Things to Change this Football Season at UofL

As a dedicated UofL football fan for most of my life, there are some issues that need to be addressed.  Here are my suggestions for the upcoming season:

1. Change of Music.  The entrance video I like, and “O Fortuna” is some awesome stuff. However, I am a little tired of “Enter Sandman” by Metallica. That music was fine when we were dominating our opponents by 5 touchdowns back in the day.  However, if it’s a struggle to beat Arkansas State and Indiana State, you lose your right to run out to that.  Until we put the fear back into our opponents, there will be no more Metallica or ACDC before games. Running out to Back in Black should be considered a privilege. I suggest for the opener against UK, the team should run out to “We built this City” by Starship.  Strike that, you are not worthy of that yet.  The Cards are stuck with “mmbop” by Hanson.  If you don’t want to run out to that, then there is only one thing to do, WIN! 

2. Get rid of “the ville” jerseys.  We are the University of Louisville, not the University of the ville. We should only wear one jersey during the year, changing it for a few games is stupid to me. The front of our jersey should always read Louisville and nothing else.

3. Black Outs, Red Outs, Green Outs, Brown Outs. It seems like every home game, it’s either a black out or red out. Sorry, you have overstayed your welcome. Yes, the Black Out against West Virginia in 2006 was the best idea ever for the Louisville Football program, but since that game it has been used about every other home game.  Can we please stick to wearing one color at home this year?

4. No More Tool Cheerleader before the Game. We don’t need to be pumped up before a game by you, We are already jacked up because we love football.  All you do is postpone the start of the game.  I am glad that you can spell out Cards, but I am not paying to see you.  Just get off the field and let the real men play their game.  Ladybirds you are fine on the field, just watch out for errant passes.

5. Timeout Promotions.  Putting a person in a hamster ball to roll around the field so he can win a phone cover and 200 free minutes does not belong at a football game.  Do this crap before the game or not at all.  Instead, show highlights of Jeff Brohm.

6. Halftime Entertainment. I know it is a tradition to have the marching band perform at halftime, but when they play the same music every game, it gets a little old. No longer getting 12 minutes, you now get 4 minutes and that includes set-up time.  Feel free to play some Journey if you like.
