October 6, 201114 yr But Pitino's loan Championship was won with 7 future NBA players on the roster...there is a difference between over achieving and winning it all. One of the most talented rosters ever. I'm glad Cal jabbed them and I'm glad Pitino is mad. Nothing like alittle hatred to spice up a rivalry.
October 6, 201114 yr Well played sir! :clap::thumb: Ditto, the truth is that Bozich has a bad case of Cal envy!!
October 6, 201114 yr One of the most talented rosters ever. I'm glad Cal jabbed them and I'm glad Pitino is mad. Nothing like alittle hatred to spice up a rivalry. I hadn't heard that Pitino was mad. I hadn't heard that he'd even heard about it, let alone responded to it.
October 6, 201114 yr I hadn't heard that Pitino was mad. I hadn't heard that he'd even heard about it, let alone responded to it. Pitino's assumed response... “Four things I’ve learned in my 59 years about people. I ignore the jealous, I ignore the malicious, I ignore the ignorant and I ignore the paranoid. If the shoe fits anyone, wear it.” From an article by Jeff Goodman

If the shoe fits anyone, wear it.” From an article by Jeff Goodman Pitino's been awfully gabby lately. Although his comments here have brought me much humor, it doesn't come close to beating his most recent "Louisville First" campaign, which has recently been followed up by his own selfish ambition to keep UL in the Big East, when clearly a move to the Big 12 is "Louisville First." :lol:
October 6, 201114 yr Two differences between Pitino's comments and Cals. One, it did not preclude fans of the University of Louisville from existing. Two, he said it holding a trophy.
October 6, 201114 yr There are some "ok" points made in the rest of the article but it mainly just sounds like little brother trying to puff out his chest, which is kind of cute really. He does at least acknowledge that Cal has the upper hand now...This is super cute. It's like a Louisville fan calling Mark Story a homer.
October 6, 201114 yr I'm also a little surprised to see no UK fans actually engage on this and admit that Calipari does have a preoccupation with Pitino, or admit that this was obvious smack talk. For the record, I don't think that Calipari's preoccupation is unwarranted. Pitino is his rival's head coach and in state competition, but more importantly he resents Pitino talking-up his role in getting Calipari his gig at UMass. I get that. I'm just surprised that no UK fan is going acknowledge either aspect of that.

Gets in the way of all the good stuff! :lol: I just saw the article.

October 6, 201114 yr Two differences between Pitino's comments and Cals. One, it did not preclude fans of the University of Louisville from existing. Two, he said it holding a trophy. And three, when he said it he had something running down his leg. What trophy was he holding? His National Championship trophy that UK won him or his second place trophy from the Morehead game?
October 7, 201114 yr Pitino announced he will be attending the NCAA coaches Halloween party dressed as a bee. Cal was quick to announce he will go dressed as a wannabe.
October 7, 201114 yr Two differences between Pitino's comments and Cals. One, it did not preclude fans of the University of Louisville from existing. Two, he said it holding a trophy. Come on, you know they both mean the same thing.

I'm just surprised that no UK fan is going acknowledge either aspect of that. I think the "preoccupation" you speak of is nothing other than Cal showing Rick up. Rick didn't want Cal @ UK to start with. But Cal came anyway & has dominated Rick in every facet...on the floor, on the recruiting trail, in getting kids to the NBA. There's obviously bad blood between them, and the fact that there are just a few miles separating them makes it that much more intense a rivalry. So to me, this is about Calipari constantly reminding Rick that he is dominating him.
