Much dumber than Rick thought..I think he was genuinely hurt by that.....What an awful question from a "friend". If Teri was a good friend they would already have had that question privately if it was a serious question. It sounds like babbling for lack of good questions but was certainly not supportive at this early juncture in the investigation.

Elaborate? I understand that your post got altered just wondering what you were referring to.

Sorry if the post subject needed clarifying...I am in Florida and thought all this has been rehashed already.... Meiners asking Rick 'are you going to resign?' or something to that effect. Rick said he wasnt sure why he would even ask him a question like that.

Thanks. I've never understood the popularity in my hometown of the goofy ass Terry Meiners so I'm probably a bad person to judge this situation.

All I can is that the only friend that Rick needs to worry about now is Tom Jurich and of course his family.

Friends like these, huh Rick?
 
FWIW, I thought that question right outta the gate was inappropriate and I'm not saying shouldn't have been discussed later. Pitino was not obligated to come on his show. Meiners could have let RP state some information and comment on the current situation before just dropping that hammer. They're relationship has not been what it once was for years now.

My concern was Vanetti's tone and how staunchly he came out the next day following that interview defending Meiners and calling out Pitino. He, Vanetti, even alluded to some "back channel" info. Throw in Eaves calling for Pitino's head, Meiners abrupt questioning and it makes me feel they are hearing something or know something. They certainly have the backing of their Management team, no way they piss into the wind like that on their own without it. Don't forget who WHAS broadcasts for, they have the ratings and outside of Louisville it's base is Blue. There are a whole lot of folks in this town and at that station who would like nothing more than a bigger white hot dumpster fire then we already have.

Go Cards!

Vanetti could be upset since UL basically dumped 790 and endorsed 680.

Nobody ever accused Terry of knowing what he is talking about. He is a radio personality, entertainer and a comedian. That's why he has a following.

It was completely inappropriate. Meiners is a closet sUcKs fan. By asking that question he gave credence to an unsubstantiated rumor.
 
I too have never understood Meiners' appeal. He quit being funny or relevant years ago. And, I've never understood the relationship between him and CRP but it sure did seem like an ambush question or as if he was trying to embarrass CRP. Hopefully, Rick cuts him off for good.

You have to understand that 840 and 790 both are Big Blew channels. Big Blew paid over $1M to get their message broadcast on these two channels. Did you really expect them to back Rick? Big Blew is paying them, yest partly to carry games, but to also pass on the Big Blew message. I am sure Terry and Tony are both being pressured to pile on UofL. They do what the dollars tell them. I for one am glad we aren't petty enough nor do we feel the need to shell out the money to have someone talk good about us and attack our rivals.
 
Terry and Rick's friendship took a big hit when we moved to the YUM center. You might recall Terry going ballistic on radio about his lousy seats at YUM center. He blasted the university for not having his free ride and very low level seating anymore. Well attacking UL is attacking Rick and Rick's stuck up for UL. Remember they used to do a TV show together too. So BB closet, he might have better seats at Rupp?

That no talent hack Meiners' seat ought to be next to the urinals in the men's room.
