Actually Rollem .............. this last year, as well as the last few years, have demonstrated that being included in one of the 5 power conferences provides a huge opportunity for schools like MSU, IU, NW and Purdue; as each have demonstrated that beating PSU, OSU and Michigan is possible, despite the traditional disparity between those historical programs.
Since arriving into the ACC, UL football has beaten ND, FSU, Miami and came as close as anyone in terms of competing equally against Clemson. Conversely, I am not sure we could even get a home and home with those programs if we had not arrived in the ACC. UC is an example of a very fine football school that cannot consistently get home and home with most P5 conference schools, something that I suspect UL would experience as well if we were left out of the ACC.
GOCDS, in fairness, it is not about "me getting over" the consequences associated with CCS having pursued another HC job; rather its about how Scott's players, his assistants and the recruits respond. I find it difficult to be critical of our coaches (past and present), and with regard to CSS and this UL football team; my comments are simply my own objective opinion based on what I have seen and heard since the story broke about Scott interviewing for a job that most agree looks more about leaving Louisville than going to Columbia.
I was the one sitting in a cold Novemeber 1966 Cardinal Stadium watching UL play Kent State surrounded by less than 4,000 fans; so I will not be giving up on my Cards regardless of their HC, or their record. At the same time I believe that "fans telling it like they see it" will ultimately result in this school learning from its mistakes. I sincerely hope that I am totally wrong, but I expect Scott will leave Louisville as soon as another viable opportunity presents itself.
