According to Fox Sports' Jeff Goodman.

Louisville assistant coach Richard Pitino is headed to Gainesville to join Billy Donovan's staff at Florida.
According to sources close to the situation, Pitino — the son of Louisville coach Rick Pitino — will leave his father's program.

The elder Pitino coached Donovan back at Providence.

An official announcement could come as early as Monday.

I'm a UL and a UF Fan (mostly lurk on AA). Anyways I didn't see a post about this and thought I would share. Little Rick is a great recruiter. I hope he does well to help bring Florida back up.

Anyone know where I can find a high def version of the AZ game?

I would like to add it to my dvd collection. This team was great, I'd like to remember them by the game that really showed their potential. Thanks.

Coach K said not to overlook a good (although its a stretch) Syracuse team. If our coach says the team is terrible the team will prepare and play like the team is terrible.The team came out flat for a team that they should not have underestimated. Yes Syracuse is not the best team, but they are a team that can did beat us.

Oh and that last play of the game was for sure pass interference. Impeding a receivers route is considered pass interference.

GO CARDS! I still love you even though you make me feel like shit sometimes.

Anyone notice in the new polls....

Louisville got 9 votes from the coaches to be in the top 25 and recieved 15 votes from the AP.

I didn't think I was going to see our name back in the top 25 mix for a while, before this season began. Big kudos to the team and coaching staff. You can really tell the team has alot of heart this year.

I'm going to try to keep myself emotionally stable, just incase, but please please cardbaby don't let this success stop.

GO CARDS!!!!

So what's your thoughts of the Kansas St. game?

Well without our fearless leader (Mike) able to log on to give us his review, I'm interested to hear how the rest of you feel about tonights game?

I guess I will start. I feel much better about this season. This was far from a perfect performance but I saw some very BRIGHT spots that could be our future. The way our offense clicked tonight compared to the UK game seemed night and day. Hunter seemed much more relaxed in the pocket and had more touch on the ball (as compared to throwing it as hard as possible on every throw).

Running Backs:

Do I really even need to go over this? I love Bolen's want to run over people. I saw multiple times when he was running down the sidelines and instead of stepping out to end the play, he would lower his shoulder and run the DB over for a few extra yards. I don't think I need to say much about Vic. He is a star in the making. His 2nd effort on every play makes me giggle like a school girl. Much like Morano at Georgia, Anderson fights and scraps and moves piles of linemen to get every extra inch of yardage.

Recievers/QB:

Looked much better tonight. Chichester missed some easy catches but we all knew that he was still becoming more coordinated. If he continues to improve at his current rate he will be a major factor in our arsenal. Doug B. also had an exceptional game. He reminds me of a Douglas how just slithers his way between coverages to get open. Hunter looked good most of the night. Much more comfortable and had more touch on his passes.

Offensive line:

Created great holes to run through. Big thumbs up to the guys who stepped it up to replace our injured starters. Great job.

Deffense:

90% of the game we looked dangerous. I truly believe now that English has changed this defense 360 degrees. Towards the end of the game it got sloppy and a few plays inbetween. We just need to keep getting better. I'd like to see some more sacks/knock downs of the QB but that will come. LB's look very good for being so inexperienced. They bite on a few plays that left either a reciever or TE open, but overall it was a good night.

Kicking game:

I don't even want to talk about this. I hate to rag on one of our players, but missing a PAT? Come on man. Your playing for a BCS team, there is no excuse for this.

Overall:

There is a chance I think. I'm not going to be putting any money down on it, but I think we saw a glimpse of what our team can be. Just keep building guys and who knows that can happen, the college football season has already been pretty crazy.

Fanbase:

Still piss poor. Way to many people leaving at the end of the 3rd quarter. If you didn't come to watch 4 quarters of football, keep your ass at home.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

So after our first real test (In my opinion), I'd like to hear what the others on here though about tonight's game? Still feel the same as you did leaving the Kentucky game? Bowl chances this year? How our team will end up in the Big East? Let's hear it.

Who is ready for football???

Civicman86 — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 03:53:18 -0000

Man I am so ready, I just bought NCAA college football 08, and I am getting hyped!!! I don't even care that the cards most likely (hey never say never) won't be as good as two seasons ago. I'm ready to kick it with friends hours before the game, drinking some beer and playing some cornhole. I'm ready to sit at home or at a friends house on saturday nights (when the cards arent playing of course) and watch college football in high def. There is no sweeter time for me in the calendar year.

So who is with me? Who is ready for college football season?

Top College football entrances...

Civicman86 — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 02:44:32 -0000

I was looking around and found this site with a top ten lineup of college entrances. I must say the hookies get really pumped. I wish our fans did something crazy like that. The energy gives me goose bumps...Anyways I'm getting hyped again for next year even though I know I shouldn't be. I just can't help it, I LOVE college football

Some good news after a hard b-ball loss today...

http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/10553500

WOOHOO!! I'm starting to see the boat finally start to upright again. Might not be championship contender next year but in the next couple years I can see us at the top of our game again.

Go Cards!!!

Mario Point shaving?!?!

Anyone else heard this rumor? I have heard it from a friend and have read about it on the internet. I have also heard the FBI is involved in the investigation. I really hope its not true but a couple things make me believe it might be. One being his total change in performance from last year to this year. And his turf toe that has been a problem for a few weeks now (many players fight turf toe but still play some).

Today game...

Civicman86 — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 02:09:48 -0000

Well I don't have ESPNU but I did listen to the entire game on the radio. It sounds like our defense really buckled down this week. I know its not the toughest team we will play but any signs of improvement give me some hope. Maybe the move from coach K to open up pretty much all spots to anyone, maybe the players feel they need to play better? With the Scott Long starting instead of Mario, maybe they all feel like they need to start to protect there starting position? Whatever it is I hope we can keep it up.

So for those of you who watched, did it look like we were playing with some intensity?? After watching the USF/WV game, we need to really step up the intensity level.

On another note looks like USF might have a good chance at winning the Big E this year, especially with the fall of Rutgers today. Only time will tell. I'm just glad the Big E has so many teams in the top 25.

Go Cards.
