In case you missed the story earlier, Louisville guard Preston Knowles has been accused of punching the father of his girlfriend. The pictures above show the after effects of the punches, and it doesnt look good. According to reports, Preston got into a disagreement with his girlfriend about (I am not making this up) a hairbrush and then punches flew when the stepfather got involved. Knowles says he was acting in self-defense, but either way, the situation is not good.
A hairbrush? Really?

#4, you don’t know what you are talking about.
May 25th, 2010 at 9:37 pm
This group of filthy cards are really going to make the city proud. Good thing they have that new arena to showcase these fine human beings……
May 25th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
I heard Ricky Three Stacks is giving the hair brush 3K to have an abortion. Any truth to that rumor?
May 25th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
BBBBWWWAAAAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!
May 25th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
WOW ! This has to be the final nail in that coffin. As much as I hate UL it is honestly time for a change there. Its not like there Tennessee Football and can get away with this stuff.
Card fans, you got to admit thing are out of control there. That is if this is true, which I dont doubt it is one bit.
Damn, this is almost surreal how fast that program is deteriorating (SP?)
CFT

@ 10 that would be funny as hell if that poor girl wasnt hurt like she was. If it was my kid, he wouldnt face a trial, I would. Still your point is dead on.
May 25th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
10) STOP IT UR KILLIN ME!!! BBBBWWWAAAAHAHAHAHHAHA !!!
May 25th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
I am sure this will be on Mike and Mike, First and Ten, Colin Cowherd, SVP, Around the Horn, and PTI. I know its not as big a story as UK’s GPA or Cousins bad attitude but surely if all these ran those stories it will pick right up on this.
May 25th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
Sorry meant ESPN First take
May 25th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
i can’t wait to hear what the hairbrush says when it takes the stand …
May 25th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
Forgive my post at 13 , I assumed it was the girl he hit…..my bad.
Still, what a dumb ass..
May 25th, 2010 at 10:07 pm
With Peyton Siva’s troubles in China, this is the first shot a UofL player has hit in weeks. Zing!
May 25th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
@ 21 LMAO ouch, that will leave a mark !
May 25th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
#21, Cold, but funny
May 25th, 2010 at 10:10 pm

May 25th, 2010 at 10:16 pm
@ 24 YEAH , I wonder that myself…I miss it sooooo… lol
May 25th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
matt, you really shouldve got into that action. made it a royal rumble. you could use an extra hairbrush or two
May 25th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
Ricky Three Stacks says he is going to take P.K. off the Swope Advantage Plan.
How much embarasement does Louisville have to go through with the ongoing
James “147 Stacks” Ramsey, Ricky “Three Stacks” Pitino & Tom “Little Ricky” Jurich tragedies?
Knowles had better be glad he was not in Indiana or is ass would have been tazered!
May 25th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
20. Aren’t all father of UL players’ GF’s UK fans? That’s how they tell the players to stay away from their daughters.
May 25th, 2010 at 10:31 pm
Pow! rite in the kisser.. Pow! rite in the kisser… Pow! rite in the kisser.
That’s what he gets for letting his daughter go out with a Louisville player.
Seriously tho, moral of the story?
Don’t touch a *****s hair brush….
May 25th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
Stay classy Cards!

It is Veggie Tales only with more punching.
May 25th, 2010 at 10:42 pm
Look I know the Tards have been getting a bunch of needed flak, but in a way this is kind of sad. Preston was doing really well from the attitude he had when he went to GRC and alot of it had to do with the influence Pitino had on him. Basically Pitino set ground rules down for him to go to Louisville and one of them was not coming to Winchester so he could distance himself from the “bad crowd” and it seemed to actually been working over the years. Unfortunately, something like this happens. I guess the one good thing is he wasn’t dumb enough to punch his gf.
May 25th, 2010 at 10:45 pm
34. Shut up! Hairbrush dustup = hilarious!
May 25th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
amare almost just posterized gasol worse than i have ever seen. it was off the back rim though
lol
May 25th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
Look I will admit its a stupid thing to get in a fight over, I won’t argue with you on that one.
May 25th, 2010 at 10:49 pm
The real issue…
Will she leave him?
He only hit her stepdad who was standing up for her…
May 25th, 2010 at 10:49 pm
Oh where, is my hair brush, oh where is my hair brush? Oh where, oh where, oh where , oh where, oh where………Is my hair brush? ;.))
May 25th, 2010 at 10:54 pm
41. It can only help his shooting, it certainly can’t hurt! Maybe they can discuss it on their bus trip during their NIT games.
May 25th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
Is a Fro-Pick considered a hairbrush?
May 25th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
Go to courierjournal.com and tell me if you see ANYTHING about this!
May 25th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
Good lord. If Preston’s basketball career doesn’t work out he looks to have a heck of right hook. WOW
May 25th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
Louisville, giving community colleges everywhere a bad name.
May 25th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
#45, your right no where to be found, but they are happy to put UK’s GPA on the front page…
May 25th, 2010 at 11:57 pm
Maybe Pat Forde is doing a feature story on this. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
May 26th, 2010 at 12:05 am
just left cj.com. nothing about knowles. The cj may as well be UbeL’s school paper….. still laughing, my face hurts, my side hurts, cant stop…… BBBBWWWAAAAHAHAHAHHAHA !!!
May 26th, 2010 at 12:22 am
Imagine if DeMarcus Cousins did this, front line of every paper and sports show. Obviously it’s partly because he’s more important than any of the cards, but still they would rip him for weeks.
May 26th, 2010 at 12:26 am
#51 If DeMarcus Cousins got that many punches on a dude, he’d be dead. But he aint a *****, so he wouldn’t get crazy over a hairbrush.
May 26th, 2010 at 12:39 am
I forgot, he has been working on his boxing.
May 26th, 2010 at 5:31 am
Typical thug mentality!!!!!!!!!!
May 26th, 2010 at 6:51 am
Will the KFC YUM CENTER(still makes me LOL) have a jail like they do in Philly at Veteran’s Stadium? If not, someone might want to suggest that to UL administration! You never know when one of UL’s future parolees are set to go off!
May 26th, 2010 at 7:38 am
Interesting how in the past year the UK Programs and the UL Programs have gone in complete 180 Degree Opposite directions.
May 26th, 2010 at 7:45 am
55- The only difference is that the jail at the Vet was for fans….. at the Yuck Center it’s gonna have to be for UofL players.
May 26th, 2010 at 8:00 am
A woman with a hair pick can be very dangerous. STAY CLASSY LOUISVILLE.
May 26th, 2010 at 8:05 am
UL basketball. What a bunch of losers. Jennings (arrested for fight, Smith (arrested for fight, kid out of wedlock), Samuels (sucks), Sosa (sucks, kid out of wedlock), Knowles(just getting started). But we had a low GPA and Cal cheats.
May 26th, 2010 at 10:04 am
Dammit bigpoppa, you stole my “This is going to be a real black-eye for the program” pun. So now I have to fall back on my back-up “Sounds like the situation got a little hairy”
May 26th, 2010 at 10:04 am
What do you tell a guy with two black eyes about messing with your hairbrush?
Nothing. You’ve already told two times.
May 26th, 2010 at 11:35 am
Had one of my daughter’s boyfriends was to even look like they were going to hit me, I would’ve grabbed my Louisville Slugger and aimed for the cheap seats with that melon of his.
May 26th, 2010 at 11:47 am
Dang….Knowles I’ll buy you a hairbrush man. Chill out.
May 26th, 2010 at 12:25 pm
He should be dismissed immediately. That was sickening. For a man to hit a women is bad but to beat her repeatedly like this is unforgiveable. If Rick Pitino keeps him around the how could anybody have any respect for him (I haven’t had any for some time).
That program is spiraling on the court and has hit rock bottom off with ticket scamming assistants, extorted rape accused coaches, taze-gate, and now this. Wow its bad. Lets see if anything gets done.
May 26th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
I thought he hit a women whoops. He should still serve a heavy suspension not Pitino’s “indefinite” or having him “earn” his way back on the team in time for the UK game.
