Dear legislators,
If you have to sneak around, at the last minute, under the cover of darkness, with police escorts, to pass legislation that isn’t even available to your constituents to view, y’all might be doing this whole “governing” thing wrong.
Here’s my unpopular Dick Vitale take.
He’s a national treasure. He has genuine emotion and passion for not only college basketball, but for the young people who play it.
His passion for hoops is only eclipsed by his passion for curing Cancer.
We could do a lot worse.
Tonight’s prayer:
Dear God, please make me so bad at ANYTHING in my life that people will pay me $14 million dollars to not do it for them anymore.
Amen.
Kenny Payne was asked.... How long is enough time to establish what a coach wants to establish in a job?
"Inheriting what I inherited... this is really year 1 to me."
It was in comparison to Hubert Davis at North Carolina.

Somebody is gonna have to explain to me, like I am a five-year-old, how a new guy, with no power 5 experience, comes on the scene and secures one of the top targets in the nation in like 4 business days.
Meanwhile, we literally had 0 commitments from the old staff in 2 years.
So here’s my big idea for the year. (And yes, there is usually only one.)
Since nobody wants to play in any bowl games, outside of the playoff, U of L and UK should play each other, with all proceeds going to local restaurants and their employees impacted by the COVID shutdown.
Anybody wants to run their mouth about Q should remember this...
This young man has been through hell for his hometown school.
Didn't deserve any of it. He could come out and take a shit at half court and I got no problems with him.
I do have problems with you though.
After watching
@Bellarminehoops
yesterday, my unpopular opinion is Freedom Hall >KFC Yum! Center.
The sight lines, the smells, all of it.
The basketball was amazing as well…
There is no shame in hiring the wrong guy.
Keeping him, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that’s a different kettle of fish right there.
Odds to be the next college basketball coach fired:
Kenny Payne +150
Jerry Stackhouse +600
Juwan Howard +750
Mike Boynton +1200
Wayne Tinkle +1200
Josh Eilert +2500
Johnny Dawkins +2500
Jerod Haase +3000
Mike Hopkins +3500
Andy Enfield +5000
KP’s “Building things the right way” and “it takes time…” soundtrack is sharply undone by Deion Sanders taking over a 1-11 football team and being in the top 25 on week 2.
Miss all of us with the idea that you cannot turn a hoops team around in a year. (Or less)
Here's what I'll say about Mick Cronin and U of L:
He can coach.
His players love him.
He wants to be here.
He learned from the best.
He would unify the old donor money.
He is not THE exciting choice.
He is not Scott Drew.
But, most importantly, he is not Kenny Payne.
Next coach that comes in here can tell me all about the mess he inherited and I will believe every word of it.
And if he wins 12 games in two years his ass has to go too…
“We are a couple of plays away from being 5-1.”
Perhaps the dumbest thing a fella could say.
You know what makes the difference in a couple of plays?
It’s called coaching.
Y’all think about this; we live in a world where David Levitch is a head coach and Rick Pitino is not.
And Bobby Petrino’s teams can’t score touchdowns.
I’m gonna need one of the “fringe” media guys to open today’s presser like this...
“Coach, I’m sorry, but what in the actual fuck???”
Hero status. Guaranteed.
Regardless of what the bill actually holds, and what the eventual outcome of it is, I will never be okay with the manner in which it was handled. If you are, then we probably can't hang out.
If you are a "representative" of mine, I certainly cannot vote for you again
Anybody who wants to keep floating Greg Marshall’s name for next head coach, please head north on I-65, once you get halfway across the Kennedy, stop, get out, and jump.
I didn’t like him before yesterday.
I would like to announce that after 44 years of fandom, I am officially re-opening my recruitment.
I want to thank Coach Crum, John L, Howard and several others.
After many conversations with my family, I am excited to see where the Lord takes us.
Please respect my decision.
So I have a confession. I was not particularly excited about the whole “TBT” thing.
But holy shit was I wrong. This is the best Louisville basketball since Rick.
If they figure out how to let the fans in on time for the next game, it will be perfect.
Bottom line, if Louisville wins 2 more football games this season, and doesn’t get the ever loving shit kicked out of them by UK, there are “0”special meetings with executive sessions.
That’s my stone cold lock of the week.
Listening to the radio this morning and thinking maybe
U of L should just see if they can get the check from Alabama and stay home.
What a bunch of gutless puke fans. Clearly, Louisville isn’t expected to win, but damn... Let’s pump the brakes on all the doom and gloom.
Wait a minute, we actually charged someone with a felony for a parody Twitter account posting that everybody with a fucking pulse knew was a joke.
But somebody made “death threats” and that’s just an aside to a story about why a guy isn’t taking a job?
I’m gonna call bullshit.
JCPS transportation must be doing “mental reps” this morning.
Been all over this county this morning. Haven’t seen one bus practicing a route yet.
From Fern Creek, to Okolona, to Portland, to Old Louisville. I didn’t pass one.
Wednesday gonna be interesting.
Just saw on the news that 39% of 18-24 year olds don’t wear deodorant because they “don’t think they need it.”
As the father of a teen aged boy, let me assure all of them that they are wrong...
@UofLSheriff50
Funniest thing I read on Twitter today; Cat fans bitching about Lamar not running the 40.
I thought they had seen him run in forty yard bursts enough to last a lifetime.
Only one thing about Louisville Hoops that bugs me.
While “PK” is cool, “KP” is not a universally bad thing.
Y’all fans need to cut that shit out…
Sincerely,
KP
