Louisville being investigated again

Notch8 said:
All of that and there is not a single human on earth would claim that the uconn athletic department is anywhere near as healthy as the UofL athletic department.
Your post serves only as an indictment on your own schools leadership.

I can only imagine, you're at graduation, beaming with pride, about to receive your degree from the University of Louisville. Your family in attendance and they call your name. You walk up to the stage, and the university president is there, big smile to greet you, and says "Congratulations on all your hard work here. Here is your diploma. Would you like it in single-ply or two-ply?" Of course you select two-ply, everyone knows Charmin is the best brand in the business.

This guy is right. The new AAC deal and our lack of pull in designing it proves what he’s saying. His views are accurate with his comment about leadership being the most powerful. We need to stop slinging mud at other schools, even if they are scum, and start demanding change at UConn. Is Tom Jurich looking for a job?

I hate the narrative that UConn is a victim. Nobody is restricting UConn from raising money for the athletic department. If we need more money, raise it. If our current leaders can’t do it, bring in new leaders. For the top 20 revenue athletic departments, the media contract is less than 20% of revenues. Sure, it’s important, but they prove there are opportunities available to increase revenues.

Actually not. The University of Louisville is considered a victim by the FBI in the case. The NCAA investigation is a formality. There was never an inelegible or disqualified on the team or competing. Bowen was only verbally committed for a very short time. Unlike other schools in the investigation none from UofL was not even indicted in the conspiracy.
This is a minor and long expected formality.
If you wish to make a wager on the outcome of this, I would be willing.

So what you're saying is, Louisville was playing 4D chess?
 
I'd rather die a slow death as a UConn fan than ever be a fan of an institution as scandal riddled as Louisvile. I think at some point in an adult's life principles are much more valuable than wins (whether they are stripped away or not). You may understand when you are older.

The school received no advantage from any of this. None of the players involved ever played for UofL. Those involved have long since been fired and this is just part of the NCAAs portion of the ongoing FBI investigation of shoe companies and recruits.
I understand how fans of a scorned minor program could be excited over this, but it is humorous how some get too far over their skis with misguided and wishful thinking that this is something more than what it is and to see the inevitable disappointment when reality doesnt meet your fantasy.

Carry on, lil fellows...

Thanks! Your post gave me my morning chuckle. Denial is the first stage.

Wait is Louisville in Tennessee or Kentucky? Doesn't matter, it's all the same.

Level of sadness depends on which side of the window you are on.
Just look at my wave as your team's fake fair catch and pretend you dont see it.
Haha..your football program will continue to soil itself publicly until the plug is mercifully pulled.
Think about that next time you gleefully wish harm to UofL...we are experiencing what you only dream about.

Louisville was up 11 points after the fair catch and then choked.

Which side of the window are you on? I’m pretty sure you are behind the drive through window at Taco Bell.

On the P5 side of window. The side that football programs dont shrivel up and die on.
The window UofL sees uconn through is about a 50 million dollar a year thick.

At some point, most people grow up and realize life isn't college football. You need to get a job, support a family and so on. Good luck with that loserville degree. ACC and all, you guys will always be inferior to UK in every respect. At least we got a real education and a real degree.

UL football was garbage not too long ago. Such a short memory. Petrino is gone now.

Hey, give "Notch" a break. It's not easy to master the art of coloring inside the lines. It takes talent and concentration. His degree from Northern Kentucky CC will pay dividends, just you wait and see.

Actually have 4 grandchildren and a degree from UK, but I will always be a Cardinal first.
Maybe when you drop football(we all know it's going to happen), the boneyard can replace the football forum with an academics forum.

Did you get lost, you friggin' hilljack?

My request was simple. I asked for extra ketchup with my fries, do your job.

4 > 2 !

Also, how about these numbers:

11 > 0...numbers of women's BB national championships, including wins over Loserville in 2009 and 2013 in the NC game, and;

22 > 2...total number of team NCAA championships won by UCONN and Loserville.

Also, the 1948 UCONN men's soccer national title, before soccer was sanctioned as an NCAA sport, so we're really at
23 > 2 and counting, but they aren't.

Anybody else get the disturbing image of Notch8 huddled over a keyboard with something dribbling down his leg?

Such a shame that an athletic department that successful go belly up financially.
You would think more people would care. Even our sorry Lady Cards outdraw the mighty lady huskys in attendance by a few thousand a night.
Uconn leadership really parlayed its successes into long term stability, didnt they?
Expand ...
I mean it could be worse right? I mean our coach could have knocked up a lunatic and then paid for to abort what he believed was his unborn child. That would be embarrassing. Then he could have paid for prostitutes for players and recruits. I mean that would be truly disgusting. Of course what would be worse is if the administration didn't fire him immediately. That would really highlight the institution as morally bankrupt. You know like a place that is so slimy that it would rip off it's local taxpayers for a arena deal so horribly one sided that borders on a RICO conviction. I mean the only thing worse than that is if our biggest supporter was a racist. I mean if things were that bad being investigated by the FBI for paying player would probably be a welcome relief from the more tawdry slime that immerses the program.

That is the kind of stuff of that would leave our fans so empty and self-loathing that all we'd have left is trolling other boards, which would be just pitiful. So while UConn didn't win the conference realignment lottery, things could be worse. Far worse actually.

(The irony here is that is just scratching the surface of Louisville scandals. I get why this guy would rather be here than on their boards. It's kind of sad.)

Yes, attendance is down because the AAC is a crappy league. But still....

Geno Auriemma Praises UConn Fan’s Dedication After Program’s 200th Sellout

Besides, UConn fans prefer to spend money on Regional Final and Final Four tickets. How’d Louisville enjoy the big UConn crowd in Albany?
 
Notch8 said:
Oh, it could be worse.
Our athletics department could just disappear.
Uconn is a modern day Sewanee or Centre college. Once nationally prominent athletic schools that shriveled up into obscurity.
Expand ...
Lol, so we are so obscure that that you keep coming here? Here's an observation for you, people don't troll what's beneath them. They troll what they envy. Have you noticed there are no UConn guys on your board? Just sayin.

I get it though. One night stands that result in your coach getting conned by lunatic into paying to abort his imagined child, paying for prostitutes, having your Natty stripped. I mean I'd try to get away from thinking about that as well. Like I've said, it's kind of sad.
 
Notch8 said:
For clarification, there are always multiple UofL threads on the boneyard. There are never Uconn threads on UofL forums except occasionally on the Women's Bball forum.
I already explained this is like visiting a hospice to see a former "associate" before they go. I would pay may respects, but I see too much bitterness, spite and jealousy here to allow me to do that.
Peace.

Uh huh, BY threads on the BY. Kind of different that going to another board to troll. Kind of seems like you are running away from something, no?
 
Notch8 said:
I remember as a kid my dad would make it a point to drive us through the poor neighborhood and explain to us to appreciate what we had and to motivate us to work harder.
It doesnt mean that I don't have empathy for your fanbase just like I did for those poor people that were less fortunate than me.
I don't intend to offend anyone, but I guess just like the presence of my Dads new Mercedes rolling down the street recieved the same reaction as I did appearing here.
I apologize.
Expand ...
Lol, feigning hurt is what phase 3 in the troll handbook? Really you aren't very good at this. If being a Louisville fan is so embarrassing for you, and I totally understand why it would be with truly breath taking scandals each one more incredibly humiliating than the last, perhaps it's time for you to find a team that you less shamed by?
