Louisville women's basketball leaves today...Tyra to Stay -- TUESDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

CARDS DEPART FOR COLUMBUS AT 4:30 P.M.

If you want to be part of the sendoff for the University of Louisville's trip to Columbus, today is the day to arrive on campus. Fans are encouraged to line Floyd Street dressed in red and send the team off to The NCAA Women's FInal Four in Columbus. 

Parking is available in the Solae lot across from the YUM! Practice Faciity Center (2432 S. Floyd Street -- not the KFC YUM! CENTER downtown). What a Solae is, i have no idea, but you can park there beginning around 4 p.m. or so for viewing a 4:30 p.m. departure by the team. Ole' Solae!  

Louisville will play the first game on Friday night against Mississippi State and the tip time should be a little after 7 p.m.

More on the parade. If anything, and, at the very least...it could be good practice for the Crescent Hill Easter Parade. Much more importantly, it is a chance to wish the team well as they go to participate in the third Final Four of the Jeff Walz era. 

Coach did hold a press conference yesterday at the YUM! Practice Facility at 1 p.m. That was about the same time the news on Vince Tyra being named and accepting the athletic director job at Louisville was breaking. Coach reviewed the upcoming tournament (and a special "great job!" to the moron who asked about all four participants -- when we only knew two of them, at the time). Who's sending food editor's to these things, anyway?

Coach also talked about the Lexington Regional, UConn, defense and the vastly over-blown incident of a microphone catching him saying a not-so-nice-word when talking to the team after the Oregon State win. Microphones...they're everywhere. Heat of the moment, emotion, pride and enthusiasm all being taken into account...it happens. Coach apologized (not that he really needed to) for the slippage of the "obscenity". Some people really need to realize that coaches aren't always going to express themselves "in the King's English" and that this was most definitely the way Walz talks on a daily basis. 

Haters. Everywhere. Give Coach a break. 

Here's the link to yesterday's presser:  
Jeff Walz's Monday press conference

Sorry about the choppy sound quality. If I find a better link, I'll replace it. 

Walz will also participate in a head coaches Media Teleconference today provided by the NCAA. Walz's time to talk is noon. Vic Schaefer is at 10 a.m., Geno at 1 p.m. and Muffet at 2 p.m. You can access the transcripts for these at: http://www.asapsports.com/recent.php after they happen. 


TYRA WILL STAY


The Boards convened yesterday morning in executive session and, around 1 p.m., reported that the had unanimously voted to make Vince Tyra the permanent Athletic Director at UofL. 

First off...his name is pronounced " Tie-Ray", not "Tie-Ra".  Like "tie Ray to the bar." 

I've had the pleasure of knowing Vince since the mid-nineties. We have a friendly relationship. He comes from strong UofL stock, his Dad was a great basketball player at UofL and his mom one of the biggest fans for Cardinal Sports out there. Despite the fact that Vince went to Kentucky to play baseball (Louisville never offered), Vince has been a lifelong UofL fan and unwavering in his support of all Cardinal Athletics. 

He makes the road trips. He'll be in Columbus. He talks with the coaches and they all seem to be pleased that he's the third athletic director in 37 years at UofL. 

He replaces a true legend in Tom Jurich and he realizes that. He knows that this fan base needs to heal a bit and come back together...and that it will take time. Most importantly, he hasn't done anything wrong in his decisions as the interim A.D. 

He got rid of a highly questionable Lacrosse coach and hired one of the best and most respected in the Lacrosse world in Scott Teeter to replace her. He got Karen Ferguson-Dayes (women's soccer), Dani Busboom Kelly (volleyball) contract extensions and raises and rightly so. They are shining examples of good coaches who genuinely care about their student-athletes and the university. He's working with Coach Walz on a new contract, which shouldn't be all that hard or complicated...Jeff has often said he wants to be at Louisville until he's fired or retires. 

He'll be adding a basketball coach for the men in a couple of days. Most think it'll be Chris Mack (Xavier) and that'll be a great addition to the coaching contingent at UofL. 

To use a baseball term, Vince has knocked each decision he's been faced with out of the ballpark and touched all the bases. 

He has guided Louisville Athletics through some very murky waters and is the right guy to continue to be at the wheel. 

Congratulations, Vince. I am 100% behind this decision and I hope all Cardinal fans will accept, embrace and cherish this decision. We don't have to forget about the past, but it is time to move forward. Vince fully realizes and embraces the things that Tom Jurich accomplished here in 20 years and makes a point of bringing that up and lauding Tom. 

I look forward to the Tyra era at UofL. 


CARDINAL COUPLE WBB PICK 'EM

With just three games left to play in our NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament Pick 'Em , we have a clear leader and quite a few waiting just behind for him to falter. 

Ken S. leads the way with a record of 46-14. There is a six-way tie for second currently...with Paulie, K Starks, Real Joe Hill,Arthur, Jared and Mike D. all at 44-16. 

Ken has UConn defeating the eliminated Baylor in the Championship game. If UConn loses to Notre Dame and Louisville wins the National Championship, we would see a shakeup in the standings. 

Thanks to all who participated and a special "Thanks" to our Bracket Czar Jared Anderson for volunteering to track the games and report the stats!
