TAMPA — The defense, already thin, lost two of its best and most experienced players this week. The offense has become predictable and one-dimensional. One of the nation's top defensive players awaits. The opponent is high-quality and the site has been particularly unfriendly. Other than that, everything looks great for the University of Louisville football team (5-6, 2-3) as it takes on South Florida (7-3, 2-3) Saturday night in its bid to pull an upset and enhance its prospects for a 10th straight bowl berth. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. (ESPNU) in Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Bucs of the NFL.

But since then, the Cards — who traveled with only 25 healthy defensive players — have lost two more starters.

Resolutions for 2008: Optimize, Nuture, and Act

Welcome to the New Year! It's a time to reflect on the past year and to renew ourselves in anticipation of the year to come. The celebration and joy of the season makes everyone a bit more optimistic and everything look a bit brighter.

Chrysler Expands CPO Program to Encompass More Dealers

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — As new-vehicle sales are expected to dip industry-wide in 2008, certified pre-owned sales are becoming increasingly important to dealers and automakers. In response to this, Chrysler officially announced late last week that it is extending its CPO program to encompass more of its dealers. All qualifying U.S. Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge dealers can be authorized for the program, whereas previously, only Five Star dealers were eligible, the automaker explained. "We are pleased to announce the extension of our certified pre-owned vehicle program to all qualifying Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge U.S. dealers," commented Darryl Jackson, Chrysler vice president of U.S. sales. "Opening the program to all of our dealers is a win-win situation, in which dealers can introduce certified shoppers to the best assortment of pre-owned Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles available, and customers are invited to experience the Chrysler brand family of vehicles at a great value," Jackson continued.
