You’ve probably heard the “Louisville football blackout, is me getting blacked out” joke by now, so I’ll save myself from making a rather corny joke.
While the joke is lame, there is truth behind it. After last weekend’s fourth quarter debacle that resulted in Louisville blowing a 21-7 lead to a really bad Florida State team, I don’t know how much more bad football Cardinal fans can take.
Tonight’s game against one of the weirdest teams in the country, Georgia Tech, means a lot for Louisville. As I pointed out yesterday, Louisville has two more really winnable games – Georgia Tech and Wake Forest.
