[Moderated by Matt Jones]

Our favorite UK fan Ashley Judd did an interview with the Austin Texas newspaper in which she made her first comment about Billy Clyde and the UK program since the new coach took over.
Afterward, I asked her about her beloved Kentucky Wildcat basketball team. When I asked if she liked her new coach, ex-Aggie Billy Gillispie, she smiled, raised an eyebrow and said, “I like Patrick Patterson. That’s an auspicious start.” The Hollywood actress keeps up with all things Kentucky and knew that Gillispie had landed the top power forward recruit to go with shooting guard Alex Legion from Oak Hill Academy
Interesting comments….but knowing about Patterson and Legion makes me think that deep down, Ashley must be a Kentucky Sports Radio fan……Ashley, if you are reading this, write me at matt.jones@kentuckysportsradio.com…..it would seriously make my life….and I promise not to try and take you from Dario…..but I cant promise what Hubby will do

Damn. just missed
May 31st, 2007 at 11:01 am
She is an amazing recruiting tool. You think ol’ PP is feeling good about his decision now?
May 31st, 2007 at 11:03 am
AAAHHHHH
May 31st, 2007 at 11:05 am
I love Ashley Judd!!!
May 31st, 2007 at 11:08 am
come on guys.. i love her but she is getting old
May 31st, 2007 at 11:08 am
Who cares? She’s still hot as hell!
May 31st, 2007 at 11:10 am
anyone see BUG?
May 31st, 2007 at 11:10 am
Billy Clyde should invite Ashley to be a guest speaker at the Elite camp.

You are an idiot. Having a celebrity alum who attends games AND keeps up with the team is invaluable.
May 31st, 2007 at 11:10 am
Seems to me people want to take her comments negatively. I don’t think that is what she means. I think she doesn’t really know much about BG yet and was a Tubby fan. She’ll warm up to him when we start playing, like everybody else who isn’t on the bandwagon yet.
May 31st, 2007 at 11:12 am
i have a strange urge to listen to bocephus?
May 31st, 2007 at 11:15 am
must mean she likes young dudes
May 31st, 2007 at 11:15 am
Anyone else’s wives not like Ashley? Anytime I bring her up involving UK or whatever I get a look…I’ve never commented on
her looks or anything like that…
May 31st, 2007 at 11:18 am
“Interesting comments….but knowing about Patterson and Legion makes me think that deep down, Ashley must be a Kentucky Sports Radio fan……”
Probably not , she also knew how to use the word “auspicious” correctly in a sentence, so that probably rules that out.
May 31st, 2007 at 11:18 am
In the late 90’s I attended Tubby basketball camp for kids and Ashley Judd made a guest appearance, one of my favorite memories…maybe Billy G could get her to be a guest speaker at the Elite camp??
May 31st, 2007 at 11:20 am
I remember when she was shacking up with Tony Delk, and God knows how many others. Hope PP likes sloppy 238ths. I would (with her)!!!!!!!
May 31st, 2007 at 11:23 am
I like Ashley Judd, however, if I were a young basketball prospect, her being a UK fan would mean little to me.
May 31st, 2007 at 11:28 am
think Ashley sees a little “tony delk” in PP?
May 31st, 2007 at 11:29 am
18. She was never with Tony Delk!! Although I did see
her run naked through a party one time in Lexington. She was
making her way to the hot tub, with many other hot chics. No secret
she likes women!
May 31st, 2007 at 11:30 am
Damn, Franchitti is on top of the world to a point that is sick. I’m openly jealous….Ashley, the 500, Reds practice…
May 31st, 2007 at 11:32 am
At least she’ not an ugly toothless fan yelling “Go Cats”! I’m glad UK has her support.
Did anyone see that Karl Malone has accepted an assistant coaching position at Louisianna Tech? They’ll be landing some major recruits now.
May 31st, 2007 at 11:35 am
Well come on fellas…I don’t think the university would allow us to use strippers to draw in the young men. She (Ashley) is the most attractive star we have out of UK who is not an athlete (she she is a good actress, which most are not these days). So looks she has..and talent..yeah…age..c;mon…I’m older…lol and I think her beauty is ageless…lol (yeah I like her too matt)
May 31st, 2007 at 11:38 am
#23, True ‘at
This Karl Malone?
May 31st, 2007 at 11:39 am
She is HOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! period
May 31st, 2007 at 11:44 am
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2888007
There’s the Malone link– looks like he’s not an assistant coach– he’s the strength & conditioning coach. Oh & he’s donating a bunch of money…. Doesn’t UK need a new strength guy? Looks like we missed out! lol
May 31st, 2007 at 11:45 am
SEE– we could be stuck with Wynonna Judd being our big celebratory supporter instead of the “hot one”!!!
May 31st, 2007 at 11:49 am
If you get them drunk, you can do both. - True story.
May 31st, 2007 at 11:53 am
as I do think that Ashley Judd is a hot piece, remember the UK hockey calendars?, it would be nice to get a new hot UK celebrity fan on the sidelines, just to take the spot for Ashley when she is too old to be truly hot..it’s like recruiting, you have to look ahead to stay ahead..we need someone that the TV cameras will navigate to just like they do with Ashley now..any suggestions…maybe former Miss America Tara Conner..I don’t know if she is a UK fan but she is definately HOT!!
May 31st, 2007 at 11:58 am
Living in Williamson County in Tennessee I am always on the lookout for Ashley. I did see her big sister(no pun intended)one time in Target and she was looking a little rough. Ashley is hot, intelligent and a good representative for UK period. She is one of the few movie stars I actually care to hear speak outside of the movie business.
May 31st, 2007 at 11:59 am
30) Sounds a little biased to me– Tara Conner is from ADAIR county!!! LOL
But, I agree– always safe to look ahead. She’d do it just to be featured in a picture.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:00 pm
Sad.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:01 pm
31, there’s a Kentucky girl, Chrishelle Stause, that’s on All My children. She might be a Kentucky fan but I think she went to Murray State. She’d look good on the hockey poster. I don’t really know anything about her though. Someone else told me about her.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:02 pm
Oops, I meant my comment for 30 not 31. Sorry
May 31st, 2007 at 12:03 pm

Leave my wife out of this you Guido Bandido horndogs.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:04 pm
I had a lovely time last night Dario!
May 31st, 2007 at 12:05 pm
As did I, Wy, as did I.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:07 pm
There’s also Farrah Fath– she’s from Lexington & was on Days of Our Lives for a few years. She’s only in her early-mid 20s. And, Laura Bell Bundy– she’s the lead in the Broadway musical “Legally Blond”. BUT– most people wouldn’t recognize any of these people like they know Judd. Could just be another pretty face in a photo. We need star power! Like recruiting, we need 4 & 5 star actresses, not 1 & 2 star…
May 31st, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Tara Conner is from Russell Springs which is Russell County, not Adair.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Hey Dario, don’t you know how to spell your last name?
May 31st, 2007 at 12:09 pm
Can we trade George Clooney for Sandra Bullock?
May 31st, 2007 at 12:10 pm
ANARCHY IN THE UK !!!!!!!!!!!!! NO TO CENSORSHIP !!!!!!!!!!!
May 31st, 2007 at 12:11 pm
Even I know that Louisville fan’s don’t deserve freedom.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:13 pm
Why not make Ashley one of our assistants? She would be dynamite on the recruiting trail!
May 31st, 2007 at 12:19 pm
The girl who was a UK student on the Spike TV contest ,Bailey, does anyone know if she won that contest? I know I voted for her but I did not find out the final results..Matt posted the link last month I believe. She was hot!!

#48..yeah she grew up pretty close from where I’m originally from..Adair Co. did have a Ms. KY a few years ago, Lizzie Arnold..she was very hot and a nice girl..she dated Nick Lachey for a little bit, but she is not famous enough by any means to be the next Ashley Judd..I don’t know how I turned this into a thread about KY girls but I did.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:24 pm
(Remember we also need a squeaky clean rep!!lol, being KY we will get scrutinized for anything!)
May 31st, 2007 at 12:25 pm
#49..their brother went to high school with me…they are from Casey Co. and went to Lindsey Wilson..I forgot about them…they would look good in a UK Tee on the tellie!!
May 31st, 2007 at 12:26 pm
51) So the Costello twins are out then??? LOL They’re really nice girls, seriously.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:26 pm
52) which brother– T or C?
May 31st, 2007 at 12:27 pm
30 Tara Conner has already done the UK hocky poster. The only one I have seen is hanging up in Blimpie in Palomar Center.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:29 pm
I love Ashley Judd more than Billy Clyde!
May 31st, 2007 at 12:29 pm

May 31st, 2007 at 12:30 pm
#55..I didn’t know she had done one yet..I would like to see that
May 31st, 2007 at 12:30 pm
WHO ARE YOU?? Did you play b-ball?
May 31st, 2007 at 12:30 pm
53) Spoken like someone who knows the twins (Costello(s) Friends?
May 31st, 2007 at 12:31 pm
Yes, knew them very well– dated one of their brothers.
May 31st, 2007 at 12:33 pm
59) is your last name Camfield?
May 31st, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Judd is hot no doubt, but no love for Clint Eastwood on his 77th birthday Matt?

May 31st, 2007 at 1:10 pm
68) I believe #62 is from Campbellsville…
May 31st, 2007 at 1:13 pm
I’m glad Ashley Judd keeps up with recruiting, I Remember her making the statement “I Hope UK gets Lamar Odom” She’s a diehard fan that’s for sure.
May 31st, 2007 at 1:22 pm
Ha, I was looking at the AmyHayes.com website…She did the poster for UK 2003-2004 hockey…
On her website it says her fiance is Jeff Brassow…that bastard stole my dream girl, lucky sob.
May 31st, 2007 at 1:24 pm
#71..go back to the hole in the ground you came from.
May 31st, 2007 at 1:24 pm
#71,
cough…
what does that make Rebecca Manns?
May 31st, 2007 at 1:36 pm
Ok, anyone who thinks Ashley is getting old is way too young to be on this board, or even play with himself, for that matter.
She has only one major problem: she’s a liberal, just like Clooney. I’ve always tried very hard not to hold that against her. Besides, if Ashley were “out of the picture,” Vitale would have a heart attack.
On the other hand, maybe that’s not really that bad!
May 31st, 2007 at 1:39 pm
Hey…I thought us UK fans blackballed Dick V from the Blue…since he gave us (fans) all the heat!
May 31st, 2007 at 1:45 pm
she’s a liberal
Nothing wrong with that - most of the people in the 1st World are liberals.
May 31st, 2007 at 1:50 pm
I’m not thrilled that she’s a liberal, but aren’t all entertainers liberals? I think it is the in thing to do if your a celebrity…either way she is a UK fan, and that’s all I care about
May 31st, 2007 at 1:50 pm
“most of the people in the 1st world are liberals” - gross misrepresentation of the truth.
May 31st, 2007 at 1:52 pm
78.
No, most people in the 1st world ARE liberals - that is how it came to be the 1st world.
Just like most people in the 3rd world are conservatives (just look at al-Qaeda, can’t get much more conservative than al-Qaeda).
May 31st, 2007 at 1:54 pm
Who gives a shit.
May 31st, 2007 at 1:55 pm
Take the political debate to the political board.
May 31st, 2007 at 1:56 pm
Only Right Wingers care to argue about such nonsense. Let it go already. Go write Bill O’Reilly if you want to vent about your party.
May 31st, 2007 at 1:58 pm
82) very funny….(and true)
May 31st, 2007 at 1:59 pm
Favorite Ashley Judd movie????? Mine would be Kiss the Girls.

People need to stop using sports blogs as forums to vent their hatred of ‘liberals’ (usually misapplying the term)
May 31st, 2007 at 2:08 pm
86) I agree…democrat does not mean liberal…lol (bad word eh?)
May 31st, 2007 at 2:11 pm
Again, who gives a shit .
May 31st, 2007 at 2:13 pm
Seriously, Ash, if you do read this, drop me a line. We went to school together in 1987-1988. You just don’t remember me……HAHAHA. And I can keep my hair cut, unlike Mr. Matt Jones. You can take me out in public!
May 31st, 2007 at 2:13 pm
87.
Liberal doesn’t even mean what people think it means.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:15 pm
86–I agree, but liberals need to quit bashing conservatives as well. It’s a 2 way street.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:17 pm
That is awesome #85

May 31st, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Back to good looking KY babes…
Who was that model in SI a few years ago in waders?
She also starred in that Las Vegas casino show with James Caan?
I’m pretty sure she was a KY girl.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:27 pm
Molly Sims! she’s hot
May 31st, 2007 at 2:28 pm

Conservatives pretty much suck ass as well.
Libertarian is the way to go.
But the only thing worse than a Neo-Con is Liberal.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:38 pm
Molly Sims is one hot piece! I know because I hooked up with her. Well no not really, but I had a friend that did and they got-it-on! Okay maybe not. I think she is from KY though.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:41 pm
Jai Lucas feels like a complete fool if that goes down. Wait until the last moment to pick a school so as to let the dust settle on coaching changes and such AND THEN pick THE coach most likely to move on to the NBA.
What great decision making. Makes one wonder why he didn’t just commit in the 10th Grade.
May 31st, 2007 at 2:42 pm

‘oh yes invaluable to the team celebrities catching the eye of young recruits haha hehe i know lots about recruits and take it so seriously you are an idiot! haha victory!’
May 31st, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Most people in the first world really are “liberals”
Americans use the terms Liberals and Conservatives in reference to the Democratic and Republican parties but on the grand political scale from Communisim on the left to Fasicism? on the right all of us here in America are technically classic liberalists. Repbulicans and Democrats are so divided its funny because in the grand scheme of things they really arent that different.
May 31st, 2007 at 3:28 pm
Is this a KSR blog or freakin CNN?
May 31st, 2007 at 3:36 pm
Come on people.
It is clear that Ashley was saying that she likes BG.
When she says she likes PP she is saying that she likes BG.
Maybe some are just not smart enough to under stand the inference.
May 31st, 2007 at 4:01 pm
103) Molly Sims is a good call– she is from KY. Yes, I am from C-ville (VnK– you have a GREAT memory). Feese, huh? Does your name start with a B?

Shes going to leave Dario for Billy G. just watch and see. I mean come on he is single, the head coach at UK and has to be a smooth talker, i mean how else can he get all those recruits haha. I gurantee that there is a bet between the two that if he brings home a championship she has to do something for him in return. Hell she might even have that bet with PP that why he came to KY, Billy G prolly told him he could get in on that action and what 18-68 year old wouldnt want a lil bit of A. Judd in their life huh? i really think she needs to be are 3rd asst. coach for recruiting purposes, how nice would that be to have a dinner with her, how could u say no?
May 31st, 2007 at 6:01 pm
Molly is from Murray. I went to HS w/ her (she’s a couple years older). She was cute enough back then, but boy did she grow into herself - stunning! Unfortunately for all of us, she went to Vandy. Therefore I doubt she’d give any love to the UK hockey team… I’ll have some of my friends, who are actually friends w/ her (I’m not), see how she responds.
May 31st, 2007 at 11:07 pm
Google “Celebrity Movie Archive Ashley Judd” and don’t do it at work.
