Does Anybody Still Visit the KSR Website?

[UKMKG]

I used to visit the site religiously from its first day on but I've found myself rarely if ever going to the site for a couple of years now...love the radio show and listen everyday, but the site itself is virtually unreadable without Matt posting consistently anymore. I may be in the minority but does anybody else feel this way?

I subscribe to the RSS feed and read an article here and there through my feed reader, so no technically I do not.

 

[mdlUK.1]

I usually glance at the headlines and read if interested. Don't read it as much as I used to. I do listen to the show every day.

 

[Ky-troutbum]

I still visit it, just about every day.
I don't read everything on there, just scan through and read what looks interesting to me.
There is a lot of silly/dumb stuff on there, mixed in with some good.

If you have a Twitter and follow UK-related accounts, really no need. All they do is repost what they find on Twitter with some 'humor' or whatever along with it. Don't really see any good writing on there.

I don't pay any attention to it. I go to UK's site, Tom Leach's and this one. I listen to The Leach Report at 9:00 but KRS radio is not my cup of tea so I turn off the radio when it comes on. Tom Leach provides all I need to know about the program. No one is as close to it as he is.

I get on there usually at least once a day, but do not read it unless it interests me.

This...except I don't listen to Leach. Like him, but have too many things to do and don't think about him. Used to go to KSR multiple times a day, but not anymore. Got tired of it. I get my UK news from other sources and a couple people I know close to the university.

 

[PowerofPelphrey]

I go to their site everyday and listen to the show.

 

[throatpoker]

Never heard of it

 

[UPSCat4080]

95% of posters here check it every day and 10 out of 10 of the posters who replied to this thread have already checked it 5 times today.

 

[catsbyfive]

Feel like op works for ksr.

 

[rolaid]

No I don't anymore unless I click on link from Twitter.

Same here. Most of the people writing for it now kind of suck.

 

[gossie21]

Losing Beisner was a big hit to the site. And then Matt stepping away just about killed it off. I rarely go to there unless an article is linked from somewhere else.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Used to be on there everyday; this is before I started using this site regularly. I stopped checking that site about two years ago, maybe more. I click that site maybe one time every two or three months. I really started using this site daily in Tubbys last year. That was fun.

 

[BillionthUKFan]

Yes indeedy.

 

[HoopsDavid]

Yep. Many times a day. Great UK site....I will never understand and antiKSR sentiment that some have. Makes no sense.
Why hate on a pro-UK site of any sort. Some folks just like to have something ugly or negative to say.

 

[true blue1]

I used to, but every time I try now on my I pad, my I pad freezes up.

I'm in this thread...and I check it about once per week. It's lost appeal with me this past year. So count me in the 5%.

 

[Kycatspaws]

I still check them out pretty regular.

 

[TankedCat]

Its part of my cycle of news, espn, reddit, my local forum, facebook and here - but they go overboard on football analysis, I understand why and if I were a bigger UK football fan I'd enjoy it so alot of the blog entries I just scroll past.

I will say this - they are more critical now they have been in the past which surprises me a bit. I guess they are at a point where they are self sufficient and don't have to walk a tightrope of being a rah rah site.

 

[BlueRattie]

What is KSR? Who runs it? Is it a Matt Jones thing?

Seriously, I don't know.

 

[Louis_Skunt]

I just started looking at it again. The overwhelming football stuff was more than I could handle. Aren't we a basketball school in the midst of a dynasty? Too much football junk for the last 2 months.

You're absolutely right about Beisner...I actually forgot about him, but he kept the ship afloat after Matt stopped writing full-time. That was a big loss for the site. I'm really glad Matt isn't running for congress though and will hopefully still be on the radio for years to come.

 

[jockstrap_mcgee]

The football-centric posts and the drop off in writing quality makes me visit it less. I used to like the more ridiculous posts they had but now it seems like too many college students trying too hard make up the majority of those posts

 

[doneitall]

yes I visit it everyday.

 

[kats23]

I don't visit the site daily but outside of Tyler's stuff, the writing is pretty weak. But the traffic is still very solid on that site or it seems to be by the amount of ads on screen.

 

[ThroughBlue]

If i need ten things to do before an away uk game I know where to go

 

[3 fan]

Everyone who posted that they don't visit KSR is a damn liar. Never understood the anti-KSR vibe from some here but you all visit there daily. Get over it

 

[yoshukai]

It's my first visit each day . If anything in UK sports has happened it'll be on there . I Listen to the replay of the radio show each afternoon on my way home from work on 1580 . I'll bet that afternoon replay has KILLED that stupid Chris Cross show on 1300 .

 

[yoshukai]

I used to, but every time I try now on my I pad, my I pad freezes up.

I have problems with the site also . I think there are multiple little UL hacker nerds trying to shut it down . LoL

 

[jockstrap_mcgee]

They tried to make a push to be more of a sports/pop culture like Grantland, except Grantland had Pulitzer Prize winners and KSR had…well, not that.

 

[UKgreatinmyveins]

I usually go to ksr than this site.

 

[cacats]

I read it everyday. Basically that is my only resource to get UK news.

 

[UKgreatinmyveins]

A reason why I barely come to this site anymore.

 

[EvilMD]

I follow Matt and Tyler on twitter. They tweet if the site has anything worth checking out. Otherwise I don't go on it. Too watered down with crap (like the aforementioned 10 Things to Do series) and it bogs my computer down if I'm on it very long.

 

[Levibooty]

No not anymore.

 

[Jkwo]

No Anti KSR sentiment from me - I don't visit the site as much any more because it's cluttered with a bunch of other stuff I don't read. I like the periscopes, and the silliness of the radio show, but imo the blog be primarily UK bb and fb. Drew and rarely Tomlin or Tyler will come out with a funny OT post that is worth reading, but most of it just isn't worth while in that format.

 

[musrat59]

I go there on a regular basis mostly to read the Basketball related stuff.
