We are the champions!

[mhall]

Well another non UK fan will step up and defend Psprowler as well. I too agree with everything he said. I will give U of L kudo's on winning the League Title outright. But that is as far as it goes, too imbalanced in the League and the NCAA Commish should step in and divide the League up into tow Divisions.

The Big East will be crying come selection Sunday 4 sure...Only one to blame will be the Big East Coaches and Commissioner who decide not to divide the league.

But don't worry my U of L fans, cause even though you won a League Championship, my money would be put on someone else for winning the Big Dance. Your free throw % is what's going to kill you during the Big Dance run.

Now you all have a very fine day today.

Mills you better pray the Cards don't win a National Championship cause as much smack as you've talked this year you are NEVER gonna live it down if they do!

Ok here goes

We are the champions, my friends.....
But we didn't play at UCONN, Pitt, or Marquette in the end.....

We are the champions, we are the champions........
No time for tough road games cause we are the champions....
....in an unbalanced BigEast schedule world........

Give me a freaking break, you sound like that tool Doug Gottleib on ESPN. Louisville plays the toughest Big East schedule the last two years and finally gets a break and all the haters can do is make excuses, give me a break.......
Won AT Villanova
Won AT Syracuse
Won AT Cincinnati
Won At Georgetown
Won At West Virginia all easy places to play.....right.....please.

Won AT Villanova..............no argument there
Won AT Syracuse.............so did Cleveland State
Won AT Cincinnati............so did Seton Hall
Won AT Georgetown.........so did Cincinnati
Won AT West Virginia........UK beat them - nuff said.

By all means don't let objectivity get in the way of the chest puffing.

Win the Big East tourney then puff the chest and proclaim greatness. Same goes for any other regular season BigEast champ.

Nobody chest pumping just trying to enjoy the first ever Big East regular season win by Pitino and the Cards. However it's hard when buzzkills like yourself try to diminish it with whatever downside you can conger up. That's alright though I understand jealousy is a terrible thing to deal with. You forgot to mention a couple of tidbits though so I'll help you out.
Georgetown beat UCONN at their house.
Pitt lost at Villanova
West Virginia is a good team regardless of whom beat them, Guess what they will be dancing when UK is sitting in Lexington watching the games from the local Pub.
Say what you want Louisville has been a solid road team all year, you can choose to put down their opponents and that's fine, again jealousy has to be justified somehow..


OH and one more thing. Since the Big East this year has dominated the top 25 keeping as many as 9 in there at one time and averaging 6 all year, what's your point anyway. Weak argument for me when you have a league so strong that litterally anybody can beat anybody on any given night.

[psprowler]

Jealousy...........yeah that's gotta be it. Jealous for me is when I see Manny Ramirez turning down a 1 year 25 million dollar contract to play baseball because he can. Jealous is when I see Tom Brady snuggling up next to Giselle's naked body every night AFTER he takes off his 3 superbowl rings. Trust me when I say I'm not jealous because somebody I've never met got on a message board and proclaimed the Cardinals were the regular season champions in a league with an unbalanced schedule.

I'm pointing out as many other basketball people have that the schedule is unbalanced so you don't really have a TRUE regular season champion. And then to say UCONN is only the 3rd best team in the conference when they SQUASHED UofL on their own home floor. Yeah, you're gonna get called out on it.

If the post would have just said congrats to Louisville for winning the regular season BigEast title it probably would have been left alone at 1 post and 20 views.

You win big man, you win, LOL.

Man its great to have Louisville back in contention year after year again, reminds me of the 80's cards with their great defense. I am really happy for the Seniors they deserve it, and have worked very hard, espically T-Will. I hope they get a good seed this year, and make some noise in the tournament, but like someone else said earlier, their free throw shooting is going to bite them in the butt before its over with. Go Cards.

All in good fun fellas - I'm much better looking than Doug Gottleib anyways.

Actually hoping for a UofL/Pitt final Saturday night at the Garden. Pitt has proved they can manhandle a team with an inside presence but if they can't handle Louisville's athleticism at all positions then I'm not going to lay down any cash on them in the Big Dance.

Hell Frankenstein is better looking than Doug Gottleib so that ain't saying much.
Louisville has always struggled in Madison Square Garden for whatever reason, and it would not surprise me one bit to see them get sent home early. All that being said I also wouldn't be surprised to see Louisville get a two seed, get on a roll and ride it to the Final Four either so let's wait and see. The list of those that are frothing at the mouth to see them fail is endless, so Ricky has got plenty of motivating tools at his disposal.
All you guys that hate need to form your own Hate Louisville Fan Club, the headquaters would be In Lexington obviously. You guys could meet once a month drink beer, eat bratwursts and talk about how much you hate everything about them.

[psprowler]

Shoot I don't hate them enough to meet at Tyme2Fish's house and he's just down the road. LOL. Lexington's too far unless we're talking fishing.

I hereby nominate MsgMills for president of the club though. I'll be an independent (cough) consultant for the club however.

There is one and only one place the hate club should be located at and that is MSGMILLS house.

I really hate these mega conferences though. They are too big, too unbalanced and leave too many questions about who is really the best team in the conference.

I loved the ACC when it was 9 teams and you played everyone twice but now the only teams that play each other twice every year are the big rivalries like
Duke and Carolina, talk about unfair.

[psprowler]

Another good example of that is Big10/11 football. Two teams get left off the schedule and then that changes every 2 years. There were 2 year stretches where Purdue didn't have to play Ohio St. OR Michigan. Of course they never capitalized.........
