Billy Rutledge

So we've had a lot of good vibes and positivity where we've met before.

But I called you yesterday, and you were in the middle of a coach pitch baseball game.

You got to get to stand on base.

Do you have any of this primal instinct coming out of you when your son is up at the plate?

Is there any sort of in you that this kid's going to be an athlete and I need to coach him to be that athlete?

Because I think parents need that reminder, like you said, of the rules that these are human beings, these are just kids.

So after I got done speaking with you on the phone, I got a call from Matt Jones, who is going to be making the trip, I believe, to Montreal to watch a hockey game, as he's talked about over the last couple days.

His advice to me yesterday, Shannon, was to don't be yourself.

Don't be yourself.

Yeah, I think it was ultimately he said you need to be like 75% Billy R. Sports tomorrow.

He did.

He did say that, yeah.

I guess he's going to ask me to rein it in a little bit.

Tone it down a little bit.

But he also...

Told me to keep Nick in check a little bit with all these hot opinions that he's got.

The whole Kentucky's going to beat Alabama and big click Nick.

Mario made a graphic.

It looked like we were on first take.

A true freshman?
