DON'T MAKE FUN OF LOUISVILLE FOR BEING BRAVE

After a 20-17 loss to Clemson football,  Louisville football is now 0-3 for the 2015 season, and good for them for it. Louisville, unlike your team, most likely, scheduled actual football teams to start their season, accepted challenges from Auburn, an improving Houston team, and Clemson. With a young-ish team and new starters all over the place they lost all three games, sure, but that can happen when you decide to try and provide actual value for your football viewing dollar.*

So if you're a Kentucky fan, no one on earth can stop you from making fun of Louisville for losing to three real teams. If Bobby Petrino deserted your team, or if Bobby Petrino just seems generally loathsome to your general sensibility, well, no one's uncle and seven hell-trained mules can pull you away from that mockery.  If you loathe Louisville because one of their largest donors is John Schnatter, a rubberfaced demon slinging hot diabetes frisbees from a lard-cave in Kentucky, well, we can't dissuade you there, either.

Everyone else, though, can back off because Louisville did the bold thing, and we like it when programs do the bold thing even though they might have to start a freshman at tackle, figure out which one of three possible quarterbacks might start under live fire, and do it all against real competition. Stop making fun of them for that and their slightly misleading 0-3 record. (All losses came by a single score, and two were decided by a field goal's margin.)

Praise their courageous scheduling, and instead make fun of their busted-ass Affliction-reject uniforms.
