I dont normally come over here, but you guys are wanting this to be true so badly, that you are not even close to thinking objectively.

Youre only elements of evidence are:

A pic of Trez with a girl...
An instagram where a naked girl asks blakney whats up.
You have phone record, but a "virus" lost them all.
A *****'s word who pimps out her daughters.
A writer who was arrested before on criminal charges.

Yeah, solid proof. Well done detectives.


I love that you guys are putting up this front. You know as well as we do that your little brothel program is screwed for years to come.:cool2:[banana]

Well said. This is what I've been telling them. With real journalists like Howie and Ramsey telling us this isn't true, we have to believe them. These guys are in the know. Instead a bunch of random posters on here all act as if they are the experts. Again, I will say if Howie and Ramsey turn out to be wrong and they've been telling us nothing happened when it actually did, then they should be fired. But they wouldn't risk that so you know they have to be telling the truth.

Like RC said, you guys want it to be true so bad that you will twist anything to make it a formality that this happened at UofL. Well, it didn't. Or at least to this point there is no proof that it did. One last time, if it does turn out to be true then Howie and Ramsey need to go. That simple. And at which point even I will apologize and own up that I was wrong.

Youre only elements of evidence are:

A pic of Trez with a girl...that happens to be a hooker paid for by a coach in the basketball dorm.
An instagram where a naked girl asks blakney whats up...and confirming that he remembers her from a party at Embassy Suites in Louisville.
You have phone record, but a "virus" lost them all...except all of the texts in the book and phone records possessed by Cady, a Pulitzer prize winner.
A *****'s word who pimps out her daughters...and the word of a Pulitzer prize winning journalist, and lawyers, and investigators, and records, etc.
A writer who was arrested before on criminal charges...but was exonerated because he was arrested by the very cops that he and other journalists were bringing down in a corruption sting, winning them a Pulitzer prize.

Yeah, solid proof. Well done detectives.

Mr. RationalCard, what you've just said is one of the most insanely ionic things I have ever read. At every point in your well thought out, coherent response; you came closer than anyone to what could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now brighter for having read it. I award you the maximum amount of points, and may you have mercy on God's soul.

Wrong, there are TONS of phone records that were verified by a forensic information team.
There is also a copy of a money order sent from California to Powell from Mcgee.

do you mean "solid proof" like the proof that your coach has already been caught up in a sex scandal?

you guys really need to open your minds
her book may have a few exaggerations (human nature) in it, but the core looks like it is very truthful
instead of deflecting and denying, you need to be preparing for UL to get hammered

this is not a criminal trial, but even in a criminal trial you can still get a conviction with enough circumstantial evidence
the book alone has enough for the NCAA to start a very serious investigation

this issue with Cards fans is that, for the most part, none of them read the book. They're just repeating what others said about it as fact, when it's often not fact at all.

According to the book, Powell thought "a virus" had deleted her texts, but the IBJ team was able to recover almost all of them.

What we actually have, even if nothing else whatsoever comes forward:

1. A journal with very specific details -- names, dates and locations

2. Pics of admitted prostitutes in the athletic dorms with players

3. Texts from the Director of Basketball Operations setting up these meetings

4. Receipt from same person paying the admitted prostitutes with a Money Order

All that really needs to happen is to confirm the texts / money order really did come from McGee, and . . .

Its not just UK fans, The national media has already seen enough to know there is merit to the story. If you go to the national board, the consensus from fans across the nation is that there is enough proof that the story is true. Only UL fans are denying this.

A virus did not lose them all, just most of them. And a 3rd party verified what was saved was legit and McGee was indeed texting those messages.
If you believe she pimps out her own daughters then she has enough credit for all of this to be true
A writer who was arrested on criminal charges ???????? Read up on his past you moronic twit . Those charges were a setup from the cops he was doing an expose on.... Prostitution... oh yeah like he did here... and HE WON. They were all ousted and charges were dropped.
And last I'll tackle the Blakeney thing, she asked if he remembered her.. he said yes. He sees so many people , he wouldnt remember her unless something happened to make it note worthy.

There was far far far less evidence in the Rose SAT incident and look what happened.

Rational Card wants a link to the video of money exchange happening and said acts.

Come to think of it, i have seen videos like this before. Fabulous plot line. Ending is usually money.

A pic of Trez with a girl... - In which Trez denies having any knowledge of these people or ever meeting them, saying he was off campus at his girlfriend's house all of the time. So which is it? He doesn't know who these people are or he's standing in Minardi Hall hallway posing for pictures with them?

An instagram where a naked girl asks blakney whats up. - That's Blakeney admitting to being introduced to self anointed, proud to be prostitutes while on his visit at UofL.

You have phone record, but a "virus" lost them all. - Cady had a former FBI agent verify the phone records. Needles to say, that agent gave him the thumbs up that the records were legit.

A *****'s word who pimps out her daughters.- The economy is f'd these days. Hoes have to eat, too.

A writer who was arrested before on criminal charges. - Cady won a Pulitzer for uncovering decades worth of corruption within the police force. That same corrupt police force slapped bogus charges on him in an attempt to strong-arm him and scare him into not exposing them. Once his story ran and he exposed them for what they were, all charges were dropped

Apparently the company who published the book (IBJ I believe) and the author, who won a Pulitzer for investigating/writing about police corruption and a sex ring in Indy, did their back-ground due diligence on the information Powell was giving them. They stand to lose their jobs/reputations and possibly face lawsuits if this is blatantly false. Since both decided to move forward with it, I would have to think their third-party investigators found enough/showed enough for both IBJ and the author to be comfortable with the book being released. That should worry any UL fan, even the ones with their heads stuck firmly between Jurich's sphincter and his colon.

Put your evidence that it didn't happen up against ours that says it did. Who is relying more on speculation? What does your circumstantial evidence consist of beyond "this is very unfortunate for our team and therefore cannot be true"?

Who knows what the whole truth is, but if Pat freaking Forde broke the story you know there is some merit to it. I'm surprised how UL fans think the media is out to get them, especially with all the stories that have casually been swept under the rug for them over the years.

Actually, Forde breaking the story was a coordinated UL PR effort. The story definitely has legs, but Forde is still a UL mouthpiece. Dont let him breaking the story fool you.

I went over this about 15 pages ago. So its understandable anyone could miss it in a thread this size.

I was suspicious of petjurino in the past. Now, I'm thoroughly convinced that it's a novelty account.

No doubt in my mind hes a parody. I came to that conclusion after a thread about Petrino a few months ago.

Confirmed by the NCAA.

This is actually one of the most cut and dry cases that will come before them. Most don't have nearly this much direct evidence.

Once the NCAA independently verifies that McGee was indeed the person who was in contact with these "ladies", it is all over.

Sad that the UL fans can't see this, but oh so enjoyable for us as we will be able to watch them slowly come to this realization over the weeks and months ahead.

Let's say for a second that:

there were no pictures taken inside Minardi Hall.
there were no text messages.
there was no receipt of money transfer.
there was no admission of acquaintance by any player or recruit.

I would still think this whole thing is funny just because someone was pranking hard on the dirty birds. But we don't have to say those things don't exist, they do. HAHAHA

My God.

He screws around on Minardi's sister and then they sponsor whores in a dorm named after the poor man and he continues to dredge him up. Hides behind the Pope and how he fixed UK to prop up his image.

the pic next to her doesnt prove anything, other than a fan of Mega, but who isnt?
The text messages cant be confirmed. The person saying they are confirmed is the author, but not showing them.
Someone got wired some money? An ex-girlfriend? who knows, doesnt prove prostiution.
Being an acquaintance doesn't prove this again.

I get you all would love for this to be true, but you have circumstantial evidence at best. Too much dot connecting. Keep reaching though.

I like your conviction. However, this is not a criminal case. It does not have to be proven by a preponderance of evidence. Actually, the NCAA could decapitate you because they have to rule on UNC. They need no burden of proof as the UL fans hope for. There is enough smoke to realize the fire is not far away. They will find it.

Actually, what ymmot said is correct.
Absent of any evidence the burden of proof is on the accuser. However, there is a ton of evidence in this case and the burden of proof shifts to UL to disprove the evidence at hand. Good grief.
