05, the problem is that Mooney has sucked the life out of the program, so everything is going to gravitate to and focus on his failures. As EL noted he was blind sided by the decision.
I kid, I kid. Believe it or not until I became a UR student Louisville was my team. Was at the championship game when Luke Hancock put the team on his back.
only 3/4 of the beer is warm -- in one container? That's a pretty good trick -- you'll have to show me how that's done
How ridiculous. He got his degree. He was good to fans young and old. He stayed out of trouble.
I suppose you'll be yelling "traitor" at Blake Francis every home game next season.
Louisville accepts over 70% of the students who apply, yet only graduates around 50%. Add to that the money they illegally pay to recruit athletes, I'd say it's safe to say that his classroom attendance is, at the very best, marginal.
You must be mistaking me for one of the many people on this board who root against the Spiders, are happy when we lose and would like to see players transfer. I will cheer on anyone wearing a Spider uniform and looking forward to watching Frances help us compete for a slot in the NCAA Tournament each of the next 2 years. It is a great time to be a Spider!
Name one. Yet another false flag.
So, to use your "leaving wife" analogy - she's a "traitor" if she leaves you, but if another man's wife leaves him to be with you, she's someone to be lauded. Got it.
Classes...maybe. Class...no. Mack will do well there but if you employ Pitino and Petrino at same time you kind of deserve a decade of athletics purgatory. And Pitino with that priest always on his bench. LOL.
Why can't it be as simple as rooting for Khwan while he was here, not rooting for him or not caring what he does for another school when he leaves, and then cheering for Francis when he gets here?
Not sure why you would be surprised by this. Shouldn't we cheer for the guys that are here?
It can be. That's not what he said, though. He called KF a "traitor" and said he'd root against him (technically, his team). I'll certainly root for Blake next season.
In his follow-up, he fell back on his tired old straw man of "many people on this board <insert fallacy here>."
Yes.
I can't fualt a player that is not
It is healthy for everyone involved if a player that does not look like he is going to get playing time to moves on. It allows the player to hopefully find a better fit and it allows the basketball program to add an additional player. He seems like a nice kid and I am sure it was a difficult decision for him. I wish him the best going forward.

Folks used this same philosophy when ododa left, that somehow he betrayed the program. He spent four years here and was going to see his minutes reduced in favor of TJ.
These guys don’t owe the program anymore than we owe them as near as I can tell. Coaches seem perfectly comfortable recruiting over guys and or softly pushing them out. It’s part of the dynamic unfortunately. I’m not going to fault a guy if he thinks he’ll get a better shot somewhere else. Coaches leave for greener pastures all the time.

Khwan doesn't leave a winning program. He left because our program stinks and he wants to play 1 year for a team that has a chance to dance. If we had a great returning squad, Khwan would have stayed here and played it out.
I don't fault Khwan one iota. I think his leaving the program as he did was probably the biggest harbringer of what we have this year. Khwan had a front row seat to our program what he had returning and new talent coming in.
A very few of us have chosen to piss all over Khwan and then talk about how much they love and support our kids. Nope, you love Mooney for some reason, everything else in the program, fans and yes the players, entirely disposable assets. Khwan was a really good player for us, better than 75% of our current roster, but he should only play 15 minutes for us. Get real.

26th in NET ranking, which is 7th highest in the ACC. Considering the turmoil from the Pitino ouster, they're doing better than expected. They have grit that can't be measured by rankings. I think they'll be there.
Khwan getting the start today and playing solid D as Louisville beats down UNC in Chapel Hill on national television.

Louisville would have won by a lot more with Wojcik starting instead of Fore...
I miss Khwan as a Spider and definitely think he would make UR better this year. I’m also happy to see Khwan getting opportunities to play an ACC schedule and contribute to his team’s success, but let’s not pretend that Khwan is any more than a high quality defensive role player on a well-coached and disciplined Chris Mack team. He is not THE reason UL pounded UNC today.
Yep, you're exactly right. And the fact that he would give up a starting spot here to take a reduced role elsewhere says all you need to know about our program.
