Pat Kelsey & The Snub
Sunrise/ Sunset/ Since the beginning it hasn’t changed yet/ People fly high begin to lose sight/ You can’t see very clearly when you’re in flight — “On Your Way Down” Allen Toussaint To be honest I didn’t pay much attention initially when Pat Kelsey was first asked Monday morning about not being invited to attend […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 74 Days Until Kickoff’
JARVIS STRICKLAND #74 Height: 6’6” Weight: 295lb Position: OL Class: Freshman Hometown: Paducah, KY Summary: If Jarvis Strickland turns out to be as good as many believe he will be, then the Cards can point to Coach Owens and Vince Marrow as the catalyst for his presence on campus. The number one ranked recruit in […]
Mikel Brown Jr. selected No. 6 overall by Brooklyn Nets
With the sixth overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets selected Louisville point guard Mikel Brown Jr. Brown becomes the highest Louisville player selected in an NBA Draft since Felton Spencer was drafted sixth overall in 1990. The year before, Pervis Ellison had become the first, and still only, Cardinal to ever […]
Jeff Brohm Gives Us A Summer Tease
If you were itching for a football update in the middle of summer, Brohm and a few of the Cards delivered just that yesterday afternoon, providing a brief recap on where things stand in the program currently, and what to expect in the coming months. Brohm spoke on kicking off the season with a difficult […]
Tuesday afternoon Cardinal news and notes
—SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell ranks the 60 best players in this year’s NBA Draft, which begins tonight. Both Mikel Brown and Ryan Conwell are on the list. —College basketball coaches used to grow up dreaming of being the next Coach K. Now many of them want to be the next Brad Stevens, and it’s no […]
Finally A Glimpse of the New Look Cards
Sunday was the summer solstice, longest day of the year. Because of the severe meteorological conditions, it was also a Marc Weinberg kind of nighttime. The hyperventilating TV weather junkie surely set a PR for screen time, tracking tornado warnings, wind rotations, dust signatures, and admonitions for viewers to “get to your safe place NOW.” […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 75 Days Until Kickoff’
CAMERON GORIN #75 Height: 6’5” Weight: 295lb Position: OL Class: RS Freshman Hometown: Fishers, IN Summary: As I started putting together this summary for Cameron my mind immediately shifted to Cam’ron the rapper, and I drifted down a rabbit hole of ‘Hey,Ma’ and ‘What Means The World To You’ and rest of his discography. Then […]
Pat Kelsey, Louisville players serve up a summer update
Lots of good stuff here from the head coach, and some interesting(?) comments about not attending this week’s NBA Draft.
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 76 Days Until Kickoff’
TYLER FOLMAR #76 Height: 6’6” Weight: 315lb Position: OL Class: RS Freshman Hometown: Cantonment, FL Summary: Folmar was an offseason addition from the high school ranks last year, ripping up foes down in the panhandle of Florida like the Lions at ‘Gulf Breeze Zoo’. For those making the pilgrimage down to Pensacola or Gulf Shores, […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 77 Days Until Kickoff.’
Cardinals History By The Numbers Back in 2013 the Cards welcomed a rag tag Florida International squad into Papa’s house under the Charlie Strong regime, and the first half was…..well, an absolute beatdown. Dominque Brown led the highlight plays of the half with a 77 yard rumble setting up a one yard score on the […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 78 Days Until Kickoff’
CHARLIE EDGEWORTH #78 Height: 6’7” Weight: 320lb Position: OL Class: Freshman Hometown: Chattanooga, TN Summary: While its not right, and should not be acceptable in our country, I’m out here fighting the good fight and have yet to gain the momentum I need to avoid this blatant hate and bias. I’m of course talking about […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 79 Days Until Kickoff.’
Cardinals History By The Numbers Nick Keller did not hesitate to kick the air out of the ball during the 2025 season. Launching 79 kickoffs during the year, Keller finished Top 3 in the ACC in touchbacks (60) and yardage (5073), and was less than half a yard away from leading the conference in average […]
Nominations are now open for the 2025-26 CC Least Cool Person of the Year
With Louisville sports officially wrapped up for the 2025-26 academic year, it’s time to turn our focus here to the least cool parts of what was an overwhelmingly cool season of Cardinal athletics. Today, we open up the nomination process for our 19th Card Chronicle Least Cool Person Tournament. For the uninitiated, here’s how this […]
Crawford Chronicles: Scooter Edition
Second in a series of remembrances by former Cardinals about iconic Crawford Gym. If not nearly as magnificent as those dimes he fed Bobby Turner through traffic as a high profile, eerily impassive freshman, it was still “Assist Scooter McCray.” I was on my way out to chat him up and had misremembered the exact […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 80 Days Until Kickoff’
BRODY FOLEY #80 Height: 6’6” Weight: 260lb Position: TE Class: RS Senior Hometown: Cincinnati, OH Summary: I know I won’t be the first, and certainly won’t be the last, but consider me firmly planted in row one, seat one, of the Brody Foley hype train. The former IU recruit, who spent a couple years with […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 81 Days Until Kickoff’
JAKOB DIXON #81 Height: 6’4” Weight: 215lb Position: WR Class: Senior Hometown: Louisville, KY Summary: In between trips to ‘Bonnie & Clydes’ pizza and Mike Linnigs for a fish sandwich, Dixon played a little football for PRP a few years back, and when I say “played a little football” I mean he was All-State, and […]
Seedy’s Tuesday Sports Snippets
Instead of twiddling my thumbs in anticipation of a Pat Kelsey presser, which I’m advised by the person in charge of such matters will be/ should be/ might be forthcoming in the near future, I weigh in on some other athletic infused gems from the literally wide world of sports: Our long national nightmare is […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 82 Days Until Kickoff’
TERRANCE “TJ” McWILLIAMS #82 Height: 6’0” Weight: 190lb Position: WR Class: RS Junior Hometown: Indianapolis, IN Summary: McWilliams, an Indianapolis native, had made his way up the road the last few years to ‘row the boat’ with the Gophers in Minnesota, but didn’t see a ton of action and was looking for a fresh start […]
Hey, I won a dance contest
I’ve been fortunate to have done many things over the last couple of decades that I never could have imagined doing when I first launched this website. Competing in, and winning, a “celebrity” dance competition might now be at the top of that list. I can’t properly thank everyone involved with Let’s Dance Louisville for […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 83 Days Until Kickoff’
DJ WILLIAMS #83 Height: 6’1” Weight: 180lb Position: WR Class: Freshman Hometown: Tampa, FL Summary: For those of us who were here yesterday reading about Payton Cook (thanks for coming back, y’all), the synopsis on Williams could be very similar. Highly touted athlete/prospect with major interest from high major programs (Ole Miss, FSU, Notre Dame) […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 84 Days Until Kickoff’
PAYTON COOK #84 Height: 6’1” Weight: 190lb Position: WR Class: Freshman Hometown: Akron, OH Summary: Brohm and staff wanted to go secure some weapons in the high school ranks in 2026, and Cook was high on the list of bolstering up the arsenal. A near consensus four star player, Cook chose the Cards over Miami, […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 85 Days Until Kickoff’
JUSTYN REID #85 Height: 6’5” Weight: 260lb Position: TE Class: Senior Hometown: Newnan, GA Summary: When Louisville looked at their tight end room the last couple seasons I think they saw some athletic players who could help them in the run game and occasionally make some offensive plays if put in the right position. Most […]
Crawford Chronicles: Burkman Edition
The first in a series of unknown duration, where former Cardinals reminisce about their days in Crawford Gym, on the tenth anniversary of its demolition. The former Cardinal guard, whom I hadn’t seen for awhile at the JCC where we both work out, was limping toward his favorite elliptical. Roger Burkman. Member of the 1980 […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 86 Days Until Kickoff’
JACKSON VOTH #86 Height: 5’11” Weight: 190lb Position: WR Class: Junior Hometown: Cheney, KS Summary: While I’m not certain if this is ‘God’s Plan’, the Drake transfer Jackson Voth is bringing some High IQ football to The Ville in 2026. A bit under the radar in the portal, Voth packed his bags in Des Moines, […]
