i think that sentiment is mostly coming from state fans trained to be perpetually pessimistic. lamar jackson, obviously, is a golden god. the rest of their team is meh. we may very well get smoked. but i don't think it's outlandish to think this should be a fairly close game (in either direction). hell...we're ranked #24, they're ranked #17. and it's a home game for us, under the lights. just a brief glance at schedules...UL won by one possession vs Purdue. struggled with a bad UNC team till they pulled away in the 4th Q. got dominated by Clemson and blew out two scrub teams. i know we struggled with Marshall for 2 quarters and lost to a not particularly good SCar team. but their resume isn't waayyy more impressive than ours.

statistically, our offense has been pretty efficient and hasn't turned the ball over. UL's defense has been mostly unimpressive. their DL and run D especially have not been impressive. i can totally see where somebody would see some of these factors (and considering that our DL is very impressive, perhaps we can limit Jackson's explosiveness) and think we have a real shot at winning. this louisville team is good. last year's louisville team was much better.

this is a tough game...but a winnable game for sure.

It's ok to say it. Sakerlina is a bad football team. There is nothing good about them.

TBH football is a team sport and that team is bad even with deebo. Not to mention they have the biggest joke of a head coach in major college football.

Doeren's record says we lose this one, but State's record says we win this one and shit ourselves at Pitt.

^^^^^^^^^ These black uniforms look very sharp, but gray and black alternates in the same season? Come on, man! Our colors are red and white. Use red, white, combinations of red and white, and one crazy alternate.

Love the uniforms, apparently Doeren said it's been a big hit with the recruits, so whatever works.

Think we should have some solid recruits at the game Thursday night(at least 1 5* in '19 class, but I imagine we'll have McNeil and maybe Gwyn there), so a win could be huge in recruiting.

Plus a Red or White out would be kind of weird since we're playing a team who wears...Red and White.

Though to be fair they also did a "Black Out" for their Saturday night game with Clemson...and that didn't go very well for them.

We are basically the same team in adidas' eyes (but hopefully not in the accounting)

^I acknowledged they also held a "Black Out" on their night game against Clemson. Also pointed out it didn't work out for them.

But yeah, we both rock red/white/black and have the same company creating our uniforms, that being said I think our black uniforms look better.

I think it makes them look a little stumpy. It looks like they made the pointed tips by taking away from the numbers, they should have extended them down farther.

Re: blackout, pack pride said school isn't promoting a black out. Then somebody showed ads for black State apparel, they said vendors are supporting blackout but not school. Then Nard dog said wear black, so that settles that.

Update: DD rt'ed something saying wear black

fanged numbers would be a good gimmick for recruits

agree they could be perfected some. hard to tell how that will look until we see them in game. we've had a few bball jerseys over the years with tiny numbers that have looked bad

No way our fans get a black out right.

We could pass out free black t-shirts to everyone and you'd still have assholes who refused.

^^^^ we'll fuck it up even worse when it's horribly communicated. So far it's been on packpride, tww...anywhere else? The jersey announcement was on twitter/Facebook. Nothing directly saying FANS WEAR BLACK which is what it takes to communicate with 55,000 people. Not "black howl" uniform tweets and word of mouth. How are the olds, who make up a good number of our donors and LTR holders, going to find out if it isn't in the paper?

False. They're pushing for a black out, but I feel like they've dropped the ball and are just trying to encourage late. I saw some athletes saying to wear black and Doeren re-tweeting it.

If you're going to the game, definitely wear black.

Problem is we'll have like 35-40% of fans wearing black and then over half the stadium will be wearing red and white and it'll look like Louisville fans bought up our tickets.

apparently the last time we played a ranked opponent while being ranked ourselves at carter finley was in 2000.

last time we won one of those was 1992. Louisville hasn't beaten a ranked team on the road in that time, so there's that.

i feel like we will play well and our secondary will play well but come up short because lamar will get away too often for us to get key stops.
