Pope vs Kelsey, round 1. Lamont Butler came back from injury in sniper mode. (00:03:08) He was locked in from three-point range. He kept Kentucky in control of the game all day. Aaron got an exclusive interview with Mark Pope. (00:19:38) The transfer portal is also hopping non-stop. Mark Stoops has been busy replacing all of the departures. (00:23:25) We also talk CFP and give our predictions. (00:39:12)

Colgate shouldn't pose much of a threat but you have to make sure you handle business without looking ahead to the Cards coming to town. There's a lot going on on the football side and Jalen had some thoughts.

Fun and joy around the basketball program (00:11:00)

Extended run for Travis Perry? (00:14:20)

Don't judge Cutter Boley or Bush Hamdan (00:40:00)

Started without Butler, lost Kerr. Carr was huge, that Jax floater! Kentucky erased a 16-point deficit against Gonzaga to give Mark Pope and the Cats another dub over a top 10 team. Best regular season win since? Wait until they start stronger in the first half! #BBN

Van Hiles joined Vinny to discuss all things that ailed Kentucky football this season. Signing class finished fairly well. (00:01:50) Can't blame Dakiel Shorts for leaving after one season. (00:04:30) The secondary had issues. (00:07:00) Deone Walker has cost himself money (00:09:00).

Van talks about the times he got got. (00:15:00) So many things to fix, so little time. (00:20:00) We talk about Van's Bears. (00:26:00)

Mark Stoops is only playing for pride at this point. Deone Walker less dominant. (00:04:20) No bowl game to prep for, will the team show up and keep the winning streak against Louisville alive? Can young Cutter Boley exploit the Cards defense? (00:14:25) Kentucky wasn't shooting the lights out but Mark Pope and the Cats still found a way to beat the Hilltoppers. That's a good sign because every game won't be smooth and free-flowing for the offense. Nice to see them adjust and still score 87 points. (00:24:25)

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.

Which UK team will show up in Gainesville? (00:03:00)

The "tie your shoes" situation. (00:26:15)
