UK Foootball -National Championship

[bplgocards]

So Louisville Football has been MUCH BETTER than Kentucky??? Head to Head last 10 years, 5-5 record. Did not go back all 10 but did go back lady 5 years, to include Louisvilles 12-1 team that beat might Wake Forest in the BCS Bowl, Louisville is 34-28 in the last 5 years. Kentucky is 36-26 in the last 5 years. Talk about Kentucky playing in the Cheetos Cream Puff Bowls, don't forget Louisville playing in 3 Liberty, 2 GMAC and the traditional powerful Beef O Brady Bowl. I don't know where you define MUCH BETTER between the two schools recently. Kentucky plays in the SEC and Louisville is in the Big East. How many national titles does the Big East have in football and how many national powers are in the SEC that Kentucky plays versus the Cream Puffs in the Big East. Bottom line both programs stink, neither is better than the other and no way one is MUCH BETTER than the other over the past 10 years

You prove my point for me. UofL does not have the recruiting advantages that the SEC does. UofL was able to beat the likes of Boise St (ranked in the top 10) in the Liberty Bowl, and won the Orange Bowl against Wake. We didn't choose our opponent, but would have been competitive against anyone. How many BCS bowls has UK been to? 0. The year that UofL went to the Orange Bowl, the Big East had 3 of the top 5 teams in Louisville, West Virginia, and Rutgers. Talk about cream puffs. If it were not for William Gay jumping offside against Rutgers, Louisville would have been playing for the national championship that year, as well as the year that Kerry Rhodes dropped the interception against Miami/combined with a Brian Brohm coming in as a true freshman to battle the number 1 ranked team in the country. UK has never been in contention for anything besides the GAYlord bowl. Enough said.

hate to bust your bubble, but thy would not have put Louisville in the National Championship title game if you would have beat Rutgers. They would have over looked Louisville. Like Bobby Petrino said " They give you the bid iin the big east, you have to earn it in the SEC"

Not neccessarily true, Louisville had a huge margin advantage in the BCS rankings and ha they not lost to Rutgers they would have almost certainly played in the titl;e game over a two loss Florida team. The numbers game with the computers were stacked in Louisville's favor that year and it would have been very difficult for anyone to jump them if they hadn't choked away the game, they most likely would have been playing for the Mythical National Championship. Not saying they were the best team, just pointing this out.

For the blowhard UL fan,Kentucky didn't veto UL from the SEC,THe SEC won't take UL because of their academics,just like they refused West Virginia.

Kentucky may not be the top of the SEC in Football,but they have won 7 or more games plenty of times,they have won the SEC East several times since 1980.I could show you these facts,but something tells me someone like you does not understand a fact,one being ,winning against crappy teams does not make you a better team.

Academics? Are you sure about this? The Big East doesn't allow grey shirts or partial qualifiers (I think) so what gives with the academics? I am not trying to be a smart azz on this, it is a serious question, I have never heard of U of L trying to get in the SEC and sure never heard anything about academics being a reason someone would be denied admission to the SEC. Matter of fact, the only conference I ever hear this about is the Big Ten.

Hes a UK fan he thinks that "academics" mean being smart enough to empty out your stadium in the 3rd quarter when you are getting your A$$ beat
