Denny Crum's 6th Favorite Website
—NET Rankings Update (men’s): No. 9. —The Louisville men’s basketball team is holding strong at No. 6 in both major human polls this week. —Saturday was one of the ugliest days in the modern history of Kentucky football … which is saying something. —I don’t hate this. —Updated bowl projections for Louisville are here. —Kentucky […]
I try to view things in context, keep a broad perspective, look at what’s happening from different angles. It doesn’t always work. Like my sense that Kentucky would not fire Mark Stoops this year. I was wrong. Now, I understand. They’ve been crushed by their hated rival two years in a row, the latest a […]
Louisville dominated Bellarmine (coached by former Card great, Monique Reid) in the final game in a multi-team event that included Eastern Illinois and East Tennessee State playing in a round robin event. The Cards played all three teams in the past three days and handled each of them easily. It was beneficial for players like […]
Sweet. Unexpected. A derailment of a clobberation at the RR Yard. Louisville 41, Kentucky 0. In ping pong we’d call that a skunk. In the Commonwealth, we call it a beatdown, a gubernatorial landslide of epic proportions. Cards total of 41 matched that from last season’s Krogering shopping spree. Last eight quarters: U of L […]
Just find a way. Go Cards.

JEFF BROHM NEEDS TO STICK WITH DEUCE ADAMS Louisville is going to go to a bowl game, but there is not much else left for this season outside of some statistical milestones and bragging rights. The issue for Brohm, at least in my humble opinion, is that next year’s roster has major gaps. Quarterback is […]
Mark Stoops is coaching for his job for what seems like the fifth straight year, but his team has shown up for him lately when things seemed to be at their worst. The Cats showed fight against a Tennessee team that punched them in the mouth before going on a three-game winning streak to put […]
The most underrated defensive coordinator in the country might just be Brad White. The Kentucky play caller has spent the last half of the decade putting the Cats in a position to win a good amount of games that they had no business winning. With the offense struggling through multiple coaching changes, White has been […]
It’s hard to believe that there have been 30 games between Louisville and Kentucky since the rivalry was revived in 1994. Take a big gulp out of your commemorative “Big Game” cup from McDonald’s and enjoy the definitive ranking of all 30 modern contests between the Cards and the Cats. No. 30 2018 — Kentucky […]
Transparency in reportage: I wasn’t in the Yum! to cover the Thanksgiving Eve Cardinals game. Several reasons. 9:00 Tip off was at my normal bedtime. The game was against a Bottom Ten ranked school. Driving home late at night on one of the biggest bar nights of the year is not optimal for an old […]
Louisville hit 20 three-pointers, the second-most in program history, on its way to a 104-47 rout of NJIT Wednesday night inside the KFC Yum Center. The overmatched visitors from the America East never put up much of a fight, as U of L raced out to an 8-0 lead and never looked back on a […]

To fill airtime during fallow sports times of the year, ESPN does this Ocho thing. “Sports” you’ve never heard of, or even conceptualized. How far up on a roof you can throw a beanbag, and some such. Stuff you made up in your backyard after school when you and your best pal were nine years […]
—Spread check (football): Louisville by 3. —Eric Crawford sets the stage for one of the weirdest Battle for the Governor’s Cup game weeks we’ve ever seen. —Louisville is No. 4 in CJ Moore’s weekly hoops rankings for The Athletic. —The Players Era Festival might feel soulless, but it’s the future of Feast Week basketball. “I’m […]
This started like the kind of affair the Cardinals have played many times through the years. After a big road W, a generally mundane let-down effort against an overmatched foe during the holidays, when a lot of fans stayed home to make some sweet potato pie. Early on, the team’s focus was less than. Missed […]
The Louisville men’s basketball team kicked off Thanksgiving week in style with an 87-46 blowout of Eastern Michigan Monday night inside the KFC Yum Center. Despite a slow offensive start, 10 Cardinals scored on a night where the U of L defense limited their guests to 28.0 percent shooting from the field and just 13.0 […]

The fellas discuss Dan’s experience at the Louisville-Cincinnati game on Friday and try to avoid talking about football for as long as they can. Direct link here.
Just when you though the football season couldn’t possibly be more over, we hit a new rock bottom. And the scariest part about that is there’s still a Governor’s Cup to play for against a less than impressive Kentucky team. It could still get oh so much worse. I think the question we should start […]
Louisville played a pretty solid game for three quarters. Unfortunately after a spirited first half that ended with the Cards down 2 (35-37) they seemed to come out flat to start the second half. They only scored 6 points in the third quarter and despite some good runs in the fourth quarter they could never […]
Woeful as my prognostications have been this season — mediocrity in microcosm — never have I been as sure about the outcome beforehand, as I was in advance of Louisville heading to Dallas to take on SMU. This. Was. Inevitable. Were I a betting man — which I am not — I would have gone […]
One loss in a row to these guys is too many. Let’s go. Go Cards.
