-guess we found out who the better team is today. It's fun to be correct.
Louisville’s Record to Date: About Where it Should be According to Recruiting Rankings.
- Thread starter The-Hack
- Start date
And for our game, the tendency held.
U of L pulled two real upsets on the season at Miami and Notre Dame, but whatever magic dust they used to beat those teams with more recruited HS talent failed, again, against UK.
UK was the only team to defeat a team with 10 wins!
[I know . . . it's a little "too soon" for that. Maybe after the roundball game?]

Fair point. We only won THIS year because Louisville turned it over 3 times to UK's 1 turnover and this year the "stats" were in the favor of Louisville. I hope we continue to play games against Louisville with similar turnover ratios. If UK keeps winning, I will readily concede that we maybe wouldn't have won but for the Louisville turnovers. If we lose because of turnovers, I will not use that as an excuse. That's kind of blaming a terrible starting pitching performance on throwing too many hanging sliders, yeah, that's why you sucked in the first place.

You're nuts....Mizzou and UT would've beat the brakes out of UL .
We must live in different universes. Brohm took over a “disaster?” Prove that comment. Make me believe.
Otherwise, for the past couple of weeks you have been crushing on Brohm on false pretenses. 8-5 with two top 25 wins is a disaster?
Oscar Brohm? Is that you?
Louisville can nervously laugh these facts off from the comfort of their weak conference and weak schedule, knowing they won't have to face these teams and UGA week in and week out during the conference run.
But yes, both UT and especially Missouri would whip Louisville. Zero doubt at all Louisville is a 6-5 team in the SEC this year at best.
That was just hyperbole to build the mighty Cards and their current Coach into football gods, in anticipation of their humiliating defeat of the highly paid Stoops.
But, the hyperbole backfired!
Notice that most of those calling the loudest for his head, or complaining about his contract are not ridiculing or dismissing this win.
They can’t.
They spent as much effort predicting our defeat by the mighty Cards as did the Card fans. Trash that win, and posts from last week will be reprinted.

-give em hell, hack.
-at some point "smart" uavel fan has to understand that when their football team has thrived over the last 20 years... it's been the result of playing in a really bad conference be it the metro, cusa, big east or now the acc... it doesn't take away their big years but it certainly lends context to those years.
^this year they are headed to their conference championship...and they lost to the 7th-8th place team in the SEC (by w-l record) on their home field.
re: turnovers. They *are* a stat/important part of the game. That said, not all turnovers are equal... UK's D *forced/created* 2 fumbles, these were earned. The interception that kept the game "close to the end" was a gift to ul from Devin Leary... thankfully the cats overcame that error. It's what better teams do.

True for the moment.
But as we move forward, I would just about bet a way is found to fund players with some the massive largess possessed by the SEC and the Big Ten.
When the conference financial divisions differ by more than 50 million, a distinct possibility in the near future, how long will it be before the two true monster conferences devise a way to further dominate the collection of talent?
The Big Ten and SEC have largely gold-played their facilities the last 15 years, as profits have sharply risen. The next step for the Top 40ish is to use their financial largess to ensure they have an even greater share of talent, than they now possess.
I looked up the financials for Washington State a few years back. They lost Leach to
Mississippi State. At the time, both State and UK had athletic budgets 3 to 4 times the bottom third of the PAC 12.
And this gap will widen!!
It gave them a ray of hope, to then be erased by a Ray of Davis.
