Bleav in Kentucky

We start off with football. Vinny and Aaron talk about the tall task Kentucky has in Texas. How crazy will the offseason/month of December be for Kentucky football? Big Dog's offer from an opponent UK played earlier in the year. How big will the rebuild be? Does Mark Stoops really want to deal with it?

There were no signs of taking the foot off the gas for Kentucky basketball. They jumped on Lipscomb right off the bat. They look to do the same with Jackson State as tougher games and conference play are right around the corner.

Aaron said the fan base needed it. Catlanta was back to being the Catlanta that we had grown accustomed to over the years. The Cats showed they could get gritty and do what they needed to do to get a win when the offense wasn't flowing effortlessly. Now they can continue to explore lineup combinations against some lesser opponents as they roll on toward Clemson and Gonzaga.

Will Mark Stoops be back? How much will Cutter Boley play? So much uncertainty with football right now.

There was a lot to like in the Cats 103-62 win over Wright State. Vinny and Aaron started off positive with basketball first. Koby Brea was driving to the hole. Otegah Oweh was spotting up for three. Gotta love the versatility. On the football side, the Cats had chances to steal one in Knoxville but again, offensive struggles and mistakes didn't let that happen.

It's two exhibition games against lesser competition but Jaxson Robinson is already in midseason form (00:03:00). His familiarity with Mark Pope's system is going to be invaluable this season. Looking forward to Wright State.

The low, Kentucky football continues to struggle. (00:26:35) Up next, a trip to Knoxville to face Tennessee in Neyland Stadium. We know the history and how that generally goes. Lots of things need to be fixed with this program going forward.

We end it with a little World Series talk.

Big Blue Madness was the good madness from the weekend. There was a lot of cool stuff. Rick's return to Rupp among them. The next day's 20-13 loss to Vandy was the other type of madness. We've seen this movie too many times. Then there was the "tie your shoes" comment from Mark Stoops. We talk about all of it.

Chris Thornton (Director of the Americas) and Benedikt von Dohnanyl (Director of Strategy) for ASB GlassFloor joined Vinny and Aaron to talk about the LED video court that will be on display in Rupp Arena for Big Blue Madness. (00:02:25) They explained how the court works for the player, coach and fan experience. Really interesting stuff.

Ole Miss isn't quite sure of what they have because their non conference schedule wasn't too strong. Is this an SEC Championship Game or bust season for the Rebels? Can Kentucky protect BVG in the passing game? These are the questions that Vinny and Aaron talked about with Brad Logan of Bleav In Ole Miss.

A tale of two games. Kentucky's performance against Georgia was nice to see. It makes the South Carolina game that much more frustrating but it is what it is. Alex Raynor is that dude. (00:08:00) Is Chip Trayanum more injured than we think? (00:26:00) What is the ceiling for the O-line? (00:29:00)
