Pitino at BBM

[BigBlue1992]

Is the special someone Calipari or the U of L fan base?

Im just saying I hope any true UK fan is thankful for the memories several of our coaches have brought us. No other school has that coaching tree except for us.

Pitino has another job. Cal has another job. Pope is here. The drama that has come out of UK athletics the last several years has been exhausting and it’s time for it to go away.

He was never about UK, or Boston, or Louisville, or any other places he's coached. His spots are all about what he can do for himself.

You mean like ccc

bring him back
it is time

Bring him back to do what, exactly?

You mean like ccc

Kind of. Pitino's ego drove him to leave UK too early, and Cal's ego drove him to stay at UK too long.

 

[Mozes-Prince22]

Then are his spots what he did for us while here or what he did while at UL? One of those were changed at some point.

I mean if you want to twist it that way, be my guest. You show know what “spots” mean & it’s not coaching ability. & if you don’t know that, then I can’t help you.

 

[Mozes-Prince22]

They’re both his spots. He just didn’t stay here long enough to do to us what he did the UL. He’s always lived in the grey area and it finally caught up to him.

Exactly. A selfish liar now trying to get back in good graces. Fck that.

I think what attracted Pitino to UK was the challenge of raising the program from the dead, and to see how quickly he could do it. I think he thought he could rebuild Boston.

Hard to blame rp going to Boston as coach and gm.
Boston is like uk but on the pro level

YawnExactly. A selfish liar now trying to get back in good graces. Fck that.

Just confirmed he will be at the football game on Saturday, this indicates he will also be at BBM.

I hope that the BBM gives coach Pitino a rousing standing ovation. He's had nothing but positive things to say about UK since the hiring of Mark Pope. I can't imagine that any coach in the history of athletics is living with the regrets that Pitino is living with. Him knowing that if he would have stayed here that he would have 5/6/ maybe 7 national championships & over 1,200 wins. He would be to college basketball what Nick Saban is to college football. I've forgiven him for taking the Louisville job. I hope everyone else can as well.

Probably has a horse entered at Keeneland. But it would be cool if he showed at BBM.

 

[Dreklie]

If he's at BBM I'm cheering and IDGAF who don't like it. I love Pitino.

 

[Deli owl]

Who considers Louisville fans UK's arch nemesis besides the small portion of hyper-emotional UK fans who don't know how to navigate the memories of the school bully who tormented them while wearing a Louisville shirt? It's always been UK vs. the world. Louisville is just the city college that got in the way a few times 40 years ago.

Not sure what to tell you if you don’t think they are UKs main rival. Maybe it’s Baylor….

I’m damn sure UK doesn’t need skeletor as a fan who wants to hang on when he ditched us.

 

[Mozes-Prince22]

Some of you really think a 72 year old man who has shit on multiple universities wouldn’t do it again given the chance? And you want to welcome the guy back who gave the fans the middle finger (literally), left for a rival, couldn’t tell the truth to save his life, etc?

Hope you give your wives that much grace.

 

[specialkd24]

I don't think he will be at BBM. He is a current Division I head coach., that is just weird. If he was retired, I could see it.

Maybe General Manager someday? Who knows, but he has a great basketball mind for Coach Pope to talk with for advice occasionally.
