Perspective on the UofL program

I went to a VCU basketball game yesterday, and the experience gave me a little perspective on Louisville basketball.

That's my group singing the national anthem. See all the banners hanging on the far wall of the arena behind us? Those are for years the Rams made the NCAA tourney.

Banners. For making the tourney.

We get to the Sweet 16, it doesn't necessarily make it a successful season. They make the field of 65, and it's an occasion worthy of commemoration via a banner.

The game ball was brought onto the floor by a hometown hero who, over 20 years ago, led the team to a #2 seed. We commemorate championships and Final Four appearances; a 2 seed that doesn't get to the Final Four is something we tend to try and forget.

We're spoiled. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
