Even though we lost…
This shows we are just as good as the top tier programs. We have just as good an offense and defense that held their own against a final four team last year. Cut out the self imposed hurt and we win this game and the rest of them. Lincoln seems to be the guy and a tough one at that. With so many question marks coming into the season this feels like they have all been answered well. Go Cards and we can win the rest of the season!!

I come in peace as an Ole Miss fan. Y’all have a really good football team. I and every Ole Miss fan I know all knew that the national sports media was underestimating the Cards. Go out and win the ACC (which certainly looked better in comparison this weekend versus certain other conferences that don’t make their replay process transparent). Let us know if you need help with the pitchforks and torches if the AP poll ranks you lower than Michigan.

The other reply from Joe doesn’t represent us. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement

Honestly love this group of guys. Offense and defense look pretty well rounded. IDK whats up with brohm but he needs to spend some of that budget and hire somebody whos sole focus is reducing penalties. Its been such an issue for every single team hes had and its almost always at the worst moment. Delay of game and false starts are unacceptable for great teams.

Brohm? Penalties? You don't say.

u/Apart_Ad_8842 Sep 07 '26
I cant remember a single loss besides SMU last year in which penalties havent been the deciding factor.

That Unsportsmanlike conduct absolutely killed us!! Stopped them only to give away a first down by penalty, stupid penalty!

That second half was so fucking hype. This team has a ton of potential. Ole Miss is a juggernaut and without a bad snap on a punt and a questionable roughing the kicker call we win this game.
The SMU game will make or break the season now. Lets get it done

Yea because there’s no way we beat Miami again the way we played last night.

u/CTM3399 Sep 07 '26
If we lose to SMU we likely don't get a chance to play Miami so yeah like I said the SMU game defines the season

Hey, met some Louisville fans, families last night. Really great people and wanted to wish you all a good season. Sloppy game for both of us, but I see no reason why the Cards can’t win the ACC. Great game.

As an Ole Miss guy, you were sweating just a little bit, right?

u/cnlogan Sep 07 '26
Definitely some moments where I’m thinking, sure. It never felt completely gone because I saw so many early season mistakes and know we have some leaders, but a very tough opener. I think both teams will benefit from the opponent quality in week 1, something most teams didn’t have.

Team has potential but it’s the same shit with Brohm man. Can’t get the plays in on time and lack of discipline. It’s easy to look at this performance and feel like we should win out but every game we always have some BS that costs us against a team we’re better than.

Exactly, we’ll trip over ourselves a few times just like we did in this one.

There aren't moral victories when you pay your HC more than Ole Miss HC who has a CFP win.

u/Particular-Resist337 Sep 07 '26
Let’s hope both Ole Miss and Louisville are good so this is remembered as a quality game.

u/No_Coffee_Break Sep 07 '26
Honestly, my take away from that game is if we didn't make such dumb mistakes, and 1 that caused a touchdown for Ole' Miss, we would have won the game. Losing only by 3 is a testament to how good this team truly is. They just need to clean up their "sloppiness" and if they do, there's no reason they can't win the ACC.

Even losing, this was the Most Exciting Cards game I’ve watched in a few yrs. And I will be in the stadium seats Friday!

This looked just like every other UofL Football team that can't win the close game. They get stupid penalties for doing childish things, unsportsmanlike conduct, roughing, etc.. No team that is fighting for any championship plays that way. Until we can stop the self imposed stupidity, we will not win any games that count. We can play dumb Football and beat weaker teams, but we will never beat anyone playing the way we did.

Unless they move Florida in we probably stay in the top 25 lol

Michigan should not be in at all.

I don't really care if we are ranked, but any voter who has Michigan above us is not a ball knower

UofL absolutely belonged on the field with a Top 10 opponent. Great response from the guys when it looked dicey a few times.
