De-nial is a river in Egypt.

The guy has completely lost his mind.

Going against Ramsey and/or Jurich will not end well for him.

 

[Stonewall12]

He's done, folk's!

False

 

[Fannin12]

No, he is part of the history and accomplishments of UK!

 

[P.PattersonISwalkingthruthatdoor]

both awkward and surreal as far as interviews go.

he was pissed about the Lyle leak. really pissed.

 

[Tannerdad]

This is UL. He will be there until he's not. Nothing short of murder gets you fired there.

 

[johnnyrockets]

"Party like a 3 star" is pretty damn funny

 

[Tinker Dan]

It's shake and bake, and I helped

 

[Cats Gone Wild]

Players first versus sloppy 2nds

 

[PapawBuddha]

Ho Ho Ho Merry UL Christmas!!
Santa says UL has been very naughty!!

unless it's a cheerleader you murder in your dorm. then it doesn't matter anyways.

 

[BigBlueBrock_rivals381185]

I see zipp is just as delusional as ever.

 

[DelkBowl]

I thought he said several times it happened.

 

[jrpross_rivals]

I could be wrong but I honestly don't think Rick knew about this. If I was an unknowing coach in the midst of a scandal like this, people were calling for my job, and the AD was giving me zero support, I'd pretty much say whatever I felt like. Kind of a "screw it, do what you gotta do. I'll do my job until somebody tells me otherwise."

 

[SosaUK]

Plus one.

 

[P.PattersonISwalkingthruthatdoor]

Jurich is toast as well. It just scrolled across ESPN that the board is hiring their own law firm to investigate. I guess they don't trust the President and the Athletic department investigation.

With good reason. Otherwise, it's the fox tending the hen house.

When Jurich is left to his own devices, Pitino/Petrino is what you end up employing. And it should be touching embarrassing.

 

[jr40831]

Sexual deviance is more of a requirement to coach @ U of L. If he don't voluntarily leave, he's there for as long as he wants.

 

[Blueathletics]

It couldn't be teed up any better than now!

 

[Blue Decade]

He's done, folk's!

Agree. He is flopping like a fish on a pier.

* Doesn't know what resigning would accomplish (sees it as cowardly way out) "I don't know why you would ask me that"

* Can't answer why Ramsey mentioned Jurich and not him, sounded disappointed

* Says he turned UK around in terms of rules

* Still getting facts together

* Can't fathom the motive behind all of this

* What went on, but also why it went on. The why is very important to me.

* If he found out that player had stripper into dorm, "he'd be on a plane home"

* Brings up his brother's name on dorm again

* I don't know if McGee told me the truth or not "they asked me not to speak to him again"

* The whole thing makes no sense, you're not going to get players that way. What was the reason?

* Mad that NCAA leaked Lyle info ("Isn't that just great")

* Throwing McGee completely under bus now. He was a great kid. He had to know this would blow up. McGee got zero credit for bringing in recruits. Now he's a great kid again. Weird.

* I'm being told I can't speak to anybody.

* Andre has no access to cash from the university.

* "I want my players to completely talk and be honest."

* Preaches "be honest and problems become part of your past, lie and they become part of your future"

* Just going to concentrate on giving team the best year he can, talks about two fifth-year transfers

* I'm 63 years old. More passionate today than ever before. I'm not going to let anybody take that away from me.

* If Tom Jurich wants me to leave tomorrow I will pack my bags and leave.

* Again, sounds hurt by Ramsey comment (or lack of comment regarding him)

* Tough people get through tough times. Find the truth. Make sure this behavior never happens again.

* I have to take the blame for one thing. I didn't teach (whoever did this) enough.

Meiners isn't either quick on he's feet or didn't want to push him but when Rick kept saying over again he couldn't figure out what the reason why someone would supply hookers. My short question to Rick would be "because sex sells"....Male college athletes have been lured to schools for 100 years with sex. That's why the escorts provide by schools are not males.
Not sure why Rick is pushing this I don't understand the reason why hookers were supplied to help recruiting? Must be a reason. He should understand the reason better than anyone!!

 

[*CatinIL*]

He's done, folk's!

I'm not sure...we're talking about Louisville and they would/have sold their souls to the devil so I could see them keeping RP depending on what the NCAA does. Now, if the NCAA really lowers the boom then I think he's gone at the end of the season. The question will be, who would go there then?

 

[Cat06]

The President, Jurich and Pitino are finished. It just scrolled across ESPN a few minutes ago that the Board is hiring their own investigators.

This is in addittion to the Athletic department led investigation.

With all the crap going on with funds relating to the President, and now this, I predict the Board cleans house from the very top down.

 

[Chairman Meow]

both awkward and surreal as far as interviews go.

he was pissed about the Lyle leak. really pissed.

With all the lying and deflection and cover up by UL the past week, it was a brilliant move by the NCAA to leak that info. Now maybe more truth will filter out.

The man has a narcissistic behavior disorder,Lies more than Obama does,obviously had this set up to keep his name from being directly involved,but I have no doubt he was pushed to try and compete with Calipari and Kentucky by the unrealistic lil' brother fanbase.
The biggest denial and delusion comes from the same fanbase that actually thought they were amongst the elite schools in admitting they had to cheat to win a National Championship,Denies that they have slime running their Athletic Dept,and that Louisville Media is controlled by said slime

[Chairman Meow]

No way McGee can afford Scott Cox on a Graduate Assistant's salary.

I'd guess that the"lawyer money" is coming from the same source the "hooker money" came from.

Or an assistant coach salary at lowly UM-KC

 

[KapitalCat]

Speaking of football and a cheerleader ODing in a football players dorm room. A player who was later dismissed for.....drugs **feigned shock****...It would not be a big surprise if this issue with whores and money touches the football program at some point.

 

[*CatinIL*]

Has the word BRILLIANT and the letters NCAA ever gone together in the same sentence...I'm thinking this may be a first! [cheers]

 

[herodotus6]

So, the Louisville Foundation, an independent fundraising organization for UL has lawyered up with a big time firm. Could this be the money trail? Boosters gone rogue? Just interesting.

 

[hmt5000]

I love it that they are hoping people with dirt on us come forward now. Yea card fans you've had dirt on us that you aren't using. What was the plan, wait til we win 10 in a row before undoing our program?

 

[kat57]

Don't be naive. It is EXTREMELY improbable. It's not impossible, grant you, but it makes no sense whatsoever to tell the kid "lie or we'll punish you."

The NCAA is only investigating. why would they tell someone to lie? Sorry pet your explanation makes NO sense.

 

[mebeblue2]

both awkward and surreal as far as interviews go.

he was pissed about the Lyle leak. really pissed.

Jurich does not have a strangle hold on the national media
Pitino has been protected so long by Jurich that he has no idea that there is other media in the world
must be very eye opening for him

 

[BBUK_anon]

This is UL. He will be there until he's not. Nothing short of murder gets you fired there.

Um, ah, that may be a resume' enhancement...

Kind of a "screw it, do what you gotta do. I'll do my job until somebody tells me otherwise."

Pitino is the control freak of all freaks. Am friends of a former UK player who played for Rick. He swears that Pitino knew every minut detail of everything that went on under his watch 24/7... From class attendance to extra curricular activity.

He said that you're worst nightmare was to have a note posted on the bulletin board at Wildcat a Lodge , that Pitino wanted to see you immediately in his office.

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

 

[bigbluelou]

Considering all he's done and all he's been through. I mean, the guy does have options.

Here are a couple that come to mind. Feel free to add.

• Pimp
• Priest
• Charm School Director
• The Sham-Wow guy
• Ob/Gyn
• Guano Collector
• Guidance Counselor

Others?

See, this is what I think. The guy is the biggest arrogant, narcissistic, condescending control freak in the world...until chit hits the fan with his program. Then all of a sudden he's dumber than a duck in a bucket.
