The House of Blue

If UK doesn't put the money behind this program ASAP then..............

UL has recruited FL hard and I has hoping that they would end up in big 12 so as to loose the strong Florida connection.

Now we need to hope the super conferences happen, because I think the ACC will get picked apart in that process, probably leaving UL behind again.

This happened for one reason, and one reason only: Tom Jurich's ability to raise money like no other and completley rebuild and reinvest into the athletics facilities of every sport on campus, but most notably football.

It will be interesting to see UL play a few more non-cupcake games.

Except when FSU leaves with Miami for the Big XII, UNC and UVA leave for the Big 10 and NC State and Va tech leave for the SEC.

The tv deal in the acc is terrible. Look at the attendance for their title game saturday night too.

The ACC by all accounts is about to become the old big east...

Sorry ACC, it seems conference destruction follows them!!

UL has built their success in all sports by winning games in inferior conferences. They are basicly a paper tiger. I'm actually excited to see them play on a somewhat level playing field to UK's. The results will be interesting, certainly more L's are on the way. Wonder what the fans support will be when they struggle to win 7-8 games a year against stiffer FB competition?

It's a sinking ship. Jurich is leading his troops up the Titanic's gangplank.

Before this decade is over, there will be four relevant football conferences and as it's shaping up, the ACC will not be one. Everybody else might as well be (and may end up being) Division II.

SEC is still 10X better than the ACC. Shut up.

Where in my post did I say that Texas and OU would be leaving the big XII. I am calling the big XII the big XVI because they're going to add more members.

DURDEEDURDUR...

The great thing is this. With our upgrades we will actually pass UofL pretty quickly.

UofL had a shot to go to the bcs with last weeks game at PJCS. They had 10,000 empty seats in a 50,000 seat stadium. NOw it isn't for me to talk about low attendance except i can promise, if UK is EVER playing for the shot to go the bcs then we will be PACKED.

If UofL struggles against acc competition as I think they might then they could have a TON of empty seats. If you can't pack your stadium when you're playing for a shot at the orange bowl then when can you?

UofL has also proven that it's as much or MORE about the coach than the facilities. Facilities do make a huge differenc though.

If we spend the 100-150 million as folks are saying, we'll be in line or better than uofL. With the sec, the big time coach etc... we'll blow past them. UofL isn't out of the woods, especially if the acc falls apart with FSU, Miami, UNC, NC State, UVA and VA Tech leaving.

I'm glad you can see the future. Truly amazing.

Both teams seem to have had some positive moves in the last 48 hrs, time will tell what the outcome will be, but as for now both universities and fans should be excited at the possibilities.
