Next time J Dykes comes to Rupp Arena ...

[ukwazoo]

He has a new schtick every game. Tonight it was "live ball turnovers". I see why he failed as a head coach now. He probably had the team focusing on an entirely new concept every practice.

 

[SBKY]

He was fine.

 

[CondorCat]

Same here. I used to like the guy, but now he gets on my nerves. Unfortunately Dykes & Ravech are scheduled to call the Ark @UK Saturday night.

Jimmy D has a daughter who is a cheerleader for the Vols.
His bias was filthy tonight.
Boo his ass 24/7

I kinda liked Jimmy for a year or so. His shtick has grown old though. He just seems like he sits around all day coming up with some new line. TBH, I don’t like color commentary. Too much gun flappin’

 

[Ugoff]

I've stopped listening to all of these d-bags. I pause the DirecTV stream and synch it up with Tom and Goose on I heart radio. Much better.

He really has become insufferable.

 

[JagCat93]

I was at the game tonight and thrilled I didn’t have to hear dykes. He’s the worst

 

[Basscat1987]

He’ll be calling the Arkansas game

 

[chevyman 50]

I do not like him as a announcer him and the refs seems to be on the same level.

 

[rivercatinfl]

He was horrible tonight. I'm glad we won.

Yep He was slobbering all over UT tonight! He's a jackass! So glad we shut him up!!

Easy to solve this- delay your TV and sync it up with Tom Leach and Goose Givens then you won't have to listen to the TV announcers during UK basketball games

Does that work? Just delay the tv and it is good for the whole radio call?

What drives me nuts is that he is the king of hyperbole.

How many times a game does he say something like:

“This kid is the best in the nation at…”

“This team is the best when it comes to…”

“This is the most ____ league in the country…”

“When it comes to this no one is going to out coach…”

He says something like that at least once a game.

I am not a Dykes fan at all but I don't buy that he is anti Kentucky. He simply talks nonstop hoping he can coin a new basketball go to word.

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

Wish Jimmy would take his jet back to the unemployment line

 

[jrm693]

He was a cheerleader for UT tonight, he must have had money on Tennessee.

His daughter is a cheerleader for UT!!

 

[jgraf_1]

i don't think he's anti-UK just severly pro UT. i believe years ago Cal stopped jimmy's and others among the press with an all access come as you go pass to the program. and around that time barnes and jimmy became close and he got that access there.

this was around the time when he started using the nicknames for UT players instead of their real name...you know being professional.

you may remember "Fulkie" for John Fulkerson or "Santi" for Santiago Vescovi among others.

Agreed. I have noticed that him and the other guy (don’t remember his name) always want to see the home team win. They get sucked into the atmosphere and don’t want it to stop.

 

[U Go UK]

He and his partner sure were cheering for UT last night. 😠

 

[clifm]

I think his daughter is a vols cheerleader

 

[jeffky]

Vicious cuts dykes man he is annoying never shuts up .

 

[Emarc]

I was way too focused and nervous to notice.

I have more than 30 posts and didn’t hear a single bad thing he said about UK. He was not biased towards either team. He’s always been very complimentary towards us. You move along.

Dykes is more to my liking than people along the lines of Vitale, Raftery and Gus Johnson. But Dykes certainly has a lot of Bilas in him.

 

[ManitouDan]

remember ole Jimmy the next time he says “ I’ve never heard Rupp arena like this “ even though we lost to a trail of turds and went 9-16 …. Remember Jimmy forever … he’s a total douche bag asshole .

 

[Basil Cat]

That bum should be boo'ed right out of the place . I'm sick of his anti UK slant .

He has really cranked it up

I couldn't have watched the game tonight without a "mute" button on my remote. The guy is nauseating.

 

[cathouse]

That game was a 2 1/2 hour infomercial selling John Calipari with Jimmy Dykes as the spokesperson.

Nauseating. And the disrespect for CMP was obvious by Jimmy the Dyke.

 

[Tim0808]

anti UK slant Is definitely a real thing from the talking heads!!

wonder why that is? maybe our fan base is hard to tolerate? i can understand it

Yeah last nights " I've been around for 342 years and NEVER EVER heard Rupp Arena like this " ( as Ark ran out ahead late). was infuriating .. I guess he was on a vent in ICU when his boy Bennie went 9-16 , or lost to a string of bums in Rupp ... he can ROT IMO
