Jones said the voice of the fans has moved to Twitter, and that Cats Illustrated is a thing of the past, and some other stuff. Basically disregarded the fans on this message board. Some of whom even take money out of their paycheck to get on here. Just thought that was kind of a shot to the passionate fans on here who write their opinions

Some take money out of their paychecks to get on Cats Illustrated? LOL. Why?

IMHO Matt Jones has developed into a self important liberal. He thinks his opinion means something to his listeners. I have quit listening to him because of him using the show to espouse his political views. I get that on my own......I used to listen to his show for UK content. I don't start listening to 1080 until Jerry Eaves comes on.


Jerry Eaves! Bwahahahahahahahahahaahahahaaa!!!

With all due respect, did you read my first two sentences? I clearly said not everyone and he said "MOST" are ok. What's wrong with saying "some people on here are terrible"? Seriously! HE DIDNT SAY EVERYBODY!

The hilarity of this entire thing is that multiple times in this single post, people have done exactly what he says they do on message boards.
No more than he does on his radio show or his Twitter. Did you read all of my post?

I have never liked Matt Jones and his little annoying voice. I never will either. What he says is and always has been irrelevant to me. However, I do remember him posting on here years ago seeking everyone's approval wanting them to think he had all these inside sources. He's too big now lol. In fact any time someone mentions his name they lose credibility with me.
The definition of irony, lol.

Matt Jones is criticized by some on this board. I'm not saying they're wrong and I'm not saying they're right but for business it makes sense that he wouldn't be favorable of any site that gives him criticism. Does he get a lot of love on twitter? I don't have twitter but he probably does.

That's all this is, it has nothing to with RR. It has everything to do with how good of perception of him a website gives him.
I think the irony is his little rant about how awful and mean message board posters and how twitter users are the real fans came off a story about how twitter users were blasting Ashley.

Jones' whole schtick when he started up was to be the new young edgy alternative site and he plays that angle up every chance he gets. Problem now is he just comes off looking like the old guy in the bar and it is pretty pathetic. His 15 minutes should have been up a long time ago but his minions relentlessly trolls this board for hits for him. All smoke and mirrors. In the end he'll suffer the same fate as Maggard and "True Blue" did.

Anybody who argues there aren't a lot of ******** around here is probably one of them. There's also a lot of good posters too, so I guess it's what you chose to focus on and Jones needs to stir the pot to get everybody's attention. This place is pretty tame compared to what his comment section has been like in the past.
Kind of like life.

For a whole bunch of old fans using a message board there are a lot of hurt feelings here. Don't those same old people talk about how politically correct this society has become? Don't those same people love that Trump speaks his mind? There are a lot of posters in this thread that would benefit from growing a pair, recognizing that a differing political opinion is a fact of life, and maybe learning that judging a person who you don't even personally know is more douche-worthy than anything "loser Matt Jones" has to say.

Ya'll need Jesus.

Jones will get his own 4 page thread every other week. Clock work. His haters can't seem to keep his name out of their mouth. They always have the same fly-by posts. It's almost as if they all still tune into his show daily just to have something new to ***** about. It's comical that this thread did exactly what he said we do. Rupps raftards is not the definition of our fanbase, and he's definitely right about that. I enjoy posting, but the lunatic fringe here doesn't even begin to describe our total fanbase.

I've been reading the horse dung here since 2001.

Now on to 2018.

Godspeed.

KSR is literally a sports board with a radio show and spokes person.

MJ didn't invent the wheel, he just added to it. He's not the only one who can get uk sports information or release news, nor is he the only one who can have opinions on it and talk about it with other people.

Same for Catsillustrated. Sports opinion and discussion didn't originate here. Chat rooms, forums, boards, etc are just a modern evolution of barbershop, water cooler, gas station, diner, card table in the garage.

Also the idea that a message board isn't a very good representation of the fan base is bogus. A couple thousand people is a pretty good sample size for any population. Men and women young and old from all over the state and country post here.

People on here need to chill out. Matt Jones and KSR are awesome. Yes everyone is entitled to their opinion and that's mine. I enjoy these message boards and love KSR. I live up in New Hampshire and both the message boards and KSR make me feel like I have a little piece of Kentucky up here. Matt, Ryan and Shannon are huge Kentucky fans and host a highly entertaining show!
