:lol:

 

I understand that UK will have a hard time starting next weekend, I can deal with It, Im a UK fan. But I can say, That UK has played 3 VERY weak teams.

 

Just to clarify, which part of my post was funny?

That explains why ESPN ratings have been so low.

Actually the rating have been very good when UofL is on, we hold a few records for ESPN and ESPN2.

 

 

Are you serious?

 

I hope your not.:sleep:

Count 'em.

Kragcooper lost this one when they did not kick the field goal in the first half with the wind behind them on 4th & 5 that would have been a 4 ponit lead and no reason to throw the ball late in the game.

 

While I am not sold on Coach K please do not put his name near "cooper". Cooper (if that is who you are referring to) was a jack leg. Coach K seems to be a good man just not sure he is cut out for this job.

:thumb: I agree, T.D. .....you are a class act.

 

Thank you...but not needed. I call it like I see it. I am alot different from most fans. The rose colored glasses just don't look that great on me. :lol::lol::lol:

I wish some of you wouldnt dump all UK fans into one category. I think that you are correct that KY's success this year against UL was a prop to KY's defense, not an indictment of UL's offense. I thought then, and still do, that UL will get it together with more experience. And whether we like it or not, UL was basically one play away from playing in the BCS championship 2 years ago(or was it 3 years?). Anyway, I think its good having 2 quality programs in state such as Florida, South Florida, Florida St, and Miami, or Alabama, Auburn, or Oregon, Oregon St, or Arizona, Arizona St, and on and on. It just makes a state to appear to be "football country". Good luck to the Cats and Cards.

Nice post.

U of L has played in 2 of ESPN's biggest ratings games ever.

 

2 out of twenty ain't bad!!:eek:

 

Actually the rating have been very good when UofL is on, we hold a few records for ESPN and ESPN2.

 

 

The ratings may be high for those games due to all the UK fans that tune in to watch the Cards get beat.:lol:

I think this falls under that catagory..

 

" UL was better in 2005 and 2006 than UK has ever been "...

 

:laugh:

"Had to deal" with? I've "had to deal" with UK basketball championships and ALMOST championships over the year, but I honestly don't go off on a tangent in the basketball threads when they don't make it. In fact, as a Kentuckian, I usually hope that UK is the 2nd best team in any sport, right behind UofL. So if UK fans want to shout all that, be my guest, but it's absolutely ridiculous. It's just like the game this year, instead of UK fans talking about how impressed they were with UK's defense, they were just talking about how bad UofL was. What kind of fandom is that? UK can never be good, UofL just bad? I don't get it, and I hope I'll never be like that.

 

And the whole "Boy Who Cried Wolf" factor is a COMPLETE joke. The UK fans that try to say "I knew UofL wasn't going to do any good, mwahaha!" they act as if they're professional sportscasters, when the fact is they root against UofL in EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME, so when they're right, they whoop it up like they're special.

 

Face it, here's the logic (I wish I could say "fool-proof" logic, but I know there are UK fans that will argue for the sake of riling people up, and I have gotten pretty good at ignoring them - obviously not in this case, but aw well, I slipped) behind UofL's hype the past few years: In 2006, it was the Mike Bush-Brian Brohm combination, which as proven in the UK game until Bush's injury was SICK. Now, without their main back, UofL had to change the game plan they had worked on all pre-season long - not an easy task. But they made it to and won the Orange Bowl. So the next year, UofL loses it's head coach, but keeps their star QB along with the majority of players on both offense and defense. This is where I love to call out the 'wolf-criers', by simple math. If the majority of a great team returns, you can safely predict you'll have a great team.

 

And here's saying what the UK fans love to see us admit: UofL blew it, BIG TIME. They had their heads uncomfortably misplaced, the coaching situation was a much bigger X factor than predicted, and our defense apparently all suffered from amnesia and forgot everything about the game of football. There really was no excuse for any UofL fan, no matter how many we tried to make, there was no reason for UofL being as horrible as they were last season. But it happened.

 

That being said, I still take a lot of pride in being a Cardinal alumni, and I love seeing players like Vic and Doug who could be stars on any team in the country, but they were proud enough to come to Louisville even after the big bust. The future is indeed still bright for the Cardinals, and I'll always cheer for them in the hopes that they'll be the best team around... and I'll even still hope for UK to be the second best, even when they're having multiple losing seasons. Something, as a UofL fan, I can't really fathom (I didn't pay much attention to Cardinal sports in the pre-Petrino era, so I don't know what that's like).

 

Alot of great points here. :thumb:

I don't see how thats funny. The 06 squad was by far better than UK team i've ever seen.

You haven't watched the 07 or 08 team? :flame:

Now there's something funny.

You got to be kidding. :laugh:

You got to be kidding. :laugh:

 

Ok, 08 I give ya, 07 was for sure better.

^ He walked into a much worse situation that any of could ever know. There wasn't much continuity to anything in regards to his team, prior to this season. They are going to experience problems, we need to suck them up, and enjoy the fruits of their labor when they have more experience.
