nothing new
and not on the mark

That is why something like that is written. Because it gets linked on a dozen websites, and there is no such thing as bad publicity.

Bobby 41-9
John L. 41-21
Krag 12-13
Cooper 13-20

Let the record speak…..

Remember when Bozo crowned Kragthorpe the king of this town after his win vs. South Florida? Rick is trying to defend his mistake and blame Petrino for Krags losing out last year. I agree Petrino is a punk and left us in the cold, but his coaching ability is not up for debate, and if recruits left because of him that is what happens when different coaches take over. Thomas left because he didn’t like Kragthorpe, as did Allen. Blame Petrino for recruiting kids who don’t like sissy coaches. Just saying.

I think this was an idea set up by Bozich and Crawford, one guy takes the “it’s Petrino’s fault!” side using predominately emotional arguments and the other takes the opposing argument with actual facts.

Or perhaps Jurich and Bozich are besties and Tom asked his good ol’ boy to write a nice little column during rivalry week to convince the fans that its not his and Kragthorpe’s fault…big bad Petrino shat in his oatmeal before splitting town.

And that’s an awful lot, girl.

Get a haircut

100% Kragthorpe, Rick; who has been the coach the last 3 years?

2007 (would have been Bobby’s 5th year-so all his players)-how many NFL caliber players were on a 6-6 team; at least 7, that is 100% Steve Kragthorpe’s fault.

2008-2009 look at all the big contributors that would be playing on this team were it not for non-Petrino related problems, Anthony Allen, Andre Henderson, Peanut Whitehead, Latarius Thomas, C.J. Peake

-Then there are the Jeff Adams who have been starters and now are not, also Brandon Heath who changed positions and had an injury to start his career here.

-By my count that’s 10 solid players

-Then there is the coaching staff’s ability to develop talent. Kragthorpe has not shown the ability to develop ANY of the players on his team. Look at the kicking situation, it has been a disaster since he took the helm. The defense has been a disaster since he took the helm. The offense has had major letdowns and despite gobbling up big yardage has shown an inability to score. Yet look at Bobby Petrino and what he “inherited” as we like to say so often from John L. Smith, and he imporved each of those “phases of the game” tremendously by developing talent.

-Kragthorpe’s ineptitude has been aparent since his first game where a division II school was gobbling up yardage on the defense. It’s been proven lacking in blow-out losses and a team that is unable to compete with average football teams week in and week out. These kinds of things did not happen when Petrino was the coach.

Let’s not put the blame on someone who took the program to the pinnacle of its success in all aspects (including recruiting… look at the recruiting services… 4 and 5 star talent had NEVER come to U of L before he came here on any regular basis). This is Steve Kragthorpe’s mess, one which Jurich has not helped by changing his analytical “criteria” away from success on the field to something that he won’t tell the fans and media about. 100% Kragthopre, the man in charge of this program during it’s demise, 0% Petrino, yes he left in a whirlwind and always flirted with a “better” job, but let’s be honest, who does not do that, and look at the results in wins and losses.
