelphia. He is driving. They

134
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.839
<v Speaker 1>got him driving along with another assistant coach, John Hood,

135
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.639
<v Speaker 1>to the TBT tournament up there. But there is a

136
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>new lead on that story, the one that happened the

137
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>other night as La Familia beat the Louisville team the

138
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Ville and of course, after that game was over, in

139
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Nate Sestina throwing the l's down in mid court, Shinanu

140
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Onuaku spit on him and that caused a ruckus after

141
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the game, not a brawl, but you know, a near

142
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>fight in the end zone. It took him a while

143
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to separate those teams, and Sean Woods was right in

144
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the middle of it, trying to pull people apart. But

145
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Onawako has apologized. He issued an apologize an apology on

146
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday afternoon. We didn't have it when we went on

147
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.439
<v Speaker 1>the air last night, but he did post to his

148
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>ex account he said, I want to apologize for my

149
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>actions following last night's game. He said, I let my

150
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 1>emotions in pride for my university overcome me in the moment.

151
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I love my U of L and I love this town.

152
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 1>L's up. So I guess that's the end of it.

153
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 1>But he did after the game. Immediately after the game

154
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>tweets that he had told Cistina to stop and not

155
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>disrespect their court. Tyler Eulis responded with a tweet they said,

156
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.279
<v Speaker 1>how many did you call him throughout the game? You

157
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.440
<v Speaker 1>knew what he was doing. Pick the guy who causes

158
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.759
<v Speaker 1>no problems. It's just basketball. Tough guys don't spit on

159
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>people and then play victim. So Onawaku has apologized and

160
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>for all intent and purposes, that's the end of it,

161
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>at least as far as that incident is concerned. But

162
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.919
<v Speaker 1>La Familia will play in Philadelphia against the team primarily

163
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>of Ohio State of Lums and we'll hear from Seawan

164
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.679
<v Speaker 1>Woods coming up. At the bottom of the hour Also

165
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>an hour number two, Gary Moore, our West End bureau chief.

166
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>So the Olympics have been going on all day, as

167
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, we pre record, so I'm not totally up

168
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 1>to the minute, but a lot of great and weird

169
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>things have been happening in Paris. We'll talk about that

170
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:35.080
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of the break here on a

171
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 1>Big Blue Sider six point thirty WLAP. Welcome back to

172
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.679
<v Speaker 1>the Big Blue Insider. Coming up in just a few minutes,

173
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Sean Woods, the assistant coach for the TBT team, to

174
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Eulis. He and John Hood are driving up to Philadelphia.

175
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:51.120
<v Speaker 1>By the time you hear this, they're probably going to

176
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.919
<v Speaker 1>be there at least pretty close. Also an hour number two,

177
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.679
<v Speaker 1>the basketball Wildcats men and women, and our West End

178
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.360
<v Speaker 1>bureau chief, Gary Moore, back with us. I've been off

179
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of weeks on the West Coast doing

180
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 1>some business, and then I was on vacation, so it's

181
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.519
<v Speaker 1>been a little while since we checked in with Gary,

182
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 1>but we'll be doing that in just a minute. Just

183
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.559
<v Speaker 1>some incredible stories, some weird stories, funny ones going on

184
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.799
<v Speaker 1>with the Olympics. I think the biggest story today was

185
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 1>earlier today and a lot's happened since since we recorded this,

186
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:25.279
<v Speaker 1>since you listened, and they started earlier today in Paris time.

187
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>They're six hours ahead of us. But the triathlon got underway.

188
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.919
<v Speaker 1>How about that in the Sane River. It was postponed

189
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:38.399
<v Speaker 1>today because it was polluted, well polluted to the point

190
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>where they were afraid to get it started. But when

191
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.759
<v Speaker 1>they tested it this morning early today in USA time,

192
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.799
<v Speaker 1>apparently the water was clean enough to where they would compete.

193
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:53.919
<v Speaker 1>Now they had and they have had a lot of

194
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 1>rain there, so clearly that helped. And that's I don't

195
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 1>use that word ironically, but French officials have called it

196
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 1>an historic day for the Olympic triathlon competitions held in

197
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 1>that river that had just twenty four hours prior been

198
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:15.559
<v Speaker 1>deemed unsafe, he said. One of the former French rugby

199
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:19.039
<v Speaker 1>international now Deputy Mayor of Paris in charge of sport

200
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>for the Olympic Games, Pierre Rabadon, said this is an

201
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.879
<v Speaker 1>historic day for Paris and the Olympics and for ecology

202
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.159
<v Speaker 1>and the environment, and he talked about skepticism they had

203
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>been facing for the last ten years when they bid

204
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.559
<v Speaker 1>on the Games, saying we can have the triathlon in

205
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the Seine, and people back then said, no, you cannot

206
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.799
<v Speaker 1>because it's a garbage dump. It's terrible, and they said

207
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.639
<v Speaker 1>we'll clean it up, and they spent basically one and

208
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.879
<v Speaker 1>a half billion dollars American to clean up the river

209
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>and still didn't get it done well enough to avoid

210
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 1>a delay. But they finally got into the water today

211
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.600
<v Speaker 1>it was deemed safe enough, they had the race and

212
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Alex Yee of Great Britain came charging from behind to

213
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.440
<v Speaker 1>win the gold medal. So in the triathlon now the

214
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>last leg is the bicycle, so it's not like he

215
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>was charging through the water to win it, but he

216
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>did have to deal with the water, and evidently it

217
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:30.320
<v Speaker 1>was close enough. So Alex Ye beats Hayden Wild of

218
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 1>the Netherlands to come up with the wind. And I'm

219
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>sure if you tune in tonight you'll see the finish

220
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 1>at some point. But they got it done. They got

221
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.759
<v Speaker 1>it done in that nasty water, and they don't have

222
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:48.399
<v Speaker 1>to do it again. The American women who play rugby,

223
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>they're the ones I think who have made the greatest headlines.

224
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.159
<v Speaker 1>And this happened I think yesterday, and I couldn't get

225
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.759
<v Speaker 1>it on the air in time, but it was what

226
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.159
<v Speaker 1>they call the rugby sevens. That's where they play. Instead

227
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.080
<v Speaker 1>of fifteen people on each side, there are seven and

228
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.799
<v Speaker 1>they played two seven minute halves and it's an exciting

229
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.559
<v Speaker 1>brand of rugby. I covered rugby when I was a

230
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.639
<v Speaker 1>freshman in UK for the UK newspaper, so you may

231
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.720
<v Speaker 1>have seen this already. But what happened. It was twelve

232
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.720
<v Speaker 1>to seven. Australia scored a try which is worth five points,

233
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:27.240
<v Speaker 1>and missed the conversion, which is worth two points, so

234
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:28.919
<v Speaker 1>they kind of left the door open. But in the

235
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.919
<v Speaker 1>closing seconds it looked like they were going to be

236
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:35.519
<v Speaker 1>able to run out of the clock, but somehow on

237
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.440
<v Speaker 1>what essentially was the other team's five yard line, Australia

238
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.919
<v Speaker 1>after it missed the conversion, and these conversions are I

239
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.759
<v Speaker 1>mean right in front of the goalposts and there's nobody

240
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:47.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to block it. They just missed it. But they

241
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>kicked off and buried the Americans. It looked like back

242
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>on their own essentially five yard line, but USA somehow

243
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:00.480
<v Speaker 1>worked the clock out and got the ball to Alex

244
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Cedric running essentially around right end. She burst past a

245
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:10.519
<v Speaker 1>couple of defenders and went ninety five yards eighty five

246
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:14.840
<v Speaker 1>meters ninety five yards for the try that tied it up.

247
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.320
<v Speaker 1>And if you're watching, they have to touch it down.

248
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.799
<v Speaker 1>It is truly a touchdown, and rugby you have to

249
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.639
<v Speaker 1>touch the ball down in the end zone. She did that,

250
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:27.519
<v Speaker 1>dives across and then she kicked the conversion that gave

251
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the Americans a medal for the first time. The last

252
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>American team to win a medal came in nineteen twenty

253
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.600
<v Speaker 1>four by the men's fifteen. It's the first women's rugby

254
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.759
<v Speaker 1>medal for USA rugby and Olympics history. And this is

255
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>what it sounded like on NBC.

256
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:51.559
<v Speaker 3>Sedric Spiff, Cedric's so why Cedric up out of the

257
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.120
<v Speaker 3>fifteenth the photing She's gonna take it all the way,

258
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Cedric for their US.

259
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:04.039
<v Speaker 1>And I am all the time myself.

260
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Right now it is level at twelve a piece.

261
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:14.440
<v Speaker 4>The conversion will win the bronze medal for Team USA.

262
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:16.120
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Sammy, we got you.

263
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Calm down.

264
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:18.799
<v Speaker 3>It's all down to the kick.

265
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:26.759
<v Speaker 5>Wow, just wow, this is.

266
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Going to be the easier kick right down the max.

267
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:29.399
<v Speaker 6>There it is.

268
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:35.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh there it is Cedric with the conversion and Team

269
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:38.639
<v Speaker 4>USA make history in Paris.

270
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:44.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, that is a lazy.

271
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:48.320
<v Speaker 4>Alone of mother hands in the air. They've done what

272
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:53.879
<v Speaker 4>no other American rugby team in sevens have ever done before.

273
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:59.600
<v Speaker 4>One hundred years after the men's fifteen a side team

274
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.960
<v Speaker 4>won the gold medal in this city against France.

275
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely amazing. It was so entertaining and what a moment

276
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:13.759
<v Speaker 1>for USA rugby. But imagine that busting off of play

277
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>at the very end of the game to win it.

278
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.039
<v Speaker 1>American men ended a twenty four year wait to reach

279
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the quarterfinals of Olympics soccer. They beat Ginea three to nothing,

280
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.519
<v Speaker 1>so now they will play in the knockout phase against

281
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Morocco on Friday. But that's a huge step forward for

282
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the USA men's team. And they were playing for the

283
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.440
<v Speaker 1>first time in the Olympics since Beijing of twenty oh eight.

284
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:44.440
<v Speaker 1>They actually qualified, so that's a big win for USA soccer.

285
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.399
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, all kinds of big moments happening right

286
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:51.799
<v Speaker 1>now in the Olympics in Paris for not just the

287
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:55.919
<v Speaker 1>USA but other countries as well, naturally, but none of

288
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:01.279
<v Speaker 1>One of the headline making events was gymnastics by the

289
00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:05.000
<v Speaker 1>women's team by Team USA, as you know, led by

290
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:10.559
<v Speaker 1>Simone Biles who posted on social media after the win,

291
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:16.160
<v Speaker 1>took a stab at one of her former teammates, at MICHAELA. Skinner,

292
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.960
<v Speaker 1>who won the silver medal on vault. Back in twenty twenty.

293
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Skinner had posted a video on YouTube after the Olympic

294
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:29.160
<v Speaker 1>trials criticizing the team's talent, depth and work ethic. Everybody

295
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>beyond Simone Bios. She said, beyond simone, I feel like

296
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the talent and depth just isn't what it used to be. Obviously,

297
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of girls just don't work as hard, they

298
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:44.440
<v Speaker 1>don't have the work ethic. And she later issued an apology,

299
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.880
<v Speaker 1>said she was misinterpreted, misunderstood and issued a formal apology.

300
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.359
<v Speaker 1>But Simone Biles, she wasn't having it. She posted on

301
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:58.279
<v Speaker 1>social media a photo of herself and her teammates hoisting

302
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the gold medals with the these six words quote lack

303
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:07.440
<v Speaker 1>of talent, comma lazy, comma Olympic champion. So yeah, that's

304
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.799
<v Speaker 1>a dig at Skinner, even though she had apologized, But

305
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:15.759
<v Speaker 1>can you blame her? I really can't. While we're talking Olympics,

306
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:20.039
<v Speaker 1>so mentioned yesterday the men's bronze medal that the team

307
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:24.799
<v Speaker 1>won first time in forever and the guy who clinched

308
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:28.640
<v Speaker 1>it was the one man who did one event, the

309
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:33.640
<v Speaker 1>pommel horse Stephen Netterasik. And now he has become famous

310
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.880
<v Speaker 1>quite frankly because of memes and video and all that.

311
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:41.319
<v Speaker 1>And his girlfriend is too. Her name is Tess McCracken.

312
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.799
<v Speaker 1>You couldn't write a better story. This guy looks like

313
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.039
<v Speaker 1>a nerd, admits he's a nerd, and has a girlfriend

314
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 1>named Tess. She is a retired gymnast. They lived together

315
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.480
<v Speaker 1>in Sarasota, Florida. That's where he competes and trains. She

316
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.240
<v Speaker 1>also went to Penn State and works remotely as a

317
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:06.359
<v Speaker 1>project manager in cell and gene therapy for a biopharmaceutical

318
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:12.000
<v Speaker 1>contract research organization based in Pennsylvania. So she's a nerd too.

319
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:16.279
<v Speaker 1>They met on their first day at Penn State, both gymnasts,

320
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and they were an athlete orientation together. They hit it off,

321
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.880
<v Speaker 1>they started dating. Now they're together and she is basically

322
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:28.640
<v Speaker 1>as much now of a celebrity as he is. People

323
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.799
<v Speaker 1>look at those horn room glasses and they refer to

324
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:35.039
<v Speaker 1>him now as Clark Kent and when he takes them off. Superman,

325
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:37.880
<v Speaker 1>she said, used to be Tom Holland, the actor and

326
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Spider Man, but now Superman and she says, I firmly agree.

327
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:46.119
<v Speaker 1>So that's one of the great sidebar stories to come

328
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:49.079
<v Speaker 1>up out of the Olympics in Paris. John Woods is

329
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:50.519
<v Speaker 1>next here on six to thir welcome back to the

330
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Big Blue Insider joining us. Now, really it could be

331
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a tag team event because each week we talk with

332
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Sean Woods, the unforgettable guard. He is as we speak,

333
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.920
<v Speaker 1>having the Philadelphia for TBT action. They're in the final

334
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.519
<v Speaker 1>four for me and alongside of him. I don't know

335
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:10.359
<v Speaker 1>if it's a Batman and Robin thing or Duke's of hazard,

336
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:13.720
<v Speaker 1>but John Hood assistant coach, how you guys doing? Are

337
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:14.559
<v Speaker 1>you hanging in there?

338
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:16.799
<v Speaker 7>We hang it? We hang it good.

339
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Sean, let me ask you what both of you because

340
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:23.720
<v Speaker 1>you were both out there playing peacemaker and the guy

341
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:27.400
<v Speaker 1>who spat on Nathans seeing in his sense, apologized for

342
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:31.279
<v Speaker 1>whatever that's worth. But uh uh, just I had to

343
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:33.240
<v Speaker 1>shake my head. You know, this is supposed to be

344
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.559
<v Speaker 1>a fun thing, but a competitive thing. Did well. I

345
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:39.319
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say it was inevitable, but did it

346
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:43.480
<v Speaker 1>feel like a situation coach, where something could happen at

347
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the end of that game the other night.

348
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:48.599
<v Speaker 7>Well, they get pretty cheapy. I mean, it was, it was,

349
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.480
<v Speaker 7>it was. It was you know, that type of game,

350
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:55.799
<v Speaker 7>that type of atmosphere. It was a typical U of

351
00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:01.480
<v Speaker 7>L situation. But you know, like people say, miners don't

352
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:04.400
<v Speaker 7>change their stripes, and some of those guys that you know,

353
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:07.599
<v Speaker 7>acting kind of out of character, that has been their character,

354
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:10.240
<v Speaker 7>you know, even when they were at the University Nobles.

355
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.279
<v Speaker 7>So you know, it's unfortunate and the ultimate saying, you know,

356
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.000
<v Speaker 7>from a personal person who has been in somebody's face,

357
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:22.880
<v Speaker 7>and that was just so disrespectful. But the good thing is,

358
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.440
<v Speaker 7>you know, it could have gotten worse, the situation, the outcome,

359
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:31.519
<v Speaker 7>because it wasn't that many security people there, So thank

360
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:32.160
<v Speaker 7>God for that.

361
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:35.799
<v Speaker 1>What was it like for you guys to have to

362
00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:38.200
<v Speaker 1>dive in there and pull these grown men away from

363
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:38.680
<v Speaker 1>each other?

364
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:43.720
<v Speaker 7>Well, so that was part of it until big Daluel

365
00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:47.079
<v Speaker 7>Orton came and it was you guy, the giant showed up.

366
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:49.400
<v Speaker 7>Everybody kind of backed off a little bit.

367
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:54.440
<v Speaker 1>John Hood. Did you expect to have to get in

368
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:56.200
<v Speaker 1>there and show some muscle.

369
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.960
<v Speaker 6>Well, I was never I wasn't in it.

370
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, I.

371
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.559
<v Speaker 6>Grabbed I grabbed Nate and kind of pulled him away

372
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.720
<v Speaker 6>and tried to tried to de escalate the situation that way,

373
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:13.279
<v Speaker 6>and then I had no idea until I saw all

374
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:16.799
<v Speaker 6>the footage yesterday kind of what had going on behind me.

375
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:19.240
<v Speaker 7>So it was uh.

376
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:22.440
<v Speaker 6>And there were a couple of times where where it

377
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:27.559
<v Speaker 6>got really really chippy, and like Coach would said, there

378
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:31.039
<v Speaker 6>tigers don't change their strikes. You kind of expect something

379
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.160
<v Speaker 6>to happen. You didn't expect it to be that way,

380
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:36.680
<v Speaker 6>and that severe one after the game.

381
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, Sean, let me ask you a little bit.

382
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:42.240
<v Speaker 1>You and I spoke before the tournament began about the coaching,

383
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:44.519
<v Speaker 1>and John will asked you as well, But sewn at

384
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:47.039
<v Speaker 1>what point? And I love the fact that both head

385
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.200
<v Speaker 1>coaches are miked up and you were right in the

386
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:52.039
<v Speaker 1>middle of one and John I heard you as well.

387
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:54.920
<v Speaker 1>But Sewna heard you helping Tyler. You listen, you talked

388
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:58.039
<v Speaker 1>about how you are You're there to help Tyler and

389
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:00.359
<v Speaker 1>he turned to you late in the game and when

390
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.559
<v Speaker 1>you guys just needed that big shot and you were

391
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.240
<v Speaker 1>advising him on what to run. How much fun was that?

392
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:11.559
<v Speaker 7>What's been fun the whole week? You know, there's only

393
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:14.519
<v Speaker 7>two guys with experienced and coach that's me and and

394
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:17.480
<v Speaker 7>Hood and Thalas never coached before. But he's done a

395
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:22.000
<v Speaker 7>great job of just really navigating and taking information from

396
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:25.440
<v Speaker 7>John and I and trying to you know, implement it,

397
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:27.680
<v Speaker 7>you know, his own way. But you know he's a

398
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:29.920
<v Speaker 7>humble young man, and you know he knew you know,

399
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.960
<v Speaker 7>he has guys around him that that you know, are

400
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:35.799
<v Speaker 7>ventures at the situation and you know, he just asked

401
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:38.000
<v Speaker 7>me to deal that he's never been involved with, never

402
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.720
<v Speaker 7>been in that situation before, and you know I helped

403
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:43.359
<v Speaker 7>him out. We gave him something. That's that's what we're

404
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:43.680
<v Speaker 7>here for.

405
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Last night on the show, I said that it looked

406
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:49.119
<v Speaker 1>to me down the stretch, you guys had a lot

407
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:51.440
<v Speaker 1>of those empty possessions when all you needed were six

408
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:53.720
<v Speaker 1>more points with the helm rule. I just saw it.

409
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Both teams were really tired because both teams I thought,

410
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:00.920
<v Speaker 1>played pretty hard. Did I read that right, No doubt

411
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:01.279
<v Speaker 1>about it.

412
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:02.640
<v Speaker 7>You know it's the team set in.

413
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

414
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:06.519
<v Speaker 7>And then also it kind of gets tight when you

415
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:08.359
<v Speaker 7>get in that when when you get to that point,

416
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:11.359
<v Speaker 7>and uh, you know, I thought we saidled a little

417
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:14.359
<v Speaker 7>bit just to come to fatigue because we always had

418
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:18.319
<v Speaker 7>success when we're attacking the basket, but then we settled

419
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.000
<v Speaker 7>down after after we caught a time out and rest.

420
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Of district, John, were you surprised it was Andrew and

421
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:25.960
<v Speaker 1>that Aaron Harrison who hit that shot at the end.

422
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:29.720
<v Speaker 6>That, uh, that was a little a little strange because

423
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:32.799
<v Speaker 6>I was a part of that run where Aaron couldn't

424
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:37.039
<v Speaker 6>miss late in the game. But what what I loved

425
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:40.079
<v Speaker 6>about it was the i Q that was shown all

426
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:41.119
<v Speaker 6>games by Airplap.

427
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Though.

428
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and he didn't have his best game statistic wise,

429
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 6>he I know, he got the biggest sifts to Tony

430
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:50.920
<v Speaker 6>and put him in the right spot for for that

431
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:55.000
<v Speaker 6>driple drive kind of pitch back. He got the switch

432
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:58.599
<v Speaker 6>on the on the game winner, attacked Peril and Drew

433
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:03.880
<v Speaker 6>I think for guys, so whoever was out there, I mean,

434
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:07.839
<v Speaker 6>it was all going to them, but it was it

435
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:09.720
<v Speaker 6>was interesting that it was Andrew not Aaron.

436
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:12.880
<v Speaker 1>We're talking to Sean Woods and John Hood former Wildcat,

437
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:16.200
<v Speaker 1>well once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat, but assistant coaches

438
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:19.480
<v Speaker 1>for lat of me. They are actually driving to Philadelphia.

439
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I will leave that alone while you're not on a plane.

440
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:25.720
<v Speaker 1>That's not my business. But I appreciate the effort and

441
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:28.039
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you being with us as always. We talked to

442
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Sean every week here on the Big Blue Insider and

443
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:34.559
<v Speaker 1>they're assisting Tyler Ewlis and guys. Has it been what

444
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.240
<v Speaker 1>you hoped it would be in terms of your interaction

445
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:39.839
<v Speaker 1>with the veteran players. These guys are every one of

446
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:44.240
<v Speaker 1>them professionals except for maybe Brnan Canada. But they're all

447
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:47.839
<v Speaker 1>professionals and they know how to be coached. Is that right?

448
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:52.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's been joyful for me, you know, and these

449
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.759
<v Speaker 7>guys have been very receptive. The good thing is, you know,

450
00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:01.240
<v Speaker 7>after the first two, three, four days in and they

451
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:04.039
<v Speaker 7>realize that, you know, it's bigger than just the tvt

452
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:08.319
<v Speaker 7>and you know, they they the Kentucky switch kind of

453
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 7>turned on a little bit. And I'm telling you that's

454
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:13.319
<v Speaker 7>what's been caring is because these guys are really bought in,

455
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.240
<v Speaker 7>you know, especially defensively. You know, more sold and more

456
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:20.920
<v Speaker 7>teams in this tournament, and you know, we've been pretty disciplined.

457
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 7>We've been you know, preparing just like we normally doing,

458
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:26.720
<v Speaker 7>you know, in a normal school situation. So you know,

459
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:31.519
<v Speaker 7>it's been it's been an interesting but really gratifying experience

460
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:34.559
<v Speaker 7>to coach pros and the good thing about it is

461
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:38.359
<v Speaker 7>these guys really know you know when to turn it

462
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:41.880
<v Speaker 7>on and and that's been, you know, so gratifying to us.

463
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:46.599
<v Speaker 1>John, you are coaching at the small college level now. Sean,

464
00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:48.799
<v Speaker 1>of course taking a year off, he's a veteran of

465
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the college coaching wars. Uh, And I'm wondering what it's

466
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.240
<v Speaker 1>been like for you guys, because the players have all

467
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:58.160
<v Speaker 1>talked about the joy they have found in coming back,

468
00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and you've been back on campus, I know. But and Sean,

469
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you've gone to practice quite a bit just to to

470
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.319
<v Speaker 1>observe last season, but uh, just to be a part

471
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:13.440
<v Speaker 1>once again of University Kentucky basketball. Essentially, what that's been

472
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:15.440
<v Speaker 1>like for you, John, I'll start with you, just the

473
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.119
<v Speaker 1>fact that you know, you got your coaching and dealing

474
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:19.160
<v Speaker 1>with wildcats again.

475
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:24.000
<v Speaker 6>Well, it's it's dealing with wildcats, but it's also dealing

476
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:30.319
<v Speaker 6>with pros. And it's a lot easier, a lot easier,

477
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 6>and a lot different when you're dealing with pros rather

478
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:37.240
<v Speaker 6>than just kids, because it's basketball all the time, and

479
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.680
<v Speaker 6>that's all they want to they understand, like coach said,

480
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:45.599
<v Speaker 6>they're coachable. They want to hear different voices and different perspectives,

481
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.920
<v Speaker 6>but being back on campus has has been has been

482
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:54.319
<v Speaker 6>everything that I had wanted. I mean, I'm grateful that

483
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:58.400
<v Speaker 6>I'm able to have spent a month out here, away

484
00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:02.240
<v Speaker 6>from away from my office and away from our team.

485
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:07.599
<v Speaker 6>But it's it's been. It's been fantastic, getting to work

486
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:10.720
<v Speaker 6>with them, getting to be around UK practice as well

487
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:12.480
<v Speaker 6>and learn along the way.

488
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:15.640
<v Speaker 1>What about you, Sean, Okay.

489
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.720
<v Speaker 7>You always free what type of people they are, you know,

490
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:24.519
<v Speaker 7>and unfortunately, you know, that's how it guys. Because of

491
00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:28.319
<v Speaker 7>their short stay as far as their career serve the UK,

492
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:30.759
<v Speaker 7>no one has really gotten to know them, you know

493
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.039
<v Speaker 7>what I mean. And I've had an opportunity for two

494
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:35.839
<v Speaker 7>weeks to get to know them, you know, as people,

495
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:40.400
<v Speaker 7>and share stories, you know, on what their experience was

496
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:43.480
<v Speaker 7>like in UK and mine and you know, and also

497
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:48.240
<v Speaker 7>I've had an opportunity to really teach them and make

498
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:53.200
<v Speaker 7>them understand how significant they are as a UK basketball player,

499
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:55.720
<v Speaker 7>even though they only spend eight months there. You know,

500
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:58.240
<v Speaker 7>I told them that, you know, you could play in

501
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:00.279
<v Speaker 7>the NBA and this and that, but you won't as

502
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:04.000
<v Speaker 7>significant as you are as being a UK basketball player.

503
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:08.319
<v Speaker 7>So relish this. Take advantage of this and maybe now

504
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:12.880
<v Speaker 7>the bridge you know, we can bridge the gap a

505
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:16.640
<v Speaker 7>little bit more with you guys knowing what it's like

506
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:19.240
<v Speaker 7>to really be a konentuctive basketball player, how you really

507
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:22.200
<v Speaker 7>appreciate it. And then also they're getting to know each other.

508
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.559
<v Speaker 7>Because they were so competitive when they were playing, they

509
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:28.680
<v Speaker 7>didn't get to know each other. So now they're getting

510
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:31.279
<v Speaker 7>to slow down and getting to know you know, Tyler's

511
00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:34.519
<v Speaker 7>getting to know the twins, and you know, Willie's getting

512
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:38.599
<v Speaker 7>to know you know, Nate and so on and so forth.

513
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:41.960
<v Speaker 7>So that's been really good too. You know, it's like

514
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:46.400
<v Speaker 7>a reunion within a competitive situation of bringing these guys together,

515
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:49.359
<v Speaker 7>and tell you what, it's worked because they're all playing

516
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:51.559
<v Speaker 7>for each other as you can see. You know, you

517
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:54.440
<v Speaker 7>don't get those guys to play and hold everyone that

518
00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:57.880
<v Speaker 7>we play under sixty points in this deal. So you know,

519
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:00.240
<v Speaker 7>these guys are really bought in the really enjoyed playing

520
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.240
<v Speaker 7>with each other. Hasn't been any to mix this happ whatsoever.

521
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:06.240
<v Speaker 7>And shoot, it's been a blast. It's been pretty smooth,

522
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:06.880
<v Speaker 7>to be honest with you.

523
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:10.680
<v Speaker 1>We're talking with Sean Woods and John Hood, Wildcat players

524
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:13.519
<v Speaker 1>from the past who are now assistant coaches with Tyler

525
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Ewlis as part of TBT, and they're on their way

526
00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:19.880
<v Speaker 1>in the car to Philadelphia for the final four this weekend.

527
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:22.640
<v Speaker 1>We're back in a minute on six thirty WLA Welcome back.

528
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:25.880
<v Speaker 1>We're chatting with Sean Woods and John Hood, assistant coaches

529
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:28.640
<v Speaker 1>under Tyler Ewis. Of course, all three of them played

530
00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:32.279
<v Speaker 1>for the Wildcats, all of them Kentucky guards, and they

531
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:36.519
<v Speaker 1>are coaching in TBT, the Basketball Tournament, playing for a

532
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:39.279
<v Speaker 1>million bucks, and they play in the final four in

533
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:43.319
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia this weekend. John and Sean are driving to Philly,

534
00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:45.519
<v Speaker 1>so we were happy to have them on the phone

535
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.160
<v Speaker 1>with us, hoping that they remain safe as they talk

536
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:51.599
<v Speaker 1>to me while they're driving. And before the break sewn,

537
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:53.759
<v Speaker 1>you were talking about players getting to know each other,

538
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:57.480
<v Speaker 1>and I thought about Willie cauley Stein, because here's a

539
00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:59.839
<v Speaker 1>guy who could have been of course back in the day,

540
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:02.960
<v Speaker 1>going probably right out of high school, most people thought

541
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.480
<v Speaker 1>he'd be a one and done. He stayed three years

542
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.359
<v Speaker 1>at Kentucky, so he was like you guys, he stayed

543
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.920
<v Speaker 1>quite a while. But I really think that that you know,

544
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:15.359
<v Speaker 1>I know, Cistina went nuts in the third quarter, but

545
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 1>will he seems like he was a secret sauce the

546
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:19.599
<v Speaker 1>other night. What do you think of the way he's

547
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:20.160
<v Speaker 1>been playing.

548
00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:22.599
<v Speaker 7>I mean, he's been the savior. You know, he covers

549
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:25.039
<v Speaker 7>so much ground and he's one of the reasons why

550
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:28.599
<v Speaker 7>our defense has been so so good and so solid

551
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:32.359
<v Speaker 7>because what we're doing is we're pushing everybody to him

552
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:34.359
<v Speaker 7>to be the racer and he's you know, he can

553
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.079
<v Speaker 7>guard a point guard. He can you know, slaught a

554
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:39.200
<v Speaker 7>big and come from the weak side to swatter it.

555
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:42.079
<v Speaker 7>And as you saw the other night, which I've been

556
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:44.839
<v Speaker 7>seeing all week, the guy can really shoot the dag

557
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:48.559
<v Speaker 7>on basketball. You know, those those three that he made

558
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:50.079
<v Speaker 7>in the first half. He does that every day in

559
00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:53.680
<v Speaker 7>practice really, which is very surprising. Yet, I mean he's

560
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:55.680
<v Speaker 7>shooting like he's been doing it his whole life.

561
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:59.160
<v Speaker 1>But isn't the NBA now and he's not that far

562
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:01.880
<v Speaker 1>removed from the lee you can make it back. That's

563
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a league that he's a guy like Boogie Cousins shooting

564
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:07.839
<v Speaker 1>threes and clearly Carl Anthony Towns that's isn't that where

565
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:09.160
<v Speaker 1>we are right now? In the league?

566
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:12.319
<v Speaker 7>Here we are, you know, it's very hybrid and uh,

567
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:15.279
<v Speaker 7>you know, today's game. If you really can't shoot the basketball,

568
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:18.799
<v Speaker 7>it's hard to play you and unless you do something

569
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:23.160
<v Speaker 7>that was very special. And I just think that surprising

570
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:26.039
<v Speaker 7>to me. This is what you know, he showed me

571
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:29.400
<v Speaker 7>some things that I never saw. You know, we know

572
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:32.720
<v Speaker 7>as a Kentucky fan, even though I was coaching, and

573
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:35.359
<v Speaker 7>if we'd have beaten Western Kentucky and that in the

574
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:37.519
<v Speaker 7>playing game, we would have played those guys when they

575
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:41.680
<v Speaker 7>were thirty one to zero. That was one thing that

576
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:44.599
<v Speaker 7>never would have crossed my mind. And I'm telling you,

577
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:47.400
<v Speaker 7>in practice, he shoots as good as anybody on our team.

578
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:50.240
<v Speaker 7>So I wasn't surprised when he was making those the

579
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.160
<v Speaker 7>other day. I was just happy that he was making

580
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:53.839
<v Speaker 7>a game type situation.

581
00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of big men shooting, John Hood, you're a guy

582
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:01.279
<v Speaker 1>who's never saw a shot he didn't like. What was

583
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:05.240
<v Speaker 1>your reaction when you saw Nate Cistina drain in those threes?

584
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.720
<v Speaker 1>And he's another big guy. I know. I watched you

585
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:10.759
<v Speaker 1>guys in drills the other day before the tournament began,

586
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and you were running the ball to Sustina for outside shots.

587
00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:18.240
<v Speaker 1>But man, he was on fire. He was.

588
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:23.680
<v Speaker 6>I met Nate, I mean the first actually two days

589
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:26.319
<v Speaker 6>before our first practice, three days before our first practice.

590
00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:31.000
<v Speaker 6>And he is a he's a guy that he has

591
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:32.240
<v Speaker 6>that type of personality.

592
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:33.720
<v Speaker 7>And I mean when.

593
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:37.200
<v Speaker 6>I am when I'm back in Missouri Western, you see

594
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.559
<v Speaker 6>me on the sidelines and I'm very stoic onto the

595
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:45.680
<v Speaker 6>next play. But this has allowed me a space to

596
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:48.279
<v Speaker 6>kind of celebrate on the sidelines a little more. And

597
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:52.400
<v Speaker 6>he's one that that really, really you want to cheer for.

598
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:57.200
<v Speaker 6>And when he starts making those pump fake snide step threes,

599
00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:00.319
<v Speaker 6>that's that stuff that we've worked on in crack, that

600
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:03.000
<v Speaker 6>stuff that he and I have worked on it and

601
00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:06.920
<v Speaker 6>work out and it's good to see it.

602
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:07.480
<v Speaker 1>It happened.

603
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.400
<v Speaker 6>And I mean he's he's a big he's a big

604
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:12.440
<v Speaker 6>time shooter and a big time player.

605
00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, John, you grew up in Kentucky. It's shown you

606
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:17.800
<v Speaker 1>spent a lot of your childhood in Kentucky visiting relatives,

607
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:21.599
<v Speaker 1>and of course both played several years at Kentucky. What

608
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:25.000
<v Speaker 1>amazes me. Nate Cistina is from Pennsylvania. He began his

609
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:28.440
<v Speaker 1>career a college career at Bucknell and then transferred in

610
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:31.199
<v Speaker 1>He was here for the COVID year and yet man,

611
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:33.400
<v Speaker 1>he has has died in the wool blue as any

612
00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:34.400
<v Speaker 1>of those guys.

613
00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

614
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess we shouldn't be surprised by that, should we. John?

615
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:44.679
<v Speaker 6>Now, some some people, some people understand the rivalry more

616
00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:48.519
<v Speaker 6>than others, and some people definitely embraced it more than others.

617
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:51.440
<v Speaker 6>And and Nate is one of those one of those

618
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:56.719
<v Speaker 6>guys that you know, it's it was explained to him,

619
00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:59.480
<v Speaker 6>he experienced it, and he's never let it go.

620
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, Sean, let me ask you about the game coming up,

621
00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:06.039
<v Speaker 1>because this is a group of guys who played at

622
00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State for the most part, and they won easily

623
00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:12.760
<v Speaker 1>in their quarterfinal game. What do you know about them?

624
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:14.400
<v Speaker 1>What do you expect?

625
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:17.800
<v Speaker 7>Well, their physical you know they're going to attack the glass,

626
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:22.440
<v Speaker 7>and they shoot the ball very very well. They play

627
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:26.199
<v Speaker 7>within each other and everything from Hood said, it starts

628
00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:29.159
<v Speaker 7>from the inside. So we just got to continue the

629
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:35.239
<v Speaker 7>way we play of taking away threes because they're making

630
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:38.920
<v Speaker 7>twelve of games shooting almost thirty nine percent on three,

631
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:40.840
<v Speaker 7>So we got to make sure we take that away

632
00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:43.840
<v Speaker 7>and make them take tough shots at the rim like

633
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:46.360
<v Speaker 7>we've been doing. But the main thing is keeping them

634
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:48.639
<v Speaker 7>off the glass and not getting us in bout trouble.

635
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, we just talked about two of your bigs who

636
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:56.719
<v Speaker 1>can hit three pointers. I gotta think when they your

637
00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:59.320
<v Speaker 1>upcoming team, what is it Carmen's Group or something like that,

638
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:02.400
<v Speaker 1>whatever they are, when you start looking at the video

639
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:05.840
<v Speaker 1>of your game, they gotta be scratching her heads. Like, man,

640
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:09.360
<v Speaker 1>we got to cover Willie, Carley Stein and Natestina on

641
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:12.679
<v Speaker 1>the outside. That's a huge plus for you, isn't it.

642
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:16.920
<v Speaker 7>Well? Yeah, I mean, shoot, I'll tell you what. It's

643
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:19.360
<v Speaker 7>a couple other guys we got they can shoot the basketball. Yeah,

644
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:22.119
<v Speaker 7>shoot in particular well that night, So you know, that's

645
00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:24.400
<v Speaker 7>not too many guys on our team that can't make

646
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:27.840
<v Speaker 7>the three. They can't shoot, which makes us that much

647
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:32.159
<v Speaker 7>voting it uh and that much difficult to scout for.

648
00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:37.119
<v Speaker 7>And you know he's been uh, pretty successful then. And

649
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:39.199
<v Speaker 7>I'll tell you what. And we got to go to

650
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:42.119
<v Speaker 7>guy in cancer. You know, he didn't play well the

651
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:44.760
<v Speaker 7>other night like he has been, but man, he he's

652
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:46.320
<v Speaker 7>a force to be reckoned with. And he may be

653
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:49.000
<v Speaker 7>one of the best big especially score wise, in this tournament.

654
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I felt like the referees let you guys play quote unquote,

655
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:55.159
<v Speaker 1>which is a pro thing. I know I thought at

656
00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:59.199
<v Speaker 1>times it was kind of ridiculously too physical. But does

657
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:01.360
<v Speaker 1>that help you guys as much as anybody or does

658
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:02.639
<v Speaker 1>it pretty much balance out?

659
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:08.599
<v Speaker 7>Well, it bounces out, but you know we're getting you know,

660
00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:11.559
<v Speaker 7>if they call it right from every guard, were probably

661
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:14.800
<v Speaker 7>in foul trouble fouled out just kind of guard Eric

662
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:19.119
<v Speaker 7>Bledsoe and one of the twins. So you know, it's

663
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:22.320
<v Speaker 7>been We're not as physical. I think we're just a

664
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:25.440
<v Speaker 7>better defensive team. And I think we're defending without balence

665
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:29.239
<v Speaker 7>more so than these other teams. But I'll tell you

666
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:32.960
<v Speaker 7>what Friday night is gonna be a very sensible basketball game.

667
00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:35.239
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'll let you guys go with this. John, the

668
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:37.719
<v Speaker 1>last question for you watching you mentioned you were part

669
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:40.760
<v Speaker 1>of that run and part of that championship team back

670
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:46.320
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twelve. But watching the Twins play, uh, are

671
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:49.199
<v Speaker 1>you're flashing back much to those days because you that

672
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:52.079
<v Speaker 1>was that was the heyday of the John Caliperi era.

673
00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:58.480
<v Speaker 6>It's very fun to watch. Aaron didn't have a.

674
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:01.079
<v Speaker 1>Night the other night. I don't.

675
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:05.400
<v Speaker 7>I don't think it's forward. Uh usually, I mean when.

676
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:07.440
<v Speaker 6>They were here and during that run, if Aaron had

677
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:09.880
<v Speaker 6>a bad night and the next one he was he

678
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:13.920
<v Speaker 6>was due. So I'm hoping that that kind of repeats

679
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:18.880
<v Speaker 6>itself for this for this upcoming game against uh how

680
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:24.760
<v Speaker 6>alumni and crew. So but it's uh, it's been good.

681
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:26.760
<v Speaker 6>I just hope he makes a couple of big shots

682
00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:27.159
<v Speaker 6>like he did.

683
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:27.519
<v Speaker 7>In the back.

684
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:33.360
<v Speaker 1>John Hood assistant coach, Sean Woods assistant coach to Tyler Ulis.

685
00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:38.159
<v Speaker 1>For the TBT event, they are driving to Philadelphia. We'll

686
00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:40.880
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into that some other time, but making the

687
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:45.320
<v Speaker 1>sacrifice for the team there their team coaches, fellas, be

688
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:47.960
<v Speaker 1>careful on the road, keep each other awake, and best

689
00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:48.960
<v Speaker 1>of luck to you.

690
00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:50.519
<v Speaker 6>Thanks Jack, thank you.

691
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:52.519
<v Speaker 1>Stay with us. Number two is next year on six

692
00:38:52.679 --> 00:39:26.400
<v Speaker 1>thirty w l a P. Welcome back to the Big

693
00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Blue and Cider Hour, number two of our show coming

694
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:31.079
<v Speaker 1>up at the bottom of the hour. He's back, Gary

695
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Moore or West End Bureau Cheap. Between his vacation and

696
00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:37.760
<v Speaker 1>my vacation, we haven't really well. We have communicated, but

697
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:39.639
<v Speaker 1>we haven't heard from him on the air. So he

698
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:42.519
<v Speaker 1>has a number of things to get off his chest.

699
00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:45.159
<v Speaker 1>So we'll be hearing from him coming up. As I said,

700
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:48.320
<v Speaker 1>in less than thirty minutes. But I as promised, we're

701
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:51.800
<v Speaker 1>going to talk more and hear more from the basketball Wildcats.

702
00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:54.679
<v Speaker 1>They're making them available right now to us because there

703
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:58.239
<v Speaker 1>are summer workouts going on rule changes, and boy, they

704
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:01.599
<v Speaker 1>couldn't come at a better time for the Kentucky Wildcats,

705
00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:04.960
<v Speaker 1>a team that basically, you hate to say put together

706
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:08.800
<v Speaker 1>from scratch because that just sounds like they're just snagging

707
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:11.440
<v Speaker 1>anything they can and throwing it into the pot and

708
00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:14.320
<v Speaker 1>stirring it up. But basically, when it came to the roster,

709
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:16.880
<v Speaker 1>new coach, new staff, and they had to start over,

710
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:20.280
<v Speaker 1>everybody left, as we all know. So it's a good

711
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:24.920
<v Speaker 1>time for additional practices or early practices, which means we

712
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:27.360
<v Speaker 1>get a chance to talk and you guys get a

713
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:30.280
<v Speaker 1>chance to hear and see and read about these new ballplayers.

714
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:32.679
<v Speaker 1>We got a chance to talk to three more this week.

715
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:35.320
<v Speaker 1>One of them I've already talked to it length, that

716
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:38.559
<v Speaker 1>Trent Noah on the show not too long ago, but

717
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've got a chance that we're owing a

718
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:43.519
<v Speaker 1>few more questions to him. But I really got a

719
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:47.039
<v Speaker 1>chance to talk, as did everybody else with Jackson Robinson

720
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and Kobe Bray. I had not yet talked to them,

721
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:52.239
<v Speaker 1>or met them, had read about them, obviously. But Jackson

722
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Robinson was a guy that people spotted early when Pope

723
00:40:56.599 --> 00:41:00.639
<v Speaker 1>first started putting a roster together, and he had himself

724
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in contingent for the NBA draft. He was in the portal,

725
00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:07.199
<v Speaker 1>could have gone back to Brigham Young, but said no

726
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:10.480
<v Speaker 1>to the NBA, and then you know, he might have

727
00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:12.599
<v Speaker 1>gone or he might have stayed in the draft. But

728
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:15.480
<v Speaker 1>as you'll hear, he had to make a decision after

729
00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:18.280
<v Speaker 1>a workout as to whether or not he'd roll those dice.

730
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:21.639
<v Speaker 1>So he decided obviously to come to Kentucky, which is

731
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:26.400
<v Speaker 1>his third stop, sorry, his fourth stop in college basketball.

732
00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:28.800
<v Speaker 1>He began his career at Texas A and m didn't

733
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:32.760
<v Speaker 1>play a whole lot there. Played at Arkansas the next year,

734
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:38.440
<v Speaker 1>transferred within the league, played fourteen games there, then moved

735
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:40.760
<v Speaker 1>on to Brigham Young, where he was really really good.

736
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:44.639
<v Speaker 1>Played a couple of seasons there, sixty eight games, thirty

737
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:47.960
<v Speaker 1>six starts, averaged twenty seven minutes per game over his

738
00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:51.239
<v Speaker 1>career at BYU. Last year he was the Big Twelve

739
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:54.960
<v Speaker 1>sixth Man of the Year and of course picking up

740
00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:59.400
<v Speaker 1>honorable mention all Big twelve accolades. So he blossomed at BYU,

741
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:02.559
<v Speaker 1>he had a chance to play and became one of

742
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:05.679
<v Speaker 1>the league's best shooters. Forty three times. He was in

743
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:09.960
<v Speaker 1>double figures for BYU, five times twenty points or more,

744
00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:14.079
<v Speaker 1>and over his two years, the third most three point

745
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:16.920
<v Speaker 1>field goals per game. He averaged more than two triples

746
00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:21.320
<v Speaker 1>per game and had a three point streak three pointer

747
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:24.679
<v Speaker 1>streak of twenty one straight games with a three pointer.

748
00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:28.079
<v Speaker 1>So here's here's a guy who fits exactly what Mark

749
00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Pope was looking for at Brigham Young and looking for

750
00:42:32.960 --> 00:42:36.599
<v Speaker 1>this season at Kentucky. So we had a chance to

751
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:39.679
<v Speaker 1>talk to Robinson. He talked to us about how his

752
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:41.480
<v Speaker 1>game has progressed through his career.

753
00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:43.599
<v Speaker 8>To be honest with you, I think it has more

754
00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:46.440
<v Speaker 8>so to do with this experience getting out there and playing,

755
00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:50.880
<v Speaker 8>and I think going into year five for me, I

756
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:52.679
<v Speaker 8>think it'll be good just to go out there and

757
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:56.440
<v Speaker 8>be a vet for this team, be a leader. That's

758
00:42:56.480 --> 00:42:58.320
<v Speaker 8>what I came here to doing, to win ball games.

759
00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:02.119
<v Speaker 9>When everybody's ran new to a team, who who steps

760
00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:05.039
<v Speaker 9>up and provides that voice, you know, to league.

761
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:08.480
<v Speaker 8>I don't think it's one specific person Coach Pope causes

762
00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:11.239
<v Speaker 8>a player lead team so everybody on the team has

763
00:43:11.280 --> 00:43:15.199
<v Speaker 8>a voice. There's not one specific person, but you know,

764
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:17.360
<v Speaker 8>just making sure that we are leading the team as

765
00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:19.559
<v Speaker 8>players and not just the coaches I think is huge,

766
00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:22.960
<v Speaker 8>especially coming from YU in my second year. That was

767
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:25.199
<v Speaker 8>something that coach Pope made a big emphasis on. So

768
00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:28.440
<v Speaker 8>I think these guys have done a good job at it,

769
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:30.320
<v Speaker 8>and I think it's paying off for the huge and

770
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:31.760
<v Speaker 8>we're joll super fast.

771
00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:34.320
<v Speaker 9>How easy your tough was the decision to stay in

772
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:36.239
<v Speaker 9>the draft versus versus coming back to school?

773
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:37.760
<v Speaker 5>What did you struggle it all or was it pretty?

774
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:38.000
<v Speaker 10>Oh?

775
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:41.599
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I mean I was the deadline was it was crazy.

776
00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:44.519
<v Speaker 8>I'd worked out in Milwaukee the day of the deadline,

777
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:47.079
<v Speaker 8>and on my way to the airport, I was still

778
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:48.440
<v Speaker 8>trying to figure out what I was going to do

779
00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:50.079
<v Speaker 8>for twelve o'clock head So.

780
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Where were you?

781
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:52.360
<v Speaker 7>Where were you heading back to from Milwaukee back to

782
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:53.519
<v Speaker 7>going back home to Oklahoma.

783
00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:56.159
<v Speaker 8>So I spent a lot of time in the airport

784
00:43:56.199 --> 00:43:58.000
<v Speaker 8>talking to my family trying to figure out what the

785
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:00.440
<v Speaker 8>next best move was, which was what's it was a

786
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:01.039
<v Speaker 8>tough choice.

787
00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:02.800
<v Speaker 6>When did you come to the decision in the air

788
00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:03.480
<v Speaker 6>while you were flying?

789
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:04.320
<v Speaker 11>When did when did.

790
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:06.800
<v Speaker 8>It Probably like an hour before I had gotten the air.

791
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:09.639
<v Speaker 8>I had talked it all over my parents, my age

792
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:10.679
<v Speaker 8>and figured it all out.

793
00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:14.239
<v Speaker 1>So what's sensitive for you? Why did you make that choice.

794
00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:16.880
<v Speaker 8>I just felt like it was the best one for

795
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:20.719
<v Speaker 8>my growth and my career overall, so, you know, just

796
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:23.119
<v Speaker 8>trying to make the right decisions. One of the things

797
00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:25.239
<v Speaker 8>I love about Coach Pope is he he knews or

798
00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:27.679
<v Speaker 8>he knew that I was going through a lot, so

799
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:29.639
<v Speaker 8>he gave me the space and the time that I needed.

800
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:32.840
<v Speaker 8>But he was also, you know, whis from behind my

801
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:35.880
<v Speaker 8>ear to come to Kentucky. So I mean, he's a

802
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:39.000
<v Speaker 8>great guy, and I love Coach Pope and we have

803
00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:41.199
<v Speaker 8>a great relationship. So it was a good experience just

804
00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:43.960
<v Speaker 8>being able to communicate with him, and not only him

805
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:46.039
<v Speaker 8>trying and recruit me back to Kentucky, but to have

806
00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:50.840
<v Speaker 8>regal conversation even after like some of the Combine games,

807
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:53.159
<v Speaker 8>he gave me a little advice stuff like that. So

808
00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:54.119
<v Speaker 8>but it was good.

809
00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:56.079
<v Speaker 7>So coming back, what's the biggest thing you wanted to

810
00:44:56.079 --> 00:44:56.599
<v Speaker 7>add to your game?

811
00:44:56.719 --> 00:44:58.519
<v Speaker 9>Is it something specific with your game or is it

812
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:01.239
<v Speaker 9>more like leadership called what's the biggest thing you're wanting

813
00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:01.639
<v Speaker 9>to me.

814
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:04.639
<v Speaker 8>I think this summer has been about leadership, you know,

815
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:07.440
<v Speaker 8>just trying to get the guys in the right state

816
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:10.599
<v Speaker 8>of mind with a new program, new group of guys,

817
00:45:11.239 --> 00:45:13.760
<v Speaker 8>and I think we're all doing a pretty good job

818
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:16.039
<v Speaker 8>at that. It's not only me, but it's everybody else

819
00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:19.360
<v Speaker 8>on this team. There's a lot of vets. So a

820
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:22.480
<v Speaker 8>guy like Lamar Butler is always talking trying to figure

821
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:24.960
<v Speaker 8>out what the next best move is as a floor general,

822
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:26.800
<v Speaker 8>and everybody respects him.

823
00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:29.559
<v Speaker 11>They want and practice. Everyone was kind of surprised that

824
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:33.119
<v Speaker 11>the green light that Pope has given everybody. All the shooters, right,

825
00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:35.559
<v Speaker 11>you obviously know that, so you know that wasn't an

826
00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:37.840
<v Speaker 11>adjustment for you. But what are some things that everyone

827
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:40.480
<v Speaker 11>is trying to adjust with as they're you know, learning

828
00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:41.760
<v Speaker 11>about him.

829
00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:45.280
<v Speaker 8>Like you said, just shooting open shots. I think that's

830
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:47.280
<v Speaker 8>something that a lot of people don't really think about,

831
00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:49.280
<v Speaker 8>but when you play for a coach like coach Pope,

832
00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:53.360
<v Speaker 8>that's something he emphasizes every day. If you don't shoot

833
00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:55.880
<v Speaker 8>an open shot and you're probably gonna come out. So,

834
00:45:56.599 --> 00:45:58.320
<v Speaker 8>I mean, you can't ask for a better coach than that,

835
00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:01.000
<v Speaker 8>to be honest with you, and it's been a great experience.

836
00:46:01.079 --> 00:46:03.280
<v Speaker 12>What what what does he have because some of the

837
00:46:03.280 --> 00:46:04.519
<v Speaker 12>players that he just has it.

838
00:46:04.719 --> 00:46:07.559
<v Speaker 5>What is it that he has that makes you guys

839
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:08.079
<v Speaker 5>follow him?

840
00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:09.400
<v Speaker 13>Or I don't know?

841
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:11.679
<v Speaker 8>Or is the only answer I got. Coach Pope is

842
00:46:11.679 --> 00:46:12.199
<v Speaker 8>a great guy.

843
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:14.239
<v Speaker 1>All of you guys who have played a lot of

844
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:18.400
<v Speaker 1>basketball around the country, a lot of different teams, different teammates,

845
00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:21.960
<v Speaker 1>but this roster basically starting from scratch with a new

846
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:24.519
<v Speaker 1>coaching chaff What is that? What has that been like?

847
00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:27.119
<v Speaker 1>What's that that process been like for you guys.

848
00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:29.440
<v Speaker 8>I think it's been super cool. Like you said, it's

849
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:32.800
<v Speaker 8>a lot of different people from different areas, different experiences,

850
00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:35.920
<v Speaker 8>so just learning all of them and just getting to

851
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:38.119
<v Speaker 8>know your teammates on a deeper level has been huge.

852
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:41.400
<v Speaker 8>I think it's been really fun. I just brought up

853
00:46:41.480 --> 00:46:45.440
<v Speaker 8>but Kurk Crisa. I love hearing stories about his time

854
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:49.480
<v Speaker 8>in Estonia and what he's been been through. So, you know,

855
00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:52.360
<v Speaker 8>like I said, just hearing unique stories and learning the

856
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:54.400
<v Speaker 8>gel and play as a team, it's been fun.

857
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:57.480
<v Speaker 11>Obviously, building an entire team is a tough task. I mean,

858
00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:01.199
<v Speaker 11>it could have gone pretty sold, But do you guys

859
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:02.760
<v Speaker 11>almost kind of look around and be like, oh, this

860
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:04.880
<v Speaker 11>is actually kind of impressive building an entire team and

861
00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:06.760
<v Speaker 11>it actually has this much talent.

862
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:09.679
<v Speaker 8>I mean yeah, like I said, we're just trying to

863
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:11.719
<v Speaker 8>chase number nine, and we know we have the talent

864
00:47:11.760 --> 00:47:13.239
<v Speaker 8>to do it. So it's just a matter of us

865
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:15.599
<v Speaker 8>putting in the work and trusting each other.

866
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:16.199
<v Speaker 11>That's it.

867
00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:20.440
<v Speaker 1>And that's Jackson Robinson. Kobe Bray had transferred in from Dayton,

868
00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:23.960
<v Speaker 1>where he was a three point specialist. Made one hundred

869
00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:26.239
<v Speaker 1>triples last year. You may know this by now, hit

870
00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:30.480
<v Speaker 1>nearly fifty percent from long range, average twenty nine minutes

871
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:33.480
<v Speaker 1>per game last season for Dayton, which finished one game

872
00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:35.719
<v Speaker 1>out of first in the eight ten, advanced to the

873
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:38.599
<v Speaker 1>second round of the nca Tournament. And he got off

874
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:41.760
<v Speaker 1>to a slow start because he was on crutches, really

875
00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:44.400
<v Speaker 1>in a wheelchair at first with an injury. But he's

876
00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:45.239
<v Speaker 1>ready to go now.

877
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:45.719
<v Speaker 4>You know.

878
00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:48.320
<v Speaker 5>I wasn't able to be on the court unfortunately, you know,

879
00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:50.760
<v Speaker 5>due to some recent injuries and stuff. But you know,

880
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:52.480
<v Speaker 5>just seeing it from the outside, I was able to

881
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:54.719
<v Speaker 5>learn a lot, you know, try to coast the guys

882
00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:56.159
<v Speaker 5>up as much as I can, you know, try to

883
00:47:56.159 --> 00:47:58.039
<v Speaker 5>be a leader off the court. Because you know that's

884
00:47:58.079 --> 00:47:59.639
<v Speaker 5>only going to help me once I get back and

885
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:03.159
<v Speaker 5>showing now coming back into practices. But you know, definitely

886
00:48:03.199 --> 00:48:05.599
<v Speaker 5>just been learning a lot, learning from you know, Jackson.

887
00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:08.519
<v Speaker 5>He's been in the program with Coach Hope for a while,

888
00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:10.840
<v Speaker 5>so you know, learning from him. He's probably the most

889
00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:13.760
<v Speaker 5>experience with Coach Pope, and so yeah, just learned from

890
00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:15.400
<v Speaker 5>him and the other guys in the staff as well.

891
00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:18.199
<v Speaker 2>So what's the best way to describe this offense?

892
00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

893
00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:22.119
<v Speaker 5>Best way to the Scott his offense? I probably say

894
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:24.599
<v Speaker 5>fun and fast. You know, I feel like we play

895
00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:27.559
<v Speaker 5>really really fast, but it's so enjoyable, you know, watching

896
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:30.039
<v Speaker 5>it on the outside, you know, I got to see

897
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:31.880
<v Speaker 5>like how fun it actually looks, you know, and I

898
00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:33.639
<v Speaker 5>feel like when we were finally able to do it

899
00:48:33.679 --> 00:48:36.480
<v Speaker 5>in rep Arena in front of you know, BBN and everybody,

900
00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:38.719
<v Speaker 5>I think they're gonna love, love, love like the our

901
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:40.360
<v Speaker 5>offense and just the way that we play.

902
00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:42.280
<v Speaker 9>This team shoot it as well as we're here.

903
00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:45.400
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, definitely definitely. But you know I'm gonna leave

904
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:47.039
<v Speaker 5>that for you guys to see, you know, when the

905
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:48.599
<v Speaker 5>season starts.

906
00:48:48.639 --> 00:48:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Intriguing comments from Kobe Bray about how much Big Blue

907
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Nation will love the way this team plays and shoots

908
00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:58.239
<v Speaker 1>the basketball. Speaking of shooting, Trent Noah, you saw him

909
00:48:58.239 --> 00:49:00.119
<v Speaker 1>in the sweet sixteen. You may have seen him take

910
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:03.480
<v Speaker 1>his team to the championship game where Harlan County lost

911
00:49:03.719 --> 00:49:07.239
<v Speaker 1>to Travis Perry and Lyon County. And now he's a Wildcat,

912
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:10.280
<v Speaker 1>very nearly a South Carolina game Cock where he committed,

913
00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:13.079
<v Speaker 1>but with the coaching change, Mark Pope stepped in and

914
00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:14.599
<v Speaker 1>now Trentonoah's in Lexington.

915
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:17.559
<v Speaker 14>Our chemistry is super hot and through the roof. And

916
00:49:17.599 --> 00:49:20.079
<v Speaker 14>I feel like that's compliment to our coaches about who

917
00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:23.039
<v Speaker 14>we brought in. We're all kind of similar guys. And

918
00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:25.159
<v Speaker 14>then and then getting to hang out off the court

919
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:26.920
<v Speaker 14>is a big deal as well. I mean, we do

920
00:49:26.920 --> 00:49:29.599
<v Speaker 14>a lot of stuff off the basketball court, and then

921
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:32.119
<v Speaker 14>that just translates on the court.

922
00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, how much has it helped too that?

923
00:49:34.119 --> 00:49:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you've gotched so many experienced guys who've been

924
00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:38.159
<v Speaker 1>through a lot of things before they even got here.

925
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:40.639
<v Speaker 1>How much does that help from a chemistry standpoint?

926
00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:42.719
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, definitely. I mean they know what works and what

927
00:49:42.840 --> 00:49:45.840
<v Speaker 14>doesn't work. I mean they've been through it and they've

928
00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:48.559
<v Speaker 14>seen they've seen what's good and what's bad, and they

929
00:49:48.599 --> 00:49:51.119
<v Speaker 14>get to they get to do the good. So yeah,

930
00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:53.280
<v Speaker 14>it definitely makes it easier with an experienced group.

931
00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:56.480
<v Speaker 1>You're a true rookie playing with guys who are in

932
00:49:56.519 --> 00:49:58.519
<v Speaker 1>there fifteen six years. What's that like?

933
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:02.000
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I mean it's awesome. There's such good players, and

934
00:50:02.039 --> 00:50:03.519
<v Speaker 14>you get to learn so much from them. I mean

935
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:05.719
<v Speaker 14>they've been through it, They've been in my shoes. So

936
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:07.880
<v Speaker 14>just getting to talk with them, pick their brain and

937
00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:10.000
<v Speaker 14>and and just just hearing what they have to say

938
00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:10.920

951
00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:35.800
<v Speaker 1>playing so well on high school. What's that going to

952
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:37.039
<v Speaker 1>be like all over again?

953
00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:39.599

957
00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:53.559
<v Speaker 14>Les Travis ever talk about the championship game with you.

958
00:50:54.239 --> 00:50:56.320
<v Speaker 14>We've talked about it a few times. I mean, uh,

959
00:50:56.360 --> 00:50:58.679
<v Speaker 14>they had an exceptional team. I mean they obviously had

960
00:50:59.199 --> 00:51:01.039
<v Speaker 14>a great player and us, and they had a few

961
00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:04.039
<v Speaker 14>guys around him that were really good as well. But yeah,

962
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:06.639
<v Speaker 14>I mean I think we'll talk about that for for

963
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:08.320
<v Speaker 14>a long long time. I mean that was a that

964
00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:10.360
<v Speaker 14>was an awesome game for both of us.

965
00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:13.119
<v Speaker 1>You kind of had to take over at times with

966
00:51:13.159 --> 00:51:16.280
<v Speaker 1>your team in the state tournament. It's not quite gonna

967
00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:18.039
<v Speaker 1>be that way though in college ball, is it. How

968
00:51:18.039 --> 00:51:20.440
<v Speaker 1>do you see your role? What's this team? Yeah?

969
00:51:20.559 --> 00:51:22.599
<v Speaker 14>Just doing whatever I can to help the team win,

970
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:24.960
<v Speaker 14>no matter what that is. I mean, just trying to

971
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:26.840
<v Speaker 14>be the best team and it can be, and putting

972
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:28.760
<v Speaker 14>our team in the best position to win, no matter

973
00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:31.840
<v Speaker 14>no matter if it's cheering the guys on or hitting

974
00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:34.239
<v Speaker 14>a big shot. I mean, just just doing whatever I

975
00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:36.559
<v Speaker 14>can to help us in the best position to win.

976
00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:38.119
<v Speaker 1>How come you off?

977
00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:41.639
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I mean I feel like this is set up,

978
00:51:41.719 --> 00:51:43.320
<v Speaker 14>is set up for me. I mean I think it's

979
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:45.159
<v Speaker 14>set up for everybody. I think that's kind of why

980
00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:47.880
<v Speaker 14>that he he hand picked these guys and brought them

981
00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:50.960
<v Speaker 14>in to play his style of basketball. So yeah, it's awesome.

982
00:51:51.039 --> 00:51:54.280
<v Speaker 14>I'm I'm loving it. What are your first impressions of

983
00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:56.599
<v Speaker 14>Pope's coaching styles so far and kind of how do

984
00:51:56.639 --> 00:51:58.159
<v Speaker 14>you think you all will play this year? Do you

985
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:00.400
<v Speaker 14>have an idea but yet? Yeah, I mean it's awesome.

986
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:02.239
<v Speaker 14>I mean, super fast, shoot a lot of threes. I

987
00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:03.960
<v Speaker 14>mean that's the modern game of basketball.

988
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:04.719
<v Speaker 12>Uh.

989
00:52:04.760 --> 00:52:08.000
<v Speaker 14>He's super brilliant, great basketball mine. So it should be

990
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:10.159
<v Speaker 14>a fun year, especially offensively.

991
00:52:11.119 --> 00:52:12.840
<v Speaker 5>Here as a player, he's here now forst year as

992
00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:14.119
<v Speaker 5>a coach. Do you guys feel in a little bit

993
00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:16.119
<v Speaker 5>of pressure anything from BBN or all these fans? How

994
00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:18.679
<v Speaker 5>how big basketball meet is this community?

995
00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:19.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?

996
00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:22.000
<v Speaker 14>I mean, I mean, growing up Kentucky fan, I obviously

997
00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:23.880
<v Speaker 14>know how big of a deal it is to to

998
00:52:23.880 --> 00:52:26.679
<v Speaker 14>wear the Kentucky jersey, and I mean we're at the

999
00:52:26.760 --> 00:52:29.519
<v Speaker 14>University Kentucky and pressures are privileged, like it's it's amazing

1000
00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:32.599
<v Speaker 14>to be here, super grateful to be here. So yeah,

1001
00:52:32.599 --> 00:52:34.400
<v Speaker 14>I mean that's why we don't take it for granted.

1002
00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:37.039
<v Speaker 14>We come in every day and work and and it

1003
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:38.880
<v Speaker 14>really is an honor to put on the jersey. So

1004
00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:41.320
<v Speaker 14>just just trying to leave it all and and do

1005
00:52:41.400 --> 00:52:43.719
<v Speaker 14>it for do it for the state. What does that

1006
00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:47.599
<v Speaker 14>pressure like? I mean, it's just I mean, everybody expects

1007
00:52:47.639 --> 00:52:50.119
<v Speaker 14>to win at Kentucky. I mean it's the mecca college basketball.

1008
00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:54.639
<v Speaker 14>So anything short of a national championship is is a failure.

1009
00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:58.039
<v Speaker 14>So that's that's our goal, uh, to to hang banners

1010
00:52:58.039 --> 00:52:59.280
<v Speaker 14>and and that's what we're gonna.

1011
00:52:59.079 --> 00:53:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Do, trying to know and from what we hear about

1012
00:53:01.719 --> 00:53:04.960
<v Speaker 1>this offense, he will fit right in. Up next, once again,

1013
00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:07.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll hear from some of the brand new UK women's players,

1014
00:53:08.039 --> 00:53:10.400
<v Speaker 1>as well as one holdover one who came back from

1015
00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:13.119
<v Speaker 1>last year's team. Next on the Big Blue Insider Bottom

1016
00:53:13.119 --> 00:53:17.360
<v Speaker 1>of the hour, Gary Moore on six thirty WLAP. It

1017
00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:19.119
<v Speaker 1>is the Big Blue Insider coming up in just a

1018
00:53:19.159 --> 00:53:21.599
<v Speaker 1>few minutes. West End Bureau Chief Gary Moore will be

1019
00:53:21.639 --> 00:53:24.440
<v Speaker 1>back with us after a break, my vacation, his vacation,

1020
00:53:24.800 --> 00:53:26.760
<v Speaker 1>but we're back together again. We talked to some of

1021
00:53:26.760 --> 00:53:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the UK women yesterday, including Sanaiah Tyler, who, as we said,

1022
00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:32.880
<v Speaker 1>was one of two players to come back from last

1023
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:35.639
<v Speaker 1>year's team. She played in thirty two games, average a

1024
00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:38.039
<v Speaker 1>little more than ten points per game, and talk to

1025
00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:41.239
<v Speaker 1>us about the decision to come back with a brand

1026
00:53:41.280 --> 00:53:42.760
<v Speaker 1>new coach and a brand new roster.

1027
00:53:43.039 --> 00:53:46.239
<v Speaker 15>It it was a very hard decision. I know, I

1028
00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:48.360
<v Speaker 15>put my trust in God and I just found signs

1029
00:53:48.400 --> 00:53:50.639
<v Speaker 15>to keep me here. So it was sad to see

1030
00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:52.599
<v Speaker 15>everybody go, But I know, like my story is different

1031
00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:55.320
<v Speaker 15>from everybody else's, so I'm just embracing what the God

1032
00:53:55.360 --> 00:53:56.039
<v Speaker 15>Lord has for me.

1033
00:53:56.360 --> 00:53:57.559
<v Speaker 1>So why did you stick?

1034
00:53:58.199 --> 00:54:01.480
<v Speaker 15>I just wanted to see the culture. I'm I'm loyal, so, uh,

1035
00:54:01.719 --> 00:54:03.679
<v Speaker 15>Kentucky's close to home. I'm from Saint Louis. It's only

1036
00:54:03.760 --> 00:54:06.159
<v Speaker 15>five hours, so I didn't want to move. I want

1037
00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:08.239
<v Speaker 15>to take my family for somewhere else and travel around.

1038
00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:09.440
<v Speaker 15>So I just felt like staying.

1039
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:12.679
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of the roster Coach Brooks is

1040
00:54:12.679 --> 00:54:16.760
<v Speaker 1>put together, especially the size and the potential physicality in

1041
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:17.719
<v Speaker 1>such a tough league.

1042
00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:20.000
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I think the roster you put together is gonna

1043
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:22.079
<v Speaker 15>be really really good, just to be able to compete

1044
00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:24.559
<v Speaker 15>in the sec You like, got tall, A lot of

1045
00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:27.039
<v Speaker 15>tall people here, so it's gonna be a lot different

1046
00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:29.599
<v Speaker 15>than last year's team, But I'm excited to see the work.

1047
00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:32.760
<v Speaker 1>You're an old head. What's that like for you?

1048
00:54:33.239 --> 00:54:36.719
<v Speaker 15>That is it's tough to say, Like I remember my

1049
00:54:36.719 --> 00:54:38.920
<v Speaker 15>freshman year. Now I'm a junior, so I'm an upperclassman.

1050
00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:41.400
<v Speaker 15>It's just it's tough. But time shrew does fly by

1051
00:54:41.599 --> 00:54:41.920
<v Speaker 15>for real.

1052
00:54:43.079 --> 00:54:44.840
<v Speaker 1>You know the style of play that's ahead of you

1053
00:54:44.840 --> 00:54:46.400
<v Speaker 1>be already. That's gotta be exciting.

1054
00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:48.440
<v Speaker 15>Yes, yes, it is still trying to I do notice

1055
00:54:48.480 --> 00:54:49.800
<v Speaker 15>out of play, but it's still a few things like

1056
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:50.920
<v Speaker 15>we can all work on stuff.

1057
00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:54.360
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, this time of the summer is so limited,

1058
00:54:54.519 --> 00:54:56.400
<v Speaker 8>right you only can practice all the court so much.

1059
00:54:56.440 --> 00:54:57.800
<v Speaker 12>It can only be in the weight room so much.

1060
00:54:57.840 --> 00:54:58.840
<v Speaker 12>You know, there's so many rules.

1061
00:54:58.920 --> 00:55:00.599
<v Speaker 8>How are you making the most out of the limited

1062
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:02.440
<v Speaker 8>time that you all do have together as a team

1063
00:55:02.480 --> 00:55:02.760
<v Speaker 8>right now?

1064
00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:05.360
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, we're just going hard each day because like you said,

1065
00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:07.000
<v Speaker 15>it's only a limited amount of time and a few

1066
00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:08.360
<v Speaker 15>things we can work on in the summer. But like

1067
00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:10.239
<v Speaker 15>the summer is just trying to, like I said, get

1068
00:55:10.280 --> 00:55:12.639
<v Speaker 15>everybody figured out, figure out what everybody can do well,

1069
00:55:12.679 --> 00:55:14.960
<v Speaker 15>and just try to implement some new things going into

1070
00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:15.360
<v Speaker 15>the fall.

1071
00:55:15.840 --> 00:55:18.440
<v Speaker 1>So Tyler is back and now joined by a lot

1072
00:55:18.440 --> 00:55:22.320
<v Speaker 1>of new faces, including Dajah Lawrence, who spent her career

1073
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:25.400
<v Speaker 1>prior to Kentucky four seasons at what they used to

1074
00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:28.239
<v Speaker 1>call you UNC Charlotte now just Charlotte, where she was

1075
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:32.480
<v Speaker 1>an All Conference performer, scored eleven hundred plus points, grabbed

1076
00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:36.159
<v Speaker 1>nearly three hundred rebounds, but decided to sign off with

1077
00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:38.079
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Brooks and the Wildcats.

1078
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:41.239
<v Speaker 12>Everybody was just so welcoming as soon as I came

1079
00:55:41.239 --> 00:55:44.760
<v Speaker 12>off the plane, the coaches, they welcomed me with open arms.

1080
00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:48.079
<v Speaker 12>Coach Brooks was amazing, he laid it out for me.

1081
00:55:48.480 --> 00:55:50.519
<v Speaker 12>And just the skilled development here. I think it will

1082
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:52.719
<v Speaker 12>help me get to the next level in the next

1083
00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:55.159
<v Speaker 12>part of my career. And just the fan base here

1084
00:55:55.199 --> 00:55:58.159
<v Speaker 12>at Kentucky. I've always watched Kentucky's wins basketball, even when

1085
00:55:58.199 --> 00:56:00.920
<v Speaker 12>I wasn't playing here, So just being able to play

1086
00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:02.239
<v Speaker 12>in the fan base, and I think it's a great

1087
00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:06.000
<v Speaker 12>opportunity right now, just pretty much everything's new, you know,

1088
00:56:06.199 --> 00:56:09.119
<v Speaker 12>just a new era of women's basketball right now Kentucky.

1089
00:56:09.880 --> 00:56:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Not to sound like a cynic, but aren't all recruiters

1090
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:14.320
<v Speaker 1>welcome in with open arms? I mean, what was it

1091
00:56:14.360 --> 00:56:17.159
<v Speaker 1>about Coach Brooks there had to be something kind of

1092
00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:18.119
<v Speaker 1>special about him.

1093
00:56:18.519 --> 00:56:21.559
<v Speaker 12>I just think the way he approached it, he just

1094
00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:23.920
<v Speaker 12>he felt he seemed very genuine, and you don't get

1095
00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:25.599
<v Speaker 12>that from a lot of coaches these days. A lot

1096
00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:28.320
<v Speaker 12>of coaches are all about, I just want you here

1097
00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:30.519
<v Speaker 12>to help us win. But he was like, I want,

1098
00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:33.119
<v Speaker 12>I want you to come, so of course you can

1099
00:56:33.159 --> 00:56:35.400
<v Speaker 12>help us win, but I'm going to help you improve,

1100
00:56:35.599 --> 00:56:38.320
<v Speaker 12>like as a woman and whatever you want to do

1101
00:56:38.400 --> 00:56:39.280
<v Speaker 12>post basketball.

1102
00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:42.519
<v Speaker 1>This is so brand new. I mean, new staff, new roster,

1103
00:56:42.679 --> 00:56:46.079
<v Speaker 1>almost new facilities. I mean, that's got to be exciting.

1104
00:56:46.119 --> 00:56:46.920
<v Speaker 1>What's that like for you?

1105
00:56:47.159 --> 00:56:49.840
<v Speaker 12>It's very exciting. I'm just grateful to be a part

1106
00:56:49.960 --> 00:56:52.440
<v Speaker 12>of the first team that gets to play in the

1107
00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:55.199
<v Speaker 12>new Memorial Coliseum. I think it's going to be very exciting,

1108
00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:57.880
<v Speaker 12>but it's it's also just it grounds me and I'm

1109
00:56:57.880 --> 00:56:59.480
<v Speaker 12>just grateful to have this opportunity.

1110
00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Dodger Lawrence is from Greenville, North Carolina, but this Kentucky

1111
00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:08.320
<v Speaker 1>team has a real international flare to it. Players from Portugal,

1112
00:57:08.360 --> 00:57:13.519
<v Speaker 1>the Czech Republic, and two players from Australia, including Amelia Hassett.

1113
00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:17.159
<v Speaker 10>It is difficult being like such a long way from

1114
00:57:17.159 --> 00:57:20.599
<v Speaker 10>family and obviously coming to a new place, it's obviously hard,

1115
00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:23.519
<v Speaker 10>but just having like the support system around and obviously

1116
00:57:23.559 --> 00:57:26.079
<v Speaker 10>all the girls kind of to keep you busy and

1117
00:57:26.400 --> 00:57:28.800
<v Speaker 10>get your mind off things, so it gets easier once

1118
00:57:28.840 --> 00:57:30.079
<v Speaker 10>you sort of get to know everyone.

1119
00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:31.880
<v Speaker 1>So how did you find your way to election?

1120
00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:33.400
<v Speaker 3>So?

1121
00:57:33.679 --> 00:57:36.599
<v Speaker 10>I went to a duco first, so obviously I was

1122
00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:41.280
<v Speaker 10>there for two years, and then obviously getting recruited by

1123
00:57:41.519 --> 00:57:44.880
<v Speaker 10>coach Brooks and then just loved his culture and everything

1124
00:57:44.920 --> 00:57:47.719
<v Speaker 10>about him and obviously all the coaching staff, and then

1125
00:57:48.119 --> 00:57:50.199
<v Speaker 10>when he said that he was coming to Kentucky, he

1126
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:52.440
<v Speaker 10>was kind of a no brainer, and it was mainly

1127
00:57:52.440 --> 00:57:54.960
<v Speaker 10>about him and the coaching stuff and obviously the girls

1128
00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:56.159
<v Speaker 10>that he had also coming.

1129
00:57:56.559 --> 00:58:00.000
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I've heard so much about him and his culture.

1130
00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:02.159
<v Speaker 1>How would you describe that? How would you explain it?

1131
00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:04.760
<v Speaker 10>I guess I would say he's very like caring and

1132
00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:06.920
<v Speaker 10>obviously cares about all of us and loves all of us,

1133
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:10.159
<v Speaker 10>but he's very like tough, loving, so like obviously on

1134
00:58:10.199 --> 00:58:12.119
<v Speaker 10>the court he wants us to perform and like be

1135
00:58:12.239 --> 00:58:14.800
<v Speaker 10>at our best, so obviously he pushes us a lot,

1136
00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:17.719
<v Speaker 10>but then obviously off the court he loves us, like

1137
00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:20.840
<v Speaker 10>obviously he's a girl dad, as he said, so yeah,

1138
00:58:20.840 --> 00:58:21.840
<v Speaker 10>he just loves all of us.

1139
00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:24.639
<v Speaker 1>You know what you're getting into with the SEC. It

1140
00:58:24.760 --> 00:58:27.840
<v Speaker 1>is the best and it's a tough physical league, especially

1141
00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:30.760
<v Speaker 1>for bigs. Yeah, how do you feel about that? Yeah?

1142
00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:34.599
<v Speaker 10>Obviously it is a big conference, so it's obviously going

1143
00:58:34.679 --> 00:58:37.000
<v Speaker 10>to be a step up from where I previously was.

1144
00:58:37.039 --> 00:58:39.559
<v Speaker 10>But I think just everyone here and obviously all the

1145
00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:42.079
<v Speaker 10>girls will be going up against each other and practice

1146
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:44.199
<v Speaker 10>and stuff, so I think will be prepared.

1147
00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:46.519
<v Speaker 1>As it is six three, they also have big so

1148
00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:48.920
<v Speaker 1>you go six four, six ' five and six seven.

1149
00:58:48.960 --> 00:58:51.400
<v Speaker 1>This is I got to think the biggest team in

1150
00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the history of UK women's basketball. Up next, West End

00:59:43.320 --> 00:59:46.199
<v Speaker 9>is where four twenty twenty eight Olympic Games are going

1173
00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:48.000
<v Speaker 9>to be, and well, let's just get right into this.

1174
00:59:48.039 --> 00:59:50.119
<v Speaker 9>Two guys in a six pack. This is our first

1175
00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:53.800
<v Speaker 9>sip here. We're talking about the Olympics now, although I

1176
00:59:53.840 --> 00:59:56.639
<v Speaker 9>will tell you out there people in Los Angeles have

1177
00:59:56.760 --> 01:00:00.960
<v Speaker 9>been talking about the opening ceremony that we saw in Paris,

1178
01:00:01.039 --> 01:00:04.719
<v Speaker 9>which is by far, nobody's going to top that, Okay, La,

1179
01:00:04.960 --> 01:00:06.840
<v Speaker 9>with all the stars and all the cool things that

1180
01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:08.639
<v Speaker 9>are out there, they ain't going to top Paris in

1181
01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:11.519
<v Speaker 9>four years to compete with the Louver and the Eiffel

1182
01:00:11.559 --> 01:00:13.719
<v Speaker 9>Tower and the Sin and all of that. And I

1183
01:00:13.719 --> 01:00:15.920
<v Speaker 9>know a lot of people are still talking about what happened.

1184
01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:19.320
<v Speaker 9>You know that whole silly controversy about the last supper painting,

1185
01:00:19.639 --> 01:00:23.159
<v Speaker 9>a painting that people got outraged by. Had no problem

1186
01:00:23.199 --> 01:00:25.960
<v Speaker 9>with the Mona Lisa floating in the sin, by the way,

1187
01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:28.320
<v Speaker 9>That other Da Vinci wasn't the real one, by the way,

1188
01:00:28.760 --> 01:00:33.039
<v Speaker 9>right exactly. So we talked about stuff that happened on there,

1189
01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:37.440
<v Speaker 9>and maybe the worst thing that happened was that it

1190
01:00:38.519 --> 01:00:41.159
<v Speaker 9>least a flagholder guy lost his wedding ring in the sin.

1191
01:00:41.199 --> 01:00:42.559
<v Speaker 9>Maybe it was the worst thing that happened during the

1192
01:00:42.599 --> 01:00:44.719
<v Speaker 9>whole thing. But you know what didn't happen during the

1193
01:00:44.760 --> 01:00:47.000
<v Speaker 9>opening ceremony. Let to go down the list. There were

1194
01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:50.440
<v Speaker 9>no terrorist attacks during the ceremonies, were no boat crashes.

1195
01:00:50.599 --> 01:00:53.800
<v Speaker 9>Nobody jumped the torch bears running with that, and speaking

1196
01:00:53.800 --> 01:00:56.039
<v Speaker 9>of running, nobody slipped and fell that I saw carrying

1197
01:00:56.039 --> 01:00:58.920
<v Speaker 9>the torches or doing any of the stunts on the

1198
01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:01.719
<v Speaker 9>whole thing. Of course, there was no dry weather either,

1199
01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:05.280
<v Speaker 9>But there are also no extra notes for Mike Arriko

1200
01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:07.400
<v Speaker 9>to tell us who some of the performers were or

1201
01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:09.960
<v Speaker 9>where some of the countries were located. I mean, I'd

1202
01:01:09.960 --> 01:01:12.480
<v Speaker 9>say they're going through all this going like where's Togo again?

1203
01:01:12.679 --> 01:01:15.159
<v Speaker 9>Not the sandwich shop either. But you know what, Dick,

1204
01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:17.159
<v Speaker 9>I think, aside from all of that, it was the

1205
01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:20.800
<v Speaker 9>best opening Olympic ceremony by far I've ever seen.

1206
01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I heard complaints about the boats and then it wasn't

1207
01:01:24.039 --> 01:01:28.639
<v Speaker 1>a traditional march in not many either. I loved it.

1208
01:01:28.679 --> 01:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was you know how I am anything

1209
01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>that's just different, and the sane rivers, as polluted as

1210
01:01:34.400 --> 01:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>it is, is such an important part of the history

1211
01:01:38.519 --> 01:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>of that city. But I just thought it was a

1212
01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>great idea. I tipped my cap in the pouring rain

1213
01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:47.119
<v Speaker 1>to any of the texts who had anything to do,

1214
01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, getting that on television. People have no idea

1215
01:01:51.320 --> 01:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>how tough it is in the rain to make that happen,

1216
01:01:54.639 --> 01:01:58.559
<v Speaker 1>and communicating things like that. I loved it, And yeah,

1217
01:01:58.599 --> 01:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I felt to the guy with a wedding rising, but

1218
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:05.159
<v Speaker 1>I think his wife understood second swig on the six packs.

1219
01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk USA Olympic basketball. USA women coming into

1220
01:02:08.840 --> 01:02:12.119
<v Speaker 1>the Paris Olympics looking for their eighth straight gold medal.

1221
01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:14.159
<v Speaker 1>They're off to a great start, of course, blowing out

1222
01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Japan one oh seven seventy six on Monday. How if

1223
01:02:17.360 --> 01:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you saw this before the game, A Japan fan held

1224
01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:23.159
<v Speaker 1>up a sign that said, you need Caitlin Clark to

1225
01:02:23.199 --> 01:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>beat US. Yeah, if they wanted to beat Japan by

1226
01:02:26.360 --> 01:02:30.119
<v Speaker 1>more than twenty six yeah, maybe then. The men's USA

1227
01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:32.800
<v Speaker 1>teams won seven out of the last eight gold May

1228
01:02:32.840 --> 01:02:35.679
<v Speaker 1>I bring up when they settled for the bronze in

1229
01:02:35.679 --> 01:02:38.559
<v Speaker 1>the two thousand and four Athens Games, when Argentina beat

1230
01:02:38.559 --> 01:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Italy in the finals. Hopefully that won't happen again this year.

1231
01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:44.559
<v Speaker 1>Clearly though, the European competition has gotten a lot better

1232
01:02:44.599 --> 01:02:48.239
<v Speaker 1>for the men and Dick after the WNBA Stars beat

1233
01:02:48.320 --> 01:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>up on Team USA, I ask you who's under more

1234
01:02:50.800 --> 01:02:54.039
<v Speaker 1>pressure to get the gold? The women or those men

1235
01:02:54.119 --> 01:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>who looked pretty mortal in that exhibition with South Sudan.

1236
01:02:57.239 --> 01:02:59.599
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a great that's a great question, I

1237
01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>would say of the men, just because the spotlight burns

1238
01:03:02.880 --> 01:03:06.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot brighter and hotter on the men's team. But

1239
01:03:06.280 --> 01:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>you make a great point about the women's team. I'm

1240
01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:11.519
<v Speaker 1>a little surprised, Gary that the world hasn't made greater

1241
01:03:11.639 --> 01:03:15.199
<v Speaker 1>strides in women's basketball, because we taught the world how

1242
01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:17.719
<v Speaker 1>to play basketball. And I thought one of the most

1243
01:03:17.760 --> 01:03:22.039
<v Speaker 1>telling stats about people love to compare and it's ridiculous.

1244
01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>You should never do this. Whatever Olympic year we're in

1245
01:03:26.000 --> 01:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>that basketball team to the true dream team, the Michael

1246
01:03:28.920 --> 01:03:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Dree never ever ever do that. You should never

1247
01:03:31.800 --> 01:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>do that. But that team Gary in Olympic competition faced

1248
01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:41.159
<v Speaker 1>a total of nine NBA players. On other teams, this

1249
01:03:41.199 --> 01:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>team will face a total of sixty one at least

1250
01:03:44.440 --> 01:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>NBA players, which is one of the reasons South Sedan

1251
01:03:47.039 --> 01:03:50.199
<v Speaker 1>gave him as scared in a preliminary game. So but

1252
01:03:50.519 --> 01:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Charles Barkley was talking on his podcast about what made

1253
01:03:54.320 --> 01:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the Dream Team, among many things, so special, and he

1254
01:03:57.800 --> 01:04:00.719
<v Speaker 1>said it was the unselfishness. Everybody knew Michael was the star,

1255
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:03.679
<v Speaker 1>but he said Chuck Daily did such a great job

1256
01:04:03.960 --> 01:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>of handling the egos and everybody played for one another,

1257
01:04:07.480 --> 01:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>for each other. He said, the next Dream Dream Team,

1258
01:04:10.320 --> 01:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the next Olympic team he was on, was totally selfish,

1259
01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:16.119
<v Speaker 1>and he said was miserable. So that is I think

1260
01:04:16.239 --> 01:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the key to getting things done.

1261
01:04:20.159 --> 01:04:23.440
<v Speaker 9>Agree one hundred third swig in the six pack. One

1262
01:04:23.440 --> 01:04:26.719
<v Speaker 9>of my favorite questions to ever ask you, are you

1263
01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:28.559
<v Speaker 9>ready for some pro football?

1264
01:04:29.559 --> 01:04:29.719
<v Speaker 1>Now?

1265
01:04:29.760 --> 01:04:34.599
<v Speaker 9>Do we care it's meaningless practice pro football? No, we don't.

1266
01:04:34.639 --> 01:04:37.639
<v Speaker 9>The annual Hall of Fame Game Dick tomorrow night already

1267
01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:42.800
<v Speaker 9>eight pm ABC at ESPN. That's been a good summer

1268
01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:46.039
<v Speaker 9>for two players in particular. I want to point out one.

1269
01:04:46.159 --> 01:04:49.519
<v Speaker 9>Your boy, quarterback Jordan Love, took the Packers for a

1270
01:04:49.599 --> 01:04:53.519
<v Speaker 9>four year, two hundred and twenty million extension, seventy five

1271
01:04:53.639 --> 01:04:56.480
<v Speaker 9>million dollars signing bonus one hundred and sixty million guaranteed.

1272
01:04:56.760 --> 01:05:00.320
<v Speaker 9>It's the richest quarterback, right, so, the richest content for

1273
01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:04.360
<v Speaker 9>quarterback in NFL history, and uh it he deserves it.

1274
01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:06.119
<v Speaker 9>I mean, look at his super Bowl record. I mean

1275
01:05:06.159 --> 01:05:11.000
<v Speaker 9>it's like a uh wait a minute, that's checking notes.

1276
01:05:11.039 --> 01:05:13.440
<v Speaker 9>It doesn't seem to be one here. Well, well, then

1277
01:05:13.840 --> 01:05:15.159
<v Speaker 9>if he doesn't have a super Bowl, how about the

1278
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:18.679
<v Speaker 9>playoff record? Look how long this? Oh well that's nothing.

1279
01:05:19.199 --> 01:05:22.360
<v Speaker 9>Let's see one and one and okay, two hundred and

1280
01:05:22.360 --> 01:05:25.119
<v Speaker 9>twenty million for all that. Okay, Well, he's gonna be

1281
01:05:25.440 --> 01:05:28.079
<v Speaker 9>really good and get him down the line, we hope.

1282
01:05:28.519 --> 01:05:31.400
<v Speaker 9>Then there's Tua and the Dolphins checkbook. He just dinged

1283
01:05:31.440 --> 01:05:34.440
<v Speaker 9>the Fish front office for two hundred and twelve point

1284
01:05:34.519 --> 01:05:37.880
<v Speaker 9>four million, an extension over four years with even more

1285
01:05:37.920 --> 01:05:41.039
<v Speaker 9>guaranteed dough than Love. One hundred and sixty seven million.

1286
01:05:41.440 --> 01:05:43.760
<v Speaker 9>And how about his playoff record. Huh, that's something to

1287
01:05:43.800 --> 01:05:47.960
<v Speaker 9>really be impressed. Zhe to one in the playoffs against

1288
01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:51.119
<v Speaker 9>that in that sub zero game. It's Kansas City quarterback

1289
01:05:51.199 --> 01:05:55.239
<v Speaker 9>rating sixty three point nine. Okay, well, uh, let me

1290
01:05:55.280 --> 01:05:57.480
<v Speaker 9>ask you this, did your pack and the Fins fork

1291
01:05:57.519 --> 01:06:01.159
<v Speaker 9>over way too much dough for two little so far?

1292
01:06:02.360 --> 01:06:05.199
<v Speaker 1>Maybe so I know that's not the answer you're looking for.

1293
01:06:05.280 --> 01:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>But one of the first things I always remind myself

1294
01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:11.159
<v Speaker 1>when I read about these contracts, and there's a lot

1295
01:06:11.159 --> 01:06:15.079
<v Speaker 1>of guaranteed money, but NFL contracts, as you know, because

1296
01:06:15.079 --> 01:06:17.360
<v Speaker 1>you've you've covered a lot of Major League Baseball not

1297
01:06:17.559 --> 01:06:21.679
<v Speaker 1>the same as Baseball and NBA contracts. You can get

1298
01:06:21.719 --> 01:06:25.559
<v Speaker 1>if you get a signing bonus, that's great, but not

1299
01:06:25.760 --> 01:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>all of it is guaranteed, and it's easier for teams

1300
01:06:29.360 --> 01:06:32.400
<v Speaker 1>to get out from under that money than it is

1301
01:06:32.440 --> 01:06:35.480
<v Speaker 1>to have to pay up. You make a great point

1302
01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>about what are these guys accomplished. Clearly, the franchisers are

1303
01:06:38.840 --> 01:06:41.199
<v Speaker 1>saying we believe in you, were committing to you for

1304
01:06:41.280 --> 01:06:43.719
<v Speaker 1>the future, and that sends a message to the rest

1305
01:06:43.719 --> 01:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>of the franchise. But you're going to make sure you

1306
01:06:45.800 --> 01:06:48.760
<v Speaker 1>put people around them who aren't going to, you know,

1307
01:06:48.840 --> 01:06:50.719
<v Speaker 1>grumble and put their heads down. And why are you

1308
01:06:50.800 --> 01:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>getting that by kind of money?

1309
01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:52.400
<v Speaker 10>Uh?

1310
01:06:52.840 --> 01:06:55.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, Well, we'll go back to the conversation you

1311
01:06:56.000 --> 01:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>and I had this time last year about Love, when

1312
01:06:59.480 --> 01:07:02.639
<v Speaker 1>we talked about Aaron Rodgers trundling off to New York

1313
01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:06.079
<v Speaker 1>and how the Packers players and some of the front

1314
01:07:06.119 --> 01:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>office people could not stop praising Jordan Love, who'd yet

1315
01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:13.599
<v Speaker 1>to take a snap that season. But they loved him.

1316
01:07:13.639 --> 01:07:15.599
<v Speaker 1>They loved his work ethic, and I think they love

1317
01:07:15.679 --> 01:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>being out from under the Aaron Rodgers umbrella. And so

1318
01:07:19.840 --> 01:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I think his teammates are going to be rooting for him.

1319
01:07:22.480 --> 01:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I gotta think they're happy that he got the money. Now,

1320
01:07:25.440 --> 01:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>you're right, his Super Bowl experience is a watch again

1321
01:07:28.800 --> 01:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>on television. He might have gotten to go. A Cano

1322
01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:35.119
<v Speaker 1>players get tickets, so maybe he goes, but he also

1323
01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>gets Gary to go buy the images and the trophies

1324
01:07:39.440 --> 01:07:41.599
<v Speaker 1>in Green Bay every day, and his way to work.

1325
01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:45.159
<v Speaker 1>He knows what's expected, and so does Tua for that matter.

1326
01:07:46.280 --> 01:07:48.360
<v Speaker 9>It's probably more than a couple of Packer fans. Well,

1327
01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:50.639
<v Speaker 9>he's worth all that just for beating the damn Cowboys

1328
01:07:50.719 --> 01:07:51.199
<v Speaker 9>last year.

1329
01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:56.840
<v Speaker 1>You and by the way, being an owner, I passed

1330
01:07:56.880 --> 01:07:59.239
<v Speaker 1>on the opportunity to go. They always have a shareholders

1331
01:07:59.320 --> 01:08:01.960
<v Speaker 1>meeting in the summer. I can never work it into

1332
01:08:01.960 --> 01:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>my schedule. So I might have been able to get

1333
01:08:04.440 --> 01:08:07.559
<v Speaker 1>up there and question this and jump into the middle

1334
01:08:07.559 --> 01:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>of this, but I just didn't get the opportunity. So

1335
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:11.079
<v Speaker 1>I blame myself.

1336
01:08:11.480 --> 01:08:14.679
<v Speaker 9>I understand that fourth swig and the six pack. One

1337
01:08:14.719 --> 01:08:16.760
<v Speaker 9>more from the NFL that I think hits home with

1338
01:08:16.800 --> 01:08:19.479
<v Speaker 9>you being the best sideline guy ever in the business.

1339
01:08:19.479 --> 01:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

1340
01:08:20.760 --> 01:08:23.479
<v Speaker 9>New policy in the NFL has each team in every

1341
01:08:23.520 --> 01:08:26.880
<v Speaker 9>game providing a coach available for a live interview during

1342
01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:29.760
<v Speaker 9>the game, not just going into or coming out of

1343
01:08:29.760 --> 01:08:34.119
<v Speaker 9>the locker room at halftime. Now, initially they specified a

1344
01:08:34.279 --> 01:08:37.760
<v Speaker 9>head coach, but you could hear the swear words emanating

1345
01:08:37.760 --> 01:08:41.119
<v Speaker 9>from practice fields clear over here over that. So it's

1346
01:08:41.159 --> 01:08:44.399
<v Speaker 9>going to be the option of head coaches or defensive

1347
01:08:44.520 --> 01:08:48.720
<v Speaker 9>or offensive coordinators at the end of quarters or at halftime.

1348
01:08:49.680 --> 01:08:51.239
<v Speaker 9>I think you and I both know who's going to

1349
01:08:51.239 --> 01:08:53.319
<v Speaker 9>be doing the talking and exactly when that's going to

1350
01:08:53.359 --> 01:08:56.119
<v Speaker 9>be happening. And let me ask you this, what is

1351
01:08:56.199 --> 01:09:00.560
<v Speaker 9>this nonsense? Of interviewing WNBA coaches and emil BE players

1352
01:09:00.560 --> 01:09:04.159
<v Speaker 9>major League Baseball players during their games while they're trying

1353
01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:07.880
<v Speaker 9>to do stuff. Coaches in the WNBA clearly hate it.

1354
01:09:07.960 --> 01:09:12.760
<v Speaker 9>And in baseball, besides inane questions from the booth, we've

1355
01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:15.720
<v Speaker 9>already seen players commit erris while they've been miked up. Dick,

1356
01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:18.239
<v Speaker 9>I ask you, what's next? Should we be chatting with

1357
01:09:18.279 --> 01:09:21.000
<v Speaker 9>Simone Biles during her double layout with a half twist

1358
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:24.039
<v Speaker 9>and triple double? Hey, how's the width on that balance

1359
01:09:24.079 --> 01:09:24.840
<v Speaker 9>being going for you?

1360
01:09:24.920 --> 01:09:25.079
<v Speaker 1>There?

1361
01:09:25.199 --> 01:09:27.319
<v Speaker 9>Huh oh, looks like it kind of slipped a little bit.

1362
01:09:27.359 --> 01:09:27.479
<v Speaker 13>There.

1363
01:09:27.520 --> 01:09:29.760
<v Speaker 9>You're gonna rectify that? How's it going, Simone?

1364
01:09:29.880 --> 01:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>How's your ankle feel right now?

1365
01:09:32.800 --> 01:09:33.039
<v Speaker 9>Right?

1366
01:09:33.319 --> 01:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? As someone who's remember the honorable order of sideline reporters,

1367
01:09:38.359 --> 01:09:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, first of all, let's let's let's go last first.

1368
01:09:42.079 --> 01:09:46.039
<v Speaker 1>In game interviews are great in All Star games, in

1369
01:09:46.199 --> 01:09:51.039
<v Speaker 1>exhibition game, they're great, they're fun, they're agreed. Agree. I'm

1370
01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:53.800
<v Speaker 1>not a fan of end game. They make me nervous,

1371
01:09:54.119 --> 01:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and I feel bad for the players who have to

1372
01:09:55.840 --> 01:09:59.680
<v Speaker 1>do them, especially to WNBA coaches who have to do them.

1373
01:09:59.720 --> 01:10:02.039
<v Speaker 1>But I I think what happens is these clowns who

1374
01:10:02.079 --> 01:10:05.319
<v Speaker 1>make these decisions men and women see the success of

1375
01:10:05.359 --> 01:10:08.479
<v Speaker 1>them in the exhibition games. Ooh, we need that energy

1376
01:10:08.520 --> 01:10:11.119
<v Speaker 1>in our games. No, that's a bad idea. I don't

1377
01:10:11.199 --> 01:10:14.680
<v Speaker 1>like it. I'm okay with coordinators, you know why, because

1378
01:10:14.680 --> 01:10:18.159
<v Speaker 1>of a head coach doesn't clearly they're not gonna want

1379
01:10:18.199 --> 01:10:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to do it, and they're gonna be ticked off about it.

1380
01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:23.239
<v Speaker 1>You ain't gonna get much. But oftentimes assistant coaches give

1381
01:10:23.279 --> 01:10:25.840
<v Speaker 1>you more, they give you better stuff, and let's face it,

1382
01:10:25.880 --> 01:10:28.279
<v Speaker 1>they might be auditioning to be a head coach and

1383
01:10:28.319 --> 01:10:31.039
<v Speaker 1>trying to impress somebody. So, ah, you know why not.

1384
01:10:32.119 --> 01:10:35.159
<v Speaker 9>I will miss Nick Saban being interviewed at halftime after

1385
01:10:35.199 --> 01:10:36.840
<v Speaker 9>they got like a thirty four to nothing lead, and

1386
01:10:36.840 --> 01:10:39.319
<v Speaker 9>he's sandbagging. Well, you know, we're doing all these things wrong.

1387
01:10:39.359 --> 01:10:42.119
<v Speaker 9>Here I can go and yell at them. You go

1388
01:10:42.239 --> 01:10:45.760
<v Speaker 9>do that, coach Fitswig and the six Backs. I mentioned

1389
01:10:46.159 --> 01:10:48.840
<v Speaker 9>being out in LA with the new West Coast Bureau office,

1390
01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:52.039
<v Speaker 9>and I checked on our three Dodgers with Kentucky connections,

1391
01:10:52.800 --> 01:10:57.079
<v Speaker 9>Walker Bueller, Will Smith and Bobby Miller. Walker Lexington native

1392
01:10:57.239 --> 01:10:59.800
<v Speaker 9>trying to bounce back after his second Timmy John surgery,

1393
01:11:00.680 --> 01:11:03.119
<v Speaker 9>Dicky wasn't the same before he went on the IL

1394
01:11:03.199 --> 01:11:07.000
<v Speaker 9>with a hip problem and a five point eighty four eer.

1395
01:11:07.880 --> 01:11:09.720
<v Speaker 9>I can tell you his confidence has really taken a

1396
01:11:09.800 --> 01:11:12.359
<v Speaker 9>hit hit. He wasn't getting his fourth seamer where he

1397
01:11:12.399 --> 01:11:14.920
<v Speaker 9>wanted it, and his velocity was down a little bit,

1398
01:11:14.960 --> 01:11:16.560
<v Speaker 9>and I quite frankly, I don't know if he's going

1399
01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:19.520
<v Speaker 9>to come back this season as a starter at all,

1400
01:11:20.079 --> 01:11:22.720
<v Speaker 9>if at all. Louisville native Will Smith made it the

1401
01:11:22.800 --> 01:11:25.880
<v Speaker 9>All Star Game, but the summer heat I think is

1402
01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:27.840
<v Speaker 9>catching up to him. Will started June with a two

1403
01:11:27.960 --> 01:11:30.279
<v Speaker 9>ninety four average, went down to two seventy one by

1404
01:11:30.279 --> 01:11:33.039
<v Speaker 9>the first of July is now two fifty six. They

1405
01:11:33.079 --> 01:11:34.840
<v Speaker 9>will definitely need his bat if they're going to do

1406
01:11:34.840 --> 01:11:37.319
<v Speaker 9>anything in the postseason. And former U of L star

1407
01:11:37.399 --> 01:11:41.560
<v Speaker 9>pitcher Bobby Miller suffered a shoulder injury two weeks into

1408
01:11:41.560 --> 01:11:44.159
<v Speaker 9>the season. He's tried to come back. He had a

1409
01:11:44.159 --> 01:11:47.000
<v Speaker 9>disastrous ERA over eight, was sent to the miners to

1410
01:11:47.000 --> 01:11:49.439
<v Speaker 9>work it out. That's still in progress kind of a thing,

1411
01:11:49.760 --> 01:11:53.079
<v Speaker 9>although getting former Cardinal we know very well LA native

1412
01:11:53.199 --> 01:11:57.520
<v Speaker 9>Jack Flaherty yesterday should help. Even though the Dodgers are

1413
01:11:57.600 --> 01:12:00.439
<v Speaker 9>still three to one favorites now to win the World Series.

1414
01:12:00.479 --> 01:12:04.479
<v Speaker 9>I'm telling you, Dick, they're in trouble. They've played under

1415
01:12:04.520 --> 01:12:09.520
<v Speaker 9>five hundred ball in July. Last night the bullpen blew

1416
01:12:09.560 --> 01:12:14.720
<v Speaker 9>another game in the ninth and tenth innings, and other

1417
01:12:14.760 --> 01:12:17.479
<v Speaker 9>than the White Sox, no bullpen has blown more games

1418
01:12:17.520 --> 01:12:19.720
<v Speaker 9>than the Dodgers' bullpen so far this season.

1419
01:12:19.960 --> 01:12:23.479
<v Speaker 1>I would just city, I just wish Walker until he's

1420
01:12:23.479 --> 01:12:26.279
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent. Just shut it down. Get healthy. Yeah,

1421
01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:28.319
<v Speaker 1>even if he has to miss the residence season, shut

1422
01:12:28.319 --> 01:12:31.399
<v Speaker 1>it down and get healthy. We got about two minutes here,

1423
01:12:31.439 --> 01:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>go ahead.

1424
01:12:33.119 --> 01:12:36.479
<v Speaker 9>Finally, Dick, we were over in Paris last October. Greatest

1425
01:12:36.479 --> 01:12:39.239
<v Speaker 9>destination for foodies on planet Earth on the other end

1426
01:12:39.279 --> 01:12:43.199
<v Speaker 9>of the gormandizing gauge. Two worse places for food for

1427
01:12:43.319 --> 01:12:47.560
<v Speaker 9>me on this or any other planet airports and ballparks.

1428
01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:50.760
<v Speaker 9>I know I'm on the minority in the ballpark thing,

1429
01:12:51.720 --> 01:12:54.159
<v Speaker 9>but I bring this up because ESPN and my Summer

1430
01:12:54.159 --> 01:12:57.520
<v Speaker 9>Weekly reader had a story about the Kansas City Royals

1431
01:12:57.560 --> 01:13:02.520
<v Speaker 9>new Taste of k tacoping a new MLB ballpark food list.

1432
01:13:03.119 --> 01:13:08.560
<v Speaker 9>Hot dog wrapped in a cheeseburger case of deal with barbecue, brisket, fries, lettuce, onion,

1433
01:13:08.600 --> 01:13:14.399
<v Speaker 9>Shratchy Siracha, Crackerjacks and eight sixteen sauce. Whatever has Matt

1434
01:13:14.399 --> 01:13:19.000
<v Speaker 9>liquid that is. The Arizona Diamondbacks have apple pie chimney changas.

1435
01:13:19.000 --> 01:13:21.760
<v Speaker 9>The Red Sox have Irish nachos. I ask you, would

1436
01:13:21.800 --> 01:13:23.079
<v Speaker 9>you try any of those?

1437
01:13:23.399 --> 01:13:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Negative? Negative? But one thing I did learn when I

1438
01:13:27.000 --> 01:13:29.600
<v Speaker 1>was running around the country with Doug Flynn about ten

1439
01:13:29.680 --> 01:13:32.720
<v Speaker 1>years ago for two seasons during the minor league game

1440
01:13:32.720 --> 01:13:37.800
<v Speaker 1>of the week. These franchises, these companies, they're serious, man.

1441
01:13:37.840 --> 01:13:42.399
<v Speaker 1>There are full fledged chefs working at these ballparks. Some

1442
01:13:42.479 --> 01:13:44.439
<v Speaker 1>of them, though, are I think just getting bored and

1443
01:13:44.479 --> 01:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>a little too creative. So yeah, but I'll say this,

1444
01:13:49.079 --> 01:13:51.039
<v Speaker 1>my go to is still I hope they still have it.

1445
01:13:51.039 --> 01:13:53.119
<v Speaker 1>I haven't been up in a while at reds games.

1446
01:13:53.199 --> 01:13:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Belgian waffles with the chicken chicken and waffles. Oh my god.

1447
01:13:57.920 --> 01:14:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Oh they great? Yeah, Oh pricey, but worth it. Gary

1448
01:14:01.359 --> 01:14:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Moore is our West Coast Bureau Chief slash West End

1449
01:14:03.680 --> 01:14:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Bureau Chief. He's been bouncing back and forth between LA

1450
01:14:07.039 --> 01:14:09.159
<v Speaker 1>and Louisville area. We're back in just a minute on

1451
01:14:09.199 --> 01:14:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the Big Moon Sider six thirty. Welcome back. We are

1452
01:14:11.720 --> 01:14:14.600
<v Speaker 1>chatting with our West End Bureau chief Gary Moore. We

1453
01:14:14.720 --> 01:14:16.760
<v Speaker 1>went through two guys in a six pack now for

1454
01:14:16.840 --> 01:14:21.199
<v Speaker 1>a couple of hot reads and Gary, the Canadian women's

1455
01:14:21.199 --> 01:14:25.039
<v Speaker 1>soccer team lost its appeal, So it's being heavily penalized

1456
01:14:25.279 --> 01:14:30.479
<v Speaker 1>for spying on the New Zealand team with drones. Now, nice,

1457
01:14:31.239 --> 01:14:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how in the world is there? Yeah, how

1458
01:14:34.600 --> 01:14:39.000
<v Speaker 1>can you expect this day and age not to be caught?

1459
01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Number one? Number two? Is there just not enough video

1460
01:14:42.359 --> 01:14:45.079
<v Speaker 1>out there of the New Zealand team playing soccer to

1461
01:14:45.119 --> 01:14:48.479
<v Speaker 1>where you have to use drones to scout in this

1462
01:14:48.600 --> 01:14:51.439
<v Speaker 1>day and age. You know somebody with a shotgun is

1463
01:14:51.479 --> 01:14:53.039
<v Speaker 1>going to take your drone down right.

1464
01:14:53.720 --> 01:14:56.319
<v Speaker 9>Plus, there's a history of this. ESPN's reporter that this

1465
01:14:56.399 --> 01:14:59.720
<v Speaker 9>is not the first time that the Canadian women and

1466
01:14:59.800 --> 01:15:03.159
<v Speaker 9>men have tried to cheat and spy. This goes back

1467
01:15:03.399 --> 01:15:05.960
<v Speaker 9>two or three four years ago. Apparently they did this

1468
01:15:06.439 --> 01:15:10.279
<v Speaker 9>with the Tokyo women's soccer team in twenty one. So

1469
01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:13.000
<v Speaker 9>ESPN's got quite the whole history about this sort of thing.

1470
01:15:13.039 --> 01:15:16.159
<v Speaker 9>So this isn't just an isolated, isolated incident here. This

1471
01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:18.600
<v Speaker 9>goes back a little bit. They're lucky they're still even

1472
01:15:18.640 --> 01:15:20.880
<v Speaker 9>playing as far as I'm concerned they're lucky because they

1473
01:15:21.279 --> 01:15:22.880
<v Speaker 9>could have really come down and shut out the whole thing,

1474
01:15:22.880 --> 01:15:25.119
<v Speaker 9>which is bad for the players. Players aren't cheaters that

1475
01:15:25.439 --> 01:15:28.680
<v Speaker 9>it's the people around them, the coaches, administrators, that kind

1476
01:15:28.720 --> 01:15:28.960
<v Speaker 9>of thing.

1477
01:15:29.159 --> 01:15:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they said, well sorry, but aren't they supposed

1478
01:15:32.720 --> 01:15:34.359
<v Speaker 1>to be the nice people that can.

1479
01:15:34.479 --> 01:15:36.399
<v Speaker 9>Right, Yeah, so out of character.

1480
01:15:36.439 --> 01:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm so just seems like it or maybe they've duped

1481
01:15:38.880 --> 01:15:43.399
<v Speaker 1>us all along. Right. My other hot read is just

1482
01:15:43.520 --> 01:15:46.720
<v Speaker 1>your take on what happened at the end of TBT

1483
01:15:46.920 --> 01:15:51.039
<v Speaker 1>the quarterfinal game. I call it I'm finding out for

1484
01:15:51.159 --> 01:15:53.880
<v Speaker 1>my younger friends. This is an antiquated term. But the

1485
01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>dust up whatever, it wasn't a brawl. It was described

1486
01:15:56.840 --> 01:16:00.600
<v Speaker 1>as a brawl, but what it was was silly and

1487
01:16:00.640 --> 01:16:03.680
<v Speaker 1>El's down and all that stuff. I guess that's forever

1488
01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be a part of the rivalry, just like

1489
01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:08.840
<v Speaker 1>the picture of now head coach Tyler Elis with blood

1490
01:16:08.920 --> 01:16:10.079
<v Speaker 1>streaming down his face.

1491
01:16:10.840 --> 01:16:13.199
<v Speaker 9>As pat Riley once said to chick Hern when he

1492
01:16:13.279 --> 01:16:16.479
<v Speaker 9>was on the Lakers broadcast, I've seen more pushing in

1493
01:16:16.479 --> 01:16:20.239
<v Speaker 9>the men's room at the end of that gaze. But

1494
01:16:20.279 --> 01:16:22.640
<v Speaker 9>you know what, some of these guys, you know, do

1495
01:16:22.800 --> 01:16:25.000
<v Speaker 9>all the trash talking you want to do when the

1496
01:16:25.039 --> 01:16:28.399
<v Speaker 9>buzzer sounds at the end of it. That's it enough already,

1497
01:16:29.239 --> 01:16:31.039
<v Speaker 9>even if it's how personal it is. Some of these

1498
01:16:31.039 --> 01:16:33.479
<v Speaker 9>guys need to go play in the Dirt Bowl, which

1499
01:16:33.560 --> 01:16:35.840
<v Speaker 9>by the way, is going on right now still over

1500
01:16:36.000 --> 01:16:39.119
<v Speaker 9>in Cherokee Park and learn how to do the trash

1501
01:16:39.159 --> 01:16:41.199
<v Speaker 9>talking and then end up shaking hands at the end

1502
01:16:41.239 --> 01:16:42.800
<v Speaker 9>of it. Some of these guys still need to learn

1503
01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:43.520
<v Speaker 9>that well.

1504
01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:45.760
<v Speaker 1>And you know, Nate Cistina with the l's down in

1505
01:16:45.840 --> 01:16:49.000
<v Speaker 1>mid court, you know that that does sparks something. Yep,

1506
01:16:49.079 --> 01:16:52.119
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I could, I could understand being upset, but

1507
01:16:52.239 --> 01:16:57.399
<v Speaker 1>spitting on somebody and that's sense apologized. Yeah. In fact,

1508
01:16:57.640 --> 01:16:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Sean Woods said that earlier on the show. That's the

1509
01:16:59.479 --> 01:17:01.319
<v Speaker 1>worst thing you can do so.

1510
01:17:01.439 --> 01:17:04.439
<v Speaker 9>Much is yeah, I agree. You know, you can start

1511
01:17:04.600 --> 01:17:07.720
<v Speaker 9>talking about their mom, you can jaw back, yeah, but

1512
01:17:07.800 --> 01:17:11.680
<v Speaker 9>don't be spitting or you know, popping off or cold

1513
01:17:11.680 --> 01:17:12.640
<v Speaker 9>cocking somebody.

1514
01:17:12.920 --> 01:17:13.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1515
01:17:13.159 --> 01:17:15.079
<v Speaker 9>You know, that was really a bad look, you know,

1516
01:17:15.199 --> 01:17:17.600
<v Speaker 9>and it's too bad because that was a great crowd

1517
01:17:17.600 --> 01:17:18.239
<v Speaker 9>thirteen thousand.

1518
01:17:18.279 --> 01:17:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah. The other night, speaking of bad looks, you're
