Kentucky Redneck

Cardinal — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:48:14 -0400

Two boys are playing football in Jeffersonville, IN when one is attacked by a rabid rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy rips a big board off of a nearby fence, wedges it down the dog's collar, and twists it, breaking the dog's neck.

A reporter was strolling by, sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy. "Young Louisville Cardinal Fan Rescues Friend From Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook.

"But I'm not a Cardinal fan," the little hero replies.

UofL's Strong a thorn in FSU's Side

Cardinal — Sat, 01 May 2010 12:38:09 -0400

Per The Orlando Sentinel:

Head coach Charlie Strong, the former Florida Gators defensive coordinator who is in his first year as head coach at Louisville, remains a thorn in the side of Gators’ rival Florida State.

On Thursday, Strong got a commitment from defensive end Deiontrez Mount (6-6, 215) from Fort Walton Beach. Mount also had offers from FSU, South Carolina, Minnesota, Iowa State, North Carolina and Wisconsin.

Bracketology Implications

Cardinal — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 07:35:23 -0500

After whipping the Cuse, Louisivlle is certainly a lock for the tournament. The problem I see is that we probably worked our way right now to a 8 or 9 seed. I hate knowing we'd have to play the 1 on the first weekend. We clearly can win (see WSYR TV Syracuse -- on a related note, I wonder if Syracuse has considered just forfeiting their games against us to save the travel expenses and humiliation). Nevertheless, I'd much rather be a 10 than a 9 or 8.

New Arena Shape

Cardinal — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:31:24 -0500

I just drove by the new arena for the first time in a couple weeks and it's looking good. From the south it still looks like a big work in progress but from the north it is beautiful. There's a huge curved glass wall bulging out toward the interstate and along the east side they have a glass wall up that spans the length of the building. With all the talk of tomorrow's Freedom Hall Finale I hadn't really though about how cool it will be to play in a state-of-the-art downtown arena. 240 more days.
