June 26, 200719 yr :confused:Please clarify. If you are talking about Louisville emerging as a nationally recongnized power, that ship has come and passed. Personally I don't anyone can lay claim to being a national power until you have a National Title to your name....
June 26, 200719 yr Personally I don't anyone can lay claim to being a national power until you have a National Title to your name....Right. That Army team sure is a power.
June 26, 200719 yr Right. That Army team sure is a power. So you think a team can call themselves a national power and toot their horn of winning conference titles, but always coming up short on the national level? I guess our definitions of national power are different.

I guess our definitions of national power are different. Then I would certianly say that UK's basketball team is no longer a power...or do you simply have had to win it at some time?

June 26, 200719 yr Author Good for you, get back to me when you have a national title.Even though for the vast majority of the history of the sport, that title was mythical? Manual is a TWO time national champion in high school football... are they more of a power in the state than T, X, or H?
June 26, 200719 yr Even though for the vast majority of the history of the sport, that title was mythical? Manual is a TWO time national champion in high school football... are they more of a power in the state than T, X, or H? Manual is a FORMER power, T and X are POWERS, U of L is an EMERGING power.
June 26, 200719 yr Author Manual is a FORMER power, T and X are POWERS, U of L is an EMERGING power.I just don't think I can agree. Manual has multiple national titles, and X, T and Male have zero. Apparently, they can't apply for the club.
June 26, 200719 yr I just don't think I can agree. Manual has multiple national titles, and X, T and Male have zero. Apparently, they can't apply for the club. From what I've read, you have to have National Titles to be a power, so to me it seems like X and T can't be in the discussion...JMO.

I haven't watched a High School football game since Shaun Alexander played, so I have no clue about any high school teams....

June 26, 200719 yr We won the Orange Bowl last year. The O R A N G E B O W L. I promise, I saw it with my own eyes. Awesome. 1 big time bowl win. That qualifies as emerging to me. Until UofL hangs around for 5 or 10 years, they're not an established power. Sorry.
June 26, 200719 yr I haven't watched a High School football game since Shaun Alexander played, so I have no clue about any high school teams.... I played against one Shaun Alenxander.
