Syracuse Orange at Louisville Cardinals, Nov 14, 2009 12:00 PM EST


"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...

Froman is the starter

Our uniforms are terrible. Fitting for this game I suppose

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.

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

Screen information during K's pre-game interview

the only extra info. they could come up for with was “Former Tulsa head coach”

by cardkevin on Nov 14, 2009 12:35 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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.

too slow to throw

our guy was sooooo open. and stingily gets another penalty. The streak lives.

by cbcard on Nov 14, 2009 12:43 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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.

What happens if the game is 0-0 and stays that way through 15 overtimes? Is there a mercy rule for the spectators?

So UConn won by 9 last night...

by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 14, 2009 12:55 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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.

by CARD_G6 on Nov 14, 2009 12:59 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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

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.

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.

by CardsFanTX on Nov 14, 2009 1:33 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

With the way this one has gone

I wouldn’t be surprised if they called that a catch

by cardscott5 on Nov 14, 2009 2:49 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

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.

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.
