  • Think Kentucky is doing just fine in basketball in the SEC. And as for football...congratulations ul went from the worst BCS conference to the second from the bottom.
    And if you want my opinion, the ACC will be adding UCONN, Cinci and probably USF real soon. They will have to as FSU, Clemson, Miami, and Va Tech bounce.

    I don't believe that. Card fans raved on and on about how the ACC was actually the bottom of the BCS conferences, even after WVU, Syracuse, and Pitt left the Big East.

    I guess that's all different now that the University of Louisville has graciously deigned to save the floundering ACC with their radiant presence. I wonder how many years of tearful begging from the ACC were required before UL would consider the offer? No doubt that being in a crumbling conference and being the 5th school chosen to leave for another was all a part of Tom Jurich's master plan.

    Congratulations UL. You are less valuable than WVU, 'Cuse, Pitt, and Rutgers. You were chosen to join the conference Maryland found inferior. But now that you have stabilized the entire conference, I'm confident that the SEC, B1G, and BXII will never look at any other school in that conference.

  • Since UofL pulled itself up by their bootstraps and has now saved college football along the eastern seaboard I guess they won't mind if we end the series in all sports?

    And where are FSU and Clemson bouncing to?

    Big XII. Rumor is that BIG XII wants clmeson, Miami and FSU.

    I don't see how or why this hurts UK? UofL to ACC is good for those two parties but I don't see it hurting UK. When it comes to football you think UofL will now have even more competition for recruits because of Miami, FSU, Florida, Georgia, and all other schools in the south. With the addition of Stoops and possibly Coley, UK would now be in the hunt for a few of these recruits. Probably not the 4-5 star recruits but a lot of the 3 star guys that are being picked over.

    Oh and btw, the ACC may lose some schools already. SEC is looking to contact UNC and Duke as possible additions per sportingnews.com. The likelihood of this is low but how funny would it be to see L'Ville to attempt to leave the ACC in 6 years or so? The revolving door continues to spin!

    The SEC has been after both Duke and UNC for 3 yrs now. And from what I am hearing down here in SC, they are ready to listen to the offer now.

    The money is in football and with the addition of both teams it will help in the basketball tv money as well.

    Both teams would also have more to offer to the highschool football players in NC.

    It would be a win win for them.

    Basketball tv money is a pittance. The money is tied up in the tourney and that is controlled by the NCAA and divied up fairly inequitably in my opinion. I believe the in the SEC/ESPN contract UK basketball receives something like 2 million last time I checked. They receive much more from the IMG deal which will be "altered" if the SEC Network happens.

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

    We'll see nothing is impossible but I STRONGly doubt it. Good luck with stoops though hope he does better than joker. Duke and UNC is very very unlikely that like lsu and Alabama leaving for the PAC 12. Think about it and put your uk attitude to the side.

  • Sad...no matter what you do you're still always going to come running and say "Look at me! Look at us! See, we can wear big boy pants too!!!"

    A glorified community college that can't even dominate its own campus has joined another dying conference.. I would almost pity you folks if you weren't all such idiots.

    Outside looking in you guy look mad, jelious and scared all in one. It's sad that a topic about UL is more discussed than the lose you just took to seton hall. How about worry about building up that dumpster football team you have in a football dominated conference and pray the success of these one and dones goes on forever because if not you guy are more irrelevant than any other team in the FOOTBALL dominated sec. Good luck this season and keep spend your life everyday on kats paws hoping the ACC falls apart just because UofL is there now. I never get mad at your success bit anytime louisville gets it you guy boil and I love it. Good luck not trying to suck this year little brother we have the money facilities and and a BETTER BALANCED conference. I could go on but I'm done, shot back on this post amongst yourselves I'm off this sorry @ss board.

  • It's funny how UL fans always come running begging us to acknowledge them. They are like the dimestore hooker who comes running up to your car at the stoplight begging you to make her feel special every night.

  • What a badge of honor it must be to complete a full season without facing a single Top 25 team. You guys must be proud. It's certainly entertainly to listen to the national media crucify the fact that the Big East has a bid to a game that in meaningles to everyone that lives outside of Jefferson County.

  • Kentucky has 2 wins on the season. One of those is still better than all of UofL's COMBINED!

    It's a good thing you left. You were going to get ridiculed mercilessly for your obscene spelling. Simply based on that, it looks like you are, in fact, the mad one. Are you unable to calm your little fingers before typing angrily? Or is it just simple mental deficiency that holds you back?

    Perhaps it is better if you do not come back. It would be extremely embarrassing for you.

  • Im a grad student/grad assistant at tech and there were some mild, tempered thoughts about tech going to the SEC, IF FSU and Clemson bolted to the big XII, which is not happening. FSU, Clemson, Tech and NC state were the biggest opponents to UCONN and the biggest supporters of Louisville. FSU is happy, they now have a division foe that's going to a BCS game, now that they are satisfied, there are no reports of anyone going anywhere. UNC and UVA both went out of there way to confirm their loyalty to the ACC. So yea, those thoughts died.

    Thank you, GoHorn. With your information, I now know that conference re-alignment as it relates to the ACC is over and there is no danger of any other ACC team pursuing a spot in, say, the B1G, SEC, or BIGXII.

    Mods, can we lock this thread? We now have a definitive answer from Mr. Horn on conference re-alignment, so I see no further need to discuss it as a possibility.

    Your head is in the sand if you don't think talks are going on with teams in the ACC about joining other conferences. Not just the SEC, but with the Big 10 and Big 12.

  • I forget where it was said but its true. Lville went from a dead conference to a dying conference. the ACC will be the new big least in a few yrs

    He admitted he was biased. It isn't about competition. It's about $$$ and the acc tv contract sucks. Just wait.... The big boys will get out in due time. The money is just too much to pass up.
