A Serious Question

So I know that this is probably not the best time to ask a question like this, especially after that debacle yesterday. What finishing record would you be content  with to consider this football season a success. Be real here no matter how you feel about Kragthorpe, and back up your vote with reason. Personally I would consider a 7-5 record a success. Due to all the key losses we took at key positions last year. This is Kragthorpes second year building the team up to what he thinks it should be (whatever that is). Next year I demand results at least an 8-4 season as his recruits will be the majority of the team. This I believe is Kragthorpes last freebie year. The remaining schedule looks like this: 

Nov 8 @ Pitt (likely loss)

Nov 14 Cincy (likely loss)

Nov 22 WVU (likely loss)

Dec 4 @ Rutgers (likely win)

Realistically it looks like we finish 6-6 again with our only victory coming at Rutgers so to finish at 7-5 and go bowling we need another upset in my book. I just hope we can do it.

The New Guy

Just dropping a few lines to introduce myself, my name is Anthony Sayre originally from Louisville, Kentucky. I have been serving in the USAF for eight years now and I have been stationed at Barksdale AFB, Louisiana. Currently I am deployed to FOB Kalsu, Iraq for OIF but after a year over in the sandbox I will be returning to the States in December. I have been a Louisville football fan for as long as I can remember back to the glory days playing in the original Cardinal Stadium at the fairgrounds. I have been to a couple of home games when I have come home on leave, and was even able to experience our victory in person at the Orange Bowl in ’07. I know I am going to catch slack for this but I am also a huge Kentucky Basketball fan. Anyways I look forward to posting with you guys. GO CARDS!!!
