That was an extremely unprofessional response by Klein. Honestly, as someone who thinks all these sources everyone has are a bunch of BS, but the acerbic nature of this response kind of makes me think there might be something to it. Either that or the AD’s intentions of controlling all media interaction with the University are true. That whole thing jsut seemed so unnecessarily angry and defensive that I can’t help but wonder if there isn’t more too this now.

Why is Kenny commenting on football? He’s a basketball guy. Krag sucks and he better be gone.

He would be opening himself up to a shitstorm of criticism after making such a strong statement and being wrong about it.

Seriously though, I’m becoming increasingly disturbed with the adversarial position the athletic department takes in addressing an uneasy fan base. Obviously speculation will be running rampant for the rest of the season. That’s what happens when your program experiences a dramatic fall from grace. Blogs are driven by a devout fan base. By slamming a blog you are only pissing off the people that keep buying shitty black/red/white out shirts to support their team even when they’re obviously not any good and the country is in the midst of a serious economic contraction. Also, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a response like this (although maybe the first pointed towards a blog). One that more closely resembles displaced anger than effectively dispelling a rumor. I sincerely hope the department changes its approach in dealing with loyal fans in the future.

And screw krathorpe. I’ll believe what i want to believe…its a hell of a lot more fun than watching K’s futility get us pounded every weekend.

You don’t fuck with Louisville coaches.

KK says SK and TJ didn’t talk to each other about this. OK. Because the original blog at www.louisvillesportsbuzz.com DIDN’T SAY THEY DID. If you read the blog it says people from their respective camps talked, not SK and TJ.

So in essence KK has denied something that was never said. He can make his statement and tellthe truth without denying the actual post but creating the image that he has done so. It’s all how you word things. That’s a PR skill.

A couple of years ago I was at the corner of FH to pick up the half time stats and there was a delay because the UofL copier was broken and the first 100 plus copies were being run for Rocco. Two or three days later another game but same story,

I was at the front and said with a smile to Rocco “Wow, with all the money I pay in donations for my tickets I am amazed you can’t afford to get your copier fixed or replaced.”

He answered with a snarl “Then give up your tickets. There are plenty of people who will pay the donation and not complain.”

Wonder what he thinks about the complaints about Kragthorpe in comparison.
