U of L vs. WKU

[mhall]

I told my wife last night, "There is a guy on fishin.com right now flapping his beak". I'll give you her number and you can ask her, lol. I get on here this morning and there you are, to funny. Clyde I will save you some trouble so you don't have to post something about everytime Louisville looses this year. They are gonna have about 7 to 9 losses heading into the NCAA tournament this year. I predicted this before they ever bounced a ball this year. Slaughter and Pettigrew have an Axe to grind with Louisville and Kentucky for snubbing them, I don't blame them and more power to them, I'd would be the same way. The Cards do this stuff every year without fail you can set your watch by it. I just want the steady progression and be a good team come Feb. We''ll see what happens, so keep crowing, and we'll check back in a couple of months.

In Pitino's eight years at Louisville, he has had only one team that made it through the month of November undefeated and the list of teams that beat them could be a whos who of mid majors, such as WKU, Dayton, Umass etc. No worries here.

I think Pitino finally let them have what they wanted and basically said "okay guys, you don't want to do it my way, then lets see how that works out for you." I don't think he is wanting to lose, but he has been known to do things to send a message. See the 96 SEC tournament game when he set Antoine Walker for most of the game and the Cats lost. It was their last loss of the season.

Pitino said they got what they deserved because it was the worst week of practice one of his teams has ever had. I see a wakeup call coming this week.

Hey Tim they have probably been riding those exercise bikes ever since they returned home, lol. Oh my goodness it's gonna be tough on them this week. I also felt that same vibe you felt. The players thought they could just show up and Western would just roll over,,,,, NOT. Every year you can count on this type of game, usually there is a couple of them. I had forgot about him doing that with Walker, man were they focused after that.

It takes a little bit to get the freshmen to be on the same page. This loss will help a great deal down the road.

Did anyone get on here and post when the cats lost to VMI or San Diego State or Garland Webb last year?

No Ryan they didn't and I thought the exact same thing.

That is what I thought.

I know that WKU beat the cats when they were ranked #4 a few years back. The cards beat them when they were in the top 10 when Rick P was there coach.

Kentucky lost over the weekend to West Virginia, a bigeast team - there's a post.

Just be thankful that in college basketball you can lose and still be in it at the end. Western might surprise some folks again this year.

You beat me to it, lol. UK won that game and it was very entertaining, two very evenly matched teams going at each other hard.

I'm a UK fan first and foremost, but I pull for all of the other state teams unless they are playing UK. I don't know why they didn't go after Slaughter or Pettigrew either. I hope all of the state teams have a good year.

I tell you guys this, if Ricky P. don't slow down...The big one is gonna hit sometime soon...He's awfully pale looking like I don't know what...

The paper said something to the topic of U of L's players were talking big time crap and dissing the WKU players big time during pre-game warm-ups.... I guess if I were a KY. Mr. Basketball and the two top schools in the state didn't offer a scholarship...I'd be Tee'd off as well and would make sure I did a fine job of pay back when ever we'd meet up again.

I guess the same thing happened with the kid who went to Tennessee ( Lofton ) who wanted nothing more than to be a Wildcat...But Tubby gave him the cold shoulder I guess on that situation....

No I won't be on here whaling on about the losses that U of L gets during the year...But I will be on here giving my view of the games they do play...Same for IU and UK.....

My Hoosier's do have 4 wins so far and that is saying quite a bit for Tom Crean's recruiting ability so far....More the merrier.......
