Pitino on Pope
- Thread starter DraftCat
- Start date
If u watch this and you’re not on board, that’s on u.
All I needed to see, I’m all in.
Go Cats! I've not watched the basketball team in a quite a few years for my own personal reasons. I'm glad to be back.
I hear starlink has been installed in the mountains, you should be able to get the games now.
By a long, long, long shot that's the best thing I've seen from Rick since 1997.
I don’t know how anyone isn’t excited for this moment. The last few days have been a lot to digest, but we now have someone in the drivers seat that loves the program as much as we do. Cal coached the program for money, self promotion, and recognition. Pope is going to do this for all of us!
You can say what you want about Rick, and he has brought a TON on himself, but that was an extremely classy gesture for him to do that.
I'm glad they installed the Starlink satellites in the mountains. Thanks Elon!
CLASSY CLASSY post from Rick. I'm surprised. Lot of emotions there.
Pitino had so many damn issues at Louisville. Nobody will ever be able to take that back. Hookers, paying players, and extortion.
That said, I hope this is an opportunity for BBN and Rick to make amends. Not love each other, of course, I'm not sure that could ever happen. But, fans reconcile a bit with the ol traitor and vice versa.
Pitino is a great basketball mind. Probably would've been as good as or better than K if he'd stuck around at Kentucky. UK owes him thanks for four final fours and two (if you count Tubby using his players) championship banners in Rupp. I think Pope could help reform that bridge a bit.
FWIW, add Jack "Goose" Givens to the list of former Cats who are ecstatic about the hire.

And I would assume you could add Jeff Shepard to that list since they played together in 96.
Well, Pelphrey was a Kentucky boy. Pope is from Washington. I get what you’re saying but it’s not like Pelphrey.
