Welcome, everyone, to another edition of the KSR pre-show.

Today is Wednesday, March 12th.

I am Billy Rutledge with no Shannon the dude today.

He is on the road with the guys headed to Bowling Green.

You can give us a call 859-2802-287.

Text us at 502-265-66.

As always, the KSR pre-show is brought to you by Ital X,

fine Italian dining in Lexington at the city center on Main Street,

open for lunch and dinner.

Like I said, no Shannon the dude today.

He is with the boys headed down to the SEC tournament.

They will stop in Bowling Green today to do the show.

I just saw a picture from Drew Franklin of the big dinosaur outside the interstate going towards Bowling Green. So that means

the Hilltopper alum coming out at me here. They're about 30 minutes away from Bowling Green

and hopefully they'll be setting up and ready to go. But on these days, Shannon the dude ditches me, but you'll hear from him later on KSR.

John Alden is the producer today.

He is back in studio, and John, I feel a little bit like McCauley Calkin, home alone.

Maybe I need the booby trap the studio.

I feel a little left out sometime, a little fomo when these guys goes on trip,

but somebody's got to hold the fort down, right, John? That's right. And I'm transitioning over

from News Radio 840 WHAS over here to the KSR studios. And, you know, I got to get into the,

I guess the KSR vibes, whatever that may include today. That's right. We welcome you over, John, even though you are an Indiana fan. We'll keep that to a minimal today. I had so many guests cancel on me today that we're going to run solo for the first 30 minutes. That's right, folks. Colin Cowherd, here's my audition to replace him. We'll go 30 minutes today before we welcome Jack Pilgrim to the show. He's going to call in on his way down to Nashville.
