One aspect that I really liked about Chris Mack’s resume was his record in the heated Crosstown Shootout. Mack was 6-3 against UC. During that time UC had a significant recruiting advantage having been in the Big East Conference, while Xavier was in the A-10. Evenso, Mack owned UC.

On paper it appears to me that Mack values rivalries and excels. I’m really excited to see how that attitude transfers to his team. I always felt Pitino’s dislike of the rivalry game effected his team. Instead of embracing the game he always downplayed it saying it was only important to the fans. I hated that kind of defeatist attitude.

After seeing the staff we’ve assembled and understanding the disciplined style of football Coach Satterfield will bring to our team, I’m feeling good about next season. We have 4 very winnable home/neutral site games with EKU, WKU, UVA, and BC with Syracuse being in a more difficult tier and Clemson and ND being certain losses. If a few games go our way I could see us winning 8 games next year if the problem was solely coaching like some are speculating.

Some road games we may snag are the following
@UK
@wake
@FSU
@Miami

Many of these teams are trending down based on their win totals and lack of coaching change. UK is losing almost all of their impact players, so they are a big unknown. These with the 4 home/neutral games are probably the only winnable games with the exception of maybe NCSU who is losing Findley and we hung with before totally giving up in the 2nd half.

Best case scenario I see an 8 win season, but I think we’ll probably end up at 5 or 6. I have faith in the coaching ability of Satterfield and staff. The only question now is personnel. Wasn’t really a huge fan of turning away nearly all of the class we had, but I’m sure he evaluated personalities and they didn’t fit. Plus they didn’t commit to P5 programs after. Recruiting will be better now that the staff is there, but I’m not confident there are players left this year. And we may only have Tee Martin 1 year. Satterfield will consistently attract good coaches here though which is a refreshing change. Overall I’m excited about the program. Looking forward to big time seasons after a couple years.

The Collision Course has set up a informal gathering that we'd like to extend to the rest of our Cardinal friends. See the note below:



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 Saints to reserve the area in the back of the bar to the right. There are several tables there and good access to the bar.

With nearly 80 percent of the nation’s recruits already signed, many schools are having to look far and wide to plug various holes on their roster. That includes the graduate transfer market, which is just starting to heat up. With it becoming easier for college players to transfer on an annual basis, this year is expected to see plenty of movement.

Today, we look at the 10 most high-profile names on the market and speculate on what type of impact they can have as they finish up their careers at new schools.

Adidas has created a signature shoe for Donovan and it is a good looking shoe. I’d expect our guys to be wearing these around tourney time. A very cool moment for Donovan.

the Cort Dennison rumor?

if i hear one more media member state such a historical year for UK FB. Ok you finally took advantage of a Florida team early in a total system change some other lucky breaks (Missouri) what have they done ? You havent won the east thats historical lol.

LETS BEAT THE $#!+ OUT OF THEM CAYUTS!!!

Being reported from an App State reporter that Tee Martin (WR) and John Settle (RB) will be joining the UofL staff. Martin is a great WR coach and excellent recruiter. Getting Settle to come from Wisconsin would be an impressive haul. He has an amazing stable of RBs he has coached over the years.

I live in South Carolina and they’re talking on the radio today about the possibility of the ACC going to no divisions and playing a rotating schedule in the future, with two best records playing in title game.

I have worked with Tyler through the last three weeks and he isn’t guessing.

... If Satterfield would shut down Brohm's Kentucky pipeline. Louisville should be a much better draw than Purdont and the shit hole that is west Laffy.

Stopping Brohm from bringing in top 25 classes on the backs of KY stars should be a shared priority of Hoosiers and Cardinals alike.

UofL is apparently painting the seats red during the off season. I don’t plan to wear a white shirt that first hot September game vs Notre Dame. I still remember having to trash my shirt after that first UK game as the back of my shirt was red from the seats.

If you're a person of faith, I ask that you pray for the family of Detective Deidre Mengedoht, the LMPD officer who was killed in a horrific auto accident yesterday while performing her duties. She grew up in my church and went to Eastern HS. She leaves an 8yr old son, Preston who attends an Oldham Cnty School. The quotes in the news from Chief Conrad and other officers indicate she was extremely professional and had made great accomplishments in her 7.5 yrs on the force. She is the third LMPD officer to die in the line of duty since the merger of the force in 2003.

Prayers to Wilkie and his friends and family. God is always there.

To Card Nation....blessings of peace and happiness these days...hope you win every sporting event but against one team each year, and more importantly peace and joy in your lives.

Are there legs to this?

Good luck, David.

and choke away their bowl game against Wake. Kicker needs to hit a chip shot to fan OT, hits it twice but play was called because of a Wake TO. Third time pushed it right. I haven’t laughed that much since they missed three free throws at 0:00 and lost to UofL.

Who do we hate?

type of thread.

Peace...on earth
Good will to men
