Friends of Coal, Friends of Coal, Kentucky.org, sponsoring the K KSR Football Podcast. I'm Nick Rouse. That's Adam Lockett.

Van and Drew are joining us a little bit late today. Some stuff goes along. It happens.

Which, you know what? That's perfectly fine, like it, because I wanted to start the show

where we were just a couple hours ago because we know what lies ahead.

We know what everybody wants to talk about.

But we do have to talk about the work and getting back to it.

And I don't even know how to describe the press conference we just sat through, but that was,

that was something, man. I don't, I just, I, I, I wish I could find the right words for it like it, but I just, I just, I'm left with this very uncomfortable, awkward feeling, because that's, that's, that's what it was. It was uncomfortable, it was awkward. Nobody was there. It just felt weird. It felt very, very weird.

Yeah. Awkward, I think, is a good word for that. I think everyone in there kind of felt that.

It's like a tension almost. And we were all there just, it was almost Nick, like we were all just trying to avoid, like,

everyone knows what's going on, right?

The conversation around Kentucky football is whether, you know, soup is going to get fired or not.
