Kentucky sports and beyond.
Before today’s practice, DeMarcus Cousins admitted that he’s been receiving some interesting voice mails since someone published his cell phone number on the internet. Warning: This video has Cousins repeating a gay slur from a caller to his cell phone.

Sorry about the idiots from Mississippi. Please accept my apologies for the knuckleheads who thought they were being cute. I’m sure that most were imature college students.
Thanks for being a class act. Hope you have a great game… in a losing effort though!
MSU Grad and All Around College Hoops Fan
Looking forward to the game. Please don’t think that all Mississippi people are like that. Probably some Ole Miss fans LOL! We look forward to a good game tomorrow night. Go Dogs!
Chris, I hope you are joking about it being some Ole Miss fans!!! Some dumb State fan did it thinking it was funny and cool, and yes WE ALL have these kinds of fans. And yes please Kentucky folks, please don’t think we are all like some of those back woods idiots.
As a state fan, glad to see he took it in stride and had a sense of humor. Kid looks like a class act.
All teams have dumb fans who say stupid things especially when their identity is unknown. But the fans that called and didn’t say racist things are still part of the story. No one had any business publishing a college players’ phone number, and no fan of another team (or of UK for that matter) has any business calling the guy’s number. Grow up people.
We all have those classless fans but I would never make the generalization across an entire fanbase. Nice comments here. GO CATS! hopefully we see less than 3 blocks
That’s why he’s playing for Kentucky and not Mississippi…..Go Cuz!!!! Go Cats!!!
Well lets see what they have to say after they get their butts kicked!!! oh and by the way…what are you guys ranked??? just asking!!! YEAH THATS WHAT I THOUGHT!!!!
OMG!!!!! WHAT SORE LOOOOOOOSERS YOUUUUUU ARE!!!!! I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR MISS. STATE!!!!!!!!! PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!! I GUARANTEE WHEN YOU COME TO OUR HOUSE YOU WOULD AND WILL NEVER BE TREATED THE WAY WE WERE IN YOURS…..NO CLASS WHATSOEVER!!!!
I am proud to be a UK fan. Miss. State never got the classless treatment last year at Rupp when they beat us at home. Actually, nobody gets pelted with bottles and cups anywhere except MSU and W. Va. MSU, great team and coach, I hope you can find a better class of fans. Great game Cuz!
At least he got to keep his pride…
