Local fans will get to see both Western Kentucky and Louisville tonight

Local basketball fans will get to see both Louisville and Western Kentucky play in the NCAA Tournament despite the fact their games are at the same time.

WTVF - Channel 5 out of Nashville will carry the Louisville/Tennessee game tonight at 8:57pm.  On WUXP - Channel 30 (Mediacom Ch. 13), the Western Kentucky/UCLA game can be seen at 8:40pm.

The first game on Channel 5 will be the North Carolina/Washington State game at 6:27pm.

On Friday, Channel 5 will show the Davidson/Wisconsin game at 6:10pm followed by the Michigan State/Memphis game at 8:57pm.

The Western Kentucky/San Diego game can be seen on WUXP - Channel 30 (Mediacom channel 13) Sunday at 1:40pm.

Jeffrey Adams is big on film too!

Louisville offensive lineman Jeffrey Adams got his first taste of the Kentucky/Louisville rivalry Saturday in Lexington.  The former Trigg County standout went through the pregame drills and shows he's not starving while away from home.  Thanks to Todd Griffin of the Princeton Times-Leader for sending the pic.

Louisville vs. Murray State

Louisville kicks off the Steve Kragthorpe era as they host Murray State Thursday night at Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium.

The Cardinals are ranked anywhere from sixth to 12th in the preseason college football polls.

Jeff Adams is listed as second string right offensive tackle behind senior Breno Giacomini.  Adams has also worked out at the guard spot.

If you have ESPNU on your dish, you'll get to see Thursday's game.

Cardinals grace the cover of ESPN the Mag

I went to the mailbox to get my ESPN the Magazine and was greeted by three Louisville Cardinals on the cover.  The coverboys are receivers Mario Urrutia and Harry Douglas and quarterback Brian Brohm.

That trio may be the deadliest in college football today and will no doubt put up huge numbers in 2007.

A nice article on the Cards inside also.

Jeff Adams and the X-Box

Jeff Adams is up to second string right guard at the University of Louisville.  The 6-8, 300-pound redshirt freshman from Trigg County began the spring at right tackle, but injuries at the right guard spot forced the shift behind sophomore Mike Donoghue, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal, who pretty much called the right guard spot the weakest on the Cardinal line.

While the bump to second string is good news, Adams found out some more good news last week.  He's on a video game. 

Jeff called home last week to tell his parents that his likeness is on the NCAA '08 video game by EA Sports.  The video game, which makes you feel like you're part of the action (both playing and coaching), hit the shelves recently.

Jeff and the rest of the Louisville Cardinals hit the real field Aug. 30 when they name their score against Murray State at Papa John's Stadium.

Here is the full 2007 Louisville Cardinal football schedule

Louisville to open 2007 football season with Murray State

New Louisville head football coach Steve Kragthorpe will make his Cardinal debut against Murray State Aug. 30 at Papa Johns Stadium.

For Murray's sake, I hope the paycheck is a big one.
