The narrative that Pat Kelsey’s Louisville teams are susceptible to being bullied by more physical opposition isn’t going away. Not after an 83-62 thumping at the hands of big, bad Tennessee Tuesday night in Knoxville. The Cardinals, playing without star freshman point guard Mikel Brown Jr., looked out of sorts from start to finish during […]
This would be a monster victory. Let’s get it. Go Cards.

Isaac Ellis, a three-star combo guard from the class of 2027, has committed to Louisville. The 6’1 junior from North Carolina had previously been committed to South Carolina, but decommitted last month. He committed to U of L while on an unofficial visit to the school over the weekend. Playing for YNG Dreamerz in the […]
Should we have known from Week 0 that this was going to be a schizzy wackowhirl season of epical psychodramatic proportions? I imagine. Recall with me what happened in Dublin when Iowa State bested Kansas State in a Week Zero Battle o’ Erin. The winner of which, one sage — Guilty — predicted would make […]
Every quarter of this game felt like it’s own separate game. In the first quarter both teams went toe to toe and were scoring at a high clip ending at 26-24. Then in the second quarter there were long droughts for both teams and at halftime the score was only 38-33. The third quarter both […]
At Media Day before the season I noticed that still rehabbing Kasean Pryor’s hair was its natural color. Brownish. At least, not blonde. I asked him if he was going to go to the peroxide when he was back to playing? “Maybe.” “It might be a biblical thing,” I suggested, “you know, Samson and his […]
Louisville’s pretty tough to beat on an average shooting night. A good shooting night by the Cards is going to be enough to knock off most teams in the country. An exceptional shooting night by U of L? Well, Memphis State just found out what that looks like. The Cardinals connected on 18 of their […]
Go Cards. Beat State. Go Cards.

Mike and Dan are back to talk a little football, the basketball win over Indiana, and Saturday’s rivalry matchup against Memphis State. Direct link here.
—According to Pete Thamel and Adam Schefter, Louisville WR Chris Bell suffered a torn ACL during the team’s loss at SMU last month. It’s believed to be a clean ACL tear, and Bell is set to have surgery this week with noted surgeon Dr. Dan Cooper in Dallas. Here’s hoping this doesn’t drop Chris out […]
Memory often misfires, then melds and merges. We think we remember something especially resonant. Then check the facts and discover being close but a little off from the timeline. Such as it is today, when sharing my personal favorite U of L over Memphis State memory. Which is why I’m going for a twofer, a […]
For the majority of the first quarter it appeared as though this might be a very long night for the Cards. With about 3:30 to go in the quarter the score was a paltry 8-6 and even after a scoring run that made the lead 21-12 going into the second quarter, Louisville shot just 14% […]
Here’s the replacement opponent for Georgia: The University of Louisville football program will open the 2026 season with a neutral-site matchup against the University of Mississippi, the schools announced Wednesday. The game, set for Sept. 5 or Sept. 6, will be played at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., and televised nationally on ESPN. “We are […]
At least for the regular season anyhow. I was waffling about weighing in on the CFP and such as the Aldi’s Egg Yolk Bowl featuring North New Hampshire A&M vs. West New Mexico School of Podiatry. Both 5-7 but making it because there weren’t enough schools at .500 or better this year to fill out […]
As was widely anticipated, Louisville will not host Georgia for a football game in Sept. of 2026. The Cardinals will also not go to Athens to play in 2027. In light of the SEC moving to a 9-game conference schedule next season, UGA and U of L announced on Wednesday that they were “mutually agreeing” […]
Nothing confirms your favorite school has had an exemplary pigskin campaign worthy of continuing on to the post season and competing in a heralded bowl game . . . . . . like a trip to the Sunshine State to play two days before Christmas when guys who are actually football fans and might be […]
—The Louisville men’s basketball team is down to No. 11 in both human top 25 polls this week. An important note: Every men’s basketball national champion has been ranked in the top 12 of of the week 6 AP poll. —The women’s basketball team is holding steady at No. 22. —After a thrilling 5-set win […]
With all due respect to the New Hampshire Wildcats*, they are no South Carolina. The biggest question coming into this game was whether or not Louisville could ride the momentum from their valiant performance against the Gamecocks a few nights before. When the Cards jumped out to a 20 point lead in the first quarter […]
Louisville will conclude its 2025 football season by taking on Toledo in the Boca Raton Bowl. The game will be played at 2 p.m. on Dec. 23 at Flagler Credit Union Stadium in Boca Raton, Fla. ESPN will have television coverage of the game. Toledo enters the postseason after a regular season that saw the […]
Comeuppance: “a fate deserved.” That would be the relative No Show in Fayetteville. The antonym of that: Well, absolution, and/or uh exoneration kinda but don’t exactly work. It’s still early in a long season. Vindication. That’s the one. Louisville 87, Indiana 78. What follows may be gibberish. Despite the Cardinals überfast start — 16-0 after […]
Louisville scored the first 16 points of the game and never looked back on their way to an 87-78 bounce-back win over No. 22 Indiana Saturday afternoon in Indianapolis. Ryan Conwell scored 21 points to lead the way for the Cardinals, who hit 13 three-pointers and had five players score in double figures. Isaac McKneely […]
Big one. Go Cards.
