October 11, 200620 yr Most teams disrespect the UK scoreboard every time they come to Lexington.........Is that the same? Nice. I nominate this for post of the year.
October 11, 200620 yr Can anyone find a clip or link from the 04 stomping by UC... Already tried...I had no luck.
October 11, 200620 yr Nice... :laugh: Thanks I try:D I know its true Im in row 3 for every game and that scoreboard takes a much harder beating than any bird.
October 11, 200620 yr Stirring the pot? Moi? I simply posted a link to a article from a Major Paper about the "bird incident." You guys (both sides of the aisle) are the ones that ran with it. Listen, if my team was 7-0 (or whatever their record is) I'd be thrilled to death, and would be looking for any reason in the world to get a chip on our shoulder aginst inferior competition. I don't begrudge you that. I'm always the first UK fan to say I'm envious as heck of UL's success. I just enjoy the fact that "the bird" has become some sort of mecca to the red and black from the 'ville. A) Louisville has a lot of Florida players. The logo stomping rituals have a lot of weight in that area, so its no surprise that (1) the Florida teams that have visted The Oven have done it (with the excption of the Schnell's boys) and (2) our players get into it. If you watch, it's the Louisville players from Florida that ALWAYS get the most worked up over it. B) Louisville players don't disrespect the Bird. The Cardinal logo in the lockeroom floor is roped off to prevent accidental beatdowns after practice.:lol: C) The biggest part of the Derby City game intros last year, were the players that would be going to other schools stomping the Bird at Freedom Hall, but the best part was Louisville recruits showing love to center court(was it Caracter or Sosa that washed the logo? And you can't forget T-Will getting down and kissing it.) The fact is, some programs make a bigger deal out of their logo on the courts and fields. Louisville happens to, and it's NO SECRET. Even if Dantonio didn't mean any disrespect, he should have kept his players back because 2004 was the Year of the Stomp. Everyone in C-USA knew about it, it happened like every other game.

October 11, 200620 yr The Bearcats should go and stomp on the 20 yard line. That would confuse them. "Should we be upset, they are stomping. But it's not the Cardinal, it's the 20-yard line. Well I don't know what to do. Let's go ask coach."
October 11, 200620 yr Well UK needs to put a big Cat in the middle of the field. Because if stomping the bird gives UL more power, Then UK should try it.
October 11, 200620 yr It's easy to make fun of, because this hasn't happened anywhere else...If something of the sort would have started at UK instead of UL, I'd bet a fat man a quarter that some of the same would be going on. Don't get me wrong, I see where you guys are coming from. My only point is that if you think it's ridiculous, why post on it? My question is why does this only happen at Louisville?
October 11, 200620 yr My question is why does this only happen at Louisville? I don't think anybody really knows why...02 had some good points in his last post about that sort of thing being taken very seriously here. It's not only the bird on the football field, but also in Freedom Hall. It has to do with school pride, and protecting the integrity of "The Bird." It's about respect....
October 11, 200620 yr I personally don't have a problem with it and think it is what collegiate athletes is supposed to be about. School pride and playing for the name on the front of the jersey.

October 11, 200620 yr Why so scared?:lol: Well you haven't said anything on this topic in the past that I can remember...I just don't want you to be thrown to the wolves like the rest of us...:lol: :lol: :lol:
October 11, 200620 yr Well you haven't said anything on this topic in the past that I can remember...I just don't want you to be thrown to the wolves like the rest of us...:lol: :lol: :lol: I'll still make fun of UL for doing it because.....well they are Louisville and that is what UK fans are supposed to do. :lol: But that is part of college athletics and it should all be done in fun. Take it too serious and you should quit watching college sports.
