Time for a Taylor-Made Beat Down
Posted by frankpos on September 23, 2008
Yes, it’s finally time.
Any slightly frenzied Card fan knows of which I speak: It’s time for Unfair Catch UCONN !
The SOB that got away with that play –Larry Taylor– has very unfortunately graduated into the well hidden north waste lands of Canadian football, no doubt “messing” with other ref’s minds.
I can only hope a moose in heat messes with Mr. Taylor at some point in his sojourn up yonder…
In the meantime, there is a game to play…and some business left unfinished.
After all: It wasn’t just Taylor celebrating this obvious missed call. His teammates, the UCONN fans– heck, even his coach congratulated him–and gave him the game ball, I believe (although I’m a bit fuzzy on this “fact”, which is not going to slow me or any Card fan down at this point.)
Tom Heiser at the C-J seems to understand the visceral feelings some Card fans have concerning this. Hey, we want to rock SOMEONE’S socks! http://www.courier-journal.com/blogs/cjcardsfan/blog.html
Of course, our coaches and team are taking the high road in pre-game interviews. That Taylor thing is all in the past, the play really didn’t cost us the game, this is an important conference match-up, yada, yada…
That’s all very true and good.
But…
Do YOU want some “proper” revenge on UCONN?

Sonja, Invoking the Klingons in times of battle–always a wise choice. ; – )
Shannon, Thanks for dropping by again , man. Boo was indeed a hoot– made the Ryder Cup for me, along with of course our home-grown boys showing off.
Danny, I understand where you coming from. I see it both ways — frankly the old school part of me “hit the next batter, after the home run” — which I of course was taught to do in the old days…
Zoka, and others– thanks for the kind comments on the game photos. We will have more in the future.

There is an old Klingon adage that coach Kragthorpe would be well served to follow as the Cards take the field against UConn:
YAK DO GOK TOW KEEN DA
What does it mean? I have no earthly clue, but it would be neat to hear Kragthorpe bellow it shortly before the Cards take the field. Maybe it could replace that woeful Cards cheer the hoarse cheerleader tries to get going during the pregame.
(Thanks to my cousin Bob for the Klingon reference idea.)
Make it so, Krag.

It would be great to see everyone just get over it. I’d rather get ‘revenge’ on Syracuse. The REAL game that killed our bowl chances.
