The Big Lead Asks - What's up with the Losing in Louisville

The historic rise and fall of the University of Louisville football program has been well documented over the last year. You can't turn on local radio without it jamming the airwaves. Every time you turn on the radio someone is clambering for Kragthorpe to be dropped off on SMU's doorstep or sent back to Tulsa. I had enough. Give the guy a chance, I said. That was until I witnessed the Kentucky game two weeks ago at Cardinal Stadium. What a disaster. The team was outplayed and outcoached. They looked lost. I can't understand it.

Well "The Big Lead" today posted an article discussing this very topic, asking a simple question: "What's the deal with losing in Louisville?" Here's a little taste...

Since Kragthorpe took over, Louisville has gone 7-7 with losses to rival Kentucky (twice), Connecticut, Utah and 2-10 Syracuse. Louisville opened this season on national television with a 27-2 smackdown. If the heat was on Kragthorpe going into the season, he must feel like he is sitting in hot magma.

The fact is that the clock is ticking for Kraggy. Regardless of the outcome this year, I'm sure Jurich will give him one more year on the sidelines to prove his worth. Won't matter, Cantwell is gone and Matt Simms is busy being suspended and rolling doobies.

Finally...you may be asking yourself, "Why would you post a picture of an innocent young lady at the top of a football article?" Well two reasons...(1) I couldn't stand to look at Kragthorpe's massive goatee again and (2) that young lady isn't so innocent. You might remember her as the now deposed University of Louisville cheerleader who bore it all on the internet. Right after her boyfriend said, "Don't worry sweetie...no one will ever see these. Don't you love me?." Classic. She even managed to get her UofL National Championship ring in some pics. God love her. In case you need a refresher on this subject...here you go. I highly recommend it (very NSFW).

I wonder why it took me 30 minutes to finish this post?
