We are a little over a week from the yearly battle between the Louisville and Kentucky basketball teams. Very exciting time if you are a fan of either team and it’s one of the greatest rivalries in the country. But for the kids who play for our beloved schools it is pretty much just another basketball game. Unless it’s a player that has grown up around the rivalry it doesn’t mean any more than that. Knowing how crazy things are going to get around these parts over the next week Coach Pitino got his guys out of the state of Kentucky a few days earlier and will keep them out until a few days leading up to the Kentucky game. Coach Pitino said that he didn’t want the guys to get caught up in it all.

Our Cards hit the road this week and won’t play in the Yum Center for 21 days. They are currently in Miami where they will play FIU on Saturday. Last night the guys took in a Miami Heat game. Several pictures made their way onto twitter of some of the players having a good time and heat fans taking the opportunity to get a picture with Kevin Ware. Pretty crazy that at an NBA game our Cardinals are still celebrities.

I’m glad the guys got to get out of town this week and glad that Coach Pitino has chosen to keep them out of town. Things will surely get crazy around here as fans gear up for the Battle of the Bluegrass…
