Before I begin, I want to start out by congratulating my Louisville Cardinals basketball team for proudly closing out Freedom Hall with a big win over Syracuse on Saturday. It was a perfect birthday present to witness a moment of history in college basketball. Now on to the Tweets from the past week.
