When University of Louisville track and field head coach Ron Mann walked into Beijing National Stadium, he found 90,000 people staring back at him.
Mann, who served as the men's middle distance coach for Team USA at the Olympics this past summer, was near the front row of the Team USA contingent as they walked into the stadium - better known as the Bird's Nest - at the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Olympic games.

Although he spent most of his time as the assistant coach for the Romanian swim team, Arthur Albiero, University of Louisville swimming and diving coach, simply couldn't pass up the numerous tourist destinations that China had to offer.
"Certainly, if you like athletics I don't know if there's a better place to be than the Olympics," Albiero said. "But the culture of China is something I didn't know a lot about going into it, but I certainly came back much more intrigued. Everything I learned is very different than what we're used to."

Offensive units for both the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky have some catching up to do with their defensive counterparts.

Neither side produced plays worthy of the highlight reels, as both units failed to produce many yards or convert on third downs.  The two teams combined for 415 yards, 210 for UK and 205 for U of L, and were a total of 9-32 on third down conversions.
