It's Official: Rick Pitino is on Drugs

Having relations with a woman that is not your wife in a very popular local restaurant in front of people that know you, getting caught and then blaming the media is certainly not one of the steps.

University of Louisville head basketball coach Rick Pitino has picked the team that he thinks is going to win the Big East next year. Who did he pick? Georgetown? Nope! Syracuse? Nuh-uh. West Virginia? Not even close. His own team? Hey I didn't say he was stupid or insane, I just said he is on drugs. The team that Ricky 3 Stacks picked is...St. Johns! And a collective WTF escapes the mouths of everyone reading this.

To be fair, Mr. Stacks also had Villanova, Pittsburgh and Cincinatti in the mix. All of these teams have one thing in common: they beat Duh Ville. So did everybody else. Except Syracuse for some strange reason. Anywho, why would Mr. Stacks pick the Red Storm? Does he have some love affair going on with new coach Steve Lavin (sorry Karen and Stevie Little Stacks)? Does he have insider information? Does he secretly still want to coach there and thinks that if he kisses enough butt they might actually fire Lavin and hire him? Has the syphilis finally reached his brain and caused it to deteriorate? I am still leaning towards drugs as the main cause of this nonsense. He has to do something to get through the pain of the impending trial, the horrible season he just endured, the horrible season he is about to endure, the loss of Marquis Teague, and John Calipari stealing the spotlight at every turn.

The last time the Red Storm made the NCAA tournament was in 2000. I'm not talking about winning a championship, making a Final Four appearance or even an Elite Eight, I am talking about the last time they even made it into the Dance. Their record last year was 17-16.

Unless Lavin can get the recruits in his first year that Calipari did in his first year then Ricky P's prediction isn't coming true. They are expected to go from one of the worst to first in the most competitive conference in the country. I really think Pitino is on drugs or has lost his marbles. Louisville fans should be concerned about their program.
