We’re gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you’ll say, ‘Please, please. It’s too much winning. We can’t take it anymore, Coach Pitino, it’s too much.’ And he’ll say, ‘No it isn’t. We have to keep winning. We have to win more!’
I saw @XUCoachPitino today at Skyline Chili and asked him how he likes portal season.
He said and I quote "I fucks wit it, I fucks wit it hard."
Then he took off his durag to show me his waves.
