    “We’ll Be Ready If The NBA Is Ever Ready For Us” - Dan Issel

    Completely agree with this. It absolutely should be the Louisville something or others. I've heard Distillers. Not sure I love that, but it's certainly unique and very much in keeping with the culture of the town and the bourbon boom.

    Exercise Patience for Coach Mack Year One

    No judgement after the first season. But we need to make the final 4 by his 3rd season. no final 4 by season 3 and this poster is going to be grumpy and vocal.

    If Padgett wins at Notre Dame

    In other words, you should take a katana to your abdomen, Samurai style. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

    Time for Professional Basketball in Louisville?

    Oh and by the way, we're calling our pro team " The Louisville (whatever's)". Not the Kentucky whatever's. We r not sharing. Because let's be honest. A pro sport team not coming for Kentucky. It would come for Louisville.

    Time for Professional Basketball in Louisville?

    Nashville's property taxes have risen because property values have soared. You have to pay more taxes on a home when its value doubles in 10 years. The old guard in Nashville was really good about promoting growth. They recognized the benefits. Brought in the preds, then the titans. The...

    Time for Professional Basketball in Louisville?

    Do the cities actually pay for the franchise? You're absolutely right, I have no idea what kind of costs go into bringing a professional sports team to a city. But it seems to me that we already built this huge pro sports arena, and now that arena is going to take a hit, which it probably...

    Time for Professional Basketball in Louisville?

    No offense taken, zipp! I'm 37. So close. I would never want any kind of professional team to encroach on my Cards, but I just don't fear that. The city will always support the Cards no matter what. I think we could support an NBA team as well. I'd love to see UL get out of yum! and build...

    Time for Professional Basketball in Louisville?

    That's just ridiculous. I love UofL, and I'm probably not "young" anymore. I think an NBA team in Louisville would be great. The timing is right for this city to be a big boy now and get a professional team. Would love NHL as well.

    Vegas Odds for Next Coach

    i have always wanted hoiberg. i think he'd be great. just because you don't have success in the nba, does not mean you won't have great success in college. completely different games.

    The Thrill is gone

    LJ is great, and he was completely underutilized. Very head scratching play calling offensively. Coaches have to face it. LJ is not going to win games with his arm. He is going to win games with his legs. He is a capable passer but that's about it, and it's only after honoring the threat of...

    Where's the Grantham haters now?

    It's funny because I have a good friend that is a huge Miss St fan and booster. He is psyched about getting Grantham and even happier to be rid of Sirmon. Perhaps the grass is always greener, but he felt Petrino should have been able to get a better d coordinator

    Uniforms This year, are they changing?

    But here's the deal. Louisville is not a football brand / blue blood with an iconic look like the "big boys" you mentioned above. And that's ok!! We shouldn't try to be something we're not. And since we're not tied down to an iconic look, that gives us room to sport new and different looks...

    Dejuan Wheat

    the man could shoot the 3! also one of my all time favs during a time when UL bball had seen better days, when we lived in a kind of basketball purgatory, this guy was still really fun to watch.
