Well, do you U of L fans think we can keep Coach Strong around?

3.7 a year is mighty hefty plus a 5 million dollare buyout should solidify his longevity here

It's a great time to be a Louisville Cardinal fan!

We were honored to be at the 2013 Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, and touched by the incredible support from the fans. Not everyone thought we had a chance to bring home the trophy, but like you, we went there to win and we finished the job! Like I said at the end of the game, this win is dedicated to the fans for their unwavering loyalty.
The University of Louisville is not just winning big in athletics, but also in academics. We’re making great strides, illustrated by these examples from the last ten years:

Our 6-year graduation rate has increased from 33% to 52%. This is the fastest growth of any university in the state.
The average ACT score of incoming freshmen is up to 25.0 from 23.2, which is UofL’s “personal best”.
We just announced that we had passed the $750 million mark in the Charting Our Course campaign. The goal for this campaign is to raise $1 billion by June 2014.

It really is a great time to be part of the UofL community, and we expect things to keep getting better. Our accomplishments are fueled by charitable donations from our alumni and friends. Please help UofL chart its course by making a gift through the Fund for UofL, the university’s annual giving campaign. You can designate your gift to the academic area or athletic area of your choice.
I look forward to seeing you next season.
Go Cards! Charlie Strong Head Coach, Football

Worth EVERY nickle!!! Got Sugar? WE DO!!!

I was there..Section 318. It was worth every nickel. I took my youngest son with me and he took a friend and my nephew. That was a memory that he and I will share forever!
There is no price you can put on that.
I make a donation each year to fotball, men's basketball and also made a donation to expand the baseball stadium. I have been a season ticket holder for women's basketball for 7 years now. L1C4!
