Rupp Arena Will Treat ESCORTino Royally Saturday

[SosaUK]

Nope, never read it.

Apparently.

I'm almost embarrassed to associate Rick Pitino with UK. The man has become a shell of what he


I still don't buy he's legit. His posts are way too similar to Billy Bones who disappeared around here about the time this guy showed up. His post style is the same too.

I agree with you about the Billy Bones, 2Adulterers comparison, but the way he rips Pitino & UofL up one side & down the other, he's alright in my eyes. I don't care what name he uses.

In my opinion, he's not that man anymore; either as coach or a person.
And no, with all due respect, I have to disagree with you. He will not always be one of us - he never WAS one of us, by his own choice. He held himself apart, and never truly embraced the BBN. And his actions when he came back to the state only proved he thought he was bigger than the program, and better than the residents of this state.

Honest question here.....Do you think John Calipari has embraced the BBN? Do you think he's "one of us"? Jmho but I think Joe B was the last one you could say that about.

I can respect that question, and the thought, actually.
I think Cal has embraced the concept, if not the reality - if that makes sense? At least, I never get the impression that he thinks we are less than he is because we are Kentuckians.

I know he definitely appreciates the BBN. Not so sure Lexington would be the place he retires to. I could be wrong.

Can't argue that at all.

Pitino was good for UK when we were in the dumps. I still like to beat him though

 

[Woodrow_Call_1998]

How the hell can anyone say that Rick Pitino is one of us?! I'll agree with appreciating what he did in the past. Look at the present, the man is coaching our biggest rival and has the logo of their damn team tattooed on him. He's a dirty Card and always will be.

We should take down and disown the banner Rick has won also according to some. Maybe we should claim seven titles.

Mods, this is RuppsRevenge new username. Thanks for finally banning him, but he's gonna keep coming back, unless you ban his IP address.

The man who traded the penthouse for the outhouse will find some creative signs when he returns to Camelot.

None more creative than the banner that hangs eternal in UK's home arena.

I hope not. I'm still of the opinion that that man pulled Kentucky out of the darkest era it had ever been in. I'm old enough to remember where we were at that point, how we got there and just exactly what that man did to make Kentucky what it is today. I am unimaginably grateful for it, too.

While I disagree with most of his behaviors at Louisville, I'll never forget what he did at Kentucky. No matter what he has done there, he certainly doesn't deserve roasting at Rupp Arena of all places. I understand why you feel that way though. Just remember, Coach Pitino will ALWAYS be one of us.

He also had the opportunity to take the Michigan job after Boston, yet he chose Skank U. Yes, he brought us out of a bad time...but he never cared about us, he actually looked down on fans for not being in his stratosphere. And nothing has changed...Rick only cares about Rick.

Pitino is a good coach facts speaks for themselves, but he use Ky as a stepping stone to help himself he sold us out for big bucks, the guy is all about himself, he was make to be a card...

This is a very interesting thread to me as a UL fan because I tried to imagine how it would feel to have a beloved coach come back and take over for a bitter rival. So I considered Denny Crum leaving for the pros and coming back to coach UK. I think it would hurt me in my heart. I would always respect him, but I could never get my mind around cheering for him. And it would be a source of perpetual pain because in the Louisville market I would hear about it all the time. I think I would be like most of you all and just deaden my emotions and move on. Sometimes thats all you can do with bad things in your life. Its about survival sometimes. But I certainly understand the hatred. I also dont imagine Pitino will retire in Louisville. Its a job, he is paid really well, and will spend his retirement in Miami or New York. He never was a Kentuckian.
I guess the best thing you can take from it is that the state of Kentucky is the best place for college basketball, attracts the best coaches, and hopefully always will be.

There is no one here who has not made a mistake. Some may have done worse that Rick Pitino has done. Peter denied ever knowing Jesus three times and still Jesus forgave him. The true upstanding man or women should learn to forgive and forget. Not kick a man when he is down or throw him under a bus. God bless and Merry Christmas.

Literally no one has said that, moron.

The scumbag Pitino's personal banner? Yes.

Nope, jedwar sent me a message that he hadn't. Maybe it's TTCat's new username.

Mods here aren't very good at sniffing out trolls.

They should deputize you and me and let us clear them out. They're so easy to spot.
