Heaven will Not Fall, what’s a payback
Let me try to get my fellow Cardinal supporters down from this precipice.Yes, Dusty May will lead Michigan’s coaching staff. Indeed, Scott Drew claims to be content at Baylor.
Thus, the two fan favorites—the ones with the most razzmatazz—for the Cardinal position are eliminated.This is what I am aware of not knowing.
If Drew ever gave it any thought to move on. If so, to Louisville? Was he among Josh Heird’s short list?
My assumption, and it’s only an assumption, is that May was never seriously entertained by other employers given how rapidly she accepted the Ann Arbor post. Not just not here, not in West Virginia, nor in Vandy.
Bloomington was his upbringing. That’s Big Ten Country, even if it’s near to Louisville. Michigan was Bobby Knight’s toughest rival as manager of his best squad.
That which comes around, that’s me. Life finds equilibrium. As he always claimed, Rick Pitino was certain he was heading to Michigan when he woke up the morning after accepting the U of L job. He didn’t. John Beilein wasn’t exactly chopped liver when they hired him.
We defeated them for nothing. So perhaps this is The Big Payback, the subject of the Godfather song.It takes place.
In these situations, you are aware of the go-to line.Though you can’t always obtain what you want, sometimes you can get what you need if you try. I’ve often made the comparison of getting Gorgui Dieng but not Fab Melo. It’s relevant.
And how we managed to get by without Vern Fleming, Winford Boynes, and other recruits that we mistook for locks.This is what came to mind this morning.
Pete Trgovich, a guy from East Chicago, Washington, was the best player Denny Crum had signed to play at UCLA. He signed with Louisville and signed Ulysses Bridgeman, the team’s “second best” baller. All is well with the Cards, my fellow nitpickers.
There are numerous other very deserving applicants for the U of L position. One is not too far away.
Inhale deeply.
