Well, here we go… I have a feeling this will be a long 362 days. Kentucky opens at 4-1 to win next year as the favorite…can we just fast forward to October?
I have a feeling that team won’t get their rings either, but Pit Bull will get his. That’s my point of view.
I can’t wait until Saturday! Spring game!
So instead of going to Disney after Cards win the NC. Ricky three stacks decides to treat himself to a tramp stamp. I guess you have to appeal to your base.

The 2012 NC was 4/2/12
The 2013 NC was 4/8/13
The 2014 NC is 4/7/14
UK had the hardware for 371 days. Louisville gets it for 364.
Only bright spot I have this morning.
Who won the National Championship last night? I was too busy screwing my sister to watch?
5- could be worse you might have been in the middle of the UL scrum that got tear gassed last night.
The commercial with kids yelling about work zones is the worst. Please make it stop.
The weather is looking Sunny and 59 for Saturday
I blew all of my monthly welfare check on Michigan last night. How am I gonna buy my OXY for the rest of the month?
5) Good one! On a side note we we up ths morning and there were shells f burned out couches on the I65 bridge this morning..and spent bullet casings all over the Yum….
Not talking about it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen BBN. Most of you are too dumb to understand the message, but for the smart ones, you know what I mean:)
Just hang up on any Card fans call in!!! THANK YOU!!
Just wait till next year! Robert Morris we are coming for ya! I think we could make it all the way to the finals of the NIT, if these new players step up to that challenge!
There is seriously a poll on cbs sports that asks which team was more impressive between 2012 Kentucky and 2013 Louisville… what a joke. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball
Lets just get Kevin slapnuts on the air now and get it over with.
KSR should aired the show from last years. Rick’s 1996 team is better than 2013.
He’s not going to go in the HOF from UK while he is still working at UL.
6, 10 — Burn in hell you prejudiced prick.
If you two clowns were prepared you would of lined up guest and talked about the SPRING FOOTBALL GAME the rest of the week and not talk that other ball until Andrew signs…..
WHAT? Pitino is a UL guy.
I have to say when he got scared after they shot off the cannons, I could read his lips. He screamed out “DUCK, IT’S SYPHER”!!!!!!!!
I didn’t know you went in the bball HOF with a baseball hat on.
Did Gregg Doyle ask Rick if he is going to retire?
Have fun with this quote! “We didn’t have unfinished business last year. We got beat by one of the great teams in the country in Kentucky,” Pitino said. “Did that prepare us? I think it’s like when you go to a really great restaurant you can’t afford it in your younger days of coaching. You’d like to get back to that restaurant. You wait for your anniversary to get back. It’s the same way here. You taste the Final Four, you love that run, you’ll do anything to get back to it. That’s what our guys did this year. I think that’s where the experience helped.”
NBC preseason poll
1. KENTUCKY
Record: 21-12, lost in 1st round of NIT
Who do they lose?: Nerlens Noel*, Archie Goodwin, Julius Mays, Ryan Harrow
Who comes back?: Alex Poythress, Kyle Wiltjer, Willie Cauley-Stein
Newcomers?: Julius Randle, Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, James Young, Dakari Johnson, Marcus Lee
Outlook: We’re assuming here that Andrew Wiggins is going to be heading to Florida State, but that doesn’t really matter. Kentucky’s recruiting class is still the best recruiting class of all time, and they also return two future lottery picks in Poythress and Cauley-Stein. I have some doubts about this group, but it won’t change the fact that they are the favorite to win it all as of today.
http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/04/09/the-way-too-early-preseason-top-25/
8- I agree…I think it’d be awesome if someone edits out the dad and put Ryan in just yelling out at the kids
I’ve never in my life seen a HOF ceremoney, so I don’t know if you go into the Hall like baseball or football. But if so, I would not want him going in reping UK.
Matt…I have a question…Why did you watch?…I watched the 2012 NC game last nite…
The one and maybe only positive about UL winning is we know for a fact who has the bulls-eye on their chest. We will be re-loaded with both in-coming through breads, as well as returning talent. Cal will be motivated like he has never been before and everyone on UK’s team should have a burning desire to achieve #9. I cannot wait to figuratively spill the blood of future opponents and when Cal smells and sees blood in the water, he is going to simply tell his team, “go for the jugular.” Just wait y’all…next season may be the best season in the history of Kentucky Basketball and I am going to f*cking LOVE IT!!!! GO BIG BLUE!!!! #BBN #RevengeTour
I like Thunder Dan… his name goes well with mine!
ryan, ask jarrod prickett how many times he still goes to two keys each week?
Ryan…What the hell is wrong with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…Sat. we are going to have FIFTY THOUSAND fans in CWS for KENTUCKY FOOTBALL spring game…Why the hell is this not the topic this morning…WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryan, then why don’t you talk about something else, dumbass! This is KSR after all.
I cannot speak for all UK fans, but personally…I am wearing my UK polo and grey Hyper-Elite Track Jacket to work today that proudly displays seven of our eight national championships. I’m not a hater….I just BLEED BLUE. 🙂
RICK PITINO IS A TRATIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…Pitino is now cleansed of forever being a part of KENTUCKY HISTORY…
duh, jarrod. vinny gets rick his tang.
Impressive to watch? Would it be impressive if the refs actually called fouls. UL’s press hacks te *hit out of you.
35 – RIGHT THERE WITH YOU BRO. #BLUEBLOODEDFOOL I will say, next year we can say, this makes a nice sandwich, 12(UK)13(UL)14(UK). Their championship (I won’t capitalize that) is sandwiched by UK Championships. We have won 3 (THEIR TOTAL CHAMPIONSHIPS) SINCE they won it last.
STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP
Ryan, for the love of God, stop asking Mr. Prickett about our tourney losses. I mean for pete’s sake!
He may have played some at BG, but Behanan is a Cincinnati guy.
I was not happy about outcome of game, but in order to keep my friendships with my Louisville friends I put this on my facebook page; Congratulations to the Cardinals. The last two years the best team in college basketball has won the National Championship. Forget Tobacco Road, Kentucky has the best basketball!
This is the greatest show ever, all this Louisville talk is great. How crazy was I thinking Kentucky sports radio would actually talk about KENTUCKY!
Watched only a few minutes of the game. What about the officiating? Looked like UL was fouling constantly, but not called. What about that clean block of Siva by Burke that was called a foul?
Behanan is NOT a Bowling Green boy. He was nothing but a high school mercenary who transferred from a Cincinnatti high school to BGHS for 2 years in an effort to win Mr. Kentucky. He’s an Ohio boy.
For God’s sake can we move on from last nights game? And can we stop going down Luh Vul’s roster talking about each and every player and what they do good? STOP!
great take from the Atlantic on how this WASN’T a “game for the ages” http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/04/actually-no-last-nights-ncaa-championship-wasnt-a-classic-game/274804/
Pitino went for cover when they shot off the fireworks after the game last night. Looked like he was reacting to gun shots.
Ryan Lemond is the GREATEST co-host in the history of co-hosts for any radio show! Literally…the greatest! 🙂
Can we interview Tony Greene?
I want a Chester call so bad. It has the potential to be the “greatest” Chester call ever…especially if he mentions “social liberalism.”
Can we talk about how great Tom Jurich is after this break.
Ryan: Discuss what kind of day Siva is having today…
Athletes & Hoes: Super Slore Jenna Shea Puts Swirly NCAA Champion Peyton Siva On Blast For Trying To Chop Her Down While He Has A Girlfriend!
http://bossip.com/755683/athletes-hoes-super-slore-jenna-shea-puts-swirly-ncaa-champion-peyton-siva-on-blast-for-trying-to-chop-her-down-while-he-has-a-girlfriend-43081/
47 — The officiating was atrocious. In addition to what you mentioned, they also missed a certain goaltend at the beginning of the game when a Michigan player hit the backboard with a shot and then had the shot blocked. No excuse whatsoever for such a missed call.
I was extremely disappointed in Nantz as the buzzer sounded. I hoped he would provide us the “greatest” #Nantzism in the history of great Nantzisms. However, “Hello Friends” is sill the “greatest” opening line of all-time.
I went back 4 years to see the average seeds that the champion has played. (Total seeds/6)
UL 8.5 avg.
UK 6.17 avg
UCONN 6.33 avg.
DUKE 5.67
Toughest road a number 1 seed can have is 5.33
Just found it interesting that there are people saying this UL team could beat UK 2012 7/10 times or more….. They averaged playing an 8/9 seed every game.
Skynyrd makes me happy. Maybe the “greatest” southern-rock band of all-time. 🙂
#L1CNotQuite4
#L1COnly3
Jurich paid off the officials.
I thought you were going to cut these turds off?? If this show does not get any better quick then I’m done!!
58 Giveth me three steps shall be in my head all day. Not a bad thing.
Might as well of had Allen Cutler in, this show ios on the same line of insanity.
🙁
This has turned into a Suxville show…shameful
🙁
Pandora here I come
I personally think Gorgui Dieng is ready to go and has clearly made himself a guaranteed first-round pick. I think he helped his stock tremendously last night and will continue to vault up the draft ratings during workouts with NBA teams. He has tremendous size and has a combination of offense and defense that most big men do not have. Maryland’s Alex Len is supposed to be a top 10 pick and, IMO, Dieng is a much better player.
He said Mike Marra was the best shooter he’d ever coached.
I think Mike Marra was the guy who Pitino said was the best shooter he had ever seen.
Mike Marra was the “best shooter” Rick Pitino has ever seen
It was me.
Call Henry George on the air! Come on Ryan! It will be radio gold!
Was it ever made known what Behanan did that got him his media ban early in the season?
Did I hear this correctly at the end of the game when the camera panned from Rick to Richard Pitino in the crowd and the announcer said “father, son and the holy ghost”??? Really?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_George
Pitino tattoo “PLAYUH”
It has to be a 15 right between his eyes.
“It was for insurance” on the lower back in ole english letters #PitinoTattoo
I would love to see the refs turn the clock back on calling fouls. It would take some growing pains but I would love to see more 100 to 96 games like we saw a couple of decades ago.
Like everything else, the tattoo should go down his leg.
71- Yeah, but I think Jim Nantz was talking about why Siva wears number 3…not about Rick and Richard
He should have a tattoo that says, “I gave her the best 15 seconds of her life”
What exactly are you smoking/drinking? Yes, UK has the most amazing class in the history of athletics coming in next/this year. UL does have a good core coming back along with the jc college point guard of the year in chris jones. You boys just worry about getting your team to mesh and if we are fortunate enough to meet next year in the tourny, then let the chips fall where they may and may the best team win.
It should say this is the best tattoo ever… i don’t believe him.
Well if we know anything about Ole’ Ricky, if he gets a tattoo, it’s going to be a “tramp stamp”….
He needs a tramp stamp with Karen shyphers pic on it
“Sypher” in a heart on his chest #PitinoTattoo
ricky p is the best shooter I’ve ever seen.
Hey KSR,
I saw this letter to the editor in the paper, thought you all could reach out and help him out.
I am an ancient (Class of ’49) Cats fan living in forbidden Gator-land. The only access to news of the Cats has been reading about them online. The charges that you now impose have stopped that. I do not wish an expensive subscription. I only want the Cats news.Can something be done to help us Cats in a foreign land – we don’t get this news in Orlando? It is my opinion that there should be an alternate approach for folks like me.
Robert GarstOrlando, Fla.
Spintino Tat : Greatest 15 seconds EVER!
Actually, you can ignore it. You can do a lot of things you want in America.
Who did you say was replacing Mary Jo Perino?
I think he should get a tattoo of Pit Bull
When did Alex get guard skills
Keith Farmer of WLKY is going to WLEX. He worked there before and at WYMT-TV
H A T E across his knuckles.
The tattoo would be a picture of the 2013 University of Louisville Men’s Basketball team with the number “2013” above it and the “GREATEST” underneath it. 🙂
Shut up???? What happened to #louisvilledoesntexsist
“The show originates in Louisville” we should talk about them. Really, I thought this was a UK sports talk show. If I wanted to listen to Louisville ass kissing I would listen to Deener or Vanetti. You are a hack, and your stupid sidekick schtick is growing tiresome.
86..he can move his arse out of gator land for one thing.
I actually wouldn’t be surprised if Pitino left after winning. He can leave a winner and not have to worry about the Calipari comparisons in the future.
I think his tattoo should say George Henry
It’s actually a show for ratings an they’ll broadcast what they want. If you don’t like it, speak up by not listening.
Not able to listen live today. #96 If you don’t like Ryan PLEASE go listen to some other station. If you don’t like Ryan then you don’t like KSR. It’s funny how the haters come on here strong when Matt is gone, because Ryan is a very nice guy, you feel like he’ll put up with it.
I watched the UK/Maryland game in Dallas last year and there were UK fans everywhere at the sports bars in Uptown. I was surprised by how much blue I saw that weekend.
#96 – we really appreciate your help. you are obviously a highly intelligent individual that is way too smart for this show. we will continue to try to improve and take it one show at a time.
You tell him Ryan!
Dwayne Peevy at game last night. Why? pic.twitter.com/p3gl8R33jQ
-78. Thanks for the explanation just an odd overlap of thre audio and video at the time.
The Cards’ leaders and team identity — Siva and Smith — are gone. They both combined to average 29 of the team’s 74 points per game, as well as 9 assists per game. Dieng, who very well may be gone as well, scored 10 points and pulled down over 9 rebounds per game. Next year’s team doesn’t have a prayer of making it back to the Final 4.
The one thing that drives me crazy about anyone who hates on KSR, Matt, Ryan, etc., is they all hide behind some dumbass, fake name in the comments section. If I write or say anything on KSR, I use my own name. Anything written or said would be said via comments section, twitter, fb, text or face-to-face. Grow some f*cking balls and if you want to be a d*ck behind a fictitious name, F*CK OFF!!!
Now Otis is advertising on KSR for their championship bballs so all you rp boot lickers can get you one…Pitiful…
23 Arrested, pepper ball guns and tear gas used to disperse the mob on UL’s campus last night. We had couches on fire, and @Kate on State. Hey Lil brother, “Act like you’ve been there before.” Oh wait, if your my age you were 3 the last time you won the big one. #LOUISVILLEDOESN’TEXIST #REVENGETOUR2014
Ryan…figure out how to block people like #96 from the show thread and implement immediately. Or simply ask BBN and KSR fans to attack and we will with a ferocity that has never been seen or experienced before on KSR. 🙂
I am disappointed Ryan didn’t call me to help host the show and talk fur coats
This couldn’t have been a worse tournament for UK fans; Louisville wins, UK doesn’t make it and almost every game I watched had a kid on their team that “almost” came to UK and would have been a solid contributor/missing piece.
a tatoo of CONWAY TWITTY!!
Rick needs a wedding ring tattoo so he doesn’t forget.
I got it-
A tatoo of a tear drop…..on his leg.
Sorry, couldn’t resist. lol
105) Probably like in high school basketball, all coaches and AD’s usually go to the state tournament on the schools dime. Just a perk of the business persay. I would say most D-1 coaches and ad’s probably get the same deal.
Wow…Danny is upset.
Danny you dont have to listen to the show either. Get a life TROLL!
Shut the fuq up man. That was a worthless call and you don’t have to listen.
Spit it out. Cut him off. Danny should listen to Chris Cross.
Shut this guy up. He hasn’t been around since the site started. He doesn’t know what this site is/was about. Danny needs to go away. Isn’t this the same guy that was complaining about the ticket distribution and not getting a whole row for himself?
AMEN to DANNY!!!!!!! Tell them Brother……I’m changing the station if it keeps up
How sad is Danny? He needs to get a life!
danny sucks…. it’s talk radio, you have to talk about something!
I agree with Danny, enough loserville talk!
Danny is the most miserable caller ever. I need another xanax.
Hats off to “the ‘Ville” they did it. Now it’s time to get the “L” out. Next year’s coming. 🙂
No more L yeah.
There are plenty of Louisville stations to get UL info…….why does this have to be another?
113 — Totally agree. Was the worst tournament I’ve ever watched in my life. There is a bright side for me, though. I usually feel a small level of depression the day after the national championship game because I hate the fact that college bball is over. This year, though, I actually am quite relieved it’s all over.
tramp stamp of Ricky that says KSR…. karen sypher rules
Are they really trying to compare this year’s UL team, a team that was 35-5, had a 3 game losing streak, a loss to a Villanova team that was destroyed by Alabama; a team that won it all in a year that college basketball was mediocre; where the word parity ruled the landscape and a large amount of teams were predicted to have a shot in the tournament to last year’s UK team; a team that lost to Vandy (a solid team with several NBA players) that they beat 2 other times, and Indiana (on a buzzer beater) that UK knocked out of the tournament; finished 38-2 and were 1 of maybe 2 teams projected to win the tournament for being dominant; a team that also beat essentially this same UL team two times, and had 6 players get drafted??
Seriously? If the entire UK team returned, and you add a couple of recruits they would have been 40-0 this season. Good lord I can’t wait for next season.
#128……You got the right attitude! Congrats….lets move on
Long for the day when Ryan is replaced on this show…
BBN is happy about football prospects but we love basketball. It wouldn’t have mattered who won or played in the championship game, we would be talking about it today. We’re definately going to talk about it if it’s our in state rival. People act like we aren’t going to talk about it because it’s our in state rival. I didn’t cheer for them but I don’t have a huge problem with Louisville winning. We’ve won 3 titles since they won their last one…I’m not intimidated by their great year. It just happened to coincide with a rough year for us, might as well get it over with at the same time.
Sitting Trey Burke with 2 fouls for the last 12 minutes of the first half was a big mistake.
I’m gone….someone replaced this show with a UL show….maybe tomorrow
Refs also missed diengs goaltend the announcers even commented in how bad officiating was
#125…Agree with Danny…How about we talk about spring fb!!!!
#137…Amen
When Danny calls Shannon needs to Q the “waaaa..waa waa waa waa waaaaa..waa” that Matt talks about.
If you Google the maxim club house Augusta you will see the heaven in which Matt will be spending the next few days…Oh good lawl! Heaven help him!
136 I disagree.
#142… Augusta is a beautiful place…TV doesn’t do it justice…It is much hillier than it looks on TV….
Todd go away.
Guess you love the rubbing it in Ryan..LOL
Not just a pretty place…but lots of pretty faces 🙂 http://www.maxim.com/maximtv/maxims-masters-party-augusta-ga
I love you Ryan, but not tuning in to hear Cardinals crow. I won’t call in and bitch like Danny, but I will hit the off button.
Ryan———
I still say the best tatoo for Pitino is the “tear” drop on his leg. lol
Ba-dump-bump.
Ryan…Listen to your boss…When Benedict opens his mouth he is lying….
The Harrison twins and Julius Randle will certainly clock 30+ minutes per game. They are too good to be sitting for the sake of using a so-called “deep bench”.
Hey,
Is this thing on???? haha
RYAN—
I believe that Louisville’s WIN further validates the UK vs.UL rivalry that you see so much in the Auburn/Alabama football rivalry. I am the biggest UK fan but I feel when they won that can propel the rivalry to the national stage.
136 — I disagree, too. Ryan is an awesome part of this show. He’s also a real good dude.
#L3C8
Danny is a terrible caller, however, he had an excellent point this morning. Hate to say it, but it’s true.
The city of Augusta is actually pretty crappy, but once you enter the golf course, you’re transported to Heaven.
It’s time for and ESPN 30 for 30 about the UK/UL rivalry
I’ll def be at the Spring Game and excited for all of the pre-game activities! I cannot wait for Keeneland on Friday and UK Football on Saturday. 🙂
Beyond a shadow of a doubt…to the fool…the ACC won’t be the SEC of football until it gets it’s own major network TV contract for 20+ years and win 7 titles in a row. It won’t happen…beyond the shadow of a doubt..
Someone shoot that caller that turned it back to ul!
Can’t stand the iHeartRadio App commercial either.
Would we have seen a legacy with Pitino like Coach K has created at Duke, if Pitino had stayed at Kentucky…I think so, and likely would have had about 5 titles in that run.
I like Denny Crum (now that he’s retired), but is he just too dumb to realize how poorly U of L treated him?
Matt, I’m curious. Are you a Tiger fan?
Bobby Hurley just got a head job somewhere?
hmmmm
Awesome news on CatWalk and the ticket distribution for spring game…Be there bright and early…
Couches, dumpsters and matresses among structures burned!
