June 24, 200719 yr This is how I see it: If UK loses, then they benefit from having the game not televised (especially if they lose big) and UoL loses from not getting national exposure. If UK wins, not having the game televised won't be that big a deal because ESPN'S highlight shows will give it plently of play. I like it.

I don't really like the move but the fact these UL fans are so mad about it makes it worth it
June 24, 200719 yr I don't really like the move but the fact these UL fans are so mad about it makes it worth it ...and that makes UK and it's fans seem like second fiddle...all in all, I will be in Lexington (flasking it up) . . . U of L will roll...and UK will be an afterthought yet again.
June 24, 200719 yr ...and that makes UK and it's fans seem like second fiddle...all in all, I will be in Lexington (flasking it up) . . . U of L will roll...and UK will be an afterthought yet again. That is the only part of the post I agree with.

June 25, 200719 yr Author You don't have to take my word for it. You really don't have to wait until the game if you want to get a clue. Wait until the Las Vegas line comes out and check out how close the pros think the two teams are. :thumb: :walk:Now we're talking about spread as an accurate indication? I seem to remember Louisville covering last year... by more than a touchdown... after losing a Heisman candidate.:sssh:
June 25, 200719 yr Author I didn't like it as someone who would be rooting for U of L the rest of the year. If wouldn't have looked like perfection if Brohm had got wiped out by a DL or LB and been out for the year.That was part of the genius of it. Brohm was coming off of a serious surgery and hadn't taken contact since before Thanksgiving 2005. With that play, Brohm was able to hit out on the field and be the player in control of the situation, taking #10 of UK out of the play, instead of his first hit being in the pocket. Not that he took many hits in the pocket that day.
June 25, 200719 yr Now we're talking about spread as an accurate indication? I seem to remember Louisville covering last year... by more than a touchdown... after losing a Heisman candidate.:sssh: Like I said, the spread is an accurate indication of how the pros in Vegas view the two teams and how close they are. In fact it's the ONLY indication. Yet again having to explain more than once. :sssh:

If UK wins, not having the game televised won't be that big a deal because ESPN'S highlight shows will give it plently of play. I like it. Yeah, I'm sure a UK win would outshine the coverage of Michigan-ND, Tennessee-Florida, Fresno St-Oregon, Arkansas-Bama, Boston College-Georgia Tech, USC-Nebraska, FSU-Colorado and all the other games that day. Or what about NFL coverage that day in preperation for the Chargers-Pats game the next day? Baseball has Cards-Cubs triheader, Yankees-Red Sox, and Giants-Padres. The game would get coverage. But I don't think it will be the talk of Sportscenter no matter which way it goes.

June 25, 200719 yr ^^^He said ESPN's highlight shows would give it plenty of play, not that it would "outshine" anyone else's coverage. No need for the rant, but we'll chalk it up to not having your best day with following posts.

Yet again having to explain more than once. :sssh: Yet again having to explain more than once that the "pros" in Vegas are working to get people to bet on both sides and not predicting final scores is fun too...
June 25, 200719 yr Like I said, it was a sucker line last year.:sssh: I guess it was the last time they played in Lexington too, and will be this year...by that reasoning Vegas sees fit to put out a sucker line for this game every year. Don't think so...:sssh:
June 25, 200719 yr Yet again having to explain more than once that the "pros" in Vegas are working to get people to bet on both sides and not predicting final scores is fun too... Which an accurate line will do.

No need for the rant, but we'll chalk it up to not having your best day with following posts.I would take plenty of play to mean more than 'report score, mention QB stats.'
