How come writers these days can't make their point without bringing in personal feelings? If someone thinks Rick knew or should've known and shouldn't be able to continue at least write a story and include a good reason for that opinion.Because they are weak and ungrounded in actual reality. The pillorying of Rick - I forgot - also includes bitter Celtic fans.

Meanwhile Rick fields the most competitive cast of upright and committed characters in college basketball.

The casual dissing of Pitino by so many reaches an almost absurd apogee with all this swirling crap. No one holds back in identifying the largest evil in the game - Rick Pitino.

How bizarre is that?

A little mildly entertaining exchange...

I have to doubt that it is Balado because he is still very involved in the team. If there was any inkling that it was him he would have been placed on leave, otherwise taking a ban and still allowing him to coach would be a wasted effort on our part. I also doubt that it was Marra? How much money was he making at the time or does he come from a wealthy family. Maybe Zipp was right, Marra was wearing his hat backwards in the 2013 championship photo so that means he is evil.
Mark it down we agree on something... No chance it's Belado because of his ongoing involvement.

But it's not "evil", it's juvenile. Asinine. Immature. And not what you want in charge of others of similar maturity. But not evil...
Zipp,
Here is an honest question? What do you think about CRP's tattoo?
Not to answer a question with a question, but do you honestly think that Pitino can be criticized as immature?



What?!?

UL fans are so caught up in trying to attain what UK has that they've left sanity behind. They dont care if Pitino killed people in cold blood... they want to win and they want to show up big brother.

The NCAA is furious at UL and Pitino and you can tell by what the 2 NCAA guys told OTL on ESPN...

Yet UL fans cant believe why people are crushing Pitino..

Did we ever figure out who the third recruit was? We know Blakeney and Lyle. What about the kid who ended up at Illinois? Or the freshman last year from Seattle who transferred? Or maybe one of the guys from the championship team.

"it's hard to argue that Ulis is the better player." --Zipp comparing Tyler to Q. Snider

This is not a joke..

Oh sure real hard to argue... if you had a stroke that put you into a coma. Lets see... Ulis is an all american. Snider made the all Loyalty to Pitino team for not admitting to hookers so i guess thats something. and when going head to head this year

Snider - 28 minutes 0 pts..... 1 assist. 2 rebounds... 0-5 shooting

Ulis - 39 minutes 21 pts 8 assists 1 rebound 7-12 shooting.

Wow... I guess thats proof I'm not in a coma so yay for that!

They must really be losing their minds on their scout board. I haven't posted their but I go their occasionally to read their delusional posts but I have now been banned. Can you be banned without posting?

Most Upright and Committed Characters? Like Samardo Samuels,Chane Behannan,Chris Jones,Terry Rozier,Preston Knowles,Terrence Jennings,and a slew of other upstanding Derrick Characters

not sure if i'm more amused or ashamed that this thread has 435 pages.......
I'd be ashamed that UL and it's fans Condone and want to keep Coaches who LIe,Cheat,Cover up,and serve Whores to High School Kids among other transgressions,any normal FanBase would demand the Coach be Fired and the University Clean House,not at Cesspool U

The recruits fathers got sex. What about the recruits mothers? Surely they have some gigolos in the community. If they didn't provide male companionship for the women's basketball team would that not be a Title IX violation? Where is the outrage for that?

LOL! This is the Terrence Williams connection. What recruit's mom wouldn't want to sleep with Elvis.

another coach would already been fired. imagine the hell uk and coach cal would be in if cal knocked up a woman on a pizza hut table, paid for the abortion, had an asst coach marry her, than take her to court. then have strippers and whores for four year, one during our championship year. i hope the ncaa stomps the crap out of ul. at least as bad as what they did to us in the 80's for a whole lot less.

Quoted for being a great summary.

Players that win championship games get the reward of championship rings, a trophy per say for the whole team that participated in the event. Now on the other hand if a team does not go to the tournament but awards not all but two players personal rings for some bogus reason they did not get to go to the tournament should be recognized as a form of payment for coming to "our" school..What it says to me is, sorry we did not hold up on our end and go to the NCAA tourney so here's something for your trouble, and that's what it was. Nobody else received rings. How come other teams that did not make tourney pass out "thank you " rings to their players? Whether it's monetary ( probably happened in some form too) or rings, it's unearned payment for being there. It's so brazen to do such a thing while under investigation, proves they don't give a rats *** what anybody thinks..

Roy Williams got in trouble for giving gifts to graduating players, why is this any different? I want them punished for these impermissible benefits consecutive to the current scandal and not concurrently. Kick em when they're down. It's easier to kick them that way.
