The thing that's different about this is that the Boss has had weeks and weeks to work out some options going forward. This thing turned into certified trash after the Oct 13 BC game. There's been ample time to line up options and to vet candidates and to set up changeover financing. The Boss will have had a total of 7 weeks after the disaster was nearly certain to make his plans. That's plenty of time. It's ample time for a good businessman.

It happened early enough to allow the Boss's development of a comprehensive replacement list and a fully thought-out way-forward chart with options and paths. And a full financing plan. And full guidance from attorneys. And plenty of time to socialize the thinking for the decisions and paths forward with Board and President and Big Boosters.

There will have been 49 days from the time the need for a decision was clear.

That's ample time.

The student section is nearly full for tonight’s opener! Great job students!

Who is joining me at the Yum Center tonight to help usher in the Chris Mack era? No excuses as tickets are cheap. Work days are just better when there is an evening basketball game to look forward to and a new era to begin!

Is there anything Bobby can say to convince to give him another year or two to turn it around?

Breaking: Feds give NCAA go-ahead to begin investigations based off information in corruption criminal cases. With @PeteThamel and @DanWetzel

Today.

This is his pile of shit.
Make him coach the last 3 games.
Then fire him the very minute after the last game.

He said theyve been having good practices. At what, badminton.

Dont bail him out. He wants that 14 mill, earn it every damn minute

“The federal government has given the NCAA a nod of approval to begin looking into potential NCAA violations tied to certain schools implicated in the federal basketball investigation, according to multiple sources. This serves as the first step of what could be one of the broadest and most important investigations in the history of the NCAA’s enforcement division.”

Louisville, Kansas, and NCSt....

Check Zion Williamson's blood type; I'd bet the ranch it's the same as the Beast from Predator.

Mother of God that kid is scary.

Jarred Vanderbilt and Ashton Hagans are mentioned. Very interesting.

Why because all three are ranked in the Top 25.

Kentucky 11
Syracuse 13
North Carolina State 14

So I see us finishing 2-10.

I hope Tyra announces Louisville has parted ways with the Petrino Clan after the Kentucky game. And I am praying we get Jeff and Brian Brohm, plus Nicholas Holt as our defensive coordinator.

with Bobby & Vince stating “it’s over for 2.0”, he’ll finish the season, amicable parting of the ways, put on the “good face”, etc.

Then Vince needs to meet with the team and tell the players to allow him to bring in a new coach. At that time if a player still wants to leave, then so be it. But Vince needs to sell not having to sit out and start over positives to the kids.

I know there are few of any NBA fans on here but I invested $200 just to watch Donovan’s games. The Jazz were celebrating their 40th anniversary in Utah last night and had many dignitaries in the House including Dr. Dunkenstein! And Donovan has a highlight reel slam dunk over rookie sensation Luka Doncic. Very very enjoyable sports viewing.

Duke is humiliating the Cayuts.

Not surprising that Cayul’s Cayuts are undercoached.

Malik or Puma - who would you start Friday?

Great time in Bowling Green last night watching the Cards take WKU by 22. The big guy and his merry band of pranksters have a huge recap over at the CC site, "board" at your own risk. Jared and Paulie can get "wordy".

My five takeaways::

1) ON "THAT GIRL". Yes, Ms. Durr is an eighth wonder of the world. When the WKU players were asked about A.D. post-game, they just kind of shrugged their shoulders and said words to the effect of 'we couldn't find her or stop her'.. (Maybe she's added a cloaking device to her other many talents?)

2) Let THREE-DOM Ring. Asia's seven trifectas were so effortless. Arica Carter, who did not start but played 19 minutes with reckless abandon added four. Kylee and red-shirt freshman Lindsey Duvall cashed in on a couple as well. Stuff coming from the sky that rivaled the eclipse that rolled through Bowling Green a bit back.

3) They got a good one. Watch Alexis Brewer the rest of the year for the Toppers. Her 22 pts. included 12-16 free throws. This transfer-in from WVU has faced the Baylor's and Texas's of women's college basketball. Imagine what she'll do to Conference USA.

4) If you got 'em, play ,em. Walz did. All 12 that made the trip saw at least four minutes of action (Jess Laemmle) to 26 minutes (Jaz Jones). A good chance to see how the newcomers would fare and try different combos. And Walz did. I think the only one he didn't put on the court was... me, Paulie, Sam Purcell, Big Red and Nick Curran.

5) Replacing Myisha minutes. It looks like Yacine Diop garnered the most of those and she turned in a Myisha-like double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. How that might change down the road is anyone's guess, but it's now perfectly clear why Walz wanted her for just one year..

The big rumor is that Malik Cunningham is expect to announce a transfer.

If this happens, UL will have one scholarship QB.

The bleeding continues.

This season is a complete "bust", so I'm thinking about 2019 already.

Here's next season's schedule. Anyone wanna take a crack at guessing the team's final W/L record? With Petrino, Brohm or Mr X as Head Coach? Note there are 3 games already scheduled in September and it would not be surprising if 2 more September games were added, making for 5 total in September.

The 5 true AWAY games are all in Florida (Tallahassee & Miami Gardens) and North Carolina (Raleigh & Winston-Salem) and Kentucky (Lexington).

The WKU game on Sept 14 is effectively a Neutral game in Tennessee (Nashville).

So 8 games are easy to get to.

Louisville will play 10 P5 games plus one G5 game and one FCS game.

This will be the second-ever contest with Notre Dame and the first-ever played in Louisville.

Louisville will play in zero Northern-venue games.

9/2 vs Notre Dame (Monday)
9/7 vs Eastern Kentucky
vs Boston College
vs Clemson
vs Syracuse
vs Virginia
9/14 Western Kentucky (@ Nashville)
@ Florida State
@ NC State
@ Wake Forest
@ Miami (Fla)
11/30 @ Kentucky

The games which should produce a reasonable fan "draw" are Notre Dame, EKU and Clemson. There should be considerable single-game or 3-game-package interest in the Notre Dame game. Their fans alone will probably buy up to 15,000 or more tickets. EKU fans will buy a decent number of tickets as well. I imagine the ticket pricing will be innovative.

A lot of Louisville fans will travel to Nashville for the WKU game. Some might even be interested in the game.

The early and late signing dates as well as impact of further player defections will dominate the interest early-on of any staff that stays or takes over.

Just woke up and checked in ESPN. Number 2 team my f ing ass!

Coach K >>>>>>than Cal all day every day

I'll keep this as a somewhat routine thing so you all have an opportunity to ask any questions you have. Feel free to send me any question, whether it is football, basketball, recruiting, or whatever topic you have in mind and I'll do my best to answer!

Although it was stated that not at all have submitted. If he stays we realistically could have about a 75 man roster next year.......guess you don't have to worry about two guys wearing the same numbers!

After the 56-24 loss to Syracuse, Tyra HAS to make the decision. Let him coach the last two blowouts and lets move on. The spiral is getting worse!

Cowboys seem to being eyeing Riley as next coach. If this happens Brohm probably will be Oklahomas #1 target and Louisville will not have a chance if it comes down between the two schools. Brohm would be a fool not to take that gig. So in a nut shell who are you wanting realisticaly if Jeff falls through.?

Starting to really wonder......WHY do these UofL players all of a sudden want to transfer/decommit from Louisville. Is it because they cant handle being on a losing team. or is there something going on with the players and coaching staff.

According to Ty Yates who is pretty active on UofL matters on twitter is saying that Malik Cunningham is leaving.
