Louisville's Coach Chris Mack was asked how much he addresses last year's UofL-UK game. He says not much, but added... "As a competitor, if you haven't internalized that and thought about that 90-61 ass-whooping then (pause) I don't want you on my team."

It fits with my opinion that Mack will be GOOD for the rivalry: https://louisville.rivals.com/news/3-reasons-why-chris-mack-will-be-good-for-the-rivalry

Congrats to Mitchell.

BREAKING: Christen Cunningham says he is good to go for tomorrow's game.

Wisconsin find their offensive lineman? They just reload with cheeseheads. We need to get some of those.

The same GT team that scored 66 points on us here in Louisville just a few months ago, could only manage 10 points against a 7-6 Minnesota team in their Bowl game. GT never punted against us, and while I could appreciate Clemson and Alabama domination ............ the GT game more than any other event provided evidence of serious internal issues with this team. Satterfield and his staff face a huge challenge in finding out what prompted these kids to quit, and how soon can the culture change?

Literally I'm sick and tired, but you know what gets my goat is the way the NCAA gets a yellow streak up its back any time a favored football team such as Alabama or Clemson, both suspending players for the next game, is given a pass and not scrutinized at the same level as other universities when they are in non-compliance with the rules as written. The NCAA is a well oiled machine that can go as fast or slow as they want. And I believe that anything that may take money out of their pockets is a determining factor in their decision making process. In addition, Saban and Swinney are about as gutless as the NCAA, basically saying to every football loving fan out there, kiss my backside we're looking into it. I'm telling anyone who will listen this is a perfect example of the tail wagging the dog. Thanks for hearing me out, I'm still sick and tired but I feel better now

Looking back it would appear that 2018 was a sorry year for Card fans and to me it certainly was worse than usual. But if you take a long-term view of the events of the past year things look much brighter.
First of all we replaced the coaches in the most high-profile sports that needed to move on. Who would have guessed five years ago that Bobby Petrino was good for only four seasons and that was it? That he was totally incapable of managing a DI football program. Is there even one Card fan that doesn't think we are better off football-wise than we were a year ago? I haven't met or heard of one. I am already looking forward to football season and six weeks ago I was dreading next season and wondering if my life-time tickets still had any value.
And basketball is so much more fun without the drama and chaos that seemed to accompany our former coach. The UK game is upon us and I haven't heard one comment about that 'wonderful' program down the road. Although UofL's talent level is inferior on paper to the opponent I actually feel as if we have a chance to win. Simply because our coach isn't psyched out about the opposition and their superior position in the pecking order of college basketball. To our present coaching staff it is the next game on the schedule with a little extra incentive because it is a 'rivalry' game.
There is not one sport at UofL that in my opinion doesn't have the best coach and best facilities to compete for a national championship. Even the loss of the superb Ken Lolla doesn't depress me since he chose to move on and I am very excited about his replacement.
At this point in the athletic calendar we have an undefeated women's basketball team and a potential championship baseball team due to kick off next month.
All-in-all I think Card fans have a lot to look forward to and we saved a few bucks in the process.

We have the better coach, and it isn't even close. Quite drankly, I'm glad this all worked out the way it did. Mack is going to be killing it here in a few years. Pitino is a distant nightmare .

Louisville's Coach Chris Mack will make this rivalry better.

1. He doesn't romanticize UK like Rick did.

2. He'll likely win more games in the rivalry than Rick did.

3. He likes intensity in rivalries.

Thoughts?

Good luck and thanks for the memories.

I was scrolling on Facebook and came across the video of Sosa hitting that 3 to win the game against UK.
What struck me was his reaction after the shot. What I believe were the words ' Our House '

I don't believe over recent years there's been that pride in our teams to protect ' Our House '

It doesn't get mentioned much ,but it should and I think CM is leading the resurgence of the theme and the pride that goes along with protecting The House.

Very good coach and a great recruiter, could join the staff in early January? That would be a HUGE hire, and would definitely help with the February class signing.

Made a huge play near the end of the game to preserve the win for New Orleans. Saints up 31-28. Steelers moved inside FG range with a pass and Rankins poked the ball out while tackling the receiver and the Saints recovered. He is playing really well for the Saints.

Roll Call......M Watson,Guardman,Putvis Griffith,Cards Dan,AJG Cardman,Cardhack,Goods,Rollem Bob West,King Henry, and Kevin( I missed his Site name. A very diverse group. Interesting folks. Beer cold. Good Pizza.

We will schedule two gatherings one for those in town over the holidays and another for those who will be out of town or have conflicts due to the holidays.

Thursday, December 27th 6:30pm @ Saints

Wednesday, January 9th at 7:00pm @ Saints (UofL plays Pitt at 8pm)

I will contact Cliff Amos at Saints and see if he can reserve the area in the back of the bar to the right. There are several tables there and good access to the bar.

It's amazing how much people want to meet up given how often we're throwing snowballs at one another on the board! Christmas spirit at work I guess! LOL!

I'll post this out on the open board as well.

GO CARDS!

The University of Louisville will make a special announcement regarding its men’s soccer program on Thursday, Dec. 27 at noon ET in the training center at Dr. Mark and Cindy Lynn Stadium.

Trailblazer Norika Konno ready to turn heads in U.S.

I couldn’t link the article but she is a player from Japan.

2nd team all state. CJ says Purdue is recruiting. I would like to see UofL pull some kids from Southern Indiana. Hey Peter Bowen CHS class of 1976,UofL lineman, can you introduce Marion to the new staff?

Not bad, but I doubt he is a starter there. Could get some decent minutes in Taggarts system.

Named $EC Porker - er, Coach of the year. This has triggered the automatic 20 year extension, as well as the free food for life at Culvers clauses in his contract.

Poops Troops!

Memphis vs. Wake. Pulling for Memphis, Wake’s Coach is a total DB.

Notre Dame vs. Clemson. Pulling for ND. Rushing the field after every game, using $2 bills, and rubbing a rock is just odd & cult like.

I’ll be for the rest of the Conference members in their respective bowls.

Also, I’ll be rooting for Penn State. If there is anything more disgusting than the not so distant past behavior at Penn State, it’s the Ky fanbase.

Enjoy!
