On Flying Too Close to the Sun

On Flying Too Close to the Sun

"Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son, Icarus. Before they took off, Daedalus warned his son not to fly too close to the sun.

But ecstatic with the ability to fly like the gods, Icarus disregarded his father’s warnings,

and flew higher and higher,

until the heat of the sun began to melt the wax in his wings, and he fell into the sea."

From the Greek Myth....

How Bad Do YOU Want It ?

How Bad Do YOU Want It ?

23 years.

It’s now been 23 years since our last national title, with Never Nervous, Milt, Billy T and the guys.

23 years!!!

I’m ready. God, I’m ready.

OK, I’ll say it: I want one more before I die.

Jesus, I never thought I would have to say that…

Sweet ! Now, Some Indy Road -Tripping to the Final Four

OK, we get it.

You want to be loose, you want to have fun.

Dance a little, even grab a photog’s camera in the first half to goof around some.

But, with just over 7 minutes to go, the smiles had been long wiped away, and a wide-eyed, deer -in- the -headlights look of panic was plastered on the faces of T Will and the other Card players as they huddled, suddenly down four points and with no answers to a determined Sienna push for an upset... (Pics and animation of Lucas stadium in Indy for view from seats)

Our #1 Question: Will Our Heads Explode?

Our #1 Question: Will Our Heads Explode?

In one week Louisville basketball –and the college basketball world–were turned upside down as the Cards surged to their first Big East Tournament title,
other the potential Big Dance #1 seeds ditched before the semis of their tourneys,
and, suddenly, shockingly, the University of Louisville –dissed and ignored just one week earlier by the national Talking Heads–
emerged not only with a #1 seed,
but as THE # 1 seed overall in the Big Dance,
and as the #1 team in the ESPN Coaches poll,
and as #1 in the AP too…

All in one week.

It boggled the the mind of this 54 year old Card fan who thought he’d seen everything over his four decades of watching Louisville basketball.

The #1 question now in my mind: Has it boggled the team’s — and TWill’s– minds, too....

It’s time for glory

It’s time for glory

It’s time for a new sheriff in town.

One South of the Mason-Dixon,

a team that gets no respect from its Northern peers in this league,

or even from the national media this year.

It’s time for glory...

Dancin’ with Pitino

Editor’s note: Two years ago, I scribbled down this memory.

And now… it’s time to dance again.

The Will of the Ville: Cards Grab BE Title 62 - 59

"This environment was tough, but we’ve played at Kentucky and at Syracuse with a record crowd all screaming that they hate us. It was different here though. It was all gold and Jerry West was in the crowd… I still don’t believe it. We’re just soaking it all in right now."
