Its been an incredibly long weekend and I have lots of court tomorrow, so we will be doing today’s notes in quick-hitter form:
— The theme coming out of Lexington today was simple. The Louisiana-Monroe win was important and we should all be happy to move on. La-Monroe may very well win their league and they have the athleticism necessary at the skill positions to stop teams from simply running all over them. UK utilized their advantage on the lines to win the game, and Randall Cobb is a stud. But now, UK turns its attention to Mississippi State, which most believe is the most important game of the year. Brooks and company however were worried about a letdown on Saturday…luckily they didnt really get one.
— I didnt talk in my post-game comments about Randall Burden, so now seems like a good time. Burden has become this year’s “hit or miss” player unlike any other. Saturday night, for most of the game it looked as if Burden was not possible for Burden to be beaten in more diverse ways than he was producing and his name elicited some groans in the stadium. But then late he had two important pass breakups and ran an INT back for a touchdown. Burden has a great deal of talent and the staff loves him…but consistency is the theme he really needs to develop as the year goes on.
— Randall Cobb, in addition to being amazing, was also named the “Punt Returner of the Week” nationally by some college football organization that I have never heard of. A good award for Cobb however and further proof that this is Cobb’s world, we just blog in it.
— On the basketball side, it is easy to forget that Kentucky is in the midst of some serious practicing right now. Two a days during the weekend and single practices during the week allow Calipari to use this time to incorporate all of his offensive and defensive principles. I spoke to someone close to the team this week that said Darius Miller has shown the greatest improvement over the past week and the staff is very impressed with his development. “A perfect fit for Cal’s offense” is the quote most-often used about him…hope to see more of that this week.
— Speaking of this week, the Blue-White Game is Wednesday and there are still good seats available. If you havent gotten seats, they will be available as walk-up seats at Rupp before the game. You should definitely plan on attending.
— Also attending the game will be Terrence Jones, who puts the “t” in truancy with his mid-week visit to Big Blue Nation. He will be taking in the event and as the year goes on, I get the feeling that the staff wants Jones more and more.
— There is some talk that recruiting dominoes may start to fall soon, as the kids complete their round of visits and start to make their choices. Kyrie Irving of course picked Duke last week and there has been talk that Adrien Payne might make a decision on Monday. Dustin Rumbaugh spoke to his coach, who said to stay tuned for “an update” on Monday, but didnt seem to suggest a decision was forthcoming. Either way, I expect news to be hot and heavy over the next three weeks in UK recruiting land.
— If you dont like Curb Your Enthusiasm, you and I probably wouldnt be friends.
— I really cant talk about my first live NFL game today with my Chicago Bears. It was a brutal beatdown and I will have my running diary of it late tomorrow. But for now, let me just say this…fat white people yelling “Who Dey” is not our country at its best.
— Alan Cutler’s press box apparel gets better every week. This week…a blue Kentucky sweatshirt that had to have originally been worn by Rick Robey’s grandmother to the 1977 Auburn game. It was too small, frazzled on the ends and was perfect for Alan’s general vibe.
— The story about Antoine Walker blowing 110 million dollars is crazy, but not surprising. Walker was always an odd bird and his time at UK produces more “you should have seen” stories than anyone not named Rashaad Carruth in recent years. However the part that was nuts to me is that he had 70 people in his entourage he was supporting. 70!!!! Do you even know 70 people? If I just had enough to pay for the Turkey Hunter, Hubby, DJ and Johnny Bruce to go see the Legends and Two Keys on Thursday (where by the way, the new Hamburgers they sell are TREMENDOUS), I think I could get by.
— I never met Cassity Hubbarth, although I did get an astounding number of “she’s over here, come by” texts and twitter messages. I guess we will have to wait for another day.
— Walker did however have one of the best quotes in basketball history when he first went to the Celtics. When asked why he shot so many threes, he responded “because there arent any fours.” Brilliant!
— Apparently the football team goes to the movies the Friday night before all Saturday home football night games. They went to see “Law Abiding Citizen” this Friday and one week saw the “Informant” (which is hilarious to think about if you have ever seen it). So here is my question for you:
“What obscure movie would you have the UK football team watch before the Mississippi State game?”
Give us a good answer and your explanation why in the comments. More all day, including recruiting news if and when, it happens….

Q: “What obscure movie would you have the UK football team watch before the Mississippi State game?”
A: “Mississippi Burning”. Not really obscure, but I like the intent contained in the title.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
Being a fat white person, I just wanna say WHO DEY Jones!!!
October 25th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
Make them watch Bambi and then tell them that one of the players on the other team killed Bambi’s mother. That’ll get them riled up for the game.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
hey matt, you’re just pissed chicago gave up on benson. WHO DEY!
October 25th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
Quarterbacks and wide receivers go to Chicago to die.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:44 pm
they sell food at 2 keys????
October 25th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
The Program and the opening scene to the Last Boy Scout would probably be the best movies for them to see.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
Mean Guns.
Ice T and Christopher Lambert killing people in a prison free-for-all of the worst killers. Why this movie? Aside from the awesomeness of T and Lambert, the mambo music.
Also, Bluegrass is Bengals country. So to everyone who said the Bengals aren’t legit, they’re starting to look more and more like the team that only got bounced out of the playoffs several years ago because they lost their starting quarterback and 3rd WR on the same first offensive play. Palmer’s looking as good now as he did then, and Ochocinco is taking just enough time out of being a fool to score TDs.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Your obsession with this chick Cassity Hubbarth, is somewhere between creepy… and a burka.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
BTW… if Leon Black doesnt get his own sitcom out of this stint with Curb, I will be very dissapointed.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:03 am
You’re not going to earn any points calling Cassidy Cassity.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:05 am
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Time Bandits, or Twelve Monkeys. All perfect movies for a Mississippi State win.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:09 am
They should see Leatherheads or maybe da Watah-Boy.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:09 am
Tombstone… they need to get all Doc Holliday on Miss State’s ass.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:10 am
Equilibrium with Christian Bale. A cross of The Matrix and Brave New World.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:16 am
the team should watch Wildcats, for the following reasons:
1. the name, obviously
2. how can you not love a movie about football where a goat gets stolen, a teenager gets wasted at a party and is rescued by Wesley Snipes,
and cheerleaders chant, “U-G-L-Y, you ain’t got no alibi, you UGLY! What-what! Yo’ mama says you ugly!”
October 26th, 2009 at 12:19 am
I also have some random thoughts:
1) Can you think of a player whose reputation has improved as much as Hartline’s has following an injury? He’s not going to go down as an all-time great, but he went from goat to “we really need him” in a hurry.
2) I tend to prefer the atmosphere at NFL games over college games. The crowds at the Colts and Bengals games I’ve been to seem much better than the UK or U of L crowds.
3) Random obscure movie? Got to go with “Judge Dredd.” Awfully great - also because I think Micah Johnson is the law. If not that, then “Passenger 57,” so the team can learn to “always bet on black.”
For the basketball team, I’d recommend the KET thriller “Coal Throughout the Ages: A Retrospective on One Fossil Fuel’s Impact on the Commonwealth.”
October 26th, 2009 at 12:24 am
The new Curb was one of the best yet. So funny.
I think the team should watch Women In Love due to the reference in Curb tonight.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:33 am
they should watch the Kentucky Fried Movie, it is so dated but still hilarious!!!
October 26th, 2009 at 12:35 am
ANY GIVEN SUNDAY
October 26th, 2009 at 12:43 am
12) If you were a woman, I’d find that list of movies very much worth further discussion.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:48 am
CASINO because Kentucky run’s their business with no mercy!!!
October 26th, 2009 at 1:03 am
Cobb is pretty,,,pretay,,,pretay,,pretty amazing.
October 26th, 2009 at 1:06 am
17 - regarding your points.
#1 - totally agree
#2 - totally disagree. i was at the UK/UL game in 2007 when stevie got loose, and I don’t think Commonwealth Stadium has ever been that loud…even
after taking down #1 LSU. college fans and players just have a certain passion about them that i think is unmatched in any NFL game I’ve been to (about 25 or 30)
#3 - love the point about betting on black, best line in that movie, nicely done.
–funny stuff about the coal movie too, nice work.
October 26th, 2009 at 1:07 am
was thinking of hittin up the blue-white game, so if i go up there wednesday, the ticket office outside rupp will b open and still have tickets?
October 26th, 2009 at 1:09 am
dude sitting in front of the “A” in radio has a sweet bowl cut.
also, what the hell is the kid in the bottom left looking at?
he is literally the only person in that entire photo who isn’t looking at the camera and he was the closest one to it!!!!
October 26th, 2009 at 2:14 am
The team should watch City of God. A Brazillan film with Portuguese spoken but worth the subtitles. The story is of Rockett a kid from inner city Rio who watches his brother and two best friends “The Tender Trio” be Robin Hoods of some sort for the people around them and be hoods with a soft side. They rise and fall as young evil Lil Ze takes over and becomes a a drug/warlord of the city. Rockett who is to meek to be a gangster but to wise to let the city cut his dreams. He can see the future in a different reality and wants to make it there. Pain, family, loyalty, love, and death encapsulate this brillant movie. Go Cats
October 26th, 2009 at 2:20 am
I suppose our country at it’s best is a fat Bears fan yelling Ditkaaa?
October 26th, 2009 at 2:54 am
They should watch Strange Brew. The scene where Rick Moranis drinks an entire industrial tank of beer then urinates on the burning insane asylum to put out the flames proves that anything can be accomplished if you want it bad enough.
October 26th, 2009 at 3:48 am
Is that Ron Howard holding the “K” portion of the sign?
What should the football team watch?
2001: A Space Odyssey….simply because it is the best damn film ever committed to celluloid.
October 26th, 2009 at 6:22 am
Guess we can’t be friends, Jones. Curb Your Enthusiasm is F’n retarded.
October 26th, 2009 at 6:37 am
I was at the game, I’m not fat, I am white, and I yelled Who Dey. Better than having a bunch of fat butt white Bears fans yelling “da bears”. . . . .
October 26th, 2009 at 7:00 am
Did anyone else notice that the pick returned for a touchdown was RANDALL Burden and the next pick was Ashton COBB? Just a thought…
October 26th, 2009 at 7:05 am
Next Of Kin
October 26th, 2009 at 7:09 am
I love how people are suggesting well-known movies when Jones asked for obscure movies.
October 26th, 2009 at 7:16 am
Matt, NFL jealousy does not beget you. Just admit that ‘da Bears stunk it up and let the long suffering Bengals fans whoop it up. They can’t be worse than Cardinal fans in PJ’s house…
October 26th, 2009 at 7:34 am

October 26th, 2009 at 8:42 am
I’m a Bengals fan, but I’ve got to say “Who Dey” is the most ignorant sounding chant I’ve ever heard… sorry guys.
October 26th, 2009 at 9:07 am
1. Who Dey is awesome and that was the best bungles game in 5 years. You just don’t understand, Jones.
2. Curb is the best show on right now. I’ve watched it since the first episode in 2000. Wendy Weelchair was my fav this season.
3. “Rare Birds” best unknown movie ever staring William Hurt. Why? It sure beats what they have watched.
October 26th, 2009 at 9:35 am
Matt, my husband went to a Bengals game last year, and swears he will never go back…..The reason is their fans… he said they were beyond rude and obnoxious….Now I know that there are a lot of fans of other teams that are like that also..but he has been to other stadiums…and he said he has never seen anything like it (and not in a good way)…Some of the MEN were picking on the WOMEN who were there to see the other team (Steelers)play….that video at the Dodgers game (that was on the site not to long ago) reminded him of the Bengals game…
I’m sure I’m going to get ripped on here..but I’ve heard this from other people also…
October 26th, 2009 at 9:39 am
Is anyone starting to get the feeling that Coach Cal might be a little obsessed with the DD offense to the point it could be a bad thing?
October 26th, 2009 at 9:40 am
When I was going to college in Marion, IN…there were so many Bears fans. Most rude and obnoxious fans I have ever met in my life. They were even worse than Louisville fans. Needless to say, when my Colts beat them silly in the Superbowl…life was good.
October 26th, 2009 at 9:40 am
Regarding ‘Who Dey’… my team, the STEELERS always responds ‘WE DEY’!!!
October 26th, 2009 at 9:54 am
44. See 9/27/09
41. I’m sure they were. I was at that game and disappointed in some of the fans but that’s what happens when you mix alcohol with hatred.
Jones - Who Dey?!?!?
October 26th, 2009 at 10:03 am
They should watch Labrynth. Or the Dark Crystal.
October 26th, 2009 at 10:04 am
41-so let me get this straight. You go to a bengals game as a steelers fan, and you get upset that people were’nt welcoming you with open arms? Were you waving that gay towl as well? HAHA, a steelers fan calling bengals fans obnoxious. Thats funny!!
October 26th, 2009 at 10:05 am
45) huhmm, look at the past YEARS and how we have played since that game….I guess we will find out when the Bengals comes to Heinz field…. “WE DEY”
Yep, alcohol does make hatred worse… that’s for sure…
October 26th, 2009 at 10:09 am
47) No, I didn’t go, my husband went…but there is no reason for the MEN to pick on WOMEN who are Steelers fans….Kind of stupid if you ask me….What, Bengal men can’t pick on Steeler men???
October 26th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Look, if someone is serously degrading anyone, regardless of sex, than I agree that’s stupid. But if you go to your rivals stadium supporting your team, than you have to expect to get heckled. It’s part of sports.
October 26th, 2009 at 10:19 am
First, every NFL stadium is at least 25% fat white men, and almost every NFL team has some tradition that nobody else understands.
I have the misfortune of living in Illinoise right now. I hear how people describe Eagles fans and realize that’s how Bears fans act. The season after Hurricane Katrina, they played the Saints in a playoff game. In the stands fans made signs such as “let’s finish what Katrina started”. A year or so later, after another terrible hurricane hit Texas, the Astros were forced to play a “home game” against the Cubs in Milwaukee. The idiot Chicago sports fans traveled the short distance and held signs once again thanking a natural disaster for providing their team with good fortune. They worship the ground Devin Hester can’t run on, while being oblivious to the exploits of Cribbs and Washington.
The Steelers fan base, however, is giving Chicago a run for its money. Show a Steelers fan the preponderance of evidence that proves Shitsburg has not earned a Superbowl on its own merit since Bradshaw and Harris were shooting up with steroids, and you’ll get raped in the ear with terms like “one for the thumb”, “Sixburgh”, “7″ and “Big Ben is an actual NFL quarterback” when every real fan knows they are still stuck on 4 (it doesn’t count if the refs or the other teams give it to you), and Worthlessberger won a superbowl with a 23 QB rating. He’s basically Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson, but he gets treated like Manning or Favre (who thoroughly outplayed him yesterday, only to have the game taken away 1st by the refs and then by Chester Taylor).
October 26th, 2009 at 10:22 am
Life is GREAT!!!! My Cats won Saturday and My Colts won Sunday, and Basketball season is just now getting to the point that every time I think about it I have to position my laptop at a different angle.
The movie for the team to watch on Friday? Felix the cat goes in heat with a Cocoanut.
October 26th, 2009 at 10:27 am
50…You are exactly right..The local Steelers fans are the worst. Every year they go to the Bengals game in force and try to take over the stadium and are obnoxious as hell (much like local Cubs fans) and if the home team tries to protect their turf, Steeler fans want to whine avbout it. So quit your crying, 48., and “we dey”? Really?
October 26th, 2009 at 10:32 am
I suggest the movie “Rolling Thunder” for the team to watch. It starred William Devane and (a very young) Tommy Lee Jones. Great movie! And, #53, whether you like it or not, Pittsburgh CAN chant “we dey.” The Bengals have been their bitches for as long as I can remember…
October 26th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Yes they have, I just find that response unoriginal and uninspiring, much like Pittsburgh’s offense.
October 26th, 2009 at 11:19 am
1. Curb your Enthusiasm is ridiculously stupid.
2. Everyone has jumped on the Mike Hartline bandwagon..I liked him before, but the idiots are now taking notice. He easily gives us our best shot to win…and for all of the “play Newton people” there you go….U happy?
3. The Bengals beat the Steelers at home so those people need to hush up.
4. The Bengals fans are obnoxious cause they have no idea how to react…when was the last time the Bengals had anything to cheer about?
5. They should watch remember the Titans….what a great movie to get that team atmosphere and get ready to play a football game.
6. I hate MSU…we need this win and I will feel so much better about the season
October 26th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Record with Hartline as starting QB this year: 2 - 3
Record without: 2 - 0
I’m still OK with Hartline not starting.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
Hartline’s 3 losses were to the top two teams in the country, and South Carolina.
I’m not on the Joker Philips bandwagon anymore. Any reason I should be excited about him calling the plays? Should I stop having envious thoughts about Brian Kelly replacing Brooks?
October 26th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
24 - You may be right. The only Bengals game I went to was particularly exciting and the Colts games I went to were in the RCA dome which does make everything louder.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Hartline’s turnovers in the Louisville game kept them in the game. His turnovers in the Alabama took away any chance of us pulling off the upset. Had he been available for the Auburn game, I contend we would not have pulled off that upset. We play better as a team without Hartline, simple as that.
October 26th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
They should go see the COCO CHANNEL movie so that they leave the theater angry that they lost 2 hours of their life and then whoop up on MSU.
October 26th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Matt Jones, there are just as many fat white Bears fans who holler ignorant crap during their games. Just because your Bears received the 2nd most thorough beat down of any NFL team this season (Pats 59-0 blanking of Titans is first) doesn’t mean you can talk crap. As a matter of fact, it gives you NO room to talk, because your team couldn’t force a punt until Palmer was pulled from the game after the 3rd quarter.
