Louisville Football Prestiges Twice, Loses To Pitt
by Jason Kirk • Nov 14, 2011 1:07 PM EST

The Pittsburgh Panthers may know their way around the Papa John's Stadium map better than the Louisville Cardinals do, but the Cards would've dominated on Resistance.

@CardChronicle Charlie Strong says the release of the Call of Duty video game distracted the team from its Pitt preparation.   



Likewise, Chip Kelly stays up late playing shmups, Paul Johnson prefers the cathode ray tube amusement device, and Rick Neuheisel plays that DOS game where you could be a surgeon and cut people improperly but they wouldn't start screaming until you let go of the mouse.

And the rest of the Big East, as always, plays only Zombie Mode, no matter the game. Like how every cereal has to have an alternate chocolate version even if it's been fruit-themed for 50 years, every video game has to have a Zombie Mode. The Big East is always pretty good at those.

Charlie Strong should be fired immediately for blaming a video game for his team's lack of preparation.

Hey, we don't know when Charlie knew anything or even what exactly he knew.  Sure, the GA saw the players on their Xboxes, but he just told Charlie they were horsing around.  Charlie has earned too much respect to be treated in this way.  CEO's of fortune 500 companies blame video games for inter-company problems all the time.

I beg to differ.  There was that Atari Pong incident back in 83'.  Louisville was on notice from that point forward. Willful blindness in my book.
