And went to our instate rival and got a Card tat plus underage hookers. Sorry they both suck.

Pitino's first stop post-UK was Boston. That's a meaningful related note. He didn't up and leave us for Louisville. He took the best college job available when he returned, at a program that most UK fans haven't taken seriously since the Bush Sr. administration.

And flipped off our fans at Rupp! Yeah what a great guy!
Yeah but I think with pitino it’s clear he wants to be liked by us and wants to be apart of the BBN now. Cal doesn’t want any relationship with us and was just here to be here.
Yeah, I still think he would've got it off with like .3 or so left.
Nonetheless, that's not why they lost. They lost because they gave up way too many points in the 2nd Half, and then couldn't buy a FT. If that SJs dude hit that FT, it would be in TOT at the worst.
Cal will want a relationship again, so will we. Just too soon. He did win a title. We're not gonna shun him away for eternity.
There are UK fans that will the to argue we were in better shape when Pitino took over than when Cal did. There’s no way those fans were alive in the 80’s. We nearly got the death penalty
I agree(hopefully) but cal is the most sturbborn person ever and will probably hold a grudge for a long time.
Stalin sends 5 million to the Gulag.
Mao oversees 50 million deaths.
Pitino flips off three fans at Rupp.
I don’t care what anyone says, I love Rick. His entire career arch is a fascinating combination of drama and comedy. Flipping off the fans at Rupp is exactly what a character such as him should be doing.
He’s the best character in college basketball. I really hope he’s able to take St. John’s to a Final Four and become the first coach to take four* schools there. It would be the cherry on top of everything he’s done.
I dislike one cuz the ash heap he left us in, the other because he is an ash heap himself.
Did it occur to you that I was using sarcasm to compare some fans and their overblown maniacal outrage regarding Pitino?
No? You're usually better at picking up the vibe, my friend.
Show the man some respect. Do you think a classy Catholic school such as St. John’s would hire a no morals ash heap?
Yes, well you were playing "Nearer My God To Thee" when Cal's Titanic finally went down. You were one of the last to leave the ship, my man.
What's that have to do with disliking Pitino still? lmaoYes, well you were playing "Nearer My God To Thee" when Cal's Titanic finally went down. You were one of the last to leave the ship, my man.
Everything.
It completely soils your reputation as a poster capable of making sound evaluations in these discussions. You supported Cal through 9-16, through St. Peter's, through Shaedon Sharpe, through the 2nd round loss, and even through Oakland until it became clear Cal was leaving.
Most of us never took Louisville seriously, so the outrage seems forced from some of you, and even weirder when it's clear so many of you supported Cal until the end but still nurse a grudge against Pitino 27 years later.
Up 18 in first half
Up 14 at half
Up 5 with 10 seconds to go
Lose
Up 14 at half

I mean , to me it just seems like yesterday that they beat us in the sec tournament , lol
Dude …he destroyed our bitter rivals program. Took more years than I’d have liked but …..what more can you ask for ?
So my thoughts on basketball cloud my judgement of a coach as a man, as an honorable person, as a guy I want to cheer for? Yeah, nope.
You and fans like you are basically the Sal Tessio of the fan base. You loved UK, but not enough. You were more loyal to Calipari than you were to BBN. Tragically, you essentially went against BBN once it became clear Cal was no longer fit for the job.
Just like Tessio, Cal's abandonment and attempted destruction of our program "screwed up all your arrangements."
You've attempted to seek clemency here, "for old time's sake", but you're still taking the long car ride out to the corn fields with some others who supported Cal through all of it.
Ultimately, you enabled Cal and went against the real family - Kentucky.
And here's a depiction of you, when finally you realized Cal was leaving us for Arkansas.
"I can't go either, Sal" was the response of BBN to fans like you. You're taking that car ride alone, ole chap.
The only person who enabled Cal was Barnhart. And then Barnie won the lottery by Cal breaching the terms of his contract. Otherwise most of this Hog team would still be wearing UK jerseys.You and fans like you are basically the Sal Tessio of the fan base. You loved UK, but not enough.

It’s not that deep. It was just a game tracking thread. Stated multiple times “can St John’s hold on…Scott Drew made adjustments let’s see what happens. Etc”
Most posters like to follow and chat about interesting games on here on Kentucky off nights. Especially when one team involved has played a team coming up on our schedule
Just saw the ending. UP 5 with less than 8 seconds and you lose. Dayum.
Just woke up and see Ricky P choked on the big one this game. Geez.
No one hates pitno anymore because for about 5 years he went bonkers trying to keep up with cal. hiring prostitues, paying players through adidas it was wild. he cost them a banner and Louisville crashed and burned for years. so he did betray us going there. But his jealously of cal led him to send UofL to the dumpster. its hard to hate him when in the end he destroyed em.
I still believe Gonzaga is a great team. Obviously Baylor is flawed in some way. They have talent but something is not right,.
