Why are you going to UK games? I mean you're free to do what you want but it seems like a strange hobby for a Louisville fan.
Dude ...you are...no not going there. I promise you you don't know a bigger UK fan than me and have no clue..by the way where are your seats again?. Those that know me would laugh at you, but have at it ..

Good news. While most of the Tard fans were crying sour grapes while insisting that he never really was the WR coach in the first place, a few were suggesting that this was just a tactic to get a raise, and that he wasn't really leaving.

We all should be happy, then

I don't have to prove anything Jack. He said it, I heard it. It's a fact. Must have said it on one of those practical days you missed.
Well you'll have to prove it for me to believe it , otherwise we'll just have to agree to disagree .

Rhavicc...you may be a little right, but I'm sorry I am just not big on the leadership of this program right now and I hope I turn out to be completely wrong and I will be happy yo eat all the crow I need to eat. The recruiting is going great, but until we see the results with the leadership on the sidelines I will remain skeptical all the whIle being at the games cheering my head off

According to Louisville fans, he was getting paid 6 figures to not coach wrs, all he did was recruit, but at the same time he didn't even help bring in any recruits. So he got paid 6 figures to do nothing? Sounds like he has the best job in the world. He isn't asked to do anything yet he keeps getting that check. Must've been a real funny, likable guy to keep getting paid big money like that, maybe he was the coaches personal stand up comedian?

It's funny because Louisville fans say the same thing about UK, yet we both still talk about each other. The song "stuck in the middle with you" comes to mind.

As Louisville should. Kentucky is your superior in every sport even though you've owned us in just football. Kentucky is the bigger, more successful flagship school, so it's understandable why Louisville is obsessed with Kentucky.

I'll be honest, I don't know why it's the other way around with some of our fans, but it's pretty sad and embarrassing.

I get it, just give it time. I think in the end we'll be satisfied. (I won't say all of us because we both know many here will complain no matter what level of play Kentucky makes it to)

You're confusing him speaking about the possibility of Cal leaving or the things that would need to happen in order for Cal to leave for him actually saying Cal is leaving. These are completely different things.

And you're wrong, btw.

So am I the only one that thinks we could have done better than this??

http://deadspin.com/207778/back-to-you-in-the-booth-lamar

Isn't our whole thing doing it the "right way"? We all love busting balls about Pitino and Petrino being adulterers but we just hired a woman beater with a Miami-esqe rap sheet from a program we all know to be cheaters to be our ace recruiter.

I saw that yesterday too and it was certainly disheartening.

But you also have to take into account that the post is almost 10 years old. People learn from their mistakes and grow. I trust Mitch Barnhart to vet the guy and be solid judge of character.

I don't doubt the dude has changed but this has proven to be a pain in my *** already in the trash talking department. I've been blowing people up with the "culture of abuse" talk since Petrino go re-hired and already I've had this thrown in my face by every UL fan I know.

Also, I just think we could have done better.

On the bright side, he's been with Petrino for 3 years and knows how the guy game plans so that may help us in the series. You see those type of hires all the time in the NFL with coaches and players. He also probably has some pretty good leads on players coming out of Dade County which would be interested in playing for an SEC school.

I wondered when this rat would crawl out from his hole..here he is..
Have you considered the timing of all this, by any chance? Is some UofL coach going to announce he's leaving all upset on the day before signing day for college prospects and somehow try and rain on the Louisville NSD parade?? Is there any part of this that makes any sense?

I'll grant you, he may well have been leaving. But who makes this kind of splash on the way out? This guy has to work in coaching circles for the rest of his life. This is a seriously awful look for him. I imagine someone - maybe even Matty Bangs - got wind of it and leaked it. But if this were leaked by someone in the UK program, lol, that's an even worse look.

I'm confused, so very confused.

GA's not GA'ing but doing position coach duties, men being paid to be position coaches who aren't required by their HC to coach the position he was hired to coach nor recruit...

I'm confused by it all, but I'm not sure that this matters any more.

The important thing now is if he's on staff at UK now, how is Coach Stoops intending on using him, can he do the job that's required and can he help improve the program.

I believe he can.

Time will tell.

"This is a seriously awful look for him"......You have to love this comment from a fan base that supports Pitino's ***** house to the scum bag Petrino....You're going to be concerned for the way something looks? Did Petrino make any splashes on his way out of coaching positions?

[roll] You just can't make this up!

Now, here is part of the UL spin.

On the other hand, the guy could have announced before Fitz committed and Mullen visited. UL fans always claiming a conspiracy. That is the most predicable thing in sports. The refs, ESPN, the CJ, Donald Trump, their own coaches, Obama ... all out to get 'em!!!!

Seriously how can any one who supports UL athletics question the way something looks?

They're so caught up as you say in their own tangled spin it is fun to watch.

Tommy Tubberville, former UL and Ark players he coached. Falcon players who he coached for 2/3 of a year and quit, Mike Zimmer, Brad Durham all say hello to Bobby. Many more out there. The fiancé and swim coach who beat his *** in Ark for messing around with his girl.

IMO

Some ugly stuff there. The article talks a lot About arrests and suggests convictions. Poor journalism to not specify outcomes. But, the claims are awful and while I like second and third chances, I admit I like it when other programs offer those (just being honest).

Also, the Teague take-away is one of my favorite moments in college football.

I thought you were actually going to address what I said. Why would he choose this moment, lol? My take? he didn't. So who does that leave? Do you honestly think he would try and do damage on his way out - especially to Lexington?? Simple questions.

So... shut up with the trash talk. Casting stones, karma, what goes around... those idioms and ideologies exist for good reason.

It could have been someone who works for UL. A little insight here. There are UK fans who work at UL. How do you think Jones gets so many inside scoops about UL?

The fact that you are working this so hard without any real info is what makes me laugh.

The classic trait of a Uofl Fan - complete and utter lack of self-awareness.
