It has become an annual tradition for the NCAA Championship basketball team and football team to take a visit to the White House to meet the President of the United States. For the second year in a row there has been a team from the Bluegrass State make that trip. This time it was the Red teams turn to take the trip. And if you are like me then you know that the White House sure looks better in Red.

President Obama seems to really enjoy these visits and maybe more so than others who have held the office. Obama is an avid sports fan and fills out his NCAA bracket every year in front of the nation. This year he picked Indiana to be the National Champion and Luke Hancock earlier in the week joked that he was going to ask the President “why he didn’t pick us.” I seriously doubt that happened as I know these young men were in awe of the moment. To many it is a dream situation to get a chance to shake hands with a President and today the young men of the Louisville Basketball team got to live that dream.

It was a very cool moment to see those guys standing up there bursting with pride and it was a great way for the fans and that team to top off the incredible basketball season we shared. I hope this next season will bring even more special moments and maybe a repeat trip to the White House.
