What's this?

Let's wait and see if everyone remembers UL 10 years from now


Jurich has a lot to do with their smoke and mirrors success, selling out to just about anyone or anything. When he leaves and Petrino leaves again, UL football will be back to what they were in the 70s, 80s and 90s. But they'll always have basketball but no one ouside of the Louisville metro area will care.

FWIW Baylor had a great thing going too. Let's see where they are in a few years. Both similarly corrupt programs IMO.

EDIT: Louisville football is still just above average. Tech was a better football program last year, but UL had flash with no real power. UL turned out to be a joke by year's end losing 4 of their last 5 games. Your Hoos should have beaten them and UVa was the better team when they played. How Lamarvelous Fumblemeister ever got the Heisman over Watson is still beyond me.

  WVU does sell tickets, and their fans live in the ACC footprint. -- HOO86 05/25/2017 10:44AM
