- University of Louisville Cardinals v. Long Beach State 49ers (...who??)
- Wasn't gung-ho about going to a basketball game, but glad I did!
- First Louisville game and first time at the Yum! Center
- Got a late start and trying to find parking was a nightmare; made it to the game halfway through first half
- Aunt Fay got us great seats! Not too high up, and just a couple dozen rows above the band!
- Some kids were occupying our seats when we got there. They moved reluctantly but without argument
- Not as big as the Palace (Deee-troit Basket-baaal!), but the Yum! Center is impressive! It feels a little intimate almost
- Appearance from Stephen Van Treese (player on the 2013 NCAA Championship team); he's playing pro in Japan right now (Albirex Niigata)!
- Band playing "Still Fly" by the Big Tymers, out of nowhere! I lived!
- Aunt Fay told me that Cardinal fans have a bad habit of leaving games early. She wasn't lying; 4:19 left on the clock and the place was half-empty
- Especially today, which also featured a UofL football game; as one man muttered on his way out, "Welp, it's football time"
- 63-48 victory!
- Had to drive the car around to get everybody; first time starting a car by pressing a button
- Through downtown, back to my cousin's house for another round of sitting around the TV, all of us in our Cardinal gear, eating bad food while enjoying a good game
- UofL v. UGA; Shoutout to #7 QB Reggie Bonnafon! His family's been going to church with ours for the longest
- Aunt Fay and Aunt T discussing a wayward young girl they know who keeps running away from home; how to set these kids straight; preventative programing; how to engage parents in a potential support group
- The basketball game wasn't worth watching on TV because it was too easy, Long Beach State didn't have a chance; conversely, the football game wasn't worth watching because UGA came ready to play and we just couldn't get it together
- Left good n' full n' sleepy though! It was a great evening!
