PrintSouthern Miss. Golden Eagles at Louisville Cardinals, Oct 10, 2009 7:30 PM EDT
Enthusiasm at an all-time low, two mediocre (?) teams, ESPNU coverage; this has all the makings of a classic open thread.

let me be the first...
To say that I am rooting for the annoucement at the end of this game.

I honestly don't know how to feel
Can never root against the Cards, but what does a win do, really?
This sucks.

Prolongs
the inevitable.
An early resignation could yield an earlier replacement announcement which could benefit recruiting. Just imagine a ‘big name coach’ (Tuberville) that could begin to recruit indirectly much earlier.
The interim coach does his job for six more weeks and then much better days are here again.
I like this scenario…it begins tonight with a loss. I don’t want to root for a loss, and I am truly conflicted about it.
I just threw up and I think it's a sign for the game
the last time I threw up the day there was a Louisville game was in 1993. I was vomit free since 93. I blame krag
That's huge
I went from ‘94-’03 and thought it was impressive.

Im with you on the confident loss, but I’m not a fan of Dull Tuberville. I’d perfer a Gruden

That was Kragthorpe'd.
Which is a verb. Kragtastic is an adjective, and most definitely should be added to urban dictionary.

In Memphis
but will hopefully be able to at least catch the majority of the game on TV . (Though admittedly I’ll be keeping a close eye on the UF-LSU game., too) I am increibly jealous of my roommate who is going to the game and called to tell me of his hug, picture, and autograph with a certain Harry Douglass outside the stadium. Glad to be on vacation, but man do I wish I could have been there.
I think I want to avoid a loss if nothing else but because of our guys on the field. Can’t say that a blowout culminating in Kragthorpe’s firing would make me lose any sleep, however (except perhaps because of excitement).
^God that’s a lot to type on a phone…

Fuck me.
I thought for sure this would be on ESPN360. No dice.
Can’t find it on justin.tv either. Does anybody know where it’s streaming if at all?
Yeah I havent
seen a streaming on justintv.com since the first game of the season. I think the guy who was hosting lost hope after the second game. Can’t say I blame him he might not want people to gouge their eyes out around the world.

My prediction
Southern MIss. 24 – Louisville 10. The defense plays admirably but is on the field way too much and wears down. The offense does nothing, beyond Victor Anderson rushing for 115 yards, including a 40 yard TD run. However, Krags still refuses to give him the ball when we need him to have it and the offense continually stalls. At the post-game presser, after repeatedly being asked about the offensive play-calling pulls his blame the offensive coordinator card. All of a sudden the “offensive coordinator” bursts into the presser and tells Krags to take responsibility for his own failure. Krags then fires the OC and soon the verbal altercation turns physical and Krags punches himself out, a la Tom Cable punching out his assistant coach. Krags is then committed at Central State, but surprisingly, Jurich continues to stand behind him. Unfortunately, or fortunately, he can’t fulfill his duties because a) he’s been committed and b) he says that he “fired that son of a bitch offensive coordinator” and refuses to let him back on the field. Then, in a surprise move, Jurich brings in Hal Mumme as the interim coach. The end.

good start need to keep it going
"Strong men take care of themselves, stronger men take care of others."
Robinson never played CB ever?
No one could move from safety? Troy Brown was a nickel back for christ sake. I don’t like this
How is it?
How is it that during the play we can’t tackle anyone and after the play we’re tackling everyone and getting personal fouls…ALL THE TIME?!?!?
by Cool Hand Cards on Oct 10, 2009 8:04 PM EDT reply actions
play action deep cross here maybe
"Strong men take care of themselves, stronger men take care of others."
or the look like i don't know what to do and run like hell, then it comes back for holding
"Strong men take care of themselves, stronger men take care of others."
timeout b/c we can't get the play off in time
"Strong men take care of themselves, stronger men take care of others."
Surely to god that's a flag
He just fucking pushed him when the ball was three feet in front of him.

You know if they win
You guys who didn’t go in protest can never go to another home game again this year, or you’ll jinx ’em. :p
Oh Drew Robinson
A few more games on defense and you’ll be throwing people down eight yards out of bounds for no reason instead of wisely holding them up.

so open right over the middle its disgusting
"Strong men take care of themselves, stronger men take care of others."
I don't think Dr. Phil really helps many people.
He just gives retired conservative ladies like my mom something to get satisfaction out of.
need vic to be big this game to have a chance
"Strong men take care of themselves, stronger men take care of others."
I think he's always got that in him
He just needs Krags to give him the ball.

Introducing former players on the PA

"It's not the South, it's not Chicago, and you don't think of it as you think of New York or L.A.

was that vic on the sidelines hurt

Is it bad enough where Krag might be fired immediately afterwards?
If you look at stats, no.
We’re about dead even across the board.
But when you watch the game and see the scoreboard, then it’s not pretty. They’ve pretty much dominated momentum, attitude, and big plays.
We only have
88 yards first half! Offensive genius Krag is Offensive genius!

I don't think 111-0 would get him fired immediately afterwards.
Try not to get your hopes up that his termination is coming after every game, that will make this long season much longer.
Only four comments after Powell's touchdown, and none of them actually had the word "touchdown" in them.
This is so sad.
As much as I don't like Urban Meyer

Anthony Allen just broke a 50+ yard for GA tech
He looks a lot faster now….fucking steve kragthorpe
we actually look like a football team, the defense is hitting people and the offense isn't the bad news bears. But that can quickly change

Keep Bagging Krag
Don’t give up, Card fans. Keep Bagging Krag. TJ will finally catch up with the rest of us!
The players needed a win.
Although I don’t like the idea of Krag hanging around longer after this win.
We won but...
Krag should still be bagged. Why? I believe this quote from UofLsports.com sums it up:
Ryan Payne kicked a 32-yard field goal with 30 seconds to play to give Louisville its first win over a Football Bowl Subdivision team in nearly a year, 25-23, over Southern Mississippi on Saturday night.
Almost a year?
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
"But How will I know limits from lies, if I never try."
after watching the game on my DVR today
Bilal Powell came up huge. The TD run was great but he was a key blocker on Long’s TD catch & run and Guy’s KO Return that led to Payne’s GW FG. Game ball.
