On the Crane shots, I'm guessing four. What she fails to realize is that champagne will be involved…
I do not really care what they do with the basketball and baseball, for at least we have enough teams there.
But in football, this shady 8 team BCS conference, needs to add 2-4 more teams, and have a championship game.
I love my conference, but we…
Well keep us posted, and we would like to go with you guys this season(s).

Just to let the readers know, Shaggy actually was put to rest on Monday. It took Paul several days before he could bring himself to write about it.
I'll always remember Shaggy sprinting majestically down the stretch at Churchill being caught at the…
Only if you convince Chief White to cut back on the tactical support cops they keep by the Parrish House on football game days...which I'm fully convinced are there to prevent rioting when I sing Skynyrd and Pat Travers with Robbie Bartlett's fine b…
Always welcome to stop by the Paddock Bar at the track during the live meet and have a cold one with me and Sonja. We don't know what we'll be running there , if anything, this spring...our trainer getting increasingly fed up with the politics and d…
Damn Paul. Sorry for your loss of Shaggy. Sounded like my kind of horse.
We are expecting to be spending some time with you and Sonja this season at the track. We kind of took last season off, but will be back in full sing this Spring.
We have a b…
What a sad, but beautiful story....I wish your family peace and love! My sister had to put her 12 beloved basset hound down as well.....it never goes well and the grief is almost too much to bear. I love thinking of them hanging out in the field run…
The call came this morning at 10:30. It was from one of our racing syndicate partners. It is his farm where several of our horses are stalled. It was also the home of Shaggy Moment...a gelding we owned but had not raced in a couple of years.

I'll look at this in terms of the women's basketball program, because the Big East is the strongest conference in women's hoops. I have no wish to see ECU or Memphis weaken the Big East women's basketball programs. Neither have been relevant in year…
I don't give a shit what we do, but we have 16 basketball teams, and 8 football teams.
We need LESS basketball teams, and 2 to 4 more football teams.
I love and support my conference ALWAYS, but this copy and paste Big East bullshit has to give. I…
Rumor has it that Rick seen TJ at Porcini's with a platter full of blonde salmon. Strictly against the team dietary regimen (bad for team chemistry). Also rumored that Porcini's is off limits to the team. If true TJ should consider himself lucky onl…

- Punching out a guy at the Liberty Bowl in the concession stand line during halftime in the '99 season when we were there to play Memphis.
Four of us got tossed, but me and Bob bought scalper tickets, went back to the van for a couple of beers, re-entered the stadium on the other side, bought and donned Memphis caps and t-shirts and walked unrecognized right past the cops that tossed us and returned to our seats...to the cheers of the group we were with. Louisville won that night 32-31 on a diving Lavelle Boyd catch of a Chris Redman pass in the end zone with 4 seconds to go.

The wait for results
Waiting for the beginning of the Cardinal football season and the start of fall practice this year can be best described by remembering the story of the little boy who sent Santa an early Christmas list in October. At the end he added:
"Just wanted to get in a list of a few the good things I've been doing lately, so when it all goes south in early December, I've got some pluses in the 'nice' column. The 'naughty' will take care of itself like it usually does."
And so it goes these days with Ca… Continue

Hot Walker Blues
The invitation came pretty much on a dare, after listening and discussing what goes on early in the morning on the backstretch at Churchill, before the races are run. Fortified by several beverages, I express an interest in taking part in the morning routine...not as a spectator..but as an actual worker.
Before I know it, the offer is accepted and plans are laid out for me to show up Sunday morning. I offer to pick up my mentor for the day and the deal is done. I find myself a little nervous bu… Continue

CARDS headed to the Super Regional. Vandy falls 5-3
Since I was the designated fan at the game tonight, Sonja has trusted me with the report on tonight's game. First of all, it was a blast...ran into several friends and got to sit with the legendary Al Parrish thruout the contest and sample his "vitamin water" most of the game, so this might be interesting to read, OK? We had fun, though. Al is the man. It was a privledge and pleasure to enjoy a game with him.

Win it all....YES WE CAN
Shame on the media and newspapaers across the country calling us the weakest link in the Women's Final Four. Boo to the talking heads on TV and faceless blobs on radio that say we have no chance. Here's is the how and why the Lady Cards can march back from the Arch. We need several things to happen:
1) GO CARDINAL. The Stanford Cardinal. A beating of UConn in the late game Sunday would increase our chances of a Final Four title exponentially. The Cardinal beat UConn last year in the Final Four.… Continue

MARCHING TO THE ARCH!
Hey...Paul here...still alive and well and still the bomb.
Say it with me one time....FINAL FOUR, BABY! Your University of Louisville Lady Cards are headed to St. Louis to rock the Scotttrade Center and flatten the wheels on the Boomer Sooner Express. It's gonna be a knock down, drag out rock n' roll party in the streets and we ain't singin' no St. Louis blues. Noway.
They tried to railroad us and stack the deck against us. A three seed. Sening us to Bayou Country to play in LSU's back yard. D… Continue
