PrintSyracuse Orange at Louisville Cardinals, Nov 14, 2009 12:00 PM EST
I found myself reading through the comments from the open thread of last year's "Battle for the Bottom," and, in the wake of the most disappointing loss of the season, found it to be a good reminder of where we're coming from. Enjoy.
"The Battle for the Bottom." "The Surge for Seventh." Whatever you wanna call it, it's f'ing on.
And when it's f'ing on, you know who you have to turn to...

GO CARDS.

Off to cousin Steve k's wedding
Hope he doesn’t make us do the chicken dance.

We just ran a play where our receivers were Burke, Stein, Powell and Victor
At least it’s creative idiocy
first play of offense
and we line up wrong. how uncoached are these players? this late in the season and they can’t line up legally????
right! same thing I said,

How the hell did Campa not begin the season as a starter?

HC/OC and your team lines up illegally the first play of the game.
I just can’t get past that. That’s 100 percent all on the coach.

Every thing is on him
including lots of cow shit.
WVU had back to back penalties of 3 players on one side of the kicker
and I immediately thought we will find a way to do this vs. Syracuse. It’s really a battle of the inept between Stewart and Krags
4-2 Louisville

so...
did anyone notice that attendance is so bad that it looks like the entire band didn’t even show up.
Screen information during K's pre-game interview
the only extra info. they could come up for with was “Former Tulsa head coach”
less than 3.5 points average in the first quarter
Let’s compare Krap’s scripted beginning to Petrino’s. That’s ice cream compared to shit.
Shit has a better percentage of scoring
because shit happens. And people score off that shit all the time

Mike
it appears that I am not the only one who is a completely apathetic about this game.
That was an incredibly fast 1st quarter
none of the ESPN games ended the 1st and they started before us
Should he have stayed on the bball team?

"6-9, 250, why does he only have 9 catches on the season?"
asks espn360 guy.
I'm sorry
But Froman just isn’t that fast.

damn
Charlie Stubbs is back. Third and seven and we run a six yard pattern.
I call better plays on Madden.
I challenge Krag to a game of Madden on coaches mode.

too slow to throw
our guy was sooooo open. and stingily gets another penalty. The streak lives.
Yeah, that's the way to do it...
Wide open receiver, so underthrow him and get it picked off. And Stingily with a penalty.
We suck.
I want a completely new Team. New everything. QB, Coach, Uniforms, Strength coach, Backs coach
new plays, new 0-line, new backs, everybody and everything is expendable.

I'd keep Vic, Ashley, Beaumont, and Campa.
The rest are pretty exchangeable. Hell, I’d keep Burke, too, but only as a backup.
I'll give em all up if that's what it takes to win again.

OT
What happens if the game is 0-0 and stays that way through 15 overtimes? Is there a mercy rule for the spectators?
playing to the level of competiton
and of course Wanny
was quite impressive
when you think that they have 5 players suspended for the game
Seton hall only beat St. Peters by 2 as well
UConn is going to be good, but Pitt and the Hall should worry
360
i’m more interested in clicking over to watch Anthony Allen and GaTech than our game.
is that wrong?
delay of game after a timeout
wow. we must be wearing orange

ref signalled for the clock to keep going
even though Ashley was clearly pushed out of bounds. awesome.

I don't understand one thing...
This is the same team that put up decent yardage against UK. Yeah, we struggled in the red zone that game, but at least we got to the red zone often and had opportunities. UK is no Florida, but Syracuse is no UK… how can we not even get a fucking first down in this game?
This is terrible. This just might be as bad as it gets.
Seriously, it's been an offensive regression since Utah even
We moved the ball on Utah and they have a solid defense. I don’t know how you could get this fucking bad without people giving up or if they just don’t care. It’s pathetic
Chichester's being covered by Kent Desormeaux
And we still won’t throw to him.

I thought you were going to link to the Paulus flopping

looking for the positive
i’m not saying their offense is any good, but there are some guys (the usual culprits) flying around on D.
yep
they came to play today and at WVU

Great...
now the refs decide to recognize a fair catch call.
You couldn’t at least give it to use for retribution?

So you burn through all your timeouts to take a knee.
I hate you, Steve Kragthorpe. You have destroyed everything, and I hate you for it. I’m not even going to politely ask you to leave anymore, I’m going to make you. Seriously, don’t fuck with me on this. If you’re not out of town by Christmas, shit’s going down.
The over under was 46 for today...
Think they meant that to be yards?

First half breakdown
Syracuse: We’re pathetic. Louisville: We’re more pathetic. S: We’re offensively inept. L: We’ll make your defense look like a monster. S: We’ll fumble 3 times. L: We’ll have our noodle armed QB underthrow a sure touchdown and get picked. S: Oh yeah? L: Yeah. /slap fight
Fire Kragthorpe
in the locker room at Half, and announce that all remaining fans in their seats are in a lottery to determine who will coach out the season. Think of the publicity. At least the fans would have something cool to talk about and the players would probably enjoy just playing it out for fun. Or not. I’ll shut up now.
Is Kragthore really a "Nice" guy?
I don’t want to get personal, really , I don’t. But, if you burn through assistants and players the way he has, how much of that is on you and they way you treat people? When do you have to start taking some responsibility for your actions?
Should we have an attendance guessing game?
Winner get’s a picture of rutherford that’s has a lipstick kiss
This Big East commercial is so amazingly awful
“Hey guys check out our highlights on BigEast.com.” “Hey man great catch.”
exciting action
Did you catch that promo? BE exciting action and they used Louisville in the same sentence? Fucking amazing.
Trophy for the winner of this game
1) Football bat (as in more fucked up than a…)
2) Crutch
I like crutch

I'm pretty sure Paulus hasn't thrown a pass longer than 10 yards

The stats indicate an offensive shootout.

how tragic
the guy lines up for a FG with 24 minutes to go and the announcers say it could be the game winner.
Syracuse: You know, on second thought, we don’t really want this touchdown.
Louisville: No… take it… please, we insist.
Syracuse: No really… it’s not fair.
Louisville: Sure it’s fair. Look, we won’t even cover your receivers for real.
Syracuse: Well, we were going to run it anyway…
Louisville: Oh… yeah, we didn’t recognize that.
Syracuse: It’s okay, it happens.
Louisville: Sooooo…. you guys want this touchdown?
Syracuse: No, it’s cool, we’ll call a stupid play and settle for the field goal. We’ll wait to get the lone touchdown of the
game sometime after you miraculously tie it put, probably after we turn it over in our own territory.
Louisville: Sweet. See you on the flipside?
Syracuse: No doubt.
^chest bump^
Long down
The only thing that could make this worse.
by Mike Rutherford on Nov 14, 2009 2:05 PM EST reply actions
Yeah, cover your face with the Waffle House menu.
Don’t want them to steal your offensive genius.
And bringing out the cart for Long… my God this is seriously rock bottom guys.
hate to see Long hurt
but did you notice once again the 3rd down route was short of the needed yardage. seeing the cart come out is a bad sign. he’s a good kid.
Jesus
What did we do to so anger the football gods? Scott Long deserves much better than this. Now I wish the poor kid had transferred. Let’s all think good thoughts for the kid.

great play by Stingily
he wasn’t the one holding
The biggest highlight of that quarter was a catch negated by a penalty
Sums up the offense in this epic battle
I just spent the last five minutes...
reading articles about the “fat little girlfriends” incident, of which I just heard about.
So yeah, I can’t judge because I’m bored too.
The Battle to See Who Sucks More
Man, this game is depressing. Watching the Cards hoist than BCS Trophy seems like 30 years ago.

I'll be honest...
It’s not that different from Vista SP2. It’s mostly just hype after Vista was such a flop.
If Scott has a concussion, or even a chance at one, he should stay on the sideline.
If Krag puts him in, that may be his worst decision of the game. And could be the biggest dagger in his career.
sorry I accidentally just flagged your post.

No worries.
I’ve done it before. Especially if I’m using my iPhone… it’s really hard to press the reply button sometimes and I’ll accidentally hit the other one. As long as the post isn’t really bad, it’s not a big deal.
I turned on Houston-C. Florida and the dude who announced the Utah game was stumbling through a highlight
Just keeps getting worse
It doesn't really matter.
And there’s the problem… there’s no reason to challenge that. They were going to punt. If you don’t get it, you lose a timeout, and even if you do get it… congratulations, they’re still going to punt.
This guy is a joke.
You should see our former coach at WKU
the first kickoff of the game vs North Texas he runs an offside kick.

Come on offensive line. throw it Froman. Jesus. The QB draw was stupid too
By Design??
If so, that was the “QB Circle” play. The QB runs around in a circle until he is tackled. Works everytime…

Would be a great fit for D-III though
how pitiful
the play of the game is one that didn’t count. Limbo baby, how low can you go?
If only we could always play like that last drive.
Krags really didn’t want to go 0-3 against the Cuse.

lol..
shows how important this game was to me-didnt even realize it was on. Thought it was going to be played tonight. Got a good synopsis of the game from the thread-and judging by that I didnt miss much at all. Oh well.
Good win? Good job Cardinal players You still suck, Steve.
For those that weren't at the game.
The fans had a wave going around at least 8+ times, it had to be some sort of record. And I don’t mean just any wave, I’m pretty sure even TJ was so bored he participated.
