The Goat Pen

And when I say long term, I mean 15 or so years. Went back to his time as an assistant under CM Newton.

I got caught up on it via Wiki. Yeah, they started the affair in 1970 and it ended in 1985. She stayed working for/with him through 1992, when she sued for sexual harassment after the black eye. She then alleged that he hit her then and one other time in the 80s. Weird story.

And, for the record, he still denies hitting her on purpose. Do I believe him? No, not really. Sprewell once said (sometime after choking PJ) that there was only one coach he was ever scared of, and that was Wimp.

I just wish I had his fashion sense

He was a dapper dresser, no doubt. But I wish he had found a waitress at Cracker Barrel to fuck instead of an employee at UA. We would have easily had another 10 years outta him.

I tried to find a picture of it but I remember Pitino went out and had a jacket custom made in the same plaid style that Wimp favored and wore it to the UK/Bama game.

Wimp thought it was hilarious.

Pitino and Wimp were friends. One of Wimp's best teams was in 1987-8 (I think). We were the #2 seed behind Georgetown in the South bracket. We faced Pitino's Providence team in the S16. We were something like 28-4 and SEC tourney and regular season champs that year, iirc. After we lost, Wimp said that Providence was the best coached team he had ever seen and to watch out for that Pitino feller. He was going to be a HoF coach.

"But I wish he had found a waitress at Cracker Barrel to fuck instead of an employee at UA."

I'd say choosing an employee at UA is basically the same as picking someone from the cracker barrel...

Did we ever discuss Pitino's outfit and unshaven state when they played UNC this year? He had on what seemed to be a very pale florescent pink suit and a two day stubble beard. He looked like an aged, color blind metrosexual...

No, no it's not, hedge.

One would be an affair. The other is workplace harassment. Plus, the chicks at Cracker Barrel can take a punch.

I was referring to UA as a cracker barrel...

UK fans have been commenting on the status of Pitino's health for quite some time now. He went to the Mayo clinic about 4 years ago for something he wouldn't talk about (maybe longer, I forget) and he's been appearing a little more gaunt each year.

I'm gonna go with Hepatitis C

I know. Your post was off target on multiple fronts. I just picked one and went with it.

I'm at Lonestar for lunch. Ordered the steak salad. Asked for extra blue cheese crumbles on the salad. Waitress grimaces and offers me a cautionary, "Okay, but that'll be forty cents more."

The thing is, I have no doubt that someone gave her massive shit for that 40 cents in the past.

You should have stuck your hand in your pocket and rattled around some change like a blind man and then said "OK, I think I can do that"

She is amazed that I'm drinking Sam Adams. She confesses her favorite beer is Natty Light.

You should have said "that's OK, I'll take it out of your tip"...
