UNC fans have to be enjoying this way more than Cat fans and we all know why.

Yep. Their (and the NCAA's?) plan to just hang in there long enough for some other Big Scandal to come along... especially one with a lascivious factor to it... has reached fruition.

The two things Louisville fans are hanging on to:

1. So Lyle admitted to hooking up with chicks, so what? Just like every other recruiting trip ever LOL.
- If he confirmed the gist of the story, then he confirmed that it involved the Powell clan, who are prostitutes, which is not something you make up about yourself, you dunces.

2. So Lyle confirmed. Ooooh yeah? Well then what about ALL of our former players denying it?
- Uh, did you actually READ Rozier and Trez's "not touching this with a 10 foot pole" answers? They both could've said it didn't happen, Trez said I don't know about any of that because I lived with my girl. Rozier said he wants to focus on the Celtics and will answer when the time comes.

And the ex players who love Louisville and aren't under NCAA jurisdiction have WAY more incentive to lie than the kid who is currently attending a different NCAA institution and is getting grilled by them with the promise of immunity of he's truthful.

Off topic but Bobby Knight was an answer on Jeopardy last night. And no one knew it. LOL


"The clue, This insufferable drunken sweater vest wearing former indiana university basketball coach kisses his players on the lips, once shot his hunting buddy "on accident" and has Jared from Subway's email address in his phone"

"Who is Clappy?"

"No, sooorry."

Let the Pitino death watch officially begin.

The cards will begin to fall very quickly now. Jurich MUST do to Pitino what UMKC did to McGee, put on unpaid leave...until the investigation concludes. It is also possible that Pitino feels so much guilt over this that he steps down.

Wow....this is so good that I cannot wait for the movie to come out.

If this happened anywhere else you would be right. However, this is UL we're talking about. You know, the same place that re-hired Petrino, kept Pitino on staff after the Karen Sypher scandal, discriminates against women, takes players that no other program wants because they're criminals and kept Hurtt on staff even after he was hit with a show cause penalty from the NCAA. I could go on but you get the picture. They have no morals. They put winning above all else and will do anything to win. It would not surprise me to see them keep Pitino if anything comes to light that he was involved in this.

how in the world did Rick have Tubby on his staff when he acted like a man-*****?
Tubby was not the best recruiter or basketball coach ever was, but he was a moral man while here.

I'd like to know where Kevin Ware is in all this. He was Behanan's best buddy. Ware was The Cheech to Behanan's Chong. He's lying in the weeds somewhere, ready to jump out and stick it to Pitino.

I wouldn't really say either of those guys love Louisville. Refused to wear Louisville gear on draft night. I may be wrong but I don't get the impression either has any love for Pitino.

Let's be honest, with Pitino his history in restaurants is pretty checkered too so I don't know if it really makes a difference what he thought it was.

The UL scout board is absolute gold right now. On one hand they deny everything and on the other they're pretty much calling for Andre Mcgee to be strung up. " because he ruined their program" Talk about talking out of both sides of your mouth. LOL

ramsey gave turtleneck bobby the old "vote of confidence" at his presser today. how many times have we seen these "votes of confidence" turn out to be a precursor for the falling axe?

I still had one UL fan on Facebook say they still think there isn't any evidence to back these claims up despite Lyle confirming the allegations.

On his show today, Bob Valvano said he doesn't see how Rick can survive if more details of the book are confirmed.
What?! He just said yesterday he didn't see how much could come from this........To be fair - and accurate - what he said was he didn't see how the NCAA could strip a title or Final Four. I took that to mean he didn't think this rises to a very serious level - which of course is what it would take for Pitino not to survive. Maybe I misunderstood what he was implying....

I'm talking about other players who may have denied it - pretty sure one of their ex walk ons did for example.

The above two denied nothing, and Rozier's statement would keep me up at night if I were a cards fan.

I'm not trying to put the work on someone else but I have no intention of buying her book and I'm getting a little lost on events and dates. Can someone do a timeline with this, when her kids were supposedly working for her and what we think were their ages, and inject Lyles confirmed timeline into it? This situation is terrible to begin with, but the 15 and 17 year old changes things a great deal, particularly since we now have confirmation that she isn't lying about some of it, at least. For a federal sex trafficking charge, they only need to prove someone was under 18. Being 16 is irrelevant in this case. If they think that happened, and they probably have every reason to think so, this is gonna go nuclear. From my limited understanding, it appears that the statute of limitations clock doesn't run so long as the "victim" is still under 18. If thats the case, Katina could very well be looking at a trafficking charge.

Ha ha!

Listening to the radio and Jody Demling still doesn't believe it.

Even Vanetti is taking him to task!
First time I have ever listened to their show,

Demling making absolutely ridiculous arguments in order to try to keep propping up the Slick One.

The other two guys seem to be saying it is time for a complete house cleaning though.

I doubt anything more than a few games will happen to Blakeney. I would be surprised if that happens. As for UL, wowsers! The ACC should be calls the Atlantic Cheaters Conference.

You all are being quick to punish Blakeney. For what? Who knows if he lied. Maybe he said what Lyle said, or maybe nothing happened on his trip. A little hasty being NCAA investigators don't you think?

So far they've not candy coated much. Pretty much stating they don't see how Rick survives if this goes down the path they think it will. Had a guy named Jody on a call. He was saying Rick can survive because he didn't know. After he hung up, they said Jody had head in sand.

That was Jody Demling. He used to work for the Courier Journal as their "impartial" basketball recruiting guru which is exhibit A of how much the local media are complete sell outs for UofL.

He used to host a radio show locally for a UofL sponsored station, but the guy has gone total Line beard homer.
