I don't think Eric Crawford is a bad guy, and his work is pretty good. With this said, I'm not sure how he expects to be viewed as objective when it comes to this whole mess.

Bonzo did ask a great question on twitter dot com tho. At what point do the adults who support UL stand up and say "enough", and drain the swamp on 3rd street?

This scandal
Hiring Petrino
Ramsey's crooked pay scheme
All the embezzlement cases that have come to light
Seems like a dozen firings of executives who leave after signing confidentiality agreements
Power mad AD who at this point only wants to set up a comfortable transition of his crown to his boy
 
-Eaves was pretty honest. Said it's obvious that at minimum some portion of it was true, that they'd have a very difficult time recruiting over the next 2 years and it's going to be very trying time. Talked about when he was brought on under DC to clean up that mess in the 90's. Of course they had to talk about LAMAR for 30 minutes first.

-Consistency at Starbucks is killing me. Morning coffee was on point but it goes from perfect to worthless every other day. Shouldn't be hard to make a quad espresso. Wish Cup of Commonwealth wasn't out of the way OR we had a Heine.

-Stoops has to address the damn swings. We go from playing lights out to slubs in a blink. I guess it's the immaturity of playing so many young guys but man. Dropping that EKU game... I don't know if it kills everything they've done but it certainly could've turned a lot of positive momentum sideways.

-PERFECT timing for an off weekend. Work Saturday. Clean up the diet. Get some rest.

-[laughing] @ BBdk and Tyler vying for the DA award. I'll let them tell it but in short BBdk will likely need to move seats and I doubt Tyler is welcome back to the DrX/TMFH seats. Walked in my guest room at 12:15 to BBdk throwing shit all over the place I assume trying to get in the bed. I'm like, "whats up Wodie, you're not staying here tonight bud you're down the road at AKs." **Mumbles something unintelligible**

-Boom was back to super teammate. Hope he got that shit out of his system.

-[roll]@Mark Richt. Loser. Congrats on your top 15ish average team with top 3-4 average talent. Killing it.

Well, I don't think most fans know about the financial/yum/confidentiality stuff. Or care that Jurich has that media under his thumb. They do care about the Pitino/Petrino stuff but they've stomached it.

However, I do think if someone blows the doors off or this is confirmed you will see some pretty harsh backlash. I've seen a lot already on FB.
 
Also nice of the C-J to basically give her address out this morning in their main article on the subject. It is public knowledge and all, but seems a bit irresponsible to advertise it for all to see. On a side note it is a street I drive through about once a week, definitely a good area for $100 hookers to make a living.
 
the thing is they (UL fan, alums) only care about being better than UK. Everyone looks he other way as long as they are winning.
There has to be a breaking point with this, though, doesn't there? I would be absolutely fed up with this crap if it were happening at UK. When the first thing that comes to mind when your school is mentioned is "sex scandal," and there are multiple ones to choose from, something has gone horribly wrong.

-My in game situation had nothing to do with me being drunk...was actually pretty cool again all day. Crazy dude was finally a jerk to my wife (before I arrived to my seat), and she's hated him since day one. Went on a fireball rampage in the 1Q to work up the courage/redass, which I did, and finally got in his face, called him a TOUCHBOY bitch (exact quote), and told him to STFU. It just got worse from there, until wife was about to have a nervous breakdown and made us leave at halftime...pretty much shot-gunned beers & remaining fireball on your back deck for the 2nd half -- it was a weird night.

-Game was awful, but the comeback was pretty awesome and pretty damn huge. Yeah, it's EKU, but it was much better than losing...everything we'd built up until that point would have essentially been erased. 21 straight points to close. Whew.

...very much looking forward an an off-weak, I know that much. 4 home night games & Vegas over the last 5 weekends ----> Haven't spent Saturday night/Sunday morning in my own bed since August 29th. [laughing]:weary: #spent

-Loved Boom's dad being all about "I do this for the Fans, just trying to help out the team any way I can" ...until your son is benched. K.

-KSR of the decade, T-1 hour.
 
Unbelievable. The talking points are in. This is clearly more of a story on how wack this whore is and how to discredit her.

To be fair, that's not just a UL issue. That's any program or franchise. Win and we'll turn a blind eye. I mean a large portion of our fan base wanted to hire Petrino.

However, the combination of all these things is really unbelievable. Most of them openly admitted they accepted BOBBY back because they wanted to win.
 
Saturday was fun, good grief what an almost dumpster fire. Guess we can take from it this team will fight to the end...

CJ Johnson with 19 tackles:flushed: Guess he still poops a lot.

Watching the end of the game with Adrian and Tyler on the deck was awesome. Those two were fired up. Maybe a real future as a tandem white rap act.

For the record, Sloot was incredibly nice post game. Even was popping bottles.

So we make it back to my place after an incredibly weird uber ride. Something in a dress that sounded like a man was riding shotgun...never saw its face. Just strange conversations, was uncomfortable. Thought we were about to get into some Twilight Zone stuff. Ritchie and I bolted out with a quickness.

Lass had some pizza waiting for us, was a game saver. Had a few more collides, catching up on sportscenter. Richie just stands up, doesn't say a word, and walks out the room. Figure he was going to the bathroom. Few minutes later hear this thud from upstairs. Bout 30 minutes later we decide he's not coming back down. Good times.

Spent the weekend in Owensboro at my wife's grandmother's ("Nana") funeral. Was asked to be a pallbearer. On the way to the cemetery, the limo driver brings up the U of L scandal from dead silence and asks if we'd heard about it. We all mention we had, and he asked what we thought. I told him that if it all ends up being true, I think the university needs to clean house from the coach on down.

The guy got all defensive and started talking about Calipari, and I said, "This has nothing to do with UK or Calipari. This is 3 sex scandals tied to YOUR school. Pitino could've handled about any other scandal put in front of him, but not another sex scandal. He has no high road on this deal. He's part of the problem. He's got to go."

Nana would've been proud.
 
Crawford is on 980 in Louisville. Toeing the line but saying he does think the truth will be exposed pretty quickly. Elliott isn't holding back. Will be back after the commercial.

Never, obviously. Trash fan base with a trash AD, and two trash head coaches running trash programs. Looks like they are gonna go the "Nope. Didn't happen" route, and completely stonewall. Which will hopefully be their undoing. She appears to have the goods.
 
Post-Weekend Shorts:

- [laughing] What did the dude do, BBdK? I want more info. Also love your affection for the term F-boy. Have known you for 13 years now and I don't think I've ever seen you love something more than that term...and I'm including MKG, LaBamba and your wife.

- So, couldn't watch any of the game which sounds like a good thing. Barker get any run?

- Wedding was a great time. Definitely fit those two weirdos. Washington Park. Eli's BBQ. Holtman's donuts. Just a lot of fun. Of course, I got shit-housed.

- WHO DEY bitches. 4-0 and 4-0 against the spread as well. Just kicking teef in.

- CFB [laughing] WTF is going on this year?

- Good job, good effort, Texas. Does Strong make it to Year 3? Amazes me the kid gloves the media uses with Strong. Must be a good guy because no one questions the hire. So, Chip Kelly to Austin in '16?

- Add Starbucks to Anth's service complaints.o_O

- It is difficult to come up with a hotter babe than "Can't Hardly Wait" era Jennifer Love Hewitt. Absolute smoke.
 
Actually the service is consistent. Got a great group at my Starbucks, really nice peeps. The product is just hit or miss.

Now the group at your Starbucks, whoa. They were the talk of our meetings. Everyone that went over to get a drink was like, "what's going on with that girl behind the counter?"
 
First I heard but Deener says she doesn't have any of the text messages any more because of a phone virus. That does seem fishy...if accurate.

If he said that, then he's lying. She did lose some of the old text messages, but all the ones they reproduced in the book, she still has.
 
- Strong will get one more year because the new AD probably won't be in place until January or later. He certainly isn't being treated with kid gloves down here.

- @B.B.d.K. - what did/does that guy do to become a touchboy bitch?
 
Got a freebie the other day from Buck's because at the end of my dark roast coffee there was a shit ton of grinded coffee beans i had to spit out on my desk. Took a picture and made sure my next one was free.

-Antonio Blakeney may very well be the key to this whole thing. If the NCAA holds eligibility over his head, no way the kid's gonna want to hurt his current school, so he'll spill it.

-Still don't think anything really comes of this, unless key boosters(and a lot of them) just force Jurich's hand. Which will not happen.

-Wife and daughters decided last night to go on a last-minute trip to Disney World for Fall Break. Home alone all week for Dad. :sunglasses:

-Andy Beshear? Or Andy OBAMA?

-Steam picking up on Marques Bolden, it seems. So your frontcourt would be Gabriel/Matthews at the 3, SKJ/Kiwi at the 4, and Ike/Bolden at the 5. Lot of pieces to work with, especially with what's gonna be a :cool2: backcourt.

Glad I passed up that shit-show and sat with my buddies in Sec 9.

Think I heard BBdK yell out TOUCHBOY about 50 times in the 10 minutes I was on Anth's back deck postgame. K, bruh. Must have been a colorful exchange w/ the ppl Harris' seats!
 
-I think Blakeney will be the key. He's not really a 1 and done sure fire 1st rounder so he needs to play. They have hard evidence on him. If they can get him going then others might have to talk. His contact to McGee is going to be interesting.

-I don't think UL will play the denial game. I think their report will show they had a rogue staffer and admit to the portion that is really obvious. Hope that nothing else comes out and the NCAA gives them something like Syracuse which is bad but not debilitating. That has already started. That dude on KSR that broke down classic crisis management breaks all that down.
 
On a family vacation and my cousin's husband is a UofL grad. Was an equipment manager at the end of the Crum era. On the drive down she buys the book and reads it to him out loud despite his protests. She then makes him stop the car and take off their Louisville license plate. :clap: Not sure the females are going to let this blow over.

Back to :eyes:

Well, yeah, they are that.

But what about all the local corporations and/or bigshots who have given all that money and now have their faces & names on Jurich's spending sprees? the Papa Johns, the Taggerts, the Fraziers? Not to mention all the local businesses who have ponied up for luxury boxes. It isnt a big leap for those people to see themselves having microphones stuck in their grill and being asked if they knew about heurs for underage recruits. Not the kind of thing successful folks want to be associated with and tarnishing their companies & personal reputation.
 
- Had a blast on Saturday.

Major props to Doc Bob for the hospitality & letting me stay at his new pad. Place is dope and his lass was clutch with that late night pizza.

- The Extrav was great as always. Thank you, JaimeAnthony. That smoked chili was unreal.

- Grew more and more frustrated with that game. The team's body language was piss poor the entire game up until the end. We were out there just cruising along and EKU was jacked up.

Sat in my seats in the 1st half and then moved over to Doc Bob's seats for the 2nd. Got really nervous & frustrated and left when EKU went ahead. Thoughts of how devastating of a loss that would be to all the goodwill Stoops had created.

Walked back to the Schem's & watched the comeback on their deck with Wodie, Mrs. Wodie, Jaime, Doc, & Dingle. That was fun. SHEW. At the end dropped a few celebratory Snoop verses with Wodie.
 
Crawford with this bit from the book:

"The most damning screen-shot evidence comes in Powell’s allegation that McGee hired Powell to provide escorts to see recruit Antonio Blakeney and a man who claimed to be a relative at an Embassy Suites hotel off Hurstbourne Parkway in Louisville. This includes a phone screen shot of McGee texting the address of the hotel. McGee, the book alleges, was in California at the time, and wired money to one of the women via a Walmart money transfer. A copy of the receipt is included in the book."
 
-Still don't think anything really comes of this, unless key boosters(and a lot of them) just force Jurich's hand. Which will not happen.

-Andy Beshear? Or Andy OBAMA?

-False. It may not live up to our expectations but something will happen. If they don't get at least what Syracuse or SMU got then it will be ridiculous.

-[laughing] I hate political ads but that one cracks me up. In a time where associating Dems to BO is the best play the just went all, "let's just change his last name to Obama and roll with that." Crazy thing is, it kind of sticks. Granted Beshear should win easily.
