Jay Williams on KSR tomorrow

[B.B.H.]

At least 2 of those shows are KSR shows, although without Matt. Also, Matt's KSR radio show will have Stoops/Pope (and other coaches) on as guests, but not the other ones.

Locked on Kentucky has no insider information at all, and no access to UK coaches/players. In fact, I'm pretty sure Locked on Kentucky makes frequent trips to Rupps Rafters for content.

I'm not familiar with Loyal BBN Fan show, maybe something I'll check out

The point wasn’t to deter you from KSR as a network. It was to show you some other shows. I agree about Locked on Kentucky, nothing original. Same issue with Loyal BBN Fan Show.

I really enjoy “The Catican” and “Wildcats Today”. The Catican is more of a fan conversation than analysis but highly entertaining and I share a lot of similar views with them about how I see the game. Very insightful.

Wildcats Today offers some unique information, but nowhere near what KSR radio show does. One of the podcast hosts works for SI. It is very conversational but a lot more analysis, very fan level and basic. They don’t care to call their shots and be honest, even slightly controversial. I’m actually surprised that podcast hasn’t gotten much bigger. Anytime it drops it is an immediate listen from me.

Sources Say is part of the KSR podcast network just like Zoom Action, but it’s heavily focused on analyzing the on-court product, although it can dabble into some goofy comedy and inside jokes. There is no call-in with terrible takes, just outstanding basketball talk. No cereal brackets, no political stuff, just dudes talking basketball at a deep level. Definitely my favorite podcast

I thought Jay tried to gaslight quite a bit and I'm glad Matt pressed back.

Jay tried to say the whole "Who are you going to get?" wasn't implying Kentucky would be worse off. Then he later said he was wrong.

I actually believe what he said on the Arkansas losing quote. Cal is losing, and it probably sucks to hear from us every single time. Life's hard, wear a helmet.

Dang bro, that’s some dark humor

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate the analysis. I listen to all of the Sources Say stuff, and I do enjoy it, but honestly Shawn Smith carries the show in my opinion. He knows ball, Jack I feel like knows enough to be attached to the show, but Shawn actually knows hoops whereas it seems Jack is more of a recruiting guy - he'll slide into a recruits DMs and get a connection started for info

Zoom Action is right up my alley. I coach HS hoops and enjoy hearing differing perspectives on offensive/defensive actions in today's game.

Agree with every word you said. Shawn Smith and Brandon Ramsey (All Fired Up podcast) are both excellent. Would love KSR to pair them together at some point

Not an MJ apologist but the Ryan thing is shtick. Ryan is in on it.

Eh. Kinda. Most times. There is good nature ribbing amongst friends. TV and radio shows all have it. It sounds jovial.

But bullies often hide behind "joking" to belittle people. There are times Matt jumps on the simplest mispronunciation or error and digs in about it too long. It goes from trying to be funny to awkward and infuriating. Ryan rolls with it well, but then there's only so much he can laugh it off until it sounds forced. You'll notice Matt doesn't give it to Shannon or Drew as much because they'll come back at him.

He has said Drew will let him know if he's gone too far on Ryan, so it's not imaginary. Even if it's all schtick, it makes for bad radio. And judging by his complaints about the subject of late, I'm not the only one that thinks it.

I rarely listen to the show and when I do it not about sports and just not that interesting.

 

[NociHTTP]

Weird thread.

It uncovered a few Cal apologists and maybe even a few Duke fans.

 

[Rockfly78]

Matt is so incredibly talented. Not everyone could host a radio show the way he does and keep things fresh. I’m definitely not anti-Matt. I just wish he’d dial it a back on being overtly disrespectful of people. He’s quick to point out how Calipari did that but he does the same thing at least once in every single episode

Not meaning this to sound snotty but I can tell he’s an only child. He’s always been the front runner. No offense to only children.

 

[GoBigBlue1280]

Jays body language when talking about UK says everything that needs to be said. The Cooper Flagg marketing thing after we beat Dook was just weird.

With that said, MJ’s voice reminds me of raking leaves on concrete. I just can’t handle it.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Weird thread.

This thread ain't weird.

Weird is when you take your 85 year old neighbor lady to the store and she wants to kiss you for it, and then proceeds to stick her tongue down your throat.

This.

I actually don’t hate Williams, he’s just a shill of ESPN and does and says what he is told.

Greenberg can suck it. That guy 100% thought Cal was going lead Ark to a FF and UK would fall off a cliff. I hate Ark with all my heart and hope they lose out in the SEC and Greenberg continues to lap it up.

In regards to Greenburg's yapping lap-dog defense of Cal: no-one can sic 'em like a sychophant...

I tell you what, that's hot as hell if you're 90...
