Re: Pitino's Ego

[Dan Forant <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

Hey, I agree, but,,,,,,,,,,we've waited a long time for a decent team w/an
all star type player. This is the guy to bring us to the next level. He is
Mr.Excitement. All I want is a top rated team. If the fans have to pay for
it, so be it. Do we want a team of low salaried players just for the sake
of it. Like the Fla., Marlins. You get what you pay for, if your smart
enough to find it. Sure, Walker's somewhat of a gamble. But outside of
Jordan, who isn't. I like the sound of opposing announcers saying, the
phenom, Walker is here. I am an admittedly in the owners corner, but it's
time to get out of the cellar.
