Kyhunter79: You need to take a step back, take a deep breath and back off from calling people on here morons and idiots. No need for that.

While you are doing that, can you please send my my $50 for correctly stating that UL nor WV would not be in the NC game this year. My invitation is still open for you to come down to Butler County and watch UL in the Turkey Bowl played on Thansgiving (the overrated teams play early).

Finally, your statement that Rutgers has the best defense in the nation is ridiculous, try being the best in the Big Least Conference first.

For someone that lives in louisville I was scared that UL would play for the NC and it would be the embarrasment of the century.
Rutgers hasn't beaten a ranked team since 88. UL had their extra point blocked, and the Rutgers defense all backed off from the ball, allowing UL to pick it up for a two point conversion????????:eek:
It was the biggest crackerjack play I have ever seen, the defense didn't even know the rules of the game. UL got beat by a crackerjack team that doesn't even know the rules of football.

Do you even know the Rule in football on a blocked extra point? If the ball is blocked and stays behind the line of scrimmage then it is anybody's game. If it is blocked and goes past the line of scrimmage then only the defense can touch the ball (if the Offense does then it becomes a dead ball). It is just like a punt if the defender touches it it becomes live again. The ball was so close to the line of scrimmage the guy just didn't want to chance it. So I wouldn't say that UL got beat by a team that didn't even know the rules. They just got beat by a good team with a great defense.

Yes, I am well aware of the rule. You obviously didn't see the play. The defense not only chose not to pick it up, they backed way off the ball, allowing UL to pick it up and score a 2 point conversion. That was obviously a misunderstanding of the rule.

That was nothing compared to Hester's return last nite in the Bears vs Giants game.....The Giants were unbuckling their helmets and walking off the field when Hester returns one for 108 yards......:rolleyes:

Dude, what is your problem?

Ryan, you need to understand that UofL has a very good team. That is the media consensus from coast to coast. Some may say we should be ranked as low as 13 or 14, and those are the doomsayers. Some say we should be much higher. Whether you are 13th or 3rd, that is a very good team. Would you think the Cats were good if they were ranked 13th?

We rolled UK. We rolled K-State, which rolled Texas. We rolled Miami. We rolled W.Va. We got beat on the road by a field goal to a team that was in the biggest game ever for it and which, by the way, shut out Illinois, something OSU could not do.

Sagarin ranks the Pac-10 first, the Big East second and the SEC third.

He ranks UofL 3rd nationally despite the loss. UK is ranked 48th, one spot behind South Florida.

Sorry, we have a good team. We are in a competitive conference. We will go to a bowl game, and our fans can watch all of our games on television live. Please take care of your house before you talk trash about ours.

It is hilarious that fans of a team that goes 1-7 over an eight yr span against the Ville is so quick to point out the flaws and problems.

How can you be so sure that a Ohio St, or Mich team would humilate UofL on a neutral field when those two big programs just sqeaked by the worst team in the Big Ten (Illinois), and Ball State (MAC powerhouse).

Here is a suggestion.....

enjoy the fun UK football is having, and quit worrying about a team that laid a 31 pt loss on the Kayuts.

Stay classy blue bloods!

again, this wasn't really for you - although i AM tickled that they lost. one big reason for that is now i don't have to listen to kyhunter79 anymore about a NC. he was rubbin it in when things looked great, and now i'm returning the favor, thats all really. as far as talking trash about UL, i didn't say anything negative about their team- at least here in this thread ;) . IMO, had bush NOT gotten hurt they had as good a shot at winning the whole thing as anybody. IF UL had made the NC game, i woulda rooted for em - even if that meant having to listen to kyhuntery79 rub it in:)

Some said they should have been in the NC game, but that is/was proved to be wrong. IMO, U ol L is only slightly better than U of K at this point, but it really hard to tell with U of L's schedule. Most experts don't believe what you say about Sargin's picks. You really need a dose of reality if you believe what you typed.

Anything can happen on a given game day, including something as bizarre as a low life Big feEast team beating the projected NC game contender? Was it a fluke or is Rutgers the team in the Big leEast???? We don't know because of U of L's schedule weakness. We also don't know how WVU and Rut would do agains the SEC, but most including myself would bet on the SEC most days.

We DO know how WVa would fare against the SEC Champ--remember Georgia.

WVa crushed Miss. St. 42-14 at MSU. Rutgers beat an ACC team, a Big 10 team and Navy.

Ryan, the thing is that the BCS formula does exactly that. The computer grinds out UofL's strength of schedule (SOS) using as one component the strength of our opponents' schedules. That's why the UK win over Georgia was huge, and became even more so when the Dawgs won the following week.

The stats I cited weren't for the purpose of trying to predict, for example, whether Middle Tennessee will beat the Gamecocks this weekend. Spurrier is a 15 point favorite, BTW. The stats were for the purpose of showing that the UofL schedule wasn't as weak as a lot of people want to say that it is. When 10 of your 12 opponents are forecast to have at least six wins at the end of the year, that's pretty unusual. At the beginning of the year, people were talking about UK being a patsy SEC team, and therefore not really a game against an SEC opponent. But yet, here we are, looking at a very real possibility that the Cats could take the Vols. Lo and behold, the Cats are improved as they were forecast to be.

Unlike basketball, football schedules are made several years in advance. You can't fault UofL that Miami imploded this year. You would have expected Miami to have been a warrior when the game was scheduled. By the same token, you need to give Rutgers a lot of credit for rebuilding (or maybe building) that program in a hurry, and for Schiano finding a scheme that utilized his team's small size but tremendous quickness to their advantage.

I remember being at Virginia in the early 70s. We couldn't beat anyone. Yet a decade later, they were a powerhouse in the ACC and have stayed around the upper tier, although this is a down year for the Cavs for sure. The same thing with UofL. Cooper departs at 1-10. John L. comes in, uses basically the same players, and puts us in a bowl the next year and every year thereafter. Just because a guy puts on a Vols helmet, or an Irish helmet, or a USC helmet doesn't make the guy superman. It will give him confidence, and it may intimidate some of his opponents, but it will not make him unbeatable.

Notre Dame is the only major power that can take on all comers, because it is an independant and has a major TV deal. The rest of us have a select few spots we can fill. Because of the money tied to the bowls and the ability to gain another month of practice, bowl eligibility is HUGE. So empty slots get filled with teams that know they won't make a bowl but need a paycheck to keep their programs going. It sucks, but it's a fact of life in college football, just like playing on Thursday and Friday nights.

As for UK and UofL playing right now, that would be a fireworks show, for sure. I don't think either team could stop the other. My guess is that the Cards' defense is just a tick better than the Cats'--probably good for one possession. Which would be the difference in the game. Depending on who goes and who stays, next year at Commonwealth is going to be fuuuuuuun, no matter who you root for.

if you guys REALLY believe that uk would give UL a close game in football. then u also must know that UL would get completely dismantled by ohio state.:) thats the main reason i'm glad they lost, i just didin't figure them to be the same caliber team as OSU or Mich, and i felt like they would ruin the national title game. but seriously guys, its basketball season now ;)

I couldn't disagree more. UofL would be very competitive against OSU due to match ups and style of play. UK would also be competitive against UofL because of its offensive play right now. Brooks has the offense really tuned up right now and they will be tough to stop. Their defense is very porous, though.

I know that sounds a little odd, but it really goes back to how the teams are built and how they match up. Personally, I think the UK offense is probably on a par with OSU, maybe better.

I don't even know where to begin with that one. I am a die hard, I mean die hard OSU fan. I am not some bandwagoning homer that roots for #1, I was at the Shoe last year against Texas, I was there through Cooper, watched the "pose" (woodson's hiesman pose), cried when UM won it all in 97, I screamed so loud when I thought they weren't going to throw THE FLAG back against Miami that I busted a blood vessell in my eye, then I danced when they threw it. I am as die hard as they come and can honestly say and OSU matchup with either UL or UK would end in a blow out. Dude, there isn't an offense in this country that has more talent that OSU. The only reason that there hasn't been 60 points put up this year is becuase Tressel is too classy to let that happen. OSU's 2nd string would beat uk by double digits and UL straight up. Don't get me wrong Brohm is a great quarterback, and with Bush UL had 2 legit heisman contender, but their defense is pitiful. A great offense will win you awards and accalaids, but a great defense wins championships.

No, UK is tied with Tennessee in the east division with a 4-3 record.

Cincinnati is "terrible"?????? Four of their losses came to ranked teams, and I guess you didn't see their game with OSU.

How can you say that the Cats' performance Saturday wasn't anything other than pathetic? Brooks said it, the UK announcers said it, the UK players said it and the thousands of booing fans in Commonwealth sure said it. The reason's pretty obvious--a hangover from beating Vandy and returning to bowl eligible status. It's the same thing that got Rutgers.

One thing about college football is that teams coming off big wins pretty frequently either lose or come awfully close to doing so.

I doubt very seriously that UK will play this Saturday like they played last Saturday. I think they very well might sneak up on Tennessee.

OSU is beatable. Ask Illinois. Saturday was one of the biggest games in the Buckeyes' history, all the marbles were on the table against their archrival and they were playing in the 'Shoe. Don't forget. Last year Leinert and Bush were invinceable, until Texas rode into town.

A couple thoughts from my perspective.....
(1) Maybe UK can combine their offense with Cincinnati's defense and put together a descent team. I still can't see how Archer is keeping his job......Our defense sucks..... but I would have to agree that they might sneak up on Tennessee. If the defense will just show up for a little while then Woodson and the boyz might have a chance.

(2) who deserves to play OSU in the BCS championship game?
(3) As for Rutgers that just proves my point earlier that they didn't deserve to be where they were just because they hadn't been beaten..... kinda glad they lost otherwise OSU would have been playing a gimme game against lessor competition...
