We've had 2 dreadful performances. It will take a miracle to make the Access Bowl and we barely squeeked by a team lost 58-0 to a pedestrian Wisconsin squad. Our coach looks like he's coasting, and all our Big East-level talent appears to be going to waste.

But on the bright side, Louisville is 0-3.

See? There's always a bright side.

Other good news:

It will be hoops season soon and Mick is going to have a GREAT team.

Isn't that what we heard about the football team this year? Wasn't it supposed to be a "special year"?

Much of it is going to depend on injuries.

Agree about bball, if we ever make a tourney run this is the year to do it.

Just wait until next year.

Yup, we heard that last year also.... "Just wait, the entire offense is back next year. We're going to kick arse!"

Yep. Best offense Tubby says that he's ever coached. Much improved defense. Unanimous pick to win the conference. Contender for access bowl. I'd say that qualifies.

We'll hopefully get back on track just as soon as we get our now annual September sluggish start behind us.

over 1,700 yards of offense in 3 games. Turnovers are killing us.
34 1st downs vs Temple, ran 85 offensive plays.
33 1st downs vs. Miami, ran 94 offensive plays.

Doubled up both of them on 1st downs.

And they're still making millions more than we are and aren't stuck with the cast of clowns we have in this conference.

Best news this week was Jeremy Larkin scoring 6 touchdowns against a good
Christian Brothers High School team. I would think he will play as a true freshman next year. Hope nothing upsets that from happening.

Someone start a Fire Petrino website....just for being an all around jerk, not for being 0-3.

I did see he picked up a 4th star by Scout.

Tion has a year left I believe and also Boone still has 2 years left. And also Taylor Boose and Josh Holloman redshirting who could be promising players. I haven't watch Larkin play but from the highlights I've seen he looks like he could stand to bulk up a bit before he gets to the next level.

Depends on what you mean by "special" I guess...

To add to that. Bearcats lead the nation in first downs gained. We are running an absurd amount of plays each week. Protect the football and it still will be a really fun season.

Good point. This staff is all about having fun.

We need a "Cynical response" forum. We could split off a bunch of threads over there.

I believe we also lead the nation in turnovers, stop that and Cincy will shine brighter than the sun.

Hell, do it for both reasons. Very well could end up 0-5 with road games at NCST and FSU. Ouch! Maybe Western Kentucky wasn't so bad.

Can't stand the low character guy. He couldn't hack it in the NFL and jumped ship after 13 games as the HC of the Falcons. Remember this gem:



Freegin' didn't have the balls to address his players. He left a damn note in the players' locker room in the middle of the night.

And then there was "biker gate" at Arkansas when he wrecked more than his motorcycle after he had a one-year affair with a female assistant:



I'm glad he's Louisville's problem. Here's a summary of his muck-ups if anyone is interested:

Effin' Jerk

I totally agree. This time last year everyone was calling the season over and we would not win another game.
