It was a great night for tweets. It was a weird night for pretty much everything else.
Let’s relive the tweets and then speak very scarcely about most of the other stuff that happened.

With kickoff two hours ago, 17 minutes remaining in the current rain delay, and 8:52 remaining in the first quarter, this will easily be the longest first quarter in Louisville history. #GoCards

There is something wrong w/UofL Football. Forget the X’s & O’s, it’s far deeper than schemes & play calling. Something is rotten from within
Hangovers don't usually occur until Sunday morning but Louisville's looks pretty convincing.

Still time for ESPN to get Maria Taylor here to ask Bobby Petrino about the Louisville QB situation after the game. Malik Cunningham has the offense. He's already the Cards top rusher with 30 yards on 4 carries.
— rickbozich (@rickbozich) September 9, 2018
Plenty of time to gnash our teeth over this one, yes it's bad, but props for pulling the trigger with Cunningham at the right time. Now let's get through the 4th and tie a bow on this turd.
