You mean his cheating ways, acquiring 3 and 4 star athletes? UofL's best recruiting year ever was ranked #25 in the country. Petrino's last year's ranking was #35. His 2004 class which produced 13 NFL players and was ranked as #9 in the post-dated ranks following their matriculation, came in at...

LMAO. You're obviously a UK fan. Who cares what you think? Hating the town you live in - lol, congratulate yourself on a live fully lived!! I've lived in Vancouver, BC, Santa Cruz, California, Reno, Nevada and Portland, Oregon and I rate Louisville as equally appealing. Of course, much of the...

It's an urban university, lol. What do you think it's mission should have been? Not that ot matters...................in an article about the outgoing President, these are some facts around his tenure - to update you own perceptions, if nothing else. UConn's national ranking would set it about...

Your salt is warm and tasty. Have a terrific time wherever you end up.

I chose this post simply because of it's paradigmatic assessment of relative self worth between the schools. The myth of academic excellence has never extended to your sports teams, no matter your glowing pride over your supposed lofty status in academics for your general college population. It...

A primary difference between the Big 12 and ACC is in the more expansive and inclusive vision of the ACC. West Virginia is only now receiving a full share of revenues having endured the humiliation of red headed step children in a conference run by bean counters at Texas for their four years of...

Surely a league that typically projects 50% of its members into the tourney can draw a few eyeballs. In Olympic Sports, Louisville fans have always supported the squads in every way, and on very regular basis. Bowl Boards remember things like the 35K Louisville took to the Orange Bowl and an...

Pay attention. That's all I got. Shirley you will. UofL has been streaming players into the NFL. With Petrino back and a hot QB, you may want to watch. Then also, with FSU and Clemson on tap before October, we'll know early. I like where we're at.

On the contrary, I would say the ACC is not only on solid footing, but that their general more compelling image is expanding. Louisville has added additional Oomph to football with our current trajectory. The division we play in has 3 Top 15 teams, a National Champion and a National Runnerup and...

I hold out hope that UConn will eventually join the ACC. One has to like the media product, for one thing, in terms of your demographics and the NYC audience. For another, the schadenfreude of watching you guys deal with the ACC "blue bloods" would show a similar intrigue that we supply them...

Bwahahaha. I think you meant World's Shortest Giant, didn't you? :) You realize I do have standards, right? Thank you all for such a warm response. I've been watching you when I can. I really like Ollie, especially after that last run. You guys have etched a permanent spot in basketball...

Funny, one of the boards I visit the most is Kansas. It's an entertaining site with some fart smellers and now and then absoltutely riotous threads. Their Scout board has a Hall Of Fame for Photoshop stuff that has to be seen. Back to the point, watching their fans reactions has been a study in...

Anybody missed me?? :)

I think getting Juwan Durham was a big win on someone injured now and currently (sort of) under the radar. This guy is a great investment, imo. Ollie and UConn are still huge names in the sport. I miss you guys in conference. Louisville and UConn were a template on making one another better.

Trez will work on his midrange shot - he is close now. Gorgui Dieng's draft stock rose like a bullet when he showed his accuracy with the elbow jumper. His free throws are also a mess, having gone down rather than up in percentage. Trez has a 7' 4" wing span, works harder than anyone in...

Oh I don't know. I thought Peyton Siva handled UConn pretty good. :)

The Louisville game thread noticed - we spoke of it for a while, so reminiscent of Harrell's 4th foul with Randle slewing his hands out in mock flop smacking Trez and getting a foul call. Those guys used some of the most old fashioned dirty tricks in the game.

The whole "branding" argument is just straight-ahead broadcaster/talking head Voo doo. No one even knows what he's talking about in the first place, lol. Does UConn have a brand? I would respond with "Yes, it says "Trophy" right on top of it." Generating yards and miles of talk is what these...

Any time discussion about "the best teams ever" arises, certain teams share the light - Ohio State with Jerry Lucas, Larry Siegfried and John Havlichek won every tournament game by 19 or more. Say what you want about how ancient the USF NC's were, anyone who watched Bill Russel and KC Jones...

Joe Louis was 137 years old when he fought that white boy, Maricano.

The teams Wooden won his 2 first titles with, with 2 6 foot guards and no starter over 6' 5", great shooters, fast break basketball were the most fun teams to watch in basketball at the time. Goodrich and Hazzard were just awesome. Denny Crum was Wooden's assistant at the time and that's the...

I'm pitching UConn to the ACC. As a Louisville fan I feel like the epitome of the female perspective on marriage in old wive's tale slogan: "In marriage, a woman typically feels like she gains something while males typically worry that they're losing something." LOL, I always wanted more of the...

Have you ever seen a peach basket? Sometimes you could make a basket but the dam ball would just bounce right back out. 3 Fingers Yarmi was the guy who first dunked the basketball and they had to stop the game to run down to Herb's to get another peach basket after the dang thing splintered...

You lucky bastards. :)

Ha ha, that is so funny. I'd bend her over my.............oh, nevermind.

I call a toss up. It did not escape Louisville fans that your second half against us in the Final saw more success for you. And the poster who said Pitino tries never to take his foot off the pedal is right. He wants 100% effort, 100% of the time. To me, the real improvements came with your bigs.

Yeah, well, there is that, lol.

Thank you for that. The only persons who even give a dam about Blue Bloods are the self-appointed Blue Bloods. They would love for it to work to their advantage somehow in a world so based on entitled privilege. A look at the protections offered by the Media and the NCAA exemplify this fact -...

Just the other day he was bragging on how impervious they were to pressure because they were freshmen. Poor man has real narrative problems which is not surprising since they all come straight from his large ass.

Funny, this season, I've never felt so timely!!! (Just in a different language, lol)

Glad I didn't officially change my name. :D
