Christmas Jingle for Cat Fans

[DJD]

Don, all through the game against Western Carolina, I kept repeating to myself "Charlie Strong, Charlie Strong."

Touche' LOL!

no matter what, we all have fishing in common. I want UK #1 and UL #2 and UL fans want it the other way. So lets get along. It's Christmas lol

I think the problem with UL is they have Pitino. Pitino lied to these Cat fans when he left and then landed at UL years later which was percieved as a slap in the face. Of course they wished bad things on him and then he gets caught with his pants down (sorry bout that right there). So now it's their turn to laugh.

The majority of the hate comes from that. I'm not a die hard UK or UL fan but pull for both 99% of the time. I love to watch face paced ball and both coaches like to do that....JMO.

I'm a Cat fan first. But I pull for the Cards to win every game except the one's they play against the Cats. I also pull for Eastern, Western, MSU, Murry St., they are all state teams, why wouldn't you pull for them?

Ya know I've heard that before and I'm curious. What did he lie about?
Not being argumentative I really want to know what he supposively lied about?

The NBA didn't work out and him taking the job at UofL should not be held against him that's just plain childhess right there.
That's like little Johnny not wanting Bobby to play with anyone else because he's Johhny's friend only, Pleaaaaase, lol.
I'm not mad we are all getting along, Coombaya and all that crap but seriously.....................................What did he lie about?

[DJD]

Man all I remember is that he said he would not leave KY. The buzz around here was the guy is the King why would he leave especially when he said he wasn't interested in going anywhere else. Sorry I can't find any quotes on this and I wish I could so I'm not talking out of my backside.

I do remember getting a few names tossed my way for saying he is leaving because of the money..LOL!
In the end that's why he left....50 Million dollars (insert doctor evil).

So many people that I work with were PISSED OFF and I just kinda smiled and reminded them it's all about the money. When it was rumored he would come to UL I about had a "code brown" in my britches. What an interstate rivalry!

I think people get blinded in thinking that a coach who has no history in an area has a loyalty as deep as a fan who could be 3-4 generations deep.

I hope someone can find the quotes...no problems on this end Mark.

None here either Bro, I was just curious as I've heard this comment before??

Hate the game not the player......

50% of the reason I like UL is because of Pitino being the coach, the other 50 is state school. When I found out Pitino was going to UL it scared the crap out of me. I wasn't mad. I thought they would beat us every game. It just hasn't worked out that way. Never mad at Pitino. I bet if you could get a true answer, I bet he wished he would have stayed at UK. Water under the bridge and we have Cal. Two of the top coaches period in KY. UK still rocks.

I watched an interview online and he said in a nutshell....he wasn't going to leave UK for coaching the Boston Celtics at 25 million but when they offerred 50 million and an executive position he couldn't pass it up.
He later realized that leaving was a mistake even with the money...I can't imagine turning down 25 mill and then someone doubling the offer. Man thats good business! Some people got it like that.
