It's true.

The 2013 Allstate Sugar Bowl matchup in New Orleans against the SEC's Florida Gators is going to be a challenging one for Coach Charlie Strong's young University of Louisville squad.

The UofL Dallas-Ft. Worth Alumni Club will be hosting its final football game watch of this terrific Cardinal season for local alumni and friends of the University.

Kickoff for the Sugar Bowl is Tuesday, January 2 at 7:30 PM CST, and we invite all Cardinal football fans to join us to share in the excitement at Henry's Tavern in the Shops of Legacy in Plano, Texas (at the northeast corner of Bishop and Legacy).

Don't forget to wear your RED and BLACK colors to the game watch! GO CARDS!
