The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly

[Astro]

The Good News: The loss to Syracuse really doesn't mean a whole lot other than our home win streak is over and we won't be ranked... it does not affect our chances to win the Big East much, as we still play the other 6 teams, if we win out then we will win the conference, since Syracuse will not be going 7-0 or 6-1

The Bad News: This team is not winning out, so really it doesn't matter if we still have a shot at winning the confererence... with Cincy's beatdown of Marshall, WVU's annihilation of ECU, USF's blowout of UNC... I highly doubt we finish in the top 3 in the conference... we won't be keeping the Keg of Nails this season, I'll tell you that... the only reason I think we can finish in the upper half of the conference is because we have Rutgers at home... but really that didn't help too much with Syracuse

The Ugly: Someone has to be held accountable for the defense... as I heard another Louisville fan say, it appears as tho the defense is literally lost on the field... almost like they aren't even sure where they are supposed to line up or who they are supposed to cover half the time... the teaching of face-guarding is a major problem, too often do I see a long pass play given up and the Louisville defensive player does not even attempt to locate the ball, instead they try to block the WR's field of sight to prevent a catch... this is how you give up long pass plays over, and over, and over, and over again

Before the UK game I made a post saying we'd see who the real Louisville team was against UK, whether they'd step up and play like a team that could win it all or goto a BCS Bowl, or a team that will end up playing in the Toronto Bowl.... we'll you better your passports ready

Date to Watch: November 17; First non-exhibition basketball game against Hartford

On another note: I'd been posting at the other board, the old one, because it didnt redirect me to this one... just finally found this one again when no one was posting at the old one

Don't be so quick to jump the gun and say we can't retain the Keg of Nails, or can't take a W from USF or WVU. It is still possible. If Syracuse can beat us at home, I think we can beat anyone else on the road! I'm not buying in to everyone saying our season is already over! It's not over until we win our bowl game!

If the defense doesn't improve, and it hasn't improved yet, then it'll be a reach to say we win another game. We took a beating from the worst team in the conference that until yesterday had only won a single conference game in 3 years and was spanked by its first three opponents this season. I have a difficult time believing the defense is going to experience an epiphany this week and suddenly understand how to play defense this coming Saturday.

I'm not going to say our season is over, but we simply are not going to win the Big East. I'd say getting into the top 3 will be a good season at this point. We have look at the schedule and realize there are NO sure wins on it. Don't even say UConn. We can't be Syracuse at home and that leads me to believe UConn should feel like they have every chance to win that game. We are likely to lose 3 more games, at least. I mean this in all honesty, we may only win a couple of games the rest of the way. Freddy

UConn just knocked off Pittsburgh by 20 in Pittsburgh

Wish we played in a bad conference like the ACC would be easier to win games

Yea, that's the basement. We only go over there to play when mom and dad is away.
