Rupp Arena was mostly filled with fans watching a Kentucky basketball game today, but they got a little football sprinkled in to the game as well. The “Stoops Era” posters above were handed out to the fans at the game this afternoon. Stoops was on hand as well to entertain some exciting football recruits with the help of his newly acquired staff.


Stoops enjoyed his first game at Rupp, standing in as the “Y” in the second half. The crowd greeted him with a standing ovation and a chanting of “STOOOOOOOOOPS!” Did you hear that, Ryan Timmons?

And in breaking news…

We can’t make this stuff up, folks. Starting very soon you can actually PAY for this kind of information from the Herald Leader.

After Noel visits sick children, Tipton probably calls them to remind them they’re sick. I know he’s a supposed hall of fame journalist, but in the 15 years I’ve been in Lexington, I’ve not really seen anything worth mentioning from Tipton. His formula seems to be doing 3 things: Recap the game, spin negative to seem to be doing “serious” journalism, and try (unsuccessfully) to dig up dirt, i.e. the Patterson truck incident.

Tweets like that make mad that KSR lets him post here…everyone thinks it’s funny but it’s really just annoying. LHL needs to let him go and KSR needs to quit letting him post.

Is Jerry Tipton trying to be the most hated person in the state?
December 15th, 2012 at 7:54 pm
But Jerry, what about Stoops’ voice? Is it husky?
December 15th, 2012 at 9:15 pm
My God will Tipton ever get reassigned to paper boy or the janitorial dept? He embarrasses himself, the university, the paper, etc…

11- Please tell me you’re kidding or are you just that stupid. Some people still dont get the NOT Jerry Tipton on KSR. Maybe there needs to be a disclaimer on his articles.

#11 You realize the article on here is a parody of Tipton making fun of him right? Please tell me you are being sarcastic.
