Football: 2013 opponents released
By Justin Renck:
Well it isn’t quite the ACC just yet! The 2013 football schedule for the Cards is not very attractive when it comes to marquee matchups. My attitude, however, is always that I go to watch the Cards, no matter who the other team is. Yes, it will be nice when we get to play better teams, but I will still enjoy watching the Sugar Bowl champions this season. There is still no reason that people should not be there to watch possibly the best quarterback in UofL history. With that said, here is the list of opponents for 2013. (There could still possibly be a big-time non-conference game instead of one of these, but nothing official yet.)

Louisville is in the ACC!!!
By Justin Renck:
FINALLY!!! It is a celebration and also a sigh of relief! The sigh of relief is because of what we are getting out of, and the celebration is because of what we are getting into!
Now I am not going to get into too many facts like TV ratings, conference votes, and all of that stuff. Just going to give my opinion on the situation.
