My assistant coach (wife) and I saw several BU games last year. They’ll be fine when they learn to play without Hall. That kid was the motor. He was a playa.

And Seedy, go see them this winter. Good show at a great price.

1. Kent State = Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth.
2. I suppose I could live with Coach Cut here. Crap, if he can win at Duke he can’t be so bad.

Well, I guess Bag Krag is dead, as in Deadspin.com.

26-19 straight up or 26-19 against the spread. Big difference, Seedy K….Which is it?

Coming from a big Bellarmine fan…

I attended the game and, needless to say, was quite disappointed. I can understand a bad shooting night, but the way they played tentatively and folded was like watching one of those dreadful post-Valvano and pre-Davenport teams. I expected much more, particularly given that less-talented BU teams have played U of L very closely.

As you note, not having Chartrael to “quaterback” and create is a big problem. Also the fact that the Knights have a couple of inside players injured and riding pine made things much worse.

I do think people get too caught up in the whole “they’re just Division II” thing. BU basically has a low D-I program, and hats off to the ‘Ville for a good win. I think your Cards are going to be better than a lot of the pundits expect.

All that said, I’m confident Scotty and the boys will bounce back. They should beat K-State this weekend and hopefully will give Cincinnati a good game next week. Go Knights!

Observations from high above press row: Edgar Sosa can’t even give up the BALL on a fast break, let alone leadership of the team. But as the season goes on, it will be tough to keep Siva on the bench. I thought the starting line-up with three guards and two bigs was very effective. I too thought there was significant improvement in just one week. I am not as in love with Samardo as some. Taking it off the glass, coming down, taking a dribble is a big flaw. When a 6′8′ guy does that, he becomes 5′10″. Finally, I really think these guys can be very, very good come Feb-March. I will always hold on to my point of reference: I remember the first two games in late ‘79 watching Griff, Derrick, Eaves, Rodney et al. They were awful.

Wait till Brian Kelly moves on to a bigger program. Then the Bearcats will drop just as fast as the Cardinals did when Bobby P. left.

Crazier things have happened, but if Tommy Turtleneck retains Krags next year the athletic dept. will have to give tickets to school kids in hopes they show up. Then, he and Klein, could tell ESPN, if we had a televised game, every game is a Red Out due to all the empty seats…

I blame the empty seats more on a protest against Kragthorpe than the timing of the game and Halloween. Certainly he is more scary.
