He paraded every negative stereotype of Kentucky imaginable across his webpage for years.
We're lucky to have Matt Jones

She is filling the kinda cute female UK fan quota on the site/show and appeals to women...I guess.
I am a CARDS fan first and Cats fan second (I know, flame away). Anyway, I happen to think Matt Jones does a good job and think it is great that UK has someone like this. Very little of what Matt Jones ever says or does bothers me. I actually think most of his stuff is pretty funny and can appreciate his enthusiasm toward his job.
People that get too worked up, one way or the other, over things people say have pretty thin skin.

And exactly why should this matter to anyone who wants UK info on the team or recruiting ? Why should we need to accurately gauge Jones fandom ? Please be very specific on this so we can fully understand where you are coming from and exactly why we should feel the same way .
We want info and Jones provides it in a one stop shopping platform , why is that a bad thing ? It sounds like you've drank too much derp-aid , was he mean to you when you called ? Did he not let you ramble on about tattoos and headbands ? I also don't care if he bludgeoned someone and took their secret info and told me about it .
I will just wait for the next lawsuit that shows their way for them passing along your much needed info as their own.
So he took your picture ? Nobody cares , file another lawsuit and see how many care . I'm going to visit KSR and view all your stolen pics and it will not even register to me , it's entirely irrelevant. If it's info then nobody cares , nobody cares if your info gets violated . I don't know where it comes from and don't care , if I knew it was stolen I might like it more .
The very notion that information can be copyrighted is absurd. It's info not, artist design schematics for the damn Death Star.
Matt Jones is capitalizing on his love for UK and making a living doing something he loves. Every single person on this board would trade places with him in that capacity in a heartbeat.
I don't agree with everything he says but, no one does. Don't like him? Turn off his broadcast.

This all day long ! The thought that information about a college team or a high school recruit belongs to someone is laughable
Guess its me but I'm basically done listening to him. I may visit the site for recruiting info etc, but his reluctance to not throw his political beliefs out there in some way gets pretty tiring. If I wanna hear politics I'd tune in to a person who had a clue what they are talking bout
If people boycott his radio show or site, they should boycott his threads as well.
If I read one more "Matt is so smart" "Matt does what he loves" "we would all trade places" "did you know he went to Duke law"
Good god give it a rest with the same old talking points. It's every damn time people.
Jones doesn't have real info. He doesn't have that many connections. If you believe he does, you haven't seen what I've personally seen. He's an entertainer that pretends to be an "insider". Let it be what it is, and enough with the "omg HES SO SMART YOU ARE JEALOUS WED ALL TRADE PLACES Har Har har!!!!!"

So many things about this post scream blind hatred. If you think he is not connected than there's nothing anyone can say to help you.
Try someone else. I personally whitnessed the guy steal others work, post it as his own, and get busted the hell out. You like him, fine. But you won't make him into something he's not.
And again with the jealous shit. Good god some of you are ridiculous On this topic.
For the record, he's got "info". But he doesn't have much "insider info" and some call it. The guy made a living stealing TBK work for years. Just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Plenty of us saw it nearly daily.
Like I said, if you like him, fine. I don't blame you. But enough with the "HE LOVES HIS JOB" "YOURE JUST JEALOUS" crap. It's got nothing to do with it

So you're saying he doesn't follow YOUR line of politics, so invariably you don't like him. Myopic........
I stopped listening to Mr. Jones quite some time ago. I do not care for the Sports mixed with politics thing that seems to get him so excited. Additionally, the real reason I stopped listening was that he became controlled by the UK front office and only spouts what they want him to say. That is ok since that is how he keeps his contacts and to some extent his job. I am a loyal UK fan but I want someone in the sports world to give all the facts, good or bad, without the university controlling what is said. Mr. Jones is no longer that spokesperson so there is no real reason to listen to him any more.
Jones had major info on Gillispie's issues. We got his standard off handed comments about what was going but I think he was too frightened to actually release the real story. Of course, Jerry "UK hater" Tipton didn't go after the story either.
Sounds like someone is still a little salty that they didn't get a refund on their lifetime membership at TBK.
For all of Matt's faults at least he's never claimed to be "wrong on purpose."
This. He got busted by the 104.5 the zone a few months ago for using their broadcast without consent or giving credit. He was totally oblivious to it when they called him out on it. He is not the great ambassador of UK sports as many say. I don't think that any one is jealous or wants to trade places with him. He is more like UK's version of Clay Travis.
I've been around since radio was the only medium beside the newspaper to get UK info. Those call in shows back in the day were dreadful compared to the Jones show. Same stupid questions and takes from the same stupid callers, every, single, show. The hosts were always nice and accommodating, but to the detriment of the show.
I'm glad Matt is smart enough to cull out the idiots quickly when they call.

I love the Matt Jones threads. The guy makes a living bashing these fans, stealing credit for work that's not his, and being nothing nore than a fan with an annoying voice and a platform. That's all the guy is.
We can openly bash anyone on this board. Cal, Other coaches, other writers and personalities etc whatever. But only when Matt Jones is brought up do you get the weirdo "everyone's jealous" crap. Seriously, I couldn't care less about Matt jones and whatever he does, and I'm sure lots of others agree whether they like him or not. It's a strange phenomenon around here. Some of you tight jeans generation boys must have it rock solid for him. Sounds just like limp generation comments.
Bash Cal - hater
Bash former players - knowledgable
Bash Matt Jones(or simply don't care for him) - jealousy - envy - rage.
Only on rafters.
See this is the kind of stuff that's nonsense, no offense intended.
Frosty had all the info regarding G. "respect your team" nonsense maggard ran with protecting that trash system that was going on. You obviously aren't aware of that history.
But rafters is rarely in the know due to running off anyone actually half way connected. Then They embrace a guy like jones, who knows very little about recruiting, and isn't really connected in the AAU/high school scene at all.
But hell this wouldn't be rafters without this kind of nonsense.
Those that hate him sure do like to talk a lot about him in his threads. They same the same thing over and over. Some one says something else and they repeat it again. I never understood those that feel the need to repeat the same stuff over and over.
Also it's funny how worked up some get.

You Sir, doing a good job filling that your Statement!

It doesn't matter when who knows what in this case. Jones knew about it and sat on it. I exchanged emails with Matt on this subject and he had no good answers why he did not expose Gillispie. The only thing I could think was he didn't want to hurt his relationships with those at UK. I don't take Matt seriously. He built his little empire on being the super light Howard Stern of UK basketball. When it came time to move from super light to heavy weight Howard Stern he kept his mouth mostly shut.
Never cared for Maggard's constant crying and moaning either. If he wanted to be Jones he should have been ambitious.
This! why are they so obsessed with someone they claim has no sources or good info? Their jealousy is so obvious it is ridiculous.
Look, let's be honest here. If Maggard... the most obvious example of a blatantly obvious con-man that has ever existed who worked on a cruise ship and as a baby sitter before he oozed his way onto the UK gravy train... can offer himself up as an expert and make money off a gullible fan base that basically begs itself to be fleeced, then anyone including Jones is going to be very successful at it.
Face it, if you look around the table and you don't see the rube then you're it. If Jones and Maggard made one penny off of you in any way, then you are in fact a rube and you deserve to lose your money and i have absolutely no sympathy for you. Life is a jungle and you are the sheep in that jungle. Make no mistake about that.

Neither of them have made money off of me. I have shopped at Boones Butcher shop, but I did that before Matt was born.
