Louisville Cardinal Fans – still the same dumb fanbase

Even after a basketball National Championship, Louisville Cardinals fans are a disgrace to real sports fans. The comments I see from them always makes me chuckle. Recently some loser posting as “Alrighty Whitey”, Travis Druden has been spamming my website with ignorant (typical Louisville fans) comments. His debates are weak, like always from Louisville fans. I will touch base on a few of these.

Louisville is ahead of Kentucky in all sports –

Kentucky leads Louisville in money made from sports. That is the end of that debate. (BTW, the Yum! Center is losing money as we speak, LOL)

Coach Cal Cheats –

Maybe, but who doesn’t? To say Louisville runs a clean program is hilarious.

Player Abuse at Louisville

Players at Louisville among the nation’s dumbest – nothing was done!

Bribes, payoffs and sex cover-up. Arkansas fired their coach for lying. Louisville gave theirs a raise.

Football staff is full of cheaters.

Louisville basketball players are criminals (nothing new).

Football team has criminals on roster.

Louisville has better fans –

After back to back Final Fours (and a National Title), Louisville couldn’t even average a sellout crowd per game. UK who lost 1st round in the NIT, once again, led the nation.

Even Charlie Strong mocks Louisville fans. Read here. (he claims UK fans are better, lol)

This is the fanbase of a team ranked in the top 10 and undefeated –

 Ranked in the top 10…. Yet no fans. Yes sir, Louisville sports! Getting drunk and arrested before the game means more than watching it! You compare this to elite programs?

I could go on and on. Debating Louisville fans is a complete waste of time.  They are the world’s most ignorant fanbase. They make Matt Jones seem like the world’s smartest man.

Kentucky Wildcats – still suck in football

As a UK fan I was hoping for improvement.  I saw none. Looks like another long year.

Irish History #10

Full story here

Gaelic Football is a field game which has developed as a distinct game similar to the progression of Australian Rules. Gaelic Football is played on a pitch up to 145m long and 90m wide. The goalposts are the same shape as on a rugby pitch, with the crossbar lower than a rugby one and slightly higher than a soccer one.

The ball used in Gaelic Football is round, slightly smaller than a soccer ball. It can be carried in the hand for a distance of four steps and can be kicked or “hand-passed”, a striking motion with the hand or fist. After every four steps the ball must be either bounced or “solo-ed”, an action of dropping the ball onto the foot and kicking it back into the hand. You may not bounce the ball twice in a row. To score, you put the ball over the crossbar by foot or hand / fist for one point or under the crossbar and into the net by foot or the hand / fist in certain circumstances for a goal, the latter being the equivalent of three points. Each team consists of 15 players, lining out as per the diagram.

Officials for a game comprise of a referee, two linesmen (to indicate when the ball leaves the field of play at the side and to mark ’45’ free kicks and four umpires (to signal scores, assist the referee in controlling the games, and to assist linesmen in positioning ’45’ frees).

A goal is signalled by raising a green flag, placed to the left of the goal. A point is signalled by raising a white flag, placed to the right of goal. A ’45’ is signalled by the umpire raising his/her outside arm. A ‘square ball’, when a player scores having arrived in the ‘square’ prior to receiving the ball, is signalled by pointing at the small parallelogram.

Ravens win Super Bowl XLVII

Full story

NEW ORLEANS — A power outage at the Super Bowl put the nation’s biggest sporting event on hold for more than a half-hour Sunday, interrupting an otherwise electric, back-and-forth game that ended with Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens as NFL champions thanks to a 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

 

Flacco threw three first-half touchdown passes to cap an 11-TD, zero-interception postseason. Jacoby Jones returned the second-half kickoff 108 yards, a Super Bowl record, to give Baltimore a 22-point lead.

 

Moments later, lights lining the indoor arena faded, making it difficult to see. When action resumed, the 49ers scored 17 consecutive points, getting as close as 31-29.

 

But Baltimore stopped San Francisco on fourth-and-goal from the 5 with under 2 minutes left.
