My question in all this with the Scheffler situation this morning: Was the mayor or governor not on the phone trying to get this stuff dialed down? Basically a traffic misunderstanding that blows up into a national incident that damages the city's prospects for a multimillion dollar event. Where a bigger picture is involved, I'd like to think some pretty big-time leadership is engaged. Again, let's listen to everybody in this and see.
From FSU site Tomahawk Nation on Louisville basketball:
"A few years ago ESPN had coaches and other experts rate the ACC programs on a number of factors to try and identify the most attractive jobs (ie, where was it easiest to win?). Of course, Duke came in No. 1 largely due to boosters who will pay whatever it takes, but fans who weren’t quite up to speed on how cushy of a job Louisville is were a little surprised to see UL come in at No. 2, ahead of North Carolina.
Louisville easily polled as the best facilities (FSU was 13th), and their budget was No. 2 (FSU was 9th). So how bad of a job is Kenny Payne doing with the Cardinals? Bad. Really bad. Really really really bad, like let’s not lose to these chumps or oh hell I don’t even know bad. Now in his 2nd season, he’s 10-43* overall and 3-27 in ACC play. He has two wins against top 100 teams."

Louisville's 28-point halftime deficit is its largest since it trailed Bradley 44-12 on Dec. 10, 1938. Bradley went on to win 71-26.
It's the third-largest halftime deficit in program history.
