"Crum Court" Announced

[PRESSROW]

:lol:

Is that how Louisville fans spell congratulations?

[oldrambler]

Ok ok ok....I'll make the obligatory joke:

 

That's a really crummy name.

"Crum" is the correct name for that dump! :laugh: :laugh: I too offer my congrats to U.L.mand D.C. on the honor.

The article in today's Courier Journal said it was the court at Freedom Hall that was going to be named Denny Crum court. It doesn't make much sense to name a court after him that won't be used by the Cards in the near future.

 

 

Crum Court.

It'll be named for Crum, and the name carries over to the new arena.

And now Louisville basketball will be played on Denny Crum Court. The school announced yesterday that the Freedom Hall floor will be dedicated in Crum's honor before the Feb. 7 game against Georgetown. The court name will carry over to the new downtown arena, which is scheduled to open in 2010.

I have to ask ...

 

Did they leave the "B" off of the end of the name of the court?

PS - just kidding - I think the honor is well deserved, and I'm glad to see that the name will go to the new facility as well. :thumb:

Only the X fans. Trinity fans can spell "Congratulations". The word comes the way of the Rocks pretty frequently.

I believe that you quoted the wrong one on this one. Mine was not the post that pointed out a spelling mistake. Are you by any chance a U.L. fan, if so this mistake is understood, we have to allow for that amount of intelligence:D

 

 

(just kidding, I have made many mistakes on here along with everyone else.)

[Jim Schue]

Maybe his name will improve the quality of players on the court. :lol:

 

 

Or even the coaching for that matter. :jump:

 

Funny stuff, considering the Cards are playing better than your guys right now. Enjoy that short stay at No. 25?

 

 

 

Congrats, coach. You're the best! :thumb:
