I will say that UofL is moving forward on multiple fronts and in multiple sports.

Will it continue long enough to change the school into a perennial athletic powerhouse like Ohio St. or LSU, is the real question.

The move to the ACC will help in the long run even if the teams records take a hit during the transition.

In all honesty I don't care about UK. The teams aren't even in the same conference and the games rarely count for anything more than bragging rights... 2011 being an obvious exception.

I know you guys own us, but show us a little respect!

Our all-around athletic department is second to none.

I would say probably not. It takes more then one or two years of success to even come remotely close to being that good.

The problem for UofL is in the ACC in basketball they will always play second fiddle to UNC and Duke. And in football, it remains to be seen how well they can do in a much better conference than the Big East or C-USA ever was week in and week out.
