UVA vs. Louisville thread

Yeah, good call. But, unlike the old joke, the Pope is Mormon, not Catholic. (though we got Bronco)

Man this actually sucks if he is going to get fired. I liked having him and the Ville as Villains. He was cocky, a bit brash, and demonstrative, and it’s always great to shut those teams down with a little Uva magic.

But he’s not a BYU alum. I’m sure it’ll be harder to convince him to leave now that they are headed to the Big 12 but Pope’s not a lock BYU lifer. UK is probably a bigger reason he wouldn’t take Louisville than him being at his religion’s flagship school.

Um- why bring up Breonna Taylor protests when it has nothing to do with basketball? There is no need to try and undermine that cause and cite it as a negative and relate it to Louisville donors. :crazy_face: Not very slick.

Told you.

Umm the context was that athletic donors withdrew because their basketball players participated in Breonna Taylor protests. So it is basketball related?

I’m just saying that’s a pretty effed up reason to withdraw funds and speaks to the backward-ness of some of their fanbase.

Wasn’t trying to start anything or slide anything in.

Their fanbase on all forums is all about Pearl or Musselman. They don’t want any “mid major projects”. Small vocal minority also serious about wanting to rehire Pitino short term.

Anyway back on topic is that Louisville doesn’t have a President or Athletic Director either at the moment.

Got to be chaos there right now.

There’s a tiny part of me that wouldn’t mind Bruce Pearl because it would give us the opportunity to beat him… but no. Keep him away from here.

Also, Will Wade? Is that a joke? Louisville would have to be morons to invite that upon themselves.

I don’t know a damn thing about Pearl and his past. Why would be want the Louisville job? Seems like he’s got a great thing going at Auburn

Says something about the whole SEC is surpassing the ACC argument, if true

Better facilities, more money, not little brother to the football program, and I’d imagine more donor support. With that being said I’d be surprised if he left.

So fitting his last game was against us. We own that team so damn much. In fact, they better consult with us in their coaching search.

I’d love to have slick Rick back in the conference, but I assume that’s a no go.

Louisville doesn’t care about the NCAA anymore as we’ve seen with other programs not giving a single f&%# as well.
