At the Football Game Saturday

[Knucklehank1]

I know things are a mess right now. At the game on Saturday it would be nice if maybe they could bring the basketball team captains onto the field so we as fans can let them know we love and support them. Guys like Q, Ray and Anas don't deserve this crap.

good point, and would be a great move!

Hope there’s more than 20K in the stands to clap if they do.

Guy on 93.9 just said that there's been talk of a boycott of the football game because Jurich was let go.

Bleh. Last time I checked it was the University of Louisville, not Jurich U.

Its hard to even deal with about football right now. I need to organize my tailgate and I can't even think clearly. I almost feel guilty, like my money and enthusiasm contributed and enabled this slimy cesspool.

Maybe so - you take a look at pictures of the campus before TJ and now and you tell me that his positive impact isn’t dramatically greater than any negatives.

Obviously that's the case. That being said, he wouldn't fire Pitino so that shows his judgement is too compromised to be an effective leader going forward.

 

[Cue Card]

Good points being made all around in this thread.

I respectfully (and vehemently) disagree. So because he was too loyal to one of the hundreds of employees under his supervision - that weighs more than all of the good he did?

Exactly and TJ's sin? Hitching his ropes to a great coach who had never had a hint of NCAA scandal who toward the end of his career lost control over his program.

Of course there have been other ADs washed away by the mistakes of a coach they hired but I can't think of any that accomplished what Jurich did here across the board.

Kind of like demolishing a beautiful house because of some bad plumbing.

Postel is Grissom’s bitch. He’s so desperate for the job. “How high do you want me to jump Mr. Grissom?”

I don't know about this man. He seems like he is trying to handle a horrific situation in the best way possible-he doesn't grandstand or play to the media. Things need to change. It is a bad business-he seems to be going about it the right way.

We already know he's a liar... The Papa unwittingly exposed him with the "invisible" remark that he repeated a half dozen times before the Good Doctor denied it.

And you don't have to prove everything he does is suspicious. All you have to prove is he's capable of that.

We've got us a real one...

Employment isn't always weighing good vs bad. Sometimes the bad just has to be bad enough to basically require dismissal.

Pitino mess aside. It sounds like our athletic department is getting ready to transition from the TomJurichU era to the asshat era.

Please refer back to my first sentence.
