Sting sounded like a real good guy and a real good dad! Matt did you think about using a bottle inside the car instead? Also, is Rand Paul still coming on the show sometime this summer?
So how many people are in the dog house from the KSR game yesterday? Sounds like a rough place to be. My wife was VERY happy that I didn’t do that to her. I’d be sleeping in a van down by the river.
Have you got any snapchat picture of people randomly peeing behind tractors uncle Matt?
I hope Chris Cross isn’t there with you all.
Danny (from yesterday) only wishes he had a huskier tone.
Quit deleting my comments when I call you out for your Rat Face, Mrs Rat Face
When is KSR gonna show sum love to Stanton Truit 2014 ATH outta GA. He’s on Barkers lists of recruits! This kid is Randall Cobb 2.0! Berrios is gd but he cant see this kid! Look at these highlights! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySiaLE-PdpU
Last time Uncle Matt and Cousin Ryan was doing the football thing someone was yelling… did this happen again?
The thing that gets me about this recruiting class is that in the past if we got any one of these players , and that happened rarely, we would have been stoked. We would have spouted off to our rivals “oh yeah… Wait till Johnny 4 star suits up… We’ll be kick’n your butts then.” I ‘m not sure how to take all of this success.
A fight and some issues down the road is not worth 2 tickets anywhere. Brave men out there, I am not one of them.
6- Look up TV Williams….would be our version of Tavon Austin
Are they selling any delightful mcmuffins?
Hey guys
My son is out there playing in the Larry Gilbert golf event. Find Tyler Hart and say “HI” to him. He is 12 and will be thrilled.
#2 Same here. Told my long time gf about the game and she was very very happy I didn’t do that.
Jones doesn’t have to live with the ramifications, we do! Lower level BBM tickets weren’t incentive enough for that fallout
I played ball with Mike Kerplunkerdink in High School and he was a solid 3 star at the time. His career just never panned out as expected.
How long until Mike Kerplunkerdink has his own Twitter page?
unless you’re Ron Zook
15. the spelling is strong with you
Kerplunkerdink has a super hot sister!
Don’t pee on anything out there unless it’s Chris Cross, that’s my point of view.
Just to Give people an Idea.
Timeline of James Franklin @ Vandy:
Recruiting Class Before Tenure: 70th in Rivals
Year 1: 6-7
Recruiting Class Ranking: 29th
Year 2: 9-4
Recruiting Class Ranking: 19th
Next Year: ?????
I think that’s the pattern we see Stoops follow, but I say 5 wins his 1st year…
“whatever he touches, commits to Kentucky”
May want to rephrase that
Anyone know who might be the recruit that could commit today?
Vince Morrow needs to be secured for years to come in Lexington!!!! He is awesome on recruiting front
We can’t get overly excited about these commitments. We still have to hang on to them. Buzz is at an all time high, with our schedule we could have a rough year. Some of the hype of Kentucky may lose its luster to some of them.
6th in Rivals, 5th in 247
OOT For Stoops
Do you think this 2014 Football class will be to the football program like Cal’s first year was to Kentucky basketball?
FOUR STAR U
Is it just me or does Matt sound like Ryan today? Very loud, hyper and excited?
He’s ready to go!! Someone caught the football bug
Who needs the little blue pill, *cough* _iagra *cough*, when you have Stoops and Co. Recruiting at this level! UK FB future is so bright….might finally get to wear those shades!
Hey Lawdawg…you think that Chad Johnson ass slap will set a precedent for future ass slaps in Florida courtrooms?
Neil Armstrong is from Lima, Ohio
well its Wapakoneta but Lima is close
Don’t forget about Darius Kerplunkerdink
We have 4 4-star guys and 9 3-star players according to Rivals. However, Flannigan hasn’t been evaluated yet so we get no points for him. He is thought to be a 4-star JUCO LB. Denzel Ware will also eventually get his 4th star back and if we get Elam, he will eventually get his 4th as well. Tymere Dubose could wind up a 4-star guy. JAred Tucker could get a 4th too and you cant forget about Braylon Heard (55th best player in nation in 2010). UK is said to be the “quiet leader” for Artavis Scott and Braxton Berrios could get a 4th as well….This class could EASILY wind up with 10 4-star guys:
4-Stars:
Drew Barker
Thaddeus Snodgrass
Mikel Horton
Darius West
Braylon Heard (transfer)
Jared Tucker
Denzel Ware
Ryan Flannigan
Possibly add Artavis Scott and the BIG FLIP that will happen: Marcelys Jones….OL from Ohio
Matt nextime you publicly expose yourself keep it classy and do it an italian restuarant.
Darius Rucker mentions the Cumberland Gap in his Wagon Wheel song.
Matt whats the story behind Lewisville bringing C. Johnson and Pacman Jones in once they get out of jail
Good for you Matt. You gotta take care of Rose.
37. Please tell me you’re joking.
So are we back on the Big House Bourbon bandwagon? We were on it, then off and now I hear commercials again. Matt told us to dump out all the bottles we had at one point. Is that no more?
How much money is Shannon getting to promote Big House Bourbon… it’s not made in Kentucky and Dan Dakich likes it…
22- Either one of the Following
Blake Bone: 4* WR (Offers from Ark, Clemson, USCe, LVille, Ole Miss)
Derek Kief: 4* WR (Great Friends with Edwards, WEst and Barker) (Offer from Alabama, OSU, Notre Dame)
Adam Duckett 3* (5.7) OL (OFfer from FSU but USCe, Auburn and Ark taking a long look)
no bourbon should touch the ground no matter what anyone says i might not buy it anymore but it should not be wasted pursuant KRS. 9-7yr .o1
That judge waaaay overreacted in the Chad Johnson case. She told him his lawyer did a good job, he agreed and went with the ass slap. Had the court room not started laughing, it would have been a non issue.
how can it be called bourbon if its not made in KY
I can say that this judge is a complete beotch.
On the Steve Czaban show this morning they mentioned that the judge is legally blind so may not have seen the playful slap and only heard the snickers. Also it was supposedly not the 1st time Ocho had done something that elicited snickers in her court. Possibly an overreaction but much like when a cop pulls you over, it’s best to be on your BEST behavior and not be “playful”
#46 Although +90% of all bourbon is made in KY, it’s not required to be made in KY to be bourbon.
LOL, Ryan just repeated what Matt said…love it
43. Do you think Keif is the least likely? I know he’s friends with those guys, but I feel like Alabama is his obvious favorite for some reason.
lot more people were listening back then than you think
That caller had it right. The judge told him that he really needs to thank him, because he did such a great job.
Chad Johnson was there for violating probation that he received when he was arrested for headbutting his girlfriend. He deserved whatever he got.
now we know why shannon is the dude
He’s pimping bourbon from California?
Unite got canceled? Didn’t see that coming at all
I like UK hiring Rachel Newman, NCAA Enforcer, as their new Sr Associate AD for Compliance
If Safelite Auto Glass makes you sound like you’re drunk, I don’t wanna use them. lol
Thadious Snoddgrass tweeted out that more good news coming today for BBN! Another recruit?
Sandy Bell is “Chief Compliance Officer”
51- Kief is the most unlikely
Id say Blake Bone ….maybe Brady Taylor (3* OL) or Duckett
Chris from Richmond is the worst and Clay Travis is the worlds biggest troll!
dont think its made in california the company that owns it is based in cal but not made there
I’m fairly certain Sandy Bell has the same background; working for the NCAA before she came to Kentucky.
Chris From Richmond:
” Call pays players ”
Everyone else:
“Prove it”
Chris From Richmond:
“It is what it is….”
The problem with Chad Johnson is that his judge was a female. Do not push the button of a female judge if you’re in court over a domestic violence charge for assaulting a female. You have to be smarter than that.
PBA ryan? Professional Bowlers Association? lol
Makes me think of that ESPN commercial about the old white dude named Michael Jordan and everyone is bummed when they met him
i always file my phonebook next to my atlas in a drawer of things i dont need anymore
he is in court because of domestic violence the judge is mad because he will get out of it then he smacks someone on the butt what did you think would happen
andrew bogut
Wasn’t St. Mary’s CA loaded with Aussies?
Every player for Pepperdine.
Bogut is the highest paid athlete from the continent of Australia
Andrew Bogut
and by Pepperdine I mean St. Mary’s – whoops
at $11.2 million a year.
Matt, you need to realize UK is not going to be getting Tyus Jones. You are leading fans on that there is hope and in reality it just isn’t going to happen.
Ramel Bradley has to grin evertime Bogut is mentioned
Matt why would you want the french fry head cover as a conversation starter because when you go to the movies,Qudoba,golfing, and on vacation you dont like to talk to anyone?
Andrew Bogut
Patty Mills
Matt, the best time to see summer pickup games is when Cal holds his summer camps for kids. The UK players play after the camp ends each night over at the Seaton Center.
Patty mills and Ben Allen plus the rest of st. Mary’s team
weed guns rental car with a boosters name on the receipt = the Carolina way
The phone book is still a better option than the Internet at certain times…kind of like the atlas. Only need it a few times a year but worth having around.
What did Scotty Wilbekin?
once i seen the drugs weighed .1 of an ounce lower than what is required for a felony i knew nothing would happen
Cracks me up that everyone says that the one and done and john calipari are making a mockery of the institution of college yet at UNC, where there is CLEARLY SYSTEMATIC ACADEMIC FRAUD, they get away with it because of their “name”
Matt: don’t feel bad about your contest! You didn’t force anyone’s hand. They made the decision to send the text (*cough* Ryan *cough*). The results/consequences are 100% NOT your fault! Stay strong Matt! lol
90 its now none as won and done
PJ Carlisimo interviewed for the UK job when Pitino was hired
85. Matt Dellavadova
lets see camp out for 4 days to get uppers at BBM or text my wife and hope she flips i will sleep on the couch for a night, for lowers
Would disagree, it is obviously a negative thing. It’s an admission of lying = negative.
Now going to extremes, that is a culture thing.
Guarantee that girl was black…
That text is the canary in the mine.
WINNER!!!!
He’s gonna have to find someone else to go to the game with
that guy should take his brother
The video camera should be your winner
His brother is a piece of $hit
No way that’s real. The dude told his wife what was happening and how to respond.
Good move, dude.
Dude dont give that guy tickets. Totally fake!! He stole that from a radio show that was asking the same question and that was his wife’s response.
No way that last one’s real, Nathan Fielder has a response just like that one when he did it originally.
That’s an old Radio gag where a guy calls his wife and says he got fired for sleeping with his secretary. She starts going off and says “That’s why I’ve been f—ing your brother!”.

Been around for a while.
THE LAST STORY IS FAKE. IT WAS A YOU TUBE VIDEO ABOUT 4-5 YEARS AGO. ALMOST WORD FOR WORD. I WILL TRY TO FIND THE VIDEO.
Here’s the link to the Nathan Fielder one.

Matt, beware of fakers
http://ifaketext.com/
you should mention some of the “good” trusting ones too.
Videocamera one reeks of fake.
I am not a fan of the Poker stuff on tv, too many of them are gambling addicts and I just feel sorry for them when watching.
You all are keeping me entertained while I drive on the back roads of Monroe Louisiana
In most of this country basketball is not a major sport. Just the facts Matt. My guess is Matt doesn’t know who won the Football Championship two years ago.
Louisville will play Indiana to open up the College World Series.
Will Louisville win that award for overall most successful year? Who’s in the running for that?
ucla the year they beat us and lewisville on way to championship
You would have had a bigger crowd if you actually told us when the cruise was and what cruise line it was on.
I agree with Ryan that it would be awesome for Kentucky to make the CWS one time. Realistically though, we will have to fire Coach Henderson and get a new coach for that to happen. Coach Henderson is not getting it done. Louisville’s baseball coach is no joke.
Didn’t the UK baseball team beat the UL team once this year?
do we really need to go through this right now i was there last year
117. I checked the Capital One Cup standings yesterday and Louisville is in 4th. Duke is 1, Alabama 2, Indiana 3, Louisville 4.
Not to be a downer, but Christopher Columbus went to his grave thinking he found India.
121 yes and indiana we also played s.c. dont remember the outcome in that one
Probably Lamar Dawson
This week is one of my favorite weeks of the year with the playing of the U.S. Open in golf. There is just something special about the U.S. Open.
Matt Elam is from John Hardin High School
Best show in months, Matt. Thanks for the laughs, dude
Alabama offered that scrub Zeke Pike
122. There you go. They have had the 4th best college athletic year, not the best year in the history of the universe.
117 – if my math’s correct it looks like UL needs to finish in the Top 4 in the final USA Today/ESPN Top 25 Coaches’ Baseball Poll in order to win the Men’s Capitol Cup. http://www.capitalonecup.com/ (that’s assuming there aren’t any other men’s sports still going on)
we will beat someone this year that we have no business beating mark it down
get him matt! trolls..geez
told him half your money comes from lewisville fans like him and all the guy can say is excuse me its almost like you smacked him in the mouth
132 i do believe the standings will be over and poll reset by the time that happens
136 – CWS is over by late-June and the ESPY’s are in July so I’m sure Baseball is included in the final Capitol One standings. The final baseball poll will come out soon after the CWS.
