wow.

louisville is well coached and really defends, at least, as always. newcomers might not get as much time today.

Top 25 rankings would be much more accurate this time of year of they gave the job to Vegas rather than the AP.

No kidding. Loved how the announcers said this is a Top-15 team regarding our Shocks yesterday. Culture AP Voters. Culture.

Question: if we blow them out like every other team we've faced this entire month (ahem* D1 teams only, in respect to Augusta who would apparently be D1 national champs), am I allowed to go "full homer, rose glasses and hyperbole" for the rest of the year. Or do I have to keep trying to be objective with each game?

You mean THEIR newcomers, right? Pretty much our whole team is newcomers. :)

But I'm with you. This may be the game that we learn who coach relies on when things get tight. We don't know who our starters even are yet.

Exactly. If things today and in the championship, they'll be forced to acknowledge it then though fortunately.

This has been classic Louisville for years now. In the ooc particularly they have these crazy swings between looking completely dominant to completely inept.

Mad, you really pegged this. 49 points in 40 minutes and 19 in 5-minute overtime.

I know that we will play hard. I hope we shoot the ball well, and handle our first close game with the poise we have inside us (I think that we will win a close game). Louisville is too talented and Petino too good of a coach, to not be ready to play us.

If we pound UL today AND pound whoever we play tomorrow go for it. I'll be right there with you.

Sorry trying to do this from my phone but you get the gist

[DUShock]

It is the Shocks to lose.

It is bound to be close, ugly at times, but winnable. Louisville barely dodged the bullet yesterday. Today is a new day and a game we have been eager to watch. Opportunity is knocking and a win could be a long-term plus looking forward. GoShocks!!!!!!!

Yesterday I heard an announcer say he didn't think any team would go undefeated this Season. This stance is not kewl towards my predictions, always picking us to win and believing it deep down where it counts. Right now, I am scouting the Michigan St. vs Baylor game in hopes I get a jingle-jangle from the Bahama's by 3G in search of my strong opinions as to strategy. It is what it is baybay!!!!!!! Muhahahahha!!!!!!!
