January 9, 200719 yr You keep starting all your arguments with last year. You should know better than that. Everyone but you realizes UK is much better now than early last season...from their QB all the way to their defense. If you want to make a valid argument, it will have to be that UL brings enough to Lexington next year to come out with a win...and that's not even close to being a given...Yeah? U of L got better, too. Anthony Allen will be a stud next year, if UK's defense couldn't handle him as a true freshman in the first game of the season when he wasn't even getting serious reps what will they do next year? And why not start arguments based on PAST PERFORMANCE? It's the best indicator of future performance. That's why, with 7 of 8 and 4 in a row and a blowout win this past season, I feel comfortable saying Louisville will win again. :thumb:
January 9, 200719 yr Yeah? U of L got better, too. Anthony Allen will be a stud next year, if UK's defense couldn't handle him as a true freshman in the first game of the season what will they do next year? Again, UK defense is much better now, and will be better still when UL comes in... UK will have the edge at quarterback if Brohm is gone. Even if Brohm stays, UL D will still be facing an exceptional QB... RBs and receiving corps...I wouldn't trade what UK has coming back for UL's other than Bush... Defense - edge to UL but way too early to know if it will be much of an edge... ST - UK's special teams are very good now...no edge to UL... Home field - edge to UK... So there you have it in a nutshell...tossup without Bush, Brohm and Petrino...and the Vegas oddsmakers will prove me right when the time comes...barring UK losing to Eastern or Temple or whatever patsies they open with...

You think UK will be the VEGAS FAVORITE?! Or that the game will be a push? The #1 rule of gambling is that you NEVER bet against a streak...
January 9, 200719 yr No edge to U of L in special teams? Both Louisville and UK proved that they could run the ball back this season, so I would call that even, but Lousivlle has THE LOU GROZA AWARD KICKER. Louisville has the special teams edge.
January 9, 200719 yr I noticed you left out O-line. Kentucky loses a number of starters (Louisville loses two) and Louisville will have one of the best centers in the country, Frosh All-American and All-American candidate this year Eric Wood.
January 9, 200719 yr You think UK will be the VEGAS FAVORITE?! Or that the game will be a push? The #1 rule of gambling is that you NEVER bet against a streak... I'M NOT BETTING ANY MONEY ON UK!!! lol... I think Louisville is favored by 7 OR LESS coming in, if neither team loses early...

Kentucky loses a number of starters (Louisville loses two) and Louisville will have one of the best centers in the country, Frosh All-American and All-American candidate this year Eric Wood. Line play is always the wild card, we don't even know who will be starting. I am assuming UK will be able to hang with UL in the trenches...
January 9, 200719 yr I didn't know the Vatican had a football team!!!:lol: They're Catholic, of course they do. :walk:
January 9, 200719 yr I'd take Rafel Little, Dixon, and Smith over Stripling and Allen. So would I. But I'd rather have 1 M. Bush than all 5 of them. It's all guesswork until we know Bush's status.
January 9, 200719 yr They're Catholic, of course they do. :walk: Of course, they'll let you play if you're good enough, whatever your beliefs...
January 9, 200719 yr I'd take Rafel Little, Dixon, and Smith over Stripling and Allen. Soph Stripling: 81 attempts, 459 yds (5.7 avg) 6 total TDs Frosh Allen: 96 attempts, 506 yds (4.2 avg) 15 total TDs Soph Bolen: 48 attempts, 296 yds (6.2 avg) 4 total TDs None of these guys were the feature back! :scared: And behind door #2... Junior Little: 140 attempts, 673 yds (4.8 avg) 5 total TDs Soph Dixon: 87 attempts, 303 yds (3.5 avg) 4 total TDs Frosh Smith: 60 attempts, 250 yds (4.2 avg) 2 total TDs You've got a point...:lol:
January 9, 200719 yr Of course, they'll let you play if you're good enough, whatever your beliefs... Not to really get going here and this is all I'll say, if you want to continue the discussion we will take it to PMs, the two best QBs Trinity has had in a long time and the both came from Catholic schools and are themselves Catholic. On that note I believe Brady Quinn of the Irish is too.
January 9, 200719 yr Line play is always the wild card, we don't even know who will be starting. I am assuming UK will be able to hang with UL in the trenches...You assume incorrectly. Line play has been and will be a strength for U of L, and it's a weakness for the Cats. Oops, I forgot, what's happened before is totally irrelevant when trying to figure out what will happen. The magical O-line fairy will deposit bigger, faster, stronger hogmollies this year, even if she forgot to visit last year like she was supposed to.
