Say what you want about Matt personally, but there has never been a better outlet for covering UK football than KSR. People want to say "oh well he likes Basketball more" but what do you want him to cover, a football team that has not been to a bowl game in 5 years or arguably the top basketball team in the nation?
KSR has a pre and post game for football and a podcast each week breaking down the games. There are summaries on the site about practice reports and coach's press conferences every single day they happen.
It is also a fan driven industry. What is going to attract more listeners/readers, "UK loses another game in awful fashion" of "UK is ranked in the top 3 and adding in the #1 recruiting class in a period where UK has made the Final Four 4 out of the last 6 seasons?"
Here is a KSR post from earlier this week. Choosing to post this without any reason didn't feel like the best outlet covering UK football:
"Boom Williams’ dad is
on the front page of ESPN.com this afternoon and it’s not because he’s awesome. No, it’s because America is still laughing at the Kentucky football team for its weekend-worst, possibly season-worst, game last Saturday.
Boom Sr. is the cover boy for the SEC’s disappointment in Week 1; however,
the articledoes not mention Kentucky because Kentucky doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of college football.
So to sum it up, UK was bad enough to be the cover photo but too bad to waste a breath talking about in the article.
Go Cats."
