National Championship Day

I have learned to enjoy and appreciate UL WVB as much as any UL sport. It is amazing that our one sport, which is undeniably the most successful over these last 4 years, receives the least amount of media exposure by UL, in terms of radio and TV. There have been games that were not only unavailable locally live, the scores were only reported on ESPN’s website. This school needs to treat our WVB Team the same way Nebraska treats their WVB Program.

The Anna DeBeer and Elena Scott story reminds me of Griffith and Turner (prior to Bobby leaving prematurely) …..Go Lady Cards!!!
If WVB were now a BIG revenue sport it would receive pretty appropriate attention. But it's not. So it doesn't.

WVB is a nascent supersport.
Pro leagues are in their early phases.

Only about 6-8 schools have super WVB history. Louisville is developing under DBK.

We should be so proud and so supportive.

National Championship Day

I don't know what to say other than .. Oh My! What Excitement!

The rarest of days and opportunities for UofL team sports.

I will be there. As will Mrs Guardman and Guardman Jr.

Win or lose, what a season for DBK and all the seniors!

Tune in to ABC if you can't get there. National ABC at 3pm.

Good Luck to both teams, but a little more good luck for our Cardinals.

Special shout-outs to Anna DeBeer, Elena Scott, Charitie Luper !

And a personal favorite Cara Cresse.

You Go Girls!

Play for yourselves, your family, the team, your coach, the league and the city.

Have the finest day you've ever known.

Go C A R D S !!

Now that's what we needed

I am disappointed that we can't seem to get more than 1 shot attempt from Scott and Rooths was MIA.
Rooths got 14 minutes yesterday and produced 1 rebound and zero points. Seems like he doesn't get to stay in the game long enough to get in the flow. Seems like he just gets a couple minutes here and there. After the Duke game I figured his minutes would increase, especially with our short roster.. Guess Kelsey has his reasons but I'd be curious to know what they are..

IU-Notre Dame

I agree and that's why I had every home team in a cold environment in my parlay bets. (Still lost by one leg due to Clemson)

SMU and Tennessee both had no chance in sub 20 degree temps and especially Jennings with SMU. He looked like he was in sand on the field and his early throws had no zip.

Maybe now southern schools will play some games up north in November if possible. These northern schools have a huge advantage in the first round of the new playoff format.

Texas by the way looked very good as they looked like Louisville running the ball against Clemson.

This was a big win as far as the development of this team. FSU had the right gameplan at the beginning by concentrating on Chucky. They know or felt like he was our kryptonite but Edwards and Reyne stepped up big time. Chucky just can't get overaggressive on defense and get in foul trouble. Hopefully Traore can help with that. I am disappointed that we can't seem to get more than 1 shot attempt from Scott and Rooths was MIA.

IU-Notre Dame

What could go wrong; the Committee sending team from Dallas TX to play its biggest game in decades, on a freezing-cold field, inside a sold out PSU stadium?

I am not trying to make excuses for Jennings or SMU, nor do I want to distract from PSU’s performance ……… however, anyone who watched SMU, and specifically Jennings this season could see they were not prepared for either the temperature or the deafening crowd noise. Jennings’ performance was so uncharacteristic of his season’s success, that neither his coaches, teammates or fans could explain his complete meltdown. Those two pick 6 interceptions were as much about poor judgement as it was about poor execution; they were so bad it looked as intentional.

Now that's what we needed

It looks like Edwards has settled in. He is playing at a good pace which he wasn’t early in the year.

They run really good stuff and take advantage of switches which forces double teams in post which leads to open shooters.
It is a different way to use the paint touches.

Defense is an issue. They may have issues in some games. But they play hard.

Judging from the score

SMU always played fast and what do they do yesterday play slow. There 1st driver the played fast and Penn St looked like Louisville. The Jennings threw a terrible pass that was an easy throw, from my couch, for an easy TD. Then the pick sixes that were as bad as the missed TD.

Consistent pressure on a QB makes most of them average to bad. Penn St dominated them up front. Pretty much the story for this 1st round. The better fronts dominated.
