Wonder if Rick will be in attendance when we play Minnesota in Brooklyn on Thanksgiving.

Assuming you are talking about his son. This article has a small quote from him in it.

Pitino got $1.5M of the Adidas contract with Louisville last year while the University got $10,000. "Athletic director Tom Jurich said the proceeds are "for the athletic department. It's for these student-athletes. It's been earmarked for them." Of course, Pitino probably spend all of his $1.5M on the student-athletes, right?

98% of a $39 million dollar contract with Adidas went directly to Pitino. WOW!

Phoenix Suns fired Earl Watson after an 0-3 start. The local sports broadcaster mentioned Pitino as a possible replacement. Don't think this was based on any inside information, just speculation.

Calipari always tries to throw in a UMASS reference. One of our best non- alums.

That place is right on Indian Creek CC which is a man made island in the inter coastal that was built for the golf course and a few mansions. The course is in my personal top 3, so if you have the money I highly recommend you take a look..
