Does this mean you can’t speak a negative word about how Shannon the dude brings nothing to the table, and Matt spends 10 mins talking about his awesome life while we just patiently wait for UK recruiting or coaching news?

I like both KSR and Tyler but I quit the message board over there because it’s like having your mom on a message board. It’s constant telling people how to act. I just don’t need a mom on a UK message board.

Why would you want basketball and football merged together? That's so chaotic with a really easy solution.

Really shouldn't be hard to keep a few separate forums. I agree, we no longer need recruiting-specific forums for sports. But just do Basketball, Football, and the Paddock.

It's not that I'm against football talk, and actually I often forget that I need to visit that board more to stay in the loop.. but I think merging the two would make it chaotic.

We do both football and basketball on HOB and it hasn't been too bad... but obviously there are more people on Rupp Rafters so I can see it getting a bit chaotic.

I think if anything, it would be annoying for the football folks to have to sift through a lot of basketball-related topics, not even really knowing what is what until you open some of them

i don't understand shannon's involvement. he's a morning zoo radio guy. he has no original ideas of his own.
how did he even end up on KSR to begin with?

Just further proof the on3 group has more money than sense. I can guarantee their ad revenue focused on a large, even if free, user base will far exceed the revenue generated by a subscription only model.

Ya ya they might save a few pennies on server costs, but nowadays server costs on something this size is miniscule in the grand scheme of things.

Quite the full circle moment and a personal conquest for jones. Decades ago, he was magloire52 on Kentucky Sports Report (ksr) board and got banned for stealing paid info as his own. He starts his own board calling it Kentucky Sports Radio knowing everyone back then just searched "ksr" to locate the Kentucky Sports Report board. It worked and drove traffic his way along with many other things he did early.

From being banned to absorbing the board who banned him. I don't like Jones but that is a full circle moment for him.

However in the end, as is with most private equity fly by the seat of the pants nonsense, us the consumers are worse off.

Did he ever actually own up to that? And didn't frosty tips set Matt up to prove this??

Im not sure about how it all got fleshed out. I just remember when he melted down and posted under magloire52 and stated much if not all of this.

That was over 25 years ago but there are a surprising amount of people that are still around from that period.

childless 50 year olds are always the first to let us know how great their life is
It’s usually around 50 that the women at least start figuring out that they are alone with nothing to look forward to the closer they get to death. Especially not having any children or grandchildren to help them when they get sick.

In announcing this on his radio show, MJ spends 20 minutes on how wonderful he is to have outlasted all the competition. The reality is that no one would know his name if he hadn’t had a law degree that allowed him to report on Pitino’s 15 seconds testimony.
