Any truth to the rumor that a zombie looking guy with a Cardinal tattoo has stolen a barrel full of penicillin from a free clinic in Valley Station?

I'm just curious as to what they will find when they start digging. It's going to be glorious.

Wait. Let's get this into perspective. The whores are the innocence in this whole thing.

Innocence is an interesting thing to discuss during a topic of filth and immorality, but only when willing to concede from where that filth and immorality is centered, from where it originates. And no, I'm not thumping a bible here, that is something I do not do. Yet I make not judgment of those who may.

I will not read this book, but I cannot help but imagine if it truly allows the reader to contemplate the engineering of prostitution and delinquency that is being implied upon the University of Louisville. Or if it actually allows the reader to contemplate that the whores were maybe not entirely seasoned veterans in their trade. Surely the process being accused managed some virtue at least, by ensuring that these "kids" being recruited were not being exposed to girls or women who had been ENTIRELY cast about in the sordid profession - hopefully somewhat new to the business, or maybe recently "interested" in it. Maybe they had some flitter of remaining innocence themselves until the Pitino-Jurich-yum-yum system cut their nets upon them? Who is to say? And the "kids" being recruited themselves? Does the book allow the reader to perceive sex only as an impermissible benefit or does it allow the reader to understand that the assumption that they (the "kids") had already engaged in a life of teenage sex-sex-sex is an immoral assumption, and that the "kids" could therefore not be somehow emotionally traumatized by prostitution is also an immoral assumption (and probably a racist one). This thing is so filthy and so immoral it disgusts me that Pitino was ever our coach.

Maybe the next UofL player facing rape charges won't be so coincidentally cleared on all counts the next time around. And what a beautiful defense he will almost be forced to present for himself, by claiming he would never have had become a sex addict were it not for the immoral recruiting system that brought him to Louisville, Kentucky in the first place.

to finance this for four years would be a little expensive.
No..not really... 10 K buys a lot of booty for those special occasions... Going out on a limb and assume that the relationship between the madam/girls/players/coaches wasn't a simple "quid-pro-quo" arrrangement as is on the street.....

I'm wondering who (if anyone) will want to sort out this mess. UL Athletic department? UL President? UL Trustees? NCAA? Louisville Police? Campus Police?

I fear that this will slowly disappear with the authorities saying: "It's all salacious conjecture with no tangible foundation that it ever happened."

I mentioned this back on page 18 of this thread. Someone noted Mcgee's phone number was a Los Angeles area code and that made me think about interstate law and RICO. I said in that comment that UL fans had better hope that wasn't the case or Mcgee might spill the beans in a trade for immunity. He may know a lot more.
Sorry, I must have missed your comments, lots of UL people could be in trouble before this ends

This reminds me, anyone else remember the UL Prof that wrote the Editorial piece a few years back blasting Cal/UK on ruining CBB? I wonder what that **** thinks about all of this.

Okay, I have the winner. Took me two days but here goes....

"What do you want from us, recruits? Julia Roberts is not walking through that door! Jamie Lee Curtis is not walking through that door! Jane Fonda is not walking through that door!"

Remember the story about the professors retiring and being given large sums of money on the condition they not talk about their time at ul? I do. I wonder if they all knew about this scheme as well.

Also, in hindsight, it no longer looks fishy that someone so young, so inexperienced, would be given the position of "head of basketball operations". Rick knew what was going on and probably was the brain behind keeping the orgies behind closed doors at Minardi Hall. A normal person would have learned that deceit behind closed doors is only a secret until the door is open again. Rick is not a normal person.

When you look at Pitino's past character issues, would it be at all surprising that he would think a legitimate way to lock up recruits would be to throw some nasty piece of trim at them? Hell, they probably scared off more recruits than they landed.

By the way, I suspect there is a very good reason Pitino was talking nice about McGee and talking about forgiving him and everything. He's counting on McGee to keep his mouth shut and cover for him.

If this becomes a federal investigation though (as it very well could) this could get ugly if they offer McGee immunity for fessing up about the source of the money.

Remember the scene in Animal House where Tim Matheson addresses the fraternity council about Delta House's misdeeds and he gives the "If you're going to indict us, isn't that an indictment of our entire fraternity system, and the fraternity system indicts the college system, and then eventually it indicts the United States of America?

This was actually posted on U of L's board....

"What you have here runs deeper as an overall disregard of morals, integrity and ethics as a society. This got started in the 60s with the 1960s hippie drug counter culture, in which crude behavior, "free and open" drug use and sex was legitimized to youth. Then you have had national "leaders" like Teddy Kennedy and Bill Clinton of low morals. The morals problem has resulted in a large breakdown societally, and this is another pathetic example."

The "let's not worry that our coaches served recruits alcohol and hookers, because our whole society has morally declined" defense.

Yep. And his parents, whom he named specifically, are the two best people he has ever met.
