I don’t care how good
@KirkHerbstreit
is calling games (and he is very good), I will always have massive respect for him for how he treats Lee Corso
He shows him respect, is caring and helps bring out the best of him. We all should be so lucky to have such a friend
Lotta people who are cheering on the restaurants for not following the Governor’s mandates are the same people who used to write me complaining “if people just followed the law, there wouldn’t be any problems with police”
Guess it just matters whether they like the law or not
Tonight also say a prayer for BJ Boston. He was in the car behind Terrence Clarke and came upon the scene of his close friend
I can’t imagine how difficult that must be.
Whatever you think of Joe Biden, it is embarrassing that the actual President would visit Eastern Kentucky after the floods before the two Senators of the state even set foot in it
This Kentucky team
— won 9 games for first time since 1977
— had a winning SEC record for first time since 1984
— Ended the never-ending Florida streak
— Produced the All-Time Sack and (likely) Rushing Leader
— will go to best Bowl of my lifetime
That is an AMAZING YEAR
If we don’t have College Football this fall, it will be for 1 primary reason...we as a country failed in combatting the virus
Why that happened is up for debate. I have my opinions and you have yours
But what is a fact is we failed. And this is one of many results of that fact
Last thing…apparently Florida State has 14 starters opted out and Georgia none (or few)
Maybe…just maybe, that’s a program culture thing
Georgia has won the last 2 titles. The fact all their players wanted to play might say something about their program vs the other
UK had no idea Rupp would be packed. They were expecting like 6-8,000 people. To have 22,000 and turn people away…amazing
Kentucky Basketball fans wanted that old feeling of their program back. They got it today and it was magical
Never seen anything like it
Surreal scene here on Bardstown Road in Louisville....100 police officers with lights and riot gear on...Protesters around the streets
And then an Ice Cream truck drives up with its music playing right in the middle
A woman scream “READ THE ROOM ICE CREAM MAN!!!!”
Thanks to everyone who has reached out. My dad has had a serious medical incident and is currently in the hospital. I won’t be on the show tomorrow
Thanks to all who have expressed their concern. Please say a prayer tonight for Larry if you would. He is a wonderful person
When players who have worked hard or who have good stories get a chance to have a moment in the final game, we usually cheer and celebrate it
When it’s a woman making history in the process, a few triggered men get angry and downplay it
Don’t be those men
So Vandy has a field goal kicker who just made a 39 yard field goal, but Sarah Fuller is kicking their extra points and you’re telling me this isn’t a stunt? Come on.
Kentucky has won one NCAA Tournament game since 2019
Kentucky has won one SEC Tournament game since 2019
Put everything else aside. Those two statistics alone are enough to say that this situation is becoming untenable
I am proud of my friend Charles Booker
@Booker4KY
. He ran an amazing race and gave real hope to thousands of Kentuckians
For him to come this close considering the huge money disadvantage is amazing
Charles is real and cares...and that matters. I am truly proud of him
A little update. I am currently in the hospital and have been since last Thursday, dealing with some issues with high blood pressure. I am currently ok but it’s been a difficult weekend and past few days.
I appreciate everyone’s support and hope to be back doing my thing soon
My dad is currently in the hospital with a serious medical issue. It isn’t related to Coronavirus. However due to the virus, my mom and I aren’t allowed to visit him
It’s an extremely difficult situation. Please stay home and socially distant, if not for you, for everyone else
Assuming Beshear wins, National media will try to make it about Trump/Biden, Abortion, etc
What is about is that Kentuckians think Andy Beshear is a good man who did a solid job during some very difficult tragedies
Nothing more, nothing less. It’s not national, it’s Kentucky
When the Kentucky players say “Black Lives Matter”, you know what they mean....they literally mean, their lives matter
When you then respond by talking about “Marxism” and “Socialist groups”, you are the one making it politics
They are just saying Black Lives matter...period
This brought me to tears tonight. Six months ago, Covid hit and my dad had health issues and I thought we might lose him
Today he and my mother did what they love best, sing together again in church for the first time since then. What a blessing
Kentucky won
Vito picked UK
Louisville lost at home
Tennessee lost at home
Indiana lost at home
North Carolina lost at home
Patriots lost at home
That’s a great sports day
A few years back Bobby Petrino pulled a scholarship from Matt Colburn right before Signing Day, leaving him without a team. Wake Forest picked him up
Today Colburn has 202 yards and 3 Touchdowns in Road Against Petrino and UL
That has to feel good
- Kentucky outplays the opponent
- Blows a big lead
- Backup QB leads comeback
- Poor coaching decisions
- Odd plays
- Questionable calls
- Mental errors
- Missed gimme Field Goal late
This was an old school UK loss
Jared Lorenzen was one of the finest people I have known....a better person than a player. He was a huge part of our KSR family and an even larger part of the BBM family.
My heart is broken for his family and friends. God Bless the soul of our amazing friend
Terry Wilson ended the Florida streak
He won 10 games and a Citrus Bowl
And he ended the Tennessee road streak
No matter what else he ever does, he deserves a lifetime of thanks from Kentucky fans
BREAKING:
Multiple sources tell KSR that Governor Andy Beshear is planning to issue an Executive Order this afternoon that will require all colleges in Kentucky to allow athletes to make money based on their Name, Image and Likeness beginning next week
