Rick Pitino follows through on promise to get Louisville tattoo

Louisville coach Rick Pitino made a midseason promise to get a Cardinals tattoo on his body if his team won the NCAA title.  Well the team won and, true to his word, the coach got his left shoulder inked with a big "L" and the words "2013 NCAA Championship 35-5" Friday morning. And it's way bigger than anyone would have imagined.

It was also probably a lot less painful to get because he had the championship trophy in the tattoo parlor to cling on to.

Kenny Klein, the university's Senior Associate Athletic Director, tweeted the big news.

Way to go coach.
