Huge win for the Cats! You know its a big game when the Alan Cutler fathead is bobbing up and down! Its been at least 407 days since Matt mentioned the BCG uncensored podcast.
February 25th, 2013 at 9:58 am
Firsties!
February 25th, 2013 at 9:59 am
You failedies… Now let’s go to Paris!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:01 am
Hey Cat fans, heads up! …. It looks like Pete Thameltoe was snooping around Rupp on Saturday, I believe that is him to the right with the black scarf.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:01 am
Is that Rex Chapman and Snooki?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:02 am
Vitale’s most impassioned plea from Saturday night was against the popcorn being given in the press room. He probably didn’t realize that is the only food that doesn’t make Cutler’s farts unbearable.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:03 am
5 – Who’d a guessed it??? Rex going Jersey on us…..
February 25th, 2013 at 10:04 am
I can’t believe Dick Vitale doesn’t love Rupp Arena Hot Dogs!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:04 am
Is that Snookie?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:06 am
Snooky was their????
February 25th, 2013 at 10:06 am
Can we just trade the people who set near the floor for the game day crew?! Now that is what we need!!
This week for fun should be miniature golf!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:07 am
still exhausted and geeked from Gameday, downtown Lex and the game…and the after party. Lex was live and Rupp was rockin…Go CATS!!! Loudest game at Rupp I have witnessed live.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:08 am
I was at the game and I’m still pumped up. Best crowd ever. Start to finish.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:11 am
I’ve gotten it every day since February 15th
February 25th, 2013 at 10:11 am
A spot on the coaching staff next year for Julius?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:12 am
Gutsy performance from Uncle Julius…let’s chip- in and send some Bio – freeze to Wildcat Lodge to our 27 yr old senior.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:12 am
Had no clue she was their either
February 25th, 2013 at 10:13 am
Great Saturday and huge win. I drove down from Indy to game day and while I realize it was a huge crowd, I feel it could have been better without all the ticketmaster involvement. First come first serve would have created a much better environment and even more would have attended.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:13 am
Great game, still pumped! Win or lose, if that is the effort the team gives the rest of the season, i’lltake it all day long!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:13 am
I’ve retired from being first sadly… Too much pressure. It was making me nervous. Dr.Sayre has figured out how I was first. Possible new job soon. I still will be on the show thread. Just not first anymore.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:13 am
Something Crazy to Think about next year: (btw im not saying all these guys return or that we get all of them, just covering all bases)
Andrew Harrison – 6’5-210
Aaron Harrison – 6’5-210
James Young – 6’7-200
Andrew Wiggins – 6’7-190
Julius Randle – 6’9-240
Aaron Gordon – 6’9-210
Marcus Lee – 6’10-205
Dakari Johnson – 7’0-265
Alex Poythress – 6’7-210
Willie Cauley – 7’0-230
Nerlens Noel – 6’10-200
Archie Goodwin – 6’5-180
So our SMALLEST player next year is 6’5-210. That is effing RIDICULOUS! That has to be one of the largest rosters EVER!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:13 am
After the success of dodge ball and wiffle ball we need to come up some activities for the team. I suggest kickball, badminton, bowling, and my personal favorite paintball.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:15 am
On the way home from the game I stopped at Love’s in Waddy/Peytona to get some gas. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Ernie and his senorita on a late night beer run but all I saw were Cat fans.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:15 am
21 you forgot Ryan Harrow.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:15 am
MATT, did you try to pull a 50 Cent when you saw Samantha?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:15 am
My voice is just as sexy as my legs.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:16 am
Matt the hottest chick at Game Day was the make up girl. I took more more pictures of her than I did of the Game Day crew.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:16 am
24 – Ryan Harrow will not be back next year…
February 25th, 2013 at 10:17 am
Matt is going to be doing commercials in Mayalsia like Conan O’Brien
February 25th, 2013 at 10:18 am
Did I miss the Fake Barney segment on College Gameday? I didn’t see it, did they show it?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:18 am

February 25th, 2013 at 10:18 am
Gameday might result in 2 or 3 football committments. One being Thaddeus Snodgrass, who might be the best WR in Ohio when its all said and done.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:18 am
oh really?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:18 am
Did Alan Cutler try to take his fathead or did he sign and take pictures with it? I noticed him holding it and talking to some of the students but didn’t know what he was doing.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:19 am
Maybe someday a female sportscaster will be discussed without a thumbs up or down on appearance. Doubt it, but it’s a thought.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:19 am
For the record, they don’t have a Randall Cobb jersey. I tried.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:19 am
Who gave up their tickets to the Missouri fans about 5 rows up opposite the benches?? Pull their season tickets.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:19 am
Matt, you should have slapped a 50 cent kiss on Ms. Steele.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:20 am
Matt,
I thought that ESPN was going to do a segment with Fake Barney. Did I miss it or is it some how Ryan’s fault?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:22 am
Speaking of the Allan Cutler fathead, let’s play a game. How old is Allan Cutler? So old that the guy holding up the Allan Cutler fathead during the game didnt know who he was till i told him, and i only know who he is because of KSR. #Allancutlerisold
February 25th, 2013 at 10:22 am
Matt might have trouble becoming popular in Malaysia once fans find out about his controversial Badminton views and comments he made during the Summer Olympics.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:24 am
Matt, I think that the Fake Barney segment got bumped because ESPN had their I-Team looking into Jay’s disappearence.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:24 am
Matt’s right on Randle
February 25th, 2013 at 10:24 am
Matt wouldn’t read my whole name on the air…lol. GO CATS! #havingoscarsback
February 25th, 2013 at 10:24 am
34-Allan Cutler seemed cool with it, i think he took some pictures with fans
February 25th, 2013 at 10:25 am
I just dont understand the NCAA tourney “bubble talk”. I know alot of people love the Tourney, and the way it is set up, but I just dont like it. I can agree with anyone that UK is not a top 25 team…but no way is there 64 teams all better than them…even Tennessee is better than 25 of the teams that make the tourney
February 25th, 2013 at 10:25 am
some of the juniors at the game saturday:
UK junior day visitors
UK had its second junior day of the month, and like the first one on Feb. 9, it was expected to include several highly regarded Ohio prospects, most of whom have multiple major conference offers.
Some Ohioans thought likely to attend: four-star offensive lineman Nick Richardson, Westerville Central; four-star safety Darius West, Lima Central Catholic; and four-star wide receiver Thaddeus Snodgrass, Springfield High School.
Richardson is the No. 180 junior by Rivals.com, West is No. 194 and Snodgrass is No. 198
February 25th, 2013 at 10:25 am
Could you all imagine if somehow someway we got Randle, Wiggins AND Nerlens back?!? Holy cow!
You think people hate us now! hahahaha that would be Legend….wait for it….dary!!!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:25 am
Dick Vitale is Alex Poythress’ muse.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:26 am
UK Football is going after 10 guys in the Rivals top 250…and we have a lot of guys very close to breaking into the top 250. We are pursuing 2 top in top 50 and have a very good shot at landing.
Also, Just for kicks, I even called Hatcher to UK before Matt did…lol
February 25th, 2013 at 10:27 am
I think we HAVE to win the next 3 before UF to get in. I was happy and enjoyed the game Saturday, but we aren’t out of the woods yet.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:27 am
Two of the biggest plays in the game were Archie’s reverse layup on the baseline and Uncle Julius’s three pointer. huge plays!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:28 am
My MSU Dawgs buddy sums them up as follows:
“Mississippi state is a bettors gold mine because they are so bad even Vegas can’t put real lines on them. They are probably the worst team in the sec in 10 or 15 years.
Rick ray? He may be a good coach, who knows? it’s hard to say because the roster is roughly a weak div ii squad…everyone left, no time to recruit, 1 of two returnees out all season, 6 scholarship players total. Even die hard state fans don’t think there is anything that can be done with these poor bastards.
At least we weren’t pre-season top 5…that would be embarrassing.”
February 25th, 2013 at 10:28 am
Uncle Julius is like the old dude at the YMCA you can’t leave open
February 25th, 2013 at 10:29 am
Will the Post Game Show be uploaded for anyone who didn’t listen , feel asleep or were out partying? Thanks
February 25th, 2013 at 10:29 am
48**that would be great, but i doubt nerlens comes back. he’s still projected as a #3 pick. i think poythress & willy are gone, with maybe goodwin returning.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:29 am
Mike DeCourcey says that UK MUST beat either Arkansas or Florida as well as Georgia to ensure a NCAA bid, because they have only one Top 50 win (Missouri). Thoughts?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:30 am
Kuala Lumpur
February 25th, 2013 at 10:30 am
Congratulations to the Wildcats on a great game! It was an amazing atmosphere to be in attendance for – funniest thing was a guy walks into our section wearing a Kansas jacket. As it turns out he came there to root against Missouri! But the only bad thing was the two older women sitting in front of us that got up and left with about three minutes to go IN REGULATION!!!! I just don’t get it – it was 71-70 at the time!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:31 am
#46 Problem comes from the automatic bids. You have all these conferences where the teams aren’t good but they’ll get an auto-bid. So there aren’t truly 68 spots open for the tournament. There are 31 automatic bids, and only 6 major conferences. So you are really down to 33 spots. If there’s an upset in the Big 6 Conferences then the number drops even more.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:31 am
da real RLemond gonna teach chu ’bout malaysia!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:31 am
Isn’t pacquio Malaysian? But I know what Matt was mad about. It was that depressing opening montage.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:31 am
Sorry, 37 spots.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:31 am
Derek Zoolander almost killed the Prime Minister of Malaysia because he wasnt an ambiturner.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:32 am
Ryan teaches KSR about Malaysia…haha, you can’t make this shit up. Good to see you at Rupp, man!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:32 am
51 — Tend to agree.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:33 am
Maylasia is beautiful!! Tropical, ocean breeze all the time. Capital city, Kuala Lumpur. Sigapore is on the same pennisula. I’ve travel there…just beautiful!
Go Cats!!! Big Blue Nation forever!!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:33 am
#35. I wonder as well. Gets to be a little uncomfortable.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:33 am
Is there any worse team at taking charges in the country? Ever since Cal has been here we have blocked everything and didnt need to step in. Anthony Davis was terrible last year and they were several in the Mizzou game when we just flopped.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:34 am
* Singapore….sorry about the spelling
February 25th, 2013 at 10:34 am
I can see Uncle Julius at the YMCA with like four braces on his knees and ankles, but still ballin.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:35 am
Heaven forbid a guy see an attractive girl and comment on it.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:35 am
Hopefully one day people will talk about the interview sessions at the Miss America Pageants and not about the looks of the ladies :/
February 25th, 2013 at 10:36 am
G-Unit, you forgot to put Kyle in your lineup – another 6’10″ player on the roster who is sure to be back.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:36 am
The Wrestler is based on Randy “The Ram” Robinson. BTW try my Barbie Q sauce!!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:36 am
****Malaysia….dang, I need to wake up
February 25th, 2013 at 10:37 am
Somebody should have put some ridiculous stuff on Malaysia Wikipedia to see if Ryan takes the bait
February 25th, 2013 at 10:37 am
You should give the fat head to some random person student or frat/sorority at UK under the promise that they have to pass it on when they leave UK. So 40 years from now, there will be a tattered up fat head of Alan Cutler in some college basement behind a beer pong table.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:37 am
Where do you order the fatheads? and how much do they cost?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:37 am
One caller referred to Ryan as a cricket! Horrible.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:37 am
I KNEW it was from a Louisville show once I heard them repeatedly saying “They” instead of “we” and all of the times they said “U of K” instead of “UK” – that was all I needed to know it was a Louisville show
February 25th, 2013 at 10:38 am
Oddly enough I’ve never heard Shannon the dude talk about pushing up on Shelley Smith from ESPN.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:38 am
also known as Lex Luger.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:38 am
Why didn’t ESPN play the Truth’s call talking about the Evansville ball?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:39 am
I saw a lady in orange…was the “the” lady in orange?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:39 am
I thought what ESPN did to the team was awful and demeaning and somebody needs to let them know it.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:39 am
Stipanovich went to Missouri, he was pretty good.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:40 am
Little help for Ryan,in Malasia you point with your thumb not with your finger.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:40 am
Is Willie playing himself into a 1st round pick?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:41 am
Daraki Johnson is a big ‘ol boy and loved the S/O from the students at Gameday. Great impression for the future CAT.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:41 am
Steve Stepanovich was a very good player — probably made somebody’s third-team All-American, and Matt never heard of him. Kids today…
February 25th, 2013 at 10:41 am
Steve Stipanovich played 5 years with the Pacers and scored 5323 points…and Danny is right, he was highly recruited out of high school
February 25th, 2013 at 10:41 am
The foot stabber is probably Malaysian. They are very particular about shoes in buildings.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:41 am
per wikipedia – this is what we lost when we didnt get Steve Stepanovich: On the evening of Dec. 27, 1980 Stipanovich accidentally discharged a loaded firearm, hitting himself in the shoulder. He initially told police that a masked intruder, wearing cowboy boots and a flannel shirt broke into his apartment on Sunrise Drive in Columbia, Missouri, and shot him while screaming obscenities about basketball players.
The next day Stipanovich recanted the story and admitted that he shot himself by accident.5
February 25th, 2013 at 10:42 am
Danny kind of reminds me of what Lou Holtz ‘should’ sound like. He starts his next word before he finishes the one he’s saying.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:42 am
Swoop’s tip-in to beat Louisville.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:43 am
During GameDay on Saturday on the front row there was a poster of a little kid? I have been wondering ever since who it was…anyone know?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:44 am
ESPN S U C K S!!!!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:44 am
speaking of final shot, what about Anthony Davis block against Jon Henson last year to win.
John Wall vs. Miami Ohio in his first game at UK game winner
February 25th, 2013 at 10:44 am
Have there been bigger ‘almost went in’ shots in UK history?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:44 am
What about Sparks at Louisville or Meeks against Florida???
February 25th, 2013 at 10:45 am
It would be right there as the best shot in Rupp. Ced Jenkins tip was against the Dirty Birds so that made it #1. Didn’t Meeks have a huge 3 in the BCG era against Florida?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:45 am
might have been the biggest,but i think going to overtime served us better because we dominated in ot, had to really make these guys feel great about where they gan go from here
February 25th, 2013 at 10:45 am
Matt,
Do you think that Kyle has struggled recently because teams now game plan for him?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:45 am
Zoolander- child labor, Mugatu brainwashed derek zoolander to kill the prime minister of Malaysia
February 25th, 2013 at 10:45 am
@ #97 — looked like a young Jon Hood to me.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:46 am
Hot Wheels are big in Malaysia. I remember reading on the bottom of all my hot wheels, ‘Made in Malaysia’
February 25th, 2013 at 10:47 am
There was the former CAT who tipped – in the GW shot in the Maui Invitational…
BRASSOW!!!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:47 am
Malaysia used to be called Burma. High school Geo. How cone they don’t know this
February 25th, 2013 at 10:47 am
Meeks did have a huge 3 with Nick Calathes in his face
February 25th, 2013 at 10:47 am
liggins three against unc and knight against osu in the NCAA tourney.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:47 am
So Argo won best picture – one of the producers is from Kentucky
Best Actress went to a Kentucky girl
Best Actor winnner played a character born in Kentucky (Lincoln)
Lot of Kentucky flavor at the Oscars
February 25th, 2013 at 10:47 am
Prediction: Ryan wilt sayeth something about Kuala-Lumpur being a furry mammal.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:48 am
Matt, if you want to flatter Nick Bolateri, read his autobiography “My Aces, My Faults” …
February 25th, 2013 at 10:48 am
Myanmar used to be Burma
February 25th, 2013 at 10:48 am
G-Unit, why do you say harrow wont be back next year?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:49 am
That was the Traveling Willberries you ding dongs!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:49 am
I want Willie to stay more than anyone. He is just the coolest guy. I love one of his interviews when he kept asking the interviewer “what do you mean?” when he asked a question. It wasn’t rude. He was trying to understand. He’s just a cerebral guy.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:49 am
111 – neither of those were AT Rupp
February 25th, 2013 at 10:49 am
110…exactly right. Meeks made his off – balance three and Calathes missed his FTs in front of the eRupption Zone.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:49 am
109 – that’s Myanmar…
February 25th, 2013 at 10:49 am
97- I think u are talking about honey boo-boo!! They had a fathead of her mom in the student section too lol from the show “here comes honey booboo”
February 25th, 2013 at 10:50 am
Brandon, did you ever think he world call it Kahlua Lampoon?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:50 am
Can Ryan break down the elections and give his predictions for Malaysia?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:50 am
#111 He said biggest shot in Rupp. Learn to listen.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:51 am
Ryan’s trying to start a East Coast West Coast war in Malaysia!!!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:51 am
If that shot went in I would have run straight to cheapside to take/help create “The Last Shot” – a curious mixture of Dry Gin (in the the spirit of Old Uncle Mays),blue caracao and absynthe. Shot can only be taken with the whole bar counting down from 5. Instead of taking the shot you can take the easy way out and offer it up to your bar buddy in the final 2 seconds. Most will choose to take their chances on their own inspired by the showing in Rupp, but will cite they weren’t aware of the option to pass it off as an excuse.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:51 am
Matt…Do you know why they distributed the tickets for game day the way they did…Whay not give out all the lowers before you do the uppers…It would of looked much better for tv to have the lower arena filled snstead of folks scattered everywhere…
February 25th, 2013 at 10:52 am
BTW…Unfortunately, George Harrison passed away around 2003. The “I got my mind set on you” song was off of Harrison’s Cloud Nine album from 1987. I bought it while in college at WKU.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:52 am
The Malaysian twin towers are the Petronas Towers. They were featured in the movie Entrapment with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Also don’t forget the Prime Minister of Malaysia, who barely escaped death at the hands of a hypnotized Derek Zoolander.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:52 am
Wasn’t that caller talking about jump stops and Matt started talking about floaters?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:52 am
I had a few big shots in Rupp during my time there. I would like to thank the flask on the inside pocket of my jacket.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:52 am
When you come to a jump-stop, you’re not supposed to be able to move either foot. You got to go back up off of two feet, or it’s a walk. Unfortunately, refs have gotten away from calling it that way, and guys are getting away with a hop, skip and a jump (so to speak).
February 25th, 2013 at 10:52 am
I think Obama recently visited Malaysua
February 25th, 2013 at 10:52 am
117 – nope. and you spelled Wilburys wrong
February 25th, 2013 at 10:53 am
122 – I saw Honey Boo-Boo…this one was behind the stage and looked like an older picture.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:53 am
If you are interested in escaping, Malaysia offers 90 day landing visa for US tourists and then you can jump across the border to Brunei every 3 months for a day trip and stay on that island forever, Kota Kinabalu is the main city
February 25th, 2013 at 10:54 am
when I was at UK in mid – late 80′s, the student section was on the side line, right at half court… and the band was in section beside them…
February 25th, 2013 at 10:54 am
Whats wrong w/ rich people spending alot of money?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:54 am
Matt – In Asia, Badminton is as popular as Tennis here and of course you can play badminton in your backyard (the court size should be smaller or similar to beach volley ball)
February 25th, 2013 at 10:54 am
Matt, Unfortunatly I wasn’t able to make it to the game Saturday. I wanted to know if you thought it was as loud as the Indiana game last year during the tournament? I was at that game and it was LOUD!!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:55 am
136- sorry I’m not sure I saw that one
February 25th, 2013 at 10:55 am
Don’t blame the Herald Leader for the donor expose. Blame that doofus running the massive multi-layered marketing scheme. Because of his monetary “investment” in the UK basketball program, he brought that scrutiny on all the others.
http://www.kentucky.com/2013/01/28/2493747/federal-state-officials-send-workers.html
February 25th, 2013 at 10:55 am
Matt I feel the same way about how the herald leader posts salaries of UK staff. I understand it for professor’s and surgeons making $200,000 a year but really is it necessary to post custodian’s salaries. that is just tacky!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:55 am
The Petronas towers that Ryan is talking about in Malaysia were featured in the movie Entrapment. That movie is notable for Catherine Zeta Jones bending beneath lasers.

The LHL didn’t even highlight 90% of our biggest boosters. They just picked people who had donated to the Wildcat Reserve in the last year. Even the donations of each of those people were not accurate or properly explained. They hurt UK by doing this as they effectively make it harder to raise money.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:56 am
Matt,
You are just trying to keep all of your fingers.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:56 am
Matt loves the Bachelor and the Big Brother live feed. I am pretty sure he would also watch his neighbors on a live webcam.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:56 am
133 — I’m a referee and you are wrong. As long as the feet come down to the ground simultaneously, the player has the ability to use a pivot foot. Another variation of the rule allows for a jump, landing on one foot and then jumping again and landing on both feet. At that point though, you may not use a pivot.

Did you guys see Derek’s twitter war after game with two different people?
February 25th, 2013 at 10:57 am
Remember when Uncle Julius’ HS school coach wasn’t happy he picked UK?
Joe Luce, Mays’ high school coach in Marion, Ind., was not happy with the decision.
“Just think it’s a bad fit at Kentucky,” he tweeted. “I just want him to be happy and successful. Don’t think UK knows him.”

February 25th, 2013 at 10:57 am
Could anyone let me know what is “Team NF”? Thanks!
February 25th, 2013 at 10:58 am
what is team nf
February 25th, 2013 at 10:58 am
Someone please explain the team NF thing to me
February 25th, 2013 at 10:58 am
I totally agree with that caller about the jump stops though. Archie Goodwin needs to watch tape on Tony Delk and ol’ double-zero would show him how it’s done.
February 25th, 2013 at 10:59 am
I have a NASCAR question:
If you have a protective fence around the grandstand that isn’t sturdy enough to protect fans, is it just there to obstruct the view?
That would be like having single strength glass around a hockey arena or a cargo net for a baseball backstop screen…..

February 25th, 2013 at 11:05 am
Matt, how big of an impact do you think this game had on FOOTBALL recruiting? I don’t think jr day could have fallen on a better weekend with a better atmosphere. The momentum the stoops staff has is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in this program and rupp rocking with game day and an exciting overtime win had to be fun for any recruits there.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:05 am

Matt, u were just talking about how Julius seems to have one of those shots that come at the most important time during the game and Saturday was no different. The shot clock shot was huge, but he had another one that put us up four, he’s mr. Clutch!
February 25th, 2013 at 11:08 am
#157 There’s not a lot more that can be done. I think it’s an accepted risk. If a car flies at a fence going 200 mph, the results aren’t going to be perfect.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:08 am
For once can we talk about Malaysia without bringing up Credit Card fraud?
February 25th, 2013 at 11:09 am
Matt,
Mays’ HS coach wanted him to go to Purdue instead of UK because he thought he would have a bigger impact and he is friends with Painter.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:11 am
The guy in the sweater vest in the picture above looks like someone that would have refused to stand at the game.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:13 am
Kudos to Thompson for calling it the way she sees it. They are “blue hairs”, and they can be incredibly annoying. Case in point is that lady berating Thompson for something like that.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:13 am
I don’t know if u guys remember my pic from last Easter where I was holding three goggles on Doron, one of triplet lambs miraculously born here in Mendocino, CA during the UK vs UL Final Four game. It saddens me to have to share with you guys that Doron is no longer with us. In spite of my efforts to save him, he was sent to the slaughter house where he will be processed, frozen and eventually eaten by a bunch of dirty hippies who refuse to eat beef “on principle”, refuse to eat McDonalds because “it’s poison” but smoke cigarettes and hate on sports as a waste of time while they spend the afternoon in a drum circle. Doron, you did not die in vain. Your memory lives in the hearts of the BBN forever. Think we can get the team to dedicate the Miss St game to him and wear a patch in his honor? #RememberDoronLamb

The Team NF was discussed in another post.
The most expressed definement was
N= No
F= a word that rhymes with ducks.
smooth about a phrase a recent former UK player was quoted(?) as saying after/during a game.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:14 am
Coach Cal and UK was the main topic in the final minutes of the Thunder’s blowout of the Bulls last night. With 4 UK alum playing for the two teams and Rose. Did anyone else hear it?
February 25th, 2013 at 11:14 am
The biggest shots ever made for UK were the 5 straight halfcourt heaves made in a roll from Josh Carrier…. Granted, they were in practice.. But still huge. #Beast
February 25th, 2013 at 11:14 am
I was at the Florida game when Meeks hit the 3 to win the game when Florida was ranked and UK was headed to the NIT under Billy Clyde. I wouldn’t say that it would be bigger than what Mays shot would have been, but that is in the top of big shots at Rupp. The crowd Friday night was amazing. I got to take a picture with Samantha Ponder afterwards, she supported the 3 goggles with me.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:15 am

The lady that called Tyler is lucky that it was Tyler. I think Drew would have told her to have a Coke and a smile and shut the F up!
February 25th, 2013 at 11:15 am
I wish she would write a whole piece about the blue-hairs. The purpose of going to a game is to cheer your team on to victory; not sit in you seat with your arms folded and nod-off. The most fun I have ever had at a UK game (and the loudest I have ever been to) is when we played ND in freedom hall 2 years ago and there weren’t very many blue-hairs there.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:16 am
Matt, Are there podcast of your post game shows out there?
February 25th, 2013 at 11:17 am
Why wouldn’t harrow be back? He’s only a sophmore. If cal is giving up on him that is silly. He didn’t give up on liggins,and that turned out to be a pretty good decision. Harrow could be really good by his senior year.

Matt, there wasn’t a LOT of cocaine in it, but it got the name coca-cola because coca leaves and cola nut were the two big ingredients. A small amount of cocaine was in the beverage, enough to cause a small effect. But this was back around 1900 when things like coca and morphine were available over the counter.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:19 am
Coke was made at pharmacies by pharmacist and the cocaine was added for therapeutic reasons. Just as a side note, Pepsi was originally made to soothe upset stomach, hence the name PEPsi.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:19 am
Matt…STOP IT!!…As long as we don’t lose over 1-2 more we are in good shape…No sec team with 12 conf. wins has not made the tourney…
February 25th, 2013 at 11:19 am
Coca-Cola was originally marketed as a medicine, and did contain coca leaf extract. There is also one company which still imports coca for medical cocaine use, and Coca-Cola buys the used leaves for flavoring
February 25th, 2013 at 11:20 am
It’s common knowledge that the world’s most famous secret recipe once contained cocaine; what’s less known is that Coke still uses a coca leaf extract made by the Stepan Company (SCL), the only company in the U.S. that is allowed to process cocaine.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:20 am
Pemberton called for five ounces of coca leaf per gallon of syrup, a significant dose; in 1891, Candler claimed his formula (altered extensively from Pemberton’s original) contained only a tenth of this amount. Coca-Cola once contained an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass. In 1903, it was removed.[40]
After 1904, instead of using fresh leaves, Coca-Cola started using “spent” leaves – the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with trace levels of cocaine.[41] Coca-Cola now uses a cocaine-free coca leaf extract prepared at a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey.
In the United States, the Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant,[42] which it obtains mainly from Peru and, to a lesser extent, Bolivia. Besides producing the coca flavoring agent for Coca-Cola, the Stepan Company extracts cocaine from the coca leaves, which it sells to Mallinckrodt, a St. Louis, Missouri, pharmaceutical manufacturer that is the only company in the United States licensed to purify cocaine for medicinal use.[43]

I hope we do not have a listless, flat crowd for the game against Miss St. wednesday night. Andrew Wiggins will be at that game for his official visit, so hopefully the crowd will be alive, but I am worried that we will have a hangover from the weekend, and MSU is terrible. I will be in section 23 making all the blue hairs around me mad!

Matt’s attempt to make the caller a racist backfired when he said his other favorites were Noel and Poythress. He was totally expecting him to say Polson…and Brian Long.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:26 am
Kyle is one of the best post passers I’ve ever seen
February 25th, 2013 at 11:28 am
Kyle may need to practice adjusting to shooting w/o taking the full stop, set, and shoot routine… He’s so good of a shooter, we need him attempting more, even if the are quicker, I like his chances.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:29 am
Matt, that’s horse S! The WHOLE team can’t play defense. How many times have the guards been beat off of the dribble? How many times have shooters been wide effin open? Our defense as a whole besides Wiltjer has been awful this year. So that lack of defense excuse is turrible.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:29 am
Matt you’re Dickie V’s BFF. You mean to tell me you didn’t go up and get his meal from the concession stands for him. What a terrible friend!
February 25th, 2013 at 11:30 am
Maybe in the press room Vitale is limited to that, but I’m sure he can enter the K-Fund Club and help himself to the pretty good food they have in there.

February 25th, 2013 at 11:35 am
Some people just get mad that Wiltjer doesn’t play 100% of the time for the same reason they think Polson and Hood should get major minutes….
February 25th, 2013 at 11:36 am
The WHOLE teams has played bad defense. How many times have you seen Goodwin and Harrow get beat off of the dribble? Time and time again. But no one ever mentions their poor defense. EVER! Just saying….
February 25th, 2013 at 11:36 am
#203 I agree but I think Matt automatically went to that because it’s become so common this season. Been pretty embarrassing.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:37 am
88 MPH dodgeball – That would leave a mark.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:37 am
I get mad when people overlook other players defensive defencies. We have been the WORST on the ball defensive team we have had in a long time. Just pay attention the next game and count the times our guys get beat off of the dribble.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:38 am
This guy holds the fastest throw record in the UK @ 66 mph.

February 25th, 2013 at 11:38 am
Matt,
I’m not really upset about anything, however I feel left out by not having anything to complain about. With that said, why doesn’t John Hood play more often and why do you deny dodge ball throwing records?
February 25th, 2013 at 11:39 am
record from Hopkins is 81 mph
http://kykernel.com/2013/02/06/uk-dodgeball-team-hosting-nationals/
February 25th, 2013 at 11:39 am
He can throw it 81, according to this website.

I want to believe Dustin. Matt doubted me on the North Hollywood shoot out. We saw how that turned out…
“so famous I have never heard about it??” Lol
February 25th, 2013 at 11:39 am
Matt…Fastest baseball pitch ever recorded is Aroldis Chapman of the Reds @ 105
February 25th, 2013 at 11:40 am
88 mph dodgeball makes him the deadliest man on the planet with balls!
February 25th, 2013 at 11:41 am
If the ball is a bit underinflated you can throw it extremely hard. You have to squeeze it with your fingers in such a way that it creates a handle and use it as an extra lever.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:41 am
Matt was smacked down and will not admit it.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:42 am
Kid on the Cubs was throwing over 115MPH but he hurt his arm and his velocity was never the same.

February 25th, 2013 at 11:43 am
I heard that one time Ryan threw a medicine ball 81 mph !!!!!
February 25th, 2013 at 11:43 am
Dodge ball is supposed to be fun. You start throwing it 80 mph at me, then I’m not having fun.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:43 am
Matt,
If Archie would have gotten the pass and dunks to win it. Is it ok for the students to rush?
February 25th, 2013 at 11:44 am

Ryan: “I didn’t watch one minute of it.”
Matt: “Argo won Best Picture.”
Ryan: “Yeah, I saw that.”
February 25th, 2013 at 11:46 am
230- there is no possible scenario where it would be “OK” for UK to rush the court in basketball.
If that were to happen, that would be the lowest point in Kentucky basketball history ( lower than the Billy Clyde era or Probation)
February 25th, 2013 at 11:46 am
Part of the problem with UK’s lack of guard defense stems from the fact that with having Davis and Noel inside over the past two years the defensive strategy has been to force opposing guards to drive the lane where the best shot blockers in the country were waiting. Now that Noel is out we do not have that presents, however it takes a lot of adjusting to change that strategy now. Having stated that, our guards are not the quickest and therefore this team will likely continue to get beat off the dribble.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:46 am
im pretty sure it wasnt 98 when michigan state won it
February 25th, 2013 at 11:46 am
Matt – I was SO disappointed that you didn’t mention a word about the most awarded movie “Life of PI” directed by Ang Lee (my favorite Taiwanese director)
February 25th, 2013 at 11:46 am
Plans should be made for a show where everybody, including the callers must sing.

#230 It will never be acceptable for UK to rush the court. We are the best program in the history of basketball. No win justifies it for UK.

February 25th, 2013 at 11:48 am
If this guy could get his throw up to 88 mph and get a flux compasador than he could time travel.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:49 am

J in Orlando- I disagree with that as well. I was in New Orleans last year for the championship and it never crossed my mind, or anybody around me in the UK’s section to do such.
We are the most elite program in college basketball history.
We should expect to win every game.
Would Alabama rush the field for winning a football game?
Never.

February 25th, 2013 at 11:56 am
No, UK fans should never rush the court.
3257, fans cannot rush the court after final four games.
Too much security and must keep floor clear for the after game ceremony.
Although, I agree that UK fans should not rush after a championship either.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:56 am
Why do people call in wanting a white-boy on the court? No one ever called when Twanny was healthy and wasn’t getting in saying, “Why isn’t Twanny playing?”
February 25th, 2013 at 11:58 am
I meant to type # 257.
Again too much security to rush the floor after a championship game…it never happens.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:59 am
263- I could care less if he is white. He is our best shooter and when he is in the game, the offense opens up because of his shooting. You watch the first 4 minutes of the game and we always struggle until he comes in. And our defense isn’t that good anyways, so him being in there isn’t that much worse than we already have in there.
February 25th, 2013 at 12:00 pm
264-259
I don’t know if there is ever “too much” security for 35,000 people stampeding a court.
If people wanted to do it, it couldn’t necessarily be stopped
February 25th, 2013 at 12:03 pm
I have been to 6 final fours and it has never happened.
After a championship game security lines the entire court.
Also, winning fans want to watch their team receive the hardware.
Yes, there is enough security and it does not happen.
