Okoye, a former University of Louisville star, met hundreds of children during a recent eight-day charity trip with other NFL players to Africa.

I admired him at UofL, even more since then. He is a great ambassador for our program. If players like him were coming out under Kragthorpe too I'd think good things were happening with our football program. But Okoye's Petrino's man. All Kragthorpe has done is lose. You have to be a good guy AND win.

ESPN's Chad Ford has this to say about Clark:

Earl Clark, F, Jr., Louisville

Here's next year's schedule. I'd recommend going to the away games as the home ones are all yawners. Maybe we can schedule our way to a winning season. Arkansas State? At least schedule Western and keep the money in state.

Sep 5 - vs. Indiana State, TBA
Sep 12 - Open
Sep 19 - at Kentucky, TBA
Sep 26 - at Utah, 7:30 PM ET
Oct 2 - vs. Pittsburgh, 8:00 PM, ET
Oct 10 - vs. Southern Miss, TBA
Oct 17 - at Connecticut, TBA
Oct 24 - at Cincinnati, TBA
Oct 31 - vs. Arkansas State, TBA
Nov 7 - at West Virginia, TBA
Nov 14 - vs. Syracuse, TBA
Nov 21 - at So Florida, TBA

What a disappointing end. We never really looked good today. Every shot except that backdoor play was contested and difficult. Oh well. I'll be disappointed doubly if Pitino leaves. ::Sigh::

I'm not usually one to spread rumors but I heard one and hadn't seen it out there yet. I have on good information (who doesn't) that UK contacted Pitino last week just to gauge his interest in coming back. Gillespe's out. The specifics mentioned included $6 million / year (making him the highest paid college coach and the second-highest paid coach in all of sports behind only Rick Adelman of the NBA Kings at $6.9M).

They inbound to Laettner... Here's the shot... Whoaaaaaaaaah!

Really a Pitino fan I guess. Or else he's on the payroll for adidas:

TWill Update: Terrence Williams underwent knee surgery Wednesday and is expected to be out four to six weeks. The school announced that the surgery was successful. Team doc Dr. John Ellis performed the surgery to repair a medial meniscus tear in Williams' right knee. Williams was injured during a pickup game Tuesday.

This was the poorest offensive game I have ever witnessed. Krag is out of his league in D1. I wish it weren't true. I don't know if TJ would cut him loose but if it takes 4 years for him to figure it out this will be bad.
