****y Cardinals

[Chuckles]

Nothing but respect to Miami from this Cardfan, but I'm gonna try and explain the arrogance.

Here's the thing guys, this game for UofL is much, much bigger than Miami. It really wouldn't matter what ACC team we're playing tomorrow because whomever it would be would have no idea of what they are walking into. It's a convergence of scenarios that are all aligning at exactly the right time...

*First ACC Game Ever.
Joining a real conference and having a seat at the bigboys table is something we've been fighting for for over three decades. As a program, we've had to claw and scratch for every single shred of respect and attention, not just nationally, but locally, in a UK/basketball dominated state that refused to acknowledge we even existed. Tomorrow's game will be a celebration, and a validation that we have arrived, so to speak. We're ready for the ACC.

*Bobby's Back
This is almost as massive to us as #1. The guy who took us to our highest level ever is back and for what some think may be an extended stay(I'm not sure I agree with that personally). We had our most exciting times with BP around and that energy and passion has returned with him. Even without the rest of the reasons on this list this would be cause for a hype atmosphere. We're ready for Bobby Ball.

*We're playing Miami
Nuff said. But I'll say more. Ever since Howard we've wanted to be what Miami is. An urban school in a city(as opposed to a college town in the boonies) that has had to earn praise(and villainy) the hard way. Our game in 2004 at the Orange Bowl is still talked about as perhaps our greatest and most satisfying loss ever. We know what a benchmark beating the Hurricanes is and we're ready to make that mark.

*Lots of Experienced Returning Talent
This has been severely overlooked by everyone who has only looked skin deep at our roster. People say we don't bring back any starters on defense but we actually return quite a bit of part-time starters and even a guy that started in 2012 but sat out last year with injury. Strong was a helluva recruiter and we've got serious talent all over the field, on both sides. And they're experienced. And they're proven winners. They know what it takes to prepare and what it takes to beat top-flight competition.

*National TV - Only Game On
Monday night, prime-time, everybody in the country will be watching and hoping we fail(via Bobby)...Our players and coaches have been staring at this night for **** near half a year. They want to unleash what Charlie Strong held back so, so many times in the past 4 years.

*Blackout
Yeah it's cheesy but black is one of our primary colors(as opposed to a "cool" gimmick ) and Strong literally refused to allow the team to wear black during his tenure. It's kind of a big deal here. lol

*First Game of the Season
We're ready.


Like I said, we, as a school and city have nothing but respect for the U and I just wanted to give my take on the confidence. Good luck to your guys, they'll need it.

Hope that you don't choke on the koolaid and it doesn't run out your nose. That said, I hope you post here after the game win or lose. If you win you'll have my props. If not we can discuss what you didn't know.

Dawg...that was amazing!

We have to survive their early energy advantage to open the game. It's a FAR, or Fury of Anti-Revenge game. Louisville is going to be incredibly motivated to smack us in the mouth again to reassert the pecking order. That's what happens when a team wins a high profile game on the road or neutral site, particularly if it's an upset or by large margin, and then quickly faces the same team again, but this time at home. The road team assumes it owns the motivational edge based on simpleton revenge. Anti revenge at home is exponentially more powerful, especially early in the season before other variables intervene.

I've bet this angle in the first half since discovering it in 1988. Obviously nothing works every time. But the percentage of covers and number of lopsided wins is startling, far beyond any other angle I've uncovered. It worked easily yesterday in the USC vs. Fresno State game. That's another example of a team winning a lopsided bowl game as small favorite and then hosting the same team to open the season. Early demolition.

I discovered the angle based on Miami's 31-0 shut out of top ranked Florida State in the 1988 opener. The Canes had rallied from 19-3 down to upset the Seminoles 26-25 on the road en route to the national title a year earlier. Miami had so much intensity and ferocity in that 1988 game I realized it had to be a situational variable involved. Didn't take long to figure it out. The home team was enraged that the visitor assumed it could march into their place and take something back, solely due to pathetic fragile revenge.

Suddenly dozens of prior results made sense, college and pro. I was annoyed that I had failed to identify this trend for so many years. The problem is that the media spends so much time fixating on revenge that nobody fails to examine the situations in which revenge doesn't work. Seemingly every losing bettor I know in Las Vegas relies on revenge.

The great aspect of this angle is you can isolate the games months in advance. I remember when UCLA went to Texas in the mid to late '90s and scored something like 65 or 70 points while winning huge as a big underdog. Texas with Ricky Williams yapped about revenge for a full year, since they had a game at UCLA the following season. Meanwhile, UCLA was so energized in the Rose Bowl they put up 28 points almost immediately in the rematch. I was howling. My favorite recent example was Oregon at Boise State in the opener a few years ago. Same thing. Oregon mouthed off after losing at home to Boise State the prior season. Boise State was so energized in the rematch that Oregon basically couldn't manage a first down in the first half. I don't remember the specifics but they didn't have more than 1 or 2 first downs at halftime. Boise State was shattering the backfield and Chip Kelly was in shock, unaware of the situational scenario he inherited for his first game. That was the LeGarrette Blount post game punch game. Many more examples, too many to detail. Several pro games stood out. Remember when Tomlinson whined after New England celebrated on the San Diego field after pulling out an emotional playoff game? New England hosted San Diego on Monday Night in game two the following year. I couldn't wait. Sure enough, the Patriots shattered San Diego from the outset of the first half.

When this angle fails, it's generally due to talent differential that has changed radically since the prior game. That's our hope tomorrow. It's possible we trump Louisville in basic manpower and their early energy and motivational edge will be quickly nullified. It might help that we have a freshman quarterback. He doesn't know or care anything about that bowl result. If he's rattled and ineffective early he can write it off to early jitters and not anything the opponent is doing.

I merely wanted to point out this angle for anyone who wants to use it down the road. The good news is that the FAR advantage tends to wear off in the second half. Sometimes it's a dramatic reversal once the home team has used up all the frantic energy. You'll remember last season when Stanford dominated Oregon for the vast majority of the game and then tried to give it away in the final 8 minutes. That was another FAR game, albeit deeper into the season. Stanford had upset Oregon in overtime on the road in 2012 as two touchdown underdogs, ruining Oregon's national championship hopes. It was hardly surprising when Stanford pushed Oregon all around in the home FAR rematch and took a 26-0 lead. Then Stanford ran out of steam and barely held on, 26-20.

I have friends in Las Vegas who bet the home team in the first half when these FAR situations show up, and often turn around and wager on the road team at halftime. Very profitable. I sometimes hesitate to mention stuff like this on non-gambling websites because the overwhelming tendency is to use the one immediate example and overreact to the extreme based on the result. That's what bar stool types do. Gamblers understand the value of long term volume and an edge.

That sounds to me like...

This is what makes you a small fish, you seem happy to just be in the ACC. You havent "made it", your a small fish in a big pond now.

Im just glad your team is the one who has to deal with that scumbag. Just hope he doesn't bolt with a letter to your players like did with ATL if things dont go his way.

Again, another sign that Louisville just is not on our level. I guess its a compliment tho so whatever.

I wont speak about your players because i dont know the roster like that. I do doubt that Gardner will be anything close to what teddy was and the same goes for Pryor and now Parker. You lost your teams best players while we return ours.

Game being on national TV is a wash cause, you know, were both on national TV lol.

Your right, blackouts are cheesy and have lost the cool factor they once had. If you dont have a black uni now your falling behind.

Our first game to, wash.

if awsi is a professional gambler he's right 56% of the time tops. i can probably find a statistic that teams wearing new charcoal/black helmets on the road are the dope at 15-0 ats. If the dude spent that much time typing that ish he's gonna bet it. i'm putting my money on duke and taking the points.

Dum as **** to even bet on this game with a freshman QB. Very rarely do I bet on Miami, I'd be betting with my heart not my head.

 

[PalmBeachCane]

Why wouldn't they be ****y? They just beat the tar out of us, upgraded their staff, and have owned us in every sport we've played them in since 2006. We also have a freshman QB in their house.

Upgraded their staff? Idk if you noticed but Strong is one of the best defensive minds in all of football. Also their DC is on the level of Dortio, he consistently had horrible defenses at UGA with more talent than Golden and Co have ever had to work with.

I'd give anything for "that scumbag" to be our coach. He gets things done, especially on offense. Arkansas was suddenly an aerial circus, if you recall.

As to Louisville "just is not on our level," I'm assuming you're a brand new Cane fan, and are completely unaware of our last December bowl game. On that night, we weren't on Louisville's level. Not even close.

When one makes grotesquely exaggerated generalizations simply to be argumentative, it really doesn't serve us very well.

Let's just see where we are. It's a long season. This Louisville team may have a new coach, but he's poison, and will be poison for years to come. He may know as much about defense as does D'Onofrio, but he knows offense like few in coaching.

We will be the most talented team on the field and it isn't even close. Head to Head I give it to Petrino against Dorito, I give Coley the edge with the weapons we have on offense. IF we play D like we did last year, this will be a battle till the final drive. If we play aggressive and let the dogs loose we will win by 10.

Their recent success is very relevant and necessary for the state of Kentucky. Outside of that state, very few care or notice. There's no way they can ignore how desperately dependent their sports programs/fans are on everything not KY, let alone Louisville.

The Kentucky NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB franchises are called Jack & Shlt. And, it's more dire than that, considering their success is predicated on importing Florida HS talent for its football program. Its no accident that **** near half their entire football program is Miami/SFL players....Acquired by Shapiros primary bag-man, while UM was tagged with the investigation/NCAA title.

I think we all dislike VT, as UM fans. I bring them up, because they've been **** consistent since around the time UM joined the Big East. And, I think that's about the type of ceiling those L'ville fans can pray for. But, It'll be very difficult for UL, unless they have a VA bag-man.

Considering the competition for the local sports dollar is a twelve pack of Miller High Life...They'll pay a premium for coaching and do absolutely anything they can to coax kids to that sports wasteland. They better pray to their football gods Bobby treads very carefully in FL. If someone effs that up, it's perma 4-8.

Until UM beats UL, Duke and others...their ahead of us atm.

As for the game today? Looking forward to 1) Seeing Duke return from injury 2) Who Brad Kayaa is. 3) Has D'Onofrio removed his head from his ***.

As a program, we've had to claw and scratch for every single shred of respect and attention, not just nationally, but locally, in a UK/basketball dominated state that refused to acknowledge we even existed. Tomorrow's game will be a celebration, and a validation that we have arrived, so to speak. We're ready for the ACC.

*Bobby's Back
This is almost as massive to us as #1. The guy who took us to our highest level ever is back and for what some think may be an extended stay(I'm not sure I agree with that personally). We had our most exciting times with BP around and that energy and passion has returned with him. Even without the rest of the reasons on this list this would be cause for a hype atmosphere. We're ready for Bobby Ball.

*We're playing Miami
Nuff said. But I'll say more. Ever since Howard we've wanted to be what Miami is. An urban school in a city(as opposed to a college town in the boonies) that has had to earn praise(and villainy) the hard way. Our game in 2004 at the Orange Bowl is still talked about as perhaps our greatest and most satisfying loss ever. We know what a benchmark beating the Hurricanes is and we're ready to make that mark.

*Lots of Experienced Returning Talent
This has been severely overlooked by everyone who has only looked skin deep at our roster. People say we don't bring back any starters on defense but we actually return quite a bit of part-time starters and even a guy that started in 2012 but sat out last year with injury. Strong was a helluva recruiter and we've got serious talent all over the field, on both sides. And they're experienced. And they're proven winners. They know what it takes to prepare and what it takes to beat top-flight competition.

*National TV - Only Game On
Monday night, prime-time, everybody in the country will be watching and hoping we fail(via Bobby)...Our players and coaches have been staring at this night for **** near half a year. They want to unleash what Charlie Strong held back so, so many times in the past 4 years.

*Blackout
Yeah it's cheesy but black is one of our primary colors(as opposed to a "cool" gimmick ) and Strong literally refused to allow the team to wear black during his tenure. It's kind of a big deal here. lol

*First Game of the Season
We're ready.


Like I said, we, as a school and city have nothing but respect for the U and I just wanted to give my take on the confidence. Good luck to your guys, they'll need it.
http://thecebe.com

We will be the most talented team on the field and it isn't even close. Head to Head I give it to Petrino against Dorito, I give Coley the edge with the weapons we have on offense. IF we play D like we did last year, this will be a battle till the final drive. If we play aggressive and let the dogs loose we will win by 10.

Their recent success is very relevant and necessary for the state of Kentucky. Outside of that state, very few care or notice. There's no way they can ignore how desperately dependent their sports programs/fans are on everything not KY, let alone Louisville.

The Kentucky NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB franchises are called Jack & Shlt. And, it's more dire than that, considering their success is predicated on importing Florida HS talent for its football program. Its no accident that **** near half their entire football program is Miami/SFL players....Acquired by Shapiros primary bag-man, while UM was tagged with the investigation/NCAA title.

I think we all dislike VT, as UM fans. I bring them up, because they've been **** consistent since around the time UM joined the Big East. And, I think that's about the type of ceiling those L'ville fans can pray for. But, It'll be very difficult for UL, unless they have a VA bag-man.

Considering the competition for the local sports dollar is a twelve pack of Miller High Life...They'll pay a premium for coaching and do absolutely anything they can to coax kids to that sports wasteland. They better pray to their football gods Bobby treads very carefully in FL. If someone effs that up, it's perma 4-8.

Until UM beats UL, Duke and others...their ahead of us atm.

As for the game today? Looking forward to 1) Seeing Duke return from injury 2) Who Brad Kayaa is. 3) Has D'Onofrio removed his head from his ***.

Lets see how it plays out. Louisville is an awesome college sports town (btw, there is this place called Church Hill Downs that has a few interesting horse races that generates a bit a national interest as well....you might want to check into it) with avid support for all sports not just FB and men's BB. We make more money than anyone in the ACC, our facilities including the athletic dorms and work out areas (what you don't see) is top notch from FB down to volleyball. We are fresh off a National championship and to to with another final 4 and an elite 8 in the last 3 men's bb seasons, a women's final four and two consecutive College World Series appearances. We lost very few recruits this year despite a coaching change which is actually fairly hard to accomplish. We had one bad hire to replace Petrino the first time, otherwise we would have continued the success we had going until then (10 consecutive bowl appearances with regular top 20 finishes).

We don't have the peak that you had in the 80s and 90s but you didn't either before Howard took your program and built it like he started with ours. We all start somewhere and it is better to be on the rise than the decline. I respect your program and its history which makes it an accomplishment to beat you like we did the last 2 times we played and hopefully again tonight. It is an important game for each team for establishing the tempo as we go forward. This is a transition Year for us in many respect (conference, coach, QB etc) so this could set the tenor for much going forward.

We need to come out on top for our recruting and having our players buy into our new coach. Hope it is a good game and no one is seriously hurt. I hope we win like we did in Dec and then your team goes on to kick the crap out of the rest of the teams they play.

See you tonight.

Nothing but respect to Miami from this Cardfan, but I'm gonna try and explain the arrogance.

Here's the thing guys, this game for UofL is much, much bigger than Miami. It really wouldn't matter what ACC team we're playing tomorrow because whomever it would be would have no idea of what they are walking into. It's a convergence of scenarios that are all aligning at exactly the right time...

Yeah, thank heaven for horses...beyond them my points stand above the other nonsense. So, we'll amend the Lville, KY sports dollar competition to include horses and 12 packs of whatever. I'm sure there are others that'll take up arguing the dependence of KY sports on imported humans...I'll rest the case as fact.

Hope that whoever Lville has prostituting for the school in florida, treads very carefully, it's a fickle and trendy group of coaches and street agents.

As for the 80's and 90's and 2000's...True, it wasn't puppies and flowers before 1980. But as a CFB fan, shy of my mid forties....I've been to 10 Title games (thank the football gods)..Every 40 yr old CFB fan on the planet has seen, or known, that Miami competed in about 25% of all the MNC's during their conciousness. It's disappointing to only have 6 (well I saw the 6th one happen for roughly 8 seconds But, whatever.

Add up UF and FSU's during that period and please understand....KY has nothing to offer CFB. It ends and begins in this state, with Cal and TX bringing up the rear.

Miami will either be good enough to do it again or they won't. Seen it, watched it and kinda lived it...And now, considering how many times we've lost in recent yrs to the who-evers, Lville included. It's the fan bases of the who-evers that annoy...It sucked dealing with Syracuse fans after losing 66-13? It sucked to lose to effin Duke..oh lordy..And it'll continue to suck until we see a championship team again, if ever.

Louisville Basketball is storied, revered and highly respected. Miami Bball is about to have a 2/3 yr run...you expecting UM fans to claim greatness and usurp L'ville Bball when UM beats them, because it's going to happen.

 

[Freddie Bear]

The key to winning this game is long ball control drives to keep Petrino's offence off the field. The fact remains Petrino is an offensive guru and D'Onofrio is the opposite. Ball control and no mistakes and the Canes win big.

[Jax Cane]

I'll make a prediction. Walking in Kaaya will better than Snickers, who sucked last year! Having Duke, Dorsett, Yearby & Waters back & healthy will make a huge difference. Losing Gaines, TC, Highsmith & Rodgers will be a huge help. Them losing Bridgewater, Parker & Dyer will be a huge help. Them having a Dorito comparable of Grantham will be a huge help. Lots to be positive about here!

Considering the competition for the local sports dollar is a twelve pack of Miller High Life...They'll pay a premium for coaching and do absolutely anything they can to coax kids to that sports wasteland. They better pray to their football gods Bobby treads very carefully in FL. If someone effs that up, it's perma 4-8.

Until UM beats UL, Duke and others...their ahead of us atm.

As for the game today? Looking forward to 1) Seeing Duke return from injury 2) Who Brad Kayaa is. 3) Has D'Onofrio removed his head from his ***.

Lets see how it plays out. Louisville is an awesome college sports town (btw, there is this place called Church Hill Downs that has a few interesting horse races that generates a bit a national interest as well....you might want to check into it) with avid support for all sports not just FB and men's BB. We make more money than anyone in the ACC, our facilities including the athletic dorms and work out areas (what you don't see) is top notch from FB down to volleyball. We are fresh off a National championship and to to with another final 4 and an elite 8 in the last 3 men's bb seasons, a women's final four and two consecutive College World Series appearances. We lost very few recruits this year despite a coaching change which is actually fairly hard to accomplish. We had one bad hire to replace Petrino the first time, otherwise we would have continued the success we had going until then (10 consecutive bowl appearances with regular top 20 finishes).

We don't have the peak that you had in the 80s and 90s but you didn't either before Howard took your program and built it like he started with ours. We all start somewhere and it is better to be on the rise than the decline. I respect your program and its history which makes it an accomplishment to beat you like we did the last 2 times we played and hopefully again tonight. It is an important game for each team for establishing the tempo as we go forward. This is a transition Year for us in many respect (conference, coach, QB etc) so this could set the tenor for much going forward.

We need to come out on top for our recruting and having our players buy into our new coach. Hope it is a good game and no one is seriously hurt. I hope we win like we did in Dec and then your team goes on to kick the crap out of the rest of the teams they play.

See you tonight.

We don't care about your assfvck town or shythole school. Fck off.

Lets see if you care more after tonight. You need to work on your trash talk. We were in a conference with WV fans for a decade. This is amature stuff compared to what they dish out. Have some pride.

We will be the most talented team on the field and it isn't even close. Head to Head I give it to Petrino against Dorito, I give Coley the edge with the weapons we have on offense. IF we play D like we did last year, this will be a battle till the final drive. If we play aggressive and let the dogs loose we will win by 10.

Their recent success is very relevant and necessary for the state of Kentucky. Outside of that state, very few care or notice. There's no way they can ignore how desperately dependent their sports programs/fans are on everything not KY, let alone Louisville.

The Kentucky NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB franchises are called Jack & Shlt. And, it's more dire than that, considering their success is predicated on importing Florida HS talent for its football program.

Actually I won't give a **** about you hillbilly's regardless of tonight. Your program has done **** and all your team and fans do is run around swinging theirs.

Look at that, took the functioning ****** 12 posts. Talk about amateur, a decade with WVU fans and that's about where Lville stands with its football tradition. I mean, WTF is it with fans of these starving, dependent, diploma mill shlt-holes?

Chances are very high that you'll expire before you every see your football program hoist a Title? Is that what makes these dopes find rival sites to post on?

What the **** does that even mean? We were in a conference with West Virginia for 11 years, and played them almost every year for 20+. Who cares?

No shlt. Remembering back to the couch burning, garbage can chuckin and Tremain Mack punt blockin program...Louisville fans are eerily similar, at least their internet representatives are making a strong case.
