I’ve logged many miles and traveled to several stops this week during the University of Louisville’s Cardinal Caravan. I have enjoyed this week getting to meet great Cardinal fans and celebrating the success of the sports programs with them. It was also great hearing from the student-athletes and coaches. I along with many of you get the hunger for some Cardinal sports this time of year and the Caravan is always great to get me through until football season starts. The turnout for the Caravan’s this year were some of the best I’ve seen since I started attending them several years ago. I think that is a real testament to how loyal our fan base really is.

Tonight the Cardinal Caravan had its curtain call at the fairgrounds in Shelby County. It’s always one of the best stops, and the very first Caravan I ever attended was in Shelby County. Hundreds of fans were packed in the pavilion to hear from the Athletic Department and they were in for a real treat tonight as Coach Strong made a rare appearance to the Caravan. He was on fire tonight as he broke down the season ahead and talked about some of the players on the team. The night was capped off by Chane Behanan and Russ Smith taking the stage. The crowd roared when these guys stood up. And fans mobbed them for autographs when that part of the Caravan commenced. That has to be overwhelming to them especially after having a gruesome workout today. Cardinal Fans also had a chance to hear from the new assistant coach tonight Mike Balado.

So lots of great stuff tonight and you can watch all of the videos and see some photos below from tonight’s final Cardinal Caravan of this year. I know I had a good time as always and I’m glad I got to bring the action to those of you who were unable to make it out. Go Cards!
