Tonight’s birthday is for one of my favorite “guilty pleasures” of Rock and Roll, George Thorogood.” I dont need to tell you about George, because chances are that you already know his music well. Whether its Bad to the Bone, One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer, or Keep Your Hands To Yourself, Thorogood brings it every time out and has some of the signature lines in rock music. My personal favorite may actually be I Drink Alone, just because of its bass beat and his screaming of the line “I Prefer to be BY MYSELF!” In addition to that line, the lyric from “One Bourbon” of…..”Uhhh, I Dont Know Man, She’s Kinda Funny…..I said, I KNOW….Everybody funny, Now You Funny Too” has always been a personal favorite. Either way, if a Thorogood song is on the radio, you can generally find me happy and it somehow seems fitting that his birthday is on New Years Eve. Here’s to you George and you telling us the story about free milk and a cow…..
To the news…..
(1): Late night drama comes out yet again as internet rumors run rampant about Darius Miller and his status with the team. I just got a late night text from Dewayne Peevy, the SID for UK that Darius Miller did not leave the team. I have no idea what did or did not occur earlier today, but that is the official status from the folks at UK as of late tonight. So rumor quashed.
(2): Tonight the tournament at Lexington Catholic ended with Vee Sanford and Catholic defeating Clark County 70-51 to take the title. Sanford was named MVP and had 31 points in the Championship game to help take home the title. UK commitment Jon Hood was also named to the All Tournament team. The team is listed below:
Vee Sanford (MVP), Taylor Martin and Taylor Botkin of Lexington Catholic; Robbie Stenzel, Robert Hatton and Corey Rogers of Clark County; Josh Whitaker and Michael Campbell of Hazard; Brian Gunter of St. Xavier; Branden Burdette of LCA; Josh Sewell of Trinity; Darren Ballou of Adair County; Jon Hood of Madisonville; Aaron Watts of McCreary Central; Steven McFarland of Boone County; Chuck Jones of Hopkins Central; Jeramie Conner of Newport Catholic.
(3): Dominique Ferguson had another tv game today on CSTV, although it didnt go quite as well as the one yesterday. Ferguson finished with 12 points, but looked a bit out of sorts, missing a number of easy buckets. Still his talent is immense and he is going to be special. Definitely check him out if you get the chance and there will be replays of this game all week on CSTV
(4): Finally, I watched 3 SEC Teams take the court tonight in basketball. Arkansas got the biggest win of the year for the SEC, defeating Oklahoma in a game that they really controlled throughout. While Tennessee did defeat Georgetown earlier, the SEC really lacked a marquee win for the conference and Pelphrey and his boys gave it one this evening. Clemson (who is always undefeated at this time of year before tanking in conference play) beat South Carolina after jumping on them early and holding on. Darrin Horn’s team however is improving (much better than earlier in the year when I saw them) and could be dangerous this year at home. Finally, Mississippi State lost at home to San Diego (remember them?) in overtime. Coach Stansbury’s group is struggling this year with 5 losses and seem to lack any offensive firepower….although they do have Twanny Beckham, a name from the past who was of course a former Midnight Madness party crasher (if you remember that, you go REALLY old school on KSR).
More all day on New Years Eve….Tomlin does his thing, Beisner is back in the fold and we start to make fun of Louisville. Stay tuned….

don’t put a lot of stock in “internet rumors”
December 30th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
The rumor is that Darius moved in with Bill Parcells, Steve Spurrier, Billy Donovan, and Jai Lucas at their horse farm in the greater Lexington area.
Wait………..
December 30th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
Rumors, can’t take it no mo…
December 30th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
I hope things turn around for Darius, b/c he can be a huge asset to this team now and in the future. Also, did anyone watch Illinois vs. Purdue? Seems, like Legion had a decent game http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=283652509
December 30th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
If you clicked on the link above and on the Illini roster you see the name Richard Semarau
December 30th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
Glad we didn’t get him.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:00 am
Miller is going to be a beast once he get’s his confidence back.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:01 am
Purdue is so over-rated.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:03 am
The Rebels without Warren will struggle big-time this year. Good luck Andy with your defamation suit in Cincy.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:06 am
Biesner is back in the fold… that’s what she said!!!
December 31st, 2008 at 12:07 am
Someone should email MM and request a makeover of Gene Keady at the Purdue/Illni game tonight. I’m sure the frosted tipster could do wonders with Keady’s comb-over?
December 31st, 2008 at 12:08 am
Andy Kennedy is a complete idiot.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:10 am
Beisner is currently filming on the NBC show “Mama’s Boy”!! Good Luck Beisner!!
December 31st, 2008 at 12:12 am
Andy Kennedy is freshly cut from the left testicle of Bob Huggins!
December 31st, 2008 at 12:14 am
Making fun of Louisville? I’m glad I’m on vacation this week too. Heavenly bliss. A week of nerd fighting and a week of UL jokes. God, thank you for making me a UK fan…
December 31st, 2008 at 12:16 am
Ole Miss got wrecked losing Polynice, Warren, and Gaskins for the entire season.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:21 am
Three Basketball fans were on their way to a game when one noticed a foot sticking out of the bushes by the side of the road. They stopped and discovered a nude female dead drunk.
Out of respect and propriety, the UK fan took off his cap and placed it over her right breast. The WKU fan took off his cap and placed it over her left breast. Following their lead, the Loserville fan took off his cap and placed it over her crotch.
The police were called and when the officer arrived, he conducted his inspection. First, he lifted up the UK cap, replaced it, and wrote down some notes. Next, he lifted the WKU cap, replaced it, and wrote down some more notes. The officer then lifted the Loserville cap, replaced it, then lifted it again, replaced it, lifted it a third time, and replaced it one last time.
The Loserville fan was getting upset and finally asked, “What are you, a pervert or something?” “Why do you keep lifting and looking, lifting and looking?”
“Well, said the officer. I am simply surprised; normally when I look under a Loserville hat, I find an asshole!”
December 31st, 2008 at 12:22 am
LMAO @ #17 that was special
December 31st, 2008 at 12:23 am
Nice.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:24 am
#15 - Count me in too soup.
You guys know how Kentucky boys seem to always come out of the woodwork for KY vs. UL?
Well… anyone think Darius Miller might be ready for a coming out party on defense to stay in the game? If anything can crank him up a notch that has to be it, right?
Was he born in KY BTW? Anyone? Bienser? That fold comfy warm?
December 31st, 2008 at 12:24 am
it’s Miller Time!!! Matt Jones names his sources!! WOWWOWOWOWOWOW!!!
someone call Maggard and tell him new kids are on the block!™
December 31st, 2008 at 12:25 am
I said I aint got the rent
December 31st, 2008 at 12:25 am
yes he was born in maysville i believe
December 31st, 2008 at 12:26 am
“Keep Your Hands to Yourself” is by The Georgia Satellites. Dan Baird is the man.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:26 am
#21, your mother told me to tell you to go back to bed.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:27 am
Soup: nice true story!
December 31st, 2008 at 12:29 am
25) yours told me to tell you to come back to bed ; )
December 31st, 2008 at 12:29 am
OH NO YOU DIDN’T!!!!!
December 31st, 2008 at 12:30 am
A Loserville fan walks into Dunkin’ Donuts. He says, “Excuse me, Miss…how many cups of coffee do you think this thermos will hold?” She says, “I think it’s a seven-cup thermos.” He says, “All right…give me four black, and three cream and sugars.”
December 31st, 2008 at 12:30 am
soup u missed your calling
December 31st, 2008 at 12:31 am
headband: does MM know you are on this site and allow it???
December 31st, 2008 at 12:31 am
UK FANS UNITE AGAINST THE TARDS!!! WE’RE GONNA KICK THEIR STINKING ASSES BY 30!!
WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
December 31st, 2008 at 12:31 am
oohh I normally leave these things alone…
but that was quite the comeback from 27
he turned it and burned it, until that stupid wink… leads to loss of street cred
December 31st, 2008 at 12:32 am
30- Thats funny. My caller ID says otherwise. And they didn’t leave a message.
Okay, I’m 2 1/2 sheets to the wind right now and even I acknowledge that was stooooopid.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:33 am
Can anyone picture Jorts sporting a line beard for Sundays game and besting Pattersons career game?
All the Louisville fans would watch with their mouths hanging open MESMERIZED like the little monkeys in the jungle in the latest Indiana Jones. Louisville sports would never be the same.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:33 am
funny though
December 31st, 2008 at 12:35 am
I may be the only one, but I found this one funny..
A Loserville fan is having terrible headaches, he can’t stand the pain and decides to go to a doctor. The doctor tells him his balls are pressing against his spine and causing a reaction that gives headaches, and the only way to cure it is to remove his testicles. The Loserville TARD’s fan goes home, talks to his wife and decides to have the operation the next day.
Once he gets out of the hospital he needs a new suit because the crotch is too big on his old ones. When he gets to the suit store a sales clerk walks up to him and says, ”Neck: 16.5, suit: 42 long, waist: 34.”
The ball-less Loserville fan tells him that he’s right about everything but the waist size — he is actually a 32. The clerk replies, ”If you wore a 32 your balls would press against your spine and give you terrible headaches.”
December 31st, 2008 at 12:36 am
33) no street cred on the net dude. but thanks, i’ll take that as kudos.
winks are addictive. ;P
December 31st, 2008 at 12:37 am
soup u are on a roll lmao
December 31st, 2008 at 12:39 am
One more. I don’t want to over do it. I mean, the game is still a week away almost. But here ya go. More through the week if mm stays away and we don’t have a big nerd fight.
What does a Loserville Cheerleader and cow dung have in common?
The older they get, the easier they are to pick up.
Why do Loserville Cheerleaders like tilt steering wheels?
More head room.
What do Loserville Cheerleaders put behind their ears to attract men?
Their ankles.
What does a Loserville Cheerleader and a turtle have in common?
Once they are on their backs, they’re screwed.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:39 am
headband: MM will spank you for sneaking onto this site w/o his knowledge or permission.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:43 am
George Thorogood is a possibly the most pedestrian “blues” guitar player/singer ever, IMO. He’s right up there with John Mayer.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:44 am
Miller Time: don’t let Matt Jones yank yer chain with all this hooplah! i know for a fact he has all the chinese jerk parlors in louisville on speed dial!
December 31st, 2008 at 12:53 am
Marc Maggard is reporting from a mensroom under the stall divider foottap invitation only after hours backdoor hair products demo party (tonight specializing in tips refreshening and panty wad relaxing) that Darius Miller just threw a ping pong paddle at Porter because he lost 2 in a row.
Can anyone with the foottap code find out if Porter will hide the new forehead welt with the rainbow pride headband again?
December 31st, 2008 at 1:05 am
42. I agree that Thorogood is a terrible guitarist, but Mayer suprisingly has mad skills, specifically in playing the blues. Anything you here of his on the radio isn’t that good musically but he is insane live and the John Mayer Trio is strictly blues and kicks a$$. I thought he was garbage At first too, but not anymore.
December 31st, 2008 at 1:17 am
How long til maggard, kersey and co claim this was the “big new”
December 31st, 2008 at 1:27 am

44) English class would have failed you after the first few words…was that an actual sentence?
46) much longer than it took you to type “S” : )
December 31st, 2008 at 1:36 am
Phb- blacberry typing failed me… My bad bro
December 31st, 2008 at 1:50 am
#48 - portersheadband - You must be in the foottappers secret society
December 31st, 2008 at 2:17 am
I heard through the grapevine that Miller said he is going to put down 30 on Louisville.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:21 am
Ferguson had 9 points, not 12…box: http://www.t-mobileinvitational.com/2008-box-boys-final.asp
December 31st, 2008 at 6:25 am
Does yet another rumor of someone “leaving the team” represent an undercurrent of a problem at the heart of the team, or does it indicate that internet media needs to severely reform how it operates?
December 31st, 2008 at 6:53 am
Last night on justin.tv, Marc Maggard informed me in a very curt way that the funny thing is, he’s never had frosted tips. So there. Now the truth is out. And since it came out of Marc Maggard’s mouth, it must be true, right?
December 31st, 2008 at 7:50 am
The comments about MM and posts by ff are ridiculous. 99% of the people on here have no interest in hearing any of the mm bashing or comments by this idiot ff. Drop it already? Let’s talk UK athletics? Seriously ….
December 31st, 2008 at 8:10 am
25 is right on. While we’re at it, One Bourbon… is a John Lee Hooker song. Thoroughgood covered it.
December 31st, 2008 at 8:55 am
I poop to much
December 31st, 2008 at 9:13 am
Matt,
UT’s win over Georgetown is more impressive. It was on a neutral court. Arky won at home. A great win, but not the ‘marquee’ win for the SEC, especially after Georgetown dominated UCONN this week…..
December 31st, 2008 at 9:15 am
“Keep Your Hands to Yourself”….dude….seriously. That’s the Georgia Satellites!!!!!!!! That’s terrible.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:19 am
58, Temple’s win is most impressive
December 31st, 2008 at 9:21 am
#60, so is VMI’s…
December 31st, 2008 at 9:25 am
58 An unranked Arkansas team that was picked to finish last in the west, beats the #4 team in the nation at home mid season, VS a ranked UT team that was picked to win the east, beating a middle of the pack Georgetown team on a neutral court at the beggining of the year. My vote goes to Arkansas.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:28 am
VMI 9-2 on the year Temple 5-6
December 31st, 2008 at 9:29 am
61, I’m not the one rolling out the “well our win was most impressive”
December 31st, 2008 at 9:30 am
Usually I’m not a grammar or fact checker but 59 is right, that is pretty bad.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:31 am
62 - that would make it a “bigger” upset not necissarily a win.
But it is still a bigger win over OK than over GT….home or neutral site.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:32 am
Definitely Georgia Satellites. Turribul.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:35 am
And GT was born 2/24/1950
December 31st, 2008 at 9:41 am
VMI @ home. Temple on the road.
Also Matt, GA Satellites, come on. And there seems to be no consensus on his birthyear (I’ve seen 50&52) but Dec 31 is everywhere except the great Wikipedia.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:44 am
So, does anyone have any more specifics as to what exactly transpired between Patterson and Miller during the game when Gillispie pulled them apart and Miller went over the bench and received counseling for 10 minutes?
December 31st, 2008 at 9:52 am
“…you know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself…”
As opposed to drinking alone WITH someone else? Hmmmm.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:53 am
I forgive Matt on all the blunders of this post. All his sources came from Marc Maggard.
Zing!!!
December 31st, 2008 at 9:59 am
I watched the Purdue vs. Illinois game last night. Do our boy Hood and Robbie Hummel have some things in common or is it just me? I think Hood is much more expolsive but let me know what you think….
December 31st, 2008 at 10:02 am
Thorogood plays 3 chords–very limited guitarist.

71. he does drink alone with his dear old granddad…”and we drink alone…yeeeaaahhh with nobody else”
December 31st, 2008 at 11:40 am
Thorogood is not SRV by any stretch, but his playing matches his style, so I like it. However, the poster who earlier called Mayer a “pedestrian” player has clearly never seen him play. I went to a John Mayer Trio concert a couple of years back, and he was incredible.
December 31st, 2008 at 2:42 pm
No offense intended but being a huge Cats fan and a local guitarist I have to tell you, The Georgia Satelites sang keep your hands to yourself, not Thorogood. Dan Beird does look like Thorogood though. Go cats!
