Oh what could have been if not for that damn Quaker.
My Coach is kicking UConn’s ***

Was he your coach when he was at Louisville?
I enjoyed beating your coach but I hope your coach kicks Hurley's azz.
Post of the day
It is sickening to know that he would have loved to be here for the last few years of his career. Too late now, but we wouldn't be in our current situation.
I'm sure someone is going to say " but we beat him this year", but the reality is that Pitino is still on another level than our current coach. Everyone knows that.
We had several proven coaches who would have loved this job, but Mitch thought it might be fun to experiment.

We should have hired him back when he left Boston. Cowardly Kentucky administration couldn't see the bigger picture.
never met someone I respected who pined for the ex wife who cheated on him.
Pitino is pretty good at beating anyone other than Nolan, who routinely ate this lunch when Arkansas was beating UK every single time they played in the early to mid 90's.
See the post by Celtic Cat a few posts down from this one for some good info.

Nolan was 4-6 against Pitino, including three losses in the SECT after winning the regular season game. Pitino won his final four games against Nolan at UK.
The correct story is that Tubby had agreed in principle to coach the 76ers in December of 2000. Tubby had been a team USA assistant and was very well liked by a lot of league players. Pitino was going to come back in. Stephen A Smith broke the Tubby to sixers story in January of 2001 and then ownership got cold feet and hired Larry Brown. AI won league MVP and they made the finals. Crum got fired/retired and Pitino had to choose between Michigan, UNLV and UL. He chose UL and Tubby never got another NBA opportunity.
Thanks! Was there a point that after the Sixers changed direction that UK was going to just push Tubby out and hire Rick? Or, was that just rumor or my bad memory?
Pitino
what's your beef, CELTICAT???!
Pitino was easily the best Coach that UK has had in my lifetime.
Nah. Tubby won the 99 SECT, made the elite 8 and then won a share of the 2000 regular season. He wasn’t getting pushed out by Newton. Plus the football program was completely on fire with Mumme seemingly trying to get the death penalty.
You contradicted him and wasted his time by making him link the information. I hate when people do that to me as well.
Dense much bro? He told the story, even provided a link and you just dismiss his words as not true? Hell you’re right, he’s just overreacting
Absoloutly ZERO chance that was gonna happen after tubby won that title. Had he struggled those first 3 years then Pitino would have been back. But ain’t no way they were going to let him go after that.
That one title may have cost use 5 other ones.
We’ve set a record today for douche bags from other fan bases coming on this board
You have to realize you’re talking to an Arkansas fan. I know we don’t usually concern ourselves with discussions of that poverty wannabe program, but in the chance you do, you have to significantly lower your IQ to understand them. And forget any facts presented.
Nolan's career record against Pitino: 7-3. Look it up at: http://collegebasketballreference.com/
I don’t think it was ever about UL but it was Ricks way of getting back to Kentucky and back around horse racing and what better place than Louisville. Still a ****** place to go after his history here, but it was never anything about Kentucky. Ain’t nobody gonna wanna live in Vegas or Ann Arbor over Louisville.
I never said you were from Arkansas. I said you were an Arkansas fan. Anybody who would root for that school either loves losing or has the IQ deficiencies. Take your pick. Not sure which is better tbh.
Then you went to Cooley, because it’s clear you’re dumb as hell.
JakeKx, I like you dude. I have been a fan of your posts for quite some time now. Always enjoy reading them. Just fyi.
Arkansas fans are the dumbest fans in sports. Absolute idiots.
