Football - Wake at Louisville on ESPNU

The OB was awful enough I can't imagine being at Louisville. Cumberland and TITSWF will be there.
 
My wife and I will be there sitting in the middle of a Louisville section. But the tickets were free, so I've got that.
 
Federal Pound You In The Ass Prison pain coming on Saturday
 
Are there any of you on here that plan on making the trip up for the game?
 
An old favorite of mine.

Well in that case allow me to make some recommendations for those that may have never been to Louisville. For food and entertainment hit the Highlands neighborhood, there are hundreds of restaurants, bars, clubs, coffee houses and shops, where you can get your fill of live music and Bourbon. If you are staying downtown 4th street is a typical tourist trap with its share of clubs and chain restaurants. East Main Street is full art studios, and has some unique dining. Downtown has a number of museums like the Louisville Slugger, Muhammad Ali, and my favorite the Frazier History museum. Churchill Downs is just across the street from the football stadium and has its own museum. For you drinkers look up the "Urban Bourbon Trail" and keep in mind that the night life stays open till 4 a.m. every night. Louisville fans are usually pretty friendly so don't be afraid of asking directions or introducing yourself while tailgating, win or lose I hope you have a great time.
 
Their QB might be out. I suspect we give them a better game than many here think we will.

Wake has a long history of doing well against backup QBs.

Oh wait. We don't.
 
I think our offense will move the ball some and score a few points. My guess is we are still in the game half two but lose by 2 TDs.

We too had a great experience with them down there. We all huddled together and drank during the monsoon.

I really enjoy the area, and I'm hating I'll be missing this trip. I'm definitely planning on making the next one. I've got a barrel of bourbon in Laredo with my name on it that I need to check on.
 
There seems to be some belief from Louisville fans that their backup is better than their "starter" but it does sound likely the starter is out.
 
C-A-R-D-S, CARDS! fans down at the OB were about as obnoxious as it gets, but they were friendly enough. I was too pissed after that game for any rational discourse with human beings though. I'm very glad they are in the ACC, as that fanbase was exactly what we need. That being said, fuck em.

This is very informative. Traditionally, the only recommendations one hears about Louisville is to wait on a departing flight at the airport.

Couldn't be more obnoxious than the cowbells in Nashville.
