Go Tigers!

Let's see how everyone handles some pressure. Go Tigers.

This season could be a REALLY fun one.

If the offensive line improves, we will have a very potent offense - perhaps a school best.

I believe everyone agrees that Offensively we will be very good. The BIG question is how will the Defense play (especially in the secondary) and respond when we're playing quality teams such as UCF, UCLA, SF and Houston.

Until we stop Navy, we will never be the favorites

I'm afraid that means until Navy's offense falters.

Our safeties and linebackers are being schooled on how to provide better run support against the triple option. Kinda hard when they only see it once a year vs. seeing a Veer or Wishbone offense every week. Old school.

Nah, we play Tulane every season too.

We should spend at least part of every week practicing against it...no matter who the opponent is that week.

Couldn't hurt.

To borrow a lyric from Bruno Mars....

That's What I Like

Always a great sign to be picked Number 1. Gives you the best chance to be Number 1.

Players love this stuff and it breeds confidence.

I don't think Coach Norvell will allow them to be over confident. He's the type to keep the team grounded

Every year Coach Cal's teams were picked Number 1 in our conference we ended up Number 1

It's an AMAZING accomplishment for the Tiger Football program and all the long suffering fans who supported all these years.

I still remember being in the stands at the old Louisville baseball/football stadium in '92 seeing us get cheated out of that game. Led to a team boycott which was the most embarrassing moment in program history

I like our chances against Navy this year. We play them at home and this will be the first time EVER that we will have a coaching staff that played against them previously.

This is our year.

Yes, it was a dump. You should have seen the Visitors dressing rooms. Big Jack, James Earl and the assistants who had to work in the booth hated the rickety catwalk they had to use to get up there.
