Trying … but not successful.

Charlie,

I have to give you kudos for being able to look at the sunny-side instead of the dwelling on the errors. Hopefully, the team will bounce back and win the next couple of games. If we can go 7-5 this year at least we will be better than last year. Although that is not saying much given the weakness of the Big East and the amount of home games we have this year.

Justcards, if you’ll notice,I had a tough time keeping the positives positive.

I’ll let you dwell on the positives, but I’m not ready to let go of the anger, yet. This was as close to must win game as the Cards have had since Krag became head coach. I am so PO’d by the seemingly endless string of caoching mistakes. From not using the right people at the right time, to poor play calling, to penalties because of the lack of basic fundamentals, to using time outs at the wrong time, etc.

It’s obviously difficult to get a team of young and new players to work smotthly together. But for some reason other head coaches seem to be able to do just that.

I believe that Steve Kragthorpe is mid-major head coach, unfortunately Louisville is in the Big East, not the OVC. I may end up being wrong but after watching last season and this one so far, I don’t have much confidence in his ability to right the ship.

Uconn won the kicking game, won the penalties, won the turnovers… basics win.

It wasn’t quite a Syracuse-sick-to-my-stomach- feeling

I don’t believe i’ve ever—or ever will again — be that caught off guard.

BUT

There is no way you lose that game

No way

but we did.

And there are ALWAYS most excellent excuses (often the same ones),

and ALWAYS a totally unemotional Koach afterwards, “taking defeat well.”

Yes, K takes defeat very well. I think I hate him.
