Louisville football: Go Cards

The Card March, a stadium that glows red under the lights, and the Governor's Cup against Kentucky give Louisville a football identity all its own. The Cardinals have produced a Heisman winner and plenty of NFL talent, and Card Nation turns out for big road games across the ACC.
