I hope you are right, it's going to be a great game. The Cats seem to be on the right track, I hope they get started off with a great W.
It would be nice. Both programs could use a win to start the season. Kentucky to help keep the spirits up after the recent success, and Louisville to get back on track from some setbacks. I'll take Kentucky 17-16 in OT and Louisville can call it a building block for the season.
I hope you dont mind an opposite opinion.Hunter Cantwell gets some needed protection and the Cards by 3. You guys in the same boat as I am,dont know what to expect.
but will be pullin for the CATS !!!
On another note ... I don't think taking on a major in-state rival is the best way to open a season. Look at the other SEC teams .... most start play with Tech schools or "state" schools. www.secsports.com - 2008 SEC Team-by-Team Football Schedule We (UK) don't play those kind of teams until AFTER we face L'vile.
Why wouldn't it be better to start KY's season with somebody like Norfolk State, then Middle TN, THEN maybe L'vile .... more on the order of what most of the rest of the SEC teams have scheduled :confused:
... cp :cool:
Both teams would benefit from this game being later in the year. It will be later in the season next year when the game is at Commonwealth stadium. Then the first game the following year, when at Papa Johns. Not sure how long that contract lasts, but thats what L'ville wanted.Quote:

We've got 3 "practice" games, before we enter the SEC grinder, but we can't let our guys get too much of the bighead over beating L'vile ... or think they've got the next three wrapped up. Leave all that stuff to the fans & armchair quarterbacks, and get the offense ready to score some points.
L'vile basically beat themselves, and we gave them the only points they scored. We'll have to tighten things up a couple of notches, if we expect to do good in the SEC portion of the schedule. No time to rest on our laurels. Any win is a good win, even if it's an ugly win :p We just can't expect things to 'bounce' up into our hands, like the Card fumbles did ... ;)
Congrats to the CATS, hope this is a sign of another winning season !!!

I was at the game and it was one of the ugliest games I've seen in a while. I'm a Ky fan, but neither team has much to look forward to on the offensive side of the football. The SEC is going to be tough this year. Hope they can make it to a bowl game. It was fun watching the Louisville fans bitching about Kragthorpe and crying on the way out.
Dont get too excited! Ky better learn how to score with offence or they will have a long painful season. Now about louisvelle,we raised cane because of no defense last season and they seemed to shore that up pretty good and their offence fell flat to say the least. The coach is pretty good imo just like the ky coach. Remember the ky fans that wanted brooks head on a platter not so long ago and now he is the best and smartest coach around.:rolleyes: We will wait like you guys and give him the benefit to work this out.;)Quote:

Kentucky has a long way to go on offense, in no way will yesterdays showing stand in SEC play. Brooks inherited a bad situation, Kragthorpe is taking his program in the wrong direction.Quote:
