I think Louisville is a good football team. The other night vs. Ole Miss started off slow, but it ended up being a great game. It was a close one, but you still lost, which should give you a taste of how we feel. What do you mean by "schedule smack"? I don't understand what that means. All I meant was that we're part of the same state, but we're in different regional (or at least they used to be) conferences, and the SEC is objectively much stronger than the ACC and always has been. You all were in CUSA and The Big East before the ACC on top of that. I feel like we've had good teams in the past that we didn't get any credit for because we had to face top 10 teams practically every game.... So, it's an interesting hypothetical to consider. Although, obviously, we are the state school, so the onus is on us at the end of the day. I just feel no affinity towards the SEC whatsoever and never understood Kentucky fans who worship it like some monolith. My post wasn't meant to discredit Louisville. It would obviously be hypocritical to imply Louisville isn't good just because they don't have to play LSU, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas A&M, every week.
People harp on the modern NIL era, but in retrospect, it's kind of silly how imbalanced football used to be. In any other sport or competition it would have been seen as a negative, unfair "meta," I think....
