According to this story, the rest of the Cardinals' 2007 schedule will be released at a later date. We'll post it once it is made available. In the meantime, what do you think of Murray State being the first game of the Steve Kragthorpe era in Louisville? Should be a pretty easy 'W' for Brian Brohm and company, eh?

The University of Louisville and the BIG EAST Conference released the 2007 football schedule for Steve Kragthorpe's first season with the Cardinals. Louisville will face six teams that earned bowl bids in 2006. Rutgers, West Virginia, Middle Tennessee, South Florida, Cincinnati and Kentucky all went to bowl games last season and those teams were a combined 5-1 in post-season contests.

Pitt has been getting Blue Chip recruits past two years; and coach is one of my favorite ex-Dallas Cowboy's assistant coaches in the Super Bowl years. Pitt may make a statement this year. So Louisville will need to have the non-injury gods on their side to play the last 4 games of the season. I know ESPN will be all smiles because those are going to be some exciting games!
