The next two days are going to be an exciting time if you are a sports fan in the state of Kentucky and especially if you are a Cardinal Fan. Tonight will be the premier of the RedVBlue movie documenting one of the best rivalries in college basketball between Louisville and Kentucky. Then on Saturday the teams will face each other for the 46th time. Oh yea and there’s also the Russell Athletic Bowl where our Cardinal Football team will play the Miami Hurricanes.
This morning I had the chance to interview one of my favorite Louisville players of all times and a Cardinal legend James “Boo” Brewer. He was a star on the basketball team at the University of Louisville from 1988-1993. There he held the record for the most 3-point shots made in a game for 11 years and the most steals in a game for 3 years. He won Metro Tournament awards for the best free-throw shooter and best 3 point shooter for 2 consecutive years. He went on to play professional basketball in Europe for 14 years.
He has been inducted into the Dawahare’s Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s Hall of Fame.
I got a chance to ask him some questions about the big weekend and the part he played in the RedVBlue movie. Here is the full version of the Q&A I had with “Boo”.
