Crazy about the Cards

Louisville is absolutely bonkers about U of L athletics. Like about half the office went home early yesterday because they had to get ready for the Cardinals vs. TCU. Thank God the Cards handily beat the Horned Frogs, or there would have been a lot of sad people in town today.
