By Justin Renck: Check out this hilarious video! Kris Humphries was about to shoot a free throw and the ref noticed a sub was about to enter the game. Rather than just blowing his whistle or yelling for Humphries to not shoot the ball, the ref decides to take matters into his own hands!
By Justin Renck: Here is another story that is not UofL related, but still worth posting… Apparently, new Cincinnati head coach Tommy Tuberville made an interesting exit from Texas Tech.

By Justin Renck: With the big game this Saturday between Louisville and Memphis, I thought it was important to revisit some of the more memorable games from the rivalry. Well, the game from March 1, 1986 is a special one to me, and I wasn’t even born yet. Here is the story…
