Louisville did not look sharp in the first half and were down 2 at halftime. However in the second half a totally different showed up on the floor. The Cards turned up the heat offensively and defensively which led to them outscoring Miami 27-12 in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter Miami cut the […]
—It’s game day for the red hot Louisville women’s basketball team. The 10th-ranked Cards face Miami in Coral Gables at … 3 p.m.? Holidays are over. I know there’s football tonight, but we don’t need a top 10 basketball team playing in the middle of the afternoon on a Thursday. Anyway, here’s a preview. —Louisville […]
Ah yes, a disappointing conference L to a better, more talented, legit national title contender and the All Is Lost Brigade has emerged. Of course, I’m disappointed. I was truly forlorn as the game slip slided away in the 2d against Duke. But, I try to view in context. Let me start with this reality: […]
It was a Dickensian nightmare. The best of times. The worst of times. A Tale of Two Halves. So, the answer to the question I’ve been asked over and over again for the last several weeks is . . . . . . “No it is apparent we are not ready to beat Duke.” * […]
For the third time in as many tries against Duke, Pat Kelsey’s Louisville Cardinals got off to a great start, held a solid lead at halftime, and then completely folded in the second half. U of L was outscored 46-26 in the second frame as the Blue Devils rolled to an 84-73 win Tuesday night […]
Pretty big one here, guys. It would be cool to win it. Go Cards.

Welcome back everyone to the longest, darkest, most depressing stretch of the calendar year. Thank God for college basketball … and positive transfer portal news in college football. —NET Rankings Update (men’s): No. 14 —NET Rankings Update (women’s): No. 12 —The Louisville men’s basketball team is down four spots to No. 20 in this week’s […]
What’s better than keeping the best running back in college football? Keeping the best running back in college football and then landing a transfer portal stud at the position less than 24 hours later. Former Missouri running back Marquise Davis, who took an official visit to U of L over the weekend, committed to the […]
Louisville will be without its star freshman point guard for the biggest home ACC game of the season. Pat Kelsey revealed Monday morning that Mikel Brown Jr. will once again be out when U of L hosts No. 5 Duke Tuesday inside the KFC Yum Center. A lingering back injury has kept Brown off the […]
Like the whole fraternity house full of signal callers who’ve matriculated through the revolving door of Jeff Brohm’s QB Room at the Schnell Complex then left, two more have bid the Cardinals their fond(?) adieu. Deuce Adams and Brady Allen have gone veni vidi splitski. Sayonara, ye former future Johnny U wannabes. As for who’s […]
After three days in the transfer portal, Louisville running back Isaac Brown has opted to remain a Cardinal. Despite being pursued by some of the highest-profile programs in college football, Brown will return for a third season at U of L, where sources tell Card Chronicle he’ll play for less money than he could have […]
After the game Courtnee Walton (Director of Operations) said that she was glad the Cards pulled off this victory otherwise they were going to have wasted all the 5-0-0 balloons and confetti that they bought to celebrate Coach Walz’s 500th victory. Fortunately no balloons had to be popped unused because the Cards had a commanding […]
For the fourth time in four years, Jeff Brohm appears prepared to give the reigns to his offense to a transfer portal quarterback. Ohio State quarterback Lincoln Kienholz has committed to Louisville during his weekend visit to the school. A 5-star recruit coming out of high school, Kienholz battled during the summer for the Buckeyes’ starting QB spot […]
For those who have followed college football for quite some time, they realize that ‘recruiting season’ isn’t actually a season, but a three hundred and sixty five day a year adventure of selling your staff, your program, and your current athletes that this school, program, facility, is in fact, the place to be. It never […]
That Louisville even had a legitimate chance to eek out a sweep of their West Coast trip is a testament to . . . . . . I dunno . . . grit. ???????? Louisville 76, Stanford 80. The Cardinals never held a lead for the last 15:01 of the 1st. But trailed by only […]
Three nights ago Louisville looked unstoppable in a 90-70 win over California and Stanford managed just 40 points in a 7-point home loss to a bad Notre Dame team. A lot can change in 72 hours, apparently. U of L suffered just its second conference road loss under the direction of Pat Kelsey in an […]
Cardinals > Cardinal. Always. Go Cards.
As it has about every other day for the last several weeks, it happened again this Friday morning at my fitness joint. A fellow asked, “Can the Cards beat Duke?” I replied as bluntly as I have all the previous times. “We don’t play Duke. We play Stanford.” Don’t rush it, fans, those Blue Devils […]
He’s restored pride and normalcy to the Louisville men’s basketball program, and now he’s brought home the highest honor a Louisvillian can earn. Pat Kelsey is your 2025 Card Chronicle Person of the Year. Congratulations to the man … now go win a national title and become the first solo back-to-back winner in the award’s […]
Louisville’s top defensive performer from the 2025 season is running it back for 2026. Clev Lubin, who established himself as arguably the second best best edge rusher in the ACC this season, says he’s coming back for one last ride as a Cardinal next season. In his first season after transferring in from Coastal Carolina, […]

There was no New Year’s Day hangover for Louisville today. After a long holiday break they started 2026 the same way they finished 2025 with a big victory. That said, it did take a quarter for the team to assert dominance. Coach Walz said, “First game back after the break so I anticipated a little […]
I’m going to say something that I’ve said multiple times this season, even after some pushback: I’ve been watching Louisville football for as long as I can remember, and Isaac Brown is the most naturally talented running back I’ve ever seen don the red and black. Bilal Powell was tremendous, Michael Bush was a freak, […]
The CAS is growing faster than July kudzu in Yoknapatawpha County. Talking about the Cignetti Adoration Society. It’s not just round here. Checking in with my NYC pal Courthouse the other night to preplan for our annual sojourn to New Orleans for JazzFest, he told me to be sure to root for Indiana. His son, […]
