The fact that Petrino (because of his long history of a lack of ethics) and Pitino(in view of his more recent history)are at UL says all that needs to be said about UL's football and basketball programs. Only UNC has done more to tarnish college athletics in the recent past,win at all costs,do whatever it takes to win and rules or ethical behavior be damned that is the state of the programs at UL.If they are fine with it so am I they are still nothing more than a second rate program trying to convince the world that they are something that they will never be.

Second rate programs usually aren't ranked in all of the major sports, but I guess that isn't a factor in your outlook.
We agree on that point,rankings are one thing,UL's situation with these two(Petrino and Pitino) is a whole other matter or issue.
Yeah, Card fans should have a lot of experience with that over the years.
What are you doing on our board?
I hope you're right, I'd love it if Stoops works out here. He's going to have to show a lot better coaching than he has so far though.
Posting on a message board. Do you only want to hear from people that think like you?
Spoken eloquently with blinders on to justify Mr. Petrino's history as a football coach. You wanted to win and you have due to his considerable ability to succeed. There is nothing more to discuss.
That was ONLY because they were being incorrectly informed that all of Barnhart's targets were saying no, and they were panicking. At that time, most didn't know that the search had already landed on Mark Stoops.
As yall should know, at UofLol, as long as you get the W, they will overlook just about anything. He has taken them back to the top 25 again.
Second rate programs? Maybe you are thinking of your other adulterer (and abortionist) sport. And the Minardi Hall affair might not be over with yet, although the NCAA seldom gets it right.
Does anyone think that there is a group of UK fans that lurk the UL board and post every time UK, a UK player or UK coach is mentioned?
They have about half of their first dozen threads concerning something to do with UK... I wonder how many UK fans are in those threads.
But, UK is the one school they claim is irrelevant to them...

No, they wouldn't allow it. They allow zero difference in opinion on the two UL boards (Scout and rivals). UK fans get zero tolerance, and even UL fans that have dared to question the scandal and the associated coaches and AD, get vilified and labeled as trolls or closet UK fans. For this reason, I find it highly amusing to see rockycard ask a UK fan if he only wanted to hear opinions like his. I find this board to be much more tolerant of UL fans and differing opinions that theirs boards are for us. If not, then Wildcard and steelers and all of those guys who constantly throw flames would never be allowed to continue posting here.
Today Malcolm McClain, or whoever the lastest 680 instigator is named, said that Bobby P has proven he can beat better teams with less talent.
When?
When?
Woah...hold on there. Yes he has yet to beat Clemson or FSU but both Clemson games were a nail biter and Clemson just about shiatt their pants. One FSU game was almost an upset but last years game at FSU got away from them late. That same "depleted Notre Dame team" as you state that UofL beat went on to beat LSU in a bowl game 2 games later. All that, with playing with a young O-line that Strong had not built depth on and a bunch of players not designed for Petrinos style of play. Everywhere he has played it was year 3 that was his best teams.

Actually this is a lie. Half of the first dozen posts do not involve UK. There are 3 on the entire page presently. A UK poster jvolk responds fairly frequently but not many UK posters reply on the football thread for obvious reasons. Come basketball season there are more UK fans that will post.

You can be happy he's your coach at UL. You can make all the excuses you want for how you almost beat this team or that team. But, the fact remains, his best win is against a ND team at the time was missing several key players. I don't follow ND, I don't know how healthy they got by bowl season but I know at the time, key guys were out against UL.
We'll see what happens this year. UL's success is going to come down to the QB play of Jackson and how consistent he can play. Petrino will probably beat UK again this year and all this talk will begin again but I'm glad UK passed even though I'm not 100% sold or happy with Stoops so far.
