Once football gets to the point where it wins two national titles...the conversation will roll all year along about it, too. I'm a football guy, and want so badly for us to get back to the annual bowl trip scenario and top 25 rankings. Yeah, we're doing it the "right way" currently...but I miss those trips to Jacksonville and Miami. As far as total respect for Cardinal Athletics on a national basis...Tom Jurich is widely recognized as one of the best AD's out there, the WBB program has made significant strides over the past several years and volleyball makes the NCAA Tournament every year. Football improvement would be great, but Syracuse stays in the national limelight and they stink at football, too. Same with UConn. Will we ever reach Florida magnitute? Probably not for a long time given the current state of affairs... I doubt we’ll ever stop talking about basketball all year long because it is the most successful sport we’ve ever had at UofL.

Of course, that requires a winning football program and a fan base that is equally avid about the king of college sports.

I agree that he has met his match with Sypher; they both love the camera...

He has met his match with Sypher because she loves the cameras too.This situation has opened an ugly circle of events with Pitino and his handlers -- Rick was able to keep it quiet for 6 years.... I am afraid other circumstances may surface. He is tarnished and keeping quiet isn't easy for this guy. Do you really think he gets it??? He has met his match
