Would Louisville ever have the balls to can Pitino?
With the school firing Ron Cooper after a season and a half, and fans calling for Kragthorpe's head after two, how come Ricky P with his recent resume of minimal achievement and massive slumps is able to receive a pass? I remember reading my grandparents' UofL Athletics year-in-review book like three years ago, where it was listing accomplishments of various sports. For each team mentioned, they provided an impressive ranking or conference or regional title. Then, for basketball, it had some generic statement like: "And the Cardinal basketball team tried really hard and played with a lot of character and poise." Or something to that effect. If that had been some less notable sport, the publication wouldn't have even bothered mentioning it. Pretty sad for a school that tries to survive on its basketball history. Not too long ago, Jurich dumped several adminstrators including a good soccer coach, because they fell below his expectations, yet the golden Messiah Pitino seems immune to such discipline.
While at UofL, Pitino also has had a tendencey to make statements that inevitably come back to haunt him. The best one occured when he said, if invited, he would refuse to play in the NIT. Then when informed by the school and conference that he was financially obligated to participate, "The Great One" had to tuck tail between legs and alter his tune. It's also worth mentioning that they failed to win the tournament in question that was supposedly so much below the Slick Rick's standards. Don't even get me started with the Derrick Character fiasco. I've never seen so many opportunities given to such an ingrate save one of the Kennedys. Didn't SOMEONE say that DC was going to be better than Mashburn? Maybe if Mash had been a lazy pothead, it would have leveled the playing field.
Point being, without pun, what's the breaking point? Will he ever be held accountable? Or will the program's reputation continue to draw mockery for antics and statements that would make the Illinois governer drop his jaw? Denny Crum never received such special treatment. And he only won, what, two championships for the school?

I would think that football grosses more cash, since, you know, the stadium is larger. Plus, UofL doesn't have to pay fees to the fairgrounds for pigskin events.

Hell No they do not have balls He Pitino is Bigger than the progam. He if he chooses to will come ight back and sit on his throne and be sucked on and awwww....by every last one of the uavel redtards. Calipari is not bigger than UK he knows that. Pitinno he was not aware that Louisville is a small town and we all know what happened at Porcini's that night 5 years ago, Skanky ass slut he bangs her and keeps on doing whatever he wants because Jurich is doing the same thing. So NO UL WILL NEVER SHOW SOME CLASS AND FIRE HIM. YOU THINK A CLASSY PROGAM LIKE UCLA OR DUKE??? The coaches there are good men in the first place and would never do that there responsible leaders of young men.

I can assure you that Tom Jurich does NOT run with "skanky ass sluts". He is a GREAT family man, unlike Lil Rickie. Tom has very high morals and standards. The best AD in college sports too. Good luck cards. GO CATS!!!
