What do you think of it, genghis? K-rats says I think he's a slappy...Kratz you were trashing our program over on Craps Pause. What's up with that?...

Apparently the two of you are win at all costs homers.
Well, kratz rhymes with rats.
Another self righteous, judge mental hypocrite looking to gain favor on a rivals board. Hard to see anything else but a rat jumping ship trying to re-board now that he approves of TJ's statement. All aboard all rats....we hardly even missed ya!
I don't think it's crooked. We're not winning big enough, especially in BB, to be crooked.If you think this changes nothing, then it means you believe we run a crooked program and nothings going to change. Is that what you believe? Simple question.
Well I never knew you existed in any way that counts, so I guess we're even.
Me, I don't judge the program on what I want it to be, I merely enjoy it for what it is.
You have your vision of how things should be, and I have mine. Just win baby leaves open some potentially very bad back doors.
I want win, and win the right way. If that makes me wrong, so be it.
Not naive, just too hopeful I guess. With the microscope Petrino is and will continue to be under, I was hoping that UofL would be extra careful with football.
Yes, football is a very secretive sport, and they're always trying to gain an edge. But to use an old phrase there should still be honor among thieves. There are lines, and UofL crossed one with a coach and athletic department that's already under a lot of scrutiny.
Hell, the whole school is under scrutiny right now. No President, 2 different BOT's waiting for the courts to settle that one, audit of the other organization (name slips my mind at the moment) doesn't look good. Academic probation on the whole school right now. The list goes on.........
Totally agree on the integrity issue.I guess we can just agree to disagree on certain issues. I say how I feel, you say how you feel. Feelings are just another form of opinion.
Integrity has always mattered to me. It's part of my personality. Our integrity has taken some hits, that's undeniable. Agreed?
Full disclosure: I've never liked Pitino and I've let it be known on many occasions. However, I don't consider Sypher to be a "scandal" on him. Wow.... A rich famous guy sleeps with another woman. Never heard of that happening before, plus it happened in 2003. Sypher made it a scandal when she tried to blackmail him. She's in jail. She was the scandal on that one, just so happened to involve our coach who was preaching one lifestyle while living another. He owes everyone he ever kicked off the team for "breaking team rules" an apology.
Back to topic, I was beginning to wander there. With Sypher, then Pitino and the Dorms and now Wakeyleaks, our staff is looking bad. Nothing like Baylor, Penn State, etc but heading down that same path. Petrino is always going to be a lightning rod. There's no wiggle room there. Pitino is just about in the same boat. I don't think he would survive another scandal. He would "retire" the same way Denny did.
You talk about wining "big". I submit that we're better than Oklahoma as a sports program and look at the mess they're in right now. We're also better as a program than Baylor. Better all around program than Penn St. Better all around program than Tennessee or Miami as well. There's your true black hats of college athletics right now. Do they win bigger than us?
Miami and Penn State are in the process of pulling themselves out of the gutter, but they will carry that rep for a long time. It's going to take us awhile to pull ourselves out too, even though we never got in as deep as them.
Like I said in another post, the hardest thing to build and the easiest thing to destroy is your reputation. Football had 3 squeaky clean years under Petrino, but this one incident put him back in the Arkansas light. We knew the risks bringing him back on, and in doing so we have to do it better than everyone else to be viewed in a good light. Yeah, it's an uneven playing field, but we made the field uneven by hiring him. I was in favor of hiring him, and still want him to be here, but it comes with a price. You can't mess up because of his record. The man is a lightning rod and you have to work with that if you want him. We failed in this case. Petrino is probably completely innocent on this one. But bad decisions by other coaches and a bad press release by Jurich put us in this spot.
Jurich quickly made amends on his bad press release with a damn near perfect one a couple of days later. But those few days are going to stick with us for awhile.
And to top it off we're still waiting to hear from the NCAA on the Dorm scandal.
You can't keep doing this stupid stuff when you're already under the microscope.
Not sure why you are distinguishing a difference in regards to "how/when" plays are stolen.
You don't know what's crossing the line - you don't know where the line is.
