Sorry you guys are having a rough year. I did come here before the season asking if Petrino was on the hot seat because I don’t like him. I harbor no ill will to Louisville or anyone here. Just Petrino.

I hope you hire a good coach and turn things around next year. May I suggest Jeff Brohm. He’s a really good coach and a good person as far as I can tell. I don’t like him at Purdue because they’re a division rival of my wildcats and I hope Purdue sucks... except for the rest of the year. Beat Iowa.

had a great game in a losing cause for the Packers. He was all over the field making plays.

McNeil tweeted this 2 hours before the game:

“It’s sad that you guys call your selves fans! Nobody came to the march! I do not want to hear anything from anyone about this!!”

He then tweeted a picture of Nebraska’s stadium and said:

“And we can barely get people to our card March! What “FANS” we have”

Some on here have pointed to the relative "success" of Bobby Petrino in the ACC. I'm not sure I agree. At all! It's getting worse and worse. To use Zipp's favorite expression (out of context), it's a "dumpster fire". Here is Petrino's entire record while coaching the Cards in the ACC. Which is of course Louisville's entire experience in the ACC.

2018: 0-5

2017: 4-4

2016: 7-1

2015: 5-3

2014: 5-3

Altogether: 21-16

Last 3 Seasons: 11-10

First 2 Seasons: 10-6

When It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It.

When It Is Broke Fix It.

It's Broke.

Fix It.

if so, please comment.

Will we have a losing record?
Another NIT team?
Win 20 games & go to NCAA tourney?

I didn't go. But looking at roster and our schedule, looks like a losing season is coming.

For those that went, are we better than that, or is that about right? Scoreboard looks like Bellarmine competed with us.

so, I thought a big scandal was going to be reported by the end of last week and Bobby may not coach another game. Well, he coached (not well, but he coached). Time for some people to put up or shut up.

37 point opening favorite.

Peace

Jeff Walz received a verbal commitment from Narika Konno yesterday. A 5'10" guard, she was on the silver medal Japanese 2018 3X3 squad and on both the 2018 U18 and U 23 squads. She's said to have a great mid-range game, exceptional ball-handling skills and can create off-the-dribble. She's the third player for the class of 2019. Louisville still in the hunt for several others, including #2 ranked point guard Zia Cooke out of Toledo, OH. All four UofL coaches attended Zia's practice in Toledo earlier this week.

And you pretty dam sure gurantee with us it's some screwed up stuff we seem to be involved in everything wrong

On 790AM broadcast Paul Rogers announced the attendance at 49,000+. Alex Kupper broke out immediately in a laugh. I don’t think I’ve heard a color man be so forthcoming in their feelings. Very entertaining.

Bummer, my favorite college sport and my favorite college team will not be going bowling this year.

Ok, the only positive I can come up with from this season are the special teams, (ie punt returns) and the punting and FG units. That is IT!

I am sorry, but this defense under VanGorder is literally THE worst D I have ever seen UL put on the field. Ever. And it is, IMHO, because the kids have NO idea what they are doing. They have talent, but they are never in the right play, scheme or even position to make a play. And that is ALL on VanGorder. He is awful.

Much more!

Wow he is tearing U of L apart today. He has over 200 rushing yards with three touchdowns

I am not expecting this to be easy at all. In fact, it wouldn’t shock me if Bellarmine made a real game of it.

Cards are much stronger and more physical, but new defensive system and Bellamine’s no big offense could be a serious problem.

If the blew clowns are going to lurk, might as well participate.

After all this is called RIVALS

• Most of the teams the AP added we already had on our Top 25 the last few weeks like Utah State, Syracuse, Virginia, Utah, Houston and a few others who have been popping in and out. We put Fresno in last night and Boston College was our 26th team. Differences are highlighted and explained in detail below. We have had 10,000 + votes since last night and will be looking through fan polls today.
