Good thing your a football conference now!!!!!

If Jim Calhoun didn’t retire UConn would like exactly like Syracuse.

Cuse living rent free in Yukon fans' heads.

Don't worry we'll be back.

The only thing I miss about UConn is the routine as$ kicking we'd put on them.

U of L has won the last 5 meetings, and 9 of the last 10. Hold a series advantage of 11 - 6.

I will say that it was fun giving UK fans crap when they'd lose the championship to a team we beat by 30.

I actually like UConn. It was always an easy win.

How does it feel to have a football team even Duke laughs at? Maybe you should just sue to get in like last time.

A name that’s getting a lot of mention around town is Baylor’s Scott Drew.

I still believe the job in the end will be Kenny Payne. He wanted it when UofL hired Mack but he was an assistant at UK at that time. A basketball coach could be the second coming of John Wooden and want the job but if he coached at UK, UofL wouldn’t hire him. Being a Louisville alum Payne knew he had to leave UK before he would ever get a shot in Louisville.

I would have to think Kenny is the favorite. He’s an alum and the truth is a black head basketball coach would help heal some of the wounds from the Breonna Taylor situation in Louisville.

This is an important hire for Louisville basketball if you disregard two interim coaches, David Padgett (Pitino’s who took over when Rick was fired in October 2017) and Howard Stacy (who took over mid season when Peck Hickman became in 1971), since 1944 Louisville has only had 4 head basketball coaches.

Edit: I took a quick look. Since 1944 Syracuse has had 5 ( 6 but one was interim.) Kansas has had 6.
Kentucky and North Carolina have had 7 while Indiana has had 11.

Amazingly Syracuse has only had 8 head coaches in 122 years!

Actually Howard Stacey was an interim coach between John Dromo and Denny Crum during the 1970-1971 season, when Coach Dromo had a heart attack. Dromo had succeeded Hickman and was here for about 3.5 years (from 1968 to 1970). Hickman had been coach since 1944 (to 1967). We basically went for 70+ years with 3 coaches of long periods (Hickman, Crum, Pitino) and one for only 3.5 years till now..

Just made it to 11.
