Top 8 recruiting class, eh....now you are really talking out of your arse. Still. go away....your suckage is strong.

They won the Sugar Bowl 62 years before y'all did, just Saiyan.

God forbid you put that kind of logic in the mind of a Card fan



Santa Clara is 2-0 in the Sugar Bowl but nobody talks about their football teams today

Teams that are 1-0 in the Sugar Bowl (1 hit wonders if you will)
Maryland = 1 MNC in the 1950's
Kentucky = 1 MNC in the 1950's
Boston College = 1 MNC in the 1940's
Navy = 1 MNC in the 1920's
Louisville = 0 MNC
Utah = 0 MNC
Baylor = 0 MNC
Oklahoma State = 0 MNC
Duke = 0 MNC
Fordham = 0 MNC

Congrats Cards fans you have just matched a treasure trove of historically non elite football teams. Again, I see that UK does not have a great football history but I am at least willing to be honest about their place in football history.

Gophers are the only D I college football team to 3 peat as a MNC but nobody makes a big deal about it because as fast as they rose they fell back. Win you your first MNC first, then brag about how UL is a football superpower but until then remember you are on a conference site that has close to 50 MNC's under their belts. 1 Sugar Bowl win is not a big deal here like it might be in the Big East or ACC. Takes a bit more to impress folks here with that Gator win.

For the LOVE of....


Look, Louisville is good. Just not "SEC" good. Why didn't the Big Ten or Big Twatever take Louisville? Seems like a better fit.

Kentucky's 1950 football championship trophy

Why Kentucky will cancel the series like they already tried to do while Petrino was here. Louisville has won 11 (soon to be 12) of 19 games by an average of 17.6 ppg. Yeah I would cancel it too if I were them.

Give me a freakin break you tool. You act like I badmouthed the Navy or something. Youre going to post our record from the 1970's against the $EC but cant handle the one record that matters most to you? You call me an internet tough guy when I haven't even come close to making a threat like you just did. Looks like I struck the grandaddy of all nerves. 66-14. 2-0. Deal with it.

You did badmouth the Navy but you are not man enough to admit it. You never acknowledged Corso's connection with Navy and UL, You did not acknowledge the connection between UL and the V-12 program, and you did not acknowledge the historic presence of the Navy in Louisville. Instead you rehashed your previous taunt like a child who must revert when confronted with a position you can not defend.

You act like quoting Navy scores struck a nerve when it did not. NEWSFLASH, lots of schools beat the service academies and folks who support these schools expect and accept this. With the rise of state schools in the post WW II era nobody expects the Army, Navy, or Air Force to be in the hunt for a national title in college football. What is next, taunting academic schools like Duke, Northwestern, or Vanderbilt for their lack of football success?

If you want to talk smack and at least appear smart at least do like for like.

Military smack between Louisville and the D I schools (Army, Navy, Air Force, TAMU, and VPI)
Academic smack between Louisville and the D I schools (Duke, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, et al) Wik page for the ACC LINK
Sports smack between schools of similar circumstances. Since the Cards have 0 MNC's this should be easy.

Louisville is having an exceptional year in sports and nobody doubts this. They will probably do well next year in the the CUSA level AAC. However, be prepared to eat some crow when 2014 rolls around and the Cards have to start competing in the lowest level of the Big 5 conferences. Not saying UL will not at least be a mid level ACC school but the odds are not in your favor that you will be a conference leader in any sport. Schools ahead of the Cards in the 3 major sports.

Football - 2014 ACC schools ranked by MNC's
(11) Notre Dame - although an IND the Irish can take the ACC bowl bid (Orange only goes to a ACC team if ranked #1 or #2 in the polls)
(9) Pittsburgh - granted the last was in 1976 but that is still 1 more than the Cards
(5) Miami - none since the ACC went to 12
(4) Georgia Tech - granted 3 of those were when the Yellow Jackets were in the SEC
(2) Florida State - none since the ACC went to 12
(1) Boston College - none since BC joined the ACC
(1) Clemson - none since the ACC went to 12
(1) Syracuse - 1959 was a long time ago
(did not list the MD NC from the 50's as they are B1G bound)
FYI, these are the future ACC bowls -
Chick-fil-A / Russell Athletic / Sun / Belk / Music City / Independence / Military / Kraft Fight Hunger - None are BCS games

Basketball
3 NC's will put you near the top of the pack but the ACC has more banners than the conference you are leaving. UNC and Duke are still ahead of you and NC State is just 1 banner behind you.

Baseball - 2014 ACC ranked by CWS appearances
(23) Miami - they also have 4 titles
(21) Florida State
(12) Clemson
(10) North Carolina
(4) Boston College - none in the ACC
(3) Georgia Tech
(3) Duke
(several teams are tied with 2 - NC ST, ND, UVA, and WF - but Wake has a title in theirs)

Viewed another way the following Capitol One points will disappear or diminish when the Cards go to the ACC
Men's Soccer - kiss those points goodbye (15 NCAA titles from 6 schools)
Men's Basketball - probable future reductions
Women's Basketball - could hold but probable reductions
Men's Baseball - kiss those points goodbye after you leave Big East baseball
