The #21 Louisville Cardnials put the smack on the #3 Florida Gators.
That was pretty funny. How the almighty powerful, SEC team that was one win away from the BCS Championship game gets the smack down put on them by a team not even in the top 20 will befuddle SEC fans around the world. I absolutely loved that game from the first fifteen seconds of it! It gave me a good chuckle. Way to go Cardinals! Just goes to show the media is in the bag for the SEC the way they place them on a pedestal year to year.
I've been a Louisville fan since the late 70s, BB abd FB, this is the best thing to ever happen to the FB program. All I heard was how the Gator D was going to kill the Cards, it looks to me like the Cards D gave them a few lessons. I like that blue team up the road too, just not as well as the Cards.
I just hope we can hold on to Strong for a while longer, his stock just went up a bunch.
Pretty well rested at the end of the season after this powerful schedule. I feel the same about our VA Tech team, a schedule of softies..
2012 Louisville Cardinals Football Schedule - UL
So they were a 14 point under dog and were supposed to beat Florida? I don't think so, I think they are a whole lot better football team than given credit for. In the end it doesn't matter, there are no asterisk beside the W or L that denotes well rested of having you a$$ handed to you. The bottom line is Louisville has the trophy, not Florida.Quote:

I do give them credit for winning the game. They played well and were well coached. I just wonder how many of their players would have showed up after playing 6 or 7 SEC teams during the season.
I do really like their basketball team...:ThumbsUp
We'll see shortly at the Cotton Bowl.Quote:

I thought he got a raw deal at Fla when they did not make him the head coach, so he may have gotten some redemption last night. I liked it.
Speaking of SC, how y'all like our Freak???
The best I have seen in a while.:highfiveQuote:

At this point does it really matter? :donoQuote:

It doesn't matter now but if they have the same schedule next year and go undefeated, they will not play for the National Championship. Same goes for VA Tech. They both need better schedules.Quote:

I've never considered Louisville to be a contender for a national title, and I still don't. We have a very good team this year and things are looking good for next year too.
Not a Duke fan.........at all.
cp, I like coach K,but my favorite was Bobby Knight.Quote:

The Memphis Commercial Appeal came out with a haymaker yesterday, reporting that the NCAA has charged the Memphis program with major violations during the 2007-08 season, when Calipari coached the Tigers to the national championship game.
We live driving distance to Tobacco Road. Things get crazy this time of year in NC especially if Duke & NC have good teams.Quote:

As to the Calipari stuff ..
That's old news ... and Calipari's name is not included in the allegations. Neither was he included in any allegations the NCAA directed at U Mass. The Memphis deal was a school violation ... an allegation that one of the team members had a stand-in for his SAT test (likely Rose). The U Mass deal was Marcus Camby's dealings with an agent (accepting $$ gifts).
