The biggest thing on the line this morning? A perfect Card Chronicle prediction season. Granted, I've only picked against the favorite one time, but still...perfect season.
I've got the Scarlet Knights, 21-17.
Go seniors.
GO CARDS.

On press row-- just ate breakfast. 3 min before kickoff
8-10000 people at most in stands.
Just asked Fred Cowgill if he had EVER been to a college football game at 11a. He shook his head “Never. And I’ve been doing this 34 yrs…”

This is the least excited for a game in a while
I might take a nap

Beaumont scoring should be a small priority today
by cardscott5 on Nov 27, 2009 11:18 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Nevermind
I don’t know if we will score
by cardscott5 on Nov 27, 2009 11:21 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Improvement
Does anyone else notice that the only area of this team that doesn’t look improved is the offense? Seriously the D looks halfway respectable now, and the special teams is decent besides the occassional bad punt, but the offense just blows. Kragthorpe is garbage.
by rednblackfan4life on Nov 27, 2009 11:22 AM EST reply actions
Thought about driving up from ETown to go to the game today
Then I decided sleep and warmth is far more important than Kragthorpe (though I do feel bad for our seniors)
This may be a VERY long day--
Goettsche continues his yips
that fumble in 37 degree temp was kinda exciting

Hey! Rutger players actually run pass routes
past the first down marker on 3rd down….

Just got home
how did rutgers score the first 7?

Rutgers passed and ran with considerable ease on 1st drive
Ran it in from inside the 10 yard line for the TD

Thanks.
I saw our last drive. Didn’t look pretty.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 27, 2009 11:29 AM EST up reply actions
I just feel so bad for the seniors
Long, Guy, anybody else who believed in Kragthorpe just has to be really mad today.
Sadness and anger. Dempsey goes out, our offense has nothing. Soft, marshmallow hits and a sense of resignation. One of the worst holidays I can remember.
There's no way I could stomach another year of this
Every week I try to get myself up for the game and every week it’s the least exciting thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
by Mike Rutherford on Nov 27, 2009 11:31 AM EST reply actions
Agreed
How long do you think fans will give the next coach to build the program, even if his ffirst few season records are 5-7 or 6-6?
by SpeedStudent on Nov 27, 2009 11:33 AM EST up reply actions
I think that under ideal conditions
We go 6-6 next season, and 8+ wins the season after.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 27, 2009 11:37 AM EST up reply actions
I think if we are competitive we give the new coach time...
The problem with Krag is that we aren’t competitive, we don’t play with much heart, and the gameplanning/in-game decision making is terrible.
by Luke Whitehead's Rap Career on Nov 27, 2009 11:37 AM EST up reply actions
There's enough talent to win here quickly
Maybe not win big, but a competent coach will have some success here next season and then take us back to the postseason in year 2.
by Mike Rutherford on Nov 27, 2009 11:38 AM EST up reply actions
I think there's enough talent to win
But I wonder with how badly dejected everyone is, how long it will take to infuse the players with some emotion.
by SpeedStudent on Nov 27, 2009 11:40 AM EST up reply actions
I think anyone with any level of energy
Will rub off on the players.

JLS took over a 1-10 team with similar to less talent
and went bowling in his first year. It’s all about competency at the top.
D Cord Brent Guy has done an excellent job
This yr IMO
We’re trying to blitz to shake their frost QB like Syracuse did last wk
but so far , it’s had no effect
by frankpos on Nov 27, 2009 11:31 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Campa makes a play behind the line of scrimmage
And no one congratulates him. This is a game of emotion and we haven’t played with any for three years.

Once again we leave the first qtr
Losing
it’s a kragthorpian given…

Scoreless 1st quater
How many times in Krags three years has this happened? I don’t know I’d guess 12-13 times. Offensive guru huh. Cough, cough bull shit!

Ok-- Cuse were favored by 3 today
Right now— I’m thinking 28-7

at game
I just lost a bet to my dad. After they had 1st down @ the 14 I said they’d score in 3 plays…dad said 4.
That’s what its come to for us. Betting on the inevidible.

Good for Trent. Very deserving.

The run hasn't been doing much of anything
I say with the way Froman is playing, we keep throwing it until Rutgers shows they can stop it
by SpeedStudent on Nov 27, 2009 11:54 AM EST up reply actions
Nice
2 really nice throws by Froman in that drive. Hope?
How much better do you guys feel now that our kicker has a shoe and makes PATs?
I know for me, with as crappy as we’ve been on offence, missing PATs and gimme FGs was enough to drive me over the edge.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 27, 2009 11:55 AM EST reply actions
I have never been comfortable giving away points
Getting a semblance of a kicking game is an absolute necessity-and absolutely inexcusable to not have one.

And make a tackle not go along for the ride

Geez
Looks like the D doesn’t really care. Not sure I blame them, but this is embarrassing.
Raglin got owned
if it’s a slow day, they might put that on SC.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 27, 2009 12:01 PM EST reply actions
raglin is my least favorite player ever
He is the biggest liability on our d. He has the worst ball skills of any db I’ve ever seen. Everytime I see him misplay a deep ball or let a reciever catch a post right in front of him I want to grab him by the facemask and drag him off the field. I will be as glad that he is gone as krag.
by drhustle on Nov 27, 2009 12:09 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Sheesh...
Their QB has all day in the pocket— blitzes having no effect
Their running backs breaking arb tackles
Hey— their was Mario’s stiff arm. Just not one if ourplayers
by frankpos on Nov 27, 2009 12:02 PM EST via mobile reply actions
D has officially left the building with Dempsey out
energy and confidence are paramount on defense-we have none
How the heck did that team lose to Syracuse?
"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.

Bring up Kentucky beating Georgia and Anthony Allen transferring to Ga. Tech in the span of ten seconds.

Nice Ashley run brought back by a penalty
Microcosm of the season, really.

It seems to be working but ol play 1 it is
by cardscott5 on Nov 27, 2009 12:12 PM EST via mobile reply actions
yeah
That’s Kragthorpe in one play. Go for it and then call a completely predictable play.
Third times the charm
Three OCs, three DCs, three QBs this season.
Thanks for reminding me, ESPN.

That's three plays in a row
Where our secondary got TORCHED.
Rutgers didn’t catch the first two, but there’s another TD.

If there's been one thing
that epitomizes Kragthorpe’s tenure from the defensive side of the ball, it’s poor tackling. Oh look, another Rutgers TD.
And then there it is
The moment where I officially move from thinking we have a chance to just wanting this to be over.

I thought about this the other week
But what’s up with Rutgers’ kickers having weird names. Ito and now San San Te. Not saying it to be mean… I fjust ind it interesting.
I'm pretty sure
That the new coach is going to have a LOT of cleaning house to do. The vast majority of these players have absolutely no desire or passion to play, and most of the ones that do are playing their last game today.

Do over
So I think in the Spring the NCAA and Big East shoud allow the new coach to replay every team we played this season (same players and all) to determine what our record really is for 2009.
Michigan is #15?
I have a feeling the Big East is going to own the Top 25 this year.

So I missed a lot of the first half, just checked GameCast
and see that we are terrible, typical Krag game it looks like from stats and score. We are a first half team too, any way we hold them to less than 55 points?
What’s the crowd look like there?
As far as worst Krag games (from coaching alone, not just losses by surprise ie. Syracuse), where does this rank?
I figured I’d knock out a lot of questions in one post…
by Luke Whitehead's Rap Career on Nov 27, 2009 12:45 PM EST reply actions
I think RU will stop trying to run it up when they hit 40s
doesn’t meant it won’t get to 55. Crowd is Halloween-esque. There have actually been a couple decent play calls on offense but sans that, typical Krag game. End of 2nd Qtr game management was atrocious.

If we could put together offense like that consistently, Steve might have had a chance to keep his job.
Too little too late, I’m afraid.
If Ashley gets so many carries now that he starts
Why did Vic and Powell split to start the season?
by cardscott5 on Nov 27, 2009 12:57 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I think because Vic wasn't injured and Ahsley hadn't proved himself in practice

From the CJ Open Thread
c.l. brown: beaumont has soreness in his neck, they will x-ray him in locker room; he had movement in his limbs
I think ESPN has officially forgotten about the non-HD "safe zone"
That’s well in picture on ESPNHD, but not so much vanilla ESPN.
He was noticeably limping after the long catch earlier.
Dunno if that has to do with it or not though
Why do we still throw 10 yards short of the first down?
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 27, 2009 1:38 PM EST reply actions
The sad realization of this statement
is that it’s often possible to throw 10 yards short of the marker on 3rd down.
Crowd actually showed it's greatest energy on that

this game is entirely winnable
RU is folding on offense. But, sadly, a huge Trent Guy return might be necessary for us to even the score and RU is justifiably kicking it away from him or out of bounds.

That wouldn't have been a first down if Guy caught it.
Not having a QB with a big arm really hurts the offense in situations where we need more than 4 yards
Maddeningly poor offense.
On a somewhat related note, I see Cincy as the next Louisville. Brian Kelly’s going to book it to South Bend, they’re going to hire some up-and-coming mid-major, and boom, they’re 4-8 again.

Call dibs on that prediction earlier this week. We can all revel in knowing that their success and national relevancy will be much more fleeting than ours.

Probably.
I haven’t really been paying much attention to the Chronicle this week. It’s pretty common knowledge, I was just commenting on it to shoot the shit. So to speak.
no, this doesnt work like head coaching buyouts
no daily attention paid = no refund.

Krag has too many NFL formations.
I guess he doesn’t understand that those formations work in the NFL because they have something called NFL-caliber talent. You make up for that in college with more creative playcalling or execution, both of which you suck at. Consider this memo delivered.
Look at it this way
Since Krag has been here, we’ve gone 6-6, 5-7, and now 4-8. So much for signs of progress.
Many of us saw
the writing on the wall with this guy when a team with Brohm, Douglas, and Urrutia and a great O-Line went 6-6.
there's always been an excuse
but not a full explanation. I hope we find out what they really meant with TJ and Krags said there were issues from the Petrino era.

Apparently the issue was winning.
And boy did Krags weed that problem out.

We should have cut our losses there.
Instead, we bought into the whole “bad apples,” “rebuilding,” and “get my own system in place” BS. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice… you’re fucked.
Yep
And the idiocy of getting rid of the D Coordinator who had built a very good system. Not great, but very effective with such a potent offense.
You know how you convince the fan base?
You win fucking games.

Have you heard anything about the charlie strong rumor. Do you think it has any legs
by drhustle on Nov 27, 2009 2:19 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Dr, I've heard that...and surprisingly Harbaugh
my sources—and most other truly reliable sources on ITV- have gone cold dark silent
since the Gruden think came out nationally by Lombardi
The cone of silence is the most complete i have ever seen (err, not heard?)
I don’t think TJ has even told his wife—and is feeding her mis-information too
It's time
For someone to make a Kragthorpe Era remembrance video.
Sara McClachlan’s “I will Remember You” must be playing in the background.
by Mike Rutherford on Nov 27, 2009 2:20 PM EST reply actions
That video would contain nothing of his tenure here… only him walking out of the PJCS offices with a box of stuff, a half-dead fern, and a total lack of emotion…. put that on repeat so that it lasts the length of Ms. McClachlan’s song…
I wish his tenure here would have only lasted 3 something minutes…
If Krags is fired, what are the chances that they announce within 7 days?
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 27, 2009 2:20 PM EST reply actions
who knows
We should have a contest running on this: When will TJ make the announcement?
I call Sunday.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 27, 2009 2:23 PM EST up reply actions
I call Krags gets another year,
due to financial issues with buying out his contract. BWAHAHAHAHA

John Schnatter has already wrote the check
Payable to: Steve Kragthorpe
Memo: Your a Douche
I ask, because I bet my Mother-in-law a Wii game that they'll fire him in 7 days.
I think I’m getting paid.

Loved Schiano going for it on 4th down there.
Basically said to Steve “You’re calling a timeout? OK, screw you. Let’s get this done right now.”
Hate to say it
But it was a douche move by Steve in the first place. He deserved it.
