We deviated from our normal plan and didn’t have any guests on the show.  We simply took phone calls from our listeners as we shared our stories from UofL’s memorable national championship run.  It was a joy to hear how the Cards’ title did so much for the fans, the city, and the program in general.  We took calls from the younger generation of Cards fans to the veterans and the tone was the same – happiness and pride.
