Firework Festival

Posted Oct 9, 2005

Jesse Holley didn't hang around to see if there would be any further fireworks from the overworked Papa John's Cardinal Stadium scoreboard. After each Louisville touchdown, extra point, and field goal, two bursts of red sparkling fireworks had been rocketed into the very fall-like night from the top of the board. By the time Saturday's 69-14 thrashing was finished, there was serious concern about whether enough fireworks inventory existed to maintain the pace. (Tar Heel Blue)
