    AD search public meeting

    Pretty much agree. Jurich returning would mean other important things had changed because he’s not returning otherwise. It’s why none of these hires incl. Payne’s tell me anything in isolation. U of L athletics has big problems that are bringing everything down…

    Mr. Jim Patterson wanting TJ back as AD

    Isn’t that a 2-way street? What decision? He never had an opportunity to deal with Pitino. If Jurich was to return, other stuff would have to change. But that needs to happen anyway. Jurich or not, we’re headed nowhere good…

    U of L Football Ticket Inflation...

    The dollar amount isn't the issue esp. when you're comparing far-flung locations and events. It's the rate of change. Was that Lakers ticket $250 last year?...

    Jurich had very little to do with self imposing. He and Pitino had to come out publicly and immediately to rescue Ramsey when lynch mobs were forming. And Jurich was skilled at damage control. U of L seldom took a step back under his watch when any mistake was made or a decision turned out...

    That's my favorite "coincidence" theory described differently. IOW there's no such thing...

    Mr. Jim Patterson wanting TJ back as AD

    It's not a hire-or-fire decision. It's about damage control, a skill that clowns have proven the last five years they don't have a clue about. No one's ever argued that Pitino should still be here (although I've started questioning that outcome). Most informed people will say we screwed...

    Mr. Jim Patterson wanting TJ back as AD

    Ramsey followed Smrt, ill advisedly as everyone recognized immediately in the aftermath. Jurich never had the opportunity to deal with Pitino wrt Adidas. He said so…

    AD search public meeting

    I'm serious about this... The biggest advantage to hiring Heird is the same reason there's no rush to find his permanent replacement. He's cheap. Every meaningful athletics hire since clowns took over is/was paid less than his predecessor. Anyone want to debate me that's a coincidence? We're...

    At least it's exciting... :) But is it me, or does Coach look like he's aged about ten years the last 1 or 2?

    AD search public meeting

    How many of those empty chairs supported Heird? Did Tyra get a standing O for time served? Last nite's meeting was for the "Louisville community". I'm a college graduate and U of L alumnus. My meeting is Thursday...

    Brohmbardi gets an extension

    His sloppy seconds are doing well here. That savvy AD we had knew what he was doing...

    Remember "small ball"? I liked small ball once I got used to it... :)

    North Carolina

    Bingo--evidently. If Kuehner is in the weekend rotation, it speaks volumes about the quality of our pitching. And you need no better evidence of that than Robinson coming in and immediately surrendering four more runs. We had to go through three pitchers before we could consistently get UNC...

    Yeah, some folks at KU decided to retain Bill Self. How’s that working out so far?…

    U of L Football Ticket Inflation...

    You can't analyze the dollar amount of ticket sales when you don't know how much of the 30% will materialize. Only if the number of tickets sold holds steady do you bank that full increase. Simply increasing the price 30% doesn't result in that scale of revenue increase. There will be demand...
