A couple of interesting notes:

- Due to his buyout, WKU will effectively make money off of Petrino's one year. His salary of $850,000 is less than the $1.2 million buyout coming their way.

- WKU had a clause in his contract where he must make every effort to schedule a home-and-home to take place within 12 years of his leaving. So basically, WKU will get a home game vs. an ACC opponent due to a clever contract. WKU has been able to play home basketball games vs. Georgia and South Carolina in the past due to these types of clauses.

Incredibly smart contracting by Western Kentucky. Their program benefits from having the big name there for a season and they are able to transition to a good coach who was intimately involved in recruiting and will bring stability.

Wow. Louisville did not just poach one 2014 C-USA head coach, they sent UAB looking too. Garrick McGee agreed to be petrinos OC at UL... I guess it might be fair to say though, that this is rather him fleeing and that it means UAB doesn't have to scrounge to find the 2 cents it would have needeed but not have had to buy him out.

Definitely. The Western Kentucky AD made out like a Bandit on the Petrino deal. That is particularly impressive, as all other places he ever was at were left hurting quite badly in the end.

Louisville's head basketball coach has had similar problems. Screwed a woman in back of a restaurant while an assistant coach stood guard. If memory serves,assistant coach later marries her,messy divorce,sues head coach, public apology,etc.I have slept since this happened, but you get the general idea.

      I think Floyd is going to be solid at the point. Our backcourt is deep with good shooters. Massey has me really intrigued as he hit the glass and appears to have some hops to him. I think I expected more out of Wright, thinking he was our prized pick up out of the portal. Lorient, even if Hodge says he is the most athletic player he has had during his time here, doesn’t really have a shot and doesn’t go up strong at the rim. I thought Sissoko looked tons better than last year. Better hands, couple of steals and solid play in the paint. He’s not going to be a double double player for us and that’s alright with the scorers around him. Stone still runs to hot. I think in his effort to be our energy/hustle player on defense, it hurts his offensive game. He rushes to shoot or pass and the same dribbling to the basket. How many breaks has he had where he didn’t finish? There is no rhythm to his offensive game and that kills him. He either has to contribute more on offense, or we need to give Cotton and Mason a shot. I don’t know much about the freshman Smith, but he needs to put in some weight and probably get up to the speed of the D1 game. Hope to see some of the youngsters tomorrow night.

      I'll be at The Pit tomorrow, but between my friend group we've got 8 tickets unable to be used. All lower level near the UNT bench - two solos, a pair, and a group of 4. If anyone needs tickets, let me know! Per my ticket rep a ticket for the men's game will also get you into the women's game at 5:30 if you can make it.
