5 Things: Cardinal Basketball Moving Forward

How Sides Are Chosen: Blue or Red
I was standing at my best friends house the other day, enjoying bourbon and the smell of a grill. A bright eyed little two year old playing on his swing laughing and high fivin’ on each return swing as his dad and I talked hoops…and then it began. In mid swing, that smiling little boy [...]
Five thoughts about Cards football today and tomorrow
1. Teddy Bridgewater is for real True This young freshman had an ok season stats wise. He threw for over 2100 yds and 14tds with 12 ints.

Thoughts on Red/White Scrimmage
Saturday night, Pitino and the Cards held an open scrimmage.

Air Force flying to the Big East?
Air Force AD Hans Mueh, speaking with the Denver Post, stated it has been approached by the Big 12 and has denied its advances. Mueh, speaking honestly, stated “In the Big 12, geography makes sense, the economics make sense, but recruiting makes no sense for us. I can’t recruit against Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State”.

Five thoughts on how realignment could affect UofL
1. SEC would be a great fit: Not for UL or UK Joining the SEC sounds prestigious but this would not work for the SEC or Louisville. As far as the SEC goes, something tells me there is a little blue birdie in the ear of SEC commissioner that has already nixed the idea. Kentucky [...]

1. The Cardinals Stink: True. This team is bad, how bad? Ron Cooper bad? Not quite going to go down that road, yet. This is a team that is going to grind out 3 wins this year…I don’t know how but there are enough home games against weak teams that something good is bound to happen, [...]
