I think he said "Right Now" like seven times.....He is definitely going to consider it. Rick Pitino called the UK job "Camelot" and "The Roman Empire of College Basketball" There is a new Ceasar comimg to town and his name is Billly the Kid!

Again...look at it anyway you want...the overall revenue at UK should be up if you want to lump football basketball and baseball together due to the fact the baseball program and football programs have just had stellar seasons by UK standards and if Billy comes on board, the basketball revenue will also spike upwards. You forget that UK is a basketball school and the the alumni here will raise whatever needs to be raised to cover the difference if need be. They got $30 million together for a basketball practice facility for crying out loud...you think they can't raise whatever is needed to get the coach they want???

You don't think the big money from Florida's #1 school...wouldn't pony up to outbid an SEC school? Please.

A stellar football or baseball season by UK standards is .500.

 

At Florida nothing less than a national championship is acceptable.

 

You've got to be kidding if you think UF doesn't have alums that would gladly donate money as well to a coach who just won back to back national titles for their alma mater.

 

Florida is the place to be right now. Either hop on the wagon or keep living in the past. The truth hurts my friend but UK's dominant run is over.

And why is that?

 

He bailed on a team that won the National Championship with all the players being his recruits in 1997 at Kentucky.

 

That's not just "asinine".....that's just "Pitino"!

 

They won in 1996 but not 1997... should have but thats neither here nor there.

^ And Rick was the coach in 1997 as well.

I would like some of what you've been drinking. It would make this hospital stay that much more enjoyable.

I read it three times just to be sure it wasn't just sarcasm.

I'm going to take the elevator up to the 3rd floor of the hospital where I work, and see just how many people in the Psych ward are posting on BGP. :lol: :lol:

I feel pretty good that Donovan is going to accept the job.

Best post since this thing started.

Believe me, Billy Donovan coming to Kentucky makes more sense than Rick Pitino, in my opinion. I have told it will be Pitino.

 

Remember, Florida with all key players back from a National Championship team rarely sold out the O'Connell Center which seats about 12,500. They brought one thousand with them to the SEC tournament. They had about 500 follow them during their first two NCAA games.

 

It just isn't Kentucky and that is why I would think Billy would be most interested. But........Rick (his mentor) wants the job!

 

Dude, you better hope this turns out to be true (against all odds) because if it doesn't and I run into you in the post-season... prepare to be dogged out like no other. I will introduce you as "that guy that swore Pitino was coming back to UK". I will be "LSURock the Merciless". I think you must be listening to some crazy folks. Good luck from someone that couldn't care less but is betting that you are wrong, wrong, wrong.:lol:

It will not come down to money. Of course it would help Urban Meyer.

It simply will be that Donovan wnats a new challenge in a place that he has been and is very fond of.

He will get a nice raise either way, it is simply going to be what his heart tells him to do.

They won in 1996 but not 1997... should have but thats neither here nor there.

Rick left for the Celtics in 1997 and Tubby won the National Championship in 1998.
