June 26, 200719 yr Thanks a lot kat fans, this is what you get for being scared and changing tradition
June 26, 200719 yr When I think about UL, I always compare them to the way Johnson Central gets treated. People always talk about how they are a team you have to watch out for, but the only ones talking about them winning it all is their own fans. In time I hope it changes on here. Well they were one bad half away from the biggest stage in non professional football.....without one of the Derby City Duo...they are legit RIGHT NOW.
June 26, 200719 yr So two bowl wins seperated by 18 years seperate UL from the pack to become a national power? Without picking two much....but if you take my two wins that I was wrong....and subtract them for your 18 both would be correct .
June 26, 200719 yr Well they were one bad half away from the biggest stage in non professional football.....without one of the Derby City Duo...they are legit RIGHT NOW. I agree they are, just pointing out how it seems to be on here.
June 26, 200719 yr Without picking two much....but if you take my two wins that I was wrong....and subtract them for your 18 both would be correct . Opps that one week in January can make football math pretty difficult. Guess I rounded down to the 1990-91 season and up since thinking the Orange bowl was played Jan 2007.
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. Emerging...yes. Winning the Liberty Bowl and beating Wake Forest in the lowest rated BCS game TV wise does not one make a national power. They are on the cusp.
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. You beat Wake Forest...W A K E F O R E S T
June 26, 200719 yr I like that you're comparing UofL football to HS football. Sounds about right to me. They both play on Friday's right?
June 26, 200719 yr ...and then Louisville seperates from the pack with an Orange Bowl win. What about Boise winning the Fiesta? I think their win was far more impressive.
June 26, 200719 yr Winning the Liberty Bowl and beating Wake Forest in the lowest rated BCS game TV wise does not one make a national power. So because a ton of people didn't watch it, it made it lesser..... If they went to the Fiesta they would've beat either team...The Sugar...would've beat Notre Dame...the Rose would've beat UM..maybe USC...the Championship...they would've given either fits...that on bad half kept them from showing just how great they were...and this year's edition is even better.
June 26, 200719 yr What about Boise winning the Fiesta? I think their win was far more impressive. U of L beat one of the best defenses in the country....with a QB with a seperated shoulder...Boise won, because they let OK back in...and OK forgot to play prevent...(see Bob Redman)

And you know that for sure that they would have beaten those teams? Wake was a nice team....but it was an ugly matchup.

Seems like I've read previously in this thread that a UK win vs. UL will have little to no impact since it won't be on TV. Doesn't it work both ways?

Your 1st word is IF. When UL plays and beats these teams pound on your chest all you want. You would be entitled to that, and honestly I hope it happens. It would be nice to have a team other than the one in Columbus making all the noise in our extended area. I'll be rooting for the Cards if they find themselves in one of those games Good Luck.
June 26, 200719 yr And you know that for sure that they would have beaten those teams? Wake was a nice team....but it was an ugly matchup. They weren't as nice a team as Clemson. Does that make UK a power???
