Van Treese and Goode must take over Buckles minutes!!!

I have to give credit to a much improved USF team that we had to grind out a win against today!  This team is pretty tough this year!  They are a very large team with a few lights out athletes who can score quickly.  Fortunately for us they are young and don't quite have the depth to compete the full game!  It took us all the way down to the final 5:00 of the game before we wore them down enough to pull away and safely get the W!  MVP without a doubt goes to Stephen Van Treese who finished with 12 points and 14 rebounds.  We will need play like this out of him on a consistent basis until we get Rakeem Buckles back(4 or so weeks).  Go Win! Go Cards!!!

Playoff Time!!!

Alright, here we go! It's that time of year again when we all get a little bummed that the NFL regular season has ended.  However the most exciting part of the season is still to come because we get to watch the NFL's best slug it out it what should be a wild playoff season!  Now that my Packers have made it in I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing I have at least one more week to pull for my dudes!  However the big story of the week belongs to the NFC West Champion Seattle Seahawks who won their division with an whopping(haha) record of 7-9.  What makes it even worse is the fact that there are two 10 win teams who were left out of the playoffs(TB/NYG).  Regardless I must give a congrats shout out to Seattle for their win, I guess.  Either way lets enjoy an awesome end of the NFL season and hope to get some great games leading up to the super bowl!  Here are my predictions for week 1 of the playoffs:

Baltimore* vs KC
Jets vs *Colts
Saints* vs Seattle
Packers* vs Eagles
*winning team

Here we go again!!!

An old school crash course for those of you who don't know!!!

We upset Butler 88-73 in YUM Center opener!!!

I will be honest with you, going into this game I was pretty uncertain on not only how we would perform in this game but also how this whole season will unfold.  I mean after losing our top recruit to UK and our 2nd best recruit to grades we were left with the smallest incoming class I can ever remember us having.  So my first thought of this season was that we would be lacking our usual depth on the team.  Well, it turns out that I was wrong about that, thankfully!  Turns out we played with better depth and more as a team in this season opener than we did all of last year!  The stand out player of the game was Rakeem Buckles who I said all last year would end up being our new Earl Clark!  Elisha Justice was the most impressive freshman of the night looking very comfortable running point especially in the late minutes.  Bottom line is we are young an inexperienced but there is clearly something special about this group.  They play with a spark and seem too work well together.  Lets hope there is more to come of this for the rest of the 2010-11.  Go Cards!!!

New Season, New Era!

We are just a few hours away from tip off of the 2010-11 University of Louisville Men's Basketball season and more importantly the historic first game ever at our brand new downtown Yum Center arena!  Prime time espn coverage begins @ 5pm pst/8pm est where the Cards will take on 17th ranked Butler who was the runner up in last years NCAA  tourney.  Go Cards!

Congrats!

As we say goodbye to the 2010 MLB season I have to give it up to the San Francisco Giants!  As much as I may hate them and as much as this hurts to say, I have to congratulate them on their MLB championship.  They for sure deserve it for blowing out the Texas Rangers who didn't even show up to play.  The Giants pitching in this World Series was unbelievable and the key to their victory.  It was a great season and can't wait for next year!
