what in the dreamsicle in going on with that derby outfit

by k.f.powers.uofL on Apr 20, 2009 6:20 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Not to be sexist or anything,

but this doesn’t, uh, look good for our coach, I fear. The lady could be said to be a walking advertisment, for shall we say, practicing the act of procreating the species. Yet her attorney, Mr. Clay, was just on the TV saying that “as far as an action against Coach Pitino is concerned, I don’t think she has one.”

That doesn’t mean that she can’t allege affair or something, and that alone, true or not, will sully the coach’s reputation. Or perhaps she’s just nuts.

Or perhaps she’s just nuts.

Thats my assessment of the woman…

Come on

She looks like a gold-digging froot loop; I cannot imagine she sounds credible. I mean, Fox 41 thought better of showing her flaky story. ’Nuff said.

I think very few will believe her, and those that do never liked Pitino to begin with.

hey, shut the hell up you dont even know karen! she is such a sweet lady and you dont even know half the stuff that is goin on. and you ass holes on here obviously dont understand that her kids read this and they see you calling there mother a gold digger well keep your comments to your self!

I love Pitino as a coach just as much as the next U of L fan, but I have to disagree that her alleging affair will sully the coach’s reputation. I’d say it’s pretty common knowledge that Pitino is anything but faithful.

Hey Karen

Home Depot called. They want their vest back.

HA!

that cracked me up, Lisa. Good one. She is attractive but someone needs to tell her that, if you want an overall CLASSY appearance, LESS IS MORE. (and I don’t mean her mini skirt)

For whatever reason,

this whole mess got me to post again. I still read CC all the time, but I suppose I didn’t post much from the presidential primaries til now.

and I’m most studious about all your comments on T Clay

by frankpos on Apr 20, 2009 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes she's somewhat attractive,

but she wears more makeup than a drag queen. She wears outfits that say “Look at me, from a distance I may look 25, but up close my mileage may vary.” She’s an attention whore personified.

I do not know her, and I may be wrong about her, but I’ve known women like that who have used their looks to manipulate men and get what they want. And these women did not age gracefully either on the inside or the outside. Linda, do you know the type I’m talking about??

Now a stunt she’s pulled has really backfired on her. Well, if she’s charged and found guilty, she’ll get hers.

in golf, we refer to a woman like her as a sand wedge, she looks good from 100 out

by DoctorsofDunk1980 on Apr 21, 2009 9:54 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I absolutely DO know the type you are talking about....

it’s sad when women don’t age gracefully. It’s pitiful. They think people are looking at them admiringly when, in some cases, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. I hope the whole story just fades away. Go CARDS!

Alie Reynolds

I don’t know if any of you have been following the lie fest at bleacherreport.com, but it has been a sight to behold. Alie Reynolds wrote a slanderous article that had no sources and it made the rounds. Editors there have apparently called her out, but her lies swept across the web. She even spammed here under several names.

Another little liar named Jonathan Lintner posted that Pitino was doing many terrible things. This goofball claimed he had sources and his bio states he is a journalism student at Western Kentucky. Many of us called him out at ITV and his story has now vanished, although he claims he will update it with real sources.

The organized internet effort to smear Pitino was quick and effective, but those who are willing can do something about it can act. Lintner still has many of his articles posted at bleacherreport.com and I have decided to contact Western Kentucky’s journalism school and report his actions to the school and the school paper. If nothing else, his record needs to reflect a flailing grade on libel and slander.

Internet Smear of Pitino?

Look…Listen…I know why you have your…uhm….group therapy sessions in broad daylight…and I know why you can’t sleep at night……..Karen Sypher. Rick’s alleged squeeze looks pretty hot to me. Come on dudes, aren’t ya being just a little hypocritical throwing her under the Pitino train? Ha ha ha ha

Sure.

I mean it was just last week that I was extorting some money from my sugar momma, and now here I am condemning this woman for doing it. Actually, could you identify the hypocracy for me, because I am missing it entirely.

by 83fan on Apr 21, 2009 3:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

like it or not...

alot of men will sleep with any woman, it doesnt matter if the man is a cleb or not….ie. hugh grant….eddie murphy….bill clinton….i dont think any one here would be that surprised….and if he did sleep with her maybe he will be more selective the next time, or better yet maybe he shouldnt be putting himself situations where things like this can happen…the crime is not the alleged affair it is the extortion…i like pitino as a coach, but there has been way to many situations involving women, and we all know this….our university does not need these constant clouds of his infidelity always surrounding us..potential players read this stuff, so do sponsers and advertisers….its low class and we deserve better….where theres smoke theres fire, i hope this straightens him up…our coaches need to be top notch both on and off the court…

I seriously doubt this will turn any recruits away

Let’s keep it real for a second: UL is not typically recruiting the types of kids that attend Duke or Harvard. Most of our recruits come from families with middle class or lower backgrounds. I think this story separates Rick from being just another rich basketball coach. He has problems in his life too just like the rest of us. I doubt any recruits will care about any “cloud of infidelity”—they care more about Coach P’s ability to win and improve their chances of getting drafted in the NBA. If its true he has marital problems then its just another humanizing side to Coach P that perhaps the recruits can relate to.

...but there has been way to many situations involving women...

I don’t know this to be true. Can’t think of an instance where a single, verifiable name has been linked to Coach Pitino. But then I’m old and out of the loop, so to speak.

ORANGE OUTFIT

Some of the comments are hilarious! Like the Home Depot and Hooter’s – but I especially like the one about the orange jumpsuit! This woman is a nutcase who sees $ signs from a celebrity – she deserves whatever she gets!

by moparmemaw on Apr 21, 2009 11:39 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Okay

I’ve had two different people tell me there are rumors in certain circles (take with a HUGE grain of salt) that the extortion attempt didn’t have to do with an affair/abortion, but rather that there may have been some improprieties with the betting line of some games. DEAR GOD I HOPE THIS ISN’T TRUE.

FWIW, I looked it up and it looks like the Cards were 22-14-1 ATS this year, which doesn’t look that bad. However they failed to cover in three of their four tournament games.

Again, this would be a nightmare of epic proportions. Please people, assuage my fears here.

I miss the old days of the internet when men were men, hot girls were middle aged men, and hot underage girls were FBI agents.....

by jch24 on Apr 21, 2009 1:02 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

No reason to worry. This has been a common rumor that seems to gain traction in the UK fan community following many of our seasons (I specifically remember Cisco being accused of it). When people hear that the FBI is involved and don’t know why, it is one of the first ideas that comes to their minds, and this year it has extra stick because the FBI is involved. Ask yourself if Pitino would have called the FBI to investigate allegations of point shaving by his own players.

by 83fan on Apr 21, 2009 1:39 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

interesting

however if this were true, karen would/could not be behind this in any capacity other than a mouth piece, and im pretty sure she would role over on who ever actually figured it out…covering the spread would be way out or her knowledge base…[if you knew her you would know this]

by card on Apr 21, 2009 1:11 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Oh, I don't doubt that

If true I would imagine it would be a scenario of her overhearing something or her then-husband confiding in her. Neither seems likely, but the mere prospect scare the hell out of me.

Doubtful

So far all the reports have gone out of their way to point out that the extortion attempts were aimed at personal matters between the accuser and Coach Pitino and had nothing to do with the University or the basketball team.

Get over it

Karen Sypher graduated from UK in 1988. So there you go, she’s been on Calipari’s staff since day 1. She’s been sent to Louisville to tear down our great program and to take all the negative energy to Freedom Hall.

Dam anybody could see that coming! Rick is Louisville Basketball, where would we be without Rick Pitino? Probably still in Conference USA! Remember that and never ever try to trash his name, because the entire media will make sure the truth comes out.

I kinda feel sorry for her though, because she will have to move far away from here!!!!

by Louisville on Apr 21, 2009 5:28 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

No Way She's 49 yrs old!

Karen Sypher graduated from Moore High School in 1978 and didn’t go to college. Why do UK Fans always get blamed?

by heartdoc on Apr 21, 2009 8:18 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Karen Sypher is Adolph Rupp's Great Grand daughter

She is trying to claim back her pappy’s legacy the hard way!!! Guess she’s mad that Coach P didn’t go back to Lexingon!!!!

Silly Wildcat fans should know where the real dynasty is!!!!

Do tell! What's she like?

BTW, I picked up a Louisville Cardinal newspaper last week when I went to the Speed Museum, and I saw a few photos you took. It was the final basketaball issue—kind of a season-in-review edition. I was duly impressed.

I think she is screwed....

“[Clay] has not helped me,” Karen Sypher said earlier in the day by phone. "He tells me to keep my mouth shut and he’ll keep me out of prison. This is ridiculous. What have I got to lose here?

Clay has supposedly quit as being her lawyer.

The more that comes out, the crazier this woman seems.

Here we have a woman who has supposedly told “200 people in the last year and a half” including a Fox affiliate and ESPN, and yet nobody will repeat what she’s saying because the claims are “so unsubstantiated.” On top of that, she’s got a husband who’s not backing her up, polygraphs that she’s failed, and countless people who know her personally calling her a loon.

Now she’s got a lawyer who won’t let her talk and a mother who’s sounding a lot like certain forum and blog posters and has basically barricaded herself inside her house. I can just see her standing around with a broom peeking through the mini-blinds. As for the attorney, well… it’s not good when your defense attorney is basically telling you to shut your mouth if you don’t want to go to jail, and it’s definitely bad if he quits, because that opens up the potential to be disbarred. You’ve got to be doing some crazy stuff to make an attorney take that chance.

I just want this to go away. Whatever she says is either going to be inconsequential compared to extortion, or so off base that it will serve as nothing more than a headache. With football starting, the basketball season ending so poorly, and now news of Jeremy Tyler, this is just a PITA.

Karen: go away, please.

I have noticed a sharp decline in chatter

regarding this ridiculous rumor…especially that one (two) poster on this site. I too just want this to fade away like it never happened. Anyone think RP agrees? I wonder if the stress caused by this had any bearing on how he coached in the last few games of the NCAA?

by twistedwedge on Apr 24, 2009 7:40 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh, I think it definitely had an a bearing on...

the last game…how could it not? The fact that she had the calls made during the roughest strech of the season is not only extortion but terrorism…..had he been able to concentrate on BB instead of his personal problems, we may have been able to win it all. We’ll never know for sure but now we can always wonder…..
