Well, I don't have time to waste on deniers of UL's hooker-gate and you won't believe what a UK fan posts anyway. You've got two links to choose from and they will work after you get off work a McDonald's so, you can either listen to them then or GFY. Your choice.

If I call Papa John's, do I get a discount on pizza and does that discount apply to any whores? Askin' for a friend.

God what a gift this story is.. There is literally nothing Louisville fans can ever say again that can't immediately be destroyed... Almost feel bad for them.

Them: "OMG PayPal Cal cheaters LOL!!"

Us: "Your school hired whores for recruit"

Them: " Oh yeah well uh how much did Calimari pay for Murray?!"

Us: " Probably less than your whores"

Them: "well uh we uh won a title last so take that sUcK fan lol"

Us: "Oh yeah? You think the whores had anything to do with that title?"

It's glorious and eternal.

Rick had to know about it.... How could he not of heard about it from the recruits, guardians or other staff members along with McGee that Escorts were coming into the dorm and being paid for. Its going to come up at some point. Not to mention what idiotic coach doesn't plan out every aspect of the recruiting pitch? And whores is a recruiting pitch in this situation.

I dont buy the Rick had to know because he's a micro-manager. If you believe he's really that involved with his players then he must have been really thirsty for wins to keep Chris Jones and Chane around as long as he did. Hell he couldn't even care enough to slap a big mac out of Wayne Blackshear's hands, dude went full blimp in one season. Truth is he's been phoning it in for years and collecting checks. He does his job coaching the team, giving new recruits a handshake as he's on his way out the door to Porchinis and Molly's. Post game press conference? Let someone else deal with it. Rick ain't got time for that.

Pitino knew about chane , ware and Jones from the beginning. If UK fans and Matt Jones can hear about it when it first happened, so did Pitino. Its just Pitino made the decision several times over to just make them run extra laps for punishment because they needed those players and couldn't afford to severely punish them. after it became public, they got one more chance and then they couldn't keep them around or else it damages UL's rep.

@Dreklie @Rhavicc

I see you guys over on UL boards defending Skal.

To think they still want to talk smack claiming he will be ineligible with all they have going on now????

I tried to support you guys...




But fat Howie deleted my second sentence, not before the screenshot though...

Amazed I wasn't banned immediately. I, like most other decent UK fans do not talk any smack on other boards, but I couldn't resist this one.


And before some smug poster starts with the "I don't know why anybody would go to another team's message board..."

Deal with it, nobody cares what you think...

Curious why OTL didn't try to get Forde or Crawford on the discussion panel. After all it was Forde who broke the story. His relationship with the Mothership might be shaky but, still.
I know MJ has been on before but, he was kinda out of place there. Not complaining at all...just observing.
Maybe they were contacted and begged out?

Pitino might be a control freak but he also understands plausible deniability.

He may very well have set parameters for McGee and just gave McGee some vague instructions on seeing that boys are entertained like boys would like to be entertained.

Maybe he knew, maybe he didn't but I would be shocked to see anything that directly connects Pitino to giving approval, tacit or otherwise to McGee's actions.

papa john won't be endorsing UL for a while now. Hopefully he brings his NCAA sponsoring help over to UK again like in 2012 when we won the title. Not saying we won the title because of his NCAA sponsoring and help but it definitely didnt hurt

Reminds me of Godfather 2. "Buffers. Yeah the family had lots of buffers "

A question to ask is where did McGee learn the escort trick to recruiting? He went to UL... if he supposedly learned it from another school he visited as a recruit, then what made him think it would work for another recruit when it didnt for him.. or was this going on at UL for a lot longer than Powell says just because it was a different escort service before her?

I just find it terribly disturbing that this lady is admitting to pimping out her daughters, and there is picture evidence of her with UL players. That, in itself, is enough to cause major problems at UL. UL has character problems at every level. Disgusting.

That Wetzel to Forde podcast is pretty amazing. Hearing Forde say some of the stuff he does on that should be sobering for UL fans. Those guys basically gave credence to everything their fans are denying. Lays a lot of responsibility at RP's feet. Plenty of laughs at UL's expense too. Golden!
Listen to it via Crankdatmustard's link or at the one linked below.

If Magee did arrange all payments, then someone had to be bank-rolling him (likely a donar). If that were the case, I have a hard time believing that a donar could be doing this over multiple years w/out Pitino or Jurich at least hearing about it. Also have a hard time believing Magee could be paying for all this out of his own pocket (not like he has NBA earnings to use for it), so there is likely a backer somewhere.

How funny would i


If Magee did arrange all payments, then someone had to be bank-rolling him (likely a donar). If that were the case, I have a hard time believing that a donar could be doing this over multiple years w/out Pitino or Jurich at least hearing about it. Also have a hard time believing Magee could be paying for all this out of his own pocket (not like he has NBA earnings to use for it), so there is likely a backer somewhere.

For some reason, when thinking about a bankroller, the name TWill keeps coming to mind.

No proof, but he already shows up several times in the book.

I find it hard to believe that Pitino would have recruits on campus and NOT have account of how their time is spent.

Even if he doesn't micro manage EVERYTHING within the program (which by all accounts he does) you'd think that he'd at least be very "hands on" with recruits during their official visits.

I would think Pitino has too much at risk to believe that hooking his recruits up with whores is a beneficial situation.

If anyone knows about the possibility of a woman writing a book after having sex with someone associated with UL, its Rick Pitino.

I don't think people fully realize the arrogance of that whole program there. Jurich has OWNED the local media for years, Pitino is a god and Petrino was welcomed back with open arms because fans felt that winning covers up all.

There is NO WAY Pitino did not know something. Do I think he hired whores? Nope. Do I think he felt comfortable any transgression would be handled within and did not need to know? Absolutely.

I thought that bunch was untouchable, but after listening to and reading takes from talking heads, I think he is toast. Somebody has to go and it won't be Jurich. MaGee is already gone and he is not enough, IMO.

If Pitino goes, he'll recommend Tiny Rick! (only Rick and Morty fans will get it)

seriously, Pitino isn't going anywhere.

Is it possible Rick asked Magee to round up some ladies for potential recruits (something all schools do), and Magee made the decision to buy professionals? That's the only scenario I can think of to not blame Pitino for this.

I guarantee howie has banned every poster in this thread...he's gonna be eating alot of bowls of macaroni and mayonnaise to void this depression
I'm guessing he spends all day looking for the next excuse to celebrate by eating a lot of bowls of macaroni and mayonnaise.

"Hey. The mailman just arrived. Time to break out the barrel of macaroni and mayo!"

I think Matt knows better than to go on OTL and sling a bunch of dung. He was pretty evenhanded in my view. I thought all the talking points he chose were pretty standard, which is funny to say considering the absurdity of this story. UofL fans just hate it because they know what he really wants, which is for this to be true.

And, hey, I want that as well.

Forde said the banner is definitely in jeopardy. Said the NCAA can go to the recruits named in the book and tell them if they tell the truth they can have immunity, if they lie, they lose eligibility. Said he can't guarantee Rick will be the coach in six months.
