Speaker 4: I'm getting there.
Speaker 2: But the TBT helped, true, it did.
Speaker 3: Help, all right, hold chickens four four fried chickens and
Speaker 3: a coke. Be honest, both of you, mister Gershaw and
Speaker 3: mister Picoro, what did you expect Saturday.
Speaker 2: Going in for Georgia to cover the spread? When yeah,
Speaker 2: opened to open twenty four, closing twenty two. So yeah,
Speaker 2: Kentucky absolutely exceeded my expectations. To give him a lot
Speaker 2: of credit for him for it. But they could have won.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not only did they cover, they could have won.
Speaker 14: Kentucky, did you expect a route?
Speaker 13: Kentucky's the only team three in the past five years
Speaker 13: to hold Georgia under twenty points a game in the
Speaker 13: entire country.
Speaker 14: They're the only ones.
Speaker 2: They've lost all three. That's how good that freaking Georgia
Speaker 2: team is.
Speaker 3: In each of the last three Kentucky Georgia games in
Speaker 3: election in Georgia has scored no more than sixteen.
Speaker 2: Y's correct, Abe, It's amazing.
Speaker 14: It's unreal, and they haven't won any of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, u case twelve was their most UK's highest total
Speaker 2: in those three games.
Speaker 4: So you guys were way up high.
Speaker 3: You were probably about thirty feet apart up in a
Speaker 3: press box from where you all sat. I've heard mister
Speaker 3: Bocoro's take on this, but we'll get back to that.
Speaker 3: But Aaron, what were you seeing up there from the
Speaker 3: game or the magicians from the game.
Speaker 2: I thought Kentucky just brought it physical, physicality wise, especially
Speaker 2: on the defense side of the ball. I mean, we've
Speaker 2: Mark Stuop's talked about, everyone's talking about it in nauseum.
Speaker 2: But Zion Chouldiers kind of set the tone with those
Speaker 2: early TFLs. I mean he was getting in the backfield
Speaker 2: and making things happen, and it felt like Georgia. They
Speaker 2: were rattled offensively. Carson Beck didn't looked all Who's mark
Speaker 2: point Stoops pointed out, it is going to be a
Speaker 2: top ten draft pick, might be a Highsman Trophy candidate.
Speaker 2: He didn't look comfortable all night. Trevor Etn's a guy
Speaker 2: Kentucky's always played really well against when he was at Florida,
Speaker 2: he didn't really kill them that much. And Kentucky's defense
Speaker 2: just seemed to be on everything Georgia was doing. And
Speaker 2: then offensively, they really just kind of kept going in
Speaker 2: the right direction in the run game, like we've seen
Speaker 2: the first two weeks of the season, and then you know,
Speaker 2: the past game, there wasn't much there, but I thought
Speaker 2: there was. It was at least a little bit better.
Speaker 2: There were some things you can build on. So I
Speaker 2: saw a team that physically met the challenge. They've imposed
Speaker 2: their will as best they can. But I also saw
Speaker 2: some really really good especially on the defensive side of
Speaker 2: the ball. Future NFL players from Georgia's defense makes the
Speaker 2: incredible plays that stopped some things I think might have
Speaker 2: been open for Kentucky.
Speaker 3: Jeff, you said it more than once to Tom on
Speaker 3: the area. He's just so these guys don't beat themselves.
Speaker 13: That's what Kirby sparks team ever since he's gotten there.
Speaker 13: They don't make mistakes, they don't throw interceptions, they don't
Speaker 13: fumble the football, they just don't do anything. And plus
Speaker 13: the speed of their defense was ridiculous. I mean, there
Speaker 13: was a hole that I thought, you know, you could
Speaker 13: have run through and you gain yeah, and you gain
Speaker 13: two yards. I mean, it just closes that fast. They're
Speaker 13: just they're solid. I mean when you watch them, you're like, okay,
Speaker 13: this is that's a team you want to pat on
Speaker 13: yourself after. And they were befuddled. And he knew it
Speaker 13: coming in. He'd been saying it all week if you
Speaker 13: listen to the Telecot Coaches teleconference and things like that,
Speaker 13: he said, look, you know he has I know they
Speaker 13: have a lot of respect for each other. And some
Speaker 13: people say, well, they don't open it up. They kind
Speaker 13: of play it this way. No they don't, No, they don't.
Speaker 13: Georgia wants to be number one and guess what, they're
Speaker 13: not number one today. Texas is number one. They're just
Speaker 13: they're really good and for whatever reason, it's kind of
Speaker 13: like when we talk about Mississippi State Kentucky places. Mississippi
Speaker 13: State doesn't matter if Kentucky's ten and oh they're going ten, Yep,
Speaker 13: it's going to be a three, four, five point game.
Speaker 13: That's just the way it is with them. And it
Speaker 13: just seems that way with Georgia. Last year I think
Speaker 13: was an anomaly. There was some injury, and then what
Speaker 13: happened early in that game with missed passes, and then
Speaker 13: the horrible penalties that Kentucky put on themselves. And again
Speaker 13: Mark said it today, and I'm absolutely amazed by this.
Speaker 13: Seven fumbles the last two weeks. Seven I guess how
Speaker 13: many of the Kentucky's recovering not a is that amazing?
Speaker 2: And he said I meant to go fact check him
Speaker 2: on it, but he's probably right that either in twenty
Speaker 2: thirteen or fourteen, you know, those two tough years he
Speaker 2: had to start a tenure here, they led the country
Speaker 2: in full recovery. So it's not necessarily sat that proves
Speaker 2: you're good or bad. Was the only one that makes
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously when it's seven, it makes you want
Speaker 2: to pull your hair out, But watching the plays, the
Speaker 2: one I think it was the second stript back against
Speaker 2: South Carolina. Kentucky had two guys with their hands on
Speaker 2: the ball and just couldn't grab it. But other than that,
Speaker 2: because bad luck.
Speaker 13: I also thought that and I know you everybody wants
Speaker 13: to talk about this because when I got to work today,
Speaker 13: everybody asked me the interception that wasn't And again, the
Speaker 13: one thing that your buddies with TG shuck.
Speaker 14: You work with him forever.
Speaker 13: And everg Yeah, and he's like, you know, here's the thing.
Speaker 13: There has to be definitive, right, without a shadow of
Speaker 13: a doubt.
Speaker 14: It's kind of like a murder case without a shock.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's written down anywhere. Shadow of
Speaker 3: a doubt. Let's leave it definitive.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it has to show. You got to be able
Speaker 14: to see.
Speaker 13: Okay, yes, it's it's an incomplete pass because they called
Speaker 13: it a touchdown and an interception or fumble recovery.
Speaker 4: Which they're doing now.
Speaker 3: You and Tom point then out all the time, don't
Speaker 3: blow the whistle, check that, let.
Speaker 13: It go, because that's what that is what the replay
Speaker 13: is for. And they do it all the time in
Speaker 13: the NFL too. They'll look at each other and.
Speaker 4: Go maybe too much.
Speaker 13: Yeah, but but again to me, I'm I I've watched
Speaker 13: it a hundred times, and a hundred times I say,
Speaker 13: you gotta let that. But then I go back to
Speaker 13: the Ohio State Clemson National championship. Guy catches the ball,
Speaker 13: takes three steps, turns up field, and he gets stripped
Speaker 13: for the touchdown. They call it a touchdown. The field
Speaker 13: and it's overturned. I guess who.
Speaker 14: S east don't know sec replay officials got that gate.
Speaker 3: Now, Aaron, you had conversations with people, and you sounded
Speaker 3: to me like you had convinced yourself it was an not.
Speaker 2: Necessarily it was either. It's so hard to tell. But
Speaker 2: the ruling that I kept coming back to is.
Speaker 14: Incomplete.
Speaker 2: No I thought I thought he completed the pass. It
Speaker 2: was a catch and dead ball at the spot.
Speaker 4: It was one of three things.
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was a pat and I didn't
Speaker 2: think it was an incomplete.
Speaker 4: Pased on what you said, I hadn't even thought about that.
Speaker 3: It's either incomplete and he's down, incomplete, playover or pick.
Speaker 2: I thought completed pass. I didn't think it was an
Speaker 2: incomplete pass. I thought that was wrong on the officials, right.
Speaker 4: I don't think.
Speaker 2: I just thought it was a catch. I love it,
Speaker 2: but since he's on the ground and it's not like
Speaker 2: the NFL where you have to actually touch him, I
Speaker 2: thought he's down by but he didn't.
Speaker 3: To me, I thought it was enough he had his
Speaker 3: hands under the football, therefore it was a live balla
Speaker 3: I don't think he In other words, if if if
Speaker 3: zion hadn't picked the ball out of the air and
Speaker 3: the ball hit the ground, it would have been incomplete sure,
Speaker 3: which means I don't think it was a.
Speaker 4: Completion at any point.
Speaker 6: Here.
Speaker 13: Here's here's what, in my opinion, kind of takes for it.
Speaker 13: If had he rolled over and held onto it, yes,
Speaker 13: it would have been a catch.
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, no doubt.
Speaker 13: He rolled over, he still had control of it when
Speaker 13: he gets to a probe position on his back and
Speaker 13: the balls on his chest. And I don't know if
Speaker 13: he hit his shoulder pad, but.
Speaker 4: I think it was just momentum.
Speaker 13: If it's a cat, yes, if it's a if he
Speaker 13: bringing it up, underneath it, bringing it up the ball
Speaker 13: never after he rolls over, never touches the ground. So
Speaker 13: I thought it was either it had to be an
Speaker 13: incomplete pass or touchdown. Had he helped on to it,
Speaker 13: it would have been a complete pass.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, I don't think it was an incomplete pass.
Speaker 3: But I'm with Jay, and I know we're all terribly
Speaker 3: parochial here. Maybe you're not not you, Aaron, but those
Speaker 3: of us on the network. I'll admit to that. However,
Speaker 3: I'm also partial to officials. I did it for a while.
Speaker 3: My brother has done it for fifty years. But like
Speaker 3: you're going back to your original point, there has to
Speaker 3: be definitive, definitive, you know, not shadow of a doubt necessarily,
Speaker 3: but just definitive. You know there's not is there enough
Speaker 3: to overturn it? And I just didn't think there was
Speaker 3: so anyhow these things happen, They still had their opportunities.
Speaker 3: Are you used the d word decision That is the
Speaker 3: talk of the town, to talk of the way media. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so uh, And you know it's just so easy now.
Speaker 3: The hindsight's always but as I've always said, hindsight is
Speaker 3: great or second guessing is great. But what was your
Speaker 3: opinion before the ball was snapped when.
Speaker 2: It was fourth and seven?
Speaker 3: You said it as much on the air, Yeah, as
Speaker 3: did I, and we all said later had it been fourth.
Speaker 2: And four, then you know that's where I thought they
Speaker 2: screwed it.
Speaker 3: But backing it up, and then some folks who pointed
Speaker 3: this out that second exactly, yes, when they threw the
Speaker 3: ball on second down and maybe even third down, because
Speaker 3: to me, I kept I kept saying, to these guys,
Speaker 3: play it like four down territory.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is that's where I thought they shot themselves
Speaker 2: in the foot, and I wrote as such on Sunday.
Speaker 2: I just thought, you're running the first of all, you
Speaker 2: take the sack yards out. I off top of the
Speaker 2: sack yard rule, like it should not count.
Speaker 3: Why is it still?
Speaker 2: It's so stupid. The fel all right, I'm done with it.
Speaker 2: But you take out the sackyards twenty six yards. Kentucky
Speaker 2: ran for over two hundred yards on the day without
Speaker 2: the sackyards. They averaged five yards per carry on that
Speaker 2: Georgia front who was banged up too. You gotta you know,
Speaker 2: they got to take that into account. You're that whole
Speaker 2: drive that started at your own sixteen. They threw two passes,
Speaker 2: an incomplete pass and then the defensive hole that extended
Speaker 2: the drive. So you didn't even complete a pass to
Speaker 2: get to the to Georgia side of the field. You
Speaker 2: ran the damn ball. You're second and eight. Run it again.
Speaker 2: It's working every play, and then you move into hopefully
Speaker 2: you get to third and medium, you can run it
Speaker 2: again and try a fourth and short. You could throw
Speaker 2: it at that point, but on second down. I just
Speaker 2: that was mind boggling to me, and bush Handen said
Speaker 2: after the game that wanted to be aggressive, and I
Speaker 2: just I don't agree with that.
Speaker 13: Aaron, tell me if you think this okay, I don't
Speaker 13: mind them throwing there.
Speaker 14: I wish they'd run.
Speaker 13: But if you're going to throw, why not a quick
Speaker 13: guess to the tight end, right, a quick pass to
Speaker 13: the outside that we call an extended run. Yeah, something
Speaker 13: not a rollout turn and try to fool him and
Speaker 13: to the.
Speaker 2: Back knocked down right away.
Speaker 13: Only I thought they only had two guys out on
Speaker 13: the route and Stevens was open, but it was batted
Speaker 13: down the line because he did all that stuff to
Speaker 13: get to that point.
Speaker 4: That wasn't the first past it was batted down.
Speaker 2: And then the third down play look third and eight. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's predictable passed and Mark Steps talked about that at
Speaker 2: nauseum today and that play if you go back and
Speaker 2: watch it. Man to Fred Ferrier was running wide open,
Speaker 2: maybe a touchdown, but.
Speaker 14: Well that's when he's coming across.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pass protection doesn't hold up. Jalen Walker, who was
Speaker 2: just in in Brock vand Grill all game, came around
Speaker 2: the edge and forced a bat throw.
Speaker 3: Well, many ways this game could have turned out, but
Speaker 3: it did show us. I think what can be different
Speaker 3: from what we all thought last week. We'll talk about
Speaker 3: that when we come back. We're here in the studio

Speaker 3: It is the Big bruinsider Dick Gabriel Ire and Gershwan
Speaker 3: Jeff Pecora in the studio with us literally driving past
Speaker 3: the radio station and called me and said, what time
Speaker 3: you guys actually going the air? So here he is
Speaker 3: and we're talking, of course about Kentucky Georgia.
Speaker 4: Last week.
Speaker 3: They didn't want to keep looking back at South Carolina.
Speaker 3: But I think what this game did was well change
Speaker 3: my mind because when I I said eight wins this year,
Speaker 3: then after that South Carolina game.
Speaker 4: I didn't go to well, they may not win another game,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I'm thinking, man, if they can
Speaker 3: win three with you know, but now I got to adjust.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this, what this wind does is our win.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say that this moral victory, but it is
Speaker 2: a moral victory. But uh whatever, uh this look, you
Speaker 2: got to take care of business this weekend. The back
Speaker 2: is kicked butt, so you can't you can't overlook Ohio,
Speaker 2: but you got to take care of business. Kind of
Speaker 2: bring the same attitude to Old Miss. I actually think
Speaker 2: Old Miss matches up better with Kentucky than Georgia does
Speaker 2: in a way with their tempo offense, with their defensive
Speaker 2: line that just blitzes the crap out of teams. I
Speaker 2: think that Old Miss kind of matches up better. So
Speaker 2: say you're two and three, that the next three games
Speaker 2: are all SEC games that frankly you should win. And
Speaker 2: that's Vandy who just lost the Georgia State after their
Speaker 2: nice start, uh, Florida who's a disaster, and Auburn who
Speaker 2: lost to cal is starting a true freshman night quarterback down.
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta that that's where the season will
Speaker 2: come down to.
Speaker 3: Those three games, in my opinion, and you gotta hope
Speaker 3: that Florida doesn't get it together before.
Speaker 2: I think I better hold Billy Nape. You're still the
Speaker 2: head coach.
Speaker 3: When you're when you're lining up though, even if he's
Speaker 3: gone the same I'm.
Speaker 2: Saying, if he's gone same players, yes, but there's always
Speaker 2: that spark that seemed to bring and I don't think
Speaker 2: you want to deal with that.
Speaker 3: No, No, how much, mister Bicoro, Did it change your
Speaker 3: outlook on the season.
Speaker 13: I think that we thought that if they could get
Speaker 13: to oh Miss at two and two or three and one,
Speaker 13: that that in my thinking, I thought they would be
Speaker 13: I thought they'd beat three and one quite exankly. I
Speaker 13: thought they beat South Carolina.
Speaker 4: But it's how they lost.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 13: Watched South Carolina now, l s U. I don't think
Speaker 13: is as good as every he thinks there either, and
Speaker 13: South Carolina's.
Speaker 2: Just it just I couldn't stop a noseby in the second.
Speaker 14: No, I mean they're just not that good.
Speaker 13: No, They've got a they've got three really good players
Speaker 13: on defense, and then their offense is rocket.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was talking one of my guy, Yeah, one of
Speaker 2: my friends covered South Carolina. We're talking in the press
Speaker 2: box before that game, and he comes up to me.
Speaker 2: He's like, all right, how much is Kentucky winning this game?
Speaker 9: By?
Speaker 2: Today?
Speaker 13: It blew everyone and and and for whatever reason, Kentucky
Speaker 13: can't beat him. Now three years in a row of
Speaker 13: three games that they could have should have wol you know,
Speaker 13: won and they didn't. So I don't think it changes
Speaker 13: what I'm thinking, but I agree with you Aaron. I
Speaker 13: think that the Old Miss game is a huge game.
Speaker 13: Old Miss is good, they're good, and they got a
Speaker 13: great quarterback. If they can play like they did against Georgia,
Speaker 13: then I think, okay, the rest of the season is
Speaker 13: going to be all right. But if they go in
Speaker 13: there and lay an egg like they have you know before,
Speaker 13: in big games like that, then I think that they're
Speaker 13: in big trouble because this team is not in Mark
Speaker 13: set it again today. This is not a team built
Speaker 13: on going back there and throwing for three hundred and
Speaker 13: fifty yards and four touchdowns to the year. Even though
Speaker 13: you've got great receivers, they're just that's not their build now,
Speaker 13: the pass protection, the way it is.
Speaker 4: Well, here we are talking about Ole Miss, and we've
Speaker 4: overlooked Ohio. Well, mister former player.
Speaker 14: You know I used to do Ohio games.
Speaker 4: That's right, you did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's the the Bobcats and they've got a tremendous
Speaker 3: I've been on that campus. It's awesome, wonderful. It's a
Speaker 3: danger I think I think it's it's dangerous.
Speaker 13: Yes, Frank Solich when he come in and took over,
Speaker 13: he's been there a while. Yeah, well he's he left
Speaker 13: two years ago. But I mean when he when he
Speaker 13: took over for Groby, he went to Wake Forest and
Speaker 13: turned their programmer. Yeah, left Nebraska, Yep. It just it
Speaker 13: really took off. And they they won ten games, I
Speaker 13: think two years in a row. They've been to Bowl games.
Speaker 13: Their win They're a really good MAC team. This is
Speaker 13: going to be a much harder game than I think
Speaker 13: a lot of people thought.
Speaker 14: And you just look at what the MAC does. Weeke
Speaker 14: in and wok out.
Speaker 13: I mean, they've got the top end of the MAC.
Speaker 13: The top three schools are really good. They really are.
Speaker 13: Then after that I think it falls off.
Speaker 3: But plus I think Mac team, I've always said it
Speaker 3: their top twenty two. A lot of those kids can
Speaker 3: play in the Power Conferences.
Speaker 2: They're running back. Yeah, I was about to say, and
Speaker 2: I think Jeff you brought it up to Stoops in
Speaker 2: the press conference today. They're running back who's a transfer
Speaker 2: from Northwest.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, two hundred two yards Week one against Syracuse, who
Speaker 2: was border. They're having a great year under Georgia dB
Speaker 2: coaches now their head coach.
Speaker 4: To me, the biggest difference is depth.
Speaker 2: They don't have it. That's that's exactly right. But their
Speaker 2: starters are solid, and they, like Jeff said, they won
Speaker 2: ten games. The last two.
Speaker 3: Teams have come in here and one sure MAC teams
Speaker 3: have come in here and given Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Nor Illinois two years ago yep.
Speaker 3: And the year after you left Bowling Green came in
Speaker 3: here and beat Kentucky.
Speaker 13: Well, I think the one thing you have to remember
Speaker 13: or not remember, but the one thing you need to
Speaker 13: know about a MAC team is this. They get raided
Speaker 13: every year by pitt West, Virginia, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State,
Speaker 13: all those big schools from the power conferences look at
Speaker 13: them and see a nice wide receiver farm system. They
Speaker 13: see a left tackle named Marcus Cox and that you
Speaker 13: go in, you offer money, and they come to come
Speaker 13: play for you. I thought, the greatest quote I've ever
Speaker 13: heard from a coach ever, other than John McKay say he.
Speaker 14: Was for the execution of his team, was what.
Speaker 2: Frank Martin Chuck Martin Miami.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I said, Frank, which was the basketball coach where
Speaker 13: he said that, Uh, it was the kicker day before
Speaker 13: their first game. They said, well, you know you're having
Speaker 13: to break in a new kicker. You lost, you know,
Speaker 13: you lost your kicker. You know Joe Smith, like she goes, Oh,
Speaker 13: we didn't lose him. I know exactly where he is helm.
Speaker 4: From US.
Speaker 14: I know where he is. We didn't lose him.
Speaker 2: Oh it was it was awesome, It was awesome. It
Speaker 2: was awesome.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, as soon as the portal came around.
Speaker 3: And what did Lane Kiffin say, yeah, legalized cheating.
Speaker 13: Yes, well, look, and who was the one that's benefited
Speaker 13: more than any other Coachlane Kiffin?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh, they dominated.
Speaker 3: And they could also say coach prime. You could also
Speaker 3: say although making an advantage wildly more successful.
Speaker 4: And you know, well is Jeff Brohm.
Speaker 14: Yeah, Oh Louisville. Louisville's taking great advantage of Well, when.
Speaker 2: We preview will Miss next week, we're gonna be like,
Speaker 2: oh this guy's oh transfer transfer transfer, every literally the
Speaker 2: whole team is transfers.
Speaker 14: But Dick, you're from Louisville.
Speaker 13: And here's here's the big problem and what I'm the
Speaker 13: most afraid of for the University of Kentucky program other
Speaker 13: than Joe Kraft.
Speaker 14: Here, what is another.
Speaker 13: Multime multi multi million dollar business based in Kentucky, I
Speaker 13: mean in Lexington.
Speaker 14: They're all Louisville. Yeah, I mean there's something.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, they're you know, if if, if they can
Speaker 13: tap into that, they've got to.
Speaker 3: But just because I remember, just because they're in Louisville
Speaker 3: doesn't mean they're devoted to.
Speaker 14: No, you're you're exactly right, you're exactly Louisville.
Speaker 3: The city is still somewhat sure now it used to
Speaker 3: be eighty percent to twenty UK. Yeah that's changed through
Speaker 3: the years, No, it has, but still yeah, no, you're right,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there.
Speaker 13: Has to be something done sometime soon. For the simple
Speaker 13: fact that teams like Oklahoma State, teams like Texas A
Speaker 13: and m they have teams like Miami. Miami has lost
Speaker 13: so much money they don't know what to do with
Speaker 13: it down there. That's why they're top five team of
Speaker 13: the country. They have bought them.
Speaker 2: They bought a three quarterback.
Speaker 13: Yes, yes, and it's so where does that end? I mean,
Speaker 13: I know what people tell me, Well, Joe Kraft could
Speaker 13: go buy a ten million dollar ham, he could give
Speaker 13: to it. I said, that goes to charity, and it's
Speaker 13: you know, it's totally different.
Speaker 3: Joe Kraft and his bride have poured a lot already
Speaker 3: into not just football and basketball, and.
Speaker 2: Especially now that Mark Pope is here in Cal's gone. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, uh well it's Kentucky and Ohio coming in.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: I hate to bring this up. I talked about Mac
Speaker 3: teams coming in, but probably it's a it's a toss up.
Speaker 3: The LSU game is bad in the in the Rich
Speaker 3: Brooks era, but it kind of spawned the turnaround two
Speaker 3: weeks later.
Speaker 4: But that Ohio you lost.
Speaker 2: And it was four, wouldn't I was.
Speaker 3: On a homecoming night with the team wearing throwback jerseys
Speaker 3: that we all thought was really cool.
Speaker 4: They were really cool. Plus the Ohio you banned, which
Speaker 4: is nuts, came.
Speaker 3: Down, put on a hell of a show and Kentucky
Speaker 3: stunk up the joint and lost that homecoming game.
Speaker 2: Only four and two against the Bobcats.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So the Mac has come in and and ruined the evening.
Speaker 3: They got to make sure that doesn't happen again. We'll
Speaker 3: talk more Kentucky football on.

Speaker 4: Bill Robinson is.
Speaker 3: Pushing all the buttons tonight and here in the studio
Speaker 3: with us is Jeff Biicour. Usually he's on the celebrity
Speaker 3: hot line, and you know, I was remiss at the
Speaker 3: top of the brocket. I wanted to dive in to
Speaker 3: the Georgia game and look ahead to a I although
Speaker 3: we've already skipped past them, we need to double back
Speaker 3: and talk more about that game. But I skipped right
Speaker 3: over the NFL stuff. Jeff, Your Bengals played well, lost
Speaker 3: in the last and if not for a pass interference call,
Speaker 3: there was.
Speaker 4: A good call. But I don't think it didn't have.
Speaker 2: To happen, didn't have to live.
Speaker 3: I felt like that pass was going to be incomplete,
Speaker 3: or if he had timed it a little better, he
Speaker 3: could have broken it up.
Speaker 14: You agree, Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 13: It shouldn't have come down to that. No, it really
Speaker 13: shouldn't have. It's just did you see there was something
Speaker 13: and you'll love this. It was about the you know,
Speaker 13: the Dallas Cowboys are the most beloved but also the
Speaker 13: most hated team in the NFL, not anymore. Do you
Speaker 13: know who it is?
Speaker 2: The Patrick Mahomess.
Speaker 14: Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 4: Based on what.
Speaker 13: They do, these polls that we get at the TV stations,
Speaker 13: all these you know, thousands and thousands of you know,
Speaker 13: it's like that the most expensive NFL ticket price wise
Speaker 13: is and they list them one to thirty, you know,
Speaker 13: so you have, you know, everyone thirty two.
Speaker 4: They win too much.
Speaker 13: Well, I just think that, I really think that when
Speaker 13: you watch a game. Even I've got no skin, I
Speaker 13: could care less. Kansas City down there, Okay, I liked
Speaker 13: them when Lynn Dawson was taking London lung darts and
Speaker 13: drinking fantas on the sidelines, that's something.
Speaker 14: But you know, I could care less.
Speaker 13: But when you watch them, you're like, okay, how is
Speaker 13: that not a penalty? You know, on Kansas City? And
Speaker 13: then the same thing happens on the other one, and
Speaker 13: it's a nalty on the other team. And it's like.
Speaker 14: It's like Georgia.
Speaker 13: Every call, every fifty to fifty call on the Kentucky
Speaker 13: Georgia game. No, I'm just saying the Kentucky Georgia game,
Speaker 13: everything that could have happened. I'm not just calls, but
Speaker 13: every fifty to fifty players, yeah, goes to them, and
Speaker 13: you're like, gosh, do they.
Speaker 14: Get everything because they're so good. It's just like the Steelers.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, you played on a winless
Speaker 3: Kentucky team. You played on a Kentucky team that won
Speaker 3: nine games, didn't you get more calls as a nine
Speaker 3: win team?
Speaker 14: You probably is going to be looked at differently.
Speaker 4: Yes, but in here's why you are a better team.
Speaker 14: No, you're better I mean I team. I'm not taking that.
Speaker 3: My point is if you have better athletes, they will
Speaker 3: execute better, they will perform better, and therefore they won't
Speaker 3: make the mistakes that lead to penalties. That's my always
Speaker 3: been my content. You know, laden ball games, you know,
Speaker 3: athletes get tired, sure, and they end up grabbing instead
Speaker 3: of blocking and that kind of thing.
Speaker 13: But I'm talking about just even when you watch the game,
Speaker 13: like Mark Stoop said, we had there's been seven balls
Speaker 13: on the ground.
Speaker 14: How do we not get any of them? And one
Speaker 14: of them there's two of your guys well, and then one
Speaker 14: of theirs comes.
Speaker 3: You lost your mind last year down at Athens when
Speaker 3: that ball was laying there on the ground all by itself.
Speaker 13: Because I'm looking at their officials, I'm like, nobody's blown
Speaker 13: the whistle and.
Speaker 14: Taught to play.
Speaker 4: He kept going, that's a live ball.
Speaker 14: You're taught to play.
Speaker 13: Until you hear the whistle and and our guy, uh,
Speaker 13: I can't think of his name, the linebacker for Kentucky's
Speaker 13: just standing.
Speaker 14: I'm like pick it up, picking up and running.
Speaker 3: It was either d Jack or Trevin Trevin Waller.
Speaker 4: You should have seen.
Speaker 14: You're in the booth.
Speaker 3: You're in you're in a press box that you don't
Speaker 3: hear us. But those of you who do listen to
Speaker 3: our radio broadcast, you hear mister bricor or revert to
Speaker 3: his football when there's a ball on the ground.
Speaker 14: He goes, It's just a good thing. They can't hear
Speaker 14: some commercials.
Speaker 2: That's true, all right.
Speaker 3: So you're New York Giants, Oh god, he came the
Speaker 3: first only only because you made history, the first NFL
Speaker 3: team to score three touchdowns, not give up any touchdowns
Speaker 3: and loose yep, all because that.
Speaker 4: Is Giants as it gets.
Speaker 2: Yes, the reason it was malpracticed that they were in
Speaker 2: that spot in the first place. Their kicker, Graham can
Speaker 2: know the Giants kicker injured. On Saturday, when you have
Speaker 2: time to make a practice squad elevation and bring another
Speaker 2: kicker up, the Giants decide not to bring an extra
Speaker 2: kicker up. He's struggling to kick in warm ups and
Speaker 2: then first play of the game Giants. The kick return
Speaker 2: for Washington, goes for a touchdown, gets hold back for
Speaker 2: a Holdo pulls his hammy, chasing him down. Nice out
Speaker 2: for the rest of the game. So the Giants scored
Speaker 2: three touchdowns, like you said, first one, they have the
Speaker 2: punter try an extra point, missus terribly, so they're scared off.
Speaker 14: So Chado Joe Sinko kicked that extra point.
Speaker 2: Not the punter. He couldn't do it. So then they
Speaker 2: go for two, don't get it. Then they go two
Speaker 2: again after Wandell Robinson former Cat, scores a touchdown and
Speaker 2: drop not by Wandelle Zarious and defense. Seven drives for
Speaker 2: the Commanders. Seven field goals. No, this was the field
Speaker 2: goal game. Yeah, so just all I watched this weekend
Speaker 2: between the team I cover and team I love is
Speaker 2: field goals.
Speaker 3: So you never saw the team you cover the team
Speaker 3: you follow score touchdown even thought about all.
Speaker 2: The times scored three touchdowns.
Speaker 4: I watched the other team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I watched Kentucky lose because they didn't they
Speaker 2: had two little field goals, and then I watched one
Speaker 2: win because they had that.
Speaker 4: My Packers, who were home dogs in Lamba, the Sacred Turf,
Speaker 4: the Sacred.
Speaker 3: Howard Droughts, underdogs. They won, and Malik Willis not Sean Clifford,
Speaker 3: who played ahead of Will Levis at Penn State. They
Speaker 3: brought somebody in. They traded for milk because they're two
Speaker 3: after their camp.
Speaker 4: Their two backup qbs weren't any.
Speaker 3: Good, so they brought in Malik Willis, who was given
Speaker 3: every opportunity to win the Titans job and couldn't do it.
Speaker 3: So anyhow, we won, so that even stings up. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: Will Levis makes another bonehead plays.
Speaker 4: He's looking so.
Speaker 2: Good at times he's yeah, you know what I.
Speaker 3: Think it is getting back to your chiefs. I think
Speaker 3: he sees Mahomes making incredible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, and that's how he was here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well you know here you can say, uh.
Speaker 2: We two I'm talking more than twenty one. Though, when
Speaker 2: you had a great offensive line, you had a star receiver,
Speaker 2: and you had a star running back in there were
Speaker 2: still thirteen picks in there.
Speaker 4: Exactly.
Speaker 3: So all right, getting back to the wildcast, they've got
Speaker 3: Ohio coming in, and again, a dangerous game could be
Speaker 3: a trap game, there's no question about that. But you
Speaker 3: were in the room when I interviewed Zion Childress postgame. Uh,
Speaker 3: and I think he spoke to you guys too, Aaron
Speaker 3: about he is a leader, what he had to do
Speaker 3: to keep He said, to keep my guys from dwelling
Speaker 3: on the South Carolina game. It's going to take a
Speaker 3: different kind of leadership this week, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 14: Because he it takes a play.
Speaker 13: Look, and we always talk about false bravado, you know
Speaker 13: that a lot of players have because you can blow
Speaker 13: your chest out and act like you're tough and stuff.
Speaker 13: But this is a game where the seniors, the upper
Speaker 13: classmen have to really keep everyone engaged because it's not Georgia.
Speaker 13: This isn't the number one team in the country. This
Speaker 13: is a MAC team. Yeah, okay, Well show them what
Speaker 13: Northern Illinois did it, Notre Dame, show them, you know,
Speaker 13: all these games at that.
Speaker 4: And also show them what South Carolina did, do you guys?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 13: Well, and what I was going to get when you right,
Speaker 13: what I was going to get at is this Tennessee.
Speaker 13: They just bludgeon people, Right, That's the mentality you have
Speaker 13: to have. You can't go up and down with how
Speaker 13: good the team is. When you and Stoops kind of
Speaker 13: talks about this. If you read between the lines, he's saying,
Speaker 13: we have to become that mentality that we go out
Speaker 13: there and not just say we're Alabama, we're gonna win,
Speaker 13: but go out there and beat somebody. When was the
Speaker 13: last time Kentucky beat somebody sixty to seven and you
Speaker 13: could put the backups in?
Speaker 14: Never happened?
Speaker 13: While Yeah, remember we talked all last year or the
Speaker 13: year before about oh wait, we're finally gonna get to
Speaker 13: see bo Allen. We're finally gonna get to see this guy.
Speaker 13: We're finally getting and it's and it's fourteen to seven
Speaker 13: at halftime.
Speaker 14: You're not gonna get to see that.
Speaker 3: I don't think we would have seen that in all
Speaker 3: fairness in the season opener.
Speaker 14: Yes, I think possibly, you know.
Speaker 2: Also, speaking of Tennessee, did you see what they did
Speaker 2: up thirty and nothing? They tried a non sides kick. No,
Speaker 2: I don't know if they got it. I was just
Speaker 2: told about that and then I didn't go why, But
Speaker 2: I did read that up thirty they tried in on sides.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that? Mister? I hate Orange that.
Speaker 14: They deserve whatever they get from.
Speaker 4: Whoever football karma.
Speaker 2: They're rolling.
Speaker 4: Man, I had not heard.
Speaker 13: There's the reason why Bob Stoops got rid of him
Speaker 13: in Oklahoma.
Speaker 2: And guess who they played this weekend? Oklahoma and Norma
Speaker 2: in Norman with college game they're going to town.
Speaker 4: All right, let's get back to Kentucky, Ohio.
Speaker 3: What do we need to see as media people, as fans,
Speaker 3: as coaches, anybody with any skin in this game from
Speaker 3: Rock vandergrid this week and by extension, the offensive.
Speaker 2: Line need to be able to operate a drop back
Speaker 2: passing game. I get it's not their strength on a
Speaker 2: predictable down. On a predictable down, they just have to
Speaker 2: they have to get confidence in it so that they
Speaker 2: can have that in their toolbox the rest of SEC play.
Speaker 2: I think it would be really concerning if they can't
Speaker 2: hold again. Ohio is not a team to overlook, but
Speaker 2: you gotta it's inferior talent to what you have in
Speaker 2: inferior depth. I mean, you gotta be able to hold
Speaker 2: up in pass protection and make things happen through the air.
Speaker 2: I mean I'd be if Brock Vandergriff plays the vast
Speaker 2: majority of the game going into the fourth quarter, I'd
Speaker 2: be pretty upset. If he doesn't at least have two
Speaker 2: hundred and forty passing yards in this game.
Speaker 13: What has happened to the passing game over the last
Speaker 13: two and a half almost three year really since will
Speaker 13: Levis's first year here?
Speaker 3: I can answer that the line that block for Will
Speaker 3: Levis left for the NFL either either full time jobs
Speaker 3: or at least slots in camp. And they had to
Speaker 3: roll in guys who have been waiting for their chance
Speaker 3: to play, and they weren't ready to go.
Speaker 2: And in fairness, last year, the pass protection was pretty good,
Speaker 2: well second least sex giving up in the SEC. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they just had a bad quarterback for most of
Speaker 2: the year. And drop drop, drop drop from the receiver.
Speaker 14: I wonder if you if you agree with me here.
Speaker 14: It seems to me that when people look.
Speaker 13: At the transfer portal, they're trying to get ye, They're
Speaker 13: trying to get a Wandell, They're trying to get a
Speaker 13: chip train them, they're trying to get these great players.
Speaker 14: On the outside. Why not and stuff?
Speaker 13: Because I can find a wide receiver, I can find
Speaker 13: a running back. You can't find lineman. If I'm a head,
Speaker 13: if I'm a coach in college football, I am going,
Speaker 13: I would say, what is my budget? Five million dollars?
Speaker 13: Spend three million of it on an offensive line.
Speaker 3: Somebody called the Coaches Show tonight and asked about putting
Speaker 3: together a separate NIL account, just pro linement.
Speaker 2: And he mentioned that another team in the SEC did
Speaker 2: that and said that, and he said it was a
Speaker 2: new coach in the SEC. And I found who it was,
Speaker 2: and you're not going to be surprised to hear it
Speaker 2: was Texas A and m.
Speaker 3: Every lineman who comes there, it makes me think of.
Speaker 14: Start negotiations, you know.
Speaker 13: So you know, you guys know that I do women's
Speaker 13: a lot of women's basketball. So I got to do
Speaker 13: a South Carolina game and interview Dawn. And the biggest
Speaker 13: thing she said that, I said, we turned the microphones off,
Speaker 13: and after we do, we get a couple a couple
Speaker 13: of bites from her that we use in the broadcast.
Speaker 13: And I said, don do you mind if I asked
Speaker 13: you about NL and the transfer portal? She goes, sure.
Speaker 13: I said, you don't have any transfers. She goes, Jeff,
Speaker 13: I don't need them. She goes, We're like CA. She goes,
Speaker 13: I'm like cow, I got people knocking on my door.
Speaker 13: I get calls every day from girls who are all Americans.
Speaker 14: But she goes, who am I going to sit?
Speaker 13: I got the two time player of the year, right,
Speaker 13: she had Boston and all these players and stuff. I said, okay,
Speaker 13: she goes, she goes. I said, what about NL. She goes, Oh, well,
Speaker 13: she goes. Here's what we do. Remember this is women's basketball, yep,
Speaker 13: she is. When a girl signs with South Carolina, she
Speaker 13: gets thirty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Like a signing bonus.
Speaker 13: No, no, they they come, they get thirty five thousand.
Speaker 14: So she goes.
Speaker 13: So everybody starts out at the same level, and then
Speaker 13: she goes, Then you go eat, meaning.
Speaker 14: I think it was Donna Boston. Aliah is a tea.
Speaker 13: You know, she's obviously gonna make a lot more because
Speaker 13: she's getting all this. But she goes, you get what
Speaker 13: you deserve.
Speaker 14: You come here and.
Speaker 13: Sit on the bench and you're the last player, then
Speaker 13: that's all you're getting. But through competition and you get better,
Speaker 13: that's what you're getting get. So I can believe it.
Speaker 13: But to me, if I'm a football coach, I am
Speaker 13: doing everything in my capability to bring in offensive and
Speaker 13: defensive lineman.
Speaker 14: Why is that, Dick, Because that's what Mark Stoops.
Speaker 13: Why did Mark Stoops get the job here when he
Speaker 13: went in front of.
Speaker 3: Barnhart because he said the way to build the program
Speaker 3: is inside out.
Speaker 14: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And every coach I think in theory will tell
Speaker 3: you that. But do they actually follow through? Uh in
Speaker 3: terms of their recruiting. But I it's clear that he
Speaker 3: and I Vince Barrow had But you go back. I
Speaker 3: was thinking about this the other day and we've talked
Speaker 3: about it a lot. You go back and think about
Speaker 3: that line. Gosh, six seven years ago or more, when
Speaker 3: they move Bunchie Stallings to guard and started Drake Katt
Speaker 3: it right, and then they folded in Luke Fortner and
Speaker 3: they had all the other guys. That was the birth
Speaker 3: of the Big Blue line. Well, all right, we'll take
Speaker 3: a break, come back and talk more Kentucky football. Right here,
Speaker 3: it's the state wide BBI.

Speaker 3: Big Blue Insider Border to Border, Dick Gabriel, Aaron Gershawan,
Speaker 3: jeffcour is in the studio with us tonight. Hilly Rutledge
Speaker 3: has the night off and good for him outswinging the
Speaker 3: clubs somewhat well, not at the moment, but of course
Speaker 3: we've been.
Speaker 4: Going back and forth on Kentucky football.
Speaker 3: Tom Leach, the voice of the Wildcats, was listening to
Speaker 3: our conversation about whether what is a catch basically, and
Speaker 3: as he chimed in, and I wasn't entirely sure how
Speaker 3: much of this is college, how much of this is
Speaker 3: the NFL. But he said a catches possession plus a
Speaker 3: football move even in college. And the second part the
Speaker 3: football move is when the ball came out.
Speaker 4: That's the way I saw it.
Speaker 3: So anyway, we talked about that, or if you're just
Speaker 3: joining us, we all agree that. Well, Aaron's still not
Speaker 3: sure it should have been a pick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting from Tom thought.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe it should have been simply for the definitive.
Speaker 14: That I agree with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was not enough to either way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, when that play was happening, and
Speaker 3: this is just a general comment for that game, I thought,
Speaker 3: that's the kind of play that happens in a game
Speaker 3: that you steal from somebody, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: A block punt or or or a freak.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's something like.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 14: In Northern Illinois blocked two field goals in Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: The last at the end, that was the second one.
Speaker 2: Man, they got some luck. You gotta have some luck.
Speaker 3: Speaking of South Carolina blocked another kick against the.
Speaker 14: L s U.
Speaker 4: I don't know what it is about the Beamer family.
Speaker 2: They just know special teams, man, they do.
Speaker 3: But you know that Kentucky s had some coaches here
Speaker 3: and I'm not seeing the guy here doesn't Kentucky's blocked
Speaker 3: some kicks in it.
Speaker 13: To day, I'd still say, what at a school like that,
Speaker 13: they want you get players who want to play on
Speaker 13: special teams. When when a coach starts trying to put
Speaker 13: guys on special teams, there's a lot of guys that
Speaker 13: kind of keep going down the line as hiding behind
Speaker 13: the guy and starts talking to somebody that kind of
Speaker 13: try to slide the other way.
Speaker 22: You know.
Speaker 14: It's a one two type of thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 13: And and a guy like a guy like Benny Snell
Speaker 13: for instance, he's not in the NFL, but in my opinion,
Speaker 13: if he would have.
Speaker 2: He did play special really hard team.
Speaker 14: I understand that that's what got him his contract. What
Speaker 14: I'm saying is that's what puts you in the league.
Speaker 3: The best example Alfonso Smith, who at one point was
Speaker 3: fourth on the depth chart here as a tailback. Well
Speaker 3: what did he do here? He was a gunner because
Speaker 3: he was the fastest back on the team. We think
Speaker 3: maybe Derek Locke maybe him, but also ran the ball,
Speaker 3: caught the ball, scored touchdowns, but that caught the eye
Speaker 3: of the Cardinals and he spent a few years in
Speaker 3: the NFL because he also played, especially Benny Snell's first
Speaker 3: game as a Wildcat, the first stut of his was
Speaker 3: an assisted tackle on a kickoff.
Speaker 4: He was a special teams guy.
Speaker 2: Here, So you're right, it's a want to, no doubt.
Speaker 3: So anyhow, thanks Tom for chiming in on that. We
Speaker 3: talked about Brock Vandergriff and we talked a little bit
Speaker 3: about the O line. There were one or two at
Speaker 3: least one drop still in that game, and you played
Speaker 3: wide receiver. That's when you're a veteran. That's clearly focus,
Speaker 3: I know. And they had to be dialed in on it.
Speaker 3: They were dialed in.
Speaker 13: While it's two of your you know, these are starters too,
Speaker 13: sure handed receivers. Barry undropped that one that was in
Speaker 13: his hands, got to catch that, yeah, and Maclin saw,
Speaker 13: you know, he saw that he was going to get
Speaker 13: his head taken off. And and you know, with all
Speaker 13: the protection they put on receivers and stuff. And here's
Speaker 13: what my whole thing was. When you caught a ball
Speaker 13: and brought it into your body, that cushions the blow
Speaker 13: when you miss it and there's nothing there to cushion it.
Speaker 13: That's when it hurts, you know, I just catch the ball.
Speaker 13: I mean, I don't know what else to say. You've
Speaker 13: got you look it in. You see it every week.
Speaker 13: Almost every game has a guy. A perfect example of
Speaker 13: the Bengals game, they had the tight end, had a
Speaker 13: deep corner pattern, had a step on the guy hitting
Speaker 13: right in his hands and as it hit his hands,
Speaker 13: you see his head turning up field. You've got to
Speaker 13: watch it in.
Speaker 3: You know, you cannot afford a mistake like that in
Speaker 3: this Ohio game.
Speaker 4: Same deal. You got to make all the plays.
Speaker 2: Got to make all the plays. You just have to.
Speaker 2: And they need to, Like I said, it's huge to
Speaker 2: have a big game in the passing offense. I just
Speaker 2: think and Jeff is talking about not having backups and
Speaker 2: like they need a laugh for Yeah, they really do.
Speaker 2: They need to have one of those games where it's
Speaker 2: just a feel good win, you dominate, and I think
Speaker 2: they were on their way to doing that week one
Speaker 2: as well, but I think they need to recapture that.
Speaker 3: It's interesting you say that because part of our pregame
Speaker 3: discussion on the Georgia game began with Jeremy Jarman and
Speaker 3: Logan Stenberg answering a question that Christy put to them
Speaker 3: about coming back off the South Carolina game and now
Speaker 3: instead of playing in Ohio playing Georgia, and I put
Speaker 3: the same question to Jeff, and all three of these
Speaker 3: former players are the same response because I anticipated them
Speaker 3: saying what you said, would have been good to have
Speaker 3: a team where we could just reset ourselves and get
Speaker 3: some confidence back.
Speaker 4: But all three of you guys said.
Speaker 13: What said, No, you want to jump right back in
Speaker 13: against the best of the best to prove that that
Speaker 13: was I want to say a fluke, but to really belong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was with that after that game. But
Speaker 2: I'm saying now that.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I did it. I get it, you know.
Speaker 13: But for instance, if had you played Ohio last week
Speaker 13: instead of Georgia and one twenty to seven, would people
Speaker 13: be happy?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 14: Exactly, So that's just it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, people still aren't happy Blue right.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: It's interesting because uh, because of the Mark Stoops knows.
Speaker 3: I can't see him scrolling through his phone looking to
Speaker 3: see what people said about that.
Speaker 2: Calling himself mister conservative today. Where's he getting that exactly?
Speaker 3: You know, he knows and I guess, folks, maybe he
Speaker 3: turned to Susan Lax or whoever.
Speaker 4: I said, all right, what are we saying?
Speaker 3: But you know what, rich Brooks used to keep track
Speaker 3: of what because he felt like it was important to
Speaker 3: know what the fans were saying and thinking and feeling.
Speaker 4: And I think that's smart.
Speaker 2: There's no question.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, Jeffrey, good to see you here in
Speaker 4: the studio.
Speaker 14: Do you like it not this beautiful place in here?
Speaker 2: Get it?
Speaker 13: We should go across the street, get some bowl and
