Per Jason Grooms' Twiiter. Given that time/date, I'm guessing TV appearance.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - For the fourth straight year, the University of Louisville football team will open its season on national television as the Cardinals host Ohio on Sunday, Sept. 1 beginning at 3:30 p.m. at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. It's the seventh consecutive year the Cardinals open the season at home.

The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 31, but was moved to accommodate ESPN's opening-week football schedule.

Louisville's appearance on ESPN will be the fifth nationally televised game slated this season. The Cardinals have a pair of Thursday night contests versus Rutgers and Cincinnati on the slate and two Friday night appearances versus Central Florida and Connecticut.

Ohio, under the direction of ninth-year head coach Frank Solich, return 16 starters from a team that went 9-4 a year ago and defeated Louisiana-Monroe 45-14 in the Independence Bowl.

The Cardinals and Bobcats will meet for the fifth time in school history with the series tied at 2-2, but it's the first encounter since the Bobcats defeated the Cardinals 22-15 in 1959.

And on this note, a bid of $51/night plus Priceline taxes/fees, will get you Saturday & Sunday at Galt House downtown. Bid Downtown, 3.5 stars, 8/31-9/2 at $51 per night and your total tab is about $125.

Would suggest y'all hurry up.

My guess is spread starts at +9 and trades down to +7.5 at kickoff.

Turney, I'd guess the point spread at something more like +16 or +17.

As I remember the Galt House, it's old and was a little run down. The Hyatt is a better choice.

I am very familiar with The Galt House, and yes (in my opinion) it is a little old and run down.

There are some who still view it as a premier hotel in downtown Louisville, but I think this is more out of tradition. It is broken into two towers on separate sides of the street, one of which I do not think has been updated since sometime in the 70's.

It is not a bad place, just not the premier place some see it as. You might want to look into other options as well...

As far as hotels go the Ramada and Holiday Inn are within walking distance ( a good little walk)  and there is a Super 8 within a stones throw of the stadium . My son is in the 110 and they plan on making the trip and so do I. I got my reservations and my game ticket I ordered on stub hub section 104 . Sections 101,102 and 103 are the visiting sections on the lower level and 201,202, and 203 on the upper section.

I am assuming there is a limit on the number of tickets OBC will sell to an individual member at events like this, right?

I checked the Louisville site, and single game seats and group pricing is not up yet.

It looks like some season ticket holders are already unloading on Stubhub. The cheapest seats are going for $27 in the upper deck.

Ohio doesn't have anything to lose in the opener that is for sure. Louisville is overrated because of the surprise Sugar Bowl victory.  They lost to Syracuse and Connecticut last year and only beat Cincinnati by 3. The Cats will be at maximum health and look more like the team that beat Penn State.

I've been saying to folks for a while. Louisville was a rather middling team for much of last season. They played out of their minds in the Sugar Bowl...but I wouldn't expect that same team on Sept. 1. I like playing a BCS team in game #1...they're still trying to figure themselves out.

You all realize their quarterback is the frontrunner for the #1 overall draft pick next year, right?

we beat this year's #1 draft pick 43-28 when we played him, next year's #1 draft pick doesn't scare me.

I have similar thoughts.  They deserve our respect for sure but I think all of the talking heads are over-hyping them for next year.  They definitely put on a show against UF but their margin of victory was greater against the Gators than it was against the mighty Panthers of FIU.  They easily could have been towards the back of the Big East pack with a few unlucky bounces that ended up going their way.  3 of their 5 BE victories were by 3 points or less. Again we need to bring our A game but this matchup will be there for us to win!

The hype is a very good thing on OUr end. We may beat the team that is in the preseason spotlight. OHIO = BCS party crashers.

Here's hoping Louisville 2013-14 is similar to WVU 2012-13.  WVU was very average all season long, had a breakout game vs. Clemson in their bowl game and that's all anyone remembered.  They were over-ranked and over-hyped all preseason because nobody remembered how average they were all season long, they just remembered the blowout victory over Clemson.  We'll see if Louisville fits that Big East mold this season?
