In typical Reusse fashion, he blames other people for believing his tweet, instead of apologizing: I slapped myself upside the head for such an oversight and then sent out a Tweet, “SOURCE: Alvarez targeting Richard Pitino as replacement for Bo Ryan in 2016.’’ Anyone who has been involved in Twitter byplay with me for the past year would have chuckled over this. Everyone else should have said, “Why in Hades would Barry Alvarez be interested in a coach coming off a lousy season?’’ They should have said, “That can’t be true,’’ and joined in the chuckle. Pitino to Wisconsin. Sorry. This reached my threshold for obvious satire and/or sarcasm. I can’t be responsible for non-followers who took it seriously.
