Pitino couldn't have said this with a straight face

Related to Pitt and Syracuse leaving the Big East for the ACC:

"My problem is not them leaving," he said. "My problem is you did it in 48 hours. Don't run away with a girl after one date when you've been dating someone else for three or four years. You've been dating this woman for 30 years, show a little respect."

I about choked on my breakfast when I read that quote this morning. Nice self-awareness Slick Rick.

Really Rick?!?

 

[Holy Man]

Bad choice of analogies, Coach.

Priceless stuff, Pewter. That comment gives pretty good insight into just how clueless and egotistical some of these coaches are.

Strangely, I don't see any mention of Pitino's scandal on his wikipedia page. Did he get online and edit that out??

Haha, that's awesome.
