    Addressing the Pitino bashing on here

    No worries, but tell all the relatives of people killed by drunk drivers that alcoholism isn't worse than abortion. Abortion is a choice and it's the right of the mother. Alcoholism and drunk driving is the most extreme form of selfishness.

    Addressing the Pitino bashing on here

    The one thing I also find funny and almost forgot to mention. A lot of people on here criticize (and some even wanted him fired) Pitino for the whole Sypher affair and abortion, yet these same individuals don't criticize Crum for being divorced TWICE! And from I've heard one time it was because...

    Considering what people do when they're alcoholics yeah. I had a friend of mine who was an alcoholic, he truly became a different person when he was drunk. Really destroyed his family dynamic and was damn lucky he never killed anyone. Guessing Larry Eustachy was lucky as well since alcoholics...

    Larry Eustachy's wonderful qualities: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/22589155/larry-eustachy-stepping-colorado-state-rams-head-coach http://articles.latimes.com/2004/dec/20/sports/sp-eustachy20 Hmmm, so let's see here, alcoholism, addiction (it was rumored he was into...

    Addressing the Pitino bashing on here

    I can't confirm this but I thought I remember Jurich even coming out and saying that if Pitino didn't accept the job he was going after Eustachy and Eustachy would've accepted. I'm pretty confident in that and we all know how Eustachy would've ended up. Easily the basketball version of...

    And just remember this KentuckyShame, if Pitino doesn't come here we aren't even debating this because the UofL basketball program would be irrelevant. We would've hired Eustachy, had a lost 2000s (meaning two consecutive lost decades) and like IU would be irrelevant and still trying to get back.

    Addressing the Pitino bashing on here

    I don't deal with a debate at all. I've worn my 2012 Final Four and 2013 National Championships with pride at basketball games and don't intend on stopping anytime soon. They are wins, no ifs and or buts. Again just like we all know Michigan went to the Final Four in 1992 and 1993, just like we...

    Addressing the Pitino bashing on here

    Again I wasn't the one who made it political. Many others have brought up the Sypher incident and indicating that they think he should've been fired because they don't believe in abortion. I'm simply indicating that that viewpoint shows their age as most of us who are younger could care less...

    Addressing the Pitino bashing on here

    They aren't erased, those wins and championships are only erased if you let them be erased. We know they happened on the court and that the cheating with McGee not only didn't help but actually hurt our recruiting. UofL will always make the 2012 Final Four and win the 2013 National...

    Addressing the Pitino bashing on here

    Ugh do you know exactly what was in the morality clause? I'm not saying I do but I doubt you know either. A lot of people in this country, myself included, don't consider abortion to be bad. That also means a lot of us would not consider the Sypher incident to be a violation of the morality...

    Addressing the Pitino bashing on here

    And my remarks are in defense of Rick Pitino. Rick overall did more good than bad and with our facilities, Adidas affiliation and conference affiliation (all of which we wouldn't have without Pitino) he set us up for success after he was gone. And Pitino was truly a victim in all of this as...

    Addressing the Pitino bashing on here

    Thank you for bringing this up! I honestly thought about using this when responding to CardinalRod's comment. If anyone built everything it was Peck Hickman, he is the father of UofL basketball. Just like Howard Schnellenberger is the father of UofL football. He set the foundation and gave UofL...

    Addressing the Pitino bashing on here

    My apologies, yes it did come off to me that way (that you were a better fan and I should shut up) and I probably read into it a little bit as well. The joys of the internet and lack of face to face communication, lol. I'm just saying I don't think the endless Pitino bashing on here is a good...

    Addressing the Pitino bashing on here

    A lot easier to attend every game when you are 20 minutes away compared to 12 hours away. But I guess if that makes you feel better as a fan. I can tell you right now I attend at least 5 - 6 home basketball games a year and in football went to the Alabama, FSU and GT games this year, which IMO...

    Addressing the Pitino bashing on here

    Maybe because sometimes certain fans need to hear it. Whether some older fans like it or not it's not the 1950s anymore. I just noticed that a lot of anti-Pitino fans here brought up the abortion thing and for a lot of us who are younger fans that's not a big deal at all. I'm not saying you have...
