Indiana State added to 2009 schedule

239094201_b1de9821ee_medium

There hasn't been, to my knowledge, a formal announcement from U of L, but according to the Indiana State athletic website the Sycamores will be traveling to Papa John's Cardinal Stadium for a game on Sept. 5.

Indiana State joins Kentucky, Utah, Florida International and Southern Mississippi as non-conference opponents on the 2009 Louisville football schedule.

The Sycamores went 0-12 a season ago, and lost to the two Division I-A teams they played (Eastern Michigan and Northern Illinois) by a combined total of 100-3.

Expect the Steve Kragthorpe offense to pull out all the stops. Off-tackle runs on obvious running downs, crazy middle screens on 3rd and long, six-yard hooks, all of it, baby.

Brace yourself, Sycamore fan.

My pre-preseason prediction...

I think....

….we need to predict 6-6 or 7-5 so that when he goes 4-8 it doesn’t “beat expectations”.

Everyone’s expectation are for 3-9 or 4-8 if we “upset” Syracuse. So if he somehow manages to go 6-6 he’s got a (gulp) 4th year.

Frankly, I don’t see how he doesn’t get a 4th year regardless. Remember TJ’s “get through the next 2 years” quote? This year’s team doesn’t have talent and (again) has new coordinators. Built in excuses.

We need high expectations. For instance, 2 or less “not enough men on line of scrimmage” penalties per half.

The JUCO QB-from what I understand he looks to be ready.

Oh yipee

A lose-lose for just about everyone.
Can’t wait to come close to losing to the worst team in football this side of Eastern High School

Yes sir,

this will beef up the ol’ football program prestige.

Good grief. Never has any program so well established fallen so far so quickly

I believe the Florida International series doesn't start until 2010

at least according to the Miami Herald website.

that means UofL is still looking for one more non-conference home opponent… right?

Could be right

I’ve been wrong six times before.

Indiana State

The real question is will Indiana State be next year’s Syracuse? If we lose to the mighty Sycamores Kragthrope should be fired as the final gun goes off. Better still the gun should be pointed at him!

Indiana State!

Yahoo! Another win on the schedule! That gets us up to 3…maybe four. The key now is to add another cupcake. Maybe one of the intramural teams over at Bellarmine or Galen College of Nursing.
