This is dry when Josh Graham drives we do 3 to 7 support is when it did show become the number two pending story on ESPN's homepage today. You know where deepen the pandemic told Forbes's strategy proved ineffective as Olivier Saar has transferred to Kentucky. He announced this afternoon, however, putting the academics lights aside, I believe Olivier's taking a huge risk with this decision that speaking strictly from a basketball perspective because I don't see Olivier stepping on campus at Kentucky and immediately becoming the guy. Kentucky is always good to have a top five recruiting class coming in they had I think five players leave for the MBA or at least test the process so Olivia, he's not going to be the focal point for this wildcat team while if he went to Wake Forest we would be the primary option at wake be the fan favorite be the leading scorer to be the leading rebounder guys know what he's capable of doing. They're going to feed on the rock more often. I'd imagine what's gonna happen with him in a wildcat uniform may, I think he's read Travis at UK. You might be thinking Josh was read Travis that's my point exactly. He spent a handful years at Stanford. He was a grad transfer a few years ago was the fourth or fifth leading score on that Kentucky team two seasons ago but he was too old to be a draft pick, Olivier Saar, he would be kind of in the same box all guy played for years. You think you're going to be a first-round draft pick or even a second round pick highly unlikely.

I don't see any track record for John Calipari bringing in transfers and having those players be the essential piece of their program.

He would be that for Wake Forest also.

This is a major piece of the puzzle.

The one time transfer isn't a slamdunk yet there are people assuming the NCAA's just to give players a free waiver all the stocks out there about in IL.

Their forward thinking athletes there to be allowed to be paid. Everything's gonna be just fine for the athlete they could transfer wherever they want. It's good to be like free agency. I don't know if you know the same NCAA that I do, but banking on them to do the right thing is and then cross credible risk. It's a huge gamble and that's what Olivier's essentially doing here. He doesn't plan to set.

He had this quote to Jeff bordello of ESPN who does a tremendous job covering college basketball bordello said. I remember talking to Olivier last week about sitting out next year. He said quote I could go Pro play one year and the euro league somewhere to get ready for the NBA. There's no way I set out so there's a chance that this news today isn't Olivier Saar leaving wake for Kentucky it Olivier leaving wake and if he doesn't get this one time transfer, he might be going over the euro.

I think that's a very real possibility. Today what's Olivier's case. If the one time transfer will doesn't get past that you just had a changing coach is no precedent of players being ruled rolled on favorably for instant eligibility.

Just because you had a coaching change.

There's no track record for that so honestly I think solar is taking a huge gamble here because continuity matters, especially now. This is the portion of Steve Forbes answer on the show yesterday that I think is getting massively overlooked. You might know the quote where he said why would you invest three years at Wake Forest trying to get a prestigious degree from there only to transfer to a place like Kentucky. That's the line that's all over ESPN EF you USA Today all over the place Kentucky sports radio losing its mind.

That's the one that everybody sitting on.

This is the piece. Steve Forbes told us yesterday that I think is the most important part here you go, no matter what matter what and you only want my career complying with creamery number going out about a week.

Yardwork recovered. We go back and play with agreement, the love you care about exactly godless of where he goes, but he could potentially play with the same teammates Forbes he got headed that if Saar came back. Jacoby Neath would've came back to will see if with Saar leaving it's for sure that the deacon point guards also going to be going elsewhere. No new update there, but Odile Guam is back Isaiah mu CS is back Ishmael Massoud's back there some guys that he played with this year who had significant contributions on the team.

You don't have that with Kentucky you're at the same location during the coronavirus during the pandemic. I think it's of value to have familiarity to have continuity to be in the same location you've been the last three years because what guarantee is there to be a summer session at all. If there's not a summer session how are you going to build chemistry with this new team so that on top of the one time transfer and the role he might play with Kentucky this upcoming season. If he's allowed to play leads me to Olivier taking a massive risk by choosing to be a wildcat earlier today Bruce Pearl head coach at Auburn. He's gonna be our guest in less than 10 minutes. Once upon a time Steve Forbes was taking it to Kentucky on coach Pearl staff about 10 years ago or so coach pearls can share some Steve Forbes stories with us again in less than 10 minutes.

I asked this question on Twitter today. Robert and it's good to have you back in here who do you view to be the most obnoxious fan bagel in college sports because having Big Blue nation in my twitter feed all day today and my mentions I don't think there's one I put above Kentucky. I think Kentucky is the most obnoxious because they act like they are the very best bought.

There is nothing new, nothing I could say clearly that they're the best. All we have the best history know you don't UCLA does all but that was a million years ago.

John wooden one, all those titles okay let's go modern day tournament 1985. Since the field expanded the 64 how many championships do you have, not as many as you can't.

Not as many as North Carolina. Not as many as do, you're not the best at anything. I asked this question today. Wake Forest clearly you can't wait.

In basketball there.

Kentucky is a lot better than wake is okay, who's the best Kentucky wildcat to ever play in that program.

I guarantee you will find a guy was top 20 top 30 in the history of college basketball Wake Forest.

I know I have one I might have to I'll take Tim Duncan over any Kentucky wildcat who's ever played. I'll take Chris Paul happy birthday to Chris Paul.

By the way, over any guard Kentucky's ever had. If I'm wrong, happy pre-36 777-1600 give me a player in Kentucky basketball history. Who's better then Tim Duncan.

I'll wait this is an aside, Robert.

When I think of the great basketball arenas. I think of Cameron indoor I think the Smith Center. I think a 5 gallon Fieldhouse. You know what, I don't think of Rupp Arena Rupp Arena is attached to a damn shopping mall.

Did you know that they do know Rupp Arena was attached to a shopping mall. Robert did not know that I mean I went there expecting to see this great basketball arena.

What I saw was a shopping mall that you could potentially get some some nice antiques from and while you're there, you could catch up to them what to basketball. That would be an icon that sounds wonderful right a new knickknack that's Kentucky to do so just think they're the best, when in reality your blueblood, but you're easily the fourth best of the blueblood giving Carolina to UCLA. UCLA's history is better than modern day get me to the only reason you had these great wanted dunces because Coach K didn't decide until 2010. He was gonna start recording notes and when he did you like getting the players that Coach K did they would act like it's a big like an accomplishment to win the SEC in basketball. You were my Vanderbilt call Tom say they have the most wins in NCAA men's basketball history you're playing the SEC on now SEC basketball. That's where that man Kentucky just so obnoxious I'm getting a lot of Alabama a lot of UCF football on email and twitter lot of people hitting me with those of the most annoying franchises or to be college fan bases. North Carolina courts are to get a lot of that. I think that's were Roberts voters where Carolina all yeah you know me know.

Roberts annoyed by North Carolina.

I got offended on not annoyed by. I just any time, they lose a game to hop on Facebook the next day and it's and I never see anybody ever complain this much after losing a game as Carolina fans. I sign off on that after we catch up with B.NC State's probably the one night yeah that there there more annoying than that, I give them a lot of respect because they don't have anything to actually cure about I just admire their passion over all these years our cows, one blue ribbon yeah you know you're super pumped about the in a little over 15 minutes were to be joined by B.live in studio, but Bruce Pearl is can share Steve Forbes stories with us next on the Drive Dr., Josh Gray studio. It does before we get grammar school.

There's something I want to say about Coach Ward's comments on the show yesterday which have become national news man you got in the applause for how great do certain things like when you find yourself the big building number two trend installing on yesteryear.

What happened to look at ESPN later and actually see or hear the interview yet, but getting to the comment itself. Thank you for saying that the problem I loved what he had to say.

I had no issue with it because here's the thing he's absolutely 100% right. How the hell can Kentucky is it okay for Kentucky to publicly say that they were better basketball program than anybody else were recruiting against and most times he would be right, but it's not okay for code Forbes to come out here and say yeah where one of the best institutions were better than the guys were going up against better than a Kentucky. The question I have is a simple one if it was the other way around. And instead of academics. It was basketball would people actually care like if John Calipari was trying to keep or what to say John Calipari being the example John Calipari was fearful of one of his players in the transfer portal going to Wake Forest and he said listen why would you spend three years at a basketball program like Kentucky and go to a place like Winston-Salem and Wake Forest would people care yes I don't think they would maybe not to the same magnitude because the Forbes comment made disorder disrespects the intellect of the players and their students there versus that Dom example, disrespect the players but either way, Calipari coming on sand Kentucky basketball program.

Why would you go to a second-tier likely forth in that context to care to be this guy actually told code Forbes this last night I said, have you seen the movie stepbrothers because what you did and you may not even realize that it you are sitting next to Will Ferrell in the clubhouse and punching that deuce bag Derek in the face. That's what you just did. I think most people are looking at what he say this be in the number two national story trending on ESPN this there looking at it thank my God I love this coach at Wake Forest. I love this guy because we've been thinking this and he said it big blue nations ticked off. I hate those guys there obnoxious.

I'm glad he said he's absolutely right. I said I see it anywhere you log Kentucky is not in the top 125 academic institutions of the country. Wake Forest is the top 30 but wait, the harder let's not backtrack second.

Is he right yes but what does a hallway, absolutely not, because God Forbes not the head coach of academia is the head coach of the basketball so I know that perspective there basketball team Kentucky is, you can't. You can't argue, but they're also really full right you're trying to sell Olivier sure, and if you don't have the basketball to sell, sell.

The academics must know that hell out of the academic would hold no weight. Olivier Starr wants to play basketball and if you think about our complete basketball Kentucky rogue in a play play Wake Forest he's going to pick a topic clearly all right, let's get to be dots grammar school. I'm very excited about this. It's the earliest we've ever done this. I've been on a run three consecutive weeks.

I've one in this game.

Three consecutive weeks. If you want to be my lifeline because you know urban terminology more than me vernacular.

I'm not good at it. Robert is B.is the master of it here 336-777-1600 is the phone number let's play the game. Josh Graham has his own way of speaking in high school even play sports wear a helmet and just when you think it can't get any worse language teacher wanted to find means when you think that next semester be 35 Josh is going to attest to learn be dots vernacular the old-school street knowledge. You know what I mean you know what I'm saying it's time for being dots grammar school. Robbie, I have a situation bro where I realized that the verbiage is not just conversational is talking, but a lot of these can be read wrong when you're talking to text for sure. Due to the vernacular. So with that being said, the day Josh. Not all words and phrases, but I have to think that you may have to write down and read you sent me a text last night and I'm ashamed I had to actually Google something to figure out how to washer that was at the end of the word for today where is Chirac you know this Robert, I'm not can divulge that information to you based off your lifelines. I can't tell you whether or not not if you know what this is 336-777-1600 was like a want to be a millionaire.

I have a phone lifeline and I have Robert just go ahead and see if Robert knows this. Robert you know I think it's Chicago going to Chicago is Chirac that is that is correct.

Yes I wrote it down wrong so I like the second what's over off to use the Robert lifeline. I need your lifeline at 777-1600 someone for going for the week fed FDD going. You stated so obvious folks are going fair. That was on going bad you're reading for an audiobook. They're going to be the beginning. The somebodies instrumentals does it mean like you are taking like a government job at Siena police officer in the North know it means the experience of super turn, is going to turn it also might drop 34 things that there's going to go to go to going to see you at East Carolina. What is the third word for me write this down Josh WY PI PO why Pipo okay I think I know the answer to this is why Pipo white people. That is why why Pipo what was the one that I text you last night that you had to Google just I text below the Y and the T's wife why people I didn't know that why people got it yesterday. These three letters.

What do they mean OMG oh in in him and not in a minute. Go to the phone line what Skoda law in Greensboro should swap. Do you know what OMG is I need your help will yes 0C as in no oh, all right.

Thanks for nothing, and G. What would OMG please do you text me you say, ESPN second trading story on ESPN right now. I say that is super dope you respond with OMG oh I know, but I don't think I pass. I don't know how is another one that we had also God is all God, it would be if I said that it was a sound really stupid. Sorry, I got scared because religion was involved one. What is the score you got why people got Chirac dinghy going for you did get on God, oh my God this is as if trying to go for four when I came back I miss my folks that I was wishing you is usually narrower with Salem on a tweet today describing Dale not what I think that the next kick. That is what is a kickback electric tutored somebody after that you are bragging you want three weeks in a row you smelling yourself now look at you looking at looking at Jordan he's got the ball three seconds revenues always visit a spot where you purchased drugs but not all, but know well you can possibly put a kickback is a get together just the party.

All right the past you do your extra credit here. All right, you can if you're invited me to a kickback and there's Kentucky fans. There also get a pass on top of that, if it is a group of Kentucky fans. I'd imagine there's a lot of why Pipo there.you know what man I am super turn. Today I'm going to bed. I have no chance of working. Where is Chirac and here.

So instead we have the last dance James Bray goes on today show his boss is familiar feeling. He just asked him where Chirac when it is done this asking were so not to do that God task you were going to go deep into the heart of Big Blue nation on the drive home. God drive on sports on triad is in studio was thus in to say this in the front. I'm not usually someone is take shots at other radio shows, but there are exceptions to that rule. One exception being the other sports one in Boston last year during the Stanley Cup playoffs hanging up on our friendship.

Alexander from the Raleigh news and Observer canes be writer. They hung up on him because he had a southern accent. So what if we do we sent him a bunch of southern delicacies, including a Bo Berry biscuit, which I'm sure was like a hockey puck time it arrived in Boston in the mail but I think this is also an exception to it as well. As the foremost authority. The atom gold of if you will of the state of Kentucky Matt Jones at Kentucky sports radio tweeted this out last night never thought I would have to have a wake forest trash talking day on Kentucky sports radio, but tomorrow is that day.

I'm intrigued. So I listened to the first segment of their show today and by God, was that a chore because they're talking about stuff like oh organa release and stuff yet heard in the last 20 years and we're going to talk about this kid committing to Kentucky is going to do it live on the radio and then we get to this part where they finally arrive at Olivier Saar and Coach Forbes comments yesterday on this shelf, which has blown up into a national story, something I never thought we would do on this radio show which is talk trash about wake forest like when is the last time you had a strong opinion, any way about wake forest basketball like a strong opinion never nailed it.I hear the laughing but cackling as he just brought out Whitehorse's. If you don't think that's enough. Let's hear more.

We played him famously and Naomi was at 93 would beat about like a thousand yeah I had been quite a sweet 16 that Randolph Childress and I think they had Duncan right and that guy that was Tino's famous strategy were go. Let Duncan score 100 shut down everybody else. How about do your homework. This is the first segment of your bleeping show dude like come on man, 1993 when we famously played them and could lead to staff Childress world. There is no they weren't those players played in 1993. You might be thinking about 1996 where Tim Duncan scored 100,000 on 14 points in that game. What universe are you living in dog how many rebounds that this guy pull down they said we like when we beat them by now, they can score 9 point southern they played the clip from our show and this is how they took. This is how they really trash talk dates when not when you heard that comment Ryan what was your first reaction to a major slap in the face for everybody ever got a degree from the Mercer Kentucky by probation sit down at the computer and email that coach. They should have tweet text here that everyone would agree that Drake have an honorary just back just got back everybody love with somebody gets enfolded.

Somebody just wakes up in the morning like tomorrow. Mashburn wakes up. I am what I just got strapped in the phase fingerprints was that I got smacked and then make sure you write them a letter was called Connolly what the Kentucky but God smacked in the face. Steve Forbes said that made any man so accurate post. So, I swear this is all they did during their" trash talking segment of Wake Forest. Here's the end of that segment. Anyway, the point taken the wind out of my whole thing. I would like you wanted to do with the no I can't because you take it you took a topic that was you ended up making it to where I would have to take a break so I will deal with white forest light will get to them later you you sidetracked me. I have some advice for him. I do. I don't know if you want to take advice from you but it's fine.

Control your own damn show dog to become on what we doing here like it you can take shots at Wake Forest.

At least please come correct.

Yeah Kentucky is beaten Wake Forest in the NCAA tournament. That's true, they beat them three times. Nobody say Wake Forest is Kentucky but nobody is confusing your radio show with Colin Calvert. I don't think I know it's confusing your radio show with anything other than some guys hanging together in Kentucky. Some slap word.

I can't say on the radio. I think that we could do their radio show better than they could yeah oh yeah I honestly just given a second okay what what what what Kentucky sports radio sound like us doing it and Mr. so strong opinion on break segment will trash talk will my wife radio. I could bear it for more than 10 minutes.

My sister and then I get a message that they were saying Winston-Salem just awful city like the worst city in the state.

I'm like okay dude, do some homework into you, Matt Jones, Kentucky for where you think the worst thing the worst place for you to be from if you're a Kentucky, Lexington, the worst play call if you're going to be a Kentucky Louisville that's probably number one answer.

Secondly, I probably said Duke.

Personally, shots were the skies from room to look read a story. His teeth taken off the air last year because because of politics. These like you actually accused of pushing his political agenda disguise.

Also, a politician of court.

Yeah baby smokes a little bit too much on the politics that he can't do a radio show guys anymore. The horrible horrible life that I like the Josh Graham today. You slept bad last my great like that with a P in the store the P in the pot. You could feel the P in the 9550 metric Josh that you just don't have her babies going off and you would think a day on today were you wake up Bobby got the number two trending story on ESPN like you like the one your your your your interview.

Never satisfied and holiday K was a great day. But no, not just talk trash about people. Kentucky will never ever say or how like it if you go out there and say talk trash about Wake Forest to my radio show that's what you're to say first.

I'm interested in what you say me man you had me but then you lost me. I could listen to any more of your unbearable show no denial what the show was then playing the clip from this show.

That's right, you're welcome. You're welcome for the highlight of your show – and then when I hear that he's taking shots at Winston-Salem. This area is I'm I got news for you man this areas a lot better than Lexington. Our basketball arenas aren't attached to malls, they aren't like Cameron indoor is among the best. It is, and the Smith Center.

Yeah, I don't. It's not a test it's not attached to Crabtree Valley Mall for those who were listening in the KY guy is just just let you know like you could take shots at Winston-Salem all you want but anybody would conclude the triad of North Carolina a lot better than Lexington Kentucky anybody take take about population media market amount of sports teams around was the closest pro sports team to Lexington. Now let's let's go on down and watch the Cincinnati Bengals sound like a lot of fun.

Joe Berlin Thursday to turn it around how to play out when the last few decades.

Oh, but you guys are the best.

You guys have the best college rivalry right here that Dan docket got in a fight with him on Twitter about this Louisville versus Kentucky.

Oh, it's the greatest college basketball rivalry. That's why two years ago it was on ESPN2.

That was last time, Duke and Carolina was on ESPN to hear about that February February go marble is worked horses there. Josh and land land and Mohammed Ali was from there making a more that I got for your listening WS to sell the browser MFR I put W sports of dry just lost its ox voice. He also loves to keep his skin so you looking your drive with Josh Graham the coolest story I read this week was by our next guest, Matt Fortuna why wanted to have them on the title Michael Jordan's bodyguard, John Michael Wozniak was a true Chicago character. That name doesn't ring a bell.

He was the security guard in the last dance episodes five and six playing that combination of quarters and bocce ball that a lot of people seem to enjoy watching any hit Jordan with his shrug. He did the struggle and not once but twice, and he has this perm hair mullet that some said reminded them of Kenny Powers from eastbound and down others said looked like Joe exotic from Tiger King. We learned because of Michael's PR person that John Michael Wozniak passed away earlier this year, but that didn't stop Matt Fortuna from writing the story and telling us quite a bit about his family and also his relationship with MJ which is more extensive than I had previously expected.

So what start here Matt and thank you for the time this wasn't just a Chicago arena security guard. He actually was with Jordan for decades, right yeah I pride learn all that kind of what Lori watching that episode Sunday night and make note number. Think about it the last dance in this moment of self isolation and become our weekly belt.

Maybe we could Super Bowl where all of us even outside my life.

Many people who are diehards are watching this thing almost religiously every week become our main event that we look for to reach every week and with that mirror almost became story great Monday morning real Monday morning quarterback will analyze it will take the thing apart endlessly and it is exciting trip down memory lane if you will learn a whole lot right and all packaged with some price quote for Michael and great nostalgic trip for all this, but I don't know if we've learned a lot. Except for a few parts here and there that I think have come from the nonpublic portion of the show. One of them obviously being John Michael Locke saw him like everyone else get it right back in the quarters.

He shrugged and immediately I mean I'm sure that Michael is not unique to anyone else and that this guy is going to be viral likely probably never seen before and see what the story how can I possibly figure that out and gently not long after it aired at the port like Jordan manager tweeted his name Kathleen January, the unfortunate but decided to Google the name anyway and I real father. He was buried in Oaklawn for my lecture and she's from a large Irish Catholic family down there were one of everyone over Chicago after further up my chances that you will be visual or provincial environment where everyone knows everyone and me thinking I might have a chance to get this guy. So I shut out a note number of connected laws without fail number for from the sun because so many people across this family over the years. I shut the sun text and could not be happier. Talk so it's cool about it is he followed Jordan based on reporting to Birmingham, where he became the full-time bodyguard for Michael and he worked with them for two decades.

What I'm interested in why did Jordan trust the student the way the relationship started by Elder Kirby you cannot make it up early on in Jordan's career is first or second year, John Michael is working part-time security on the side at the old Chicago Stadium parking players, cars, and he was parking Jordan's SUV, which at the time the model he had was one of those old old files with spare tire on the back of the rear and John Michael object did not account for spare tire while I parking the car in the back window which I'm getting a nighty just thinking about and talking about even a 30 something years ago and we all know how that story so I can imagine what it was like the perfect guy in the moment to do this to Michael Jordan's car even if he wasn't quite Michael Jordan happen presumably freaked out, but he also is completely upfront and transparent with Michael apologized profusely what my next paycheck.

I got a newborn home next paycheck. I got going straight you to repair this so sorry, and Michael according to Nikolai John Michael fun last car tomorrow and from that point forward, Michael Jordan always looked out for you help out whenever you saw him, he made a point that a competitive point manner.

At least one of the small group appointment that he could trust whenever he was at the stadium and the relationship really took off from there.

Matt Fortuna read the story on twitter at Matt Fortuna and the athletic the title of which it's describing the life of John Michael Wozniak, but specifically his relationship with Michael Jordan you knew him from the last dance documentary or from a mean that you seen somewhere Michael Jordan's bodyguard, John Michael Wozniak was a true Chicago character moving forward with this. The how connected was Wozniak's family, or Wozniak's family and Michael Jordan even today. They had contact during the series. You know why John Michael Wayne January 6 18 months of colon cancer reported that and Michael Jordan kept him on his payroll until last day. He has of the state up in Highland Park.

Northern suburb of Chicago that is still there.

Make it as far as anyone living there right now. Michael likely order right now, but he kept John Michael of the weekly security chief that state and he was there there full-time.

Michael and Michael Jordan made Them unfairly And he reached out to the family.

20 past and Nikolai John Michael fun told me he was texted Michael Jordan Sunday night here and back story that is Nikolai lived in Nashville now get a power outage Sunday night and so he figured out show REPLY and on the power comes back on the middle to show his phone is blowing up with me in contact and oh my God, look, your dad and so he forwarded some of those means and what not to Michael Jordan.

Looks like someone other than Dennis Robin Michelle because they're like Michael replied back. LOL so yes, I mean you Nikolai is very upfront with her mother in the defense took it for granted. Growing up that you well. The guy that looked out for you knew Michael's kids with how she been the bowl games want to see if you truly cannot appreciate until you you view it from the 20,000 you and you look at it you look at the last dance duplicate how many people were affected by Michael Jordan, but not until the very end. John Michael object was very much a part of the fabric Michael Jordan was the coolest thing you learned quite make it into the store. You can't quite work today.

I was so excited to get in without such a time crunch turnaround that I like to think I got as much as humanly possible in their parking lot. Some of the details about the character John Michael on the idea of a Polish cop in that era Chicago married a black woman and superiors to basically when they tell him to practice or inhabit pleasing habit because he didn't think that was fair cursor rejected and then becoming a narcotics officer in yesterday I did a radio hit WGN radio here in Chicago and in the middle of my live interview. They broke into a live caller would be talking about sound like a lot of the name of Mark, and he started talking about how John Michael what was his partner on the unit in 1990 to 1993 and I think if anything, the stories that I've learned in Word, and the defense about how many Chi guys touched and what a character he was a couple in-laws. Reply how to reach out for reach out to me after they read story can we remember seeing him at the bar in Chicago. We went to school. He was just one of those guys who are here made in fanout pictures and obviously in the show Sunday night. But when you hear his phone. Talk about your strength.

Talk about what a character he was absolutely lapping up in heaven right now saying I told you so. After his son told him to cut his hair. Although you look like a fool. This guy actually got the last laugh and he was actually a man of integrity and the very end.

And that's how you yourself are probably most person on the planet. Michael Jordan I wish you on this on the front. Matt Fortuna with the seer from the athletic I'm interested what you think the most obnoxious fan base in college sports is to allow time for you to think about it, I'll give you a quick bit of back story. We had Steve Forbes on the show yesterday Wake Forest new basketball coach and he came on here was talking about Olivier Saar who they were trying to recruit and he said that his pitch to Olivier was why would you want to spend three years trying to get a prestigious degree at Wake Forest.

Then go to a place like Kentucky. All of a sudden blue nations all up in my mentions Big Blue nation is everywhere. They're mad at Coach for their mad at me for some reason add Kentucky sports radio is is is upset as well and then he upped and goes to Kentucky. But this became this this quote from Forbes became the second leading story on ESPN.

I saw the day I had people email me saying hey we saw this on SportsCenter. We saw this in other places.

USA Today, you name it.

Probably the athletic as well. Kentucky fans pretty obnoxious. I'd probably say the most obnoxious. What would Matt Fortuna said. Tori be very here in the end because I covered one of these programs will secure the writer noting football and do baffle either school or just the open bandwagon 20 is made a few jokes about a really nerdy footballer when loading basketball would be puking basketball and make a few jokes here and there and twitter about like man football fans are really nerdy baffled is one band.

They all replied me. You like poking only because it not your standard troop anymore.

You go to school or grokking all bandwagon and the way they are able to talk themselves into rooting for one school and one program to get back programmatically school very well set. Matt, I hope you're doing well. You and your family. It's good to hear your voice. Congrats the great story to and I will chat somewhere down the line you for tuning is on Twitter@Matt_Fortuna and Rita story on
