Who doesn't love good fiction?

Conspiracy Kitty says: Hmm, more bad press for Louisville. Remember UConn just sanding down the conference logo? Could the ACC's buyers' remorse finally grown to the point that changes maybe coming? Haven't heard anything from contacts in other schools. Could it be that a #gagorder is in place? Is this the reason that LBM wouldn't comment? I have a source that indicates there is a gag order is in play at UConn. Stay tuned.

I believe what the Kitty says. I was watching a show on alien abductions and they wear headgear like Kitty's to protect them from alien thought transference. Kitty is on the ball and protected from alien thoughts as well.

I thought the real slick rick may have died when I saw this thread. Relieved.

Should we all assume that in this statement "lay all his cards on the table," that cards = hookers?

 

[MilliniumPrince]

His middle name is Quick. Truth is his Confirmation name.

Digging down into the follow-on story on BPI pre-season rankings, UC not mentioned among the top-100. Wow.

"First of all, it was 20 seconds, not 15"

 

[huskyinfl]

I wish pitino had the guts to call it "the great adventures of slick Rick" Instead we are getting more art of story telling

 

[jleves]

Does he have to vacate his tattoo?

Former Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino intentionally failed to notify university officials that a former agent and Adidas executive were involved in the Cardinals' problematic recruitment of Brian Bowen, according to court records filed by the university athletic association's attorneys on Wednesday.

Bowen's family allegedly received $100,000 from Adidas for him to sign with the Cardinals in June 2017.

The school said Pitino also ignored red flags after hearing allegations that DePaul had offered Bowen $200,000 to play basketball there.

In the university's response to Pitino's July 11 motion for partial summary judgment in his lawsuit against the school, its attorneys argued that Pitino "engaged in misconduct when he intentionally ignored 'red flags' relating to Bowen's recruitment" and "intentionally hid information" about Adidas executive James Gatto and former agent Christian Dawkins' roles in his recruitment.

Man, I would have sat down, starry-eyed and said, "Uncle Ricky, tell me a story."

Trust me, I spent the next 4.5hrs in coach wishing I'd reacted or said something, much cooler. I'm white and was 40 yo when we almost became best friends so I consider it an honor I got to meet one of my childhood legends. Only thing I regret is not telling him how much he meant to a young me.

Does he have to vacate his tattoo?

I've been in the tattoo trade 44 years. He can come to me, I will cover his tattoo with something like what you see in my avatar. For twice what I normally charge.
