The ACC Celebration happening at Fourth Street Live! was scheduled to start at 5 pm. Because of the World Cup match involving the U.S. Men’s National Team, the event probably won’t start until around 6, when the match is over.
It is finally here! July 1, 2014. The University of Louisville is an official member of the Atlantic Coast Conference! Not the Big East. Not the American Athletic Conference. This is the ACC! Back in November of 2012, it was announced that this move would happen. The date seemed so far away. We would have…
He has done it again. @CrumsRevenge from thecrunchzone.com has made just another incredible video. This one is a tribute to all the teams, coaches, and players at UofL. Try to watch it and not get filled with some kind of emotion. It can’t happen if you are a fan of the Cards. I love it!
Here are a couple videos with coaches from the ACC discussing Louisville coming into the conference. Pretty cool to hear their opinions on it. It’s almost here!

In his first Tri State Classic appearance this weekend, Louisville recruit Isaiah Briscoe put up 61 points in a game.

It was a long night for Cards fans watching the draft, but it finally paid off. With the 47th pick in the draft, the Philadelphia 76ers picked Russ Smith. Before that moment could sink in, Russ was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans. This puts Russ on the same team as former Kentucky Wildcats Anthony…
It is always a good insight into the team when former players (weird to type that about Russ) chime in about the current team. Russ Smith has made a couple of predictions on twitter in the last day or so regarding the Cards and a couple members of the backcourt. Collect and save this tweet…

Slots are filling up for Rajon Rondo’s 2014 basketball camp. Now if you ask why I would post something about a camp for a former Kentucky player, I will say this: I don’t even look at Rondo as a former Wildcat. He is from Louisville, wanted to play at Louisville, and still is in town…
