I loved (sarcasm) how the uconn player that returned that kick is now saying he never fair caught the ball.  He was "playing mind games".  What a F'n joke.  I think he is delusional if he really thinks he did not wave his hand.  

He acted like he was going to do it again on the next punt. The fact that he claims this was a premeditated decision is ludicrous. He waved for a fair catch, then decided he'd see if the refs would be dumb enough to not call him out if he ran.

Kingsley Zissou I think that sums up how I feel as well.  Last night I just went on with my life instead of getting mad.  I think its because I don't really expect us to have an automatic win anymore.  I have faith though, this season might not end to well but I think next year we will be fine (at least I keep telling myself that).

You throw a jump pass.

the fair catch call did not cost us the game in the end (inability to grind out important first down did), that was the worst call I have seen since Pervis was called for goaltending at the end of the UCLA game at Pauley Pavillion.

Go watch the following clip about ten times:

Then repeat "Baskteball season will wash my pain away. Basketball season will wash my pain away. Basketball season will wash my pain away."

On the other hand, you could just get a box of tissues, cry for a few hours, eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's, drink a fifth of Wild Turkey, pass out, and wake up tomorrow feeling so bloated and hung over that you just don't give a shit anymore.

During his in booth interview, Kragster is here to stay. How worried should we be?

Tom has not lead us wrong yet (even though some are in doubt right now).  Ill keep my faith in him to make the right call on the coaching situation.

bail... if we have a losing record, and he wants K to stay another yr... and if the fans grouse a lot and there is no progress toward stadium expansion.

I think he's tough enough --and committed enough -- to righting the FBall program that is the  "cash cow"  and which is his personal pride and joy.

I trust Jurich's instincts. No one is perfect. He is generally a great judge of talent.  He tried to buy, on the cheap again, a new unproven coach again -- but he made a mistake this time. BTW at the time virtually everyone in the national media thought it was a great hire. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.  I don't think K will never be an elite coach (top ten), and maybe not consistently top 20 which has been our standard for a decade.

But we now aspire to more -- so in retrospect we probably really needed a proven Rick Pitino -level FBall coach hire this time.  Pay the extra bucks. (Have  two of the hottest proven coaches in the country like we had in '86 with Denny and Schnell.) But maybe one was not available at the time--I forget now.

The smartest thing for Jurich: Voice support for K but pull the trigger at the end of the season (if K is less than 7-5-- which is still pathetically low in my mind but...)

Daddy Krags ran Oregon State into the ground for six seasons.  Never better than 4-6-1 and finally run out of town after 1-11.
