Jessie, can you show us the video from Hotel security showing the UA players ripping off the 80 candy bars?

Since you believe that a player is a reflection of the coach I guess we can assume Lute had a real sweet tooth.

So when the UA players were robbing hotels in Lawrence, KS that was a reflection of Lute?

Interesting…

could you please point to some evidence there has been any fighting in the past between the 2 programs?
maybe you have some video of all these years of fighting in your extensive video collection.

Bennie,

Ever hear of the saying, A player is a reflection of the coach.
This may apply to ON and OFF conduct.
(Should the parents of the Louiv. players be concerned…)

With the arrest of these two players, Pitino is in a LOSE-LOSE situation.
Can Pitino suspend the players?
Pitino was not suspended for violating the Univ. code of conduct.- morale clauses.
The right thing to do is to suspend the players.

So this leads us to Kansass Gangster U.
Is the Fighting a reflection of Lew and BS character?
The fighting has been going on for years.
And LEW has decided NOT to suspend the players.

A PLAYER is a REFLECTION of the COACH.

I’m still surprised that after the 5th coach turned them down they didn’t reach out to the little Minotaur, Josh Pastner. That guy is the Rudy Ruettiger of college hoops.

This would never happen if Lute Olson was still alive.

Wow Woody, you really enjoy picking on someone who isn’t all there. Classy.

the Louisville Courier Journal is now reporting the arrests took place in Indiana, just across the river from KY. Whatever happened, it was bad enough for one of them to get tased.

And for the record I am no Jayhawk fan, but this is worse than a spat between KU bball and fball players. Louisville has had a horrible offseason, Pimpino’s trial is still looming, and in less than a month before the first game, two players are charged with resisting arrest, and Jennings was actually tasered. And all Pimpino has to say is the situation will be handled internally.

I dont see Pimpino staying at UL much longer, and when he leaves he have left the program in shambles.

At least none of these programs had to offer a Head Coaching job to 6 guys before they could find somebody willing to do it.

Jessie, are you working on the Louisville players video yet?

Amazingingly, UA has never had any problems…ever. Nothing like a former coach going MIA, sending out questionable letters in clear violation of NCAA rules, etc.

Louisville has had one of the worst offseasons imaginable. This makes what happened at KU look like nothing.

Jessie- The reason nobody from KU was suspended from the fights is because what happened is so vague (as we can tell from all of your insightful videos) and no criminal charges were handed out, so they kept the punishments in house.
