I know this isn't the right forum, but thought I'd post for maximum viewing, at least at first:

A Football Team Loses Because of... Call of Duty?!

So says University of Louisville coach Charlie Strong.

The game of football requires an incredible amount of preparation, study and work. It's a thinking man's game chockfull of strategy. So when the University of Louisville Cardinals took to the field this past weekend against the University of Pittsburgh Panthers and lost, there must have been a reason, right? Perhaps the team didn't go over game film as intricately as usual. Maybe there were some key injuries.

Or maybe the University of Louisville Cardinals are just obsessed with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Louisville football coach Charlie Strong blames Call of Duty for his team's recent loss, according to Cardinal Sports. "Young people are dealing with so much," explained Strong. "I told [the team] Tuesday. I get them off the practice field and we weren't sharp, so you're thinking you come back on Wednesday and we weren't sharp then. There's a new video game that come out and those guys are so… I said, how can you allow a video game to take control of what you have in your hand and what's ahead of you."

Actually, no, no it's not. The humidity being a factor in weather, which actually does affect play. So, you FAIl.

Years ago, Bucs were playing Lions on a Sunday at 1. We were going to USF game that Saturday night and tailgated at Hooters on Hillsborough. Tons of the Lions players showed up (by tons, I am talking around 20ish). Looked like mostly OL and DL, big guys. Anyway, they were putting down pitchers of beer, wings, etc. Had a handful of limos and stretch limo vans and drivers, and were dressed and headed out for night.

Bucs beat them on Sunday by a couple TD's. Lions looked like crap.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
