Inside the Huddle with Carolyn Floyd on the UofL Football Program and Fan Support

FR CB Terell Floyd

Editorial by Carolyn Floyd, Louisville FR CB Terell Floyd's Mother

All right you Cardinal fans, stay focused and think positive when it comes to our young team. It seems as every thing is falling apart now with this team on offense, but look at the bright side, we're making steps and things will get better. You can see the team is young because of their second half play. Shooting our self in the foot with four back to back flag calls on the offense line. When they grow, that will get better also. I believe in this team. If not, I wouldn't have sent my child all the way to Kentucky from the Sunshine State, when he had 15 other schools to choose from. I am not content where we are at right now, but it not over until the fat lady sings. And for me, I don't hear no body singing. Fans, support these kids who are doing the best they can. You save more energy by not complaining, so be supportive of our young Louisville Cardinals.

Comment by Lakinit on October 16, 2011 at 12:21pm: You are right. You can see the improvements. Yesterday, in the first half, there was only 1 penalty. Our DB's covered better than they had all year --- against a good QB who ate us alive last year with 5 TD throws. Our O line had some issues but I prefer to think about their ranking and the Cincinnati's D rankings. They are coming around and Coach Watson talked quite a bit about how hard they were working and how hard he knew that they would continue to work.

Comment by Terry Jackson on October 16, 2011 at 12:28pm: Exactly Carolyn! I'll be here all season watching, rooting and hoping! I'll be here thru the off season keeping up with recruiting and watching for improvements. And I'll be here next Sept. when this thing starts to come together for a much improved and more rewarding season. GO CARDS!!

Comment by dimori on October 16, 2011 at 12:44pm: D is not the problem,Once the OL starts controlling the trenches a bit You will see this team start wining with consistency..The Players are sticking together and fighting till the end of the game that's something that I always look at when the game has been decided. " Do They Quit and Throw In The Towel "...This Team Is Not Doing That

Comment by P Streble Sr. on October 16, 2011 at 3:25pm: UL football has much to look forward to in the future. The talent level is good but young. Look at Cincy, they had a losing season last year and now are undefeated and our guys played head to head with them. Even NC has had some great recruiting classes recently and our guys held their own with the Tar Heels. With the 4 losses the Cards are averaging less than 20 points a game and with some experience and added classes the struggling offense will soon get that average up and score enough to turn these tight losses into victories. The D looks very solid. Time to get that O-line up to par. Go Cards!!

Comment by Dustin on October 16, 2011 at 8:37pm: Every intelligent football fan knows this team is on the rise whether or not this seasons record shows that right now. Ill be in my seats come rutgers eager for another UL football game!

Comment by 502ThrillVille on October 17, 2011 at 6:31am: Yea we are going to be really good in the future. Just right now the coaches that picked us last in the BE dont look so crazy anymore. I will def be in my seats before kickoff on friday! GO CARDS!!!!!

Comment by David L Horlander on October 17, 2011 at 1:06pm: Great editorial Carolyn. Nice going. My hat is off to you. Yes, I will be in the stands for the remaining home games and hope the worm will turn for the Cards. Good luck Cards.

Comment by Jim Wetherton on October 17, 2011 at 1:53pm: Great comment Carolyn! We are with you and all the kids. I drive 400 miles one way to see these young men and I will only miss one game this year. Card fan motto has to be "SHOW UP!"

Comment by David L Horlander on October 17, 2011 at 2:38pm: Great motto Jim.

Comment by Anthony robert milburn on October 17, 2011 at 7:17pm: There's only a snowball's chance in hades I will not be there Friday night. These Cards may be

young but come hail or high water they ARE MY TEAM and I'm proud to say so. UL couldn't

possibly have a better REP of a classy young man than what I've heard or seen from Terrell!

Congrats on raising a fine young man, we sometimes forget how important parenting is in their

lives...of course I'm a biased Grandfather myself. The fans who have given up are...well...

quitters!
