Hope Your AD Has a Plan B in Mind
- Thread starter South Bend Boiler
- Start date
Neither Keady
or Painter were born in Louisville, played for Louisville or had parents and siblings that were born in Louisville and played for Louisville or own a home in Louisville or still hang out with best life long friends from Louisville.
Go Cards Beat Purdue!
He was kind of overshadowed by OJ Simpson, or he might have won the Heisman. Misused by the Eagles and his pro career never really took off.
I would think one winter in West Lafayette would be more than enough for anyone. Come to think of it, one weekend would be more than enough!!
I think that has more to do with those programs having unrivaled support because they lack professional franchises that would otherwise compete with the college programs for the fans' time and disposable income. It's no secret that Jurich and Pitino actively worked to block Louisville from getting an NBA franchise. They wanted UL to be the only show in town for selfish yet understandable reasons. It would've been awesome if a pro team had come to Louisville. It would've fast tracked the growth of this city in a huge way
Well I disagree with the blanket comment “it would’ve fast tracked the growth of this city in a huge way”. It certainly hasn’t added any great growth to either Oklahoma City or Memphis or, in fact, New Orleans. I credit the NFL franchise for the growth in Charlotte and Indy. The NBA does not add that much to most of the cities they reside in. I truly believe that the damage UofL athletics would suffer while attempting to compete with an NBA franchise would be debilitating to UofL athletics. Of course, you being a uahkay/cayut fan would actually hope for that scenario. I say send the NBA to Lessington’s corrupt arena and see how the big blow fanbase likes that. Oh wait, you already have a professional, full paid, team at corrupt arena. You just haven’t been caught . . . . . Yet.
GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!
Jurich didn’t block anything he just out maneuvered a bunch of UK grads that thought they were smarter. Louisville isn’t getting an NBA team unless they plan on starting about 5 more clubs, which isn’t happening.
Louisville has more room for growth than the cities you mentioned IMO. Louisville is misrepresented as a larger city than it truly is because of the merger. There are quite a few cities with more substantial metropolitan areas than Louisville that appear smaller if you look strictly at the population. If Louisville proved that it could support an NBA franchise then there’s little doubt that national interest in opening business in dountown Louisville would increase.
Absolute B.S.
Stop inventing this unproven crap. Adding the phrase “there is little doubt” doesn’t make it true.
BTW, Downtown growth in Memphis began before the Grizzlies came to town.
This is just your opinion. The YUM has generated a lot of growth in downtown especially along the Main Street corridor. The NBA wouldn’t increase much, if any, more than has already occurred. Believe me, the NBA will have to grow by at least five and that isn’t happening any time soon. And why not in Lexington - size? If you want a professional franchise here then push for the MLS or NFL or MLB.
GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!
All of this guys post are tripe.
He's just a scaredy cayut who wants UofL to have 3 or 4 straight losing seasons.
We fans and players refused this.
There are some uofk fans who recognize that Brohm is the real deal. Some wish they could hire him and dump stoopy.
If Fickell or Campbell or Babers was the number one target, he'd still post that same stupid mantra of " i dont know why he would come to Louisville, its a lateral move crap."
SuCkS fans only became interested in the NBA when crapiperi showed up.
They want a franchise here with crapiperi as the coach and the majority of players from SuCkS. Once crapiperi slinks away after getting caught cheating, theyll hate the NBA again.
What???!! You didn’t know that?? Led by Purdue’s version of Damon Bailey, Roy Mount?? He’s a legend! <dripping sarcasm>
Louisville can’t fully support a Top Golf much less an NBA team.
The only thing keeping Louisville from growing and expanding is Frankfort...and it doesn’t matter who is in charge (D or R). There is just a natural hatred of the city from the vast rural areas. I know it, you know it, we all know it..
As somebody who knows better then most, it has had enormous impact on Nashville. They got an NFL franchise and they set the stage for a dynamic downtown growth period.
I lived in Nashville for 17 years. The Preds and the Titans certainly did add to the dynamic growth of Nashville but they aren’t the only reason. Nashville was taking off anyway and the NHL and NFL latched on for the ride. Nashville is also the state capital of Tennessee, makes things a lot different than Louisville. The state of Tennessee hates Memphis, not Nashville.
The big difference is that Tennessee embraces Nashville. The hillbillies in KY are afraid of Louisville. They want the taxes generated in Louisville and that’s it.
Im in the minority, but i do believe the NBA could work here. It did before with UofL and ABA team. Id love to have a NFL and NBA team here. However thats a basketball topic.
Lets not derail the fact that Plan A, B, and C is Brohm.
The question is does Purdue have a plan b.
Just like with Bear Bryant, 'Mommas callin.
Jeff Brohm will be the next Head Coach at the University of Louisville.

Or 1980. If you come over to our board to tak trash and proactively bring up Final Fours on your own, be prepared to get called out for your lack of knowledge.
I'm with you, get Brohm in here ASAP and yes, I think a NBA team would be neat.
Louisville is a wonderful city in many ways, professional sports is not one of them. The notion of pro sports killing the college sporting scene is unproven and unfounded, IMO.
Purdue isn’t nearly identical to UK.

Oh and for you claiming IU should be better than Purdue in football, I give you this:

So when are you guys going to start yapping at Kansas, they just took your next football coach...
If you don’t think he is staying in WL after his BTN interview, you are in denial.

Oh honey, if you thought that you wouldn’t be here. Time to go change your underwear again!
Hell, I was about to say the same thing about PU's AD, except add a Plan C-D-E. I wonder if Phil Fulmer is available to help you guys.
Rick Mount. He would be a legend if they’d had the three point shot in those days. Bob Ford was a good player too.What???!! You didn’t know that?? Led by Purdue’s version of Damon Bailey, Roy Mount?? He’s a legend! <dripping sarcasm>
The only reason to visit WL is the XXX restaurant, a fabulous old fashioned diner with great burgers and shakes.
Still hearing Charlie Strong is very high on a short list. This is coming from a high donor that has always had reliable info. With Les Miles probably going to Kansas, that takes another possible candidate off the board.
Nobody knows where anyone is on the list except for Tyra. I promise you there's no chance in hell we would bring Strong back. And Miles was never a candidate.
Who’s third on that “donor’s” list - Steve Kragthorpe?
Buddy - you’re not fooling anyone here. Head back to the yut board.
Strong is just cannon fodder for the press who dont know anything about what happened here. In Short, he had an affair with a boosters wife and thats part of why he wanted to get the hell out of Dodge. I doubt he would want to come back here [or his wife].
I like Myles, I think he could have done well here.
I’m not being impatient. I just wonder there might be better options. He’s not a home run hire. Take away his ties to Louisville, I’m not sure he’s on the radar.
There are zero sure fire home run hires that are out there. What makes Brohm the closest is the belief in his loyalty to the program and the longevity it will create. UofL’s program will never take the next step when it’s playing musical chairs with its HC position every four years.
You always seem really dialed in and it's not like you to make any bold claims. You going on a hunch with this one or do you have a little inside info? Just curious.
