I don’t really blame Payne because I don’t think he wanted the job.

But Former players who knew him, his mentality, his personality, his ambitions, de facto FORCED him into the job. They KNEW him, and still pushed him into a position to fail

And to fail miserably.

Shame on them. In reality they were, and are not friends. To him or to UofL.

Any anger and hostility should be focused on that group.

Side note:
Karma is a bitch. I don’t know how much Jr is affected, but Wendy’s recently closed 700 franchises. That had to hit him somewhere.

I agree that less than 2% of athletes make it to the next level. Unfortunately I think there are quite a number of athletes choose a University based on their athletics and not academics. That is why you have so many transfers they want more playing time to prove themselves hoping to make it to the next level.

Some nice comments on here this evening. Someone stated that Syracuse wasn't playing much defense and I have to agree. But, the Card's offense puts pressure on you for 50 - 55 minutes! You're damn if you guard the 3's and damn if you don't. They'll drive on you,
shoot short jumpers or alley oops! Another, very good Team win. We're now to the '1 game at a time' from here on. Let's beat Virginia...
6 in a row - Let's Go Cards!!
