What idiots! http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/561845_2597499273688_564052030_n.jpg
I really hope big trucker daddy from south of Cincinnati calls in again today.
Also prayers goes out to the families in the Northeast and Carroll County.
Who has snow?
I thought the exhibition is against Northwood not Longwood?
This is like rubber-neckin’ when you see a bad wreck… you can’t help but watch and that’s my point of view.
6 mil out of power?
Checking in from Midtown Manhattan, lucky to have power and no water damage. Unfortunately can’t say the same for lower Manhattan.
Al Sharpton? I think you mean Al Roker.
I’m in the DC suburbs and we had 70 MPH winds last night. Then we lost power around 2:00 AM. It sucks but it could’ve been a lot worse!
Al Shaprton or Al Roaker
Al Sharpton? I don’t watch your stations Matt, I just listen to this one.
Jesse Jackson diagnosed as being bipolar.
Odd disorder for someone so politically polar.
And, really, besides him, who didn’t see this coming.
Matt, Ryan is talking about Jeanne Moos. The lady that’s been on CNN forever.
who here actually wanted Tyler Roberson anyway?
Who the hell is Ryan talking about? Once again…Ryan makes a joke or analogy and has to explain it.
You might be a liberal if you rely on Al Sharpton for hurricane coverage.
I guess Tony didn’t take his testosterone shots yet at that point…
@15 – lol
Just saw John Gruden in Walgreens.
Matt FINALLY found one person in the media that he will never get into a fight or argument with. Tony is the only guy around that he wont attack. Used to be Beisner but he ruined that bridge as well.
Isn’t Vanetti tight with Pitino? You would think he would be an expert at “quick shoots” after hanging around Rick.
MAtt, welcome to the interwebz
14- She is a real reporter that’s been on CNN for a long time.
I saw where Godzilla is approaching New York. Where is Jack Black when we need him.
Al Sharpton is not looking well.
DeWalt was nicknamed The Worm!
Hey Matt,
Checking in from San Diego. We have power and no water damage.
24- so much hate will eat a man alive
Gambling is illegal in Northwood
I like Westwood and that’s my point of view
Matt,
I am writing from the future. It’s really weird, because as I write this, I remember reading it. #mindblown. Anyhow, you can thank yourself later for this:
http://www.ehow.com/how_7521873_stop-nose-whistling.html
I went to school with a guy with the last name Sweetwood.
Best sir name ever.
I miss the door.
I think Cal is going to come out of the crane.
Are you sure we’re playing Northwood? I could’ve sworn the schedule said Morningwood
Longwood is located in Virginia.
26- Good for you, pal.
For what it’s worth, Ken Pomeroy also gives us a 50% chance to lose to UL by 1 point…
Listn 2 dis right here, dat ken pom dude dont know nuttin’. Calipari prolly paid him off too.
They’ve done studies through time…was called Card Atlas
lol the whole top 5 in Pomeroy’s rankings is UK then 4 Big 10 teams
34. Morningwood is strong at the start, but once you whack em down a couple times they go away.
33- Baby Jesica- 5% chance
Chilean Miners- 35% chance
Cal- 55% chance
He was talking about SMART TVs streaming internet. Everyone would watch tv through the Internet and not use cable anymore.
Kenpom also projects UL as our ONLY loss (and again, that’s a 50% chance to lose by 1 point)!
41 – Scouts say they always come out ready to play
Matt, why doesn’t anyone remember that AD was disappointing in his Big Blue Madness debut as well?
I like chewbacca better
I thought he said Nerlens would be like a surge of vodka. That could be good too.
Joker is not going anywhere, he garners a ton of respect in the SEC…just look at the Mizzou T-Shirt!
There’s a moment that I haven’t heard anyone talk about from the ESPN All-Access that everyone should check out. It happens in the background when Calipari is yelling at Harrow about where he is on the floor. You see Goodwin catch a pass going towards the basket and going right at Cauley-Stein or Noel (can’t remember). Goodwin gets up literally to the point where his eyes are at rim level. It is an amazing play, even though he didn’t finish. Check it out!
Why would John Gruden leave his current gig to go coach a college program? That makes no sense.
If UT gets Gruden, go ahead and mark it down; Bill Cowher to UK.
Those hopper commercials have jumped the shark, and it has happened fast. This most recent one sounds like a couple middle aged Bostonian men on quaaludes.
We need to schedule the Morningwood Timbers
You guys are freaking hilarious! Thanks for brightening my day!
52 lol good one
UK should go after John Madden
we don’t play basketball, for money, against people.
Snow’s reggae is to Canada as Tony Vanetti’s acting skills are to everything.
When do we hang the door up by the banners in Rupp?
Sonny Dykes will be to UK what Derrick Dooley was to UT. He will not succeed in the SEC!
Hey Matt, how did your $1,000 bet UK would win 5 games go?
Remember…enough money can go along way in convincing certain coaches to come. Even if they cannot get it done in 3-4 years, they will go on their merry way with $16-$20million in the bank.
61 Not if he goes to UK, of course not…he will average 4-6 wins per year
63 UK cant get the kind of coach that legitimately commands that kind of salary
UK needs to go after Butch Jones from Cincinnati.
Frank Saban would also dabble in music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLJlXg34Hhc&feature=related
Coal money
Don’t think he would have success in any conference outside of the WAC!
63-20
Pitino is getting his raise before his team inevitably underperforms
There’s a lot of bad nicknames like Johnny Football, but hands down the best one is for Colin Klein at Kansas State – “Optimus Klein”
You people act like only we have money. Whatever we offer a coach, that coach has 3-4 of the same $ offers. UK can’t buy their way outta football hell. If they could it would of happened a long time ago.
I am sitting by the phone Mitch, call me..maybe?
Matthew, Saban is big enough now to win at any school he coaches. Players (even in football) go to a school to play for a coach. Look it up Alabama only has 6 of 24 committments from instate kids. Saban could field a title contender in North Dakota.
Hey TAXman – can Matt claim that $1,000 bet as a business expense?
Raazoul
Coal Money
Don’t underestimate it
It was responsible for coal fusion
It was responsible for the coal war
To me, the only person that could turn UK football around quickly would be Bobby Petrino. All other coaches might or might not turn it around but I believe Petrino would do it and do it fast.
74-Why call you when I have Joker. I aint firing him!
Hey Matt. First you say that Auburn isnt gonna fire Chizik and say we have a shot against em. Then you talk about Johnny Football from Texas A&M. Then you say Texas A&M isnt that good but you forgot that they had LSU on the ropes and are projected to play in a New Years Bowl. Then after that you say no Auburn has to fire him. You cant lose to Texas A&M like that. Make up your mind or just say you have no clue what your talking about outside of UK Athletics.
Why does Matt want Dykes so bad? Does Derrick Dooley ring a bell?
Ryan did you count the blinks with Ben Chandler and Barr last night?
I’m with you Matt, I think Charlie stays one more year because of the team he has coming back. Make one more deep run to show that it wasn’t just a flash in the pan, then he can basically get any job he wants. Every year teams underachieve, he’ll be fine. But IMO, if he wants to get back in the SEC, this year might be his best chance. Definitely a catch 22.
I bet Matt’s announcement is going to be he’s found a wifey on his just lunch dates!
Everyone who is always bringing up coal money needs to understand how the huge expansion in natural gas availability has changed the marketplace. Coal money is not as big of a player as it used to be.
Randolph “Don’t call me Bagger” Vance.
Ryan Lemond – Magistrate 2013
With a last name like LEMOND isn’t good. Vote a Lemond.
Ryan for State Auditor. He is a whiz with numbers!
Matt, the pic you’ll just put on KSr about Cal’s practice notes, WHO IS THE GUY DIGGING IN HIS DRAWERS IN THE BACKGROUND?
Ryan’s got my vote
Ryan Lemon for president 2016. “fire up the tread mill”
Ryan Lemond, Comptroller
Now you’re going to make a farce of an election?
They must have a televised debate for Ag Commish, that’s why Richie Farmer was stealing all those VHS players. He didn’t want the tapes getting out.
He’s getting grief for it, but this new Andy Barr ad is hilarious:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsZrDy6hWeA&feature=player_embedded
I like Frank Ryan better
I support Ryan Lemond’s plan to fight homelessness by actually punching bums in the face.
88. change it to “lemon”
It’s like a pair of boxers that have been worn 1 time, with a little skid mark. THAT is a better way of saying it Matt.
Where is this love fest for Rex Ryan coming from? He’s a pro guy 100%, I don’t think he would do well at all as a college coach. Plus I’m sure he’d be able to find a job in the NFL as a defensive coordinator.
lemons for ever !!!
I think Vanetti messed up his lines so much because Matt told people how old he really was the other day on the show.
Matt, what SEC school is most desperate for a good coaching replacement?
My Guess:
1. TN
2. AU
3. KY
4. AR
here’s my political platform
1) get rid of the homeless people
2) bring back the uk/iu basketball game
3) it’s always “irate dress up day”at hooters
4) take the stoplights off new circle road
5) 3 hours of KSR
What’s the news already???!!!!!
105 – Finally a platform we can all get behind. But is “irate dress up day” where they all just get pissed and wear whatever they want?
Matt, I believe that we can eliminate Sonny Dykes
From the Tennesse equation. Not so sure they
Would go back to Louisiana Tech for a coach two
Times in a row.
when life gives you lemons, make lemonaide
when life gives you aids, make lemon-aids
108 – See “Cincinnati, University of” (Brian Kelly and Butch Jones both came from Central Michigan)
As a UK fan, I am SOOO happy that Ricky 3 stacks will be at duh Ville as long as he wants!
Tony Vanetti kept going…’mmmmm, noodle soup’
110. I am aware of that. Difference is Brian Kelley
And Butch jones worked out very well for UC.
Ryan should run for Fayette County Judge Excecutive which has fewer duties than the Queen of England.
Matt, don’t be judgmental. You deliver “If it’s blue, Kennedy’s has it foooor you” line REALLY awkwardly. Careful!
PIRATE dress up day at Hooters every day!
We are down over 20,000 season tickets since Joker took over.
Tony needs the testosterone b/c his wife made him go get clipped
THANK YOU TONY VANETTI!!!!! I JUST THREW UP A LITTLE HAVING TO AGREE WITH YOU, BUT TONY VANETTI JUST GOT IT!!!!!
$821 my ass! Mine are $1,300.
Eating well and exercising kind of does the exact same thing.
Testosterone shots make you sterile. Your body will no longer make it naturally.
What if he wins??
I’m going to write in Ryan for something local Tuesday
I work in marketing and communications. I volunteer for Ryan’s campaign.
You could Ryan for Dog Catcher, but he’d probably use the position to round up homeless people.
122, you’re right. But the reason you’re taking it is because your body isn’t producing enough to be useful, anyway
We could run Ryan for a South American Ambassador of some sort…it would be hilarious watching people try to figure out why he keeps flying to Honduras
There is no reason he could not challenge his opponent to a debate for Fayette County Judge Executive. He would be afraid to debate Ryan. He could win, get a check and still hold down two jobs besides County Judge Exectutive.
Ryan needs to pray to Aqua Buddha if he wants to win an election.
122 – If your body is still making it naturally, then you don’t need the shots.
There is no election next year… but in 2014 I say run him for Fayette County Constable… Ryan with Police Powers but no actual responsibility?
“Pick a Lemmond”
State Rep. Fayette county
That should have read “who would be afraid to debate Ryan”.
Matt Jones…”King Maker”
My version came first.
I bet Ryan Lemond is a master debater.
Ryan Lemmond during the debate: Yacca!
Ryan. Unless you are running for President or Governor, you won’t have a running mate.
Ryan Lemmond for Lexington Mayor!!
We would have someone on our side on the Rupp Arena issue!!
Slogan: “When life gives you lemons, make Lemond-ade.” Vote for Ryan Lemond
Speaking of coal, I went to Jabo’s State of Mine in Hazard this weekend. The bomb! If anyone on the show thread is from there, thank them for me. Great food.
You can’t promote him on KSR, Election Finance Laws would require any ads to be counted as in-kind donations to his campaign, which are limited. You may be able to pull it off as an independent expenditure under a citizen-united angle but Ryan can’t be involved in the planning.
Let’s first try to get Ryan on the football search committee.
I gotta have a Vote For Ryan shirt.
This guy again…how many times can he pimp this horse farm?
I also have a farm you need to come and check out.
So what’s this announcement Uncle Matt?
Matt, Can you rent my house. I will buy you Subway!
Ryan Lemond should have LJ as his running mate.
Classic J Rock!
Hey Matt, what’s the deal with the Kentucky Kernel open records request on Nerlens?
J-Rock is the best caller this show has by far. “Ryan Lemond sucks!”
Was this an Opera dance?
Upcoming attack ad against Ryan, “Parking lot disputes, homeless hatred, and run-ins with Saul Smith…All from a guy that takes $30 appearance fees to drink beer.”
Just read that the NCAA is making the punishments tougher on schools and coaches for illegal activities. Maybe the first example can be Tom Crean and his A-Hope connections.
Matt u say the lady sung for you after the western game. That’s not true u said then it was still too early to make a decision.
iHeart just ran a “gluten-free” radio ad
If that is the same horse farm I think it is, I went to a wedding reception there of the daughter of the owners at that time and it was very nice.
Obama may have Springsteen, but Romney has the Oak Ridge Boys. Suck on that!
YAYYYYYY!!! Oscar and the other guy… ummm… Matt!!
Matt, I hope you’re not as hateful to Oscar as Dave Baker is. DB makes me want to punch him in the face
Ryan Lemond needs to replace David Williams in the state senate. Williams departure is going to lead to a major downturn for tanning salons and all you can eat buffets. Ryan can carry that torch.
Congrats Matt, that’s great.
Congrats Matt J…one question: will you and Oscar take calls for 45-60 mintues like Buzz does, or will you cut it off after 30 minutes like Dick “Big Blue Insider” Gabriel used to do? Or am I just going to have to tune in Thursday night and find out? đŸ˜‰
Congrats Matt, you’ll do a great job!
Hope Matt lets Oscar talk some on the pre game show this year
Yay! More Matt!
I was FOR Ryan Lemond before I was against him…
Is Buzz Baker still going to be a friend of the show now that he is losing gigs?
Congrats, they are were waiting to break it to Dick Gabriel……..
I’d vote for Ryan because his strong stance on the homeless problem we have in this state!
Auburn can get any coach they want.
Tennessee can get almost any coach they want.
Arkansas can get a LOT of big name coaches
Kentucky can maybe get the guys those schools don’t want.
Ryan needs to first garner the support of all the Mexicans and Chinese
Ryan for Lexington mayor:
Platform #1- Rupp Arena Renovation.
That is all.
No possible way Jimbo Fisher leaves FSU. FSU has been his dream job for last 8 yrs. His son has some very bad medical condition and he is getting top notch care where he is. Family is entrenched professionally and personally in the school. Jimbo ain’t moving.
Ryan’s idea regarding New Circle just earned my vote.
NO, the equal time ONLY applies 30-45 days before each election. (Like this REALLY matters…)
Great. Now I cant listen to ANY UK game without Matt and his bias views. How much money did you pay Cal for this gig? If IMG and UK Athletics have to have you as a spokesperson for us, its pretty embarrassing
176. I tend to agree with you, but I would never discount info that Paul Finebaum gets. He’s usually on the inside on the SEC goings-on.
Here’s the ticket – “Ryan and RODNEY” (Turley’s friend)
Didn’t this use to be a sports talk radio show ???
Ryan Lemond, I drink for Money!
Just lost my vote with the insistence of adding IU back to the schedule, unless you add the caveat that we do not play at their arena and IU cannot bring any fans wherever we play.
Ryan’s opponent is gonna bring up the fist fight Ryan Started in a parking lot a few months back. They’ll call him a bully
Matt I’m a year older than you and I too grew up in eastern Kentucky listening to Cawood. From a true Blue Cats fan to another, you’re living the dream brother and thank you for letting us tag along and listen in…..
I will personally donate to Ryans campaign if he disrupts Dave Ramsey
Matt you better file for a Super Pac for Ryan before he gets himself in trouble
179. They want Matt to bring his listeners. If you listen to his show, you contribute to his ratings and help him get more publicity.
Tuberville??? Really?
Why isn’t Tuberville currently working? Cuz he SUCKS
Is TT at TT? I didn’t even know… show how well he’s doing
182 – This beats talking about the sad state of affairs of UK football.
Tuberville went undefeated in 2004 with Ronnie Brown, Cadillac Williams, and Jason Campbell and didn’t get invited to the BCS title game because Oklahoma and USC got invited.
Bowden went undefeated in 1993 but Auburn was on probation.
Let’s focus on the worst possible coaching picks – Jay Paterno
No it was Tommy Tubberville – it was 2004 – Auburn got passed over and USC and OU played.
Rich Brooks won a title at oregon before he came…
You guys need to add ‘LIKE’ buttons on this thing. (and Farmville)
If Meeks is taking Kobe’s place in the lineup, he should get all 75 of Kobe’s shot attempts
Both the tiniest Bowden and Tuberville went undefeated at Barn. Bowden was like 1993 and TT was like somewhere between 2002-2004 maybe?
1993 they were under sanctions and under TT, they did not have the SOS to get past other undefeated teams.
190. Tuberville is the head coach of the top 25 Texas Tech Red Raiders
Jinx!
If I hear anymore retreads being considered for UK Football Coach…..I am going to go on a Foot Stabbing Run of Epic Proportions….A Stud Coach or an Up and Comer or the feet will pay the price!
Ryan Lemond’s idea for solving the government’s problem: play the survivor radio game and the last stance standing is the way we go. #ryanlemond2012
Worst calls about football – Any comparison to basketball or Coach Cal
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THAT IMG HAS A NOSE WHISTLE FILTER!
190. I don’t want him either but he is head coach at Texas Tech.
Does IMG not check for nose sounds?? Congrats Matt.
Andrew Wiggins = Next Kobe Bryant
UK has 19 on NBA Rosters, Louisville has 3… just sayin’
Tuberville went undefeated in 2004, but that was when Oklahoma and USC played for the BCS title.
I take that back..they have 4..T-Will, Clark, Samardo, and Garcia
Don’t you guys think IF we get that “sexy” NFL coordinator or fired Head Coach NFL coach we’re just going to have fools gold and they’ll be leaving in a matter of 2 seasons or so for another NFL job if they do any good at UK?????
Sorry, I’m all in for Dykes or Petrino or Leach…hell would love to have Kirby Smart, but that isn’t reality. I want a COLLEGE guy that is going to stay around.
202 – I would think you would be all out for Rex Ryan.
211 Is TWill still on a roster? He was cut by the Pistons last I heard
Im all for MArk Helfrich – at least we would be entertaining. Id be happy putting 50 points up a game… much less a half lol… granted we wouldnt get DeAnthony Thomas or Kenyon Barner but still lol
210- so did Bowden in 1993, but they were under sanctions and not eligible.
I just want a new coach and some positive vibes for a while
mike tise the old vikings coach is the bears d cord
212 – USC is possibly looking at Smart
211 – Didn’t T-Will get waived?
I’m a USC fan, but i would not be surprised if Oregon came in and put up 70 points.
I see that T-Will is NOT on an NBA roster…. poor t-will
212 That’s exactly why they wont come to UK…its a career dead end…your career loses all momentum when you inevitably average 4-6 wins per year at UK…who is the last UK HC to move directly into a much better HC job? This is the biggest problem when naming possible coaches…stud coaches have better options and “up and comers” will wait for a better opportunity with a top team in a lesser conference or major coordinator gig
Willie Taggart???
Whoa, wut?
Idiot. Good ideas don’t pay for votes.
Sure, you can run, but you have no shot at winning.
Is it possible that the “inside” sources keep leading us to believe we are destined for Cutcliffe, Dykes or Fullmer while all along that is just a ploy to keep us off the scent they are on for a truly good hire?
He’s up to 10 % now~!
MAtt, you have to give the other guys equal time now
I like this guy. Wish I could vote for him.
Is that dude even from Kentucky? the accent is throwing me off
Good luck to you my man, my tax dollars are not going to get you metal jaws teeth.
I am voting for “JAWS” lmao!!
and i can use industrial hemp for recreational use too. haha, and matt, great “blaze” pun.
Ryan Lemond 2012
212 — if the ex-NFLer succeeds, it’s because he surrounds himself with quality assistants, particularly those who played the game and who are interested in a future coaching career. if he leaves for greener pastures (i.e. money, prestige, ego), we have capable assistants who can hit the ground running. Take a page from Cal: recruit kids who want to play on Sundays.
