Why did they play in Nashville?
Maybe he is worried about having to guard Liggins.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Go Toppers!! Louisville did not look good.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Darrel Griffith is not walking thru that door.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
WOOOO! Where are the Loserville fans now!!!!!
I can already hear the chants, “OVER-RATED!”
Go ‘Toppers!

WKU is my second favorite team, but no way is WKU better than VMI.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
I knew they were over rated! after watching them play morehead st close most of the game, and eastern in the pre-season very close as well, you could tell they were way over-rated
go tops!

It was a guaranteed win for UofL and a sellout in Nashville…unfortunately nobody came and they lost…LOL
November 30th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
i hope the liggens story dies…if BCG is ok with it, i am too

UK fills the stands in Vegas while Louisville can’t fill any seats in Nashville.
I can understand, hard to afford tickets when you spend all your money on Tattoos.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
I still can’t believe UK didn’t offer Pettigrew!!! I watched him in the Derby Classic and he was great. He’s another example of “one slipping through the cracks”
November 30th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
I’m a Senior as Western, but UK comes first…Vegas champions and Western beats Louisville. One of the best weekends ever!
November 30th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
As a freshman, Caracter could have shot Pitino in the face and not been kicked off the team.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Pettigrew was a big miss, but BCG was handicapped with all the dead weight that he inherited from Tubby. Slaughter and Pettigrew would both start for UK right now.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
9- HAHAHAHAHAHA!
November 30th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
BWAH HAHAA!!!!
November 30th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Pitino would have indefinately suspended Liggins for 12 hours
November 30th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Who cares? Call me when we beat UofL.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Seriously…Murray beat WKU by 28 a week ago. WKU looked terrible, including Slaughter and Pettigrew.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Why can’t UK get someone like AJ Slaughter… straight out of shelbyville? are you kiddin me?
November 30th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Where oh where is LoservillefanCraig??
November 30th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Oh LoservillefanCraig, where art thou? Loser.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Coach P… You deserved this one…
November 30th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Gotta love pitino’s tough discipline. What a freakin joke.

Somewhere in Bowling Green ERIC the RED is partying… alone.

easy cliff hawkins, when the website is slow just hit submit once.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
hhaha this is great, just fantastic.
only negative is that, when we beat UofL, it won’t look as good…
who am I kidding, there are no negatives
November 30th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
How bout them TOPS?! Damn I love seeing the JV team get beat! OUTstanding!
November 30th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Damn I love seeing the JV team get beat! OUTstanding! Way to go TOPS!

Pettigrew went to play at Xavier to start out last year, how could he be playing for WKU? Even if he transfered
he would have to sit out?
November 30th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Somewhere in Louisville, LoservillefanCraig is crying in his bedroom, but not to worry, as his mom is about to bring him a grilled cheese sandwich and a glass of choco moo moo.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
31: Pettigrew was at WKU last year. Its his 2nd year, never went to Xavier. Not sure who you are thinking of.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
LFC doesn’t even know there was a game, hit TV got stolen by DC, E-5, and T Will. They don’t even show mercy for fans.
November 30th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
31. I think you’re thinking of Jordan Crawford?
November 30th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Woohoo! Karma is a biatch, Ricky. Keep your rotten opinions to yourself next time.
November 30th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Best news of the weekend. LOL. I love it. We still have a long way to go- but let’s give it time- if we keep the right pieces and add what we have coming next year- this team could be good. I just want Liggins to get a full year of PT to get better. By the end of the year he could be great.
November 30th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Is this the schadenfreude thread?
If so, BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH (gasp) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH (gasp.. gasp…) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

#13 et al
Gillispie isn’t perfect. Trying to blame his not offering Pettigrew on Tubby is lame beyond recognition. Let’s just say he screwed up and move on.
Pettigrew is relentless.
November 30th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Everyone knows that Pitino lost his magic touch right after the 1997 NCAA championship game.
Games like this must hurt him knowing that he could have been closing in on 700 career wins this year if he had stayed at UK. Instead, he’s playing nanny to a bunch of me-first And-1 wannabes.
November 30th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
VMI got beat the other day against a team you wouldnt think they would lose too, and they were held to only 60 somethin points. So its hard to say who is better, WKU or VMI?
November 30th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
What about my man Steffphon!? Hell yeah! One of my Louisville buddy’s texted me before the game and said: “Western is terrible.” So, what does that make Louisville now? God awful? LMAO.
November 30th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Number 10 your right i was there too and he was a great player i mean he obviously wasn’t no josh carrier or Brandon Stockton no offense guys.
December 1st, 2008 at 7:27 am
Slaughter wanted to go to UofL. Pettigrew would be the kind of player everybody on this board would be bitching about for being on the roster.
Maybe we should have just recruited the team that beat WKU by 30? No love for Matt Fraelix? Why didn’t we recruit him?
