A Sad State of Affairs



Record Breaking Day in More Than One Way

Saturday was a sad, sad day for University of Louisville football. As evidenced by the picture above, attendance was the lowest in PJCS history, a crowd of 21,497. That low of a number only became smaller as the game went along, finally ending at an estimated 3,000. How did this happen? Blame Halloween if you'd like, but we all know that is not the truth, The Krag has brought our program to this low of an attendance. We cannot lie to ourselves any longer, the fan base is so outraged that there is no reason to attend the games anymore. Walking from our tailgate to the stadium on Saturday, you could feel the anger towards the Koach, and the sympathy towards the players.

The following picture is the sole reason my weekend was ruined



Did you ever, and seriously think about this, ever think you'd see a crowd like this at PJCS for a close game? During fairly decent weather? With a team that has guys you want to see succeed? I'll answer it for you, no, I never thought I'd see this.

What cheered me up? A lovely sign that a fan made.



Many fans let their voices be heard at the game on Saturday, the one's who showed up that is. Support for the players was there, but it is very clear, there is pure hatred for our beloved Koach. How can a man be so incompetent and keep his job for 3 seasons? On top of that, how can Tom Jurich (a bright man, and a man who we here at Inside the Cards deeply respect) not pull the plug on this train wreck sooner. The damage has been done, but we as a fan base are going to speak our while we can.

Bag Krag World Record

A huge thank you to anybody and everybody who helped out with setting a world record for most people Bagging Krag. To those of you who opted not to participate but showed your support to us anyways, thank you as well. At least 400 bags were given out and worn at the game, not a failure in our minds. Hell, we even made the Courier-Journal's photo gallery with this picture -



If you are the man in the above picture, contact me immediately, you are officially an Inside the Cards celebrity, you are owed a debt of gratitude. What that debt is will be figured out shortly, and you will be notified.

Don't let this be the end of Bag Krag, keep your bags, bring them back for the Syracuse game. Let the word out early, the Syracuse game will be the site of Bag Krag II. Breaking our original world record, and getting thousands more supporters. Help us help the Cards.

If you would like to help us plan or get publicity for Bag Krag II, contact me here. We welcome any and all of the help we can get. Preliminary plans are to have our tailgate at the lot across from the Whip Mix lot on Central, the same place as the Arkansas State game.

A huge thanks to the guys at Bag Krag for getting the word our and having a great site, and great ways to spread the anti-Krag movement. More thanks for Card Chronicle for links to us and Bag Krag, also a huge thanks to everybody else who helped spread the word.

Keep Bagging Krag in your daily life (send all of those images here), and get ready for Bag Krag II.
