I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer. Having said, I humbly ask for your prayers (and positive vibes) for my wife and family. Tomorrow, she'll be undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumor. The love and support we've already received has been unbelievable.
In news much more meaningful and important than sports, I'm blessed, fortunate, and grateful to say that my wife received another clean MRI scan! Praise God. 🙏

That Jurich letter was lame, reeks of pettiness and aims to divide. No matter what your opinion of Josh Heird is, there was absolutely no reason to disparage him as he has carried himself with class. It’s the University of Louisville, not the University of Tom Jurich.
Make no mistake, this is a power move from
@LouisvilleMBB
and makes the statement back-to-back seasons of a poor product won't be tolerated. The expectation for this program remains extremely high - as it should.
IT WAS BENIGN! So happy, thankful, and overjoyed I can't put it into words. Thanks again to everyone for the prayers, positive vibes and support. It's appreciated.
Three years ago today my wife had her head cracked open and a brain tumor removed. So thankful and blessed that she's had the best possible outcome since her diagnosis.

@LouisvilleMBB
is one of just nine programs with 3 or more national titles.
UofL is tied for 6th most Final Fours, tied for 5th most NCAA tournament appearances, & has the 6th most NCAA tournament wins. THIS is the standard; stop with the .500 nonsense is acceptable in Year 2.

@LouisvilleMBB
's schedule is insane....
Duke
Kentucky
Michigan State
UNC
Indiana
Seton Hall

"This is the closest group I've had since Providence. ... I was trying to rattle their cage a little bit to get them to play like this tonight."

I've seen a lot of former
@LouisvilleFB
players tweeting that they'd be interested in coaching the Cards. Why not sign a few of them to 10-day deals to help coach during bowl prep and the game. Not sure if it could be done, but if it can, why not? We need coaches.
-Of course UK shoots 47% from 3 when they are 28% on the season
-Of course Maxey hits 4-5 3s when he came into the game 1 for his last 16
-Of course Richards has a double-double
-Of course Nwora has his worst game of the year
-Of course UofL shoots 26% from 3 & 45% at the FT line
Kudos to
@LouisvilleFB
for the turnaround this season. After the BC loss nobody (except the team) thought they could do it. Major props to
@CoachSattUofL
and staff.

Shouts out to the
@LouisvilleFB
staff for identifying top talent, zeroing in on their No. 1 priorities at MULTIPLE positions: QB, RB, WR, OL, CB and DE and getting them all to commit.

is a program changing class.
Is Mack going to be here for the foreseeable future? Yes.
Should he be given a longer period to restore the program to an elite level given the program's circumstances? Yes.
Should fans be upset about the product on the court? Yes.
All three can be true.
If Satt wants to truly shake off this fake juice vibe, then he should immediately give the offensive play calling duties to Coach Taylor and the defensive play calling duties to Coach Crime. You can’t expect different results if you’re doing the same thing.
Super proud of my wife as she celebrates her two year brain surgery anniversary today. Blessed and fortunate to have received a positive prognosis and great care from her medical team at Norton. Praying for another clean MRI in a couple of weeks.

Mack has now brought in FOUR new players that shot over 40% from 3-point range last season at their respective schools: Cross, Ellis, Locke, and West. It's safe to say the shooting needs have been addressed.
Read through the mentions of
@CoachField
's goodbye message to Oregon. Not one Duck fan wrote a hateful message; they were all appreciative and respectful. Proof positive that he did a great job and did it the right way.
Big props to
@CoachSattUofL
for going in studio at
@939TheVille
for an hour to take some tough questions. That's an authentic way to communicate with the fans and generate more positive momentum for the 2022 season. Most head coaches won't do that.
UofL (and other adidas schools) should demand the NCAA investigate the Nike schools and penalize them.
OR
Refuse to accept any penalty and sue them for not doing their due diligence.
OR
Lead the charge for the Power5 to leave the NCAA.
Column: Merl Code, a central figure in the SDNY probe of college basketball, is heading to prison soon. But before going he's written a book and done our podcast to discuss how he did business as a shoe exec. NCAA rules were certainly broken, but laws?
At 1:16 pm six years ago today, my dad took his last breath and gained his Heavenly wings. Here's my favorite picture of him cheering on the Cards at the Orange Bowl.
UK Football players run their mouth, but there's only one program who made a commemorative DVD about beating their rival and held a parade and party - with a DJ outside of their stadium - after beating their rival.
Hint: it's not UofL

Not a single word in today's print edition of the

There are no excuses for KP's latest embarrassing loss. If you are one who made excuses in the past, respectfully stop doing it. KP either wins this year or is removed, it's as simple as that.
@CtBrack502
He still could’ve gotten 1 more year. But I understand the firing. You could argue both sides. But we’re moving forward. Best of luck to Payne.
Big time get for Coach Mack and a shot in the arm for Louisville Basketball. Landing the No. 1 Grad Transfer - and impact player - is just what the program needed. Props to the coaching staff for landing a major piece.
Make no mistake, the Cards have to play better on the field and close games out in the 4th quarter. Still, to have Marrow subtweet out his run on sentences about UofL is doing in recruiting is proof that what Satt and staff are doing is working.
