Re: Game thoughts so far
[QUOTE=mhall;383066]So your not giving any credit to the D at all for causing those turnovers??????????? It was just Ky giving them the ball. Yea we could have come up with more points but I also credit Kentucky with solid D Too. They were flying around with serious speed on Defense.[/QUOTE]
I give credit to our "D", but not for any turnovers. The one fumble was on a kick return where the guy stripped the ball from Locke, but it wasn't the defense. The other two were an unforced fumble and an interception that Hartline thrrew straight to our DB.
On the flip side, Johnny Patrick is a stud at Corner, wish we had more of him!

Re: Game thoughts so far
Alright guys I guess it's just the ole glass half full or half empty adage. I choose right now to see the glass half full versus half empty.
This much I can guarantee you and this one can't be denied, all the griping in the world isn't going to get us a new coach. Therefore if you are going to be a REAL fan let's get behind the kids and cheer them on, the other junk isn't helping them one dang bit.

Re: Game thoughts so far
I could comment on every thread. I will say I am proud of the Cards and even though they made alot of mistakes, they looked pretty good, compared to a tested SEC team. Kraigthorpe has got my attention , he should have yours!;) I dont like the guy but he had them ready!;);)

I wouldn't quite call UK a tested SEC team,they are the youngest they have been in a few years.I only hope they were saving themselves for the upcoming brutal schedule : They have Florida next followed by Alabama,then South Carolina and Auburn.Don't think UL would get away with what happened today against those teams.
Regardless that's THREE YEARS IN A ROW for the Governors Cup.

Re: Game thoughts so far
Slipped cork you say klownthorpe has your attention. What happened on going for it forth down with a sweep to short side of the field. That play has zero chance of working. Powell didn't even get within four of the line scrimmage. He didn't even have the plays called at the end of the game. They got a delay of game call. How many times you see a delay of game call in the hurry up offense. Calling them like you see them is not being a bad fan, it's just being realistic. There was a time about three years ago when Kentucky fans were wondering if they would ever beat us again. I know how they felt now!

Re: Game thoughts so far
Honestly, this game turned out to be about what I expected.
Close...some key mistakes that could have turned the tide either way...and Kentucky just happened to come out on top. Both teams did their fair share to give it away. In the past, with Kentucky's luck, we would have been on the short end of the stick. I fully expected a last minute heroic catch from the Cards that would have done to us what we did to them 2 years ago with Woodson-to-Johnson...but it wasn't to be.
Kentucky has a solid defense, similar to last year. Kentucky has a spotty offense, similar to last year, and not improved as much as some in the Blue camp want to believe. We have special teams issues. We will see how it develops throughout the murderers row that we are up against next. Florida-Bama-South Carolina. Ouch.
The Cards are not a bad team. Burke is going to be a player, just wait. He was on a mission today in front of the home town crowd, but is just a little too green behind the ears yet to make it happen...let him ripen for a season and see what he does for you. He will be alright.
Krags...well...gotta agree with you fellows. He likely needs to go.
Kentucky will finish 7-5, at the very best...and that may be reaching.
Louisville...I honestly don't know.

Re: Game thoughts so far
I know one thing I'm peeved I don't get ESPNU. Sounded like an exciting game only thing I could do was watch the crawl at the bottom of the screen for updates. I agree with Splitshot the game played itself out about like I expected it to given the scenario. A turn-over plagued third quarter gave UofL the chance it needed to hang around in the game. At the beginning I thought it was going to be the other scenario where UK comes out all guns blazing at the beginning with Louisville digging a deep hole early.
They almost pulled it out though. Both teams will have things to tackle this week at practice.
Tim T good objective posts.
I think they can steal a couple of games on the schedule but hopefully defeats that should have been wins on that same schedule will not negate.

What I was referring about was compare that game to the previous one and all of them last year. This is his complete team, I think they have potential, a play here or there they win. His play calling looked ALOT better and needs a little tweaking with this team.I still cant believe guy dropped that ball.:eek:

I'm not at all surprised he dropped it. His mistake was trying to field it in the fist place.

Now that you pointed it out, you are exactly right! No need to even touch the ball. Bet he can catch a hundred just like that one though.
