The ESPN/USA Today Preseason College Basketball Poll was released on Thursday and UofL found themselves near the top at number 3. Only North Carolina and UConn are ahead of the Cards.
What does the ranking mean? Since they haven't played anyone but themselves yet, not alot. Many times the preseason rankings will get fans all pumped up about their team only to leave them disappointed come March.
That will not happen this time.

Friday's game against Memphis is a must win for the Louisville Cardinals and here are five reasons why.

With that said I'm getting tired of Major League Baseball's obsession with its two Chicago teams.
Here's what has me upset. Back in September ...
