In the ESPN “Bottom 10” for Saturday’s (non) effort. They spell out the end of the game, and it sounds even worse than I remember. Brohm and Co. really need to bring it Saturday. I expect them to.

UNC @ BC - Tarheels ground the Eagles for Mack the Knife to carve them up for a Turkey nee Eagle fest early

How long has that MFer been a HC? Does he feel so safe in his job security that he can coach like that, his team plays like that, and there are no consequences? This isn’t the first time, either. Though, today was particularly the worst. Maybe I’ll cool off tomorrow, but that was epically, historically, bad. Very bad. God awful. No ****ing excuse for that.

He needs to win out or there will be a revolt, I don’t care what his last name is. Total crap.

Each season I predict the Cards schedule based on the expectations and prior results from the season before. I do this with the opponents as well. It's solely for fun but I try to take it seriously as I can. I did very well last season predicting 10 regular season wins.

So here we go.

1. Cards 52 AP 6
2. Cards 38 Jax. State 10
3. Cards 32 GT 16
4. ND 30 Cards 27
5. Cards 44 SMU 16
6. Cards 34 Virginia 14
7. Cards 38 Miami 24
8. Cards 32 BC 13
9. Cards 27 Clemson 24
10. Cards 34 Stanford 17
11. Cards 35 Pitt 17
12. Cards 38 UK 23

Louisville 11 - 1 8 - 0

ACC championship
Louisville vs Virginia Tech

If Tyler Shough is as good as advertised and he stays relatively healthy, this Louisville team can win all 12 games. There's two key ACC games and 2 key OOC games.

I know GT's win over FSU will have the Yellow Jackets ranked when they play Louisville, but I wasn't that impressed with them in that game. It was more the ineptitude of the Seminole's offense that got the W for GT. I think the Cards at home will take care of the rambling wreck.

Its basically the Miami and Clemson games in the ACC for the Cards. Other than those two and GT, the others are going to struggle to win 6 games. And it's ND and UK away from the conference. I could have just as well picked Louisville to again beat the Irish, but I just don't think the Cards will win all 12 games. They're good enough, but this program has never been lucky enough.

I just can't bring myself to pick losing to UK again but it could happen. A lot depends on what the season has done for both teams. I think Louisville is better but they were last season too.

If it's an unlucky season, the Cards could lose 3 or 4 games. A last second FG, a blown call by a ref with a minute to go, key injuries at the worst time, etc...

But if luck has nothing to do with this season, I think Louisville is good enough to make it back to the ACC Championship. I forsee at worst a 9 and 3 season but 11 and 1 is where I'm at.

Go Cards!

Don't know how much it would help, but CPK might want to think about changing his starting line up. Traore gave nothing today. 0 pts and 1 rebound and he can't shoot.

Also have to try and get Rooths more minutes even though he is the lone freshman. His length, athleticism, and shooting could help out with more experience. Edwards looked really timid today as well. Smith was the only guy that looked like he really wanted to be out there and was the high scorer with 18. We'll see how they do in the next few games.

Cards open as 24 point favorites on Draftkings. Bellarmine still searching for 1st win and most likely won't find it Tuesday at 7:00. Cards hopefully worked out some of the deficiencies from Tennessee game and roll over the Knights.

a repeat winner in TheRealVille getting 11 of 13.. Congrats TRV!

Brag on TRV.! Brag about a job very well done sir! Also, to the 3 of you who got 10 pics too!

Tiebreaker does not come into play again his week. But if it did, Kudos go to TPA Cdfan for getting the score perfect at 24-20 with Pitt as winner. Even though team was wrong, score was spot on. Great job sir!

A sincere TY to all of the participants and better fortune in week 13.

My choker award goes to the Cards this week. With Pitt at home choking on the last play of the game to CU a close second. Both earned it.

Biggest surprise to me was KU upsetting BYU and spoiling an undefeated season Tough loss.

Breakdown of 19 players:

11 of 13 - TheRealVille

10 of 13 - Guardman, sccard, BooneCountyCard

-9 of 13 - 73card, Pushupman, HaydenHarris,Koeterback12, RhinoByars, Knucklehank, cardrock

-8 of 13 - cocoa, bdnewton, CRTW, mayo

-7 of 13 - TPA cdsfan, Rollem

-5 of 13 - WaHoo

Best and most entertaining game to me was the Clemson come from behind beatdown of Pitt. Dabo's luck strikes again.

This was a great week for TRV and good for most picr's. We are on the home stretch for this season picr's!

But Curse you Pitt, Cal, KSU, BYU and especially UofL. Bunch of weenies especially the Panthers, and when the Cards beat them will Narduzzi be on the hot seat?

There are a couple of interesting matchups with the Bonus Games this week...pulling for IU over OSU, and Vandy to upset LSWho.
Also, looking forward to Army @ ND and Bama @ OK games, can you smell the Sooner upset special?

Good fortune to ya this week!

Just keep pic'n and grinnin!

Was listening to College Sports channel on Sirus Radio this morning. They were discussing IU and the consensus was that the Hoosiers are in the playoffs regardless of what happens at Ohio State next week unless they also lose to Purdue. One commentator said that IU can’t be penalized for having a schedule with only one opponent in the top 40 (OSU).
Well they can be in my opinion because they chickened out of a game at Louisville this season. No one even brought that up.

Maybe the HC should offer up some of his money to bridge the gap to pay more for key assistant positions ???
I know, just thinking outside the box. That likelihood is as about as possible as gettting into the SEC.

I hate to think it, much less say it...'the Bye' beat us this game. Focus and MO not sustained.

The ACC needs to rethink the scheduling issue. No more 2 bye seasons especially one early in the season at week 3. Lets play FB and focus on keeping the FOCUS on momentum...winning a big game then having a bye week sucks too...and it bit us in the butt this week.

Also, I really despise Clemson and Dabo winning like they did. Now Pitt is going to come into next weeks game with claws out and take pride in making it two in a row against the hapless Cards to salvage their season.

I hope I am wrong ,but two chokers facing each other is a sad, bad look for the ACC and one of them will take it on the chin again. This could have been a national highlight game had both teams played better and won their games.

Cards having five losses going into the UK game would be disgusting to me. At least the Cards don't have to play Texas this next game....just a pissed off Panther team...which is worse?

Oh well, 8 wins is still possible no matter how unlikely that is at this point in time. Cardinals got to find a way to get back up and end this season on a positive note. Just win the damn games like SMU has been doing. How good is coach Rhett Lashley?

The ACC really needs Miami (sic) to step up in a big way the rest of the season...in short to prove that it is not just Clemson and nobody else in the league...and to spoil the SEC/BIG media lovefest.

If the SEC gets 4-5-6 teams in and /or BIG gets 4 or more, CFB will suck forever more....and what has been my favorite college sport to watch will no longer be 'my favorite" anymore...and that just sux to me.

So many great memories of this guy from Crum's earliest teams. Louisville kid who always left everything on the court.

RIP Wes and thanks for the memories 🙏 😪

Sooooooo is he committed?

Hate this. Of course he’s only been charged, not convicted. However he was arrested on some serious assault charges.

Will say this for the guy, he is ALWAYS positive. And that's probably exactly what we needed after 2 years of Sergeant Dingleberry.

Says it was a LONG film session reviewing Tennessee

Says there was a lot of positives to build on.(If you say so) lol

Early part of the 9 days of practice was going back to training camp mode, like summer, then focus more on Bellarmine last few days.

Asked about Tennessee being physical and addressing that, said we always look to play more physical, didn't really say it was addressed bc of that game

Said players approach was great, looking to get better

Tons of respect for Scotty and BU. He and Doug were together at XU, then he hired Doug at Winthrop and Pitinoo snatched him away to come back here.

Nothing really about adjusting after the Tennessee game and how it went(if you say so) lol, just need to emphasize the system and clean things up.

Hope to see something that looks more like an offensive system tomorrow night.

I'll be there, hope a bunch more people will be too

Go Cards

Call the NCAA and the FBI Quincey Riley didn't play worth a shit all game. He couldn't make it anymore obvious!!!!

Way to ruin the program.

For the first time in my memory, I have little expectation to leave Lexington with a win. Brooks has Amoore along with one of the tallest rosters in all of WCBB.

Jeff will unlikely give so many non-starters as much floor time as he did against UT Martin, but that could be exhaustive for our top 5 or 6.

Go Lady Cards!

Title says it all. This has been a trend his WHOLE career. Thought it would change because he’s not always at a talent disadvantage here but nope. Has the team ready for some big games then doesn’t for 50% of the others. Team has played down to teams level all year. We have won games off of pure talent advantages.

About set to get underway.

Next season is tougher. And there will probably be 2 BYES for all teams. Pure lazy coaching won't get it. I see as many as 6 or 7 losses.

4 AWAY GAMES:

8 HOME GAMES:

8/30 Eastern Kentucky
