Apologies for Lack of Posting the Past Few Days

My apologies for the lack of posting the past few days, my good health was Kragged and I have been down for the count ever since. A busy few days in the world of UofL athletics, let's see what I've missed -

• Another Big East loss under the lead of Koach Steve Kragthorpe. The team did play with heart, and it was our game to win as it came down to the wire, but once again, Koach did not play to win the game. Will Stein "played his tail off" against WVU and earned our respect as a starting QB, and almost led us to victory. We here at Inside the Cards could not feel more sorry for the players on this team for having to play for such an incompetent Koach, these guys play hard and do not give up when so many of us would. The Krag had this to say this week -

“They may be upset with the things that I've done or they may not like me — and that's OK,” Kragthorpe said Monday on the Big East teleconference. “Everybody can have an opinion. They're entitled to an opinion, but what I would like our fans to do is come support these players.”

• Koach, there is a huge difference in supporting the players (which I think we can all agree, we are supporting this team more than some previous UofL squads), and being upset with you. Bagging Krag is not a slap in the player's faces, it is nothing against them, if anything it is a show of support for them.
• Arkansas basketball is suspending multiple players (including some big names) for the UofL game coming up next week.
• Mike, of Card Chronicle fame, posted the best Big East basketball preview that I've seen this season. Check it out here. While you're there be sure to check out The Best Louisville Game of the Decade tournament, great stuff and a great site.
• I've been meaning to mention this for a while, but Elvis Dumervil is making a huge name for himself in the NFL. Those of us who remember him from his days as a Card are not surprised by his career so far, but we certainly are proud.

Look forward to more posts now that the sickness is gone (knock on wood), and get ready to Bag Krag again this Saturday against Syracuse.

*Also don't forget to sign up for the UofL/UK basketball tickets we are raffling off, go to our site, InsideTheCards and leave your name and email address in our comment box. Sign up as many times as you'd like, and if you can get on the air during Krag's call-in show and give him a "real question" and a shout out to us, we'll give you 20 extra sign up's in the raffle.
