Uh-Oh -- It's Time for Cardinal Football
Monday, July 21, 2008 at 03:22AM "It's football time in ... The Ville?"
(With apologies to John Ward of Volunteer fame)
As much as I fear the outcome, it's time to start blogging about football ... and that means it's time to blog about U of L football. This fall, that looks like a cause for fear, hesitation, and trepidation, if there ever was one.
No one is giving the Kragmobile much chance of getting off the blocks this year. A few fans have predicted eight wins -- truly evidence of a disconnect from reality. This ain't Conference USA, folks. This is the Big East -- no longer a laughing stock, but home to more than one team capable of making it to the NC game.
I'm going to begin the annual ritual of reading the preseason mags and trying to get a sense of what's up in the great sport of college football. Just from what I've read so far, though, I'd say that when your AD says of this year and the next that he "just wants to get through them," then you don't have a lot to look forward to.
Hope I'm wrong. Hope Stevie K can turn it around. Hope the discipline problems are over, and the discipline on the field is back. Hope they win 10. Hope they go to a bowl.
But I'm prepared, as well, for all those hopes to be dashed.
