It's officially the slowest sports news day of the year, so why not turn back the clock? Do you guys realize that it was 10 years ago yesterday that Bobby Petrino signed a 10 year contract extension with Louisville?

Back then, I remember thinking the timing of the announcement was a stroke of genius by UofL, Jurich and Petrino. The day after the All-Star game with nothing else happening, UofL and Petrino's announcement was the top story on ESPN that day.

Crazy to think its already been 10 years. Part of me feels like it was just yesterday. Then, I remember the CSK era and the efforts Strong had to make to get us back to respectable, and it seems like a lifetime ago.

We've added an Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, a few conference titles and moved to the ACC in that time.
