Louisville DC Ron English to step away for 2026 season
It appears Louisville will be in need of a defensive coordinator for (at least) the 2026 football season. According to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel, U of L defensive coordinator Ron English has informed school officials that he would like to step away for the year. English’s son, Seth, will be playing his final […]
Nominations are open for the 2025 Card Chronicle Person of the Year
It’s that glorious time of the year again. Please remember that the person of the year does not have to be an actual person (the entire Louisville volleyball team won last year). This isn’t Sports Illustrated, it’s much, much more serious. Here’s a rundown of the winners from previous years: 2007 – Tom Jurich2008 – […]
Seedy K’s Peerless Postseason Punditry & Prognostications: Assorted Bowls 3
Never was able to get into “Mad Men” when it started streaming. Seemed kind of forced, artificial almost. But I’m giving it another shot. Have watched first episode. Will advise. It does have me thinking in the context of bowl season about marketing and advertising and PR. And how the future of non-CFP bowls will […]
Seedy K’s Peerless Postseason Punditry & Prognostications: Assorted Bowls 2
Desperate times mean desperate measures. That’s how the admonition/ homily/ observation has evolved through the eons. Credited to Hippocrates, speaking of how to treat rare illnesses in the days before Theodoric of Yorkick discovered bloodletting. Though some cite Erasmus, another ancient as the first proclaimer. Then there’s Willie the Shakes in “The Tempest.” Misery acquaints […]

Seedy K’s GameCap: Toledo
If ever there was an appropriate ending to a seriously disappointing season, and to a meaningless bowl game that was laughably inept for a half then a comedy caravan of absurdly disjointed fauxball in the second, the 2025 Bush’s Boca Raton Bowl of Beans had one. If ever there was a football game that should […]
Boca Raton Bowl Open Thread: Louisville vs. Toledo
One last time in 2025. For all the beans. Go Cards.

Boca Raton Bowl of Beans What To Watch For: Toledo Rockets
WHO WILL WE SEE AT RUNNING BACK FOR LOUISVILLE I don’t have any inside sources, but the folks I’ve talked to who do have made it pretty clear that the three top running backs for the Cards are very unlikely to play in the bowl game. I’m still holding out hope that no one announcing […]
Boca Raton Bowl of Beans Opponent Breakdown: Toledo Defense
Toledo lost nearly all of its staff when Jason Candle left for UConn. They also lost their defensive coordinator to Syracuse, which left them in more of a unique situation than most, as the playcallers on both sides of the ball have left for new jobs. The Rockets haven’t had many players opt out, but […]
Boca Raton Bowl of Beans Opponent Breakdown: Toledo Offense
Louisville will face off against Toledo in the Boca Raton Bowl tomorrow, but it’s anyone’s guess who will be calling the offense and defense for the Rockets. Robert Weiner has been named the interim head coach after Jason Candle headed east to UConn, but Weiner has not been a play-caller in his career. The defense […]
Seedy K’s GameCap: Montana
Asked before tipoff if there was some sort of staff connection with Montana that influenced the scheduling of such an outlier, SID Dana Brown advised, “No, they just met the criteria we were looking for.” So on the afternoon of the last shopping Saturday before Feliz Navidad in front of reasonably robust crowd including a […]
Cards Wallop #17 Tennessee 89-65
In the first month of the season Louisville had some games against top-ranked opponents that they lost because they went flat for a quarter and couldn’t recover. Today the Cards flattened #17 Tennessee in the 4th quarter. In the first half both teams were playing evenly in a fast-paced game full of pressing and aggressive […]
Louisville blows out Montana, 94-54
Louisville kicked off the holiday break in style with a 94-54 thumping of Montana Saturday afternoon inside the KFC Yum Center. The Cards dominated inside against their much smaller visitors, out-rebounding the Grizzlies by 23 and out-scoring them by 24 in the paint. Sananda Fru led the charge, scoring a season-high 18 points on 9-of-11 […]

Seedy K’s Peerless Pigkin Prognostications: Assorted Early Bowls
Bienvenue to the folderol bowls. For years I considered the “achievement” of bowl eligibility absurd. A bar to leap of the lowest order. Testament to mediocrity. Then I discovered my man Joey the Vig’s (RIP) Bowl Pool. To realize how having a little skin in the outcome of a December Tuesday afternoon’s Dandy Dave’s Donut […]
Louisville Beats EKU 76-51
If all you saw was the final score you might think this game was a cake-walk but if you actually watched the game you probably want to forget the first half. However as Coach Walz said, “This was probably the first game all year that I’ve seen us look as bad as we did in […]
CC Podcast: Knoxville Nightmare
We’re back to discuss Louisville’s blowout loss at the hands of Tennessee and touch on some football nuggets as well. Direct link here.
Random Thoughts The Morning After
Perspective #1: It was universally believed when Rick Pitino was named as Denny Crum’s successor, he would win another national title for U of L. He’d already won one. Been to the Final Four more than once. Coached two different NBA teams. Was generally regarded as one of the best in the biz. Pitino’s first […]
Seedy K’s GameCap: Tennessee
When you have two legitimate Top 20 teams testing each other, it’s never inevitable. But this U of L task in Knoxville against tall favorite Tennessee sure seemed close to that heading in. Well coached top level foe at its sold out home. One whose strength — inside scoring and rebounding — made it a […]
Tennessee embarrasses Louisville again, 83-62
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 […]
