2012 CL Resolutions

We're more than a few days late, per usual, but that doesn't mean that we don't have big goals here at Cardinal Laws for 2012 until the Mayans prove it all futile.

Till then though, here's some things we'll be implementing and looking to foster in the coming Cardinal year...

1) Community. We're truly thankful to everyone that clicks by to read our daily ramblings. Our site's readership has grown steadily since its inception two years ago and it has been a ton of fun for me, Mr. Black, and recently CliffySmalls to share our thoughts with you.

While my own self-regard knows no bounds, we're still very interested in what you guys have to say. We're making it a point in the New Year to be responsive and fostering of feedback in the comments section. We want thoughtful, honest, uncensored discussion. So if you've been commenting, keep it up, and if not, pick a handle for yourself and let's have a chat.

2) Doggone Days of Summer. Dornnnn!!!!! I just bought my first RiverBats cap and I'm counting down the days till spring training. Does minor league baseball have spring training? I better get on that.

Because in addition to our regular coverage of all things UofL, Cardinal Laws will be following the Louisville Bats religiously this summer. To be honest, I lost track of the national pastime somewhat after I gave up a promising career at the age of 13 to pursue masturbation. But it's high time I picked it up again. Baseball, I mean. Cardinal Laws is all in on the upcoming Bats season, we'll attend as many games as our schedule can allow, and we'll bring you everything you wanted to know about our Triple A squad...and more.

We don't have long to get up to speed, cause opening pitch is April 5th. A season preview will be forthcoming in March. Dorn fever, baby. Catch it.

3) New voices. Want to be a blogger? Course ya do. We're interested in adding another writer in the New Year. If you have a passion for the pen and UofL sports, let us know. The site e-mail address is cardinal.laws@gmail.com (mind the dot). Find a topic you're keen on and give it a try. We'll post your piece(s) on a trial basis, and if you're good, we'll add you full-time.

4) Greater focus on the "lesser" sports. Rule #1, stop referring to them as "lesser sports". Though I spend 99% of my time and energy to UofL men's basketball and football, we need to find time to highlight the other athletic achievements of the Louisville Cardinals. And after that, wife and family. In 2012, we seek to put greater attention on all Cardinal athletics and I look forward to getting to know the student athletes that make UofL sports great.

5) Podcasts. Oh, they're coming. We're working out the kinks, and perhaps the number one priority around here is to get podcasts up and running. I know a cast of characters that need some mic time, and we'll be tackling lots of sports topics soon. Big East tourney and then the Big Dance will likely be amongst the first subjects. And brace yourself, my voice sounds exactly like Fransico Garcia's, so don't freak out.

Here's to 2012 and hopefully many Cardinal victories to celebrate, or in the case of basketball, a victory would be a nice place to start. Thanks for following. Go Cards.
