Never should have used "vici" as in "I conquered" in any contest including Krapthorpe. Wonder what the Latin word is for "I have doomed UofL football." Oops. Never should have used “vici” as in “I conquered” in any contest including Krapthorpe.

Wonder what the Latin word is for “I have doomed UofL football.”

This is what the Tulsa web site said about him: Kragthorpe has posted a 21-17 three-year record at Tulsa. Since his arrival, Hurricane football has been high-powered on offense and opportunistic on the defensive side of the ball. In 38 games as head coach, his teams have scored over 30 points 23 times and in those games has a 19-4 record. In his 21 total victories as the Tulsa head coach his team's have averaged 39.5 points in those games. Does that seem like what we wanted after an Orange Bowl season? A guy whose record is barely over .500 in a mediocre, well, let's say mid-level, conference. I see nothing that we make me run out and hire this guy in a few days with no other search. Second, after running off the "bad apples" which is a vague term and I'm not sure who they are or what they did. Third, the he ran off every Brohm associated with the football program. He as failed to recruit Big East level talent, or very much of it anyway. The only other person to blame and run off is the Unitas statue...then what. I'm not sure of the committment Jurich made but I truly hope he doesn't mean what he says when he calls Kragthorpe "his guy" Thanks for letting me vent, CD I know it’s water under the bridge but for the life of me I can’t understand why the guy was ever hired.
