Let's go Aggies. (and I can't stand the Aggies.)

He will get another year end of story

Wondering why college football players seem to be worsening in tackling every year, especially UofL? Cuz the NCAA has said teams shouldn’t practice tackling as much as in the past. A few years ago the NCAA recommended removing tackling from one of the practices during preseason camp 2adays. Also, the four practices a week of tackling was reduced to 3 before the season, and during the season 1 day a week of tackling is recommended.

When you factor in the youth of our defense and how many true freshman are playing a lot of minutes plus the lack of practice throughout the year, it’s not surprising this team struggles to tackle.

I told my friend that the fans will be saying TX A&M cheated. I hope you guys beat the crap out of KY but if you do they will say you cheated. YOU HAVE TO CHEAT TO BEAT KY. LOL

I recently caught up with Baylor commit Hakeem Vance and he talks commitment status, who else he will visit and more.

link: VANCE UPDATE

I've kept this going a little while. So here's a new update after the Georgia Tech game was completed. This provides Louisville's W-L record under Bobby Petrino since the Houston game in Nov 2016. And compares it with previous periods:

The 22 Games since and including the Houston game in 2016 were:

0-3 2016 (with Lamar)
8-5 2017 (with Lamar)
2-4 2018 (with "Puma"/Malik/Travis)
10-12 altogether

In the current 22 game span,

4-7 vs the ACC
1-4 vs the SEC
1-0 vs the B1G (neutral vs Purdue)
1-0 vs the MAC (Kent State)
1-0 vs the C-USA (Western Kentucky)
0-1 vs the AAC (@ Houston)
2-0 vs "The Little Sisters" (Murray State, Indiana State)

Bobby Petrino's two Tenures at Louisville, compared:

BP 1.0 was 41-9 (0.820)
BP 2.1 was 26-9 (0.743) before Houston game
BP 2.2 is now 10-12 (0.455) from the Houston game until now

Beginning with the Houston game Nov 17 2016 , Louisville under Bobby Petrino has been:

6-11 vs Power Five (P5) conference competition
2-1 vs G5 competition
2-0 vs FCS competition

The last time Petrino's Cards won a game against a P5 opponent was @ Kentucky Nov 25 2017.
Since that game, all five Card's P5 games have been losses:

(N) Mississippi State 27-31
(N) Alabama 14-51
@ Virginia 3-27
vs Florida State 24-28
vs Georgia Tech 31-66

The Cards have won two games against P5 opponents at HOME in their last 22 games.:

Nov 11 2017 Virginia W 38-21
Nov 18 2017 Syracuse W 56-10
The Full 22 Game Summary:

note:
P5 Wins are in Bold Green
P5 Losses are in Bold Red
All Other Games are in Light Black

2016
@ Houston L 10-36
vs Kentucky L 38-41
vs LSU (neutral) L 9-29

2017
vs Purdue (neutral) W 35-28
@ North Carolina W 47-35
vs #3 Clemson L 21-47
vs Kent State W 42-3
vs Murray State W 55-10
@ #24 NC State L 25-39
vs Boston College L 42-45
@ Florida State W 31-28
@ Wake Forest L 32-42
vs Virginia W 38-21
vs Syracuse W 56-10
@ Kentucky W 44-17
vs #24 Mississippi State (neutral) L 27-31

2018
vs #1 Alabama (neutral) L 14-51
vs Indiana State W 31-7
vs Western Kentucky W 21-17
@ Virginia L 3-27
vs Florida State L 24-28
vs Georgia Tech L 31-66

one of the positives from the Ga Tech game is that the offense is getting better and I think the staff has finally figured out a RB rotation.

We didn’t score an offensive TD against Bama, Indy State, and WKU. We scored TDs in the first half against FSU, but none in the 2nd half. Against Ga Tech we scored in both halves.

It’s a small ray of sunshine, but they are getting better on offense. I’m just not sure if that’ll be good enough against the rest of our schedule.

Volleyball currently tied for first in ACC with perennial power Pitt at 6-0.

Latarie Kinsler, a four-star defensive end in the class of 2020, announced Monday he will reopen his recruitment.

If by some small chance you read this board Bobby, do us all a favor and resign. This school gave you a second chance at your career after the mistakes that you made. KARMA seems to have come and bit you in the ass. Please do all of us a favor and just retire after this season. Dont take our successful program down with your sinking ship.

Unless.....you go to 25 again and get testosterone injections and turn into your old self, then you can stay as long as you'd like.

I will post the link here to Tim Sullivan's article in which Tom Meeker and Bill Stone as well as Petrino and Tyra are quoted.

The ULAA now has only about $8m.

Former #Louisville star Jerry Eaves on his radio show today: "We're looking at the death penalty. No question about it." (Personally, I doubt the #NCAA will impose it again, but I can't rule it out.)

9:22 AM - 5 Oct 2018


Just don't understand how a homegrown once loved local player for U of L has turned into one of the most disgruntled person towards his own school.

this week's Sagarin numbers have us a 'dawg in 5 of our remaining 6 games. WF is a 'pick em.

What you may not know is we are a 13 or more point 'dawg in the other 5. Based on historic spread results this projects out to 1 more win. IOW, a 3-9 season. I wish I could say this was all just bad luck but.....

I think a successful season has now become beating UK as a likely 15 point 'dawg.

Peace

13.5/14 point 'dawg to BC. It's gonna be a very tough year.

Peace

...about a fix to a problem, athletics related anyway.

• "Anyone's better than Grantham."
  
• "We need to get Mike Summers back to fix our O-line."
  
• "Anyone's better than Peter Sirmon."
  
• "Can't wait to get back to playing 'Bobby Ball'."

Someone please remind me of these recent examples--just in football--when I start discussing solutions to our problems on the field or court. It's so much wasted effort...

Brohm's, Mack's, and Petrino's contracts.

Two buyouts each: termination without cause and resignation (presumably for a better job).

The magnitudes and durations of the three contract are/were very similar, nominally $4 million per year in the first year and running seven years.

The buyout for termination without cause is money paid to the respective coach, and the institution wants that number to be as low as possible. Here's how the contracts compare...


Mack's and Petrino's contracts are identical on this measure. Brohm's is more costly to Purdue if he's fired in the early years (0-4). If Jurich is legitimately one of the best ADs in history--write this down Tyra fans--the current AD did a good job with this particular buyout for Chris Mack.

The other buyout is money that has to be paid to the institution if one of these coaches takes a job elsewhere. Conversely, you want this buyout to be higher to discourage another school from hiring away your coach...


Petrino's buyout is clearly higher if Jurich had remained at U of L which everyone in 2016 certainly believed would happen. Mack's is next best, and Brohm's is significantly worse. Whoever the Purdue AD is, he needs to pay U of L a visit to learn how to negotiate better contracts.

These numbers are a little difficult to find in one place, but I believe them to be accurate. If anyone wants to discuss the sources and has what you think is conflicting info, let us know. I rounded figures to the nearest million or so in order to keep the math simple, and what's a few hundred thousand among friends anyway?...

The National Institutes of Health has awarded a team of researchers at the University of Louisville with more than $16.4 million to study how various environmental factors affect the "development or health impacts of diabetes and obesity," according to the school.

A handful of researchers at UofL’s Diabetes and Obesity Center will benefit from the funding to study things like the metabolic and inflammatory mechanisms leading to diabetes, obesity and insulin resistance; stem cell biology; and the environmental determinants of cardiometabolic disease.

Certainly good news!
