Covering Louisville Cardinal basketball

I may have mentioned this before, but last night made me think it again. I love my job. All the I’s got dotted and the t’s got crossed and I got my credentials to cover the #2 ranked University of Louisville Cardinals basketball squad at the KFC Yum! Center. This year’s team could go all the way to the championship and I’m lucky enough to be along for the ride, covering the games for Louisville.com.

All kinds of fans cheer on the Cards. Yes, that’s a chicken and a…I don’t know what.

So every home game, look for me and my Louisville.com compatriot Max Sharp, shooting pictures and writing winning stories of the Cardinal march to the Final Four. Here I’m posting the sights of the game, like the fans above. That sections will cheer the loudest and be the craziest all season long.
