No since you give a crap you call the radio station to tell them they're wrong and secondly, I just thought you couldn't add like other UK fans.
Pitino Lite says "bring on the NBA!"...

Wasn't talking about a family member. I am talking about a person I know who is unable to read or write. He is in his 50's and is illiterate. His wardrobe is UofK t-shirts and UofK sweatshirts. Blue jeans for pants. White or blue socks. White or blue tennis shoes. No joke.
No doubt but it was his choice. He is now drawing a full disability paycheck from the Federal Government. Sits at home drinking beer, watching TV. Waits for his Cats to come on TV, He finds out when they play by watching local TV. He can't read so obviously he doesn't understand the internet. I feel sorry for him sometimes then I remind myself he's just a bum who chose to be like that. He has plenty of chances to better himself. He didn't want to.
Fair enough.
Yeah, I didn't like the comment Cal said during thst first draft night at all.
But all coaches, including Pitino, say and do things that fans don't agree with and if that's the worst thing Cal does as head man of UK basketball , I will be happy.

Not by a long shot. The building is getting more run down with time, I guess waiting for some kind of salvation. And it's a perfectly good facility if put to some good use. I hope it is saved.
It's just that I can't envision the NBA even considering Louisville without playing downtown. And not playing downtown does nothing to placate the downtown power brokers or address Bailout Arena's serious financial problems. My perception is that the City of Louisville couldn't care less about Freedom Hall or the Fairgrounds.
If there's a shred of truth--which I doubt--to the conversation in the podcast, it could ultimately pit the City against the State of Kentucky since the Fairgrounds are managed by the State. Frankfort would love nothing better than more revenue from the Fairgrounds since it was abandoned by U of L athletics. Again, it's just hard to envision that.

You're guilty of the superficial analysis most slappies do here... Criticism of things related to LPT is a means to an end. I don't really hate those "things". Most of your coaches and players, for example, are not an issue for me. They tend to be overrated, a little or a lot, by a delusional fanbase. That fanbase is always my focus, not the other LPT stuff.
I don't believe Pitino Lite is a good Xs and Os coach, and I'm in the vast majority on that--even among your own fans. To deny he can recruit is to deny facts, which is generally not something I do even as a means to an end. I'm also not one to live in a glass house and allege recruiting improprieties, cheating, payoffs, etc. I think it's very possible that Lite sells 18-year old kids on a simple message that has little to do with LPT and college basketball, the lure of the NBA. As long as you're OK subjecting your elite program to that kinda of secondary status...
Which makes Lite the perfect coach for LPT since LPT fans are more consumed with recruiting than just about anyone I've witnessed. No chance he'd be successful among U of L fans with a message that the NBA Draft is the biggest day in program history. Sometimes amazes me what LPT fans will tolerate to win in basketball.
"Elite program," my a$$...
That's true. Coach Pitino has said plenty of stuff over the course of his college career which has irked the crap out of me. I'm a UofL fan first. I really don't care who the coach is but I would have to seriously consider burning every single piece of UofL garb I own (and I own a lot) if Calipari ever became the UofL head basketball coach. I despise him as a person and his coaching abilities don't even begin the make up the difference. At least I know Pitino can coach with the best of them. Calipari is just a self promoter AKA salesman IMO. Nothing more.
I didn't want it in Louisville, don't want it in Louisville and will not want it in Louisville. I wouldn't attend a single game unless I obtained free tickets and nothing else was going on that day. I quit being an NBA fan about 10-15 years ago when the NBA started becoming a direct pipeline to terribly inexperienced kids who get paid way too much. It's watered down with bad defense and some really poor fundamentals traded for athletic ability. Debate that all you want but personally I will stick to being a UofL fan. Send it up north or to the east and keep it there.
LOL, okay, but let me ask you this. Don't you think that one if the drawbacks with playing freshmen is the complicated nature if it all st this level?
He brings it on himself, but you really can't make it too overly complicated for these young teams. Especially given the limited Practice time allotted .
Heck, just trying to get these kids to execute a simple inbounds play is tough, he's forced to just keep it simple. Whereas veteran teams have been cultivating their style and plays for years.
I know these kids are future pros, but they were playing hs ball last year. I know you guys want to say these kids are NBA players, but they're not, they're top freshmen with really high ceilings. They aren't pros right now.
However, I will not disagree with you on the X's and O's thing. I refuse to say Cal is upper tier in that arena, I think he's an A+ recruiter and he's top notch when it comes to motivation and managing young egos.
I'm fairly sure Steve isn't registered to vote. He had to hire an Attorney just to get full disability after falling off a ladder and breaking his ankle while working for a construction company for 2 weeks. He also made the claim it screwed up his back and neck. Weird how it doesn't seem to hamper his ability to hunt and fish though.
I though after last night most of the Liberals still crying about the election results would have finally shut the hell up. President Trump isn't going anywhere unless he stops breathing. I guess you can hold on to that hope.
Hey it hasn't hurt me at all - stock market is soaring, I still have a great job, life is great.
BTW I did post that before reading the transcript of his speech last night (didn't watch it,) and I will say that it was a 180 from the inaugural speech. Kudos to him for the unifying words. We could all use a little more of that.
He's not my favorite person on this earth by a damn long shot John, but he is OUR President. I pray he succeeds just like I prayed for President Obama and all the other Presidents during my adult life. The division in this country needs to stop. In general, the people are tired of it. I know I am. WE the PEOPLE need to unite as a country. I welcome law abiding immigrants to our country with open arms. Our country is based on that very ideology. You want to be free? Come join us to be LIKE US. If your agenda is anything other than that or if you decide to break our sovereign laws to back door the privilege of being in this country then you have to go. Nobody is against immigration. We all should be against ILLEGAL immigration. There is a freaking HUGE difference.
OK - Off my soap box. Thanks for letting me vent.
