After a one-week hiatus/postponement, Louisville’s football team (currently) plans to travel down to Charlottesville for the fourth time since joining the ACC. Normally, against any middle-of-the-road ACC opponent Cardinal fans wouldn’t have such feelings of annoyance and angst. But when fans see a trip to the University of Virginia on their calendars, they collectively groan and plan which items in their homes should be broken next.
Perhaps much of this is due to the dumb and lopsided basketball rivalry where Virginia’s dominance and awful style of play haunts Louisville fans annually. Or perhaps it’s something else. Perhaps it’s what fans are beginning to refer to as the “Bermuda Triangle of Louisville Football.
