Rippy Rights with Brian Scott Libby.

Transcript can be obtained by drinking a fifth of bourbon, ramming your head through some drywall, and then writing down every thought you have.

What is up? I am Brian Scott Rippey. Thanks for tuning in to another edition of the Rippy Rights podcast.

Today we are kicking off our preseason opponent preview series. We're going to talk to someone that covers every one of an Ole Miss's SEC opponents.

And today we start with the Kentucky Wildcats, Ole Miss's first SEC opponent.

This year we talked with a good friend of mine, Derek Terry, who is a longtime Kentucky beat guy,

got out of the industry full time like I did, but does a substack as well,

very connected

to the Kentucky program.

I met Derek in 2017 as we were the first ever interns at D1 Baseball there with Kendall

Rogers and Aaron Fitz.

So a little bit of a blast from the past there, but good catching up with Derek.

And he provided some great insight on the Mark Stoops area at Kentucky.

Stoops's recent inflammatory comments about NIL or lack thereof,

juxtaposed with the fact that he might have the most talented roster he's ever had since being at Kentucky,

expectations for the 2024 season, what to make of this matchup, and a whole lot more.
