Proud Louisville alum tonight

Not news-related but....
I'm wearing my somewhat faded red University of Louisville sweatshirt with pride tonight in support of the UofL women's basketball team. The Lady Cards are playing in their first-ever NCAA championship game Tuesday night against unbeaten Connecticut, making it an all-Big East Conference final. They beat Oklahoma and Courtney Paris in the semifinals earlier tonight, as well as Baylor in the Sweet 16. I'm thrilled to see the program reach this point. When I was in middle and high school and going to basketball camp at UofL, the program drew fans by the hands full, not the thousands. I can remember going to a few games at Freedom Hall, buying tickets and being able to sit a few rows back from the court. If you shouted, you'd be heard clearly. Now they're playing for a national title. Wow. Even if it is against unbeaten UConn, which handed UofL two of its four losses. Wow. You go, ladies! Give 'em L!
