Baseball players make first team Big East The University of Louisville baseball is already off to a positive start, even before actual play has started. The baseball team was picked to finish third in Big East play, and has three infielders on the preseason team.
There will be a sharp contrast in Louisville during this year's celebration of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. As usual local politicians, multicultural organizations and civil rights activists have prepared a variety of polished and pristine events to further drain King's legacy.
Well it happened again. The University of "We think we are far superior than you are because of our tradition" (as the almighty King of Smack Jim Rome would say), Notre Dame, was handed a BCS Bowl bid and $14 million plus. But once again they dropped the ball, getting embarrassed 41-14 by LSU in the Sugar Bowl Wednesday night.
The University of Louisville Cardinals made their first trip to a major BCS Bowl game and were victorious after defeating the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 24-13 in the FedEx Orange Bowl.

Bobby Petrino resigned Sun., Jan. 7, as the head football coach from the University of Louisville, opting to take a new job as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Petrino left, more than likely favoring the higher pay, larger prestige and fame that comes along with being a coach in the NFL.
The new year promises more policies, procedures, politics and propaganda that will fuel the fodder of discourse. Gay marriage will undoubtedly be at the top of that list, especially as statistics show that one out of every tenth person is gay.
