PrintLouisville Cardinals at Syracuse Orange, Nov 1, 2008 7:00 PM EDT
You know who didn't eat too much candy but who did TP your house last night? This Guy.
Last week means nothing if we don't take care of business tonight.
Go Cards.

they're having some issues with names too
If I heard correctly, apparently our third string QB returned that last kickoff.

I'm gonna go ahead and say
Vic needs to get the ball more. He’s already got 73 yards and will help open up the passing game (or take over the game himself)
does anyone know if its possible to listen to the game online free?
i am going to remain optimistic and say the second half should put smiles on our faces and id like to hear it
We'd better come out smoking after halftime
or we’re in big trouble. We’ve already allowed them to think they can win it.
didn't get much production out of our receivers, after that first scoring drive
and adrian dantley’s kid is making like pat white
yeah
no one with more than one catch. Guy only has 5 yards. Vic leading receiver and rusher. we definitely need some halftime adjustments

another penalty??
I think “also getting votes” went to their heads. they are just not in this game at all.
Our passing game is pathetic.
The only down field pass we can complete is to our RB.
Coach K
Good grief. Did anyone else notice that during the time-out, the head coach uttered one, perhaps two words. Coach, it’s time to coach. Somebody please say something to get these guys at least a bit interested in playing.
theoldman
so let me get this straight...
the announcers have quoted poopthorpe several times as saying “we’re not a good team.”
so if i understand this correctly, krapcooper spends all week talking about how syracuse, 1-6 and with a head coach whom everyone’s admitted will be fired this year, is a great team, and then comes out and says that we’re NOT a great team.
way to motivate, steve.
damn straight
very very solid drive. Again, cantwell throws no incompletions and this time spreads the ball around. 17 play drive taking almost 9 minutes. Hold syracuse now and hopefully they will start to fold like every other game so far this year.
The one bright light
is that Syracuse has been a bad 4th quarter team this year.
Bolen
Does anyone know why Brock’s not playing, or have I just missed him?
theoldman
Good question
He did look like he got hit head on early in the first quarter, but he walked off normally.
To follow up on the 4th quarter thing
Syracuse has been outscored by at least 7 points in the 4th quarter every single game this year, even the game they won. They were up 8 on Pitt and gave up 18-0 in the 4th quarter (at home), and they were within 1 to WVU and were outscored by 10 in the 4th.
Well coached teams
tend to get a lot of stupid penalties, right?
Good grief
Penalties and turnovers. We look awful. Even on the TD drive the sideline didn’t appear all that enthused. Of course, I’m a long way from Syracuse.
theoldman
helper
stuck at work with no outlet to this at all except you guys. an occasional detail or two if you get the chance would be great. don’t kill yourselves though.
21-14 with 10 minutes to go
UofL has the ball on its own 35, 1st and 10.
Oh My God, Troy!
That’s how you get beat.
theoldman
The drop
I’m hoping our defense isn’t entirely deflated by the dropped pass.
theoldman
For you guys stuck w/o info
Syracuse back runs 40 yards on a second and ten play.
theoldman
As Mike said...
Last week’s win won’t mean a thing if we blow this. And with Syracuse about to score, it looks bleak.
theoldman
unreal
at this point, i take solace in another close win against georgetown, and kentucky beating itself in a scrimmage.
for the second yr in a row...
they are 28 pts better than the spread as wespeak—last yr’s then record: 41
Well thank the stars...
it is about to be basketball season. What a disaster this is. And I notice Mike isn’t posting anymore; a bad sign for the liver I’m afraid.
theoldman
break 'em up.
clearly a dynasty brewing in syracuse. kragthorpe’s head rolls for this one, i hope.
what the hell happeneded to our run defense?
you know, the one that gave up only 8 yards to a much better USF team?
there is no heart in this team
hate to say it, but from the sideline to the field, hasn’t seemed like this matters at all when it really counted. No general on the field, and nothing on the sideline.
A score
Nice throw and I’m tempted to say Troy made up for his drop, but I can’t.
theoldman
3:49 after the kickoff
need d to step up for a chance
It's about 4:30 to go, I think.
Can’t see the TV from here.
theoldman
3rd and 1 or 2
3 minutes to go.
This might be the ball game.
TO UofL
I'm afraid...
it’s game over. Syracuse first and ten with 2:30 or something to go. And unless they fumble — or put the ball on the turf as announcers and coaches like to say — we’re toast. Unfortunately, I’m afraid Krag won’t be toast, but if I had my way…
theoldman
We're at least gonna get the ball
one last time. I think. It’s 4th and 3 with 1:30 to go.
theoldman
Syracuse has to punt
4th and 2 with 49 seconds to go.
UofL has no time outs and will probably field the punt at the 20 or so
Great return by Beaumont
wasted when Cantwell throws a pick. Doug had returned the punt to about the 40, I think, and Cantwell threw the interception on 1st down. What a friggin’ disaster. We turned Syracuse into one of the great rushing teams of all time. Some senior back I’ve never heard of looked like the reincarnation of Jim Brown or Ernie Davis.
theoldman
When the ESPNU announcer team says,
“That’s got to sting,” you know there’s a problem.

FIRE KRAPTHORPE NOW!

Here's what I don't understand...
As a coach in Division One or whatever they call it these days, Kragthorpe has never lost fewer than 5 games in a season. Five games. So from whence commeth the reputation as a terrific head coach?
Of course we could also say that the well-thought-of Coach English’s defense didn’t set the world on fire tonight, either.
theoldman
so we were the 5th ranked team against the run
direct quote from homer announcer, who knows how bad syracuse stinks:
“That makes the second yr in a row that U of L has lost to Syracuse. That’s got to sting.”
Awful
I seriously can’t take this shit. Cuse hadn’t beat a D1 school all year. I am truly embarrased.
well...
i guess i’m still optimistic (maybe because i didn’t actually get to/have to see this game), but the way i see it, we have 2 more wins to get if we are to get to a bowl. I’m going to chalk this up to syracuse being our kryptonite and them knowing because they beat us last year, they can win against us. We still have pitt, cincy, wvu, and rutgers. I can see us winning 2 of those, maybe 3. I see english getting the d back on track and victor putting the offense on his shoulders.
Maybe i just hope, but i’m not going to let the shittyness of this game completely ruin the season. we can still go bowling, we can still make some noise in the BE
i wanted to be hopeful after last wk
we should never have lost to this team—again
they hadn’t beaten any div I since buffalo …and us
they had been out-scored a bazillion to 13 in the 4th qtr, but not today
our lack of O made the D play more—and it was exposed as thin
Once again....
Koach’s preparation for this game far exceeded even my expectations….yeah, there’s enough blame to spread around but he IS the head coach – he didn’t have them ready. there goes our season. Today when I was out and about with my Cardinal flag flying I must have seen 15 U of L flags on passing cars in a short period of time – all he had to do was beat Syracuse to keep the buzz going. I hope he is gone at the end of this year. I can’t see them winning any of their remaining games. SOMEONE has absolutely ruined Hunter’s throwing motion – I’m sick. Go CARDS!
Humiliating
Fuck spellcheck. This is an embaressment of staggering proportions. This wipes out the seasons gains. A record of 1-2, bottom of the heap, and 0-2 vs Syracuse. Jesus Lord. Can’t wait for Stevie’s latest pearl’s of wisdom. Blackout, here I come.
Go Cards!
The worst thing about it is....
This is not a turning point for Syracuse. They are NOT a good football team. I think two years in a row with losses to Syracuse is grounds for being fired.
