I may be a little late to seeing this, but that’s what I get for being in the 1% of the population that does not have Instagram. Could be an accurate number, I really don’t know. Just seems that way. Chane Behanan posted this on Thursday night with an interesting message. Good to see that…
Fans’ Starting 5 Jeremy’s Starting 5 Steve’s Starting 5 Daryl’s Starting 5 After thinking about it for a few days, I finally made my votes on the poll. I checked up on the results as the week went on, just to get a feel for how everyone else was voting. That clearly didn’t influence my…
Fans’ Starting 5 Jeremy’s Starting 5 Steve’s Starting 5 Justin’s Starting 5 Point Guard Now this wasn’t an easy choice for me. I’ve always been a ‘guard kind of gal’…if that’s a thing.

According to Scout.com’s Jason Higdon, Clint Hurtt has left Louisville. There is talk that it could be for an NFL job. We hoped for Hurtt to remain on staff because we know how he can recruit (when allowed to), but now Petrino can bring in his own guy, so it will be fine. We already…
