Moody Monday

Posted on by

The Monday morning quarterbacks were out in full force Saturday and Sunday after that abysmal loss so there’s not a whole lot left to be said (as he rambles on).

Urrutia: In my opinion, Kragthorpe took a very positive step in announcing that Mario Urrutia’s position is up for grabs. Urrutia has never been the type of player who goes out and lays it on the line. There are too many instances where he has given up on plays and cost us yardage with unnecessary penalties. Despite his obvious potential, he will never play in the NFL with his rotten attitude. I recall him stopping halfway through his route in the Gator Bowl two years ago while U of L still had a chance against Virginia Tech. His body language indicated he didn’t care anymore.

Brian Brohm: Brian has too much going for him to let this season rot away. He has to assert himself as THE leader, because he is without unquestion the only person who has demonstrated that ability (and that includes the coaching staff) thus far.

Harry Douglas: Have we ever had a more talented receiver? He is everything that Uruttia is not. He puts his body on the line every single play.

UK Comes to Town

UK is bringing its carnival to town tonight, having a rally on Fourth Street where we have had so many memorable scenes in the past. And wouldn’t you know it, they schedule is at 5 o’clock so the local TV stations can provide live coverage. You know they will because the local media is so lazy they will cover anything that keeps them from doing actual news.

It will be interesting to see how much coverage WAVE-TV provides since the station gave up the rights to cover UK football and basketball games. Apparently, the UK administration was so demanding that WAVE pulled out of the agreement. Proud of you WAVE.

Hopefully the event falls on its face. But I’m afraid every UK fan in town will be down there to ensure that it doesn’t.

Update: Gotta take back some of the comments about the local media for now. The coverage was largely relegated to the sports. Attendance was said to be “several hundred.” Based on my 30 years in journalism and/or public relations, that usually means there were between 200 or 300 UK fans.
