I enjoyed seeing the melt down from the Louisville media over Charlie Strong. It will be really interesting if they hire David Cutcliffe. A guy most of us didnt want last year, although we’d probably want him now after the season Duke had.
I didn’t know what to do since there wasn’t a game on this weekend.
So UofL didn’t have class today? Was that because of the cold or Charlie Strong leaving? I heard Joker was calling.
Marcus Lee backboard dunk>>>Dominique Hawkins past Lee
It’s just cold. It’s ice cold. Wind chills near -36 today and tonight. Keep your pets inside. Check your neighbors. Only 3 tomorrow. Upper 50’s by the end of the week.
Thanks Mr. Obvious. I couldn’t tell it was cold outside. By the way, screw my neighbors…
Someone pee in your “frosted” flakes? I think so.
I hope Shannon The Dude plays George Strait “All My Exes Live in Texas” when Matt talks about Louisville, Charlie Strong and the end of the year of the card
So when the alarm went off at 5:40 this morning for my girlfriend to get up (I stay in bed til 6:30). I heard the radio guy go, “No, Chosen from Karate Kid II was the answer we were looking for.” I was so intrigued by what could have prompted such a question my mind wouldn’t stop racing and I have been up ever since.
I just got back from vacation too. When do Elam, Jones, and the 2 Glenville Guys arrive on campus? I’m so excited about their talent. KSR had it here first that they were all coming to UK!
See DREW FRANKLIN, I was proven right. You are a LIAR! By the way, where is my ban, again?
How were you proven right? You said either a call never happened or if it did it would be a NCAA violation. I have not seen a report that proved that phone call never happened & like many people already told you the call was allowed to take place.
Refer to UL as “Stepping Stone U”. The UL fans LOVE that.
Welcome back Matt and Goofy Ryan, missed you both.
Congrats on the ratings MHJ! It’s so cold outside Rick can only stand it for 15 seconds.
It’s time to get your brass monkeys in !
So much for your liberal “global warming,” Matt Jones. I guess we’re never going to see an apology for this propaganda, huh?
One cold week in January doesn’t mean global warming doesn’t exist. 2012 was the hottest year on record in the US. Read a book or go to the NRDC website. Scientific facts don’t have a political agenda.
Ryan is starting a new boy band Zero Degrees.
Matt, According to TIME, 92% of all new year’s resolutions fail. With your degree/degrees rant on Ryan, looks like you’re in the 92%.
Matt, UofL should go ahead and hire Joker and make BBN happy!
Matt, you want to know what -15 feels like? It feels exactly like 1 degrees. Exactly the same. It can only feel so cold…..
First show of the new year and Matt crushes Ryan on grammer. Matts New Years resolution didn’t make it through the first segment.
The Matt Elam decision to delay his announcement left me feeling out in the cold like its 1 degrees.
The longer the delay, the less likely Elam will be coming to UK. Got to face the facts.
LMFAO, Matt it took you all of 3 minutes to break 1 of your “New Years Res.” Starting off dogging your boy Mr. Lemon. We all know you love Ryan, and I think it is humorous when you do it, but take it easy on him, he may be extra sensative this year. LOLOL
L1C4(Longhorns 1, Charlie 4-ever gone)
Do you see Vandy’s James Franklin going to Penn State? If so, do we get any of their recruits?
Here’s another possibility: maybe he was going to commit to Bama, but spending the week with Barker made him waver…..
Do more people watch the All-American game as opposed to National Signing Day? I’ve never watched a single All-American game but have watched signing days in the past. I think it would be more publicity in him choosing on National Signing Day.
Rich Rodriguez is at Arizona, right?
Yup
He is.
If Rodriguez is smart he will stay there .
I hope Elam comes to UK, but can’t blame the young man for going to Bama. Its Bama! If a young man from Tuscaloosa could play basketball for the Tide or come to UK, I would hope the people of Alabama wouldn’t hold any ill will to that kid for coming to UK.
BRING ON PETRINO………WE AINT SCERD.
Who cares if UofL fans cannot say they are more classy?? What matters more is that Petrino led UofL will kill UK.. if you do expect that, you are in denial
WKU went 8-4
I say bring on Petrino! (UK will lose no matter who their coach is)
Matt Elam finally has come to the realization of who Kentucky football is. To quote Matt Jones previously . . “We is what we is”. The UK football program is headed nowhere and Elam deep in his heart knows that. We’ll never be a program that will have a chance to win more than 5 or 6 games a season. Maybe Stoops can bring us back to that point, but that’s the ceiling for this program. It’s amazing how the traditional bad football programs can all turn it around, except for UK. Vandy, Duke, etc. Just can’t be done here. As much as I would like for Elam to come to UK, he’s an idiot if he doesn’t go to Alabama.
I guess Louisville didn’t learn their lesson with Bobby Petrino the first time. Stupid is as stupid does.
Ummm…
Quick correction, Bobby’s team was 8-4 not 7-5.
UH OH! Here we go with Matt raising expectations of the fan base again……
The Cafeterias at UofL are celebrating the End of the Clint Hurtt Era.
Yeah, because Stoops is thin…
I’m sure there are frustrated cafeteria workers in Lexington too…
does strong have an agent?? seems like for 3rd year in a row that wayy more info was leaked than he wouldve wanted each time.
Global warming?
stop. just. stop.
lol
UK football fans are DEFINITELY more classy than UofL fans, no question, they are also losers and gluttons for punishment, but classier, yes
Agreed. When Louisville football was down, there WAS NO fan base. We bitch and complain, but we are still BIG BLUE NATION!
I like Petrino’s chances of landing the job.. Jurich has shown a fondness for adulterers……
Matt, how about that girl who was in the pic with Julius Randle…..WOW!!!!
My thought on Petrino is that he has only been at WKU a year and if he left the school for UL, what does that say about his character to leave a school that fast. Example: If a girl will cheat on her man with you, she will cheat on you when she become your woman! Let him come to UL and then we can have this same conversation in 3 years when he leaves for somewhere else.
But Bobby wouldn’t do that to Louisville. Not again. It’s Louisville, right?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I must be stupid.
Matt I have a question on the Free Throws. Could it be that in practice they shoot with a wall behind them and when it comes to games there is that debt of the stadium? I know sometimes that can have an affect sometimes.
UofL’s record of bringing douche bags back to the state says that Bobby Petrino has already received an offer.
Matt had this team losing 5-6 more games the rest of the season after UNC, now we beat Belmont and Louisville and he watches a practice, and here we go again here comes Matty Hype comparing to 2012 practicing like a champion and all this other pumped up hype. We can’t we just be a good team thats improved, which is what most sensible people thought. Just wait we’ll drop a bad sec game here in the next few weeks and matt will be talking about being a 6 seed or some bs
WIth the heart monitor thing they still know that free throws are coming so they are prepared to shoot them. It would be better to randomly stop practice and have them shoot free throws when they arent expecting it. If you want to put the closest thing to ‘game pressure’ on them have one guy make 4 out of 5 or the entire team runs.
I would love to see Petrino go back to Louisville just to dump them again in 2-3 years for a better job.
I’m not worried with Elam. The kid loves the recruiting process. He loves the attention. Let him take his time and make the best decision for him. UK fans should be happy he didn’t accept the Bama offer on the spot. You can’t fault him if he goes them.
there*
Someone needs to tell your engineers to stop making your voices so deep reading commercials. Matt sounds like he has watermelon testicles reading that script.
How come no one has proposed the idea that some of the Alabama recruits got in Elam’s ear at the Army game causing him to second guess his decision? Couldn’t that have happened just as likely as Barker’s trying to get in other recruits ear about UK?
I heard Dennis Rodman tweeted he was excited to be going to his first North Korean style dog fight. I hope he isn’t too surprised.
Is there anything more comical than hearing some of the names the UL fans are throwing around as possible choices? In about 10 minutes driving into work this morning I heard Mike Gundy, Mark Dantonio, and Al Golden mentioned. What a joke!
My Brother and Dad are both carrying the mail in Adair County today.
Matt, you can tell the difference in -1 & -15…I’m in South Dakota, trust me we deal with this weather all the time. It’s -18 this morning with a -40 wind chill…..-1 aint that bad at all.
To be fair, when it gets below 32, I don’t stay outside long enough to notice the difference!
Matt you get what you deserve. You’re the BEST and THAT is why you and Ryan Beat ANY Music station.
Looking forward to seeing the guys play after camp cal!
Billy P had terrible jokes. But he was right about Obama. You’re boy is going down in November, Matt Jones!
Matt….is the body language good in practice?
It’s only called “Climate Change” now because “Global Warming” didn’t do so hot.
“BTW the climate is changing and has always changed, with or without man!” says anyone with common sense and who thinks for themselves
If Elam is smart, he’ll reopen the ND recruitment just in case this pro football thing doesn’t work out.
Im working on cable lines today… it hurts.
Matt I had a UL fan tell me that he follows you on twitter to get his UL news. I think he was attempting to be sarcastic so I said is that because your local media only asks Tom Jurich approved questions.
Matty Alou was a helluva hitter back in the day. Don’t tell him not to go by Matty.
Global warming also involves the ozone layer depleting and the atmosphere not being able to retain heat… hence flash freezing
Waiting for someone to will crush Matt on the irony of his “Maty rant” and his Bachelor talk…in 3…2…1…
What about Tommy?
At what age do you drop the “e/ie” at the end of your name? Is it the same point where you change your name from Richard to Dick?
Sorry to say it, “Dickey,” is tough to take.
Hey Matt,
Would it be fair to say a key difference between this years team and the 2012 team was the NBA lockout? Namely the way the 2012 team benefited from being able to practice against the likes of the entire OKC team plus LeBron and Rondo? I’d heard that that was the 2012 teams first reality check that they weren’t what they thought they were and taught them to play as a team rather than for themselves. Something the 2014 team seems to have struggled with early on. Just a thought.
Don’t tell me what to do Matt, stop talking down to me. your not my father. I will call him Matty if I want, we call him Johnny not John or Johnathon, it’s the same thing. I want to punch you I’m the face Matty jones
My name is Thomas. I tell everyone i meet that my name is either Thomas or Tom. But all my friends i’ve had for years still call me Tommy.
How you been dude? Hope you’ve been good!
Ashley
My brother in law is named Mike and he keeps going by Mikey and I WON’T call him that – the dude is older than me!! It’s just weird
I agree he should go by Mike or Michael. The only Mikey I know was in The Goonies.
He LIKES it! Hey Mikey!
We like Stevie (Johnson and Wonder)
Jordy Hulls. Not certain Jordy should be used for a grown man, although Jordy Nelson has fared well.
Was that Rusty Cage?
What do you call a guy with no arms or legs?
MATT.
Billy, Willie, Jimmy?
I cringe when I hear people say Mizzou for Missouri. I refuse to shorten a name by 2 characters…that’s just dumb.
Mikey for Mike or Michael. Hate it
No man should call another man Matty, but watch the Bachelor!
I always hated Stevie growing up. Stevie Johnson would be an example today
Cant call a grown man Jordy. My name is Jordan, and if you call me Jordy I punch you in the throat.
Hey Matt, could you please put Billy’s calls on Indefinite suspension?
NICKY
Matt, you don’t like Mattie, obviously because you wouldn’t want to be called that–too close to home.
Dana would be an unfortunate first name (i.e. Dana Altman).
Any UL Football commits that were also considering UK. Any chance of flips with the coaching changes?
How about Charley, Richey, Arney, Rickey, Danny
Matty Jones loves his “Y’s” especially his daddys Danny Dakich, Tommy Jurich, Ricky Pitino, & Tommy Crean. You are forever Matty Jones now
Can we get an apology for the racist Charlie Strong pic from yesterday?
No. Any Blazing Saddles reference is gold.
I didn’t see anything racist about it.
sooo…when Matt was at bball practice…have they learned to run the break yet?
Shannon should be demoted for playing anything by the The Goo goo dolls.
Matt Jonesâ€@KySportsRadio21h
Men who say The Bachelor sucks haven’t seen it… Beautiful, crazy women fighting each other to date one guy they don’t know. It’s awesome
Matty were you describing what it’s like at remotes here?
How do I get rid of the ee/ie in my name?
Did u see on Twitter that Matt Elam has been stranded in some airport since yesterday? Said he may get home today.
Dicky, Ricky, I think the ones with two consonants are OK tho… Donny, bobby, Ronny, tommy, Sammy
Matt – don’t argue with Shannon about music
Shannon – you rock. literally
Matt,
Goo Goo Dolls and Nickelback? Really? That’s like comparing Conway Twitty and Zac Brown.
So that’s why Julius had cramps 😉
Can someone link the Randle picture please?
Benjie is THE WORST for a grown man
Why can’t miss piggy count to 70?
Because every time she gets to 69 she gets a frog in her throat.
Shannon, Sugarland’s “Joey” would be a great lead-in song for the next segment.
Jeffrey?
I think that the name thing really depends on the personality rather than conforming to some douchy social standard.
Mikey is another name.
CHARLIE is badass
Leave my name out of this….
Benny and the Jets time?
Siva gone, Dieng gone, Teddy gone, and Charlie Strong gone! Bring on Bobby Petrino, someone I can truly hate on!
A grown man can’t go by John John.
Why are my comments awaiting moderation? Did I say a bad word?

There is the list of affiliates showing the SEC TV games this week. No listing of the game being on in Louisville.
Dish is offering a free preview of ESPN Full Court and I get the game on 462. I live in Pike Co.
Charlie Strong was only offered the job after Rick Barnes officially removed his name from consideration…
He’s right:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/college/news/1998/08/09/louisville_pleads/
That’s right! WMYO (Which stands for My Opinion.) That’s my point of view.
We were a pretty good stepping stone for Bear Bryant
My voice changed during a song, Ryan’s when he gets excited.
Way to bash Kentucky football and its history, Matt Jones.
Outside of Mumme and Morriss, was any UK coach a D1 coach after they left UK?
Bear Bryant
and Bill Curry
I thought SMU football was the only ‘death penalty’ ever issued. (Where do these idiots come from?)

Matt, maybe this bozo who just called was talking about this?

Was one of the search results a death penalty for someone named Billy Clye????
My point was Matt that you said we were going to lose 5-6 more games, but now after attending ONE practice you’re not worried. They are a good team with potential to get better. And I love how I interact with show thread a lot and the first time I’m critical you actually read it and then tell me not to listen. You have the best show just grow a little thicker skin

In 1998 uofl went in front of the NCAA regarding recruiting violations that could have resulted in a one year death penalty, however, the NCAA cleared them.

The University of Louisville president, John Shumaker, and nine of his top athletic officials appealed to the National Collegiate Athletic Association yesterday not to impose the death penalty on the men’s basketball program over recruiting violations.
At a nearly four-hour closed meeting in Seattle, enforcement investigators for the N.C.A.A. Division I Infractions Committee and university officials discussed, among other things, an assistant coach’s telephone call in 1996 that may have broken the five-year probation the N.C.A.A. imposed two years ago.
The committee could impose punishment short of the death penalty — a one-year shutdown of the program — or accept Louisville’s self-imposed penalties. A decision is expected in four to six weeks.
I think we took dramatic steps, painful steps, and whether that is sufficient, the committee will have to make the decision on that, Shumaker said.
I think this is what the guy is talking about.

NCAA hears Louisville’s case on recruiting violations
‘Death penalty’ decision expected in 4 to 6 weeks
Click here for more on this story
Posted: Sunday August 09, 1998 06:01 PM
SEATTLE (AP) — University of Louisville president John Shumaker and nine of his top athletics officials pleaded with the NCAA Division I Infractions Committee Sunday not to impose a one-year “death penalty” shutdown of men’s basketball over recruiting violations.
At a nearly four-hour closed meeting, enforcement investigators and university officials discussed, among other things, an assistant coach’s telephone call in 1996 that may have broken the five-year probation imposed by the NCAA two years ago.
Eight other violations occurred in the women’s volleyball program. Although Louisville agreed with the NCAA on seven of the nine violations, two remained in contention.
Most of the violations pertained to recruiting efforts or giving athletes and their relatives extra benefits.
“We had a very good discussion. It was cordial, it was analytical, it was penetrating,” said Shumaker as he left the hotel ballroom where the meeting was held. “It was not highly adversarial at all.”
But Shumaker and athletic director Tom Jurich refused to speculate on the eight-member committee’s decision, which is expected in four to six weeks.
A tight-lipped Jurich said, “The credit card. The room rate,” when asked what remained at issue.
He referred to then-assistant men’s basketball coach Carlton “Scooter” McCray’s phone call to a hotel where Frederick Johnson, the father of player Nate Johnson, was staying.
Investigators said McCray obtained a substantial discount on the room rate, and left his Diners’ Club card with hotel managers to prevent Johnson from being evicted from his room for failure to pay his bills.
However, Louisville has contended its internal investigation showed a former assistant manager of the hotel provided the discount on her own, and said the phone call was not made until two weeks after Johnson’s stay began.
McCray admitted leaving the card but said he never intended to pay the bill himself.
The Infractions Committee could stop short of the “death penalty” with other punishment or accept Louisville’s self-imposed penalties as sufficient.
“I think we took dramatic steps, painful steps, and whether that is sufficient, the committee will have to make the decision on that,” Shumaker said.
Since the current investigation began, the university has transferred McCray to an administrative post. Head volleyball coach Leonard Yelin was suspended for a month without pay.
An assistant women’s volleyball coach was reprimanded and the volleyball team’s preseason trip to Japan last year was canceled.
Men’s basketball coach Denny Crum, a 27-year veteran Hall of Fame coach who has led the Cardinals to two national championships, received a reprimand. His contract was renewed in March.
“I’ve seen no reason to fire him,” Shumaker said Sunday.
The case, deemed “major” by the NCAA, has produced hundreds of pages of witness testimony during investigations by both Louisville and the NCAA staff.
Besides the hotel incident, all the other violations cited in this round occurred in the women’s volleyball program.
Yelin and his staff were cited for providing the student-athletes with rides, lodging, financial aid, help with enrollment forms, and even paying a dentist’s bill. The NCAA investigators said neither Yelin nor the university adequately monitored activities of the volleyball staff.
Although Louisville agreed the violations occurred, the university contended that it was not responsible for Yelin’s lack of knowledge of the rules. Jurich and Shumaker said that question was still in dispute Sunday.
Jurich was named athletic director last year to succeed Bill Olsen, who retired. Jurich has said the department wants to comply fully with NCAA regulations.
The probation was imposed in 1996 for 10 violations — six deemed major and four secondary. They involved an athlete’s use of two cars and improper contacts or phone calls with recruits by assistant coaches.
At that time, Shumaker said the probation was a “warning signal” to the school.
The eight-person NCAA committee, headed by Oklahoma law professor David Swank, meets in different cities around the country.
This is what the caller might have been talking about on the death penalty.

Dear show thread: You have officially lost your mind. One hundred links to the same thing is enough, stop it.
Matt,
I still refer to my brother as Stevie, I think he is trying to change to Steve, but to me it just sounds weird after go his whole life as Stevie.
Ryany? Drewy? Also… I think the y and ie names work for chicks. Billy, joey, bobby, tommy, sandy, all hot chicks
Drewy would be Drewby, which I was called on the ballfield.
Scotty
Ryan goes straight to the big but girls again.
The women’s volleyball team may have a lot to do with whether or not Petrino goes back to Louisville.

What are people thinking? Elam is a 5 Star recruit. Saban wants him. UMMM yeah we want/need him. PERIOD!!!
Davey is terrible!!
Yeah, what about Clint Hurtt? He can’t go to Texas with a Show Cause… he can’t stay here when a new coach comes in (well, probably not). Is he up a creek? Did Loyal Charlie sail him down the river?
My dad’s name was Robert, and he hated being called Bobby.
Should my friend change his name from Larry to Lar?
Matt go check out Elams tweet about choosing UK last Saturday. Sindelar>Barker btw.
I disagree on Davey:
Davey Concepcion
Davey Boy Smith
Two things. Robbie should not be an adult name. Also, didn’t Nick Saban want Daryl Collins?
I could never stand Freddy. Even as a kid.
Fred
What about Willie? ok?
Tommy Calahanan from “Tommy Boy”
The general rule is that 1) adults shall not have a “y” gratuitously added to the end of their name 2) unless they are a NASCAR driver.
They selling eruppzion zone for Miss st?
richie??
No on Davey Allison?
Getting called Rexy is horrible.
Hadn’t hear the Randle cramps joke. That’s funny, I don’t care who you are.
Why is Matty’s voice deeper in radio ads than on the show?
There are a lot of radio personality commercials like that, I think they
use technology to slow down or sped up to make it “fit”. In the old days,
guys could put 30 seconds commercials in the can one after another
and nail each one without any techie help.
My dad’s name is David….and my parents have always called me Davey to distinguish between the two of us….therefore all my childhood friends call me that……I can’t shed the name despite 38 years of attempts. For my own sanity I just decided to own it.
What is the ethnicity of Randle’s girlfriend?
Anchorman 2 was pretty funny even though the ending got pretty stupid.
However, they did reference UK legend Dan Issel.
Matt, did they slow down the voice for your Drunk Driving commercial???
You sound like you just hit puberty for the 2nd time.
Title IX takes a HUGE step back every time any women’s sport is brought up around Ryan Lemond.
Check this article out. It shows all NCAA schools and how many times and how many years they have ever been on Probation. Seems UL is neck to neck with the Cats in this.

Is Ryan’s voice changing again with his body shapes medical shots? He sounds like Peter Brady when he tries to get loud.
Shannon cannot take part in the name conversation. He has a girl’s name.
Who y’all got? Auburn or Florida State?
Don’t forget:
Scottie too Hottie lol
Almost 300 hits in the first hour on the KSR show thread, mostly about nicknames. Crazy.
The game’s on WKYT, according to their website. Just select Wednesday in the schedule.

Matt Elam new tweet:
“Me Not Committing Saturday Did Not Hurt UK Chances At All Just Didnt Feel Comfortable Doing It There It Was Set Up Weird !! #BBN”
https://twitter.com/FballIsLife69
Some good upsets last night
21San Diego State over 16Kansas
Wake Forest over 19UNC
20Colorado over 10Oregon
SMU over 17UConn
Kansas State over 6OKstate
Notre Dame over 7Duke
Seems like every team is unstable right now except for Arizona. This would be a good time for UK to stay strong and go undefeated through SEC play.
How about Stevie? Stevie Johnson!
I think it’s terrible that the game is on ESPN. National Title games should always be on national networks, not paid cable. I won’t be able to watch it.
Ha ha Matt ANY GUY should know that watching CRAZY WOMEN is worth watching. Matt is correct, there are and will be a bunch of Looney Toons tonight on the show.
Matt, you watch the Bachelor, you deserve to be called Matty.
So you watch it too, or are you just “Lar” now?
Please, don’t, don’t don’t talk about the TV show that shall remain nameless. 45 min left for radio on the top rated show in Louisvlle this week and Lexington. Don’t waste it please
How is Matt still single with all of the great women insite he has?
The Bachelor is comedy!
Ryan also watches Say Yes to the Dress and What Not To Wear
Matt – The first show of The Bachelor is just like any first show of any reality competition dating (or most other) show. It is just awful, awful tv. I wish all shows like that would go away. They make us all a little dumber.
For being so uncomfortable about your sexuality (anti hugs from guys and no touching from guys) also making fun of flamboyant voices (slash/slash), you sure do like a lot of girly shows. It’s alright Matt, just own it. We will still accept you. We love all types of people.
If you like Jackass, Cheaters, Housewives of some city then you will love this episode of the Bachelor. Matt is correct.
The Spurs…
Mickey as in mickey mantle.
Google what is played in San Antonio with your phone.
The. Bachelor. Really? Sugar in your pants?
San Antonio Spurs
can you have short term memory loss in the long term? Love the RL comments.
do we need to call Kobe just Ko?
Louisville hires Lane Kiffin as football coach.
Matt, check out this GIF…the guy took a photo of himself everyday for a year and put them together as a GIF. The longer you watch it, the better it gets.
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/01/05/010514_Selfies_Gif.gif
The alamodome is a white elephant. The Spurs played there for a few years but moved on. I believe they built it in hopes of getting a NFL team but it never happened.
My real name is Scott. I’m so serious about not being called Scotty, I’d beat Matt Elam’s a$$ if he called me Scotty.
By the time they are finished editing Matt’s quote it will be “I want Louisville to hire Bobby Petrino. I’m… scared of Bobby Petrino like a lot of other Kentucky fans… Hire Bobby Petrino.”
Matt, are they selling eruption zone tickets to the public for miss st?
OScary Combs
Bud’s gun store
the UL alcohol argument is so lame. Cal’s Maker’s Mark bottle, Strickland’s DUI’s, Gillespie and Sutton with well acknowledged alcohol problems
Weak
Matt, here’s an New York Times archived report on UL’s attempt to convince the NCAA NOT to impose the death penalty on their basketball program back in 1998:
http://www.nytimes.com/1998/08/10/sports/plus-basketball-colleges-louisville-tries-to-save-program.html
All high school players take some plays off. People notice it more when the best player on thee field does it because he is the focus of the game. People said the same about Hatcher and its safe to say that hasn’t been a problem at UK. Coaches handle this!
I know a guy who wears turtleneck sweaters who says UL is going to hire John L. Smith.
That iheart radio What’s on TV lady is my new least favorite. Even more annoying than Family Minute guy.
If you had one Athletic Director to make the hire for your football program (or any team), who do you trust more than Jurich?
Whether he hires Petrino or not, they’ll win games and contend for the ACC title. Then no one will care about the past. Winning is the true purpose of an athletic program. Win, they will.
I feel the opposite. Louisville has been in lousy football conferences for ever. They win enough games against bad competition to make a bowl game and think they are big wigs in the college football landscape. I think Louisville will learn their true position when they have to play Miami, Florida State, Clemson, Georgia Tech, etc. every year. When they finish in the middle of the pack a few seasons and get crappy or no bowl game, they might begin to understand.
What about AT&T U-verse customers? Will we be able to see the game Wednesday?
For those of us in Cincy/NKY, the game will be on Star 64 live. The bad part of those games, it looks it is being shot with flip phone camera.
Why don’t they just hire Clint Hurtt.
No sports today so, Cougar Town (UK fan) or Justified (best show on TV) Tuesday at 10:00??
Here is what you should do with your ballot. You should get in touch with the Dept of Fish and Wildlife and figure out who tagged the biggest whitetail buck last year. Write in that guy.
Teddy Bridgewater for sportsman of the yr, 2 bowl wins including a Sugar bowl and only 1 reg season loss this past yr. (Bleep) Tom Jurich he is the worst. And not sure why Matt puts David on a once a week, I need a daily David call
Isn’t it a common problem with high school kids needing to learn to give it 100% all the time? Doesn’t Cal mention it 50+ times at the start of every season? I give Elam a pass on this.
#votedhawk
Matt, think of your vote as a way of finding closure for the Year of the Cardinal.
James is the reason UofL dominates us.
If our fans demanded winning football, we would win.
I mean seriously are our football fans so self-righteous they’d rather lose with a “good” guy then win with a “bad” guy.
NOTE TO HYPOCRITES: ALL COACHES ARE EGOMANIACS!!!!!!!!!
KY Sportsman of the Year: PICK JUSTIN THOMAS (PGA golfer and NCAA champion at Bama
What about Teddy?
Bobby Petrino, Billy Gillispie, and Bruce Pearl walk into a sorority house…
Check James Quick’s tweets from Louisville! Seems like he wants to transfer now. I think we can get him
“Stevie Got Loose”…
I just figured out why so many Louisville fans listen to this program. Because there is so much UL talk here.
I get the whole Hurtt/Pitino/Petrino criticism but let’s not pretend like our players/coaches are angels. That’s a slippery slope with issues on both sides of the rivalry.
Louisville friends shouldn’t just be worried about moral issues. What he did at Arkansas was potential a legal issue.
What if we apply a morality clause (more specifically in regard to infidelity) to every profession that is responsible for leading young men/women?
You’d lose quite a few educators, military officers, professionals leading interns, etc.
Head Coach of a football team is a job. The job is to get wins. Even if you embarrass the school once, people forget it if you win. Pitino is in the dang Hall of Fame, less than 5 years removed from THE most embarrassing event in coaching history.
Drew setting that crazy Bama fan to Wrecking Ball is one of my all-time favorite things.
Huh? You give them credit for not hitting a lady. You should never hit a lady ever. So you give them credit for doing what they should do. Good to see your priorities Matty
But it’s OK for Clinton as long as he was doing a good job, right Matty? I love dems spouting morals
James is the classic UL fan I guess he’d have no problem sending his kid to play for coaches like that maybe he’s Chane Behanans dad.
Real men watch old school raw tonight..and that’s the bottom line….
In Northern Cali, EVERY person I know who could have a ‘Y’ added to the end of their name, does. I know a Tommy, Bobby, Mikey and 2 Billy’s who all live in a town of less than 1500 people.
Rob vs Robbie…… My Wife hates it when old girlfriends call me “Robbie” or by my last name. Guess cause they put the lil “EE” (in a squeaky voice). FSU 42 – Auburn 27 #bringontheplayoffs
Matt, if Calipari was caught cheating on Ellen, would you push for UK to fire him?
Like Ace Carolla says… If that Alabama woman had been an unfortunate looking woman… They would have punched her in the face and arrested her.
http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-alabama-fan-apologizes-20140105,0,6101777.story they taunted her son apparently
Matt, insane is a tame word for a place where death threats are commonplace for football coaches that come close to 4 loss seasons.
Anyone noticed the Lexington Rooter commercial jingle between segments? Poop poop papoopoop…..Poop poop papoopoot… Is this a coincidence?
That Alabama chick looks hot.
Here’s the Bama Fight Video with Jim Ross commentary:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I7ppBncNG8
Matty Jones is the most immature 35 year old ever
Maybe
MATT YOU WERE RIGHT.. LOOKS LIKE RICH RODRIGUEZ IT IS
Drew stole that from SBNation. It’s pretty obvious because he posted it 30 mins after they did and used the same Ross wrestling video as well.
Matt I don’t think that was that woman’s husband. she was across the aisle. she flanked him and went in a swingin’!
They should have put Patrick Towles in during the US Army Football game, total BS!
When the milk goes sour, you don’t put it back in the fridge.
Have you seen Impractical Jokers on TruTV. Four best friends playing jokes on each other. Hilarious!
Best show Ever!! Not sure why my comment was deleted the first time….
If she were to kick me in the head with those heels I would definitely punch her in the throat.
Jurich seems like a vindictive kind of man…. after Petrino burned and embarrassed him…I don’t see it.
Ever seen “Silent Library” on MTV2? If not, a team of 5 or 6 have to perform ridiculous, painful tasks and try to remain silent In a library completing them or be penalized. Good lord, kills me everytime!
If Petrino comes back to Louisville he will never leave. I predict it and then after 3 years he will put out a book on being humble.
Lets be honest here. I hate Louisville because they are Louisville and I hate what they do because of who they are.
If you like Jackass you should watch Ridiculousness! I laugh every time. Perfect mix of Jackass and America’s Funniest Home Videos.
AWESOME SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE MISSING WORK JUST TO LISTEN TO KSR!!!!
Mizzou has lost one home game since Haith arrived. That’s going to be TOUGH
Anybody with grown kids who moved out and left all their sports gear behind – unless it’s UK stuff they’re never going to want to see it again. If you can get out today, take it to the Catholic Action Center at 400 E Fifth Street, Lexigton – open 24 hours, they’ll get clothing to people who need it today. Apologizes to Rayn. It’s cold out.
Anyone who does not like wrestling has obviously never seen an Undertaker buried alive match!
Really? It was scripted to have blood back then just as it is now……..
Jurich considered Charles Manson for a PR job, but the University has a strict no swastika tattoos on the forehead policy.
That university doesn’t have a strict anything.
BEST CALL EVER!!!! WRESTLING USED TO BE REAL LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Lee has to be related to Chester.
Lmao Lee is gold!!!
Lee – best call of the year!
I always stomp my foot on the matt when throwing a punch.
I’m in favor of Lee having his own show.
Lee is a genius in disguise.
Lee is Call of the year thus far.
Its still real to me dammit!
Jessica Dorrell, Karen Sypher, Ricky and Bobby… there’s definitely a reality show there.
How about… ‘The Adulterer’, a show where spurned wives get their revenge on the Blonde bimbos who wrecked their marriage
Especially since we recently lost The Adventures of Kevin & Chane! hahaha
Lee,
That is a terrible idea… You open the BBQ sauce with your hands and then eat your sandwich…. The cashier touched money then touched the packet… You then open it with your hands and then eat your food.
Only on KSR would someone call in and bash wrestling, and then in the same breath argue that wrestling is real and they were really bleeding. Then condiments in a separate bag, Lee dropping all sorts of “knowledge”
Oh, Lee. No. I was a seven year old girl and I knew that Jerry Lawler and Coco B Ware were fake.
At what point did wrestling become fake? Because that’s how I’m going to categorize when things happen: (BWF) Before Wrestling was Fake and (AWF) After Wrestling was Fake
We might lose two games in the SEC — possibly Mizzou or Florida. We will NOT lose to any of these other teams who are TERRIBLE. Yeah, we are definitely NOT losing to LSU in Baton Rouge. You do realize Rhode Island just beat them there on Saturday? Also, this Ole Miss team is not the same as last year’s — especially without Murphy Holloway. He was their Mr. Everything in the post and this team is really struggling inside this year without him. There is no way we lose to them this season. I personally guarantee it.
I asked this last week but no body addressed it! – Why does Pricktino not let his players leave the huddle for individual intro’s in Rupp arena? – is that the only place he does that? – how arrogant! and petty! He did it 2012 too….
If Bobby has any success at Louisville whatsoever, he’ll be eyeballing an SEC job….
Seth Davis graduated from Duke…..
KSR is dropping the ball if you dont post the Bobby Petrino in a neck brace picture. Over and over again.
I’m sure we’ll see it again if/when the Petrino talk heats up
“He’s a new man”. That’s a Card fan willing to do anything to win right there.
Where’s the media warning Jurich not to hire Petrino???
I believe BP has changed like I believe Richard Nixon saying I am not a crook or Bill Clinton saying I never had sex with that woman. Thank God it’s only sports.
Louisville fans have battered woman’s syndrome. “he’s a changed man”, “our times together were so much fun”, “we still love him”
Matt, you keep saying “that is all Louisvlle fans care about” and my question to you is what else is there to care about? As Kentucky fans are we supposed to care about the team having morals and doing the right thing or WINNING… I for one would like to see a competitive team that wins more than 2 games as opposed to a doormat that has great student-athletes with big hearts!
I can’t believe that ANY grownass man would sit around and discuss professional wrestling.
You would not be a fan of Hulk Hogan if you saw his sex tape.
