If any of you are Cardinal fans, not you Splitshit, I mean Shot, just joking Brian. Please visit this site and send Jurich an e-mail and help get this goon out of Louisville Football before there is nothing at all to even rebuild.

I've got to give you UofL football fans credit - you all never lose hope that someday Louisville might be a national powerhouse in football regardless of the fact that the day will never come...........

I have to give you credit for missing the point. For a couple of season U of L was a national football power....of course you weere so busy driving around talking on your cell phone and not wearing a seat belt that you missed it.

Really. When did all that go down? You mean they were up there with Florida, Texas, USC, OhioSt., LSU, etc. for an extended period of time? I remember one time they went to the Fiesta bowl back in the early 90's and they did make it to a BCS bowl a few years ago and beat a powerhouse Wake Forest team. But I remember that team from Hawaii made it to a BCS bowl last year. Last I checked they were not a national powerhouse.

So yeah, if a national football power means being ranked in the top 10 for a season on occasion, then I missed the point.

But do me a favor and give me a call when they are playing for the national championship. I'll be sure to recognize that they have arrived on the national scene.

Yeah whatever....go cats! j/k man.

[psprowler]

Now basketball - yeah they can be considered a national power. 2 titles and many final fours. No problem there even though I'm not a huge fan.

Wow, you did miss a lot, ranked in the top 10 twice in four years, multiple bowl games etc. I guess you missed the last second field goal that cost them the shot at the mythical national championship and gave Florida the U of L spot. I guess NC State and Florida were never national powers in basketball either. I mean, they don't meet your criteria.

Well obviously you have a poor memory because just two short years ago UoL missed playing for a national championship by one field goal. They finished that season with a win at the Orange Bowl and was ranked I think number 4 or 5 at the end of that season. What are you another angry UK guy hating on Lousville, boy now that would be a hoot. I just wish all the UK guys that spew all the hate could direct that crap somewhere else for a change, give it a rest already. I love Brooks and really appreciate what he's been able to accomplish, I think it's awesome. Why if you can't think of anything nice than just don't comment on the thread. Like it or not ole buddy when Petrino had it going Louisville was in the National spotlight that's a fact.

Do you know how many teams have missed playing for that so called national championship by one play or one game? That Orange Bowl run was ONE year in the (insert number of years there's been a Louisville football team here). That doesn't make you a national power, that merely makes you an up and coming program. Then when you lose to Syracuse two years straight that takes away all credibility and you have to start over. I am not another angry UK guy hating on Louisville. I'm from Indiana, and I can tell you what the difference between UK football fans and UofL football fans are: UK fans know their place within the college football landscape. They've had just about as many "decent" years as Louisville lately, but how many of them do you see spouting off at the mouth about being a national power. I graduated from Purdue and they went to the Rose bowl in 2000 and several bowls in consecutive years. But they are light years away from being or ever being a national power.

NCState in basketball has a better resume than UofL does in football. Name one person outside of north carolina that considers them a basketball powerhouse.

When it comes to sports, I have a great memory don't worry about that.

Continue to think the cards are a national power - if it cooks for you, solid.

Has UK missed the National Championship game by a field goal? I don't think so.

[psprowler]

No, they haven't. But their fans are not constantly talking about how they are "one of the big boys" either. This isn't about UKvsUofL, in fact it has nothing to do with UK. UofL is approximately 427-406-17 (.512) as a football program. They are not relevant. It's ok. My Hoosiers aren't relevant either nor will they be.

Oooooooh SNAP.

I'll agree that you had a nice run with Petrino, but sorry guys, DaVille is not a national power in football.

And just to even the score, YES...UK is a consistent football bottom-feeder in the SEC East. We've had a decent run the last couple of years, but are also largely irrelevant in the world of college football. We did beat a #1 team and eventual National Champion last year. Of course, we play in the SEC, so we're going to get more opportunities at that than you guys.

Learn from us though boys. If you don't set the bar too high, it doesn't hurt so bad when you come crashing in way under it.

Peace, Love, Brotherhood...
