A Match Made In H . . .

Reports are that the virulent new head mentor at Florida International, former Knick coach and sexual harrasser Isiah Thomas, is trying to convince septic recruit Lance Stephenson that southern Florida is just the place for him to pursue his lofty higher educational goals.
Is college basketball a warm [...]

Wall to . . .

. . . well, maybe, Duke.
Or so says a source who may or may not know what he/she’s talking about. As this story goes, that’ s where the kid wants to play, contrary to other whisperers (who, frankly, are just as credible as my source), who say he really wants to wear UK big blue.

. . . Tom Jurich.
A source close to the situation, a source who has provided reliable information through the years, advises that UCLA is making a maximum effort to lure U of L Athletic Director Tom Jurich to L A.
The source advises the school in Westwood is offering unbelievable financial benefits to Jurich to try [...]

Oh No . . . Not Him Again

Like an old rummy, a punch drunk fighter who has lost his perspective from too many punches over too many years, Brett Favre is once again — for 4,569th time — contemplating the renounciation of his retirement.
Word is that he’s going to meet with Minnesota Viking coach Brad Childress at a super secret don’t ask [...]

The John Wall Saga

Several U of L fans have approached me in the last day or so to express their joy at the latest turn in the John Wall journey. Because, well, UK hopes the kid matriculates there for his one year of college. The superballer was cited — not arrested, mind you — for breaking and entering, [...]

Now Sidney has joined several [...]

Latest on The Rick

A very reliable source extremely close to the situation advises that The Rick is putting new sod in his yard.
Well now, what could that mean?
He’s taking another job and wants the house to look good so he can sell it?
He’s not taking another job and wants his house to look good for Derby?
He’s retiring and [...]

Nuttin’ Honey

Not a single source within or without the U of L Athletics Department has heard anything at all about any announcement this afternoon regarding Rick Pitino and U of L basketball.
So my earlier post is probably nothing at all.
It happens.
But, hey, if something big comes along, you will have heard the first stirrings of it [...]

The Rick in the News???????

I have one source who advises that there is to be some sort of announcement about or from Rick Pitino this afternoon (Fri 4/17).
The exact quote in the email: “big pitino doings………… but hes not leaving ….at least for another team………. it’ll break later today.”
I’m doing my best to see if there’s anything to this? [...]

Not Bad, Not a Bad Day at All

Whoa, my Tigers unloaded for 15 in their home opener. Which, given how crappy Detroit’s pitching looks to be is the only way they’re going to get any Ws this year. 15-2 over the previously unbeaten Texas Rangers is a boffo way to start the year at home.
So, hey, I got that goin’ for me.
Which [...]
