I guess its not a suprise to anyone that I hate the University of Louisville sports programs and I think their fans are for the most part young
and wet behind the ears and delusional and mostly obnoxious.

They run off to all of our rival boards and say how Calipari is a cheater and yada yada yada. They claim UK cheats and we are backwards. You can read that type crap on just about any UL message board. They want to dominate any UK article in the Courier Journal or the Herald Leader with thier trashy comments in the comments section.

I dont go to those boards or newspaper comments sections often, but they are obsessed with UK everytime I have done so.

They say UK has hired a cheater coach. Nevermind that he has zero NCAA violations. The only coach in UL history that won their lone 2 titles got UL put on probation TWICE in the 90s.

The only time UK hired a cheater coach was when we gambled on Rick Pitino after his 8 NCAA violations at Hawaii as an assistant. He had a clean tenure at UK. We rolled the dice and won. Now they want to say we hired a cheater coach, when in fact it was UL that did that most recently without any reservations.

UofL has one probation for each title.

I will spell out those charges after a few more notes.

They say UK has always cheated. I find that funny for UL fans to say since UL has been on probation TWICE under Crum in the 90s. UofL looks to UK for program builders. They built their once pathetic football program, and now “declining” football program on a former UK football player Howard Schnellenburger. UL built back their current basketball program with former UK coach Rick Pitino. Their assistants are almost always former UK players.

When UL goes outside of looking to UK for help they wind up with a Ron Cooper or a Krackpipe. Why is it they have no former UL people to hire as assistants? My guess is that they just dont have anyone good enough. Yet they trash us because we do. They say we are cheaters, yet they want what we had and have.

UofL always looks to UK for their own program builders, whether it be Schnellenburger, Pitino, Marvin Stone, UK’s team chaplain….Whats next UL fans, you want our old underwear too?

Ponder this UL fans (Below)…This was YOUR basketball program before a former UK guy came in to straighten it up.

During the summer of 1995, a men’s basketball student-athlete had extensive personal use of a 1995 Ford Explorer owned by his summer employer. At the end of the student-athlete’s summer employment, the employer also paid for the removal of a car stereo the student-athlete had installed. Because these benefits were not generally available to other part-time employees, they violated NCAA legislation. These violations did not involve any responsibility on the part of the university because the company and its president were not representatives of the university’s athletics interests at the time of the violations. However, the university determined that the company and its president became representatives, or boosters, as a result of providing these benefits to the student-athlete.
From September 6 to December 5, 1995, the men’s basketball student-athlete received extra benefits from the booster, his summer employer, when he was provided the exclusive use of a 1991 Honda Accord, insurance and payment for parking tickets. The student-athlete believed his father purchased the automobile for him.

On June 21, 1995, a men’s basketball
student-athlete received extra benefits from a booster who cosigned a credit application at an electronics store and provided local transportation and a lunch. From February to May 1995, a booster who was a former volunteer strength coach made improper telephone and in-person recruiting contacts with, and impermissible cash offers to, a men’s basketball prospective student-athlete and his summer basketball coach. An assistant men’s basketball coach and the head men’s basketball coach were aware of at least some of the contacts but failed to report the information to university administrators. The booster also had impermissible recruiting contacts with a second men’s basketball prospect.
In June 1995, an assistant men’s basketball coach provided a small amount of cash to a men’s basketball student-athlete. There were a number of secondary violations.

Now, who are you to cast stones UL fans? And who are you to cast stones at the ones who have saved both of your sports programs at one time or another?
