Beezner’s Ode to Louisville

The CardsThere are few things I hate more than over-hyped, flash in the pan programs masquerading as serious threats to legitimate football programs and nothing has embodied that sheep in a lion suit more over the past few years than the Louisville football team. Over the past six months, this joke of an athletics program has watched its favorite coach leave, it’s big-time recruit shipped off to jail and endured the biggest spiral down the sports toilet that I can remember. And, just when the bandwagon seemed to be getting so full…

So, in honor of the number of wins the Filthy Cards will fail to reach in order to be bowl eligible, here are the top six reasons why I could never be a Louisville fan:

  1. It gets way too cold to wear a mesh tank top year round
  2. I couldn’t root for a school whose most notable contribution to society is a closeted homosexual photographer (Larry Birkhead).
  3. Although I’ve seen 8 Mile and happen to enjoy it, I don’t find it necessary to make it a way of life.
  4. I love to cheer for my team, but mimicking an “L” with your fingers is just a little too gay for me. Had someone already claimed the spirit fingers?
  5. It’s just too hard to root for a team that falls disappointingly short of expectations every year in basketball and football.
  6. I prefer to talk sports with my head outside of my ass.

But, in Louisville’s defense, their cheerleader’s hoo-hah sure did look nice in those pictures her ex-boyfriend posted all over the internet. Trust me, you should Google it.
