Re: Louisville

I am a football-first Card fan and don't think we beat you guys without a minor miracle. I can't really conjure a situation in which we do win given the nature of the lines in football. If you see optimism on our behalf, it is because this is our second BCS Bowl (beat Wake in OB lol). We did pop Alabama in the Fiesta, but that was decades ago. Not to be perverse, but it is an honor just to talk football with you guys for a few weeks until the game. I would argue that Louisville Football is no anomaly and on the upswing, so it wouldn't be totally unreasonable to catch us again with a more talented and experienced roster. But what do you expect from our fans? We don't play SEC or Pac-10 football, so of course we think we can knock you off because or level of football knowledge is inherently low. Hopefully we can see some class on both sides, and while you may yawn a few times, I would hope that you can at least ascertain why we are so excited at this point. It is a credit to your program, and any stupid threads on our board bashing your attendance or the like should be ignored since I probably wouldn't be excited to play us either as a Gator fan. Just a little insight, and keep the UK streak alive that is now at a quarter of a decade.
You have one of the best coaches in all of college football...your program IS on the rise. Most of us have the utmost respect for Charlie Strong. I hope that one day in the far future(Muschamp here for 10-15 yrs I HOPE!) that he returns here. And your team DOES have a good chance tonite to win the game. Not if we play our best..but if we come in flat...or dont take this game serious...who knows. That why they play the game.
I'm pretty sure Boise or Utah had bigger point spreads... but biggest upset to use that with the qualifier ( which isn't there on the front page) is about what I'd expect from a member of the media.
