Tribute Video: P I T I N O

Posted on by

A good friend of Pitino ”hired” me to make him a video (as a surprise).  I say “hired” because there is no way I would charge to make a video for the man who brought us a national title.

He wanted some shining moments, and YES a Pitbull song.  I love that the Pitino-Pitbull bromance is a real thing.

They had a dinner last night, set up a projector and let the good times roll.

There was too much to use, and even much hard to find, but i think it turned out pretty good for the man who made good on his promise to Louisville fans when he was hired.

That promise was: “Return Louisville to National Prominence”.

That he did.

Hope you like.

Louisville’s Season Opener Versus Ohio to Air on ESPN

Game moved from Saturday to Sunday at 3:30 p.m.

May 8, 2013

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – For the fourth straight year, the University of Louisville football team will open its season on national television as the Cardinals host Ohio on Sunday, Sept. 1 beginning at 3:30 p.m. at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. It’s the seventh consecutive year the Cardinals open the season at home.

The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 31, but was moved to accommodate ESPN’s opening-week football schedule.

Louisville appearance on ESPN will be the fifth nationally televised game slated this season. The Cardinals have a pair of Thursday night contests versus Rutgers and Cincinnati on the slate and two Friday night appearances versus Central Florida and Connecticut.

Ohio, under the direction of ninth-year head coach Frank Solich, return 16 starters from a team that went 9-4 a year ago and defeated Louisiana-Monroe 45-14 in the Independence Bowl.

The Cardinals and Ohio will meet for the fifth time in school history with the series tied at 2-2, but it’s the first encounter since the Bobcats defeated the Cardinals 22-15 in 1959.

Conference Scorecard: Final Tally

Posted on by

B1G and Big East measured close in many ways, but the later round performance gives BigEast the nod.  A National Champion doesn’t hurt the cause either. The Big East started 3-5 in the RD of 64, but afterwards racked up a 10-2 record after that (one of the two losses delivered by a member conference when Cuse defeated Marquette).  Most metrics are razor-thin, except score, how so?  When the Big East took their upsets, it was early, and they had wins to offset the damage.  While B1G took upsets later, they had less wins to offset.  Meanwhile, the BigEast kept racking up wins (and upset wins) piling on the final margin.   It’s not perfect, but its equal.

  • Winner: Big East, with B1G as 1a.
  • Biggest Suprise:  Pac12 & A10 finished 3rd & 4th.
  • Biggest disappointment:  Big 12, whoa.

Big East Teams vs. Spots Available - by Round.

  • Bids: 8 for 12%
  • Rd32: 3 for 9% (drop)
  • Rd16: 3 for 19% (surge)
  • Rd8:  3 for 38% (mega surge)
  • Final Four: 2 for 50% (supa-mega-surge)
  • Final Game: 1 for 50%
  • Champion: 1 for 100%

Final Scorecard (points earned per round)

You get points for wins, bonus points for upset wins (uw), and bonus subtraction for upset losses (ul).  That point tally leads us to the most efficient tourney performance.
