—The U of L softball team came up just short of making the first super regional in program history, falling to host Northwestern 4-3 in Sunday’s final regional game. Despite that disappointment, year one under Holly Aprile was a massive success for the Cards.
—After decades of the number being retired, the Buffalo Bills have finally decided to let players start wearing O.J. Simpson’s No. 32 again. The first player to receive the ... honor? Former Louisville running back Senorise Perry.
—This is wild.
Active streaks of 40-win regular seasons in D1 Baseball:
— Kelly Dickey (@RealCardGame) May 19, 2019
7 - Louisville
2 - NC State
1 - Arkansas, Central Michigan, East Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi St., UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, Vanderbilt
(Add Stanford with a 3-year streak if it wins 1 of its last 4 regular season games.)
—Donovan Mitchell is preparing for a worldwide Adidas tour in July following the release of his signature shoe. He’ll leave on July 6th for a tour that will hit Asia, France and Germany.
—In an attempt to provide some clarity, U of L has made some changes to the section and seat numbering at Cardinal Stadium for the upcoming football season. Check out the updated seat map here.
—Athlon ranks Jawon Pass as the 11th-best quarterback in the ACC for 2019.
11. Jawon Pass, Louisville
Appalachian State never finished below third in the Sun Belt in scoring offense under Scott Satterfield’s watch. Louisville’s offense averaged only 19.8 points a game last season, so Satterfield’s track record should provide some optimism for Louisville this fall. Improved play under center is a must if the Cardinals are going to contend for a bowl in Satterfield’s first year. Pass completed 54 percent of his throws for 1,960 yards and eight touchdowns to 12 picks in 2018. The Georgia native ranked as the No. 204 prospect out of high school, so there’s certainly some talent for Satterfield, coordinator Dwayne Ledford and quarterbacks coach Frank Ponce to mold in 2019.
—Former Florida State QB Deondre Francois will walk-on at FAU this fall.
