Glad to get the win! Now if we win Saturday, we will be back in the conversation for the tournament. Glad to Jorts as the Y…which reminds me #JohnShortForTheY
February 21st, 2013 at 9:58 am
!woooooooo yo quiero gatos!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:01 am
One thing was sure, they were more comfortable allowing Vandy open layups as opposed to open 3 pointers…how many times did Vandy get to the rim?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:02 am
baby steps to the the NCAA Tourney…baby steps to the the NCAA Tourney…baby steps to the the NCAA Tourney
February 21st, 2013 at 10:03 am
I wonder what Chester has for us today?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:04 am
Nothing is ever easy with this team yet beating Missouri and Florida at home might be possible as neither team plays their best on the road. Let Jorts do the ‘Y’ at those games too for good charma!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:04 am
Our fanbase is hilarious. Yesterday the sky was falling today were back in the tourney. If your not with us stay off this wagon
February 21st, 2013 at 10:05 am
I cracked up a couple times when you could hear Cal yelling at Harrow to put pressure on the man with the ball 40 feet away from the basket. Harrow would run at the guy and the Vandy player would simply go by him creating a 5 on 4.
I loved the effort though, aside from the scoring drought it was fun to watch.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:05 am
I think fans are reading way too much into this. It was a close win against a really bad team. This team just isn’t very good. Good players, but not so good team.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:05 am
The way that Vanderbilt got to the rim last night I would say our chances of beating Missouri are slim to none. We gave up way too many easy baskets and barely beat a pretty miserable team. It was a victory and that was nice. The usual suspects played with better effort. But the fact that we’re celebrating a victory over a bottom-dwelling team pretty much sums up the season. Going to have to play much, much better perimeter D on Saturday.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:06 am
I am #TeamErnie
February 21st, 2013 at 10:06 am
WCS played like a man last night. He keeps playing like that he may be the #1 pick this year?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:06 am
HB7 was passed!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:07 am
The fast breaks in the 1st 10 minutes of the game put us up 14, our biggest lead…then we pretty much quit running.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:07 am
7, THAT’s why What a difference a day makes!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:08 am
swag – ger …. swagger
February 21st, 2013 at 10:09 am
I blame Willie’s game last night on the shoes. Kentucky played great last night. Glad to see the guys having fun.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:09 am
If you can dodge a wrench….we can dodge NIT.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:10 am
Ryan just has to be offensively aggressive. When he is, he usually can produce points.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:10 am
Not trying to be a downer, BUT Harrow went back to his old ways in the second half he disappeared
February 21st, 2013 at 10:10 am
What do you all think about Poythress’ performance? Do you all think 7 points and 4 boards is going to be good enough to be effective? The dude should be getting 20 and 10 consistently. He’s got the talent to do so.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:11 am
Julius Mays may be the most un-athletic player that has seen time for UK since Mark Coury. Talk about someone who gets the most out of their talent.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:12 am
#18 lol
February 21st, 2013 at 10:12 am
Very superstitious?
No tie on coach
Back to the old uniforms
BUT – the new intro Video, it was a crowd pleaser.
Johnny Cash – God’s Gonna Cut you Down was in the video…
Powerful statements and they backed it up!
Go Cats!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:12 am
If u can dodge a wrench, u can dodge the bubble
February 21st, 2013 at 10:12 am
First, dodgeball. Next, wiffle ball. Is duck, duck, goose next??
February 21st, 2013 at 10:13 am
18 oops
February 21st, 2013 at 10:14 am
I hope Cal has some decent defenders coming in next year. Offense gets the crowd excited, but defense wins championships. This team couldn’t defend their own virginity.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:14 am
#9 I believed Vandy played a very good game as well. They hit free throws and hit 10 3s. Any win now is a good win. lol It’s just good to see them playing hard and having fun. I noticed more high fives and chest bumps than in this game than any game all year.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:14 am
20 — I disagreed that he disappeared. He may not have scored much in that second half, but he played hard all night long.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:14 am
Did MIssissippi’s LOSE over South Carolina hurt the “quality” WIN UK had over Ole Miss with regards to Tourny selection?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:15 am
Matt the only thing missing from the pregame video was chester’s last call!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:15 am
Earnie’s call last night had to be the best postgame show call of all time
February 21st, 2013 at 10:15 am
Don’t go to Matt on the phone lines, my phone died.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:15 am
Maybe some of the coaching staff hit these kids in a the head with a Dodge Ball and it changed their game.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:16 am
Dodge-ball game may be the best coaching move I’ve ever seen.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:16 am
Maybe ring around the Rosie or red rover!!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:16 am
Matt, since you are taking dancing lessons, when is the KSR crew going to film a Harlem shake?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:16 am
Team Ernie all the way!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:16 am
That was a NCAA tournament team last night… not a NIT team.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:16 am
Yesterday afternoon before the game I heard a guy say on Little Rock radio that if Kentucky lost last night, they could kiss all hope of any post-season tournament goodbye–including the NIT. People down here are fruitcakes when it comes to basketball. :[
February 21st, 2013 at 10:16 am
Dodge ball game may be the best coaching move I have ever seen.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:16 am
I loved that you could hear the team talking on D, heard Cauley-Stein a few times. We just need to get him to stop trying to take charges against guards. You’re 7 feet tall, block that stuff!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:17 am
31 – yes it did. The Cats are not going to get any help outside of themselves – it’s all on them to make the tourney. I think they will have to beat Mizzou or UF to make the tourney as an at-large; otherwise they will have to make some serious noise in the SEC tourney.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:17 am
So if this book signing tomorrow last more than 4 hours should I see my doctor? Thats my point of view.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:17 am
Also, someone needs to send Erin Calipari a box of Al Purnell Sausages
February 21st, 2013 at 10:18 am
Nothing in the header about any success with AP…can’t understand how that can be.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:18 am
They still suck. But it was good to see some fight in them
February 21st, 2013 at 10:18 am
Whether or not you think Cal has done well with this team or not, you have to admit he has tried just about everything with these guys. They looked like they were having fun last night so maybe keeping them loose with the dodge ball and wiffle ball thing is a good go to move.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:18 am
“It’s goooooooood”
February 21st, 2013 at 10:18 am
“Big Blue Insider with Dick Gabriel” that makes me laugh every time I hear it.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:18 am
Thank you Matt. I’ve been saying that for years!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:19 am
anyone at KSR….. I heard a promo this morning for KSR about a new begining with Joker Phillips and coach Cal.May need to up-date that. It played about 9am right before Tom’s show on 1080.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:19 am
amen Matt bout time you get at these fare weather fans… GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:19 am
Why can’t we all just admit Chester was right yesterday. I hope he calls in today with “I told you so..”
February 21st, 2013 at 10:19 am
Matt doing Chester proud….
February 21st, 2013 at 10:19 am
We play red rover here in waddy/peytona
February 21st, 2013 at 10:19 am
Preach it Matt! Go Big Blue!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:20 am
Totally agree Matt. I’m really pleased with their effort and the W last night. This win was a big deal after a total collapse on Saturday.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:20 am
Conway Twitty played professional dodgeball
February 21st, 2013 at 10:20 am
Matt, there is no place called Waddy Peytona. There is Waddy, and there’s Peytona. They’re on opposite sides of I-64. Different places. Your newest favorite post game caller was in Waddy. And yes, I’m pretty sure he was speaking Spanish at the start.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:21 am
dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge
February 21st, 2013 at 10:21 am
Matt can you post that Oscar and RFK photo today?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:21 am
woah!! Matt come on man… Just think UCONN two years ago anything can happen, expecially this year no good teams
February 21st, 2013 at 10:21 am
The “good fan” debate fascinates me. There’s a real fine line between good fan and irrational fan. Are good fans the ones that refuse to see the flaws in the team? Last night gave me hope, but the fans that say we’ve turned the corner and are headed to the final four are delusional. I hope it happens, but there’s no way you can say that based on their performance to date.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:21 am
Ryan Harrow will be a huge key to any hope we have Saturday. Polson simply cannot stay in front of Flip Pressey. Mizzou is erratic but looking at their roster its easy to see why they were so highly regarded.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:21 am
Unless we win it, will the SEC Tourney really have an impact on whether we make the Big Dance? Doesn’t seem to these days.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:21 am
Glad to know dodge ball can still be played on public property. I thought it had been banned.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:22 am
What the hell is Ernie’s deal?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:22 am
IF MKG can add a consistent jumper, he will be a force for a long time in the NBA
February 21st, 2013 at 10:22 am
Ernie had himself a lady friend…you called him out he lost his train of thought.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:22 am
If Willie scores 20 a game we won’t need Nerlens because many other good things will happen and the cats will win. Simple but true.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:23 am
This reminds me of the awkward kid that’s in Superbad
February 21st, 2013 at 10:23 am
I think I heard him listening to Smooth Operator.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:23 am
Sounds like he’s trying to get his dog to come inside. I’m with Ryan on this one.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:23 am
Crowd was solid last night. Between Jeff Ruby and the fan that got ejected there were some classic fan moments. The fans around me wanted Jaime Luckey’s head on a platter last night. They were out for blood. Can someone explain the leaving the bench/ejection/no technical rule?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:23 am
Sounds like Ernie was making an undercover drug deal.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:23 am
it wasnt the margin of victory thats important but the energy and intensity the team displayed. It was the most energy Ive seen in a long time and you could tell they cared and meant business. Thats what was so impressive. Harrow showed how much of a difference he can make when he’s attacking and when he’s in the right place mentally.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
I bet he was practicing Rosetta Stone in anticipation for the Spanish Open
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
Ernie said – calling his dog?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
Well he is in Waddy… that explains a lot. But WHY talk spanish to your dog?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
Sounds like he’s speaking Cajun.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
Come On- Oh Sorry What? Donde esta el bano?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
It sounds like some music in the background — think he was watching Spanish TV.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
fast o break o is good o…
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
matt did you ever hear news about the man that sounded like he was having a heart attack on the air back in december or early january
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
Sounds like it was Arabic.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
This is like an episode of Homeland
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
ryan had it. yelling at the dog.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
It’s not estoy bien, it was “esta bien,” meaning “it’s good.”
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
That IS smooth operator. How strange.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
I loved the new “Let’s Fight” video by the team to motivate BBN and get behind the team that showed fight, heart and effort last night in a must-win game. Also, I loved that the team took the ball strong to the basket and finished several big dunks. Great guard play and contributions from the team. The team “jump” at center court in the first half was awesome…Go CATS!!!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:24 am
I’m with Ryan on this. That’s WaddEnglish.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:25 am
Tell’em Jimmy
February 21st, 2013 at 10:25 am
He was watching T.V., that wasn’t his voice. That’s why he said oh, sorry.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:25 am
Absolutely listening to Smooth Operator!! I think he was Smooth Operating for sure!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:25 am
It may be a movie he is watching because there is some sound in the background of the television. Ernie may be Jason Bourne.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:25 am
Loving the Ernie call, but an even better call was the guy who called into the IMG pregame show making a case for why Tod Lanter should play more…
February 21st, 2013 at 10:25 am
I had no clue what Ernie was saying last night when I was driving on the BG. I was befuddled. #TeamErnie
February 21st, 2013 at 10:25 am
I’m well, how are you? this is what ernie said..
February 21st, 2013 at 10:25 am
My family and I were in the crowd last night..it has been 2 yrs since we went to a game…We get the leftover student tickets..the crowd around me was awesome in Sec 231. Nothing but positivity and encouragement being yelled to the team. Rupp was awesome last night..like the crowd was trying to wrap their arms around the team , letting them know we are behind them.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:25 am
He was listening to “Smooth Operator” by the English group, Sade.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:25 am
The big question was who was picked last in Dodgeball?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:25 am
95 –> CORRECT!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:25 am
Ernie is training his dog in Spanish to mule items across the border
February 21st, 2013 at 10:26 am
Matt, you have to stop with the stuttering…it’s not good radio.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:26 am
76. Why did a fan get ejected? And what was the Jeff Ruby moment?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:26 am
It sounds like English to me… I will have to agree with Ryan. I heard ” <> are you coming? Come in”
February 21st, 2013 at 10:26 am
it sounds like estamos aqui – which means we are here…or come here
February 21st, 2013 at 10:26 am
That was not spanish if it was it was really bad.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:26 am
Are you sure the Spanish wasn’t coming from the TV, rather than from Ernie? I don’t know but to me it sounded like his TV was on in the background. Anyway, it was definitely “como” and “esta bien” but without knowing the context, it’s impossible to know what it was really about.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:26 am
My son in law called last night and was going to take Vandy and the 11 points and was going to bet $500. He wanted to know how I felt about it. He and I both agreed it was easy money. The best bet of the year. Of course he couldn’t find his billfold to get his credit card info and missed out on putting the bet down.Now the next best bet will come this weekend. I say Missouri will probably be favored by 3 or 4 points. Missouri will beat us by 20 plus. If we cannot stop Vandys guards from getting to the rim, there is no way we can handle Phil Pressey. WCS again will get exposed against their bigs.Pressey will have15 assists and they will dunk all over us.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:26 am
Is Handsome Jimmy at Bud’s or Charlie’s? Sounds like he is sitting at the bar drinking
February 21st, 2013 at 10:26 am
Sounds like he’s trying to call a dog inside the house. You just can’t normal to a dog.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:27 am
Matt, your Handsome Jimmy impersonation is awful, how about you let some callers give it a try?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:27 am
Dude’s Dick Vitale the other day > Matt’s Handsome Jimmy
February 21st, 2013 at 10:27 am
Definitely had Smooth Operator in the background.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:27 am
Matt’s impersonation of Handsome Jimmy has always been gawd awful. He has no room to ever diss anyone’s impersonation as long as he keeps trying to impersonate the handsome one.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:28 am
112. Shut up, Meg.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:28 am
i still smell like a combination of old man aqua velva and old spice from putting on the headphones after a sweaty handsome jimmy put them on during a remote at bearno’s
February 21st, 2013 at 10:28 am
Ernie speaks English, his dog obviously speaks Spanish. That has to be it.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:28 am
I can’t believe I’m saying this but, I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH MATT! Lastnight was the best game I’ve been to all season. It’s true Vandy really stinks, but I love UK sports and they gave me something to root for and that’s what it’s all about, the good times.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:28 am
Re. Ernie’s call: sounded like Spanish to me. Maybe he has a double life: two wives, two dogs, four kids, and his Honduran wife calls him Ernesto.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:28 am
why did matt cut him off. He should have pressed ernie himself on what he said
February 21st, 2013 at 10:29 am
The BEST thing that would happen for Alex is for him to stay AND us to get 1 of Randle,Gordon,Wiggins. Talk about some intense competition in practice.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:29 am
MATT, he said “Perry Como esta bien.” Perry Como was a popular singer in the 1950s. Go figure!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:30 am
He says, freddie, come in! You comin?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:30 am
“Come on. Come in. You commin’?”
February 21st, 2013 at 10:30 am
It is english… he’s just grunting commands to a dog or cat and we all talk a little differently when talking to pets and he’s obviously got an accent
February 21st, 2013 at 10:30 am
Sounds to me like “Buddy, esta bien. Come on”
February 21st, 2013 at 10:30 am
that is the farthest thing from arabic as possible.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:30 am
Vandy is awful but they did play pretty well IMO last night. They moved the ball and executed well and were shooting lights out from 3. Some people think a 4 pt. victory over an awful team diminishes the win. We didn’t play well on defense but Vandy’s offensive execution had a lot to do with that.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:30 am
I just had a comment deleted, but not sure why. Nothing bad in it. Strange.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:30 am
Matt, I’m a huge fan of the show but stop being an a** to Ryan for saying he’s calling his dog. It sounds as much like he’s trying to get his dog (sounds like he’s calling it Baby to me) to come inside and talking to it like a little child as it does Spanish.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:31 am
NO entiendo what Ernie is saying.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:31 am
Matt’s Handsome Jimmy impersonation has always reminded me of
the lion Snagglepuss in an old cartoon I watched when I was a kid.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4qFxTTi8q0
February 21st, 2013 at 10:31 am
He let Matt think that it was something shady going down. And now Matt is talking about it this morning. Ernie got his 15 minutes!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:31 am
The Senator’s name is pronounced “Shickle” like “shackel” with a short i sound.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:32 am
At first it sounded spanish to me to, but to be honest after a while, I think Ryan may be on to something.
Can you slow the audio down any??
February 21st, 2013 at 10:32 am
Have you guys seen that thread over at Rupps Rafters on the Cody Zeller nut shot? It really looks like Zeller pulled Nix into him to make it look like retaliation for his elbowing Nix in the junk. POTY material there for sure.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:32 am
Ernie mumbles the first part. I hear “como” in there which means “how”, and the second part is definetly “esta bien” but the way he inflects the words it sounds like he mean “stop, that’s enough” instead of the literal translation of “are you good?”.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:32 am
You’ve got a former UofL assistant coach doing a commercial on your show. Jurich must be running your show as well. What’s next, a Clint Hurtt endorsement?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:33 am
Ernie was calling his dog in.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:33 am
I think its obvious, Ernie is the fake Eli Capilouto.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:33 am
Post a sound clip on the site.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:33 am
The rest of the call is good, too, from the mental exercise to loosen up thru Waddy/Peytona and finally, Ernie continues to evade questions about what he was saying at the beginning — if he was talking to a dog, why would he not just say “I was talking to my dog, Freddie.”
February 21st, 2013 at 10:34 am
Callers….please. Please don’t start out by saying “I WANTED to ask you a question”. Say ” I want” in present tense….better yet–Just ask the dang question!!!’. One of the most annoying things about the show.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:34 am
He is speaker pig Latin. Not spoken much anymore but a lot of dealer use it to keep people from understand on what they are talking about.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:34 am
I think Ernie was watching “This Means War” They play Smooth Operator in that movie. I think what we’re mistaking as spanish was just movie dialogue. He was embarrased to admit he was watching a rom-com.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:35 am
Vandy is not a good team, but they are not cupcake city by any means. The win last night was a hard fought victory and one the kids should be proud of. They could have lost and basically threw in the towel on the season. Instead, they won and now have a one-game situation on Saturday to gain real respect across the nation.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:35 am
If he’s in his office it’s either empty or his office is in the men’s room.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:35 am
Is this one of those Howard Stern prank calls?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:36 am
Props to Papa Brooks regarding the push for renovation!
Also, a big thanks to all who supported HB7.
I think Ernie and the human trafficking angle has a lot of juice.That was a top 3 call…and offhand, I can’t actually name a more interesting call.
The win was good. We CAN play ball but it has to be a full forty minutes,( insert favorite sports cliche).
February 21st, 2013 at 10:36 am
Ernie’s dog is obviously a chihuahua
February 21st, 2013 at 10:36 am
What a crock of sh+t. The state finally allowed the university to get and finance their own loan. This state is run by a bunch of buffoons!

I’m not a big fan of Capilouto, but he did a good interview there
February 21st, 2013 at 10:38 am
He seems to have forgotten about your comments about being in class after the National Championship.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:39 am
Think Ernie was just drunk and slurring his words!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:39 am
Matt, you are overthinking it…. “Bernie, come on… come in… you commin’?”
February 21st, 2013 at 10:40 am
As confused as Ernie was, I think you’re on to something with the Smooth Operator stuff.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:41 am
He Said “Come on esta bien wasabi”
February 21st, 2013 at 10:41 am
Buddy, come on. Esta bien. You coming.
That’s it.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:41 am
Maybe we should put these two theories together. Calling the Mexican dog and doing the dirty. LOL, I had to put that image in your head.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:42 am
Matt, what do you think of Archie’s “slip up” in his interview saying that they need to do it for themselves errr for the team?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:43 am
What the heck do they put in the water in Waddy
February 21st, 2013 at 10:43 am
It is so obvious that he is calling his dog to come inside!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:43 am
Our guys, IMO, did a great job hustling over to provide help and cut off the drives late in the game.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:44 am
Maybe his dog is a Chiwawa??
February 21st, 2013 at 10:44 am
Ernie is an undocumented visitor.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:44 am
John is a politician. He always says what he wants to say, regardless of the question that was asked.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:45 am
They played dodge ball defense in the second half. When a guy went for the rim they all dodged the guy and the ball!
They should play red rover tomorrow…dare anyone to go to the rim.
If they can win against Mizzou, win one of two road games and loose to Fla they will be 20 – 10 gong into SEC tourney.
Two wins in tourney would put them at 22 – 10.
At 22 – 10 it would be tough for them to be left out of NCAA tourney.
Just look at some of the records of bubble teams that have gotten in the tourney in past few years.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:45 am
Lisa loves her some “big willie” !
February 21st, 2013 at 10:45 am
Have we ever established if John Short has a cell phone? If so, I’d like to know what kind. Get on it Matt.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:45 am
John Short doesn’t have time for your questions.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:46 am
Where are you Travis? Come out and play!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:46 am
Oh, it’s so good to be w/ my brothers and sisters in Blue. I only heard part of the game then watched the highlights but was immediately concerned when I saw the score (74-70 against a BAD Vandy team…in RUPP!?!). Yes they looked, sounded, and played much better and we’ll take that but as connoisseurs of college basketball, the Kats had better get back at it today b/c what we witnessed was not enough. This team just proved they can be much, much better. And college is when they have to make it happen on a consistent basis. I am completely w/ #9, 10, 14, and 20 and many more I am sure. GOOD GAME! GOOD WIN! Now play like you can individually and as a team for 40-Minutes-of-Heaven!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:46 am
To borrow a phrase: Lisa sounds like a saucey lass.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:46 am
Sorry, correction to post 174, also beat MSU at home…they would be 21 – 10 going into SEC tourney and 23 – 10 if they win 2 in SEC tourney.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:47 am
A lot of callers sound like they have cracked a bottle open a little early what do you guys think.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:48 am
I think it is obvious that Ernie was the leader of a Mexican drug cartel, who has been relocated via a witness protection program. His new identity requires him to be a country boy who loves UK. Similar to Christopher Walken in “Joe Dirt.”
February 21st, 2013 at 10:48 am
Not sure Lisa was referring to the same big willy that played for KY last night!!!!!!!!!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:48 am
FYI – The last caller’s “Big Willie Style” was a reference to Will Smith’s album of the same title, featuring “Getting Jiggy with It”, which is the song the caller was humming.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:49 am
Ernie is probably being whisked away by the feds to assume a new identity. Again.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:50 am
Matt, pls get fans to pack gameday
February 21st, 2013 at 10:50 am
140, I saw that too. I thought it was hilarious when the refs reviewed the play and they were just looking at each other like, “what the hell happened”. No foul was called, although IMO should have been a technical on Zeller for faking it. Judging by Crean’s reaction to the flagrant foul called on Watford, this type of douchebaggery is prevalent throughout the IU program.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:51 am
Pitbull says “Dale” which means “let’s go”. Not “Dame”
And dude was talking to his dog.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:51 am
He said “Giving it good!” With smooth operator playing in the background.. I’m pretty sure their was coatis going on during your phone call. Listen to his call again. It is really funny when you know what is going on.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:51 am
Matt, how about Cody Zeller nut tapping himself with Derrick Nix’s hand? Dirty Hoosiers…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TxaPP0h-uQ
February 21st, 2013 at 10:52 am
186 — Agree. What better place for a witness to hide than in Waddy-Peytona, Kentucky? Ernie sure messed that up.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:52 am
Maybe he was teaching an online class for a college on the west coast?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:52 am
Matt, I think speaking Spanish is hard. I had a hard time conjugating verbs but then I went to Mexico a couple of years ago and they had little kids that could speak Spanish so maybe I’m just stupid.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:52 am
I’m no spanish expert but I’m pretty sure its “dale” and not “dame”
February 21st, 2013 at 10:52 am
The Spanish language has forever been damaged today.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:54 am
Maybe big Ern had his TV cranked up on Univision. He said it would be awesome if he could speak Spanish because he wanted to know what was being said. Dialogue is important to Ern while he’s taking matters into his own hands.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:55 am
Ernie was talking to his pet chihuahua, Chico. He didn’t want to explain, because he’s embarrassed to own a chihuahua.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:55 am
I’m so glad Nate hung up. He just goes way too slow for the radio.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:55 am
Agree #155…would add uninformed buffoons!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:55 am
Ernie might be in the country illegally and did not want to give any kind of hint.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:56 am
I want SUE WYLIE on a fat head!
February 21st, 2013 at 10:56 am

February 21st, 2013 at 10:57 am
How about the representative that voted against the football renovations as a Fathead?
February 21st, 2013 at 10:58 am
Waddy/Peytona is part of Shelby County. Shelby County has the highest percentage of Hispanics per capita in the state. It is very likely that your theory of Ernie having a Spanish mistress at his house that he was proceeding to get busy with while he was on hold is correct.
February 21st, 2013 at 10:58 am

There are a lot of Fart Heads on here today!
February 21st, 2013 at 11:01 am
Not sure if this is being done already or not, but what about the Harlem shake while the opposing team is shooting free throws. One random guy dances while the rest of the eRUPPtion zone just stands there. Then right as the player lifts the ball to shoot, the eRUPPtion zone just starts going crazy.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:01 am
Matt, we need a referee story and an uncensored BCG podcast
February 21st, 2013 at 11:02 am
I’ll tell you one referee I think is great is the black one from last night, Anthony Jordan. He just does a great job.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:02 am
Guys, i’m telling you. Ernie was watching “This Means War” on HBO, last night. It’s a scene where chris pine has reece witherspoon in his apartment. She goes to bathroom, he goes to sit on his couch, and his dog is on the couch. The dog whines, and Chris Pine says: “come on. Scram. lets go.”
Myster solved. Boring.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:03 am

Ernie was definitely getting a little waddy on his peytona.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:09 am
I agree. Especially on Game Day. Can’t to see who didn’t get this notice.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:10 am
WE can STILL WIN the SEC REGULAR SEASON!!!!
February 21st, 2013 at 11:13 am
To combine Matt’s theory with Willie’s theory, maybe Ernie was watching a Spanish adult film and got embarrassed when he realized he was on the air.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:15 am

Jamie Lucky is a punk! I hate him even more now. Speaking of terrible refs…Matt, can you please explain what happened with the scuffle last night that ended with the 2 Vandy players being kicked out? Why was there no technical foul called?
February 21st, 2013 at 11:25 am
Last chance to get your Snake Oil, last chance.
Snake Oil shortagege, last chance, get it while it lasts.
Going quickly, get it while it lasts.
Oh! Just practicing sales pitch for selling SEC tourney tickets should Cats loose early in Nashville.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:25 am
Matt, I am sitting with a coworker listening to the show and he said we have a more passionate fan base than UK. He is a LSU fan. Can you speak on the air and clear this up for us?
February 21st, 2013 at 11:30 am
Darius Miller got a technical for slapping the backboard on a lay up his freshman year.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:32 am
Anyone seen this acting job by Zeller in the MSU game? He actually grabbed Nix’s arm and guided it into his crotch, and then doubled over in fake agony and looked back at the ref for a call. I saw it live and was laughing about it, but the slow mo makes it even more obvious. They reviewed the play, and no foul was called – obviously. #teamdouchebag

taylor – you have to call the phone number so they can track how many people call from this show. the phone number is specific for this show only. i know it’s a hassle

Does Vanetti have to do EVERY commericial that is on the radio. Make it stop!!!!

Speaking of Burr, why does everyone say “Burrrr” on the podcast whenever Archie makes a basket?
February 21st, 2013 at 11:38 am
It’s the season ticket holders jumping off the bandwagon. I work for UK and I get e-mails daily on bluehairs trying to get rid of their tickets because they have given up!
February 21st, 2013 at 11:38 am
245 — Zeller also hit Nix in the crotch a few plays before that.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:39 am
I know a bunch of guys that go to LSU..the Frats and others treat baseball like tailgating…go to the weekend games and drink from sun up to sun down from thur/fri-sunday…they love baseball a lot, but they LOVE drinking. They are crazy for football, the girls know their players like our girls know basketball players, which is amazing to me, our girls don’t know max smith from josh clemons.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:40 am
That fan is a hero.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:42 am
When I was in high school, a Pulaski County fan got tossed and arrested from an Adair County / Pulaski County county game. He may have actually struck the official. I can’t remember.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:43 am
Matt dont forget about all of those fans that dropped their season tickets to football. What about the 10k of fans that stuck it out and watched the football cats finish their season. I agree with you I cant stand the fans that decided not to be KY fans when they are down, especially football.

Matt- Augusta is not pronounced Ah-gusta, but Uh-gusta
February 21st, 2013 at 11:44 am
What did that guy say about UK’s record and Shows games? UK is 53-18 in games he’s officiated. Lost the last 4, but won the last 11 and 20 of the last 21.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:44 am
From the 1st or 2nd link of that caller’s exact Google search…
“In fact, in games that Doug Shows has officiated, with John Calipari as coach, Kentucky was 20-1 until the last four games. The Cats have lost all four — at Louisville, Texas A&M at home, at Alabama and at Tennessee. That brings the mark to 20-5.”
Nice accurate research!
February 21st, 2013 at 11:45 am
Matt, its pronounced for like uh-gusta, than aah-gusta.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:45 am
In that drunk driving commercial, Matt sounds like the tape has been slowed down…his voice is strangely deep and dopey

It’s Au-gusta, not Al-gusta. Augusta
February 21st, 2013 at 11:47 am
Shows just sucks, and I don’t think he likes Cal, but I think you guys are reaching for this anti-UK thing. Why 5 pts? Lost of games by 6 pts that we won. Several games we lost by more than 5. Come on guys.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:48 am
Caller was right… In games decided by 5 points or less and Doug Shows as referee, UK is 1-10. Incredible.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:48 am
One thing that is stupid about referees is that they assign the same guys every year to do the NCAA Tournament. There are plenty of college refs out there who are more capable of calling an unbiased game at the tournament level than any of the refs who have been around forever. I just think big schools like Kentucky deserve some different refs in big, relevant games. The guys in charge of these refs have to know that there is too much personal stuff going on between some of these refs and some coaches.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:49 am
Has anyone brought up how Poythress showed zero emotion after posterizing that guy from Vandy?
February 21st, 2013 at 11:50 am
That’s not an entirely true statement, Shows worked the Final Four last season and called UK vs. UL game and we all know how that ended up.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:51 am
As a high school ref myself, if some of you think some of these refs don’t have anything to do with Kentucky losses then you are being very naive.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:52 am
Giants won SB last year, and had a dismal season this yr with average attendance of 80.5K. Steelers having a down yr averaged 61K out of the normal of 63K. And here we are with UK who wins their 1st title in 14 years and we give up on the team bc of down year after going E8, FF, and NC? Shame on us. How can we be so complacent? It’s not like we have set a dynasty in current era?
February 21st, 2013 at 11:54 am
Hang up…this caller is an idiot.
February 21st, 2013 at 11:54 am

#276 Dude, enough, just be glad he posterized someone.
February 21st, 2013 at 12:17 pm
#40 hit the nail on the head. The committee has more leeway this year than most. While vandy is undeniably lower-tier, the grit and determination to pull out a W was admirable. Especially in a down year, if they match their intensity level for the remaining schedule, this team can claw it’s way into the big dance. #BBN does not abandon its own
February 21st, 2013 at 12:25 pm
Ernie was singing with music playing in the background when Matt took his call.
February 21st, 2013 at 1:23 pm
Ernie could have been talking to either a) a pet, saying, “buddy come on, come in, you comimg, or b) a lady, sayiing come on, come in, you coming?. Either way it was definitely smooth opperator, so no matter what he was doing, hearing that in the background, it is hilarious!
