This game was AWESOME. Every first string wideout had a TD and it was only out of mercy that Rutgers didn’t strive for 70. Because they could have, given that Louisville’s DC decided that sticking to man coverage on faster and/or bigger wideout was the plan regardless of how silly Teel and aforementioned wideouts made them look.

Still, BEST FIRST HALF EVER.

[note: My moniker made sense when i set it up and petrino was our coach]

sad sad corrections to your post. we’re now 1-6 in the bigeast. and we brought 25 DEFENSIVE players last night. so in both cases our performance was even worse than you outlined.

funny headline on our rival uk’s board: i’ve got a fever.. and the only prescription is more Kragthorpe!

sigh.

Nobody saw it, but EA reported it (so it must be true). The studio guys were going on about how RE gave GS an earful in the tunnel at halftime. I guess he was offended about RU taking the TOs to get the ball back with like a minute left in the half and of course they scored since Teel was can’t miss and UL’s secondary was Georgia-esque. Did the ‘ville hire Kevin Ramsey or something?

Anyway, take it for what it’s worth. Sort of dumb to bitch about getting RUTS at halftime. Especially when the secondary has so little interest in the game anyway.

Being a UL is so rough these days, I’ve taken to using the coach’s name as an insult, as in “Go Krag yourself, Mr. Vice-President” and the like.

oof. good thing I was properly lubricated before, during, and after the game, unlike Coach Pinkel tomorrow.

I wish my team had a coach that would put the hammer down like that. Timeouts and goin’ for 50 before the half? I’m FOR IT.

Question: Ron English confronting Schiano at half-time: douchebaggery? Yes?

Speaking of Bon Jovi, when they went to commercial with about 4 minutes left to go, they started playing “You Give Love A Bad Name” over the PA. (They’d already gotten “Living on a Prayer” out of the way earlier.) And they put this 9 or 10-year-old kid who was vigorously singing along, with air guitar when appropriate, up on the Jumbotron, for the whole damn song. Lots of fun.

Seriously, though, as much as Louisville’s D might have been hurt, Mike Teel was actually damn good last night. He got those long bombs exactly where they needed to be. Of course, he did have one INT that didn’t count because of PI, but it wouldn’t have been a proper sendoff if he didn’t.

Hard times here in Derby City. Just goes to show how fast an up-and-comer can fall. Kragthorpe needs to go, esp. when there are a variety of good experienced coaches available who can right the ship.

They actually took 62 players to the game of that only 25 were on the defensive side. Still woefully short of a full boat.

Based on the halftime score I would have guessed the “D” had closer to 8 live bodies and 17 scarecrows dressed in Louisville uniforms.

The best part of that game was seeing the ‘R’ of RUTGERS chest painted souls fall off the bleachers.
