Hot off the Photoshop presses. I call this latest creation, “Bruised, but not Beaten.” The Horns took some blows, but Jerritt gets to wear the hat in the end.  I wanna be a cowboy, Barbara. |

Dani has a lot of magic, but Louisville doesn't have someone as terminal as Ruddins or a passer/defender like Fleck. Louisville is still a couple players away in their development to seriously challenge a team like Texas. |

Just based on the eyeball test, I would say UCSB is as talented, or maybe more talented, than Rice and Texas A&M when we played those two teams the last week of OOC play. The reports were that they were implementing the fast offense just this year, so likely they were steadily improving throughout the year as they got more comfortable with it.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Louisville will bring to the table on Friday. On paper Texas has the advantage but you could say that with a majority of the teams in the country against us. However I think the UCSB match woke the team up and I expect them to start stronger this time around.

I have not watched Louisville play this season.
I recall some posters on the Louisville @ Pittsburgh match thread a couple of weeks ago stating that Louisville as blocking well despite getting swept.
And, they seemed to put some big blocking stats against Western Kentucky on Saturday.
