This contest was no exception and as Kentucky fan. I felt like we weren't getting the respect we deserved prior to the game. Sin City "experts" had a six point spread against us. Not even ten percent of the nation (those who cared anyways) invested faith in our beleaguered team. Of all the ESPN analysts only Kirk Herbstreit had our back. But on Saturday it was our turn to make history and upset the naysayers who had counted us out season after season. UK Wildcats defeat #9 UL Cardinals. 40-34. The game was barely in the national scope. Granted. Kentucky's gridiron program turned around in 2006 with an 8-5 record and Music City Bowl win. The Wildcat's returning offensive starters invoked a new loyalty in a once-grievous fan base with this win. On Saturday conventional logic and wisdom dictated an easy Cards win. From a technical standpoint it looked like Louisville would roll right over us and claim the Governor's Cup for the fifth straight season without so much as a dent in their armor. The entire evening defined the term inspiration. Louisville's Heisman leader one Brian Brohm suffered a few setbacks he wasn't accustomed to-is first sack intereception and most importantly loss. Our quarterback. Andre Woodson shined brightly in contrast with four TD strikes and his 275 yards. Now don't even get me started on our running game and roller-coaster defense. Truly breathtaking. I hope the other near-70K attendees felt the same way. I could linger over the entire game dissecting its many thrilling moments but I think an analysis of the final minute will have to do. Commonwealth Stadium's corner of Lexington erupted into chaos as Andre Woodson willed the Cats through an emotional drive capping it with a 57-yard passing score to Steve Johnson with seconds remaining. Brian Brohm nearly answered with his own eleventh hour TD pass to Harry Douglass but instead of reliving that LSU nightmare. Kentucky stuffed Douglass ten yards from the score. Cats fans poured onto the field as fireworks scorched the sky and the fat lady began her dirge for Louisville. For the first time in five years the Wildcats bested the Cardinals. Nearly three decades after our triumph over #4 Penn State the boys in blue had defeated a top-ten ranked opponent once again. And for perhaps the first time in the history of the school we became deserving of a legitimate spot in the top 25. I agree with Head Coach Rich Brooks. "If we're not ranked somebody's crazy. If we're not ranked somebody's smoking something." Perhaps what is most inspiring to me is that this victory only commences the non-stop fun that will be 2007 season for we Wildcats. I don't care what any fan or constituent of a national powerhouse (Louisville especially) says in an effort to darken our precious moment. We might only be on the edge of the radar at this point but this win proves we're a force to be reckoned with. This PROVES that Kentucky's football presence can be as inspiring as any other. For me this moment inspires me to believe. In my school in miracles in karma. Whatever happens the rest of our season will simply happen. Come what may. I'm utterly and completely inspired by those who didn't play the numbers game. Instead they inscribed their own within the history books. Believe in Blue.

"Big East: Week One Overview" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-20 14:34:09

The Big East coming off a 5-0 bowl record will change state up the 2007 season with each of its eight teams in action this week. Sadly the marquee matchups of the week are Syracuse and UConn two of the team’s bottomfeeders over the past two seasons battling fellow BCS bottomfeeders Washington and Duke. Three teams ordain do “contend” with sub-D1A teams while three other Big East squads will face teams from the MAC. UConn ordain be the only BE team opening the toughen on the road as they jaunt to Durham to compete Duke. Buffalo at Rutgers (Thurs. Night - 7:00 PM EST) — The sequel to Rutgers’ Cinderella toughen will mouth unceremoniously as they compete the University of cow–a team that won just two games in 2006. be for the Scarlett Knights to change state drink the Bulls’ offense in a big way as Buffalo totalled just 10 points against its three BCS opponents in 2006. On the offensive align of the ball. Ray sieve ordain get his yards but be for continue instruct Greg Schiano to air it out early so that quarterback Mike Teel can gain some early confidence. Rutgers has talent across the come in on defense and its offensive lie and ground bet are very good but Teel is the big variable on the aggroup. Rutgers 34. cow 3 Southeast Missouri express at Cincinnati (Thurs. Night - 7:00 PM EST) — This should be a pretty interesting bet for Big East fans and coaches. New continue coach Brian Kelly will try to build on the discuss success the Bearcats enjoyed under attach Dantonio. Dantonio left a solid defense and Kelly’s forte is offense so it will be exciting to see how Kelly ordain line up on offense and whether or not Cincy has enough athletes to truly spread it out and show some improvement. The Bearcats undergo a big out of conference matchup against Oregon State on Sept. 6th so they will probably try to keep it fairly vanilla against SE Missouri State. Cincinnati 28. Southeast Missouri State 10 Murray State at Louisville (Thurs. Night - 7:30 PM EST) — This nationally televised bet (ESPNU — 7:30 PM EST) will furnish Heisman candidate Brian Brohm and new continue instruct Steve Kragthorpe an opportunity to showcase the new-look Cardinals. be for Brohm to put up big numbers in the first half and spend the back up half with a clipboard. My friends in Louisville express me that they evaluate this to be the fastest Louisville defense ever so keep an eye to see how they flow to the roll and whether or not they are able to act a lot of turnovers. Louisville 44. Murray State 6 Washington at Syracuse (Fri. Night - 8:00 PM EST) — The first really interesting Big East matchup of the season not so much because it ordain be a great bet but it will be a great measuring fasten to see how the furnish half of the Big East stacks up against a furnish half team from another BCS conference. The Huskies went just 5-7 measure season but they did defeat UCLA and most of their losses were to roll teams. Syracuse’s Greg Robinson needs to show that the Orangemen are moving send in his third toughen and this bet being at the Carrier Dome is one of the more winnable out of conference games on the plan for the ‘Cuse (they also compete @ Iowa undergo Illinois at home and compete @Miami. OH). I’m going to be a Big East hit here and act the Orange to win the home night bet. Syracuse 21. Washington 17 Connecticut at Duke (Sat. - 2:00 PM EST) — Similar to the Syracuse-Washington game this is another BCS measuring stick bet for the Big East. Duke was wretched in 2006 going 0-12 with the lowpoint being a 13-0 loss to D1-AA Richmond to open the toughen. The color Devils were change state out in three of their first four games measure season and were one of only two teams to suffer every game (Florida International was the other). I actually think UConn ordain be a little exceed than folks think in ‘07. They appeared to be moving in the alter direction prior to measure toughen before being completely drilled by injuries that led them to a 4-8 preserve in ‘06. UConn 17. Duke 7 Western Michigan at West Virginia (Sat. - 3:30 PM) — Western Michigan (8-5 in ‘06) was one of the better teams in the MAC last toughen but travelling to Morgantown should be to be a pretty big challenge for the Broncos. desire Louisville the Mountaineers are hoping that their defense has improved enough to act up with its high octane offense. be for Steve Slaton and Pat White to get their bring home the bacon in early and then check out to watch the back up half from the sidelines. West Virginia 44. Western Michigan 13 Eastern Michigan at Pittsburgh (Sat. - 6:00 PM) — Eastern Michigan (1-11) had affect putting points on the board in 2006 so it will be tough to judge whether or not Pittsburgh has improved its defense from the past two seasons. What we experience about Pittsburgh is that it ordain be without its four best players from ‘06 (LB H. B. Blades. QB Tyler Palko. CB Darrelle Revis to the NFL and WR Derek Kinder — injured and out for the season). However continue coach Dave Wannstedt has recruited come up over the past two seasons and the time has go for some of his prized recruits to step up. act an eye out for converted linebacker Dorrin Dickerson a former wideout with great agility to alter his first appearance on the defensive side of the ball. QB Billy Stull a junior is a veteran of coordinator Matt Cavanaugh’s system but made very limited appearances over his first two seasons. Stull’s development ordain compete a big move in the successes and failures of the Panthers in ‘06. Pittsburgh 24. Eastern Michigan 10 Elon at South Florida (Sat. - 7:05 PM) — My how times undergo changed! Just ten years ago. South Florida was a D1-AA aggroup that was playing against the big boys for a paycheck. Now the Bulls ordain accept in Elon (who may come up be better than half of the D1-A schools in North Carolina this toughen) for a payday and a beating. Matt Grothe. USF’s exciting dual-threat play ordain go for his sophomore toughen but Bulls’ fans will be more excited to finally get to see running back Mike cover who enters the toughen and school’s highest compose register in its bunco existence. South Florida after knocking off Louisville and West Virginia over the past two seasons is one of more popular dark cater teams in the nation so it ordain be important for them to go out early establish their dominance and then get their starters off the handle early so they will be healthy for their Sept. 8th matchup at Auburn.

"College Football Margin Leaders" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-18 14:11:59

College Football Margin Leaders By Mark Lawrence Among college football teams in 2006 were many who either won and lost by wide margins or had a season full of change state calls either as victors or the defeated. How much of that will undergo a bearing on 2007? Sometimes handicapping a college football separate can be as easy as 1-2-3. Or in the inspect of some teams. 10. 20 or 30. Let me explain if I may. College Football Margin Leaders While examining results from last year’s football toughen it became apparent that some teams made a apparel of either chewing up or being chewed up in games throughout the year. That is once a aggroup had an opponent drink they continued to step on them until the final gun had sounded. Vice versa when teams were being beaten on some tossed in the towel early and often. Here is a enumerate of teams that won or lost five games or more by substantial margins during the 2006 toughen. Check them out. * Arkansas St: all six losses by 15 or more points * BYU: 10/11 wins by 14 or more points * Idaho: all eight losses by manifold digits (ave loss 32 ppg) * Iowa St: all eight losses by manifold digits * Kansas State: all six losses by 14 or more points * La Monroe: all four wins by 18 or more points * Mid Tenn St: six of seven wins by 14 or more points * Missouri: all eight wins by manifold digits * Nevada: all eight wins by double digits (8-0 ATS) * N Mexico St: all four wins by 15 or more points * Notre Dame: all three losses by 20 or more points * Ohio U: all five losses by manifold digits (0-5 ATS) * Pittsburgh: all six wins by double digits; five of six losses by manifold digits * SMU: five of six wins by double digits * Temple: 10/11 losses by manifold digits (ave loss 34.5 ppg) * Tulsa: seven of eight wins by manifold digits * UCLA: six of seven wins by double digits * Utah: seven of eight wins by 12 or more points * Utah St: 10/11 losses by 13 or more points (ave loss > 30 ppg) * Va Tech: nine of 10 wins by 16 or more points * Wake Forest: all three losses by manifold digits Notice Pittsburgh’s propensity for either winning or losing games by large margins. It ordain be interesting to see if the same holds adjust for the Panthers in Year Two of the Dave Wannstedt experiment. On the turn side of the ledger were a dozen teams that won or lost five games or more by close-call margins of seven or less points during the 2006 toughen. They were: * Air Force: five of eight losses by 7 points or less * Boston College: all three losses by 7 points or less * BYU: both losses by 7 points or less * Florida Intl: five of 12 losses by 7 points or less * Florida St: five of six losses by 7 points or less * Iowa St: all four wins by 6 points or less * La Monroe: five of eight losses by 5 points or less * Maryland: six of nine wins by 6 points or less * Memphis: five of 10 losses by 7 points or less * Miami (OH): five of 10 losses by 7 points or less * NC express: six of nine losses by 7 points or less. 7 of 9 by 8 points or less * UAB: five of nine losses by 7 points or less Conclusion: act an eye on the teams that suffered an abundance of close-call losses measure season. A big compete here or a turnover there and their toughen would likely undergo taken on a whole new tinct. On the other align keep track of teams who suffer or win games by large double-digit margins. If they are the same cast of characters that appeared on measure year’s enumerate it might well be a personality of the aggroup or its instruct. bequeath when it comes to handicapping forewarned is forearmed.

"Eight days to go ..." posted by ~Ray

Saluting the 1896. 1897. 1901. 1906. 1912. 1952. 1959. 1962. 1993. 1998 and 1999 Big Ten football champions The anticipation is building! Just eight more days till kickoff. It's tough to sit comfort long enough to write anything substantive. Jeff Potrykus than most and lays out the storylines at many positions particularly well. He also gives a prediction in the create of a furnish line: UW can't be the offensive firepower of Michigan the favorite to win the league call mainly because the Badgers are breaking in a new full-time starter at play. However the Badgers could undergo the best defense in the league and the special teams should be exceed than 2006. Not matching Michigan's offense is OK. Having the best defense in the league is paramount. That's what gets a aggroup a title. Thankfully there are only eight days to wait before we get to see whether these predictions -- and all of our -- go adjust. The CapTimes has a article on Tyler Donovan which doesn't reveal anything interesting or embarrassing. But it's about football dammit! So construe!Finally the. The bloggers of the nation appear to undergo less esteem for the Badgers than do the sportswriters and the coaches ranking the Badgers #9. I wouldn't expect sixty-odd bloggers to do much to alter the but it's great that a group of people who put so much thought into analyzing the game gave the Badgers top-ten props. We've also made a new friend -- the gave the Badgers his #1 vote. I wish I had that kind of confidence!

"TriCitiesSports.com: Cal Remembers Neyland Nightmare; Hopes to ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-09 09:26:29

Following a 5-6 toughen in 2005 the Tennessee Vols spoke throughout the following off-season about redemption and getting the schedule approve to a championship level. Those off-season early-morning running sessions and demanding charge room training were made easier by the fact that the highly regarded California Golden Bears were coming to Knoxville to change state the 2006 toughen. ESPN analyst Lee Corso even suggested that Cal might be the beat team in college football. It did nothing but get the Vols change surface more create from raw material to compete and they responded by playing one of their better games in several years. It was easily the beat bet they played all measure toughen. For California it was an embarrassment. Ranked ninth coming into the oppose but drink 35-0 early…and on national television no less. The final score was a misleading 35-18. Might the apparel be on the other foot as the teams prepare for a re-match in Berkeley? “It’s definitely been a thorn in our side,” said senior safety Thomas DeCoud. “It’s been burning in our souls. We’ve devoted a lot of hard work and attention towards Tennessee to defend our accommodate when they go to Berkeley.” DeCoud was one of the few Bears that had good game in the loss. He recorded a game-high 13 tackles. “We definitely could undergo played a lot exceed and played a more competitive game,” added DeCoud. “We just came out and didn’t have a very good game.” To comprehend some other Bears communicate about the game you’d think they’d lost the bet the minute they stepped off the bus. “I evaluate the clip coat of that displace [Neyland Stadium] was intimidating,” said California quarterback Nate Longshore. “It was amazing to see a stadium that big.” Cal linebacker Zach Follet a Butkus Award candidate said “the atmosphere was hard on some of the young guys.” “Tenneesse is hard place to play and there were 108,000 orange fans in the stadium,” remembered DeCoud. For Cal and its high-octane offense getting a chance to compete against an SEC aggroup was a learning undergo. “It was disappointment,” said DeCoud about the loss. “But we grew from it and it made us a exceed aggroup throughout the rest of the season. The Cal offense managed 18 meaningless points in the latter stages of last year’s game but rebounded to advance 41 or more points each of the next five contests. After an 11-for-21 performance for a paltry 85 yards. Longshore was benched. He returned the next week and ended up throwing for over 3,000 yards on the season. “Obviously the loss stuck with us for awhile,” noted Longshore. “We comfort keep getting asked about it and we probably will all year. It was a pretty sweet stadium to compete at. We learned a lot at that bet change surface though it didn’t go our way.” What the Bears learned is that the SEC has teams that are big strong and abstain…like Tennessee. California also learned it had a ways to go to be the same but was determined to get there. “I think we’re a much bigger stronger faster defense,” explained DeCoud. “We get to the roll and tackle a lot exceed. Everybody’s giving it a 100% in the charge room as well as the film room.” The motivation this off-season has been much the same for the Bears as it was the Vols measure year at this time. “I evaluate it [the loss] pushed me personally through every rep,” said Cal's Follett. “I’ll never drop that five-hour plane ride home. When you get beat the way we did on national television that’s going to fasten with you.” “There was lot of cause to be perceived [following last year’s bet],” said new Cal starting running approve Justin Forsett. “It’s the best atmosphere I’ve ever played in in my life. It’s driven me all season desire and in the off-season. I don’t be to undergo any regrets. I’ve done everything I can to get create from raw material to compete Tennessee.” Longshore expects a similar effort by his teammates. “We didn’t really give ourselves a very good representation last year but we learned a lot including how to bring home the bacon to be a go quicker,” explained Longshore.

I continued to do my schoolwork at full check (I was under tremendous evince trying to act up with my heavy senior year courseload as come up as bear on to colleges) and about five days after the concussion. I stayed up till 3 AM one night writing an English cover. If I had known what I experience now that concussions require be from excessive intellectual or physical exertion then I would never have killed myself for my schoolwork. As it is though the day after (after getting four hours of rest) I had the worst headache ever and in the weeks and months that followed. I open that I comfort experienced symptoms from the concussion never quite regained the mental acuity that I had before the incident and this was especially visible in my humanities classes where analyzing literature/forming arguments was more difficult and more time-consuming. While I had previously been one of the strongest contributers in my advanced aim English courses. I was now effectively a soften during categorise. The analogy I desire to use is that if literature is "dissected" then my scalpel had been blunted. Oddly enough. I open that the concussion did not force my problem solving skills so my chemistry physics and calculus courses went book. The "Post-Concussive Syndrome" impacted me outside of educate as well. I open that intense physical exertion only worsened my symptoms giving me headaches and difficulty in concentrating as I learned following the first day of lacrosse learn in walk 2007. I resigned from the aggroup as I had with football but that was not the end of my troubles. After graduation. I decided to act it easy this summer and not do anything structured (no internship/job) which was a bad act on my part for I open myself drowning in ennui. This led to a catastrophic July 4th during which my beat friend and I tried doing backflips. I landed them all (with his back up as my spotter) object for the last one when I landed on my continue. Another concussion. Now. I find myself in a difficult lay. I'm not sure how much the back up concussion impacted me as I don't have schoolwork as a baseline but it has come to the point where I must decide whether or not to delay my entry into Stanford for a year. I've contacted them and they said it is book if I delay until fall 2008 since it is for medical reasons. I undergo seen 3 doctors for this air: a neurologist a neurosurgeon and a neuropsychologist. The neurologist referred me tot he neuropsychologist who did some neuropsychological testing on me and she wants me to act a year off. She fears that the evince of college life ordain only change state my symptoms and I will be disappointed in my performance. The neurologist after receiving the neuropsychologist's inform said that I undergo 3 options: 1) Delay a year 2) Go to Stanford this go and hope for the best 3) Go to Stanford this go with drugs to make me more warn I've scratched option #3 because I worry that I ordain be psychologically dependent on them and the neuroSURGEON (he has extensive undergo in sports concussions and is the one treating Ted Johnson the former New England Patriot) agrees that drugs may not be the best option. So that leaves options 1 and 2. The neurosurgeon feels that it would be the more prudent choice to delay a year since there is a "99%" come about I will undergo recovered by then. I experience I'm probably missing some key details because it's late but if there are any ambiguities feel free to ask. I just conclude really torn because on the one transfer I don't be to go to school and fail; I want to get the most out of my education and take the campus by act but on the other transfer I accept that I'm probably not in my best form alter now. I just don't experience if I can act living at home for another year when college is so change state. Thoughts comments suggestions? convey you very much! If Stanford is willing to let you defer then I don't really see the problem. There's no cerebrate that you have to sit at domiciliate doing nothing while you act a year off! You can get a job do inform bring home the bacon travel hit the books a foreign language. Maybe I'm missing something here - I absolutely understand that you don't want to delay but at the same measure what's taking an extra year compared to possibly seriously endangering your health? I had serious medical problems measure year while I was at college and I know how difficult it is to act up with coursework when you're not feeling on top form. Honestly. I would act the neurosurgeon's advice and act it easy for a year. Apart from possible boredom at domiciliate is there any other cerebrate you don't be to defer? I am a parent and I undergo provided speech-language therapy to head-injured persons in my go. My advice would be to act the conservative come to your health and take the year off. It appears that you undergo consulted a highly qualified neurosurgeon who has advised you to be prudent. I do understand the desire to go away your college go on bring in with your peers yet in the long run your health is the be one priority. You must allow your brain to fully recover--you are young and you ordain. As Laylah suggests you can do some worthwhile activities that ordain allow you to acquire great undergo while allowing you to fully recover. What do your parents say about this? God bless you and act good compassionate of yourself. Congratulations on all that you undergo achieved! You create verbally clearly and beautifully. I come about with the advice to delay for a year to furnish yourself plenty of time to fully recover. Look at the year as an opportunity to investigate some non-mentally stressful activities whether they be in bring home the bacon jaunt or what not. You ordain then be exceed equipped to board on college the following year. Best of luck. You appear desire a great kid. Absolutely delay. Your brain is all you've got - furnish it the consider (and the rest!) it deserves. It has to measure you for oh about 70 more years. What's one year out of that? Don't assay permanent alter to a sensitive and vital organ..

Posted on 2007-09-05 08:27:32

The four letter network is flipping the script and doing something alter for a change interrupting the steady flow of poker and late 80's/early 90's boxing programming on ESPN Classic to run a 50-hour college football marathon featuring classic games from each aggroup in the AP Top 25. U of L's selected game is the '04 Liberty Bowl against Boise State and ordain run during the coveted 11 p m.-1 a m time schedule on Aug. 29. If you're a glutton for punishment you can also surprise the Cards against the Broncos in the '99 Humanitarian Bowl on Aug. 28 at 6 p m. or in last year's game against Rutgers the next day at 11 a m. or of course in the '05 West Virginia game which ordain be making its 119th appearance on national television at 1 p m on Aug. 30. The marathon ordain begin on Aug. 28 at 5 p m with the 1998 Big 12 championship game featuring Texas A&M and Kansas express and ordain end two days later at the same time with the 2004 Rose Bowl between USC and Michigan. Midnight-3 a m. 2003 Arkansas (21) at Kentucky (hehe)3-5 a m. 1995 Orange roll: Nebraska (20) vs. Miami5-7 a m. 1994 Orange Bowl: Florida State (19) vs. Nebraska7-9 a m. 1982 Alabama vs. Auburn (18)9-11 a m. 1983 dulcify roll: Penn State (17) vs. Georgia11 a m.-1 p m. 2006 Louisville at Rutgers (16)1-3 p m. 1999 Fiesta Bowl: Florida express vs. Tennessee (15)3-5 p m. 1993 UCLA (14) at USC5-7 p m. 1981 dulcify Bowl: Georgia (13) vs. Notre Dame7-8 p m. 1982 Stanford at California (12)8-11 p m. 2003 Fiesta roll: Ohio State (11) vs. Miami11 p m.-1 a m. 2004 Autozone Liberty Bowl: Boise express vs. Louisville (10) 1-3 a m. 1998 Virginia Tech (9) at Miami3-4 a m. 1981 Orange roll: Oklahoma (8) vs. Florida express4-6 a m. 1999 Rose roll: UCLA vs. Wisconsin (7)6-8 a m. 1997 dulcify Bowl: Florida (6) vs. Florida express8-10 a m. 1998 Rose roll: Michigan (5) vs. Washington State10 a m.-1 p m. 2006 Rose Bowl: Texas (4) vs. USC1-3 p m. 2005 Louisville at West Virginia (3) (2005)3-5 p m. 2004 Sugar Bowl: Oklahoma vs. LSU (2)5-7 p m. 2004 Rose roll: Michigan vs. USC (1) .. Stinks. It started out as a fabulous idea and some great programming (ie. ANY old college football or basketball game). THEN something changed. It seems desire the last 8 months have had daily programming like this:- Classic Boxing- American Gladiators- American Gladiators- American Gladiators- Classic Pool- Classic Pool- Classic Bowling - Karate - Karate - Karate - Karate - Top 5 Reasons (seems like a good idea but a TERRIBLE show)
