We Need the Real Jerry

Ok, so when watching the early portions of Wednesday's debacle against Cincinnati, ESPN obviously showed a few shots of Jerry in street clothes on the bench. Didn't think much of it at first, but then all of a sudden I was hit with an overwhelming sense of panic.
"Wait a second," I thought. "How the hell is Jerry supposed to properly cheer the Cards from the bench in slacks and dress shoes!?" At least let the man dress in sneakers, shorts and a pullover! That tie and button down shirt have got to be hampering his ability to waive one, two or (Lord-willing) three towels.
After our solid first half, I chastised myself for my earlier panic. "We got this," I rationalized. "We don't need Jerry's emotional lift tonight, well be ok."
Then the second half of whatever-you-wanna-call-it happened. Obviously my first instincts were right. I won't hate on Jerry, he gave it his best. I saw him trying to get guys pumped up, but he lacked his usual fire. Thus, I propose that (God-forbid) should Jerry be unable to go in our first game of the NCAAs (I'm assuming, I know), he be required to dress in full uniform with as many towels as he can handle.
Because Jerry, we don't need Clark Kent right now.
We need Superman, in all his toweled glory.

We need leadership
I hope Knowles is better suited for that role than Sosa/Smith have been. Sosa is and always will be a headcase and Smith’s senior season has practically been non-existent. And with all the bickering and inconsistency we see, it’s clear there is no one on the team that everyone looks up to. We need a David Padgett in the locker room and on the floor.
Preston will be the only senior with any playing time next season. I’m hoping like hell he can step up and restore some order to these guys.
But for now, yea, it would be nice to have Jerry rain in half a dozen 3-bombs a game in the Big Dance. Would give us huge lift.

Spinning stats
Ok so anyone can spin stats. And I like to spin stats to help make sense of things that do not seem to make sense.
These are hard to over-look:
1) When Jerry scores in double digits we’re 9-1. When he does not play / does not score we’re 0-4.
That first stat gets shot down a little when you consider that we’re 0-2 when he scores 9pts. Something’s magic about double digits, I dunno.
2) Against our Big East brethern we are 6-5 when we are up at half. We are 5-3 when we are down at half. Furthermore WE ARE 5-0 WHEN WE ARE DOWN 1 TO 9 PTS AT THE HALF (0-3 down 10+ b/c we never bothered to show up).
3) We are 20-0 when we take care of business, like professionals. Because all 14 of you that blessed with the talent and the will to wear a Louisville jersey will be professionals in something someday. 0-12 when we walk up the court, hanging our heads while we still have a fighting chance.
I know, the players don’t read this. But after some games, don’t you want kick them in the butt and remind them of how special this time is?
actually
for US, they do. It shows up in the column marked W’s and L’s.
That’s not to say that a team can’t take care of business, give it all they’ve got, and still lose. Or give a half-effort and still win.
