Time for Some Spring Football

After about a month of practice the UofL football team gets to show off everything they've learned in Friday's Spring football game at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. It's supposed to be a huge fan friendly event. Former UofL players including Harry Douglas will be in attendance.

The biggest draw of the night however may be the 7-on-7 celebrity football game, which yours truly is a part of. It's been a while since I've hit the gridiron but I thoroughly expect Coach Steve Kragthorpe to ask me after the game if I have any eligibility left to suit up for the Cards. Anyways here's the full release UofL sent out on the spring game. Hope to see you out there:

The 2009 Louisville Annual Red-White Game is all set for Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. Head coach Steve Kragthorpe announced a special scoring system for the game. Here is how the game will be scored.
