Pitino's plan...
- hate UofL
- stops Richard from taking job
- praises Uk, Camelot
- has name flirted for job, BBN doesn't revolt, some begged for it
- publicly backs Pope
- Pope invites RP back, maybe play St John's?
Rick ends career in good graces, beloved by BBN. Master.

Pat nuked the Colts. Hard to disagree with much, if any of this.
I’ve said what I believed to be the truth about the team.. & a bunch of “Colts fans” on the internet were trying to get me booed out of the city..
Current players, who have won nothing during their entire tenures, started using me and my face to try and paint me as the enemy in the city I’ve committed my life to.
And in the end… everything went.. just like I fucking said it would
In the biggest moments everybody with a brain knew they’d crack.. and they did.
A blind person could see the red flags on this team.. Work ethic questions, NEVER happens on good teams.. Preparation commitment questions, NEVER happens on good teams.. Late to meetings, NEVER happens on good teams.. Late to/skipping treatment, NEVER happens on good teams.. The franchise QB tapped out of a game.. on 3rd down.. in the red zone.. because he was tired… NEVER HAPPENED in the history of the NFL.
That’s literally the only thing you need to tell someone (who knows ball) and they could tell you everything about this team…
“Hey the franchise quarterback, who’s a professional athlete getting paid millions of dollars, and the face of a multi billion dollar franchise tapped out of the game because… because… because he was tired in the middle of the season”
“Oh wow.. that team has no chance” would be the immediate response..
And to the surprise of nobody.. that was the response by everybody who’s ever played/coached the game before but.. Colts blogs and fans who have been covering the Colts since 2020 and more recent knew better than everybody… Started personally attacking me and trying to kick me out of town.
When I said Joe Flacco gives us a better chance to win than AR immediately after the tap out.. I would’ve said whatever backup QB we had on the roster. That can’t be what the face of your team is doing.. just can’t be.. and to a bigger aspect of it all, somehow AR thought it was ok to do that. That’s a locker room issue.. that’s a culture issue.. thats an indicator of a loser attitude radiating thru a building that was built by greats.
I have no idea how they fix it.. I don’t think it’s like a light switch. “Alright, we’re gonna become Pros now” but… maybe it is, but what do I know?
Oh wait….. how this was all gonna work out. I knew that.
As a multiple year season ticket holder (not renewing).. and someone who has actively, daily, attempted to be an additive to this beautiful city. I hope they become a good franchise again.. this city deserves it.. the OGs in the Colts building deserve it (equipment managers, trainers, ticketing, PR, sales).. and on the flip side the players/coaches in that building deserve whatever happens to them. Your unwarranted arrogance, laziness, and lack of professionalism has lead you to ANOTHER early vacation… which is probably what most of you entitled bums have been hoping for.
I don’t speak for the city.. and I don’t speak for all ex Colts players because I was only a punter.. nominated for the HOF 3 times now but nonetheless.. I speak from my own perspective.. I’ve never seen a group waste opportunities/talent/money more than this group.
Cheers… #ForTheShoe #LahdHahse

Louisville and Indy friends...
My wife is being induced about 5 weeks early due to rising blood pressure. We just found out about an hour ago. To say our heads are spinning would be an understatement. It's going to be a long haul. We would appreciate any positive thoughts.

The season started with nobody wanting to play football more than Nebraska...it ends with them declining to play football.
Nebraska announces it will not play in a bowl game. Basically guarantees at least 3 bowls will be canceled today, sources told @Stadium

Just unbelievable Louisville is in the ACC championship game. They got Cincy to take their bum coach, Brohm hit the portal, easiest schedule possible, solid play, good coaching in winning close games, and good situational football. Quite the story.

I'll never understand Irsay's obsession with Ballard. Losing doesn't matter, a questionable (at best) culture doesn't matter, whiffing in the draft doesn't matter, no home playoff games doesn't matter, ignoring free agency doesn't matter blah blah. I can't make it make sense

I’ll be taking over the 12-3pm on @ESPN680 spot as Bobby V hangs it up. The first official show is today even though we were on all last week.
I’ve been backed doing programming for a couple months but pumped to be back on the air.

“2018 I sat out so I watched the guys lose and it hurt me a lot...i had all that built up...I did it for my boys back at Louisville...as you can see at the end of the game I was giving the chomp and throwing up the L’s at the same time...”

This loss is different for Kentucky. This was THE year. All the DJ/Bradshaw bluster, big transfer, key guys returned, Reed balled. What a choke job. The standards haven't lowered at Kentucky but the results have...in March, in the SEC tourney, in the regular season. Everything.

Remember when Woody called the Hoosier Hysterics guys into his office and scolded them? Remember when he said he’d be the coach at IU until he wanted to leave? Remember when he inferred Scott Dolson could do nothing about it? Funny huh?! IU 100% a tourney team? Not sure.

There won’t be too many guys like Jeff Brohm, probably none, that will leave a Big 10 (or SEC) school with all the money in college sports and essentially taking less to go back home. Louisville gotta feel pretty good about that.

I still cannot believe Kansas’ midnight madness last night. They just flipped the keys to Snoop and told him to do whatever. Pole dancers, mascot smoking a blunt, money machine. It was the dumbest yet greatest thing I’ve seen in a while. It was a a Chappelle skit.

The Colts argument to clean house has more common sense attached to it than running any part of this back.
Fans need to remember how they feel TODAY. In the next few weeks/months the PR machine will be working overtime…AR developing, maybe new DC, a play here or there etc etc..

I want to be abundantly clear on this. I don’t see how you can love this UofL team and want to self-impose. We get on the NCAA for being unfair, but self-imposing is literally the most unfair thing you could do to this team. I didn’t like it the first time around, not now either.

I’m confused by fans who are still bothered that Lamar was bypassed in the draft. Did you want him with the Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Bills? He went to a stable franchise that has set him up for success. The same isn’t true with these other teams. You should be happy, not angry.

IF Kentucky were to lose and Louisville were to win on Saturday…
UK would be 5-3 overall, 2-3 in the SEC. Best win would be Miss St 16, Florida 39.
UL would be 5-3 overall, 3-3 in the ACC. Best win would be Wake 15, UCF 32.
Avg SOS per Sagrain so far…UK 71, UL 67.

Louisville fans are finding the success of Kenny Payne was perhaps due, in large part, to it being Calipari and Kentucky. In his post Flowers talks playing in the NBA. He think Australia prepares him better than KP's "star studded" staff?!

Too much to analyze tonight but Louisville’s big money guys showed up. They out coached Miami early on and that spotted them a 14-0 lead. It was enough to hang on. They won the turnover battle, including Moss not making THE mistake. They were less penalized. Cards ranked on Mon.

Satterfield has to be the only coach I can ever think of who left a place and seemingly none of the recruits care. This sentiment may change but there’s almost no weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Shame on college football for not having him in the hall of fame while alive. Crushing news this morning.
Howard Schnellenberger has passed away at 87, #FloridaAtlantic announces. Coached Miami to a national title in 1983 and also coached Louisville, Oklahoma, Florida Atlantic and the Baltimore Colts. Went 158-151-3 as a college coach.

We are about to see how much Satterfield REALLY had to do with that recruiting class. My guess….next to nothing. This is great for both side. He needed a reset and Louisville needed a real football coach.

Calipari just said he’s got 10 new guys who don’t know each other. Says they can’t eat meals or play video games together. I’m a tad confused...they’re a quarantined team. Can’t they literally only be around each other?

Fascinating how a tenure that started with fans boasting UofL would now get every player from UK/Duke and that KP was directly responsible for the majority of Calipari’s wins ends with only 12 of his own in 2 years. One of the great blunders in sports history.
We will be making a change in leadership for our program.

I wasn't joking when I talked about it yesterday...the Reds are 0-3 since Satterfield tossed out the first pitch. If he would've thrown it out on Fri you don't get the Votto HRs, De La Cruz cycle etc. Remember Satt first Bengals game was the Damar Hamlin game. This isn't a joke.

Capers news is huge for Louisville. Hard to find too many holes in the roster. Even since spring the work they've done is impressive.
Tell me I'm wrong..70% of UofL fans will have the Cards 10-2, the other 30% at 9-3. Is that fair? Sure are no excuses. No "dealt a bad hand"...
