Clearly

[OlhamCardinal]

We are the most insignificant team in the ACC. Obviously we are not anywhere near the top 25 in any poll. Without a doubt we have no chance of making the NCAA tournament this year. It goes without saying that we have no say in the ACC race and we, in no way, will be any sort of factor in this basketball season. If we weren’t some insignificant boil on the buttocks of college basketball then surely the four letter network which was happy to show our meaningless game on their network today would have bothered to show even one highlight of our game today. Sure, our game didn’t feature an upset like other games had and our game didn’t come down to a last second shot, but, unless I’m mistaken..we did actually play today. You just wouldn’t know it from watching ESPN highlights. Yeah, they mentioned our score but that’s the least they should do for an insignificant, meaningless, non-factor of a basketball program such as ours. I guess that someday we can aspire to have a program as prominent as Seaton Hall or Butler....but, I guess, not this year. SMH.

I've never figured out why ESPN hates us so much. Why do they? I mean, it's so obvious Stevie Wonder could see it.

Dont matter.
Win the Title and theyll have to talk about you.
Let the other clowns have the spotlight.
Cards just keep winning.

I do think it matters. It matters in regard to recruiting. It matters in regard to our brand. It matters to poll voters. The nation watches ESPN and when we are ignored, it matters. Perhaps I’m just small minded and my feelings are hurt, but when the program I have loved since 1968 gets ignored and when the players I love who work their asses off to achieve one of the best records in the country are treated like they don’t exist then yes, it does matter....to me.

I understand wjat youre sayin,and agree however
the media has their favorites.

Theyll talk more about Louisville losing than them winning.

So we’re boring. That’s a good thing when you’re ranked #6.

Of the 19 games featuring top 25 teams, 9 of the ranked teams lost today. You could do a half hour college basketball highlight show giving 2 minutes to each upset and not even mention any of the winners.

I’m pleased that we weren’t one of the nine teams being talked about!

I would like to know why during the ACC commercials, our fans are nicknamed “the Villains” while everyone else has their regular names like “Cameron crazies” and Clemson “tigers”? Why couldn’t we just be “the Ville”?

That’s a self-given nickname. It’s on the student section banner.

ESPN has their priorities. Duke/UK/NFL/Alabama Football/SEC football... UNC, a little more Duke, a little more UK, the NBA, Duke, UFC, UK, some more NFL/MLB... a little more Duke, a little more UK.

The Cards aren't part of this. Only so many seats at a table.

Not sure if players even watch ESPN anymore with social media and the fact that 99% don't care too much about the things above ESPN pimps out on the reg, but if they do, and notice it, maybe it's a good thing, one more motivational factor.

Just look at the home town paper. The CJ had a losing Cayut article on page 1, and the coverage of an important Cardinal road win on page 4. Why should ESPN give us more respect than the CJ?

Its why i stopped buying the crap journal.
The lex herald would NEVER do this to uofk.

Its time for Cards fans to cancel their subscriptions.

 

[OlhamCardinal]

And today’s CJ had a USA Today article on pg. 3 of Sports starting the #1 seeds as of now are Baylor, Kansas, San Diego St. and Gonzaga. Then goes on to say, “At the 2 line, Duke and Fl. St. are well positioned to ascend to the top seed line based on overall credentials. The other projected #2 seeds Seaton Hall and Villanova are positioned to improve their profile because the Big East is #1 in the NET conference rankings.”
The article never mentions Louisville at all.
Also, what am I missing about Seaton Hall? A five loss team that still gets tons of respect. They do have wins over Maryland and Butler but that’s it. WTF??

I quit buying the crap journal a long time ago and I agree Louisville fans should not buy their rag of a paper. I always go on their online to see if there is an article of interest and then I just google the headline and you can read the article for free.
