Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

Louisville’s Juggernaught predicted to be #13 by Athlon

If an SEC school (except for Ole Miss and MSU) played this schedule they would be in the top 20 too. Face the harsh truth, Louisville has peaked and is a comet whose zenith is plummeting back to earth faster that Tim Tebow’s SAT scores. When WVU and Rutgers dominate a league (thanks Big East/ESPN Contract) you know things really suck bad. [Athlon]

2007 Schedule
A. 30 Murray State
S. 6 Middle Tennessee
S. 15 at Kentucky
S. 22 Syracuse
S. 29 at NC State
O. 5 Utah
O. 13 at Cincinnati
O. 20 at Connecticut
O. 27 Pittsburgh
N. 8 at West Virginia
N. 17 at South Florida
N. 29 Rutgers

ESPN Thursday Football won’t ever be the same again. Why Brian Brohm chose to stay to deliver pizza for a coach with two last names is mystifying at best. He should have bolted when Petrino (who is in over his head in the NFL) departed.

    I love people that try to make a living flapping their jaws!

    You don’t have to tell the truth! You just have to be exciting in the way you say it!

    The truth is that Louisville has Tom Jurich. And as long as he is there, Louisville will be progressing or Tom will find a new person to get them there. Every sport, every single sport has shown dramatic improvement under Tom’s tenue. I think I’ll bet on Tom and not some jaw flapping has been.

    When Louisville came out of C-USA the first year everyone was predicting we would run the table on the weakened Big East. Well a you know who would say, ” Not so fast my friend” and I’m saying it now about your little article. Try printing anything but substance-less garbage please. That schedule is not the worst we have played and it is not the best either. Let it be known right now that Vandy and Georgia tech both backed out of a home and home series with us that would have kicked of this year. So please, take some time to do some research before you go flapping your stupid pie hole to millions of clueless readers. Thanks

    OK, some this is written (Hastily, I might add) tongue in cheek. The national perception is that UL plays in a weak conference with a weak schedule. Colin Cowherd doesn’t help you much either when he picks you apart

    Yeah, because playiong Vandy would show the world Louisville is for real. What a joke you are.

    As for Louisville:
    enjoy the trip back to obscurity unless you have another coach whose brother is the best high school quarterback in the country or another Michael Bush growing up next to campus.

    You are the east coast fresno state.

    Jai is fly. Leave him alone. He’s right — first of all, calling him out when you’re a UL fan is like saying Florida isn’t the best college in the history of the universe. It’s just retarded. The Big Least is weak — and they showed it last year when they were handed two top 10 rankings in the pre-season and did shit with them. Plus, your upcoming schedule is really tough. Tough like Mitch Mustain’s mom. UL is going to lick grommet next year and so is the Big Least. Should’ve enjoyed your moment in the peripheral of the spotlight while it lasted – cause it aint comin round anytime soon. And how was your hoops team last year? You lost to a fraud Pitt team that showed how bad they were against UCLA and then you lost to a decent A&M squad. Yeah, great finish to a mediocre season. That’s really something to brag about douche choad. Look, if you’re gonna come into an SEC realm and talk shit, you better go to a good school. Like … West Virginia. Otherwise, stick to lauding over your wins over UConn and go back to trying to bang chicks not smart enough to get into UK.

    TGB, I will start off by saying that you obviously didn’t watch any other bowl games other than the NC b/c saying UL and WVU did nothing with the ranking they were given in the pre-season is bullshit. WVU went to the Gator Bowl and beat the 2nd best team in the ACC with an Pat White fresh off an ankle injury. And UL went to the Orange Bowl and beat WF. Say what you want about the BE but they were 4-0 in bowl games. You might wanna do your homework before you pop off about something you obviously have no idea about. On another note, I wouldn’t mind mopping the floor with your hoops squad next year either. I seem to remember a little ol’ C-USA team knocking off two SEC teams ranked #1 in the same year. Now go bask in your $EZ glory.

    You are a UT fan talking to a UL fan about football. Stop living in the past, you are a has-been. We beat UK, an $EZ team, by 31 points last year. If I seem to remember correctly you got saved by Woodson getting a delay of game penalty on the 5-yd line. If that does not tell you that you are not what you used to be then you need to come back down to earth and start living in the present. ITS OVER! GIVE IT UP!

    Keep dissin’ the Cardinals, and we’ll just keep winning (and smiling). And, maybe, just maybe, one of these years one of those SEC teams (that’s not our in-state rival) will agree to venture into the Pizza Pit and attempt to expose how “fake” the Cardinal football program is……but I doubt it.

    I guess we’ll just have to continue pounding on the poor Kentucky team and wait for another SEC bowl matchup. It’s been 17 years now since we had that opportunity, and that one was pretty funny when we bitch-slapped the mighty Crimson Tide in the Fiesta Bowl. And, I know, that was one of the worst Alabama teams (even though they were crowned Nat Champs a mere 12 months later).

    Hoover High School of MTV could “keep winning (and smiling) in the Big East. Keep on living those moments of beating UK and a 17 year old win against Bama.

    ajg, Bama won the MNC two years after that totally embarassing loss to Louisville.

    And Louisville continues its tradition of playing a doughy soft schedule.

    You Cards’ fans are so cute — kinda remind me of Boise State fans. You guys won something, at some point in time and yet no one cares. Keep chirpin, no one’s listening. As far as saying I must not have watched any games — I hope one of your mom’s many trucker boyfriends gave you some sage advice at some point in oyur life: (besides telling you to stay off the smack) It should’ve gone something like: Its OK for people to look at you and think you’re stupid, but it isn’t OK for you to open your mouth and prove it. One of my old roommates (OK, an ex-boyfriend) actually went to Rutgers. Wait, yup, they’re in the Big Least — and they beat the Cards too. Snap. Its OK fuckstain, we all feel stupid sometimes. I actually watched all of their horrible games — including Judge Ito’s winning kick — the second one. That team, frankly, sucked – they did everything they could to give you the game. And the only reason any of your horribly overrated BE teams did anything this year was because you guys, like Auburn (whom we lost to) were given a top-10 ranking in the preseason that you have to lose, not earn. I know we all appreciate the infinite wisdom of pre-season rankings and the complex matrixes used to establish them, but you guys did shit to earn it and then proved it was a fluke by choking on the Scarlet Knight dilznick. Take you #6 ranking, wrap it in cheesecloth and place it in a remote, dark corner of your home (like where your girlfriend keeps her AstroGlide). Maybe, in 10 years, if you come back to it it’ll be a BCS Championship.

    But I’ll stay tuned, thanks to my ass dagger ex — roomie, and will totally apologize to you if UL takes it to the house this year. Hey, who would know better than a Gator fan that anything can happen?

    Now I have to get back to my bong, it’s lonely and it’s already noon out here. Actually, you and your loser athletic program have inspired me to do a Turkish Car Bomb (roll out of bed, no teeth brushing, grab a shot of coffee, a cigarette and a have a bong hit). Ahh, if all mornings – err, afternoons could start like this. Now I’m gonna get me some Fruity Pebbles.

    Jai, its great to be back. Missed you guys. I was on Walkabout for a while, but I’m back for Football season. Ohh, and what’s with John McClain Cards fan dissin the Vols? “It’s Over.” Wow, that’s some heavy shit. You gonna let him get away with that?

    T-KGB, it is quite amusing how the SEC and the rest of the powerhouse football programs keep bashing the BE about how weak they are and criticizing their soft schedule, but yet I see no intentions of any other teams other than UGA(home and home in a couple years) and UK with enough balls to take their rough and tough SEC prestige to the field.

    BTW, what would be your reason for UGA losing to WVU in the Sugar Bowl 2 years ago? Obviously the BE isn’t as weak as you would like to believe.

    You fucking BE douches are clueless. Why would a big boy football school ever do a home and home with a Big East stadium that seats 42K? No money dickweed

    I can’t explain better than Colin Cowherd does on the one freak win ovver UGA. Fucking UGA is to blame for this BE debacle that ESPN has embraced and is now shoving up our ass every Thursday night.

    You still haven’t answered how WVU managed to beat UGA in the Sugar Bowl. If they were really that bad they would have gotten blown out. You can call it a fluke, but our best beat your best in a head-to-head matchup. What more can we do to gain your respect, you obviously do not want to believe the BE is a good conference.

    […] UGA is the responsible for the Big East Conference’s rise to respectability and national prominence. Yep, UGA getting whipped in the Sugar Bowl by Big East “Power” West Virginia has given all those little fella schools some thing to hang their hats on for 20 years. Who can forget that Louisville beat Alabama 17 years ago? We forgot about it , but those little fellas didn’t forget about, read the comments in the Louisville Preview [Louisville Preview] […]
