On Hunter and Da Ville

Boy, college football makes this a lot easier. A shitty Louisville team makes this fun. I will post ten times a day if they keep sucking like this.

Train, you're loyal; that's what I like about you. Honestly, though, Hunter Cantwell looks bad. Really, really bad. Like, kind of clueless and scared bad. I'm not going to start blathering about how bad he sucks after one game, however; even I am not that pre-judg...mental...? Is that a word? Anyway, did no one see this coming?

OK, let's assume he sucks. Well, he does kind of suck...but let's assume he sucks for the rest of the season. Now, think about Cantwell. He came out of Tilghman, Brooks pulled his scholly, and he walked on for the Cards. He had some big games--under Petrino--and he has a big arm. However, he really had zero experience, and people starting christening him as the best returning QB in the country. And not just the psychotic fringe of shitheads on ITV--like Mel fucking Kiper and Todd McShay. How are they so wrong?

I guess the answer is: they're not. Hunter is a talented QB, with good size and strength. Unfortunately, he is surrounded by zero experienced receivers, and his draft status will likely suffer. It will truly be interesting to see how his season turns out.

Oh, and for the record, I have always been skeptical of Cantwell's abilities. We'll see what he can do, I guess.

As for the Cards, I will say that this fall was inevitable. It doesn't happen often where the top HS school player in the country comes out of your hometown--for UL, two of the best were in the same class...I think...maybe it was consecutive years, but you get the point. That, coupled with Petrino, equals lightning in a bottle. I (don't) hate to say it, but that's never coming back.

I think JuJuan Spillman and all of the other Card castoffs should form their own team. They'd probably need Burt Reynolds and Adam Sandler around ala that shitty prison football movie.

Hunter looked completely lost on Sunday agreed. However, when needed he played well (against the U, and K-State) I also think he played admirably against V-Tech in the Gator Bowl where he was on his back more than Tia Tequilla.

The retarded thing about the NFL is they draft almost exclusively on 40 times, quad thrusts, arm strength, etc. That greaser Kiper loves him for some reason. Did Brooks really pull his scholly or was he just not offered? Or did Duke law tell you that?

To make matters worse in the 'Ville, football recruiting is a disaster. There is no reason UK should be out-recruiting UL as a whole, but especially in Jeff county. But that's exactly what's happening, I think you can thank Joker more than Brooksie imo.

UL needs krags to resign after he loses to Tenn Tech next week and either hire English or Charlie Strong as head coach. End of story.

A very pissed off Train

^When everyone hated Brooks, a popular knock was saying that he pulled Cantwell's scholly that Guy Morriss had offered. Might not be true.

Cantwell gave an interview where he said he had no scholly's anywhere, not even DII.
