You may have noticed the lack of posting lately here at Inside the Cards, well, today that all ends. The build-up to Thanksgiving was hectic as far as work and family goes; we have now quit our jobs and disowned our families to cover Kragthorpe's hopeful firing, and devote our full time to eating Cheeto's and watching sports. You're welcome...
So where do we start?
1. Since we last spoke UofL's basketball team rattled off 3 straight wins in consecutive days, leading to our first 4-0 start in several years. The team shot poorly in the first two games, we all know the reliability on our offense that this young team has, and so it was no surprise that along with poor shooting came a close game. This team will not rely as much on our defense (as we have in the past) to create our offense, instead it will be the opposite. My only concern is that, and many have pointed this out, Samardo looks exactly the same as he did at this point last season. This needs to change for us to be a success, or TJ and Goode need to step up a lot.
2. It is football senior day, and all I can think to say to the seniors is "I'm sorry". Here are some links you might enjoy reading about while preparing to lose for game preparation -
3. My take on the game and our current situation is not positive at all. I think there is no way we are competitive, despite Rutgers losing to Syracuse last week. It hink the crowd will probably be around 20,000 if we are lucky, and this is a true shame to all of our seniors, but the focus isn't on them because of Koach. Simply put, this game had better be an end to the Krag era, but I'm hearing too much about him possibly being brought back to feel comfortable.
4. That being said about Koach, here is our short list of names we hear, discuss amongst yourselves (or email us here if you have heard of anybody else)
Charlie Strong (OC at Florida)
Kyle Shanahan (son of Mike, OC with Houston Texans)
Tommy Tuberville (former Auburn HC)
Turner Gill (HC at Buffalo)
Philip Fulmer (former Tennessee HC)
Of course everything is a rumor until next week (fingers crossed and a prayer sent to baby Jesus), but these are some names we have heard tossed around.
5. Back to basketball, the Cards take on UNLV on Saturday (aka tomorrow), a preview to come shortly.
Happy Black Friday and Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving
