ESPN OTL story about Louisville

Have you been under a rock the past couple of years while duke has fielded the GOAT team twice? I would say we have taken quite the backseat to duke lately.

But yes, once again, everything college basketball even when it doesn’t involve UK


Duke has won the off season lately but some of you aren’t good with that.
 
Just find it funny that although we all obviously partake in an online message board for college basketball some people will call others obsessed.

It’s like being in an AA meeting with one person calling the others a drunk. We are all here for a reason
 
Don’t think this could be classified under “obsession.”
This is a huge story with rather far reaching implications. It does affect college basketball as a whole. Given what has happened, I imagine the ncaa** is going to implement some (more) rules for oversight. If other schools are smart, then they need to investigate what all is going on in their athletic departments.
Jurich, IMO, was afforded too much autonomy. It’s easy to become corrupted under those circumstances. A lot of money was involved; even the best of people can get caught up in it.

This affects Kentucky fans who live in the state as well as Louisville fans. We’re talking about a situation that involves our largest city and it involves the taxpayers.

I’m more concerned about the vast majority of UK fans outside of Jefferson Co. who continually support Matt Bevin.

I'm just glad Kentucky wasn't in the position of choosing between a child predator and a Democrat. We'd never live that down.

I, unlike many of my Big blue friends, do not necessarily cheer against Louisville. Especially since they joined the ACC. Louisville winning makes me feel 100x better than duke or the former institute of learning in chapel hill. Hell I even rooted for them to beat Indiana this year before conference play even begin I would say that’s a record.

So sorry to inform you but you’re wrong

Ah, the leading line of trolls everywhere
 
They are a rival to my favorite team. Do you openly cheer for your rivals? Do I like them? No. Do I like them more than a few of their opponents? Yes.

Maybe you don’t understand sports fans

....don't sweat him, ThroughBlue. You can always tell when Lil' Wojo's had a bad run in his D&D tournaments. He's a lot more snarky and bitchy.

We have a cozy relationship to say the least with Under Armour...to say Maryland does not promote sports is simply baffling....I guess I need to know what "promoting sports" means to you.....

I guess "superior" to Terps to you means ripping off the good people of Louisville with the glory that is UL Sports. If 50% of the ESPN story on Jurich is true - y'all got ripped off by a salesman...and Michael Corleone - his Godfather/Coach......who has always been dirty......great coach though.....

I really have nothing against UL or the city of Louisville - great time when I was there 2 years ago for Sweet 16...golf in Indiana at 40 degrees on an Indian reservation casino place...nice course.

But Jurich and Pitino squeezed you folks for millions and millions...while the academic side starved. We could not get away with that for as long as it happened to UL - the Wash Post is too damn close - and scandal at a massive school like Maryland basically in DC would be exposed quickly.

This is the second post that was arrogant, ill conceived and down right wrong.

I lived in Baltimore when Maryland was found cheating out their ass and the newspapers could have cared less. With Lefty and Williams there Maryland wrote the book on cheating, but being a piece of shit program no one cared.

When did Gary Williams cheat, Bert?

When did Lefty Cheat, Bert?

Be specific, please.

Maryland is a DC school, not Baltimore. Do we have to do this every year??

Merry Christmas!!

You didn’t quite grasp what I was getting at, did you? People always add an outlier (I’m a big Cal fan, but...Coach K is a legend, but...I don’t even hate UNC like most, but...) and think it disguises their transparent trolling

You said I was obsessed with Louisville. I simply pointed out to you that I was not and then went on to say that I don’t even hate Louisville like the typical UK fan. Mainly because I live on the Tennessee line and I deal with more fans of other schools.

Good luck on the next D&D tourney

You seem angry again Bert.

Just attack me, and leave Gary and Lefty out of it. Both ran clean programs. The sanctions 89-91 were levied against Bob Wade, and his program.

These are called facts. The Washington Post would crucify Maryland in a heartbeat if it smelled scandal...it would be ....hold on....YUUUUUGGGE....(that's for you Bert...)

so you hate me worse than Louisville...interesting....or is it because I took a shot, legit in my opinion...at Slick Rick.......a proven hustler.....and you know it....took 95 million of the 100 million earmarked for UL, and put it in his own pocket???

Is that ok too??
 
I think the UK Board of Trustees for the University of Louisville has a great response today according to a UL student whom I know.

1) No sex parties in Minardi Hall, period. All such parties must be off campus.
2) Said "parties" shall no longer include any female under 18, Period.!
2b) One female must be Caucasian.
3) Said "parties" shall not consist of squirting to the ceiling, or shall no request be made of such. Period!
4) If any cash is to be paid for a student athlete, said athlete must be no less than a 5*.
4b) Said athlete must have a ESPN rank of 10th or less
5) The University willfully acknowledges Jurich/Pitino knew nothing about anything pertaining to U L Athletics
5b) The Polygraph Test, used by the university machine will be calibrated immediately.
 
I'm in the threads about UL to hammer UL.......... they are our hated rivals and we've had to read accusations of UK cheats since the internet boards were created...........

Anyone who has a problem with our sweet revenge can line up to eat a bag of dongs
 
“I’m not obsessed, no wait I am obsessed, no you’re obsessed with us thinking we’re obsessed!”

Oh raftards, please...never change.

By your obsessed logic........ You're obsessed with what UK fans are saying about UL sooooooooooooooooooooooooo ...... no one is making you read these threads that you already know whats going to be said in them
 
Just so everyone gets on the same page........ the "you're obsessed" retort is the grown up version of "I'm rubber and you're glue" and pretty much just means you cant think of anything clever
