Perception

Louisville has taken incredible strides in that last couple of years, jumping into the Big East Conference and now vying for a spot in the BCS National Championship game. Nationally, the college football pundits (here forward referred to as the `good ole boys') seem to think we are nothing more than a mid-major team from a mid-major conference. That wasn't exactly their opinion last fall when they pronounce that upon entering the Big East Louisville should dominate the beleaguered BCS league. Why? If we were nothing but a mid-major team from a mid-major conference, stepping into one of the vaunted BCS conferences should have been a daunting task. Louisville fell short of winning the Big East Championship, but they fared pretty well, playing in the Gator Bowl in their inaugural season. Now, the Cardinal team is poised to challenge for the National Championship game and suddenly the `good ole boys' revert to their perception of us as mid-major again. Why, because we have demonstrated to the world that the so-called mid-majors can compete with anyone. We have exposed their precious club for what it is, and the `good ole boys' are afraid if we actually play in the NC game other mid-majors will want their chance too. Suddenly there will be an out cry by the majority for a playoff system, and the `good ole boys' will lose their stranglehold on the rest of college football. It is fear that is driving their perception. And it is time that we exposed the `good ole boys' as the greedy, money grubbing elitists that they are.

GO CARDS!
