I believe the defensive performance that we witnessed against Clemson was at least in part a result of playing a pocket QB, as compared to the far more athletic dual threat QBs that we saw at GT, at ND, at Miami and at home against SMU.

I don’t believe the majority of UL fans (myself included) had any idea as to just how good those opposing QBs would be when the season started. Leonard, Jennings and Ward may very well be among the best in college football this season.

Sadly; I did not leave college sports …… it left me!

I have been on record as expressing my opinion that HS recruiting is no longer the key to success in College Sports, and frankly WCBB is the “poster child” for that position as there are only 5 players that any team can have on the floor at one time. It should be evident that having an experienced D1 college player with a strong resume coming out of the Portal is likely to have more impact than an incoming HS graduate.

I will acknowledge that Portal cannot be effective by itself, as every school will still need to utilize the HS a recruiting path to some degree, but last year’s UL class is more likely the model that Jeff will be following in order to remain a top ACC contender.

Morehead is picked to come in 5th in the OVC in preseason poll. They might not be as good as they were last year. They will be best team Louisville has played so far. I could see around a 20 pt win for the Cards.

Ultimately, “ranking” is just somebody’s opinion. It really means nothing.

It means something because top 25 teams get more coverage than those outside of the top 25... generally speaking.

She made her choice when a local turns down the home town school who has one of the top programs in the country I am done with them. If she doesn’t like it at LSU I don’t want her transferring here she can go somewhere else.

I don't think so, but I don't know much about Morehead State other than they're not going to be intimidated.

I think it will probably be more like 20 points. 84 to 64, but wouldn't be surprised if it's closer than expected. There will be some nerves in the first real game, but these are very experienced players for Louisville so it shouldn't do much harm.

If the Cards do win by 30 that would get the attention of the hoops world for sure.

Again, I can understand the shyness because that last turd was historically bad, but we have at least 10 guys(?) that were in the tournament last year that are upper classmen, many of which are 5+ years playing college ball. I plan on making a butt ton of money on UL over the first month of this season because betting sites are going to use historical data. 95+ to under 65 is final score. 30 point victory at the minimum.

It’s ironic you asked that.

I have caught myself being far less “involved “ than in the past.

I went fishing during the ND game. Should’ve during SMU.

Players getting paid, then quitting, get kicked out of games for playing real FB, double PI calls, and phantom penalty reversals, has busted a whole lot of my give a damn.

I hope they do well. Even great.

But if they don’t, there’s always fishing.

Not due to you personally, but that sentiment is at the root of a lot of our financial problems…

Disrespect them all you want. They’re blowing out Big Ten teams at home…

We were the better team. I think if we play them 10 times we beat them 7 or 8 times.

Sure, if we play like that every night out.

That’s been one game in nine in case anyone has amnesia…
