They were so dominant against FSU and WVU that year and so weak against Rutgers, Pitt, and Miami. Looked like two completely different teams.

Leavitt had WVU's number and BJ played the game of his life in front of his hometown.

Today is 10 years ago Louisville beat FSU. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now,

would we spend tomorrow's yesterdays and make it last somehow?

Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to play?

what was his Big East record, I believe it was under .500

25-26 with Conference USA talent.

Anyone who thinks you can go from zero and nothing in a few short years then suddenly dominate a Div. 1 conference is simply delusional.

tell that to cincy and louisville

Cincy started playing football in 1885. Played in major bowls as far back as the 40's.

Louisville started playing football in 1912, Played in major bowls as far back as the 50's and were on a 7 year bowl run and had a 20-5 record the previous 2 years before joining the Big East.

I hardly call that even remotely an apple to apples comparison.

I'm so over the anti Skip ******** on here. Yes he's doing horribly, he sucks, it sucks, but for fucks sake lets not act like we were gee dee world beaters before he came in here.

Joe, you've been around long enough to know that we've got fans on here that seem to live for times like this. They embrace, even relish, being able to ***** and act like dickheads ... and add to that these camps:

- Those pissed because of what happened to CJL and know things would be different if he was here.

- Those pissed because they thought CJL was the only problem and it looks like maybe they were wrong ... People hate being wrong.

- The Green and Gold Goggle Gang who thinks we're an elite football program and are losing their minds because of a bad 12 game stretch, including a loss to NAIA Ball State.

In reality, I don't have too much of a problem about the gripes about the technical part of the coaching but the calling for Skip's head NOW, saying he was a bad hire is a ******* joke. Am I happy about recent results? Of course not, but bottom line is we've got 8 more games to play this season and if this year is similar to last year, I wouldn't have a whole lot to say about the whining to get rid of him ... still don't know if I'd agree or not, though.

Yeah, but it is so much fun watching their heads spin like tops.

cincy went 6-5 and 5-7 the two years before joining big east including a loss to USF.

not sure what 1885 has to do with a programs current success. thanks for the history lesson though.I suppose harvard would be considered one of the best programs today because they are also one of the oldest.

with that reasoning we will never compete because we will never be older than those other programs. failed logic.

Logic and reason are simply wasted on people with an agenda.

Honestly, I haven't been following this argument, but, Cincy's rise started with a pretty good coach, he flipped them around almost immediately. Won with multiple QB's, fired a defensive coordinator that was pretty good, just not good enough. Not sure if that point has any place here, I'm just sayin...
