The Louisville Cardinal Sports Report (NCAA B-Ball '09)

[countryboy]

Alright, let me preface by saying that I am new to all of this and am not computer literate enough to do all the fancy smancy stuff that others do. But this seems like fun and its intriguing to read other people's dynasties and since everyone seems to post about their respective dynasties in this thread, I thought what the heck, I'll do as they do. And I liked how K-Rob laid his out, so I'll be borrowing alot(if not all) of his ideas.

I've already completed a season and will do a recap of that season. I am also in the middle of January of my second season so I'll try and get people caught up to speed.

And please any and all responses are welcomed. I'd like to think that others are reading and enjoying what I am doing. I keep records for myself in a notebook(yes I buy a notebook for each sports game I buy) so I can go back and relive my highlights and lowlights and see just how much fun I've had.

So without further adu, here is my dynasty thread dedicated to my Louisville Cardinals in NCAA Basketball '09. It may not pretty to look at, but it should be fun to do.

Enjoy!

Well, I was going to update it this morning at work, but I forgot the paper I had it written out on.

Your Samardo Samuels swept all the Big East individual awards in my Georgetown dynasty. It was ridiculous!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to your dynasty thread cb. It's always nice to see what a fellow Big East fan can do. Hurts me to say, but good luck to your Cardinals. haha.
