Oh man, I can already feel the comment section heating up. But the 19th marks the 23rd birthday of Louisville All-American Russ Smith, who spent plenty of time celebrating over the last four years, bringing two Final Fours and a title back for the Cards in his sophomore and junior years.
There’s every reason to hate Louisville, and Louisville fans. Their highest-profile coaches are proven and notorious liars who revel in infidelity (both personally and professionally); their fans are obnoxious for no reason; and that calligraphy “L” is just atrocious. But some of their players, like it or not, deserve respect. Peyton Siva and Gorgui Dieng earned it a couple years ago. Montrezl Harrell is about to earn it next year (yep, get ready). And Russ has definitely garnered the respect of the Big Blue Nation for his ability, and his class, over the last four years. Anybody that says otherwise is either jealous, or hasn’t been paying attention.
So happy birthday Mr. Smith, we’re happy you’re celebrating turning 23, but we’re glad you’re gone. We’re sorry you had to go 1-5 against the Cats. And we’re really sorry that the birthday people think you’re Peyton Siva:

I'm not sorry he went 1-5 against us. I wish it was 0-6.

I agree with that. 0-6 would've been much sweeter. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
But Smith is a good guy. I wish him well in the NBA.
