I’ve never been an unabashed and unmoved blind supporter. My history is right there and I invite anyone to go read it. I criticize when it’s due and I took up for him when people were unreasonable. I still maintain that not EVERYTHING has been his fault over the years like many do. But at this stage there is very little to defend. I’ve always been fair.
Back in the day I knew someone pretty well that was on Pitinos staff . He went to Boston with Pitino. But during the 94 season I just casually mentioned to this guy about how much UK fans loved Pitino. I’ll never forget what he said because it shocked me. He said “If the fans knew what Pitino thought and said about them , they’d hate him” . I swear to God this is a true story.
Sarcasm.........ccc means every double talking word he says. He hates the fans
Actually I’d love for him to call us crazy right now. He only does that when we are winning
You hated Pitino while he was at UK?
I didn’t. I don’t care if he won. I didn’t like him as a person.
Rick was my guy until he went to UL.
Rick was part of an era of coaches I couldn’t stand..including Steve Spurrier and Phil Fulmer.
I think most people would be shocked if they knew what was said about them.
Hates the fans, hates the college game, and only cares about getting guys to the NBA over winning. ESPN also hates UK. All rational points.
He skipped the last postgame show and signing, but you keep on telling yourself those funny stories, brah.
Yeah right. You made excuse after excuse and you were wrong at every turn. Just own it. You can dish it out but you can't take it.
I was more generous than I should have been during the 9-16 season. It’s been downhill from there. I don’t make excuses for anyone and I call it like I see. The difference between me and most is that my emotions don’t rule me and I try to be reasonable. You can kiss my ass though none the less. I don’t care what anyone here thinks
Yeah it's obvious you don't care what anyone thinks. If you did, you wouldn't say so much dumb stuff.
What, he skipped the post game show??? Holy moly the nerve of this guy. All 14 people who listen must be livid.
Yeah, go ahead and try to minimize it.
Who cares about his personality traits? Pitino, Coach K, Self, Donovan....theyre all the same. The guy will tour the entire state with a championship trophy, raise millions for poor and Bowling Green tornado victims.....but please, for the love of God dont skip a post game show that nobody gives a chit about.
That exact attitude is why he’s terrible now. He never thinks anyone knows enough to tell him what he’s doing wrong. That’s why he keeps doing the same stuff and he is continually getting owned now. He won’t even try anything different because he knows best.
I don't give two shits about his personality traits as long as he wins games.
But again, think about it. And I'm not disagreeing with you... How would you react if you're successful in your own career and people from the outside, in completely different fields/industries, are telling you how to do your job? He does/has theoretically listened to those inside the basketball world, ie Coach Welch.
I understand it from a personal perspective. I also think that even if I was super successful in a field but started really underachieving that I would try and take some advice or see what areas I fell short in.
I hear ya! Again, not disagreeing. Cal himself said it's a ten year job. Looking more and more like his time has run its course. However, when it comes to this season... Think we still have a chance to right the ship if we can get healthy. I think Kansas has five losses now... UNC could have five losses by 9pm tonight... And that's the #3 and #4 teams currently. Long way to go, but let's just get back on the right side of life tonight and go from there.
Booger-buns hates the basketball program. Wishes he was born in big-ten country so he could root for the ohio state buckeyes.
I agree, we definitely can but now we have limited players who play and that will affect those who play 38 minutes a game. Just hope it doesn’t spiral into a 8 or 9 seed and 10 losses again.
Or you could, you know, mind your own business? He's a big boy. He starts a lot of shit. He can take it. If he can't, maybe he should stfu.
You wish you were living in the Confederacy chewing tobacco and living on a plantation.
