Rick Pitino to visit UNLV

Recommended Posts

I say do it. Pitino jolts the system and gets the Rebs into the mix for 4-5 years, and this in turn raises the profile of the conference and helps the other teams raise their game. Then when the axe comes down UNLV crashes for a bit while the others just received a nice boost.

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

Pitino to Vegas! Here’s a new, refreshing out-of-the-box idea that hasn’t been discussed before!

I think the last time RP was coming to Vegas they ended up with Marvin Menzies.

It's funny how some of them still want Reggie.

I feel bad for DRF. She comes into a situation where a completely unqualified idiot right before her extends the football coach, for no reason really. And who also runs the worst coaching search ever and hires a basketball coach who no one wanted. 

What’s funny, is Menzies probably just bought Sanchez another year. The Mack is going to be a ghost town this season if Saturday was a preview of things to come. DRF needs to get a name hire for basketball to get that spark back. 

 

This 5-6 year plan bullshit isn’t going to fly at unlv. Every loss this season, Menzies is going to use that excuse all season. Just shoveling horse manure on the fan base.

I thought it was before Pitino jumped the shark ... so before he made sweet love to a waitress in a booth out of wedlock? And was caught cheating for the umpteenth time?

That was the first time. When Dave rice was fired pitino was in town to talk about it when Louisville’s president was thinking he was going to cut him loose. (The pres found out he would be gone before Pitino). It was the following year Pitino got fired, we had Menzies by then. 

Somebody just needs to send a limo for Rick’s wife.

He wants to go back the the NBA. Wouldn't surprise me to see him end up with the Lakers. I don't think Luke is long for that chair.

I had also thought Menzies had bought Sanchez another year, but not necessarily because of the lower salary... my thought  was that it would be because basketball is our bread and butter more so than football. Either way, I agree.

I can't stand Pitino ever since he screwed UNLV hoops the first time he flirted with them back in 2001, and we ended up with Spoon. That was even before he contributed to last year's historically embarrassing coach search. Although the incompetent admin can be blamed for both of those instances that doesnt excuse Slick Rick in my eyes.

And I havent even brought up yet that he's one of the sleaziest scumbags in NCAA history to the point it would make Dave Bliss blush.

All that said, i'd give my right nut to get Marvelously Mediocre Marv a firm push out the door and sould welcome Pitino with open arms at this sad point in UNLV history.
