Nomally playing Army would be a cake walk....playing @ West Point on 9/11 with Bobby Ross the new head man at Army...I think I would be a little nervous about this one....how do y'all see it playing out???

Its going to be different, for one they have a new coach and new system. And two their having a half time show in honor of the 9/11
victims. But I think we'll be to much for them I hope!

Much respect to Army and all but come on. We play them nearly every season and they are an anual pushover. The only time they were challenging was when they ran the option offense simply because they were difficult to prepare for defensively. Watch for the score on Saturday, if we open up the offense a tad it will be far worse thsn UK's beating.

Even though this game will be emotional for Army, I think the Cards will come out on top and win by aleast 21pts Army will be crummy again like last year but not as bad as the 0-13 team from last year

Bobby Ross is a very good coach and it will be an emotional game for Army...but until they prove otherwise, they're still Army. I don't think this one will be close.

from a sheer talent standpoint, UL should basically just be able to show up and win. But Army will improve under Bobby Ross.

Army has a new, better coach, and it will be an emotionally charged game. But Louisville's going to run them out of the building. As bad as ECU was being 1-11, Army was worse, 0-12 and getting routed by East Carolina last year in ECU's only win.

Speed kills and Louisville is bigger, faster and deeper than Army!

True very true, I would be shocked if we didn't win by at least 4 touchdowns. Yes Bobby Ross is proven as a coach but you have to have the horses to compete. I believe one of there players in USA today was quoted saying "We're going to kill Louisville", that right there is bulletin board material. I can't see anyone turning that program around in just one year and beating a team with superior talent on both sides of the ball. Plus this is their first game and Louisville has had there first game out of there system and I know petrino will open up the offense against army.

I totally agree.

Are any of you guys making the trip up to west point??....I hear the atmosphere is great for college football up there

Sure I’m nervous about the Army game. But I’m nervous before every game. When I was playing if I didn’t throw up before the game, the rest of the team was worried.
As for beating Army, I have a difficult time taking much joy from it. Like I tell my son. It’s hard not to root for Army, their OUR team too. To each of our schools in the Big East, football is life and death. To those guys that play at Army, their job is life and death. Will I enjoy the game tomorrow, of course, however, I can’t help but think that many of the young men that will be playing for the Black Knights will soon be serving our country in Iraq or Afghanistan. To me that puts things into proper perspective.
