First!
I’ve been out of the loop. Anything good happen this weekend?
1. You are a bad ass.
ARRRR…it’s Monday,Let’s Rock…
I think similar to yelling, “BRASSOW” during sexual intercourse, we should start a trend to yell, “RICHIE” when we steal an item.
Lets do this!
Only if what you steal was cool in the 80’s
IU fans and UK fans arguing about the series on ESPN
http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/58430/3-point-shot-kentucky-indiana-impasse
5 – I usually yell “RICHIE BARASSOW” after I get done with and don’t pay the hookers.
Carmichaels
Ryan….”Applebees?!?!”
That was priceless
I think the girl you saw at Joseph Beth was Shannon The Dude’s “Its Just Lunch” date. That’s why she keeps canceling, found a sugar daddy.
did you pick up my book while you were at the bookstore ?
This is going to be a great show. When a story like this opens the show, it can’t be a bad one.
I dated and married one of my college professors. I hit the jackpot!
9…killin’ it right out of the chute…
15. I’m seriously impressed with that. LOL
Matt wanted to learn this guys moves.
ewwwwww…
matt wanted to ask that dude for dating advice.
This week on KSR…waterbeds and shemales…tune in! lol
Wow, Don She-tle
Time to put out a APB for the “frumpy computer guy and the business whoa-man”. Call in if you are listening, we really want to know about your weekend readings.
My two dads are so annoying when the go out in public. I have a hard time sleeping-in on Sundays when I can hear those two thru the wall as they are counting down People’s most beautiful people.
Speaking of books, I just finished reading “Cornbread Mafia” this past week. Great book and true story on the largest domestic marijuana growing operation that was located in Marion County in the mid 70’s and 80’s. Crazy that of the 70 individuals arrested, not one broke a code of silence and probably 75% were from Marion County. A few busts totaled over 280 tons and had a street value of $4-5 billion dollars. In-freakin-sane!!!
I dont think Richie had them drive him around SO he could shoot deer…he just always carried his rifle while being driven around…when he spotted a buck, he yells “stop” and fires
Richie is definitely starting tonight!
Who wouldn’t pay Ag Department employees to drive you around as you shoot deer?
Only in the summer months can stories like this make the radio show and that is what makes KSR great!
That’s awesome, Jax! Comedy!
There’s 2 Travis’s. This thread ain’t big enough for the 2 of us.
Matt, they had just come from a Chinese restaurant and were following their fortunes.
“A mind needs a magazine like a sword needs a whetstone [in bed]”
I just wonder if the chick who lost her virginity to Richie back in Clay County, knew that he would go on from that virginity stealing moment to steal Beta VCR’s and shoot dear with Sarah Palin from an Ag car? Poor girl
“Seven Spanish Angels” is a great Willie song! Saw Willie in Louisville in 2008…he killed it with his band and still puts on a great live performance.
31 – one of you should go by trav.
17. Thank you! She’s 8 years older than me too. Does that qualify as being a cougar?
Richie Farmer reads magazines to his moustache
Richie was just doing what David Williams was telling him to do.
Very true…I think I was the original so you can concede or we can have a duel at high noon. “I’m your huckleberry.”
The way Ryan touts the UK-IU series, it makes me believe that he is an IU fan.
Matt, in the Wall/Cousins year when the game was in Bloomington the game was on CBS national tv when IU was terrible…
Matt you obviously don’t know much about Willie Nelson if you don’t think he had “early work.” He did and it was much different than his most popular music. Ryan, you are correct my friend.
To say that the game at IU is good for college basketball, shows a severe lack of knowledge of college basketball. It is never good to hold a game in an environment which might cause physical harm to UK students and fans. Simply not a good idea and it needs to be stopped before something terrible happens.
Ryan, Hoosier fans are a bunch of gangsta’s and thug’s. And because they do not know how to act in public we are not going back to their place to play. So you need to get over your corn fed self.
Ryan, have you heard “Roll me up and smoke me when
I die” ? It is new stuff
Xavier has been to the sweet 16 4 times in the last 5 years, anybody think they are a “great” program?
Hate to break the news to you Matt, but UK-UL doesn’t matter to anyone outside of Kentucky either, so you’re arguments doesn’t hold much water.
Matt, that’s normal for book stores. I worked at Borders in Washington DC for five years before they went out of business and that type of thing was a weekly occurrence. My very first customer when I started there was a guy buying a playgirl sandwiched between two business magazines.
36. Yes sir it does!
That story reminds me of my first year in music school and I was pretty naieve. This was before gays and lesbians had really started coming out in droves. There was a tall beautiful black woman, makeup, dress, heels, purse, etc., then she went into the men’s restroom and I was truly shocked. His name was Truby and he had a beautiful tenor voice. It was my big welcome to the arts scene.
Poop State is weaker than wet toilet paper!
Knight would not come to Rupp…we won’t go to Bloomington…turn about fair play…
Is John Short the “official” first call of the day now?
Here we go again. Who the hell keeps using “Jax Teller” as their screen name. #42 get your own, man.
Kentucky’s schedule is not for everyone.
#24 you’re post is very very weird. WTH are you talkin about?
43 – I think that’s being a bit overdramatic. If that were the case 75% of SEC football games wouldn’t happen.
John needs more hours. Let’s occupy Kroger
I just got a txt from Kelvin Sampson that IU is still relevant. He could’ve called to give me the update.
richie is a good kentuckian…crean is not…
MATT I walked into Lowes in Lexington this weekend. At the entrance was this 20 something guy decked from head to toe in his L’ville gear, which is fine. It was the facial hair that caused me to react. Yes it was the “line beard”. I immediately thought of your constant “line beard” mocking and couldn’t help but chuckle. Based on the smirk I received from my chuckle, I couldn’t help but think this guy angrily listens to KSR daily 🙂
Does Johnny Short ever start a call besides, “Oh…nothin’ much.” I just want him to drop a huge news/update bomb on Matt one day. What would be the biggest John Short news bomb?
Ryan, I’m 45 and don’t give a damn about IU or the State for that matter.
The IU series does not warrant this amount of discussion…. we want to hear about waterbeds and whoa-men…stick to the script
Indiana could argue that Butler has been to the finals 2 out of the last 3 years so that makes IU relevant…just trying to get my distorted reality glasses on.
Hi my name is Jax. I get mentioned on the radio from time to time for posting on a message board. I now think that I am some sort of celebrity. Its to the point that I put “KSR” at part of my twitter identifier.
62-If he announced he was taking his talents to Walmart
If Crean needs to add someone to IU’s schedule why doesn’t he call Coach Dirty Pants??
jax – agreed! i used to work at a country radio station when i was in college when willie was “hot”. heard lots of his songs over and over and over and over and over
And I’m obsessed with Matt Jones
The CATS and IU should play in Morgantown, WV, the WVU fans would be able to hate everyone.
P.S. I would like to see Cal and Huggy play every year.
67 – If he corrected Matt and said he now wants to be addressed as “Jonathan Short.”
Could the hate that IU has for us, be do to the fact that Richie stole Bobby’s vodka sidedline cup during layup line drills in 91? He did it… I seent him do it!
Poop State is going to be solid this year. I can feel it.
bluefins & bicycle seat sniffer – the uk/iu series has been a vital part of uk basketball history for over 30 years. besides louisville, as a fan i would much rather play north carolina & iu than any other non-conference teams. that’s all i’m saying
Shannon The Dude commercial…Congrats, man!
Ryan, I am of the older crowd like you. But the days of UK-IU to me are done. Holding on to tradtions is like holding on to the rotary phone, 8 track player and the typewriter. I remember the old UK-IU games and they were good. But times change and we have to change with them. You know the old saying, all good things must come to an end.
This site needs more Corey Nichols !!!!! Fire Tyler and the other girl, women have no place in sports discussion.
Don’t tell me Richie had a spotlight mounted on an Ag car.
BOLD PREDICTION: Free Richie shirts will out sell UK2K shirts…
Richie had Agriculture Employees run through Indiana corn fields knocking down all the stalks…that’s why they hate UK.
When the bookstore couple splits up reading assignments, I’d much rather get US Weekly than the Economist.
Pretty sad when somebody isn’t funny/creative enough on their own merit they have to piggy back off of somebody else’s name. It’s all good though, keep on keeping on man.
Rex Chapman is the headliner for stripper karaoke at Trixie’s on Friday.
83- What am I talking about.
So what is the main reason UK won’t play in Bloomington? Is it a money issue, or is it because of last years game and what happened in and around the game?
#74. Nice
Is anyone else confused by Jax Teller’s multiple personalities?
“Coach, why don’t you like Richie?”
I have a strong feeling that Adam Edelen could write similar 150+ page reports on MOST Kentucky government agencies. So entertaining, but sad. Sounds like an SNL skit.
Wait for it…wait for it…STOP!…TURN!
Richie is eat up with the dumbass
As the agriculture commissioner, Richie was trying to teach his employees the ways of the farmer.
What is Richie doing with all these guns?
So Richie is a poacher as well as a thief. It is also illegal to shoot a gun from a road or from a vehicle.
hey can someone tell richie i got his medicinal order last year he still has not picked it up.
Richie stole my damn Anthony Davis poster and sold it on EBay!!
Remind all of those who are puzzled at our profitability of UK vs UofL the importance of neutral site revenues.
If Richie did all this stuff as the Agri Commish just imagine what he would have done as Governor.
The UK-IU series only benefits IU because they never play anyone in the top 25 in their non-conference schedule.
I will miss this Player probably more than most!! He and Miller won the heart of this UK girl in the VA!!!
so…where is the bad stuff…sounds like a dem auditor thats a lville fan writing about a rep ky player…
Richie, Richie. You can do that in DC, but not in KY!
You can take the man out of Clay County, but you can’t take the Clay County of the man. I know you’re from the same dirt, Matt…but mountain folk have their own set of rules. Nowhere in the U.S. like it.
I tried to buy a ticket to Lamar and uppers were going for 175
Mattt, I know you love Richie, but he is a disgrace to the Commonwealth and to UK. You laugh about it being Richie but him stealing from the taxpayers is despicable to me! These actions perpetuate evey stereotype that exist regarding dirty politicians.
I think Kyle regrets calling now.
Dang, I’m getting blamed for the end of the UK-IU bball series too?
I hope Brian Long appreciates all this revenue the bball program is trying to raise for him…
Richie would not have won the next election because the issues you are raising would have come out during the campaign. There are far too many for him to be able to keep in the closet. Thanks for the great show.
Ryan, I Agree, just play IU in Bloomington.
I think the only reason you should have true non-conference road games, is when you are fulfilling promises to recruits. Example: Playing in Portland because you promise Terrence Jones. Although, I love the home and home with UNC.
Louisville went to Butler just last year, True Road game. Year before went to WKU, true road game. Before that went to UNLV, True Road Game.
Those douchebags at Southland Christian Church just put Perkins out of business. If Southland Christian is going to act like a corporation, they need to be taxed like one. Bring back the Tremendous Twelve and the mini-chimis.
Will Richie take a bus tour of the state and sell autographs before he goes to jail……(does he have friends in Transportation where he can get a bus?)
A funny Willie story is back in the early 2000’s, Willie was at a party in Nashville and someone alerted him that his mansion in Nashville was on fire. Willie raced home and went inside to retrieve two items: his old guitar, Trigger, and his stash. When people asked him why he did it and what would he do if he could only rescue one of the prized items, Willie responded, “I didn’t have to decide…they were in the same place.” Classic Willie.
Honeysuckle Rose…one of the best lines: looking for a woman who can suck the chrome off of a trailer hitch…
Who was eaten by a crock?
Would someone please comment on all the Reds hatred being perpetrated by this site. A team that just honored the cats smh…
Are you telling us, 113 to get our facts straight?
Wasn’t everyone ready to dump the IU series in early December?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrddy4FGT6Q
88% of revenue from a state funded arena helps the bottom line considerably
Did they just say that a US Special Forces offer was eaten by a crocodile while searching for Kony?
Ul is also the drunkest fan base in the country…
119.
The Reds suck and Cincinnati is a slum.
So has UK decided they would rather play North Carolina home and home than Indiana? If so I don’t agree with that decision. Indiana is closer and that rivalry is actually the longest.
They sent the UK revenue National Champs shirts to Somalia with the UL Bball National Champs shirts
since u of l hangs a banner for every tourney appearance (i’m not making it up) they might as well hang a banner for making money.
Does hush money going out to women Rick has “dined with” get counted in the budget? Cause that would skew things…
Cat fans don’t have to chug large quantities of beer to enjoy the product on the floor.. UofL fans do. That in turn profits Louisville.
The ironic thing about Louisville fans celebrating being the most profitable…
It’s literally coming out of, or will come out of their own pocket. High ticket prices, a terrible deal for Jefferson Co. tax payers, and $8.00 beers.
Congratulations on being gouged by your athletic department when YUM! slows down advertising dollars and endowment thins out.
Truth calling from a payphone again.
Truth is back on his meds now
Rodger Bird is from Corbin, not Hendersonville…The Truth’s faycts must be optional too
His time is about to run out on the payphone.
Hopefully Richie can redeem himself and fulfill his dream of becoming the AD one day. Does the Bell County Athletics director get a free laptop?
Truth forgot about the man/the legend Rex Chapman!!!
Truth…I am originally from Hoptown, and I dislike everything about WKY. It deserves every criticism it receives.
Matt, you are discriminating against stupid people. How dare you.
Nothing worse than having the truth on…
Shawn Marion. Clarksville, TN
Truth’s meds were right today…Miracles do happen…
The best Home next year looks like it’ll be Mizzou.
Let me say this: I would much rather play Indiana than North Carolina. I live in Owensboro and Indiana fans were in full force after they beat us in Bloomington. Wal-Mart, Towne Square Mall, you name it, the Indiana fans were there wearing their IU shirts with pride. Bottom line,Indiana is back. Like it or not, they are back and we don’t need to run and hide. We’re better than IU and will continue to be. If we stop playing them, we’ll look like cowards and Hoosier fans will never stop with their crap about UK being scared. Don’t give me the revenue crap. One home game at IU once every 2 years IS NOT going to break the bank for UK. IU wants some, lets give them some. Peace.
I hope for Matt’s sake Richie Farmer hasn’t given 1 of those guns to Nate.
145…could care less to play or not,but agree with your assessment…
Willie Nelson 79 today, another music legend, Leon Russell (who turned 70 on 4/2), was in Lexington last night. He was at Busters, a small club downtown. So cool. Matt you would have loved it!
Matt, there is a 45 second gap on the podcast from the day in question. Who’s your plumber?
145 The importance of the IU series to IU fans is really not a factor…this is not that big of a deal
Ladies and gentleman, we have a Turley Curd tweet: “big weekend coming up. time to plant tomatoes.”
Richie stole the Truth’s insanity
148, did he play “roll me up and smoke me when I die”?
Has anybody else seen @NoelsFlatTop on twitter? It’s crackin me up!
Never thought I’d get a shout out for somebody taking my fake name. Wow.
I went to the game last year and you truly could not enjoy the game due to the rudeness and arrogance of IU fans. I got cussed out and felt awkward the whole game. Not worth my time or money to ever go back and deal with their crap.
Jax…maybe Jasmine in Vegas stole your name. She stole my pictures to use as her own and act like she was a dime to get attention and feel better about herself. Skank.
Make no doubt about it, losing UK from their schedule would be a HUGE loss for IU, especially in regards to their goal of getting back to legitimacy. They need UK to bring YOUNG eyeballs to their program who until 2 years ago, had only IU fans & very old writers paying attention.
157 – That’s funny right there.
Nate and ignorant people like him just can’t handle the fact that there are people that can intelligently disagree with them about anything
Comparing Matt and Bobby? Don’t know whether I would be complimented or scared…
I got yo back matt!
I feel bad for the speaker on Nate’s rotary phone. He treats that phone like the owl treats a tootsie pop.
Nate needs to keep Matt and UK’s name out his dirty mouth.
Would you sit in bed on a Saturday morning and let Nate read you The Economist?
Nate’s Kentucky’s version of Larry The Cable Guy… Without the funny
Nate sure does have a nice voice. I could listen to him read me US Weekly for hours
Please tell me Annie showed up at a casting call
166…dead on…
Dump Indy and do home and home with ucla…
Nate is just a gutless moron who doesn’t grasp that he is the type of fan that many outside the state think we all are. Uneducated, illiterate hillbillies. Thanks, Nate, for propping up the stereotype on the radio call in shows. Jerk weed.
i drink big blue instead of big red
Ryan, If you put turly curds in when you plant maters they really take off. Better than miracle gro
Richie Farmer is the reason we are ending the IU series. The Commodore 64 he gave to Larry Vaught was smashed during the stampede at the game this year.
I have never understood what we gain from playing tough road games. Financially we would be better off to play a home game or a game on a neutral court. Remember, not a single NCAA tournament game is a road game.
would like to see our OOC schedule consist of 3 types of teams: (1) cupcakes (2) marquee powers (3) teams or events located in rich recruiting grounds (texas/cali/DC/chicago)
UK would do the same thing…Vanetti is correct
They’re the most valuable, but are having to look for ways to pay for their new arena
Apparently every KSR College writer who auditioned advanced to the second round of the casting call contestant. I’m sure they showed-up, stated their name, said they write for KSRC and La Familia, and then advanced. How cute. Lol!
Good idea, Tony. Where can I get the UL athletics most valuable program t-shirts? Can it list the annual revenues on the back with a hash-tag? That would be super clever.
Let Louisville have the money. We’ll take the championships.
When I hear somebody say “Hoosier”, I think of tires, not Indiana basketball
Vanetti is wearing his infra-red underwear…bragging about some worthless fact and not results on the court…
Is UL admitting through their revenue pronouncement that they have the most alcoholic fans in college sports?
If Wiggins reclassified to 2013 and comes to UK with the other possible recruits. Gaurenteed Champions???
Does Vanetti realize that UL doesnt play IU either and that the Big East is now an average conference?
Hey Tony,
Its alright UofL is the dollar general of college basketball, while UK is more like the Saks Fifth Ave. Yes you can get a nice value at Dollar General but then again you look like a hobo.
Why doesn’t ul schedule iu? Same logic…spin that Vanetti…
You can’t replace Indiana with another home and home.
Tell Vanetti that if he wants an IU game then UL can play them.
Nice Tony, “sticks and stones, IU guy”
I think we misunderstood the Mayans prediction… They actually predicted the IU series would end in 2012. We can’t mess that up!!
Cheshire Cat – i’m on it today!!!!
Hahaha Vanetti! We have to get this guy in blue. Entertaining radio.
I hate to say it, but I agree with Tony. For the first time ever, I too think if we drop the Indiana game it looks like we are scared, I know we aren’t but it would look that way.
Will the Cracker Barrel opening be bigger than the Shoney’s remodel?
192…lmfao…
Vanetti, I think Dave Jennings is the guy from “honey I shrunk the kids ” Don’t blow my image.
Cancel the remote at the Middlesboro Cracker Barrel. They got wind that you appeared at the Shoney’s in Etown to celebrate the renovation.
I seriously doubt we would replace the IU game with an equal or tougher matchup…we are racing to the weakest nonconference schedule (boring)
South Carolina was selling alcohol in the suite areas during the basketball game I went to when Kentucky plays. I believe they were selling all through the arena.
Do UL fans realize that the Big East is no longer a strong conference?
from 2001-2012 UK has outscored IU 767-680. Screw the IU game. Lets play a real team that might be able to compete.
Pretty sure the Big East isn’t going to be that great of BBall conference in a few years.
Loving the STD “Stripper Karoke” Trixies commercial. That is pure genius.
Stripper Karoake? It’s days like this I really miss Louisville…
Please give Shannon the Dude a raise so we don’t have to hear him plugging Trixies!
To the Louisville fan that called and any other fan listening.. Got 2 words for y’all.. SCORE BOARD!!
Stripper Karaoke. Shannon is my hero.
Vannetti’s right if we replace out with another home and home we’re just chicken
The summation of every UL fan call:
Fan: “Matt, (insert stuttering trash talk.)”
Matt: “(Fan’s Name,) That was the worst trash talk I’ve ever hear.”
Fan: “Here is something negative about UK.”
Matt: “Here is why you make no sense.”
Fan: “I understand what you are saying but you still suck.”
Big East will live up to it’s Big Least name soon…go chards
E Bled has been known in the past to get sh*t right!!! History tends to repeat it’s self.
I thought we are dropping the Indiana game in order to add a home and home with the Wizards to finally end that debate. Am I wrong?! lol
Who names their kid Nerlens Noel?
Cross Cross kicked me off his radio when I said Rondo was a cancer on the team. Low point in my life.
Denver needs to hire Tim Couch to do their color commentary… That would make all things right in the universe.
Uh oh, we’re looking at facts now. Kevin Slapnuts calling in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1….
We are the dat blame needle!!!
Numbers don’t lie…2 FFs since 1986…that’s ELITE(in l-ville)
Think May flowers Barney
Fake Barney flat brings it.
I want the South American point guard… Dudes a beast!! I think
Fake Barney = Gold…
Ryan…Summer Games in the Garden begin soon…will let you know Bro…
What about Shannon The Dude’s “Its Just Lunch” date?
We need to beat IU at home and storm the court
227: We are an elite program. Therefore we do not storm the court.
The real Dave Ramsey just filed a lawsuit and EPO against this guy
Ryan loves chick flicks
But it would be so much fun!
Matt…nothing wrong with slumming ever now and then…
is it just me or is fake barney not that funny? i dont get why everyone thinks he is so good…
231…wanna look like iu fans?
Rachel, I live on “the sunnyside” too. Hate it!! If I was Southern Indiana I’m not so sure I would want the sun shining on my miserable little towns.
Matt upon meeting Rob Bromley. Rob: “Matt, I’m going to give you another chance in 1.2.3….”
Kentucky Gentlemen > Indiana Gentlemen
The problem with Bloomington is lack of ice in their soft drinks… They have direct orders to save all of the ice to ice Crean’s hands after the game.
Richie Farmer= real life Kenny Powers. It sounds like his time in office was like a eastbound and down. He needs his own show.
Matt, I think you’re miscalculating the SEC games–there will eventually be 3 more, 2 vs. Missouri and 1 vs. TA&M, right?
