Surprised to see the Cards ranked so high. Wonder if this is a outlier or will this be the case in the AP and coaches poll?
The good news from this is that losses to each other shouldn't be as painful in the polls as they could be, similar to how the $EC gets treated when they lose to each other. I do not believe that we will be ranked that high when the major polls come out, but if we could manage a win over FSU in game three, I think we would get a major boost in the polls without FSU taking a big hit. This is going to be one crazy ride in the Atlantic Division this year.
You just don't get it. In that thread I clearly stated that I didn't think the media would have the Cards ranked higher. That my predictions were for fun but also a possibility due to the talent and Petrino's history.
Well, you can believe what you want to make yourself so important as to who knows anything about football. The season is just starting and if you're around you will see plenty of posts by me that will prove you don't know what you're talking about. I was so happy to be dumb back in 2008 when I predicted that Coach Strongs first team would make a bowl when virtually no one here thought that. Or back when John L. Smith took over after the Cooper disaster and I predicted a winning season because I knew Redman would have the chance to show what he could do. No one thought we would win 5 games that season.
I don't think 11-1 is an unreasonable prediction. But blowing every opponent out of the water by 30 points or more is reserved for teams that are among the greatest College Football teams of all time. But I could see Louisville beating those teams not named FSU, Clemson and Houston by 2 or 3 Touchdowns.
That's pretty much what I predicted except for Houston as I don't think they're as good as some think they will be. They have Ward back but lost their top two skill position players and much of their top defensive players. They are touting a true freshman on defense which isn't a good sign for a strong defense.
No doubt Houston is going to be a very good team but I don't think they're at the place Louisville is in overall talent.
Yes, it was Memphis and D'Angelo Williams and it was at Papa John's. Nobody is perfect, especially Bobby Petrino. And I said anything is possible. The Cards could lose at home to a good NC State team. I wouldn't be shocked. Marshall however, is in a rebuilding year and although I'm sure they will be fired up for the Cards, they won't be facing a mid level team. If the Cards are coming off a loss to FSU, they will take it out on Marshall. If coming off a win, the team will be psyched and ready to prove they're for real and won't overlook a over matched opponent.
I love your outlook and positive vibrations!! I'm all in no matter what happens! L1C4 has been my mantra long before it came to life during Pitino's tenure. I bleed one color and it IS the right color. RED!!
What are you like 10 years old? Everything makes sense now with your stupid comments about Jackson. After this comment, I'm done with your ignorant ***. Why waste time with someone who obviously wants to start trouble than to discuss Louisville sports? Say what you will about me, at least I'm not you.
You called me names in all your messages. I never did until the last one. You are indeed 10 years old.
You are nowhere near as knowledgeable as me. I was going to games in old Cardinal stadium before you were born. I don't need to read up. I lived it.
2013 Louisville was aweful good too. But this Louisville team has a ton of talent.
The 2004 team put 19 players into the NFL. It's freshman class was ranked #56 as a recruiting class that year. The tie-in to now is it's the same coach......... in greyer hair, lol.
