What's With The Cards?
Is this Ron Cooper Redux?
The Louisville Cardinals were supposed to compete for a national championship this year. After four horrific games (marked by porous defense, numerous repetitive brain-dead penalties and now two losses) one must wonder if the team's proving poorly coached.
Something's up. That's for sure.
Instead of trying to make the national championship game, it's a fair question now whether the Cards can make any bowl game (or even a winning season).
Think that's overreacting? Consider this. Louisville just lost to a team (Syracuse) that hadn't won all season and that won only a single conference game in the last year!
With the Cardinals' schedule still including games against Cincinnati, West Virginia, South Florida and Rutgers, all of a sudden six wins don't look like a lock.

To go from one play away from the national championship game to the Ron Cooper days is inexcusable. Jurich made a mistake - just pray he admits that mistake at the end of the season (until then, he is "in the bunker with Coach K" by his own admission - although is it really a 'bunker' if you're surrounded on both sides?) It is Ron Cooper Redux as we now proudly proclaim "ONLY 19 DAYS TILL BASKETBALL PRACTICE!!"
I guess Coach K is scowling with a pursed lip at me.

Several Cats callers to today's sports talk shows had great comments. My two favorites?
1. "Can Louisville at least try to win a few of its games this year? They're really hurting the Wildcats' strength of schedule."
2. "Where can Cats fans send their donations to contribute to the Keep Coach K fund; it's fun playing Louisville for the easy W!"
