Comparing apples to oranges. Bigger stage at UK. If he can do that at Texas AM , I feel good about what he can do here. Remember when he went there they were last in their conference and he still got kids to come there. Weve been used to someone taking little interest in recruiting and telling future superstars(who were asking to come here) to go to other places.

I dont think either team will be in the NIT.

Looks pretty good to me ...Yes I am happy. :banana: Announcement: The sky did not fall. Within 2 years we will be back in the thick of things.:ylsuper:

Tubby is probably ice fishing Pitino is worried now that the coach at UK can coach,play uptempo, and recruit.

Politically correct statement. If he wants to follow him to UK--Gillispie wont try to talk him out of it. IMO:thumb:

Wait until he plays with only players he recruited-- until we say anything

And play a style that is entertaining to watch:thumb:

ANSWER: They both wouldnt be caught dead coaching bball at LSwho.:banana:

REMEMBER -- Pitino was hired as the THIRD option. Gillispie will succeed at UK

With the current talent left for the new coach, Ill take him.

Darth Vader strikes again!:sssh:

GIT ER DONE:flame:

Remember when Pitino came to UK. He wasnt the first coach offered the position . And I think he had a little success here:D The sky is not falling:thumb:

:thumb: Remember when we were on probation ,Pitino wasnt the first coach UK offered the reigns to. And he was pretty successful here as a second choice:D

He gave it to LRCW so he could eat his free wings wearing it.

:scared: :cry: :eek::scared:

Dont leave us hanging. Where's the rest of the dialogue?

PLEASE Post pictures of him paying the bill.:laugh: :laugh:

That will make for some interesting threads , especially if Donovan doesnt come.:laugh:

Ditto :thumb:

I wasnt referring to the Celtics as their rival. I went to a fundraiser ,that Pitino was the guest of honor , in the heart of UK territory. This was after he said he was going to Boston.Everyone treated him just like he was still the coach. However Louisville was a different story.

Let me give you a more relative example because I lived in the Ville for ten years and was celebrating on campus when they won it in 86. Now lets suppose then that Crum the next year goes to the pros and after a few years comes back to UK as their basketball coach.( At this time Crum was loved and had a great run from 80-86). What do you think his reception would have been the next time UK came to town? It would have been very similiar. :flame:

The BIG difference is-- the situations mentioned didnt happen to a school's top sport AND they did .not go to their most heated rival

Those blinders that prevented him from seeing it are called Arrogance and Ego.
