The dry spell about to come to an end for University of Louisville sports, and it couldn’t happen soon enough.
No conference realignment banter this summer, no scandals involving coaches or players, many of us content with reruns of the Sugar Bowl or NCAA championship videos.

Bloggers feel it more than anyone, this one fighting off the urge to regurgitate the news releases from the SID’s office. When everybody is writing about the same thing, nobody is being creative. When the most interesting topic of the day is which number an incoming transfer will wear, well, things have slowed to a crawl.
