Just a beautiful set of numbers there… Can we see Cincy’s numbers side by side?

Boy how the programs have changed since 70-7… Wow.

Most Telling Louisville Statistice -

Ron Cooper’s 3 year record = 13-20

Steve Kragthorpe’s almost 3 year record = 13-17

Any way we don’t lose by 40 to Cincinnati? Pike or no Pike they are going to obliterate us (yes, I did use obliterate).

Nodding Head

Is it sad that I was slightly optimistic to see that so few of our rankings are in the Triple Digits? Eat your heart out Elon

Hey Hey

Jon Dempsey is top 20 in tackles in the country…… It’s the little things

not so bad

I really thought it would be a lot worse. Very sad.

so what is our overall ranking: around 85 out of what--113?

two other rankings

Wonder where we would stand in red zone TDs and third down conversion %. Should be in the top 10 since Kragthorpe has decided he is the best possible OC.

bout sums it up for me, we suck. congrats jon dempsey on the only top 10 stat. i wanna know the red zone and third down stats, and penalties also, kragthorpe u offensive genius u, stats dont lie. cincy & the ville have totally changed roles. we came into big east we were on top, they were the team everybody was asking what the hell are they doing in a bcs conference?
