I’m pretty sure it was the Truth who was talking about Richard Sherman. It’s only a matter of time before Kyle Tucker goes on a similar rant on Matt. We’re down to only 3 more years of Obama!
Just wait until our next President. All will be rosy in this country! We will have no domestic or international problems and things will be back to normal.
Thank God for Obama!! After eight years of Republican leadership the country was in a downward spiral and near financial ruin. All Obama has done is get us headed in the proper direction and financially stable. I was there and remember it all too well!!
Take your teabagger philosophy and your ignorance to a site more in tune with your ignorance and far right views-Ann Coulter,Rush Limbaugh and Faux News.
You are both right… all Obama has done is continue the work George W. Bush has done, and the next guy will probably just as bad
Always a great time when we beat UT. #RockysTOmP
45 today… Getting much colder this week. Snow late tonight and tomorrow morning. 1-2 inches.
“I’M THE BEST GENERAL IN THE CAMPAIGN! WHEN YOU TRY ME WITH A SORRY REB LIKE JOHN BELL HOOD, THAT’S THE RESULT YOU’RE GONNA GET!”- William Techumseh Sherman
LAST NIGHT WAAS JUST THE WARM UP FIRST IT WAS CRABTREE AND SKINNY BOY KAEPERNICK. NOW WHAT RICHARD SHERMAN”S GONNA DO IS HE GONNA MAITENENCE HIS BRAIDS, THEN HE’S GONNA GO TO NEW YORK CITY HES GONNA ROCK BOTTOM PAYTON MANNING AND IS GOING TO LAYETH THE SMACKDOWN ON ALLLLL YOUR CANDY ASSSES.
Who has 100 people in their small apartment? I would go out somewhere. I would hate to be the person below. Glad nobody got hurt.
Sometimes I pretend I am Matt Jones.
Matt…your radio station needs to upgrade its Soviet bloc equipment. Terrible.
I don’t have the day off… We don’t get off holidays 🙁
Given that I do not have a ton of interest in the NFL, last night for me Twitter took a step backward.
First Time Long Time
Matt,
Was Clark Kellogg wearing the elastic waistband pants he is famous for?
Matt with the great ratings, can we talk to Clear Channel about upgrading the radio signal so I can pick it up past my driveway.
That backup center for Tennessee had quite a rump, did Ryan notice it?
3 of the best tweets I saw after football game. 1. Neither Harbaugh brother in Super Bowel #Tom Crean affect. 2. Tom Crean to Harbaugh, don’t worry I’ll cut the nets down for you., and 3. Well Billy Clyde you finally don’t have the most awkward sideline interview.
After watching the Luke Kennard highlight video, I noticed he was left handed. Does Cal prefer left handers? It seems the number of left handed players has increased dramatically since Cal has been here.
How about all these teams starting to hit a funk and drop games, Iowa State lost 3 in a row, Ohio State lost 3 in a row, Baylor has lost 3 of 4, Oregon has lost 3 of 4, Wisconsin lost 2 in a row. I had a hard time seeing UK get a 2 seed but with teams losing like this, I think there is a chance.
When I was in high school we called those Thunder Thighs!
Transition defense is still terrible
WCS needs to go back to a blonde!!!
Matt – 1) why in the world is UT so bad?
2) No one has talked about how McRae completely dominated James Young
Why did Tennessee look good vs. UK on Saturday? Because, WE GET EVERYONE’S SUPER BOWL. Arkansas is 1-3 and looked great vs. us. This helps us get ready for tourney.
Sherman must be from Little Rock.
Since Willie’s “drawing board” is a sidewalk, he needs to get the chalk out and go figure things out.
Andrew’s best game of the year on Saturday. My favorite play was his mid range free throw jumper.
Matt, what are your thoughts about the UConn head coach getting ejected from the game? I HATE wanting Louisville to do well but I feel torn! We need them to win so our RPI goes up… but they’re Louisville.
Kentucky responded… they match Tennessee’s toughness that Tennessee was acting like they had and we didn’t… we matched it and took it away from them… stripped them and took the game by halftime that’s toughness
I really think that the long gaps we had earlier in the season hurt the team. I am glad to see we are going to have two games a week. I think this team needs real game experience consistently.
You should let Rob Bromley and his swagger read them.
If the saying is true that you need 3 legit scoring threats to be a great team we possibly have 4 now that Andrew is blooming. Randle, Young, the Twins, and I think occasionally you can throw it in to the Dakari/WCS and get a bucket.
Tony has a really good used car salesman voice !!
Tony Vanetti does Ken Towery commercials in Lexington and he just yells.
Tony has been doing it for 40 years. Just give it time.
Also, can we please talk about Ryan brushing his back hair today?
a) Tony just shamelessly commits to doing voices and whatever it takes. You sort of act afraid to do that sort of stuff, Matt, haha.
b) Lotsa Pasta has quite literally the best paninis in the city. Not kidding. They are freaking incredible.
Vanetti is such a low brow….that’s why you can’t do it. He is pedestrian.
Matt you could take all of the Energy shots in Louisville and still not get to Vannetti’s level of insanity.
Matt, You’re selling yourself short. Your Handsome Jimmy voice would make any advertiser proud!
JoAnn isn’t going to buy anything Tony V is selling.
I won’t be eating my lunch today. #NewDiet
I actually think Vanetti is reasonably cool – until he goes into full UofL-Homer mode. However his voiceover is the sole reason I will never attend a Riverbats game even if they were to play the Yankees.
We need Vanetti on the show for another forehead vein- blowout!
Oh Ryan that is so gross!!!
I have an urgent urge to play Super Mario brothers after that pizza commercial
Is this guy calling from Moon Base Alpha? I keep waiting for the little beep at the end of his sentences.
That call was brought to you by the Deep Sea Divers Association of America.
It almost seems like a lack of focus at the beginning of the game, always a bad turnover and they have to take a punch before they start responding.
Cats were up 9-4 at the 15:20 min mark against UNC.
As a teacher, I have found that some kids need a structure routine!
I mean structured routine.
Amanda Lemond needs to get another hairbrush. Ryan’s brushing habits are marching onward South and that’s just not sanitary.
When Randle took that first three and hit it, I thought ‘well, that guarantees he shoots another one this half.’
There will be a complaint about every win for this team. because of the expectations… just chill this team has the best upside
Did Cal bring in that Free Throw shooting specialist who called in the show last week and we didn’t know about it?
Cal could (should?) start with a more aggressive defense. Get our guys going early by pressing and trying to get some quick transition points early.
I like the idea
Matt, I’ve said it 1,000 times. This team should be known as The Fiddlin Freshmen because of their tendency to get behind and stay behind in the 1st half of games.
Here is Richard Sherman’s role model:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=booker%20t%20wrestler%20angry&source=video&cd=5&ved=0CEEQtwIwBA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Da1o82BVKFp8&ei=7j7dUqKlMfGFyQHnlIGYCw&usg=AFQjCNHToeKQ7ZQ5Wyx1wRH2Bz3DgvCd4w&sig2=f-yuoppHw-uIUx-NZw3-IQ&bvm=bv.59568121,d.aWc
Richard Sherman is awesome. So much better than the stock standard answer you get.
That Richard Sherman outburst would have made me laugh out loud had I not changed the channel about 30 seconds prior…
Did anyone watch Drake on SNL? He did pretty good I thought.
harrison passes ahead to james young breakaway dunk tenn. timeout the crowd is ready to go crazy and the band plays neil diamonds sweet caroline! matt i laughed.
Matt in order to be like Vanetti you have to sound like you’re real pissed off/sarcastic towards doing the ad.
In your best Richard Sherman, talk about your disdain at being asked to be like Vanetti.
Honestly it sounds more to me like Tony is just improvising. I would say don’t think about it formulaically like that, Matt. You’re great on your feet on the radio, so obviously you can do it. I think Tony just acts silly and doesn’t doubt himself. At least that’s how it seems to me.
I never use any businesses Vanetti shills for because I know the owners are uvel fans and therefore the quality will be very poor.
Matt forget following Tony V. as your advertising model, go with a Richard Sherman level of excitement!
Matt sounds like a dirty old pedophile when he talks in that voice.
Can’t say I’ve ever had a dirty old pedophile talk to me, so I wouldn’t know what that sounds like…
Matt- did u call it or what. Arkansas goes to Georgia and looses
They are terrible on the road!
Can we do a football round table show?
I loved watching the Wildcats in Denver, I swear nearly all the tackles I saw in the game Danny Trevathan was in or around every tackle during the game.
Check out Richard Sherman mic’d up from a Redskins game in which he gets punched in the mouth by some huge Redskins player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1xw09AcvzI
This is a great and likable video of Sherman:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi_ly7HTSzk
Thank God The UK vs LSU game is going to be on during the State of the Union address Tuesday !!
68 — It’s the same thing I saw in Kentucky. That’s just the way Danny plays football. He is all over the football field and a tough S.O.B.
Two questions for Ryan – What conditioner do you use for your back hair and how do you style it?
And yet, Northwestern still has enough class to refrain from making popcorn buckets…
If he’s wide open he needs to take it, it will open up the drive and slow the double teams.
maybe Kentucky Joe was singing at the party and everyone were trying to get a good view.
Everybody on Kyle Sadler’s YMCA squad just applauded Matt’s anti-Sadler rant.
Matt have you heard anything about how Matt Elam’s visit to Bama went?
I liked how Tom Crean tried to incite another riot. And them loosing to N’western ended up being the real and laughable riot. And he hasn’t had the balls to have an original tweet since this one…
Tom Crean â€@TomCrean Jan 18
We need AH jumping all game long! Make the place get ALL RILED UP! You turned the game for us the other night. Go Hoosiers!
Matt don’t compare yourself to Tony. You have other things that you are better at, like your choice of teams, your ability to laugh at yourself, and your personality.
Those people need to stop living their live through those players… .let the player be himself and it will go a lot farther
Stokes is just mad he didn’t go to the nba after one year.
That elbow wasn’t nothing.. I think it effected the game
With this new contract… will these 1080 phones get fixed?
Hey Matt focus on your strengths….Tony could sell ice to eskimos and he would…..Your income will come in other streams, don’t turn into a cheesy pitch man….or just be cheesy for one sponsor.
syracuse
Syracuse?
I’d rather coach @ Syracuse than Indiana
Matt, you wrong about Syracuse!
Syracuse in the ACC makes a difference.
ohio state?
No love for the Hoosiers, but Arizona and Michigan St. aren’t better jobs. Support and intensity at IU is WAY more than those two. IU is in discussion with UL, just below UK, UNC, Duke, KU.
I disagree. While the fan bases may not be as big, Arizona and Michigan St. are great jobs for many reasons. I would think one might feel they could recruit better to both programs, and both programs also have had MUCH more success in the modern era. Winning national championships is very much within the grasp of both programs.
I also would much rather live in Tucson, Arizona than Bloomington, Indiana. It’s not even close.
Ohio State job better than Indiana
The Twins don’t need Rec-Specs. They are squinting because of the Clutter-induced-headaches.
What about Georgetown over Indiana?
I would much rather coach Syracuse then Louisville!
Matt, based on that logic (a top ten coaching job has to survive one coach), how can you put Louisville in there?
Ariz…Ucla…drop looavul for
Ryan’s excuse the next time he gets busted with the hairbrush is going to be, “I was just trying to clear the clutter back there”. We know you were brushing that back mane.
You could be like Chris Crosss and say get over here after every ad.
The Truecar.com commercial may be the antithesis of a Vanetti read and a “how not way” to do a commercial read.
Agree
Syracuse!
I still find it bizarre that a coach would mouth kiss his son in public to celebrate a win.
Hey Matt! Syracuse!
Matt Is there any word on when college game day tickets will go on sale
Tuesday
Syracuse is the heart of Upsate NY. It will never die down!
need more assists…
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KYEhpByMUD4 Watch as Matt (Rock) does his best Tony (HHH) impression.
Can we ban Randle from inbounding the ball?
Can we teach James Young how to feed the post.
That one your describing Matt is the Electric Slide
If you are in an arena and they do the line from that song ‘EVERY-BODY CLAP YO HANDS!’, there is not a woman in America that can resist doing it. Watch next time. They eat it up.
hey matt, did you see the espn’s film 88 and 1? digger phelps refers to john wooden as a “dumb s.o.b.”. a.) how did espn put this clip in the movie. b.) what the hell is wrong with him? john wooden is the gold standard of basketball and being human.
Notre Dame cut down the nets after that game (unbelievable). They didn’t win a title or anything, they ended a 88 game win streak, and cut the nets down.
YMCA song?
What other job has an Athletics Dept that lets you get away with Syphering and then gives you a raise for it? Louisville may be the best job in the country.
JH has an assistant coach from Tuscaloosa, that is the coach that is in his ear about Bama. He has a twitter account, but Im not sure of his name.
Also can we verify that the coach with Elam at the Alabama game was the head coach? I know the assistant coach went and was wearing a Bama shirt, if it was a black guy in the pic with Elam that was not the head coach.
Give me eleven Shermans and some fighter jets and …
Before you judge him off a short video, watch this (fair and balanced):
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VbQGlO0B5nY&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVbQGlO0B5nY
Sounds like the coach and principal are a little star struck by Alabama.
How much fun is it going to be to see Peyton Manning trying to torch Sherman and his “Legion of Boom” defense?
Another Mercedes? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matt you need to subcontract your reads to JT.
I heard matt elam was doing the nay nay in the lex this weekend…
Since I met with him and his family in T-town on Saturday I can put that to rest.
I know everyone wants Elam, but I just think it’s asking a lot for somebody to actually choose not to accept an offer to play football at Alabama. If he chose us, it would be like choosing Auburn in basketball over Kentucky. We would be questioning a player’s decision making if he did something like that. I really hope he still picks us, but I totally understand his desire of Alabama.
For all of Alabama’s greatness UK has more former players in this year’s Superbowl than Alabama does according to their own website.
While that may be true, it is a fluke. Alabama has been dominating the NFL Draft over the last few years. It’s not even close.
do you think Brian Long appriciates CBS putting his name under Julius Randles stat line saturday ?
I heard his school bus driver and aid went too.
Chane number at CSU is 420.
It’s not even like she is the principal of a small school. She is the principal of a huge school in John Hardin and you would think she has to concern herself with the other thousand or so students.
Maybe the principal is his legal guardian. Sometimes that happens.
Matt, please don’t encourage KY Joe!
Kentucky Joe’s laugh sounds like Jack Nicholson as the Joker in the original Batman.
Why are all the callers named Jason and Joe?
Don’t forget marijuana is legal in Colorado!!
Go ahead Matt your among family!! Please tell!
Matt, I think you should have a serious talk with KY Joe. He should not be lurking on campus doing his creep routine.
I asked my High School Principal to go on one of my College visits, but I couldn’t afford the carton of cigarettes that he asked for in return.
You need to understand that responsible teachers, administrators provide a protected supervision for their students. I hope this is the reason the principal went, maybe Matt’s mom asked the principal to go. If so, you owe her an apology.
Does the coach not provide needed supervision?
Speaking of calves, if you wanna get disturbed, look up the email a woman wrote about Quentin Tarantino’s foot fetish. http://gawker.com/5816417/the-quentin-tarantino-toe+sucking-sex-email-that-will-haunt-your-dreams
Au Contraire Ryan. Being the number 2 dairy state in the nation, there are a lot of calf stories out there.
Matt, your and Ryan’s ads this morning over the iHeart stream sound terrible. Did someone mess with your voice on the soundboard?
-BTI…”sucking since 1983″
Kentucky Joe is creepy.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Kentucky Joe and Stone Cold Willow both have restraining orders against them lurking around somewhere
Matt . . . I think you should call the principal at Matt Elam’s high school and find out what the purpose was for her to go on the recruiting visit to Alabama.
School is closed today.
Got a Derby prep race today at Oaklawn Park. The Smarty Jones Stakes. I love this time of year — from now all the way to the Derby.
How many people are allowed to go on visits to schools in Colorado?
Oh Matt you didn’t!!! HA!
Instead of talking about he big calves you could have talked about the stick up her ass.
Your comment was innocent, she is an idiot!
Oh man, similar thing happened to me. Started working somewhere and we started talking about music and I described my music taste as ‘being extremely white,’ and a smaller woman (who dated black guys, AS IF THAT MATTERED) really took offense to that. It was a case of her championing someone who didn’t need to be championed. That and I was joking.
I agree with Matt about Terrance. His attitude did hurt his perception.
If you use the word “besmirched”, then you should get the “David Treatment”…click.
What a itch….what is the chick doing now….
I agree with you and T Jones off court. He cut me at Cane’s once.
Nothing wrong with the”calves” comment in that context. A awkward maybe, but not inappropriate.
Matt you should have said to her, “Don’t you know who I am? I talk about awkward situations on KSR!””
Matt,
You have spoken regarding UK’s slow starts. I may be wrong but last year’s teams started out strong but couldn’t sustain it. I think I would rather have them start slow and finish strong instead of starting strong then slowing down. I think starting slow gives the players time to evaluate a lot of things: how the game is going to be called by refs, finding the other teams weaknesses, etc.
You can get calf implants, Matt. Didn’t you learn anything from Entourage?!
R.I.P. Lee Roy Birds son.
Byrd
Matt, I guess you shouldnt ask her about her thoughts on Anthony Bennetts play for the Cleveland Cavs.
BLAH!!!!
Matt if you had had your cowboy hat on you may have like large calves.
Woooow, the beginning of that call was CREEPY.
Wasn’t there a caller who talked about pool halls?
Terrence Jones had one of the best combinations of skill level and NBA bodies of any player I’ve ever seen at Kentucky. The kid was built like a really strong giraffe and was very nimble and graceful on (and off) his feet. He also had good ball handling ability for his size. He also flashed a decent ability to drain outside shots while at Kentucky. His play now is just an example of a guy maximizing his potential. He more than likely will continue to play at an extremely high level in the NBA.
The Super Bowl line started at Seattle -2 and has now moved to Denver -1.5.
What is Boeheim’s coaching tree look like? If he has successful assistants that went on and did well, and then returned to Cuse after he leaves.
Not on the first day of work from a complete stranger. Not a good time to make a comment on a woman’s body, even an innocent one like calves.
They said the building is falling apart so they need a new location.
Matt, that is awful of that lady for putting you through that for making a compliment on her calf muscles. I mean, seriously? What is wrong with this world that somebody would find that to be offensive?
I missed it. Which Ramsey’s is closing?
The original one downtown on E High
I enjoyed getting to follow show thread today. Back to work tomorrow and the podcast!!
Ramsey’s is just moving, not closing. They are closing that location. It is moving to Zandale off Nicholasville. There is still one off Harrodsburg, Tates Creek, and Man O War close to Hamburg.
my internet went down…would you start over?
At about the 11:30 break, Matt teased that he had had an “interesting conversation” with Mark Stoops Saturday at the game and would clue us in when he came back from that break. Maybe somehow I missed it, but I didn’t hear him say a thing about Stoops. Did you?
