Louisville crowd noise will arrive midway through the first quarter. Start to leave in the fourth.
ACC teams will be permitted to pump artificial crowd noise into their stadiums this football season, a conference spokesman confirmed.
UNC coach Mack Brown mentioned that on a Zoom call this morning.

This might be my favorite ad of the 2018 midterms.
For 200 years, my family mined coal and for 24, I served this nation. Carol Miller on the other hand was born in the swamp – the privileged daughter of a Congressman with a silver spoon in her mouth.
Cut the bull, Carol. You don't understand service.

Somewhere in Kentucky tomorrow history will be made when the first two high school teams flip a coin to determine who gets possession first in their season opener.
I hope that coin makes its way to the Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame.

Today was a tough day for my family as we said our goodbyes to Shelby, who we were fortunate to know and love for more than 10 years.
The image below won't show it, but she was the sassiest dog I've ever known. Truly a good girl, and I'll miss seeing her on our couch as if she worked a 12 hour day in the sun.

My grandmother, 95, is in the room next to my office, watching The Young and the Restless. CBS is airing a classic, Nikki and Victor's wedding from the mid-80s. A couple minutes in, WLKY breaks in to show Mayor Fischer's daily briefing.
I hear my grandmother blurt out "Jackass."

How to identify an out of town anarchist in Louisville:
1. When you give them directions just tell them its past "the old Sears building" but before "the old Bacon's."
2. Ask them where they went to high school.
Q - Has LMPD confirmed that "anarchists" have come to town.
A - Both Chavous and Mayor Fischer say yes. Ex. people were asking for directions to places common to Louisville.

What happened to Louisville and Chubba Purdy today is no different than what Kentucky experienced with Wandale Robinson last year.
Just because 18 year olds change their minds that doesn't give you the right to lose yours.

Today I heard more than 20 @DeSales_Colts seniors talk about their experience on their retreat. To a man, they said the experience this past week transformed them from friends & classmates to brothers.
Then just over an hour later, I saw 17 different seniors demonstrate that.
Earlier today, the father of DeSales football senior Bryson Clark passed away. Tonight, on Senior Night, he was escorted by his mom, his family, his fellow seniors on the team and their fathers.

One thing Ballard coach Chris Renner noted in his postgame comments was the lack of stats on the KHSAA web site. The association is supposed to require them & it can make challenging for scouting, especially when you can't get a lot of film
Can make it hard for reporters, too.

Still trying to process what I saw tonight. Unbelievable finish by DeSales against a team that very well might win its 6-A district this year. And that's a district with X and Male. Butler's offense is scary good and it only looks to get better.

PRP coach Dale Mabrey said his team fed off Cashawn Beasley's energy in the 2nd half. So it was only fitting he scores the winning bucket with less than :10 left in the Panthers 55-53 win over Valley in a 21st District Tournament semifinal.

#UofL FB started spring practice today. DB Cornelius Sturghill w/ a telling quote: "The coaches, they bring a lot of energy and that's what the players were looking for. They make us want to be here. They bring a lot of energy. We’re feeding off them, and they’re feeding off us."

NY Assemblyman posts opinion from a Cornell Law professor that counters the opinion that was used to suspend the Cuomo impeachment inquiry.
Robert Hockett says removal has more meanings than just the physical definition.
Here’s our memo from Robert Hockett @rch371 explaining why the Assembly’s reasoning to not impeach Cuomo is “regrettably short on both legal authority and persuasive authority.”

Thanks to @wave3news for getting my ire up this afternoon, for publishing an awful column from @BillyReedSays.
The first two paragraphs play into every disgusting South End stereotype imaginable. Stopped reading after that.
I won't link to it b/c it doesn't deserve clicks.

Congrats Coach!
CONGRATS to my good friend David Burns on his retirement today after 30+ yrs in JCPS. “Coach” has served the last 28 yrs as AD @ Southern HS. Sorry, Louisville Southern 😎. Impacted thousands of student-athletes. Nothing but admiration & respect. Character. Class.
