I can promise you this post will be short winded. I'm a die hard Louisville Cardinals fandishing out props here to rival Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun. So let me express my bitterness before due respect is given. UConn may be the better basketball program this year and Huskie fans could even argue the better program for the last ten years. But I can assure you that the University of Louisville has more historic prestige in college hoops to this day. At the end of the day, sports teams, college or professional, will be judged on the number of championships they've captured, not the acheivements accumulated in a 10 year time span. For the sake of Cardinal nation I hope Calhoun"s squad crashes and burnes in the final games of the regular season. I want a #1 seed damnit! Sorry, had to get that off of my chest. Thanks for staying with the post. Please read on.
Congrats Jim. You've now joined some of the elite coaches of the past, and in some cases present, by becoming the seventh coach in Division I college basketball to reach 800 wins. Some notable names on this short list include the likes of Adolph Rupp, Dean Smith and Bob Knight. And so now, Jim, welcome to the company of coaching geniuses. You'll be pressed by fans, alumni and faculty alike to perform at the highest level of coaching. You've raised the bar for yourself and your program. If that bar wasn't set before your celebratory win last night over Marquette, it will certainly be seeen bright and shining right in front of your very eyes.
Oh, Jim. By the way. GO CARDS!!!
