The House of Blue

I'm glad you agree with my description of Petrino, and FWIW, I have yet to find anyone who directly refutes it. They usually just respond with a question that doesn't pertain to Petrino. I will say this. Unlike many of the rubes across the various UK boards who seem to be "Petrino or slit their wrists"....I will support him if he is hired just like I will anyone else. My opinion of him won't change. He will still be a stupid, ethically challenged, pathologically lying SOB....but he will be OUR stupid, ethically challenged, pathologically lying SOB, and he will have my support. BTW, to ansewr your question, I would describe our football program as down. It's usually what folks in my neck of the woods say when their favorite sports team is struggling.

You realize that footballcat65 (here) and steakcat (CI) are the same poster, right? The only "confirmation" outside of a single poster has been the unbelievable tale that someone talked with "Bob" Petrino on the phone during Thanksgiving dinner with his family.

If Petrino is announced as coach tomorrow, I will patronize footballcat65's business, whatever it may be.

I agree also and you will know how much if you have read my thread on him. I dont put things the way you do but the sentment that I have is the same as yours. He is ethically challenged and will do the same to UK as he has done to the other people that have employed him. An interesting stat that I saw recently is that BPs SEC record is 17-15, if thats true then thats hardly a ringing endorsement of his coaching ability.

What site?

Some guy using Londoncats is saying its all but a done deal.If thats true what about the guy that said his sources told him it was a done deal 2 weeks ago? I wish this whole thing was over with. If my source is wrong then it will be the first time since my buddies and I played ball together at UK almost 40 years ago that they have been wrong and told me something that didnt turn out to be correct. I will post an apology on this site if BP is hired. I got the info about Londoncats on the Rivals site.

This whole thing about BP has been a battle of the sources. Whose source really knows and who is just talking rubbish. I think this will be over by the 1st of the week but that just my opinion not from "my sources". They do say it will be over soon and it cant come quick enough for me.

He said Petrino. Man idk what to believe and frankly I don't want to get my hopes up just to be let down. So frustrating.

Maybe if you pretend that sexual harassment claims can only come from hiring practices. Unfortunately, that is not true.

C'mon, sleepy. You and your boys need to start texting or emailing. Much faster.

So what are you saying you'll be one of the lawyers he hires? Joking guys don't take me seriously.

All of that is probably true, I know you know a lot more about legal matters than I do. However, I think back to hiring Gillispie. He was a lawsuit of enormous proportions waiting to happen. Any university takes a chance on any employee they hire. I do know that a university the size and power of UK would be covered by multiple insurance policies and also UK being a public institution would be less of risk than a private school.

But you see, the issue with your factual scenario is that there is no allegations or pending lawsuit against BP that puts UK on "notice".

I would imagine that if no lawsuit against BP is filed (what's Arky's statute of limitations for this?) than its really a non-issue.

That said - you still didnt answer my question about having evidence that BP is known to engage in "sexual harassment" (legal definition of that) in the office place (outside of the issues with his mistress) - which you indiectly implied in your original response to me.

Finally, do you think the guy will do it again? Or are you saying that anyone ever accused or is under suspicion of sexual harassment, that they will never find employment again?
