After a rough weekend with the Syracuse loss, we've got no choice but to look forward to Louisville this week. But there is a positive with Midnight Madness this weekend, which means basketball season is just around the corner. This week's music courtesy of Dwight Yoakum - a cover of Johnny Cash's 'Home of the Blues.'
