Pitino's plan...
- hate UofL
- stops Richard from taking job
- praises Uk, Camelot
- has name flirted for job, BBN doesn't revolt, some begged for it
- publicly backs Pope
- Pope invites RP back, maybe play St John's?
Rick ends career in good graces, beloved by BBN. Master.
Louisville and Indy friends...
My wife is being induced about 5 weeks early due to rising blood pressure. We just found out about an hour ago. To say our heads are spinning would be an understatement. It's going to be a long haul. We would appreciate any positive thoughts.
Just unbelievable Louisville is in the ACC championship game. They got Cincy to take their bum coach, Brohm hit the portal, easiest schedule possible, solid play, good coaching in winning close games, and good situational football. Quite the story.
Greenard on UK/Florida game...
“2018 I sat out so I watched the guys lose and it hurt me a lot...i had all that built up...I did it for my boys back at Louisville...as you can see at the end of the game I was giving the chomp and throwing up the L’s at the same time...”
Congrats to Louisville fans. Been a bad few years and even worse 6 months, but the last 2 days have been magnificent. They nailed the AD and men's basketball hires. Better times ahead.
Forde on Sean Miller on
@ESPN680
... "There was nothing in the documents we reviewed that implicated Sean Miller.....do we have anything specifically in those documents that said Sean Miller was involved, no."
Louisville decided to stop going cheap and start playing big boy football. About time. Good for the fans and good for the Brohm family that they get this homecoming.
We’ll be on at 3pm!
@ESPN680
The transfer portal & allowing players to transfer w/o sitting 1 yr has already created chaos to the game many of us LOVE . Over 1100 already have entered. The claim that coaches can move w/o sitting out is not apples to apples .
I'll give a baby update, didn't wanna flood the TL. Name is Mason Donald Sweeney. Middle name after my grandfather who just loved Niki.
Mother doing great, blood pressure maybe a tad high. She got to hold him for the first time around 11:30am today!
Cont...
This loss is different for Kentucky. This was THE year. All the DJ/Bradshaw bluster, big transfer, key guys returned, Reed balled. What a choke job. The standards haven't lowered at Kentucky but the results have...in March, in the SEC tourney, in the regular season. Everything.
There won’t be too many guys like Jeff Brohm, probably none, that will leave a Big 10 (or SEC) school with all the money in college sports and essentially taking less to go back home. Louisville gotta feel pretty good about that.
I still cannot believe Kansas’ midnight madness last night. They just flipped the keys to Snoop and told him to do whatever. Pole dancers, mascot smoking a blunt, money machine. It was the dumbest yet greatest thing I’ve seen in a while. It was a a Chappelle skit.
The announcement today was that I’m leaving
@ESPN680
. I have accepted another gig in a different market. I hope to be able to give more info in the next week or so. For now, I’m floored by the extremely nice messages. 1 more week of shows…better believe we’ll have fun!
Heird just spent a minute praising Tom Jurich. And to think not even 24 hours ago John Ramsey and others continued to dump on Josh all in the name of Tom. Sometimes you gotta be above the goons.
I want to be abundantly clear on this. I don’t see how you can love this UofL team and want to self-impose. We get on the NCAA for being unfair, but self-imposing is literally the most unfair thing you could do to this team. I didn’t like it the first time around, not now either.
@TimBrando
@RexChapman
I’d love for Tim to fill us in on what kind of guy he was? Lets both start googling and see where it takes us. Additionally, the point would be Rex cleaned his life up while Rush...to the bitter end...
Jay Williams on Louisville basketball… “what set are we running”? Why is Johnson out? Why are they switching on Reneau? Why does KP love himself some Mike James today?
I’m confused by fans who are still bothered that Lamar was bypassed in the draft. Did you want him with the Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Bills? He went to a stable franchise that has set him up for success. The same isn’t true with these other teams. You should be happy, not angry.
IF Kentucky were to lose and Louisville were to win on Saturday…
UK would be 5-3 overall, 2-3 in the SEC. Best win would be Miss St 16, Florida 39.
UL would be 5-3 overall, 3-3 in the ACC. Best win would be Wake 15, UCF 32.
Avg SOS per Sagrain so far…UK 71, UL 67.
Baby doing pretty well considering he was 5 weeks early. Breathing is what they're watching but that's been steadily improving. So far so good!
Thanks again for everyone's kind and encouraging words.
Calipari post game presser bingo...
- they’re kids
- they’re humans, not machines
- we needed it
- they need to take ownership
Which ones am I missing?
Kentucky just walked into Neyland and pounded Tennessee. Stoops gets to bully them and just run the ball the entire 4th quarter. Kentucky football is back to having expectations after the win today.
Kentucky fans yesterday...
"Cal hates Andy Miller. Our kids aren't a part of this".
Kentucky fans today...
"Cal and Kenny weren't named. You can't prove they knew. Louisville cheated"
Today is going to be fun.
Louisville fans are finding the success of Kenny Payne was perhaps due, in large part, to it being Calipari and Kentucky. In his post Flowers talks playing in the NBA. He think Australia prepares him better than KP's "star studded" staff?!
Satterfield has to be the only coach I can ever think of who left a place and seemingly none of the recruits care. This sentiment may change but there’s almost no weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Thank you again to everyone at
@ESPN680
. It's been an honor to talk Cards/Cats and a lot of nonsense from 2007 until today. I'll try and respond to everyone's messages in the next day or so.
Time served included…
- Having to fire HOF coach Pitino
- Having to fire legendary AD Jurich
- Haven’t won a tourney game since ‘16
- Haven’t made the tourney since ‘18
- Mack drama
What am I missing?
Calipari.... “our schedule down the stretch is ridiculous”.
The average NET ranking of Kentucky’s remaining opponents is 58. Just for reference, IU is number 59 in the NET.
Howard Schnellenberger has passed away at 87,
#FloridaAtlantic
announces. Coached Miami to a national title in 1983 and also coached Louisville, Oklahoma, Florida Atlantic and the Baltimore Colts. Went 158-151-3 as a college coach.
We are about to see how much Satterfield REALLY had to do with that recruiting class. My guess….next to nothing. This is great for both side. He needed a reset and Louisville needed a real football coach.
Calipari just said he’s got 10 new guys who don’t know each other. Says they can’t eat meals or play video games together. I’m a tad confused...they’re a quarantined team. Can’t they literally only be around each other?
Fascinating how a tenure that started with fans boasting UofL would now get every player from UK/Duke and that KP was directly responsible for the majority of Calipari’s wins ends with only 12 of his own in 2 years. One of the great blunders in sports history.
Did not expect Kentucky to straight bully LSU, but they did. Completely dominating performance. Levis was efficient and the Cats did whatever they wanted on the ground. That's how you bury a "down" team. Impressive.
My dude
@J680Anderson
giving his final goodbye. Tough day around here but again, sooooo happy for him. Absurdly excited to see what accomplishes.
@ESPN680
Announcement has been made! ESPN Louisville will be your home for
@Bellarminehoops
@BUKnights
as they’ve made the jump to D 1.
Super pumped. The Take will be out there today 3-6p. Scotty D will go 1 on 1 with Streble.
I wasn't joking when I talked about it yesterday...the Reds are 0-3 since Satterfield tossed out the first pitch. If he would've thrown it out on Fri you don't get the Votto HRs, De La Cruz cycle etc. Remember Satt first Bengals game was the Damar Hamlin game. This isn't a joke.
Nwora exact quote when asked if everyone was staying ... "As of right now, yeah. I know all of us love it here. I don't think that will change. He's a great coach."
Capers news is huge for Louisville. Hard to find too many holes in the roster. Even since spring the work they've done is impressive.
Tell me I'm wrong..70% of UofL fans will have the Cards 10-2, the other 30% at 9-3. Is that fair? Sure are no excuses. No "dealt a bad hand"...
Valiant effort by Louisville, but....
- Fumbled twice at 14-14 and gifted ND a TD.
- Fumbled at the ND 24 down 21-14.
This was a game that could’ve been won. It sounds crazy but ND is nothing special and wasn’t overwhelming. The Cards had their chances.
Friendly reminder…if you’re a teacher in Kentucky/Indiana and the games aren’t on in your classroom then you’ll get what’s coming to you in this life or the next. :)
I’m excited to see Chris Mack coach at Louisville with legit expectations (and so fast). No excuses. He has various lineup options, a top 10 recruiting class, experience at PG, possible 1st team all ACC etc. It’s full go time in year 2.
Not that they need my (or anyone else’s) validation but good for
@UofLFootball
being over 85% vaccinated with that number expecting to rise. It’s not only a competitive advantage but practices common sense.
Beshear has been conservative in reopening, masks etc, and for months it felt like the right thing to do...not anymore. Maybe 5% of ppl had masks on during Oaks/Derby. Hrs of live TV with no masking. We’re the face of not masking in public! We should be 100% open Monday.
Louisville has always had two institutions in the nation's top 10; Cardinal basketball, and Actors Theater. Today the Card's are are shockingly inept and Actor's is completely irrelevant. How very sad.
Wanna know something funny on a Tuesday?
Remember that Jurich email that quickly got debunked and "someone" was left hanging looking really stupid/alone/sad/desperate?
Confirmed...John Ramsey wrote that email.
Bless the hearts of many SEC teams. Some of you really think since Georgia smoked TCU that your team would as well. It’s cute. Some of you guys lost to Vandy and some are coached by Jimbo Fisher.
Whether he wants to admit it, Jurich was obsessed with
@KySportsRadio
rise and popularity. People and companies were sued over it. It was an obsession of his.
Bobby Petrino was right in getting Tutu Atwell over Rondale Moore. I know injuries and covid confused this, but Petrino was CRUSHED over that recruitment and ultimately was right.
I was in Rupp when Kentucky spanked Louisville by 29 and Cards players were lamenting their effort, coaching decision and giving "no comments". If the Cards win today they'll be ahead of UK in every ranking...Sagrain, KenPom, top 25 rankings. Amazing and unpredictable.
She dreamed of a birth center, mid wife delivery but rising blood pressure made that impossible. I'll send updates. We're both kind of a mess right now. In Louisville I'd call it a pivot, in Indy it's an audible. OMAHA!
Why does someone have to take the blame? The Vince Tyra bashing is over the top. What if Brohm just wanted to stay there? Reminder that Tom missed on 2 of his last 3 football hires.
The best thing outside no postseason ban is Kenny Payne gets real expectations. Go recruit, go get players, make the tourney next year. Simply put, it’s time this team is good at basketball. It’s not a marathon. That’s my biggest disagreement with him. Time to win.
