In three days, a multi-loss Louisville football team will travel to Tallahassee to face an undefeated Florida State team in a nationally televised early afternoon showdown. It's all exactly the same as the last time the Seminoles hosted the Cards, except that everything is different.
My memories of that game from Sept. 23, 2000 are sketchy at best. I was a high school sophomore who watched the game with above average interest from my living room couch. The Cards appeared as vastly overmatched as everyone expected heading into the game, and fell 31-0. It was about what I had expected all week, and so my Saturday went on as planned after the final whistle blew.
