football is back!

Louisville kicks off against Murray State and hopefully s U c K will lose to the hilltoppers... What are your expectations for the season? UL 8-4, UK 5-7, WKU 2-10

I am not going to make any predictions, but it honestly wouldn't suprise me if the Cards have a losing record this season.

Extremely young on the O-line and at CB. Throw in inexerpeince at QB and it could be a long season.

All that being said, the future is extremely bright.

Oh, I will make a prediction, by the end of the season, Teddy Bridgewater will be the starting QB.

Dude I'm gonna rub it in on your bald head at the end of this season. No way it's a loosing season, you been watching them ESPN boys too much, lol....:0

I didn't say it would definitely be, I said it could be. Also I am making predictions based on what I have seen at the practices I was able to go to. We lost four starters off the offensive line, plus the lone returning starter, the center Mario Beneviades (sp), is out with an injury so tonight we have an entire offensive line making their first start. Add in the fact that our weakest spot on defense is at corner and we have untested players there, it could be a long season. This is the youngest team I can ever remember the Cards having. We are still recovering from getting Kragthorped for three dismal seasons. Charlie is a helluva football coach, but he is not a miracle worker!

edited to add: Leaving for the game in t minus 21 minutes! Go Cards!!!

GO CARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it could be a long season.

Not a huge win but a W none the less, all that matters at the end of the day. There is a lot to improve on, but we have to remember this team is VERY young.

GO CARDS 1-0

I personally thought they looked pretty darn good in the first half. Second half was horrible. Seemed to be alot of confusion from the coaching staff getting plays into Stein, or whomever was the QB at the time. I DO NOT like using mulitiple QB's, never have never will. Bridgewater looked lost and that ball he threw was horribly underthrown. Freshmen jitters I suppose. Defense got tired in that heat in the second half, need game time playing to get in shape.

Like you say a win is a win and they sure looked better than that team from Lexington, shew that was just plain ugly....

Looked pretty bad most of the game, with the exception of about a 12 minute stretch. Defense looked pretty good, I was really impressed by the new players in the secondary, they were thought to be a weak spot but played well last night.

Offensive line is killing us. How many false starts? I know they didn't give up many sacks, but how many hurries?

Was real dissapointed they didn't give Bridgewater more of a shot because he is going to have to play. Stein is already hurt, who knows how bad. He had both feet taped up, they were checking him out pretty heavy on the sideline late in the third quarter.

As anybody else glad that this is Chichester's last season? I have watched this kid drop passes the last three years and guess I will suffer through it one more season.

My favorite poart of the game was watching Davente Parker get his first collegiate touchdown in his very first game. Local kid was recruited by everybody and chose to stay home! I will say, we are absolutely loaded at wide reciever.

Tim lets keep in mind it was the frist game of the season and the first collegiate game for many on this team. I had reason to be encouraged. Bridgewater looked like a deer in the headlights to me. Yes he needs game time, but I didn't see the cocky swagger that usually comes with a five star guy, we'll see what he's made of. It may be trail by fire, lets hope not.
Defensive looked pretty solid, Heyman is gonna have a heck of a year. Loaded for sure at wide outs.

I've never liked Chichester, he reminds me of TO. He thinks he's alot better than he is and he won't stretch out or sacrifice the body to get a catch.

looks like a long season for both teams. I'm a huge UK fan but our game last night was pathetic. Glad we wasn't playing UofL because we would have started out 0-1.

UK is in BAD shape. Total punts - 7, Total completed passes - 7. 75 yards of total offense thru 3 quarters against a team that has not won since Carter was in office. I see a bunch of donuts in the SEC. when does Basketball start?

UK could be in for a very long season if they play that way again.
