[QUOTE=artcarney_agr;466650]Speak for yourself.....Louisville isn't bad, just young....if Charlie can refine those boys more and more with each game, Louisville will get into some kind of bowl game this winter.[/

So if you start 22 freshmen that were the best in their position in high school and they go 0-11, are they bad or young? You say they are not bad but then say IF "Charlie can refine those boys". If they are not bad why do they need refining? Beating Murray State by 12 and losing to the POWERHOUSE Florida International both at home and then not blowing a HORRIBLE Kentucky team, makes you a BAD team TODAY. It is not based on what you could be or could do in the future, it is based on what you did yesterday and before. Based on your typical Louisville stand on the fence and talk out of both sides of your mouth, KENTUCKY is the BEST College Football team in the country. We just don't have the right players or coach yet. We are just a coach and 22 5-Star players away from the BCS title

They are great and talented young players, but it takes mixing those players together and getting the right chemistry to make an excellent team......that's what I meant by refining them. They are still learning how to work with one another in the best way possible.

You know, there's no point in trying to talk to elsmallnuts......it's like betting on UK to win against Florida this weekend....just a total waste....

It is a total waste because Elnut calls it like it is. You still avoided the question, what else is new, ad to whether they were a bad team or young team. I guess if they give out championships based on young inexperienced talent Kentucky would have 2 Basketball titles and soon a third. Louisville very well may end up a talented experienced football team but right now September 23, 2011 they are a BAD football team. Age and Experience had absolutely NOTHING to do with whether the team is good or bad because to say it again in English - it is based on what you have done not what you might do. Surely the great almighty U of L Engineering School had a requirement that you read and understand the English language

If things keep goin like they are sayin in the news, the Big East will lose their BCS ties...Too many Mid Major schools will belong to their conference and we all know, it'll be called the Conference USA II......

U of L , don't want no part of the Big 12 conference..They want to have at least some chance of winning a Conference Title in the Mid Major Big East....

Can't compete against the likes of Texas and Okla., so they won't try and leave the Big East......

bad,young = not good

What in the world?? I don't think anyone was even talking about that aspect of it.......

I can't stand UK fans because they think they are so righteous in all that they do, like their poopy don't stink, that every game is heralded as a battle of good versus evil, and don't quite seem to understand that UK is a school, not a state.....I love the state of Kentucky, but not the University of Kentucky or it's athletic fans........

...and for the record, I cheered for UCONN after Louisville lost to them in the Big East tournament....it was clear from that point on who the best team was last year.

Least we were there to find out in the end.

And I thought I was the only one who noticed that? I'm Uk all the way good bad i'm there!

Exactly. It's not about settling for mediocrity, it's about having realistic expectations. Some years Louisville has great talent in the game, and then in other years the talent just wasn't found....it's not so much the coach's fault, he does the best with what he has to work with.

As for Kragthorpe, he was handed a locker room full of problems, and did the best with what he had to work with. Someone had to clean up the mess, and he got paid to do just that and then went on his way after it was all said and done. He basically was a filler until a better coach could be found.

Don't believe the lies that came out of the A.D. office over Kragthorpe. There were no academic issues or police arrest under Petrino, but suddenly there are tons of them once Klownthorpe gets the job. BS.

I will let you in a a dirty little secret that Jurich and crew are not talking much about. Louisville is being penalized three football scholarships for low academics. It seems mr. "Doing it the right way" ignored academic issues and now it is biting the current coaching staff in the rear!
