    Why have Cover Zero in the radio show feed other than to inflate the Cover Zero numbers? I’ve unsubscribed until it’s removed.

Q: What was your big takeaway from SEC Football Media Week?
Ty Bryant highlighted the overall confidence emanating from the Kentucky program and the coaching staff, noting the willingness to win now and the strong leadership from the new regime.

07-30-2026 KSR - Hour 1
Q: Do you think the revenue exists and the structure of this to make Kentucky not just competitive, but a top-level football program?
Yes, emphatically yes; Kentucky has the tradition and structure in place, and with ongoing evolution of NIL, revenue sharing, and strategic investment, the pathway to a top-tier program exists.
2026-06-17 KSR - Hour 1
Q: Two questions. First, on ball handling, you hear a lot of comments from guys my age about AAU not teaching you anything when it comes to ball handling. And second, what about Coach Brooks and growing the girls program?
Ball handling is a fundamental skill that should be developed from a young age and continued through this era; the coaches and players should emphasize basic ball-handling practice and game-like drills. Regarding Coach Brooks, she is doing a strong job building a competitive program, expanding the level of play for the women's program and increasing its visibility.
2026-06-18 KSR - Hour 2
