anyone notice how proudly some of them are claiming they dont recruit elite talent and rick has always gone for the long term guys... ? i live here and remember when they were getting telfair, donta smith, and they thought they were getting lebron and tyreke... those dudes wanted what cal has built here so bad and they are falling all over themselves now to act like they are above it. L1C4 wasn't a winning slogan... it was an excuse.

The only card they have left to play is "Yeah, you guys have success, but not nearly as much success as you should have considering your talent".

That's when you lay your 8 down on top of their 3. Mwahahaha.

Last night I ran into an old friend that is a die hard UL fan. This was our first face to face since the pay and play thing came out. His first words were nothing is proven and Hancock said it didn't happen. I said its up to UL to prove it didn't happen and I don't think they can as some of the guys Pitino has ran off will spill the beans. He said that if it turned out to be true and they failed to get rid of Pitino he was going to change schools and go with a school that wore blue. Knowing he hated UK with a passion I knew it had to be someone else, it was. He said he would become a Duke fan, I told him any team you pick is a step up from the where you came from. The denial that UL sucks runs deep in the ville.

If it didn't happen, maybe your friend should explain the Chris Jones tweet.

Hey guys, if you went out to a strip club and your gf / wife heard a rumor about it..... Would your best friends lie for you to help you out? Im pretty damn sure they would.

I don't know, you guys. I just read the Henderson article and he said he never saw anything like what Powell described. Now that is four white guys who say they never saw anything. I'm not a black guy, but if I was, I don't see how I could think of having a party with strippers and whores and not invite Henderson and Hancock.

Everything made sense until now.

The thinnest, weakest, most useless reason they spout about this not happening is the one that consists of Rick being an upstanding guy with a track record of being a decent human.

I think Henderson, Hancock, Van Treese and the other guy are telling the truth about not seeing anything. I know their story has absolutely nothing to do with whether it happened or not. The evidence that says it DID happen is worth so much more.

So again the spectre of race comes into play. The white guys plead ignorance which jibes with only black guys being mentioned in the book. Some poster wrote an articulate post regarding that aspect of this situation way back in the thread.

If this was really happening, they would have to be careful which players and recruits to approach because not all would be expected to approve. Especially parents and guardians. White or black.

Most of them probably weren't told the women were being paid.

Show of hands....how many people believe this only went on at Louisville? Can you or can you not see this same thing happening at Cincinnati, Memphis, DePaul, UNLV, etc? We all know that at SEC, Big 10, Pac 10, and most ACC schools there are dozens of girls more than happy to show recruits around campus, girls who fill the request that some of these players supposedly made. And they aren't paid to do so (at least not that we know of).

I just saw where Katina's lawyer has been getting death threats. A Louisville fan said, that UK fans have been pretending to be card fans and threatening him. So funny what they come up with. lol

Show of hands of people who think this is going to be pushed so far down the line like UNC's that UL will probably get off very easy.:zzz:

Pitino didn't take questions today, per Jeff Greer on twitter. He "wasn't feeling well."

There has to be some new revelations in this case, right? There just HAS to be more damning evidence and dirty UofL laundry out there that needs to see the light of day.
Hopefully this coming week!

Armageddon would be the Feds getting involved because some of the girls were underaged.

Outside The Lines Tuesday or Wednesday

Katina and the other prostitutes interviewed. Already taped it. For some reason ESPN is waiting until next week to broadcast.

That will be better than an episode of Jerry Springer, I simply can wait! How many one liners is this board going to erupt with after that segment?

None of them could have possibly been told the women were being paid because that would make the girls way less appealing and because it's illegal as hell.
