It really is almost comical what Louisville has become. I can remember when Pitino first went to Louisville I was so worried about what they would become and how the balance of power seemed likely to shift. At the time, we had Tubby Smith of course, and I was always worried about our lack of recruiting and how the program had seen a drop-off in quality. Meanwhile, Louisville seemed on an upward trend and the future seemed bright. I thought it was almost a certainty that Louisville would beat UK on a regular basis. It's crazy what they've become now.
The irony here is that when Calipari came to UK all the accusations and insinuations from Louisville fans was that UK would do anything to win and that Calipari was surely cheating and it would only be a matter of time before Kentucky would be in hot water for violations on a regular basis. So, all these years later, Calipari has kept UK out of hot water and running a clean program and Louisville is the program that has tried multiple desperate schemes to maintain its program and scandal after scandal keep coming out. We thought it would end with Pitino but the hits just keep coming.
Sad thing for Louisville fans is this: despite the ongoing scandals and cheating, UK has consistently beaten the Cards and there never was a significant shift in the series. So, they cheat and they still lose.
