A group of University of Louisville fans from Lexington arrives in Section 233 of Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium at least an hour early to watch warm ups before home games.  They are friends and family of UofL quarterback Justin Burke, following him to football games on the road as well.

His mom, Jennifer Burke, has never missed a Justin Burke game anywhere. Brother Nathaniel Burke plays football at Lexington Catholic High School. And his girl friend, Alden Krausse, plays basketball, a forward at Indiana University-Southeast.

Front row: Kathie Dozier, Adam Gibbs, Barbara Gibbs, Diane Dozier.  Second Row: Matthew Frazier, Elyse Halwes, and Alden.  Third Row:  Donna Frazier, Jerry Burke, Mary Ann Burke and mom Jennifer Burke.  Fourth Row:  Taylor Deschane and Nathaniel Burke.

Dad Greg is missing from the photo, down closer to the field watching warm ups.
