What we're all having trouble grasping is that we have to live with this one for at least another year. It's difficult but it's a reality.

Too many political hacks on the AD Board and regular folks are not permitted into "executive session" where the Board allegedly discusses matters of importance. I believe last year the Board met 3 times. The Board per UL by laws has to approve all UL team schedules, approving the football schedule without anyone raising a question was very troublesome.

Have faith my man. Tom will get it done, and the athletic board is composed of people who know what they’re doing. Have faith my man.

If anyone believes UL is going to fill 42,000 seats (let alone 55,000) playing Arkansas State, Florida International, Indiana State, Southern Miss etc, I have some land to sell them. Tom has sacrificed his creditability, as evidenced by his attacks on the fan base, former players, local media and former coaches, in order to prop up a truly catastrophic hire. The saddest part of this entire ordeal is how the UL Athletic Board has stood by and done absolutely nothing; including failing to raise questions regarding the above mentioned OOC schedule.

He wants to be the guy that is totally accountable for all phases of Cardinal Football. So, let's review how "Koach" did last night.-Fan interest: B+ 15-18,000 were in there last night. I watched the game from three different areas and listened to what was being said around me. A few snide remarks, but mostly hopeful and optimistic.-Player performance: C We've got some offensive weapons that Krag better figure out how to use. Anderson, Beaumont, Ashley, Nord, and Guy all have game changing skills. Yet, our defense was able to wrap them up effectively at times.-The quarterback bonanza: C. As mentioned in my article, I like the way Justin Burke directed the offense in the second half. I got a kick out of seeing little Will Stein out there roping a coui[ple of nice passes for completions. A couple of very nice pitch and catches between Tyler Wolfe and the wideouts. Still no clear leader. Too many sacks caused by coverage and missed blocks. Imagine how the Pittsburgh and West Virginia defenses will make these guys feel.It's going to take one hell of a coaching job to get this team to .500, though and I'm not sure we've got the guy to do it...but I'll be there to find out and I'll let him know how I think he's doing. Sonja likes to say: Love the players, love the game. I'm on board with that. Kickoff in less than 120 days. Coach Kragthorpe has publicly stated several times that it is “all on him” this year.
