The brief
Kentucky Sports Radio opens with a Big Blue Madness ticket game: listeners must identify restaurants in selected Kentucky counties, turning local knowledge into live competition.
The hosts discuss Kentucky’s assistant-coach opening and speculate about Mark Pope’s plans, while callers fold basketball travel, the South Carolina game, and the giveaway into one conversation.
Letcher County brings discussion of Whitesburg and local landmarks before a listener reaches Joe’s Drive-In Chicken and wins tickets, creating the hour’s clearest payoff.
The contest shifts to Monroe County and Tompkinsville, where Dovey’s distinctive squeezed burgers become the clue that sends another listener to the winning location.
After celebrating participation from Kentucky and Michigan, the hosts preview Braves-Phillies, debating Atlanta’s bullpen-game approach and Bryce Harper’s recent performance.
