KSR Happy Hour: Mark Pope's Strange Quote, Senior Day Memories

The KSR crew has picked itself off the floor after the Louisville loss and is looking ahead — or rather, behind. With Senior Day approaching for the Kentucky Football team, we’re getting nostalgic on an all-new KSR Happy Hour.

Every Thursday at 4 p.m. ET, a rotating panel of KSR writers will recap the news of the day, preview the weekend ahead, and probably get way off topic, all while enjoying a delicious refreshment from Country Boy Brewing. Today, Nick Roush, Zack Geoghegan, and Steven Peake are running the show, with me joining if I can make it back from Lexington in time. I was up at the Joe Craft Center today for some basketball interviews, including Mark Pope’s press conference, which included a very odd comment about the pregame environment at Louisville. We’ll talk about that, the BBN United Tipoff Classic, presented by Kentucky Tourism, drawing to a close, and Saturday’s football game against Tennessee Tech, which is also Senior Day. Former high school athletes ourselves, we’ll share our Senior Day memories, which will allow us to also complain about getting old. Can we get a side of Metamucil with our Country Boy brew?

We’ll also be answering your questions and reading comments from the YouTube live chat, so join us. Be sure to subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss any of our excellent content.
