274 Comments for Coach Cal! (Thursday Show Thread)
Tonight is the last episode of The Office…I’m going to miss that show! Matt ask Cal if that post on his website about Bob Wiggins a few weeks ago had anything to do with Andrew.
Yay! Coach Cal time! Ask him what would he do for 12 hour law free? I have a feeling he would stay in Orange Leaf for 12 hours or maybe at Boones Butcher Shop.
I would sneak in to the new UK’s locker room.
First?
Can’t wait to hear Cal today. Next season can’t get here soon enough. How many days until Big Blue Madness?
Today is just Thursday, Drew. I wish it was Friday!
Wake n bake. Headed to Vegas today. C-A-T-S. dale dale dale.
How did we forget National Chocolate Chip Cookie day yesterday?!
I called in yesterday but they got my name wrong. I was the beginning caller on the 11 o’clock hour.
Cousin Ryan… ready for Waddy?
1 – The Office ended when Michael Scott left. Everything since then has been a dream.
Matt, it was the 28ft club. They went to Breathitt High School.
Can you ask call if Exum is a target? He can discuss international recruits per NCAA rules.
Why not look at this kid? You said it yesterday, “we need another shooter to be perfect”….
22ft club, Sorry. The school system wouldnt let them play in the coliseum so they are now going to Wolfe County Schools now, I think.
My uncle is a superintendent there in Jackson at Jackson City… There isn’t an academy there that I am aware of. Hazel Green Academy?
Matt, one time you said something about how you wish you could manage the clock for coaches at the end of a game…your recent struggles with time management might keep you from getting that job.
Dante Exum could join the team in December per NCAA rules.
Matt, Can you ask Cal what he recommends getting at Orange Leaf?
McDonald’s stinks…you eat it and feel like crap immediately after.
What do you view you biggest challenge next year motivating players to give it all for 40 minutes or manage playing time?
EGG WITE DELIGHT ALL DAY!!!!! Its the cheese that makes it soooo good!
Matt, question(s) for Cal:
How would a Julius Randle (in raw form right now) play against a MKG level defender? Would he hold his own or does he have great strides to make?
Just trying to guage where Randle is at.
Question for Cal: What is the one thing he would do differently last year if given another chance?
Coach Cal coming up right after this commercial break:
(20 mins of AA commercials)
Thanks Cal it’s been great to have you on the show.
Egg white McMuffin? No thank you. Even the book of Job says egg white has no flavor.
NO..NO..Matt wheat gluten is bad for you…ck it out..stay away from them as best you can..
Ask him what would he do for 12 hour law free? I have a feeling he would stay in Orange Leaf for 12 hours or maybe at Boones Butcher Shop.
Nah, no academy. It was a private donor paying Breathitt school system to let these kids come to school in the US. The president of the “club” got mad when the school system wouldn’t let them play in the schools coliseum so, last time I heard they were going to school in Wolfe County.
Probably a lot of that had to do with the state coming in and running the administration in Breathitt Co.
everything in moderation even egg whites
Hypothetically, If Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor choose Duke and Sulaimon / Jabari stay another year…… Duke’s lineup of Tyus, Sulaimon, Jabari, Amile, Jahlil will sound like a starting lineup for Al Qaeda? lol
Matt I have a feeling alot of people are underestimating florida. They are gonna be really really good.
ask him if we will utilize the fast break regularly…
Matt, James Young will be starting at the 3, Alex will be backing up him or Randle.
I believe James Young will start over Poythress. Young has that dog in him.
Ask Coach Cal about WIllie playing the three in the Andy Katz article. Was that a mistake or a real possibility? WCS, Randle, and Dakari is a huge frontcout…
ATTENTION LISTENERS: The opening show statement has officially been changed from “Welcome everyone to Kentucky Sports Radio” to “I was walkin’ into the Radio Station, eatin’ my McDonalds…”
Ask Cal would he drive to Paris?
Matt just geeked about the egg whites. But they are good.
Ask cal how much time the key returners have been spending in the gym.
Could you ask Coach Cal that if sometime down the road the NBA Player’s Union actually change their rules and require two years before high-school students can enter NBA what would he do to adjust his recruiting techniques?
Guilty pleasure song. Great call, Dude
What is UK’s overall interest in Mikyle Mcintosh?
I unfortunately also bought the Deep Blue Something CD (too bad there wasn’t iTunes back then). I still have it at home.
Matt, can you ask Coach Cal, Do you still watch games and coaches and try to learn new plays and ways to do things?
I bought the Deep Blue Something CD because of that song. I was listening to the CD one day and realized how bad it was and threw it away. The only other CD I did that to was The Escape Club Wild Wild West.
Please ask about Dante Exum. He can join in December.. super-star
Matt,
Get Ryan to say Testosterone. Cause on his body-shapes medical commercial it sounds like he says “Snestnosterone”
point, David. Well done, sir.
Matt,
Please keep Ryan off of the sauce during Cal’s interview.
Matt..What about Benedict’s statement that college bb has become too physical and he blames the officiating and wishes the game would go back to the game he loves…Says he misses the beauty of the game that he use to watch and mentioned the Clyde Frazier days…WOW..
Darius West set to announce on the 30th….. HUGE GET!
Matt,
You are right about BBN. I am on vacation out west and I woke up before 7 AM
to listen to the show on iheartradio.
Thaddeus Snodgrass is to Matt as Dominique Hawkins is to Drew.
Kevin Garnett really likes Honey Nut Berrios as a twitter handle.
Matt…You guys keep leaving out Jared Polson and playing time next yr…I think he get minutes before Hawkins…
We need a call from Fake David Beckham, since he announced his retirement today..
Shannon has to play Train this morning.
Braxton Berrios is an alfa-male…Sure hope we get this kid..If you haven’t seen his video you need to go watch..
Erin Calipari also said something about Cal having bitching Vespa he used to ride. I think we have to ask about this.
Ask Cal what the biggest challenge is from year to year to get kids to buy in to his system.
The guy that just called and said that we went 9-0 against the final eight in 2012, we didn’t play Ohio State that year??
Matt, I heard those new McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches caused gender confusion.
Did Cal use the fancy olive oil his kids got him for Christmas yet? I asked him after the Vandy game at Rupp and he smiled and said, “no.”
Obama is doing great. (dont tax me bro)
The Egg white delight is for hippees
I know…… Let’s take a 20 mminute commercial break just as Cal calls in…..
Erin Calipari shouldn’t feel bad, my dad ignores my calls to
Matt, I took your advice and just went and got an egg-white McMuffin… and it sucks. I guess I’ll add this to music for things that I’ll never seriously take your opinion on.
Matt, ask Cal if he has a new favorite song this year. Maybe one that fits this team.

Question for Cal : Will we see more full court press this year? How much?
Galvinizing is a new Cal word. Drink for every alpha male comment.
Or beast.
Think Cal has found his 2013 slogan for this team. Its a galvanizing process
Matt, Ask Cal if he thinks Willie can really play at the 3 spot.
Jurrich!!!!!!
JURICH!!!!!!
HAHAHA!! Never fails. Emergency Broadcast test
LOL EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAL IS TALKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TERRORISTS!!!
how do you do a test in the middle of john calipari!! wtf!!
WTF
Weather alert!!!!!!!!!
EAS on 630!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F*cking emergency broadcasting!!!
ARE YOU F(*&^ KIDDING ME, A MONTHLY TEST DURING THE INTERVIEW????
Wait what? When I would get on the UK blogs I was repeatedly told by Eric and crew that I was crazy when i said our guys played awful 3 pt defense! Of course I was right and I ignored those clowns, but still. The only time the 3pt D looked good on paper was when the other team missed open shots.
An emergency alert test in the middle of Cal???!!!!! woooooooow
Unbelievable!
There better be a tornado on the ground somewhere…
JURICH!!!!!!!!!!!!
OF COURSE I GET A KENTUCKY WARNING BS!!!! DAMN THE TURTLENECK
RU FRICK’N SERIOUS?!
So you guys pick the one time of the week for the EAS to have Cal on the phone? Fail.
Good night…Seriously?!? It’s only a monthly test. WTF
hahaha poor ksr
Emergency broadcast test. This is unbelievable. How does Clear Channel not provide the dates and times when this is tested?
switch to 630 wlap
Monthly emergency test on iHeart in the middle of the Cal interview. Are you kidding me???
Great time for that…
good time for a test from emergency weather
JURICH!!!!!
It’s a good thing Cal is long winded because we didn’t miss anything during the test.
First AA commercials through the Wiggins Announcement – now emergencies during Cal’s interview! HA!
That is the biggest bunch off bull I have ever witnessed, crap just crap. Do that stuff at 2am geez
Get Cal to repeat the last 45 seconds…
Nothing but issues with listening online lately.
Jurich’ed agian!!! hahaha So KSR!!!
LOL at Memphis comment!!!
Emergency test vs. 25 minute commercial break bypassing Wiggins announcement. KSR is killing it this week!
You absolutely CANNOT tell me that was a coincidence. Louisville radio station? Cal talking, then emergency test? I bet Jurich pressed the button.
Good ole K-R-S and its Emergency broadcast system
stupid weather alert system right in the middle of cals speech. Cal talking is more important than any emergency
Ohmygosh! A test of the network today! In the middle of Cal!!!!
Nice Cal…”15 second” shot clock #RickyDigg
this is a really bad week for Matt lol everythings fine!
Did MiKyle McIntosh just commit to another school?
Really? That was the time they decided to run the EAS test. Louisville fans must be selecting those times.
MONTHLY TEST!!!! WTH!!!! I BLAME LOUISVILLE!
CAL WITH A BURN. LMAO. CAL 1, LAWDOG 0.
20 minutes of commercials and then a emergency warning test during Coach Cal’s interview. Great week for KSR.
“You used to kill me at Memphis, Matt…” Hahahahahahahaha, Cal knows.
……..And again, something goes wrong. Awesome test!
Cal’s swag has triggered the natural disaster testing system.
Haha, during the beginning of the Cal interview, they had the monthly emergency broadcast alert going. Timing is batting %1.000 this week.
Ahhh…BEEEEEEEP. The Kentucky Emergency Service System just announced that for the next twelve hours all bets are off and all crimes are permissible. Ryan Lemond is about to go Metta World Peace on the homeless.
“You used to kill me when I was at Memphis”
Cal got bumped on 1080 for a test of emergency broadcast system. someone at 1080 is a cards fan.
Actually, that was a whine detector. J/k, J/k
Alright, now I am certain that Tom Jurich is behind these Emergencey Broadcast Tests. Unbelievable.
In the office in Knoxville, and I yell, “You’ve got to be kidding me!” Which then I have to explain to the others around me.
Seriously Smitty…what the heck is that about? 20 minutes of commercials during the Wiggins announcement the other day, LOL
I blame the IRS for that TEST. This is only a test. Buy a gun.
This has to be the hardest interview Matt does. Cal does the talking which forces Matt to be quiet, LOL!
I blame the terrorist in the Hut for the emergency test.
Cal is alpha beasting Matt. 😉
AP had the dog in him against Dook. Too bad it didn’t last all year. He was POY material that game.
This is as open / unfiltered as I’ve ever heard Cal. Awesome.
Cal is SERIOUSLY fired up today. Damn.
Also, give the whining about the EMS test…Matt has no control over that.
Cal is killing it, hahaha. “You talk a lot, Matt.”
This is awesome. It sounds like the exact press conference from yesterday.
Ask Cal what he’s going to do to light a fire under Wiltjer.
When is Cal going to see Dakari play again? I love the timeline of his evolution.
James Young = Michael Redd
Walmart would deplete inventory leading up to it
Is Ryan going to ask a question?
ha! cal bringing some smack!!!
wow
PREACH CALIPARI!!!!!!!!!!!
The Vespa story is true. When I used to live in Lexington I ran into him a few times “walking” his dog on that Vespa in Chevy Chase
Wow – get’em Cal!!!!
CAL’S GOT SWAG!!!!! Go ahead and hang the banner..
Separate from ncaa-go Cal!
Cal is the man!
Ask Cal what he’d do during the PURGE!
damn, Cal has joined #NF
Cal layin’ a little smack down!
This 2013 class was in middle school when Cal came to Kentucky….Crazy
Question begins w/ Matt asking Cal if he was happy w/ Rick and UL winning the title, Answer ends w/ Cal talking about the 1 and done rule. Love it
Cal going HAM on the NCAA. Priceless.
Now would of been a good time to roll that EAS alert during the slow down!!! PSA’s
SO Calipari just gave the NCAA the bird….LIKE A BOSS!!!
“Why don’t you hear the other coaches trying to get this one-and-dont rule changed? Cause they don’t want to see our kids here at UK for two years!”
Beat line by far
that was awesome coach got me pumped i pulled off my warmups and jumped up off the bench yelling put me in coach
Cal is THE Man!! I love the passion he feels, it’s contagious!!!
He said the crack at Pitino about convincing a player to stay so he can teach them a new position twice, in case we missed it the first time. Cal rocks.
Look out next season…Cal got his MOJO back.
“We won it first.” God I love Coach Cal.
did cal start drinking? start day-drinking? was he gassed up for that? my god…he was on absolute FIRE during that interview and I f’ing love it. best f’ing bday someone could have given to me today. can we get that up on podcast now so I can listen again (over and over)?
Ryan was awful quite during that interview. Either Matt killed his mic or he was passed out on “cough” medicine.
Cal. Is. Awesome.
Hey Matt, Here’s info on the Academy in Jackson. It’s called the 22ft Academy. http://www.22ftacademy.com/
Can we stop using the word “alpha” just for a little while please.
Or beast
“In Cal we trust”
“We won it first” – https://twitter.com/jaxteller_KY/status/335047748262973440
How long is this freaking news/commmercial break? 9 minutes and counting.
Guys…. LISTEN ON 630 wlap on I heart. The wiggins announcement was not interrupted by AA commercials and there was NO EAS test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KSC…Kentucky Sports Commercials…. sigh
181- perhaps this guy from Jackson is commiting?
It’s always 10 minutes between hour 1 and 2.
so I wake up to find out my buddy started bangin hot broads that aren’t his seriously annoying girlfriend again (he had given that up for a while, against his better judgment). bacon. cal on ksr. I was in a groove and then that commercial break just took the wood out of my shorts.
FAvorite CAl Quotes:
“Why don’t you hear the other coaches trying to get this one-and-dont rule changed? Cause they don’t want to see our kids here at UK for two years!”
“I’m not going to be a kid to come back and say I am going to teach him a new position.” (Dig at Pitino and Russ Smith)
Reporter: Hey Cal how does it feel to be 50?
Cal : I dono, the NCAA Vacated 2 years of my life
Remember Matt… you aren’t good at time. That’s my point of view.
In case anyone is wondering, I intentionally pixilated that.
Going to have to switch to 630 on iheart!
CAL IS PUMPED UP LIKE A VESPA
I wonder how many minutes past the segment that interview would have went over if Billy was still the coach
Should have had Gillispie on the staff last season!
Did Pitino tell Russ that he was going to teach him another position? I hadn’t heard that?
You should listen to 990 in Knoxville, 10 min. commercial, talk for 5 and then 10 min commercial. A 30 minute drive to work, they talk sports 10 minutes. Of course if they are at a live remote, they talk about 2-3 minutes about the place they are at.
I liked when he slammed the NCAA, didn’t mince words.
Hang up on this guy…he’s an idiot.
Matt gettin’ hostile! Rawr.
“I didn’t call to argue with you.”
“Then why did you call to argue?”
LOL. Good one, Matt.
Know when you can tell Matt is in a good mood? lol He argues more with callers
Matt, Calm down….you seem to be all hyped up on coconut juice.
Who care about this
Matt beating up on callers again, lol.
You all yelling is giving me a headache.
Um… didn’t UK finish 2nd in the SEC last year with Wiltjer and Polson playing major minutes?
SCOTT ONE OF THE MANY DEBBIE DOWNERS OUT THERE
that was a lewisville fan lockland mcomplain has been talking about the 2nd team thing now for a week and lewisville fans have been eating it up
holy crap that guy…
We have some really dumb fans
Matt the last caller is wrong too this next years team is not as deep as cals first team at kentucky
I think it would be fun if Cal divided them up into 2 equally talented teams, and just substituted the entire lineup all game. In and out hockey style. Try to keep up with us.
He guarantees a championship but that still doesn’t have the gravity of Ryan’s 75% comment!
When will there be a new KSR website?
Seriously, Matt – the egg-white McMuffin was really mediocre. Regular McMuffin ALL day.
I hope the negative callers listened to Reese’s call.
This batch of callers had their agenda when they called in and they have probably been on hold so long they called in before Cal’s interview. CLEAR THE PHONE LINES
i’m with you boss. 40 minutes of pressure on defense and running up and down on offense. always fresh legs and everyone shows their skills. like Tulane back in the day. new wave of 4 or 5 players every 4 to 6 minutes.
If your boy Charles Ramsey can get McDonalds to tweet him then so can Uncle Matt.
Missing on wiggins wasn’t so bad… I’m getting WAY better odds next month in Vegas for UK taking down 9
With all this negative talk Shannon the Dude needs to play John Prine’s “People Putting People Down” it fits the occson.
the guy who called with problems with his computer, he has a lot to look forward to once KSR has the site revamp. oh wait that guy is an idiot
That Scott was, obviously, not the Real Scott.
I heard the full Cal interview on 630WLAP iHeart
I hear that the egg white McMuffin is overpriced and the side items aren’t as good the other SEC schools side items. Wheat muffins are slow and can’t play D.
What did Coach mean when he said that Matt use to kill him?
How can you like tennis better than baseball?
Tayshaun’s dunk was nasty, but he is shooting terribly.
What name will be on the back of the Harrison’s jerseys?
Tayshaun was the only guy for either team in the malice at the palice who never left the bench.
You should have your radio credentials revoked for implying that Memphis could beat Miami this year.
Zach Randolph is seriously the baddest man in the NBA. That guy, with the help of Gasol, is nearly unstoppable in the post. Memphis’s front-line is incredible.
They couldn’t get a child to read the part of a child in that online safety commercial? The commercials we have to listen to are “the worst”.
I really hope the Warriors can beat the Spurs in their series. A Griz-Warriors series would be very entertaining. It will be tough for Golden St. to win two vs. San Antonio, though.
#226 There is more action in tennis. Baseball will put you to sleep.
Ryan bringing a hatchett to a werewolf fight
230 — The way they are playing, they could certainly beat Miami.
Ryan, Check out Ditto road on Googlemap. It’s in the middle of no where and there doesn’t seem to be any flat spots.
I think it is roughly 10-20% chance UK wins it all
Your factsandchicks fact of the day. Bill Clinton once lost the nuclear launch codes for several months.
How about Coach Cal calling out the NCAA?
Saying something that KSR is doing one of the “Stupider things you’ve done” is saying so much considering your history, isn’t it?
The Volunteer Lolita?
“Jax Teller Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation.” is one of my favorite comment statuses.
I find it intesting that Matt and crew constantly complain about the folks who listen to them and call them.
“IF THE NCAA WERE A MAN, I’D PUNCH IT IN THE FACE” hahahahahahahaha awesome!
Hardee’s breakfast > Burger King breakfast > McDonald’s breakfast
Shannon, if you were there at 10:01 you would have got breakfast. Breakfast closes at 10:30 weekdays.
LOL, Matt, your voice is awesome on the K&G Tire Pros promo! They sped it up.
DQ breakfast is better chicken biscuit and biscuit and gravy
MJ on helium on the K & G Tire commercial.
246 — Hardee’s has some good stuff, but I will never agree with you on Burger King.
They need to make Breakfast end at 11….. It is frustrating to get there at 10:40, breakfast time, to see a Big Mac as the #1
HAHA… Matt doing the K & R tire read is funny! He sounds like a girl!
Matt Jones tire commercial is fast forwarded and sounds like the guy in the trixie stripper commercial
Steak N Shake has the best breakfast by far.
Matt talks super fast for K&G Tires, and super slow for whatever that one was we listened to interminably last month.
And WOW Ryan is super fast.
Funny.
Subway steak egg white and hot pepperjack cheese on a flat bread sandwich is amazing. Ryan, please give us a facts and chick fact for the day please.
Why do they speed up Matt and Ryan’s commercials?
Arby’s biscuit and Gravy is pretty good….
HA HA HA – Just heard the K&B Tire commercial, Matt were you trying to sound like one of the munchkins?
Is that really Matts voice in that tire commercial? lmao
never seen The Office either. As for McDonald’s breakfast – the steak egg and cheese bagel is the best!
The Dwight/Jim rivalry was great. I will miss the Office.
Which is better Matt?? Justified or The Office??
The Office the first few seasons were great. Dwight was the best and owned a beet farm.
Quit being so negative Matt.
264 I agree
Is it not possible for Randle to overtake Wiggins as the #1 draft pick?
Matt…Maybe the Gonzalez twins will be Wiggins’s DELILAH!!!
Explain to me the point of pixelating the trophy pic? I’ll hang up and listen.
This show should play in English classes all over the state just so kids can hear Slap Nuts. That way they can see why you need to pay attention in class.
Alpha Beast http://tinyurl.com/a2q6zlc
Great show today, thanks guys!
When you subscribe to the podcast, things happen faster. Fact. Great show! Big House Bourbon. You and your friends.
I see that Matt’s hometown radio station delays his show for about 10 hours. They know him there, so they must need that time for fact checking.
