Bling, I know we kid each other about not agreeing (at all! ), but this is one time where I can't believe you believe we wouldn't be better.

Well I do agree that Petrino is a winner, well except in the NFL.

It's not hard to believe Petrino could have won some of those games because I believe we were only a couple of plays from winning the Syracuese & UCONN games with Kragthorpe.

It's also possible we may have lost other games that were close.

Giving Louisville a 9-win season if Petrino is coach in 2007, I just dont see it.

The fair catch TD against Uconn could have made a difference and we gave up a couple long TD passes to the Cuse only because we got beat deep.

Getting beat deep from a player out of position or biting up also happened against UK for the game winner too, so that happened in multiple games.

Utah just manhandled Louisville, they ran it down our throats and dared us to stop them with their #2 running back.

Really I dont see how Petrino could have stopped or changed the Utah game with the defensive personell we had.

Our d-line & LB's couldnt stop Utah's run game.
